Chapter 1257 - 1255: Each Fulfills Their Duty

Wang Zhan slightly frowned, of course he didn’t want to see this situation occur.

He gradually raised his hand and tapped his brow, temporarily unable to think of a good strategy.

After hesitating for a moment, Wang Zhan continued, "Since we don’t have any other solutions now, we might as well step out of the Ninefold Thunder Sound Tower and see what the situation outside is actually like."

"If Li Yuan Yi is really always waiting outside the Ninefold Thunder Sound Tower, then we must reevaluate our division of labor."

"This way we won’t be caught off guard by him!"

"Moreover, everyone here is not weak, and presumably, everyone has their own means. If we cooperate, we may not be able to directly kill Li Yuan Yi, but we certainly have the means to escape from his grasp!"

While speaking, Wang Zhan’s gaze fell on Xu Changqiu beside him, and he said gradually, "You and Wu Yanxu should stay inside the Ninefold Thunder Sound Tower. Your overall strength is somewhat weaker compared to ours, so following us outside won’t provide much help. Thus, staying in the Ninefold Thunder Sound Tower is the best option."

"The same goes for Zuo Linglong. During this period, you three should take the opportunity to exchange ideas about Alchemy. When we return to the Sky Pavilion, help me establish our own Alchemy team to strengthen the overall power of the Sky Pavilion!"

"I, along with the Sword Spirit, Fire Qilin, and the Soul Beast, will go out to confront him."

"We’ll be responsible for engaging him head-on, and Ling Ruo naturally needs to follow us to assist."

Wang Zhan’s gaze fell on Ling Ruo, and he directly spoke a couple of sentences.

Ling Ruo resolutely nodded, although he also feared Li Yuan Yi’s power and knew there was no comparison between them. At this moment, he wouldn’t retreat an inch and was determined to follow Wang Zhan and help lead everyone to get away.

Moreover, he gradually understood Wang Zhan’s charm, always caring for those around him no matter the circumstances.

No wonder so many experts were willing to stay by Wang Zhan’s side.

If he could enter the Sky Pavilion in the future, it might be a good thing for him.

"You will be responsible for taking advantage of the time we engage him. Quickly break the formation, and preferably set up a few more formations to help restrict Li Yuan Yi. As long as you can delay him for some time, we’ll have enough confidence to leave quickly. Once we return to the Sky Pavilion, Li Yuan Yi won’t be able to threaten us anymore!"

There’s also a formation around the Sky Pavilion, which can surely protect everyone inside the Sky Pavilion.

Not only would Li Yuan Yi be unable to break the formation, those top experts on the Star War Battlefield would face the same challenge.

Wang Zhan at least had some confidence in the formations he arranged.

Ling Ruo nodded heavily, knowing that he was indeed the key step. If he could break the formation set by Li Yuan Yi, Wang Zhan and the others could save a lot of energy and immediately get away using their full strength!

However, if Ling Ruo couldn’t easily break the formation, they would have to use brute force to break through.

Doing so would definitely consume a lot, naturally impacting them significantly.

After making their decision, several people quickly left the space.

Just stepping outside of the Ninefold Thunder Sound Tower, Wang Zhan sensed Li Yuan Yi’s aura approaching them. With the surrounding air swirling, Li Yuan Yi steadily appeared before them.

But this time was notably different; behind Li Yuan Yi were two armored men whose faces showed extreme displeasure, their eyes fixed on Wang Zhan and his companions.

Their bodies were entirely covered with steel armor, leaving only a pair of blood-red eyes exposed.

They were clearly no simple characters.

Wang Zhan arrogantly glanced at the two armored men before returning focus to Li Yuan Yi, then directly spoke, "I don’t want to be your enemy, nor do I wish for a major confrontation here. Our cultivation hasn’t come easily. A battle where both sides lose everything helps neither of us, not even you!"

"So if you want to resolve this peacefully, I promise compensation in the future, ensuring your satisfaction! After all, I’ve absorbed all the strength from the miracle fruit. You should see that the strength of those behind me has doubled due to the power of the miracle fruit!"

Wang Zhan squinted at Li Yuan Yi, realizing he needed to be cautious now.

