Chapter 297: First Meeting with Sadik
Chapter 297: First Meeting with Sadik
Last time, we talked about how Hulu Xuanyi gave Li Yi the hallucinogen that Yanda gave him. This time, let's see where Yanda got the courage to arm wrestle with Li Yi.
Before leaving the hall, Li Yi deliberately tugged at his pants and clothes, looking embarrassed, and said to the door: "If Yanda's people come to ask, just say that I drank medicinal wine."
Hulu Xuanyi hummed and watched Li Yi leave, then laughed when he thought of the illusion Li Yi had deliberately created.
Li Yi left the palace and returned to his tent, but was caught by Xiao Ziyi. Seeing the dishevelled Li Yi, Xiao Ziyi scolded him, "Li Yi, are you still a human being? The child is already so old, but you still don't let him go! Where is your bottom line? Where are your principles? Have you let the dog eat them?"
Li Yi knew that Xiao Ziyi would not believe anything he said now, so he simply threw the jar into the air and said solemnly: "I am sacrificing myself for the Great Wei! Otherwise, in the future, when we arrange marriages, we may not necessarily marry any princess to the Western Regions!"
"Ah, you are quite confident! You are so lustful just for the sake of Wei! Should I thank you on behalf of the Wei royal family?"
"Don't just thank me with words, show some real action! Give me a few tens of thousands of taels to supplement the household expenses first!"
"I don't have any reward money, but how about a prince consort? When I go back this time, I will talk to my mother and settle our relationship, so that you don't have to sacrifice yourself for the Wei Dynasty! I'm afraid that the Wei Dynasty cannot reward you for your noble character..."
Just at the word "no", Li Yi blocked Xiao Ziyi's mouth with his own, holding her head with one hand and her back with the other, and the two of them pressed tightly together.
After about one third of an incense stick of time, Li Yi opened his mouth and looked calmly at Xiao Daxia, who blushed, lowered his head and walked away silently.
Li Yi laughed: "Humph, little guy, I can't control you. Oh, illusion, I haven't experienced it yet, I don't know if their imagination is rich enough, and whether the illusion they create is novel." With full of expectations, Li Yi fell asleep on the bed...
In the dim light, Li Yi felt someone approaching his tent quietly. Suddenly, blue flames lit up in the four corners. This was a barrier, the same as the barrier of the four mysterious people in Xingxing Gorge! Li Yi knew that if he was trapped, he would be in trouble. He took out the Spirit Feather Arrow from the sack and threw it. The four people in the corner fell to the ground.
Li Yi opened the door curtain and walked out, only to find that there was another world outside. He thought: Damn, he was still under the illusion even though he didn't drink the medicine, this guy is really something.
At this time, Li Yi was walking in a wilderness. In addition to strange trees and rocks, there were various symbols that seemed to lead him somewhere...
In reality, a dozen men in black with scimitars in their hands had already reached the outside of the tents of other people. With a slide of his hand on the scimitar, a flame ignited on the knife, but it quickly went out.
They tried again, but the result was the same. Just as they were stunned, countless ice swords and stone swords fell from the sky, instantly killing the men in black.
Yan Da, who was hiding not far away, frowned and said, "Since they are prepared, there is no need to act in secret! We must end the battle as soon as possible while Li Yi is in the illusion. Fire rockets, and the wolf soldiers prepare wolf tooth hooks. After the volley, charge directly! Except for those two women, no one should be left alive."
After three rounds of volleys of fire arrows, the area around the tents had turned into a sea of fire. Hundreds of soldiers wearing black cloaks immediately rushed over. The cloaks they wore were specially made of black wolf skins, which not only had strong defensive power, but were also fireproof. However, these wolf soldiers jumped into the sea of fire, swung the wolf-head hooks in their hands, and tore open the tents one by one, but there was no one in the tents.
"Are you looking for us?"
Xiao Ziyi suddenly jumped down from mid-air, and with her landed countless gravel swords. However, her attack did not cause much damage to the demon wolf soldiers, and she herself was trapped in the enemy's formation.
At this time, Liu Ruyun and Yu Jiu rushed into the formation to rescue Xiao Ziyi. Liu Ruyun did not use his own Mingyi, but used sword energy to cause damage. Yu Jiu also knew that ordinary fire was useless against these guys, and he used spiritual fire, which was effective but consumed a lot of energy.
