Chapter 717: Chapter 511: Blockade

No one expected that the words Zhao Yunhai had spoken earlier would come true; the wanted fugitive Li Yi had indeed arrived at Feixian Sea, bringing a high-level cultivator with him through the transmission array. This meant that the Floating Immortal Island on Earth was likely to be facing dire danger, and True Man Chang Yi, who was the Vice Island Master, had indeed met with disaster?

These confirmations sent the astonished crowd into instant panic.

"What are you still standing here for? Hurry and escape." Zhao Yunhai was the first to react, shouting urgently, and without a second thought, he began burning his mana, reaching the peak of his escape light, intending to flee beyond the mountain and far overseas.

His reason for fleeing wasn’t because of Li Yi, but because of the middle-aged man in a suit standing beside Li Yi.

That man was the true terrifying expert.

However, in the next moment.

Zhao Yunhai’s escape light collided with a layer of five-colored light curtain, causing him to spew a mouthful of blood as he was forcefully rebounded back, falling heavily to the ground with his whole body trembling open, unable to stop fresh blood from spilling out.

Ignoring his injuries, he scanned with his Divine Sense, realizing the entire mountain belly was enveloped by a Five-Colored Net, impenetrable and indestructible, making escape impossible.

"Nascent Soul cultivators cannot escape the Old Taoists’ Five-Colored Net; obediently stay," said Wu the Taoist leisurely. "The folks of Floating Immortal Island on Earth acted recklessly, today it’s only fitting they face this calamity."

At this moment, Zhao Yunhai’s face sank with despair, but then a surge of immense anger rose within him, directed not towards Li Yi and Wu the Taoist, but toward Qin Lan.

"Qin Lan, you fool, I told you to destroy the transmission array to prevent enemies from crossing worlds, but you didn’t listen. Now we shall all perish here today."

"Zhao Yunhai, why panic? Even if we three Nascent Soul cultivators join forces, we may not succeed in killing these two Earth natives. You’re only concerned about running away, what a disgrace to our sect. If you truly had the courage, pick up your Spiritual Artifact and fight them," Qin Lan flashed a hint of panic in her eyes but refused to admit her mistake, instead angrily scolding Zhao Yunhai.

"You’re so capable, you go fight, that Li Yi is not as simple as you think," Zhao Yunhai laughed in anger.

Qin Lan sneered, "You’re not a man at all, always knowing how to shrink back when facing trouble. In the end, you let a woman like me take action. So be it. Let’s show these natives the power of us cultivators."

Finished speaking, her eyes turned to the opponent, "Are you the naturally evil Li Yi? Do you know you’ve crossed boundaries? If you choose to leave quickly today, I can spare your life. If you insist on battle, you will incite conflicts between two worlds; it will inevitably lead to the immortal of Feixian Sea descending, leaving you to eternal damnation."

"No wonder the transmission array wasn’t destroyed, you had internal discord," Li Yi finally understood why he and Wu the Taoist could successfully transmit here, the opposing opinions on the other side almost led them to fight. And thus they seized the opportunity.

He was lucky he moved quickly; if delayed a moment longer, further complications might have arisen.

Upon hearing the words of this female Nascent Soul cultivator.

Li Yi’s expression became unusual.

"What did you say? I’m naturally evil? Who’s spreading rumors everywhere? The first time I transmitted to Xuanxian Continent, I was slandered? You Xuanxian Continent people are truly treacherous, placing your bases in other people’s cities, using millions of lives as leverage, making others hesitant to act against you."

"I came today precisely to settle this matter."

He was instantly furious, even before acting, being slandered and reputations ruined.

"Demon, stop your excuses, if you have courage, dare to duel me? If I win, you obediently leave, if you win, you may kill or cut me as you wish," Qin Lan spoke again, possessing some cunning, knowing not to provoke the middle-aged man covered in Five-Colored Qi, the only way to break the situation was a one-on-one duel with Li Yi.

Moreover, judging from Li Yi’s aura, she felt she had a strong chance of winning.

But as soon as she spoke, Zhao Yunhai beside her couldn’t help but spew a mouthful of old blood.

Duel Li Yi?

Could it be Qin Lan was deaf just now, not hearing that Li Yi singlehandedly slayed three Nascent Soul cultivators, her alluring junior sister Qin Mei being slain by his Magic Treasure without even a remnant?

"Wait, could Qin Lan be stalling for time?" Suddenly, Zhao Yunhai realized.

Duel was certainly not winnable, but stalling for time was different, they’ve already used the golden sword to send a message out, Island Master will soon arrive personally, though not necessarily solving the current predicament, yet if things escalate, it might draw even more powerful cultivators to intervene, thus a chance may arise.

"Let’s treat a dead horse like a live one," Although desperate, Zhao Yunhai secretly hoped for a miracle.

"Duel? Why the hell would I duel? You treacherous beings shall die today," Li Yi, filled with a stomach of anger, was even more furious hearing about the duel.

These Xuanxian Continent cultivators, dueling meant cheating and deception, hardly any fairness, and why would he waste time dueling these people?

"Call Wind!"

Li Yi unleashed his mana, channeling Heart Fire Qi, performing Daoist Skill, fully unleashing Wind Summoning Technique, just exhaling a breath, this immense mountain belly became instantly shrouded in terrifying Heart Fire Qi, originally cool places now transformed into a fiery hell, all present undergoing scorching.

"Ah!"

