Chapter 91: Snatching the Symbolic Bag

  This chapter is supplementary to yesterday's.

  ※

  Li Wenjun pounced on Liu Zhiyun's body, attacking him while the two were in mid-air. Although Liu Zhiyun had the Clear Wind Seal formed by his legs supporting him, the seal's endurance was limited. Supporting one person was no problem, but supporting two people would be a different story.

  Two people were spinning and falling down, although the speed of the fall was relatively slow, far slower than freefall, but dropping into the pool of water below the waterfall, it would probably take no more than a hundred or two breaths.

  Once they fell into the water, Li Wenjun couldn't guarantee that he could still hold Liu Zhiyun tightly. After all, at the moment of falling into the water, the water would have an impact on them, and maybe it could blow them apart. Even if it couldn't blow them apart, the water would form buoyancy and resistance, which would have a huge negative impact on Li Wenjun's continued attack on Liu Zhiyun.

  Of course, the most deadly thing is that the water in the pond can drown people to death. Li Wenjun found hope to kill Liu Zhiyun, but did not think about dying together with Liu Zhiyun.

  Liu Zhiyun didn't have Li Wenjun's spirit of staking his life, but he also realized that if he fell into the water, he might be able to shake off Li Wenjun's control. As long as the two of them could separate, he had ways to toy with Li Wenjun to death.

  When Li Wenjun found that he couldn't shake off Li Wenjun's arm, Li Wenjun continued to attack his head like a rogue. At this time, Liu Zhiyun made a correct decision. He covered his head with one hand and endured the dizziness, forcing the clear wind under his feet to rush towards the pond with both of them.

  "You scoundrel, Li Wenjun! I've cultivated for so many years and have never met anyone as shameless and despicable as you. To think that someone like you has appeared in the cultivation world is truly a shame to our community. You want to play dirty tricks? Fine, I'll play along with you. Let's see who can outdo each other in shamelessness. When we both fall into the water pool and separate, just wait and see how I'll deal with you."

  Liu Zhiyun was also furious and became inarticulate.

  Li Wenjun found that the two fell faster, and hurriedly accelerated his attack on Liu Zhiyun. However, Liu Zhiyun had a defensive shield formed by the Copper Head Iron Arm Symbol, which although could not provide effective and thorough protection for Liu Zhiyun's head, still existed. His attacks on Liu Zhiyun's head were weakened by more than half.

  If it weren't for this, relying on Li Wenjun's palm strength that can crack open the stone tablet, he would have smashed Liu Zhiyun's head to pieces long ago.

  Li Wenjun is fast, Liu Zhiyuan is even faster.

  Li Wenjun had to use one hand to hold onto Liu Zhiyun, preventing him from being thrown off. Therefore, he could only attack Liu Zhiyun with one hand, and at most add his head to the mix. However, after colliding heads several times, Li Wenjun became dizzy and started bleeding profusely. Unlike Liu Zhiyun who had the protection of the Copper Head Iron Arm symbol, Li Wenjun's right hand remained his main attacking force.

  In contrast, Liu Zhiyun's two hands were not tied up. After adapting to the initial brief confusion, his two arms blocked Li Wenjun's speed and accuracy, making more than half of Li Wenjun's attacks on his head empty.

  To be honest, if Liu Zhiyuan hadn't neglected his physical training, and had paid as much attention to improving his physical condition as Li Wenjun did, it's possible that Li Wenjun wouldn't have been able to pose a threat to him for such a long time.

  If it weren't for the protection of the copper-headed iron arm symbol, Liu Zhiyun's two arms would have been snapped by Li Wenjun long ago. He realized that competing with Li Wenjun in brute force, he would only end up at a disadvantage, and after the effect of the copper-headed iron arm symbol wore off, not to mention his two arms, even his head might be smashed by Li Wenjun.

  Liu Zhiyun hastily put more than half of his thoughts into controlling the Wind Symbol, as long as he could enter the pool water earlier, he would be able to regain the upper hand, and perhaps only one Fireball Symbol would be enough to send Li Wenjun to the afterlife.

  Under Li Wenjun's persistent efforts, the two people got closer and closer to the surface of the water in the pond.

  In the blink of an eye, the two had already arrived at the surface of the pond, with only three or four feet of straight-line distance from the water's surface. As long as he added a bit more strength, Liu Zhongyun would be able to drag Li Wenjun into the water. At that time, the sky and earth would turn upside down, and the sun and moon would move in reverse. He could then kill Li Wenjun with ease, just like slaughtering a chicken or a pig.

  However, joy begets sorrow. Just as the two were about to fall into the pool of water, Liu Zhongyun heard a "pa" sound, his body suddenly felt light, and Li Wenjun actually actively fell off from his body, taking the lead, and landed in the water first.

  Liu Zhiyun's heart skipped a beat. Although he had just met Li Wenjun for the first time today, and their fight hadn't lasted even as long as it takes to burn an incense stick, he discovered that Li Wenjun was absolutely not someone who would easily admit defeat. Following normal reasoning, no matter what, Li Wenjun wouldn't voluntarily let him go; most likely, even if they fell into the water, he would still tightly grasp him and drag him down to perish together.

  How could Li Wenjun have let go?

  Liu Zhiyun suddenly remembered the "bang" he heard earlier, and his heart skipped a beat. He hastily patted himself down, and instantly let out a mournful cry like someone wailing for their parents. "Li Wenjun, you shameless little thief, return my talisman pouch to me!"

  Li Wenjun adjusted his strategy immediately after discovering that the hope of killing Liu Zhiyun by relying on physical strength became slim. Why Liu Zhiyun could suppress him was not because Liu Zhiyun himself was so fierce, but because Liu Zhiyun carried a large number of talismans. If the talismans were removed, Liu Zhiyun would fight with real swords and guns, and it's uncertain whether he could beat Li Wenjun.

  It was only natural that Li Wenjun thought of pulling Liu Zhiyun down to the same level as him, and the method was obvious - to snatch away Liu Zhiyun's talisman bag. Every time Liu Zhiyun attacked him, he would grab a handful from the talisman bag, a detail that Li Wenjun had noticed long ago.

  Li Wenjun took advantage of Liu Zhiyun's focus on protecting his head and dragging him down to grab the opportunity, and just before falling into the water, he snatched the talisman bag.

  As for the nature of this behavior, whether it counts as stealing or robbing, Li Wenjun doesn't care at all. Talking about morality with the enemy, his brain hasn't become muddled to that extent yet.

  Li Wenjun stuffed the talisman bag into his bosom, released Liu Zhuyun's hand from the pincers, and took a step forward into the water, diving into the depths of the pool. Earlier, he had thrown the Dragon Head Goose Feather Knife into the pool, and now he wanted to retrieve it. As long as he had the knife in his hand, he would have enough confidence to kill Liu Zhuyun.

  The pool under the waterfall is not very large and the water depth is limited, all the river water rushing down flows out from the east side of the pool.
