Chapter 709: Chapter 715: Seriously Injured
"Not good!"
Liu Qingqi and the remaining female cultivator saw the formation take shape and, in a panic, shouted, "Big brother, we’ve now fallen into the formation!"
"What’s there to panic about? It’s just a third-order formation."
He Jianyi scolded the two and then said to Li Chengshuo, "Fellow cultivator, the moment I saw you, my heart was stirred and I fell deeply in love with you. There is an inseverable bond between us. Would it not be wonderful for us to become dao companions?"
His tone was so greasy it made one want to vomit.
And in response to him, there was the fully activated formation!
With the storm raging and the thunder roaring, Li Chengshuo had no intention of holding back. A continuous stream of sharp attacks bombarded the trio, relentless and unending.
The storm formed dense curtains, separating the three of them. As the thunder and lightning fiercely assailed, the Moon Python lay hidden within, waiting for an opportunity to strike.
Among the three, the female cultivator was the weakest, so naturally, she became Li Chengshuo’s primary target.
The Moon Python opened its gaping maw and a blast of Taiyin cold air burst forth, heading straight for the female cultivator, who was frantically trying to counter the thunderous assault. By the time she realized what was happening, the cold had already seeped into her body.
As her mana circulated, the cold air spread throughout her entire body. Her previously healthy complexion turned deathly pale as even her Sea of Consciousness began to freeze, ultimately rendering her into a lifelike statue of ice.
Li Chengshuo, engaged in fierce combat with He Jianyi, noticed the commotion from the Moon Python and divided a portion of his spirit to direct it towards Liu Qingqi. If he could be dealt with, then the last He Jianyi would not be able to escape death!
Although He Jianyi had been somewhat impulsive before, he had now calmed down, knowing that the opponent was picking them off one by one. Even though he disdained the other two, he was aware that he could not allow this to continue, otherwise, he would eventually die within the formation.
Boom!
He Jianyi ceased his entanglements with Li Chengshuo and intended to break the formation first, so that later, the combined effort of the three could overcome her.
His Life-bound Magic Treasure was a heavy saber, and with every strike, the formation would tremble slightly, but the exertion was also great for him.
Li Chengshuo gave him a cold look and then disappeared within the formation. Both had their own schemes, and now it was a matter of who could outpace the other.
He Jianyi worked even harder to disrupt the formation, and without anyone controlling it, the attacks that evolved on their own were not a significant threat to him. However, he still had to divide his focus to defend against them, which greatly slowed down his progress.
In contrast, Li Chengshuo, within her presided formation, moved with ease as if she were a fish in water. With the Moon Python’s assistance, Liu Qingqi was no match for her and was quickly driven into a tight corner.
"Fellow Jin, I beg you to spare my life. I truly did not wish to harm you; I was completely compelled by circumstance," Liu Qingqi hastily pleaded, fearing that any delay would result in him becoming a mere corpse.
Li Chengshuo remained unmoved. Even if what he said was true, so what? They had already become sworn enemies; could they possibly laugh off their grudges?
Even if the enmity could truly be resolved, it would be between a dead person and a living one! It would never be the case that both sides lived!
"Fellow Jin! I know He Jianyi’s weaknesses and trump cards. I can help you defeat him quickly, as long as you spare my life! I will tell you."
"Ha! Do you really think I would fear that old geezer who’s close to death?"
With the Soul Dividing Jade Slip in her hand, a mere Golden Core cultivator, even if he had reached perfection, was still just a Golden Core!
"You will regret this! I’ll be waiting for you on the Path of the Netherworld!" Liu Qingqi shouted fiercely, his eyes brimming with hatred and his mouth spewing curses.
Li Chengshuo ignored this completely, not only did she not cease her attack, but she became even more ruthless. Controlling the formation and with the aid of the Moon Python, she quickly killed him.
"Now there’s only one person left!"
If she could, she hoped to resolve this last person without the aid of the Soul Dividing Jade Slip. She wanted to force herself and try to break through her bottleneck amidst danger.
Just like how Li Zhixuan actively provoked a Nascent Soul in her quest for a breakthrough back then.
For this reason, Li Chengshuo did not maintain the Formation any longer, allowing He Jianyi to break it.
Crack——
About a quarter of an hour later, accompanied by a crisp sound, the Formation that had trapped him suddenly shattered.
"Useless trash! You couldn’t even hold on for an hour."
The moment He Jianyi appeared, he began searching for Liu Qingqi and that female cultivator, but what met his eyes were two corpses.
"I’ll give you one last chance, follow me obediently. Although you’re just a mere furnace, at least you’ll have a good few years to live. But if you continue to be so stubbornly foolish, don’t blame me for being heartless and ruthless later!"
In those eyes was still a loathsome, disgusting gaze. Li Chengshuo wished she could step forward and gouge them out.
"Whence comes this mad dog that barks everywhere? If no one disciplines it, why not just slaughter it?"
"Clueless about life and death!"
He Jianyi snorted coldly, ran his Secret Technique, and in the next instant, six identical human figures appeared in midair. Whether it was their aura, appearance, mannerisms, or actions, not one was slightly different!
"Originally, out of respect for your beauty, I would have left you with a last shred of dignity, but since you don’t want it, then so be it!" The voice rolled in from six directions.
The next breath, he was brandishing a large saber, chopping toward Li Chengshuo from all sides.
"So this is your trump card huh? Just a few avatar illusions." Li Chengshuo sounded nonchalant, but her grave gaze betrayed her true thoughts.
Because she was astonished to find that she could not discern which one was real and which was fake at all!
"Whether you’re real or fake, I shall shatter you all with one force!"
However, the gap in cultivation between them could not be bridged by merely shouting slogans, let alone the fact that it was not a one-on-one duel but a six-on-one beating!
In just a quarter of an hour, Li Chengshuo was beaten black and blue. If He Jianyi didn’t need a living person instead of a corpse, she might well have gone to join Liu Qingqi by now.
"Still unwilling to give up, you want to resist stubbornly, do you?" He Jianyi looked down on her from his lofty position, his tone full of mockery.
"Cough cough cough——"
Li Chengshuo, hunched over, used all her strength trying to stand a little straighter but found she couldn’t even do that, unable to say what she wanted as she kept coughing.
But He Jianyi saw through her, his gaze becoming exceptionally indifferent, looking at her as if she were a dead person, without the slightest belief that she had a chance to turn the tables.
"You have quite a tenacious spirit, but unfortunately, you’ve met me. No matter how wild and untamable a wild horse is, under my taming, it will become a docile foal."
He Jianyi had run out of patience. All six images rushed forward, planning to knock her out and take her back for slow training.
But at that moment, a sudden change occurred!
A burst of Spirit Light suddenly flew out from Li Chengshuo’s bosom. The Jade Slip shone brilliantly, and a terrifying aura spilled out from it, eventually forming the semblance of Li Zhirui.
