CHAPTER 904: CHAPTER 678: DIVINE WOOD LINEAGE

No one expected that just as today’s great battle was about to conclude, another Mountain Lord level Divine Blood Lineage would unexpectedly emerge within Chiyun City. This Divine Blood Lineage from the Divine Wood lineage does not belong to any faction.

Clearly, his appearance is intended to take advantage of the chaos and seize some benefits.

At present, the defeat of the Red Gold Mountain Master Huohuo is certain, and there is no more opportune moment than now.

"Li Yi, something seems off now." Jiang Mingtian, who hadn’t been happy for long, now darkened his expression again. He hadn’t expected that despite all his scheming, a third party would get involved in this battle.

"Don’t worry, it’s obvious the other party is here to pick up cheap benefits. If he truly wanted to help that Red Gold Mountain Master, he would have acted long ago. His strength is limited; he would instantly be defeated by either side, so he only dares to show up now."

Li Yi said calmly, with a composed demeanor.

"Mu Tu, help me today, and I will grant you ten Red Gold Mines." At this moment, the Red Gold Mountain Master Huohuo seemed to see his last hope and immediately shouted.

Understand that Huohuo, as one of thirty Mountain Masters, truly controls twenty Red Gold Mines. To give away ten mines in one go is to give away half of his wealth.

But at this moment, money no longer matters. If he does not defeat the challengers, he will lose everything as the Red Gold Mountain Master.

"This matter has nothing to do with you. If you want to get involved, once I’ve killed this Mountain Master, I will come back and take your life." Xiang Xiangzi loudly stated, issuing a severe warning.

Xuan Yuezi also stared at this person full of killing intent. She didn’t want an unexpected person to ruin everything at a critical time.

However, in the face of Xiang Xiangzi’s threat, the warrior of the Divine Wood lineage, Mu Tu, remained unfazed. He could see that both sides had reached the point of exhaustion, unable to pose a threat to him.

"I am a Divine Blood Lineage of the Divine Wood lineage, Red Gold Mountain Master. If you are willing to make a promise to give the Divine Wood lineage fifteen Red Gold Mines, I am willing to help you escape today and repel the strong enemies."

Mu Tu spoke loudly at this moment, choosing without hesitation to stand on Huohuo’s side.

Because only by doing so can he obtain the greatest benefits.

And with these strong enemies present, the Red Gold Mountain Master will only ally with the Divine Wood lineage in the future and not dare break the agreement, otherwise what happened today will happen again, especially since his Divine Blood warrior Beigong has already perished, and the Exotic Beast Qiongqi has betrayed him.

"Alright, fifteen mountains, granted to your Divine Wood lineage. I, Huohuo, agree to make the promise." The Red Gold Mountain Master Huohuo did not hesitate, gritting his teeth and agreed immediately.

Mu Tu smiled with satisfaction upon hearing this.

Sure enough, as he predicted, at such a time no matter how excessive the request, this Red Gold Mountain Master would agree, and after obtaining fifteen Red Gold Mines, his Divine Wood lineage would grow even stronger.

Immediately, he gripped the Red Gold Long Spear in his hand tightly, and his pale golden eyes stared at the distant Xuan Yuezi and Xiang Xiangzi.

"Two Mountain Masters, please leave now. If I take action today, I’m afraid both Mountain Masters may face death." He spoke, issuing a threat, wanting to resolve this battle without resorting to force.

Xiang Xiangzi was furious, wishing she could immediately take this guy down.

However, with her mana nearly exhausted, she didn’t dare leave the Heavenly Dao Seal. Xuan Yuezi needed her Dragon and Tiger Power to suppress the Red Gold Mountain Master, otherwise, once the Mountain Master broke free, it would be hard to kill him again.

Moreover, the Exotic Beast Qiongqi couldn’t hold off this newly joined Divine Blood warrior, after all, even though Qiongqi was only at the Ten Mountain Masters level and had been injured by Huohuo, it was afraid facing an enemy stronger than itself, it began to hesitate and stop advancing.

