Chapter 1278: A Narrow Escape from Death

At the moment the Blood Demon appeared, Wang Zhan instantly felt a sense of crisis.

The Blood Demon before him was definitely not easy to deal with; it seemed like the following would be a desperate battle.

Meanwhile, the gazes of everyone nearby were all focused on the Blood Demon. Li Yuan Yi, however, leaped into the air with a fierce look. At this moment, he appeared extremely frightening, covered in bloodstains, and surrounded by strands of blood-red fog hovering around him.

It made him look even more fearsome.

But despite this state, Li Yuan Yi still coldly looked at Wang Zhan and the others, gritting his teeth as he spoke, “A bunch of bastards! You’ve forced me to this dead end. Now I don’t need to hold back any longer. Since you all want me dead, then I’ll take you to the grave with me first!”

Li Yuan Yi had long planned for this. Though he used all the power within the Soul-suppressing Plaque, even if he lost this body, it was no more than an afterimage, not posing any significant threat to him. He can rise again in the future.

As long as he knew the remnant soul shattered, he could instantly return outside. Although that would injure him, the situation for Wang Zhan’s people would certainly be much worse, possibly even costing them their lives.

He no longer desired to obtain the miracle fruit. Though acquiring the miracle fruit was one of the things he wanted to do, more importantly, he wanted to kill Wang Zhan. Now between him and Wang Zhan, there was only full hatred.

The urgent task was to kill Wang Zhan first.

In a blink of an eye, a sudden explosive sound came from mid-air, and then Li Yuan Yi immediately exploded.

The Blood Demon that emerged from the Soul-suppressing Plaque also became completely out of control, swiftly charging towards Wang Zhan and others, emanating boundless power with every move.

That power was enough to destroy heaven and earth.

Even Wang Zhan and his people were somewhat shocked.

After all, none of them expected the Blood Demon in front of them to be this troublesome.

But since Li Yuan Yi had already sacrificed his body to summon the Blood Demon, they had no choice but to confront the Blood Demon, no matter what situation they might encounter.

The Blood Demon must be dealt with to completely resolve this crisis.

Wang Zhan and his people understood the gravity of the situation, so without any hesitation, they quickly engaged with the Blood Demon.

In the sky, roaring sounds echoed continuously.

While they were engaging, Li Yuan Yi had already left the Sky Pavilion.

Outside the Sky Pavilion, Li Yuan Yi’s body spat out blood, and at this time, Li Yuan Yi slowly opened his eyes, clearly having escaped from the Sky Pavilion.

But his physical state was extremely poor now, as if he had just suffered a bitter battle and was seriously injured.

He couldn’t even open his eyes.

He clutched his chest for a while, and his gaze fell on Qin Feng beside him. At this moment, Qin Feng was staring at Li Yuan Yi. When he noticed Li Yuan Yi looking at him, Qin Feng quickly shifted his gaze and hurriedly said, “How’s the situation? Have you found a way to enter the Sky Pavilion?”

Li Yuan Yi glared at Qin Feng for a good while before gritting his teeth and saying, “You damned bastard, obviously the formation was already known by Wang Zhan, and yet you let me infiltrate the Sky Pavilion? If not for some of the trump cards I have, I’d already be dead!”

“Fortunately, I caused some damage inside; I’m sure Wang Zhan and his people are already overwhelmed.”

Even though he spoke like this, Li Yuan Yi remained motionless.

Qin Feng, on the other side, kept staring at Li Yuan Yi for a long time without speaking, not knowing what was on his mind.

Of course, although Qin Feng hadn’t been in touch with Li Yuan Yi for long, he understood a bit about him. Li Yuan Yi was absolutely not a simple person and had a terribly bad temper, which matched the characteristics of those experts on the Star War Battlefield.

That is, not believing anyone around, feeling that everything posed a crisis.

This made Qin Feng feel quite exhausted from interacting, constantly having to accommodate Li Yuan Yi daily, worried he might suddenly attack him…

But this time was very different.

Besides, Li Yuan Yi’s face was exceptionally unsightly, clearly severely injured.

Thinking of these, Qin Feng’s eyes shifted a bit, and a slight smile appeared on his lips.

