An Unexpected Turn

Li Qi suddenly found himself in danger.

An invisible shadow is launching attacks relentlessly!

You can't see them, you can't even hear or smell them; it's as if they don't exist in this world.

But the attack did occur!

A sharp buzzing sound suddenly came from behind!

Li Qi's pupils contracted, he lowered his head, and rolled on the ground.

An invisible force field passed through the place where he had just been, tearing through the earth, shattering rocks, and sinking deep into the desert.

With sheer force, this attack easily achieved the power to shatter stone tablets and break through metal.

Li Qi reacted immediately at that moment!

The energy within his body surged, and then he pointed out with one finger!

Wood and fire shine together, fire gleams and wood gleams.

The Azure Dragon Spirit Qi was ignited, and the Vermilion Bird's divine energy burned into fire, unleashing extremely powerful force!

The air was filled with wisps of smoke due to the high temperature. In the vast desert night sky, it was as if a star had appeared. A huge fire storm swept everything in, turning barren soil into magma and withered trees into ashes!

Even the stones seemed as easily ignited, burned, and melted as if they were paper, then merged into the lava lake, solidifying after the flames died down, as if they had never existed.

This is Li Qi's strongest attack right now!

It was a combined attack from the Vermilion Bird's divine energy and the Azure Dragon Spirit Qi that tore a gap in the earth, where a small river of lava flowed.

After delivering the blow, Li Qi immediately turned his head to the back.

But then another dark figure appeared and attacked!

The previously invisible transparent shadow has now split into two figures, one white and one black, and they launched a pincer attack on him!

A white streak, from which one could see a burning, intense heat, trailed a long shadow behind it.

A black figure, with a hint of gloom lurking within, extended two black wings from its back. Two red eyes, burning brightly, contrasted sharply with the white shadow. It was frenzied and full of aggressive desire, constantly launching attacks on Li Qi.

"You didn't get infected?" Li Qi frowned.

The attack just now was so powerful that even a ninth-rank expert couldn't possibly escape unscathed, right?

But the next second, Li Qi knew why.

"To split oneself into Yin and Yang energies? What a brilliant move," Li Qi exclaimed, while scrambling to avoid the next wave of attacks.

Although the ninth rank of martial arts didn't have any special skills, it gave him stronger physical qualities and reaction speed. So, although this Child of Destiny had made him look extremely disheveled, he was not in immediate danger and still had the energy to keep talking.

But Li Qi also discovered that this person, in dismantling his own Qi, could also transform himself into a blurry form that seemed to be entirely composed of pure shadow and pure light, in order to evade Li Qi's energy attacks.

This forced Li Qi into a passive position, where he could only dodge constantly.

The woman's attacks were also strange; her movements were extremely agile, and she would disassemble herself every time she launched a surprise attack, frequently concealing her form before striking again.

She used this stealth ability to get close to Li Qi, then launched a sneak attack, attempting to leave wounds on him.

Moreover, as the battle progressed, Li Qi discovered that the already incredibly fast speed of the surprise attacks was actually getting faster and faster!

Li Qi was struggling to keep up and barely managed to put up a resistance.

But he wasn't worried at all, and just sighed again, "Girl, you have no chance of winning."

The other party remained silent and continued to surround Li Qi, launching attack after attack.

Li Qi remained silent, simply enduring the pain while rolling on the ground, occasionally leaving marks on the ground with his internal energy.

This entanglement lasted for about two minutes.

Finally, the figure's continuous attacks stopped.

Li Qi finally had a chance to catch his breath and no longer had to roll around in all sorts of embarrassing positions.

Then, the figure who had stopped stood there, clasped his hands together confidently, and said in a low voice, "Rise!"

Then, nothing happened.

Li Qi finally had a moment to catch his breath. He explained, "Young lady, your idea of using your Yin and Yang avatars to launch surprise attacks and secretly create the Yin-Yang strangulation formation is good."

The attack came again.

However, Li Qi, who was prepared, dodged again and continued:

"However, yin and yang transform, yang is born and yin dies, yang dies and yin is born, the cycle is reversed and forward, and the changes are evident. The distinction between life and death is like a mother giving birth to a child, the child grows up and the mother grows old and dies, this is the natural order."

"However, just now I used the Vermilion Bird Fire to bombard the wood energy. Although it seemed to be for the purpose of an explosion, in reality, the wood above it was Yin wood, whose roots were broken and whose branches were severed. It was called dead wood. The wood energy of the dead wood was extremely cold and yin. I also used the vigorous Great Forest Wood Qi that I had stored up. Life and death depended on each other, so that your Yin Qi would not be extinguished and your Yang Energy would be difficult to generate. Your yin-yang exchange stopped, and the formation broke by itself."

