C10 Encounter

On a slope beside the official road, Li San and the rest were buried. Beside Li San, an old man with a beard and hair that was completely white closed his eyes and sat cross-legged on the ground, as if he was indifferent to his surroundings.

"Li San, is your news accurate?" "It has been more than an hour, why is there no one around?" After a while, the old man opened his eyes. He frowned, and turned to Li San and asked.

The old man was a rogue cultivator who coincidentally obtained a cultivation technique in a cave where a rogue cultivator passed away. He had cultivated for sixty years and had now reached the fourth level of Qi Refining.

The old man knew that his own talent was limited, so he thought of robbing low-level cultivators. It was because of this that he helped Li San to become a small leader of Yu Yuan City, acting as his spy.

"My lord, please wait a moment. They should be arriving soon." Li San immediately said, facing the person in front of him, he did not dare have any disrespect.

A month ago, Li San's men had found traces of Fang Yi and Mu Linger. They had followed closely behind and finally determined that the two of them were going to Shuangkou Town, so they had arrived at the destination of this road that they had to take in order to reach Shuangkou Town.

Suddenly, two figures the size of ants appeared in the distance.

A muscular man with sharp eyes immediately recognized the two of them as the two youths from before.

His eyes lit up as he whispered, "They're here!"

When everyone heard this, they hurriedly looked over. As the two gradually approached each other, their figures also gradually grew in size and completely appeared in front of everyone.

"Sir, it's the two of them!" Li San's spirit was roused, and he respectfully said to the old man beside him.

"Mm, once I've captured two people, I will definitely reward you well." The old man looked over to the official road, saw the two youngsters slowly walking over, and nodded his head, then turned and spoke to Li San.

"It's my honor to be of service to you." Li San said respectfully, but his expression was full of joy.

After the two of them walked in, the old man performed a few incantation gestures and pointed at the ground.

Fang Yi and Mu Linger were slowly walking on the public road. According to Mu Linger, the two of them would arrive at the Shuangkou Town before long.

Just then, the ground beneath the two of them shook, and suddenly a few rays of yellow light shot out from the ground, straight at Fang Yi and Yue Shan.

"Be careful!" Fang Yi's heart tightened as he flew up into the sky while pulling Mu Ling'er along. With light steps, they landed on an empty ground.

"Rock spikes!" Mu Linger was in a state of shock, her watery eyes opened wide, her face revealed a look of astonishment. If not for Fang Yi's help, her legs would have been crippled.

However, what worried Mu Linger the most was the person who cast the rock spike spell.

The Earth Element Spell was one of the more difficult beginner level spells to master. Rock spikes, earth walls and the like were techniques that could only be performed by cultivators above the 4th level of Qi Refinement.

These were all things that Mu Linger was only familiar with over the past month.

During this month, Mu Linger's cultivation had advanced by leaps and bounds. She had already reached the middle stage of the first level of Qi Refining and Fang Yi had even reached the peak of the second level.

When Mu Linger had reached the first layer of Qi Refining, Fang Yi had passed on all kinds of low level techniques that he knew to Mu Linger. But what shocked Fang Yi the most was that the effects of Mu Linger's other techniques were exactly the same as his own.

"Be careful." Fang Yi frowned slightly and whispered to Mu Linger. Judging from the spells the other party was using, it was clearly much stronger than the two of them.

"You have some skill." Several people walked out from a small slope to the side of the road. The old man in the lead spoke with a calm voice.

"It's all of you!" Fang Yi could tell at a glance that the man beside the old man was the one who had escaped earlier.

"Kid, you dare to kill my brother Li San? You're dead for sure!" Li San revealed a sinister look, and sneered at the two youths in front of him.

"I really shouldn't have let you go …" Fang Yi said coldly, killing intent flashing in his eyes.

"First level of the Qi Refining stage, second level of the Qi Refining stage, your talent is quite good. You must be considered a favored son of heaven in the clan, right? This old man doesn't want to make things difficult for you. Obediently teach all the magical items you have. I can spare your lives, or else …" The old man said indifferently, as if everything was under his control.

"I just wonder if you have the ability to do so." Fang Yi raised his left hand and pointed at the elderly man, then released a beam of golden light that shot towards the elderly man with a powerful force.

"Hmph!" Just as the golden light was about to hit the old man, he saw the old man snorted, and with both of his hands pressing on the ground, an earth wall suddenly rose up from the ground, blocking the old man, Li San and the rest.

"Bang!"

The golden light pierced the earth wall and with a light sound, it disappeared without a trace. On the other hand, there was only a palm-sized crack left on the wall.

"Condense the earth into a wall!" Mu Linger's bright eyes widened as a deep fear emerged within them.

To be able to use two earth type techniques in a row meant that the opponent was at least at the 4th level of Refinement.

"Be careful!" Fang Yi instructed Mu Linger before he pounced like a fierce tiger towards the old man.

"All of you, back away!"

It was obviously not easy for the old man to form an earthen wall to support his attack. After blocking the golden light, the old man immediately pulled back the wall.

Seeing Fang Yi rushing over, he shouted at the people behind him. Then, with a flick of his hands, five fireballs shot out, straight towards Fang Yi.

Seeing that the five fireballs were about to hit him, Fang Yi's hands suddenly pressed downwards, and then, a mud pillar that was as thick as an arm broke the ground, flying straight up, Fang Yi's hands pressed onto the top of the earth pillar, following that, his hands bent, borrowing the force of the five fireballs, he flew past them, like a fierce tiger rushing down the mountain, straight towards the old man.

"Condense the earth into a wall!" Mu Linger exclaimed once again.

Although Fang Yi's Condensed Soil Wall was only as thick as his arms, it could not really be considered an Earth Wall. However, she had truly displayed it, which was why Mu Linger was so astonished.

Hmph." Seeing that Fang Yi was actually able to use the weakening version of the Condensation Wall, the elder's pupils shrank. After that, he snorted and quickly took out a palm-sized blue sword from his storage belt. Without saying a word, he threw it out, and in a flash, it became a two-foot long sword that pierced towards Fang Yi.

"Flying sword!"
