Chapter 689: Chapter 487: Conflict in the Building

Lin Ya seemed to have some authority in this building. His words immediately eased the previously tense atmosphere, calming down the adventurers who were about to spring into action. Although hostility lingered, at least there was no risk of a fight, otherwise, if it started, the situation would be beyond his control.

"Good, you’ve made a wise decision." Li Yi glanced around before slowly letting go of Lin Ya’s wrist.

"I hope you’ll provide a reasonable explanation, otherwise this matter won’t be so easily resolved," Lin Ya said seriously.

At this moment, Hai Li stepped forward and said, "Darkness has spread, the building is continuously falling into ruin. We fled here not to fight you intentionally, but because the situation was urgent, and we had no choice. If we delay, it will only draw monsters to us, which is bad for everyone."

Saying this, he revealed the mark on the back of his hand.

"The Evil God’s curse?" Lin Ya’s expression changed. "You encountered the Evil God?"

"Exactly, the Evil God appeared in the darkness to destroy us, and cast a curse. We managed to escape from the depths of that darkness with great effort. If we don’t quickly enter the building and seek shelter from the Sacred Corpse, the evil objects will follow the curse’s scent and kill us all. We broke through the doors to enter, so we hope you understand, considering our common enemy is the evil objects in the dark," Mei Ling also said.

Lin Ya replied, "But regardless, you injured our people, this needs to be addressed."

"We can offer compensation," Hai Li immediately said.

Upon hearing this, Lin Ya’s expression slightly softened, he asked, "How do you plan to compensate?"

Hai Li was about to continue speaking when a voice suddenly interrupted, "Lin Ya, you’re too weak. A group of outsiders forced their way into our building and injured our teammates. You not only abstain from seeking revenge but shamelessly ask for compensation. What do you take life for?"

The crowd turned to the voice and saw a blond man leading a group of adventurers striding over. This man wore a suit of silver armor, which emitted an enigmatic and noble glow. A cross great sword hung at his waist, encrusted with various gemstones, showcasing both luxury and mysterious magic power.

"Kevin."

Lin Ya spoke the name, frowning with a hint of vigilance.

Kevin ignored Lin Ya and walked up to Hai Li and Mei Ling, his gaze calm yet cold as he assessed the two people. "Those cursed by the Evil God are destined not to survive in this world. Why should we help adventurers who are about to die? And to protect you, we bear the risk of being watched by the Evil God."

"So today, I’d ask you all... to die."

Before finishing his words, the cross treasure sword at his waist suddenly unsheathed, casting an arc of sword light, swiftly slashing towards Hai Li and Mei Ling.

Hai Li was no weakling; he reacted instantaneously. His great sword, almost as tall as a person, was half drawn from its scabbard, attempting to block the fatal strike.

However, the weapon in this adventurer named Kevin’s hand was evidently stronger. This blow broke Hai Li’s great sword into two, and the formidable force directly threw him away.

Hai Li rolled over the ground countless times, finally crashing like a cannonball into the nearest wall.

The wall dented and crumbled, with blood incessantly flowing.

"Luck is with you; you blocked one of my strikes, but that’s all." Kevin’s gaze remained cold, then turned towards Mei Ling, his cross great sword preparing another swing.

But Mei Ling had already reacted, her pupils suddenly contracted as she retreated, attempting to evade the attack.

However, Kevin’s great sword descended, releasing a crescent-moon sword light more fierce than a Martial Artist’s Gang Qi, extraordinarily sharp and instantly pursuing Mei Ling, aiming to slice her into two.

Mei Ling chanted spells, trying to cast magic.

But it was too slow.

Unexpectedly, this strike would surely kill her.

Yet in the next moment.

Yu Chuan acted. As a Soul Realm Evolver, he possessed exceptional physical strength; with soul foresight, he swiftly darted over, grabbing Mei Ling and pushing her to the ground, avoiding the attack in an embarrassed manner.

"Made it," he breathed a sigh of relief.

But before he could react, Ning Wu also moved. At this moment, she had approached Kevin, and as the shackles on her body were lifted, she kicked out with a strike that shattered the air, issuing a deafening sound.

"Boom!"

The muffled collision sound spread along with a gust of wind.

Kevin, however, stood unmoving, merely raising his arm, with the armored arm blocking the seemingly fierce strike.

This scene made Ning Wu’s pupils suddenly contract.

Is this person’s strength so high? Can a Soul Realm Evolver’s unrestrained strike be easily blocked?

"Good power, yet that’s all." Kevin’s gaze remained cold, his other hand lifting the cross great sword once more.

"Not good!"

Ning Wu’s soul frantically warned her; she sensed a deadly danger and pulled back at lightning speed, withdrawing tens of meters in an instant.

"You can’t escape."

