Chapter 70: With a heavy sword pressing down, Li Xuan is forced to retreat for the first time.
The broken stone mouth was full of ash.
The dust and smoke from the stones hadn't yet dissipated, and the air was filled with the smells of earth and blood, making one's throat tighten.
⸻
Li Yuanshan stood beside the beast-drawn carriage.
Shortness of breath.
The blood on his face hadn't been wiped off yet.
⸻
He used to think that "murder" was a very distant concept.
Like something out of a story.
⸻
But that last moment...
The moment hot blood sprayed onto my face—
Only then did he truly understand.
⸻
So that's what happens when a person dies.
It wasn't quiet.
⸻
His stomach was still churning.
But there was no time left for him to suffer.
⸻
Because of the tall man in front.
The entire atmosphere was brought under control.
⸻
"This person... is too strong."
Li Yuanshan swallowed hard.
⸻
He could even feel it.
Even the air felt a little heavier.
⸻
the other side.
Li Xuan has regained his footing.
⸻
The impact had left his right arm slightly numb.
⸻
Aoki's finger was blocked head-on for the first time.
⸻
It's not a matter of skill.
⸻
Yes--
power.
⸻
The other party's spiritual power was much stronger than that of the people they had encountered before.
Like a wall.
⸻
"Peak of the sixth level of Qi Refining..."
Li Xuan quickly made a mental assessment.
⸻
It's probably just one step away from the seventh floor.
⸻
and--
This person is clearly on a ruthless killing spree.
⸻
Extremely strong explosive power.
⸻
A head-on confrontation.
It's a huge loss.
⸻
The tall man slowly raised his knife.
The blade is very wide.
There were still a few dried bloodstains on it.
⸻
He looked at Li Xuan.
His gaze gradually turned cold.
⸻
"That thing you just did."
He grinned.
⸻
"It hurts quite a bit."
⸻
Li Xuan did not respond.
⸻
I simply adjusted my breathing slowly.
⸻
He's calculating.
⸻
Calculate the distance.
Calculate the rhythm.
Calculate the opponent's attack habits.
⸻
Such people.
We cannot force it.
⸻
Once it's suppressed.
They would be smashed to death with one blow after another.
⸻
Chen He had already positioned himself behind Li Xuan.
⸻
"I'll drag it."
He said in a low voice.
⸻
Li Xuan glanced at him.
⸻
Chen He's forehead was already beaded with sweat.
His breathing was heavier than before.
⸻
Those last few waves took a toll on him.
⸻
Now, if we continue to confront this person head-on—
very dangerous.
⸻
"no."
Li Xuan directly rejected it.
⸻
Chen He frowned.
⸻
"What should we do then?"
⸻
Li Xuan stared at the other person.
⸻
"He's fast."
⸻
"But it doesn't work."
⸻
These words startled Chen He.
⸻
He subconsciously looked at the tall man again.
⸻
The other party stood very firmly.
It looks like a mountain.
⸻
but--
Turning around slowly.
⸻
Sheathing the knife is also slow.
⸻
"You want to go around in circles?"
Chen He asked in a low voice.
⸻
Li Xuan nodded.
⸻
"Don't engage him in a direct confrontation."
⸻
Chen He remained silent for a moment.
⸻
"I understand."
⸻
the other side.
The tall man was already getting impatient.
⸻
"Are you done talking?"
⸻
He slung the heavy sword over his shoulder.
⸻
"We're done talking—"
⸻
"Let's continue."
⸻
The words had barely left his mouth!
⸻
boom!
⸻
He took a step forward!
⸻
The ground was blown open, leaving a layer of ash!
⸻
He looked like a bear charging down a mountain!
⸻
A powerful sweeping strike!
⸻
It wasn't a chop!
⸻
Smash it!
⸻
Chen He's expression changed drastically!
⸻
"Disperse!"
⸻
The guards retreated instantly!
⸻
boom! ! !
