"Senior Sister Jingyi, you guard the Dharma!"
Li Xuan also realized who he was fighting with the Dragon Carp Mysterious Snake. After speaking to Jingyi, he charged forward.
From his earlier perception, Li Xuan had already sensed that the strength of this Dragon Carp Mysterious Snake had reached the intermediate level of the Qiankun realm. With Song Tao's strength, he could only barely cope. If they had arrived a moment later, the consequences would have been unimaginable.
Li Xuan swung his sword down, and a terrifying sword energy raged, instantly engulfing the Dragon Carp Mysterious Snake.
"Little Junior Brother!" Sensing the appearance of the sword energy, Song Tao's gaze also shifted towards Li Xuan. Upon seeing that it was Li Xuan, Song Tao's face immediately lit up with surprise. But the next moment, Song Tao was swept away by a tail swipe from the Dragon Carp Mysterious Snake and sent flying.
Seeing this, Jingyi quickly moved towards Song Tao. After catching Song Tao and examining him, finding him unharmed, Jingyi breathed a sigh of relief.
*Crack!*
As the immortal sword struck down, the Dragon Carp Mysterious Snake's massive body could not dodge. The next moment, a roaring sound echoed. Accompanied by a cracking sound, Jingyi and the others' pupils contracted. Because the body of the Dragon Carp Mysterious Snake was actually split in two!
"What terrifying power!" Ao Li said gravely, looking at Li Xuan in mid-air.
"Before this, Li Xuan defeated Senior Brother Luo Yu, and I was somewhat unconvinced. But now it seems Li Xuan was holding back somewhat," a man beside Ao Li nodded in agreement.
Ao Li and the others nodded in agreement. After all, this Dragon Carp Mysterious Snake was an intermediate Qiankun realm beast. Although it did not possess divine abilities like spirit masters, its sheer size was imposing. Moreover, such a mystical beast's strength and defense were far beyond what a spirit master could match. Yet, Li Xuan had killed it with a single sword strike.
"Senior Brother Song Tao, how are you?" After killing the Dragon Carp Mysterious Snake with a sword strike, Li Xuan did not even look at its corpse and instantly came before Song Tao and Jingyi, asking.
Song Tao shook his head gratefully and said, "Just minor injuries, no serious harm. Fortunately, Junior Brother and the others arrived in time, otherwise, we would have become food for this Dragon Carp Mysterious Snake today."
Li Xuan breathed a sigh of relief and then asked, "Senior Brother Song Tao, how did you encounter this Dragon Carp Mysterious Snake?"
Song Tao let out a wry smile and said, "It wasn't that I encountered it, but that I landed right on top of this Dragon Carp Mysterious Snake as soon as I was teleported. If not for my robust physique, I probably wouldn't have lasted until Junior Brother and the others arrived."
Li Xuan was a little stunned. Senior Brother Song Tao's luck was truly something. Ao Li and the others exchanged glances, a flicker of relief flashing in their eyes. After all, they did not possess Song Tao's sturdy physique.
"Senior Brother Song Tao, you should heal first," Li Xuan said.
"Alright," Song Tao nodded. In this space, the threats were clearly not limited to this Dragon Carp Mysterious Snake. Ensuring one's own condition was naturally the most important thing. With that thought, Song Tao closed his eyes and began to heal.
Li Xuan and Jingyi exchanged a glance and a nod, then turned their attention to the Dragon Carp Mysterious Snake. A mid-level Qiankun realm mystical beast was quite valuable.
Soon, Li Xuan used his immortal sword to divide the Dragon Carp Mysterious Snake into several sections and put them into the Zhenyu. Of course, Li Xuan also took out one-tenth and gave it to Ao Li and the other four. Although Ao Li and the others had not exerted any effort, they had, after all, come with Li Xuan. xxs
Ao Li and the other four initially wanted to refuse, but the flesh and blood of an intermediate Qiankun realm mystical beast were valuable. After some polite refusal, Ao Li and the others accepted it. Their gaze towards Li Xuan now held a trace of admiration.
Li Xuan naturally paid no mind to this. He would not stoop to winning people over with favors. If they hadn't been on the journey together, Li Xuan would certainly not have given one-tenth of the flesh and blood to Ao Li and the other four. After all, even a mosquito is flesh, no matter how small.
"Little Junior Brother, where do we go next?" Half an hour later, Song Tao also opened his eyes, then stood up and asked Li Xuan.
Li Xuan looked into the distance and said, "Since we have entered this space, what we need to do is to first understand this space. Secondly, it would be best for us to rendezvous with others. That way, we will have enough strength to deal with any danger."
"And finally, I think it should be the location of that powerful expert's tomb."
After Li Xuan finished speaking, Ao Li and the other four looked at Li Xuan in surprise. They had not considered a plan before, but it seemed Ao Li and the others were only thinking of meeting up with their fellow disciples from the sect as soon as possible. As for anything else, Ao Li and the other four had not considered it at all.
"Junior Brother Li, you lead the way," Song Tao said after glancing at Ao Li and the other four.
Li Xuan nodded slightly, then looked to the east and said, "The sun rises in the east. Since this space has an 'Infernal Sun,' it is clearly constructed according to the outside world. Therefore, as long as we travel eastward, we will surely find something."
"Good," Song Tao nodded. Ao Li and the other four also nodded in agreement. After witnessing Li Xuan's combat prowess and analytical skills, Ao Li and the others had unconsciously begun to regard Li Xuan as their backbone.
"Let's go," Li Xuan said as soon as he saw that everyone had no objections.
Soon, Li Xuan and his group of eight disappeared in the eastern direction.
As time passed and two days went by, Li Xuan's group grew larger and larger. Not only were there disciples from the Three Sects and One Palace, but even disciples from the Nebula Hall had joined them. Li Xuan glanced at the number of people; it had already reached twenty-six.
Along the way, Li Xuan and the others encountered many mystical beasts. However, almost every time, Li Xuan directly intervened, nipping the threats in the bud. The group miraculously passed through the dense mountain range without incident.
"Little Junior Brother, I'm afraid there might be some trouble," during a rest period, Song Tao, Jingyi, and Qiu Mu, whom they had met later, looked at Li Xuan and said in low voices.
Li Xuan nodded slightly and then said, "Where there are people, there is the martial world. This is unavoidable. If they want to cause trouble, then let them."
In fact, Li Xuan had already noticed the unfriendly expressions of the six disciples from the Nebula Hall, even without Song Tao speaking. The strongest among the six disciples from the Nebula Hall was a disciple with the strength of an intermediate Qiankun realm.
This person's name was He Wei. Initially, he had not shown any particular actions. But as time passed, especially when he saw that the members of this team were all looking to Li Xuan for leadership, the six disciples from the Nebula Hall gradually began to change.
Li Xuan knew that the six disciples from the Nebula Hall were displeased with him leading this team. In essence, the six disciples from the Nebula Hall were accustomed to being superior. Even in front of disciples from the Three Sects and One Palace, this sense of superiority remained.
"Junior Brother Li Xuan, we have been traveling for a day and a night. What are your plans next, Junior Brother Li Xuan?" He Wei stood up and walked towards Li Xuan, saying.
Li Xuan smiled upon hearing this. He Wei finally couldn't hold back, could he?
"Does Senior Brother He Wei have any advice?" Li Xuan asked back with a smile.
He Wei smiled and then looked at everyone, saying, "Everyone, according to the information gathered by our Nebula Hall, our current location should be at the center of this space. The tomb should also be nearby. I suggest we explore here and find the tomb!"
Li Xuan's brow immediately furrowed. Had this He Wei been concealing information all along?
