Chapter 129: A Desperate Strike
As Li Menghu made that hand gesture, countless water vapors churned and instantly transformed into ice cones.
"Go!" He gestured with his hand, and countless ice spikes rained down on Kuang Liming.
Kuang Liming felt a chill run down his spine. With a flick of his hand, he immediately threw out a second-tier 'Great Flame Burst' talisman.
The talisman flew out and immediately exploded as it approached the ice spike.
At the same time, he moved his body and flew to the side at lightning speed.
boom!
With a deafening roar, the fiery talisman exploded, unleashing an immense and powerful burst of flame magic, shattering the ice spikes into pieces.
However, Li Menghu seemed to have anticipated this, and with a flash, he disappeared from his spot and leaped into the sky.
Immediately, he made a hand gesture, and countless ice spikes rained down on Kuang Liming.
Not only that, but two more tornadoes formed from the condensed water elemental energy on either side of Li Menghu were also sweeping towards Kuang Liming.
In haste, Kuang Liming had no choice but to summon a crimson bell to shield himself.
Clang!
The falling ice spikes even caused cracks to appear in the defensive light shield evolved from the Crimson Gold Bell.
Then, two water jets swept in, one from the left and one from the right, squeezing Kuang Liming in the middle.
A terrifying squeezing force caused his crimson-gold bell to shatter.
Then, the waterspout swept towards Kuang Liming and engulfed him.
The waterspout churned, its immense power squeezing Kuang Liming's meridians until they ruptured, causing him to cough up blood.
"No..." Then, Kuang Liming's body was squeezed and burst open. He cried out and died.
Only tattered cloth remained falling from the sky.
There were also remains.
With a flick of his hand, Li Menghu sent Kuang Liming's storage bag, enveloped in water elemental energy, flying into his seemingly transparent palm.
"Third brother..."
"Third brother..." Upon seeing this, Kuang Xiong and Kuang Guang felt a chill run down their spines.
However, after killing Kuang Liming, Li Menghu's eyes lit up and locked onto Kuang Xiong.
"This is bad..." Upon seeing this, Kuang Xiong felt a chill run down his spine and immediately shouted, "Brother, the situation is dire, we must retreat!"
Kuang Xiong was already injured by Li Changyan's self-destruction attack, and now he is at a disadvantage in dealing with Li Shoujiang, and is in danger of dying at any time.
If Li Menghu, whose magical power is even greater, were added to the mix, he would most likely be seriously injured and die within three rounds.
Therefore, after shouting loudly, Kuang Xiong, with a resolute expression, threw three fire explosion talismans at Li Shoujiang.
At the same time, he activated "Golden Bell Shield" talismans, which evolved into multiple Golden Bell Shields that overlapped on his body.
After doing all this, Kuang Xiong's body flashed, transforming into a gust of wind, and he retreated at lightning speed.
boom!
The fire talisman exploded, and all of Li Shoujiang's spells collapsed.
The vast energy fluctuations swept in like a raging storm, and Li Shoujiang's body retreated rapidly.
Taking advantage of the opportunity, Kuang Xiong had already escaped several hundred meters away.
On the other side, Kuang Guang felt a chill in his heart and immediately summoned a series of "Flame Burst Talismans" and some "Mysterious Fiend Wind Blade" talismans, attacking Li Fengyue and Li Gongshang. At the same time, he also used the spell "Mysterious Fiend Hurricane" to create two huge tornadoes.
It swept towards Li Fengyue and Li Gongshang.
Under this ferocious offensive, Li Fengyue and Li Gongshang retreated.
Kuang Guang seized the opportunity to retreat rapidly, also managing to escape several hundred meters away.
He and Kuang Xiong met, exchanged a glance, and then flew swiftly towards the outer lake of Yunmeng Lake.
Faced with the sudden appearance of these four Li family elders, Kuang Guang dared not linger.
Especially Li Fengyue and Li Menghu, their magical powers are too powerful.
It has already surpassed the Great Perfection of Foundation Establishment and is almost approaching the Core Formation Real Person level!
If he were to be besieged by these two, and after all his trump cards were revealed and his magical power was exhausted, Kuang Guang would perish here.
Sensing danger, he naturally dared not linger.
Even the fact that Kwong Lap-ming had perished here fueled his rage.
As a Foundation Establishment cultivator, he naturally knew that staying alive was more important than anything else.
Acting rashly out of momentary courage will only lead to one's own demise, bringing pain to loved ones and joy to enemies.
Kuang Guang and Kuang Xiong fled, and the other two late-stage Qi Refining cultivators from Xuan Yin Valley also escaped at lightning speed.
For a time, Earth Flame Island returned to peace.
The four patriarchs of the Li family arrived from the sky, looked into the distance, and did not pursue them.
"These two are injured, so they probably won't dare to attack Yunmeng Lake anytime soon!" Li Fengyue said, his gaze fixed intently ahead.
Those whispers were actually Yang Jiuli's.
