Chapter 511: Chapter 362: High Priest

"Escape? Do you really think the few of you can still escape now?" Li Yi’s pupils shrank at this moment, and his vertical eyes instantaneously locked onto those three annoying teenagers. With a shift of his feet, his figure vanished from where he stood.

"Stop!"

Shanguo shouted with a panicked expression in her eyes. Her agile figure darted out to stand in front of Zhu Huan and the others, trying to prevent Li Yi’s attack.

"Get lost."

Li Yi’s roar resonated as he threw a punch, with a killing move abruptly emerging.

After unleashing the blood from his heart, his strength reached a peak state. This punch carried a terrifying Fist Gang that rampaged unchecked, coupled with a dreadful intent of the fist congealing. Even the warrior named Lie Shi, who had battled against him before, would now have to retreat in front of the transformed Li Yi, not to mention this woman named Shanguo, who was weaker than Lie Shi.

She was in no position to exchange blows with Li Yi.

At this moment, Shanguo’s eyes revealed a look of terror. In her daze, she saw Li Yi transform into a fierce Vajra pressing down on her, the wrath of the Vajra possessing an indescribable Divine Power, capable of obliterating everything and uprooting all beings.

Before the fist even reached her, Shanguo felt fear, retreating instinctively by one step.

This was the soul, the will being repelled by Li Yi’s intent of the fist, causing her body to lose control involuntarily. At this moment, Shanguo even forgot to counterattack; to the onlookers, she appeared to be frozen in place, as if spellbound.

The fist was fast on its heels.

The Fist Gang exploded, blasting against Shanguo’s body as she spat out a mouthful of fresh blood. She burst forth like a gorgeous mountain flower, with a Fist Mark exploding in its wake, and following a scream, she was blasted away, eventually crashing into a stone wall. She was then buried beneath a collapsed building and totally disappeared from sight without a trace.

"Shanguo..."

Blood splattered before his eyes, causing Zhu Huan to stand frozen. He called out instinctively, but as soon as he finished speaking, a terrible figure was on him again.

"Come, let’s continue our fight. Show me the insolence you had just now once more."

Li Yi’s killing intent condensed, and the intent of the fist reappeared, his vertical pupils emanating a red glow, like a Buddha possessed, instilling fear in others.

Zhu Huan, along with his two companions Iron Foot and Lie Shi, were now terrified. They were shivering all over, realizing only now what kind of fight the other party was talking about. This was no child’s play or practice of shooting arrows at targets; it was a real struggle between life and death, gruesome and cruel.

Defeat meant death.

And now, the three of them seemed to smell the scent of death.

Overcome by fear, Zhu Huan roared. Raising his arm to draw his bow, he prepared to shoot an arrow and resist, but in the next moment, a fist reached out even faster, striking him squarely on his head with a single blow.

As the Fist Gang was released, Zhu Huan faintly heard the sound of something shattering.

The fresh blood mixed with bone fragments sprayed out, and the teenager who just challenged Li Yi became a headless corpse, standing rigidly on the spot.

After killing one person, Li Yi didn’t stop. The strength he regained after unleashing his heart’s blood was limited, and he was in the enemy’s village, where there surely were other warriors. He had to quickly retrieve his belongings and escape, or else death was all that awaited him.

Raising his fist and swinging again, without waiting for the remaining two to react, a punch pierced through the chest of the teenager named Lie Shi.

With a single blow, this teenager’s heart was shattered.

The blood was carried by the Fist Gang into the air, splashing a cloud of crimson mist.

Then Li Yi reached out, seizing the teenager named Iron Foot, and lifted him into the air: "Speak, where is the High Priest located?"

Iron Foot’s face was filled with fear, as if in a trance. Upon hearing Li Yi’s inquiry, he instinctively pointed in one direction.

"Over there?" Li Yi glanced over, right as he was about to take action.

Suddenly.

His soul issued a premonition once again.

A black arrow tore through the sky, coming straight at him.

Clearly, the warriors from the village had reacted and begun to come to the aid.

Li Yi, holding Iron Foot, spun around to use him as a shield.

The incoming arrow accurately shot through Iron Foot’s head, but Li Yi swiftly dodged by tilting his head, the arrow ultimately exploding in a pit behind him.

"Damn you, I’ll kill you!"

A furious roar sounded, revealing a muscular man who had thrown down his bow and came charging over, fuming with anger.

Li Yi didn’t waste time, just giving a glance, he immediately flew towards the direction of the High Priest with Gang Qi propelling him.

"He Wei, stop that man!" the muscular man, unable to catch up, shouted urgently.

A man named He Wei burst out from another direction, rushing forward at an extremely fast speed, like a cheetah in full burst, leaving afterimages as he aimed to intercept Li Yi first and buy time for the other warriors.

Li Yi was attentive. He reached out, and a dazzling silver Sword Gang once again condensed. Then it suddenly ballooned, becoming several times larger than before, and he lifted his hand to deliver a slash.

The silver Sword Gang cleaved through the sky and slashed down in an instant.

""

The man named He Wei abruptly stopped in his tracks and raised his arms to block.

