Chapter 169 Breaking through the limitations of SSS existence?
Qicheng.

In some inconspicuous little corner.

The buildings here are not only old, but also low.

A courtyard with a single entrance and exit, which has a bit of the feeling of a farmyard. In the middle of the courtyard, there is a person sitting on the ground, frowning and stretching, as if he is thinking about something.

It was drizzling outside, but not a drop of rain fell into the open yard.

It's not just that.

Even if you want to look into the yard from the surrounding tall buildings, you can't see what's going on inside.

It was clearly open, but it seemed to be obscured by a layer of fog. I couldn't see clearly, and even the shadows of people could not be seen.

The person who was breathing and gaining insights in the middle of the yard was none other than Qi Cheng, and even the strongest person in this entire area.

Li Xiao!

His retreat this time can be considered to be a long one.

He didn't show up in public for a whole week.

Li Xiao was feeling the energy changes in his body at this time. He was observing carefully, fearing that any unusual movement might occur in his body.

It’s not that he was afraid that something might go wrong during his retreat, but he mainly wanted to lock up all the SSS-level energy that he absorbed from the bodies of those beast kings.

It is not easy to kill the Beast King. After all, not only are there few of them, but if the opponent is determined to die, it will be difficult to deprive him of his power.

Fortunately, Li Xiao had always been very decisive in his previous actions, and he would never hesitate when it was time to take action. This time, he absorbed a lot of energy.

It took him a week to absorb the SSS-level energies of the black python, white tiger and golden lion.

I originally thought that I could only absorb half of the energy I gathered in such a hurry, but I unexpectedly gained 70%. This is really a pleasant surprise.

It's just a pity.

Unfortunately, we were unable to capture the black bear and the mission was not completed.

If the black bear was left behind, not only would the energy absorption be greatly increased, but the beast kings in the neighboring area would also be completely annihilated here, and the future security of Qicheng would also be greatly improved.

"It seems like there is a wall in the middle. Even if the black bear's energy is absorbed by me, it is not so easy to break through this wall."

Li Xiao touched his chin and thought.

He seemed to feel that the upper limit of SSS level was like a ban.

Even if you have absorbed all the energy you need from your feelings, when the time comes for a breakthrough, some unexpected situations may occur.

Ok……

But no matter what, you have to find opportunities and ways to try them out later, otherwise you will never know the right way to go.

He stood up, and the tree of mutation was still green and lush.

The fruits are hidden among the branches and leaves, and it is difficult to see them unless you look carefully.

He picked one or two at random, and after strengthening the entrance, they turned into streams, flowing down the throat, giving people a refreshing pleasure.

At this moment, the help that the Strengthening Fruit provided to Li Xiao could almost be said to be better than nothing.

But putting aside its special properties, it can be eaten as an ordinary fruit.

Whether from the perspective of taste or sweetness, the fortified fruit can be said to be ranked top 1 among the fruits Li Xiao has ever eaten.

After a while, Li Xiao pulled his thoughts back from cultivation and energy, and then he reacted.

wrong……

Why does it feel like the surroundings are too quiet?

It's not just quiet, it's too quiet!

Not to mention the endless stream of people who wanted to visit him, it was so noisy, and Li Xiao really didn't like this noisy environment.

But there was no trace of Chen Xuan and Yi Xue. Isn't this a bit strange?

I thought about it for a while.

It seems like I haven't heard any movement around me in the past few days. It has been so quiet.

He quickly scanned the surroundings with his consciousness.

so far so good.

Although Li Xiao's courtyard is very remote in Qi City, there are still some streets around it.

If you take a closer look, you will find that the flow of people on the streets has not only not decreased, but is even more than usual.

This is probably because the satellite city and the main city of Qi have been opened to traffic at this time.

It's so lively that nothing big must have happened.

Then it doesn't matter.

What made Li Xiao a little bit strange was that as the defender of a city, Chen Xuan had already repelled the beast tide and was left with various post-war disposal issues.

Whether it was rewarding people based on merit, distributing pensions, or the influx of a large number of survivors, it would not be an exaggeration to say that he was extremely busy.

He understood very well that Chen Xuan didn't have time to come.

But Yi Xue...

What is the situation?
He remembered that Yi Xue was a very introverted person.

If I were in seclusion, it would be very likely that Yi Xue would follow suit. After all, his own yard now had spiritual energy that was ten times richer. Given the relationship between Li Xiao and Yi Xue, Li Xiao had already invited Yi Xue to come to his yard for seclusion in the future. After all, there was more than one room in the yard.

But there was no sign of anyone entering or leaving the room, so it was obvious that even Yi Xue had not been there.

So where did she go...?
"Hey, little brother."

Courtyard, gate.

There were two people standing there, looking straight ahead with serious expressions.

They work in three shifts, each shift lasts eight hours, and they take turns like this.

In fact, the third shift is already very hard work. You have to stand here straight and motionless for eight hours, and always observe any movement around you.

This is a big challenge both mentally and patiently.

But even so, none of them complained, and they all scrambled to come here to stand guard.

If you tell him not to stand guard, he will definitely get angry in front of you.

Because they know that this is to stand guard for Lord Li Xiao, the hero of all mankind in this area!

Not to mention eight hours, they would even be willing to work in two shifts for twelve hours!
At this moment, a psychic who was standing guard seriously suddenly heard someone calling him.

Ok?
Without moving his body or even his head, he glanced around.

No one is passing by?
The road leading to the yard where Li Xiao was located was blocked, and no one could get through.

Not to mention this road, even the alleys close to this yard will be searched by plainclothes psychics if you want to pass through them, without any sloppiness.

He thought he had heard it wrong, but the voice called him again.

Is this haunted?
He was stunned for a moment, but being so smart, his heart instantly turned into ecstasy.

There is only one possibility, that is, Lord Li Xiao is calling him!
Lord Li Xiao has come out of confinement!
He didn't care whether he was on guard or not, and immediately turned around to look, and sure enough, he saw that the door was already open.

A young man was looking at him with a smile.

Then he said something that stunned the smart man again.

"Where's Yi Xue? Do you know where she is?"
