Chapter 17: Da Luo Arrives, Life Hanging by a Thread

  After making preparations, Li Yi stood quietly on a cliff, the cold wind blowing up her black hair, which was disheveled and scattered.

  Suddenly, Li Yi's eyes narrowed, gazing at the three swift streams of light rapidly approaching from afar. The corners of his mouth slightly curved upwards, flashing a hint of cold smile, "Finally arrived".

  Three streaks of light stopped in front of Li Yi, revealing three figures wearing golden Daoist robes. Without thinking, it was clear that they were high-ranking experts sent by King Jine of the Eternal Sacred Dynasty.

  An old man with green eyes, a middle-aged man with three horns on his head, and a one-eyed monster with a gloomy face. All three are peak Golden Immortal strongmen, and at first glance, it's clear that they're not ordinary Golden Immortal strongmen, but rather the true giants among the Golden Immortals.

  In fact, with the status of these three people in the Eternal Sacred Dynasty, even the Golden Eagle King cannot easily move them. They also disdain to come and snatch Li Yi's congenital spiritual treasure. Each of them has a congenital spiritual treasure with extremely powerful power. With their status and foundation, as long as they are promoted to Daluo Jinxian, they will naturally have top-grade congenital spiritual treasures. After all, although the top-grade congenital spiritual treasures are rare, for a huge organization like the Eternal Sacred Dynasty, it is still possible to take out more than ten pieces.

  However, the condition promised by King Golden Eagle was too tempting, and for the Golden Immortal cultivators, this condition was more precious than a top-grade Primordial Spirit Treasure by at least ten thousand times, making it impossible for them to refuse.

  Jin Ying Wang surprisingly agreed to them that as long as they killed Li Yi, he would use his original source to perform the law for ten years, which is a rare opportunity. It's worth noting that Dali represents a state of mind, and it can't be cultivated or comprehended through practice. If one understands it, they understand it; if not, then not. However, if a powerful Dali Jinxian master is willing to expend their original source to perform the law, there might be a chance to gain insight into something useful from the fluctuations of the original source's power, and perhaps even break through to the Dali Jinxian realm immediately.

  In fact, almost no Mahayana Golden Immortal is willing to do so. Firstly, this will cause a certain amount of damage to the original source, and secondly, it may reveal the weaknesses of one's own Taoist methods. Therefore, even if they are close relatives by blood, they rarely do so, because the original source is extremely important for any cultivator. Even if King Golden Eagle has only practiced his skills for ten years, it would take at least tens of thousands of years to make up for it. Moreover, no one wants to reveal their weaknesses, not fearing ten thousand, but fearing one in ten thousand.

  Jin Ying Wang went all out to kill Li Yi, but if Li Yi had secretly killed Jin Shi, Jin Ying Wang wouldn't have made such a big fuss. After all, Jin Ying Wang has dozens of grandsons, not just Jin Shi. With his power and status, it wouldn't be difficult for him to cultivate a few more. But the problem is that Li Yi is too famous, and with Jin Shi's death, many people know that Jin Ying Wang's grandson was killed, which is a slap in the face.

  Now many of the great Luo Jinxian are probably watching him make a fool of himself, you say he won't take revenge? The more powerful someone is, the more they value their reputation. After all, there aren't many things that they care about anymore. Otherwise, wouldn't they be afraid to personally take action against a Xuanxian and be laughed at by other great Luo Jinxians? King Jinying probably wants to tear Li Yi alive too.

  "Sword maniac, you're a genius, but the most abundant thing in the vast wilderness is genius. You've gone too far," said the middle-aged man with three horns on his head, who had some appreciation for Li Yi, but this didn't hinder his determination to kill him at all.

  "Why so much nonsense, just kill him quickly", the gloomy one-eyed man said discontentedly. He couldn't wait to go watch Jin'e Wang perform his law, what time did he have to waste here chattering away.

  The old man with green eyes didn't want to wait anymore either, "Let's get started together."

  Three single-horned middle-aged men and a one-eyed monster nodded their heads, from start to finish they never considered the issue of one-on-one.

  They are all exceptionally talented individuals who have also had many experiences of killing people beyond their level, and they know that some people's combat strength cannot be simply limited by their realm. Moreover, looking at Li Yi's twenty years of experience, it is absolutely not much weaker than theirs. If they are not careful, they may fall into a big trap here.

  The higher the cultivator's boundary, the more they cherish their lives. They are all just one step away from attaining the Great Luo Golden Immortal position and roaming freely in the heavens and earth, and absolutely do not want to take risks here.

  So as soon as the old man with green eyes finished speaking, all three of them immediately made their killing moves, without any probing or testing, and sought to kill each other in one blow.

  "Annihilating Slash", a green-eyed old man suddenly appeared in the air with a huge knife aura emitting a chilly breath.

  "Golden Horn Reaches the Sky", a triangular middle-aged man, behind him appeared a virtual shadow of a hundred-foot-tall golden single-horned beast on his head, a desolate and ancient aura emanated from the shadow, just looking at it you can tell that this move has earth-shattering power.

  The one-eyed monster silently emitted a dazzling green light, and as the green light passed by, the void was corroded and torn apart, making a "zizi" sound that made people's scalp numb.

  Three people attacked from three directions, surrounding Li Yi tightly. This was simply forcing Li Yi to go head-to-head with them. They had long known that Li Yi's speed was extremely fast and had decided on this strategy early on, leaving no room for Li Yi's speed to be utilized. Three against one, they had the upper hand from the start.

