After the Skyfall

Chapter 838 The frightened bird
After withstanding a single blow from two demon king weapons.

Jiang Chengzi, Tian Yunzi, and the other four Great Perfection Realm experts realized that something was wrong. The Taiyi Heavenly Venerable who had appeared before them was too strong and terrifying. If they did not join forces, in a one-on-one situation, even if they burned their Dao Flowers, they would find it difficult to last five rounds against him.

In a life-or-death struggle, one would be killed within moments of engaging in combat.

There's no suspense whatsoever; even escape is impossible.

This is their sense of crisis, not their wild imagination born of fear.

"What to do? What to do now?"

Faced with this life-or-death crisis, the Great Perfection experts who had lived for over a thousand years began to panic and lost their composure, realizing that they might very well perish here.

But they didn't want to die. They had finally found a way to cross realms and were about to find immortality again. How could they be willing to be killed in this world of Dharma decline?

The Dao Flower is burning too fast. The petals that represent magic power are disappearing one by one. Once all nine petals have fallen, they will fall back to the Three Flower Realm and it will be difficult for them to recover.

The reason why the Dao Flower burns so quickly is that a portion of the magical power gained is consumed by this world.

At this moment, Li Yi charged forward wielding the Demon King's weapon, and no one dared to stop him. They were unwilling to risk their lives to give other fellow Daoists a chance to survive.

escape!
The same thought popped into the minds of all six of them.

As a powerful expert at the Great Perfection Realm, even if he was no match for his opponent when he burned his Dao Flower, he would still be able to escape. Moreover, no matter how strong the Taiyi Heavenly Venerable in front of him was, he could not possibly kill all six of his people in one go.

The six figures immediately and in perfect unison fled in six different directions.

As long as we can hold out until fellow Daoists from other realms arrive, there is still a chance for things to turn around.

The idea is good.

However, the fact that the six of them scattered and fled at this moment would undoubtedly waste the peak strength they gained from burning the Dao Flower. If they had stayed together, they would still have been able to fight, and things might have turned around. But if they fled now, it would undoubtedly be a death sentence.

Li Yi quickly caught up with Tian Chengzi, the grandmaster of Tianyi Sect. The Demon King Soldier attacked again, and this attack was like a whale swallowing the heavens and earth, instantly engulfing him.

"Why me?" Tian Yunzi's eyes were bloodshot with rage and resentment.

He was so unlucky to be the first person targeted by the other party, and as the first person targeted, he naturally understood that he had no chance of escaping.

"There's no other way but to fight with all our might."

Tian Yunzi's three Dao flowers burned together, even if it meant he would become a mortal and pass away peacefully afterward, it was better than his soul being scattered now.

The burning of the three Dao flowers indeed brought about a level of power surpassing that of the peak period.

"Size as you wish, overturn rivers and seas, break for me."

He roared and used the long-standing Taoist techniques of the Tianyi Sect to reduce the power of the attack before him. He then used the technique of overturning rivers and seas to forcibly tear open a gap and withstand Li Yi's attack.

But the next moment.

A surge of dragon and tiger power shattered Tian Yunzi's Dao technique and struck him directly.

"what?"

Tian Yunzi found it hard to believe, but he saw it very clearly: under the collision of magical powers, this Taiyi Heavenly Venerable actually unleashed a Dragon-Tiger Divine Power with his bare hands.
What a joke.

What terrifying physical strength is required to unleash such power in a single punch?

But it's too late.

After taking that punch, Tian Yunzi was instantly sent flying. Before he even hit the ground, his body rapidly turned into dust in mid-air, as if he were being swept away by the wind.

This power was too strong, enough to completely annihilate his physical body and destroy his primordial spirit. The three flowers, which had not yet been completely burned out, shattered completely at this moment, turning into a pure spiritual energy that dissipated into the world.

Everyone was terrified when they sensed Tian Yunzi's aura disappear.

Although being targeted by this Taiyi Celestial Venerable would most likely result in death, this death was far too swift; he was killed in a single encounter.

But the next moment.

A cultivator at the Great Perfection Realm was targeted by Xuan Yuezi and had no way to escape. In the end, he was hit by a bright moon transformed from the Treasure Moon Disc. Even with his magic power burning and his peak strength restored, he was still no match for it and died with a miserable scream.

"Xuan Yuezi is a ruthless person too." As the grandmaster of the Heavenly Dao Sect, he couldn't help but wipe away a cold sweat as he fled.

Previously, with six against one, he had the advantage and could still put on airs as the grandmaster. Now, with two Grandmasters dying in one fell swoop, he could only pray that his grandmaster wouldn't be resented by the other party.

"Chase them, don't let a single one escape."

At that moment, Li Yi shouted and killed one person. Without pausing, he immediately took to the clouds and chased after the other person.

Xuan Yuezi did the same, choosing a target and chasing after it.

At this moment, Li Yi set his sights on the ancestor of the Heavenly Dao Sect. Although the other party was indeed fast enough and more skilled in cloud-riding techniques than he was, the competition now was not about the sophistication of the spells, but about the strength of their magical power.

The strength gained from burning the flower of mana was indeed considerable, but it was still insufficient to shake off Li Yi's pursuit.

In just a short while, Jiang Chengzi slowed down because most of his magical flower had burned out and he was running out of steam.

However, Li Yi has 105 acupoints, his magical power is strong enough, and he also has rare items to replenish his energy. In this world of declining Dharma, his endurance is not a problem at all.

"Damn it, how can this Taiyi Heavenly Venerable's primordial spirit perception be so strong? I changed my position several times and even used some spells to lure him away, but I still couldn't shake him off. If this continues, I'll be caught up with."

Jiang Chengzi began to panic.

Because Li Yi was getting closer and closer behind, catching up was an inevitable outcome.

Moreover, the spiritual energy in this world was depleted, so he could not replenish his magic power and could only watch helplessly as the petals on the Dao Flower burned out and withered.

After a few more attempts.

Jiang Chengzi gave up in despair. His magical flower had been completely burned out, his strength had greatly diminished, his realm had fallen to the Three Flowers Realm, and his speed had slowed down even more.

"There's no escaping it." Li Yi's icy voice echoed.

"Fellow Daoist, it is better to resolve enmity than to let it fester. Spare my life, and I will plant the Sacrifice Curse to serve you from now on. What do you say?" Jiang Chengzi roared behind him, channeling his magical power.

"Serve me? There's no such thing as a free lunch. All I want now is your life." Li Yi remained unmoved. He didn't take just anyone in; it was better to kill someone with such ill intentions.

Moreover, they've already made enemies, and they might turn on you in the future.

A dozen seconds later, he caught up with Jiang Chengzi. Without saying a word, he swung the Demon King Soldier in his hand, and a divine light slashed out, directly engulfing the opponent. Only a scream echoed in the heavens and earth, and then nothing was left.

After killing the opponent.

Li Yi knew that it would be difficult to catch up with the remaining two Great Perfection Realm experts.

The other party must have already escaped to a safe place to hide, so he didn't dwell on it and immediately turned back. He was worried that something had happened to Xuan Yuezi, because it seemed that the other party still had reinforcements.

Xuan Yuezi's situation was similar to Li Yi's. After chasing down the second person, she immediately returned to join Li Yi. As for the third person, she knew it would be difficult to kill him completely.

However, the opponent's Dao Flower burned away, his cultivation level dropped, and he could no longer return to the Outer Heaven. He would most likely pass away in this world and would no longer pose a threat.
