Chapter 755: Gradually into the Mist

Wangyue Lake. A black shadow flashed past. A man in black robes galloped with the wind, draped in a black cloak like feathers, leaving behind cold traces on the ground, dropping gray mist all over the ground.

This garment was tied with pieces and strings of feathers, about a foot long. The black long hair at the tail was colorful and brilliant, vaguely transforming into colors, bolstering this man, making his speed increasingly fast.

To put it bluntly, the 【Upper Feather Night Cloak】 was the best magic garment the Li family had ever seen. Li Li Xizhi had racked his brains to find it. Among the cultivators below the Early Zifu in Jiangnan, it would be difficult to find a better magic garment.

And the two-finger-long black jade he held in his hand was unremarkable, seemingly just a piece of impure jade. However, Li Li Chenghuai knew that this 【Night Ghost Secret Talisman】 was even more extraordinary.

The Li family members only knew that the 【Night Ghost Secret Talisman】 could summon Foundation Establishment combat power, but Li Li Chenghuai understood that this thing was a genuine ancient magic tool, and it was far from just summoning night ghosts. It could exert more effects; it was just that his cultivation base was insufficient.

Soon, the many sceneries of Funan manifested before his eyes. Flames were raging in the sky, red and white intertwined. Li Li Chenghuai increased his speed, rode the wind and rose, his figure fading like water.

Li Li Minggong was holding a lamp and standing in the void, spiritual fire rolling, blocking Guan Guan Lingdie. Miaoshui, the White Ape, and even Qu Qu Bushi were all fighting in the void. Because they were outnumbered, several people were pale-faced and quite embarrassed.

"Elder brother is not here..."

Li Li Chenghuai pondered slightly. Li Cheng must have gone to rescue Ding Ding Weijian. He took out the black jade from his sleeve, held it in his hand, and flicked it lightly.

Immediately, a gale rose in the void, and points of Yin Qi swirled. Black color danced in the void, and a robust night fork with horns on its forehead drilled out from it, waving a black-Qi long fork and killing into the Duxian Dao.

This night fork was not weak, transforming into black Qi and falling into the crowd of cultivators. First, it rippled a patch of Yin cold Qi, interrupting the magic arts of a group of cultivators, and then waved the long fork, immediately causing the Duxian Dao formation to fall into chaos.

He himself manifested in the shadows beside Guan Guan Lingdie, drew his sword, and picked out a patch of bright white sword light as large as a ship's sail.

Guan Guan Lingdie was slightly startled, her figure immediately scattered like smoke. Li Li Chenghuai shook his robes, his figure vanished, but he heard a soft sound in his ears: "Little brother, don't be too fierce!"

Li Li Chenghuai could naturally recognize his elder sister Li Li Minggong's voice. Although he was surprised and shocked, his hands reacted extremely quickly. He slowed down by half a beat, the sword light missed in the void, and he transmitted his voice: "This is..."

Li Li Minggong had long had a guess and replied quite concisely: "Duxian Dao is only making a gesture. The purpose is to destroy Brother Xuan Yue's foundation... Up to now, there is no need to fight them to the death. Just deal with it peacefully."

Li Li Chenghuai immediately realized. He operated his sword to fight. His magic arts and sword arts were both solid. He attacked repeatedly. Guan Guan Lingdie fought one against two, and also retreated smoothly, not pressing too hard.

Guan Guan Lingdie was more formidable. Even if she held the intention of sparring, she had been suppressing Li Li Minggong just now. Now that Li Li Minggong finally had time, Duxian Dao's attitude combined with the words of Senior Tinglan True Person surged into her heart. Only then did she have time to ponder:

'Since... in the final analysis, it is not Duxian Dao, but Chang Xiao who wants to harm my family... Is chasing our family's True Person into the sea the only plan of this True Person?'