He was simultaneously controlling the spirits of four Foundation Establishment cultivators, which consumed a great deal of his mental energy and made it impossible for him to continue fighting.
This attack killed a Foundation Establishment cultivator and scared away two others, which can be considered as achieving the expected results.
"The cultivators from Xuan Yin Valley have retreated!" Li Feiyu murmured as if in a dream, seeing the cultivators from Xuan Yin Valley retreat in fright.
"They've retreated?" Li Yourong was still in shock.
She was just a breath away from being crushed by Kuang Guang's Xuan Sha Hand.
The aura of death still lingered in her mind, making it difficult for her to calm down.
After muttering a sentence, Li Yourong looked at the four patriarchs standing proudly in the air in front of her.
"My ancestor..." Li Yourong murmured, looking at the ancestor in front of her as if in a dream, in disbelief.
"Our ancestor is mighty! Our ancestor is mighty!"
"Our ancestor is mighty!"
"Haha, my ancestor Li has appeared! Let's see who dares to invade now!"
"Anyone who offends the Li family, no matter how far away, will be punished!"
At this moment, some cultivators from the Li clan on Earth Flame Island shouted.
The elderly people were moved to tears.
"Our ancestors are mighty! May the Li family last for thousands of years and its lineage endure forever!" Li Wannian knelt on the ground and shouted to the ancestors.
"Our ancestor is mighty! May the Li family endure for thousands of years, its legacy immortal!"
Immediately, many members of the Li clan knelt down, kowtowed to the elders, and shouted to boost morale.
"Great Ancestor!" Li Feiyu landed on the ground, knelt down and kowtowed, worshipping the Ancestor in the sky with utmost devotion.
If it weren't for the patriarch's intervention, he would have been killed as well.
Li Yourong also landed on a wide open space and bowed.
On Earth Flame Island, the remaining members of the Li clan knelt down and paid their respects, their voices echoing in all directions.
In the air, Yang Jiuli's divine sense stirred slightly. He controlled several Li clan ancestors to turn around and then look at the many juniors.
He wanted to say something.
And then he didn't say much more.
Then, Yang Jiuli controlled Li Fengyue to slightly extend his hand, signaling everyone to rise.
"Ancestor... is the Ancestor giving a signal?" someone shouted, their face full of excitement.
"Is he telling us to get up?" someone whispered.
"No, he seems to be telling us to be strong and stop crying!" someone said.
"You... can you read this too?"
"Didn't you see the other elders' indifferent expressions? They're clearly looking down on us!"
"..."
……
Li Fengyue and the others didn't say much. After confirming that Kuang Liming and the others were far away, they turned into a ray of light and disappeared.
Meanwhile, Kuang Guang, Kuang Xiong, and the others had already fled.
Even the Qi Refining cultivators, including Kuang Yun, received the signal and immediately retreated.
……
The spirits of several Li family ancestors have disappeared.
At this moment, underground on Hanlu Island.
Inside the ice room.
Within Lin Feng's sea of consciousness.
Within the long river of time that evolved from the Three Lives Stone, a whirlpool stirred, and the heroic spirits of the four Li clan ancestors manifested.
There was a storage bag in Li Menghu's palm.
This is from Kwong Lap-ming.
After leaving behind the storage bag, Li Menghu's body turned into specks of light and disappeared into the long river of time.
The spirits of Li Fengyue, Li Gongshang, and Li Shoujiang all faded away in the long river of time after their light was exhausted.
As for the coffins of these Li family ancestors, he had already instructed the Xuanyu Python to return them to their proper places.
In this way, when the Li clan members went to check, there would be no abnormalities.
Naturally, no one would associate this matter with Yang Jiuli.
In this way, he can better conceal his strength and avoid being targeted by Foundation Establishment cultivators.
"A Foundation Establishment cultivator's storage bag..."
With a thought, Yang Jiuli sent Kuang Liming's storage bag flying out of his mind and landing in his palm.
With a thought, he opened the storage bag, and the contents flew out and hovered in the air.
There are thirteen second-tier talismans among them.
Three bottles of second-tier pills.
The three items are low-grade second-tier spiritual artifacts: a "Mystic Wind Blade" and "Wind Chaser Boots".
The second-tier mid-grade spiritual weapon, "Mysterious Fiend Lock Spear".
The second-tier, mid-grade formation, "Black Flame Formation".
And one hundred and twenty mid-grade spirit stones.
There are a full eight thousand low-grade spirit stones.
"Not bad, nearly 20,000 low-grade spirit stones. If these spirit artifacts are exchanged, we can get nearly 40,000 low-grade spirit stones in return."
In this way, he obtained nearly 60,000 low-grade spirit stones as spoils.
Yang Jiuli showed a satisfied expression.
Then he looked at some jade boxes next to him.
He brushed open the jade box, revealing various medicinal herbs.
"The second-tier Xuan Yin Grass, 'Frosty Dew'..."
"The Foundation Establishment cultivators of Xuan Yin Valley have quite a few good items, but unfortunately two of them have escaped."
