Chapter 44: Chapter 44 The Battle in Synch with God_1
Li Xuan felt entirely powerless, as if he couldn’t bear the weight of these two inept team members.
But only a moment later, Li Xuan quickly used up all the usable talismans like Wind Walking Talisman and Divine Talisman from his pouch, and gripped his waist sword tightly, staring blankly at the face-veiled figure in purple from a distance.
“Everyone step back, the farther the better!”
He thought, as the superior of these two, he should bear the responsibilities that he ought to.
This wasn’t because Li Xuan possessed a spirit of fearless sacrifice and was willing to risk his own safety to protect others. It was because he was confident in not being hurt, with the Kuiniu luminous armor on him and the Nayuan Bead already filled with Zhenyuan vitality. He figured he could probably withstand several strikes from this Demoness Zidie.
As for after that, Li Xuan could only hope that members of the Liudao Division nearby would hurry over to reinforce him.
“But——” Yue Qianqian glanced at Li Xuan, then at Demoness Zidie, her face filled with hesitation — she thought it would seem wrong to abandon her boss and run away just like that, wouldn’t it?
Li Xuan frowned upon his, and then bellowed impatiently: “Stand back! Can’t you understand? Stop getting in the way.”
Yue Qianqian was instantly shocked, crestfallen. At the same time, Peng Fulai at her side already grabbed her arm hard and jumped off the rooftop with her.
“An exorcist from the Liudao Division?”

At this point, the face-veiled girl in purple was already skeptically sizing Li Xuan up with a piercing gaze. Her voice was as soft as Jiang Hanyun: “This skill of hiding one’s powers is quite impressive, you managed to hide your cultivation from me.”
Firstly, Li Xuan was confused, then he was overcome with helplessness.
The exorcists of the Liudao Bureau are generally of the peak cultivation of the Fourth House level, while some stronger ones can reach the Fifth House level. His qualifications as an exorcist are beyond unqualified, making him a joke of an exorcist.
But Li Xuan didn’t know that the face-veiled girl opposite him had already sensed a barely detectable sense of danger from him. This made the face-veiled girl’s eyes slightly twitch with caution.
“You practice the cold principle and Yin Sha power? Interesting! I didn’t know your Liudao Division had such a strong master.”
At this time, Li Xuan felt a slight prick of pain in his chest along with some numbness. Even if he were insensitive, he would know it had to be the doing of the red-clothed ghost lady behind him.
It must be this intimidating figure that misled the demoness with a wrongful judgment.
But in the current situation, this woman ghost of his was helpful to him indeed, at least delaying a bit of his time.
It looks like there’s something to play? I am weak and my enemy is strong, so I should bluff a bit.
With a slight heart movement, Li Xuan slightly leaned his body backward, staring at his enemy disdainfully, putting on a master’s haughty air, swaying his feet with an air of haughtiness: “Our Liudao Division is teeming with talents, it’s not for a demoness like you to fathom! You cannot escape today, demoness!”
In his past life’s memory, his older brother Li Yan had always had the same haughty demeanor.
“Unblushing lies!”
The face-veiled girl chuckled but felt all the more unclear. To her eyes, Li Xuan looked delicate, and didn’t hold himself up firmly, appearing completely unthreatening. But he was radiating a dangerous aura, especially the excess Cold Power that had even turned the rooftop icy.
Is this man unable to control the vitality in his body, or is he trying to intimidate? Is he a weakling or a master?
The girl was a bit uncertain, so she simply disappeared and moved to the left. When the pursuers from Duke Xuguo’s mansion were approaching, she didn’t want to be caught by anyone. Since she couldn’t figure out this person, she might as well avoid him. Considering speed alone, there weren’t many in Jinling City who could catch up with her, even when she was carrying a bag that weighed five to six thousand catties.
However, the next moment, her pupils contracted slightly. Just when her figure flickered, the exorcist on the other side ran in the same direction like a cat that was shaking off its fur.
“You this guy——” The face-veiled girl paused, her eyes becoming more serious, even a trace of wariness: “A prediction, huh? Seems like you do have some skill.”
Could this man have guessed the direction she would shift? Just this ability to sense and predict, it’s not something that a martial cultivator of the Fifth or Sixth House level can do.
