Chapter 1397: The Ferocious Li Yan
And wherever he passed, a series of short screams had just risen before they instantly disappeared outside the skiff.
These people watched the whistling afterimage, and in their desperation, they wanted to first resist the attack. But that terrifying force, which even the old woman surnamed He had almost been unable to resist, the moment they made contact with it.
It was as if they felt like an ant trying to block a charging elephant. They were instantly sent flying.
Under Li Yan’s deliberate control of the direction, the direction these cultivators flew was, without exception, outside the body of the skiff.
Even if someone was slightly off, or with their own strength, tried to forcefully reverse their body in mid-air, the moment Li Yan passed by them, he would add another punch.
It was either a direct hit or a gust of fist wind hitting their body. At the same time, Li Yan would also snatch the storage ring from their hand.
Li Yan had had no chance to take the storage ring from the old woman surnamed He’s hand before. At that time, apart from attacking with all his might, he did not dare to hold back in the slightest.
No matter how thick their defensive magical treasures were, whether they blocked Li Yan’s impact or not.
Li Yan didn’t care about these things. He wasn’t trying to break their defenses, nor was he trying to shatter their physical bodies and Nascent Souls to kill them. He was using absolute power to send them flying.
As long as he could knock them out of the giant skiff, even if they didn’t die at that moment, with the speed of the giant skiff, they would be completely unable to catch up. In the end, they could only die in the “Bone-Melting Wind.”
However, in Li Yan’s mind, this would not happen. These people would perish the moment they went out.
This attack of Li Yan’s, at the same time, also made use of the aftershock of his attack on the old woman surnamed He. It was continuous and done in one breath.
The seven Nascent Soul cultivators near the railing on the edge of the skiff, faced with a series of sudden changes, although they had all put up defenses and had also blocked the other party’s surprise attack, had all fallen into Li Yan’s trap.
They were all battle-hardened cultivators and had all reacted in the first instance. But their reaction was to first defend and then counter-attack. None of them had thought that Li Yan would be so despicable.
What the other party wanted to do was not about whether you could defend against it, but whether you could stand firm and withstand the brutal impact of his physical body, which was comparable to that of a Spirit Transformation cultivator.
Among them, there were also two female disciples from the “Heavenly Mountain Garden,” who were also not spared because they were close to the edge of the skiff.
In their terrified eyes, one figure after another in front of them flew up like thrown stones, and they heard a series of short, terrified cries.
Their own bodies were already trying their best to dodge, but the next moment, they were hit directly by a black shadow. The irresistible force, amidst their paling faces, sent them flying directly…
Li Yan’s attack was decisive and ruthless, done in one breath, without any sloppiness, like mercury spilling on the ground, clean and neat.
This attack was so fast, like a rabbit leaping up and a falcon swooping down, that not only did the cultivators on the deck not react, but even the two people in the other room and the room itself did not react.
And it was only after Li Yan’s single strike had pierced through that the remaining five cultivators, amidst cries of alarm, quickly retreated, moving away from the edge of the skiff.
They felt as if a peerless, ferocious beast had appeared. In their Divine Senses, it was just a blurry figure, streaking across, and then those people flew up like pellets and disappeared!
They didn’t even see what it was before the other party had launched a fatal attack.
On the other side, the six Nascent Soul cultivators who were attacking the room just now, after hearing a series of screams and feeling that something was wrong, only then did they turn their heads one by one and stop their attacks.
And in their line of sight, the two teams that had been at full strength just now, their numbers had already been reduced by nearly half…
Inside the room, Jia Fugui and Donglin Tingyue, one with his mouth agape, the other with her beautiful eyes filled with shock and disbelief.
Although the two of them were being attacked by a joint force of six cultivators, it had only been a few breaths of time, and the other party had not yet broken through their defensive restrictions.
At the same time, they were also baffled by the old woman surnamed He’s sudden departure. Therefore, they had also been paying attention to her whereabouts, afraid that she was playing a trick and that they would lose their last chance.
They had already steeled themselves for death. At present, they were just trying to delay for as long as possible. Perhaps they could reach the “Great Nothingness Tree” area, it was not impossible.
When things were at their worst, fear actually lessened a little. But even if they were to die, they wanted to take more people down with them.
And in the next moment, in just a few breaths, their Divine Senses, which were locked on the old woman surnamed He, saw a blurry shadow, streaking across the deck and soaring into the sky.
Immediately after, there were two continuous bursts of light, as well as the old woman surnamed He’s short cry of alarm.
Before the two of them knew what had happened, they saw a black shadow shooting out in a straight line from the deck. Wherever it passed, there were figures of cultivators flying up, as well as one short, tragic cry after another.
Those figures were like “chickens flying and dogs jumping.” After flashing once on the formation restrictions on the edge of the skiff, even their voices could no longer be heard.
