Poverty

Chapter 1858 Going Mad!

Li Yanchu's cultivation level was nothing in the eyes of these Daoji Palace disciples.

Whether one person suppresses the outer sect or the most ferocious outer sect member is, it is only limited to the outer sect. Which inner sect disciple cannot suppress the outer sect?
Daoji Palace disciples can easily capture inner disciples.

However, no one expected that Li Yanchu would become so strong after being imprisoned in the Heavenly Prison for a period of time.

Even Lü Yan, who cultivated the Dao of Annihilation, was killed by him.

The powerful figures from Daoji Palace exchanged glances, all wanting to flee.

But Li Yanchu said coldly, "Since you're here, don't leave."

Immediately, Li Yanchu pressed down with a palm, and in an instant, a giant hand appeared in the sky, causing the Dao Ji Palace experts to fall into it without realizing it.

They used all sorts of supernatural powers in an attempt to break through Li Yanchu's Great Dao.

But then a desolate void appeared, swallowing them up in an instant, without even a scream; none survived.

After killing these Daoji Palace disciples, Li Yanchu's expression turned cold.

If he hadn't comprehended the profound mysteries of the Dao of Annihilation under dire circumstances, he would be the one killed now.

The cruelty of the Dao Domain shocked Li Yanchu.

Li Yanchu thought to himself, "The best course of action now is either to flee to the Great Void or to go to the Old Land and use its power to deal with the Dao Domain."

Now he is alone and weak. Although he has killed the experts of Daoji Palace, he is still helpless when he encounters the real experts of Daoji Palace.

Just as Li Yanchu was about to set off into the void, he was suddenly blocked by an unparalleled beauty.

The woman said coldly, "I've finally caught you."

Li Yanchu sensed the aura emanating from this person and his heart sank.

It seems that this was the person who had previously invaded the void.

Li Yanchu asked in a deep voice, "Who are you?"

He felt a little helpless; his luck was truly terrible.

Having just greatly increased his cultivation and killed Lü Yan, he encountered such a mysterious and powerful figure.

The woman said indifferently, "It's none of your business."

"........."

Li Yan was stunned upon hearing this.

The woman's words left him completely bewildered.
"Is she here to arrest me, or what?"

But at this moment, the woman suddenly raised her hand and grabbed at Li Yanchu. A terrifying power emanated from her, and Li Yanchu's heart sank.

He couldn't understand what the woman was doing at all.

Li Yanchu immediately summoned the Void of Annihilation.

However, the woman's palm strike was so powerful that it actually suppressed the Void of Annihilation, restoring it to the Dao of Annihilation.

Li Yanchu's heart tightened immediately, and he frantically tried to escape, but the woman's hand still reached out to grab him.

Li Yanchu gritted his teeth, activated the Dao-Slaying Divine Blade, and swung it down.

Within this strike, a void of annihilation also appeared. The blade light was extremely sharp, breaking through the woman's divine power and escaping.

However, this attack completely depleted Li Yanchu's internal energy, leaving him somewhat astonished.

Just then, an extremely majestic figure appeared, a burly man whose body was as if cast in gold, blocking Li Yanchu's path.

This person had a dignified face and carried a murderous aura. As soon as he appeared, Li Yanchu secretly groaned in his heart.

Just standing in front of him gave him an extreme sense of oppression; this person was no less than that woman.

The woman said, "This credit is mine; don't try to take it from me."

Then she reached out and grabbed at Li Yanchu again.

Li Yanchu thought the man and woman were there to arrest him, but he never expected that he would suffer an undeserved disaster because of the black box.

This time, as soon as the man appeared, he used his great power to imprison the void. At this moment, Li Yanchu had nowhere to escape. His power was exhausted, and he no longer wanted to escape.

But at that moment, an extremely fierce force surged into his body, and then a voice emerged in his mind.
"Do you want to leave? Lend me your body."

The voice suddenly echoed in Li Yanchu's mind, instantly putting him on high alert.

However, at the same time, he subconsciously threw a punch, and with this extremely surging power, he actually blocked the woman's attack.

The woman's eyes turned cold, and she struck Li Yanchu again.

Li Yanchu activated his martial arts to fight back, but his cultivation was already exhausted. At this moment, an ordinary Daoji Palace disciple could capture him, so how could he possibly fight against this mysterious powerhouse?

However, with the support of that Dao power, Li Yanchu managed to withstand the woman's attacks three more times.

Then the burly man, who looked like a celestial being in golden armor, made his move and punched Li Yanchu.

To Li Yanchu's surprise, the man's domineering punch did not kill him; it seemed that a mysterious force had resisted the supernatural powers of the man and woman.

Li Yanchu was on guard.
"What exactly is going on? Who are you?"

