Chapter 84

~12 min read 2,234 words

Leaving the blood mud space, the Spirit Tablet Master's words just now kept echoing in Li Youyi's mind.

"If telekinetic power breaks through again, what kind of changes will happen to the Lesser Yang Star?"

For the next three days, Li Youyi didn't dare to engage in strenuous activities. Besides eating medicinal diet, he was healing his injuries or entering the Blood Tree Forest to practice telekinetic power, swallowing light and nourishing fire.

The trial-takers returned one after another.

Li Youyi didn't know how many people died in this first trial, but the medicinal diet room became much colder than before.

Seeing Yao Yin walk out of the stone gate, Li Youyi hurriedly got up, preparing to leave.

"You... wait a moment!"

Yao Yin pretended to be calm and indifferent, walking into the Blood Tree Forest with her hands behind her back, separated by a zhang: "In the spider cave, why didn't you kill me?"

It was the first time he had seen her in three days. Li Youyi said: "When we entered the cave, didn't we agree to wear out the other competitors first? So, I was just fulfilling my promise."

After dropping these words, Li Youyi walked away quickly.

Heading to the medicinal diet room.

Yao Yin clearly didn't believe this answer and followed quickly, but at least kept a distance of one zhang: "Fine, then it's a deal! I will definitely repay the favor I owe you."

"Repay the favor?" Li Youyi said.

Yao Yin exuded the arrogance common to all Pure Immortal Body Wu Xiu: "The Cistanche precious medicine, you fed it to me, right? I turned a misfortune into a blessing; in these three days, I have already broken through to the eighth spring. Among all the competitors, only that nine-spring supreme person is slightly troublesome. Let's do this: I will clear out all the competitors and leave you for last."

"Kill me last?" Li Youyi said.

Yao Yin's face became solemn: "There is no other way. At that time, I will give you a chance for a fair duel."

Li Youyi nodded, secretly deciding to also give her a chance for a fair duel.

"By the way! In the spider cave, what exactly happened? Why did ice cracks appear all over your body?" Li Youyi asked casually.

Who knew that when Yao Yin heard this, only the words "all over" echoed in her mind, and she immediately thought of some bad images. The good look on her face just now disappeared instantly, and her eyes became cold and heavy.

"Shameless, it seems Hidden Twenty-Four was right."

Yao Yin snorted, mobilized her magic power, and walked away quickly, not wanting to walk with him anymore.

Li Youyi stood there in a daze, extremely confused, not knowing at all which sentence he had said wrong, and muttered to himself: "It's her problem, definitely not mine. Hmm... what exactly did Hidden Twenty-Four spout? A Hidden person, why is she so gossipy?"

Arriving at the medicinal diet room, Li Youyi and Yao Yin sat at the furthest distance from each other again.

The surviving trial-takers arrived one after another; there were only eighteen people, all present.

The reason they came so neatly.

Is because today's medicinal diet is generous, a reward for everyone who passed the trial.

"Eight people died in the first trial. It seems that even if we don't kill each other, surviving to the last month is by no means an easy task," an eight-spring mortal Wu Xiu said in a reminding tone.

Of the four eight-spring Wu Xiu, one died, leaving three.

The tiger-like chimera eight-spring Wu Xiu licked his lips and laughed: "If we eliminate all competitors in advance, we don't need to trial and can win directly."

That eight-spring mortal Wu Xiu's face was ugly, knowing he was no match for him.

Once defeated, it meant death.

After finishing the medicinal diet.

Yao Yin suddenly rushed out like lightning, her speed extremely fast, her magic dagger stabbing directly at Li Qing.

Without warning.

Even Li Youyi was shocked, never expecting that the tiger-like chimera eight-spring Wu Xiu, who had been making threats, wouldn't move, but the soft and weak Yao Yin would become the first person to publicly attack a competitor.

It was clearly also beyond Li Qing's expectations, and he could only respond in a hurry.

"Swish!"

