Chapter 562: Conflict with Leida and her group
The ancient ruins of Laufer, the Bud Church.

Li You stood in the center of the church, with the spiral sword piercing straight into the ground. Eight lines of fire extended from the spiral sword as the center, spreading to every corner of the church, burning fiercely.

Wherever the fire line passed, the scarlet corruption retreated, and even the corrupt butterfly of the Flower Bud Saint was ignited and turned into scattered points of light.

This is the upgraded fire domain. Not only can the size of the domain be controlled at will, but the flames within the domain can also be manipulated at will - no matter who the flame originally belongs to.

Such a powerful ability, but unfortunately still has the disadvantage of being unable to move, so there are still certain limitations. But in the flame field, Li You can almost become the monarch of flames, able to suppress most of the power of flames.

However, at this time, Li You did nothing but maintain the domain. It was Yuzu and V in the form of wood dragons who were fighting with the Bud Saint.

It’s not that Li You couldn’t move while maintaining the flame field, it’s just that the two tile-throwing men were addicted to throwing tiles and had to try to fight the enemy with the scarlet corrupt power.

The two men were very excited and said that fighting under unfavorable environmental conditions was of great reference value. However, Li You wanted to say that his fire field had already expelled the scarlet corruption.

Scarlet corruption fears fire, this is common sense in the border area, the Red Lion Army will use fire to expel corruption. And Li You's flame field is much stronger than their torches. Anyway, under the flame field, most of the abilities of the Flower Bud Saint that rely on the power of corruption cannot be used at all. Even if they are released successfully, they will be suppressed by the flame field.

Therefore, the Flower Bud Saint can only use pure physical ability to fight. Although her body, which is a mixture of a giant insect body, is powerful, it is still far inferior to Yuzu.

So this battle, which both Yuzu and V were looking forward to, was a sloppy one.

Even though the Bud Saint changed her form in the second stage, grew wings and flew into the sky, Yuzu and V followed closely behind.

The Bud Saint, who had escaped from the flame realm, was able to use an attack that contained the power of corruption. She released a sky full of corrupted butterflies to attack, which indeed hurt Yuzu and V, and even caused Yuzu to be temporarily stained with scarlet corruption, slowing down the attacks of the two.

But unfortunately, the wings of the Flower Bud Saint could not support her flying for long, and she soon had to fall back to the ground and was once again enveloped by the fire field.

In contrast, after returning to the ground, Youzi, with the help of Li You, eliminated the toxicity of Scarlet Corruption, and now he couldn't wait to pounce on it!

"Roar--!!"

The Flower Bud Saint no longer had the strength to resist and was knocked to the ground by Yuzu's palm, fainting.

"here you go!"

Li You nodded to the two people who returned: "Thank you for your hard work."

V held up Pandora and said, "Don't say it's useless, so why did we come back to fight this guy? Didn't you say before that you would keep her for the time being?"

Li You spread his hands: "Plans can't keep up with changes."

He originally thought that it might take time to find Kara, so he planned to let the Flower Bud Saint delay the time here. As for the Sealed Tree, Li You was not really worried.

Leida's group has no fire, so is he afraid that they will dig up the trees by the roots?
Who would have thought that Kara would run into Hurley in the blink of an eye, and during the contact, Hurley might have exposed his own intelligence.

So now, Li You changed his mind and planned to come directly to block Leida and her group to see if he could force Kara out.

Kara's strength is undoubtedly the strongest among Leida's group, but she can't take all the responsibility on her shoulders, and Michaela won't arrange it that way. Therefore, if Leida has problems, the probability of being able to lure Kara out is not small.

"The only problem is... we have to wait until they break through here. I don't know how long it will take."

He looked at his companions, thought for a moment and said, "Why don't we do something fun."

——After half a day.

As the faint sounds of fighting got closer, finally, Leda and her group broke through the three-layer corrupt poison pool filled with red corrupt followers and came to the vicinity of the Bud Church.