Li Qi explained his Technique Method.

The so-called contest of skills is actually a competition of who knows more and who has more abilities.

Would a Child of Destiny from a small town know as much as Li Qi, who spends all his time reading books?

What she thought was a well-hidden killer move was actually exposed from the very beginning. As Shaman, Li Qi's ability to Qi Gazing was a basic skill. Without the ability to conceal qi, his sneak attack was completely useless.

The offensive has been temporarily halted.

Seeing this, Li Qi cupped his hands and said, "Now, can you listen to me, young lady? I really do have a way that might make this world a better place."

As the yin and yang energies Xianghe, the figure became transparent and invisible once more, its presence completely unseen. Only a voice could be heard saying, "Can you make High Immortal abandon this world?"

"No." Li Qi shook his head. After sobering up from that euphoric state, he knew his place. He had no right to interfere in the decisions of the Great Deer Kingdom Lord.

"Then we have nothing to talk about." The voice came, and she prepared to attack again!

Even if the young master is stronger than her.

"Wait! You have no chance of winning!" Li Qi shouted again, "You still don't know the gap between you and High Immortal!"

But this statement did not stop the other side from launching another attack.

"Sigh." Li Qi sighed.

This Child of Destiny is already struggling to even defeat himself, yet he still wants to rebel against the Great Deer Kingdom?

Seriously... haven't you realized the gap yet?

Thinking this, Li Qi cupped his hands and said, "Please make a move, senior brother."

As soon as he finished speaking, the Child of Destiny fell straight down, crashing to the ground without any resistance.

It was a girl, and it was as if something was choking her; her face turned a deep purplish-red, and she suddenly lost the ability to move!

Li Qi was secretly alarmed, because he felt nothing at all.

Is this the Curse technique of the diviner? Is it one of the two deadly traps secretly set up by that diviner?

Then, a mirror appeared in the air.

Judging from this, it seems that this Diviner Young Master is quite skilled in using similar Technique Method.

If a mirror can project the bright moon from hundreds of thousands of miles away to Perfected Person's eyes, it can naturally also project a person's shadow.

Then a phantom figure appeared in the air, which was Diviner Young Master.

When they met again, he chuckled and said, "Junior brother, do you see? We have an irreconcilable conflict with these natives. You want to make this world a little better, which is righteous and just, but in my opinion, it is unwise."

"If this world wants to be free, it must get rid of the Great Deer Kingdom, but they can't do it, no matter how hard they try. Such actions are neither powerful nor wise, so I despise this world."

"Your path, junior brother, is based on justice and righteousness, while mine is based on wisdom and strength. This is the difference between us, but now it seems that mine is more in line with the current reality."

The diviner said this, and then with a gentle wave of his hand, the Child of Destiny was bound by shadows and unable to move.

Li Qi smiled wryly, "Senior brother is mistaken. I am not acting out of kindness and wanting to save the world."

"Oh? What do you think, junior brother?" Bu Ren asked curiously.

Because both of them understand the same principle.

Whether it's justice or righteousness, it should be based on the condition of equality between both parties. And now, no matter what, the Earth Oil Realm can never be equal to the Great Deer Kingdom.

"Justice" means impartiality, not favoring one side. Fairness is not absolute equality, so the Earth Oil Realm can never get rid of all this. If Li Qi tries to get them to leave the Great Deer Kingdom, that would be unjust, because it would harm the interests of the Great Deer Kingdom and favor the Earth Oil Realm.

By saving the poor sheep, the powerful wolf will go hungry.

Li Qi said earnestly, "The righteous path I have come up with does not require ignoring individual differences and seeking only absolute equality; that would be unfair to the strong."

"While this statement contains some errors, it is not entirely wrong," the fortune teller commented.

Ignoring the evaluation, Li Qi continued, "However, the Great Deer Kingdom also deprived the Earth Oil Realm of something it should have had: opportunity."

"True fairness is not absolute equality, but equal opportunities for everyone. The Great Deer Kingdom governs the Earth Oil Realm with Human Path Evil Method, which has caused the people here to live in misery and die out. Therefore, it is not wrong to rule the Earth Oil Realm. The real unfairness lies in the fact that the Great Deer Kingdom deprives the Earth Oil Realm of its opportunities."

"Yes, the Great Deer Kingdom is indeed intentionally trying to stifle the birth of cultivators here, but to nip it in the bud, one must remove the roots. So it's understandable that they're doing this," the diviner said.