The dagger grazed Li Qing's neck dangerously, leaving a bloodstain on his chin.

Just a little bit more, and Li Qing would have been sent away in one strike.

"Good! Since you are seeking death, I will send you, this Pure Immortal Body, out of the game in advance."

Li Qing touched his chin, his hand full of blood. After the shock, the killing intent in his eyes was exposed, and he drew his sword and slashed out.

Yao Yin originally wanted to rely on her advantage in movement technique, plus the secret that the other party didn't know she had broken through, to unexpectedly send away Li Qing, the strongest opponent. Because a month ago, when Li Qing fought Hidden Nine, she saw that Li Qing's movement speed was a weakness.

But she didn't expect that in just one month, Li Qing would make up for the weakness.

The movement technique he used to dodge her assassination just now clearly reached the level of Heavenly Dao Law Integration.

"Swish! Swish..."

Both of their movement techniques were exquisite, rushing out of the medicinal diet room and appearing on the plaza beneath the telekinetic stone wall. In an instant, there were countless figures, and magic weapons collided repeatedly.

The Pure Immortal Body possesses the abnormal combat power to fight across a realm; this is common knowledge recognized by the world.

That eight-spring tiger-like chimera stared at the battlefield: "What a pity! Just a little bit, and the assassination would have been successful."

Although he said it was a pity, a look of relief appeared on his face.

Li Youyi said: "You go and help her, or you might be able to send that nine-spring supreme person away."

"And then? The first person she kills next will be me." The eight-spring tiger-like chimera Wu Xiu is not stupid and knows very well who the biggest enemy is at this stage.

"Puff!"

Li Qing performed a Heavenly Dao Law Integration level sword technique, and a harsh sword sound rang out, breaking Yao Yin's Heavenly Wind Palm Technique with one sword.

The sword edge pierced through her palm, coming out from the back of her hand.

Yao Yin bit her teeth, endured the pain, immediately pulled out her bloody palm, and performed a movement technique, disappearing into the Purple Bamboo Forest in an instant.

"Just broke through to the eighth spring, and you dare to attack me? Isn't it a bit too urgent?"

Li Qing shouted angrily, not chasing, but holding the blood-stained long sword, looking at the crowd behind him with murderous intent. Especially, his eyes were fixed on Li Youyi.

Because just now, when he wanted to pursue the victory and kill Yao Yin, Li Youyi's magic Qi fluctuation appeared behind him.

He knew Li Youyi was not simple and was specifically brought by the Earth Wolf King Army to monitor him, but in the current situation, clearly only one of the two could live.

Just now, Li Youyi must have wanted to learn from Yao Yin and assassinate him.

After Yao Yin, this Pure Immortal Body, was injured, she would definitely be hunted down by all the eight-spring Wu Xiu. But before that, Li Qing was very worried that all the eight-spring Wu Xiu would unite to eliminate him first.

So after thinking twice, Li Qing didn't immediately go to hunt down the "desperate enemy" who couldn't run away, but prepared to deter the "group of enemies" who were ready to move.

"Hidden Twenty-Four, Hidden Twenty-Five, that Pure Immortal Body overestimated herself and has already attacked me. Can I go and kill her at any time now?"

Li Qing shouted to the two Hidden people standing on the edge of the plaza.

Hidden Twenty-Five said: "As long as the lower-realm person attacks first, they lose the qualification to be protected. If you want to kill her, we naturally won't stop you anymore."

Li Qing stared at all the eight-spring Wu Xiu, including Li Youyi: "Did you hear clearly? You only have one life. Before you make a move, you'd better weigh your own strength."

Li Youyi really wanted to make a move just now, but thinking that he still had some doubts in his heart, he had to contact Li Qing privately to verify, so he restrained himself.

"If I challenge the telekinetic mural, can they sneak attack me?" Li Qing prepared to add a layer of deterrence and asked this.

Hidden Twenty-Four said: "Of course not."

"That's good!"

Li Qing walked toward the telekinetic stone wall and pressed his hand on it.