But in the next moment.

A vicious gash was torn into the man’s body, blood spattered, and he was sent flying backward, crashing into a stone wall.

"He Wei..."

Seeing his companion defeated, the man who had dropped his bow was both shocked and angry; it was already too late to stop Li Yi.

At this moment, Li Yi had already zipped past the stone houses and disappeared from sight.

"Chase him, go after him, don’t worry about me, I’m fine. It seems he’s heading towards the High Priest, we must stop him."

Struggling to his feet, He Wei looked at the gruesome wound on his body, his face tinged with shame for failing to stop the enemy.

However, the physical resilience of people in this world is astonishing. Despite taking a direct hit from the Gang Qi of Li Yi’s full-blown strike, he was still lively and nimble, acting as if nothing had happened.

If this were the Four Seas and Eight Continents or World Number Six, this man would have been cleaved in half by now.

"He’s going to kill the High Priest? Damn it." The brawny man at that moment...

Li Yi darted from one stone house to the next, encountering many of the villagers, who were all tall and strong with an innate extraordinariness, even the women were at least one meter eighty or ninety tall. However, his target was not these villagers; he was searching for the High Priest’s location, his peak condition still in effect, and he must retrieve everything while there was still time.

Soon.

A solitary stone house came into view.

The roof of the stone house was adorned with three-colored streamers fluttering like a flag, and the stone house was much larger than any other dwelling around, with various animal skulls, furs, and sinews hung at the entrance.

"Is that where the High Priest lives?"

Without any hesitation, Li Yi, propelling himself with Gang Qi, rushed straight towards it and in less than three seconds, had smashed through a thick stone wall and burst inside the house.

His vertical pupils shone as he scanned left and right.

He saw that the interior layout was different from other places, with animal furs laid out as carpets on the ground and a wooden bookshelf placed beside them, piled with numerous bamboo slips. Additionally, the room was lit, with an animal’s fat burning, emitting a strange fragrance.

Compared to other residences, the stone house of the High Priest bore traces of civilization.

This indicated that this wasn’t a completely primitive world; there was culture and history, albeit the level of civilization wasn’t exceptionally high.

Immediately after, Li Yi saw several familiar objects on a table inside the house: his storage bracelet, the damaged Sword Coin, the Fei Mu Needle in a bottle, along with Jiang Mingtian’s spell sword and Hu Fei’s warrior blade. However, the Transcendent armor was nowhere to be seen.

It looked like the High Priest had recently been examining these items, but judging from the situation, he likely hadn’t mastered their uses, after all, no matter how clever he was, it was impossible to understand the functions of items from various different worlds in such a short time.

Li Yi immediately took the storage bracelet and put it on his wrist, then gathered all the other items into the storage Magic Artifact.

Just as he finished doing this.

Suddenly, one of the walls turned red-hot, and in the next moment, the wall melted away, and a wave of scorching fire surged towards him, with a heat comparable to the Three-color True Fire wielded by Ouyang Bing back at the Golden Academy, a terrifying temperature that could easily burn someone to death.

Without any hesitation, Li Yi activated the Gang Qi around his body, soared upward, smashed through the roof, and dodged the scorching fire attack.

Inside the stone house, a middle-aged man with a leather crown on his head and a large mantle draped over his shoulders, looking lean and gaunt, now held a green staff and raised his head to frown at Li Yi, who was in mid-air.

Clearly, this middle-aged man was the High Priest of Shoushan Village.

Li Yi sensed a dangerous aura from this High Priest; evidently, he wasn’t some charlatan faking divinity but a Cultivator who possessed transcendent powers.

"With the injuries on your body, you shouldn’t be able to move around; my name is Mai Sui, the High Priest of Shoushan Village. I believe we should have a proper talk instead of resorting to such violent means, which would be better for everyone, don’t you agree?" said the High Priest named Mai Sui in a calm tone.

"Perhaps the people of Shoushan Village have done something wrong, but you should forgive them. After all, your group entered the sacred burial ground of the gods, disturbed the eternal rest of the deities, and incited the still simmering wrath, nearly bringing destruction to the nearby villages."

Li Yi, floating in mid-air with the propulsion of Gang Qi, replied coldly, "We are not accustomed to being enslaved, and I have tried to communicate with you normally, but you refused. Do you see the blood flowing from my body? That’s the price of communication. Now, I’m here to take back what’s mine."

After speaking, his storage Magic Artifact flashed.

In the next moment.

A thunderous war machine was released.

However, in that instant, the High Priest named Mai Sui vanished from his spot.

Soon after, the sky above darkened instantly, and the cosmic energy surrounding it grew turbulent.

This was...

Li Yi’s expression changed drastically.

The High Priest had made his move; Li Yi had seen the scene when Du Bai Zhi acted, where any usage of spells would stir the surrounding cosmic energy since human power is limited. Even the strongest Cultivator couldn’t cause much destruction with personal energy alone. Only by harnessing the power of the heavens and Earth, the energy of the cosmos could spells have their might amplified.

Clearly, the High Priest was casting a spell.
