Chapter 1260 - 1258: Friend of an Old Acquaintance

Wang Zhan directly said a few words to the people around him, and then took the lead to go towards the distance.

Everyone pursued with determination.

In the following period of time, Li Yuan Yi had always refused to let go of Wang Zhan, and his speed was terrifyingly fast, clearly intent on a never-ending pursuit.

But Wang Zhan and his group were not impulsive people. Although running away is not exactly an honorable thing, for the sake of their lives, they had no choice but to do so now.

Wang Zhan’s group quickly reached the sea domain. He looked around at the situation, then spoke directly: "We have now reached the sea domain. If we can just have a little more time, we should be able to return to the Sky Pavilion!"

"The journey is less than a day’s time left. We must grit our teeth and persist, absolutely no one can fall behind!"

"How are you all doing? Your bodies shouldn’t have any issues, right?"

Wang Zhan looked at the people around him with concern.

After exchanging glances, they all nodded together.

After taking the elixir provided by Wang Zhan, their condition had indeed improved a lot.

Just as they were preparing to set off again, they saw a figure suddenly appear in front of them.

Li Yuan Yi looked coldly at the people in front of him, instantly clenching his fists, and even the calm sea surface began to have waves surging!

Wang Zhan never expected that Li Yuan Yi would catch up with them in such a short time.

"What’s going on? Isn’t this guy already seriously injured? How could his speed still be so fast? He’s already caught up with us?"

They had been running outside for several days, trying as much as possible to avoid Li Yuan Yi.

But Li Yuan Yi, in such a short time, had already reached their side, which was truly shocking.

Since Li Yuan Yi had appeared, Wang Zhan and the others had no choice but to confront him.

"Alright, you guys leave first. Anyway, we’re not far from the Sky Pavilion. After I deal with this guy, I’ll catch up with you as soon as possible. Even if I’m not his match, I have a way to get away!"

The Soul Calming Beast spoke up directly.

Among the people present, only his strength was the most formidable, so he had to step forward at this moment.

Wang Zhan quickly blocked him and hurriedly said: "You enter Jing City first, then I’ll let you into the sea domain. Once inside, quickly leave Jing City and head to the Dragon Clan to seek their help!"

Wang Zhan quickly expressed this as the best solution currently.

In the sea domain, they still had friends, which were the members of the Dragon Clan.

Although there had been some unpleasant disagreements with the Dragon Clan before, Wang Zhan, as the successor of the Azure Dragon Venerable, and once a possessor of Poseidon’s Trident, was akin to a god-like presence on the sea domain. Surely, the Dragon Clan members would give him some face and take care of his friends.

After exchanging glances, the Fire Qilin was the first to speak: "What about you? You should know that you are not this guy’s match. Continuing to waste time here will only worsen your situation!"

"Moreover, even if the Soul Calming Beast has a way to escape from him, you do not!"

This was indeed the truth. After all, the difference in strength between the Soul Calming Beast and Wang Zhan was vast. Although both had the power of the miracle fruit within them, the differences were significant.

Wang Zhan, however, shook his head and said to himself: "Don’t worry about me, I have many trump cards to save my life. Just follow my lead this time. You all enter Jing City now, and if you’re not ready to leave, I will forcefully pull you in!"

Jing City is regarded as a divine weapon and sharp tool in Heaven and Earth, with a renowned reputation on the Star War Battlefield.

Although Wang Zhan’s strength was not outstanding and couldn’t rival the people in front of him, they would at least not attack him, which gave him an opportunity to use Jing City to trap everyone inside.

After exchanging glances, everyone nodded, for now, they could only follow Wang Zhan’s intentions.

Although it’s unclear what will happen next, everything could only rely on Wang Zhan now.

Seeing that everyone had agreed, Wang Zhan quickly took out Jing City, and immediately enveloped everyone within it.

Meanwhile, Li Yuan Yi on the side was already impatient. Although he watched everyone disappear in front of him, he did not care, as his eyes were always on Wang Zhan.

He had only one target in his eyes, and that was Wang Zhan.

As long as he could quickly deal with Wang Zhan, everything else was secondary. After all, Wang Zhan had indeed crossed his bottom line, previously causing himself to lose both eggs and chick!

Even couldn’t obtain any miracle fruit.

