Chapter 624: Hand

Guo Hongyao had only been chasing for a quarter of an hour, and Guo Hongkang had been waiting anxiously in place. The original stable mood was also panicked. He flew north for a mile or two, but feared that there was a conspiracy, and didn't dare to move forward. "Perhaps Li Xijun has someone to meet, Guo Hongyao just showed off in front of Li Xijun, if she met Li Qinghong who practiced thunder, how could she be the opponent of others..."

He felt that Guo Hongyao was at least safe, although Guo Shengtong had disappeared for a long time, and the east and west islands of Red Reef were not in harmony, Guo Hongyao's lineage had fallen a lot, but no matter what, she was a direct descendant, and there should be many things to save her life.

"Wait again... if she has no news for half an hour... she mostly left with some talisman, I have a heavy treasure, but I can't wait here."

Guo Hongkang waited quietly, pressed one hand on the magic sword, closed his eyes, and the other hand lit up with red light, two fingers together, pressed on the Shengyang Mansion of his brow, using magic spells to put his spiritual sense to the limit, but he couldn't observe anything.

He had to give up, opened his eyes to look, and vaguely saw a red-gray luster in the distance, which was obviously the color of combined fire. He was secretly shocked, hurriedly pinched the talisman given by Guo Hongjian in his palm, thinking: "It has only been a quarter of an hour, and the aunt has used some talisman... Li Xijun is only in the early stage of Foundation Establishment, his sword qi is barely eye-catching, but not to the point of being strong. Either this person is hiding his clumsiness, or there is help."

Guo Hongkang immediately made a judgment and retreated silently. The original plan of half an hour was immediately dismissed: "Wait for her for another quarter of an hour!"

Guo Hongkang was one of the best characters in the side lineage, secretly practiced many magic spells, and had a bright future, but he couldn't afford to offend Guo Hongyao, fearing that this woman would go crazy.

"If it weren't for this, I wouldn't care about this woman's life or death!"

He waited with longing for a few breaths, and finally saw a stream of light flying from afar, swaying, the magic power light was dim and difficult to see clearly, faintly carrying white qi.

"Hmm?"

Guo Hongkang narrowed his eyes to look carefully, seeing this person fall on the shore, the layer of magic power protecting the body also dissipated, revealing his face, pale, charming, who could it be if not Guo Hongyao? The fire order in his hand was dim, and he fell to the side. This woman was covered in blood, and the magic clothes on her body were also dim, gray-red and red dyed together, which was particularly obvious on the island.

"Deserve it!"

Guo Hongkang felt refreshed in his heart. He immediately associated it with the gray-red color in the distance, laughing secretly:

"This fool suffered a big loss, used up all the talismans at the bottom of the box, and just blocked the man... escaped all the way, if I weren't here, you wouldn't even be able to save your life!"

He followed the wind, and there was still curiosity in his heart:

"I don't know what that white light is... perhaps it is the escape light of some top-level escape treasure."

Guo Hongkang moved forward, seeing Guo Hongyao struggling to climb up, her slender hand picking up the cold-shining sword, revealing unbearable pain on her face, scolding:

"Come over!"

Guo Hongkang was scolded by her, his whole body shook, hurriedly moved forward, seeing Guo Hongyao holding the sword handle without letting go, her tender white four fingers were distinct, and there was even a kind of beauty.

At this moment, Guo Hongkang's vision crossed this hand and landed on Guo Hongyao's face.

Her face was cold as frost, and her eyes were full of evil.

Guo Hongyao's face was born beautiful. Now that kind of dissatisfaction, ignorance, and impulse that she always carried on her face disappeared from Guo Hongyao's face, replaced by a coldness that was inviolable and made people feel like they were in heavy snow.

This kind of god-like rhyme that was quiet as frost and snow made Guo Hongyao not look like Guo Hongyao, but like True Person Tianwan who wore frost and snow.

"Clang!"

