Chapter 98: First Battle with Xuan Ma
“I’d love to try it!”

None of the people who are valued by Huangfu Longdou and become the Tiangang Dragon Riders are weak.

After all, they were all summoned from the Great Thousand Worlds by Huangfu Longdou who spent ten years of his life.

Their original bodies are gods residing in the universe. They descend to the underworld through puppet bodies. Although they can only exert a small part of their strength, they are also the top combat forces in the underworld.

Xuan Ma is quite special, she moves in the underworld in her original form. She is an ancient mythical beast and an ancient celestial fox from the same period as the four holy gods of wind, flowers, snow and moon, Bifang, Jiuying, Yingzhao and Shebishi!

Not to mention anything else, the fact that Tie Zu could crush Cao Yanbing and three other people who were in the Great Scorching Heat realm with one blow was enough to prove his strength. He must have at least the strength of the eighth or ninth level of Great Scorching Heat!

As for the other few people who have the same status as Tiezu, their strength is naturally not much worse. This can be seen from Xuanma's power that can easily shatter the space!
Faced with such a strong man, and one who has a divine spirit as his guardian spirit, if it were someone else, they would probably have run away long ago.

Who else would dare to be like Li Ye, who not only did not run away, but instead provoked the other party's anger when the other party had murderous intentions!

"I want to try it!"

These four concise and clear words have already made clear Li Ye's attitude at the moment!

Full of fighting spirit!

The path to becoming strong is like rowing against the current. Only by overcoming endless dangers and obstacles and moving forward courageously, without the spirit of fearlessness, how can one soar above the sky!

The strength of each Tiangang Dragon Rider is naturally very strong. As an ancient mythical beast, Xuanma is so powerful that it is breathtaking, but this does not mean that Li Ye can give in!
The power of Ren Tai Sui's medicine transformed him and his strength increased dramatically. Although he failed to enter the realm of great scorching heat in one fell swoop, his hell path has reached the peak of the ninth level of scorching heat, and his physical body has even broken through two levels of heaven. Now, he is extremely powerful, but he urgently needs a battle to verify and adapt to the growth of his strength. And for such a battle, is there anyone more suitable than the Tiangang Dragon Rider Xuanma who appears before him?

"What a disobedient fellow..."

Li Ye's burst of fighting spirit made Xuan Ma sigh with regret.

Xuanma's aura changed, becoming more depressing. Under the ancient-style long skirt, six snow-white tails emerged behind her, looking strange and charming!
"Bah!"

Amid the sound so slight that it seemed like piercing paper, a snow-white tail flew out at high speed. The sonic boom produced by the extreme speed and the friction of space was enough to hurt people's eardrums!

"Well done!"

Feeling the energy brought by the tail, a crazy smile appeared on Li Ye's face. He clenched his right fist, and a surging spiritual power roared, forming a spiritual power vortex above his fist, and he punched towards Xuan Ma's fox tail!
"boom!"

The violent collision of spiritual power caused the rocks under Li Ye and Xuan Ma's feet to crack suddenly, and at the point of collision, the energy scattered!

"Interesting little fellow, you can actually condense your body's strength to such an extent. However, this is only the power of one tail. How are you going to resist the remaining five tails?"

Seeing that Li Ye and his fox tail were fighting hard without losing any ground, Xuan Ma's voice revealed a hint of surprise, but only a hint!

She revealed her six tails, and was able to block one tail, but there were still five tails left!
In the country of Qingqiu, there are foxes in the mountains. They have four legs, and their cries and sounds are like those of babies. They can eat people, but those who eat them will not be poisoned.

For the fox of Qingqiu, its strength becomes twice as strong with each additional tail. Those with six tails or less are called spirit foxes. Only those with six tails or more can be called celestial foxes. Nine tails is the strongest celestial fox. Beyond nine tails, achieving ten tails means reaching the realm of gods, with combat power comparable to that of the Invincible level.

Although, it is unclear how many tails Xuanma has, but as a celestial fox, it must have at least seven tails, and at least the eighth level!

