Jiang Feng's death was somewhat beyond Yang Qi's expectations. Jiang Feng's strength was not weak, but he was killed by Shi Zhong in such a short time. It shows how strong Shi Zhong was!
"Crystallized?"
Looking at the dissipating purple-blue powder, Yang Qi immediately understood that Jiang Feng should have been crystallized and then attacked by Shi Zhong.
Once crystallized, and affected by the resonance of the purple-blue divine crystal, the damage he suffered increased exponentially. Jiang Feng's vitality had already been depleted, and the fierce battle with Shi Zhong had also depleted a lot of vitality. If it was a normal fight, he could still hold out for some time. But after being crystallized, his remaining vitality was directly killed by Shi Zhong in one go!
The method of crystallization is somewhat similar to soul attack. Once crystallized, one cannot defend oneself and can only rely on the physical body to withstand it. Coupled with the resonance effect of the purple-blue divine crystal, after being crystallized, the damage caused by Shi Zhong's full-strength attack is definitely comparable to Yang Qi's strongest killing move.
"Jiang Feng is dead?"
Compared to Yang Qi's calmness, Li Si exclaimed in disbelief.
He was very clear about Jiang Feng's strength. Logically speaking, even if Jiang Feng was injured, he should be able to hold off Shi Zhong for a while. But now, Jiang Feng was killed before he could even ask for help. It was really incredible to him.
What Li Si didn't know was that the reason why Jiang Feng was killed so quickly by Shi Zhong was not only because Shi Zhong's own strength was not weaker than Jiang Feng, but also because Jiang Feng underestimated Shi Zhong. Previously, Jiang Feng and Han Zhuang surrounded Shi Zhong and almost killed him, but they failed to stop Shi Zhong from using his last crystallization method. Therefore, Jiang Feng didn't know the power of Shi Zhong's move at all. It was not until he was crystallized that he realized how terrible this move was, but it was too late for him to ask for help.
"Damn it!" Li Si's face was extremely ugly.
Jiang Feng's death disrupted Li Si's plan. Originally, even if Yang Qi had the clone of Tao, he might be able to kill Yang Qi at a cost. But now, while dealing with Yang Qi, he also had to face Shi Zhong, who was more powerful than Jiang Feng. Just like when he and Jiang Feng, two people and one insect, besieged Yang Qi and the clone of Tao, the situation was completely reversed. He was not sure he could kill Yang Qi under such circumstances.
"withdraw!"
Almost in an instant, Li Si made a decision in his heart. Since he couldn't kill Yang Qi, there would be no point in continuing the fight. Moreover, Jiang Feng's death would also be a big trouble for him.
Jiang Feng's master is a close friend of Emperor Baiyun, who is also his uncle. When he entered the Tianhuang Holy Land before, he asked him to take care of Jiang Feng. Now that Jiang Feng died in front of him, he doesn't know how to explain when he goes back!
Whoosh~
Thinking of this, Li Si was no longer hesitant. He stepped forward and flew away, intending to evacuate.
Whoosh~
Just when Li Si was about to withdraw, Shi Zhong, who had killed Jiang Feng, had already arrived. Together with Yang Qi and Daozhi's clone, the three of them surrounded Li Si who was about to withdraw.
Shi Zhong looked at Li Si in front of him and said with a cold smile, "Since you are here, don't be in a hurry to leave."
If it was before, he naturally didn't have the strength and confidence to say this, but after fighting with Jiang Feng, he had a new positioning of his own strength, and together with Yang Qi, there might be a chance to keep Li Si! Since Li Si attacked Yang Qi, he was Yang Qi's enemy. He knew that Yang Qi and others had to go to the core area. If such a strong enemy could be killed, it would undoubtedly make Yang Qi's adventure in the core area much safer.
Yang Qi has been very kind to him, and this is the time for him to repay him!
"You want to keep me?"
Li Si looked at Yang Qi and Shi Zhong in front of him with a sneer. The next moment, two drops of bright red blood appeared in his hands, and the blood exuded powerful power.
"Yang Qi, this is the essence and blood of a high-level Martial Emperor Insect Beast. You should know its use. At worst, both sides will die!" Li Si looked at Yang Qi and said.
"The essence of the dark beetle?"
After recognizing the Dark Beetle as its master, Yang Qi naturally recognized at a glance that one of the drops of blood was the Dark Beetle's blood essence. The Yin-Yang Beetle's strength increased greatly before, probably because it activated one of its blood essences. Unexpectedly, Li Si actually had two drops of blood essence in his hand, and each drop was stronger than the other. One of the drops of blood essence contained an even more terrifying aura than the Dark Beetle's blood essence.
Li Si's strength was not weak to begin with, and with these two drops of blood essence, with the help of the Yin-Yang Beetle, even if he joined forces with Shi Zhong, it would be very difficult to keep Li Si. Most importantly, Li Si was a practitioner who was good at the soul, and Shi Zhong's weakness was the soul. He might be able to survive, but Shi Zhong would definitely die!
Whoosh~
The incarnation of Tao moved and made way.
Seeing Yang Qi preparing to let Li Si leave, Shi Zhong's expression changed slightly, and he quickly said, "Brother Yang..."
Now they have a clear advantage and have a chance to keep Li Si. Even if it costs some money, it is worth killing Li Si. Otherwise, when they can use life-saving items or are in the inner domain, if they want to encounter such an opportunity again, or even if Yang Qi needs Li Si alone, it will be more difficult to kill the opponent.
After hearing Shi Zhong's words, Yang Qi shook his head slightly. This was indeed a good opportunity to keep Li Si, but if it meant exchanging his friend's life, he couldn't do it.
Whoosh~
Seeing this, Li Si did not linger any longer. He flashed and flew towards the depths of the sword tower. In the blink of an eye, he disappeared from the sight of Yang Qi and the others.
"Brother Yang, if you let him go now, what will happen in the future..." Shi Zhong looked at Yang Qi and said.
"With our strength, it's difficult to keep him." Yang Qi smiled bitterly and continued, "Besides, he is good at the soul. I can only resist him when I use all my strength."
A soul
Shi Zhong's face suddenly changed. He was very clear about his own weaknesses. If he really took action, not only would he not be able to help Yang Qi, he might even drag Yang Qi down. At that time, let alone keeping Li Si, he would probably have a hard time saving his life.
"If I were stronger, Brother Yang wouldn't have to..."
Shi Zhong felt very guilty. He thought he could repay his gratitude this time, but he didn't expect that his weakness would become his biggest weakness. Fortunately, he did not act rashly before, otherwise he would not only fail to help Yang Qi, but might even harm Yang Qi.
In the final analysis, the reason for all this is that his strength is too weak. If he could step into the Martial Emperor realm, his soul weaknesses would be compensated, and he wouldn't have to be afraid of Li Si!
Seeing Shi Zhong's guilty look, Yang Qi quickly said, "Li Si's strength and methods are not inferior to mine. I was besieged by Li Si and Jiang Feng before, and I was exhausted. Even if I was at my best, I dare not say that I can stop Li Si!" (To be continued)
