Chapter 12: The Enemy
The sky was slightly dark, which made the environment of the Mochizuki Mountain Range, which was already in the middle of the forest, feel like evening.
The sword light swept through the air, bringing up a rapid cold glow, and the long sword also made a low sound that pierced the air when it swung.
Shuttling among the more than ten demon beasts that were ushered in by him, the luxurious robe on Li Yi's body had been dyed with a layer of blood.
Looking at these demon beasts in front of him, which were either moving fast or attacking, Li Yi's eyes were as calm as water, and he couldn't see the slightest ups and downs.
The long sword in his hand is either lightly picked or stabbed straight, like an antelope hanging its horns, defusing the attacks of these demon beasts in front of him, and putting himself in safety so far while quickly fighting back.
A breeze blew, bringing a strong bloody aura to Xiang Anran and Wang Wei, who were watching the battle.
With the passage of time, it is not uncommon for the two of them to be so frustrated with Li Yi, and Xiang Anran is no longer as frightened as he was when he sees Li Yi fighting, but admires Li Yi very much in his heart, and nods frequently when he looks at Li Yi's sophistication in the process of fighting.
On the contrary, although Wang Wei did not show anything on his face, he was extremely awkward in his heart.
A week ago, perhaps because of Li Yi's performance in battle, his psychology was also a little more curious, and he entered the depths of the Moon Mountain Range while Li Yi was resting, and selected a few intermediate-level demon beasts that were not much different from his own realm, and rushed forward with confidence.
If it weren't for the decisiveness, he chose to resist one of the demon beasts and take the opportunity to leave, but he was afraid that he would have fallen in this Moon Mountain Range now.
At this point, Wang Wei no longer wants to try to fight more with less like Li Yi.
Sometimes, the more you can't do what you can't do and see others do it, you will either praise it in your heart or feel jealous.
Wang Wei is obviously the latter, in his opinion, Li Yi can do what he can't even do, which makes Wang Wei extremely angry, and even when he saw Li Yi fighting, he prayed in his heart more than once that Li Yi would die under the claws of the demon beast.
Wang Wei's situation, Li Yi has no time to understand now, at this time, Li Yi is focused on fighting and improving his strength, where is the time to entangle Wang Wei, a not very important person.
Slashing the last demon beast under the sword, Li Yi exhaled lightly, looking at the Qingmang who was healing his own injuries, the Qingmang at this time was almost as thick as a hair, which was more than a step worse than the healing ability of the Qingmang when the thumb was the thickness of the thumb in the morning.
"Even if the progress of obtaining the demon core is several times faster than before, I still can't help but have too many injuries during the battle, and the consumption rate of Qingmang is too fast. "In just half a month, the spars and demon cores that Li Yi prepared before coming to the Moon Mountain Range have been consumed, and the consumption is very unimaginable.
Then he quickly took out the demon cores in the bodies of these demon beasts in front of him, and after absorbing them with his back to Xiang Anran and Wang Wei, he got up and walked in front of the two.
"Wang Wei, you go back to the town now and help me buy some hedrons and demon cores. As he spoke, he took out the silver taels from the storage ring on the paper and handed them to Wang Wei.
Looking at the silver ticket that appeared in Li Yi's hand as if by magic, Wang Wei nodded after taking the silver ticket and turned around and walked towards the town.
After resting for a while, after leaving a secret note, Li Yi and Xiang Anran continued to look for their target in the mountains.
Since Li Yi discovered another healing ability of Qingmang, Li Yi has been persecuting himself with the ruthlessness in his heart, and in the past half a month, he has passed by death many times.
Frequently putting himself in danger to fight, which made Li Yi's actual combat experience also soar at an exaggerated speed, and now, he looks completely like a veteran who has been in battle for more than ten years, rather than a rookie who has only been in contact with combat for less than a month.
There is a way that the more dangerous it is, the more it can force people's potential, and they are fighting to the death every day, and when Qingmang appeared in the middle of the night, Li Yi found that the speed of cultivation was much faster.
Until now, his already strength has already entered the eighth layer of the Quenching Body Realm, and he is only one step away from reaching the peak of the Quenching Body Realm.
With this kind of cultivation speed, anyone who wants to come will be shocked until the end of the year, and their jaws will fall to the ground.
However, since breaking through to the eighth layer of the Quenching Body Realm, Li Yi could clearly feel that the progress of his cultivation had slowed down, and he wanted to enter the ninth layer of the Quenching Body Realm, but he didn't know how long it would take.
Now there is only one month left before the battle for the prince, and after deducting the time to return to Chang'an from the Mochizuki Mountain Range, there is not much time left for Li Yi.
Now, what Li Yi needs to do is to rush into the ninth layer of the Quenching Body Realm, or even the Refining Essence Realm, within this period of time.
"Time, it's as tight as ever!" Shaking his head, Li Yi sighed, but quickly regained his spirits, and entered the battle again after finding the target.
Wang Wei's speed was still very fast, but in half an hour, he found Li Yi and Xiang Anran with the purchased spar and demon core.