“Why are you laughing, you bastard?”

“Seeing me like this, does it make you happy?”

Li Yuan Yi roared twice again and immediately followed with two questions.

And Qin Feng quickly shook his head, then hurriedly explained: “No, no, we can be considered allies for now, and if you’re injured, it benefits me not at all, so how could I want such a situation to arise? I’m just worried about you, which is why I have this expression…”

Ha!

Li Yuan Yi’s lips curled into a cold smile; it was obvious he was talking nonsense.

If he truly cared about him, how could he possibly have this expression now?

There must be something fishy going on.

But Li Yuan Yi was clever. Although Qin Feng hadn’t explained everything to him, he had a basic understanding of Qin Feng.

After rolling his eyes around, he spoke calmly, “Let me advise you to dispel those crooked thoughts from your mind. I’m in a bad mood right now, and having encountered so much inside the Sky Pavilion, if you dare to have any sinister thoughts at this moment, I would certainly kill you even if it costs me my life!”

Li Yuan Yi spoke coldly, looking indifferently at Qin Feng.

It was obvious to anyone that Qin Feng wasn’t an ordinary person.

And Li Yuan Yi knew full well there was no friendship between him and Qin Feng. He even somewhat envied Wang Zhan, as those people always stayed by Wang Zhan’s side in critical moments, never retreating a step.

Although he didn’t know what kind of charm Wang Zhan had, compared to him, he felt rather pathetic.

And Qin Feng quickly said, “Look at the state you’re in now, not even half of your full strength. If you were in full strength, I might fear you three parts, but now you pose no threat to me, so there’s no need for tough words; they don’t scare me.”

Li Yuan Yi’s teeth were nearly ground to pieces. It seemed this bastard truly intended to do something against him.

In fact, when Li Yuan Yi’s afterimage returned to this body, he had already sensed that something was wrong.

Qin Feng had told him before that even if the afterimage was damaged, it would affect his strength, but he would recover quickly, and the impact wouldn’t be much.

But now, it was clear that everything was contrary to what Qin Feng had said.

He felt like he had failed the Heavenly Tribulation, and couldn’t muster much energy.

And even if he intended to use a killing move, he didn’t have the strength, which meant if he truly wanted to fight Qin Feng to the death, the end result would be mutual destruction.

Even he couldn’t hold on for long.

After hesitating for a moment, Li Yuan Yi finally spoke calmly: “I know you want revenge against Wang Zhan, but so do I. Now Wang Zhan and his people have been controlled by the Blood Demon I summoned, and it won’t be long before they are fighting intensely with it, at which point they will disturb the foundation of the formation. Just give me a bit more time to recover to my peak state, and then I can cooperate with the Blood Demon to break this wicked formation, and you can fulfill your long-cherished wish.”

Li Yuan Yi directly explained the pros and cons.

He needed to find a way to restore his strength, not only to continue controlling Qin Feng but also out of concern that Wang Zhan and his group might quickly defeat the Blood Demon and then break the formation to face him.

But in his current state, he stood no chance against the Soul-suppressing Plaque and the Hexagonal Golden Snake, even risking his life wouldn’t yield ideal results.

The Blood Demon was incapable of shaking the foundation of the formation; if it were that simple, he would have done so long ago.

He said this merely to stall.

He needed to stabilize Qin Feng in front of him to prevent him from doing anything outrageous.

Qin Feng circled Li Yuan Yi a few times, completely ignoring his words, and then shook his head, saying: “Mr. Li, if you had said this earlier, perhaps I might have believed you, but…”

“Look at you now, there’s no chance of you continuing to bluster in front of me, nor pose any threat, so why would I fear you?”

“To be honest, I do want revenge against Wang Zhan, but we all know the Star War Battlefield’s location; even if I get revenge, so what? There are so many experts there, that my name will be forgotten by them soon enough, and the result is the same in the end…”

“It’s better to find ways to improve my own strength; that is the true path, am I wrong?”

As expected, everything was just as he suspected.

This guy indeed wanted to scheme against him.

Li Yuan Yi suppressed his anger, then spoke again: “So? What are you planning to do?”
