Chapter 157: Chapter 152: We Can Still Strive For Life_1

Just when Li Xuan and the others were in danger, Jiang Hanyun was in the middle of crossing the river.

Due to the urgency in Yue Qianqian’s flying talisman message, Jiang Hanyun didn’t dare to delay for a moment. As soon as she received the talisman, she rushed in the direction of Yangzhou.

She hovered three yards in the air, stepping on the void to move. Her body was as fast as a flash of thunder, and within less than a quarter of an hour, she had already neared Zhenjiang. Then she turned north and traversed the thousand-yards-wide river surface.

However, just as Jiang Hanyun reached the middle of the river, a giant Kun Shark suddenly leaped out of the water and lunged at her.

Jiang Hanyun’s eyes turned cold, but she didn’t dodge or evade. She simply punched down. With a thunderous boom, a huge wave was set off on the river’s surface.

The enormous Kun Shark, nearly thirty yards long, was actually overpowered by the unsuspecting Jiang Hanyun. After a frightful roar, it transformed into a large black eagle and moved aside.

Jiang Hanyun, with a stern face, focused on the Black Wing Eagle. Her right hand already reached for the saber at her waist. Just as she was about to strike, a blazing sun suddenly fell from the sky.

In reality, it was a golden wheel, spinning fast and emitting a golden light.

Jiang Hanyun had no choice but to temporarily let the Black Wing Eagle go. She swung her blade back, her tremendous power and thunder dispersing the golden wheel into three parts, exploding into three crescent moon blades, and shooting off into the distance.

At this point, a figure of a woman dressed in palace clothes landed on one of the crescent blades, watched Jiang Hanyun with cold and solemn eyes. "As expected of the Iron-blooded Shura! Your extraordinary talent is indeed rare in this world."

Jiang Hanyun didn’t have the patience to waste time with her; she knew something must’ve happened to Li Xuan. Any delay at this moment could endanger the lives of Li Xuan’s group.

But before Jiang Hanyun could advance twenty yards, she saw from the northern shore a robust giant tiger with a white forehead and golden eyes staring at her. With every step the tiger took towards the water, its body expanded by significant proportions. By the time it entered the water, the tiger’s neck and back were already twenty yards above the ground. From a distance, it looked like a small mountain that amazingly could dash agilely across the river’s surface.

Jiang Hanyun slightly knitted her brows, wondering from where these two major demons of The Third Door came and how did they conspire with a human to cause trouble in Zhenjiang?

Especially that immense white tiger, not only did it possess the bloodline of a Divine Beast, its cultivation level was close to the ninth house level.

"Out of the way!"

Jiang Hanyun raised her hand and sliced the incoming Black Wing Eagle away while the enormous white tiger was already lunging towards her. At this moment, Jiang Hanyun’s left hand was starting to be covered by purple-gold armor, stretching up to half her arm. She waved her hand, causing the entire sky to tremble momentarily. When the fist and paw collided, the force was so destructive that it suppressed the water surface by a yard and caused a hundred-yard-high wave around it.

Jiang Hanyun was also forced to retreat over thirty yards on the water surface due to the white tiger’s impact.

She was in a better condition than the white tiger, which was completely thrown off balance and hurled away.

But just as Jiang Hanyun was still unable to regain her balance, the golden sun wheel attacked again!

"You shall not pass!" The woman in palace clothes stood a hundred yards away, her face pale. She held a seal in her hand and suddenly summoned a few giant Wind Blades from the sky.

Yet within the splashing water, a sharp and formidable thunder arc flashed, splitting the Wind Blades apart as well as the golden wheel.

Even the Black Wing Eagle couldn’t escape, its neck was grazed by the arc despite its best efforts to resist, leaving a horrifying wound.

"Impressive!"

The white tiger, who was in the distance, also surprisingly spoke human language, "In our Demon Tribe in the south Zhili, it is said that the Iron-blooded Shura is not to be messed with. I didn’t take it seriously until today. Indeed, she is not to be messed with!"

Jiang Hanyun slightly snorted, her gaze still fixed in the direction of Yangzhou, showing a hint of worry in her eyes.

The giant white tiger in front of her had already regained its balance at a distance of a hundred yards, standing in front of her like a mountain. This meant that her attempt to forcefully break through had failed.

She didn’t know how much longer Li Xuan and the others could hold on, or whether they were unharmed?

※※※※

Two miles in front of Huanglin Temple, within the dense forest.

The female cultivator was standing on her sword in the air, looking at Li Xuan and others in front of her with a gaze filled with mockery and coldness, "You’re talking about a handsome boy with feminine features? Capturing him might be a bit tricky. My senior sister just sent me a message, Jiang Hanyun is already near the river near Yangzhou.

My senior sister said that even if the three of them from the Third Door combined forces, they could only hold back Iron-blooded Shura for a quarter of an hour at most. Even though she entered The Third Door not long ago, her strength is not inferior to a martial master of the ninth house level."

Shopkeeper Han frowned, his eyes unwilling, "Really can’t? Whoever can use this secret technique on me, this person must be close to that person."