After putting all the things into the storage ring, Xiang Anran and Wang Wei couldn't see that Li Yi, who was at the forefront, was quickly absorbing the spar and demon core they had just purchased.
As these spars and demon cores were quickly absorbed, in less than a quarter of an hour, all the purchased spars and demon cores this time turned into twisted powder because all the spiritual power was absorbed.
This time, the purchase of spars and demon cores cost almost 300,000 yuan, and the silver taels spent by an ordinary family of three in a year are only 1,000 taels, which is equivalent to saying that Li Yi spent 300 years for an ordinary family of three in a quarter of an hour.
This kind of consumption rate is very likely that most of the princes now can't bear it.
If it weren't for Li Yi's early years of making a lot of money with fine wine and fragrant tea, he would not be able to support this kind of consumption.
Quickly slashed the demon beasts that had been lonely, Li Yi squatted down, and prepared to take out the demon cores in the bodies of these demon beasts as usual.
However, before Li Yi could break open the belly of the demon beast, a few leaves suddenly fell from the sky above and landed in front of Li Yi's eyes.
Looking at these green leaves, Li Yi was shocked, and without the slightest hesitation, he directly withdrew and retreated, away from the position he was standing just now.
"Childe, what's wrong?" Seeing Li Yi's appearance as if he was facing a great enemy at this time, Xiang Anran couldn't help but ask suspiciously.
"Someone" Li Yi raised his head, his eyes quickly scanning between the branches above, but he said in a low voice.
You know, it's summer, and there are lush trees all around, so how can the green leaves fall down for no reason? And it's just a few.
This is the Mochizuki Mountain Range, and ordinary birds don't appear here, but if it's a demon beast, it will definitely attack the first time when it finds three people.
Therefore, the only explanation is that someone has just hid in the foliage forest above.
"What?" Hearing Li Yi say this, Xiang Anran and Wang Wei both drew their weapons for the first time to be on alert.
Looking at the reaction of Li Yi and the others, a sigh came from the sky, and then four figures fell from above, making a few muffled sounds, standing opposite Li Yi and the others.
"I didn't expect you to be so alert, but I was a little surprised. The man who spoke had an extremely long hideous scar on his face, spreading from the corner of his eye to his mouth, and just by seeing this hideous scar, one could imagine that this man had been attacked by a synthetic danger.
"Boom"
As the scar man's words fell, in the grass not far behind him, the five people quickly stepped forward and surrounded Li Yi and the three of them.
"What do you want to do?" Looking at these people with obviously bad intentions, Xiang Anran stepped forward and asked in a cold voice in front of Li Yi.
The scar man chuckled and said, "What are you doing, it's naturally a robbery!" Your Excellency's son-in-law has bought such a large number of crystals and demon cores twice in the town in a short period of time, and this is the first time I have seen Fu Xiaonan with such strong financial resources in my life, so I can't help but think a little, now it seems that your son-in-law's storage ring alone is enough to make Fu Mou's heart move. ”
Then the words paused for a moment before continuing: "Therefore, I hope that Your Excellency and his son-in-law will be able to be sensible and hand over all the belongings in your hands, and I promise not to move a single hair." I wonder what you think?"
"Hmph, do you know our identity? My son-in-law is the son of the lord of the Tang Dynasty, the king of the Tang Dynasty, do you want to fall to the ground if you do this?" However, before Xiang Anran could reply, Wang Wei on the side took a step forward, raised his long knife and pointed at Fu Xiaonan on the opposite side and said coldly.
As soon as these words came out, Li Yi sighed in his heart, it seems that he can't be good next.
"Childe, that scarred man is very strong, and he may have reached the peak of the Refining Essence Realm, and the rest are around the Quenching Realm. It seemed that he also thought of being with Li Yi, and when Wang Wei said the idiotic words, Xiang Anran moved closer to Li Yi and said in a low voice.
"Are you sure?" asked Li Yi.
Xiang Anran thought for a moment, "I am in the late stage of the Refining Realm, and Wang Wei has also reached the middle stage of the Refining Realm, if the two of us join forces, we should be able to fight with the scar man, but the others"
Li Yi nodded lightly, "You and Wang Wei only need to take care of the scarred man, and leave the rest to me." ”
Xiang Anran was silent for a moment when he heard this, and then nodded in agreement, these days, Xiang Anran clearly understands Li Yi's strength, if the other party is just quenching the body, it should not be a big problem for Li Yi, who is used to facing those eight people with less to more.
Sure enough, hearing what Wang Wei said, Fu Xiaonan on the other side first frowned, then sighed, hugged his fists and said: "I didn't expect your son to be the king of the Tang Dynasty, if you are allowed to leave, we will definitely be worried every day in the future, and we will be afraid every day when the prince will trouble us." In that case, for the sake of our future safety, please stay!"
Wang Wei's face changed when he heard this, but he didn't expect that he would break out of the house, not only did not make the other party jealous, but instead aroused the other party's killing intent, which Wang Wei didn't expect at all.
But before Wang Wei could continue to speak, he saw that Fu Xiaonan, who was still standing a few meters away, had already pulled out the weapon in the scabbard and rushed towards him quickly
