Chapter 972: Chapter 10: You? Worthy?!
"But you talked so much with me, don’t you also have ulterior motives?"
Li Guanyi gazed at the woman manifesting through the Demon Sect’s secret technique and smiled:
"Is that so?"
Xiao Yuxue suddenly felt a slight unease in her heart.
Li Guanyi lifted the Fierce Tiger Sky Shouting Halberd in his hand and suddenly pointed it at the ground. The silver-haired girl clasped her hands together, threads of starlight scattered, and then with the power of the two, on the ground appeared streams of flowing light, converging and forming into a formation.
This was no longer Si Wei’s Four Symbols Sealing Spirit Formation.
More complex, more intensive.
The Four Great Legends: Whale Fishing Formation.
This formation directly enveloped Xiao Yuxue as well. Li Guanyi rotated the halberd in his hand in a circle, the halberd’s edge grazing the ground, sneering:
"I am waiting for the formation, what are you waiting for?"
He then wielded his weapon and charged forward, laughing: "Old brother, if you don’t act now, this person will escape again!" The formation emitted waves of flowing light, Xiao Yuxue’s expression changed drastically, she no longer had the heart to probe, suddenly dispersing.
The formation completed, the flowing light gathered and rippled like water waves.
The formation suddenly expanded, instantly surpassing the level Li Guanyi had temporarily laid down, as if it had expanded to the edge of the world and connected with the sky.
A pale golden thread suddenly flew out from the water wave.
It directly landed on Xiao Yuxue.
Xiao Yuxue transformed into a series of afterimages, congregating and dispersing, escaping the formation, sprinting out of the town in one breath, then heading towards a more distant place, her movement technique ethereal, coming together and breaking apart in an instant, vanishing who knows where.
Li Guanyi chased to a distance before withdrawing the Divine Weapon in his hand, saying:
"What kind of method... she really runs fast."
"With a great senior acting, this person cannot escape."
The Fierce Tiger Sky Shouting Halberd in Li Guanyi’s hand scattered.
Came here to collect a deed, unexpectedly stumbled upon a branch of the Demon Sect.
Is it simply bad luck, or is the Demon Sect’s influence in the Western Regions so vast and sprawling like the roots of an old tree, deeply entrenched, that any slightly larger settlement or oasis would have the Demon Sect’s influence.
Even the slightest attempt to defy the established rules of the Western Regions infringes upon the Demon Sect’s interests, and once those interests are infringed, one would inevitably face these people; come into contact with the middle layer of the Demon Sect, encounter the accumulated Qi Fortune of the Demon Sect.
Any desire to act would inevitably collide with the Demon Sect.
Li Guanyi gazed into the distance, his eyes slightly narrowed.
Western Regions, Demon Sect...
"Leave this matter to the senior for now, contact the senior later."
"Yao..."
A soft voice, Li Guanyi felt the silver-haired girl’s head gently bumping against his back, Li Guanyi was slightly startled at first, then his expression quieted down, Shaking Light’s emotions had been stripped away, but she could still feel people’s hearts.
She immediately sensed Xiao Yuxue’s intent.
The silver-haired girl hugged Li Guanyi’s waist, the young man reached out and pressed the girl’s hand, responding as Shaking Light did to him: "Don’t worry."
"I am here."
"Mm..."
The silver-haired girl slightly tightened her embrace on Li Guanyi, saying: "I know."
...
Xiao Yuxue, aided by peerless divine skill, darted far away, out of the formation’s area, not ensnared by that thread, and seeing Li Guanyi not pursuing her, she initially breathed a sigh of relief, slightly at ease, saying:
"Such juniors, yet so fierce..."
"Amidst the chaos in the Central Plains, the people who competed their way out are indeed still so tricky."
Suddenly a bland voice came: "Still?"
Xiao Yuxue’s expression paused slightly, sensing something amiss, the surrounding air inexplicably became moist, much damper, she looked up, the azure sky distant, cloudless for miles, suddenly the sky also seemed to ripple, a thread dropped down from above.
Drifting like clouds, it landed on Xiao Yuxue.
Xiao Yuxue’s expression froze on her face, then she sighed, ceased struggling, just looked up, with that beautiful face smilingly saying: "Such methods, Sir is indeed ruthless and heartless."
The sky like water ripples, countless ripples emerging.
Amidst the clouds, as if a silver-haired man descended like a god, Xiao Yuxue was ’fished up’, glancing around, the world like a jar, the silver-haired man holding a fishing rod in one hand, lifting the jar with the other, but it was him fishing this Primordial Spirit into his hand from miles away.
Such methods, worthy of being called divine and demonic, deserving of legend.
In tales of the Martial World, the single strongest is Sword Madman.
Those who dabbled the most, however, are the Taoist Sect and Formation Leader.
Given time, they can create countless profound and unimaginable wonders, akin to Immortal Techniques and Divine Techniques.
Xiao Yuxue closed her eyes, no longer speaking.
The Whale Hunter sneered, but spoke not a word, directly shattering this thread of Primordial Spirit, and the old Siming who acted with Whale Hunter sighed, just feeling that fate plays tricks, the two meet today, yet neither speaks, only deliver a killing blow.
One knows pleading and interceding are useless.
One is just resolute.
While lamenting the impermanence of the world, suddenly heard the silver-haired man grit his teeth: "Son-in-law?"
"What kind of person do you think you are, to even deem yourself worthy of a son-in-law?!"
The old Siming was astonished, seeing the silver-haired man’s face flush red, eyes spewing fire:
"Old Siming, send a message to that brat Li Guanyi for me, I’m not waiting any longer, this woman’s practicing Demon Sect’s Magic Skills, her Primordial Spirit endlessly transforms, I’ve only destroyed one, but her true body still exists, she already knows we’ve come here."
"Since it’s like this, I’m off to the Demon Sect’s stronghold to kill to my heart’s content."
...
Because of Hou Zhongyu’s version of the tri-flavored mixed powder, the thousand garrison troops in this town were drugged to their muscles softening, utterly exhausted, astonishingly allowing Fan Qing and his group to take the town without bloodshed, binding the garrison, then taking control of the town, everything went smoothly.
