Chapter 386 - Pay the Price

“Young Master, in my opinion, we might as well turn back like this. There’s no need to walk forward.”

Behind Liu Wen, someone finally mustered up the courage to persuade him.

They had saved most of the people. That was enough.

More importantly, they were existences that had been abandoned by the people in front of them. If those people had not abandoned them, they would still be in the same boat.

However, since the group in front thought so highly of themselves, there was no need to say anything about saving them.

“That’s right. I think they must be able to manage themselves. There’s no need for us to bother with them at all. In any case, they’re so confident that there won’t be a problem.”

After one of them stood up, the people behind also stood up one by one and suggested to Liu Wen.

However, the decision was still in Liu Wen’s hands. They could only complain here. They could not do anything to this weak junior.

Liu Wen could not be bothered with them, but there were too many people chattering.

Liu Wen turned around and looked at the guys behind him expressionlessly. “If I follow what you said, then shouldn’t I not have come back to bring you along?”

“Well…”

The people behind were immediately speechless. They knew that they were in the wrong and could not say anything. Originally, if one of them had stood up to stop them and protected Liu Wen and the other two, everyone would probably be fine now.

However, they chose to be the cruel ones.

It would have been fine if Liu Wen did not mention it just now. They really thought that Liu Wen had forgotten about it.

After Liu Wen said this, the seniors immediately retreated timidly and could only look at Liu Wen awkwardly.

The golden ball of light rolled very quickly. In just a moment, it arrived behind the dragon boat in front.

The group of people in front who were still trying their best to escape were already in front of them. It was as if they could reach them easily.

At this moment, the Purple Lightning Lion had already pounced towards the group of people in front of it like a madman. No matter what, it had to devour these humans.

However, he felt that the entire space seemed to have frozen at this moment.

Liu Wen watched as their golden ball of light hung in midair and stopped moving forward. It was the same for the dragon boat. The people above were still trying their best to chase it away, but all their movements were stopped at that second.

Even the huge beast tide suddenly stopped, as if it was frozen.

A figure suddenly appeared on the dragon boat.

Black Dragon looked unhappily at the two golden balls of light behind him. Initially, he found it very funny that these humans were building a fortress here. He thought that he could easily send some people to deal with these humans.

However, he did not expect that some capable humans would appear and ruin his plan.

Although most of the humans had already died in the beast tide, so many powerful figures had still escaped. These guys were the key. If they escaped just like that, his plan could be said to have completely failed.

The Black Dragon could not tolerate his repeated failures. No matter what, it had to succeed this time.

“You two little fellows are quite capable. You can even obtain such a powerful array formation. The learning ability of these humans can’t be underestimated. How long has it been and you’ve already reached this level?”

Black Dragon walked up to Liu Wen and gently poked him with his finger, creating a crack in the golden ball of light.

He walked straight in through the long crack and looked at Liu Wen, who was piloting the golden ball of light. Liu Wen stared blankly at the Black Dragon that had suddenly appeared in front of him, but he could not move.

“Little guy, who did you learn all your skills from? A formation of this level is not something a weak ant like you can do. Looks like your identity is not ordinary.”

The Black Dragon stretched out a finger and gently placed it on Liu Wen’s tender face. Suddenly, a chill ran down his spine.

The Black Dragon hurriedly retracted his hand and suddenly retreated.

A cold moonlight shone down from the sky in front of Liu Wen.

The Black Dragon looked at the place where the moonlight was cast in bewilderment. If he had been careless and stood there just now, he would probably have been hit by someone’s moonlight.

Although the moonlight just now looked ordinary, it hid endless killing intent. If it really hit him, even he would be doomed.

The Black Dragon narrowed his eyes in confusion as he looked at Li Yuanqing, who had suddenly appeared. He did not expect Li Yunqing to come so quickly.

“Good lord, you can reach the peak of the Formation Arrangement Realm in such a world where spiritual energy is scarce? What method did you use?”

The Black Dragon looked at Li Yuanqing in disbelief. It was impossible for Li Yuanqing to do this.

Even if the Demon Realm used all their strength to nature such a cultivator, it would be very difficult to nurture an existence at the peak of the Formation Arrangement Realm. However, this person was standing in front of him alive.

He remembered that just a year ago, this kid was only a Spirit Transformation ant. That was because he had never taken this human seriously when he had just entered and noticed him. However, in just a short year, this human had already stood in front of him so openly and was his enemy.

Li Yuanqing looked at the Black Dragon coldly. “If you hadn’t mined all those spirit stones, this world wouldn’t be so desolate.”

After hearing Li Yuanqing’s words, the Black Dragon suddenly laughed out loud, as if he had heard a huge joke.

“Kid, you’re not joking with me, are you?”

Li Yuanqing stared at him silently. “I don’t care what your motive is. You were the one who turned the entire lower realm into such a desolate place. You should pay the price!”

“Price? You want me to pay for this?”

The Black Dragon was a little unhappy, but he did not attack rashly. His strength was severely restricted in the lower realm. At most, he could only unleash the strength of the peak of the Formation Arrangement Realm.

However, even so, he was still very confident that he could defeat Li Yuanqing directly. It was just that Li Yuanqing always looked unfathomable, making him a little uncertain.

“You did all this, you have to pay for it!”

“Hmph!” Black Dragon flicked his sleeve, and a gust of wind blew away the dust behind him. Tens of thousands of demon army stood behind Li Yuanqing. They slowly regained consciousness and could move.

These demons’ eyes burned with scarlet flames as they stared up at Li Yuanqing in the sky.

The hatred in the eyes of those demons was thousands of times greater, as if they wanted to skin Li Yuanqing alive.

