Chapter 1263: Life Hanging by a Thread

Li Yuan Yi looked coldly at Wang Zhan, his fists clenched so tightly that they creaked.

He suddenly soared into the air, his entire demeanor dramatically heightened, and his own strength had reached its peak, deterring anyone from easily contending with him.

Wang Zhan stared at the man in front of him for a long moment and instinctively stepped back a few paces. Then, he took out those black beads from his bosom once more.

They didn’t need to confront Li Yuan Yi right now, as they were merely a step away from the Sky Pavilion. As long as they could return to the Sky Pavilion safely, what was there to worry about?

“Do you still want to use this thing to ambush me?”

“Last time you ambushed me because I underestimated the explosive power of this thing!”

“But this time I’ve made all the necessary preparations, so this thing can’t injure me in the slightest!”

Li Yuan Yi quickly raised his hand, and a massive light screen appeared in front of him, directly shielding him.

Obviously, if the beads tried to approach him, they would naturally be blocked by this light screen, posing no real threat to him.

He could see that these were probably Wang Zhan and his group’s final trump card, so he wasn’t worried. Wang Zhan and his team couldn’t stir up too great of a storm.

“Whether it’s a mule or not, we’ll just bring it out for a stroll!”

Wang Zhan spoke coldly, having already taken out all the beads in his hand.

He had previously acquired several beads inside the Ninefold Thunder Sound Tower, but these were all his trump cards, capable of saving his life in critical moments, hence his reluctance to use them lightly.

But since things had reached this point, he might lose his life here, so a few beads hardly mattered.

Moreover, with so many companions, he absolutely couldn’t let them down.

Wang Zhan swiftly threw the beads out, then looked at those around him. Even before Wang Zhan spoke, they understood his mind; perhaps this was the camaraderie between them!

Their figures transformed into streaks of light, rushing towards the direction of the Sky Pavilion with terrifying speed.

They were risking their lives, for any hesitation would plunge them into an irrevocable situation.

As they left, the sound of tremendous blasts echoed behind them, and Wang Zhan and his group had already entered the Sky Pavilion area.

In an instant, Li Yuan Yi emerged from a burst of thunder and lightning, fiercely shouting at Wang Zhan’s group: “I don’t care what you’re capable of in this lousy place, I won’t give you that chance!”

There were experts within the sea domain, and even Li Yuan Yi didn’t dare contend with them easily. If Wang Zhan’s team holed up in the sea domain, Li Yuan Yi couldn’t easily enter, ultimately resulting in a stalemate outside the sea domain.

But what he hadn’t anticipated was Wang Zhan departing from the sea domain unexpectedly. Although Li Yuan Yi hadn’t fully recovered, and remained injured, he didn’t regard Wang Zhan as a threat, and thus charged out immediately.

His ultimate aim was to eliminate Wang Zhan and his team, leaving them no path for survival.

In the blink of an eye, Li Yuan Yi lunged at Wang Zhan’s group again, quickly reaching Wang Zhan.

Wang Zhan couldn’t believe that Li Yuan Yi breached the barrier so quickly! Luckily, Wang Zhan had a backup plan, which was…

“Ten Thousand Lightning Formation!”

Wang Zhan suddenly shouted, seeing the formation envelop Li Yuan Yi, as bolts of lightning struck down, causing Li Yuan Yi some distress!

Despite this, Li Yuan Yi’s expression remained frightfully grim, his hands continuously waving, drawing upon the energy between heaven and earth.

Taking advantage of the moment, Wang Zhan shouted to those around him: “Don’t dawdle here, hurry and enter the Sky Pavilion. I’ve temporarily controlled him with the formation, but I won’t hold out for long. He’ll soon break through, and then we’ll be out of options!”

Direct confrontation with Li Yuan Yi would not bode well for Wang Zhan’s team.

The final outcome was clear.

The group comprehended the stakes, but couldn’t help admiring Wang Zhan. He devised a strategy, even in such dire moments, showing true ingenuity!

Utilizing the Ten Thousand Lightning Formation to pressure Li Yuan Yi enabled them to flee swiftly.

The group didn’t waste time, quickly returning to the Sky Pavilion. Their eyes swept across the crowd gathered at the main entrance. As Wang Zhan’s group entered, the eyes of those present fell upon them immediately.

They had heard the disturbances outside, prompting their immediate emergence to check the situation.

