Chapter 89: A Narrow Escape

  "Ghost!" Li Wenjun and Liu Zhiyun almost shouted out in unison.

  Liu Zhiyun did not expect that Li Wenjun, who had been fleeing from him in a flurry, would dare to sneak back and launch a surprise attack on him. What's more, this knife was simply too ruthless, its power so great that it threatened his very life. If it weren't for the Jade Symbol he had purchased at great cost, which automatically protected its master, Li Wenjun's knife might have split him in two.

  Li Wenjun did not expect that the inevitable sword would be blocked. What was the deal with that jade symbol? How could it automatically shatter and actively protect Liu Zhiyun? How many more things were there in this damned cultivation world that he didn't know about?

  One sword was not enough to achieve success, Li Wenjun knew he had stirred up a hornet's nest. He didn't even think about whether he should seize the opportunity to strike again. Without any hesitation, he turned around, used his light body technique, and ran away with all his might.

  Liu Zhiyun's face turned red with rage, his eyes bulging out of their sockets. He bellowed: "Li Wenjun, you bastard! How dare you launch a sneak attack on me? I'll make sure you die a terrible death!"

  He patted the new Wind Chasing Symbol on his leg and rose into the air again, chasing after Li Wenjun at the fastest speed. Li Wenjun's sword also made his somewhat swollen head clear up, Li Wenjun was not a mouse, he was not a cat either, if he still had the psychology of playing with mice, to cruelly kill Li Wenjun, in the end, he would be overturned by Li Wenjun and never be able to turn over again.

  With a playful heart gone, Liu Zhongyun suddenly became extremely terrifying. He was not comparable to Li Wenjun, who had received systematic Xian training, with guidance from his master, and he himself was a talisman master, having cultivated for over 20 years, accumulating a large number of talismans. When he got serious, he had an overwhelming advantage over Li Wenjun.

  A large number of talismans such as fireball talisman, ice cone talisman and falling rock talisman were activated by Liu Zhiyun and covered the sky to smash Li Wenjun.

  Li Wenjun gathered all the remaining spiritual energy in his body, and activated the Light Body Technique to its limit. He didn't dare run in a straight line, sometimes turning left, sometimes right, sometimes jumping up and down, thinking of ways to increase Liu Zhiyun's difficulty in hitting him.

  However, human strength is sometimes exhausted. Facing Liu Zhiyun's relentless barrage of talismans, Li Wenjun couldn't dodge them all and was inevitably hit.

  Li Wenjun had no choice but to make a difficult decision, he focused on avoiding fire attribute attacks, he used the fireball technique to burn people more than once, knowing how terrible this fireball symbol was, if it wasn't extinguished with a good method, people would be burned alive. In comparison, falling stone symbols and ice cone symbols were not that terrifying.

  Under his deliberate evasion, Li Wenjun was never hit by the fireballs triggered by the Fireball Talisman, but both the Rockfall Talisman and the Ice Thorn Talisman left their marks on him.

  A rock the size of a bowl fell from the sky and hit him on his lower back, leaving it bruised. If this falling rock had been slightly heavier or fallen at a slightly different angle, his spine might have been broken.

  The damage caused by the falling rock was still bearable, but in comparison, the ice spear's effect on him was fatal. The sharp ice spear formed by the ice spear symbol had pierced through his right thigh from behind, creating a penetrating wound.

  If it were just multiple holes in the thigh, bleeding a little, it wouldn't be a big deal. The problem is that the ice pick caused frostbite on Li Wenjun's thigh in an extremely short period of time, almost in the blink of an eye, his right leg became numb, stiff, and cold, losing all sensation. This was extremely serious for Li Wenjun, who had been running wildly just before.

  Li Wenjun was still in mid-air when he landed the quadruple axel, and at that moment he wasn't quite sure. When he fell to the ground and tried to use his right leg to gain momentum, it didn't listen to him and he couldn't get the force he wanted. Instead, with a loud thud, he heavily fell to the ground.

  Liu Zhiyun's pursuit was imminent, and more than a dozen fireball talismans came crashing down, forming a terrifying rain of fire.

  Li Wenjun rolled and crawled on the ground, barely avoiding this fatal blow.

  "Li Wenjun, you've fallen for my Ice Thorn Symbol, now you're a crippled rabbit, let's see how you can escape from my palm!" Liu Zhiyun said coldly.

  Sitting and waiting for death is not Li Wenjun's style, he forcibly picked up a breath of air, re-launched the light body technique, and continued to rush forward wildly. In the past when he borrowed strength, it was basically all done with his right foot, now his right foot was no longer listening to commands, so he had to switch to using his left foot. As a result, the speed at which he ran inevitably suffered, and the distance between Liu Zhiyun and him grew closer and closer.

  Li Wenjun's face showed a desperate expression again, his overall strength was originally inferior to Liu Zhiyun, and now he had suffered such a serious injury, it was likely that he would lose his life in Wufeng Mountain.

  Li Wenjun didn't want to die, but sometimes it's not that you don't want to die and you can live on. What he wants to do most now is how to bite Liu Zhiyun hard before he dies. Even if it means cutting off one of Liu Zhiyun's arms, he thinks it's worth it even if Liu Zhiyun kills him.

  Just then, Li Wenjun faintly heard the rumbling sound of water, which sounded like the sound of a waterfall falling from a high place and hitting the rocks.

  Li Wenjun's eyes lit up again in despair, and he suddenly remembered that when he was searching for herbs all over Wufeng Mountain, he had discovered a hidden waterfall deep in the mountains of Wufeng. The waterfall had a drop of about thirty zhang, with a waterway about three zhang wide, and the current was very rapid.

  A plan to turn the tables suddenly took shape in Li Wenjun's mind. Whether it would succeed or not, he had no time to think about it carefully. Now it was a matter of making a dead horse into a living one, and whether it succeeded or not, he had to take the gamble. If he failed, he would just consider it fate that he should have this calamity, and after eighteen years, he would be a good man again. If he succeeded, naturally he would escape with his life, and all would be well.

  Li Wenjun turned his head towards the waterfall and ran over, Liu Zhiyun didn't hear the sound of the waterfall, but in his opinion, Li Wenjun was already dead, don't think about turning over again. Of course, Liu Zhiyun wouldn't make the same mistake as before, he accelerated his pursuit of Li Wenjun, as long as he killed Li Wenjun, everything would be over.

  Li Wenjun struggled to climb over a hill, and saw a turbulent river stretching out before his eyes. Li Wenjun took a deep breath and jumped directly into the river.

  The turbulent river water wrapped around Li Wenjun, rushing downstream, and not far away was the waterfall. Li Wenjun moved his hands and feet to avoid drowning in the river, while keeping his eyes wide open, constantly paying attention to his surroundings, searching for a glimmer of hope to escape.
