Poverty

Chapter 1939 Rival
Ye Zi's attacks were extremely fierce, seemingly effortless, yet both the Nine Luminaries Saint Lord and Ancestor Yin Xuan were constantly forced to retreat.

Ye Zi pressed down with one hand, and a slender finger descended from the sky, growing enormous and instantly enveloping both the Nine Luminaries Saint Lord and Ancestor Yin Xuan.

With a roar, the Nine Luminaries Saint Lord surged his cultivation, attempting to break through the leaf's divine power. However, the next moment, he suddenly groaned and coughed up a mouthful of blood, leaving him no choice but to flee with Ancestor Yin Xuan and the other two.

Seeing this, Ye Zi clapped her hands and laughed, "Why did you stop fighting? You old geezers, don't you have any backbone left? Stay here!"

Immediately, Ye Zi unleashed a palm strike from mid-air, and in an instant, countless universes were created and destroyed in her palm.

Both Ancestor Yin Xuan and the Nine Luminaries Saint King were enveloped within it.

The next moment, the Nine Luminaries Saint Lord activated another magic weapon to create a way out.

His magic weapon was a black tree branch with a small white flower growing on it.

After he activated the magic weapon, countless rays of light shot through the air, directly breaking through Ye Zi's supernatural power.

However, this magical artifact quickly decayed and withered, eventually turning into ashes.

"hiss!"

The Nine Luminaries Saint King felt a pang of heartache; this was a magical artifact he had refined over many years.

However, he was already seriously injured at this time. The woman who ran out of the black box was too terrifying, so he had to deal with her with caution.

He and Ancestor Yin Xuan soared into the sky and disappeared. This time, Ye Zi did not pursue them. Instead, she rubbed her wrist, looking troubled.

"Damn it, this rural place is still a tough nut to crack."

Li Yanchu stood aside, noticing Ye Zi's icy gaze directed at him. His heart sank: "Damn it, this woman can't tell friend from foe. I should have found a chance to escape earlier."

Previously, Li Yanchu had planned to find another opportunity to kill Ancestor Yin Xuan, just like he had killed the Holy Lord. Ideally, he would also be able to kill the Nine Luminaries Holy Lord. If that were the case, today's battle would be incredibly profitable.

But in that brief moment of hesitation, the outcome was decided. The Nine Luminaries Saint Lord was defeated and fled, and Ancestor Yin Xuan also fled with him, leaving only Ye Zi and Li Yanchu.

Li Yanchu laughed and said, "What a skill! You are truly a heroine, a heroine among women."

Ye Zi sneered, "That's not what you said before. Didn't you say you'd gouge your eyes out if you looked at me again? Go ahead and do it!"

Li Yanchu shook his head: "Even if I wasn't injured, I still couldn't beat you, and now there's even less hope."

Ye Zi said, "If that's the case, why don't you run away? Are you sure I won't kill you?"

Her eyes sparkled, and she revealed an extremely charming smile.

Li Yanchu's mind was unwavering. He had returned to the Great Void to settle old scores and had no intention of provoking a new powerhouse, especially such a terrifying woman.

Li Yanchu said, "If there's nothing else, I'll take my leave now. Hope we can meet again in the martial world."

Ye Zi's expression changed upon hearing this. Her eyes, which had been bright and sparkling just moments before, were now covered with frost. She said coldly, "You stinking Taoist priest, how can you be so ungrateful!"

The next moment she appeared in front of Li Yanchu, and the terrifying aura emanating from her made Li Yanchu's heart pound wildly.

He wasn't attracted to Ye Zi's beauty, but he was also somewhat wary of her because of her ruthlessness.

Ye Zi said, "If I were to kill you now, you would probably be dissatisfied."

Li Yanchu shook his head: "There's no point in being convinced or not; it's just about giving it your all."

Immediately, a purple longsword appeared in his palm, its cold light reflecting off Li Yanchu's face, which was calm, resolute, and somewhat arrogant.

Ye Zi stared at Li Yanchu with a cold and stern gaze, exuding an aura that suggested she was about to kill Li Yanchu at any moment.

After a brief standoff, Ye Zi said impatiently, "Fine, I've dealt with you a few times, so I'll let you go today. Besides, I've killed enough people today, and I don't feel like fighting anymore."

Li Yanchu was stunned for a moment, thinking to herself:

"How many times have we dealt with each other? The Supreme Celestial Venerable has probably dealt with you more than once."

However, Li Yanchu also knew that she probably thought he could communicate with her in the Dao language of the Yu Realm, and that she valued him more. This was the only reason he could guess.

Li Yanchu then smiled and said, "I hope that when we meet again in the future, we will be friends, not enemies, and there will be no need to fight to the death."

