Chapter 90 A Crushing Defeat
A familiar feeling welled up in Li Dachui's heart, and he was greatly shocked.

The cold light seemed extremely far away, yet it arrived in an instant. At first, it was just a bright spot, but the next moment, Li Dachui could see its entirety.

It's an icicle.

It's like an icicle that you casually break off from a tree branch or under a rock.

"careful!"

Li Dachui's half-sheathed Minghong Blade flashed out again, and he suddenly lunged forward, raising the blade to slash at the ice spike.

The icicle was aimed at Xiao Changche.

With a single slash, a muffled thud was heard, and Li Dachui was tossed into the air like a ball, tumbling and rolling several times before finally landing on the ground.

The ice spike was cleaved in two by his blade. The rear half fell to the ground, while the front half seemed unaffected and continued to fly rapidly toward Xiao Changche.

Xiao Changche had already turned around at this moment.

Years of battlefield combat gave him a keen intuition for danger. Almost as soon as Li Dachui shouted "Be careful!", Xiao Changche felt a strong sense of alarm and his hair stood on end.

This feeling almost never returned after he achieved mastery of martial arts.

The most recent one was five years ago.

With both hands gripping the spear, he stood focused, and with a soft shout, thrust the spear straight forward.

Compared to the elaborate and varied gun techniques used in the earlier fights, this shot was extremely simple.

The tip of the gun collided with the tip of the ice pick.

The ice spike, which should have been fragile, should have shattered upon impact with the spear tip. However, the two seemed evenly matched; no, the ice spike had the upper hand.

Xiao Changche actually let out a muffled groan and took a step back, then a second step, and a third step.

It should be noted that Li Dachui had already blocked the ice spike for a moment.

The wind was rustling softly, and there was already another person beside me.

Li Dachui.

He reached out and grasped Xiao Changche's spear. The next moment, the spear, which had been retreating, finally came to a stop and then began to move forward.

The icicle shattered into countless fragments.

At the same time, Li Dachui grabbed Xiao Changche and whispered, "The wind's getting strong, let's get out of here!"

"Innate?" Xiao Changche asked in a deep voice.

"Innate!" Li Dachui's face twitched. This feeling was all too familiar to him.

Having fought Zhou Zhi countless times, no one knew the power of innate martial arts masters better than him.

The feeling of powerlessness when fighting against a master of innate talent can drive a person mad.

"Where did he come from? How could he have innate talent?" Xiao Changche was also a very decisive person. At this moment, he was running away with Li Dachui, not looking back at Tiele, who was already like fish on a felt board. Even now, Tiele was probably killed by a three-year-old child.

Even stepping on an ant takes a little time, and that little bit of time might be the key to escaping.

He wouldn't waste even a fraction of his escape time trying to kill Tiele.

"How should I know!" Li Dachui shouted, and a black shadow quickly approached them on the road. Beside the black shadow, inseparable from it, was naturally the Jade Lion Xiaobai.

"The person who gave you the information wants to harm you!" Xiao Changche said, "No, he wants to kill two birds with one stone, taking care of both you and Tiele!"

"Damn it, this is killing three birds with one stone! And you got dragged into it too!" Li Dachui said angrily, "If I escape alive today, I'll tear that scoundrel to pieces and feed him to the dogs!"

The two men leaped onto their horses and galloped away.

Only then did Li Dachui dare to look back.

Beside Tiele stood a man, tightly wrapped in a black robe, who was bending over to observe Tiele's condition.

When Li Dachui looked back, the man also turned his head at the same time and looked at Li Dachui.

Li Dachui let out a strange cry, immediately turned around, and slapped the horse's buttocks with his backhand.

This slap was no easy feat. Little Black let out a neigh, seemingly sensing its master's anxiety and fear, and its four hooves almost left afterimages.

One in black, one in white, speeding away like the wind, their only thought was to get away from this place as quickly as possible.

"He's catching up!" Xiao Changche shouted, glancing back. "Li Dachui, we can't escape! Is this the power of a master of the Innate Realm?"

Li Dachui turned around, and the dark-skinned guy, without moving his head or swaying his shoulders, looked like a ghost, drifting towards them like the wind.

That speed was indeed faster than the warhorses they rode.

"Damn it, even an old man like me doesn't have that speed!" Li Dachui cursed.

Xiao Changche suddenly reined in his horse. With a long neigh, Xiao Bai reared up, spun half a circle, and landed, facing the pursuing enemy.

To Li Dachui's horrified gaze, Xiao Changche let out a long roar, brandished his spear, and spurred his horse straight towards the pursuing enemy. "Xiao Changche, you fucking court death!" Li Dachui cursed, "I'm not going to keep up with you!"

"Li Dachui, you can go now. I'll hold them off for you. So what if you're a Xiantian? If someone is a Xiantian and they're blocking my way, I'll still go and kill them!" Xiao Changche's voice was extremely sharp: "Even if I die, I won't be killed from behind."

"You son of a bitch, Xiao Changche, you're going to get me killed!" Li Dachui suddenly reined in his horse while fleeing. "You still owe me two million, you can't die. You surnamed Xiao, I'm coming to save you!"

