Chapter 88: Counterattack

  This chapter and last chapter are both 25th.

  ※

  Li Wenjun couldn't tell the level of Liu Zhiyun's cultivation, because he had too little experience and didn't have many opportunities to interact with other cultivators. Liu Zhiyun was different.

  Liu Zhiyun is a disciple from the authentic Xianmen School, and he entered the school to cultivate at a very young age. He came into contact with all sorts of cultivators. However, entering the school for a long time does not necessarily mean that one can achieve good cultivation results.

  Liu Zhiyun's actual age is similar to his appearance, also in his early forties, but his cultivation realm is not very high, the same as Li Wenjun, both are at the second layer of the Qi Refining stage.

  In private words among his fellow disciples, Liu Zhiyun's age has gone to the dogs. For this reason, Liu Zhiyun was often ridiculed by other fellow disciples in the sect. If it weren't for Liu Zhiyun having a unique skill in making talismans, who knows how his fellow disciples would have teased him.

  Liu Zhiyun was worried and always thinking about finding a way to quickly improve his cultivation realm. But this method is not easy to find, if it were easy to find, the cultivation world would not be dominated by low-level cultivators.

  When Liu Zhiyun saw Li Wenjun, he almost didn't spend much effort and judged Li Wenjun's cultivation realm. Before entering the mountain to find Li Wenjun, Liu Zhiyun had conducted a detailed investigation of Li Wenjun, and even went to Junbao Town specially to verify with many people. He can confirm one thing: Li Wenjun was an ordinary person before entering Sanshan County, and it wasn't until after he entered Sanshan County that he began to cultivate.

  In other words, Li Wenjun had cultivated for less than a year and reached the second layer of Qi Refining. Such speed in the cultivation world is not considered top-notch, but it's still shocking, belonging to an upper-middle level.

  To be able to reach such a cultivation speed, apart from Li Wenjun's own spiritual root being relatively good, it is more likely that Li Wenjun has obtained an extremely good cultivation method or possesses a unique treasure. If he can seize the cultivation method or treasure, wouldn't Liu Zhuyun's future cultivation become smooth sailing?

  When he thought of his fellow disciples seeing Li Wenjun's cultivation base skyrocket, the expression that emerged made Liu Zhiyun almost ecstatic. His eyes gleamed with a greedy gaze, and no matter what, he was determined to kill Li Wenjun and take Li Wenjun's skills and treasures for himself.

  Good nephew, you died a great death! It turns out that you wanted to use this method to remind your uncle to pay attention to Li Wenjun. You can rest assured and go, Uncle will definitely kill Li Wenjun and avenge you.

  Liu Zhiyun's feelings towards Li Wenjun, apart from greed and the determination to kill, also had a hint of jealousy. Comparing the two, Liu Zhiyun was born into a wealthy family and entered the immortal sect at a young age to cultivate, whereas Li Wenjun came from a humble background and had no one to guide him, yet he still managed to achieve results comparable to Liu Zhiyun's decades of bitter cultivation.

  The gap is so great, you make me proud and arrogant, but in the door, Liu Zhongyun has been ridiculed, how can he not be jealous?

  With this jealousy, Liu Zhiyun lost his mind and didn't want to let Li Wenjun die quickly, but instead wanted to torture him like a cat playing with an old mouse.

  Liu Zhiyun's specialty was making talismans, and most of the talismans in the Hou Mansion were provided by him. These talismans were extremely precious, but now they seemed to be worthless, letting Liu Zhiyun scatter them around, teasing Li Wenjun.

  Li Wenjun secretly congratulated himself, having spent almost a month going all out to catch birds and rabbits, tempering his light body technique, making his light body technique tend towards perfection. Otherwise, relying solely on the light body technique he had previously mastered, whether it was speed or agility, or even the speed of consuming spiritual power, there were great defects, and it would be easy for Liu Zhuyun to catch him.

  Li Wenjun ran desperately, while not forgetting to use the reflection of his knife to observe Liu Zhiyun's movements. He was waiting for an opportunity, waiting for a chance to kill Liu Zhiyun with one blow.

  This wasn't an easy task, Li Wenjun was escaping while preparing to counterattack, which required him to keep a certain distance from Liu Zhiyun. If the distance was too far, he wouldn't be able to observe Liu's movements; if it was too close, there wouldn't be enough reaction time, and with a few talismans thrown out by Liu, his life would be in danger.

  Li Wenjun had a kind of feeling that he was dancing on the tip of a knife, and the danger of being on the verge of death made his nerves always in a state of tension, not daring to relax for a moment.

  Opportunities are reserved for those who are prepared.

  Li Wenjun's efforts were not in vain, after crossing several hills, he found that Liu Zhiyun, who was flying in the air, was no longer stable, his body began to shake slightly, and Liu Zhiyun's face also showed some panic.

  Liu Zhiyun's use of the Wind-Defying Talisman is just like any other talismans, it has a time limit. Once the time is up, he will fall from the sky. Moreover, the special characteristic of the Wind-Defying Talisman is that it cannot be stacked, meaning he cannot stick another one on his leg when the previous one loses its effect.

  Liu Zhiyun never thought that Li Wenjun would be so cunning. Even if he wanted to torture Li Wenjun, he didn't think it would take so long. He fell to the ground and touched his talisman bag, his face changed in an instant. The talismans he had accumulated over the years were actually reduced by more than half.

  A killing intent flashed in Liu Zhiyun's eyes, this can't continue any longer, he must kill Li Wenjun as soon as possible.

  Liu Zhiyun had just made up his mind to get rid of Li Wenjun quickly, when he heard a piercing whistling sound cutting through the air. He muttered to himself that something was wrong and tried to dodge, but it was too late. A five or six foot long blade came hurtling towards him with a loud whoosh.

  Li Wenjun was always paying attention to Liu Zhiyun's movements, and as soon as he saw Liu Zhiyun fall down, he stopped fleeing, turned around, and crept towards where Liu Zhiyun had landed. Being beaten passively wasn't Li Wenjun's style; since he had the opportunity to kill Liu Zhiyun, how could he possibly give it up easily?

  The process of back and forth probing just saw the effect of Li Wenjun's bitter practice of light body technique, the sound was very small, the speed was fast, until it got very close, Li Wenjun activated a knife edge that he had obtained after getting the Dragon Head Goose Feather Knife, chopping towards Liu Zhiyun.

  Just as the blade was about to strike Liu Zhiyun, a hint of joy flashed in Li Wenjun's eyes. However, a sudden change occurred, and the jade token hanging from Liu Zhiyun's waist suddenly shattered with a loud crack, forming a semicircular shield in front of him that blocked the blade's deadly trajectory.