"If you want to fight, I’ll accompany you. Once we’ve killed the Red Gold Mountain Master, your life will be at risk as well."

At this moment, Li Yi, holding the Treasure Moon Bow, flew over, his expression stern, staring intently at the Divine Blood Lineage named Mu Tu.

"Li Yi, you’re no match for him." Xuan Yuezi immediately transmitted, "Retreat quickly, we can’t take the Red Gold Mountain today, we’ll have to reconsider later."

"Immortal, if I and that Exotic Beast Qiongqi join forces to hold him off, can you kill the Red Gold Mountain Master?" Li Yi secretly replied.

"It’s difficult, the two of us, relying on the Heavenly Dao Seal and utilizing nature’s spiritual energy, have only suppressed him now and have no strength to kill him." Xuan Yuezi said somewhat helplessly, "Originally planned to

use the strength of the Exotic Beast or your strength, Taiyi, to take down the Red Gold Mountain Master, but this person’s appearance has ruined the plan."

"Looks like our luck is really bad." Li Yi sighed helplessly.

"Unless another expert joins the fray, we can only give up everything and leave." Xuan Yuezi said.

Although inwardly unwilling, fighting head-on would indeed lead to many deaths.

"You are a very powerful Divine Blood Lineage, but you’re not yet Mountain Lord level, you’re no match for me. Leave Red Gold Mountain immediately, and we can avoid a battle, otherwise today I will take your head."

At this moment, Mu Tu raised the Red Gold Long Spear in his hand, pointing at Li Yi and scolding.

If he weren’t intent on taking advantage and didn’t want to fight, he wouldn’t have said so much and would’ve already acted.

Li Yi shouted, "A guy who only picks up cheap benefits, do you deserve to be a Divine Blood Warrior?"

"How dare you insult me? Looking for death." Mu Tu was instantly furious upon hearing this, immediately gripping the Red Gold Long Spear in his hand, intending to quell this turmoil with this person’s blood and uphold the dignity of his Divine Wood lineage.

Li Yi, holding the Treasure Moon Bow, was about to draw out a Magic Arrow to shoot at him. However, at that moment, on a mountain at his feet, the Exotic Blood Warrior Long Yu appeared somehow.

"Master, your arrow." At this moment, Long Yu had found the Black Gold Arrow and shouted, tossing it to Li Yi.

"Well done." Li Yi was pleased to see this, immediately reaching out to grab the Black Gold Arrow from a distance.

Mu Tu’s expression wavered slightly at this scene. He had seen the battle between Li Yi and Beigong and knew that this arrowhead could pierce the battle armor forged from Red Gold, severely injuring warrior level individuals.

Even he did not have the confidence to withstand such an arrow.

The only way was to kill him first and seize that bow and arrow, or else it would eventually become a major threat to his Divine Wood lineage.

"Die." Mu Tu’s killing intent erupted, and without hesitation, he rushed to attack.

His whole body glowed with a dazzling golden light, like a sun born from heaven, revealing terrifying power in the light that could drive away all creatures. Anyone illuminated by the golden light would turn to ashes.

However, at this critical moment.

Li Yi nocked an arrow on his bow, and in one fluid motion, just as the golden light enveloped him, he released the Black Gold Arrow.

The arrow pierced through the sky instantly, extinguishing the golden light, piercing through the blazing sun, and then disappeared from sight.

At the moment the Black Gold Arrow vanished.

The radiance of the sun extinguished.

Golden blood splattered onto the Red Gold Mountain Range, and the previously menacing Divine Blood Warrior, Mu Tu, staggered wildly backward for hundreds of meters, his arm hanging limply as cracks appeared on his shoulder.

Even the shoulder armor forged of red gold had been penetrated.

But fortunately, he had avoided a fatal hit, sacrificing an arm to dodge this deadly strike.

"The Divine Blood Warrior of the Divine Wood Lineage is injured? I saw golden blood spill onto the ground, and the sun-like golden light was instantly obliterated."

