Boom!
As soon as Han Li launched his attack, both Jiang Baiye’s sword and Yun Miaoyi’s blade followed suit, leaving no extra opportunity for Han Li.
While engaged in battle, the spiritual senses of the two women were constantly on alert, covering a vast area. Even if Han Li’s spiritual sense interfered, they swiftly recovered.
The clash was evenly matched.
Han Li deliberately restrained his strength, not going all out, hoping to lull Jiang Baiye and Yun Miaoyi into a false sense of security and thereby gain an advantage.
An intense fight broke out, with three figures crisscrossing through the air, the engagement was fierce.
Jiang Baiye exerted herself to the fullest to wield the Ice Crystal Sword, while Yun Miaoyi also used her Spring Rain with all her might, launching continuous attacks around Han Li, almost as if the sword and the knife were moving in unison. However, all of them were blocked by Han Li’s protective Gang Yuan, unable to break through his defense.
On the other hand, Han Li showed no inclination to defend, using the Xuantian Punch in his left hand and the God Slaying Sword in his right, while stepping with the Step Booster Technique and moving unpredictably according to the Big Dipper formation.
One moment he was behind Jiang Baiye, the next above Yun Miaoyi, or even below Jiang Baiye. With each step, he remained composed, yet his attacks were fierce and ruthless.
It seemed as though Jiang Baiye and Yun Miaoyi were two against one, but in reality, they could only parry as if being besieged by Han Li alone from the heavens, the earth, and all directions.
“Jiang Baiye, do we keep fighting?”
While fighting, Yun Miaoyi sent a telepathic message to Jiang Baiye, already harboring thoughts of retreat.
At this point, it was clear they could not win the Body-Cultivating Furnace;
Han Li’s strength was too great. Even together, they were no match for him.
If they could not win the Body-Cultivating Furnace, Yun Miaoyi did not want to keep dragging out the conflict. Even if Han Li couldn’t defeat them in a short time, remaining here posed too great a risk.
The fight between the three God Refining Realm cultivators was earth-shattering, causing the mountains near Myriad Sky Mountain to shrink by a fraction, destroyed by the aftershocks of battle.
Such commotion would surely draw the attention of the Da Qian Empire. If a Guru in the Void Realm from the official ranks of Leizhou were to arrive, she could very well lose her life.
If it were anyone else, Yun Miaoyi would not have hesitated for a moment and would have run away immediately, but she was teamed up with Jiang Baiye.
If she fled by herself, Jiang Baiye would quickly be captured or slain by Han Li, a result Yun Miaoyi did not want to see.
Boom!
Jiang Baiye unleashed a sword strike, blocking another of Han Li’s attacks, but hesitated upon hearing Yun Miaoyi’s telepathic message.
The significance of the Body-Cultivating Furnace was beyond question, and it was also related to the chance of entering the Secret Territory. If she could enter the Secret Territory, her chances of becoming a Great Grandmaster in the Myriad Phenomena Realm would significantly increase.
But was there any chance now to take back the Body-Cultivating Furnace?
Using the Ice Crystal Sword, she performed the Heavenly Sword Technique, while Yun Miaoyi used Spring Rain to execute Breaking Red Dust. These were their strongest attacks, meant for fighting together, yet they were being driven into a difficult situation.
Both of them, being women of peerless grace, also cultivated powerful earthly step techniques and movement techniques, but they were only at an early stage of proficiency, and paled in comparison to Han Li’s Step Booster Technique, which he controlled rhythmically.
Not only was Han Li’s cultivation level higher than theirs, but he had also cultivated an exceedingly formidable protective cultivation technique. The protective Gang Yuan formed by that technique effortlessly blocked their attacks.
Whether it was the Ice Crystal Sword, Spring Rain, or the Sword Intent and blade techniques they displayed, none could get close to Han Li’s body and were instead stopped by an invisible protective Gang Yuan three feet away.
Unable to touch or land a hit, Jiang Baiye felt extremely helpless.
“Retreat.”
Soon, Jiang Baiye made her decision.
Since the Body-Cultivating Furnace was in Han Li’s possession, and since she could not take it back, then her master would have to retrieve it. If the
Tianxuan Mountain Sect Leader dared to interfere, then the Canghai Sect Leader would take action.
The two women quickly consulted in secret and decided to launch a fierce counterattack before seizing the opportunity to escape.
