A Sea of Flowers Across the Wilds, Draw the Sword

The shadows of the trees concealed murderous intent.

Li Xian raised his sword and slashed down, beheading another pursuer. Seeing that he was surrounded on all sides and the enemy's formation was complete, he grabbed a vine, swung himself, and leaped several feet away. Using the momentum to swing far away, he then used the "Seven-Star Step" to stomp in mid-air at incredible speed.

His figure darted away and disappeared into the forest. The attackers shouted and yelled, but they couldn't catch him.

Li Xian has been hunting since childhood and is extremely skilled in close combat in the forest.

"Although the formation is powerful, it requires the cooperation of many people. We only need to lead them by the nose to render them useless."

Li Xian's longsword was stained with blood as he slew several more people. Finally, he saw the sea of flowers in Fragrant Chaos Mountain, which was indeed as beautiful as a fairyland.

Wildflowers bloom everywhere, vying for attention. In the distance, towering mountains rise and winding rivers meander. Colorful mist hangs in the air, its fragrance filling the air and soothing the soul.

Throughout her life, Wen Caishang had seen many beautiful sights. But now, after experiencing numerous dangers and witnessing a sea of flowers, this feeling was incomparable to anything she had ever felt before.

Li Xian, completely uninhibited, shouted loudly, "Excellent! It was worth fighting to the death for you!"

"Madam, is it beautiful here?"

Wen Caishang said, "So beautiful. But we're going to die." Having been seduced by Li Xian, they had thrown their lives to the back of their minds.

Li Xian ran wildly, admiring the flowers and mist, and observing the terrain out of the corner of his eye. High mountains stood on all sides, with cliffs and precipices, towering over a hundred feet high, resembling a cage between heaven and earth.

There is only one river flowing outwards. The river flows ceaselessly, but its current is not fast.

Li Xian thought to himself, "Although this river is long, the current is very slow. If I escape by boat, I won't be as fast as I can run on land. If I try to escape by diving, I'll be enveloped by the water, making it difficult to use my light-footed skills, and I'll become a sitting duck."

When the Fragrant Mist Flower bloom, they are accompanied by the spectacular sight of "colorful mist." When they grow all over the fields, it must be a place with abundant water and surrounded by mountains.

Otherwise, the pollen would disperse and be blown to all corners of the world, and the colorful mist would disappear. Li Xian ran extremely fast, creating a strong wind and raising the colorful mist.

Wen Caishang said, "You little rascal, you're really not afraid of death." She was both helpless and deeply moved.

Suddenly, an angry voice rang out from beyond the sea of flowers. "Hahaha, I thought this kid was cunning, but he's just a reckless fool."

"Why did you have to escape to this cage, this sea of flowers? You're truly trapped with nowhere to go!"

Su Qiuwu, Xi Kairen, Qian Jingpeng, Zhao Zhiyuan, Li Quan... have all arrived here.

It turned out that Li Xian's rampage had spread. Su Qiuwu, Xi Kairen, Qian Jingpeng, Zhao Zhiyuan, Li Quan, and others, who were each guarding a key point, received the signal and learned of Li Xian's whereabouts. Instead of pursuing him, they steadily approached according to plan, narrowing down the area.

No one encountered Li Xian along the way. Once outside the sea of flowers, the group met and completely trapped Li Xian.

Although the sea of flowers was vast and the scenery magnificent, the surrounding cliffs resembled a prison cell. As the Dust Settled, everyone's faces showed mixed emotions of joy and sorrow.

Hundreds of disciples behind her had already arrived at the formation. Wen Caishang murmured, "Even if I am unharmed, facing such an encirclement is troublesome. There is no way to escape from here."

Li Xian stood in the mist, arrogantly saying, "Hmph, a bunch of old fools. The mist here is so thick, do you think you can catch me?"

Seeing Li Xian carrying Wen Caishang on his back, the two looking so pitiful, a pair of star-crossed lovers, Su Qiuwu felt victory was within his grasp. He guessed, "Wen Caishang is unable to move; it seems she's helpless with her injuries. What trouble can a mere boy cause? She has nowhere to escape here; towering mountains surround her, making it difficult to leap over them with her light-footed skills. Jumping into the river would only trap her. But to be on the safe side, I might as well test her a little more."

