"Let’s go."
After discussing the plan yesterday afternoon, everyone went to rest and agreed to et at the west gate today at Chen ti.
And with the arrival of the last person, Bo Li, the team leader, promptly declared their departure.
Bo Li brought out a Spirit Boat, and everyone quickly boarded it. Then, under the surprised gaze of Li Zhirui, the Spirit Boat slowly began to hide itself!
"Hahaha." Bo Li, seeing Li Zhirui’s surprise, laughed and explained, "My Spirit Boat has a special restriction that allows it to blend in with its surroundings."
"Impressive!" Li Zhirui sincerely praised.
At the sa ti, he beca curious about Bo Li’s identity. Ordinary Foundation Establishnt Loose Cultivators wouldn’t have a chance to possess a Magic Artifact with such a precious restriction. Li Zhirui thought that even if he were a Golden Core expert, he would want to possess this Spirit Boat.
Therefore, the other party must co from so significant force, having concealed their identity just. Whether Bo Li was purely seeking experience or had another purpose remained unknown.
Of course, Li Zhirui kept all of his conjectures to himself. Like everyone else, after saying that remark, he quietly sat on the boat, waiting for the right mont to act.
"Bo Li Team is heading out again?" A Loose Cultivator said enviously.
It had to be said that Bo Li Team indeed had a reputation; as soon as they left the city gates, so Cultivators spotted them.
"What do you think, how many Demon Cultivators will they kill and bring back this ti?"
"I heard that last ti they brought back the corpses of more than a dozen Foundation Establishnt Demon Cultivators. It’s likely they won’t do much worse this ti."
The Loose Cultivators showed envy as Foundation Establishnt Demons Cultivators were worth thousands of Contribution Value points, far surpassing any of their gains.
"But have you noticed, Bo Li Team has an extra mber?" A Loose Cultivator suddenly said.
After recalling for a mont, they realized that the usual seven-mber Bo Li Team had an unfamiliar face today. They said, "Right! Who is that person? He actually managed to join the Bo Li Team."
Li Zhirui had only arrived at South Mountain Immortal City two days ago, so naturally, these Cultivators couldn’t recognize him, and at that mont, he knew nothing about the discussions and inquiries among the Loose Cultivators.
Because soon after, they encountered a group of Demon Cultivators moving across the battlefield, looking for "prey." Explore more at .Côm
Cultivators viewed Demon Cultivators as prey and vice versa. In the eyes of Demon Cultivators, Cultivators were excellent materials, and they were even more enthusiastic about hunting Cultivators. Skins, flesh, and so on would all fetch a good price for them.
"There are nine Foundation Establishnt Demon Cultivators in total, three late-stage, five mid-stage, one early-stage, but..." Bo Li frowned, feeling that sothing wasn’t quite right with the situation.
In the ranks of Demon Cultivators where strength ruled, traditionally, the early-stage Demon Cultivator would absolutely be bait or a trap. But now it was different; that Demon Cultivator was being protected by everyone else.
"It’s like the noble sons in the mortal world taking trips, surrounded by a host of attendants and guards who protect them with extre caution," remarked Bai Ruohan, one of the two female Cultivators amongst the nine, in a soft voice.
"If we consider this, the person’s status in Yin Wind Cave must be quite high; there might even be a Golden Core relative behind them."
The group hesitated. The person certainly had life-saving Spiritual Objects on hand, which could allow them to escape.
More importantly, if they were backed by a Golden Core expert and the group ended up killing that Demon Cultivator, what would they do if the Demon Golden Core pursued them relentlessly?
Though demon cultivators are known for their detached emotions, who can guarantee that sothing unexpected won’t happen?
"We can’t escape," Li Zhirui suddenly said.
Because the enemy had discovered their presence!
Despite the Spirit Boat being extraordinary, it wasn’t without flaws, and the enemy either had a treasure in hand or a talent among them.
In his vision, the enemy suddenly gathered, summoning a disorienting black banner that shone with dark light and shot straight towards their location.
Li Zhirui was the first to notice the attack, and naturally, his reaction was the fastest. Seeing the assault coming, he instantly cast a spell, conjuring a series of water shields out of thin air, blocking the black light.
Although he wasn’t particularly adept at defensive spells, that was only in comparison to offensive spells. In fact, he had so talent in spellcasting, so the power of his spells wasn’t too shabby.
"Attack!"
Since their opponents had taken the initiative to strike, they wouldn’t hesitate anymore. They were facing only a re Golden Core relative; it wasn’t enough to make them flee at the re ntion of danger.
As soon as they took action, Li Zhirui understood the composition of this team. Among the two at the Foundation Establishnt stage, one was proficient in formations, quickly setting up a trapping formation with a flip of his hand—far more capable than Li Shiren.
The other excelled at various support spells, enhancing the power of their companions’ spells significantly when combined.
For loose cultivators, those who specialized in support spells were few and far between, rarer than phoenix feathers and qilin horns, because such cultivators needed to cooperate with others. Alone, they would have little combat prowess to speak of.
The other five mbers were formidable as well. Bo Li’s attack was sharp and powerful, while the rest had their own roles, specializing in defense, entanglent, and disruption.
When they worked together, the strength they displayed far exceeded any solo combat.
However, their precision teamwork made Li Zhirui, who had recently joined, sowhat constrained, fearing that his own attacks might interfere with theirs.
Having no choice, Li Zhirui singled out a peripheral demon cultivator to engage in combat alone.
"Get lost!" The demon cultivator, rely at the mid-stage of Foundation Establishnt, felt uneasy when singled out by Li Zhirui. After a brief exchange, fear overwheld him.
Because he realized he had absolutely no power to resist!
Under Li Zhirui’s fierce onslaught, in just a short ti, the demon cultivator found himself in grave danger, his hair disheveled, his vestnt robe torn, and even his Hundred Ghosts Banner had no fierce ghosts left to call upon.
In contrast, Li Zhirui seed at ease, as if he hadn’t used his full strength. With just his Wooden Dragon Skill, he cornered his opponent.
Bang!
A strong will to survive caused the demon cultivator, like a lizard shedding its tail to escape, to forcefully detonate his Hundred Ghosts Banner that he had cultivated for many years.
The powerful and terrifying blast turned the wooden dragon to smithereens, and then he took the opportunity to burn his essence blood and flee into the distance.
This was one of the reasons why demon cultivators were so difficult to deal with—they had various escape techniques, even if they ca at a trendously harsh cost. There was still a chance they could make ands later.
On the cultivators’ side, while they had a variety of secret techniques at their disposal, the costs were not insignificant. But due to the lack of ans to make ands, or because they were kept hidden by powerful factions, few cultivators used these secret techniques.
