Chapter 64 The villain escapes, dismantling the human body (Please continue reading)
The thunderous sound seemed to possess a natural power to intimidate the mundane "clay figures".
In an instant, birds and beasts took flight, and wild deer scattered.
The guards felt the thunderous sound enter their bodies through their ears, vibrating back and forth in their chests, as if their hearts were being squeezed by a giant hand.
It's like a three-year-old child encountering a fierce tiger, hearing its roar, and experiencing an instinctive tremor in their body.
This is not cowardice, but a kind of "suppression".
The reason why the immortal in the altar hesitated to use this move was because such a sound would deplete his vital energy and reveal his location more quickly.
But at this moment, he was forced into a corner by Li Xian and had no choice but to take a risky move.
"drink!"
His momentum reached its peak, and then he let out a loud shout.
One of the timid guards shuddered, soiling himself and his hands loosened, causing the iron net to open slightly.
"Excellent!"
Taking advantage of the situation, the immortal in the altar broke free of the iron net, grinned maliciously at Li Xian, and leaped forward to attack, his hands transforming into claws, intending to capture him.
Li Xian felt an overwhelming aura. He already knew that the thief's escape was a foregone conclusion, and that once he was free, he would surely capture and kill him first.
So he moved to a favorable position early on, turned sideways, and darted into a narrow crevice in the mountain.
The fairy in the altar was short in stature, so naturally she could squeeze into the cracks in the rocks.
However, his bow and arrow were already pointed outwards.
In this confined space, no one can escape. If the immortal in the altar wants to kill Li Xian, he will inevitably be struck by nine arrows.
"Good lad!"
"Cunning as a fox, yet even this couldn't kill you!"
The immortal in the altar was extremely angry. This kid's martial arts skills were mediocre, but he was so troublesome, which was truly unexpected.
"You come out here!"
The immortal in the altar pointed at Li Xian and shouted with glaring eyes.
Li Xian aimed nine sharp arrows at the outside and said calmly, "Don't go out."
"You're not coming out, are you? You're not coming out, are you?"
The immortal in the altar stomped his foot, then suddenly leaped up and lifted another archer up like a chick, holding him in front of him.
"This fellow is quite clever." Li Xian frowned, loosened his fingers, and a flying arrow shot out, passing through the gap and hitting a bird hundreds of feet away.
"You may come in."
"But no matter what blocks your way, I will shoot two arrows into your knees."
Li Xian said calmly.
With the strength of the Immortal in the Altar, killing him would be a sure thing if he entered the crevice.
He has made up his mind.
Upon hearing this, the immortal in the altar paused, genuinely feeling apprehensive. He had tested the boy's accuracy before.
Even with a living shield, it's not necessarily possible to completely block it. If a leg injury reduces speed, that would be extremely bad.
"I'm so angry! I'm so angry!"
"I'll spare your life, but..."
"Hehe, you won't be so lucky."
The immortal in the altar patted the shoulder of the other bow-wielder, then reached out with both hands, twisted, lifted, and pulled at his wrists.
The hand was then removed.
It still has skin and meat stuck to it.
The archer screamed in agony, but the immortal in the altar, annoyed, pinched and yanked his chin off.
The skin was torn and flesh was exposed, with blood dripping down.
They disassembled people like puppets, but in a much more gruesome way... The bones remained intact, but the flesh, skin, fascia, and blood vessels were torn apart!
"Hehe, this is fun, this is fun."
The immortal in the altar plunged his hands into the man's back and pulled downwards with force. With a tearing sound, the entire piece of flesh was peeled off like tree bark.
"Forehead…"
The guard was no longer recognizable as a human.
Li Xian was horrified; he had never seen such a horrific scene before. His stomach churned violently.
But he had to remain calm on the surface, because he knew that the person this guy really wanted to kill was himself.
If you show even the slightest weakness, your fate will be just as tragic.
The immortal in the altar dismembered the body, scattering his arms, shoulders, and thighs all over the ground. But the guard still managed to stay alive.
"Hehe, fresh soup tastes the best."
He threw the mangled body into the stone altar.
Just then...
"You cunning and vicious villain, where do you think you're going!"
Li Haitang and the others arrived late, looking embarrassed.
"Goodbye, you little brats, trying to grab me?"
"Let's wait another ten years!"
"Never again."
But then they saw the immortal in the altar carry the stone altar on his back and use his lightness skill to leave.
"hateful!"
Yang Huayu was furious and punched the mountain, sending rocks flying everywhere.
"Are you all just sitting around doing nothing? You can't even stop that thug!"
"This plan was flawless! It's all your fault for letting this thief escape!"
Yang Huayu cursed.
Li Xian thought to himself:
"The blockade has been going on for a long time; you've been waiting too long."
However, he did not refute it. He had indeed learned something today and understood the difference between them. Clay figures... in front of such a powerful being, they were no different from toys, and were wantonly trampled on.
“This fellow’s Iron Tablet Hand has gotten stronger again.” Li Haitang sighed. “This trip has failed, and we’ve let the tiger return to the mountain. We need to reconsider our strategy.”
Li Xian emerged from the mountain crevice.
Seeing blood everywhere...
The previous tragedy is still fresh in my mind.
"I knew long ago that the martial world was dangerous."
"Knowing is one thing, experiencing it firsthand is another!"
Cannibalism?
Cannibalism seems like an act of mercy.
...
...
Within Qingning County.
After their failed attempt to capture the immortal in the altar, the group reunited in the city. The guards were stunned and speechless, clearly deeply shocked.
"Nineteen people..."
Li Xian silently counted the number of people; only nineteen remained out of the original thirty.
Eleven people died.
Li Xian's team lost only one person. The other teams each lost five people, exactly half their total number.
"The man charged in, and Liu Quan organized his troops to meet him, but their formation was broken in an instant."
"The man wasn't in a hurry to kill us. He said he wanted to play a game, two people in a row, rock-paper-scissors. The winner would live and the loser would die."
"Liu Quan played rock-paper-scissors with me, and he lost. He was completely dismantled like a doll and finally thrown into the stone jar."
...
"Exactly the same... After our formation was broken, we were also thoroughly tortured. That thief really lost interest, so... that's when he left."
"Uncle Li, why did so few of your men die?"
The group talked, still shaken.
Li Xian frowned. From the conversation, he could tell that the trip had been a huge loss, and the blame lay mostly with Li Haitang.
She seriously misjudged and severely underestimated the immortal in the altar.
While the Immortal in the Altar might not be able to defeat them in a direct confrontation, she was clearly quite adept at escaping.
To put it bluntly, Li Haitang and his group simply did not possess the ability to capture the immortal in the altar.
Being able to defeat someone is one thing, but being able to kill them or capture them alive is another.
This allowed the Immortal in the Altar to leisurely and wantonly torment himself during his escape. He was confident that even if Li Haitang caught up, he could escape again.
This is indeed the case.
Indeed, the immortal in the altar fled again right before their eyes.
I wonder if Madam had foreseen this beforehand, or if she didn't care about the outcome and this was merely a favor to Marquis Li.
"Master Li?"
Several guards pressed for answers.
Li Xian came to his senses and recounted the details of what happened: how he trapped the thief, how he fought with him, how they restrained each other, how he was freed, and how he managed to save his life.
The thrills and dangers involved are so intense that they keep the viewer on the edge of their seat.
I couldn't help but feel a surge of admiration. This old man Li's martial arts skills were secondary. It was his composure and calmness in the face of crisis that were truly admirable.