"Whoosh!"

Hidden Nine's half-virtual, half-real light shadow walked out of the stone wall, holding a giant axe, and attacked the challenger Li Qing.

With a boom, the giant axe collided with the long sword in Li Qing's hand.

Li Qing slid backward four zhang, his face instantly pale, and the hand holding the sword trembled non-stop. Facing the second axe slashed by Hidden Nine, he immediately performed the Heavenly Dao Law Integration movement technique and dodged.

"Boom!"

"Boom!"

……

Li Youyi looked at the battlefield of one man and one shadow and nodded gently.

Li Qing has improved too much this month!

A month ago, with just one collision, his long sword was knocked away, and he had no power to resist.

Li Qing withstood seven moves, finally his long sword fell, and he immediately admitted defeat.

Hidden Twenty-Five was shocked: "How could he improve so much? I can only withstand four moves from Hidden Nine now."

A look of admiration also appeared in Hidden Twenty-Four's eyes: "Someone who could become a nine-spring supreme person outside is naturally not simple."

Hidden Twenty-Three arrived, his huge body appearing beside them, and said: "He obtained an opportunity in the Nine Springs trial, and the trace meridians in his body are probably close to all-silver meridians. At most another month, when he reaches all-silver meridians, he will truly be invincible among this batch of people."

"But he still can't be Hidden Nine's opponent! Hidden Nine is the ultimate mortal, possessing one hundred silver trace meridians," Hidden Twenty-Five said.

The newcomer is so strong that Hidden Twenty-Four felt pressure, and her eyes couldn't help but glance at Li Youyi.

Li Qing picked up the long sword on the ground, scanned the group of eight-spring Wu Xiu who were frightened, and then chased after Yao Yin's residual aura, disappearing into the Purple Bamboo Forest.

Someone was dejected and said bitterly: "Is there any point in continuing the trial for our batch? I feel that the quota for Hidden Twenty-Six can no longer be anyone else!"

The tiger-like chimera eight-spring Wu Xiu said: "Why don't we all join forces to eliminate him first?"

"Join forces? Just us? That Pure Immortal Body didn't lose a hand; if we joined forces with her, we would have a chance. But now, with one hand, her combat power is probably not much stronger than yours."

……

Li Youyi walked across the plaza, glanced at the red telekinetic stone wall in the distance, didn't want to hit those pitiful guys anymore, and decided to find Li Qing first.

Li Qing performed his movement technique, along the Blood River, chasing downstream.

"Want to escape, where can you escape to? After passing this river valley, there are fierce insects entrenched everywhere."

Li Qing chased for more than twenty miles, suddenly slowing his pace, as three underground river tributary forks appeared before him.

He locked his eyes on the narrow underground river cave entrance on the far right, the corners of his mouth slightly raised: "The scent on your body has been exposing your whereabouts, how can you escape? You don't dare to go deep inside; you must be hiding at the entrance. Fierce insects are entrenched inside, your flesh and blood will be eaten bite by bite, and that pain is like being sliced, worse than death."

"Come out, dying under my sword is much more refreshing than dying in the hands of fierce insects."

Yao Yin, hiding in the shadow of the cave entrance, tore off a strip of cloth from her clothes, bit her teeth tightly, and trembling, bandaged her constantly bleeding palm, the pain causing sweat beads to constantly emerge on her face.

When Li Qing's magic long sword pierced her palm, the sword edge contained magic Qi, and the wound could not heal in a short time.

"Yao Yin, don't be afraid... you'll die sooner or later... don't be afraid, losing is losing, but didn't you prepare to lose before coming to the Hidden Gate? You won't be afraid... you won't, fight!"

She sat on the ground with her back against the stone wall, her chest heaving, trying hard to overcome her fear of Li Qing, recover her fighting spirit and state as soon as possible, and just as she gathered her courage and was about to rush out, a familiar voice suddenly sounded outside.

"Li Qing, it's time for us to have a good talk about things between us, right?"
