Chapter 578 - 303: Encounter with an Acquaintance (Vote for Monthly Ticket)_2

"Good! This is a solution!"

Lin Kai’s eyes lit up as he agreed.

"I’ll leave the mark!"

As she spoke, the woman in red made her move, using rouge to draw a red dot on the right wall.

"Let’s go!"

With the mark in place, the three were invigorated.

After the three had walked for a while, Li Yunjing arrived at the spot. He glanced at the red dot on the wall and couldn’t help but let out a "Hmm".

"They left a mark? Because of the maze? It seems that if I keep walking like this, I might not know at which junction I will encounter these people."

Li Yunjing’s expression changed. He infused his various spiritual artifacts with mana, ready to attack at any moment.

Li Yunjing continued down the path for another dozen miles, encountering dozens of marked spots. He seemed to become clearer about the maze; this clumsy method truly could filter out unexplored paths.

"Step, step!"

Suddenly, footsteps rang out ahead.

"It’s you! The kid from Shenxiao Dao Sect!"

Canglan Master, the woman in red, and Lin Kai were startled to see their enemy in the underground tunnel.

Seeing Li Yunjing, the enemy who had caused them great harm, the three instinctively formed the Three Talents Array, surrounding him.

"Haha! I did not expect to meet you! We are old friends, after all!"

Seeing the familiar trio, Li Yunjing was initially surprised but quickly calmed down and even managed to smile.

Not seen for four years, he was no longer the Inner Sect disciple at the peak of Qi Refining Realm anymore.

Despite the fact that these three were old monsters of the Golden Core Realm, now degraded to Foundation Establishment Realm cultivators, Li Yunjing showed no fear.

Having faced true Tier Three Demon Kings and Golden Core Realm cultivators, Li Yunjing had no reverence for these Foundation Establishment Realm cultivators, not even those at Great Perfection.

"Li Yunjing, how did you find this place?"

Lin Kai’s face darkened. Before making a move, some things needed clarification.

Was Li Yunjing alone, or did he have other members of Shenxiao Dao Sect with him?

This was crucial for Lin Kai and the other two.

"How did I find this place? Didn’t you three kill all those people in the small town? The entire place is shrouded in death; I am not blind, how could I not see it?"

Li Yunjing chuckled lightly, but a cold glint flashed through his eyes.

"So, it’s just you alone?"

Lin Kai’s heart skipped a beat, and he sneered.

"Whoosh..."

Without waiting for Li Yunjing’s response, Canglan Master suddenly made his move, raising his treasure flying sword and slashing at Li Yunjing’s head.

"Want to kill me? You’re far from capable!"

Facing Canglan Master’s strike, Li Yunjing didn’t dare to be careless. He unleashed his full power, activating all his spiritual artifacts. The Myriad Poison Banner and Blood Demon Seal, two vicious demon treasures, flew out from his body.

The Blood Demon Seal trembled mid-air, making a "clang" sound as it collided heavily with Canglan Master’s flying sword, both flipping away.

"Foundation Establishment Realm!"

"Demon Treasure!"

Seeing this, the woman in red and Lin Kai exclaimed in disbelief!

One was shocked that Li Yunjing had advanced to the Foundation Establishment Realm in four years and reached the Third Heaven; the other was stunned that Li Yunjing could wield demon treasures!

Is he still a member of the Profound Sect?

"Whoosh..."

Li Yunjing’s figure flickered, creating nine illusion bodies that scattered like lightning towards both ends of the passage.

For a moment, Canglan Master, the woman in red, and Lin Kai didn’t know which one to pursue.

"Damn it!"

Lin Kai cursed. The passage was one yard wide and two yards high. Li Yunjing’s nine illusion bodies darted within, making it impossible for the three to pinpoint his true body.

"Everyone, pay attention! The banner I hold is the Myriad Poison Banner, a supreme treasure of the Demon Dao. If you continue to press me, I’ll release the deadly poison! In this confined space, all four of us might perish!"

Li Yunjing coldly laughed as he waved the Myriad Poison Banner, ready to cast its toxic spell at the slightest provocation.

"Clang, clang, clang..."

Canglan Master remained unfazed by Li Yunjing’s threats, continually hacking at the Blood Demon Seal with his flying sword. The rapid clashing of metal was heard, and the Blood Demon Seal, inferior, was sent flying.

Li Yunjing’s demon treasures were not deeply refined and were of lower grade compared to Canglan Master’s. Furthermore, they lacked the familiarity gained from long years of refining under Venus.

Canglan Master’s treasure was as much a part of him as his own body, still capable of exerting some Golden Core Realm power.

After a few clashes, Li Yunjing realized that Canglan Master could wield power comparable to a Tier Three Eagle King.

Such power was almost overwhelming for Li Yunjing.

However, Li Yunjing noticed that aside from the treasure flying sword, Canglan Master didn’t possess any other powerful treasures. It seemed that his collection was all destroyed during the journey across the sea.

This made Li Yunjing feel reassured!

He held several Tier Three items, especially the array plate rewarded by Palace Master Qin. If it came to a desperate fight, Canglan Master might not be his match!

Li Yunjing relied on his two demon treasures and several spiritual artifacts to engage with Canglan Master head-on for a while.

Seeing Canglan Master, the woman in red, and Lin Kai forcing him step by step, Li Yunjing formed a dharma seal with his left hand and chanted: "Grand Five Elements Divine Thunder Demon-Slaying Array!"
