CHAPTER 883: CHAPTER 661: ESCAPE

Li Yi saw the Divine Blood Warrior from Beihuai City chasing after him. He dared not be careless at all, so he channeled his mana and performed the Cloud-Riding Technique.

Fortunately, he had now reached the Five Qi Realm. Although the Five Elements were not perfect, at least they were all present. At this moment, his mana was a world apart from before, able to unleash the true power of Tao Skills. Thus, his figure was like a streak of flowing light tearing through the sky.

In just a few seconds, he had already distanced himself from Beihuai City, disappearing into the horizon.

However, despite such speed, Li Yi still could not shake off the Divine Blood Warrior behind him.

From the heavens behind him came a series of deafening explosions, and at this moment, a blue figure erupted with unimaginable power. The surging force she released seemed as if it would overturn this part of the world.

Anything in its path would be destroyed.

"Is this the strength of a Divine Blood Lineage? Truly frightening."

Li Yi felt the sense of crisis from behind, his eyelids twitching. He estimated that, in the End of Dharma Cultivation World, the opponent’s strength would start at the Tri-Floral Realm.

However, he didn’t understand why the opponent kept targeting him, instead of chasing down the Exotic Blood Warrior called Mao Qiu.

"Nu Heng, you are a disgrace to the Beihuang Lineage, daring to betray Beihuai City."

An angry roar echoed, as the divine blood warrior known as Da Ze burst out once again with a mighty force.

This force increased his speed once more, closing the dangerously narrow gap between him and Li Yi.

Not good!

Li Yi sensed the danger. The opponent was determined to forcefully retain him at all costs.

His thoughts were quickly confirmed.

Suddenly, a blue divine light attacked from behind. With an overwhelming power that shook the entire heavens, the golden cloud beneath Li Yi’s feet was instantly shattered.

His Cloud-Riding Technique was forcibly dispelled by this violent force.

Li Yi dared not have the slightest carelessness. He immediately infused mana into his Red Feather Purple Gold Armor.

Accompanied by a resonant cry, a crimson Divine Bird spread its wings and flew, then opened its wings to shield both Li Yi and Nu Heng beside him, while the light of the Mid-grade Defense Taoist Artifact shone forth.

Amidst the violent tremors.

The radiance on the Red Feather Purple Gold Armor continuously disintegrated under a terrifying assault.

But fortunately, this Dao Artifact blocked the attack.

No matter how strong the opponent’s power was, at such a distance and covering such a large area, its power was greatly dispersed. Otherwise, even wearing this Dao Artifact armor, Li Yi would be in great peril.

"Nu Heng, helping the enemy escape, do you want to be hunted by the Beihuang Lineage for generations?"

The Divine Blood Warrior now emerged from the blue divine light, panting heavily, drenched in sweat, and severely exhausted.

After all, without understanding cultivation and spells, relying solely on the physical body to continuously unleash power over such a long distance, even a Divine Blood Lineage couldn’t endure it.

However, the extraordinary physique granted this warrior named Da Ze a strong recovery ability.

With just a moment of catching his breath, his strength was rapidly restoring.

If he had some food and drink, he would immediately recover to his peak.

Hearing Da Ze’s words, Nu Heng couldn’t help but show a bit of helplessness. She never expected Da Yi to be so decisive in rescuing Xiu Xiang from the Tribulation Prison, so she could only work with Da Yi to push the blame onto that Mao Qiu.

But it seems like they hadn’t fooled Da Ze’s eyes.

"Da Yi, he’s stalling to recover his strength. Don’t hesitate, let’s go immediately, he can’t catch us." Nu Heng urged Li Yi seriously without any extra words.

Li Yi also realized that this Divine Blood Warrior named Da Ze suffered severe exhaustion from long-distance pursuit. That last strike used up his remaining strength; otherwise, he would have already attacked, rather than waste words.

"Go."

He was not the type to dither. After stabilizing his form and blocking the opponent’s strike, he once again performed the Cloud-Riding Technique.

However, when Da Ze saw the golden cloud reappear beneath Li Yi’s feet, his anger erupted suddenly.

Clearly, the opponent intended to run again.

This escape speed was truly formidable; even as a Divine Blood Warrior, he found it hard to catch up.

"Coward, aren’t you also a Divine Blood Warrior? Do you only know how to run away?" Da Ze roared angrily, pushing his fatigued body to attack once more.

"My Divine Blood is in the process of transforming. If it completes, I will return to Beihuai City to face you." Li Yi said calmly.

At present, he wouldn’t foolishly engage a person of such immense strength.

This wasn’t a matter of cowardice, but of avoiding certain death.

As they spoke, Li Yi raised his hand and punched out, the Five-Colored Divine Light surging, the Dragon and Tiger Power converging. This punch seemed simple but contained the culmination of his years of cultivation, representing his peak power.

Boom!

In the heavens and earth, the dragon and tiger roared, turning the five-colored punch light into an indestructible edge, meeting the Divine Blood Warrior Da Ze.

