Chapter 512: Chapter 363 The Evil Outsider

Li Yi thought of a countermeasure as soon as he sensed the turmoil of cosmic energy around him. He was unfamiliar with the strength of this High Priest and the power of the spells in this world; the only solution was to make the opponent hesitate to damage his own belongings.

Without any hesitation, Li Yi raised his hand and swung it, sending out a beam of silver Gang Qi that flew straight towards the stone houses.

Li Yi’s Gang Qi couldn’t kill the warriors of Shoushan Village, but it was more than enough to destroy buildings and wreck the village.

"Despicable."

The High Priest Mai Sui’s vanished figure suddenly appeared as he cursed loudly, waving the emerald staff in his hand. He manipulated the rampaging cosmic energy, concentrating a golden brilliance in front of the staff, which then slashed forward like a sharp sword.

The silver Gang Qi instantly shattered, and the remaining power of the golden light, undiminished, took a turn in midair and headed straight for Li Yi.

Li Yi was still at his peak Qi-blood, not often engaging in physical fights and possessing extraordinary physical fitness, thus keeping his peak condition longer than an ordinary Martial Artist from the Four Seas and Eight Continents. Seeing the attack coming, he did not dodge.

He took out the bottle containing the Fei Mu Needle, then with a thought, the needle soaked in the water suddenly moved and flew out directly.

No longer sealed by the water, the Fei Mu Needle immediately burst forth with divine brilliance, merely glancing at it made people’s eyes hurt, unbearable to look directly.

Li Yi’s surrounding Gang Qi whirled back from midair and attacked, the Fei Mu Needle taking the lead and hitting the golden brilliance directly. In just a brief encounter, it shattered the attack and then went straight for the High Priest Mai Sui.

"What?"

The High Priest was shocked; he had not expected the needle stored in that bottle to posses such power, as he had never seriously studied it before.

The divine needle flew forward, its sharpness unstoppable.

After witnessing the power of the divine needle, the High Priest dared not entangle with it any further and once again eerily disappeared from sight.

The divine needle missed its target, and Li Yi also lost his target.

But soon.

Li Yi sensed something and looked toward a nearby open space, where the High Priest Mai Sui had unexpectedly appeared. Almost without hesitation, his Qi-blood surged and Gang Qi crystallized, slashing out more than a dozen silver Sword Gangs in a few seconds.

"Keep dodging, and you’ll have no village left."

He did not want to entangle with him, only wishing for a quick resolution.

However, the High Priest also clearly saw that Li Yi could not maintain this state for long. He did not want to battle Li Yi to the death but rather danced around, trying to delay, waiting for Li Yi’s state to pass, which naturally would turn the situation around.

But right now.

The High Priest had no choice but to stand out to protect the village; he waved the emerald staff again, gathering cosmic energy that formed a wall of streaming light in front of him. This wall seemed frail, but when the silver Sword Gangs struck, it only left a notch and did not shatter it.

But the remaining Gang Qi flew wildly, splitting the ground, destroying buildings, and with just one strike, an area of houses became ruins.

"Inherently evil outsider," High Priest Mai Sui roared in anger upon seeing this scene.

"Avoiding battle, isn’t that despicable?"

Li Yi shouted loudly and then felt a wrenching pain in his chest; he knew his time in peak condition was running out.

Fortunately, he had already retrieved all his lost items. Now, the plan was to leave this place, and considering the current situation, with the powerhouse Ju Jiao not in the village, it was a rare opportunity.

"I am not a warrior, just a High Priest. Battle is not my forte," Mai Sui said: "But even so, I have the responsibility to stop you from escaping. If I let you go, Shoushan Village will definitely face a calamity."

At this, he raised the emerald staff in his hand.

In that moment, the already dim sky suddenly became cloudy, and then within those clouds, a series of crimson lightnings appeared, writhing and twisting like Spiritual Snakes, becoming denser and finally, thunderous sounds roared.

Li Yi, sensing a major danger to his soul, realized that the High Priest was using some dangerous spell, which he had tried to use earlier but was forcibly interrupted by Li Yi, but it seemed this time there was no stopping him.

"Thunderbolt War Machine, fire."

Li Yi unhesitatingly gave the order to fire; if they didn’t blast this High Priest to death, they were probably not leaving today.

The Thunderbolt War Machine, upon receiving Li Yi’s command, immediately fired a high-energy beam.

High Priest Mai Sui’s figure disappeared once again.

Suddenly, where he was originally, a deep pit appeared after being struck by the high-energy beam. If the attack had been successful, it might have taken the High Priest’s life.

Mai Sui, having vanished, mysteriously appeared again atop the roof of a stone house, continuing to wave his staff and manipulate the spell, commanding the thunder.

"Here it comes!"

In this moment, Li Yi’s soul alarm went wild, sensing imminent danger, and with all his Gang Qi, he rushed as fast as he could towards the Thunderbolt War Machine’s position.

