Seeing how fierce Xiao Li was, both parties slowly backed away in fear, especially Lieutenant Shen Bu, who was fleeing in every direction. When Lieutenant Shen Bu saw this, she immediately raised her flag and reorganized the military formation. At the same time, she rode towards Xiao Li, intending to personally go on stage and kill him.
Seeing that his anger had flared even more, Xiao Li dashed forward to meet it. He was like a leopard as he pounced towards Lieutenant Shen Bu. Ensign Shen Bu raised the long spear in his hand, and like a furious dragon about to set out to sea, he shot out with his spear, wanting to kill his opponent. Suddenly, his right hand reached out and grabbed the spear shaft, but his feet lashed out towards Lieutenant Shen Bu's body like whips. Surprisingly, he changed from the leopard form into a snake form, and his feet trembled with a buzzing sound.
When Lieutenant Shen Bu saw this, she knew how powerful it was. She immediately jumped off her horse to dodge the kick. The long spear in her hand shook and twisted like a mud fish. Xiao Li actually couldn't grab it steadily enough to let it slip away. However, he did not fall from the sky. Taking a deep breath, his chest and abdomen swelled up. He raised his arms several feet and circled in the air. Then, he pointed his hundreds of butterflies at Lieutenant Shen Bu.
The crystal-like butterfly flew towards Lieutenant Shen Bu, but he was not enchanted by its beauty. With a shake of his long spear, he thrust it straight towards the center of the cluster of flowers. As soon as the long spear entered the ball of butterflies, a crackling sound could be heard. Countless bits of wood and several spear tips flew out from the ball of butterflies. Ensign Shen Bu only felt a bone-piercing cold wind blowing towards him, causing his heart to tremble. He immediately threw out the remaining half of the spear shaft in his hand, and with a flash, he escaped from the attack. His back was still swept by a few butterflies, as if they had cut him with a knife, creating several bloody grooves.
After Lieutenant Shen Bu escaped from the group of butterflies, she ran into the battle formation without looking back. Then, she heard his terrified voice, ”It's you! So it's you! So it's you! ” He actually said two of them turned out to be you. Xiao Li once again returned to the Soul Devouring Smoke. This caused Xiao Li to feel as if he had just experienced a dream. He hurriedly looked behind him and saw that the other army had also disappeared, causing Xiao Li to be even more bewildered.
He had just killed a lot of people, but now he was back in the smoke. What was going on? Xiao Li couldn't understand it no matter how hard he thought. At this moment, Old Zhao's voice sounded, ”Haha, Lieutenant Shen Bu, I didn't expect you to be able to cast spells. This really shocked me. It turned out that Old Zhao and Shen Bu Wei had both used their Dao arts to condense the surrounding smoke into a million elite soldiers for their own use. They wanted to use their own Dao arts to determine life and death, but they didn't expect Xiao Li to be in their midst. Anger burned within Xiao Li's heart when he saw that Scholar Shen Bu was actually stimulating the potential of the cultivation technique he had cultivated for many years. His cultivation was even higher and he had actually broken through the opponent's technique in one fell swoop.
”Don't be too happy yet. You've been wanting to kill this Brother Mute all this time. I'm sure he won't let you go,” Lieutenant Shen Bu said with a groan. His voice sounded weak. It turned out that Daoist magic was specialized in cultivating the primordial spirit and could also be said to be a type of spiritual force. Although they used the power of their primordial spirit to cast spells, if it was broken by someone, their own spiritual force would be greatly damaged and it would take a very long time to recover. Moreover, they would have to borrow the power of external objects to use this spell, so in normal situations, no one would dare to use it lightly. When it came to Tao techniques, the orthodox sects' Tao techniques were well-known in the martial arts world. Although people in the martial arts world used martial arts to determine victory or defeat, many people were not ashamed of the orthodox sects' Tao techniques and called them heretical. In fact, everyone was very afraid of these strange things because martial arts could not be prevented or broken.
It was just like how Xiao Li and the others were currently within the sect's Soul Devouring Smoke. All of their martial arts seemed rather weak here, because it was difficult for them to pinpoint the opponent's position, and it was also very difficult for them to kill each other. That was why Shen Bu had decided to use his Tao technique to kill the opponent.
As for why Xiao Li was able to break apart Lieutenant Shen Bu's Dao Arts, it could be said that it was due to his luck. If it was an ordinary person facing the onslaught of a million strong army, they would have long been scared stiff and could only allow themselves to be crushed by Captain Shen Bu, but Xiao Li's anger towards Lieutenant Shen Bu had ignited his spirit and caused his spirit to be unparalleled. At the same time, under the pressure of death and the stimulation of the 'Soul Devouring Smoke', his technique actually strangely broke through to a new realm.
However, he didn't know that this was a type of confidence in himself, a type of confidence in his own strength, a type of confidence that only experts have. At this moment, Xiao Li felt that as long as he walked on the road, there would be a path of prosperity in front of him. This self-confidence from the bottom of his heart completely defeated and concealed the cowardly side of Xiao Li's heart. At this moment, he was like an unsheathed sword with an unfathomably sharp edge.
The conviction in Xiao Li's heart caused his usual wariness to lessen significantly, so at this moment, Xiao Li took a deep breath. The Soul Devouring Smoke that he inhaled did not make him feel the slightest bit of difference, and this made Xiao Li even more confident.
Xiao Li pointed in the direction of Lieutenant Shen Bu's voice. He wanted to capture the other party first and interrogate them about Xiao Ying Ying's whereabouts. Although his temperament had changed, it had changed from self-confidence to arrogance, so he was able to grasp the direction and strategy of his actions more accurately.
Xiao Li's actions immediately attracted the attention of both sides. Old Zhao said, ”Haha, it seems like Brother Mute and Brother Shen's hatred is even deeper. I am certain that you have hit them!”
”So what?” Lieutenant Shen Bu coldly snorted.
Old Zhao said, ”Maybe we should add insult to injury! Brother Gan, what should we do? ”
Gan Chi said hatefully, ”That's exactly how it should be!” He hated Lieutenant Shen Bu.
Old Zhao said, ”Good, Brother Mute. We can settle our grudges after we leave this place. Now, let's work together to break out of the pavilion.” Actually, both sides were able to sense Xiao Li's change, especially Old Zhao, who knew that Xiao Li had always been wary of the Soul Devouring Smoke and had nearly lost his consciousness. However, he suddenly experienced a change and headed straight for Lieutenant Shen Bu. Although he didn't know what ability Xiao Li had to break the 'Soul Devouring Smoke', he had seen the ruthlessness with which Xiao Li broke Lieutenant Shen Bu's technique, so he knew that it wasn't appropriate for them to be enemies now. Therefore, he tried his best to rope Xiao Li in, hoping that they would work together to charge out of the perilous area of the pavilion.
