Chapter 88 Life Hangs by a Thread, Is There Another Expert?
The words fell.
Cheng Yuanliang suddenly darted out, showing no mercy, and struck Li Wudao with a heavy palm.
"Om-"
A violent aura emanated from him; even before he arrived, his oppressive presence had already locked onto the boy.
At this moment, Li Wudao felt as if his legs were filled with lead, making it difficult to straighten his back. Even his double pupils could not help him; he could only watch helplessly, unable to escape.
"We just have to fight!"
Seeing the terrifying palm shadow rushing towards him, Li Wudao gritted his teeth and flicked his fingers, swinging his sword several times in succession.
next moment,
Five golden sword energies, wrapped in blazing rainbow light, shot out.
"Chichi-"
The scorching heat was like boiling magma, turning half the sky red, like a blood-stained setting sun.
"boom!"
With a muffled thud, a sword aura cleaved the palm shadow in mid-air, dissipating as it did so, leaving behind layers of heat waves that swept in all directions.
The remaining four sword energies struck straight at the heart of the enemy, their momentum as powerful as a rainbow, their brilliance no less than that of the setting sun.
"What, this..."
Upon seeing this, Cheng Yuanliang's expression changed drastically.
He used 70% of his strength in that palm strike, which would have been more than enough to kill a mid-stage Martial King, but it was actually neutralized by a sword aura.
The Pure Yang Sword Intent was even stronger than he had expected, which surprised him.
Li Wudao is only at the True Yuan Realm now. If he were to fight someone at the same level, that sword strike would probably kill him instantly!
At that moment, a chill ran down his spine, and fear arose involuntarily.
This young man is truly extraordinary, far more powerful than the imperial sons and divine sons recorded in ancient texts and legends, and comparable to the great emperors of antiquity.
He had no doubt that if Li Wudao were to attain the Dao and become an emperor, he would be no less powerful than the most powerful emperors in history, and would probably even make those forbidden zones of life bow down to him.
"call out--"
Seeing the four sword energies that were faster than arrows, Cheng Yuanliang felt as if he were facing a formidable enemy and dared not take any risks. He directly activated the Soul-Capturing Bell to block them.
The bell flashed with black light, and with a flick of the wind, it transformed into a large clock, spinning continuously, blocking the way.
"Dangdang——"
The four sword energies struck the bell, resounding like a morning bell and evening drum, creating terrifying turbulence. Within a radius of a hundred meters, vegetation collapsed, and everything was affected by the residual force.
The people in the middle of the scene were not spared either, feeling a ringing in their ears and an intense stinging pain.
The two masked old men were at least late-stage Martial Kings, so their reaction wasn't too strong; they simply stood there, their faces somewhat grim.
Jiang Churan was not in such good condition. She was blasted more than ten meters away, her pretty face was completely bloodless, and her internal energy was somewhat disordered.
She stood up unsteadily, staring in astonishment at Li Wudao's tall figure.
The latter's combat power once again refreshed her understanding. A sixteen or seventeen-year-old boy could actually fight against a Martial King at the peak of his cultivation?!
Such brilliance is no less than that of the heirs of holy lands and imperial families; he already possesses the qualities to become an emperor!
The girl's beautiful eyes sparkled with a strange light. To be honest, even with her current talent, she might not be able to compare to Li Wudao.
Perhaps, only after fusing with that drop of the Peacock King's true blood and fully awakening the Azure Phoenix bloodline can they be compared to each other.
However, although the Pure Yang Holy Body is a superior holy body, her Azure Phoenix bloodline is in no way inferior and has even greater potential. Her ancestors once produced a powerful figure above the Emperor Realm.
Just then, a dramatic change occurred in mid-air.
"Boom!"
The four pure yang sword energies were like golden dragons, charging and crashing, causing the Soul-Seizing Bell to rumble and retreat continuously.
However, the Soul-Capturing Bell was ultimately a royal-grade treasure, and its wielder was a Martial King at the peak of his power, so it was still impossible to harm it.
After a few breaths,
As the ghost-faced bell spun faster, wisps of black energy emanated from it, gradually weakening the brilliance of the Pure Yang Sword Qi until it was completely swallowed up by the black energy.
"So it still doesn't work..."
Li Wudao felt weak all over and listlessly raised his head.
This was the best he could do at the moment; the true essence filling his dantian was almost completely drained in an instant.
He sighed inwardly, realizing that the difference in their cultivation levels was simply too great.
Even with King Wu at his peak and using all his strength, he had absolutely no chance of winning; it was no different from an ant trying to shake a tree.
In mid-air, Cheng Yuanliang put away the Soul-Capturing Bell, glanced around, and felt a slight chill in his heart.
At this moment, the surface of the bell was dented in several places, pitted and uneven, which was very noticeable.
"this........"
He was both shocked and furious. It was hard for him to accept that an ant at the True Essence Realm could damage a royal-grade treasure.
"Young man, I must say, your talent and combat prowess are truly monstrous. If you don't die young, you will definitely be no less than the patriarch of a holy land in the future..."
Cheng Yuanliang's eyes flashed with a cold light, and a bloodthirsty sneer appeared on his lips, "But unfortunately, the more stunning you are, the more you are destined to die!"
Since we've already offended them, we absolutely cannot let them go. Even if we have to chase them to the ends of the earth, we must eliminate them completely!
"Alright, you two should get going now."
He spoke coldly, then darted forward, not intending to give the two a chance to escape.
"what to do........"
Li Wudao's heart sank to the bottom, his palms sweated, and he tightly gripped a large teleportation talisman.
There's no way we can win in a fight, so we can only try to escape.
