Chapter 160: I Am Invincible in Lichuan's Outer Realm
```
"Pu~"
Yu Qingtan spat out a mouthful of blood, a sinister black aura emanating from her wound and spreading outwards, corroding her meridians.
Her spiritual power circulation was severely affected, making the casting of spells like the Rejuvenation Spell and the Decay and Flourish Technique, as well as the control over the Qing Xuan Turtle Spirit Shield and the Canglan Umbrella, extremely strenuous.
"Bang~" With difficulty, she blocked another attack from the Shadow Awl with the Canglan Umbrella, but Yu Qingtan knew she couldn't hold out much longer.
As the effect of the pitch-black darkness dissipated, Yu Qingtan regained her sight and the Dark Cone did not attempt that technique again, but continued to control the Shadow Awl for its assault.
Yu Qingtan looked towards the eastern city gate and saw that the figures of Shui Qingrou and the two other women were no longer there.
Yu Qingtan felt considerably relieved.
Her eyes fixed fiercely on the black-robed elder, Dark Cone, Yu Qingtan blocked two more attacks, buying a moment of time, and then took out an ancient and exquisite talisman, immediately activating it with her spiritual power.
Cursing that she had to expend a Third Stage Escape Talisman, she swore to pulverize this man into dust at the next opportunity.
The moment Dark Cone saw Yu Qingtan take out the Escape Talisman, he knew it was bad news. Regrettably, he was powerless to stop it—if he had a way to instantly kill Yu Qingtan, he would have used it long ago.
Dark Cone was the leader of the Wendao Immortal City branch of the Misty Rain Tower; after the outbreak of the great battle, he had taken notice of Yu Qingtan.
He happened to know about the Monkey-faced Eagle tribe of the Yunhua Mountain Range offering the Longevity Fruit as a bounty for Yu Qingtan. With his limited lifespan, he was naturally extremely interested.
When he noticed Yu Qingtan, she had already demonstrated the ability to slay Third Stage Sea Clan members, which made him, skilled in assassination, doubt his chances of capturing her alive.
He attempted a sneak attack, hoping to severely wound Yu Qingtan and then take her captive. After failing, he decisively opted to eliminate her instead, not expecting Yu Qingtan to possess a Third Stage Escape Talisman.
Looking at the place where Yu Qingtan had vanished, Dark Cone couldn't help but sigh with regret. A Third Stage Escape Talisman could transport one a thousand li away; it was impossible for him to locate her immediately. He had no choice but to leave and find another opportunity later.
...
Outside Wendao Immortal City, in the high skies where dense clouds gathered, the atmosphere was exceptionally oppressive.
"Wu Di, merely a Mid-Nascent Soul Cultivator, yet you dare face us three Shark Kings alone—truly the height of arrogance.
It seems the Human Race has boasted of your invincibility and you've taken it to heart. Since you're so ignorant of your own limitations, we shall feast on you, this young child of the Human Race, today. Your Nascent Soul will surely taste especially delightful."
Three Fourth Stage Late-Stage Giant-Toothed Sharks, each sixty zhang long, hovered in mid-air. Their immense size, sharp teeth, and the oppressive aura they radiated exerted an endless pressure on all around them.
Across from them hovered a young man in white robes.
The young man was five chi and six inches tall, slightly lean, with deep and handsome facial features, sword-like eyebrows, and starry eyes. His waist-length black hair was simply tied with a white ribbon.
Standing with his hands behind his back, the young man emitted no aura whatsoever, yet he imposed a great psychological pressure on the three Giant-Toothed Sharks opposite him, forcing them to make fierce declarations to bolster their own courage.
This was because the young man in front of them was none other than Wu Di, the invincible gentleman of the Cangqiong Sword Sect from the Southeast Region, another Sect Gate possessing one with Divinity Transformation. He was first on the Pride of the Heavens List, a Cultivator with an exceptional Thunder Spiritual Root, who comprehended the Sword Dao; he condensed his Nascent Soul at twenty-six, and now at thirty-one, he was already a Mid-Nascent Soul Cultivator, known by the Daoist name 'Invincible'.
Ever since Invincible Gentleman had stepped onto the path, he quelled the uprising of Demonic Beasts, subdued disasters of the Sea Clan, extinguished the flames of demonic cultivators, and had never been defeated. His reputation was imposing.
The Pride of the Heavens List even featured a poem praising him:
A realm ascended every year on the road to immortality, a Nascent Soul formed at twenty-six is a rarity of ancient times.
