Chapter 196 Li Sinian's Sneer

Li Chuyi naturally didn't know what Xia Bai was thinking. He was desperately using his magic power to control the flying sword and the Taoist talisman.

The first wave of attack failed to achieve the expected effect. He had already tried his best in this second wave of attack, trying to control the Taoist talisman and the flying sword, striving to make them more precise and orderly, instead of throwing them randomly and hitting them like before.

Waves of fatigue kept coming, not physically, but mentally. He was already divided, and now he had to spend so much energy to control so many weapons and Taoist talismans. With his cultivation and mental power, it was simply difficult to continue. If it weren't for his soul being stronger than ordinary people and the support of the mysterious and strange method of "Taoism Canon", others might have fainted due to exhaustion.

Resisting the increasingly strong sleepiness, he only had one thought in his mind.

On time!

On time again!

There is always a reward for hard work. This second wave of attack was more fierce than the first wave. The Taoist talismans and magic swords were orderly in chaos, and the levels were much clearer than the first wave. Moreover, those long swords used as flying swords also had some rules. They were no longer straight forward and backward, but had some simple sword moves between advance and retreat.

As the person involved, Xia Bai felt the pressure most directly.

The endless offensive constantly consumed the Hun Tian Zhong Ying, and fine cracks began to appear on the bell-shaped protection condensed by magic power, and gradually spread. Not long after, the bell shadow was covered with cracks, and it was obviously not going to last long as it was shaky.

Xia Bai's face was gloomy, and he gritted his teeth and cast a spell again. He slapped the bell shadow that was about to collapse, and suddenly another Hun Tian Zhong Ying condensed out.

However, the second condensed bell shadow was much smaller, and the aura it exuded was much weaker, obviously not as powerful as the first one. After it appeared, it did not directly face Li Chuyi's fierce offensive, but attached to the inner layer of the first bell shadow, treating it as a shell.

With the disguised reinforcement of the second layer of bell shadow, the outer layer of the bell shadow protection collapsed slightly, but it still could not escape the fate of being broken in the end.

Dong~~~

As if it were really a bell, the bell shadow made a bell sound and then exploded. Just as the protective fragments were about to disperse after the explosion, Xia Bai changed the spell in his hand, and some of them stopped moving and were absorbed by the inner bell shadow.

Looking at the inner bell shadow that was slightly condensed after absorbing the bell shadow fragments, Li Chuyi's face darkened.

Just after breaking through the first layer of protection, his Taoist talismans and flying swords had been consumed by nearly half. Looking at the inner bell shadow at this time, although it was not as thick and solid as the outer layer, he did not dare to guarantee that the remaining Taoist talismans and flying swords could break it, not to mention that there were three flying swords surrounding it.

He wanted to use this torrent tactic again, but his head was about to explode with pain, and he did not have any extra swords on him for him to squander. He picked up more than a hundred long swords in total, and he had thrown them all away in these two times. He still had a lot of Taoist talismans, but he did not guarantee that he could stop the opponent with just one Taoist talisman.

The art is to attack internally and hurt the Qi, while the skill is to attack externally and hurt the skin. After refining the spirit, the cultivator's body and body-protecting Qi have undergone qualitative changes. If the strength is equal, unless the moves are powerful enough to suppress the opponent, it is difficult for a single move to be effective.

Originally, Li Chuyi's swordsmanship was quite strong, and he had a great chance of getting rid of Xia Bai in a close fight. However, his physical injuries were too severe. Even if he swallowed five spirit-refining Qi, he only recovered slightly. If he rushed forward rashly without a flexible body, once he was caught by the opponent, he would have no choice but to die.

Therefore, he came up with such an incongruous method in a hurry, combining internal and external, using Taoist magic and flying swords at the same time, relying on numbers to disrupt Xia Bai's offensive, which led to the current results.

But now he has run out of tricks. The long swords in the storage bag are exhausted, and the useful animal skin long sword is on the way for several breaths to fly. Seeing that he can't do anything left and right, he can only bite the bullet and control the remaining flying swords and Taoist talismans to continue attacking.

The roar of sword chants and explosions continued to sound. When the Dao talisman and flying sword were all exhausted, Xia Bai's second layer of Hun Tian Zhong Ying was also broken and on the verge of destruction. But it was only on the verge of destruction. After all, it was not really broken. As Li Chuyi estimated, the remaining attacks failed to break Xia Bai's defense.

His pale face was covered with sweat. Xia Bai looked at the surroundings that had temporarily calmed down, looked at the remains of Hun Tian Zhong Ying, and hesitated slightly, showing a cold smile to Li Chuyi.

"Boy, you are dead!"

Licking his lips with a scarlet tongue, Xia Bai put away the flying sword and rushed forward with a long sword.

Although he defended, his mana was mostly consumed and was about to run out. The remaining mana was not enough to continue to drive himself and the flying sword, so he put away the flying sword and concentrated on himself.

With a gloomy face, Li Chuyi retreated quickly without hesitation. The two chased and retreated, both desperately, and the distance between them did not close for a while.

"You can't escape, death is your only ending!"

Xia Bai was not in a hurry, he knew that Li Chuyi's consumption must be much greater than his own. As long as he kept his mouth shut like this and prevented Li Chuyi from relaxing, the other party would sooner or later collapse and have a flaw, and he would kill him in one fell swoop.