One should know, when the Soul Calming Beast first appeared inside Elixir Valley, although it deceived everyone, it could never escape his eyes.

The reason he didn’t attack the Soul Calming Beast was merely because he didn’t want to startle the snake, and he wanted to obtain the miracle fruit as soon as possible.

But unexpectedly, a Cheng Yaojin appeared midway, and Wang Zhan actually stepped in to disrupt, now further unsettling all his plans.

"Kid, you are clearly the weakest among them, and yet you want to play the hero now? Since you want to die, I’ll give you this chance, let you see just how ridiculous your actions are, and also let you understand the consequences of offending me!"

After Li Yuan Yi coldly said these two sentences, he saw that behind him, several giant water snakes had already appeared, swiftly heading towards Wang Zhan.

In an instant, they had already landed on Wang Zhan!

And Wang Zhan, even without any strength in front of Li Yuan Yi’s hands, only felt a massive blow to his chest, and he was already heavily smashed onto the sea level!

Besides, Li Yuan Yi looked full of disdain, clearly not intending to let Wang Zhan go just like that.

He again rose into the air and with his lips moving twice, seemingly chanting some incantation, the sea domain’s surface shook!

In an instant, a transparent longsword made of seawater appeared in his hand, and that longsword fell directly towards Wang Zhan’s forehead.

He was clearly intending to kill Wang Zhan with a single strike.

In the earlier confrontation, Wang Zhan even already had no strength left, couldn’t even hold the Absolute Heaven’s Sword, how could he be a match for the man before him?

Seeing that the transparent longsword was about to pierce his forehead, Wang Zhan slowly closed his eyes, seemingly unable to escape this fate this time...

All along, Wang Zhan has always been considered as somewhat of a favored existence, though once driven into chaos like a dog in distress, he could always somehow navigate through the crises.

Plus, he previously also encountered experts stronger than himself, but he had plenty of people around him, and the gap in strength was not that vast, Wang Zhan could still parley with the opponent.

But this time was vastly different, Li Yuan Yi’s strength is laid bare, and their gap is too significant.

The trump cards in Wang Zhan’s hand were worthless in Li Yuan Yi’s eyes, how could he possibly contend with him?

Perhaps this is his fate.

As Wang Zhan was about to be slain by Li Yuan Yi, a loud sound came from the calm sea level again, and a figure suddenly appeared before Wang Zhan, quickly raising a hand!

Wang Zhan hadn’t even had time to react, only feeling himself being enveloped in a mysterious radiance!

Upon careful inspection, he found that surrounding him was a cluster of transparent water droplets!

And when Wang Zhan turned around, he saw an aged man standing behind him, obviously the person who had helped him.

Wang Zhan quickly turned back, full of gratitude, he said, "Thank you, senior, for the rescue."

"No need to be polite, you are the candidate chosen by the Azure Dragon Venerable, I naturally won’t let you die in vain at the hands of others. If this were happening elsewhere, I might not have been able to intervene, but since this is the sea domain, I’ve long sensed the Azure Dragon aura on you, and how could I watch others mercilessly attack you?"

Wang Zhan was momentarily stunned, staring at the man speaking for a long time, but had no impression at all.

He could be completely certain that he had never seen the man before him.

Yet, he could hear from his words that the man not only was linked to the Azure Dragon Venerable but likely came from the Dragon Clan.

It seemed that abruptly changing his route to the sea domain this time was perhaps Heaven’s help for him.

Meanwhile, Li Yuan Yi, glaring at the man standing behind Wang Zhan for a long instance, then coldly said, "Your strength is quite considerable, at least among the experts I’ve encountered, you still remain at the top tier."

"However, you should be aware of where my strength lies, the gap between us isn’t very big, so I advise you to think it through. This guy has touched my bottom line, no matter the circumstances, I won’t let him easily get away today!"

"If you plan to intervene, that means going against me, even if it costs my entire lifetime cultivation, I will ensure you regret it, so I hope you ponder carefully, and don’t do something you will regret and find troubling!"

Brazenly threatening.

Might work for others.

But the man didn’t seem to regard Li Yuan Yi at all, while pointing at Wang Zhan, he said, "An old friend’s comrade, how could I stand by and do nothing?"
