Poverty

Chapter 1793 Remote and Impoverished Areas
Li Yanchu managed to temporarily deceive everyone by using the Guandao Master's ship.

If the Dao Master were to find out, he would probably unleash his magic weapon and kill Li Yanchu in the Chaotic Star Sea.

A large ship sailed smoothly on the sea of ​​stars. The group chatted and laughed, completely unaware that they were on the same ship as Li Yanchu, the Lord of the Killing Dao.

Li Yanchu learned a lot from Wei Nan. Now, all three Dao Lords have sent out ships to prepare to go to Liangdu.

Suddenly!

"what!"

Someone screamed and fell to the ground, lifeless, dying instantly.

Everyone was shocked.

Someone immediately stepped forward to check.

"Junior Brother Sun!"

The person who was killed showed no visible injuries, but his spirit had completely vanished.

"what!"

The person who went forward to check on the deceased's injuries screamed and fell to the ground.

Instantly, an eerie atmosphere enveloped the ship.

Wei Nan was surprised and somewhat incredulous. He looked at Li Yanchu and said, "Does the Daoist intend to kill us?"

Li Yanchu shook her head: "I didn't do it."

He was seriously injured at the moment and had no time to deal with these disciples of the Dao Master.

He exchanged a glance with Gong Feiyan and immediately sensed something was wrong.

They had not noticed any major fluctuations before.

The person who made the move is extremely powerful!

Li Yan initially wanted to find out who had done it, but soon, all the dozen or so Dao Lords on the ship were killed. Their deaths were exactly the same, with no visible injuries, and their primordial spirits had completely disappeared.

Li Yanchu could also tell that the person who came was probably targeting him.

He said calmly, "Fellow Daoist, why don't you show yourself?"

However, the chaotic sea of ​​stars was calm, and no one responded to him.

Gong Feiyan secretly investigated but found nothing.

Seeing that the newcomer was neither in a hurry to make a move nor revealed himself, Li Yanchu smiled faintly and ignored him, focusing on healing his injuries.

Seeing Li Yanchu's appearance, Gong Feiyan secretly admired him.

Unbeknownst to him, Li Yanchu felt a sharp divine power approaching, a force of the Great Dao that was about to directly obliterate his primordial spirit!

call out!
Li Yanchu immediately flicked his fingers, and a stream of light shot through the air, effortlessly neutralizing this divine power.

He didn't know which Dao Lord had made the move.

It must be a Dao Lord. Even a Great Dao Lord could not kill these dozen or so Dao Lords so easily.

After Li Yanchu neutralized the opponent's supernatural power, the void returned to calm.

Li Yanchu smiled and said, "You can wait a little longer. I am seriously injured right now and have no power to fight back. My injuries may continue to worsen in a while."

A moment later, two figures emerged from the void. One was the Hidden Heavenly Emperor, and the other was Daoist Liang. They were each carrying a young man.

This young man was an extraordinary being from another realm, and at this moment he looked dejected and slumped over.

Gong Feiyan frowned and asked, "What do you two mean by this?"

The Hidden Heavenly Emperor coldly said, "Gong Feiyan, don't ask questions you already know the answers to. You ask me, but I should ask you the same question: why don't you arrest him?"

Gong Feiyan sighed: "I was no match for him and was captured. I'm trying to figure out how to escape."

The Hidden Realm Heavenly Emperor sneered, "You two joined forces to kill the Lord of the Hong Realm, were hunted down, and fled to the Star Sea. Now you turn around and deny everything."

Gong Feiyan's pretty face was frosty as she coldly said, "You've been following me."

Master Liang smiled and said, "We don't have the ability to follow you two."

Li Yanchu smiled and said, "So you two are the heroes who rebelled in the lower realm. I have heard of you but have never met you. I admire you very much."

The Hidden Heavenly Emperor said, "I have long admired your reputation, Dao Lord of Slaughter, but it is a pity that I have never met you."

Li Yanchu asked, "Who is this?"

He pointed to the foreign youth they were carrying.

