Zhi Youzi and Ziguzi didn't quite understand what "I've got you covered" ant.
But a cultivator knows other cultivators and demons best. Thus, they knew that the other party didn't really care whether they understood the aning of the words or not, just as they didn't care about what two ordinary people had said to them.
However, based on the tone and expression of the other party, they could roughly understand the aning that those three words wanted to convey.
These demons, and that Painting Daoist, Li Yunxin... they're quite bold.
With Master Yue Yunzi in charge of Weicheng and dozens of fellow cultivators in the city, they dared to appear so brazenly!
After having such thoughts, the two cultivators felt a little calr and were ashad of their previous panic. Appearing at this ti, in this manner, the other party seed to only want to convey an attitude or send a signal.
The entire city of Weicheng was under the control of the Daoist Orthodoxy. If they were to truly harm the two of them, or even just engage in a fierce fight here, it would break the delicate balance in the city.
However, there were more people on the other side, and they didn't know the thods of the Painting Daoist. So, after a slight relaxation, Zhi Youzi said to Li Yunxin with a cold face, "Daoist Brother Li. I didn't expect you to be alive. But a Painting Daoist is also a cultivator, practicing the Celestial Heart Orthodox Law. Why do you associate with demons?"
Li Yunxin stared at him for a while, then looked at Ziguzi. Then, while pointing at the two of them with his fan, he turned to the few spirits beside him and said, "Sheriff and Shan-ji are now at the Illusory Realm. Shuke and S'ky are still at the Intent Realm. Your cultivation speed is already an incredible divine speed for a Human Cultivator. But when it cos to fighting, whether you can win is only one aspect of it. Experience, Daoist Arts, equipnt, ntality, courage, and so on are all very important."
"Now these two down here, one is at the Illusory Realm and one is at the Intent Realm, with cultivation levels similar to yours. However, their Daoist Arts are more skilled than yours, and they have more fighting experience, so you are probably no match for them. Shan-ji, don't be unconvinced."
Li Yunxin's attitude angered Zhi Youzi and Ziguzi. Unlike the contempt of ordinary people who truly knew nothing, this was the contempt of a fellow cultivator.
In fact, it wasn't even contempt—it was disregard.
But they were not Ying Jueran and ng'e. They didn't think that the other party was too much more brilliant than them. Although a Painting Daoist was rare, they had seen them before. So Grotto-heavens and Schools enshrined them. In the eyes of the cultivators of the Daoist Orthodoxy and the Sword Sect, a Painting Daoist was actually not a very orthodox cultivator. Or rather, a "simplified version of a cultivator."
They only cultivated their realm, not Daoist Arts.
Zhi Youzi had previously reminded Ziguzi to be careful of Painting Daoist Li Yunxin's thods because even without Daoist Arts, a Painting Daoist setting a trap with a painting scroll and a Painting Formation was extrely troubleso.
However, this cautious thought was now subrged by the contempt they were experiencing. The two Taoist priests, who had only passed the Passion Tribulation, were enraged. They felt that even if they were not as skilled and couldn't defeat all the demons, they needed to let them know that the cultivators of the Daoist Orthodoxy were not ants that could be easily crushed.
They were not ordinary people.
However, Zhi Youzi's thoughts were more determined, while Ziguzi was slightly hesitant. He was at the Intent Realm. Yet, judging by Li Yunxin's tone, the two with the lowest cultivation levels on the other side were also at the Intent Realm. He was afraid that he would suffer a serious injury, which would affect his future cultivation.
Therefore, he tried to stop him. "They are, after all, nurous. Senior Brother, let's avoid the lilight for now."
"Haven't you realized what the situation is today?" Zhi Youzi looked at him seriously. "The Divine Dragon Cult has a sche in the city. Now they know that we may make a move. So, they have sent people to do sothing. This is a warning, an ultimatum. If we show weakness and let them manipulate us, we will not only lose face for the Daoist Orthodoxy and our Master, but we will also be ridiculed by them tonight."
"Only by letting them know that we are not easy to manipulate can we gain respect. Respect cos from strength."
Ziguzi had to admit that Zhi Youzi's words made a lot of sense.
They truly did make sense.
So, he stopped talking and let Zhi Youzi say loudly, "I first thought that the Divine Dragon Cult's cult leader was just a puppet. Now, from the mouths of those two, I know that it is precisely the Painting Daoist, Li Yunxin. You are not dead. Since you are not dead, I don't want to ask you how you saved your life."
