Chapter 374 The price of a bloody battle (two chapters in one)
"My body has been chopped into pieces so many times, and yet you can still maintain the state of the elemental body. You really surprise me!" Liu Yuancheng said.
"This fight with each other and you also made me aware of the gap between myself and the practitioners at the beginning of the third stage." Lin Li responded.
“You are no match for me, you should know this in your heart.
If you continue to fight, when your spiritual energy cannot maintain the state of the elemental body, you will lose. For a moment... So, surrender as soon as possible! There is no need to make yourself very embarrassed," Liu Yuancheng said.
"Haha..." Lin Li couldn't help but smile when he heard the other party persuade him to surrender again, "I told you before, surrender is not an option for me, you don't have to persuade me anymore."
"Why bother? From what you just said, I can tell that you are not a vicious person at heart.
Our City Lord You are wise and powerful, and you recruit talents. The strength you showed in your fight with me just now is enough to prove that you are a talent.
As long as you are willing to surrender, I will recommend you to the Lord of the City later, and you will definitely have merit. If you have the qualifications to atone for your sins, you can get a public position in the city lord's palace after a few years, why not?" Liu Yuancheng advised.
What he said was sincere and not half false. The exchange and confrontation just now made him cherish talents in his heart.
If it were anyone else, faced with this situation, they would definitely be moved by Liu Yuancheng's words and give up resistance.
Nai He Lin Li is not a native of this world, and his thoughts are very different from those of people in this world.
In addition, he has the means to escape, so Liu Yuancheng's words cannot move him at all and make him give up resistance.
"It's getting late, it's time for me to leave... Later, help me tell the people of the Red Blood Gang that as long as their Red Blood Gang still exists, I will come to visit them again." Lin Li Speaking of which, ignore Liu Yuancheng's solicitation.
After a fierce battle, only a quarter of Lin's psychic energy was left.
If he continued to fight, he would be defeated sooner or later, so he decided to retreat first and not be in a hurry to deal with the Red Blood Gang. He had plenty of time to spend with the opponent.
In Dongwu City, as long as Liu Yuancheng, who works in the city lord's palace, starts to recruit, except for some children of aristocratic families, others will definitely flock to him.
But the guy in front of him who didn't dare to show his true colors kept denying him face again and again, which made him quite dissatisfied.
"Hmph..." Liu Yuancheng saw that Lin Li completely ignored his solicitation, and immediately snorted, "What? Are you ready to stop fighting and want to escape?"
"It's not about running away, I This is a retreat..." Lin Li said, then looked around and found the fire extinguishers and guards in the distance, their eyes were all focused on him at the moment.
"Hahaha..." Liu Yuancheng was amused by Lin Li's remarks and mocked.
“It’s not about escaping, it’s about retreating, okay okay... Ever since I broke through to the early stage of the third stage, no thug has ever been able to escape from my hands. I want to see how you can 'retreat' from me. "
"That's it! I'm so sorry, I'm going to break your excellent record today." Lin Li ignored Liu Yuancheng's sarcasm and turned around and ran towards the fire.
"Crackling..."
In the raging fire scene, the building collapsed due to the fire, making bursts of noise.
Occasionally, a gust of wind would blow up the fire.
If there were no fire extinguishers to suppress the raging fire in the fire, these blazing flames would have expanded its claws unscrupulously, covering all places under its rule.
Such a terrifying and dangerous fire scene, ordinary people would not dare to approach it, let alone run into it.
“What is he going to do?”
“No?”
"This thug is going to enter the fire!!!"
The fire extinguishers and guards who had been watching Lin Li's movements saw Lin Li running towards the fire. At first, they were confused about what the thug wanted to do, but soon they Then there is the answer.
I saw Lin Li rushing into the fierce fire scene without hesitation. For the terrifying flames that others could avoid, Lin Li in the state of elemental body could ignore it.
Liu Yuancheng frowned when he saw Lin Li rushing into the fire scene, his figure blending into the raging flames, and his position could no longer be observed with the naked eye.
However, although it cannot be observed with the naked eye, mental perception can still locate Lin Li's location.
Taking off into the air, Liu Yuancheng quickly flew over the fire field. A rolling heat wave hit his face, making him unable to lower his flying altitude. He could only stay in a safe area above the fire field to observe.
Even if he is a practitioner in the early stage of the third level and uses spiritual energy to cover his body surface and forcefully rush into the fire, he can only last for a few minutes.
To use such a method, the price to pay is not small, so he would not risk entering a fire scene like a sea of fire to capture Lin Li unless it was absolutely necessary.
