Chapter 148: Forced into a Dead End
Even Sun Lou was extremely shocked. What on earth had just happened?
He saw a man attacking Zheng Yuan and thought he had an opportunity, but a sudden flying sword killed him instantly.
He didn't even notice who had done it, not even a breath of air.
Could it be the man in black over there? Sun Lou unconsciously shifted his gaze to Chen Li, looking very serious.
When he shifted his gaze, Zheng Yuan had already rushed over and slashed his neck with the dagger in his hand.
"I am still indecisive at this time, Elder Sun. You underestimate me a little bit." Zheng Yuan said to Sun Lou with a smile on his face.
Sun Lou frowned, as he originally wanted to see who the man in black was, but Zheng Yuan really seized the opportunity and rushed over in an instant.
In fact, Zheng Yuan knew that it was definitely Chen Li who had taken action just now, but he also knew very well that Chen Li would not participate in this battle and could only help him clean up the people around him.
If I can't kill Sun Lou, it would be a huge shame.
By then, even if you want to ask for more, you probably won’t have the confidence.
He took out a pill from his space ring and swallowed it. The spiritual energy he had consumed before was recovering rapidly.
"Fuling Pill, you actually have this good thing!" Sun Lou shouted in surprise.
The Soul-Restoring Pill is a fourth-grade elixir that can quickly restore the lost spiritual energy of a Jindan-stage cultivator.
If this kind of thing were given to him, would he still need to use secret methods to forcibly increase his spiritual energy?
This secret method has a time limit. If he still can't get rid of Zheng Yuan by the time the time comes, he will become a fish at the mercy of others.
Zheng Yuan grinned and stared at Sun Lou in front of him: "It's just a mere Rejuvenating Pill, doesn't Elder Sun have it?"
As he spoke, the dagger in his hand drew a shadow, leaving a deep scar on his arm.
Originally Sun Lou was planning to be on guard, but before he could realize it, the guy had disappeared.
Chen Li, who was standing by, saw this and didn't expect Zheng Yuan to have such ability.
Although Sun Lou's spiritual energy was weak, he still managed to increase it through secret methods.
Despite this, Zheng Yuan was able to rely on his own strength to fight back and forth with Sun Lou, and even left scars on his hands.
"It seems that I underestimated him after all." Chen Li murmured to himself, feeling a little worried.
If a righteous sect were to show up in the Red Blood Sect in the future, Zheng Yuan would definitely be the most terrifying one.
I'm afraid that the number of people who died is definitely not small. Of course he doesn't care about those people, but if someone he knows died in his hands , that would be a problem.
Let Zheng Yuan die in the demon world? This thought quickly emerged in Chen Li's mind.
However, this idea was soon wiped out. He now still needed the help of Zheng Yuan to improve his status in the Red Blood Sect.
If Zheng Yuan died here, it would be difficult for him to act in the Red Blood Sect, and he would only feel more uncomfortable cooperating with others.
It was not right to kill or not to kill, which made his mind very confused.
Just when he was feeling unhappy, a dangerous aura made Chen Li's face suddenly change.
The moment he came to his senses, he found that Sun Lou appeared in front of him.
"Boy, although I don't know who you are, but you are with Zheng Yuan, so don't blame me for being ruthless!" Sun Lou stared at Chen Li and scolded.
There was a vast amount of spiritual energy in his hands, which he struck at the top of Chen Li's head.
Chen Li frowned. This guy had a really good idea. He actually dared to attack him.
Boom! A powerful pressure spread from Chen Li's body. Sun Lou, who was originally planning to attack, found that the spiritual energy in his hand was dissipated in an instant.
Sun Lou widened his eyes in shock. How could this be possible? The spiritual energy that had just been condensed would actually dissipate.
Could he be a powerful warrior in the late Jindan stage? If that were the case, I would be doomed.
Because Chen Li was using the dragon clan's pressure, there was no way his identity would be discovered, and even if it was discovered, Sun Lou would be helpless.
I did this just to test what effect this dragon clan's secret technique would have on human cultivators.
The pressure continued to spread with Chen Li as the center. Some cultivators felt this terrifying pressure and actually half-knelt on the ground, with blood flowing from their eyes and weak breath.
Even the cultivators in the early stage of the Golden Core fell from the sky, desperately using their spiritual energy to protect their meridians.
Zheng Yuandu was half-kneeling on the ground. Because Chen Li was too close to him, he felt a terrible danger.
Chen Li looked at everyone with disdain, scanning the crowd like a king. He raised his right hand and a spiritual sword instantly appeared in his hand.
Although Sun Lou managed to hold on under this pressure, he had no power to fight back. Even if he wanted to do something, it was impossible.
"Die." Chen Li spoke lightly, and slashed down with the spiritual sword in his hand.
When the spiritual sword was about to strike Sun Lou, he suddenly disappeared, turned into a golden light, and flew to a faraway place.
Chen Li was a little surprised. He didn't expect that under such pressure, he could actually escape.
It seems that he must have some powerful protective magic weapon on him.
"I say, your pressure is really a bit scary, can you please hold it back?" Zheng Yuan couldn't bear it anymore and shouted quickly.
He felt that if Chen Li did not withdraw his pressure, he would die here.
Upon hearing this, Chen Li slowly withdrew his pressure, glanced at Zheng Yuan, and said with a teasing tone: "I say, how come you are so weak."
When Zheng Yuan heard this, he was furious.