The well-trained magic wolf soldiers used the wolf head hooks in their hands to separate Liu Xiao and Yu Jiu. After all, the two women had to be kept alive, so they focused on Yu Jiu. After all, Yu Jiu was still young and lacked combat experience. After just a few encounters, he was scratched all over by the wolf head hooks.
Seeing that Yu Jiu was about to collapse, Zhang Biao found an iron chain as thick as an arm from somewhere, and jumped to Yu Jiu's side waving the chain.
You have to know that such a thick chain is definitely not light, and it is very laborious to swing it, but even the specially made black wolf skin cannot defend against such heavy weapons. He instantly resolved Yu Jiu's crisis and took him to reunite with Liu Xiao.
Langya, who was hiding in the dark, was filled with anxiety when he saw this situation. He only regretted that he had not practiced enough. He said to the housekeeper Zhou who was protecting him: "I will hide here. They won't find me. Don't worry about me. Go and help!"
Butler Zhou was also worried about Xiao Ziyi getting into trouble, so he showed his weapon and launched an attack from the outside to contain the demon wolf soldiers. After taking the wolf head hooks from the two, Butler Zhou merged the two into one, turning into a two-headed wolf and continued to attack. Liu, Xiao, Zhang and the other four, who were surrounded, seized the opportunity to launch a counterattack, and soon more than half of the demon wolf soldiers were killed or injured.
These demon wolf soldiers are Yan Da's personal guards, and they can't all be left here. He immediately shouted, "Master! Why don't you take action?"
A black-robed man with pale skin, purple-red eye circles and lips, who looked neither human nor ghost, walked up to Yan Da. He raised his hands, revealing two arms covered with fire-patterned charms, and then clenched his fists. The fire-patterned charms glowed with a dark red halo and turned into two strange weapons, like maces, except that one side had an eagle's claw, and the other had a gun head in addition to a handshake.
The man in black robe rushed into the formation waving two eagle claw sticks. He waved his hands, grabbed Zhang Biao's iron chain with one and Xiao Ziyi's sword with the other, then kicked Liu Ruyun in the chest with both feet, knocking her away!
The black-robed man looked at Yu Jiu again and spit out a stream of flames. Yu Jiu immediately responded by spitting out flames as well. The two streams of flames collided and exploded. The shock wave knocked over Xiao Ziyi and Zhang Biao, while Yu Jiu was knocked back several steps.
Yu Jiu was surprised in his heart: He did that attack on purpose! No, no matter in strength or combat experience, he and I are not on the same level. The only one who can fight with him is Master Liu, but Master Liu must have been injured in that attack. What should I do?
While Yu Jiu was thinking about countermeasures, the man in black robe had already grabbed Butler Zhou's neck and punched him in the face. At the critical moment, the spirit feather arrow suddenly flew over, and the man in black robe let go of Butler Zhou, jumped back, and reached out to pick up the eagle claw stick stuck in the ground.
"Young Master!" Yu Jiu asked excitedly, "Why did you come just now?"
Li Yi landed in front of Butler Zhou and transformed the measuring ruler into a spear. He then said, "I played in the illusion for a while. After all, this is my first time seeing an illusion."
Liu Xiao and Zhang Yu came behind Li Yi one after another. Liu Ruyun wiped the blood from the corner of his mouth and said, "This guy is not simple. Even if he doesn't have the strength of the extraordinary realm, he is almost there. If it wasn't for saving my life, that attack just now would have killed me."
Li Yi said sternly, "In the Zoroastrianism, there is probably only one person who is stronger than Hadir, besides the high priest Lu Sheng. May I ask if you are Hadir's senior brother Sadik?"
The man in black robes replied: "You know my name?"
Li Yi looked at Sadik and said coldly: "Since you are here, the Qiang-Di coalition army heading to Tianshan must have been wiped out."
Sadik did not reply to Li Yi, but took off his robe to reveal a body covered with fire marks, which looked like a three-legged bird flapping its wings.
Li Yi teased: "What is that tattooed on your body? The three-legged golden crow? That's such a coincidence, me and this..."
Before he could finish his words, Sadik swung his two eagle claw sticks to create a huge fireball, and a three-legged golden crow covered in flames flew out of it and pounced on Li Yi.