He sneered, "You nameless gigolo, a worthless piece of trash, you used to kowtow and beg for mercy but could never even see me. Hmph, now you dare to boast and challenge me? You must have accumulated a lot of good karma in your past lives. Wen Caishang, you're so arrogant and invincible, hahaha, did you ever think of this day?"

Wen Caishang said coldly, " In the Jianghu martial arts, only the victor is king and the loser is villain. You are intelligent but lack strategy, strategic but lack courage, and courageous but lack wisdom. To be honest, you have never caught my eye. Even if I die today, I won't bother to give you a second glance."

Everyone was furious and wanted to argue, but felt powerless. It was dishonorable to join forces to attack. Both the newcomers and Wen Caishang had their own grievances, but they all admired her unparalleled beauty. The thought that Wen Caishang had looked down on them until her death left them with a lingering resentment.

Su Qiuwu said, "Hmph, capture him alive! I'll crush all your pride! Then we'll see if you'll still respect us."

"As for that gigolo, I killed him with one blow; he was too much of an eyesore!"

Su Qiuwu turned and said, "Brother Zhao, Brother Li, please join forces." Zhao Zhiyuan said, "Of course!" Li Quan snorted coldly, "You opportunistic scoundrel!" Annoyed by Su Qiuwu's changed attitude, he still said, "Attack!"

These individuals shared similar thoughts and harbored reservations, so they repeatedly ordered their subordinates to test the waters. Hundreds of disciples from the Yellow Sand Sect, Sword Rain Tower, and Tranquil Heart Sect, upon hearing the command, formed ranks and pressed into the sea of flowers.

Colorful mist swirled, obscuring the view.

Seeing the extremely fierce attack, Li Xian swept his leg, unleashing tremendous force. Dozens of people gasped in surprise, covering their faces with their arms.

Colorful mist danced in the air.

Li Xian unleashed the "Mist Locks the Jianghu" move of the Vastmist Leg. The Vastmist Leg is inspired by "a vast lake with misty waves," where white mist shrouds the lake, making its surface appear and disappear, as if sealed off by the mist.

Although this place is not in the lake, the colorful mist is thick and hangs in the sky, creating a similar effect. Li Xian's use of this move is like "hostly hospitality," fully demonstrating his home-field advantage.

The Yellow Sand Sect set up the "Sand Manipulation Locking Spirit Formation," the Sword Rain Tower set up the "Sword Rain Flying Sword Formation," and the Tranquil Heart Sect set up the "Bear-Wolf-Tiger-Leopard Formation." The formations were complex and incorporated profound theories. Although they did not coordinate with each other, they were all extremely powerful formations.

Seeing the overwhelming and unstoppable killing intent, Li Xian remained calm and skillfully maneuvered using the colorful mist.

The formation relies heavily on coordination, but it also fails because of coordination... Mutual restraint, like being bound in shackles, inevitably leads to clumsiness. Although Li Xian carried Wen Caishang on his back, he had mastered lightness skills, gathering seven Inner Qi to create Light Force. His body was as light as a feather, and with the characteristics of "Gentle Clearwind Leg" and "Vastmist Leg," he dodged into the mist to evade the attack.

Despite the enemy's large numbers and strong formation, they were unable to defeat him. They were skillfully restrained by him, as if being toyed with by monkeys.

It's a pity that such a beautiful sea of flowers has been trampled and left in ruins. The colorful mist grows thicker, and the fragrance of the flowers fills the air, attracting poisonous bees.

Screams rose and fell, and for a moment they were in a sorry state. A disciple of the Sword Rain Tower, holding a sharp longsword, plunged into the mist and cursed, "You villain, die!" He had several large bumps on his head and was dizzy from being dazzled by the flowery mist.

Li Xian laughed and said, "Here, have this." With a flick of his wrist, he caught a wisp of floral mist, channeled his Qi, and threw it at the person's face. The floral mist entered the brain through the nasal cavity.

He rolled his eyes and fainted instantly.

Li Xian moved with ease, darting about. As the crowd trampled him, they stirred up a rising mist of flowers, which grew increasingly dense.

Outside the sea of flowers, Su Qiuwu frowned and cursed, "How could such a person have wasted so much of my time?"