Leida, Dann and Freya all looked tired, but when they saw the door of the Bud Church, their eyes lit up.

"…This is it. The Sealed Tree is right behind!"

Leida's words were full of emotion. She looked at the Bud Church, took a deep breath, and said, "There is a blessing over there. We will rest here and then challenge again."

As they spoke, the three of them actually ran to sit next to Ci Fu and began to replenish supplies and prepare for battle.

Li You in the church: “…”

Can you do it faster?

After a long time, Leida and the other two were finally ready and entered the Flower Bud Church together.

…Then I saw Li You and his four companions who were busy playing cards.

They each brought a small stool and gathered around a small table with a few playing cards in their hands. The table was a mess with cards, snacks, wine glasses, and everything else.

Leida and the other two: “?”

Although they didn't recognize playing cards, they could see that Li You was having fun.

Li You sat with his back to the church door. He didn't even look back. Instead, he stretched out his trembling hand to the deck of cards, muttering, "I will definitely win, I will definitely win... As long as you believe in your deck, he will respond to you; with your seventeen cards, can you kill me in one second? Cangjian's mind reading, go to hell... Anyway, it's my turn, draw a card!!"

With a "swish" sound, Li You exaggeratedly pulled out the top card of the deck, maintained the posture of holding the card for a full second, and then slowly brought it in front of him and took a look, a smile appearing on the corner of his mouth.

"...I lost."

With a "pop", a small note that had been prepared long ago was pasted on Li You's face. V smiled brightly: "With your luck, you still want to play cards? You just recited a bunch of fancy words, but it was useless, wasn't it?"

Li You: "......"

Leida and the other two: “…”

"enough!"

Finally, Leida shouted angrily: "Are you kidding us?"

Li You turned around, and Leida and the other two saw that his face was covered with small pieces of paper. The three of them were almost shocked by his appearance. "What? It's Leida." Li You tore off the densely packed paper on his face, stood up and faced Leida and the others, "You are too slow. I waited so long that the flowers withered."

He pointed casually at the withering scarlet buds on the church ground and said, "If you don't come again, I will camp here."

Leida did not lose her composure. After taking a deep breath, she said, "You are bringing people to stop us here. Are you sure you want to be enemies with us and Lady Michaela?"

Li Youze had already drawn his spiral sword: "Do you even need to ask?"

"Indeed." Leida nodded. "I am just making a final confirmation. After all, from the beginning, you did not accept the guidance of Lady Michaela, but came here to look for someone."

"You know a lot." Li You pointed his sword at Leida, "Then there's no need to waste any more words. This is perfect."

The three people on the opposite side, Leida, also showed their weapons. Leida naturally used her golden light sword, and Freya also used her large curved sword. The last one, Dann, took a stance, clearly intending to use fists and feet as a means of attack.

Seeing his posture and remembering Dann's fighting style that he had seen outside the city of Ensis before, Li You's eyes lit up and he thought of something.

"...Yuzu, you are too bullying. Please help out from the side." Li You patted the shoulder of Yuzu, who had regained his human form, and asked him to stand by.

"Ow!"

Yuzu had no objection, but after hearing Li You's proposal and seeing Yuzu's reaction, Leida was obviously stunned. After all, at this stage, Li You had a clear advantage, so why would he give up on his own initiative?
But she immediately remembered her previous conclusion that Li You was a person who cared very much about etiquette and chivalry, so it didn't seem strange for him to do this - Leida immediately found a reasonable explanation.

"...You seem to have underestimated us."

There was no reaction on Li You's face, but he denied it in his heart.

Michaela's followers, including Leida and her group, gathered from all over the border area to form this team.

To be fair, there are quite a few elites among them. There is no need to say much about Leida and Dann, Freya is also a leader among the Red Lions, and Ampah is the chief of the pure-blood knights.

Even the Horned Avenger, in Li You's opinion, had good fighting power, and even Hullie was very capable when he performed exceptionally well. So Li You would not underestimate anyone around Leida.

"I don't look down on you," he answered sincerely.