However, the voice disappeared after it had been heard, and Li Yanchu was puzzled as to why.

The man and woman were none other than Shang Rongjun, the former national advisor, and Gu Leyun, the commander of the imperial guards.

When the two men saw that Li Yanchu, who was controlled by the black box, was able to withstand their attacks, they immediately sensed something was wrong.

Shang Rongjun said in a delicate voice, "This black box is not something you can control. The waters here are too deep. If you want to live, hand over the black box."

Li Yanchu was taken aback.

At this moment, Shang Rongjun and Gu Leyun both kept their distance from Li Yanchu and did not make a move to attack.

Although the encirclement remained, they showed no intention of making a move.

Li Yanchu asked, "What black box?"

Shang Rongjun snorted coldly: "I thought you were a smart person who dared to defy the Dao Domain, and I even wanted to guide you to the Old Land, but I didn't expect you to be so greedy."

The burly man, Guleyun, said in a deep voice, "The black box is not something you can control. Hand it over."

Li Yanchu was puzzled and said, "I did see a black box before, but I don't know where it went and I have no way to deal with it. I don't have it at all."

Upon hearing this, Gu Leyun's face darkened.

Shang Rongjun said in a deep voice, "You really won't shed a tear until you see the coffin."

At this moment, she once again waved her hand to attack Li Yanchu, and with one strike, she caused the Dao around Li Yanchu to stop operating.

However, with the support of that extremely surging power, Li Yanchu broke through Shang Rongjun's divine power with a single strike.

Shang Rongjun remained unperturbed, coldly saying as he made his move, "This black box is an ominous object. Kid, with such a big appetite, be careful you don't overeat."

Li Yanchu felt a surge of anger and said coldly, "You keep pressuring me and spouting nonsense. Even if I did have this black box, I wouldn't give it to you."

Li Yanchu no longer cared about the woman. Now that he had the support of a powerful force within him, he charged straight at her.

His attacks were extremely fierce. With the support of this powerful Dao force, he fought hard and forced Shang Rongjun to retreat repeatedly. The burly man seized the opportunity and attacked Li Yanchu again.

His fist was extremely powerful, slamming towards the back of Li Yanchu's head.

The black box above Li Yanchu's head moved in unison with him. Even after Li Yanchu killed Lü Yan and fought the two of them again, he did not notice anything unusual. It was indeed a first-rate mysterious object.

At this moment, Li Yanchu saw Gu Leyun coming at him and turned around to slash down with his sword.

With the support of this powerful Dao force, Gu Leyun was also slashed back by Li Yanchu's blade, sparks flying from Gu Leyun's shoulder.

Li Yanchu's pupils contracted.
He unleashed the Divine Blade of Slaying the Dao, and despite the power of that, the man was unharmed!
Li Yanchu felt that his current strength was completely different from before, and he was not even in the same realm.

He was very curious about what kind of power could elevate his cultivation level by a whole realm.

What moved him even more was that the burly man was unharmed after being stabbed; not even his skin was broken.

Li Yanchu couldn't help but feel a little emotional.
"Could it be that my knife has become dull from cutting too many people?"

At this moment, Shang Rongjun unleashed his divine power, and the sky was filled with ice and snow. Li Yanchu was frozen solid, and the long sword in his hand turned into an ice sculpture, rendering him unable to move.

The surroundings seemed like a mirrored world, and Li Yanchu's pupils couldn't help but contract.

It wasn't just because this woman's supernatural powers were extremely strong, freezing time and space, but also because he only now noticed that a black box had been hanging behind his head all along.

Li Yanchu's heart sank.
"This thing was hanging behind my head, why didn't I notice it at all?"

Having succeeded in his attack, Shang Rongjun immediately moved to capture Li Yanchu.

But at this moment, the black box behind Li Yanchu's head suddenly started spinning, instantly shattering the surrounding supernatural powers.

Shang Rongjun was struck by that violent force and was immediately knocked down, flying backward.

The burly man, Gu Leyun, was the commander of the Imperial Guards. He was extremely fierce and barbaric. At this moment, he had somehow produced a long spear and thrust it at Li Yanchu.

This shot was extremely vicious, aiming straight for Li Yanchu's lower back.

He planned to kill Li Yanchu first; otherwise, if the black box controlled the young man, it would take a lot of effort to take it down.

Li Yanchu was caught off guard and couldn't react in time. His cultivation level was far inferior to Gu Leyun's. Although his Dao power had been raised to this level, he was not yet familiar with everything about this level, so his reaction was naturally far inferior to Gu Leyun's.

But at that moment, the black box suddenly sank down, blocking Guleyun's shot.

The sound of metal clashing rang out, but Guleyun's spear bent like a large bow and failed to pierce through.

