A rare opportunity

Chapter 618 Stalemate

Originally, if they were to fight separately, Li Yu and his team could fight two against two, relying on his Sun True Fire, and perhaps they could win. As long as they could hold on for enough time, they might not be without a chance of winning! But now, with the arrival of Li Yu and Hou Rujing, as well as Ren Gui and Hu Jiumei who followed them, a melee was inevitable! When everyone was fighting together, Li Yu was afraid to use his weapon, and his Sun True Fire lost its power! In terms of strength alone, their side would definitely lose!

Since he was sure of defeat, Kuai Yiwen began to seek a way out! Of course, he did it not for himself but for Li Yu and Hou Rujing! After all, a man loves his children! Hou Rujing was his disciple, and although Li Yu was unwilling to become his disciple, he had already regarded him as his own disciple. He could die, but he could not let his disciple die!

His thoughts at this moment were like the thoughts of most parents in the world about their children! They could endure hardships, but they didn't want their children to suffer even a little bit of grievance! Just like an old hen protecting her children! Even if their children didn't appreciate it and called it self-touching, they still had no complaints and were willing to protect their children from wind and rain! As long as their children were happy, they would not hesitate even if they sacrificed their own lives!

Of course, most children in the world know how to be grateful. They remember their parents' efforts, care about their parents, and do their best to repay their parents' efforts and give them a happy old age.

The reason why Li Yu appeared beside Kuai Yiwen was to repay Kuai Yiwen, and it was also based on considerations of reality! It's not that he hadn't thought about joining forces with Hou Rujing to deal with Ren Gui and Hu Jiumei first. However, he was worried that Kuai Yiwen would not be able to hold on until that time! He couldn't build his victory on the basis of sacrificing Kuai Yiwen! Besides, Kuai Yiwen is the strongest among them! Even if he finally defeated Ren Gui and Hu Jiumei, if he lost Kuai Yiwen, Lan Yuxing would eventually end up in destruction! Then what's the meaning of his victory? So he rushed to Kuai Yiwen without hesitation, fighting side by side with him to resist the powerful enemy!

Seeing that the four opponents had surrounded their side, Kuai Yiwen was thinking about how to let Li Yu and Hou Rujing retreat into the formation to wait for the arrival of Jinshuxing reinforcements, while he stood with his back to them as Li Yu requested!

In his opinion, the safest place at this time is the Lingshan Formation! However, Li Yu did not think so! He did not know where these people got the news from. But, it was obvious that they knew everything about Lanyu Star! He did not believe that these people knew the names of each of them, so they would not know the existence of the Lingshan Formation? They knew that the Lingshan Formation had a strong defensive ability, but they still came, which meant that they had a way to break the formation! Since they had a way to break the formation, what was the point of hiding in the formation? Instead of hiding in the formation and passively being beaten, it is better to fight! With Kuai Yiwen, they at least have the capital to fight with the other party!

Just as Kuai Yiwen was thinking, he suddenly heard Hong Qiu let out a long howl! This long howl was like a horn urging an attack. Upon hearing the sound, the other three immediately launched an attack on Li Yu and the other two with Hong Qiu!

All of a sudden, Ren Gui's hammer made a whirring sound! Hong Qiu and others' double-edged swords, thick-backed swords, and scimitars all made a shrill sound of breaking through the air and swept towards Li Yu and others! It seemed that they would devour the three of them in one fell swoop!

Li Yu and the other two did not dare to neglect it! Li Yu swung his dog-beating stick, and with a move like a dragon swinging its tail, he swung it towards the east and north directions occupied by Ren Gui and Hu Jiumei!

When Hou Rujing saw this, he swung his long whip and went straight to Ren Gui's arm! Originally, Kuai Yiwen wanted to bear more pressure, but he never thought that Li Yu and Hou Rujing would take the lead. He could only raise his sword helplessly to meet Hong Qiu's knife! His eyes were always paying attention to Li Yu and Hou Rujing. From time to time, he handed a sword to their opponents to relieve their pressure!