Li Xuan blinked in confusion, trying to figure out what was going on. He had merely thought that this Demoness Zidie was trying to make a move, and he instinctively wanted to dodge to the side if anything. He had no intention of hindering her at all, and would love nothing more than for this demoness to leave him behind.
The next instant, he saw that purple figure flashing again. Li Xuan did not hesitate and instinctively sprinted to his right.
Left←, right→, right→, left←, left←, left←, right→.
About three breaths later, they were face-to-face once more, staring at each other in silence.
“Impressive!” The masked girl’s face, hidden behind a veil, was beginning to turn slightly green. “I don’t believe that you can actually stop me today.”
As she spoke, her figure deceived the eyes with a faint movement, just taking a few steps back and returning to the same place. Then, the girl saw Li Xuan standing completely still.
Inside, Li Xuan was cursing at the absurdity of it all. Moving doesn’t work? And keeping still doesn’t work either?
But he knew, no matter what, he could not afford to show weakness. He raised his knife, his lips pulled back in a slightly rigid smile, a look of amusement on his face: “I told you before – you won’t get away today, demoness!”
He was clearly forcing a smile, but the masked girl saw a trace of malicious satisfaction on his face.
“Very well!” The masked girl had a serious look in her eyes. She threw the large bag from her back onto the ground, and then slowly withdrew a pair of short blades from her sleeves.
“It seems I won’t be able to get away today unless I tear you apart!”
Li Xuan had been panicking for a while, preparing for the prospect of a severe beating. The confrontation could not be avoided. With a flourish of his long knife, he snapped, “Why all the talk? Just make your move—”
He didn’t manage to finish his words, because the purple figure was already in front of him. In a flash, he drew his knife and struck out ferociously, not bothering to defend.
He had reasoned it out before – his speed, strength, and agility were all inferior to Demoness Zidie’s by more than just a notch. If he was to actually fight her, he would probably not even be able to mirror her moves. His only option was to go on the offensive.
Even if the hope wasn’t great, forcing her to defend would significantly improve his situation.
As soon as he unsheathed his knife, Li Xuan once again felt an extremely cold force surging into him. Then, the waist knife in his hand suddenly took on a bright reddish-glow, and its speed increased exponentially, leaving a residual image in its wake.
In front of him, the eyes of the demon girl narrowed slightly. Her pair of short blades were about to stab into Li Xuan’s abdomen. But in that instant, she drew them back, blocking Li Xuan’s offensive.
With a soft ‘ding’, Li Xuan felt a tightness in his chest, a dribble of blood at the corner of his mouth, his body shaking with the shock, and his right hand holding the knife feeling a sharp pain and then numbness.
In the shock, Li Xuan was scrambling to figure out how to ward off the next attack when he saw the figure of the girl before him freeze. Then, with a ‘poof’, she burst into a plume of white mist, turning into countless purple butterflies fluttering around.
In the end, neither the Demoness Zidie nor the heavy bundle was in sight. The only things left were the thin layer of ice coating a twenty-yard radius around him, created by his Shi of the sword.
Body Split Technique? Did that woman just send a clone to fight him?
Li Xuan was shocked, he immediately looked up. He saw the purple figure already soaring in the sky, continuing to fly rapidly towards the eastern city wall. The demoness’s silver bell-like laughter of triumph echoed, “So, it’s the wishful Seventh Heaven Knife of the Lis, quite impressive. But you can’t even perceive a simple illusion, yet you dare to talk big? Just wait, your head is borrowed time, I’ll collect it when I have time!”
At that moment, Li Xuan heaved a sigh of relief. His whole body began to bead with cold sweat, but he didn’t forget to wave his waist knife in the direction of the demoness in the air: “Don’t run, demoness! Dare to face another strike from me?”
Demoness Zidie just flew away without hesitation. Li Xuan relaxed even more. Then he saw Peng Fulai and Yue Qianqian below the house both looking at him, gazes filled with a hint of confusion and admiration.
Li Xuan grumpily sheathed his knife: “What are you looking at? In the face of Master Li’s knife, even this Demoness Zidie has to retreat three steps. You’re lucky to serve under me!”
He took a few steps forward, intending to jump off the roof. But with his tense attention already relaxed, Li Xuan suddenly felt as if his strength had abandoned him. His legs gave way, and then he slipped.
The thin layer of ice on the roof made him slide down like on a slide. Li Xuan anticipated what would happen next. He screamed, his limbs struggled violently, but it was of no use.
