Reincarnation

Li Qi resolved the battle here.

Everyone scattered like birds and beasts, and the gazes cast from elsewhere also withdrew.

Those two fourth-rank cultivators had not died. They had merely fled.

They were fourth rank, after all. How could they die so easily? A few seconds after Li Qi sealed them, they resolved the problems on their bodies. In the next instant, both immediately activated their hidden escape arts and vanished without a trace.

Li Qi did not pursue them.

It would not have been difficult to chase them down and kill them, but given how abundant a fourth-rank cultivator's trump cards were, Li Qi would have had to hunt them for at least several decades before finishing them off.

There was no need. Li Qi had more important things to do.

For instance... he could look in on Er Gou and Xiao Gou over there.

Li Qi looked in that direction. The two little demons had no idea how many people Li Qi had just stopped for them. If he had not blocked them, that crowd of fourth and fifth ranks would have attacked them.
