During the Qin Dynasty, he was in charge of the net.

Faced with this dense rain of water arrows, Bai Yifei's white horse paced restlessly.

The next moment, a huge ice wall rapidly rose in front of Bai Yifei, turning all the water arrows in front of him into ice shards.

However, there were too many water arrows, and quite a few still fell into the white-armored army behind Bai Yifei, causing continuous cries of agony.

When the rain of arrows ceased, Bai Yifei completely abandoned his contempt and scrutinized the man in black robes, asking, "Who exactly are you?!"

The opponent's strength is probably no less than his. Such a person would not appear out of thin air. Could it be the madman that the Nanyang prefect mentioned before who broke through the city wall and went on a killing spree inside the city?

However, he heard that the other party was a master swordsman whose blood energy was almost solidified, but did not possess such profound water control abilities.

However, Li Ji ignored Bai Yifei, because he discovered that Yan Lingji, who had just woken up, was struggling violently again, seemingly trying to escape while he was confronting Bai Yifei.

"If you move again, I guarantee you won't wake up again." Li Ji looked coldly at Yan Lingji, not stopping her, just watching her coldly.

Fighting Blood-Clad Marquis Bai Yifei with a burden on his shoulders, and having to worry about that burden escaping at any moment, Li Ji felt he didn't have that much patience.

"You!" Yan Lingji gritted her teeth. It was really unpleasant to have her life and death in someone else's hands, but given the current situation, she had no choice but to temporarily abandon her attempt to escape.

Seeing that Yan Lingji had stopped struggling, Li Ji then withdrew his gaze from her.

Bai Yifei's expression darkened as he looked at the two who had just ignored him. His cultivation technique, the Blood Ice Technique, required the nourishment of a young girl's blood, the more unique the blood, the better. Yan Lingji possessed the special bloodline of the Baiyue Fire Sacrifice Clan, so he would not give up on her.

Bai Yifei patiently said to Li Ji, "If you let her go now, you can leave."

Upon hearing this, Li Ji shook his head and said, "I paid a heavy price to capture her, so it's impossible for me to give her to you."

"So, you're determined to be my enemy?" Bai Yifei narrowed his eyes, and frost condensed into ice within a ten-foot radius around him.

Li Ji's eyes flickered slightly as he replied, "If I want to leave, you can't stop me."

"You think you can just walk away like that after killing my man?"

Seeing that the conversation was failing, Bai Yifei's eyes flashed with a cold light. He formed a hand seal, and his blood-red robes fluttered without wind, unleashing an even more terrifying chill. At the same time, he shouted:

"White-armored soldiers, form ranks!"

"drink!"

The remaining four hundred or so white-armored soldiers roared in unison, each of them unleashing bursts of chilling energy. Although each individual was not strong, their sheer number and the use of some secret military formation technique allowed them to continuously gather their chilling energy onto Bai Yifei.

Bai Yifei's aura surged instantly, and the frost behind him quickly condensed into a colossal object.

Then he pushed forward with both hands, and a cold ice bat with a wingspan of more than 20 meters and blood-red patterns roared and rushed towards Li Ji!

Wherever it passed, the ground froze and frost fell from the sky; its momentum was unstoppable.

Li Ji felt immense pressure, but his eyes remained calm.

With the help of the White Armor Army, the opponent's strength has increased several times over, making them truly difficult to resist.

But he wasn't without any help; the spring water beneath his feet, which he had once stirred up, could now be borrowed.

"Earth Spring! Rise!"

With a low shout, Li Ji activated the Seed of the Netherworld, which was spinning wildly in his dantian, as a fuse, instantly connecting him to the depths of the earth!

Rumble!

The earth trembled violently!

A large area of ​​ground behind Li Ji suddenly collapsed and exploded.

A massive, murky waterspout, more than ten times larger than any previous waterspout, burst forth from the ground.

A giant waterspout carrying mud and sand from the ground rushed towards Bai Yifei's ice bats.

boom!!!

A deafening roar ripped through the night sky, and the biting ice collided violently with the surging water.

Ice shards flew everywhere, and murky water splashed in all directions.

The terrifying impact ripped off a layer of the surrounding ground, and the nearby White Armor Army soldiers were thrown about.

For a moment, the water froze into ice, and then the ice melted back into water, creating a brief stalemate where neither side could gain the upper hand.

At this tense moment, a glint flashed in Li Ji's eyes.

Behind him, a large water-shaped hand restrained Yan Lingji, while he controlled a giant water tornado to fight against Bai Yifei's ice bats, seemingly having exhausted all his strength.

However, at this moment of stalemate, a second azure sailor, entirely formed from pure Netherworld Qi, silently emerged from beside Li Ji.

The azure sailor skimmed along the ground, bypassing the central area with astonishing speed, and lightning-fast grabbed at the three—the Corpse Demon, the Poison King, and the Peerless Ghost—who were frozen in frost and limp on the ground.

"Not good!" Bai Yifei noticed immediately. He didn't expect that this person would still have the energy to be distracted at such a moment. It was as if he didn't take him seriously at all.

Bai Yifei, his face grim, released a burst of icy power, transforming it into several sharp ice shards in an attempt to intercept the azure sailor.

Puff puff!

The icicle pierced the blue sailor with pinpoint accuracy, but the pierced sailor healed instantly like flowing water, without slowing down at all.

The Poison King was closest, and the Azure Sailor instantly grabbed him around the waist.

A fierce glint flashed in Bai Yifei's eyes. The other party not only wanted to leave with Yan Lingji, but also tried to snatch away the three from Baiyue. If the other party succeeded, wouldn't most of his plans over the past few days have failed?

Bai Yifei's aura then surged again, and an even stronger chill rushed toward the blue sailor, attempting to freeze the sailor along with the Hundred Poison King.

But Li Ji would not let him have his way. With a thought, the blue sailor that was holding the Hundred Poison King suddenly exploded, then shattered into dozens of extremely sharp high-pressure water arrows containing the true energy of the Netherworld.

Chi Chi Chi!

The water arrows scattered in all directions, half of them aimed at Bai Yifei to interfere, while the other half precisely enveloped Bai Duwang, forming a high-speed rotating water prison.

This water prison not only isolated the body from the cold air, but also carried a powerful dragging force, suddenly pulling the Hundred Poison King away from its original spot.

At the same time, the giant water tornado controlled by Li Ji suddenly unleashed its final power, forcibly swallowing the ice dragon before exploding into a shower of rain.

Taking advantage of this opportunity, Li Ji leaped forward, grabbed Yan Lingji, and, along with the Hundred Poison King trapped in the water prison, transformed into a streak of dark blue water light, shooting away from the royal tomb.

"Damn it! Stay here!" Bai Yifei roared, and his white horse neighed loudly.

With a wave of his hand, a dozen sharp ice spikes shot towards the beam of water like a torrential rain.

Puff puff!

Most of the ice spikes missed their mark, and a few struck the outer edge of the water, splashing water but failing to break it down.

The shimmering blue light moved incredibly fast, disappearing into the vast night in just a few flashes.

Only the frozen Corpse Demon and Peerless Ghost remained, along with the white-armored army scattered across the ground, and Bai Yifei, whose face was so gloomy it seemed to drip blood.

Under the moonlight, a tiny, dark red bloodstain was quietly seeping from the hem of Bai Yifei's blood-red robe.

The water arrows formed by the explosion of the blue-haired sailor caught him off guard. One of the water arrows hit his ribs, and although the external wound was very small, it impacted his internal organs.

Bai Yifei slowly raised his hand and wiped away a barely perceptible trace of blood from the corner of his mouth.

"This method of controlling water... I'll remember it."