Fog obscured their vision nearby, while bees swarmed from afar. The disciples were exhausted from defending themselves, and their formation began to crumble. One of them shouted, "Forget about the formation, let's capture that kid first!" and scattered to chase after him.

However, since the three sects were all gathered here, they were not very familiar with each other and had no tacit understanding. Just now, while maintaining their formation, they could still distinguish one another from the other. Now, in the chaos, who knows who Li Xian is?

In this way, Li Xian cleverly used the terrain to turn the disadvantage of being outnumbered into the advantage of being outnumbered.

The group was in dire straits, yet they were trapped in a predicament. The sea of flowers stretched far and wide, filled with a chaotic mix of people, and shrouded in thick fog. The commotion was intense, and it was difficult to discern directions; escaping this place was now extremely difficult.

Xi Kairen was anxious and helpless. He tried to give instructions, but his disciples were in a state of panic and unable to listen. He cursed, "What a cunning brat!"

Su Qiuwu, Li Quan, Zhao Zhiyuan, and the others looked grim, all feeling that they had damaged the clan's prestige. They had tried to catch a turtle in a jar, but the turtle had toyed with them. Like a cornered beast, they struggled desperately, but they couldn't catch it for a long time.

They pondered, "This boy has been following Wen Caishang for some time, so he must have learned some tricks. Although we have many disciples, none of us are outstanding. The terrain here doesn't offer an advantage in capturing him. If I personally take action, capturing him will be easy. But I fear that Wen Caishang may still be holding back some of her strength."

"If I fight to the death and lose my life, who can I complain to?"

The five hesitated, secretly observing each other, remaining silent. After a while, Su Qiuwu said, "Brother Li, you displayed extraordinary martial prowess and divine might when you captured the demoness last time. However, due to carelessness, she escaped again. Now, with such a golden opportunity, why not show off your skills and capture the demoness a second time to prove your strength?"

Li Quan was easily provoked, but he harbored a deep dislike for Su Qiuwu. Had someone else invited him, he might have acted impulsively and charged into the sea of flowers. But now he said, "Hmph, Brother Su, you talk a good game, but I haven't seen you lift a finger. You're a master strategist with foresight. If you did it yourself, you'd be guaranteed victory. Why make me get involved?"

"Brother Zhao?" Su Qiuwu turned and said when he saw that Li Quan refused.

Zhao Zhiyuan sneered, "Su Qiuwu, you don't need to scheme against me. Li Quan can see through your scheming, but do you think I can't?"

After a long silence, Qian Jinghao said, "Since that's the case, the five of us will join forces to capture and kill her. No one needs to hold a grudge, so that we don't let that vixen get away with it."

Su Qiuwu said, "Alright!" Li Quan, Zhao Zhiyuan... all had no objections. They exchanged a glance and charged into the fog!

Wen Caishang said in a deep voice, "These people have barely reached the Third Realm, and in my eyes, they are all insignificant. But right now, you can't even handle one of them."

Li Xian laughed, "I'm just afraid they won't come." He ran off at full speed. Li Quan was incredibly fast, closing in in the blink of an eye and pressing down with his palm.

Li Xian grabbed a person next to him and threw him at Li Quan. With a bang, blood mist spread, which was quite terrifying. Li Xian drew his long sword and thrust out the "Setting Sun Like Blood" Waning Sun Blood-Draining Sword.

Li Quan's Martial Dao cultivation far surpassed Li Xian's. However, he felt that Setting Sun Like Blood extremely exquisite and profoundly mastered, and with Wen Caishang behind him, he was always hesitant to use any ruthless moves.

Li Xian swept across the scene as he laughed, "You damned eunuch, look at everyone else, they all used you as the first to charge!"

Li Quan shrank back and saw that Su Qiuwu and the others were deliberately slowing down and keeping a great distance, intending to watch the show. Li Quan was both angry and annoyed, and his intention to attack immediately diminished.

Seizing the opportunity, Li Xian leaped into the air, his figure rising several feet higher. The seven clusters of Inner Qi Inner Qi by the "Seven-Star Step" burst open at his tailbone. Li Xian stepped on the air, his figure rising several feet higher still.

Although Li Quan was furious at his companion's cunning, seeing that Li Xian was about to make a big move and worried that he might devise another dangerous scheme, he didn't care about anything else and leaped to grab him.

Wen Caishang frowned and sneered, "Take this!"