Guo Hongkang was only three feet away from Li Xijun who had changed into Guo Hongyao! The sword sheath of 【Cold Granary】 was held in his hand! He only felt a chill rising from his neck, and a cold light rose.

The moment Li Xijun pulled out his sword, the sword light of 【Cold Granary】 passed through his throat, neatly cutting off his head, bringing up a sky full of falling snow.

Li Xijun didn't know what the relationship between the two was, but he understood that Guo Hongyao was unreasonable, and all kinds of attitudes were not as good as pain to cover up—no matter what attitude the two had before, it was understandable to be inconsistent under severe pain.

Guo Hongkang was indeed not Guo Hongyao. The shock in his pupils had just emerged. The first thing he did was not to save the injury, nor to block the offensive, or even to open the distance, but to light up the talisman in his hand.

"Boom!"

A dazzling gray-red luster rose, and the thick combined fire turned into pure black in his palm, like a large stone falling into the lake, splashing a sky full of fire, and the seawater on the entire island was instantly drained, and the combined fire wandered, and the sea surface presented a huge hollow semicircle.

This combined fire talisman exploded on the two of them, and the two were instantly submerged in the combined fire. Li Xijun's figure flew backward, bringing out a long gray fire light.

And Guo Hongkang's head had been cut off by Li Xijun, and now under the impact of the combined fire, the head and body were separated, flying separately. The head flew in the air, eyes red, still muttering.

His body stopped in the fire, calmly pinched the magic formula to ride the wind, his long robes fluttering, and he flicked the combined fire away, turning to chase the head.

Guo Hongkang's decision was correct, and this talisman was enough to see his calmness and caution in the face of danger. If he weren't cautious and had the talisman buckled in his hand in advance, where would he have the opportunity to interrupt Li Xijun? If he lacked even a little bit, he would have stepped into Guo Hongyao's footsteps and become a ghost under Li Xijun's sword.

Li Xijun swallowed the fresh blood, stopped his figure in the air, frost and snow magic power surged from his Qihai to resist the combined fire on his body, but this fire was still jumping on him, gray-gray in front of his eyes, unable to see clearly.

"Hurt the eyes..."

He ate such a powerful talisman at such a close distance, only hurting his eyes and cheeks. The combined fire in his body was rising instead of being burned away by the combined fire. He had to thank the magic clothes of Guo Hongyao on his body. He hadn't refined this thing, but it was a magic treasure of the combined fire lineage, and the body could resist the fire somewhat.

Spiritual sense could still be used. Li Xijun spat out a mouthful of fresh blood, let the blood mist in the sky turn into fire and disappear, urged the bright frost at his feet, turned the long sword, and threw out three streams of light.

Guo Hongkang was the caster, and he practiced combined fire himself, so the damage he suffered should be lighter than Li Xijun. Now he had caught the head, but the sword yuan like a thick layer of frost and snow covered the wound on his neck, making it difficult for him to piece together.

"Sword yuan! Li Xijun!"

He was terrified to take out the elixir, but found that three snow-white sword lights were fluttering, and Li Xijun had changed back to his original appearance. The eyes were burned gray-white, and the gray-red combined fire was still flowing on him.

In this short moment, Guo Hongkang realized that he had to stop to repair the opening on his neck, and Li Xijun also had to adjust his breath to remove the combined fire that was poisonous and difficult to entangle in his body. The two had to decide life and death within dozens of rounds! "Guo Hongyao... how is it possible! This is only a quarter of an hour, and it takes time to fly back and forth, so she died in his hands!"

He was terrified, released several talismans to resist, and the other hand combined fire flowed, summoned two gray lights, pinched the magic formula, and scolded: "Hit!"

Instantly, two gray lights crossed the sea surface at an extremely fast speed, and didn't go to block the three sword lights, but smashed straight at Li Xijun, exploding several groups of gray fire around him.

