Episode 70: Night Shadow

  It won't be long, and in just a few days, Li Yan's labor-inducing medicine will be ready. However, he has been absorbing the true yuan from the Three Lives Stone day and night. The true yuan is now very rich and has already broken through the barrier of the Three Tribulations Scattered Immortal. His cultivation has greatly increased, which is naturally a great help in this matter.

  These days, Yu Yun has been recuperating in the hospital, and both her body and mind have been getting better day by day. Compared to the previous few days, there has been a huge improvement, making Yu Yun's mother smile with joy every day. Although Yu Yun's problem has not been completely resolved, they are still very grateful to Li Yan. Every day, they come to visit Li Yan's mother in her ward and bring all kinds of food for Li Yan.

  In fact, Li Yan also liked Ruo Yun very much. The fact that he could get along with Liu Ding, a spirit, showed that his nature was absolutely pure and kind. Such a temperament, even if Li Yan had traveled through countless star domains, was not common, so he took care of him a little more.

  Unfortunately, neither Hai Ruo Yun himself nor his parents wanted him to have too much contact with things from another world. Otherwise, Li Yan wouldn't mind taking on a nominal disciple and passing on some cultivation methods. After all, people with innate abilities were renowned for their exceptional natural talent.

  That day, after Ruoyun was discharged from the hospital, Liyan couldn't help but feel a sense of emptiness in his heart. It turned out that, without realizing it, he had already developed some feelings for this child. Perhaps it was because he had been wandering alone for too long, and now, whether it was family or friends, they all seemed to have become somewhat important to him.

  It was night, and after sending off Lin Xiaoyun, Lu Yuanyuan came over to take the shift. As soon as she saw Li Yan, she clung to him, insisting on asking for his guidance on traditional Chinese medicine knowledge. This wasn't the first time it had happened, and Li Yan couldn't stand this girl's constant entanglement. So every time, he would point out a few things and then let her figure them out herself.

  Standing in front of the window, quietly gazing out at the night sky, it was already quite late, and Lu Yuanyuan had fallen asleep on the edge of the bed. Suddenly, Li Yan couldn't help but feel a strange vibration that seemed to be transmitted over, giving him a feeling very similar to the life frequency of some animal in reality, but with a sense of bloodthirstiness and cruelty that was somewhat similar to that of a zombie.

  "Huh——not a zombie, an undead zombie, there's no sign of life fluctuation at all, this kind of fluctuation is clearly only present in living beings. But how can it give off such an eerie and dark aura? Thinking of the vampire Edward Cullen he met outside the hospital, Li Yan suddenly let out a 'heh' laugh, then lay back down on the bed in the outer room. Immediately after, his spirit left his body, and with a wave of his hand, his ten fingers crossed, forming a seal. In an instant, seventeen or eighteen beams of colorful light flashed rapidly across the walls and glass of the room, like a beam of neon light flashing past the window."

  This is his mother's sickroom. In order to protect his mother's safety from being disturbed by some extraordinary imaginative existence, Li Yan immediately took action and sealed the breath here. This includes both the sealing array that ensures the breath does not leak out, as well as more defensive seals that prevent the practice from being disturbed. Once activated, even a general immortal attack would not cause much damage.

  In an instant, Li Yan's primordial spirit flickered and he had already passed through the wall. The next moment, he appeared on the rooftop of the hospital building. As he looked around, a black shadow flashed across the round moon in the night sky - a gigantic bat with wings over a meter long suddenly appeared in Li Yan's line of sight.

  That huge bat, after a rapid flight, suddenly stuck its body tightly to the wall of a large building, with four claws grasping the wall and making a harsh, eerie screeching sound.

  "Is that Edward Van Hohenheim guy?" Sensing the familiar aura, Li Yan couldn't help but furrow his brow, believing that there were few people in this world who could have a good impression of bats, and even Li Yan, a super loose immortal with extensive experience, was no exception.

  As expected, at the moment Li Yan's thoughts fell, a huge bat around him suddenly burst into a black smoke, and after the black fog dispersed, the wretched bat transformed into a blond-haired blue-eyed foreign young man wearing a tailcoat, with a slender figure, who was none other than Edward Van der Walt.

  But it turned out that Edward Van der Wyk finally found the "Holy Grail" in an inconspicuous corner after meeting with Li Yan that day, but unexpectedly, when he touched the Holy Grail, a breath was released, which happened to attract several powerful beings from the East nearby, and thus, he ended up tragically.

  Frantically fleeing in a state of panic, after all, he was just an Earl of the Blood Clan; facing a true master of the Cultivation Realm, this bit of strength was really not worth mentioning.

  "Monster, where are you escaping to!" Just then, suddenly, a long whistle came from the distant sky, and in the pitch-black night sky, it seemed like a thunderclap had sounded.

  When he heard this, even Lao Li Yan couldn't help but be shocked for a moment, feeling the strong aura that was getting closer and closer. This is... a powerful being at the peak of Yang God!

  Indeed, the Earth Cultivation Realm still exists, whether it's the Blood Clan Earl Edward Van Zandt in front of me, or the Demon-Slaying Dragon Clan's Ma Xiao Ling I met that day, or the mysterious cultivator who is approaching now, all clearly indicate this.

  "Crack!" The person had not yet arrived, but the mysterious monk's attack was already here. A loud explosion was heard, a blinding flash of lightning suddenly tore through the night sky and appeared above Edward Van Hohenheim's head. This tragic vampire count's body shook violently, and a miserable scream was immediately let out.

  "What a ruthless law, beautiful!" Li Yan heard the vampire's mournful cry in his ears and couldn't help but feel a thrill. When he looked again, Edward Cullen was like a shot-down plane, smoking, trailing a long tail, flying crookedly into the distance until it disappeared into the darkness, leaving behind only a faint glow of sparks flickering in the night sky.

  "What an idiot!" Looking at the pitiful state of this guy, Li Yan couldn't help but reveal a faint smile. Immediately, he took a step forward and traversed through space, riding the wind and clouds, chasing after the direction where the other had disappeared. The intense fluctuation of the world's origin energy just now would surely attract the attention of many interested parties. Tonight was bound to be an exciting show. Li Yan had been wanting to make contact with this world's cultivation circle, and he wouldn't let slip this opportunity.

  Edward Van der Walt, who was heavily hit by Lei Fa, was now seriously injured and could only force himself to support his body and head towards the suburbs. Because he knew that once he was discovered in the city, the masters of the Huaxia cultivation world would inevitably eliminate him at all costs and then eliminate the impact he had caused. And when he arrived at the mountain forest in the suburbs, relying on the advantage of his bloodline's fast flight speed, there might still be a chance to escape.

  It has to be said that these vampires are indeed the darlings of darkness, their power coming from the moon that dominates the land in the dark. Every full moon night, vampires must occupy the highest place nearby and absorb the essence of the moon to upgrade their level. At this time, Edward was seriously injured and could only escape to the mountains outside the city. On the one hand, he wanted to avoid being hunted down by the Eastern Cultivation Realm, and on the other hand, he wanted to use the power of the moon to alleviate his injuries.

  He retracted the bat wings behind him and landed clumsily on the mountaintop. The lightning bolt that had just struck was aimed directly at his body. He wasn't an idiot, so he naturally knew it was the Eastern cultivator who had made a move against him.

  Moreover, he was well aware that if it weren't for the distance, being struck by lightning in such an unguarded manner would have instantly carbonized his body's surface with a powerful electric current. If not for the vampire's innate robust vitality, Edward Cullen believed that he should have already turned into a dead bat. Even so, this severe burn still forced him to immediately begin absorbing the moon's energy...