Upon seeing this, Li Yan immediately realized that the person who had spoken to him earlier was probably something inside the black box, or even the black box itself.

This black box is clearly meant to help him.

Li Yanchu said fiercely, "I'm already in dire straits, and all I can do is fight to the death. Since you're going to help me, then help me to the very end."

As soon as Li Yanchu finished speaking, he activated the Dao-Slaying Divine Blade and charged towards Gu Leyun.

With the support of this power, coupled with Li Yanchu's fighting spirit, he managed to force Gu Leyun to retreat steadily, sustaining three knife wounds.

Li Yanchu said, "Although your realm is beyond my comprehension, it's not impossible to kill you."

Even the usually serious Guleyun couldn't help but chuckle at this moment.
"You're nothing but a controlled puppet. Judging from your appearance, you can't even control this black box. Yet you dare to speak so arrogantly. What do you know, you mere Dao Lord?"

Li Yanchu curled his lip and said, "A mere Dao Master? You're really arrogant."

He turned and charged at Guleyun.
"If you've got the guts, fight me one-on-one. Don't bring women to help you, or I'll respect you as a real man!"

Li Yanchu's words offended both of them.

Gu Leyun was so angry that he laughed; he hadn't been provoked like this in a long time.

At this moment, he shouted, "Imperial Advisor, don't make a move! Let me kill this brat!"

If he had only wanted to kill Li Yanchu before, now he wished he could smash Li Yanchu's head to pieces.

He thrust his spear at Li Yanchu, and with that thrust, a terrifying sense of oppression instantly followed.

This person's supernatural abilities have reached a level that Li Yanchu cannot comprehend; no matter what clever methods are used, they will be crushed by his power.

If Li Yanchu were to rely on his own skill level, he would probably have been killed by a single spear thrust.

However, Li Yanchu possessed a peculiar power within him at that moment. He knew this power originated suspiciously and might not be benevolent.

But since it was a situation where death was inevitable anyway, why not use this power to go crazy?
Li Yanchu directly met Gu Leyun's spear at this moment.

To Gu Leyun's surprise, the young man did not activate any supernatural powers at this moment, but simply turned around and faced away from his spear.

Guleyun was somewhat surprised.

However, the black box accurately blocked Guleyun's spear the next moment.
clang!
A resounding bell echoed throughout the heavens and earth.

Gu Leyun was taken aback, but then he also admired Li Yanchu's courage.

"This kid realized that the black box would help him, so he risked everything."

He was known for his bravery, but he knew he wouldn't make that choice in the same situation as Li Yanchu; it was simply the act of a madman.

Even experts of the same level wouldn't do something so crazy, let alone Li Yanchu, whose level is even lower than his own.

While Gu Leyun was momentarily distracted, Li Yanchu's longsword swept across, forcing Gu Leyun back with a single strike.

Gu Leyun was struck by Li Yanchu's knife and was about to retaliate when Li Yanchu struck again with a second knife.

If Shang Rongjun were to make a move at this moment, Li Yanchu would have no chance to strike a second time, but Shang Rongjun had already stopped.

Although her eyes were blazing with fury, and she wished she could beat this arrogant young man to death.

Although Gu Leyun was not one to smile, she knew that this commander of the Imperial Guards of the old land had never lost in a one-on-one battle.

It's not that he's the best in the old lands, it's just that those who can beat him won't fight him.

Those who fought him could at most fight to a draw; a life-or-death struggle was possible, but a victory or defeat was never decided.

Such a formidable figure, Shang Rongjun wanted to see how this arrogant young man would be beaten.

But she didn't expect that Li Yanchu would actually use his back to withstand Gu Leyun's spear, betting that the black box would block the attack at the crucial moment.

Shang Rongjun frowned.
She disliked Li Yanchu very much.

She was a very intelligent woman who liked to be in control of situations and instinctively felt a bit disgusted by madmen like Li Yanchu.

However, at this moment she also had to give a word of praise.
"This kid is indeed a real desperado."

After Li Yanchu landed a successful blow, he struck again with his second strike, and Gu Leyun was hit by Li Yanchu's blade once more.

Li Yanchu's blade was incredibly fast, and then he unleashed a third strike, forcing Gu Leyun to defend for the time being.

When Li Yanchu unleashed his thirteenth strike, Gu Leyun sensed something was amiss.

The power within Li Yanchu's body surged to an extreme, without any transformation. He had clearly unleashed thirteen strikes with all his might, yet it appeared as if he had only struck once.

Moreover, Li Yanchu's offensive is gradually intensifying.

Guleyun seemed to realize something.
"Is this a fighting method that makes you stronger the more you fight?"

He couldn't help but feel curious.
