Chapter 87: A Great Disparity in Strength

  Li Wenjun was one hundred percent certain that he did not know this middle-aged Taoist who had appeared out of nowhere, but the other party called out his name in one breath, and the possibility of mistaken identity was very small.

  Li Wenjun reacted quickly, swiftly drawing out his Dragon Head Goose Feather Knife, being cautious as he asked: "Friend, I don't recognize you, I don't recall having any grudges with you. Have you mistaken me for someone else?"

  The middle-aged Taoist snorted and said, "Li Wenjun, don't bother denying it. To be honest with you, I came from Sanshan County, a month ago, I entered the mountain, searching for you everywhere, didn't expect you to hide in this remote corner. Now that I've found you, it's easy, I'll use your head to make an offering to my nephew's spirit in heaven."

  "Which of your nephews is it? Is there some misunderstanding here?" Li Wenjun was using every available moment to delay the outbreak of the fight, so that when he entered a fighting state, he could meet his enemy in the most vigorous condition.

  The middle-aged Taoist didn't know whether he was underestimating the situation or thought he could control everything, but he didn't see through Li Wenjun's little trick. He said coldly: "I'll make you a ghost who understands. More than a month ago, my nephew and his entourage passed through Sanshan County, they didn't provoke you or offend you, yet you harbored evil intentions and killed them all.

  My nephew is the most beloved child of my father and sister, they were all in unbearable pain when they learned that you had killed my nephew. As a son and brother, I naturally want to share their worries and eliminate anyone who dares to harm our family members from this world.

  "Li Wenjun, remember this for your grandfather. Your grandfather's full name is Liu Zhiyun. When you arrive at the underworld, be sure to report your grandfather's name to King Yanluo. Li Wenjun, go die."

  Before Liu Zhiyun's voice had fallen, he and Li Wenjun almost simultaneously took action. A four or five foot long knife blade chopped out from Li Wenjun's side, while Liu Zhiyun shook his hand and shot out over a dozen fireballs.

  Li Wenjun was startled and didn't even have time to see the effect of the knife's slash, he hastily jumped up and quickly escaped from where he was originally standing.

  The gap between our strengths is too great, Li Wenjun can only cast one fireball at most each time, while Liu Zhiyun can cast more than a dozen fireballs, what kind of concept is this?

  Li Wenjun spread his legs and ran, leaving the green hills behind. He wasn't afraid of not having firewood to burn. Knowing he couldn't win against others, he still stayed here to fight to the death. Either he had a problem with his brain or he was possessed by evil spirits. This kind of foolish thing, Li Wenjun wouldn't do.

  "You're quick to react, but do you think you can escape from my grasp with just your lightweight skills?" Liu Zhiyun sneered and took out two talismans, slapping them on his legs. His feet lifted off the ground as a gust of wind appeared beneath him, sending him flying into the air in an instant. The clear breeze carried him forward at incredible speed, chasing after Li Wenjun.

  Li Wenjun escaped very far and turned back to see Liu Zhiyun not only closely following behind him, but also flying in the sky. This situation made Li Wenjun suddenly feel unprecedented despair, the gap between them was really too big, how could he fight?

  But despair begets despair, Li Wenjun did not intend to surrender. No matter who wanted to kill him, he would make the other party pay a price, no matter who wanted to bite him, he would knock out two of his front teeth.

  Li Wenjun didn't slow down, continuing to flee forward at an extremely fast speed. As he ran, he thought about how he could use his weakness to defeat the strong, and at least leave Liu Zhiyun with something to think about.

  Liu Zhiyun flew in the sky, his speed far surpassing Li Wenjun's running on the ground. In no time at all, Liu Zhiyun was almost catching up to Li Wenjun. He smiled slyly in mid-air and said, "Not bad, Li Wenjun, you've cultivated your light body technique to such an extent that you can run faster than a rabbit. However, no matter how fast you run, you'll still end up in the underworld, accompanying my nephew. I'm a compassionate person who doesn't like to get stained with blood, so I'll use a civilized method to kill you. Keep running, run faster, and even faster!"

  Liu Zhiyun shook his hand, and two huge fireballs roared towards Li Wenjun.

  Li Wenjun was shocked and had no choice but to speed up, barely dodging Liu Zhiyun's attack.

  Liu Zhiyun let out a sickly laugh and his hands didn't stop moving as he continuously threw out multiple fireballs.

  This time, Liu Zhiyun was careless for a moment and revealed a flaw, allowing Li Wenjun to catch him.

  Li Wenjun was frantic and didn't care about anything when he first started running wildly. After a while, in order to be able to understand the distance between him and Liu Zhiyun at any time, Li Wenjun used the dragon-headed goose feather knife that had been held in his hand all along.

  The blade of the Longshou Yanling knife is extremely smooth and flat, very smooth, may not be comparable to a mirror, but it can also play the role of a mirror.

  When Liu Zhiyun launched multiple fireballs to attack him, Li Wenjun noticed a detail through the reflection on his knife. The fireballs that Liu Zhiyun threw out were not triggered by his own spiritual power, but were triggered by a stack of yellow talismans.

  These yellow papers with red characters on them are just like the ones Jiang Shan used before. They must be talismans.

  With this judgment, Li Wenjun's panicked heart suddenly calmed down. This is not to say that Li Wenjun thought Liu Zhiyun was no longer a threat to his life, but rather he didn't want to feel that Liu Zhiyun was overwhelmingly powerful again like before.

  A cultivator's powerful magic can instantly ignite multiple fireballs, and relying on talismans to ignite multiple fireballs are two completely different concepts. The former's power is unquestionable, while the latter's power appears much more diluted, with a lot of water added.

  Of course, the talisman was also powerful enough to kill people, but after all, it was not as unshakeable as the power of law. Compared with each other, Li Wenjun saw a glimmer of hope.

  Li Wenjun's mind was racing, and he thought of the fireball triggered by the talisman, and then thought of Liu Zhiyun's ability to fly. Was this also an ability that Liu Zhiyun had temporarily triggered with the talisman? If so, perhaps he could make use of it, and find a glimmer of hope in it.

  If the ability to fly is triggered by talismans, then there must be a duration here. As long as the effect expires, Liu Zhiyun will have to replace new flight talismans. At that time, maybe it's his chance.

  Li Wenjun was pondering Liu Zhiyun, and Liu Zhiyun was also pondering Li Wenjun. If at first Liu Zhiyun was looking for Li Wenjun to avenge the death of San Gongzi, then after seeing Li Wenjun, Liu Zhiyun's thoughts underwent great changes.

  With this change, Liu Zhiyun's determination to kill Li Wenjun became even more resolute. He made up his mind that no matter what, he would take down Li Wenjun and absolutely not let him escape.