Da Ze immediately dismissed his contempt when he felt this force, realizing that the person before him was not weak. In Beihuai City, he could even be considered a relatively powerful warrior.

But compared to himself, he was still much inferior.

At this moment, Da Ze’s body was interwoven with blue divine light, and he crossed his hands to forcibly withstand this attack.

The Five Rivers Land Formation Technique, combined with the Dragon and Tiger Power, was enough to pierce mountains and rivers, cut off lakes and seas. However, such power landed on Da Ze’s body without injuring him.

The opponent merely relied on his body to withstand Li Yi’s peak blow, and he was not even wearing armor.

"What a monster, simply inhuman," Li Yi’s mouth twitched.

Such a scene would absolutely shock the evolvers on Earth to no end.

But he also knew that this punch could not kill the opponent, only interfere with his pursuit, so after throwing a punch, he immediately rode the golden Xiangyun under his feet, transforming into a stream of light to quickly flee.

Da Ze blocked the blow, tore apart the Dragon and Tiger Power, and watched that golden stream of light sweep across the sky.

Exhausted, he couldn’t possibly catch up.

In the end, he could only let out an unwilling roar, letting Li Yi escape.

After shaking off the pursuit of this powerful Divine Blood Warrior, Li Yi finally breathed a little sigh of relief. Although the people of this world had obvious strengths, their weaknesses were also great. Lacking spells, they had immense and terrifying brute force but couldn’t fully utilize it.

"Actually escaped Da Ze’s pursuit," Nu Heng felt a bit surprised at this moment.

She thought both of them were surely doomed earlier.

"A powerful arrow. When strength is exhausted, it can’t even pierce silk. Even as a powerful Divine Blood Lineage, Da Ze’s stamina was depleted during the chase. Escaping wasn’t particularly difficult," Li Yi said calmly.

Nu Heng said, "But it’s just that we escaped for now. The Beihuang lineage people will surely hunt us down for generations. One day, we will die at the hands of the Beihuang Warriors."

"The situation you mentioned won’t happen. I need some time to transform. Once my transformation is complete, even the Divine Blood Warriors of the Beihuang lineage won’t be able to kill me. Then I will return to Beihuai City, defeat this Da Ze, and clear my name."

There was overwhelming confidence in Li Yi’s words.

Because as soon as he reached Five Qi Perfection, he could start the Five Qi Chaoyuan. At that time, his strength would advance by leaps and bounds, not to mention the Divine Blood was also nurturing. It wouldn’t take long before he became a true Divine Blood Linage.

He might even awaken Divine Arts.

However, before that, he didn’t want to fight strong enemies.

Breaking the cocoon to become a butterfly was at this moment. If it weren’t for the matter of Xiu Xiang, Li Yi would definitely continue staying at home, eating and drinking.

"Then I look forward to that day. Just before then, should Da Yi compensate me for some of my losses?" Nu Heng then said faintly, "Because of Da Yi’s actions, I gave up my status as Merchant Master of Beihuai City and am to be hunted by the Beihuang lineage, the loss is more than ten thousand in gold."

While riding the cloud, Li Yi said, "Nu Heng, what kind of compensation do you want?"

"I want a Divine Blood offspring. That demand shouldn’t be too much, right?" Nu Heng’s eyes showed a burning desire. Clearly, her idea of establishing a Divine Blood Family had not disappeared.

"..."

Li Yi was silent for a moment, then said, "Can’t you ask for something else besides offspring? I’ll compensate you with ten thousand gold. That’s the limit I can do. I’m sure with this ten thousand gold, you, Nu Heng, can definitely become a wealthy Merchant Master again."

Nu Heng thought for a moment and said, "But I don’t want ten thousand gold. If Da Yi is unwilling to give me a Divine Blood offspring, then please give me a treasure that can store goods."

"A storage magical artifact? Since you want that, then as you wish." Without much thought, Li Yi immediately took a storage magical artifact out of the Five Elements Bracelet and handed it to Nu Heng.

After all, in Li Yi’s eyes, a storage magical artifact is very cheap, not even comparable to ten thousand gold.

Nu Heng’s eyes lit up, and she immediately took it in hand.

"I will teach you how to use it, but this treasure can only store goods, not people," Li Yi explained.

"Is it slightly inferior to the one you hold, Da Yi? But it’s enough. Thank you for your generosity, Da Yi," Nu Heng was still very happy because such a treasure, she hadn’t seen even after traveling across many mountains and large cities.

Such a treasure being sold would be a very extravagant act; it should be kept as a family heirloom.

"No need to thank me. This is compensation for you, something you deserve," Li Yi said.

Indeed, every merchant master has a deep obsession with storage magical artifacts. After all, with this, one can trade in the Barbaric World and gain boundless profits.

With Nu Heng’s abilities, she will surely be able to make a comeback with this storage magical artifact in the future.

The principle of teaching someone to fish is better than giving them a fish is evidently understood by every merchant master.

That’s why Nu Heng refused the ten thousand gold compensation.