A scream erupted, Heart Fire Qi infiltrating people’s Xuanfu penetrating their bodies, indeed leaving no gaps, igniting organs and incinerating Golden Core, Nascent Soul, extremely domineering, bodies untouched by flames already burnt out internally, thus those killed by Wind Summoning Technique often burn from inside out, finally turning to ashes.

"Help me, I don’t want to die."

"My Golden Core is being scorched, the pain is killing me."

Moans echoed endlessly, in just an instant, cultivators below Nascent Soul Stage were entirely burnt to death, leaving no remains.

"Combine forces to resist, this spell is too fierce." Zhao Yunhai shouted, revealing a top-grade defense Spiritual Artifact, quickly pulling Du Zhong to gather beside Qin Lan, attempting with their combined power to withstand that Wind Summoning Technique trick.

Mana recklessly surged.

Various defense Spiritual Artifacts, hidden cards, were fully utilized.

```

If they can’t withstand this blow, all three of them are doomed.

"What spell is this?"

Qin Lan was somewhat panicked at this moment. She had just accidentally taken a breath, and a wave of heat entered her belly, causing her to feel as if her internal organs were melting instantly. Her Nascent Soul was flushed red, almost ready to self-immolate.

Fortunately, she quickly sealed herself off and took out a defensive Spiritual Artifact, which made her feel slightly better.

However, the entire mountain belly was engulfed in flames. The fire couldn’t get out, and neither could they. If they didn’t find a solution, they’d be roasted alive within moments.

"Acting so recklessly, isn’t he afraid of backlash from this tyrannical spell?" Du Zhong was shocked and angry.

Backlash?

Zhao Yunhai smiled bitterly. The opponent was no fool; how could they let their spell backlash?

In fact, the situation was just as Zhao Yunhai thought.

The next moment, Li Yi emerged from the depths of the fire sea, his foot on a red cloud. Surrounding flames intertwined without him fearing a bit, even absorbing a considerable amount of Heart Fire Qi into his body.

Ridiculous.

How could the top Daoist skills of the Cultivation World have such a significant flaw to backlash themselves? The Heart Fire Qi he summoned is Li Yi’s own essence, sharing the same root as his breath. Not only does it not harm him, he can also swallow the Heart Fire Qi again to reduce mana consumption.

Watching Li Yi walk out of the sea of flames, the three were instantly horrified.

"Give up struggling. I’ll send you on your way now." Li Yi’s expression was cold as the Xuanhuang Seal in his hand suddenly flew out, intending to annihilate the three Nascent Soul cultivators.

With just Daoist skills, he couldn’t kill Nascent Soul cultivators quickly. But adding a top-tier Dao Artifact, that’s another matter.

The Xuanhuang Seal attacked.

Everyone could feel the terrifying power bursting forth.

"Ah!"

Qin Lan screamed in terror and quickly gave up resisting, transforming into an escape light, and diving into a sea of flames.

"Bastard." Seeing this, Zhao Yunhai was instantly enraged, spitting out a mouthful of blood.

The three of them had a slight chance if they joined forces. You ran away directly, didn’t that mean you sold out yourself and Du Zhong?

But it was too late.

With one hit, the Xuanhuang Seal easily shattered their protective Spiritual Artifact. With the loud breakage of the artifact, their bodies exploded immediately, covered by surrounding Heart Fire Qi, turning to ash under the scorching heat.

"I am unwilling."

The next moment, a broken Nascent Soul, engulfed in flames and filled with strong unwillingness and rage, tried to break out, attempting one last effort. But to no avail, it completely burned out in mid-air and disappeared.

The two Nascent Soul cultivators died tragically without any resistance.

"Spare me, big brother, please spare me. I’ll serve you as a slave for life if you let me go, and I can guide you, tell you about the sect disciples, help you avoid the Island Protection Array..."

In the sea of flames, Qin Lan, an exhausted female Nascent Soul cultivator, couldn’t bear the Heart Fire Qi, realizing she couldn’t escape. She immediately resorted to the old traditions of Xuanxian Continent, kneeling and begging Li Yi for mercy, hoping to live.

"Again with the servant talk, my ears are getting callous. Go die quickly." Li Yi shouted, raising a hand to send a fiercely burning Sword Gang flying out.

This strike wasn’t strong.

But it was fast enough. With the female Nascent Soul cultivator in a state of mental breakdown and without resistance, the strike instantly split her in two. Surrounding Heart Fire Qi immediately enveloped her, igniting her.

Screams echoed.

But just moments passed and they calmed again. Under the Wind Summoning Technique, they could only turn to ash, disappearing without even retaining their souls.

Wu the Taoist squinted his eyes. He didn’t act; these people were to be used for Taiyi’s practice. He only needed to prevent them from escaping.

After slaughtering the enemies near the Transmission Array, Li Yi’s heart blood’s time had come. He suddenly weakened, unable to maintain himself, and fell from mid-air, feeling powerless all over.

But he didn’t die.

Because he had eaten a Golden Apple, resisting the side effects of the heart blood.

However, despite having no worries about dying, the backlash persisted.

"Taiyi, you need to rest a bit. Go back to Earth first. We’ll deal with this later," Wu the Taoist quickly walked over and said.

"I’ll kill the people of Floating Immortal Island first before leaving. My state isn’t severe enough to prevent me from acting." Li Yi ate a Kui Dragon Pill, and his body began to recover rapidly. But he still needed days to fully recuperate.

Wu the Taoist didn’t advise further, only responding based on Taiyi’s lead.

"Opponents are coming." Suddenly, sensing the Heaven and Earth Qi, he detected several strong presences headed directly towards this place.