Li Xijun was not afraid at all. A color came out of his sleeve. The 【Chongming Cave Profound Screen】 that he didn't dare to use because he was afraid of exposing his identity was lit up beside him. The mysterious golden screen light covered him, firmly blocking the gray fire. Red Reef Island was not a Jiangnan lineage, and there was no combined fire lineage among the seven people in the Chongming Hall, so the paintings on the screen didn't move, but the 【Chongming Cave Profound Screen】 was an ancient magic treasure after all, and it was more than enough to block his magic spell.

On the other side, Li Xijun's sword light didn't go to block the fire, but went to Guo Hongkang, three agile and cunning sword lights jumped, smashing the magic shield on his body into pieces.

"Fortunately!"

Guo Hongkang stared at the sword light in fear. The distance between Li Xijun and him was not far, and he regarded the other party as a sword cultivator who killed Guo Hongyao in a few rounds. He thought he would be slashed into two pieces by a sword, but now he breathed a sigh of relief, not surprised but happy, secretly saying: "It should be the pain of combined fire, affecting his sword technique!"

This kind of thing is not uncommon. They who practice combined fire are even more familiar with it. Once combined fire is stained, it damages the device and life, and it becomes more fatal with time. The pain is absolutely not what ordinary people can bear.

"This time there is a chance."

Seeing that his magic spell couldn't stop the opponent, letting Li Xijun approach, Guo Hongkang gathered for a long time, and finally summoned a flying needle from the acupoint, presenting a gray-black color, about a finger long, simple and unadorned. Guo Hongkang was overjoyed, drumming his lips and teeth, scolding: "Go!"

Li Xijun, who was already very close, suddenly felt a needle prick in the Shengyang Mansion, his face full of pain and coldness. With a thought, the green light on the screen swayed, scattering a piece of dark green luster: "【Tuoba Zhongyuan】!"

The 【Tuoba Zhongyuan】 of the Chongming Cave Profound Screen is a technique of knocking down, specializing in flying swords and magic light. It immediately captured a black needle in mid-air, forcing it to stop little by little. Li Xijun clearly blocked this black needle, but still spat out a mouthful of blood.

"Puff!"

Even if this black needle didn't fall, it still hooked the combined fire in his body, internal and external attacks, stirring his body into a mess. Li Xijun forced his spirit,

Guo Hongkang stared at the sword light in terror. The distance between Li Xijun and him was not far, and he had mistaken the opponent for a sword cultivator who could kill Guo Hongyao within a few exchanges. He had thought he would be cut in two, person and shield alike, by a single sword strike. Now, he let out a long breath, not alarmed but delighted, secretly thinking: "It must be the burning pain of the combined fire affecting his sword technique!"

Such things were not uncommon; those of them who cultivated combined fire were even more familiar with it. Once combined fire contaminated one, it damaged both weapon and life, becoming more fatal as time passed, and the pain was certainly something no ordinary person could endure.

"Now there is a chance."

Seeing that his own spells could not stop the opponent and letting Li Xijun move forward, Guo Hongkang, having gathered his strength for a long time, finally summoned a flying needle from his acupoints. It appeared gray-black, about a finger long, and plain without any ornamentation. Yet Guo Hongkang was overjoyed, moving his lips and teeth, and shouted: "Go!"

Li Xijun, on the opposite side, had already closed in extremely near. He suddenly felt as if needles were pricking his Shengyang Zifu, his face full of pain and coldness. With a thought, the green light on the screen swayed, scattering a piece of dark cyan brilliance: "【Tuoba Zhongyuan】!"

The 【Tuoba Zhongyuan】 of the Chongming Dongxuan Screen was a technique for knocking down, specializing in dealing with flying swords and magic light. It immediately captured a black needle in mid-air, forcing it to stop bit by bit in the air. Although Li Xijun had blocked the black needle, he still spat out a mouthful of blood.

"Pfft!"

