Chapter 711: Chapter 505: One Against Three

Li Yi initially thought Good Wings had been ambushed and was already in grave danger, yet he hadn’t imagined that it was unscathed. This brought a hint of joy to his heart. He looked at Good Wings’ body, which indeed had been pierced by a sword light, with blood marks on it, but somehow, the wound healed.

He suspected it was due to the dragon bloodline.

Being a mutant beast from the Wilderness combined with the dragon bloodline seemed to have brought many incredible changes to Good Wings. Even just considering the recovery ability was astonishing.

"Good Wings, if you’re fine, first take the Golden Apple to the Golden Academy. Don’t linger here; I’ll handle these three Nascent Soul cultivators," Li Yi spoke at this moment.

Good Wings looked at Li Yi and then at the three people opposite. After a brief hesitation, it immediately nodded, then shook its wings again, weaving around the people in front and flew towards the distance.

Seeing this, the female Nascent Soul cultivator immediately wanted to strike and continue to intercept Good Wings, unwilling to let it leave.

"Qin Mei, junior sister, stop! Let the mutant beast leave. Our target is this Li Yi, not that beast. It’s better if it goes, at least we can reduce some pressure. Otherwise, during the conflict, that beast may entangle someone among us, leading to disadvantage and causing variables," the man in brocade clothing transmitted his Divine Sense voice.

Qin Mei, the female Nascent Soul cultivator, immediately halted and gave up the pursuit of Good Wings.

Li Yi squinted slightly, his silver pupils staring at the three. If they were to attack Good Wings again, it would be their doom.

"You all have quite the courage, daring to intercept the mutant beast I raise in Tianchang City, my hometown. Aren’t you afraid of provoking a powerful foe, dying with soul extinguished?" He saw Good Wings had already flown away, so he no longer held back and immediately rebuked.

"Friend, you’re mistaken. Right now, the airspace of Tianchang City has been taken over by our Floating Immortal Island, with approval from your investigation bureau. That mutant beast was passing through our territory on the Floating Immortal Island, which triggered the Island Protection Array and the Green Light Sword Array. It’s already a minor punishment that the mutant beast didn’t die from one strike,"

The man in brocade clothing approached with folded arms, his gaze coldly piercing, "I advise you, earthling, not to be ignorant. Considering your short cultivation and evolution, unfamiliar with worldly affairs, we can make an exception and spare you today. But if you remain stubborn, I’ll kill those from your investigation bureau without a word."

Li Yi’s silver pupils moved slightly, "A mere Nascent Soul cultivator dares to be so arrogant? Did your Floating Immortal Island’s occupancy of Tianchang City go through my approval? I see you’re deliberately seeking trouble. However, I’m not unreasonable. I can give you a chance: disperse your cultivation today, I’ll pretend nothing happened, and you can keep your lives, re-enter the Immortal Path. Otherwise, you won’t survive tonight."

With murderous intent, he stepped forward, and his silver Qi-Blood transformed into flames soaring into the sky, instantly illuminating the night’s sky. Under the majestic pressure, nearby tall buildings couldn’t withstand it and started to crack.

"Such audacity, a Spirit Power Realm Evolver dares to be so brazen! If we weren’t considering friendship between realms, today we’d have killed you for sure," the middle-aged man bellowed suddenly, similarly unleashing his presence, and the Nascent Soul cultivator’s pressure enveloped the sky, determined to contend.

The other two Nascent Soul cultivators also unleashed their presence, attempting to suppress Li Yi.

They weren’t unwilling to fight, but for a moment they were unsure of Li Yi’s strength, wanting to test it with these means. If Li Yi proved to be externally strong but internally weak, they would immediately attack and slay him.

If the opponent was formidable, they would consider longer-term strategies.

After all, they had reached the Nascent Soul Realm. Without understanding the situation, they wouldn’t rashly strike, lest they accidentally face a setback and lose centuries of cultivation in a day.

Unfortunately, the pressure from the Nascent Soul cultivators had no effect on Li Yi, but instead stirred his murderous intent.

"Don’t bother probing me, just battle, and you’ll know my strength." At this moment, Li Yi’s body flickered and instantly disappeared from where he stood.

In an instant, thunder roiled in midair, and the air was torn open by a silver streak. Yet, within a breath, he was in front of the man in brocade clothing. Without any flamboyance, he raised his hand and struck with a punch. This strike contained not only silver Gang Qi but also Heart Fire Qi.

It seemed like the punch had splattered blood across the sky, dyeing half the heavens red.

The scorching aura approached, as if it would ignite a person.

The man in brocade clothing’s pupils shrunk at this moment, feeling startled. With no regard for anything else, he immediately summoned a top-grade defensive Spiritual Artifact to stand in front, not daring to meet the blow head-on.

Bang!

The thunderous roar in the sky sounded.

The next moment.

A figure flew backward like a meteor, then smashed into the ground forcefully, creating a larger pit than where Good Wings had fallen.

The man in brocade clothing was covered in dust, his face blackened, hair scorched, looking extremely out of sorts.

Fortunately, with the defensive Spiritual Artifact, he suffered no injuries.

This punch was terrifying, but Li Yi couldn’t destroy a top-tier defensive Spiritual Artifact; it’s just that the scorching Heart Fire Qi made him suffer significant loss.

"Such scorching Mana." Nearby, the middle-aged Daoist and the female Nascent Soul cultivator named Qin Mei blinked in astonishment.

With just one strike, they roughly judged Li Yi’s strength.

Absolutely not weaker than any Nascent Soul cultivator. If he had more cards up his sleeve... he was indeed a formidable foe.

"He’s different from other Spirit Power Realm Evolvers, with horrifying, scorching Mana." At this moment, the man in brocade clothing was both surprised and angry. Looking at Li Yi, he no longer held the previous arrogance, only an unspeakable caution. If today’s matters were not handled well, he might really fall here.