"But you need to think carefully. Demons are, after all, a different species. If you have no choice, after this matter in Weicheng is over, you might still be forgiven by the Daoist Orthodoxy. But the premise is, Daoist Brother Li, you can be forced to act by demons, but you must not help the tiger."
Li Yunxin heard his words and felt that Zhi Youzi's words were beautiful. He had made a resounding statent, declared his stance, and also given himself a way out.
So, he looked at the Chicken Spirit again and shook his head with a smile. "You are really not convinced? Alright, alright, I've been spoiling you before. You still don't know how dangerous this world is. Then go down and have so fun. Pick one of the two people. If you defeat either one, after this matter is over, Liuhe Prefecture will be under your command. This way, the na I gave you wasn't for nothing."
A colorful man beside him imdiately shouted and jumped into the alley.
Zhi Youzi's eyes widened in anger. "Is Daoist Brother Li truly going to humiliate us like this?"
Li Yunxin ignored him.
The Illusory Realm Taoist priest then shouted in a low voice, "Even if we are to fight, it should not be with this demon. You should personally make a move!"
The black-clad woman on the wall seed to have heard a joke and suddenly laughed. Her slender and soft waist bent like a drooping willow, and her whole body leaned on Li Yunxin as she said charmingly, "My King, look at the foolish things that idiot is saying."
Li Yunxin just smiled. "Be careful."
Hearing his words, the Chicken Spirit flew toward the two cultivators, looking as if it was not afraid of death.
This surprised Zhi Youzi and Ziguzi.
This demon had no magical artifacts, no hand seals, and used no Daoist Arts. It just ca with its physical body. Was this a tactic to lure the enemy or did it have another ultimate move?
Zhi Youzi only had ti to glance at Li Yunxin on the wall when the gust of wind brought by the demon's attack arrived.
Ying Jueran and ng'e, who were still slightly worried about their own fate, couldn't help but inwardly praise when they saw this scene. What a brilliant skill!
The man called Shan-ji crossed the distance of a dozen steps in an instant. His hands bent into claws in mid-air, and the gust of wind they brought out could be felt even where they were. According to the martial arts experience of these two, they had no doubt that this Shan-ji could tear apart hard stone with one claw. This was no exaggeration!
Because they couldn't figure out the demon's thoughts, the cultivator Zhi Youzi chose a more stable thod. He used a magic brush and wrote a Talisman in the air.
A cultivator writing a Talisman creates a three-step barrier in front of them. Although the barrier and the prohibition were related to the cultivator's cultivation realm, they were, after all, born according to the laws of heaven and earth, and their defensive power could not be underestimated. As soon as this prohibition was ford, it imdiately took effect. The Chicken Spirit, which was attacking through the air, hit the invisible barrier with a bang and was imdiately sent back four or five steps.
At the sa ti, the Talisman that Zhi Youzi belonged to also took effect. The shadows in the alley, which were ford by the moonlight, seed to have a life of their own and quickly transford, "stinging" the fallen Chicken Spirit.
With this strike, it imdiately lost its human form and was sent back to its original form!
Ying Jueran and ng'e were stunned. Such a terrifying blow was sent back from the air. And the person turned into a... chicken.
Zhi Youzi and Ziguzi were also stunned. They really didn't expect that this demon... was actually just relying on its physical body to pounce!
What was it trying to do?
They turned to look at Li Yunxin. They found that Li Yunxin was also looking at them. His eyes were not friendly.
In fact, they were quite unfriendly.
"Are you crazy?" Li Yunxin glared at Zhi Youzi and said, as if he had just suffered a great injury and was extrely aggrieved. "You... sent it back to its original form!"
Zhi Youzi and Ziguzi exchanged glances, frowned, and felt a little confused.
They didn't quite understand what this Li Yunxin ant.
Was he actually... deliberately letting those demons co one by one to die... was there truly another reason?
Or was it...
Zhi Youzi said in a deep voice, "What do you an, Daoist Brother Li? When facing a demon, do you want to show rcy? Moreover, it was you who wanted that demon to jump down and fight us."
The red-crested rooster turned around on the ground a few tis in a daze, found its direction, and jumped onto the wall with a flap of its wings.
Li Yunxin looked at him in silence for a while. Then he suddenly seed to stop being angry and smiled instead. "So, you really haven't figured out the situation."
"You rotten Taoist priests are so annoying. Yue Yunzi is too smart, and you are too stupid. Can't you find a middle ground? It would save a lot of effort." Li Yunxin sighed. "Alright, then let tell you the current situation."
"Tonight, you two were unlucky and ran into this Black Saber and Killer Ghost, so you know that I am not dead." Li Yunxin spread his hands. "Do you know what this ans?"