Unparalleled mastery over thunder spells quelled the beastly chaos, his sword skills supreme, forging the dyke against the demonic tide.

The notorious Elder Hai Qi had lost his soul, and the Demon Infant ceased his cries.
Undefeated in sweeping across the Southeast, in the Outer Realm of Lichuan, I am invincible.
Facing the Giant-Toothed Shark's threats, Wu Di showed disdain and said indifferently,
"Sha Bi, Sha Diao, Sha Cai, with such a huge body size and giant teeth, yet incredibly foolish. I reckon you are nothing but chickens and dogs, mere trash that stakes their heads in exchange for some reputation. Today, you shall taste the flavor of the Giant-Toothed Shark's fins."
The three Giant-Toothed Sharks were instantly enraged, as rulers of the Sea Clan, they had never been so belittled.
However, they had been battling with three late-stage Nascent Soul masters from the Wendao Sect and were only at sixty to seventy percent of their peak strength; facing this renowned invincible master, they indeed felt somewhat intimidated and dared not initiate the fight.
At that moment, a ripple went through the space in the middle area of the standoff, and a woman in a pink dress suddenly appeared—it was Yu Qingtan.
Yu Qingtan was in a rather sorry state, and although she had been continuously using the Purification Spell to cleanse the dark and eerie aura of the Shadow Awl, the purification was not fast, which made the effect of the Rejuvenation Spell and Decay and Flourish Technique slow as well.
Although her severed leg was barely reattached, the flesh and bones had not yet fully healed, and the penetrating wound from the Shadow Awl had begun to form granulation and heal slowly, but one could still see through from the front to the back.
If she hadn't been so far away, she would have preferred to destroy this avatar and condense it again.
While still considering how to make the Dark Cone and Misty Rain Tower pay in the future, she found herself appearing in such a peculiar place.
The altitude here was noticeably much higher than before; usually, an Escape Talisman wouldn't show such a big difference in altitude before and after teleportation, but most things have their exceptions.
As soon as she appeared, Qing Tan was overwhelmed by the aura of the fourth-stage Giant-Toothed Sharks and sent flying backward, vomiting another mouthful of fresh blood, which further aggravated her injuries.
However, a moment later, Qing Tan felt the pressure on her body suddenly disappear, as she was enveloped by a spherical lightning. The fine lightning strikes hitting her body caused no harm but instead drove the dark, eerie aura from her body and accelerated the healing of her wounds.
Qing Tan finally saw the situation clearly: three later-stage fourth-stage Giant-Toothed Sharks were confronting the invincible master. Qing Tan recognized him at a glance, as the Pride of the Heavens List had a portrait of the invincible master. Explore more at empire
At that moment, Qing Tan was overwhelmed with shock, wondering how she had been teleported by an Escape Talisman to such a place. Fortunately, the invincible master did not allow her to be casually wiped out by the Giant-Toothed Sharks, even using the Spring Thunder to heal her injuries.
The Invincible Master, practitioner of the Four Seasons Thunder Sword technique.
Spring Thunder brings creation; Summer Thunder is extremely quick and fierce; Autumn Thunder harbors lovesickness; Winter Thunder commands execution.
Seeing Master Wu Di protect this human girl, Sha Bi's not-so-abundant intelligence lit up, and he communicated telepathically with Sha Diao and Sha Cai.
Then Sha Bi, Sha Diao, and Sha Cai writhed their bodies, forming a massive yellow barrier, and then swiftly advanced towards Qing Tan's location, shielding with the barrier.
Although Giant-Toothed Sharks are part of the Sea Clan, their innate spells mainly comprise earth attributes, and the Dao Domains they comprehend are also of the earth attribute.
Wu Di had to treat the attack from the Giant-Toothed Sharks with caution.
Strategically belittle the enemy, but tactically value them.
With a flash, he appeared not far from Qing Tan, surrounded by thunder, forming a hundred-zhang-wide Thunder Domain in the sky, lightning continuously striking down into it.
The two Dao Domains collided, making crackling noises at the junction.
The Giant-Toothed Sharks opened their mouths and spewed out huge teeth, shooting them towards Qing Tan's position.
Giant Tooth Sword.
The teeth of the Giant-Toothed Sharks could easily regrow, thus Sha Bi and the others used them as a common long-range attack method, each attack possessing the power of a late-stage fourth level.