She injected magic power into the magic tool 【Six-Corner Red Flame Lamp】 in her hand, and the red-white velvet of the 【Pure Feather Li Fire】 rolled over along with the flames:

'Listening to Senior Tinglan True Person's meaning... I fear Chang Xiao also hasn't returned... But if he had arranged plans early, plotting my family's things... wouldn't the manifestation be at the present moment?'

'If so, that True Person who pretended to be Sumian is very likely another Early Zifu of Chang Xiao Sect, Cheng Yan True Person!'

For some reason, Cheng Yan True Person had never gone into seclusion, but now that things had reached this point, it was not unreasonable for him to appear. Li Li Minggong's heart slowly tightened:

"What did Chang Xiao True Person tell Cheng Yan... This True Person came to inquire about news. There must be action at the moment!"

She seemed to be in a fog, unable to see anything clearly:

"Is guarding Funan right or wrong? But even if this place is abandoned and we retreat to the North Bank, as long as the True Person does not return for a day, will there be a day of peace? It's just changing to the North Bank to invite calculation!"

Funan.

The sky was gloomy, the gale rose, golden light swirled, and thunder rumbled.

Li Li Chenghuai stood on the top of the mountain, holding his spear horizontally, standing on the thunder. The thunder in the sky hung down, hitting him one after another, condensing into a waterfall of thunder rain, pouring down with a splash.

He rode the thunder and came, catching them off guard, descending from the sky with the Six-Thunder Profound Penalty Order, hitting a Tengjin guest official with nine consecutive thunder lights, rescuing Ding Ding Weijian. At the moment, excluding Situ Mo, the remaining five Foundation Establishment cultivators of Tengjin Sect now had three left, surrounding Situ Biao, resisting Ding Ding Weijian.

Li Li Chenghuai was also fighting Situ Mo for the first time. Although he did not have an advantage in lineage, he won by restraining the Tengjin Sect with magic tools. Together with Ding Ding Weijian, they also suppressed the crowd.

At the moment, he beckoned, and the six thunder penalty orders immediately circled around his wrist, silver-white radiance rippling, gushing out:

"Yang is the ultimate sigh, then gives birth to six thunders!"

Immediately, there was a bright white patch. The six narrow and elegant tokens flashed together, the talisman scripts lit up one by one. Situ Mo on the opposite side threw out a golden shield with a wave of his hand:

"Boom—!"

Rolling black smoke surged up. Fortunately, the golden shield was not some blood-Qi item, and it supported it properly. Situ Mo, however, immediately drew his sword, clanging to block the thunder spear in the black smoke.

"Clang, clang, clang..."

Li Li Chenghuai danced the thunder spear, suppressing the Tengjin Sect Master before his eyes with every move, his expression not relaxed at all.

"This Situ Mo... what exactly does he mean..."

It was too strange... This Situ Mo's level was simply not the level of a Tengjin Sect Master!

One must know that Situ Mo was a veteran Foundation Establishment cultivator who had long ago begun to practice secret methods. Even if the 【Tuoba Chongyuan Cave Profound Screen】 in the sky suppressed his golden needles and golden knives, he was by no means a character who was easy to deal with!

Li Li Chenghuai's gaze was deep, looking at the Tengjin Sect Master before him. The Tengjin Sect Master seemed somewhat trance-like. His own sister said that Situ Mo was 'cunning, insidious, and poisonous'. Now he seemed to be just a silent cultivator.

Ding Ding Weijian was already uneasy in his heart. He had contacted Situ Mo many times and had fought with him. He was very familiar with him. Situ Mo's pupils, which should have been filled with insidiousness and treachery, had completely changed, instead manifesting a silent calmness, making Ding Ding Weijian feel great unease.

He secretly transmitted his voice:

'Cheng Master, this person is afraid he has a plan...'

Li Li Chenghuai doubted: "You all said he was cunning and fickle, hard to fathom. If he has a plan, why show this appearance, pointlessly increasing suspicion?"