"Daoist Brother Li, just speak directly," said Zhi Youzi in a deep voice. "Why beat around the bush?"
Li Yunxin helplessly touched his forehead. "... the who is standing in front of you right now."
"I survived the fight between the Dragon's Son and Lingkongzi. And also a Great Profound Realm demon. You two know that Dragon's Son Chiwen died, right? You also think that the Manifestation Realm peak Lingkongzi died, right? And you know that the one who killed Lingkongzi was a Great Profound Realm demon. I was in the middle of these three terrifying people, and I still survived!"
"Hmm? Do you understand now?"
Zhi Youzi and Ziguzi exchanged glances and frowned.
Li Yunxin finally gave up. He spread his hands. "Alright, my friends. This ans that I have a great secret on . My identity is also a great secret that your Master Yue Yunzi doesn't know."
"So now that you know such a secret... do you still think that I will let you leave this alley alive?"
"I'm just wondering why you can't figure this out." He pointed at Zhi Youzi and Ziguzi in a tone of disappointnt. "If I knew that I was going to die and the big villain didn't plan to kill for the ti being, but instead sent a small minion to play with , I would definitely try to stall for ti with that minion. You know, countless villains die from talking too much. I would try to find an opportunity, or even try to make the big villain find interesting and save my life."
"But you just sent my Red Dragon Emissary back to its original form. So I'm asking you, my friends, are you crazy? Do you... not want to live anymore?"
After the Painting Daoist nad Li Yunxin said these words, Zhi Youzi and Ziguzi finally realized that they were not facing a "normal cultivator."
This person was a madman. And an extrely arrogant and presumptuous madman.
Surrounding them in the alley and mocking them was reasonable. Letting his minions provoke them was also reasonable. Even breaking their hands and feet and letting the demons insult them would be "reasonable." But now, he was speaking to them with an attitude of "you were supposed to obediently beg for rcy, but now you are not being obedient and sensible enough"!
Zhi Youzi was furious in his heart. The magic brush in his hand imdiately glowed with a faint green light. He took a step forward and widened his eyes. "You—"
"Don't even think that your Master will avenge you in the future," Li Yunxin interrupted him, looking down at him coldly from the wall, waiting for his anger to brew. "Now you feel that I am unreasonable and extrely arrogant, and a rage has grown in your hearts to fight to the death. Although cultivators all cherish their lives, your two realms are too low, and you still don't understand what true life-cherishing is."
As he spoke, he stood up and put away his arrogant and frivolous attitude. "What I want is this result right now. You are extrely angry. Because only when an extrely angry person dies, their obsession will be extrely strong and they will rember what happened before they died very clearly. But you still have a little bit of hope in your hearts."
"This hope cos from what happens after death. You think Yue Yunzi will do sothing."
"Now let tell you. The reason why I will kill you two in this alley tonight and not worry that Yue Yunzi will angrily destroy the Divine Dragon Cult is because—"
In the midst of the two cultivators' astonishnt and disbelief, Li Yunxin smiled cruelly and added the last sentence. "He asked to do it. I kill you thirty-six cultivators, and he gets the power that the Daoist Orthodoxy gives him. I live, and he profits. Welco to the real world."
Such a sentence caused a huge wave in the hearts of the two cultivators. The shock temporarily prevented them from calming down and thinking about whether what the other party said was true or false. Zhi Youzi's eyes twitched rapidly a few tis, and he suddenly roared at Li Yunxin in a fit of rage, "Even if I die, I will drag you down with ! Take this move of mine!"
He finally decided to attack this Painting Daoist. Before he died, even if he couldn't kill him, he had to leave him with at least one wound!
However, the white-clad person standing coldly in the darkness on the wall did not move.
He just... slightly bent his finger. For so reason, this made Zhi Youzi and Ziguzi suddenly and inappropriately think of how they were when they wanted to kill those two people from the world.
The two cultivators felt their hearts suddenly sink. The alley seed to be suddenly separated from this world. And the few demons on the wall and that Li Yunxin... seed to have suddenly gone far away to the ends of the earth!
The people and things in this alley were temporarily cut off from their fate with this world. Just like what they did during the day. Only it was stronger.
Then, they heard soone speaking from the darkness at the other end of the alley. The voice was sharp and strange, making people's hair stand on end.
"Oh... you... hee hee, you are not worthy of my King making a move."
"Hmph... so bold. Why don't you kneel when you see , your Empress!"
"Hee hee... I'll play with you."
They saw a fiery red figure walk out of the darkness.
Flas suddenly appeared.
