Chapter 518: Chapter 368: Their Respective Battles_2

After those words, the silent Ju Jiao’s gaze suddenly became resolute, and then he stared deathly at Li Yi: "The High Priest is right, no matter what, I cannot let you leave today, for the sake of Shoushan Village, I must kill you."

"I never expected that my companions were sold by you all as slaves?" Li Yi’s gaze also turned icy in an instant: "I originally thought about negotiating a trade to secure their release, but now it seems there’s no need, let’s determine right from wrong through battle."

"If I die, naturally no one will seek vengeance upon you, but if you, Ju Jiao, lose, then the entire Shoushan Village could potentially be wiped out. Can you afford such a cost?"

"I easily defeated you before, I know your strength, you won’t be my match." Ju Jiao clenched his great sword, filled with murderous intent.

Li Yi said: "There are many ways to decide a victory or defeat, just like how you ambushed us out of nowhere, I’ve come here with confidence in my own assured victory."

However, no sooner had he finished speaking, when the figure of a burly man suddenly stomped on the ground, causing a loud boom as he charged forward, accompanied by the rattling sound of a chain of bone teeth - the warrior named Zhong Chi, now healed from his injuries, let out a great roar and punched fiercely, his fist as swift and powerful as before.

"Today I, Zhong Chi, shall avenge my previous humiliation."

He was not convinced by his previous defeat and a shadow loomed over his heart. To break through this shadow, he had to defeat Li Yi head-on once again.

Confronted by the attack of a Shoushan Village warrior, the mutant beast under Li Yi immediately roared, ready to join the battle.

But it was Li Yi who made the first move. His entire arm suddenly shimmered with a silver radiance which then condensed and interwove into a solid-looking silver Sword Gang, and in an instant, he swung his hand to make a slash.

The silver Sword Gang arrived in a flash.

Seeing this, Ju Jiao’s expression changed dramatically: "Zhong Chi, be careful."

But it was already too late.

The sharpness of the silver Sword Gang was now beyond compare. While his realm remained that of the Soul Realm even after awakening the Divine Power bloodline, his strength had undergone a shocking transformation – a Sword Gang like this was simply not something that flesh and blood could withstand.

The Sword Gang flew by.

Blood splattered.

The physically robust Zhong Chi was brutally cleaved into two halves, and then his towering figure crashed to the ground. His eyes wide open, he still clenched his fist wanting to swing, but it was to no avail, and he could only swallow this breath of air in unwillingness.

This sudden turn of events shocked everyone present.

"Zhong Chi is dead?"

It was inconceivable that one of the most powerful warriors in Shoushan Village would be cut down so easily by the evil outsider.

Previously, he was able to fight the opponent to a stalemate.

Why such a huge change in just ten or so days?

This transformation in Li Yi baffled the remaining warriors of Shoushan Village.

"Last time you couldn’t best me, and you were suppressed in spirit by my Fist Power, yet you dare to come seek death." At this moment, Li Yi’s expression was cold, and he wasn’t the least bit surprised by the outcome. In his eyes, the only person in Shoushan Village worthy of fighting him was Ju Jiao alone.

Although the High Priest also posed a certain threat, Li Yi had already seen through him last time; the High Priest was only knowledgeable in Spells, not physically strong, so he posed a relaxed threat.

"Avenge Zhong Chi."

However, the death of Zhong Chi did not cause the other warriors to feel fear, but rather, it sparked their bloodlust and hatred. They all roared and made their moves at this moment.

Some pulled their great bows to shoot at Li Yi, others raised their axes to hack down, all of them were incredibly brave and full of vigor.

"Life-and-death fights, leave it to fate."

Li Yi let out a long howl and charged forth. His body was enveloped in a silver glow, burning like flames. Under the condensation of the Hundred Refinement Gang Qi, he seemed to wear an invincible silver armor, easily withstanding the onslaught of arrows without injury. With each movement, silver Gang Qi slashed out.

Ju Jiao, seeing this, dared not be careless. He roared and gripped his great sword, attacking instantly. The ancient great sword cleaved down, forcibly scattering several silver Gang Qi to save the lives of a few Shoushan warriors, and then his nearly three-meter-tall frame leaped into the air.