“If your plan is to escape into the fire, use the sea of fire as a cover, and then successfully 'retreat', then your wishful thinking will eventually fail...
Three The mental power perception of a first-level practitioner is much stronger than that of a second-level practitioner. Your elemental body is emitting spiritual energy fluctuations all the time
Although I cannot observe your figure with my naked eyes, with my mental perception, I know your location clearly.
Surrender! You can't slip out of my grasp...eh? ? ? How is that possible? ! ! ! "
As Liu Yuancheng spoke, he suddenly froze for a moment. He was confused at first, and then showed an expression of disbelief on his face.
"The psychic fluctuations disappeared? He couldn't have exhausted all his spiritual energy, and the state of the elemental body was forced to be released, and then... No, it was impossible. If he was burned to death by the fire, how could he not scream at all before he died. ”
In Liu Yuancheng’s perception, the target that he had been targeting disappeared in an instant, which made him very puzzled.
Then, he immediately ordered the members of the fire-fighting team to put out the fire with all their strength.
After several hours of hard work, the fire that burned down the Red Blood Gang’s base camp was finally put out.
Black smoke curled up, and the ground was covered with turbid sewage. Liu Yuancheng stood at the last location where his target had existed.
I looked around and found no burnt bodies.
"How could he escape?" Liu Yuancheng thought for a long time and couldn't figure out how Lin Li disappeared. In the end, he couldn't help laughing.
"The Lord of the City is right! Don't say too much, otherwise you will be slapped in the face."
Afterwards, Liu Yuancheng told the guards who rushed to the scene and asked them to carefully investigate the incident of the Red Blood Gang. Assault case.
Once you have the news, tell him as soon as possible, and then he will fly away and go home.
…………
On the mysterious island surrounded by white mist, a figure made of flames appeared out of thin air.
Back on the mysterious island, with a thought in Lin Li's heart, the state of the elemental body was immediately lifted, and he changed from the inhuman state back to the human form.
After Lin Li returned to his human form, he suddenly felt exhausted. A battle with a practitioner at the beginning of the third stage was a huge drain on him, both spiritually and physically.
Looking towards the south of the mysterious island, Lin Li couldn't help but mutter to himself that there was a two-meter-tall tree with fan-shaped leaves and fruits that looked like small tomatoes.
"If I want to defeat that guy just now regardless of the cost, that's okay, but it's not necessary."
With a thought, Lin Li disappeared from the place in an instant and appeared in a tree full of spiritual fruits. In front of Lingzhi.
He reached out and picked three small tomato-like spiritual fruits from the branches of the spiritual plant, stuffed them directly into his mouth, and ate them.
Not only does this spirit fruit look like a small tomato, it even tastes similar... Lin Li ate three spirit fruits. After a while, he felt that the spirit fruits in his stomach were constantly releasing spiritual energy. . Use the little spiritual energy in your Dantian to absorb all the spiritual energy released by the spirit fruit.
After a while, the slightly empty Dantian recovered most of its spiritual energy.
Just as Lin Li said just now, in terms of overall combat strength in a battle with Liu Yuancheng, with his second-level peak cultivation level, he will definitely not be able to defeat Liu Yuancheng.
However, if he competes with the opponent in the form of an elemental body, he can quickly recover his spiritual energy by eating spiritual fruits, thereby exhausting Liu Yuancheng's spiritual energy and win the final victory.
But there is no need to do this, because his goal is to defeat the Red Blood Gang and fight Liu Yuancheng, but he just wanted to see the gap between himself and the practitioners in the early stage of the third stage on a whim.
After a fierce battle, when the spiritual energy is almost consumed, you can stop and retreat. There is no need to waste precious spiritual fruits and fight the opponent to the end.
Lin Li ate the spiritual fruit, which restored most of his spiritual energy to his empty Dantian. The uncomfortable feeling disappeared, and he left the mysterious island and returned to his home in Blue Star.

In Dongwu City, there is a magnificent mansion not far from the city lord's palace. There is a plaque hanging on the main door that says Zhao Mansion.
There are many pavilions and pavilions in this mansion, which makes people dazzled.
If someone who is a fool enters the mansion, they will probably lose their way in a short while.
There is a garden in a corner of the mansion, with various exotic flowers and plants planted in the garden.
The variety is rare to see on the market. It was obviously bought from merchants who came to Dongwucheng from all over the country at a high price.
Two pretty little maids walked into the garden carrying tea and cakes, and walked on the cobblestone path to the pavilion in the garden.
An expensive psychic chandelier hangs in the pavilion. Under the bright light, sitting in front of the stone table is a handsome man with a tall and straight body, a fair face and sharp edges, wearing luxurious clothes.