This scene in their Divine Senses made them unable to believe it, no matter what. Jia Fugui even shook his head, trying to clear his mind a little.
And just as they were wondering what that black shadow was, Li Yan’s figure had quickly solidified at the stern of the skiff.
The moment the two saw Li Yan’s face, they were both stunned.
But the moment his figure was revealed, the three magical treasures also pierced through to the stern of the skiff. He swept his sleeve, and immediately collected them.
However, as he swept his sleeve, his figure rose again, once again pouncing towards a nearby Nascent Soul cultivator, extremely ferocious.
Inside the room.
“He… he didn’t run away?” Jia Fugui said subconsciously.
Donglin Tingyue’s graceful body also trembled the moment she saw Li Yan’s face clearly.
“He actually didn’t flee alone, but… but launched… launched such an… an unbelievable attack?”
In the next moment, a look of excitement suddenly appeared on Jia Fugui’s face. The old woman surnamed He had been knocked out of the flying skiff by some method Li Yan had used.
What kind of place was it outside the skiff? Jia Fugui knew what would happen to the old woman surnamed He next even if he thought with his butt. Although there were still Spirit Transformation cultivators on the second level, at least their time had been bought.
Li Yan had used a strategy, not like them, who had been thinking about how to use their magical treasures to fight a Spirit Transformation cultivator head-on!
They had never thought of this point. The key was that they themselves did not have strength close to that of a Spirit Transformation cultivator, and could only think of dodging and fleeing!
“He actually killed a Spirit Transformation cultivator…”
Jia Fugui had a feeling of being brought back from the brink of death. At this moment, he had already forgotten how Li Yan had done it.
At the same time, Donglin Tingyue’s body suddenly trembled. She waved her jade hand, and a flashing voice transmission jade slip appeared in her hand.
Her Divine Sense quickly entered it, and a cold voice entered her mind.
“You’d better all attack together!”
There was only this short sentence, no more questions, no other explanations.
Li Yan was pouncing towards a petite and beautiful female cultivator. The other party was a Late-stage Nascent Soul cultivator.
Seeing the pouncing Li Yan, the woman’s pupils shrank violently. Her body quickly retreated, and at the same time, she shouted loudly.
“All fellow Daoists here, let’s hold him off together! Junior Sister Wang, go up and inform Elder Yuan, quickly!”
This female cultivator was a direct disciple of the “Heavenly Mountain Garden.”
When Li Yan arrived at the stern, her Divine Sense had also detected the other party’s cultivation level. It was only Mid-stage Nascent Soul, but at this time, how could she not know that this green-robed cultivator’s strength was not as it appeared on the surface?
The other party’s combat strength was terrifying to the extreme. Even Elder He from the “Spirit Subduing Manor” had been knocked off the skiff by him, his fate unknown.
But based on Li Yan’s special attack method just now, she, who had also experienced life and death, had judged in her heart that the other party might be born with divine strength, or had refined the essence blood of some ferocious beast.
Or perhaps the other party’s true form was a demonic beast, not a human cultivator.
But no matter what, this green-robed youth was quite insidious. He knew that once Elder He reacted, it might be the end for him, so he actually used the environment here to counter-attack.
This kind of thinking, even if they were in a desperate situation, they probably would not have been able to come up with.
The petite disciple from the “Heavenly Mountain Garden” retreated at high speed while laying out her plan. Her reaction was extremely fast, and the arrangements she made were the most appropriate.
The other few people also reacted quickly. The green-robed cultivator in front of them was too ferocious, but the other party had mostly relied on sneak attacks and the use of the surrounding environment to succeed in one go.
Therefore, after they were not affected by the first wave of sneak attacks, and after they saw Li Yan’s cultivation level, they also recovered from their shock.
None of the cultivators who had been knocked away by the green-robed youth just now had died on the spot. At most, one or two had been shaken to the point of vomiting blood.
If it were a normal place, then these people, as long as they deflected the force of the attack in the air, many of them wouldn’t even need to swallow a pill to quickly counter-attack.
But here, those who had been knocked away had no second chance.
Following the call of the petite female cultivator from the “Heavenly Mountain Garden,” a female cultivator, after only a slight hesitation, immediately flew towards the bow of the skiff.
It was impossible to fly directly to the second level from here. And the remaining three, who were already very close to the petite female cultivator, instantly formed a pincer formation with her.
These people were all seasoned in life and death, and at this time, they all absolutely knew what they should do.
Almost at the same time as the female cultivator’s voice fell, the other six cultivators from a distance also immediately rushed over. Their reaction was so fast that it was dazzling.
And at this time, Li Yan had already flashed from the stern to the middle of the deck. With a flicker of his figure, he arrived in front of the petite female cultivator. He launched a flying kick straight at her chest.