The five tails moved at the same time, and the terrifying power almost shattered the space around Li Ye!
"You are so brave, you bastard!"

The five fox tails almost covered Li Ye's entire body. With a deafening roar, the fox tails that were about to attack Li Ye were blocked by two dark magical weapons!

One swing and one spear!
The name of the sword is Bi Yan Sword, and the name of the spear is Yu Wang Spear!
The huge medicinal power of Ren Tai Sui not only increased Li Ye's spiritual power dramatically, but also increased Li Cunxiao's spiritual power dramatically!
"Flying Tiger General Li Cunxiao! You are Li Ye!"

Looking at the spirit that was holding his fox tail, Xuan Ma's pupils shrank, and the six fox tails retreated behind him without any warning!

Although she had never met Li Ye, she knew about Li Cunxiao, the most powerful human spirit. As Li Cunxiao's spirit host, if she still didn't know Li Ye's identity, she would have lived in vain for so many years.

"So you are the Li Ye that Master Huangfu praised. You are indeed a good person! However, let's stop here. You are not our target. For Master Huangfu's sake, you can leave now!"

Xuan Ma's charming and beautiful voice sounded, revealing unquestionable majesty!
"Your tone is really annoying. I want to leave, who can stop me? When will it be your turn to order me around?"

As soon as Xuan Ma finished speaking, Diao Lingyun's even more arrogant voice came over!

Diao Lingyun is able to serve as a spirit host to control Lu Bu. There is no doubt about Diao Lingyun's combat instinct. Before, she was wondering why Li Ye would go out of his way to provoke these guys, but following Li Ye's actions, she understood a little bit!
The strong compete and hone themselves!

Now that Li Ye has taken action against Xuan Ma, she will naturally not fall behind!

"Everyone, since you have already made a move, there is no need to keep watching. Just make your move!"

Ya also took a step forward. Seeing Li Ye taking action, she was naturally worried about him. She quietly induced Diao Lingyun and others to take action as well, so as to share Li Ye's pressure.

"Sun Zhantian, please teach me!"

Sun Zhantian was also full of fighting spirit, with thunder and lightning all over his body!
"I also want to know how big the gap is between me and the truly strong ones!"

Flames were entwined on his hands, and Yang Luoqi's face was filled with a charming smile!
The other four people present were all smart people. Although they might still be a little immature now, their fearless aura had already destined them to have the ability to stir up the world!

"hehe!"

Xuan Ma snorted coldly, a little angry!

Originally, because of Huangfu Longdou's admiration for Li Ye, and the fact that Li Ye was able to compete with herself just now, she treated Li Ye differently. However, she did not expect that her tolerance would make them even more aggressive in their provocations. Not only did they provoke her, they even wanted to attack her together!

What does this take her for?

A sparring partner?
The seventh and eighth tails stretched out one after another, and eight huge furry white fox tails swayed behind Xuan Ma's wonderful figure, which was extremely beautiful, like a beautiful painting of unparalleled elegance.

The might of the Ninth-Rank Great Jiao Re was unmistakably revealed, and his overwhelming momentum surged towards Li Ye and the other four, like raging waves in a raging sea. The four women except Li Ye were like a small boat in a tsunami, small and helpless.

Looking at the terrifying aura that Xuan Ma suddenly displayed, the five people, including Li Ye, looked extremely solemn.

They knew very well that when Xuanma's seemingly furry and soft tail was swung out, they would face an absolutely devastating force.

This ancient mythical beast that has existed for thousands of years is indeed so terrifying!
It was obvious that the current five people were still unable to contend with Xuan Ma, who was already at the forefront of the underworld's combat power.

Just when Li Ye made up his mind not to hold back any more, Xuan Ma suddenly restrained his breath, and his angry expression disappeared. "Forget it, I have something else to do, so I won't waste my energy on you."

For Xuan Ma, although these five people cannot compete with him, it will still consume some strength. Instead of doing this, it is better to retain his strength to deal with the guy who is about to be born!

