Chapter 2315: Chapter 2379: All Schemes and Calculations

The supposed reliance had already lost one, and the plan to poison Li Yifei despite being injured failed. The Second Elder had to immediately start meditating to recover, while Li Yifei remained unscratched. After the Great Elder took the stage, they still had no way to deal with Li Yifei, having used all their ultimate moves in the domain, yet still failing to control Li Yifei.

"How did you do it?" The Great Elder didn’t rush to attack but instead asked with a cold voice and a stern face.

Li Yifei swung a slap into thin air, aware that the Great Elder had moved behind him, but he wasn’t anxious. Upon hearing this, Li Yifei turned around, grinned, and said, "What, still confused?"

"My mental control shouldn’t fail; you clearly already..." The Great Elder said.

Li Yifei gave an evil grin and said, "I clearly was under your control, wasn’t I? Then suddenly realized I wasn’t at all, so you’re shocked and find it hard to accept?"

The Great Elder said nothing, while Li Yifei boasted with some arrogance, "Know why you can’t do it? It’s actually simple—because my mental power is strong! Your meager spirit power is simply not enough!"

The Great Elder immediately replied, "No way, I clearly controlled your mental power. You can’t break free; it’s unchangeable!"

Seeing the stubborn old woman opposite him, Li Yifei chuckled and said, "Actually, it doesn’t matter if I tell you the truth, but if you don’t believe it, forget it. You two have been cooped up in a cave for so long, probably haven’t come out for decades, so it’s understandable you’re out of touch with trends and the times!"

"Bullshit, how dare you insult the Great Elder!" A Zhao Family young follower protested, shouting from afar.

The Great Elder’s eyelids twitched, her heart was furious, but she had to figure out why Li Yifei was not afraid of mental attacks. After all, her strongest attack was mental control, even against opponents of the same level; she could outsmart them, suddenly controlling their spirits, while the Second Elder took charge of their life. After all, even a strong expert acting suddenly foolish would be easily crushed.

"That’s not the reason. I clearly already controlled your spirit and could even command you!" The Great Elder said.

Li Yifei raised his hand to rub his chest; he certainly wouldn’t tell the Great Elder the truth. The reason he could break free from her mental control was due to the **** left behind by Na Yi in his body—it was the Witch Worm. This thing had just swallowed the Bone Erosion Poison from the Second Elder. When Li Yifei’s spirit was controlled just now, it emerged and pricked his heart. The sudden pain in his heart immediately freed Li Yifei from the Great Elder’s mental control.

Explaining this incident is simply like this. At this moment, Li Yifei thinks the Witch Worm is not bad; in every life-and-death battle, if it weren’t for the Witch Worm, he would be dead long ago. It saved him from peril several times, so Li Yifei feels grateful for the Witch Worm.

When Li Yifei didn’t explain, the Great Elder’s expression grew grave, knowing the opponent wouldn’t easily disclose such a secret. She began quickly calculating in her mind; if the opponent could withstand her mental attack, what method should she use to attack.

This battle, she couldn’t lose either, and she was provoked by Li Yifei. This arrogant scoundrel said she was too long in the cave, out of touch with the age... This ignited fury in the Great Elder’s heart.

"Arrogant scoundrel, don’t think you can survive just because you resist mental attacks. In my realm, you can only weaken continuously!" The Great Elder suddenly moved while saying this, accelerating her speed to the maximum. After several flickers, she suddenly appeared in front of Li Yifei. Although Li Yifei was mentally prepared, he still didn’t dodge.

A dry, yellow, even black hand suddenly appeared in front of him, striking his chest with a palm. Black qi swirled around. Li Yifei attempted to dodge, but unfortunately, in such a bizarre realm, his speed was indeed slow.

"Bang!" Li Yifei was sent flying, straight to the ground five or six meters away, landing on his back, a trace of pain showed on his face.

The Zhao Family followers cheered, finally seeing a glimmer of hope for victory.

"Great Elder, finish him off, leave no survivors!" A Zhao Family follower shouted.

Others joined in shouting.

The Great Elder looked faintly; she had her plans. If Li Yifei now had no ability to counter, there was no rush to kill him. If... She thought, seeing Li Yifei prop himself up and stand, rubbing his chest. He grinned at her, saying, "Just this much strength, getting old indeed?"