The Hidden Heavenly Emperor said, "His name is Song Zhiyao. In fact, we have a lot to do with him. He wanted to comprehend the tribulation on his own. Not only did he kill all his fellow disciples, but he also wanted to hunt down and kill all the disciples of the other two Dao Lords. If we hadn't stopped him, he would have committed even more atrocities. Now it's just right to let him be our guide. Otherwise, how would we have found you two?"

Li Yanchu was surprised, but upon hearing this, he guessed the reason for the matter. It seemed that the Hidden Heavenly Emperor and Daoist Liang had discovered the whereabouts of these Daoist disciples and therefore followed them.

Song Zhiyao, wanting to monopolize the opportunity, would naturally try to find the ships of the other Dao Lords.

I never expected that he would be discovered for this reason, even though he had hidden himself so well and avoided the Great Dao of Cause and Effect.

"Is it possible that this cause and effect is simply unavoidable?"

Li Yanchu thought.

The Hidden Heavenly Emperor said, "Fellow Daoist is also a remarkable person. Now that you are entangled in the Annihilation Heavenly Flame, your life is nearing its end. I would rather send you on your way."

Li Yanchu said, "I am powerless to fight back now, fellow Daoist, you are welcome to give it a try."

His words made the Hidden Heavenly Emperor and Daoist Liang somewhat wary, after all, Li Yanchu's fearsome reputation was too great.

They witnessed the killing of the Hongjie Dao Master from not far away and were deeply wary of him.

They knew they weren't confident they could withstand that devastating strike that cleaved the heavens and earth.

To avoid any unforeseen complications, they didn't even follow the Lord of the Hong Realm in pursuit.

However, after many twists and turns, this incredible opportunity was presented to them again.

Seeing Li Yanchu's nonchalant demeanor, they were truly unable to fathom his true intentions.

Master Liang said, "Your Majesty has always wanted to fight Master Li. Now is the perfect time. I will hold off Gong Feiyan for you. There is no need to worry about the rest."

The Hidden Heavenly Emperor glanced at him and thought to himself:

"Old fool, you want me to test the waters."

After a moment's hesitation, the Hidden Heavenly Emperor smiled.
"The saying goes, 'To recognize and respect a hero.' Since Fellow Daoist Li is injured, we will not disturb you any longer. We will have a fair fight another day."

He then disappeared into the darkness first.

"…………………" Master Liang.

The Hidden Realm Heavenly Emperor was able to cultivate to the level of Dao Lord in such a dilapidated place as the Hidden Realm.
He must be a villain who has devoured countless people; how could he be so easily fooled?

As the Hidden Heavenly Emperor stepped into the darkness, his figure also disappeared.

Upon first seeing that the two men had been frightened away, Li Yan smiled and said, "It's a pity that my life is lying here and no one is coming to take it."

Gong Feiyan knew,
If those two had actually attacked, they would have been powerless to resist.

However, Li Yanchu managed to frighten the two Dao Lords with just a few words, and Gong Feiyan was somewhat impressed by his methods.

She also knew that the enemy was still hiding in the void. If the Hidden Heavenly Emperor and Daoist Liang were truly as upright as they claimed, they would not have resorted to underhanded tactics.

The two had been probing, and only when they saw that Li Yanchu could not find their trail did they feel safe to make their move.

But now they leave without hesitation.

Such a gloomy enemy is more troublesome than an enemy that attacks fiercely.

Li Yanchu and Gong Feiyan chatted and laughed, discussing how the three Dao Masters had attempted to transfer their calamities to help their disciples achieve enlightenment, only to have all their disciples killed – a truly laughable situation. Li Yanchu, however, felt a secret worry.

"Sooner or later, someone will see through my disguise. If those two really make a move, I'm in a very bad situation right now."

Li Yanchu was trying his best to heal the injuries in his body, but the Annihilation Heavenly Flame was really domineering. It was already difficult for Li Yanchu to suppress it and prevent it from getting worse.

That fire was born when the universe was extinguished, burning everything in the world, including the Great Dao, and it was truly difficult to resolve.

Li Yanchu tried many methods but could not resolve the Annihilation Flame.

