Chapter 1259 - 1257: The Path of No Return

Wang Zhan hurriedly shouted, then threw the black beads in his hand towards Li Yuan Yi.

As the black beads approached Li Yuan Yi, his complexion instantly changed, then he abruptly raised his hand.

Boom!

With the loud bang from the sky, even an expert like Li Yuan Yi had to take a few steps back.

He no longer had the strength to stand.

Her face was ashen, tightly clenching her fists, feeling her internal energy surging with no power left to resist Wang Zhan.

"This guy is just a useless loser, why does he possess such a powerful hidden weapon?"

"Know what kind of monster you are!"

Li Yuan Yi snarled twice, he could even sense that inside the black beads was an extremely terrifying energy!

Even he didn’t dare to confront it easily!

And Wang Zhan and his group took this chance, rapidly heading out of Elixir Valley, rushing straight towards Sky Pavilion.

As long as they could return to the Sky Pavilion in time, they could find a way to counter Li Yuan Yi. Even if trapped inside, they could activate formation techniques, completely isolating themselves, securing an unbeatable position at least.

Watching Wang Zhan and the others gradually vanish, Li Yuan Yi spat a few mouthfuls of blood before coldly speaking: "I don’t care what you’re up to, nor do I care what your thing does, though I’ve suffered injuries, you certainly won’t escape today! Since you’ve consumed the miracle fruit, then I’ll thoroughly refine your bodies, re-condensing the power of the miracle fruit within you!"

"By then, the miracle fruit will still be mine!"

Though Wang Zhan and others had heard his words, they didn’t stop, moving at a terrifying speed.

Wang Zhan glanced at the Soul Beast beside him; it was the Soul Beast battling against Li Yuan Yi earlier, so his heart was worried. He quickly asked: "How’s your situation here? I saw you seemed to struggle while battling Li Yuan Yi earlier!"

Although Wang Zhan could tell that the Soul Beast had used a lot of trump cards,

there was still a significant gap between them and Li Yuan Yi, and it was clear they were injured.

The Soul Beast grinned, though his complexion was pale, he gritted his teeth: "Don’t worry, I can still hold on. This guy indeed has some strength, but it’s not enough to defeat me. We shouldn’t stop, continue heading towards Sky Pavilion directly. That guy should have been shocked by your hidden weapon and is likely injured. We must seize the time to escape this area quickly!"

This is, after all, Li Yuan Yi’s territory, and his formidable strength is evident, even if injured. He can recover quickly.

If Li Yuan Yi catches up, they won’t be able to counter him, the outcome would be predictable.

Wang Zhan watched the Soul Beast for a while, feeling a bit sour in his heart.

He hadn’t expected the Soul Beast to persist by gritting its teeth till now; it seems his initial decision was correct. Without the Soul Beast’s help, how could they have left Elixir Valley?

"How about this, I’ll temporarily bring you into Jing City, so you can recuperate in there while I take Jing City back to the Sky Pavilion quickly, and it definitely won’t delay much time or anything!"

"Once encountering anything, I’ll hide Jing City in a safe place. You know how to exit from inside, you can walk out soon without worrying much."

Wang Zhan quickly suggested this as the best option.

If anyone must sacrifice, it would be him unconditionally shielding the group, not letting anyone else sacrifice.

Plus, Jing City is a divine weapon, naturally able to withstand Li Yuan Yi’s attacks.

As long as given some time, the Soul Beast surely has many ways to lead everyone out.

But the Sword Spirit nearby shook his head, firmly said: "That’s too risky, I can’t let you face Li Yuan Yi alone, you must leave together with us!"

"Why don’t we let the Soul Beast enter the Ninefold Thunder Sound Tower temporarily, let him regain some strength first, as during the fight with Li Yuan Yi, he’s the most seriously injured among us..."

The Fire Qilin nodded in agreement.

He and Wang Zhan have already gone through many life and death situations together, so how could he let Wang Zhan face this alone again at such a time?

After all, Wang Zhan’s strength is evident, and his trump card can only be used once. Although Wang Zhan still has those few black beads in his hand, having already used them on Li Yuan Yi, if they fight next time, Li Yuan Yi will surely be on guard.

Naturally, it would have no useful effect.

"Yes, I think the Sword Spirit makes sense. We two will stay by your side and let the others enter Jing City first. If anything happens, we can look out for each other."

This time, the Fire Qilin’s face showed no disdain, instead appearing even more determined.

Wang Zhan looked at the two beside him, full of emotion. Of course, he understood what the two around him were thinking, it was just that they didn’t want him to fall into a crisis again.

They are truly brothers who risk their lives together.

But the more it is like this, the more Wang Zhan feels touched in his heart.

After hesitating for a moment, he firmly spoke, "This time, just listen to me. You all must enter Jing City. Even if Li Yuan Yi catches up with us, even if we fight together, we are still not his match, so why sacrifice in vain?"

"It’s better to deal with the situation at hand. At least more of you might survive, and people of the Sky Pavilion won’t live in difficult times, and with you all protecting, I also won’t have to worry too much."

"Previously, I always listened to your arrangements, and whenever anything happened, I stood behind you two, always relying on your protection to walk further on the Star War Battlefield."

"But after all, I am also a man. Let me bear this matter this time, and I have absolute confidence. The extremely violent Thunder Power contained in that bead, even though I am good at controlling thunder, cannot withstand it for too long. Presumably, Li Yuan Yi is the same. His situation should be worse than we imagined, he definitely can’t hold on for long!"

"Next, I will have a life and death chase with him, I want to see whose endurance is stronger, mine or his."

The Fire Qilin and the Sword Spirit exchanged a glance, then the Sword Spirit shook his head and laughed, "You make it sound so easy, but have you considered, if Li Yuan Yi really catches up to you, even if Jing City is hidden in a secret place, it will become a land without a master if you die, and no one can continue to control Jing City!"

"I think you understand the horror within Jing City; even among us, without absolute luck, none can become its master. The final result would be the same as those before, forever staying in Jun City, with no chance of leaving."

The Fire Qilin and the Spirit Beast nodded in agreement.

The Sword Spirit’s point indeed made some sense.

Letting them enter Jing City would be more risky.

It’s better to stay with Wang Zhan, so even if they meet Li Yuan Yi, they can give it a full fight.

Wang Zhan slightly frowned, having not considered this aspect just now, only wanting to look after those around him. But the Sword Spirit’s words also made sense, as any Genius Earth Treasures, once without a master, would become ownerless again.

After hesitating for a moment, Wang Zhan noticed a small approaching silhouette behind them, quickly coming their way.

And the speed was incredibly fast.

Who else could it be but Li Yuan Yi?

It seems Li Yuan Yi definitely doesn’t intend to let this go easily. This is really troublesome.

Seeing the others’ determination, Wang Zhan quickly took out some elixirs from his pocket and handed them to those around him, saying, "Since it’s like this, you all take these elixirs. They will help you recover some strength temporarily, as there are still some tough battles ahead, and you must be extremely cautious!"

The group looked at each other, having no doubt about Wang Zhan, and nodded.

After consuming the elixirs, their speed increased, quickly widening the distance with Li Yuan Yi behind them.

But Wang Zhan knew, relying on these alone was still not enough.

They must reach back to the Sky Pavilion as soon as possible, but the Elixir Valley is far from the Sky Pavilion. Even without any hindrance, and pushing their speed to the limit, it still requires significant time.

This is indeed troubling.

But they have no choice but to proceed!

"The road of escape begins now!"