In a moment, the seven people from both sides were fighting in one place! Swords and knives were flying, whips and sticks were dancing wildly! A long whip was like a dragon shuttling through the crowd. The wind was howling, and the shouts of killing shook the sky! The whole sky was rolling with dark clouds, as if the end of the world was coming! The bandits in the five Taotie spaceships were terrified! The monks from the Golden Broom Star who were looking up on the ground were trembling! The monks from the Blue Jade Star in the Lingshan formation changed color!

Because of the lack of tacit understanding between Li Yu and Kuai Yiwen and Hou Rujing, they were inevitably a little flustered and full of loopholes when they first took over. However, the Taotie Gang cooperated very well! Especially Ren Gui and Hu Jiumei, their cooperation was perfect! Obviously, they had done this before!

However, on the one hand, there was Kuai Yiwen to assist them. On the other hand, they did not dare to get too close to Li Yu, in case he would recklessly sacrifice the Sun True Fire. Therefore, although Li Yu and others were at a disadvantage, they were safe! They barely maintained a situation of equal strength between the two sides.

However, as time went on, the cooperation between Li Yu and Kuai Yiwen became more and more skillful. From the initial passive defense, they transformed into occasional counterattacks, until finally they attacked and defended each other! A situation of true equal strength was formed!

This situation not only made Hong Qiu and other four leaders of the Taotie Gang feel incredible, but even Kuai Yiwen found it hard to believe!

In Li Yu's eyes, the reason for this situation is that he and Kuai Yiwen, the master and apprentice, have a better understanding of each other. But in the eyes of others, Li Yu is getting stronger and stronger!

Li Yu was fully engaged in the battle, and had no time or energy to pay attention to the changes in his own strength. However, the other people on both sides of the battle felt this change deeply! Especially Hong Qiu and Qiu Ye, they were even more shocked!

You know, they all thought that Li Yu was only at the third level of Saint level. Therefore, they did not take him seriously. They were afraid of his Sun True Fire. But now, they suddenly found that Li Yu's strength was terrifying! He even had the potential to compete with them! What's more terrifying is that Li Yu seemed to be getting braver and stronger as he fought! How could this be the strength of a third level Saint level cultivator?

The two of them couldn't help but probe their divine thoughts into Li Yu's Dantian, only to find that Li Yu was not at the third level of Saint Level at all, but at the fourth level! And he was at the peak of the fourth level! They couldn't help but curse in their hearts: Chu Sheng, you bastard! Did you do this on purpose? I'll settle the score with you when I get back!

They didn't believe that a person could advance from the third level to the fourth level in such a short time. Even if Li Yu was gifted and indeed advanced from the third level to the fourth level, he should be at the elementary level of the fourth level and could not reach the peak of the fourth level! Since Li Yu's cultivation was at the peak of the fourth level of the Saint level, there was only one possibility, that is, Chu Sheng deliberately concealed Li Yu's cultivation!

They really couldn't find a reason for Chu Sheng to lie to them, so they decided that Chu Sheng wanted to harm them. Ren Gui and Hu Jiumei didn't feel anything, after all, they couldn't see Li Yu's cultivation! But Hong Qiu and Qiu Ye hated Chu Sheng to the core! At the same time, they also sneered at Chu Sheng's mean behavior! Thinking in their hearts: Humph! So what if you deliberately concealed it? It's just a small fourth-level Saint! You want to get rid of us with him so that you can get promoted? It's just wishful thinking!

The two of them immediately exchanged glances, and while dealing with Kuai Yiwen and Li Yu, they launched fierce attacks on Hou Rujing from time to time!

Obviously, Hou Rujing is the weakest link among the three opponents! If they want to break the current situation, Hou Rujing is the best breakthrough! Although Hou Rujing is the weakest, he can still restrain one of Ren Gui and Hu Jiumei. If they can get rid of Hou Rujing, then they can free Ren Gui or Hu Jiumei. With four to two, they will definitely lose!

They thought of this, so Kuai Yiwen could naturally imagine it! Therefore, seeing that the other four were all aiming at Hou Rujing and attacking fiercely, he naturally understood their intentions! How could he let them succeed? He immediately swung his sword, forming a sword curtain in front of Hou Rujing to protect his safety!