⸻
A gust of wind swept by!
⸻
A rock about half a person's height next to it shattered instantly!
⸻
Gravel flew everywhere!
⸻
Li Yuanshan was so frightened that his scalp tingled.
⸻
"Is this even human?!"
⸻
He instinctively took a step back.
⸻
But it stopped again very quickly.
⸻
Because he knew—
It's no use canceling it yourself.
⸻
Li Xuan has already made his move.
⸻
There is no hard stop.
⸻
Lateral incision!
⸻
His body slid past almost touching the blade's wind!
⸻
Aoki's finger strikes again!
⸻
Strike straight at the opponent's ribs!
⸻
The man gave a cold laugh.
⸻
He actually raised his knee!
⸻
boom!
⸻
Li Xuan pointed his finger at the side of the knee!
⸻
The spiritual energy exploded!
⸻
But the other party only flinched!
⸻
"It's blocked again!"
⸻
Li Xuan's eyes darkened slightly.
⸻
This person is not only strong.
⸻
I've also trained my body.
⸻
Ordinary Qi Refining cultivators would never be this tough.
⸻
"Is that all you've got?"
The man grinned maliciously.
⸻
The heavy sword was swung up again!
⸻
boom!
⸻
Another stab!
⸻
Li Xuan then retreated!
⸻
The blade swept across the ground!
⸻
A deep scratch was carved into the stone ground!
⸻
Smoke and dust exploded!
⸻
Chen He seized the opportunity!
⸻
Charge in from the side!
⸻
The blade flashed and slashed straight at the wrist!
⸻
"Stop!"
⸻
The man's eyes flashed with a sharp look!
⸻
The heavy sword suddenly changed direction halfway through!
⸻
clang!!!
⸻
The two swords clashed!
⸻
Chen He's arm jerked violently!
⸻
The tiger's mouth split open instantly!
⸻
Blood was flowing straight down!
⸻
"Chen He!"
Li Yuanshan lost his voice.
⸻
Chen He gritted his teeth!
⸻
"Get out of the way!"
⸻
He used the momentum to retreat!
⸻
But it was still a second too slow!
⸻
The heavy blade pressed down with the momentum!
⸻
boom!
⸻
Chen He was grazed on the shoulder!
⸻
He staggered backward!
⸻
His face turned pale instantly.
⸻
"Oh shit……"
⸻
He gritted his teeth and almost lost his balance.
⸻
Li Xuan's eyes turned cold!
⸻
A sudden forward surge!
⸻
This time—
No more orders.
⸻
Instead, they went straight for him!
⸻
The man clearly hadn't expected Li Xuan to make the first move.
⸻
"court death?"
⸻
He suddenly raised his elbow!
⸻
Li Xuan's body suddenly sank!
⸻
They cut right under the other person's armpit!
⸻
distance--
Instantly zoomed in!
⸻
Getting too close to unleash a heavy blow actually makes it harder to execute!
⸻
"What?!"
⸻
The man's expression finally changed!
⸻
Li Xuan unleashed a palm strike!
⸻
boom!
⸻
It hit him squarely in the chest!
⸻
The man let out a muffled groan!
⸻
First step back!
⸻
Although they only took half a step back.
⸻
but--
I cancelled it.
⸻
Chen He's eyes lit up!
⸻
"it works!"
⸻
Li Xuan did not pursue.
⸻
Instead, they immediately retreated!
⸻
Don't be greedy!
He murmured.
⸻
The next moment!
⸻
The man roared!
⸻
The heavy blade slammed into the ground!
⸻
boom!!!
⸻
The ground was blown apart!
⸻
Stones flying everywhere!
⸻
If we had caught up with them just now.
You're bound to get this cut!
⸻
Chen He broke out in a cold sweat instantly.
⸻
"That was close..."
⸻
The man was breathing heavily.
⸻
His eyes have completely changed.
⸻
That last moment.
He was really hurt.
⸻
He glanced down at his chest.
