Chapter 495: Chapter 349 Forced to Leave

Li Yi’s stance was very clear: either eliminate Du Bai Zhi or everyone would be trapped and die together in this ghost realm.

Meanwhile, Du Bai Zhi was fully aware that Li Yi was fanning the flames and using others to do his dirty work, yet she was utterly helpless because Wu Zuo Hua and Luo Tianyou were protecting him, depriving her of any opportunity to strike. Otherwise, if she could just kill Li Yi, all these complications wouldn’t even arise.

"Wu Zuo Hua, Luo Tianyou, don’t be incited by his words. Since Li Yi claims to have a way to break through the ghost realm, let’s just capture him and force the information out of him. If that fails, we can join forces to find a way to break out of this ghost realm," Ouyang Bing spoke at this moment: "If you two are set on making a move, Du Bai Zhi and I together will not be pushed around easily."

"Besides, what if Li Yi is deceiving you? What if he actually has no control over this evil object? We’re all intelligent here; don’t let him rile you up with just a few words."

"No one can be sure whether Li Yi is capable of lifting the ghost realm, but if this situation continues, I wouldn’t mind slaughtering Du Bai Zhi to test it out. After all, that’s the least costly option. If I get entangled by that evil object as per your scenario, it would be disastrous. Ouyang Bing, it’s you who harbors ill intentions, seeking to doom me," Luo Tianyou retorted.

Then he glanced at Du Bai Zhi again.

At that moment, Du Bai Zhi was still being pursued by the fierce ghost. Even though she could easily escape and avoid it with her formidable strength, one must realize that from the beginning until now, the fierce ghost’s attacks had never ceased. If this situation didn’t change, being worn down to death was inevitable.

Having witnessed the danger and terror of this evil object, Luo Tianyou naturally dared not come into contact with it in the slightest.

He was a Martial Artist, not mindless.

He knew well what was more important.

Ouyang Bing’s gaze was gloomy at this point, aware that if he didn’t do something to alter this situation, these people would eventually lose their patience and take action. He didn’t wish to watch Du Bai Zhi schemed to death by a soul-crossing fellow.

"What a pity, Du Bai Zhi’s Black Lion has been heavily injured, otherwise, we might have had the chance to join forces and overpower Li Yi," he remarked.

His gaze shifted subtly as he looked at the Extraordinary Black Lion lying on the ground, heavily wounded and unconscious.

The Black Lion was very powerful, capable of detaining a Spirit Power Realm expert with no issues, but unfortunately, it had suffered three charged attacks from the thunder war machine. It was already fortunate to be alive; the possibility of standing up to fight again was out of the question.

Despite some interest in Li Yi’s suggestion to kill Du Bai Zhi, the others had yet to make a move, continuing to hesitate and contemplate.

Or perhaps, they were also waiting for Du Bai Zhi to be continuously weakened, so taking action later would be somewhat easier.

The situation was somewhat at a stalemate at this moment.

Seeing this, Li Yi kept silent, knowing that further urging on his part would likely backfire, as these powerful individuals were all temperamental. If they were to get angry and attack him with a lethal move, he would be finished.

Therefore, he simply sat down on the ground to rest.

He wasn’t feeling great either, having a limb severed by Du Bai Zhi resulted in a significant injury. Although he had a life-restoring capsule, Li Yi dared not take it out and use it directly now. Given its value, it was better not to expose it at this critical moment.

"Li Yi, what exactly did you release to trap so many Spirit Power Realm experts?" Jiang Mingtian asked in a low voice at this moment: "We won’t be targeted as well, will we?"

At this moment, he felt extremely apprehensive.

"Stay quiet, don’t overthink, don’t ask questions, and this is my mother, you must be polite, as you’ve seen, she has a bit of a temper," Li Yi said.

"Understood, no questions, I’ll stay quiet," Jiang Mingtian immediately shut his mouth, realizing that such a high-level situation was not something he could get involved with, and moreover, the arrangements and plans made by Li Yi were beyond his comprehension.