Listen, is this human language? A cultivator in the middle stage of the Golden Core can use such a terrifying secret method and ask how a cultivator at the peak of the early stage of the Golden Core can be so weak.
Anyone would be very angry and want to kill him.
Zheng Yuan still suppressed such thoughts, after all, he couldn't beat Chen Li.
"What should we do next?" Zheng Yuan walked to Chen Li and asked him.
Chen Li grinned, pointed at the golden light not far away and said, "Holding a treasure is a capital crime, and if you let him go back alive, Nie Yunlong and the others will not let you go."
Zheng Yuan's heart was shocked and he immediately understood what Chen Li meant.
This guy not only wanted the magic weapon from Sun Lou, he had even thought about what would happen next.
It seems that becoming his companion is almost my best choice.
"In that case, there is no need to stay here, let's chase." After saying that, Zheng Yuan's figure turned into a stream of light and suddenly chased after him.
Of course Chen Li did not stop and disappeared from this place with Zheng Yuan.
The rest of the people breathed a sigh of relief after seeing those people disappear.
Who is that man in black and why can he suppress them so easily?
Even the strong ones in the Jindan stage would be suppressed. It was extremely terrifying.
Their original plan was to go along with them, but now it seems that it is impossible to go along unless they want to become the dead souls under their hands.
As for Sun Lou, he had been running towards a certain direction, and with the help of magic weapons, he was running very fast.
"Damn it, I was forced to use this thing. It's so hateful." Sun Lou gritted his teeth, looking very unwilling.
He originally thought that Zheng Yuan's accomplice was just in the early stage of Jindan, but now it seems that he was really overthinking.
The opponent was so powerful that he only needed a touch of pressure to make him use the magic weapon to save his life.
While he was running away, he suddenly saw two figures coming towards him quickly.
He widened his eyes in surprise. He didn't expect these two guys to chase him.
Because the time of the secret technique is almost up, and the magic weapon cannot last that long, it is estimated that he will be caught up soon.
I must think of a way to get rid of them completely, otherwise I will really die here.
He concealed his own breath, descended, and disappeared into a forest in just a moment.
Zheng Yuan looked at the other person disappearing, his expression turned ugly, "What happened? I saw him just now, but now he's gone?"
Because he saw that guy not far away the moment before, and the next moment Sun Lou suddenly disappeared, as if he had become invisible.
Chen Li's eyes were emitting golden light. With the enhancement brought by the dragon bone, his vision was very clear. He soon saw a figure not far away.
"Over there." He pointed to a place not far away and said to Zheng Yuan.
Zheng Yuan looked in the direction Chen Li pointed. There was a forest there, and it looked very strange.
Every tree is pitch black, without leaves, only long branches. The trunks look very thick, and the lines on them look like human faces.
Sun Lou actually dared to enter such a scary place. Was he really not afraid of encountering any danger here?
In fact, this is not the case. Even if there is danger here, Sun Lou can only choose to hide here. Otherwise, if he is found by Chen Li and others, the ending will not be so good.
Not long after, Chen Li and Zheng Yuan arrived at the forest.
Since continuing to fly in the air would only waste spiritual energy, it would be better to choose to land and search.
On Sun Lou's side, he was fleeing continuously, but before he had taken a few steps, he sensed a dangerous aura.
There was a whoosh sound, and a streak of light flew directly past him.
It was a dagger. Although it did not hit him, it broke the tree into pieces when it stabbed into it not far away.
"I didn't expect you to be such a fast runner." Zheng Yuan grinned and walked up from behind Sun Lou.
Sun Lou's face was gloomy. He had already used a secret method to hide his figure, but he was still found.
Could it be that the man in black did it? Sun Lou turned and looked at Chen Li. This guy's strength has always been a mystery, and it is not easy to attack him.
He stared at Chen Li with his eyes fixed on him, and asked in a cold voice, "Who are you?"
"Elder Sun, what's wrong with you? Can't you even recognize me?" Chen Li grinned and revealed his figure.
Sun Lou looked incredulous: "It's you!"
Unexpectedly, the person following Zheng Yuan would be Chen Li.
You know, Chen Li is from the same faction as him. Logically, this guy should help him, so why did he help Zheng Yuan?
Could it be that from the very beginning, Chen Li was a member of Zhou Cheng’s faction?
This made Sun Lou immediately realize that they had all been deceived by Chen Li.
No wonder Chen Li found them before and said there was a spiritual vein here. It turned out that everything was an illusion.
" Elder Sun, it's been a long time since we last met." Chen Li grinned and said to Sun Lou.
Sun Lou snorted coldly, "Elder Chen, you are really good at this. Aren't you afraid of being exposed?"
"As long as you die here, no one will know." Chen Li laughed, obviously intending to kill.
Now that he dares to reveal himself, it means he is not afraid of being exposed.
Sun Lou is now just a dying man. If he knows these things, he can die without regrets.
And he did this for another purpose, which was to cover for Zheng Yuan.
Just when Sun Lou wanted to say something, he found that Zheng Yuan, who was standing next to Chen Li, had disappeared.
"Elder Sun, have you forgotten that I am still here?" Zheng Yuan's voice suddenly came from behind him.
Sun Lou was shocked. Damn it, how could this guy appear in front of him so quickly and without any breath at all.
The moment Zheng Yuan was about to swing the dagger to kill Sun Lou, a scene occurred that shocked everyone.