⸻
It's already dented a little there.
⸻
"You little rascal..."
⸻
He stared at Li Xuan.
⸻
His eyes began to look dangerous.
⸻
"Damn it."
⸻
Li Xuan remained silent.
⸻
Just adjust your breathing.
⸻
That last moment.
It wasn't without its costs.
⸻
The opponent's protective spiritual power is too strong.
⸻
When you cut in forcefully.
His arm was also numb from the shock.
⸻
"We can't delay."
⸻
He knew it very well.
⸻
Although there are quite a few people on our side.
⸻
However, his overall cultivation level is not as good as the opponent's.
⸻
Drag it on.
You'll only lose more and more money.
⸻
must--
Break the rhythm of this leader.
⸻
the other side.
Li Yuanshan was dumbfounded.
⸻
He had never seen this style of play before.
⸻
Nothing fancy.
⸻
Just
One step slower.
You will die.
⸻
Especially that close-range contact Li Xuan made just now.
⸻
He felt a chill run down his spine.
⸻
"They dare to charge in like that?"
⸻
He even had doubts.
If it were me...
⸻
I can't even take a step.
⸻
Just then.
⸻
On the slope.
Suddenly there was another noise!
⸻
Chen He's expression changed drastically!
⸻
"There are still people!"
⸻
Li Xuan suddenly looked up!
⸻
Three more figures appeared!
⸻
Rush down from the top of the slope!
⸻
And the goal—
It wasn't him.
⸻
It's a beast-drawn cart!
⸻
Li Yuanshan's pupils constricted sharply!
⸻
"It's a grey market import!"
⸻
Those three were incredibly fast!
⸻
They've clearly been waiting for this moment!
⸻
Chen He wanted to turn around!
⸻
But the tall man pressed down on him again!
⸻
"Trying to leave?"
⸻
boom!
⸻
A powerful sweeping strike!
⸻
They forced Chen He to back down!
⸻
Li Yuanshan's heart was pounding so hard it felt like it was going to explode!
⸻
"What do we do?!"
⸻
The guards rushed over to stop them!
⸻
But the other side was clearly elite!
⸻
He cleaved through the gun formation with a single strike!
⸻
Distance from the beast chariot—
Only a few steps left!
⸻
Just then.
⸻
Li Xuan suddenly moved.
⸻
It's not moving forward.
⸻
Instead, he suddenly turned around!
⸻
Speed explodes to the extreme!
⸻
"Stop him!"
The tall man roared.
⸻
But it was still too slow!
⸻
Li Xuan practically transformed into a shadow!
⸻
Instantly cut in front of the car!
⸻
Aoki's finger!
⸻
Three fingers in quick succession!
⸻
call out!call out!call out!
⸻
Three finger strikes pierced the air!
⸻
The man at the front changed his expression drastically!
⸻
He forcefully swung his knife to block!
⸻
boom!
⸻
The first line is blocked!
⸻
A second brush with someone!
⸻
The third course—
Apply it directly to the center of the forehead!
⸻
puff!
⸻
Blood exploded!
⸻
The person collapsed to the ground!
⸻
The remaining two suddenly froze!
⸻
Li Xuan is already close!
⸻
One palm!
⸻
boom!
⸻
The second person was knocked down!
⸻
The last person's expression finally changed.
⸻
"retreat!"
⸻
He roared!
⸻
He turned and ran!
⸻
Li Xuan did not pursue.
⸻
He was just standing in front of the car.
⸻
His breathing became shallow and deep.
⸻
The sleeve was cut open by the wind from the knife.
⸻
But the look in his eyes—
It's getting colder and colder.
⸻
Not far away.
⸻
That tall man.
Finally, for the first time—
He frowned.
⸻
Because he discovered it.
⸻
The young man in front of me.
⸻
More than he imagined—
Even harder to kill.
⸻
The situation in Duanshikou.
⸻
It's starting to get out of control.