However, he believed that today Du Bai Zhi was bound to be in big trouble; now all he needed to do was to watch the show unfold.

Currently, Du Bai Zhi was indeed in a difficult position, being continuously chased by a fierce ghost, without a moment’s rest. At the moment, her physical strength and energy were still abundant, allowing her to keep up the fight, but she couldn’t keep exhausting herself endlessly.

"I must find a way to break this deadlock."

At this moment, Du Bai Zhi was gritting her teeth, her eyes occasionally filled with murderous intent looking towards Li Yi.

"Ouyang Bing, let’s join forces to take down Li Yi, Wu Zuo Hua and Luo Tianyou won’t be able to protect him," unable to care about the consequences any longer, she only thought of unleashing a rampage.

Ouyang Bing, however, slightly shook his head: "I thought about it, but your Black Lion took a hard hit, we can’t win in a head-on fight, and besides, there is Cui San hopping around, what if he stands on their side too? I can’t think of any good solution under the current circumstances."

"Damn it," Du Bai Zhi swore through clenched teeth.

At this moment, the contemplative Wu Zuo Hua spoke: "Li Yi, your grudge with Du Bai Zhi is not our concern, but enough is enough with today’s developments, you want to use others to achieve your ends, sending everyone to their deaths, it’s a good plan, but you’re offending too many people. In the end, when push comes to shove, the first one to die will be you, and even I won’t hesitate to move against you."

"You should understand this reasoning," he added.

"So, what are you trying to say?" Li Yi’s gaze shifted slightly as he looked at Wu Zuo Hua.

Wu Zuo Hua glanced at Luo Tianyou and Cui San, and finally at Du Bai Zhi who was still trying to escape, then said: "Let’s all take a step back, Li Yi, dispose of that evil object, lift the ghost realm, and I’ll make Du Bai Zhi give up her body, soul crossing to leave, your vengeance can be resolved later, how does that sound?"

"I like this idea, I agree," Luo Tianyou said indifferently.

Cui San also nodded repeatedly: "I agree too, it’s not worth losing our lives here just for the sake of entertainment."

"No way, who are you to make decisions for me?" Du Bai Zhi yelled out in anger.

"Shut up, it’s not up to you to decide here," Wu Zuo Hua now showed a firm stance: "After all, you are the one who started this, letting you give up your body and soul to cross and leave is already lenient, if we really continue this standoff, you’ll surely die."

"Let Du Bai Zhi cross and leave first, I can figure out a way to lift the ghost realm," Li Yi said. He didn’t bother with the rest for now, he needed to urgently deal with Du Bai Zhi, to prevent any unexpected changes with more time.

As long as Du Bai Zhi was done for, there would be no need for a mutually destructive outcome, after all, he had no feud with the others.

"Du Bai Zhi, did you hear that? Give up your body, cross and leave, we won’t lay a finger on you," Wu Zuo Hua then shifted his gaze and refocused on Du Bai Zhi.

"Do you really think the few of you can threaten me?" Du Bai Zhi angrily said, "You want me to escape by crossing life realms with my soul? I’ll cut you down first."

"Oblivious and stubborn." Luo Tianyou stepped forward with clenched fists, treading on the void, "I gave you a chance to live, yet you refuse it. Then, I’ll fight until you’re forced to cross the boundary. I want to see whether it’s your mouth or your bones that are harder."

"Count me in," the Cultivator named Cui San also moved closer.

"Just the three of you?" At this moment, Du Bai Zhi no longer held back. She had been seething with pent-up anger, and now her body burst forth with dazzling radiance. With her hands forming a Dharma Seal, she struck a peculiar pose, and then a tremendous heartbeat echoed throughout the ghost realm.

It seemed as if heaven and earth were quaking.

In an instant.