"If we can’t, just kill him! It’s that Earl Chengyi’s second son. The master also said that if we can’t capture him, we’ll kill him straight away! This little brat has caused us a lot of trouble."

The female sword cultivator squinted her eyes, her tone was cold, "Anyway, let’s give it a try first, if we can’t catch him, Mr. Han, don’t blame me."

Only then did Shopkeeper Han laugh, "As long as you’re willing to try, how much trouble can these young brats cause under your watch?"

At this moment, he saw above him were hundreds of flying knives spraying out, falling towards the direction of Li Xuan and others like raindrops, with a majestic and overwhelming presence.

The Swordmistress flew ahead, her twin flying swords leading the way and targeting the head of the six-foot-tall Yellow Scarf Lishi.

By then, dozens of blood-red threads had appeared in Li Xuan’s vision, stretching outwards, connecting all of his opponents.

As expected, the power of the red-dressed ghost could be activated as long as he wanted it. The price, however, was the invasiveness of the Yinsha, further reducing his already limited lifespan.

If there were a precise word to describe it, it would no doubt be ’burning life’!

Peng Fulai was burning money, while he could only burn his own life to enhance his combat power.

Perhaps influenced by Li Xuan’s determination, the Huaiyi blade in his hand, as well as his other magical instruments, were resonating with him. Their energies were merging and gradually becoming one.

Luo Yan, who was standing by, narrowed her eyes. She felt the Yinsha energy that was spilling out of Li Xuan’s body. The quantity was minuscule, but it was pure and powerful.

Surprisingly, this Yinsha was coexisting with the mighty energy radiating from Li Xuan without any conflicts.

"Be careful, I’m going to make my move!"

As Li Xuan said these words, he exploded with hundreds of electric current-like lights.

Peng Fulai, without hesitation, threw out three purplish-gold talismans in succession, summoning three bluish-purple Thunderbolts that struck the surrounding martial masters.

Zhang Yue, on the other hand, was like a dragon swimming around Peng Fulai and Yue Qianqian. The large shield in his hand was spinning at a high speed like a massive disc, attracting all the flying knives and arrows using magnetic force.

Zhang Yue’s body had inflated to a height of a foot, covered in bulging muscles. Yet despite this, he was bleeding from the corner of his mouth under the impact of the flying knives and arrows.

Even when some arrows slipped through and hit his arm, Zhang Yue’s feet remained firm as a rock, and his hands were as tough as steel.

Blood spurted from Yue Qianqian’s nostrils, a sign of excessive mana consumption. At that moment, a second six-foot-tall Yellow Scarf Lishi appeared by her side.

The giant yanked out a huge tree nearby and hurled it towards the Swordmistress, who was entangled in a fight with Luo Yan. Luo Yan’s figure was like a flickering smoke, constantly moving around. She had six whips made from various metal threads and beast tendons hidden in her sleeves!

Luo Yan’s control of the whips was effortless, and every crack was potent enough to bring down mountains. Additionally, there was a force of wind wrapping around her.

If the Swordmistress’s sword was seen as a high-speed drill capable of piercing anything, Luo Yan was like an elusive, uncatchable breeze.

In the clash of the ’Shi’ and the ’Yi’ between the two, Luo Yan, who was a significant level lower in cultivation, didn’t fall behind too much.

However, her cultivation was ultimately much weaker. Under the pursuit of the sword qi, she landed in a difficult position in just one breath.

By that time, Li Xuan had already appeared before the Wood spell cultivator dressed in a large cloak.

"Do you want to kill me?"

The spell cultivator’s eyes opened wide in rage, after which they sneered: "Delusional."

It was the silhouette of a woman, and by her side, two martial cultivators holding large shields had already stepped forward to protect her.

"Slash!"

With the thunderous flash on the flying dagger in his left hand, Li Xuan’s Thunderbolt power skyrocketed. Both in quantity and quality, it was vastly different from before.

His Huaiyi Blade swung forward along one of the blood threads, creating a wave of blood light.

One of the martial cultivators at the fifth house level had his head chopped off without any resistance, creating a gushing blood fountain that shot seven feet high. His large shield was as good as absent.

Li Xuan’s figure seemed to flash past, appearing in front of the Wood spell cultivator.

By then, she could no longer remain calm. Her face was slightly pale and she instinctively stepped back under the onslaught of Li Xuan’s fierce thoughts.

This instinctive act of cowardice, however, enraged the Wood spell cultivator and her eyes were filled with a murderous intent.

"I’ll kill you!"

With her words, the vine giant that was ten feet tall had already brought down its huge hand. At the same time, more wooden vines, some forming a wooden wall in front of her and some curling towards Li Xuan, came from all directions.

At this moment, Li Xuan’s eyes were equally cold. A tremendous amount of Thunderbolt power had already accumulated in his chest that couldn’t be increased any further and was ready to burst any second.

In the following moment, the word "Crash" burst out from Li Xuan’s mouth. It was like a thunder clap, the sound echoing in the sky.
