Hide in the world of gods and demons

Chapter 158 The World is Perilous
"No way, this is so unlucky!"

Chen Li sighed inwardly, silently chanted an incantation, and quickly cast a golden light protective spell to shield himself completely.

The other person stopped in their tracks.

The atmosphere became tense for a moment.

"It's you!" Ke Xian's eyes flashed with a fierce glint, his face full of amusement: "Hehe, didn't expect to run into me again, did you!"

"Fellow Daoist Ke, it's all a misunderstanding. My cultivation is low, and when I'm out and about, I can barely protect myself. How could I dare to step forward and help you?" Chen Li lowered his posture and bowed cautiously.

Feeling depressed.

What does the conflict between your Red Mountain Sect and Heavenly Star Sect have to do with me?

“Actually, you didn’t need to fight to the death. If you had just hindered us a little, Sheng Liwei wouldn’t have escaped. Do you think I should blame you?” Ke Xian stared at Chen Li, slowly took a step closer, and said mockingly.

It was like a cat playing with a mouse.

Upon hearing this, Chen Li suddenly became alert.

I sensed danger.

This is a primeval forest, sparsely populated, where death would go unnoticed. The other party clearly intended to kill.
"What do you mean by that, fellow Daoist? I have other matters to attend to, so I will not continue this conversation. Farewell."

Chen Li's expression turned cold, and he began to retreat step by step, preparing to leave the area.

"Heh heh, you think you can leave? Stay here!"

Ke Xian immediately dropped his pretense and suddenly turned hostile, unleashing the aura of a mid-Foundation Establishment cultivator. Before he finished speaking, a flying sword arrived as a streak of light. Even before the sword reached the ground, its invisible sharpness silently cleaved the nearby tree branches in two.

Even the golden protective shield began to ripple slightly.

Fortunately, Chen Li was prepared and dodged the opponent's flying sword with a swift movement.

Since there's no escaping it, we have no choice but to fight it out.

He rapidly circulated his Heavenly Qi, his figure as swift as lightning, and darted toward a large tree. However, just as he reached the tree, Chen Li felt a chill run down his spine. In the next instant, the tree was completely sliced ​​in half by a flying sword. He couldn't dodge in time and the flying sword grazed past his side.

Although Chen Li was unharmed, his max-level golden light shield was torn apart instantly by the flying sword, just like a soap bubble.

He was shocked.

"What a terrifying flying sword!"

In the midst of his busy schedule, he quickly pulled out a golden amulet to protect his body, and while moving at high speed, he silently chanted incantations.

The flying sword moved like a fleeting shadow, swift as a startled swan.

Even Chen Li could only see a blurry afterimage.

In less than a second, he was attacked five times, and he could only desperately dodge and run for his life.

Invisible sword energy crisscrossed the area.

Countless leaves danced in the air.

One tree after another fell down.

Rumbling.

Just before the invisibility spell was about to complete, Chen Li's figure flashed behind a large tree and suddenly disappeared completely.

"boom!"

The large tree was swept away and snapped in two by the flying sword that followed closely behind.

However, Chen Li was nowhere to be found.

The flying sword hovered in mid-air, buzzing like a bee!
Where did it go?
Ke Xian scanned his surroundings intently, his expression grave.

Not only could they not see him, but even their spiritual senses could not find any trace of him.

However, a sense of impending danger told him that the other party had never left and was nearby.

Invisibility? Earth-遁术?
Or is it an illusion?

His heart sank.

"I see you!" Ke Xuan shouted bluffingly, his flying sword sweeping across the surrounding trees in an instant, causing them to fall one by one.

"come out!"

"I was just joking."

As time passed, the invisible sense of danger grew ever closer, making him feel as if he had a thorn in his side.

He had seen mid-Foundation Establishment cultivators from the True Sect before, and originally thought that this junior cultivator at the early Foundation Establishment stage would be easy for him to kill. In this deserted place with few people around, he could just kill him without a care in the world.

He never expected it to be so difficult; it was completely beyond his expectations.

He felt a pang of regret.

I knew so...

"Crack!"

The sound of a dry branch breaking was faint.

But to Ke Xian's ears, it sounded like a heavy drumbeat.

"Right here!" Ke Xian suddenly looked over.

Only then did he realize with a start that, without his notice, the other party had come within arm's reach.

Before he could even make a move.

He saw an incredibly blinding light fill his entire field of vision, and in the dim light, a blurry figure moved against the light, like a phantom, arriving in an instant.

"How brave!"

Ke Xian roared, fearless, and relying on his intuition, he slammed his hands, which were filled with qi, onto the jade sword.

There was a loud "bang" sound.

The airflow surged in all directions.

A sword and a palm strike, a single touch, and they were separated.

Chen Li's tiger's mouth was numb from the shock. He swung his sword to deflect the opponent's palm and then slashed at his throat.

But once again, his hand was blocked by the other person's bare hands.

In the blink of an eye, the two had already exchanged several moves.

The opponent was not only highly skilled and extremely strong, but also a veteran of countless battles. His palm techniques were honed through countless trials and tribulations, and his skills were astonishing. Every palm strike and every move was as swift and unpredictable as a gazelle hanging its horns.

A pair of palms, imbued with concentrated qi, clashed head-on with Chen Li's second-tier mid-grade magic sword, holding their own in the slightest.

Chen Li attacks, Ke Xian defends.

The two exchanged blows as quickly as phantoms, in the blink of an eye, they had already exchanged more than a dozen moves in the short span of a breath.

If Chen Li hadn't already completed the Marrow Refinement, possessed keen senses, had complete control over his body's power, and reacted far more swiftly than ordinary early or even mid-Foundation Establishment cultivators, he would probably have already met his end.