"Isn't the Annihilation Heavenly Flame's destruction of the Great Dao somewhat similar to my intention to sever the Dao?"

Li Yanchu had a sudden thought.
A sharp blade of light slashed at the Annihilation Heavenly Flame, and actually managed to cut it in two.

His sword intent was indeed extremely domineering, not only cutting through all the great paths in the world, but even able to cut through the Annihilation Heavenly Flame!

Li Yanchu's mind was like a knife; without making a sound, he cleaved the Annihilation Heavenly Flame in two, and then used the Great Dao of Annihilation to suppress it.

Dao wounds cannot be refined, but if they are separated by sword intent, they become much easier to refine.

...............

At this moment, in the void, the Hidden Heavenly Emperor and Daoist Liang were discussing something, keeping a close eye on Li Yanchu.

Unbeknownst to him, the Hidden Heavenly Emperor tightened his grip, and the pitiful prodigy Song Zhiyao was crushed to death without even realizing it.

By the time the Hidden Heavenly Emperor realized what was happening, the Dao Master's disciple had already died a gruesome death.

The Hidden Heavenly Emperor discovered that his palms were sweating profusely.

He was so arrogant before, but after arriving in this foreign land, he was shocked by the strength of these people.

Until you reach the Dao Lord realm, you won't know how dangerous it is.

"If I hadn't cultivated the new Dao patterns, I probably wouldn't even be qualified to fight these people; I probably wouldn't have survived a single move!"

Suddenly, the Hidden Heavenly Emperor moved.

"Wait a minute, how could I have been fooled by him!"

Master Liang asked, "What's wrong?"

The Hidden Heavenly Emperor said, "If his injuries weren't serious, he would definitely have attacked us. The fact that he's holding back now means he's healing his injuries. Otherwise, why would he be so calm and collected?"

Master Liang was taken aback: "That's right, this person has attained enlightenment through killing and has killed countless people, but today he seems gentle and refined. There is definitely something wrong with him."

However, Master Liang remained rooted to the ground, showing no intention of making a move.

"Old scoundrel..." The Hidden Realm Heavenly Emperor frowned and said, "Fellow Daoist, there's no need to doubt. I will make the first move, and you can join me in killing him."

Master Liang smiled and said, "I fight alongside you, fellow Daoist, how could I harbor any selfish motives?"

"You old bastard, you're full of lies..." The Hidden Heavenly Emperor chuckled, not taking Lord Liang's words to heart. He launched a fierce attack, unleashing his Great Dao Divine Power. He cultivated the Dao of Sacrifice, which, while not an extremely profound Great Dao, was effective against attacks targeting the primordial spirit.

He had previously tested Li Yanchu, but Li Yanchu had easily deflected his attack, making him wary of Li Yanchu's strength. Now, he was going all out.

Li Yanchu felt the power of this attack and could no longer remain as calm as before.

He threw a punch, and a powerful fist intent emerged, as if a giant who created the world was about to smash through the sky with a single punch.

This punch neutralized the Hidden Heavenly Emperor's divine power.

The Hidden Heavenly Emperor burst into laughter and stepped out of the void.

"I admire Fellow Daoist Li's supernatural powers, but this cannot hide the fact that you are outwardly strong but inwardly weak and seriously injured."

His tone changed abruptly, and he suddenly launched a deadly attack on Li Yanchu, unleashing a series of deadly moves.

Despite being severely injured, Gong Feiyan launched a counterattack, but was immediately struck down, spitting blood and collapsing weakly to the ground.

Li Yanchu fought against the Hidden Realm Heavenly Emperor and was also beaten so badly that his blood and qi surged, and he vomited blood repeatedly.

However, he was still fighting the Hidden Heavenly Emperor on the ship, and the two fought from the bow to the stern.

Master Liang smiled slightly: "Li Yanchu is indeed seriously injured. If we don't act now, when will we?"

Lord Liang, with ruthless intent, activated his new Dao patterns. As long as the new Dao patterns touched him, Dao ash would appear on his body, and his Great Dao would collapse.