Yang Jiuli nodded with satisfaction at the current gains. He suddenly had the idea of taking down the other two Foundation Establishment cultivators from Xuan Yin Valley and looting them, since the current harvest was enough for him to buy Foundation Establishment Pills.
Even after reaching the Foundation Establishment stage, it is more than enough to replace spiritual artifacts.
As he whispered, Yang Jiuli flicked his hand and put the medicinal herbs into his storage bag.
As for those magical artifacts, he put them away first, and then erased the divine consciousness from them after his spiritual power recovered.
He then took a "Small Soul Essence Pill" in the cold cave to restore his depleted spiritual energy.
Half a year ago, Yang Jiuli had already refined several 'Small Soul Essence Pills' for himself in case of emergency.
……
At this moment, in the northwest area of Yunmeng Lake.
The Fu family has not yet come to their aid.
Without the support of the "Fire Gathering Spirit Array", Li Ruoyu was also unable to unleash the full power of the "Crimson Dragon Blazing Bow".
At this moment, Li Ruoyu's magical power had been depleted by eighty percent.
The Grand Elder Li Jun's magical power was reduced by ninety percent.
The Thunderwing Tiger puppet was crackling with lightning, and it had already consumed five hundred mid-grade spirit stones.
If converted into low-grade spirit stones, it would be a full 50,000.
"Li Ruoyu, you're not human!" This made Xu Huaiyi grit his teeth, feeling that it was his own spirit stones that were being wasted.
When activating the talisman attack, Xu Huaiyi added another 'Golden Spear Talisman'.
boom!
The golden bell-shaped light shield above Li Ruoyu's head was shattered by the golden spear that evolved from the 'Golden Spear Talisman'.
However, at that moment, Li Ruoyu moved his hand, and a jade bottle appeared in his palm.
A drop of "spiritual blood" enveloped in firelight flew out from inside the jade bottle.
As soon as this 'spiritual blood' appeared, a violent aura spread out.
With a flick of his hand, Li Ruoyu caused the spiritual blood to flash and directly enter the 'Crimson Dragon Blazing Bow' that was floating in front of him.
Then, three Dao flowers appeared above his head, and a powerful flame surged into the bow.
The roar of the dragon resounded throughout.
It was accompanied by a terrifying aura.
"This is the 'spiritual blood' of a near-third-tier dragon!" Upon seeing this, the faces of the four Black Wind Fiends opposite them suddenly darkened.
"This old ghost actually has such a background?" Xu Huaiyi was shocked.
They have been besieging Li Ruoyu and Li Jun for more than half an hour!
Li Ruoyu had been on the defensive, and it seemed that his magic power was about to be exhausted, making him easy prey.
Who would have thought that Li Ruoyu would reveal his trump card?
Once this near-third-tier dragon is activated, its full-force attack will be difficult for even a late-stage Foundation Establishment cultivator to withstand.
"Retreat!" Yan Jiuming's eyes flashed, and he decided to retreat temporarily.
However, just as Yan Jiuming was about to retreat, the Thunderwing Puppet in front of Li Ruoyu flapped its wings and pounced directly at him. It spewed a beam of lightning and charged towards Yan Jiuming. Powerful lightning also burst from its wings and struck Yan Wuchang and He Zizai on the left and right.
In haste, Yan Jiuming had no choice but to immediately activate the 'Black Gold Fiend Wind Gourd' and draw in the lightning beam in front of him.
The powerful beam of lightning was sucked into the gourd.
However, several bolts of lightning still struck Yan Jiuming.
Yan Jiuming had no choice but to fly to the side to dodge.
Yan Wuchang conjured a light shield to block it.
He Zizai rolled up the array flag in his hand, and a gray light screen appeared, blocking the lightning.
Just then, a dragon's roar resounded.
But then Li Ruoyu drew his bowstring, and an arrow shot through the air, carrying immense fiery power as it left the bowstring. The arrow flew through the air, and raging flames rose up, transforming into a fire dragon that pounced directly at Yan Jiuming in front of him.
Yan Jiuming moved and immediately flew backward to the side.
However, the arrow seemed to possess sentience and actually followed it.
Yan Jiuming had only flown a dozen feet away when he was caught up to. The raging flames surged up and touched his clothes.
"Black Wind Great Handprint..." In haste, Yan Jiuming rolled his hand, and a vast black evil aura condensed in his palm, transforming into a huge handprint over ten feet long, carrying fierce evil energy, and slapped it towards the fire dragon in front of him.
In the blink of an eye, the handprints formed by the dragon and the black gale collided, unleashing a shocking surge of magical power.
Under the impact of the fire dragon, the "Black Wind Handprint" developed cracks, appearing to be unable to withstand it.
In an instant, the arrow, carrying immense momentum, struck the 'Black Wind Handprint'.
boom!
A loud bang was heard.
The "Black Wind Handprint" was pierced through and shattered instantly.
The arrow, carrying raging flames, hurtled forward and struck Yan Jiuming squarely in the chest and abdomen.
The fiery dragon also struck him.