“Ridiculous! If you humans hadn’t discovered this small world and taken the initiative to mine, how would this place have been exposed?” The Black Dragon looked at Li Yuanqing coldly. “Do I need to tell you what you humans have done? You still say that I mine this place like this? How many small worlds have been destroyed by you humans?”

Li Yuanqing’s expression changed, but he quickly regained his composure.

“I don’t care about that. All I know is that you destroyed this place.”

“Hahaha!” Black Dragon could not help but raise his head and laugh. Suddenly, he stopped laughing and stared at Li Yuanqing with dark eyes. “So what? What can you do to me?”

Li Yuanqing took out his Waning Moon Sword and slowly held it in front of him.

“I will kill you.”

“Kill me?”

The Black Dragon’s head suddenly squirmed, and two black horns slowly grew out.

“What kind of confidence do you have? Who is standing behind you that you have the guts to speak to me like this?”

“Then come and try!”

As soon as Li Yuanqing finished speaking, he immediately turned into an afterimage and disappeared.

The moment he disappeared, an explosion sounded from where he was standing. One of the Black Dragon’s hands extended out of the space. His body was still standing where he was just now, but the huge hand had already arrived in front of Li Yuanqing.

Unexpectedly, the Black Dragon crawled out of the spatial crack. His hand had already turned into a few black iron hooks.

He missed and looked at the place where Li Yuanqing had landed with a greedy smile.

“Good lord, it’s been a long time since I’ve fought so freely! Coincidentally, I can only unleash so much strength in the lower realm. It’s fair and just with you. When you die later, you don’t have to complain to the King of Hell!”

The Black Dragon laughed crazily and waved his two black dragon claws. He turned into a black bolt of lightning and pounced at Li Yuanqing.

Li Yuanqing held the sword horizontally in front of his chest and swung it forcefully. A cold sword energy scattered out, turning into moonlight that spread out beside him.

The moonlight was very hazy, but it vaguely emitted a strong sword intent.

Although Black Dragon thought highly of himself, he did not dare to drag it out at this time.

Seeing that the moonlight was about to land on him, the Black Dragon turned around and circled around. He slapped two black lights at the moonlight.

The black claw mark collided with the white moonlight, erupting with a violent collision sound that spread out with the contact point as the center.

The demons below were swept away by the shock wave and thrown in all directions. Liu Wen and the others were protected by the golden ball of light. After being hit by the shock wave, they retreated towards the fortress at an extremely fast speed.

Black Dragon looked at Li Yuanqing coldly. This kid’s strength was far beyond his expectations.

As he had expected, this kid was definitely from the Immortal World. If he wasn’t from the Immortal World, he definitely wouldn’t have such strength.

“I knew it. How could you humans give up willingly? There are so many small worlds below. It turns out that they secretly supported so many little fellows and caused trouble here. I was too young to believe your nonsense!”

Li Yuanqing straightened his sword expressionlessly and looked at the Black Dragon coldly. “If you don’t have any moves, it’s my turn.”

The Black Dragon sneered and said disdainfully, “I just want to play with you slowly and kill you, you arrogant human brat!”

Before he could finish his sentence, Li Yunqing had suddenly disappeared and dozens of shadows appeared at the side.

Each of the dozens of shadows seemed to be real. Each of them held a Waning Moon Sword in their hands and waved it at a strange angle.

These dozens of shadows slashed a sword light at the Black Dragon at the same time. The sword light was very sharp, turning into a semicircle that arrived in front of the Black Dragon in the blink of an eye.

The Black Dragon wanted to dodge, but suddenly felt his body stiffen, as if something was controlling him.

Only then did the Black Dragon realize that Li Yuanqing’s dozens of phantoms were not standing there randomly. Instead, they formed a huge net according to a certain pattern.

He used his clone as the node of the array formation and only released such a huge net to firmly bind the Black Dragon.

The Black Dragon was shocked. He hurriedly waved his two huge dragon claws and cut open the imprisonment beside him, drilling out like a mudfish.

He had never expected Li Yuanqing to have such strength. He knew that Li Yuanqing’s attainments in array formations were very profound. He guessed that the two golden balls of light just now were created by Li Yuanqing.

However, he did not expect Li Yuanqing to be able to form an array with sword energy. He fused his sword energy into the array formation and the aura of his domain space. He had fused everything he had very well, which was why he had almost stolen a big one from the Black Dragon.

After the Black Dragon stood up, he looked at Li Yuanqing below in surprise.

Li Yuanqing appeared where he had been standing just now. All the phantoms finally returned to his body.

“Good kid, your sect dares to commit crimes in the lower realm. Aren’t you afraid that I’ll sue you?”

Li Yuanqing replied coldly, “I don’t have a sect. I’m not afraid of you suing me.”

“You’re still being stubborn at a time like this. You’re clearly from the Immortal World. You were hiding in the lower realm and wanted to take advantage of the situation, but I caught you!”

“What did you say?”

“Kid, don’t pretend to be stupid with me. I know where you came from! Your White Cloud Mountain is a large sect of the human race. If such a scandal spread, how can you establish yourself in the human race in the future?”

Li Yunqing frowned and looked at Black Dragon unhappily. Black Dragon might be stalling for time.

“It’s useless to tell me any more nonsense. You’re not going anywhere today!”

For a moment, Black Dragon thought that his words had moved Li Yuanqing, but he did not expect Li Yuanqing to be unmoved by force or persuasion and wanted to attack again.

As the sword slashed out, the dark clouds in the sky rumbled.

A very strong fear swept through Black Dragon. He felt like there was a huge mountain pressing down on him, making it difficult for him to breathe.