Compared to the secret suspicion of the two Li family members, Situ Mo only rode the golden light, stepped through the wind, and faced the full-sky thunder light. He operated his magic power, and the copper-cyan screen in the sky shone down, fixing his two magic tools in the void, unable to move.

Situ Mo could only pinch the formula with his hands, releasing radiance to welcome the thunder, fighting in a suffocating and tasteless manner. His face, however, had no expression, silently resisting.

Situ Mo had fought with the Li family for so many years, always hesitating on the edge of the rules. Back then on Jindou Island, Li Li Xuanfeng was waiting in the sea with a bow, and Situ Mo was shrinking on the island, unable to move. To be fair, the panic at that time was not as good as today.

Situ Mo received three flying letters when he set off today, all flying from the Grand Void. Two letters asked him to kill Li Li Chenghuai, and one letter asked him to kill Ding Ding Weijian, forcing Li Li Zhouwei to appear.

Along with the letters, there was also a gray rope, painted with mountain and river patterns, golden edges and white halos, and a purple talisman, the divine ability hazy, making a purple water rippling brilliance, icy cold to the touch, piercing straight into the bottom of his heart.

【Mountain-Darkness Moving-Mountain Rope】! He was too familiar with this thing, having read about it too many times in books. This thing was the proud magic treasure of his own True Person Situ Huo. A Early Zifu-level magic treasure. Situ Huo was exiled overseas, life and death unknown, and it was rumored that he was heavily injured by the elements, broken an arm, and never dared to return to the sea again. Why did he have to wade into this muddy water? What necessity did he have to wade into this muddy water?

He had fought with the Li family for so many years, always hesitating on the edge of the rules. Back then on Jindou Island, Li Li Xuanfeng was waiting in the sea with a bow, and Situ Mo was shrinking on the island, unable to move. To be fair, the panic at that time was not as good as today.

'Now, the only one who can kill, and can kill the Li family's main lineage within the rules, is me alone.'

The Li family's reliance was Li Li Ximing outside. The Situ family's survival also relied on Situ Huo outside. At this moment, no one was more suitable than Situ Mo to do this. The grievances were not shallow, and the background was also a Early Zifu descendant, also a hot potato, hard to dip and hard to throw... The only difference was that Situ Huo did not value Tengjin.

The golden-armored man just stood coldly, superficially beaten until he couldn't break free, but in his heart, he was like holding an icy, bone-eroding sharp knife, hesitating without moving.

Yes, his Tengjin Sect had a Early Zifu array, but what was the use of this array? The array disc was suppressed by divine ability, unable to move. Not only did Jin Yu Sect have the array-opening jade talisman, but Mount Qingchi and Xiuyue sects also had it. This Early Zifu array, no matter how good, could not protect his Situ Mo!

This Early Zifu magic treasure appeared. If he killed Li Li Chenghuai, I fear Jin Yu Sect True Person would hear the news and come. First, kill him, Situ Mo, to appease the Li family's heart, and second, seize the 【Mountain-Darkness Moving-Mountain Rope】 for his own use. Where would there be any pity!

"But if I don't kill this person, take the things of two Early Zifu, and violate the orders of three Early Zifu, who in the world can tolerate me?"

Situ Mo had once thought of sending the 【Mountain-Darkness Moving-Mountain Rope】 to Jin Yu to seek survival in the cracks, but he understood at this critical moment that the situation on Tengdao Mountain would fall into Jin Yu Sect's eyes. Being so silent, the attitude was already very clear: "True Person Zhang Qiushui has been in seclusion in recent years, and True Person Tianhuo has come out of seclusion to hold Jin Yu's affairs... This True Person has already acquiesced... and even... one of the letters might be his decree!"

He, Situ Mo, was after all Jin Yu's dog. If Jin Yu hadn't acquiesced, who would dare to act presumptuously!

