Chapter 90: Desperate Counterattack

  Li Wenjun's entry point into the river was not far from the waterfall, and before Liu Zhuyun could catch up, he was swept away by the turbulent water from the mouth of the waterfall.

  The force of the river water was very great, Li Wenjun was completely out of control, unable to control himself. He desperately used his light body technique, trying to find a place to land. His chances of turning over were slim, and if he really fell straight into the pool below the waterfall, he would only wait for death.

  Perhaps Li Wenjun was not destined to die, and as he fell, he found that in the middle of the waterfall there was a rock, which seemed to pierce through the waterfall, revealing a head. However, the rock was not on Li Wenjun's falling trajectory.

  Li Wenjun used his wits in the emergency, using a knife to pry open the bundle of goods on his shoulder, and with great force, he threw the bundle outwards. Borrowing the strength from throwing the bundle, Li Wenjun employed his light body technique, making a turn in mid-air, and pounced towards that boulder.

  That rock had been battered by the waterfall for years, and its surface was very smooth. Li Wenjun's right foot landed on it first, and his foot slipped, almost falling off the rock. He hastily inserted the dragon head goose feather knife into the rock behind the waterfall, barely stabilizing his body.

  Li Wenjun let out a breath of relief, hiding behind the waterfall's curtain, his body tightly pressed against the stone wall, waiting for an opportunity to turn defeat into victory. As for how big this opportunity was, he had no idea in his heart, perhaps it was negligible, or perhaps the thread of life he was waiting for was hidden here.

  Li Wenjun had just hidden, and Liu Zhiyun came chasing after him. He saw with his own eyes that Li Wenjun was washed away by the river water down the waterfall. He wanted to check on Li Wenjun's life or death at the first opportunity, but it so happened that the effect of his Wind Symbol was about to disappear again. The clever Liu Zhiyun changed his Wind Symbol before flying over the river, and his action was very quick, only delaying for three to five breaths.

  Liu Zhiyun flew to the top of the waterfall and looked down along the waterfall. At a glance, he saw the floating storage package in the pool below the waterfall. However, when he searched carefully again, he couldn't find any trace of Li Wenjun.

  Liu Zhiyun's mind was suddenly filled with doubts, as this shouldn't be happening according to normal logic. A storage pouch is a cultivator's foundation, and unless it's absolutely necessary to discard it, no one would easily abandon it. Li Wenjun was a loose cultivator, living a hard life, and someone who valued their belongings at the cost of thousands of taels wouldn't easily discard their storage pouch either. But why could he only see the storage pouch but not Li Wenjun?

  Liu Zhiyun soon thought that Li Wenjun might be hiding and waiting for a chance to strike back. However, Liu Zhiyun quickly denied this inference, as Li Wenjun was so heavily injured, he would only seek opportunities to find a place to hide well, it's hard for him to think of counterattacking the enemy.

  It seems that Liu Zhiyun still reminded himself to be careful, he first took a copper-headed iron arm symbol on his body, putting his own body in a relatively good state, and then he threw a few ice cone symbols into the middle of the waterfall.

  A sharp icicle pierced through the waterfall's curtain, behind which there was complete silence. Li Wenjun, hiding there, was hit by another icicle, but he gritted his teeth and forcibly endured the piercing pain.

  Liu Zhiyun confirmed that there was no danger, and he slowly flew down from the waterfall mouth towards the pond below. Most of his attention was focused on the trees, shrubs, and rocks around the pond, as Li Wenjun could only be hiding in these locations. Thinking about killing Li Wenjun and then possessing his cultivation methods or treasures, Liu Zhiyun's eyes lit up.

  Wait until his own cultivation realm makes a rapid breakthrough, who in the school of watchmen would still dare to mock him, or look down on him.

  Just as Liu Zhiyun was enjoying himself, he suddenly heard a faint splashing sound coming from behind him, as if something had hit the water's surface. The sound was very weak and was hidden in the roar of the waterfall, making it difficult for him to judge where the sound came from at first. He subconsciously glanced towards the pool.

  There was no movement in the water pool, Liu Zhiyun secretly said it was not good, he just wanted to turn around and take a look when Li Wenjun jumped out from behind the waterfall and pounced on him, tightly hugging him from behind.

  Li Wenjun's remaining mana was not much, he put all his remaining mana into the Dragon Head Goose Feather Knife, instantly stimulating the knife's edge, then together with the knife and its edge, stabbed towards Liu Zhiyun's back.

  But soon Li Wenjun was disappointed, the dragon head goose feather knife couldn't pierce into Liu Zhiyun's back heart. The copper headed iron armed talisman used by Liu Zhiyun was a high-quality talisman, not comparable to the one used by Jiang Shan, with better defensive effects, let alone that Li Wenjun at this moment was basically at the end of his strength, his combat power had decreased greatly, and it was even more impossible to pierce through the protection brought by the copper headed iron armed talisman.

  Liu Zhiyun was tightly locked by Li Wenjun, and he couldn't even use the talisman to hit Li Wenjun. Even if he wanted to turn his body around, he couldn't do it. Liu Zhiyun used his elbow to exert force against Li Wenjun, and after barely freeing himself from the tight spot, he added more strength to his elbow, striking Li Wenjun's chest.

  Li Wenjun was injured and coughed up blood.

  This won't do. Li Wenjun was enraged, the Dragon Head Goose Feather Knife was useless, so he used his hand. He casually threw away the Dragon Head Goose Feather Knife, raised his palm high, gathered the tiny bit of internal energy within his body, and slapped it towards Liu Zhiyun's head.

  The power gathered in his palm was physical strength, and it didn't disappear with the loss of his spiritual energy. When he slapped Liu Zhiyun's head, Liu Zhiyun was shocked, and suddenly felt dizzy.

  The head is one of the most vulnerable organs in the human body, and even with the protection of a copper-headed iron arm, it still fears violent impacts and slaps. This kind of attack is different from the chopping, hacking, and stabbing of weapons, and the copper-headed iron arm can only dispel part of it, not completely eliminate it.

  Li Wenjun saw the effect and suddenly came to his senses. He recklessly and continuously slapped Liu Zhiyun's head, sometimes not waiting for a reaction, he directly used his own head to collide with Liu's. As for whether his own head would be smashed, it was no longer something Li Wenjun considered in his frenzied state.

  He didn't seize the only opportunity to kill Liu Zhiyun, so what awaited him was death. Li Wenjun didn't want to die, so he wanted to use every means possible to quickly eliminate this great enemy whose overall strength far surpassed his own.