That guy is their target this time.

Moreover, Li Ye is a man that Lord Huangfu values, and I heard that they have a very close relationship, so there is no need to do anything extreme.

The huge fox tail stopped dancing and gradually dissipated. The terrifying destructive power disappeared. Li Ye breathed a sigh of relief, but a hint of disappointment flashed in the corner of his eyes!
He knew that his and others' idea of ​​using her to hone their own strength was completely impossible.

Xuan Ma restrained her aura because she didn't want to waste her energy on them, but that didn't mean she would let them go.

With such a clear hint, Li Ye naturally understood that this was a truce in disguise.

Of course, if Li Ye continued to provoke, he was 100% sure that he would make the other party take action, but at that time, it would not be a matter of honing himself, but a life-and-death battle where either you die or I die!

The previous battle, although reckless, was well thought out.

Firstly, he was afraid that the other party would treat him as a mantis catching a cicada, and he would not know how they had sold him out, so he wanted the other party to think about it and calculate whether it was really worthwhile for him to be tricked.

Secondly, with the existence of the bloody zombie behind him, his own increased strength due to Tai Sui, and his many trump cards, he is confident that even if he is defeated, he can retreat safely!

But if it was a life-and-death battle with both sides fighting with all their strength, no matter how confident Li Ye was, he never thought that all five of his men could survive the other side.

In Soul Land, Jiao Re is the backbone force, Da Jiao Re is the high-level combat force, and high-level Da Jiao Re like Xuan Ma is still the top-level combat force in the underworld.

As for the other four people, Ya also had a third-class Great Scorch Rex, Diao Lingyun had a primary-class Great Scorch Rex, Sun Zhantian and Yang Luoqi both had low-class Great Scorch Rex. Facing Xuan Ma who had a ninth-class Great Scorch Rex, they could only put up a desperate resistance!
The initial provocation can serve to hone one's own character, but at this point the other party has already expressed their feelings. If you provoke him without knowing what is good for you, you will be courting death!
In addition to feeling regretful, Li Ye became more curious about the Dragon Rider's purpose.

In Li Ye's memory, even when facing the four kings of Fenghuaxueyue, only three dragon riders were dispatched! And now, the Tiangang Dragon Riders were sealed and wanted by the Spirit Realm. Under such circumstances, the only remaining Xuanma was still dispatched. Even at such a great risk, they had to act. It was hard to say that they did not take it seriously.

"You are lucky!"

Although Xuan Ma was angry, he also knew that if he expended more energy on Li Ye, the next mission would become more dangerous!
"Let's go. I believe Brother Li is not an unwise person!"

Genma slowly took out the mask and put it on again.

He passed Li Ye and his group without worrying at all whether Li Ye and others would stop him. In other words, he was absolutely confident in his own strength. Even if Li Ye and others tried to stop him, he could suppress them with a wave of his hand!
This unparalleled self-confidence disappeared in an instant when she reached the edge of the sea of ​​blood. Her entire aura became gloomy, and even Li Ye and others following behind her couldn't help but feel cold all over!

"It seems that something happened before this that we don't know about!"

Looking at the empty sea of ​​blood, the coffins that originally corresponded to the eight trigrams were now in chaos. Among them, five coffins had already been opened. Xuan Ma's face looked a little gloomy.

The Eight Trigrams were in chaos, which meant that the Nine Nether Eight Trigrams Demon-Sealing Array was naturally no longer effective. Without the constraints of the array, the existence that it had sealed would be able to break out completely in no time. This was undoubtedly a variable for their plan.

"Okay, very good!"

Even though Xuan Ma was calm, he couldn't help but grit his teeth. Although he was wearing a mask, Li Ye could still feel the cold and angry eyes sweeping over him.

Originally, it was thought that the five zombies behind Li Ye and others were just powerful evil spirits. But at this moment, combined with the situation in the sea of ​​blood, Li Ye knew clearly that these zombies were the core of the Nine Nether Eight Trigrams Demon Sealing Array.

