Chapter 303: Taking Charge
Chen Li subconsciously took a few steps back, then Yun emitted a stream of black and white spiritual energy, which immediately blocked the opponent's attack.
But the opponent did not retreat because of this. Instead, Chen Li took several steps back before finally standing firm.
"I never thought that you would be treated like this by such a small character." The huge figure looked at Akabane and sneered.
Chiyu frowned and said with an unhappy look: "This kid is the heir of the Yunjian Sect. You don't think he is really easy to deal with."
He had originally intended to play a trick on Chen Li, but he didn't expect that this kid's attacks became more and more threatening, leaving him with no way to deal with it.
If this guy hadn't appeared, he would have been killed by Chen Li long ago.
Seeing such a situation, Chen Li's eyes were filled with murderous intent, and he stared at the other party.
"It seems that he is a ruthless character. This is good. It is very suitable for the souls who will die under the sword of my Lord Zhou Tao." At this time, Zhou Tao took out a very large long sword and pointed it at Chen Li.
Chiyu stood beside Zhou Tao and said calmly, "Don't underestimate the enemy. This kid has many tricks up his sleeve. I'm afraid he's really hard to deal with."
Zhou Tao sneered, "After all, this guy is only in the late Nascent Soul stage. How powerful can he be? I have killed many people in the late Nascent Soul stage."
You know, he is at the peak of the late Nascent Soul stage. It would be too easy for him to kill an enemy like Chen Li.
Faced with such an underestimating enemy, Chen Li did not act in a hurry. Instead, he observed his surroundings. The sword formation had not yet dissipated, so he could make some preparations.
He took a deep breath, let his consciousness gradually relax, and then looked at the other person with a cold face.
The reason for relaxing the consciousness is to be able to perform sword moves better. Now there are two enemies, so one must keep his body in peak condition.
At this time, Zhou Tao had already rushed over, and the huge long sword in his hand had already chopped down towards Chen Li's forehead.
Chen Li frowned and suddenly thrust out a sword energy, colliding head-on with the opponent's long sword.
Boom! The violent sound spread throughout the battlefield, causing Zhou Tao to step back a few steps, while Chen Li stood still without making any movement.
The sudden change made Zhou Tao's eyes flash with surprise. This kid is quite capable.
"It seems that you still have to let me help you. This kid has too many unique tricks, and it's easy for you to suffer a loss alone." Chiyu stood beside Zhou Tao, with no smile on his face, just staring at Chen Li.
Zhou Tao nodded. He now realized that this kid Chen Li was different from other cultivators. This guy's methods were a bit weird.
If that attack had pierced his body, he would have been seriously injured.
Chen Li was secretly shocked. He didn't expect this guy's perception to be so sharp. His original plan was to use that trick to force the Sky Demon Spider's poison into the opponent's body.
What was unexpected was that this guy actually chose to dodge and had no intention of taking the initiative to fight.
It might be difficult to deal with them both next, so the best way now is not to fight, but to choose to escape.
Chen Li observed the situation around him. Although there were many enemies here, he had no intention of staying here any longer.
It should be impossible to kill these two people. The only way is to escape from here. Anyway, only by staying alive can one survive this battle safely.
As he thought about it, his figure flashed and immediately disappeared from the sight of these people.
Zhou Tao was stunned when he saw Chen Li's figure disappear. Then he showed displeasure on his face. "This kid actually chose to escape. Is he really the heir of Yunjian Sect?"
You know, those guys from the Yunjian Sect are fighting to the death, but this kid Chen Li actually chose to escape resolutely in this battle.
Akabane didn't hesitate at all and flew forward immediately. "Why are you still standing there? Just chase him. Do you think we can still make the next move if we let him go?"
That kid is the heir of the Yunjian Sect. Even if he is not killed, it will be able to make those old guys in the Yunjian Sect restrain themselves.
Only in this way will they have a chance to destroy the Yunjian Sect, so no matter what, they cannot let Chen Li go. They must see him alive or dead.
Zhou Tao also reacted at this time, so he rushed over without hesitation.
Chen Li's speed was still very fast. In almost the blink of an eye, he had escaped to a very far place.
However, Chiyu and Zhou Tao did not seem to intend to let Chen Li go so easily, and they still followed him closely.
"Tsk, this is really troublesome. If that guy Chen Xuan were here, it would probably be a little easier." Chen Li felt a little regretful now. If Chen Xuan were here, he wouldn't be so embarrassed.
But it’s too late to regret now. I might as well choose to escape from here first, at least to get rid of these two guys in front of me first.
He looked around and saw that the battle around him was still going on. Chen Li did not run anywhere else, but instead went towards the center of the battlefield.
Although this place has a very strong spiritual energy and the environment has changed to a certain extent, he can still tell that this is at the foot of the Yunjian Sect mountain.
After all, the terrain cannot be changed, so Chen Li can find some locations so easily.
Not long after, he saw a figure appear in front of him, it was Akabane .
"You've been running for so long, do you really think I will let you go?" Akabane held an exquisite dagger in his hand and stabbed it into Chen Li's heart.
Even though he hadn't stabbed the target yet, Chen Li felt a sharp pain in his heart, which made him frown.
Although the pain was extremely severe, it was not unbearable, so he chose to dodge the attack as soon as possible.