In the distance, Li Sinian looked at the grinning Xia Bai and the embarrassed Li Chuyi, and sneered in his heart.

From the beginning of the war to now, he has been staying in the same place silently, neither running nor helping, just watching coldly.

Before, Xia Bai and others had sent him messages several times to ask him to help, but he was indifferent as if he didn't hear them. To outsiders, he seemed to be afraid of Li Chuyi. When Li Chuyi asked him to stay where he was, he really didn't move. In fact, only he knew that he didn't want to run, but he didn't dare to run.

With his eyelids slightly lowered, Xia Bai's heart twitched as he watched the purple light appearing on the grass around him.

He looked normal standing here, but in fact, Zi Yuan's aura had always locked onto him. The pressure caused by the powerful ghost power comparable to the late stage of soul refining made him shudder.

If it were just that, it would be fine. When he wanted to run away desperately, he found that the ground around him was already covered with dense ghost power without knowing it. It was secretly laid by Zi Yuan before leaving.

Surrounded by ghost power and locked by Zi Yuan's aura, he knew that even if these ghost powers couldn't hurt him, as long as they could stop him for a moment, it would be enough for the beautiful female ghost to come and kill him a thousand times. Therefore, he did not dare to move at all, and could only stand there and watch the situation develop.

Seeing that Xia Bai was strong and had the intention to kill Li Chuyi, Li Sinian sneered.

That beautiful female ghost even watched him so closely, how could she not care about Li Chuyi's life or death? At present, Ziyuan did not move, which only meant that Li Chuyi was not in danger of life and death, and the other party wanted to train this mysterious little ghost. If it really came to the moment of life and death, then what was waiting for Xia Bai would definitely be an unimaginable killing blow!

As for Li Chuyi mentioned by Xia Bai, Li Sinian also sneered.

Like most people, although the reputation of the Paramount was great, Xia Bai had only heard of it but had never seen it. Li Sinian was different. He had accidentally met someone from the Paramount once, and the other party's cruelty and ruthlessness made him unforgettable for life.

The Paramount was an evil cultivator among evil cultivators. Because their methods of doing things were too cruel, even many people in the evil way did not like them.

The Paramount was as its name suggested, and the people under it were mainly seeking pleasure. This pursuit of pleasure is not like what ordinary people think, reciting poems and composing essays, feasting and drinking, but rape, plundering, and extreme evil. People like the Xu family who rely on spiritual blood for cultivation are called the great evil in the evil way, and are despised by people of the righteous way. In the Paramount, not to mention drinking blood for cultivation, there are many people who kill people and eat meat, and refine living souls.

Xia Bai saw that Li Chuyi could absorb people's vitality for his own use, and there was a powerful female ghost Ziyuan to protect him, so he misunderstood Li Chuyi's origin. But Li Sinian knew that Li Chuyi was not a person from the Paramount at all. He might have acquired some evil method of collecting vitality by chance, but he was definitely not an extreme evil person like the Paramount.

If it were someone from the Paramount, Ziyuan would not have her own consciousness no matter how powerful she was. They would erase the consciousness of the evil ghost and refine it into a fierce evil without thoughts and only obeyed their orders. They would never let Ziyuan live freely like Li Chuyi without any control.

In the battle that Li Sinian saw, the master of Paramount controlled three powerful ghosts and sucked the opponent's yang energy alive and turned into a dried corpse. The ruthlessness and indifference of the three ghosts made Li Sinian tremble when he thought of them.

That was true ruthlessness, without the slightest emotional fluctuation, indifferent to all life, and the only meaning of existence was to control their master. Although Ziyuan was also very indifferent, indifference was also an emotion, not to mention that Ziyuan was an individual with independent consciousness, not a refined ghost at all.

Besides, although Li Chuyi's Taoism was very strange and he had never heard of it, the aura in it was very pure, which was definitely not something that could be cultivated by people in the evil way, let alone people from Paramount.

Therefore, although Li Chuyi was forced to be embarrassed by Xia Bai after being forced to die, Li Sinian was not worried at all. With Ziyuan, the overall situation was determined, and Xia Bai could not make any waves no matter how fierce he was. Now the only thing that interested Li Sinian was how long Li Chuyi could last.

Xia Bai naturally didn't know what Li Sinian was thinking. At this moment, he felt a wave of relief when he saw Li Chuyi, who was in a panic because of being caught up by him.

He thought Li Chuyi was a member of Paramount, so he thought he was dead. But before he died, he could drag Li Chuyi, who was obviously extraordinary and might be a disciple trained by Paramount, with him. He would die with his eyes closed.

Seeing that Li Chuyi, who couldn't dodge in time, opened another bloody wound, Xia Bai's face was ferocious, and his voice was a little distorted with excitement.

"Little ghost, die!"

He returned the sword, the sword pointed directly at the opponent's eyebrows, Xia Bai showed a perverted smile, waiting for the moment when his long sword bloomed on the opponent's forehead.

However, when he saw the calmness in Li Chuyi's eyes and the sneer on the corner of his mouth, Xia Bai's smile froze. Before he could think about it, he felt a chill behind his head and his scalp suddenly exploded.

At some point, the animal-skin sword came behind him, and silently, the cold sword tip was less than three inches away from the back of his head.
