Chapter 113 Regret

The two ran very fast, but the fire demon behind them was even faster, and the distance between them was shrinking at a speed visible to the naked eye.

Listening to the rumbling sound getting closer and closer behind them, and looking at the tunnel in front of them that seemed to have no end, the two looked at each other helplessly.

"We can't run away, let's fight!"

Yu Yao's voice came, and Li Chuyi's heart sank and his brows furrowed.

"There's no way to fight. Even if we take the explosive pill, the two of us can only fight it to a draw at most. Once the effect of the drug wears off, it's still a dead end!"

"So, the two of us can't fight it together."

Li Chuyi frowned when he heard it, as if he thought of something, and looked at Yu Yao in a daze, but saw Yu Yao also lowered her head to look at him, revealing a gentle smile.

"Wait, I'll stop it, you run."

Yu Yao smiled and said, although the words were light, but Li Chuyi's ears were shocked and dizzy.

"No!"

Li Chuyi immediately objected.

He had already had some guesses after hearing Yu Yao's words before. Now that he heard Yu Yao's decision, he certainly couldn't agree and rejected it outright.

Yu Yao smiled, her smile full of helplessness.

"I don't want to die either. I also want both of us to survive. But now that things have come to this, only one person can hold the fire evil and create an opportunity for the other to escape, so that there is a glimmer of hope. Instead of dying together, it's better to fight and see if one can survive."

"Then I'll go, you run!" Li Chuyi said.

Smiling and shaking her head, Yu Yao said in a gentle tone: "First, I am the senior sister and you are the junior brother. It is natural for the senior sister to protect the junior brother; second, my cultivation is far higher than yours. If I go up, I may be able to stop the fire evil for a while. If you go up, you will probably turn into ashes before you can get to it; third, you have saved my life before, now just think of it as my repayment to you."

"No, no way! If we die, we die together!"

Li Chuyi shook his head like a rattle, but suddenly felt his body lighten and felt like he was flying in the clouds again.

Looking at the scenery on both sides that kept flying away and Yu Yao who was gradually getting smaller, he knew that he was thrown out by Yu Yao again, but this time it was not to scare him, but to save him.

His body began to fall slowly, and a nameless anger rose in his heart.

He felt very aggrieved.

The Taoist cut through the void to save him and let him go first, while he stayed to face countless masters of Dayan, and his life and death were still unknown.

In order to save him, Baijie Taoist agreed to some conditions of the King of Zang. Although he only mentioned a few of these conditions lightly, he had his share, but Li Chuyi knew that it was definitely not as easy as he showed.

And this time, Yu Yao actually took that shitty explosive pill to save her and went to resist the fire alone. It is still unknown whether he can escape, but Yu Yao's fate is certain-she will die.

Facing crises again and again, he was powerless, which made him feel indescribably aggrieved.

Although he cherishes his life, he doesn't want to see someone sacrifice his life to save his. The Taoist priest had told him since he was a child that all human lives were precious, regardless of their status. He just couldn't figure out why his life was worth saving, and why all the people around him, both known and unknown, were desperate to protect him.

"I'm not worth it!"

Li Chuyi, who fell to the ground, kept roaring in his heart.

"I hate it!"

He really hated it, hating his own incompetence and his own fatigue.

Before the Taoist priest disappeared, he had been growing up peacefully under the protection of the Taoist priest. The Taoist priest was so powerful that he had an illusion that the Taoist priest was invincible, as if he would never be in danger as long as the Taoist priest was around.

Comfort leads to fatigue, and the Taoist priest was not a good master or teacher. Li Chuyi, who was not urged by anyone, was just lazy in his practice, and even his only motivation for practice was to be able to fly.

Heavenly way? Become an immortal?

Why bother with the Taoist priest?

This mentality lasted until the Taoist priest faced the siege of Dayan and had no choice but to send himself away first. At that time, he felt for the first time what it meant to be powerless and powerless.

Later, after a trip to the place where the king was buried, he finally began to practice seriously after successfully surviving with the help of the Taoist Baijie. In Ye Zhichen's thatched cottage, he spent almost every day in Ye Zhichen's study, trying to put those skills and secrets that he could understand into his mind. He would try his best to ponder the meaning of these skills and scriptures when he had nothing to do, and he would ponder the ten more obscure "Daodian" scriptures when he had time.

In a daze, he learned to practice several methods at the same time.

Under the guidance of Ye Zhichen, he practiced hard for half a year, and finally achieved a small success in swordsmanship, and his skills even reached the stage of forming a pill.