Li Yi was suddenly stunned because the scenery around him had completely changed. Ten suns were in the sky, the rivers had dried up, the land was barren for thousands of miles, and the grass and trees had turned to ashes. It was as if he was in the scene of Dayi shooting down the sun.
It's an illusion! No, I have to get rid of this illusion quickly, otherwise, that damn bird will attack me!
Although he thought so, it was too late. Li Yi only felt the pain of burning body, and then he flew out and fell into the sea of fire. His whole body was burned red and his clothes were also burned.
"Li Yi!" Xiao Ziyi shouted and was about to rush over.
Liu Ruyun stretched out her hand to hold her back and said, "If Li Yi can't even withstand this blow, he will die here tonight. Just leave it to fate!"
At this moment, a meteor streaked across the night sky and fell on Li Yi. In an instant, the temperature dropped sharply, and the sea of fire disappeared. It turned out that the meteor was actually a meteorite!
Sadik frowned and looked up at the moon, then leaped into the air, holding the eagle claw stick upside down in both hands, intending to give Li Yi a fatal blow with the gun tip at the handhold.
The measuring ruler transformed into a spear and suddenly thrust out. Sadik crossed the eagle claw stick in front of his chest, but the spear suddenly became longer and pushed him out. When Sadik landed and stood firm, he looked towards Li Yi.
Li Yi, wearing a full moon breastplate, a crescent moon shoulder and arm guard on his right hand, a half-moon knee-length armor skirt, and bright silver boots, came out. His whole body was red, his face was solemn, he turned the measuring ruler into a crescent bow in his left hand, held the spirit feather arrow in his right hand, and looked at Sadik coldly.
Li Yi said seriously: "I didn't expect you to be still alive!"
Sadik smiled evilly and turned away.
Li Yi shouted, "Don't even think about running!" As soon as he finished speaking, the spirit feather arrow shot out and headed straight for Sadiq's heart.
Sadik dodged and leaped to Yanda's side, paused for a moment, patted his shoulder, and then jumped up again.
The spiritual feather arrow shot directly through Yan Da's chest, leaving a big hole in his body, but not a drop of blood flowed out. This move was exactly the Hunting Sun Arrow.
Seeing Sadik disappear into the darkness, Li Yi walked to Yanda's side, checked his body, frowned and said: "Soul Substitution Technique, it turns out that this guy is his substitute!"
The remaining demon wolf soldiers saw Yan Da dead and immediately fled. Li Yi snorted coldly, waved his sword, and the Spirit Feather Arrow entered the hunting moment.
The spirit feather arrow flew at high speed, piercing the chest, breaking the belly, breaking the head, and killing the remaining wolf soldiers in just a few breaths, and then flew back to Li Yi. He put the measuring ruler and the spirit feather arrow into the sack, then sat in meditation on the spot, clasped his hands together, and chanted scriptures.
Buddha light was emanating from Li Yi's body, floating on the battlefield like mist and clouds. After a while, Li Yi frowned and said, "The dead souls still cannot enter the Yellow Springs Road! Use Rashomon again? No, that would consume too much energy. What if Sadik takes the opportunity to attack us?"
Just when he was in a dilemma, he heard a horse neighing, and then a tall and strong white horse ran to Li Yi's side. He laughed and saluted the white horse and said, "Li Yi greets the Netherworld Spirit Envoy. Why did Brother Horse-Faced come here alone this time? Where is Brother Ox-Headed?"
The white horse butted Li Yi with its head, and the latter realized that it was not the horse-faced beast in front of him. He then put his hands together and chanted the Sutra of Ksitigarbha Bodhisattva, and reached out to touch the forehead of the white horse. The white horse was surrounded by Buddha light, and blue-green clouds floated out of a well and merged into the forehead of the white horse.
The white horse raised its front hooves and neighed loudly, then it transformed into a human form in the five-colored halo. The ghost messenger Horse-Faced arrived in the human world under the gaze of everyone.
The Horse-Faced Master bowed to Li Yi and said, "Kai'er, Brother Li, I am here on the orders of Ksitigarbha Bodhisattva to investigate the matter of the blocked road to the underworld. Kai'er, I just happened to pass by here and was touched by your Buddhist teachings, so I came to say hello to you."
Li Yi returned the greeting and said, "Brother Horse-faced, why did you come alone this time? Where is Brother Ox-headed?"
