48: Three kills, take them away directly
Ghost Taoist was also a bit embarrassed; Li Daoxuan had completely confused him.
Li Daoxuan was also like, "What the heck!"
Forbidden Flight Formation!??
Ghost Taoist still had such a good item in his possession? Why didn't he take it out earlier? If he had, would this kid still be so reckless?
"Ahem! Don't mind these details. Look, that kid can't fly anymore, right? He's at our mercy, right?"
"Hahaha... This time, let this old monk make a move. This kid has tender skin..."
Li Daoxuan exclaimed, "Good heavens!" This not only had flight prohibition but also super gravity. The only good news was that this Formation didn't differentiate between friend and foe.
However, Li Daoxuan wasn't flustered. At least his spiritual Qi could still be mobilized, and he had specially cultivated a Body Refining Cultivation Technique. His Physical Body was also very strong. As for exactly how strong, he wasn't sure; he'd only know after a fight.
Li Daoxuan didn't run anymore but leisurely waited for the three to arrive.
"Kid, fly! You fly for me!"
"Weren't you quite capable of flying!"
Ghost Taoist couldn't help but rant a few words, wanting to relieve the suppression and anger in his heart.
Previously, when Li Daoxuan fought, he would always fly on his sword, fighting in the air using his magical power.
However, during his training in the Tongtian Pagoda, it was basically all close-quarters combat, fist to flesh.
This time, it seemed a close-quarters battle was unavoidable. Li Daoxuan decided to give them another surprise.
"If I wanted to run, could you catch me?"
"Also, my strongest skill isn't running away!"
Lecherous Monk was still a chatterbox. Li Daoxuan's words piqued his curiosity: "What is it?"
"My body is very hard! My whole body is hard!"
"Hahaha.... I think the hardest part is your mouth!"
Ghost Taoist said impatiently, "Why are you still wasting words with him? Let's all attack and kill him!"
Li Daoxuan directly met them head-on, fearless.
Ghost Taoist felt victory was assured. His "Netherworld Ghost Hand" was not only good at sneak attacks and long-range combat but even better at close-quarters Physical Body combat.
Li Daoxuan held two swords and directly slashed at the two. Compared to improving his cultivation Realm, Li Daoxuan preferred Body Refining.
Because with Body Refining, as long as resources were sufficient, and as long as it didn't kill him, he would train to the death. The Physical Body strength would increase rapidly, and he could genuinely feel it.
"Bang bang!" The swords struck the monk's staff and the Taoist's whisk.
Li Daoxuan loosened his right hand, clenched it into a fist, and collided with Ghost Taoist's Netherworld Ghost Hand.
"Crack!"
"Ow! My hand!"
Ghost Taoist exclaimed, "Everyone be careful, this kid's Physical Body is very strong. Absolutely do not clash with him head-on."
Li Daoxuan teased, "Am I not very hard!"
The four entangled, Ghost Taoist and the others couldn't attack from a distance, fearing they might hurt their allies. Li Daoxuan, however, had no such concerns. He directly chose one person to get close to and then suppressed him.
The three became more and more alarmed as they fought. What did this kid eat to grow up? His Physical Body was comparable to a Yao Beast of the same Realm, no! Even more terrifying than a Yao Beast!
Ghost Taoist's heart turned cold. This Forbidden Flight Formation seemed to have helped Li Daoxuan.
"Old Ghost, this won't do! Just put away your Divine Ability!"
Ghost Taoist said helplessly, "I can't put it away! It will become ineffective if we hold on for a little longer."
"You old swindler!"
The three switched from offense to defense, holding on desperately. Li Daoxuan could indeed suppress them, but taking their lives would be difficult for a while.
It seemed he still needed external help.
At this moment, Ghost Taoist and the other two retreated simultaneously, then soared into the air.
"Kid, we underestimated you, but in the end, you will still die!"
The four erupted into a great battle again. This time, the battlefield was sometimes in the air, sometimes in the forest, startling countless flying birds and walking beasts.
Li Daoxuan fought and retreated, continuously moving the battlefield closer to the Blue Scaled Eagle's nest. Most of Li Daoxuan's attention was focused on the Blue Scaled Eagle that could appear at any moment.
Li Daoxuan pretended to be struggling, occasionally even spitting out a mouthful of blood, which made the three feel very satisfied and a bit overconfident for a moment.
An adult Blue Scaled Eagle is a third-tier Yao Beast, with strength comparable to a Nascent Soul Cultivator.
"Caw~ Caw~ Caw~" A shrill eagle cry sounded. A pair of colossal claws, gleaming with cold light, extended from the dense forest below, directly grabbing towards the Taoist and Lecherous Monk. At the same time, a huge beak opened and attacked Li Daoxuan.
Who told Li Daoxuan to be the most active?
But Li Daoxuan was already prepared. The moment the eagle cry sounded, Li Daoxuan drilled into the Tongtian Pagoda.
"Damn it!"
"Third-tier high-grade Yao Beast, Blue Scaled Eagle!"
"It's over!"
The Taoist and Lecherous Monk had no time to react and were directly snatched into the dense forest by a claw. Their shrill screams still echoed in the air.
Ghost Taoist broke out in a cold sweat, secretly calling himself lucky, and then desperately wanted to escape.
But his happiness lasted less than three seconds. The giant beak's first attack missed its target, but then it immediately turned and struck towards Ghost Taoist.
"Damn it! Li Daoxuan, you've screwed me over!"
"Even as a ghost, I won't let you off..."
When a Blue Scaled Eagle hunts, it targets a maximum of three at a time. It's done by grabbing with its feet and pinching with its mouth.
Logically speaking, Ghost Taoist still had a chance to escape.
But Li Daoxuan just disappeared, and then... he met a tragic end.
Below the giant beak, there was no longer any life.
And he was the most miserable, directly impaled by the giant beak, unable to run, and unable to die.
Inside the Tongtian Pagoda, looking at the disappearing figures of the three, Li Daoxuan still felt a bit regretful. Such good sandbags were hard to find!
Li Daoxuan didn't run immediately but waited quietly, then once again heard the three's shrill, horrific screams, as well as their curses directed at Li Daoxuan and Ghost Taoist.
Li Daoxuan secretly guessed: Could it be the mother eagle feeding her young? Why is it so intermittent? Wouldn't it be better to just swallow them whole?
The screams and wails continued for a long time. Li Daoxuan knew that all three were gone!
Only then did Li Daoxuan control the Tongtian Pagoda to move towards the outskirts of the Dark Forest. However, the Tongtian Pagoda suddenly paused, then continued flying outwards.
For a split second, Li Daoxuan felt as if some ancient Vicious Beast had set its eyes on him.
"What happened just now?"
"Scared me to death!"
"From now on, it's best not to come to the Dark Forest if possible. Isn't it better to have children and raise them at home?"
In the very center of the Dark Forest, a faint voice sounded: "An interesting little fellow! An interesting item!"
Then, it returned to silence, as if nothing had ever existed.
Li Daoxuan only breathed a sigh of relief after leaving the Dark Forest.
The process was dangerous, but the outcome was Perfection.
The only thing that made Li Daoxuan unhappy was that he didn't get any spoils of war; it was a battle fought in vain.
In the Cultivation world, strength is the most important. To live long, one must be decisive in killing.
Although Ghost Taoist was just a small character, it wasn't a good thing to always be targeted by him. He wasn't afraid himself, but his relatives couldn't withstand Ghost Taoist's schemes.
Go home! He missed home!