In fact, close-quarters combat like this is extremely dangerous.

This was the first time for Chen Li.

In the past, his enemies were either overpowered by force or assassinated.

They almost always defeated their enemies with a single move, rarely using a second. The aura of death was ever-present, stimulating Chen Li's blood to boil and sending chills down his spine.

"die!"

Chen Li silently chanted an incantation, his longsword flashing like lightning, combined with the 'Scolding Technique', launching a fierce attack.

resignedly.

The scolding technique, which had always worked in the past, was completely ineffective this time. The other party remained unmoved, as if the scolding technique was a gentle breeze, without even a moment's hesitation.

This approach won't work.

Chen Li used Flash Spell again.

Continuous flashes of light.

Sure enough, the effect was obvious.

The opponent's movements began to stiffen noticeably. Although the Foundation Establishment cultivator possessed spiritual awareness, it could not replace eyes. The limitation in his vision greatly reduced his reaction time, and he almost got hit by the sword several times.

Seeing this, Chen Li began a frenzied attack, his longsword flashing like a storm, as fast as lightning.

"Boom bang bang..."

Ko Hsien's forehead was sweating as he fought and retreated rapidly, constantly trying to create space.

However, Chen Li followed him like a shadow, giving him no chance to catch his breath.

Ke Xian was completely suppressed. Faced with overwhelming pressure, he had no other thoughts but to passively defend himself, and could not even be distracted for a moment.

A large tree was swept through by the sword energy.

It hasn't fallen yet.

It was silently divided into several pieces.

As the saying goes, "What is guarded for too long will eventually be lost." After yet another flash of brilliance, Ko Hsien finally revealed his fatal flaw.

"Oh!"

Chen Li dodged the opponent's palm with a flash, and at the same time, a sonic boom stab, like a venomous snake biting, pierced through the opponent's defense and struck his right shoulder, leaving a bloody hole the size of an infant's fist.

This strike sealed the victory.

The injury to his shoulder and the continuous bleeding made Ke Xian's attacks and defenses increasingly weak, and he gradually became powerless.

He barely managed to withstand a few attacks.

Ko Hsien suffered another severe injury to his left shoulder.

"You..." Ke Xian finally felt despair and only managed to utter one word.

His forehead was pierced by Chen Li's sword.

Immediately following, another sword light arrived.

The sword energy twisted.

The head shot up into the sky.

There was a "click" sound.

Ke Xian's head rolled from the air to the ground, his bloodshot eyes wide open, staring intently at Chen Li, refusing to close.

Unwilling!

He opened his mouth, as if he wanted to say something.

"How dare you stare at me!"

A surge of rage rose in Chen Li's heart, and he stepped forward and stomped down hard.

"boom!"

His entire head was crushed by his stomp, and red and pink splattered everywhere!

He then performed several exorcism spells to eliminate any potential dangers.

"call!"

Chen Li finally relaxed completely, feeling lightheaded and his feet felt like they were walking on cotton. He was still a little scared and relieved. This battle was too dangerous, a life-or-death struggle, with life and death hanging by a thread.

He stood there for a while.

After his boiling blood gradually cooled down, he walked up to the corpse and began to touch it.

I haven't done this job for a few years, and I feel like my movements have become a bit rusty.

Chen Li quickly found two storage bags, but nothing else.

Then Chen Li searched the vicinity again and picked up the flying sword that had fallen to the ground.

"hiss!"

Chen Li accidentally touched the blade of the flying sword and was cut.

"This flying sword is probably no ordinary item!"

He played with it for a while, then put the flying sword into his storage bag.

Unfortunately, the robe was destroyed in the battle; otherwise, it would have been a valuable gain.

"This corpse cannot be kept! There are too many spells like the Resurrection Spell that make the dead speak." He calmed down and began to think about how to eliminate the hidden danger.

Foundation Establishment cultivators are not like those Qi Refining rogue cultivators who have no foundation and can simply die without consequence.

Moreover, he is a mid-Foundation Establishment cultivator who is the backbone of this sect. At that time, even the Golden Core Ancestor of the Red Mountain Sect will probably take notice.

However, he wasn't too worried about it.

Firstly, he always disguised himself when he went out, and secondly, this was a primeval forest, so no one knew that he had killed the person.

Secondly, the other party was previously fighting with Sheng Liwei of the Tianxing Sect.

In recent years, the two factions have been fighting each other endlessly. It is said that several Foundation Establishment cultivators have died on both sides, forming a blood feud. It is quite normal for another one to die. It is unlikely that the Red Mountain Sect will go to the Heavenly Star Sect to verify this. They are an excellent scapegoat.

As for Sanlai, he's not without connections now.

Moreover, he was just a lowly early Foundation Establishment cultivator who hadn't been at the Foundation Establishment stage for very long. Even if he suspected that it was the work of a True Sect cultivator, he wouldn't suspect him at all.

"Cremation attracts too much attention and is too much trouble..."

Chen Li had an idea. He dragged the corpse and the crushed head together and cast five or six ice spells.

After the body is completely frozen.

He stepped forward and crushed the ice corpse under his feet. Even the hard bones were shattered by his Zhou Tian Gang Force and ground into fine powder.

Chen Li picked up the tattered robe from the ground, shook it vigorously, put it into his storage bag, and prepared to throw it away in another place.

As for the powder, there are countless scavengers in the forest, and it is estimated that in less than a day, there will be no trace left here.

As a precaution, Chen Li then used a traction technique to disrupt the battle scene.

"That's about it," Chen Li thought to himself after looking around.

His body shot into the sky, embarking on his journey home.