Li Yanchu could only dodge at this moment, and the situation looked bad as he was surrounded by the two attackers.

No one paid any attention to Gong Feiyan at this point. As long as Li Yanchu was killed, would Gong Feiyan, who was just a nobody, be allowed to escape?

The three fought fiercely, their battle escaping into the sea of ​​stars.

"Two despicable bastards!"

Gong Feiyan suppressed her injuries and charged forward again, but she was now too badly injured. In just a short while, her bones were broken and her Dao was almost collapsed.

Li Yanchu shouted, "You step back first."

The three fought more and more fiercely, and the ripples of their Dao that they unleashed made it impossible for anyone to get close.

The Hidden Realm Heavenly Emperor was overjoyed to see that Li Yanchu was extremely weak and grew weaker with each exchange.

"Kill him quickly, otherwise it will attract others and cause unforeseen complications."

The Hidden Heavenly Emperor was ruthless, frequently attacking Li Yanchu's soul.

Li Yanchu was attacked by the two men in quick succession, suffering severe injuries, and was on the verge of being killed.

The Hidden Realm Heavenly Emperor then intensified his attack.
Suddenly!

Li Yanchu's face turned cold, and his eyes flashed with a fierce light.

The Hidden Heavenly Emperor sensed something was wrong, but he assumed Li Yanchu was making a last-ditch effort and didn't panic. He immediately activated his new Dao patterns to transform into supernatural powers and attacked.

Li Yanchu reached out and drew his sword, slashing down with a single stroke, unleashing an unparalleled flash of sword light.

This strike seemed capable of severing everything in the world, including the new Dao pattern, which was directly split in two.

puff!

"Ahhhh!"

Caught off guard, the Hidden Heavenly Emperor was suddenly splattered with blood, his body split into two bloody pieces. His Great Dao was instantly severed, and his primordial spirit was unable to escape, being killed with a single strike.

"impossible!!!"

Master Liang was greatly surprised, never expecting that Li Yanchu's aura would suddenly change and that he would actually kill the Hidden Heavenly Emperor.

Moreover, he had just noticed that the new Dao patterns, which were invincible and capable of cutting through anything, had also been cleaved open.

However, the long sword in Li Yanchu's hand was completely undamaged.

"You weren't burned by the Annihilation Flame, so why are you alright?"

Master Liang was filled with doubt and surprise.

Li Yanchu had calmly and quietly resolved the injury caused by the last Heavenly Fire within his body; he was merely feigning weakness.

Lord Liang dared not make another move, and Li Yanchu deliberately deceived him with words: "You two have gone down the wrong path. The Dao Domain is just a rural place, a poor and remote place, but I have beings from a place stronger than the Dao Domain."

Master Liang was shocked: "What? There is a place even more powerful than the Dao Domain?"

Li Yanchu sneered, "You country bumpkins, do you really think the Dao Domain is some kind of great place? Think about it carefully. If the Dao Domain were so easy to go to, why didn't I go when he invited me that day?"

Master Liang was somewhat surprised, his gaze filled with doubt and uncertainty. "Yes, is the Dao Domain really that good? Why did Li Yanchu refuse when they took the initiative to invite him?"

While rapidly recovering his cultivation and circulating the Nine Innate Paths, Li Yanchu continued to deceive Daoist Liang: "I once met a strange man from overseas who taught me cultivation techniques and supernatural powers. He stood at the end of the Great Dao, with the Nine Innate Paths beneath his feet. He could create the universe and open up the world in an instant. With such a ruthless person as my master, why would I need to go to the Dao Domain? So, you have come here today to seek death."

Master Liang was shocked to hear this. To create the universe in a single thought was something even someone as powerful as the Master Liang could not do.

An existence above the Dao Lord?!
Master Liang broke out in a cold sweat!
Li Yanchu is indeed someone of great importance; no wonder he rose to fame in a foreign land and became a Dao Master in a short period of time.

Upon seeing this, Li Yan felt a surge of emotion:
“When it comes to bragging, you guys are still a bit lacking. I’ve only just begun and I’ve already scared you off.”
