Chapter 87 Preparing to Escape

These days, there really is no shortage of people seeking death! Shen Yichuan thought dimly.

After the old man at the peak of the Martial Emperor level finished shouting, he saw that the two juniors on the isolated island actually ignored him. Suddenly, the old man at the peak of the Martial Emperor level was furious. He had intended to take action anyway, and naturally he did so in anger at this time!

Shen Yichuan really admired the old man's courage.

He was only at the peak of the Martial Emperor. Both he and Qi Xiuyuan had the power to kill a peak Martial Emperor before, not to mention the huge amount of energy they had absorbed and devoured on the lower level! Therefore, this peak Martial Emperor...wasn't really that impressive!

However, before Shen Yichuan could take action, Qi Xiuyuan, who was in a state of enlightenment, seemed to sense the crisis. His sword energy was no longer directed at the rain of arrows, but directly at the peak Martial Emperor in the sky.

When the old man's attack fell, Qi Xiuyuan also swung a sword towards him.

"That guy is really looking for death!"

"What a fool who doesn't know his own limitations. That person is at the peak of the Martial Emperor, and he, a mere peak Martial Honor, actually used sword energy to counter him. Let's see how he dies later."

The crowd was mostly gloating, wishing the peak Martial Emperor elder could kill the two on the island directly, allowing them to descend to the island themselves. Flying in the sky constantly was also very exhausting, especially since they sensed something was amiss with the aura and space here. The last hour had consumed far more energy than an hour of flying outside.

Therefore, they are now eager to take a break.

However, these people had beautiful thoughts, but then a scene that stunned them appeared.

When Qi Xiuyuan's sword energy collided with the palm of the old man at the peak of Martial Emperor, the sword energy did not dissipate, but the power of the palm dissipated instead. That would have been fine, but the sword rushed straight towards the old man with a devastating force after breaking the power of the palm wind. The speed was astonishingly fast.

It was so fast...that Shen Yichuan was amazed.

"Ah!" The old man screamed miserably. The sword actually pierced his heart directly.

The onlookers stared with wide eyes and felt a chill in their spine. What on earth was going on? Why, why was this happening?

"That person... isn't that person at the peak of Martial Honor? He, he's hiding his cultivation!"

"He actually severely injured a peak Martial Emperor with a single sword strike. Then, then we..."

"No, he's not seriously injured. There's something strange about that sword energy! Look! The body of that peak Martial Emperor senior is dissipating!"

Everyone suddenly looked in the direction of the old man at the peak of Martial Emperor level, and sure enough, the other party's body was actually dissipating!

"No! No!" The old man roared in despair. He kept pouring medicine into his mouth, even taking out the spiritual medicine he had kept for years, never willing to take out, just to stop the speed of his body collapsing. But, he failed, failed! His body continued to collapse, and even his soul was collapsing with it. This was the most despairing thing.

If it was just the collapse of the body, then at most he could just take over another body, and he would always have a chance to continue living. However, if the soul collapsed, that would be true death!

That's why this old man at the peak of Martial Emperor is so desperate.

The others couldn't understand why the old man was like this. They only knew that there was something strange about Qi Xiuyuan's sword, but they didn't know what was so strange about it. However, Shen Yichuan could see it clearly. He could see that Qi Xiuyuan's sword had merged the sword art and space into one. The old man seemed to have been hit by only one sword, but in fact, that sword contained thousands of swords, and each sword strike split his body and his soul.

A sword strike from a different space, naturally no matter how much medicine this person takes, he cannot fully recover.

In particular, ordinary pills are not effective for healing injuries to the soul.

Shen Yichuan looked at Qi Xiuyuan, who continued to fight against the rain of arrows after swinging his sword, and sighed secretly.

As expected of the protagonist who was reborn after becoming a god, his comprehension is truly amazing...

If it weren't for the fact that I was luckier than the protagonist this time in this secret realm, I would have been able to absorb much more energy, and I wouldn't know how many times more I got than the other person... Otherwise, with the protagonist's incredible comprehension, I would have been thrown into that corner long ago!

The old man who had taken action and was at the peak of the Martial Emperor level was finally torn into pieces with screams. Suddenly, all the onlookers fell silent and terrified.

At this moment, ferocious beasts that could fly in the sea began to fly into the air. At the beginning, there were only a dozen of them, and later there were hundreds of them. They collectively faced the onlookers. Suddenly, those who were watching could only run away in embarrassment.

There were also cultivators flying towards Shen Yichuan, shouting loudly: "I still hope that you can help me and pull me to the island. I am willing to pay you a reward!"

"That's right." More and more people were hoping to reach the island. They had already discovered that Qi Xiuyuan was incredibly powerful, and the arrows from the ferocious beasts couldn't hurt him at all. Furthermore, there weren't any flying beasts around the island! So, as long as they could reach the island, they would definitely be able to breathe a sigh of relief!

Those cultivators were being chased by the ferocious beasts while shouting towards Shen Yichuan. Shen Yichuan looked at them and curled his lips.

These people were very immoral before, and he didn't want to save them.

The most important thing is that he has a lot of good things on hand now, so... he doesn't think too much of these people's resources.

