Chapter 198 You Run, I Chase
A series of explosions rang out inside the villa.
Ding Yi stood on the wall and carefully observed the surroundings. He determined that the explosion was about 200 meters away. He guessed that Sun Tao and his group had been ambushed after entering the area.
Even so, Ding Yi still did not show himself, but continued to lie on the wall and keep an eye on the movements in the courtyard, while Sun Qiao'er, after landing, began to quickly explore the depths of the manor.
"Yin Yang Palace!?"
Not long after, a loud shout suddenly came from the depths of the courtyard, followed by two figures moving like lightning, one chasing and the other fleeing, quickly entering Ding Yi's line of sight.
The person who escaped was none other than Sun Qiao'er, while the person who pursued her was a Taoist priest with an angry expression.
The Taoist priest held a long sword in his hand, and the sword light shone in all directions. It actually transformed into a phantom of a dragon in the air and coiled around Sun Qiao'er in front of him.
This is the Taiyi Dividing Light Sword of the Seven Absolutes Palace. Once mastered, it can transform sword energy into physical form, making it incredibly powerful.
However, Ding Yi found it somewhat laughable that such a dazzling sword aura could come from the hand of a sorcerer.
At that moment, Sun Qiao'er suddenly turned around in mid-air, her body rising again in an anti-gravity manner, dodging the sword energy chasing from behind.
After landing, Sun Qiao'er led the Taoist priest around the courtyard, moving about. Although the Taoist priest was extremely fast, Sun Qiao'er was not slow either, and for a moment they were caught in a tense situation.
Ding Yi raised an eyebrow, thinking that it was about time. He then glanced at the quicksand map, and seeing that there was nothing unusual, he put it into his pocket. Then he flipped over and jumped into the courtyard.
Ding Yi's appearance instantly caught the attention of the angry-faced Taoist priest in the arena.
"Alright, alright!! Another one! You'll all stay today!!"
As the angry-faced Taoist spoke, the sword in his hand shone even brighter, even emitting a sharp cry in the air.
"Master, it's the Great Perfection of the Xuanji Realm!!"
When Sun Qiao'er saw Ding Yi, she also spoke up to remind him.
Ding Yi did not speak upon hearing this, but instead flipped his right hand, and a violently fluctuating airflow appeared in the empty space in his palm.
"Pretend to be a ghost!"
The angry-faced Taoist saw Ding Yi standing there without dodging or flinching, and let out a sinister laugh, but the next moment his expression froze, as if he couldn't believe it.
The sword light that emanated from the longsword vanished instantly within a ten-foot radius of Ding Yi, as if it had disappeared into thin air.
"What the hell!?"
The Taoist priest let out an incredulous exclamation, and Ding Yi's figure flashed, instantly appearing before the Taoist priest.
"You underestimate me!!"
Upon seeing this, the Taoist roared and was about to swing his sword down when he saw Ding Yi throw a punch.
A beam of white light burst forth from Ding Yi's fist, piercing through the descending sword and then passing straight through the Taoist's chest.
"Uh...uh..."
The Taoist looked at the long sword that was now only half intact, somewhat incredulous. Looking down, he saw a fist-sized hole in his chest.
"Senior brother!!"
The Taoist's expression turned sorrowful. After letting out a shout, he spat out a mouthful of blood and collapsed.
[You have killed the evil Taoist priest of the Seven Absolutes Palace. Your lifespan has increased by 42 years and 45 days.]
Ding Yi looked at the prompt in front of him, then slowly withdrew his fist.
This time, he only used the Returning Origin technique at a frequency of 800, and he minimized the range as much as possible, compressing the energy cluster to the size of a fist.
It was still a sell-out in seconds, something Ding Yi had anticipated.
The defensive cap for worshipping gods in the Xuanji Realm is estimated to be around 600, but Ding Yi increased the frequency by 200 just in case.
But Ding Yi was somewhat surprised by the compression aspect.
The more it is compressed, the greater the consumption of vital energy, which goes against Ding Yi's idea.
However, if the range is too large, the consumption of vital energy will not decrease, which means that there is an absolute balance between the size.
However, this balance point is very difficult to find, and Ding Yi has no clue what to do. He has only heard that some sects are good at compressing essence and energy and have compiled it into a secret technique. He doesn't know if he will have the opportunity to obtain it in the future.
"Indeed, only in life-or-death battles can I comprehend the changes in martial arts. This is the true meaning of combat!"
Ding Yi looked at the fallen Taoist's corpse and thought to himself.
Meanwhile, Sun Qiao'er was also shocked to see the Taoist priest killed by Ding Yi with a single punch.
She walked up to Ding Yi and said involuntarily:
"I never imagined that Master's cultivation has reached such a level. I think Master is probably even stronger than some of the elders in the palace who have reached the Lesser Completion stage of the Divine Palace."
Ding Yi didn't reply to Sun Qiao'er, but instead looked towards the depths of the manor, asking at the same time:
"When you went in just now, was he the only one inside?"
"Yes, sir."
Sun Qiao'er quickly replied.
"continue."
Ding Yi gave the order.
Sun Qiao'er accepted the order, leaped up, and rushed into the depths of the manor, while Ding Yi followed slowly behind, as if taking a stroll.
On the other side, the front yard.
Lin Chenjiu looked at the group of Wanxiang Sect disciples in front of her with a cold smile, stretched out her palm, and gently pushed the corpse stuck in her longsword away.
At his feet lay a large amount of black solids, which seemed to be the embers left after the talisman had burned out.
"The Yin-Yang Palace's exorcising talisman is quite powerful, but it's still too inexperienced to deal with me."
Lin Chenjiu licked the blood splattered on the back of her hand, and then her smile turned into anger:
"But you lackeys of the Yin-Yang Palace are doomed today!!"
After saying that, Lin Chenjiu let out a sharp, long howl. When Sun Tao and his group heard this cry, their faces immediately showed pain, but the corners of everyone's mouths actually began to turn up slightly.
"not good!"
Seeing this, Sun Tao immediately took out a tinderbox, lit the fire tube hanging at his waist, and threw it at Lin Chenjiu.
This fire tube was given to Sun Tao by Ding Yi before he set off. According to Ding Yi's instructions, it should not be used recklessly unless it was a matter of life and death.
"What is this stuff?"
When Lin Chenjiu saw what Sun Tao threw at her, her angry face turned into a smile. She then slashed at the fire tube with her sword, and a thick flame burst out on the spot with a loud bang.
Crimson flames shot into the sky like an angry dragon, completely engulfing Lin Chenjiu, while the aftershocks of the explosion sent the gang members flying several meters away with screams.
This violent tremor immediately caught Ding Yi's attention from a distance.
"Sun Tao and his team can't hold on any longer."
Ding Yi frowned, knowing that this was the vibration that could only be produced by the explosion of the fire tube.
Prior to this, Ding Yi had also considered upgrading some more advanced weapons to arm his subordinates.
However, missiles not only have an ridiculously long lifespan, but they also require a launcher and a skilled operator, so Ding Yi immediately abandoned the idea.
As for shoulder-mounted rocket launchers, they are quite suitable for individual soldiers. However, this thing is clearly out of step with this world. Once it appears, the Myriad Manifestations Sect will definitely be attacked by the entire world's worshippers and then sliced into pieces.
Therefore, one must either ensure the complete destruction of the opponent in one go, or one can only upgrade to simple firearms like fire tubes.
In this way, although the opponent may be confused at first glance, they are unlikely to have too many doubts, which can be considered a balance.