"You!" The Great Elder was incited by the sarcasm, snorted coldly, but her mind was calculating. She seemed to have casually slapped Li Yifei away, but the Great Elder knew that her palm wasn’t ordinary, with black qi on her fingertips indicating its uniqueness.

This palm was called ’Rupture Liver Intestine,’ a killing move the Great Elder used when she roamed the world. Regular people hit by this palm would instantly die; ordinary cultivators struck would hardly survive, and even top experts could suffer internal injuries if not cautious. The palm’s sinister feature was its seemingly ordinary appearance, soundless and subtle, just with black qi on the hand. The imprudent might overlook it, knowing its fatality only when hit. By then, it’s too late.

This was the Great Elder’s other killer move beyond spirit power, calculated against Li Yifei again, striking his chest. In her expectations, even if Li Yifei wasn’t gravely injured, he shouldn’t be seemingly unaffected as he was now.

Too strange, too sinister! The Great Elder’s eyes were filled with dense confusion. Could it be... she really hadn’t crossed hands with anyone for too long? Have those outside grown so formidable... making her unable to fathom?

Li Yifei also knew the palm was deadly. He grinned, showing white teeth in a seemingly harmless smile, but inwardly thought, ’Damn, if I hadn’t kept an eye out knowing you’d sneak attack, if I hadn’t preemptively activated True Qi and summoned True Qi Armor, the last hit might’ve been a setback.’

That old witch’s palm was indeed fierce; the hand was filled with uncomfortable, decaying, death-like aura, only Li Yifei’s True Qi Armor offset it. Otherwise, being hit, he definitely wouldn’t have been in a good state.

True Qi Armor was very useful indeed, Li Yifei secretly delighted; this Africa trip yielded good results, now coming into play.

The Great Elder scrutinized Li Yifei, deciding to try again. Could he have some legendary treasure for protection? Otherwise, how did his Rupture Liver Intestine strike yield no reaction, just like the previous mental control attempt, never succeeding!

The Great Elder attacker again without words. Li Yifei already knew the old witch’s maliciousness, so continued to embody the Armor, having somewhat adapted to the current slow speed. Seeing her attack with a palm, Li Yifei calmly retreated half a step, employing the Mountain-leaning technique, using his shoulder to bump, maximally reducing the time spent on striking.

There are countless moves, punches, and kicks may involve large swings; however, using the head, shoulder, chest, or hips to attack can be faster, though fewer adaptable moves exist.

This time, with a Mountain-leaning strike, Li Yifei hit the Great Elder’s shoulder. The Great Elder initially punched but released Rupture Liver Intestine as Li Yifei approached. Such moves significantly drain her strength, not consistently usable, with previous usage typically yielding results, even against equivalent foes.

Seeing Li Yifei recklessly charging, the Great Elder issued another palm; it hit his shoulder, while his attack reached the Great Elder, nearly his entire body crashing into her.

With a "bang," the two separated; Li Yifei flew out and fell to the ground, and this time, the Great Elder didn’t retreat to evade Li Yifei’s counterattack.

Assuming Li Yifei was not threatening initially, this charge surprised the Great Elder with substantial force, causing her to step back.

Slightly startled, the Great Elder inwardly acknowledged the scoundrel’s remarkable cultivation, possibly comparable to them. So young yet possessing such prowess; if not killed, he’s bound to become a formidable figure over time!

They can’t let him live! The Great Elder thought, if he were their disciple, she’d nurture him; however, being a foe... only dead enemies are the best enemies.

After a few seconds, seeing Li Yifei rise again, seemingly unscathed, merely twisting his shoulder, and nodding his head, seemingly mocking, ’Is that all, old witch? Not strong enough, huh?’

The Great Elder’s eye twitched madly, refusing to believe the outcome. Had she weakened? Two consecutive Rupture Liver Intestine palms on the same person within a minute; decades ago, even strong experts standing after such strikes were rare, let alone like Li Yifei, not red-faced or breathless, nearly unharmed. 𝗳𝚛𝗲𝕖𝚠𝚎𝚋𝗻𝗼𝕧𝗲𝐥.𝚌𝚘𝐦

Who exactly is this person? The Great Elder’s face was extremely unpleasant.

Zhao Family followers around were also tongue-tied. It seemed the Great Elder had the advantage, sending Li Yifei flying twice, but initially, she wasn’t affected, while the second time, she stepped back a few feet, seemingly unstable... But Li Yifei arose twice, seemingly untouched, still with a provocative expression...