Han Li’s movement technique had an advantage in short-distance shifting, whereas their cultivated movement techniques and step techniques were better suited for travel, running away. As long as they found the opportunity to escape, Han Li surely couldn’t catch up.
Boom! Boom! Boom!
Leizhou’s silhouette flashed with unpredictable movements, weaving between the two women, executing the Xuantian Punch, the God Slaying Sword Technique, and even the Yin and Yang Palm Seal.
The intense onslaught left Jiang Baiye and Yun Miaoyi secretly groaning in pain, unable to find an opening to escape, forced only to tirelessly defend and counter.
When Yun Miaoyi realized that Leizhou could use the Yin and Yang Palm Seal, she instantly knew he was the murderer of Cui Pingyu. However, she didn’t make threats about the Yinyang Sect hunting him down.
She understood that such threats were useless; Leizhou’s use of the sect’s technique meant he was determined to keep her and Jiang Baiye there.
“There’s no chance.”
At that moment, Jiang Baiye’s cold voice reached her mind, tinged with hints of urgency.
Yun Miaoyi bit her silver teeth and sent a telepathic message, “Then we’ll have to create an opportunity.”
Leizhou was so slippery that they couldn’t attack him proactively, only able to retaliate when he appeared to attack them.
But their counterattacks were weak, utterly failing to break through Leizhou’s protective Yuan, not to mention inflictinz anv iniurv on him.
On the contrary, both of their dresses were now torn to pieces, exposing large swaths of their fair skin, drawing the eye irresistibly.
Seizing the moment when Yun Miaoyi was distracted, Leizhou appeared behind Jiang Baiye, thrusting his sword imbued with the Sword Intent capable of burying all in its path, a majestic sword aura cascading forward like rivers flowing into the sea.
Jiang Baiye swung her sword, the Ice Crystal Sword slashing in a profound trajectory, carrying a hint of heavenly mandate, clashing against Leizhou’s attack.
As they collided, Leizhou vanished, only to reappear behind Yun Miaoyi in an instant, launching another God Slaying strike.
Yun Miaoyi pointed a finger, and a massive surge of Gang Yuan burst forth like a torrent, freezing and then shattering swathes of the surrounding air.
Leizhou disappeared again and the next instant appeared above Yun Miaoyi, a wave of spiritual sense assaulting her, as both of his hands formed fist seals, ruthlessly battering down on her.
Previously, he had intentionally attacked Jiang Baiye once and then Yun Miaoyi once, never alternating, to lull the two women into a false sense of security.
When Leizhou appeared, Yun Miaoyi actually smiled, her smile blooming like a flower, exuding charm, as if she had long predicted Leizhou would do so.
Boom!
Her long-cultivated secret technique erupted in a flash, significantly boosting her aura by a large margin, ascending to the mid-stage of the God Refining Realm, nearing the late stage.
With her strength greatly increased, Leizhou’s spiritual sense had little effect on her. The Devil Sword Spring Rain flew from her hands, unleashing the mightiest move of the Breaking Red Dust Technique.
Even if it couldn’t break Leizhou’s protective Gang Yuan and seriously harm him, it could still send him flying, buying them time to escape.
In the instant of their clash, Jiang Baiye also made her move, brandishing the
Ice Crystal Sword and executing the strongest move of the Heavenly Sword Technique, piercing the air with an irresistible heavenly command that locked onto Leizhou.
Faced with the most powerful strikes from the two women, Leizhou too revealed a hint of a smile and voluntarily activated the Indestructible
Body-Protection Divine Skill.
In an instant, his body radiated golden light, transforming into a little golden figure, entering the half an hour state of the Indestructible Body.
Yun Miaoyi’s mightiest blade shattered his two fist seals and continued barreling towards Leizhou, with Jiang Baiye’s mightiest sword strike arriving almost simultaneously.
Boom! Boom!
The blade and sword struck his protective Gang Yuan, and instead of breaking through, the force was equally reflected back upon Jiang Baiye and Yun Miaoyi.
In a flash, both women trembled, uncontrollably flying backward with blood seeping from the corners of their mouths, their eyes flashing with shock.
At that moment, Leizhou’s figure appeared above Jiang Baiye and he unleashed a mountain-tumbling, sea-shifting strike. The next instant, he appeared above Yun Miaoyi with the same technique, both attacks occurring nearly simultaneously.
Without surprise, both women spat out blood again, their bodies heavily crashing against the mountainside, their vitality rapidly declining as they
sustained serious injuries..