If he couldn’t kill this spell-expert High Priest quickly, then his only option was to leave now. If he stayed any longer and his Qi-blood expired, it would be the end.

Boom!

A sudden thunderclap erupted in the sky, followed by a crimson bolt of lightning that struck Li Yi in an instant.

The speed of the lightning was too fast to evade.

However, in this extremely dangerous moment, the Fei Mu Needle shone brilliantly, emitting a divine light, shielding Li Yi.

He knew he couldn’t dodge the lightning, but he did know the direction it was coming from. All he had to do was suspend the divine needle above his head, wait for the lightning to strike, and let it be caught by the Fei Mu Needle.

Even though the Fei Mu Needle forcefully split open a bolt of lightning, the residual force still struck Li Yi, hitting half of his body.

Immediately, that half of his body turned charred black, losing sensation in an instant.

He coughed up a large mouthful of blood, his bodily condition terribly deteriorated. If it wasn’t for using his core blood to forcibly restore himself to his peak, his body would have already collapsed.

"This enmity today, must be avenged another day."

After forcibly catching this strike, Li Yi leapt up, and the Thunderstrike war machine also launched several attacks in succession to forcefully push back the High Priest Mai Sui, then opened the cockpit and successfully caught Li Yi.

"Get out of here," he immediately ordered.

"Don’t think you can escape," High Priest Mai Sui reappeared after dodging the attack, his eyes burning with fury as he looked at the badly damaged village, and once again cast his spell.

Bolts of lightning crazily struck down onto the war machine.

Yet, the war machine from world number six was designed with lightning resistance; otherwise, how could it fly through thunderclouds? So, as the bolts of lightning struck the war machine, it remained undamaged, and the strikes even powered up the war machine.

"What?"

High Priest Mai Sui saw his spells were ineffective, and was greatly shocked.

However, without answering his doubts, the Thunderstrike war machine activated and moved at full speed, quickly breaking the sound barrier with a roar, and in the blink of an eye, it disappeared into the horizon.

"Damn it, let the enemy escape," High Priest Mai Sui was extremely annoyed. If only he had been more decisive, now this evil foreigner had escaped and would definitely seek revenge later. Had he known this would happen, he should have beheaded them on the day to sacrifice to the heavens.

His hesitation was because Mai Sui was worried that killing the foreigner might bring the foreigner’s kin here, so he wanted to investigate clearly before acting.

"High Priest, are you alright?"

"High Priest, where is the enemy?"

After the Thunderstrike war machine flew away, warriors from other parts of Shoushan Village gradually arrived.

"You are too late, the enemy has escaped, starting today the whole village is under martial law. Notify Ju Jiao to come back quickly from the city with men, stop hunting during this period. If this matter is not handled well, our Shoushan Village will be destroyed," Mai Sui said anxiously, heavily hitting his staff.

"How is the situation in the village now?"

A stout man said, "Shanguo is seriously injured but not dead, Zhu Huan, Iron Foot, and Lie Shi, those three young men died..."

"How could that evil foreigner lay hands on a few children?" Mai Sui angrily said.

The man previously holding a large bow lowered his head and said, "It was Zhu Huan who shot a few arrows at the foreigner and even tried to challenge him. The foreigner could not tolerate it, so he took action."

"Damn it."

Mai Sui couldn’t help cursing, "Even captured eagles know to starve to death, how could someone who defeated Chongchi tolerate being humiliated by a few young men? You could withhold food from him, make him live in a filthy house, but you should never humiliate him. Now the other has fled with hatred and will definitely seek revenge later."

"Then I’ll go kill him," the bow-wielding man’s face changed, he hastily said.

"That foreigner has already flown away by some device, completely untraceable. I’ve always warned you not to break the rules, but you wouldn’t listen."

Saying so, Mai Sui raised his staff and struck the stout man, showing a tough-love attitude, "Quickly ensure the other foreigners are well guarded, maybe we can trade with their companions’ lives for peace in Shoushan Village."

He quickly thought of Jiang Mingtian, Hu Fei, and Zhao Fangji.

If the others care about their companions’ lives, there might be a way to resolve this.

"Alright, High Priest, I understand," the stout man hastily complied.

"No need, you’ve all disappointed me too much, I will handle this matter myself," High Priest Mai Sui said and then hurried off toward a certain direction in the village with his staff.

Soon, Mai Sui arrived at the place where the others were detained.

But it was empty, not a single person was there.

"Where did those foreigners go?" High Priest Mai Sui immediately asked.

The prison showed no signs of breakage, not looking like an escape.

At that moment, a man responsible for guarding them slightly lowered his head and said, "A merchant group came to the village yesterday, the village chief felt that these foreigners were injured and wouldn’t live long, and didn’t want to waste precious medicine on them, so they were sold off, ten gold per person, the village chief took that money and bought a lot of food and medicine, which was given to the injured Chongchi Family and also shared with some other needy families."

"Sold them?" High Priest Mai Sui hearing this news staggered almost falling over.

I said not to sell them, to wait until we understood these people’s identity before deciding.