At the age of thirteen, the swordsmanship entered the realm of momentum. If others knew about it, they would definitely be dumbfounded and secretly say that he was a monster.

But Li Chu didn't think he was extraordinary at all. He started practicing with the Taoist at the age of three and followed the Taoist every day. If he had awakened and practiced hard earlier, his achievements would definitely be much higher than now. Such progress in half a year was nothing more than the result of years of accumulation.

He just felt a little relieved. Seeing his progress, he felt that he could soon set out to find the whereabouts of the Taoist priest. For some reason, he always had a vague feeling that the Taoist priest would not come to Tianmen Mountain to find him, and that the Taoist priest seemed to be in some trouble, a trouble that threatened his life.

It was this feeling of uneasiness that made him more diligent. On the surface, he still looked lazy and playful, but behind the scenes, he worked several times harder than others.

He wanted to make up for it, he wanted to catch up with the wasted time.

This time when he went down the mountain, he felt that he had recovered some of the time, and deep in his heart, he was even a little proud and carried away, so that he always gave people a feeling of confidence, as if he had always had some trump cards in his hand, and he seemed to be full of mystery.

However, at this time and in this place, he was beaten back to his original form again, and the pride in his heart had long disappeared.

Feeling the severe pain from his back falling on the ground, feeling the burning feeling of the ground burning his back, Li Chuyi didn't care in his heart, only full of anger and regret.

"Once again, it's like this again, there is no way, and I am powerless."

Muttering in his mouth, he slowly stood up.

"Why do you save me? Why do you save me? What do I have that's worth saving? Do I know you well?"

As he said that, he pulled the gourd out of the storage bag and shook it back and forth vigorously.

"Gourd, gourd, show your power and save us again, just once, okay?"

The gourd had no reaction, just like an ordinary rotten gourd, quietly staying there.

"Alas..."

Li Chuyi sighed, he naturally knew that the gourd would definitely not react.

The gourd was able to save him before because he put the gourd in a spring with extremely rich spiritual energy in Ye Zhichen's thatched cottage when he was on the mountain, and let the gourd absorb spiritual energy and recover for half a year.

The powerful power of the life and death has consumed the gourd's accumulation for half a year. At this time, it is almost dry and naturally has no reaction, and Li Chuyi just holds a glimmer of hope to see if there is a miracle.

Putting away the gourd, Li Chuyi took out the demon-suppressing mirror again, but just took a look and put it back.

Although Zi Yuan's skills were quite strange and evil after she practiced the "Book of the Netherworld", her magic power was not yet at the Nascent Soul stage. She could not help at all. Instead, she might be eroded by the strong fire around her and hurt her ghost body. Therefore, it was useless to call her out.

After searching for a long time, Li Chuyi did not find anything that could help.

Hearing the faint shouts and roars from afar, Li Chuyi made up his mind and gnashed his teeth with a ferocious face.

"You think I'm weak? You think I can't kill you? Damn it, I'm going to kill you today!"

"Not only will I kill you, but I'll also expose your pit!"

The fat on his face trembled unconsciously, and Li Chuyi's expression became a little crazy, with a hint of fear in his madness.

"I don't want to die, I really don't want to. But I don't want you to die to save me, this is wrong, who lives is not alive?"

After a long time of neurotic chattering, he suddenly thought of something, and the madness on his face eased slightly.

"The Taoist priest saved me before, but the Taoist priest is invincible in the world, I believe no one can kill him! Baijie Taoist priest saved me, even if we don't talk about conditions, with his cultivation, the half-crippled Burial King can't keep him, so he won't die!"

"But this time, this time is different! If she encounters that fire evil, Yu Yao will definitely die!"

"I can't let her die, not only because it's not worth it, but also because I said I would protect her!"

Thinking of this, he showed a happy smile.

"To die to save a beautiful woman, this is called a hero saving a beauty. I guess the Taoist priest won't call me a moron if he knows it?"

The madness and fear disappeared, and Li Chuyi's face was only firm.

Looking at the direction where the fighting sound came from with burning eyes, he suddenly swallowed the small piece of explosive pill that had been pressing against his upper lip.

Feeling the mana in his body gradually surging faster and faster until it turned into a violent force that seemed to stretch his body apart, giving him a strong desire to vent, Li Chuyi smiled slightly.

"Grandson, I'm here!"

The person who spoke had disappeared before the words had faded.

Turning his head, Li Chuyi's speed was several times faster than before, heading in the direction of the fighting sound, and disappeared with a series of afterimages.
