46: Rush all the way

Li Daoxuan: "Come out, I already know who you are. You are Ghost Taoist!"

"Heh heh heh~"

"You little fellow are quite clever. You almost walked into the trap I set for you!"

"However, it doesn't matter. Good thing I was well-prepared!"

Li Daoxuan said disdainfully: "You couldn't kill me last time. Are you sure you can kill me this time?"

Ghost Taoist had a look of disdain, then clapped his hands and said: "Come out, Fellow Daoists!"

Whoosh! Whoosh! Whoosh!

Three sounds of air being torn apart rang out, and Li Daoxuan was instantly surrounded from all sides. Moreover, the newcomers were all Nascent Soul Stage Cultivators. It seemed Li Daoxuan had fallen into a death trap.

"Last time, you were just lucky, boy. This old man didn't dare to fight all out, otherwise, you would have died long ago."

"This time, I invited a few Fellow Daoists over just to prevent you from escaping!"

"Heh heh heh~ Boy, just wait for death!"

Li Daoxuan cursed the old guy for being insidious and cunning. No wonder the old guy wasn't in a hurry to show himself. No wonder the old guy talked to him for so long. It turned out he was waiting to surround him.

Li Daoxuan, however, remained calm. Good thing he had just broken through to the Golden Core Late Stage, and good thing he had hidden his cultivation.

Otherwise, he would really be in big trouble.

Previously, Li Daoxuan, who was at the Golden Core Middle Stage, felt that he could survive under a Nascent Soul Stage Cultivator.

But after reaching the Golden Core Realm Late Stage, Li Daoxuan felt that even under the siege of four Nascent Soul Stage Cultivators, escaping should not be a problem.

"Ghost Taoist, you don't actually think that inviting a few small pieces of trash can take my life, do you?"

"Waaah! Boy, how dare you speak like that?"

"You're courting death!"

"Boy, do you know who this old man is? How dare you boast so shamelessly..."

Li Daoxuan said disdainfully: "Don't tell me who you are, and I don't want to know who you are. You're not worthy!"

"......"

Li Daoxuan could tell at a glance that these three were not good people, mainly because they looked like bad guys.

Besides Ghost Taoist, the other three were a Taoist priest, a Lecherous Monk, and the last one was even a cripple.

"Why are you still talking nonsense with him? Kill him!"

Li Daoxuan spoke lightly of these four, but in his heart, he dared not relax at all.

Strictly speaking, this was his first time fighting Nascent Soul Cultivators, and it was four at once. He had to take it seriously. If he couldn't win, he would just run away.

Ghost Taoist was the first to lose patience and directly attacked, his moves incredibly vicious.

"'Nether Ghost Hand' First Form, Appearing and Disappearing Like a Ghost!"

Ghost claws filled the sky, directly grabbing at Li Daoxuan's vital points. Li Daoxuan couldn't distinguish which were real and which were fake for a moment.

However, that wasn't important. Li Daoxuan waved his sleeve, and four Flying Swords directly surrounded him.

Clang~ Clang~ Ding~ Dong~

The four Flying Swords rotated rapidly, blocking all the ghost claws.

Li Daoxuan's four Flying Swords were not ordinary Flying Swords. They were all top-grade second-tier, and most importantly, they came from the same source and could form a sword array to defend against enemies.

"What are you three still waiting for?"

"Don't you want the treasures? This kid has a lot of good stuff on him!" Ghost Taoist wasn't stupid. He didn't want to fight Li Daoxuan to a draw, allowing others to benefit.

However, Li Daoxuan's strength also secretly startled Ghost Taoist.

This kid actually easily blocked his attack.

Golden Core Middle Stage fighting Nascent Soul Early Stage, can you believe it?

This further strengthened Ghost Taoist's resolve to definitely nip Li Daoxuan in the bud.

"Kill!"

The other three also stopped watching the show and directly attacked Li Daoxuan. A whisk, a Zen staff, and an iron staff simultaneously assailed Li Daoxuan.

"Sword Array, Rise!"

Clang!

Bang~

With four people attacking simultaneously, even with the sword array protecting Li Daoxuan, he almost spat blood. The sword array was on the verge of collapsing.

No choice! The disparity in strength was there; this was a difference of one major Realm.

Li Daoxuan fought while secretly estimating the strength of these few people.

Li Daoxuan felt that if he fully unleashed his power and then caught them off guard to defeat them one by one, he might still be able to kill one or two.

"Boy, how about it? Just obediently accept death and I'll give you a quick end!"

"You can't escape!"

"You can block one of our attacks, but how long can you last?"

Damn it! Psychological warfare?

Li Daoxuan secretly cursed them as old foxes, but their idea was good, just applied to the wrong target.

Li Daoxuan was still thinking about how to trick them to their deaths!

One against four, the situation was very unfavorable for Li Daoxuan. These four old ghosts clearly weren't using their full strength, and Li Daoxuan only had the power to parry.

Li Daoxuan gritted his teeth, preparing for a big move, to take down as many as he could.

As the battle progressed, Li Daoxuan discovered that these four people were not a solid unit. They were mutually suspicious and secretly conserved their strength.

Especially that crippled old man, who should be the weakest among the four.

This could open a gap, and then he could run!

"Four old ghosts, you're nothing special!"

"Hmph! Still talking tough!"

Li Daoxuan suddenly moved. Four swords blocked the Yao Dao and the Lecherous Monk. He took a palm from Ghost Taoist directly on his back, but this palm struck the Tongtian Pagoda and caused no damage.

Now! Li Daoxuan's Flying Sword under his feet shot directly at the crippled old man, and at this instant, Li Daoxuan unleashed his Golden Core Late Stage strength, a full-power strike.

"Pfft!"

Caught off guard, the crippled old man was ambushed by Li Daoxuan and directly spat out a mouthful of old blood.

"Bastard! This kid was hiding his strength!"

The four-person encirclement and blockade were directly broken open by Li Daoxuan.

Li Daoxuan didn't look back, soaring at full speed towards the Dark Forest.

"Chase!"

"What are you standing there for?"

Ghost Taoist's desire to kill Li Daoxuan was the strongest, and he immediately gave chase.

Li Daoxuan breathed a sigh of relief. It would be easy to shake off the four of them. The Qing Yuan Swordplay had already been cultivated to the Major Achievement Realm. At full speed with sword flight, those four probably wouldn't even catch his shadow.

However, Li Daoxuan was not reconciled!

These few annoying flies and rats were always bothering him. He had to swat them dead, and this way, he could also resolve the Xiao Family Sisters' crisis.

"That kid wants to enter the Dark Forest! Quick, stop him!"

The four also realized something was wrong and wanted to burst into extreme speed to stop Li Daoxuan.

Li Daoxuan turned back and taunted: "If you four old ghosts aren't afraid of death, then follow me!"

"Waaah~ Boy, you have guts, don't run!"

The Dark Forest was not only vast but also fraught with danger. Not to mention the various perilous areas, just the various Yao Beasts and venomous insects inside were enough to take one's life.

"This kid is simply a madman!"

Was Li Daoxuan really crazy?

Definitely not. Li Daoxuan wouldn't easily delve deep into the Dark Forest; the outer perimeter was enough.

Most importantly, Li Daoxuan had the Tongtian Pagoda. If he encountered a great crisis, he could directly enter the Tongtian Pagoda and then have the Tongtian Pagoda escape into the Void Realm.

That's right, this was also a major use Li Daoxuan discovered while studying the Tongtian Pagoda.