Situ Mo tightly gripped the magic treasure in his sleeve. Time passed second by second, as if his life was also passing away with time toward the end... This man finally lifted his sleeves and said in a low voice: "Li Li Chenghuai!"

The man on the opposite side glanced over. Those pupils were as eye-catching as dots of ink, thunder moving, swimming along his robes. Situ Mo looked at him somewhat distractedly, his teeth biting until they creaked.

'Only one path to survival... only one path to survival...'

Li Li Chenghuai also looked at the man before him. Situ Mo's golden robes rolled in the wind, releasing various kinds of gold. The man's emotions were too agitated, revealing teeth that were white and sharp, his whole body instead shrinking like a hunchback, emitting a burst of strange sounds.

'Gold is in Gengxin, high reputation and wide majesty, earth becomes mountains and peaks, upright nature does not move, as a fierce thing, receiving this restraint...'

Li Li Chenghuai realized something was wrong. He retreated a step, discovering that the man before him suddenly raised his head, emitting a roaring sound: "Tai!"

The time before his eyes seemed to slow down. Li Li Chenghuai clearly saw a gray rope drilling out from his sleeve, painted with overlapping mountain and river patterns, golden edges, white halos, and everything before his eyes suddenly darkened.

"Boom!"

The 【Tuoba Chongyuan Cave Profound Screen】 in the sky seemed to have suffered a violent impact, emitting a dull, loud sound, shooting out like an arrow from a bow. Large patches of golden needles pressed down, and the fish-like sharp knives also popped out. The ears were full of shrill whistles.

Li Cheng realized something was wrong. He stepped back and saw the man in front of him suddenly raise his head, letting out a roar-like cry: "Tai!"

"Magic treasure!"

Li Li Chenghuai's mind was full of warning signs, but this magic treasure had already attacked like a wind, as if it had transformed into a nimble snake, jumping onto the long spear in his hand.

Li Li Chenghuai was one of the top figures in the Li family, and the spear he held also used a Foundation Establishment magic tool, but it was just a standard magic tool, far inferior to Li Li Qinghong's 【Du Ruo】. Even if he were holding 【Du Ruo】, it would not be much better when facing a magic treasure.

Only hearing a clatter, the thunder on the long spear dissipated, the magic power dissipated, and it was tied tightly by the gray rope. With a flick and a sweep, it was also swept to the ground.

But just this instant, Li Li Chenghuai had already summoned an ancient bronze mirror magic tool from his sleeve. It was the size of a palm, with two rings carved with several kinds of beasts running, and the patterns were gorgeous.

【Copper Wings Bright White】! This mirror magic tool was obtained from Duxian Dao. Although the appearance was gorgeous, the grade was not high. It was more powerful than that long spear. It jumped lightly and hit the gray rope, only hearing a crisp and loud 'clang'. The mirror flew backward, emitting a painful creaking sound.

These magic tools' obstruction was not useless. Ding Ding Weijian was close at hand, and he had already swung his staff at the gray rope. Li Li Chenghuai also fought for enough time. At the moment, he opened his mouth and drew a point of white from the thunder pool.

"【Purple Talisman Yuan Light Secret Method】!" ===== CHAPTER 756 =====

But just at this moment, Li Cheng had already summoned an ancient bronze mirror magic treasure from his sleeve. It was the size of a palm, with several kinds of beasts galloping engraved on the two rings, and the patterns were gorgeous.

【Copper Wing Bright White】! This mirror magic treasure was obtained from the Du Xiao Xian Dao. Although it looked gorgeous, its grade was not high, and it was more powerful than that long spear. With a light jump, it hit the gray rope, only hearing a crisp and loud "Clang", the mirror flew backward, making a painful creaking sound.

The blocking of these magic treasures was not useless. Ding Weizeng was close at hand and had already swung his stick. Li Cheng also fought for enough time. At this moment, he immediately opened his mouth and drew a point of white from the thunder pool.

"【Purple Talisman Yuan Light Secret Method】!"
