Chapter 113: Walking into the Trap
The corpse moths that thrived in the land of blood energy and the tidal wave of corpse aura were no ordinary insects. Li Hui finally got his chance. A deafening roar came from behind as Xia Qinghou unleashed the full power of his treasure, yelling, “You little survivor of the Jade Symbol Sect, your struggles are futile! No matter how many corpse moths there are, they can’t touch a Condensed Essence practitioner!”
Indeed, they couldn’t touch him; he only needed to slow him down. Li Hui landed on the ground, gathering speed as he prepared to escape.
All his training in Ideal Body maximized its purpose—he was indeed faster than an ordinary mid-Gather Spirit practitioner and could effortlessly slide past obstacles and tunnel turns.
This escape lasted half a stick of incense. Before Li Hui could relax, a terrifying aura rushed toward him.
“Still can’t shake him off?”
Using spirit talismans consumed little of his spiritual energy, but activating the Ideal Body required additional reserves. It was at this moment that the disadvantage of his low cultivation became apparent, forcing him to chew on alchemy supplies.
If the alchemy supplies he consumed hadn’t been concentrated and of high quality, he wouldn’t have been able to sustain the energy. Even so, Li Hui felt close to collapsing as he crashed into an extremely perilous blood energy zone.
“You’re looking for death!” Xia Qinghou frowned slightly; even he found this land of blood energy tricky. It seemed the little survivor from the Jade Symbol Sect had resigned himself to death, running around like a headless fly.
As Li Hui plunged into the blood energy, he felt a curve in his back spin around. His speed not only didn’t falter but increased to an unbelievable level, allowing him to slightly part the blood energy, creating an opportunity to escape by the skin of his teeth.
“What?!” Xia Qinghou was shocked, suddenly realizing, “This kid has a secret; he must be captured and interrogated!”
In an instant, Xia Qinghou resumed his chase, shaking the mirror shield in his hand to create a blinding light, rumbling as it pushed aside the blood energy. The energy expenditure was enormous, nearly causing him to spit blood.
The brilliance of the Ideal Body lay in its freedom to traverse dangers and formations. Today, it unexpectedly shone bright, and even someone as strong as Xia Qinghou couldn’t help but feel covetous, intensifying his desire to pursue.
For the first time, Li Hui realized the true power of a Condensed Essence practitioner; they were unbeatable. If he didn’t have so many artifacts to showcase, he feared he would have been squashed at first glance.
One fled, and the other pursued. Li Hui was fortunate to have already determined his route. Whenever he encountered danger, he could rely on the terrain and hazardous areas to escape, encountering a massive swarm of demonic flame blood bats along the way. He nearly relied on the Nine Heads to shake them off, but ultimately fell short. This old fool roared like a wild dog and lunged at him again.
Ahead lay a blood lake; even the magical dragon eyes couldn’t reveal its depths, and with no place left to run, he had only a few concentrated Dew Pills left to represent his last ounce of strength.
It was do-or-die, and hope was dwindling!!!
“Brat, why aren’t you running anymore? You should really escape!” As Xia Qinghou reached the lakeside, being a true disciple, he had faced countless dangers while chasing and was struggling himself. His power had dropped by seventy percent, and the elemental energy within him had been drained heavily.
“No way to run; I can only fight for a quick death,” Li Hui said as he released nine heads from his bag of treasures, taking out one artifact after another wrapped up like rice dumplings. He smiled slightly, “Thanks to my sect, I possess nine Myriad Form Purple Absolute God Symbols. You can certainly try to kill me, but capturing me? Never! I refuse to be a captive.”
“What are you talking about? The Myriad Form Purple Absolute God Symbols?” Xia Qinghou’s face twisted in disbelief. Even while chasing him this far, he couldn’t touch Li Hui. But judging by his eyes, the kid wasn’t lying.
