Li Yan saw the shape of Gong Chenying's mouth. After giving her a deep look, he stomped down hard without the slightest hesitation, creating a heaven-shattering sonic boom in the void as his figure vanished without a trace.
A smile appeared on Gong Chenying's face. She knew Li Yan's movement skill was formidable; he should have a chance to escape. Her master, Hong Yin, was still busy dodging the flying swords and did not look at Gong Chenying.
With the clan's protective formation activated and seeing the Third Elder unleash a forbidden art, Gong Chenying, though anxious, couldn't send a voice transmission to remind Hong Yin.
However, once Li Yan fled, she was certain her master, Hong Yin, would follow. She too was powerless to fight any longer. The Tianli Clan would unleash their taboo shamanic art and fight the enemy to the bitter end.
Li Yan's eyes turned crimson. This was the most difficult battle he had fought since he began his path of cultivation. He had even directly used the Earthen Patch against his enemy, but he was still no match for this Spirit Transformation cultivator.
Especially seeing Gong Chenying on the brink of death, yet urging him to escape—this was a scene he would absolutely not allow himself to witness.
At this moment, the short-haired, soap-robed man was already poised to attack again. Li Yan's entire body erupted with the power of The Five Elements Return to Primordial Genesis , pushed to its absolute limit. His cultivation instantly soared once more, and he shot forward.
But he was not fleeing!
The moment he charged out, just as everyone heard the clap of thunder, they only saw a faint flash of silver light. No one could see clearly how Li Yan moved.
Just as the short-haired, soap-robed man's Daoist seal was about to fall again, he too heard the clap of thunder.
But before he could investigate, he was horrified to discover that the space beside him was acting abnormally again.
When he was startled, he found a figure had appeared a mere five feet from him. It was only at this moment that his Divine Sense registered it. The opponent was unbelievably fast, even surpassing the reaction speed of his Divine Sense .
The moment that figure appeared, the short-haired, soap-robed man couldn't help but shut his eyes, because that spot had instantly transformed into a ball of blindingly intense silver light.
The moment Li Yan appeared, a series of popping sounds echoed. Wounds like an infant's mouth burst open all over his body, and jets of blood shot into the sky.
The bones of his shoulders were starkly exposed. Due to the extreme speed, the large patches of lost flesh and blood had not yet had time to bleed, making the shoulder bones a glaring white.
A large section of white bone from his right knee had also pierced through the skin, jutting out like a sharp sword with a jagged, broken edge, revealing the marrow within...
This was the result of him pushing his Phoenix Soars to the Heavens to its absolute limit, breaking his current top speed. Even a body as formidable as his could no longer bear the load.
In an instant, he was five feet from the short-haired, soap-robed man. This was the closest he could get to his opponent. But in that single moment, Li Yan's body had become as tattered and broken as if it were full of holes.
As the short-haired, soap-robed man reeled in horror, Li Yan, shrouded in silver light, roared.
"You have no idea what it means to perish together! Take a look, if you please!"
From Li Yan's body, engulfed in silver light, two strange auras suddenly erupted. One aura seemed to want to stir the heavens and earth of this region. The short-haired, soap-robed man instantly sensed something was wrong.
At the same time, he once again felt the Five Elements rules around him descend into a chaotic mess. The Daoist seal he was about to unleash was instantly shattered, and he could no longer execute the attack.
What made him feel even more uneasy was that Li Yan, amidst the silver light and that strange aura, simultaneously raised a hand and slashed at the sky, creating a spatial rift several yards wide.
A black light instantly erupted from Li Yan's body. With the chaotic Five Elements rules around them, at a distance of five feet, the black light instantly struck the short-haired, soap-robed man.
Following that, the short-haired, soap-robed man felt his body tighten as a powerful tearing force yanked him away. His body instantly became illusory.
'This isn't an art, this is the power of spatial teleportation!'
This bizarre power was different from the one that had nearly sucked him into another void space before. That time, it was guided by Li Yan's Divine Sense , and he could resist the pull until it guided him into the channel.
But this time, it was true teleportation power—the Law of Space—that instantly descended upon him. Even a Spirit Transformation cultivator like the short-haired, soap-robed man could not resist the Law of Space. Otherwise, he would be able to traverse the void at will or interrupt teleportation formations.
Moreover, with the surrounding Five Elements rules in chaos, the short-haired, soap-robed man couldn't even borrow the power of heaven and earth. But in the next moment, his heart calmed.
His opponent had risked everything, scrambling the Five Elements rules here just to make it impossible for him to turn the tide.
Li Yan likely had some kind of teleportation talisman and wanted to teleport away with him. The opponent must have realized that he couldn't stay out for long.
Therefore, from the very beginning, he chose to fight back rather than submit.
'He actually has a multi-person teleportation talisman? But a teleportation talisman isn't a teleportation formation. At most, it's a few thousand li. The moment we stop, I'll cut you down!'
Life, time, and space were the three supreme laws. Under these laws, everyone was affected.
During teleportation, under the influence of the Law of Space, the short-haired, soap-robed man was also unable to attack. To attack, he would have to remove the power of the Law of Space that was bound to him.
First, he couldn't remove it at all; second, even if he could forcefully interrupt the teleportation, what awaited him would be the brutal shredding power of the Law of Space...
Just as this thought crossed the short-haired, soap-robed man's mind, Li Yan's body had already vanished from his original spot. The short-haired, soap-robed man's illusory form was also sucked into the spatial crack in a flash of light.
Meanwhile, Gong Chenying and the others in the great formation witnessed a scene they would never forget for the rest of their lives.