Xuan Yu, standing at the front, smiled and said, “I only know that the commotion outside must be your doing; after all, every time you return, it causes quite a noise. This time is probably the same!”

“But weren’t you supposed to be in the back mountain? How come suddenly there are so many people around you? And you even encountered a strong enemy?”

Xuan Yu glanced at Wang Zhan in confusion, pointing to Li Yuan Yi, who was trapped in the Ten Thousand Lightning Formation in the distance. Everyone could feel the intimidation brought by the Ten Thousand Lightning Formation, and clearly see where Li Yuan Yi’s strength lay, while Wang Zhan and the others were in a state of panic and fleeing. All of this was definitely related to Li Yuan Yi in front of them.

Wang Zhan didn’t have time to explain much to Xuan Yu. He simply waved his hand to the people around him and quickly said, “Everyone, don’t bother about too much now. The urgent task is to quickly handle the matter at hand.”

“This guy’s strength far exceeds our imagination. Even I and the people around me are not his opponents, so we must seal off the Sky Pavilion, and everyone should hide in it as much as possible. No matter what happens, do not come out from inside.”

Everyone exchanged glances, and their expressions became much more solemn.

Originally, when they contended with those Sect factions nearby, the pressure was much greater than now.

But at that time, even Wang Zhan was not so fearful, he was even unconcerned about everything.

However, now it seems that the strength of the man in front of them is clearly much stronger and indeed quite troublesome.

Wang Zhan spoke again, “Everyone, let’s not waste time any longer. Quickly do as I say, activate the formation immediately, and trap this guy outside!”

Xuan Yu quickly responded, already speeding toward the direction of the Great Hall.

Ever since Wang Zhan left, everything has been pressed on Xuan Yu’s shoulders, but luckily there’s the Hexagonal Golden Snake stationed here, so naturally, there’s no need to worry about anything. If they encounter enemies they can’t handle, they can leave everything to the Hexagonal Golden Snake to deal with.

The final result is naturally the same.

With a loud crash from the sky, they saw Li Yuan Yi had already escaped from the Ten Thousand Lightning Formation.

Although he looked even more battered, the ferocity in his gaze became increasingly intense, directly locking eyes on Wang Zhan, and then diving swiftly towards him, at a terrifying speed.

“Not good, I didn’t expect this guy to break through the Ten Thousand Lightning Formation in such a short time. It seems I really underestimated him before!”

“I don’t know if things are progressing smoothly on Xuan Yu’s side? Why hasn’t the Sky Pavilion been closed after all this time?”

Wang Zhan was now a bit worried.

He had completely exposed the Base to Li Yuan Yi, so they were essentially burning bridges.

If they can’t seal Li Yuan Yi off in a short time, and their strength doesn’t improve to a certain level, their situation will become unprecedentedly difficult, and many around them will die or be injured.

If that happens, he would truly become a sinner within the Sky Pavilion.

And as a thunderous sound echoed from the sky, a huge light screen was seen slowly covering the Sky Pavilion!

And Li Yuan Yi’s attack had already reached in front of Wang Zhan.

Boom!

Just as Wang Zhan and the others were preparing to act, the light screen had already blocked Li Yuan Yi outside the Sky Pavilion.

Although a loud crash was heard at the ear, Li Yuan Yi’s attack did not damage the light screen; it was evidently blocked.

Wang Zhan let out a sigh of relief, finally smiling in satisfaction, “I knew Xuan Yu was very reliable with his work, and our formation definitely can hold off Li Yuan Yi. It seems there are no issues with either, and we have now completely isolated Li Yuan Yi, so there’s no need to worry about anything in the future.”

Everyone nodded in agreement.

Especially Xu Changqiu and Wu Yanxu, when they saw Li Yuan Yi escape the Ten Thousand Lightning Formation just moments ago, their hearts almost leaped to their throats.

In Li Yuan Yi’s eyes, they were nothing short of traitors, so even if Li Yuan Yi spared Wang Zhan and the others, he would definitely not let them off easily.

The eventual result was naturally predictable.

“Li Yuan Yi, just stay outside by yourself for now.”

“But let me advise you, no matter what method you use, you cannot break through this formation, so it’s better to leave it to fate.”

“In the time to come, we will seize the opportunity to absorb the power of the miracle fruit, and you can only watch…”