The cultivators here were too experienced in combat. Once the other party had a moment to react, Li Yan’s surprise attack had already lost its effectiveness.
The petite female cultivator, seeing that Li Yan’s attack was aimed at her chest, her pretty face was immediately covered with a layer of frost.
This green-robed cultivator had used a sneak attack before, and now he was attacking in this way. It was obvious that he was a lowly and evil cultivator.
This kind of person was not only venomous, but more importantly, he was most likely a lecherous person.
Although the purpose of a cultivator’s fight was to kill, to attack a female cultivator’s breasts right from the start, it was obvious that this person was used to doing so.
If this woman’s thoughts were known by Li Yan, he would definitely be extremely depressed. When he fought with others, of course, whatever environment allowed him to kill the other party as quickly as possible, he would do it however he pleased.
With his charging posture, of course, either a ram or a kick would have the strongest killing power.
With him being outnumbered, Li Yan was thinking of killing these people as quickly as possible, but he also didn’t want to expose all his trump cards for others to see and be on guard against.
Therefore, he still used the methods of a body cultivator, attacking in the most direct and simple way.
The petite female cultivator’s body retreated, and a continuous flash of light appeared around her. She had already summoned four talismans, which immediately protected her entire body.
Although she felt that her protective light shield could not be shattered by the other party in one blow, after what she had seen before, and given how insidious this person was, she still did not want to be sent flying by the impact.
These four talismans, like bronze bells, as soon as they appeared, they clung to her graceful body and began to rotate rapidly, creating a circle of faint green light, adding another layer of protection.
At the same time, the female cultivator’s entire person had nimbly flashed to one side, attempting to dodge Li Yan’s kick. In her hands, a pair of butterfly knives had also appeared in an instant.
Although she had more ways to defend against Li Yan’s attack, she just wanted to cut off his leg, and thus also adopted a close-combat approach.
Although the petite female cultivator was not very proficient in close combat, it was only relative to her own techniques. In fact, she was also an expert in it.
At this time, the other three had already surrounded Li Yan from behind. But given how fast Li Yan was just now, he had instantly closed the distance with the petite female cultivator. The three of them, working together, did not dare to use any powerful divine abilities.
They were afraid that a careless mistake would cover both of them in the attack.
Among them, a man and a woman respectively summoned a gray stone and a small, cold-flashing battle-axe, and sent them flying towards Li Yan’s temple and back.
At the same time, another old man flicked his finger, and a mouse-like demonic beast, shining with golden light and with sharp, awl-like teeth, pounced out like lightning. With a flash of golden light, it disappeared in the empty space ahead.
The next moment, the mouse demon had arrived at the back of Li Yan’s head. A fierce light flashed in its eyes, and with its awl-like teeth, it viciously pecked at Li Yan’s head.
Amidst the pincer attack of the four, the other six from a distance had also abandoned the room and had all surrounded them.
They saw that although Li Yan had used the terrain to his advantage and had “killed” eight people in a surprise attack. But the other party itself still had formidable cultivation, otherwise, he would not have been able to knock away a Spirit Transformation cultivator.
So, they immediately decided to kill this man first.
The petite female cultivator’s butterfly knives, with a sound of breaking through the air, instantly slashed at Li Yan’s kicking leg.
This made a sharp glint flash in the petite female cultivator’s eyes. So what if the other party was a powerful body cultivator? Her pair of butterfly knives could even cut a fourth-rank “Silver Dragon Turtle,” which was known for its powerful defense, into several pieces.
Let alone a human body cultivator of the same rank. She was confident that the power of her twin knives could at least injure his leg.
And after her twin knives slashed through, there was no expected sound of collision, nor the sound of a blade entering flesh and bone. The twin knives just slashed through the air.
“Hmm?”
The petite female cultivator couldn’t help but be stunned.
Even at this time, in her Divine Sense, the figure in front of her and the kicking leg were still there.
“Die!”
Just as she was stunned, a low shout came from her side. Immediately after, another Li Yan appeared there. What was left on the spot was just an afterimage.
Because Li Yan had suddenly changed direction in the middle of his attack this time, the several enemies were unable to react, but it was also a huge burden on him.
Even a powerful body cultivator would normally not be able to move their body at such a close distance after a move had already been made.
But after Li Yan had kicked out, he knew that this kick would definitely not hit. So in a flash of lightning, he forcefully changed direction halfway through the kick, brushing past to one side.
Because his attack speed was too fast, and with such a hasty change of moves, his body also changed direction drastically. His entire spine, in an instant, made a frightening “kaka” sound.
But because his movements changed too quickly, in the end, all the “kaka” sounds merged into a “buzz.”
This sound echoed dully inside his body, but was drowned out by the sound of the four people’s magical treasure attacks breaking through the air. The petite female cultivator therefore did not hear it either.