However, there is a crucial problem: even if he manages to escape this time, he will still be intercepted and will ultimately face death.
Sensing the overwhelming killing intent, Jiang Churan's expression was resolute. She stood shoulder to shoulder with the young man, prepared to die in battle.
Just when their lives hung by a thread,
Not far in the distance, a flying boat rushed out, and seven people leaped out quickly.
These people could all fly through the air, all dressed in black belted clothes, with lean figures, wearing black cloaks, with a long sword hanging at their waists, exuding a cold aura, and their eyes were devoid of any emotion.
"They're all King Wu..."
Looking at the men in black in mid-air, Li Wudao felt a chill run down his spine.
He thought that the three Martial Kings were already being very lenient by chasing after the two of them, but he never expected that there were even more experts.
This is truly the end for us; there's no escape now.
However, to his surprise...
The group of men in black merely glanced at him before turning around and charging towards Cheng Yuanliang and his two companions.
Before long, the two groups started fighting. The terrifying aura rippled like a tidal wave, inspiring awe in all who beheld it.
"what's the situation?"
Li Wudao and Jiang Churan were both stunned, completely puzzled.
Aren't they on the same side? Why are they fighting amongst themselves?
"This is going to be good! Let's start fighting! Let's start fighting!"
Li Wudao breathed a sigh of relief and, without thinking twice, directly fanned the flames.
Only when they start fighting will he and Xiao Jiang have a chance to escape.
Ideally, the fight should end in mutual destruction, which would be a permanent solution and increase the chances of survival.
at this time,
The leader of the men in black suddenly turned around, looked at the two of them, and said in a deep voice:
"Young master, young lady, you must leave quickly! These people are quite strong, and we are not confident of defeating them. We can only do our best to cover your retreat!"
Upon hearing this, Li Wudao and Jiang Churan looked at each other with puzzled expressions.
"Is this your person?"
The girl raised an eyebrow, her tone somewhat surprised.
"I was about to ask that too, isn't this one of yours?"
Li Wudao remained silent, quite puzzled.
That shouldn't be the case; he doesn't have any connections or background.
His cheap father was only at the Martial Grandmaster level, and his combat strength was not as strong as his. It was impossible for him to command the seven Martial Kings.
"Could it be those people from the clan..."
Upon hearing this, Jiang Churan showed a thoughtful expression.
"That doesn't make sense. This is the Eastern Wilderness, and according to the timeline of my previous life, my clan shouldn't have discovered me yet..."
She thought about it over and over, but something still felt off.
"Ding--"
Suddenly, the demonic sound of the Soul-Capturing Bell resounded, and the seven men in black trembled slightly, their breathing becoming disordered.
next moment,
Seizing the opportunity, Cheng Yuanliang suddenly threw a punch, sending one of the men in black flying, coughing up blood, and dying in mid-air!
see,
Li Wudao was startled and quickly activated the Great Teleportation Talisman, taking Jiang Churan with him and fleeing far away.
Although these men in black were all Martial Kings, their cultivation levels were generally low, only at the early to mid-stages. They had little chance of winning against Cheng Yuanliang and his two companions.
Especially since that bald guy has a demonic artifact like the Soul-Capturing Bell, which is enough to interfere with the flow of true energy in the human body, with the balance shifting, he definitely won't last long.
With both sides locked in a fierce battle, when else would we leave if not now?
.......
A short while later, the two appeared on an official road.
Not far away, wisps of smoke rose from the trees, and a few figures appeared sporadically; a city could be seen in the twilight.
"That's Fenhe City. If you travel another three hundred li, you'll reach Feiyan Gate."
Jiang Churan pointed to the city gate in the distance, a hint of joy on her face, and quickened her pace.
The Flying Swallow Sect is a subordinate force of the Profound Heaven Sect, and the two sects have always had a good relationship.
Once we reach the Flying Swallow Gate, we can borrow a flying artifact and return to the Xuantian Sect as soon as possible.
After walking a dozen steps,
The girl seemed to notice something, turned around and found Li Wudao still standing there, so she urged him, "What are you standing there for? Hurry up and go!"
Li Wudao looked thoughtful, glanced at her, and remained silent for a moment.
He immediately stepped forward and placed a large teleportation talisman into the girl's palm.
"What do you mean?"
Jiang Churan frowned, a bad feeling rising in her heart.
"We'll split up; that way, we'll have a better chance of survival."
"No, Cheng Yuanliang will definitely kill you first!"
“Listen to me, I won’t die in vain. If this drags on, none of us will survive. You should know that those men in black won’t last long.”
"But........"
The two argued for a long time, and neither could convince the other.
"This is a dead end. The only way to survive is to split up. Only if you send the message back to the sect can you deter Cheng Yuanliang and the others."
Li Wudao sighed and coaxed, "I still have a Great Teleportation Talisman, which can hold out for a while longer. As long as I'm quick-witted, I'll be fine..."
After a long pause, Jiang Churan bit her red lips and nodded with difficulty.
The Flying Swallow Sect is only a second-rate sect, and its sect leader's strength is only at the Martial King realm.
Even if she produces her identity token, the Flying Swallow Sect might not accept it. At most, they would send a few elders to escort her. How could they possibly be a match for Cheng Yuanliang?
"gone."
Li Wudao forced a smile and took a deep breath.
Without further hesitation, he crushed a large teleportation talisman and left in the opposite direction.
Watching the boy's figure disappear,
Jiang Churan stood frozen in place, her eyes filled with worry, and murmured, "You must come back alive..."
next moment,
She snapped out of her daze, her face grave, and sped toward the city gate, blending into the dim twilight.