The Minghong Blade seemed to sense the danger as well, and it rang out repeatedly.

Xiao Changche half-lay on the white lion Zhaoyu, channeling all his power into the spear in his hand. His Xuan Yuan Ninth Rank strength was on full display at this moment, and the entire spear trembled slightly. At the spear blade, a blue halo rippled outward like water, and then formed a half-foot-long blue light in front of the spear tip.

This shot was a one-way trip.

This shot is unyielding, it will break rather than bend.

Just like Xiao Changche's personality, he lived life to the fullest, even at the cost of death.

Even if it meant death, he hoped the fatal wound would be on his chest rather than his back.

The black shadow stopped.

The man stopped abruptly, faster than a galloping horse, without any transitional movement.

He raised one hand.

He extended one finger.

That single finger gently and skillfully touched the tip of Xiao Changche's imposing spear.

The surging waves crashed against the extremely hard reefs, then rolled back.

With a mournful cry, the jade lion knelt on all fours. Xiao Changche shouted and leaped off his horse, bracing the butt of the spear with his other hand.

The man seemed to chuckle softly, and then Xiao Changche could no longer hold on. His spear crashed back with a muffled thud, and Xiao Changche flew back like a leaf blown by the wind.

The man opened his palm and grabbed in the air, immediately halting Xiao Changche's backward flight and pulling him back.

"Break it for me!"

With a roar, Li Dachui leaped high into the air, surpassing Xiao Changche in mid-air, and slashed at empty space with his sword.

The sound of tearing silk rang out continuously, and Xiao Changche fell to the ground in mid-air, landing right behind Li Dachui.

Li Dachui gripped the Minghong Blade tightly with both hands, raising it high, his feet one in front of the other, his eyes fixed on the person in front of him.

"Xiao Changche, can you still get up?" Li Dachui asked in a low voice.

"Yes!" The voice from behind made Li Dachui feel a little relieved. He wasn't dead yet. With the two of them working together, the hope of survival seemed to have crawled from the ground onto the bamboo mat, gaining just a tiny bit more.

The person in front was quite tall, and although she was covered in a black robe, judging from her figure, she should be a woman.

When did a female master of innate talent appear in the area outside the Great Wall, or rather in the Northern Yuan?
There's not a single word from them!
Generally speaking, people are afraid that others won't know about such powerful weapons as innate masters, and if someone has one, they will definitely make it public.

Like nuclear weapons, this object has a tremendous deterrent effect.

Since everyone has it, everyone will be wary of each other and dare not use such strategic weapons casually.

There's no family that clearly has a master with innate talent, yet keeps it hidden.

If Li Dachui had known earlier that Tiele had a master of innate talent by his side, he would never have dared to target Tiele. Even if he had, he would have brought Zhou Zhi with him.

Now, the information gap has put the two of them in a deadly situation.

The woman in black on the other side spoke up; it was indeed a woman.

"Is someone who practices the Heaven-Slaying Technique a descendant of that scoundrel Li Muye?" The woman in black's eyes fell on Xiao Changche: "So young, yet he's already reached the ninth rank of the Profound Origin Realm?"

“I’m no relation to Li Muyi, my surname is Xiao!” Xiao Changchedao.

The woman snorted coldly, ignoring Xiao Changche, and instead looked at Li Dachui: "How did this southern demon brat who cultivates the Qi of Heaven and Earth end up outside the pass? And he's even mixed up with the people who practice the Heaven-Slaying Technique? That's strange. Shouldn't you be mortal enemies?"

"How do you know I practice the Qi of Heaven and Earth?" Li Dachui asked in horror. "But I'm not some demon cub. I grew up outside the Great Wall. My father is Zhou Zhi, the lord of Tai'an City!"

At this moment, Li Dachui disregarded his shame and directly brought up Zhou Zhi, hoping that the other side would not kill them all in time, considering that everyone was a master of innate level. Otherwise, if they killed us today, Zhou Zhi would definitely go crazy tomorrow and would inevitably go to Beiyuan to take revenge. Then everyone would have a hard time.

But the woman in black's reaction made Li Dachui's heart sink to the bottom.

She looked up at the sky, seemingly deep in thought, "Zhou Zhi, never heard of him!"

Then, she lowered her head and looked at the two people opposite her: "One is a dog who practices the Heaven-Slaying Cultivation Technique, and the other is a demonic brat who practices the Universe Qi Cultivation Technique. They are both people I want to kill. I haven't encountered one of them in so many years, but today I've encountered two of them at once, and they've both cultivated to such a level. If I let you continue to live, I'm afraid you'll cause chaos in the world again. Hehe, haha, Heaven has not been unkind to me! I will kill you today to eliminate future troubles."

Amidst the laughter, her black robe billowed, and the black veil covering her face fluttered, revealing the woman's face.

What kind of face was that?
Li Dachui and Xiao Changche were both stunned.

"Blood Jade Skill!" Li Dachui shouted, "You are a descendant of the Dayong royal family."