Just as the flying swords that had previously struck the sect-protecting grand formation rose once again, their blades gleaming with a radiance even more dazzling than before, like the great ghost-headed sabers of executioners held high.
Gong Shanhe and the others also channeled their magical power frantically. The Third Elder's long hair danced in the wind, her beautiful eyes had turned a shade of azure, and her hands were being lifted with great effort...
The people of the Tianli Clan did not fear death, and they certainly would not let someone attack their home without fighting back. This was also why the Tianli Clan was called barbarians by others.
swiftly fled into the distance. It was Wan Qingshe. He too had been stunned just now.
His master had actually entered the spatial crack at the same time as Li Yan. He couldn't figure out why his master would go with his opponent. Then... then what about him?
He had truly witnessed the might of the Tianli Clan , who dared to clash head-on with a Spirit Transformation cultivator. Feeling a surge of anxiety, he immediately transformed into a streak of light and fled.
"Trying to run? You'll die right here!"
The Great Elder's face was ashen-white, but he had already removed his armor. Seeing his opponent trying to escape, he forcefully gathered his magical power, and with a flash, he disappeared from his spot.
The next moment, Wan Qingshe was horrified to find a man with a deathly pale face in front of him. The Great Elder may not have been skilled in speed, but his cultivation realm was far superior to his.
Wan Qingshe shuddered violently, so scared that he immediately turned and fled in another direction.
"Forget about honor! Let's kill him together!"
Just as Wan Qingshe had flown a few hundred li, a towering figure appeared before him. It was Gong Shanhe. Amidst his great shout, the Third Elder's peerless figure also flashed into existence in another direction, her beautiful face frosted with cold.
Wan Qingshe's heart tightened. He could already sense powerful auras appearing in all other directions, and there were even a few Wind Beasts closing in...
At this moment, Gong Chenying was not here. She had torn open the void where Li Yan had disappeared and hastily entered.
In an endless darkness, her lifted, beautiful, and tragic face still bore the stains of blood.
Her Divine Sense spread out. Astral winds blew all around, and meteorites of all sizes drifted slowly in the distance.
Gong Chenying's crimson lips were tightly sealed. Her Divine Sense had not found any trace of Li Yan. Before, she hadn't even been able to see clearly how Li Yan had disappeared.
In her eyes and memory, the image of Li Yan's eyes suddenly turning crimson as she looked at him was still preserved, and then, everything had frozen at that moment...
"Whoosh! Whoosh!"
Two sounds of space tearing open briefly lit up the endless void before it returned to infinite darkness.
The figures of the Great Elder and Gong Shanhe also appeared not far away. At this moment, the auras of the two were fluctuating unstably, and they both looked towards Gong Chenying...
The short-haired, soap-robed man felt his vision blur, and then he saw a field of darkness. Without a second thought, the moment his Divine Sense cleared the surroundings, he was about to raise his palm and attack.
But at the same time, the Five Elements rules in the vicinity twisted into chaos again. The Daoist seal he had just formed immediately became unstable.
And in that brief moment, a powerful tearing force arose again, pulling him along. The short-haired, soap-robed man's vision blurred once more as the world spun rapidly...
"Brat... you dare..."
This time, the short-haired, soap-robed man was truly terrified. A teleportation talisman was not a teleportation formation. It was normal for it to teleport multiple people, and a single-person teleportation talisman was usually priceless.
Inscribing a talisman for one person versus more than one was on a completely different level; it represented a different understanding of the essence of spatial laws by the formation master.
Multi-person teleportation talismans were extremely rare in the world; the short-haired, soap-robed man himself had rarely seen them.
But what shocked him even more was that Li Yan was courting death. He actually dared to continue teleporting within the Chaotic Flow Space.
He could be sure that the teleportation talisman just used was definitely not a directional one, but a random long-distance teleportation. As for where it would lead, Li Yan himself surely did not know.
But it was precisely because of this that the short-haired, soap-robed man became afraid. If they were suddenly teleported into a black hole or some unknown perilous land, what did it matter if he was a Spirit Transformation cultivator? He would perish all the same.
Only now did he recall the meaning behind Li Yan's earlier words.
"You have no idea what it means to perish together..."
He was already scared out of his wits. Li Yan was too close to him, knew a strange method to disrupt the Five Elements, and was so reckless!
The scenery before the short-haired, soap-robed man's eyes shifted in a kaleidoscope of light and color once again. His Divine Sense cleared, and he saw his surroundings again. This time he was prepared, and he threw a palm strike with gathered force.
But if he was prepared, Li Yan was even more prepared. The short-haired, soap-robed man's body tensed, and his vision distorted and flew past him again. The force of his palm strike was instantly redirected by another power...
"He has another teleportation talisman!"
This time, Li Yan had activated the next teleportation without even waiting for the previous one to fully end. The power of the last teleportation had not yet dissipated, and there were still residual ripples of spatial laws in the surroundings.
Li Yan was even more calculating than him, leaving no gaps at all.
This time, the short-haired, soap-robed man was both shocked and enraged. He had never imagined that one day, he would encounter someone carrying so many teleportation talismans that could teleport multiple people at once.
And what's more, the other party was dragging him along, teleporting recklessly time and time again in a godforsaken place like the Chaotic Flow Space, without any pause, without giving the spatial laws time to dissipate.
At this moment, Li Yan's Sea of Consciousness was in such pain that he felt on the verge of madness. After repeatedly using the Five Elements Disarray Mantle on a Spirit Transformation cultivator, the backlash he suffered had severely damaged his Sea of Consciousness .
His consciousness had already become blurry. Now he didn't dare to pause for even a moment. Without being able to use the Five Elements Disarray Mantle , his only option was to keep dragging his opponent along!