“Ha ha ha, with so many talisman methods from the Jade Symbol Sect stored in my head, do you think I would let others pry into them?” As he spoke, Li Hui’s brows twitched slightly as he glanced toward a massive rock’s shimmering shadow to the left.
“Brat, stop playing tricks,” Xia Qinghou took a step forward, when suddenly he heard someone behind him say, “That’s right! Our countless generations of effort from the Jade Symbol Sect will not be easily sullied by others.”
“Not good!” Xia Qinghou’s face went pale; he hadn’t even realized when someone had approached him from behind.
“Li Hui, you truly surprise me every time!” Amid the rumbling, someone praised him as glowing artifacts collided, with light refracting from talismans.
The blood lake surged with giant waves as Li Hui hurriedly dodged sideways. He saw two figures suddenly unite and separate again, with Xia Qinghou roaring, “In the Late Condensed Essence stage, are you Yang Jueyu from the Jade Symbol Sect? Did you plan this to kill me?”
“Yang Jueyu?” Li Hui shrank back, hastily trying to escape as roaring laughter echoed behind him. “Ha ha ha, you’re mistaken; it’s purely a lovely surprise! You’re having so much trouble chasing down a small outer disciple from the Jade Symbol Sect? Seems I need to replenish some strength today.”
“Jade Symbol survivor, even if I die, I won’t let you off!” The two clashed again, but Yang Jueyu had the upper hand, teasingly saying, “Junior brother, why are you in such a hurry to leave? We still haven’t caught up yet!”
“Senior brother, you carry on. I won’t disturb you!” Li Hui rushed off, having stored the Yin-Yang Nine Heads back into his bag of treasures. He sensed a foreboding wind behind him. He quickly plunged both hands into his bag of treasures to raise two Ice Tooth Shields as fast as possible.
“Crack!”
The first Ice Tooth Shield shattered, and the artifacts fell apart.
“Crack!”
Just moments later, the second Ice Tooth Shield met the same fate as the first.
From behind came a massive pair of scissors, and Li Hui quickly realized that his shields were useless. He gritted his teeth and decided to use the Wutu Rock Mountain Seal.
“Seal, seal, seal…”
Li Hui shouted, and the Wutu Rock Mountain Seal unleashed great power, with countless stone mountain phantoms crashing down, causing the giant scissors to make clanking noises.
Yang Jueyu had clearly heard about the Myriad Form Purple Absolute God Symbols within him and still dared to attack. This couldn’t be simple. He had a strong intuition that he could not stay; if he fell into the opponent’s hands, not even a mutual destruction would be possible.
Run! He must run! Quickly!
Li Hui decisively detonated the Wutu Rock Mountain Seal, the most powerful artifact he had seen so far, and the only one capable of slightly suppressing a Condensed Essence Stage practitioner.
Seizing this moment to escape was crucial; any hesitation would cost him his life.
It must be said that Li Hui was top-notch at survival skills. His intuition about Yang Jueyu was spot on; the other party didn’t care about the Myriad Form Purple Absolute God Symbols and was simply bent on taking his head.
“Hey? The Wutu Rock Mountain Seal has fallen into your hands?” Yang Jueyu was slightly taken aback, then laughed, “Ha ha ha, Jin Mingyang, you’ve been hiding here for some time; aren’t you coming out to take down Li Hui?”
“Jin Mingyang?” A feeling of dread rose in Li Hui’s heart as he saw a bright light sweeping toward him from the left. He had no time to react and was suddenly hurled away with a loud bang.
“Who would have thought there was a second person by the lakeside? It seems the magical dragon eyes can’t penetrate illusions; perhaps the Spirit Sense Talisman fed to them wasn’t sufficient. Falling like this will surely dirty my clothes!” Li Hui thought about this just before hitting the ground; a sharp pain shot from his left side, and he could hardly believe that after escaping for so long, he had walked straight into a trap. As his mind raced with thoughts, he didn’t realize two thumb-sized horns had sprouted from his forehead, shining brightly.
