Novel Full Chapter 472: Terrifying places!
Li Yun gave a cold smile.
It had to be said that Crown Prince Xing Tian’s scheme had been arranged quite beautifully.
First, he used the Starheaven Hunt Order to show his determination to kill Li Yun. Then, he used generous rewards to tempt many Outer Sect Disciples into becoming Li Yun’s enemies. Now, he had used the Spectral Blood Eye to expose Li Yun’s movements to everyone.
Each step was connected to the next, and together, they directly pushed Li Yun into a situation where enemies surrounded him from every side. If an ordinary person had been placed in his position, they would probably have been frightened out of their senses by now.
Even Li Yun found the situation somewhat troublesome.
However, because of that, his killing intent toward Crown Prince Xing Tian only grew stronger.
Last time, Crown Prince Xing Tian had managed to escape because of the teleportation scroll. Li Yun had not expected that, even after barely surviving once, the crown prince would still refuse to give up and would instead set up such a lethal trap against him.
Since that was the case, if Li Yun did not repay him properly, would that not be unworthy of the other party’s efforts?
With a cold snort, Li Yun restrained his aura and left the valley.
As he moved, the eerie blood-colored pupil in the sky also shifted slowly along with him. Its cold gaze remained fixed on Li Yun, lingering above him like a ghost that could not be shaken off.
However, Li Yun did not care too much.
The Spectral Blood Eye could indeed track his location and expose his movements to everyone, but in truth, this secret art was not as terrifying as it appeared.
Although it could reveal his traces, it could only lock onto him within a certain range, which was roughly ten miles.
This range was not small, but it was still enough to leave Li Yun room to respond calmly.
Swish! Swish! Swish!
Li Yun activated the Heavenly Lightning Codex, and lightning wings unfolded behind his back. His figure immediately turned into a streak of lightning, and in the blink of an eye, he had already left the valley several miles behind.
Even though he had only traveled a few miles, Li Yun witnessed all kinds of terrifying dangers on Chaos Wind Island along the way, and his caution deepened with every step.
At one point, he saw a giant tiger that was thirty meters tall. Its aura was extremely powerful and far surpassed that of an ordinary 9th level Mortal Core Realm expert.
The giant tiger had just pounced upon its prey and killed it. Just as it lowered its head to enjoy the meal, a fist-sized crimson trumpet flower suddenly bloomed beside it.
Then, that tiny flower swallowed the massive tiger in one bite.
A fist-sized flower had swallowed a thirty-meter-tall tiger with terrifying ease.
Such a scene was simply unbelievable. If Li Yun had not seen it with his own eyes, he would never have believed such a thing could happen.
Another time, Li Yun saw a giant serpent that stretched several hundred meters when fully extended. The aura released by the serpent was countless times more terrifying than the thirty-meter tiger. Even an expert at the 9th level of the Mortal Core Realm would likely be killed with ease before such a monster.
Yet that powerful and ferocious serpent accidentally entered a nest of golden ants.
In only a few breaths, the terrifying serpent was gnawed clean by the densely packed ants, leaving not even its bones behind.
Chaos Wind Island was truly too terrifying.
Danger existed everywhere, and the slightest oversight could lead to a miserable death. In this place, even experts at the 9th level of the Mortal Core Realm had no right to act arrogantly.
After that, Li Yun had no choice but to slow down.
Moving at full speed in such a place was no different from courting death.
Snap!
Suddenly, a vine as thick as an arm silently attacked from beside Li Yun.
Only when it was less than a meter away from him did it let out a sharp explosive sound, as though it intended to coil around him and crush him directly.
This vine was far more terrifying than the branches in the valley. Its attack power had already reached the 8th level of the Mortal Core Realm and was even close to the 9th level.
"Not good."
Li Yun’s expression changed as a bad premonition rose in his heart.
He immediately used Hundred Layers Shield while retreating rapidly.
However, before he could even breathe a sigh of relief, his expression changed again.
Not far from him, several delicate morning glory flowers had bloomed. They swayed gently in the wind, appearing soft and beautiful at first glance.
However, Li Yun had personally witnessed a crimson trumpet flower devour a giant tiger, so he naturally would not be deceived by their appearance.
Without the slightest hesitation, he activated the Heavenly Lightning Codex again. With the help of his lightning wings, he instantly widened the distance between himself and the morning glories.
Sure enough, just as Li Yun moved several dozen meters away, those morning glories suddenly opened wide.
A terrifying suction force erupted from them and almost pulled Li Yun back by force.
Before one wave had settled, another rose.
Near the morning glories, a squirrel crawled out from somewhere. It looked at Li Yun from a distance, bared its teeth in a grin, and suddenly pulled out a pinecone from who knew where before throwing it at him.
Bang!
The moment the pinecone flew out, it was like a powerful explosive.
Its speed was terrifyingly fast, and it slammed directly into Li Yun’s body.
Puff!
Li Yun felt as though his abdomen had been struck by lightning.
If not for his incredibly strong body, he felt that the pinecone might have pierced straight through him.
"Damn. Even a squirrel is this dangerous here."
With a bitter smile, Li Yun did not dare to remain in place. He moved forward for several hundred meters and only stopped when he reached an open space. Only then did he finally let out a soft breath.
"Hahahaha, so this is the so-called Li Yun who cleared the ninth floor of the Heaven-Ascending Pagoda while only at the 7th level of the Essence Qi Realm?"
At that moment, a burst of laughter suddenly rang out.
Several young men wearing brocade robes and arrogant expressions appeared in front of Li Yun.
The leader glanced at Li Yun with disdain and said indifferently, "A single vine, a few broken flowers, and a squirrel forced you into this state. The 7th level of the Essence Qi Realm is still only the 7th level of the Essence Qi Realm. You are truly weak beyond measure. I really doubt how someone with your little ability managed to clear the ninth floor of the Heaven-Ascending Pagoda."
"I think something must have gone wrong with the Heaven-Ascending Pagoda at that time, allowing this kid to get lucky."
"Exactly. This kid does not have much strength, but his luck seems decent. Still, that works for us. We can kill him easily and take Crown Prince Xing Tian’s bounty. Hmph, who would have thought our luck would turn so quickly and give us such an easy bargain?"
As soon as these words were spoken, the people behind the leader all burst into laughter.
Among them, a woman in revealing and seductive clothing looked toward the grinning squirrel in the distance. Desire immediately appeared in her eyes.
"What a cute squirrel. I really want to catch it and keep it as a pet."
"What is so difficult about that?"
Beside the woman, a tall young man suddenly laughed loudly. "It is only a mere squirrel. Junior Sister, just wait and watch. I will catch that little thing for you with ease."
After saying this, he laughed loudly and charged straight toward the squirrel with heavy, rumbling footsteps. His aura was completely unrestrained, and he clearly did not take the little creature seriously.
Seeing this scene, Li Yun’s expression suddenly became strange.