Ye Zi gave a cold smile: "Hard to say."

Li Yanchu thought to himself, "It's best to avoid provoking this crazy woman."

Without another word, he transformed into a streak of light and vanished into the sky.

After this great battle, four powerful cultivators at the Primordial Realm perished in the Dark Forbidden Zone, which was truly shocking.

The world was filled with powerful energy, and many supernatural powers remained, eternally undiminished.

Ye Zi was left all alone here, with only the mysterious black box for company.

She watched Li Yanchu's departing figure for a moment, then looked away.
"This fight was really fierce. I'm afraid my rivals will come after me and kill me. I need to find a place to hide."

In an instant, many thoughts raced through Ye Zi's mind.

Suddenly, her heart skipped a beat; an extremely strong causal chain connected her to herself.
"Oh no, they arrived so quickly?"

The powerful woman who had previously been so imposing, casually slaying several top experts at the Primordial Realm, now had a solemn expression.

Suddenly, a sword light burst forth from the void. This sword light looked ordinary, but it contained an overwhelming killing intent.

Ye Zi's heart sank, and she put away her previous contempt. Although she kept saying that this place was the countryside, there was indeed a formidable enemy in the countryside.

Ye Zi thought to herself, "I never imagined that after all these years, he would still be watching me."

She then channeled her cultivation and pointed a finger. This was a divine power unlike any in the Origin Universe. As she pointed, all the power in her body merged into that finger, and her essence, energy, and spirit also converged within it.

This move contains the profound mysteries of the Great Dao, and seems to be able to explain all the Great Daos in the universe.

With a flick of his finger, he collided with the sword light, and in an instant, ripples spread outwards in concentric circles, covering an area of ​​hundreds of millions of miles, and continuing to expand outwards.

As soon as Li Yanchu left, he sensed a terrifying energy aura behind him and couldn't help but frown slightly.

This sword strike was extremely fierce. After the sword light disappeared, Ye Zi's face turned very pale. Her originally beautiful face became bloodless, her body swayed precariously, blood began to spill from the corner of her mouth, and suddenly everything went black before her eyes, and she almost fainted.

Ye Zi looked flustered and backed away.

A path appeared beneath her feet, its end shimmering with light. She retreated continuously, and the path shortened with each step. Fortunately, there was only a single sword light. The source of that light was nowhere to be found, yet with a single strike, it managed to injure Ye Zi, a powerful Primordial Realm expert.

Li Yanchu was traveling through the vast void at an extremely fast speed, traversing through the void layer by layer without any hindrance.

But suddenly he felt an extremely powerful aura approaching him. A great road stretched out, and Li Yanchu was enveloped in this road that ended there.

Li Yanchu's heart sank: "A formidable adversary has come looking for us."

He activated his Dao-Slaying Divine Power, and a long sword suddenly appeared in his hand, ready for battle.

But the next moment he saw a figure chasing after him.

"is her!"

Li Yanchu's heart stirred, and he suddenly raised his knife to strike. No matter how beautiful the woman was or whether she had ulterior motives towards him, since she had caught up with him, Li Yanchu would not hold back.

But the next moment he suddenly realized something was wrong. The light of the blade dissipated, and the woman's aura was extremely weak as she fell to the ground.

Li Yanchu frowned slightly and reached out to catch her.

Li Yanchu noticed that Ye Zi was tightly clutching the black box in her hand, and the black box was covered with cracks.

Li Yanchu gasped, "What's wrong with you?"

If Ye Zi were to kill him with his cultivation level, he wouldn't need to resort to such a disguise. Moreover, this black box is an extremely rare treasure, incredibly hard.

Everyone Li Yanchu had ever met was desperately chasing after it, yet they had never seen the black box suffer any damage. But now, the black box was covered in cracks.

This powerful woman, who could easily defeat the Nine Luminaries Saint Lord and kill the Supreme Saint Heavenly Venerable and Tu Tian, ​​was now barely breathing and extremely weak.

This turn of events happened so quickly that even a strong-willed person like Li Yanchu found it hard to accept for a while.

Ye Zi said weakly, "I'm sorry to have made you laugh at me, you stinky Taoist. I was chased and injured by my enemies, and now I've finally fallen into your hands."

Li Yanchu curled her lips: "You've been in my hands before, and not just me, you've been in the hands of many other people."

"…………" Ye Zi opened her eyes weakly and spat at him: "If you know what's good for you, you'd better get rid of me quickly, otherwise, my rival will catch up with you and you'll probably be dead."

Li Yanchu grinned: "Why would I abandon you? I'd just kill you or hand you over. Maybe that would even win over your rival."