The broadsword swung around with great momentum and heavy force, bearing down on Li Yi’s head.

But this time, Li Yi managed to react in time.

Silver vertical pupils gleamed; he saw the opponent’s attack clearly.

Without the slightest hesitation, Li Yi grasped with his hand, and the silver Sword Gang transformed into a treasured blade. The sound of the blade’s edge whistled through the air like a fierce wind, striking head-on in response.

The sound of metal clashing echoed.

The next moment.

The silver Sword Gang in Li Yi’s hand suddenly shattered, followed by the broadsword’s remaining might, which chopped down on his shoulder and forcefully cracked the silver battle armor he was wearing. Li Yi’s body, due to the massive force, was brutally pressed down more than half a meter into the ground, sending a numbing tremor through his frame.

"What formidable power," however, when Li Yi lifted his head, he revealed a wild and unrestrained smile: "But, your blade is no longer as sharp as before, it can’t kill me now."

With his awakened divine bloodline, he withstood the full force of the opponent’s strike.

This scene left Ju Jiao stunned; he started to doubt if his own strength had regressed. The person he could once easily blow away with a punch had now grown to such an extent.

However, Ju Jiao’s rich combat experience allowed him to swiftly come to his senses, then he withdrew his sword and turned around, preparing to strike again.

Yet, Li Yi violently grabbed the bulky broadsword with one hand. A silver radiance condensed, dazzlingly bright. Divine Power surged from within his body, firmly gripping the sword attempting to withdraw, then his other fist shot out abruptly.

The silver Fist Gang interwove like lightning.

The awakened divine bloodline allowed Li Yi to unleash fist power that was unimaginable.

"This is bad," Ju Jiao’s face changed drastically, raising his arm to block.

Boom!

The sound of thunder exploded, with shockwaves sweeping through. The silver radiance spread out like ripples in all directions.

An absurdly strong force actually knocked back Ju Jiao—the three-meter-tall burly giant—half a meter, and left a clear Fist Mark on his arm, which bled around the edges, breaking the skin of his pridefully robust physique.

Pain, traveled up from the arm.

Ju Jiao felt the power of that punch, and while hard to believe, he couldn’t deny that the enemy before him was quickly growing closer to his own level.

But the more this was the case, the less he could allow this enemy to leave this place.

With a roar, Ju Jiao furiously gripped his sword with both hands, his muscles bulged, and a terrifying power was unleashed. He harshly pressed Li Yi down another half a meter, trying to slash off half of Li Yi’s arm.

Li Yi’s shoulder was in pain, his silver battle armor completely shattered, skin and flesh sliced open, blood oozing out but also revealing silver bones. These bones, indestructible, stubbornly blocked the opponent’s broadsword.

Seeing these silver bones, Ju Jiao was taken aback, the Divine Power bursting from his massive body suddenly dissipated, disbelief written all over his face.

Not just him, the High Priest Mai Sui, who was wielding a green wand ready to cast a spell, also widened his eyes in shock upon seeing Li Yi’s silver bones.

However, the battle did not stop due to the changes in these two individuals.

At this moment, the mutant beast Niu Niu, seated below, also roared and charged out, toppling a Shoushan Village warrior in a single encounter. The warrior flew out like a shell, smashing into the ground, sinking into the soil, and losing all signs of life in the blink of an eye.

This mutant beast also possessed extraordinary Divine Power; after consuming silver mutant fruit and growing stronger muscles and bones, it proved to be too much for an ordinary warrior to handle.

The cries of Good Wings echoed in the sky, this mutant beast striking as swiftly as lightning. It swooped down, knocking down a warrior in an instant. Although the warrior roared, ready to counterattack, the giant beak of Good Wings glimmered with intertwining silver light and pecked out instantly, causing the warrior’s head to explode on the spot, blood splattering everywhere.

But then, an axe, carrying raging power, attempted to chop off Good Wings’ head.

However, Good Wings fluttered its wings, trailing afterimages, teleported to avoid the axe’s attack, and then lunged at the second Shoushan Village warrior.