All cosmic energy nearby converged on her, and in only a moment, the surrounding cosmic energy became impoverished, almost unusable.

Yet around Du Bai Zhi, there was a halo that turned into a moon, resplendent and exquisitely beautiful.

"Claiming all nearby cosmic energy for your own use in one breath? Impressive, but useless against me." Luo Tianyou roared mightily, with a thunderous sound that shook the heavens and earth. A scalding red Qi-Blood surged from his body, as if a True Dragon had awakened. Then this Qi-Blood wrapped around his arm and he threw a punch.

At that moment, the sky was filled with a blood-red light, and the punch tore through the void, fading even the moonlight.

Du Bai Zhi had just performed the Heaven and Earth Fetal Movement Cultivation Skill, forcibly seizing all nearby cosmic energy, and before she could unleash her killing move, she was sent flying backward by this overwhelming punch, the moon halo formed from cosmic energy also instantly shattered.

Her body was stained with blood, and her face showed an expression of disbelief.

Knowing that Luo Tianyou was a fighter who dual-cultivated in Martial Arts and had terrifying combat capabilities, she hadn’t expected him to be this powerful.

"Don’t get too arrogant, Luo Tianyou," Ouyang Bing shouted, as Three-color True Fire burst forth instantly towards Luo Tianyou, engulfing him in flames in just a moment.

However, the next moment,

A terrifying intent to punch burst forth, pressing down like a majestic mountain.

In just an instant, the sea of fire was violently torn open.

Luo Tianyou formed an ancient Fist Mark, repelled the Three-color True Fire, and stepped out from the rift, his upper clothing burned away, revealing his muscular torso shining without a scratch: "Your Three-color True Fire is not bad, but it’s nothing to me. I told you, in a life and death fight, I can twist off your head."

"Du Bai Zhi, cross the realms and leave, and we will end this matter here. Otherwise, if we really fight, I can’t guarantee that another Ouyang Bing won’t be added to the list."

Ouyang Bing’s expression was terribly gloomy.

He hadn’t believed Luo Tianyou’s boasting before, but now, he somewhat had to believe it.

The combat power of an Evolver who dual-cultivates in Martial Arts was too strong.

People like them, who cultivate in Daoist Skills, are at a significant disadvantage right now.

"You have no choice." At this moment, Wu Zuo Hua’s body expanded, like the revival of a Divine Statue, glaring imposingly, his entire body as tough as forged metal, indestructible. Moreover, his palms were now conjuring blades and swords.

"If you can’t beat them, run quickly. What are you still looking at?" Cui San also spoke, doing nothing but mouthing off.

At this moment, Du Bai Zhi was still dodging attacks from fierce ghosts. She was very unwilling, but she found herself forced to bow her head.

On the side, Ouyang Bing sighed, shook his head slightly, indicating he was helpless to assist.

Seeing this, Du Bai Zhi’s face showed struggle, but after weighing her options, she yelled with hatred, "Li Yi, wait for me. I’ll come back for my reckoning with you."

Under such coercion, Du Bai Zhi’s soul finally left her body.

A stream of moonlight burst forth from her body and fled away at high speed.

Eventually, she crossed through a space wormhole, left the ghost realm, and disappeared across the realms.

She was decisive in her departure.

Because if she continued to linger, she feared she might lose even the chance to cross the realms since the fierce ghost was chasing her too closely.

After her soul departed, Du Bai Zhi’s body became one of the Silent Ones, her lifeless body falling from midair.

But the fierce ghost still appeared behind her, with a pale hand ultimately landing on her shoulder.

A terrifying supernatural force was triggered.

That body, once full of life, abruptly turned icy cold, as if all life force had been stripped away.

"Not good."

At this time, Ouyang Bing reacted, hastily grabbed at the air, and using his Spiritual Power, snatched Du Bai Zhi’s body over.

But at the touch, Ouyang Bing felt the chilling cold of the body and his heart sank immediately.

This body was dead...