  Li Yi was more severe than ever before, and these three people were much harder to deal with than the Golden Immortals he had encountered before. Not only were their own strengths powerful, but they were also extremely cautious and chose to use a nearly unbeatable method of three against one without hesitation, making them quite formidable.

  Feeling the massive spiritual energy fluctuations coming from three directions, Li Yi's body continuously injected a large amount of killing intent into the Qinglian ancient sword. "Infinite Sword Light", Li Yi unhesitatingly used the defensive technique with the highest defense among the six sword styles, and instantly, infinite light swords burst out from his body. From afar, Li Yi looked like a silver-white sun.

  Under the coercion of the four-post super-high spiritual pressure, all living things within a hundred miles were reduced to dust, and the mountain where Li Yi was located was like wind erosion, disappearing into nothingness. The entire sky presented black, gold, blue, and white colors, and earth-shaking sounds came from this area.

  "Boom...", the four great killers collided, a massive shockwave swept around, one by one, towering mountains thousands of meters high collapsed, the cloud layer above was pierced, forming a huge cloud ring, underground lake water surged back, and a drizzle started to fall...

  Li Yi knelt on one knee, his left hand pressed against the upper right chest, fresh blood seeping out from between his fingers, a deep gash visible to the bone on his left thigh, and countless other wounds.

  The three green-eyed old men were much better off, although they had also suffered some injuries, but it did not affect their combat effectiveness.

  In fact, the three of them are still shaken to this day. They had already lifted Li Yi very high, but unexpectedly underestimated him. Under their trio's ultimate move, he actually managed to survive, something they themselves thought was impossible.

  Actually, Li Yi's situation was very bad at this time. His killing power had only a quarter left, and his body was severely injured. If it weren't for Li Yi's extremely strong willpower, he would have fainted long ago.

  "It's no use, I've reached my limit," Li Yi said, withstanding several more attacks. "Cough...cough", Li Yi spat out blood as he frantically retreated.

  But Li Yi, who was seriously injured, how could he break through the siege of three people? Looking at the three people attacking again, "Desperate, 'Qinglian Yizhong Shijie'", Li Yi used his ultimate sword technique.

  It's not that Li Yi didn't want to use this move early on, but every time he used it, he almost exhausted his killing power. If the opponent didn't die, he would be in a terrible state himself, but now he had no choice but to use it in this desperate situation.

  Li Yi gritted his teeth and made this move, his nerves stretched to the limit. In a moment of life and death, Li Yi's potential burst forth, and scenes of slaughter flashed through his mind. The silver-white killing intent in his dantian suddenly transformed into pure black killing intent.

  Li Yi Fu's mind stirred, the ancient sword's trajectory subtly changed, and huge, dark, strange lotus flowers appeared in the sky, all growing on a twisted vine, ferociously attacking the three. The old man with green eyes suddenly felt a pang of despair, hopelessly staring at the murderous aura of the strange lotus.

  "Little thief, you dare!", a flash of golden light suddenly broke through the dark lotus, Li Yi was greatly shocked.

  Only to see a palm pressing against his chest, Li Yi was unable to dodge, and with a flash of cold light in his eyes, he spat out a drop of essence blood. With one hand pinching the seal, a nine-colored pagoda emitting an overwhelming aura flew towards the direction of the palm, then quickly burned the essence blood, turning into a crimson streamer that flew away without looking back.

  "Hmm", an old man with a head full of golden hair was standing beside the three middle-aged men in the triangle, with a faint trace of blood at the corner of his mouth. This was King Golden Eagle.

  At this moment, King Jinying's face was darker than ever. Not only did he make a move, but he also let Li Yi escape. He didn't expect Li Yi to be so formidable, and the three Golden Immortals he sent out were almost killed, forcing him to take action himself. After all, these three Golden Immortals were the foundation of the Holy Dynasty after its fall, and if they fell here, he would also have to bear a great responsibility. Moreover, he didn't expect Li Yi's soul attack to be so sharp, and he even burned his own blood essence to escape while King Jinying's soul was shaken.

  The infuriated Golden Eagle King immediately released his divine sense, sweeping across 300,000 miles. "Hm, no one's there, how could they run so fast?"

  At this time, Li Yi was lying at the bottom of a deep pit, with the bodies of various ferocious beasts piled up above him. Li Yi's body surface was also covered with a thin layer of killing intent, which was one of the uses he discovered when studying killing intent. By combining the residual killing thoughts scattered on the surrounding beast corpses, it could confuse the divine sense's search. Li Yi had used this method to evade pursuit dozens of times.

  "Hmph, there must be some spiritual treasure hiding the aura," King Golden Eagle muttered, "But to think that this can avoid the search of Mahārāja Jinxiān, that's too naive."

  After finishing speaking, King Jinying closed his eyes and his soul appeared in the River of Fate, constantly calculating everything about Li Yi. Suddenly, a pair of cold, ruthless, and emotionless silver pupils gazed at King Jinying, disregarding the barriers of time and space. King Jinying was greatly shocked, feeling an endless chill in his heart, and at this moment, he felt like an insignificant ant.

  "Pffft", in reality, Jin Ying Wang suddenly spat out a mouthful of blood. The green-eyed old man and others standing around him were shocked, not knowing what had happened to Jin Ying Wang.

  "Returning to the imperial court," Golden Eagle King said, opening his eyes and addressing the three people beside him. He didn't understand what kind of relationship the owner of those eyes had with Li Yi, but he dared to chase and kill Li Yi, that person was really too terrifying, probably even Swallowing Heaven Old Ancestor wasn't a match for him.

  Four rays of light quickly disappeared on the horizon.