However, Kevin’s figure also vanished from the spot; when it reappeared, he was several tens of meters away, standing tall in front of Ning Wu, his treasure sword drawing closer.

She couldn’t avoid it.

Ning Wu felt a wave of coldness. At this moment, she could only watch as the opponent’s cross treasure sword descended.

But just when she thought she was doomed, the treasure sword that was about to strike stopped in mid-air.

Did this person hold back?

Ning Wu thought, but soon she realized something was wrong. The opponent hadn’t held back; someone familiar had appeared behind Kevin. That figure was enveloped in silver aura, interwoven with lightning, extraordinary and majestic, with silver vertical pupils that were both dignified and terrifying.

It’s Li Yi... she realized something.

Kevin was suddenly startled, the great sword in mid-air turned abruptly and slashed backward.

The sword light flew out, cutting hundreds of meters away, landing on the building’s wall and tearing a grim opening, but the person behind easily dodged it with a tilt of their head.

However, Li Yi did not stop there, and with a lifted hand, he unleashed a punch infused with Divine Bloodline Power.

At this moment, Kevin was unsettled. He showed a look of horror, as if he saw a god-like fist smashing the heavens and trembling humanity, his heart shaken with fear. Luckily, he was not weak and reacted promptly, raising his arm to block the punch.

Bam!

The air was ripped open like a screen, and then Kevin flew backward, sent flying over twenty meters high, crashing through the corridor’s railing and wall, disappearing into a room.

"Your strength is only this much; don’t be too arrogant," Li Yi said calmly.

Not far away, Lin Ya was visibly shocked.

Just now, how did this person suddenly get over to Kevin? He was so shaken he didn’t even react.

"Boss Kevin." Other people inside the building were shocked and furious when they saw this scene.

They glared at Li Yi, yet feared his powerful strength and dared not act rashly.

Some immediately rushed upstairs to see if Kevin was alright.

But very soon.

A figure rushed out again from the ruins of the upstairs room, his armor shining with enchanting brilliance, providing strong defense, yet even so, there was a clearly visible fist mark on his arm, deeply indented several centimeters, shattering part of his bone.

Kevin had blood at the corner of his mouth, glaring at Li Yi angrily.

"Do you still want to fight? Come on." Li Yi gestured: "My temper is not good; the next move will send you on your way."

He hadn’t even used Mana, had he infused Mana into the punch earlier, the opponent wouldn’t be merely alive, at least an arm would be lost, and even the armor couldn’t protect against it. The Heart Fire Qi of the Five Qi Realm is not something mere mortals can withstand.

"Do you think you can kill me?" Kevin said coldly.

"My words don’t matter, reality will give you the answer." Li Yi extended a finger, Tao Skill operated, an ultimate light gathered atop it, and with the light flickering, everyone felt a wave of dread.

But for Yu Chuan, Mei Ling, Hai Li, and others, this move was not unfamiliar.

Previously, it was this strike that split the Hellfire Sea, forcefully creating a path, if this strike landed on a person, the consequences would be severe.

"Kevin, stop, do you want everyone to die with you? You are too decisive." At this moment, Lin Ya rushed out, shouting loudly while preventing the two from continuing to fight.

Although he did not have a good relationship with Kevin, after all, they were tenants in the same building, he couldn’t just watch him die at the opponent’s hands.

"Lin Ya, it’s because of your weakness that they found an opportunity. If we don’t drive them out today, danger will surely come," Kevin was unappreciative, tightly gripping the great sword: "You back off, I’ll kill this guy, I can’t believe he can defeat me."

Even facing Li Yi’s top-level Taoist Technique, he was still unafraid.

In his view, such forbidden methods couldn’t be used continuously; as long as he avoided or blocked this strike, he still had a chance of winning.

"You’re stubborn."

Li Yi didn’t want to say more, intending to use the Dividing River into Land technique to cut down this person and intimidate others to prevent anyone else from causing trouble.

But just at this time.

An adventurer nearby stumbled over, his expression somewhat terrified, saying: "Boss Kevin, no, not good, there’s a legendary monster appearing outside..."

The words weren’t even finished.

A wall of the building suddenly shattered open, the flesh inside the wall flying everywhere.

Along with the splitting of the heavy wall, a blood-red figure emerged from the darkness, stepping into the building, directly ignoring the influence of the holy corpse inside.

"Undying Sword King?"

Kevin and Lin Ya’s faces changed drastically as they looked at the monster.

Indeed, it’s a legendary creature.

"An old acquaintance." Li Yi stared at the creature.

He remembered the Undying Sword King having its head chopped off by Yang Wei before, but now, the head was reattached. Surely, these undead-attribute creatures are hard to kill, and who knows if that Hell Flame Demon from before is dead or not.