Even if this black needle did not fall, it still stirred the combined fire within his body. Attacked from both inside and outside, it left his insides in a mess. Li Xijun forced himself to keep his spirits up, operating 【Bright Frost Pine Ridge】 to cast the pain and emotions out of his mind. The long sword in his hand lit up inch by inch, and he closed in several steps in a row.

"Damn it!"

Seeing this sword cultivator approach again and his own highly anticipated magic tool useless, Guo Hongkang was terrified. The flames in his hands did not stop, but he discovered the sky full of heavy snow, with pieces of goose-feather-like sword Qi falling on his body, as if thousands of steel knives were passing through his body, causing him to let out a series of miserable howls.

"Autumn Moon Listening to Harmony!"

Guo Hongkang only felt a shattering sound in his ears, and those three streams of sword Qi light disappeared. There were bursts of coldness in his Shengyang Zifu. How could he have the protection of a Foundation Establishment magic robe? His body instantly turned into a piece of minced meat, transforming into bursts of fire rain in mid-air.

That black jade box fell down and was captured by Li Xijun in mid-air. His heart was jumping with combined fire, so he only tucked the jade box into his bosom and drove the wind to gallop away into the distance.

Although his combined fire had not been removed and he could not use his pupil technique for a while, he had long since deduced: "This place is very close to Xifeng Island; someone will definitely come looking! Leave quickly!"

Profound Peak Gate.

On the main peak of Profound Peak, Yuexi Peak, clouds and mist swirled, and music echoed. The True Person in the main seat wore cloth clothes, his white hair lustrous as jade, hanging down. He raised his brows to look to the side and smiled:

"Fellow Daoist Junjian?"

A man in black sat in the guest seat to the side, frowning slightly, with some coldness between his delicate brows, only looking at the clouds and mist on the peak. Being pointed out by this True Person, he replied: "I naturally do not have the Bright Yang spiritual objects here..."

After saying this, he pushed the white jade cup in front of him, raised his brows to look at the Changxi True Person in the upper seat, and saw the old True Person say softly:

"Senior Chang Xiao was busy cleaning up the mess for Chengyan earlier... restricted everywhere. At this time, he will not strike at will. Although Yushui does not have the Life Guo Shentong, True Persons Hengxing and Kuangyu strike together... The two of them use the Life Guo Shentong to cover, and Senior Chang Xiao cannot calculate it. This move is beyond saving."

Tu Longjian shook his head gently and replied:

"The junior thinks it is not simple. Senior Chang Xiao is a master at playing with fate. It is still too early to draw a conclusion at this time."

The young man raised his brows slightly, turned to look at Changxi, and replied:

"Everyone is happy to see it happen. Red Reef Island also wants the 【Six Dings Tianwu Tianwu Binghuo Token】 in the junior's hands. Even True Person Xiao has gone to the North Sea. This matter is pushed back and forth, and in the end, it is forced to my front, forcing me to confront Red Reef Island."

True Person Changxi's full head of white hair was crystalline, and he said warmly:

"It was already like this. You don't want to stand on any side, but they will also force you to stand. If you want to stay out of it, you can only be alone."

Tu Longjian stood up, looked quietly at the old man in front of him, and said softly:

"Thank you, senior, for your guidance. But Red Reef Island struck first this time. Either Tianwan did it intentionally, or the divine ability was not enough. Neither side is reasonable. There is no reason for Tu Long not to go."

"You, Tu Longjian, will only go if it is unreasonable! Otherwise, why would you send Guo Hongyao?"

True Person Changxi looked at him deeply and sighed:

"The Li family are smart people. Now that they are deep in the East Sea, it may not be that they are relying on your kindness. The world is bustling, and the Zifu drives the divine ability on their body. If they are completely righteous, they will end up like Donghua."

Tu Longjian laughed loudly, fiddling with a small golden hammer in his hand, only the size of a palm, exquisite and cute. The Grand Void in front of him opened, and he stepped inside, leaving only one sentence:

"It is enough that I have a clear conscience."