"That warrior called Da Yi, his bow and arrow are terrifying. It was the same reason the previous Beigong was severely injured and died."

"I thought the warrior Mu Tu of the Divine Wood Lineage would smoothly take the fifteen Red Gold Mines. Is there going to be a change now? Can Da Yi rely on his bow and arrow to shoot down the Divine Blood Lineage member?"

The battlefield’s situation changed once more, causing the many Merchant Masters and warriors in Red Mountain City to exclaim in astonishment again.

Truly, it was a series of twists and turns.

Until the end, no one could be certain who would secure victory.

"You’re out of arrows now, aren’t you, Da Yi?"

With his other hand, Mu Tu gripped the Red Gold Long Spear and shouted angrily at Li Yi, yet due to the pain from his shoulder and his continually crumbling body, he hesitated to advance.

If there was another Black Gold Arrow, he could very well meet his end here.

"You are already gravely wounded. I, along with the Mountain Lord-level mutant beast Qióngqí, cannot be overcome by you. Retreat quickly, or you will meet your demise here." Li Yi shouted, tightly gripping the Treasure Moon Bow.

Witnessing this scene, Jiang Mingtian didn’t hesitate and called the mutant beast Qióngqí, asking it to stop confronting the Red Gold Mountain Master and instead flew to Li Yi’s side, preparing to face the Mountain Lord-level warrior known as Mu Tu together.

Mu Tu’s expression was uncertain, feeling an immense sense of shame that a single arrow could halt his advance.

But if he continued to fight, as Li Yi said, there was no certainty he could overcome his opponent.

"Mu Tu, use the Divine Arts, kill the opponent, we can win this battle." The Red Gold Mountain Master Huohuo shouted loudly to remind him, "He only has one arrow left, no need to fear."

Upon this reminder, Mu Tu was momentarily stunned, then his killing intent surged once again.

The pattern of golden leaves on his body began to flash with dazzling light, and within this light, a phantom of a divine figure rapidly appeared.

"Li Yi, can we manage this time? The opponent is about to use Divine Arts?" Jiang Mingtian was flustered upon seeing this.

He was well aware that Li Yi indeed only had one arrow left. If there were more, he would have used them already.

Li Yi remained silent, his gaze icy. With a flick of his hand, a palace-like Dao Artifact appeared in his hand.

This was his Tianyi Palace.

Tianyi Palace was merely a Daoist Artifact-Level palace, useful only for defense and self-contained space.

"I have no confidence in withstanding the Divine Arts strike, but hiding inside the Dao Artifact and relying on its defensive power should hold. The opponent was hit by the Black Gold Arrow, his injuries would worsen, and we’ve reached a point of no return. We can only wear him out and bet that he will collapse first, especially since using Divine Arts is very exhausting. As strong as the Red Gold Mountain Master was, he only used the Divine Arts once."

Li Yi communicated this secretly.

Jiang Mingtian gritted his teeth and nodded in agreement with the plan.

However, as the golden light before their eyes grew increasingly brilliant.

Suddenly.

A gentle breeze arose between heaven and earth, dispersing the golden lights, causing Mu Tu, who was about to unleash the Divine Arts, to suddenly pause.

"Who?"

Mu Tu shouted abruptly, looking towards a certain direction.

He saw an old man with white hair and beard, leaning on a cane, riding the wind. The old man spoke slowly, "Warrior of the Divine Wood Lineage, cease your attack and leave immediately. Your battle is not honorable. If you insist on attacking Da Yi, I will stop you."

Nanshan Bo?

Upon seeing the old man appear, Li Yi was momentarily stunned.

He then remembered that on this trip to the Red Gold Mountain, Nanshan Bo was with them.

In the intensity of battle, he had overlooked the old man’s presence, not expecting at this critical moment, Nanshan Bo would intervene to help.

"It seems my luck isn’t always dire," Li Yi felt a slight relief in his heart.

Although the opponent had suddenly gained an ally, now he had gained one too.