"So, this approach by the Great Deer Kingdom is good for the wolves, but not for the sheep. It will lead to the sheep gradually weakening and eventually dying out. Is this a good thing for the Heavenly Dao Way? In the end, the weak perish and the strong become weaker. Is this a good thing for the world?" Li Qi asked.

"If I want to uphold justice and righteousness, I should leave seeds for the sheep right now. In the future, the sheep can reproduce, and the wolves will not weaken. The cycle of Heavenly Dao will be complete. This is the right way," Li Qi said.

After listening, Bu Ren fell into deep thought.

Clearly, Li Qi's words gave him great inspiration.

After thinking for a while, he bowed to Li Qi for the first time.

This gesture was very formal, and it was clear that he had been persuaded by Li Qi.

Then, the diviner continued, "This makes a lot of sense, but there is still one thing I don't quite understand. If the wolf always gives the sheep a chance, what will happen if the sheep becomes powerful and transforms into a demon, returning to seek revenge?"

Li Qi replied, "A wolf is a wolf not because it eats sheep."

"The reason why the Great Deer Kingdom was able to rule countless Outer Domain Small World and even occupy a place in the world is its own strength."

"As long as the Great Deer Kingdom remains strong, the sheep can continue to reproduce, and the wolves will always be wolves. But if the Great Deer Kingdom weakens and the Earth Oil Realm becomes stronger, the power of wolves and sheep will switch places, just like the rotation of yin and yang. So what? As long as new sheep still have a chance, then heaven and earth will always be in a perfect cycle, and there will be no situation of withering away," Li Qi said.

"When yin reaches its extreme, yang arises; when yang reaches its extreme, yin arises. Just like the Vermilion Bird's fire, which is extremely yang and the Azure Dragon Spirit Qi, it is also full of vitality. However, when these two kinds of vitality and Yang Energy, which are extremely intense, come together, they will give birth to the Wood of the Li, which is full of Death Intent and Yin Qi. This is the principle of the cycle."

"I understand." The diviner bowed and paid his respects again.

He was persuaded.

If it is so 'righteous,' then although it is unkind, it is the way of Heavenly Dao. This disciple of the Great Shaman has surpassed him in his understanding of the Way of Heavenly Dao. This bow is to express gratitude for the other party's explanation and to admire the other party's thinking.

"My name is Bo Yue. May I ask your name, junior brother?" asked the diviner Bo Yue.

"My surname is Li, and my given name is Qi," Li Qi replied.

"Meeting you here today has been incredibly beneficial; perhaps this is why Master sent us on this journey of trials," Bo Yue said with emotion. "Having gained so much, this trip to the Earth Oil Realm has been truly worthwhile."

"Then please release this Child of Destiny, senior brother. I have some words I want to say to her," Li Qi said.

"Although we can understand each other, it's because of our limited perspectives. People from small worlds probably find it hard to understand each other."

"Maintaining justice is the way to practice my principles. I do not seek anything else or any reward; it is simply to practice my principles," Li Qi said with a smile, not feeling that there was anything wrong with it.

After speaking, the two young masters of Wushen Mountain exchanged a glance and burst into laughter. Then, they bowed together, facing the horizon, and said in unison, "Please, senior, step forward. We are merely ninth-rank officials, and it may be presumptuous of us to say such things. But from Wushen Mountain's perspective, these words are worth the king's deep consideration, aren't they?"

The two young masters of Wushen Mountain spoke at the same time, and their combined aura caused their voices to penetrate directly through the dome.

Yes, both of them are smart people, and smart people always know how to use their brains.

The two young masters of Wushen Mountain, does the Great Deer Kingdom dare to ignore them? Let them play by themselves?

What if something happens to the young masters?

Therefore, the two were already certain that someone was watching this place.

After doing this, Bo Yue let go of his restraints.

Li Qi then gazed at the Child of Destiny and said, "Girl, look carefully. This is why I advised you earlier and told you that there was absolutely no chance of winning."

As soon as Li Qi finished speaking, a giant hand descended from the sky!

A Dharma body suddenly appeared, its body enormous and its Law Power vast, directly filling the entire starry sky!

If you look into the distance, you can see that the entire planet looks as small as a basketball in front of this image.

However, apart from certain individuals, no one else can perceive the existence of this Dharma body.

Bo Yue was taken aback. "Such a Dharma form! It is definitely a fifth-rank Dharma form, it is the Great Deer Kingdom Lord himself!"

Li Qi was even more horrified, for he caught a glimpse of the tiny figure behind the Dharma body.

"Teacher!"