On the other hand, a team that is brought together by the power of charm is ultimately like a mirage. When the charm is lifted, it will fall apart.

Now, the only ones who are still loyal to Michaela are Leida, Dan and Freya.

However, to Mikaela, their loyalty probably didn't mean much. They were people who could even ruthlessly abandon half of their own bodies. If Leida and the others were not the only warriors left, Mikaela would probably abandon these useless pawns without hesitation.

Michaela was probably disappointed that Leida and her group were unable to defeat Messermo and obtain the fire to burn the Sealed Tree, so he turned to hand over part of the "mission" to other people.

It is somewhat coincidental that to Li You, the value of Leida and her group is also close to zero.

Li You first established contact with them in order to obtain information about Kara, but now, they can no longer provide any key information.

So Li You thought it was about time to solve the small troubles here, so he came here to wait for them.

"Anyway, just come on. If you want to get closer to the Sealed Tree, you have to cross here."

That was enough. After a brief standoff, Leida suddenly took a step forward and thrust the golden sword in her hand straight at Li You!

Li You originally wanted to raise his sword to block, but he didn't expect that the thrust of the light sword was just a cover. The attack was stopped halfway, and the sword then turned into a horizontal swing, slashing towards Li You's wrist!
"This kind of swordsmanship..."

Li You didn't know whether to be surprised or sigh, and he pulled back. Leida's light sword hit the spiral sword and then was violently bounced away.

Li You then raised his sword and took the initiative to attack, swinging the spiral sword like the wind!
"Dang Dang Dang——"

While the two men's weapons were constantly clashing, their companions had already started fighting.

V faced off against Freya the Red Lion, while Edge was responsible for dealing with Dann the Fallen Leaf.

Freya has always been proud of her sword skills and strength. In the brief contact before, V has already roughly figured out her behavior and fighting style.

So at this time, V transformed Pandora into a semi-covered exoskeleton armor, holding a serrated greatsword that was also transformed by Pandora, and competed with Freya in speed and strength!
V is equipped with legendary prosthetics, which can accumulate data (experience points) and upgrade in battle. After so many battles so far, the level of the prosthetics has reached a very high level, in other words, her basic attributes have also risen accordingly.

Coupled with the enhancement of Pandora's exoskeleton armor driven by magic, V's physical fitness is not only not weaker than Freya, but even better.

“Clang! Clang, clang, clang!”

The two heavy weapons collided with each other. Freya and V refused to give in and fought with all their strength. Sparks flew between them!
As for Edge, it was a bit more troublesome. Her opponent was "Falling Leaf" Dann, who was obviously much stronger than Edge.

But Edge also understood why Li You wanted Youzi to hold the fort and let himself take the field. This was because Dann's fighting style had many things worth referring to for Edge, who relied mainly on his energy.

"Falling Leaf" Dann, a priest of the Falling Leaf sect, a master of fists and feet, is also an expert in controlling chi. The chi he exerts is exerted through physical skills, and the chi that comes out of his body is light golden. Judging from the aura, it is similar to the energy in the world of Sekiro, but different, and the power is obviously much stronger.

Aggie knew that she couldn't fight Dan head-on, so she chose a roaming tactic, keeping a distance from Dan while fighting with him with her energy, testing each other, and trying to feel the difference in his energy. The two of them, one chasing the other, made the most noise.

The battle was a bit intense. Although it had been going on for a while, no one from either side had fallen so far. Of course, there were various reasons for this.

As time went on, the battle between the two sides became more and more intense. Even Yuzu, who was holding the fort on the side, had to retreat to the door of the Bud Church to avoid being involved.

But at this moment, he seemed to have noticed something. He turned back and sniffed the air, but found nothing, so he turned around again.

When he turned around, a figure in a black feather cloak appeared silently from the bushes far outside the door.

The figure looked at the fierce battle in the Bud Church, and his eyebrows under the mask moved slightly.

"This is really...what can I say? It's not surprising, is it?"
