Li Yi’s guess was spot on.
Whether it was Taixian Weng or the other Nascent Soul cultivators, all of them were eyeing the Xuanhuang Seal in Li Yi’s hand with greed. However, as long as Chongxu Taoist lived, involving the Purple Qi Palace was unavoidable. But now that Chongxu Taoist was dead, things were different. Anyone could cloak their greed under the banner of avenging the Xuanxian Continent and attack Li Yi, forcibly seizing the treasure.
"Li Yi, you Demon! How dare you cruelly murder Chongxu Daoist? Don’t be so arrogant! Do you dare duel in spell combat without magic treasures? To the death!" Imdiately, a Nascent Soul cultivator couldn’t hold back and bellowed.
As long as he killed Li Yi,
everything on him, including that Xuanhuang Seal, would be his. Such an enormous opportunity—how could anyone restrain themselves?
And since Li Yi was already facing certain death today, not fighting for it would be utterly foolish for any Nascent Soul cultivator.
Originally, this man called Chenyangzi did not hold much hope. After all, there were indeed many Nascent Soul experts present, and truly winning the treasure would be quite difficult.
Unexpectedly, Li Yi’s silver vertical pupils flashed briefly, locking onto him. "All right, spell combat without magic treasures, is it? As you wish. However, the people of Xuanxian Continent are innately crafty and utterly untrustworthy. Who knows how many might secretly intervene? That old thing Taixian Weng from earlier is the perfect example."
"If anyone aids you during this duel, it will be nothing less than an insult to the Dan Ding Sect, as if we have no one!"
The Nascent Soul cultivator known as Chenyangzi shouted sternly, invoking his sect to suppress the others.
Taixian Weng rely cast a glance and then restored his earlier kindly deanor, saying with a smile, "Li Yi, you duel Chenyangzi, and I, the old man, will not interfere. But the premise is that you must not break the rules by using magic treasures."
The other Nascent Soul cultivators remained silent, their eyes not on Li Yi but on Chenyangzi, their expressions unfriendly.
They seed quite displeased at this guy for jumping ahead.
"Enough nonsense—kill him!"
At that mont, Li Yi roared, golden clouds rising beneath his feet. In an instant, his entire body transford into a streak of red light, charging straight at Chenyangzi.
Such astonishing speed!
Chenyangzi’s face instantly darkened. He realized he had underestimated this Li Yi. Even without the Xuanhuang Seal, that earlier Fire-spitting Technique alone was enough to rival a Nascent Soul cultivator. Coupled with this terrifying Flying Technique, it would indeed be extrely difficult for an ordinary Nascent Soul cultivator to take him down without magic treasures.
But...
At this mont, Chenyangzi let out a long howl. Blood light burst from his entire body, and in a flicker, he vanished from where he stood, moving so fast it was shocking. He instantly soared into the sky, rapidly gaining distance.
"The Blood Escape Technique!" Upon seeing this, Yuan Ye, Li Chengyu, and the other Nascent Soul cultivators’ eyelids twitched violently.
Blood Escape right at the start?
Was Chenyangzi insane? Or was he so determined to ensure Li Yi’s death that he had thrown all caution to the wind?
Red cloud-light and that streak of blood crossed and chased each other across the sky, their movents almost imperceptible.
"Such speed—my Divine Sense can’t even catch up!"
On the Flying Boat, the Foundation Establishnt cultivators seed to have been entirely disqualified from even spectating—none of them could track the movents of the two combatants.
The Golden Core Cultivators deeply furrowed their brows, clearly sensing Li Yi’s overwhelming strength.
Those dozen Daoists who were killed in one breath earlier—it was truly a fate not undeserved.
"Finish this quickly." At this mont, Chenyangzi risked damaging his foundation and used the Blood Escape Technique—not to flee, but to absolutely ensure Li Yi’s death.
As long as he succeeded,
any losses could be compensated later.
"Heavens’ Fire Great thod, rise!"
Seeing Li Yi closing in, Chenyangzi deed the timing perfect. He abruptly shouted, pouring every ounce of mana from his body without holding back. Flas instantly ignited around him—a tri-colored fire interwoven to form what appeared to be a divine bottle.
Within the bottle was an unimaginably scorching furnace, now drawing everything into its depths, aiming to incinerate Li Yi to ash without leaving a single trace.
At that mont, Li Yi’s very soul was alard. Sensing the imminent danger, he reversed his direction with the Cloud Soaring Technique.
"Trying to run now? Too late!"
Chenyangzi roared, his eyes brimming with fiery intensity and madness. As he recklessly expended his mana, the furnace-shaped bottle ford by the Heavens’ Fire Great thod seed capable of swallowing the entire sky. Winds raged backward, clouds reversed their flow—everything was being sucked into the furnace.
"A re parlor trick—this can kill ?"
But Li Yi’s body abruptly dispersed, dissolving into a dense mist that scattered across the air.
"What?!"
Chenyangzi’s face shifted dramatically. He had suddenly lost his target. His Divine Sense scanned the mist yet couldn’t pinpoint Li Yi’s position, as if the latter had vanished into thin air.
No ti to think.
Chenyangzi activated his spell, attempting to absorb the mist completely to force Li Yi to reveal himself.
But at the very next mont,
from one corner of the sky, the mist condensed into a cloud. From within the cloud of crimson light, Li Yi erged once more. This ti, brilliance shone at his fingertips as the forces of heaven and earth converged into a single point. In that mont, a stroke of enlightennt graced him, and the Primordial Spirit Flower belonging to Xiang Xiangzi blossod within his spirit, imparting upon him so profound insights into spellcasting.
In the blink of an eye, he extended his second finger.
Another beam of dazzling radiance took form.
"Dividing River into Land!" Li Yi bellowed, pointing his sword-like fingers toward Chenyangzi.
"You think I’d fear you?!" Chenyangzi commanded his Heavens’ Fire Great thod. The divine furnace surged toward Li Yi, seeking to determine victory or defeat in a single strike.