Ye Zi gave a cold laugh, but her injuries were too severe at the moment, and she could only manage a weak smile, her demeanor was extremely cold.

Among Li Yanchu's own Daoist partners, Fang Qinglan was the kind of ice-cold beauty, and Li Yanchu had seen many with even colder smiles.
Especially when Li Yanchu offended Fang Qinglan, the chilling aura he exuded was enough to make one shiver. Having seen it so many times, one naturally becomes immune to it.

Li Yanchu was about to tease Ye Zi a few more times when suddenly an extremely powerful aura enveloped him.

Ye Zi's expression changed, and she urged, "If you want to live, hand me over. Maybe you can make a fortune from this."

Li Yanchu said, "That's rare. Aren't you quite alluring? I think Tu Tian is completely infatuated with you, even willing to die for you. Why don't you try to seduce Dao Ye?"

Ye Zi closed her eyes and stopped speaking.

The next moment, Li Yanchu's aura suddenly changed, and he rushed out with all his might.

Ye Zi slowly opened her eyes, looking at the ever-expanding void around her, and said weakly, "Li Yanchu, how do you know that I didn't pretend to be like this to deceive you and get you to help me escape?"

Li Yanchu snapped, "Shut up! Enough with the nonsense!"

Li Yanchu reached out and tapped Ye Zi's smooth forehead. Although Ye Zi was very weak at the moment, she was not to be outdone: "You dare to hit me!"

Li Yanchu felt very pleased; that blow was indeed very satisfying.

Seeing that Ye Zi still dared to talk back, and with that terrifying aura coming from behind again, Li Yanchu raised his hand and slapped Ye Zi's butt hard. Ye Zi's body stiffened, and disbelief appeared in her eyes.

Li Yanchu said, "If you keep talking nonsense, I'll strip you naked and hand you over. Even if it doesn't bring you a future, at least you won't be caught by that ruthless guy."

Li Yanchu sensed that Ye Zi was about to speak again, so he moved his hand up a few inches. Although Ye Zi was seriously injured, she also felt Li Yanchu's hand movement. Her expression changed, and she bit her lip tightly, not daring to speak. She just stared intently at Li Yanchu.

It has to be said that the most primal motivation was anger. She had looked like she was about to die, but now she was staring intently at Li Yanchu, and her pale face had even shown a bit of life.

Li Yanchu said, "Where is the primordial Dao Qi in your box? If you have it, quickly mobilize some of it."

Ye Zi snorted and said, "The box has been smashed, so where is the original Dao Qi?"

The next moment, Li Yanchu noticed that the black box in her hand had actually broken apart. The box shattered into pieces with a bang, then turned into ashes and disappeared into the world. The massive amount of primordial Dao Qi inside had all vanished.

This mouth… Li Yanchu’s heart ached as if it were bleeding. He had finally obtained this black box. Although he was somewhat wary of it, looking at the situation inside, he might be able to plot against those primordial Dao Qi. But now everything was ruined.

Li Yanchu said, "What a spendthrift! Did you squander all of this primordial Dao Qi?"

Ye Zi stopped talking. She had been glaring at Li Yanchu in anger and had been forcing herself to stay awake, but now she was very weak and fainted as soon as she closed her eyes.

"..." Li Yanchu's lips twitched, thinking to himself, "This guy is really difficult to deal with."

Li Yanchu carried Ye Zi as they traversed the void, pursued by the terrifying consciousness behind them.

Li Yanchu activated the Hunyuan Bu Er technique, and in an instant, all the auras disappeared into the world.

He traversed through time and space several times before finally shaking off the terrifying consciousness that was pursuing him.

He hid in a universe, and that consciousness swept over him, scanning him more than ten times, but Li Yanchu remained motionless.

More than a month later, that consciousness swept over again. Li Yanchu's heart was as still as water, as if he were dead, and he remained motionless. Ye Zi also remained in this position in his arms.

The previous search of consciousness was so rapid that Li Yanchu remained vigilant.

A year passed, and that consciousness didn't sweep over again for a long time, so Li Yanchu breathed a sigh of relief.

But he was a very cautious person, and he maintained this posture, activating the Hunyuan Bu Er method. Sure enough, that ancient and profound consciousness swept over again.

Li Yanchu cursed inwardly, "Why is this bastard being so cautious?"

After this consciousness swept over him, Li Yanchu quickly left and fled, while Ye Zi in his arms had not yet perished.

Seeing her dying state, Li Yanchu sighed: "No matter what, you killed a few of my enemies before, and I wouldn't care as long as you were alive. But now... it seems I have to lend a hand."

Li Yanchu gritted his teeth, and the next moment he transformed into a stream of light, traversing several universes before finally disappearing.