He surged his Mana, cleared the dust, and took to the sky once more, clutching a top-grade Spiritual Artifact Flying Sword, staring intently at Li Yi.

"Indeed, Nascent Soul cultivator is extraordinary, able to react in such a manner. If it were a Golden Core cultivator, I would have already dealt with it," Li Yi, stepping on clouds, standing firm in the sky, immovable. He extended his hand, "You all attack together; perhaps you’ll have a chance of defeating me. If you queue up to die, you’ll definitely die unjustly."

"Arrogant!" The man in brocade clothing shouted suddenly, "Instigating conflict, collapsing Tianchang City, leading to tens of thousands, hundreds of thousands of civilians dying, can you bear such responsibility?"

At this moment, he felt somewhat uncertain.

This Li Yi dared to challenge three Nascent Soul cultivators alone, suggesting either sheer folly or genuine capability.

And naturally, he wouldn’t think that this Li Yi was not in his right mind, so there was only one answer.

"Are you threatening me?" Li Yi stared at him and said.

"I’m stating facts. The three of us Nascent Soul cultivators haven’t taken action not because we’re afraid of you, but out of concern that mana might affect innocent people, so we’ve been very restrained. But you, aggressive as you are, don’t care at all about the lives of the common folk in the city. Truly, you’re innately evil." The man in brocade scolded.

"If you want to fight, fine, then come to the Floating Immortal Island. It’s a Treasure. Fighting there won’t harm a single citizen in the city."

He then changed his tone, trying to lure Li Yi to the Floating Immortal Island.

Once up on the island, with the Island Protection Array activated, this Li Yi would undoubtedly die.

"Indeed, if you want to fight, come to the Floating Immortal Island. If you don’t dare, then don’t act fiercely here." The middle-aged Daoist also immediately said, clearly intending to cooperate with the man in brocade to provoke Li Yi.

Li Yi, at this moment, coldly said, "There’s no rush to go to the island. Killing the three of you first and then heading to the Floating Immortal Island won’t be too late. But your words did remind me—in fighting here, it’s inevitable to involve the innocent."

With that, he flipped his palm, and a Xuanhuang Seal appeared in his hand.

At this moment, the Xuanhuang Seal flickered with infinite brilliance, emitting a dazzling Treasure light.

In the Cosmic Energy-abundant Earth, as this Dao Artifact gradually recovered, it began to resemble its peak state.

"Go!"

With a wave of his hand, the Xuanhuang Seal flew out, lowering talismans.

"Not good."

Seeing such a Treasure, the three of them understood that today spelled trouble. In terror, they almost simultaneously flew in three different directions, attempting to quickly distance themselves from Li Yi, hoping to escape today’s battle and find a chance to trouble Li Yi another day.

However, it was already too late to leave now.

The top-tier Dao Artifact Xuanhuang Seal’s power revealed itself, its descending talismans enveloping all directions, resembling a cage that trapped the three of them and Li Yi inside.

"Go!"

The man in brocade was shocked and furious. He controlled his flying sword, channeling mana, trying to cleave a corner of the Formation and escape from there.

But in the next moment.

The Mid Grade Spiritual Artifact flying sword collided with a talisman, unable to destroy even a bit. Instead, the flying sword was instantly hit by a Divine Light burst from the talisman and shattered instantly.

"How could this be?" The man in brocade suffered mental harm, his body trembling. Fortunately, as a Nascent Soul cultivator, he could endure such a minor injury, yet he was shocked.

A Mid Grade Spiritual Artifact flying sword shattered upon touching a talisman.

"Damn it, this is a Treasure, at least Treasure Level." The man in brocade shouted, "The Formation is complete. We can’t escape now. Senior Brother, Junior Sister, join forces with me, kill this person, and fight for a chance of survival."

With these words.

That middle-aged Daoist and the Nascent Soul female cultivator named Qin Mei turned pale, but quickly gritted their teeth, revealing their defensive Spiritual Artifacts, drawing their flying swords, horsetail whisk, and other top-tier attack Spiritual Artifacts, ready to join forces to fight the enemy.

The people of Xuanxian Continent, although cunning and sly, would fight to the death when cornered without full assurance.

However, Li Yi would not show leniency.

"Call Wind!"

He took a deep breath, swallowing the Heaven and Earth Qi. This time, he operated the Metal Qi from his lungs.

Exhaling, the sky-high wind transformed into golden streams of light that surged forth densely, sharp and ferocious, slicing everything in their path.

Under the execution of this top-tier Daoist Skill, the three Nascent Soul cultivators were instantly terrified.

Unable to afford to act, they could only do everything to defend.

However, Li Yi’s Metal Qi had been tempered by Heart Fire Qi, making it difficult for Nascent Soul cultivators without a Treasure to withstand.

The middle-aged Daoist wielded a horsetail whisk, sweeping the golden rain, his Daoist robe billowing, revealing a defensive Array, and unleashing his mana like money was no object, thinking he could resist the dense golden light. But in just a moment, his defensive Array was pierced with several tiny holes.

The golden light then penetrated his body, cutting through flesh and bone, causing him to wail in pain.

Just a slight break in defense, and one of his arms was torn to pieces in an instant.

But he couldn’t afford to feel pain; he had to fight desperately or face certain death.

The man in brocade fared a little better. He summoned two defensive Spiritual Artifacts, surrounding himself airtight. Although the Call Wind Skill was terrifying, it couldn’t directly destroy two Mid Grade Spiritual Artifacts.

Listening to the dense crashing sounds, his heart pounded in fear, worried that his defensive Spiritual Artifacts would be pierced next.

Yet, fortunately, he ultimately withstood the ordeal without incident.
