The Blade-Wielding Legend-Chapter 1383 - 715: Five Dao General, Chang’an Ghost Market

"Still trying to escape?"

Li Yan's eyes flashed with a cold light, and his figure shot out like an arrow leaving the bowstring.

At this moment, nothing could obstruct the Yin Department soldiers from descending smoothly!

The surroundings were instantly swallowed by thick darkness. The damp ground that had just been rained upon was frozen in an instant by the chilling Sha Qi from the Netherworld, turning into a sheet of crystalline ice.

The roaring Demonic Qi was incredibly fast, eerily hiding within the curtain of night.

Behind, the dark area where the Yin Department soldiers spread also expanded rapidly.

Li Yan tightly gripped the Hook Paper, his finger technique swiftly changing to maintain the spell, while his feet simultaneously exerted force.

"Boom!" The ground exploded with a resounding noise, and he shot up like a cannonball, instantly leaping onto the opposite courtyard wall, his movement technique as fast as thunderbolt, using the "Eight Steps to Catch Cicada," relentlessly pursuing.

The Demonic Qi had been locked in, escape was hopeless.

But Li Yan's goal was far beyond this.

The old lair of the "Nine Gates Yin Ruins" was broken, Zhao Qingxu sneaked five Demonic Qi into the Capital, perhaps lurking nearby!

As long as the opponent uses the "Earth Official's Absolution of Sins Treasure Decree," he can seize the chance to strike again.

Previously in Jinmen, after capturing the Outer Realm Demonic Qi, he gained a Divine Astral and an Astral Order.

Remaking the "Five Directions Luo Feng Flag" not only requires an excellent carrier but also needs to gather five Gang Orders, so he saved them for future use—but if he could defeat Zhao Qingxu, it would be worth it!

The Capital in the deep night was shrouded in a dead silence.

Li Yan dashed across the rooftops of varying heights, with only the rushing wind echoing in his ears.

Though his speed was as swift as a meteor, compared to the flying Yin soldiers, he was still a bit slower.

Looking up, the ink-dark sky swept over the night, and the scattered star glimmers were entirely swallowed, with the hanging lanterns extinguishing one after another.

Meanwhile, that Demonic Qi was already nearing the Xuanwu Gate!

Nine Gates Yin Ruins!

Li Yan instantly comprehended the intention of the Demonic Qi.

The "Nine Gates Yin Ruins" is a spatial layer, where the scenes change unpredictably, mixed with projections from different eras, making it easy to get lost; the Capital's Nine Gates are the entrance.

This moment is precisely midnight, the time when the gates open!

Others find it hard to enter, but for the shapeless Demonic Qi, it is unimpeded.

Thinking of this, Li Yan felt anxious.

If he wants to enter the "Nine Gates Yin Ruins," he must prepare in advance, with the Yin Soul patrol.

Once the Demonic Qi slipped inside, he'd be forced to wait helplessly.

If Zhao Qingxu uses the "Earth Official's Absolution of Sins Treasure Decree" inside, then even the Yin soldiers must retreat! 𝚏𝗿𝗲𝐞𝐰𝚎𝕓𝐧𝚘𝘃𝗲𝐥.𝐜𝚘𝕞

Swish~

In a flash, Li Yan shook his left arm without hesitation!

The Copper Coin on the "Thousand Thoughts" arm guard suddenly hummed, and the surrounding Yin Wind roared fiercely, gathering like a tornado.

"I am not of an ordinary body, the true essence of the North Emperor. My head like dark clouds, my hair like chaotic stars. Above to the Yang Realm, below throughout the Netherworld. Ten directions of the world, thick with Evil Qi..." Li Yan chanted a mantra, and the vast Sha Qi gathered by "Thousand Thoughts" instantly enveloped him layer by layer.

In the swirling Sha Qi, his body rapidly expanded and twisted in the black mist, transforming into a tall, vague humanoid shadow.

This was the "North Emperor Divine Transformation Scripture": Yin God Transformation!

Whoosh~

After transforming into the Yin God's body, Li Yan immediately felt light as a feather, his speed skyrocketing.

Like a black lightning tearing through the night sky, he dashed straight towards the Xuanwu Gate!

All this happened in the blink of an eye.

In the Yin God's state, the distance between Li Yan and the Demonic Qi shortened rapidly.

Faster still was the Yin Department soldiers, who reached the Xuanwu Gate's exterior almost simultaneously with the Demonic Qi.

Success! Li Yan felt slightly reassured.

He could already clearly hear the haunting sound of the Yin soldiers' armor clashing and chains swinging in the darkness.

Besieged from all sides, surrounded, that Demonic Qi had nowhere to fly!

But right at this moment, an extremely powerful yet unusually subtle cold aura abruptly appeared.

This aura was not unfamiliar to him,

It was the Five Dao General!

The Demonic Qi caused trouble, prompting the Yin Si Divine General, entrusted with capturing, to take action, entirely predictable.

However, this time the aura was deep and magnificent, far exceeding past encounters—making him unable to gauge its depths...

Could it be... the true form descending?!

Li Yan was startled and suspicious, and the mutation followed abruptly.

The Five Dao General's majestic aura suddenly expanded.

All the Yin Department soldiers, about to pounce on the Demonic Qi, froze in their tracks!

In this critical pause, the Demonic Qi "whoosh" slipped into the heavy shadow of the Xuanwu Gate, utterly disappearing.

What...?!

Li Yan's pupils contracted, his sword-like eyebrows raised, incredulous.

No time to contemplate, the streets in his field of vision bizarrely twisted and stretched! Like a space compressed by invisible hands, the Xuanwu Gate enlarged before him, then suddenly transformed into a bottomless blackness.

Opening his eyes again, the scene around had turned upside down.

The sky dim and murky, sun and moon nowhere in sight.

Only broken walls, decayed dwellings, faintly visible in the thick fog...

This is the "Nine Gates Yin Ruins"!

Was his yin soul forcibly drawn in?

The bone-chilling cold pierced straight to the top of his spine.

Li Yan instantly unsheathed his blade, its icy edge pointing defensively at the swirling fog around, cautiously scanning.

The Five Dao General!

It directly pulled him in, leading him into this densely packed Grotto Heaven.

What on earth was this guy intending...

A terrifying thought exploded in Li Yan's mind, making him feel frozen to the bone.

Could it be... the Five Dao General is also a Divine supporting "Jianmu" in the Daluo Law Realm?

Swish~

Suddenly, from the depths of the distant fog came a tidal roar!

Through the shadowy outlines, a unit of soldiers emerged in the mist—tattered, ancient banners hanging slack, various worn and corroded armor draped over bizarre figures: beast-headed human-bodied ferocity, faces of ghostly pallor, and grotesque bleeding creatures atop skulls...