The two maids walked into the pavilion carrying tea and pastries, and put the things in their hands on the stone table. When they left, they secretly glanced at the handsome man who was reading a book.
After the two maids left, a man wearing a servant's clothes, 1.9 meters tall and burly, walked quickly into the garden and walked towards the pavilion.
"Tap, step, step..."
Hearing the rapid footsteps, the handsome man still looked at the ancient book in his hand.
"Young Master." The burly servant walked into the pavilion and greeted him respectfully.
"Zhao Chuan, why are you in such a hurry? What happened?" Zhao Haoyu, the young master of the Zhao family, asked his trusted servant in a calm tone.
“Master Qi, Li Mi would like to see you.” Zhao Chuan replied.
"Oh, him!" After hearing the servant's answer, Zhao Haoyu didn't remember who Li Mi was for a while.
He thought about it seriously and then remembered that the other party was a civilian who had recently recommended himself to him and wanted to do things for him.
"How did you go when I asked him to go to Bibo Lake to hunt for treasure?"
"..."
Zhao Chuan was silent for a moment, and then answered To, "Failed."
"Failed? Such a simple thing would fail. What a waste." Zhao Haoyu said calmly.
With his identity and status, as well as the wealth he possesses, he does not look down upon the property obtained from the treasure hunt in Bibo Lake.
He asked Li Mi to go to Bibo Lake to hunt for treasure, just to test his ability.
As a result, after so many days, Li Mi failed, which made him feel that this civilian who volunteered to join him was not qualified to be his subordinate.
Zhao Chuan, who had served Zhao Haoyu for many years, naturally knew what his young master was thinking now, so he quickly told Zhao Haoyu what he knew from Li Mi.
“Master, this time Li Mi’s failure in hunting for treasure is actually excusable.
Originally, he had defeated other treasure-hunting teams and was about to obtain the spirit stone mine collected by the White-scaled Drill Rat, but..."
After Zhao Haoyu heard what happened from his close servant, he turned his eyes from his hand He took back the ancient book, turned to look at his trusted servant, and said
"Half of the men were lost, what a huge loss...? "
"Yes! If it hadn't been for that man attracting the swarm of centipedes, Li Mi would definitely be able to complete the task assigned by you, young master. "
"There is really nothing we can do when encountering such a thing, but he still failed to complete the test I gave him after all..."
"Master, Li Mi really wants to do things for you, Master. He failed to complete the test this time. We might as well give him another chance."
Zhao Haoyu smiled when he saw his trusted servant interceding. He smiled and said, "You! You are so kind to your childhood playmate."
"..." Zhao Chuan lowered his head and said nothing. At this time, Zhao Haoyu said.
"Okay, for your sake, I will give him another chance. You go out and tell him, let him go back first, and I will tell him when I need to test him again..."
"Yes." Zhao Chuan was very happy to see that his master was willing to give his childhood playmate another chance. Just as he was about to leave, he went to tell Li Mi, who was waiting outside the mansion, the good news. When he came, Zhao Haoyu called out to him.
"Wait a moment."
"Master, what are your orders?"
"Tomorrow morning, you can find a way to find out whether Miss Zhu's family has any plans to leave the house recently." Zhao Haoyu ordered.
Hearing this, a flash of hesitation flashed across Li Mi's face, and he said, "Master, I told you to pursue the daughter of the city lord and stop thinking about Miss Zhu's family.
You will be able to lift your grounding in a few days. If I let the master know that you are stubborn, I am afraid that your grounding time will be extended. ”
"..." Zhao Haoyu remained silent and did not answer the words of his close servant.
"Alas..." Upon seeing this, Zhao Chuan knew that Zhao Haoyu had a firm attitude, so he sighed and said, "Okay, young master, I will help you find out about Miss Zhu's recent itinerary tomorrow."< br>
After saying that, he turned and left.
When Zhao Haoyu was the only one left in the pavilion, he murmured to himself.
“Although Li Qian, who thinks all about cultivation and competing with others, is very beautiful, how can she compare to the gentle and gentle Zhu Xinru!”
Recalling Zhu Xinru's gentle temperament and her smiles in his mind, Zhao Haoyu felt that his heart was about to melt.
“When my grounding time is over, dad will definitely send someone to monitor my movements.
As Zhao Chuan said just now, once the person monitoring me finds out that I go to Zhu Xinru , I will definitely report this situation to Dad as soon as possible
In the quiet pavilion, there are rumors from time to time. A grunt echoed with the chirping of insects in the flowers surrounding the pavilion.