Meanwhile, those around him traded glances and locked eyes back onto Li Yuan Yi.

They were also worried that Li Yuan Yi might react irrationally, attacking Wang Zhan without warning, leaving him with no time to dodge!

Though Wang Zhan possessed the Absolute Heaven’s Sword, facing off against Li Yuan Yi was still beyond his capability.

Li Yuan Yi just smiled, slowly raising his hands, causing Heaven and Earth to change, the sky turning a blood-red shade.

The two armored men beside him also moved slightly, resembling robots.

Yet, Wang Zhan noticed an issue; Elixir Valley felt like a pile of corpses, with no trace of any aura fluctuation.

But he distinctly remembered that there were so many people in Elixir Valley. Where have these people gone?

Wang Zhan’s expression changed, clenching his teeth tightly, he spoke word by word, "Where are the people in Elixir Valley? What did you do to them?"

Back then, in the Ninefold Thunder Sound Tower, Wang Zhan had heard Xu Changqiu and the others mention issues regarding Elixir Valley, where the people had mysteriously vanished, and most couldn’t be traced anymore, leaving their whereabouts unknown.

Thus, it led to a conclusion that perhaps some were concocting specific cultivation methods.

That’s why everyone left!

But after all, with Li Yuan stationed in Elixir Valley, if someone was manipulating under his nose, how could it escape his notice?

This merely proved that there might be something directly related to Li Yuan.

Li Yuan sneered twice and said faintly, "Remember what I told you before? Even if all of you absorbed the miracle fruits completely, I still have a way to extract all the power of the miracle fruits from your bodies!"

"And what you see now is precisely what it means; those people are now entirely my nourishment, merged with my body! But this can be considered their supreme glory!"

"I initially established Elixir Valley for this purpose, to take their power for my own in the future, but what I didn’t expect was that the people in Elixir Valley were too weak. Fortunately, there were some Elder Officials, otherwise, my efforts would be in vain."

"But your strength is still quite decent, so if I can use you to make up for it, then it isn’t a loss either."

Wang Zhan only felt a chill creeping up his back.

Could there really be such ruthless and heartless people in this world?

The people in Elixir Valley were all the elders following him, some of whom even co-founded Elixir Valley with him.

Unexpectedly, Li Yuan would strike against these people, and with such cruel methods!

How does such a person dare to be the Valley Master of Elixir Valley?

"I know what you are thinking, you must think I’m rather cruel and heartless? But you’re not unaware of the rules on the Star War Battlefield; the law of the jungle is always the principle here, even if I don’t take action against them, they won’t live long in the future either!"

"So now I’m not only not harming them, but I’m also helping them, allowing them to die pleasantly without suffering so much pain. So even if they’re in the underworld, they should be tearfully grateful to me!"

Such ridiculous words.

Wang Zhan’s teeth were almost ground to pieces, clenching his fists while looking at Li Yuan in front of him, the fury in his heart skyrocketing.

Such a person is unfit to exist on the Star War Battlefield.

He is even more detestable than demons and demonic beasts.

Seeing Wang Zhan dash into the sky, directly rushing towards Li Yuan Yi, "Today I will act on behalf of Heaven, even if I can’t kill you, I will use my life to severely wound you!"

Ha!

Li Yuan sneered with a hint of disdain, signaling to the two armored men beside him with a glance, and immediately, those two armored men moved mechanically, rushing directly towards Wang Zhan!

The strength of those two far exceeded Wang Zhan’s imagination, with an aura from head to toe that was terrifying!

They were clearly not simple characters.

In just a brief clash, Wang Zhan had swiftly retreated several steps, even his face had turned quite ugly.

The Absolute Heaven’s Sword in his hand was also trembling continuously.

At this moment, those who had stood behind Wang Zhan along with the Soul-Calming Beast rushed towards Li Yuan as well. They had already resolved that it was necessary to quickly kill Li Yuan if possible to prevent unexpected incidents!

Even if they couldn’t successfully slaughter Li Yuan, they had to pose some threat to him!

Ling Ruo also, at this time, quickly began to operate formation techniques, trying all means to break them, reducing pressure on Wang Zhan and his people!