At this point, Li Ye was able to guess the purpose of some of the Dragon Riders. It was obvious that they came for the person who was sealed by the Nine Nether Eight Trigrams Demon Sealing Formation.

Obviously, the existence that was sealed was definitely so powerful that even Xuan Ma was not sure of victory, so she wanted to use the power of the formation to limit the opponent's strength. Now, the formation was broken, how could she not be angry!
Despite this, their eyes were still cast towards the sea of ​​blood. Before, because of the sudden increase in strength and the focus on the Dragon Rider, Li Ye and others almost subconsciously forgot that there was a powerful and terrifying existence sealed in this sea of ​​blood. Now, they found that the entire sea of ​​blood had already changed drastically.

The blood color in the entire sea of ​​blood was no longer as scarlet as before. It seemed as if it had been diluted and the color became very light. The sea of ​​blood was filled with a cold atmosphere, but the most eye-catching thing was the coffin in the middle.

At first glance, the originally blood-red coffin had already changed its appearance. It was actually carved from a huge stone. The stone coffin was also blood-red, and there was a nine-dragon pattern carved on it, which was gorgeous and noble. Wherever he looked, a murderous aura rushed towards him, making Li Ye subconsciously take a defensive posture.

There was no other reason, because the changes in this coffin were so horrifying. Li Ye could be sure that although the previous coffin was made of blood, it was indeed a real coffin, not a stone coffin, and there was no gorgeous pattern on it at all.

Li Ye looked at the sarcophagus, his brows furrowed, his expression very ugly.

"Brother Ye, what's wrong? Is there something wrong with this sarcophagus?"

Noticing Li Ye's expression, Yang Luoqi couldn't help but ask curiously!

"But why does this breath seem so familiar..."

Yang Luoqi muttered!

"Of course I am familiar with it, because the zombies you refined have the same evil spirit. The existence in this sarcophagus is probably not ordinary, and I'm afraid there will be trouble soon!"

Li Ye took a deep breath, looked at the sarcophagus carefully, and said in a deep voice!

"Trouble? Haha, you'll be lucky if you don't die soon! Now think of any last words you want to say!"

Listening to Li Ye's words, Xuan Ma, who was already unhappy with Li Ye and his companions, said unhappily.

If it weren't for these guys who ignorantly destroyed the Nine Nether Eight Trigrams Demon Sealing Formation, there wouldn't be such trouble now!
Li Ye no longer had the heart to pay attention to Xuan Ma's ridicule. At the same time, there were faint movements coming from the sarcophagus. The sarcophagus was trembling slightly, and every tremor caused the sea of ​​blood to surge. In particular, a tiny crack had appeared on the coffin lid. Through the crack, one could clearly hear the roar of a wild beast coming from inside. It was obvious that the creature in the sarcophagus had completely awakened and was attacking the seal of the sarcophagus.

The sarcophagus kept shaking and trembling in place, and the surrounding sea of ​​blood was surging with raging waves.

Everything indicates how powerful the existence sealed in the sarcophagus is and how fierce its resistance is.

Xuan Ma and Li Ye were all staring at the sarcophagus intently, ready to intervene at the first sign of any unusual occurrence.

The sarcophagus shook, and above it, a shadow of the Eight Diagrams appeared, as if containing tremendous power. It pressed down on the sarcophagus and immediately closed the tiny gap that had just appeared.

"Roar!"

The roar in the coffin became more violent, wisps of black air floated out of the sarcophagus, and above the sarcophagus, there were flashes of blood!
Amidst the flashes of blood, the suppressed Bagua diagram suddenly shook violently, and even a few cracks could be seen!

With a loud bang, a flame suddenly burst out from above the coffin. The flame suddenly jumped out more than ten feet high and burned fiercely. The entire sarcophagus and the Bagua diagram were swallowed by the flame. Through the flame, one could vaguely see the suppressed Bagua diagram turned into ashes. Even the sarcophagus began to melt in the high temperature flame.

A terrifying, suffocating breath came from the flames!