So, Shen Yichuan said lazily: "Tell me what good things you have that you can take out. If you satisfy this young master, then you can come up."

Shen Yichuan's opportunistic behavior displeased the cultivators being hunted by the beasts, but thinking of Qi Xiuyuan's previous strength, they suppressed their displeasure. One of the peak Martial Honored cultivators spoke of several treasures he possessed. Seeing that Shen Yichuan didn't seem interested, he gritted his teeth and said, "I am willing to be your bodyguard. From now on, I will go through fire and water for you!"

Guard servants? Shen Yichuan raised his eyebrows and thought a little.

After a moment, Shen Yichuan said, "Okay, come here, hand over your heart's blood, and from now on you will be this young master's bodyguard."

"Yes!" The man responded happily and flew towards the isolated island. Behind him, ferocious beasts were chasing him. But after this man landed on the isolated island, those chasing beasts turned around and chased other people. It seemed that those beasts did not dare to approach the isolated island at all!

So, is this the reason why there are no flying beasts around the isolated island?

Suddenly, many cultivators became interested.

More and more people clamored to be Shen Yichuan's bodyguards, and Shen Yichuan accepted them all, but these were all at the level of Wu Zun.

In a blink of an eye, Shen Yichuan had eight more martial arts masters as guards. They had all paid their dues and signed a master-servant contract with Shen Yichuan. From then on, their lives and deaths would be controlled by Shen Yichuan.

Finally, two Martial Emperors joined in, one in the early stage and one in the middle stage.

But the remaining six people in the late stage of martial arts joined forces to force a landing on the isolated island. Shen Yichuan smiled coldly, released the green shade, and then took action directly.

In less than a quarter of an hour, six people in the late stage of martial arts were sucked dry by the green shade!

Suddenly, even those who became Shen Yichuan's guards became frightened.

Before, they thought that the only powerful person here was Qi Xiuyuan. After all, Shen Yichuan had not made a move and was afraid of death so he wrapped himself in a protective shield. Now it seems... the other party is not really afraid of death, he may just be afraid of taking action!

The island was quiet except for the rain of arrows. Except for the ten people who became Shen Yichuan's guards, the rest were all dead, killed by the ferocious beast.

As night fell, the rain of arrows stopped, and the ferocious beasts all sank into the ocean and disappeared. Qi Xiuyuan finally woke up from his sudden realization.

When he woke up and saw the series of extremely respectful guards behind Shen Yichuan, he was silent for a moment.

Shen Yichuan's eyes lit up slightly, and when he saw Qi Xiuyuan, he immediately walked over and asked, "Awake?"

Qi Xiuyuan looked at the other party, then at the guards, "What's going on with those people?"

Shen Yichuan naturally would not hide anything and told everything that had happened before, including the fact that the other party had killed a peak Martial Emperor with one sword.

Qi Xiuyuan himself actually had no recollection of killing the peak Martial Emperor, but after Shen Yichuan said this, a vague feeling still emerged in his mind. It was... a memory of the time when he made the move.

Shen Yichuan smiled and said, “Xiuyuan, I feel like we can really walk sideways here.”

Qi Xiuyuan glanced at Shen Yichuan and said calmly, “Many people at the peak of Martial Emperor have died.”

Shen Yichuan: “…”

Well, this pouring of cold water...does make sense.

Qi Xiuyuan walked to the edge of the strange rock on the isolated island and looked down.

Shen Yichuan followed and said, "I wonder if these beasts in the sea also need to rest. They stopped attacking at night... Oh, by the way, Luyin just sent me some information. There seems to be another space under this island. We can go explore it."

"Don't you go and take a look first?" Qi Xiuyuan looked at the other party again. With the other party's good luck, it would be fine if he went alone, and he wouldn't have to share the good things with him.

Shen Yichuan smiled slightly, "You are in enlightenment, I will always protect you."

And God knows what's down there. He was indeed lucky before, but what if his guess was wrong... what if the car overturned down there?

Therefore, he thought it would be better to act with the protagonist, which would not only show his sincerity but also ensure his safety. How great!

Qi Xiuyuan paused slightly after hearing this, not knowing whether he believed Shen Yichuan's words or not, but he said lightly: "Let's go and take a look down there."

So, Shen Yichuan called the guards and went down together.

At the same time, in the imperial capital.

The Qi family's twins are being punished for torturing Li Mingming so badly over the past two months. Yesterday, the Li family's parents came to the door, and a fight nearly broke out between the Qi and Li families. Li Mingming, the Li family's beloved child, is now traumatized by the torment and can't sleep without tranquilizers!

So, the Qi family twins were punished to copy books in the ancestral hall.

Qi Mengxi copied for a while until his hands were sore, so he simply put down his pen unhappily.

"It's obvious that Li Mingming is just as mentally fragile as Father said. What does this have to do with us? We didn't really hit him, we just scared him a few times. He can't stand it. The Li family doesn't think about how they didn't raise their children well and didn't know how to teach them to be mentally strong. Instead, they blame us. It's really unreasonable. Brother, I don't want to stay at home anymore. I want to go find Father and Mother."

This was not the first time Qi Mengxi had said this in the past two months, but Qi Kongyang had rejected it before. But this time, he did not reject it.
