The Ferry of Salvation

Chapter 1564 Advancing Instead of Retreating

Thus, the three began their clearing journey.

Half an hour later, in the middle of a small plain, after eliminating a pack of异兽狼群, Liu Tianzhi was the first to buckle, asking for a brief rest.

"Let's recover some internal energy first."

The consumption of martial arts was also not small. He immediately sat on the ground, took out a bottle of pills from his backpack, and poured them into his mouth.

"I can still hold on for a while longer, I'll go scout the surroundings."

Li Chonglou took the initiative to speak. In such a situation, it was naturally impossible for the three to rest together; at least one had to remain vigilant nearby.

Wu Di and the other two knew that Li Chonglou's strength had always been hidden, so they were not surprised by this.

Seeing that the two had quickly entered a state of meditation, Li Chonglou looked around the surroundings and finally chose to walk forward towards their destination.

A minute later, Li Chonglou had already reached a distance of several hundred meters from the two.

"Come out."

Li Chonglou suddenly stopped and spoke calmly to the air.

However, apart from the occasional gust of wind, there seemed to be nothing else around.

But Li Chonglou remained still, his gaze fixed on a certain spot.

After another moment, a strange voice suddenly sounded.

"As expected of someone with the power of the Heavenly Dao, boy, how did you discover me?"

A figure appeared out of thin air.

He appeared to be in his thirties, with a fair complexion, but his face always carried an unhealthy paleness, looking as if he had just recovered from a serious illness.

As he spoke, he also licked his lips with his tongue.

"Who are you?"

Li Chonglou frowned slightly. This guy was actually at the peak of the seventh level, and the aura that occasionally emanated from him made people instinctively feel uncomfortable.

But it didn't seem to be directed at him. This was the first time Li Chonglou had encountered such a strange person.

The man did not answer but asked the exact same question that Shan Gui had asked earlier.

"Boy, how about I give you a chance to be my subordinate?"

"Why don't you be my subordinate? When I connect with someone of peak power, I'll take you along."

Li Chonglou smiled slightly, while the other's face suddenly changed drastically.

"Boy, are you looking for death?"

The aura of the seventh level peak surged, and Li Chonglou's figure flashed simultaneously.

Shadow Step!

"It seems you refuse a toast only to be forced to drink a forfeit. Do you really think you can be arrogant just because you have a touch of the Heavenly Dao's power?"

The man, with a sinister expression, also disappeared from his original spot. Almost at the same time, the two meditating not far away were startled awake. Disregarding everything else, they immediately released their realm power.

Damn it, an enemy at the seventh level has already arrived?

After they reacted, their first thought was not to fight, but to shout loudly.

"Enemy attack!"

The sound, amplified countless times by the internal energy, instantly spread across the entire plain.

The faces of Fan Li and Wu Yin on both sides changed, and they quickly used their movement techniques to rush back.

Meanwhile, Li Chonglou had already been intercepted by the opponent.

After all, he was still at the seventh level. His Shadow Step, executed with peak sixth-level strength, could not shake off the opponent.

A cold light shot directly towards his arm. Li Chonglou gritted his teeth and silently chanted, Xiang Du!

The next second, the man's expression suddenly changed. He felt his body suddenly freeze, and even his thoughts became sluggish.

Li Chonglou did not retreat but advanced, dodging the cold light with Shadow Step and appearing directly behind the man.

He drew his sword and swung.

The long sword, cultivated from a treasure in the underground world, carried an arrogant sharpness and slashed directly at the man's head.

Fast and ruthless!

The effect of Xiang Du would even freeze a master at the seventh level for two seconds, which was enough time!

Just as the man was about to be decapitated, a red light suddenly appeared on his body. Before Li Chonglou could react, he was repelled by a fierce shockwave.

"It's a protective treasure!"

Old An said solemnly. Li Chonglou couldn't be bothered with what new trick this was. Gritting his teeth, he stabilized his body and charged forward again.

There was still one second left!

But the shockwave had already injured his internal organs, and the man had also regained consciousness.

"How dare you!"

"What can't I dare?"

A fierce glint flashed in his eyes, and he raised his long sword high again.

Kill!

"Boy, stop!"

Shan Gui's anxious voice suddenly rang out, but Li Chonglou ignored it.

Although he could not use his Heavenly Eye's clairvoyance in the underground world, his perception abilities had increased several times since his soul damage recovered to the peak of the sixth level.

After all, he was a master at the peak of the seventh level. Although he could not exert his full strength due to soul damage, his foundation was still different from an ordinary peak sixth-level cultivator.

This Shan Gui, he had discovered his aura long ago!

The long sword passed through the man's neck without any obstruction. A seventh-level peak master was thus decapitated.

Gushing blood continuously sprayed into the air, and a large head rolled to the ground with a thud.

Li Chonglou stood there holding his long sword with a cold expression.

A hundred meters behind him were Wu Di and the other two, looking dumbfounded, and Shan Gui, along with several strange men who suddenly appeared around Li Chonglou.

Li Chonglou ignored the three men who looked shocked and stared at Shan Gui, saying coldly, "Do you want to try too?"

Gulp.

It had to be said that Shan Gui, who believed he had seen countless grand scenes, was momentarily speechless.

Is this kid that terrifying?

He could instantly kill a peak seventh-level master?

Didn't they say this kid was only at the peak of the fifth level?

Seeing that he remained silent, Li Chonglou suddenly walked towards him with his long sword.

Shan Gui shuddered and quickly said, "Boy, do you really think I wouldn't dare to attack you?"

This was a seemingly threatening statement, but in reality, it was showing weakness.

Otherwise, with Shan Gui's previous attitude, he should have attacked directly at this moment.

But Li Chonglou ignored him and said calmly, "I think there should be regulations from the General Bureau, right? Now either you kill all of us, or I kill all of you."

"Choose one of the two, it's very simple, isn't it."

Very simple, my ass!

Hearing this, Wu Di and the other two felt their hearts sink.

Whichever of the two choices Li Chonglou mentioned, they would die!

Isn't this a joke?

However, Shan Gui knew that Li Chonglou was not joking.

Although he didn't know how this kid in front of him could instantly kill a peak seventh-level master! He understood that what he said was the truth.

In summary, they really had such strict requirements.

Like the man who was just killed, because his mission scope was different, if Li Chonglou killed him, he might even receive a reward from above without any punishment.

The same applied to the men beside him now.

But conversely, if he made a move, the meaning would be different. After all, the two were considered teammates. Once they attacked each other, if this matter was reported back to the General Bureau,

What awaited them would be a merciless pursuit order!