Just as he dodged the attack, Zhou Tao behind him launched an attack, and the long knife in his hand was already slashing towards Chen Li's neck.
Even if this knife didn't cut off Chen Li's head, it would still cause him serious injuries , so one must be careful with such things.
Chen Li frowned. Being attacked from both sides, he had no way to retreat. It seemed that he had to use some trump cards.
At this moment, a sword light suddenly flew by, and in just a moment, it interrupted the opponent's attack.
"Old Dog Li, you are not dead!" Zhou Tao shouted loudly after seeing the sword light.
A figure who looked somewhat old came out and said coldly, "You all are not dead, why should I die?"
Looking at the figure in front of him, Chen Li didn't know why, but he always felt that the other party brought him a familiar aura.
"Tsk, let's retreat." After Akabane saw the figure, he flew away immediately.
Zhou Tao glanced at Chen Li over there, his eyes filled with ruthlessness, but he had no intention of staying any longer, so he turned around and left.
Seeing that the other party had left, Chen Li finally breathed a sigh of relief. Fortunately, someone came to support him, otherwise he would have died here.
"It seems that you are the young master of our Yunjian Sect." The old man walked up to Chen Li and said while stroking his beard.
Chen Li was a little stunned. He didn't expect that this old man actually regarded himself as the heir of the Yunjian Sect.
Chen Li waved his hand and said, "I am not the heir of the Yunjian Sect. I can only say that it was by chance that I gained some inheritance."
"No, judging from the aura you carry, you are undoubtedly the Young Sect Master. I, the eighteenth elder of the Yunjian Sect, Li Canghai, pay my respects to the Young Sect Master." Li Canghai saluted Chen Li, looking very respectful.
Chen Li held his forehead with his hand. He had no way to explain this. The other party actually thought he was the young sect leader.
"The battlefield is in chaos now, and the sect master is seriously injured and in seclusion. I'm afraid it will take a long time for him to recover. During this period, please ask the young sect master to return to the sect and take charge of the overall situation." Li Canghai said to Chen Li respectfully.
This sentence made Chen Li at a loss for a moment. He, an outsider, was asked to take charge of the situation. Isn't this a bit inappropriate?
"I'm afraid this is not a good idea." Chen Li looked at Li Canghai and said to him.
After all, he only obtained the Yunjian Sect's inheritance by luck. If he let them know that he was not the young sect master, they would probably have some murderous intentions.
Li Canghai shook his head. "The Yunjian Sect is leaderless now. Even if we can't take charge of the overall situation, we can at least boost morale. Please come back with me, Young Sect Master."
Although the Yunjian Sect has a lot of foundation, without the help of the sect leader, it is only a matter of time before they are defeated.
After all, this is a collaboration between many sects, and with the help of the demons, they are fighting against the Yunjian Sect together. No matter how capable the Yunjian Sect is, it cannot defeat a large number of enemies alone.
Chen Li touched his chin, thought about it again and again, and finally agreed, "Since Elder Li has said so, let's go."
At least he knew very well that the Yunjian Sect was not a demonic sect, so he could only take a gamble and hope that they would show leniency. At least he would help them.
After hearing Chen Li agreed, Li Canghai felt relieved and finally led Chen Li away.
They flew all the way towards the mountain gate of the Yunjian Sect. There were many cultivators attacking the mountain gate around them, and at the same time, many disciples of the Yunjian Sect were also fighting back.
Chen Li was about to offer assistance, but was stopped by Li Canghai, " What you need to do now is not to help them, but to go back and take charge of the overall situation first."
The disciples of their Yunjian Sect are not weaklings, and they are more than enough to deal with these enemies. Even if Chen Li wants to help, he can only help the people in front of him, and he can't help anywhere else.
After listening to Li Canghai's advice, Chen Li did not continue and followed Li Canghai to leave this place again.
After entering the mountain gate of the Yunjian Sect, an extremely rich spiritual energy made Chen Li feel very comfortable. He had never seen such rich spiritual energy before.
Even near the spiritual vein, the spiritual energy is not as dense as that of this mountain gate. It seems that this is one of the reasons why the Yunjian Sect has lasted for a long time.
While observing the surroundings, Chen Li followed Li Canghai towards a certain location. Soon they arrived at a hall that looked very magnificent.
He had an impression of this place. It was the place where he had searched for treasure at the ruins of the Yunjian Sect. He didn't expect that after entering this secret realm of memories, he would come here again.
Moreover, quite a few powerful men have gathered around here, and each of them looks very powerful. There are even two monks whose cultivation levels have reached an immeasurable level.
Feeling the burning gazes of these people, Chen Li almost stood there and dared not move. After all, this was no joke. Once something happened, the other party would kill him with just a look.
"Is this aura coming from the Young Sect Master?" A voice suddenly sounded and asked Chen Li.
The person who spoke was the elder who had exuded a terrifying aura just now. At this moment, he was looking straight at Chen Li, looking a little respectful.
Chen Li was a little surprised. He didn't expect that the other party, with such powerful cultivation, didn't even realize that he was a fake?
Li Canghai said, "The young master who has been wandering for many years has returned. The sect master is currently recovering from his injuries, so please ask the young sect master to take charge of the situation."
