Things That Could Not Be Done
The Mang Mountain Grand Sacrifice of the Jiu Li Tribe is held every four years. The number of Coffin Retrieval from the Sea of Blood in the next four years is determined by the performance of the cultivators from each tribe during the ceremony.
The Otherworldly Coffin is the most important asset of the Nine Great Tribes, and its distribution is always uneven.
This was done to prevent the Nine Great Tribes from falling into a vicious cycle of infighting at the highest levels, which would ultimately benefit outsiders and foster traitors like those in the Four Great Sects. It was also to select true young prodigies, concentrate resources on their cultivation, revitalize the New Generation, and restore the reputation of the Myriad Ancient Clan.
This year is special. Two Perfected Person the underworld who had participated in the Mang Mountain Grand Sacrifice four years ago are also in the team, responsible for protecting the New Generation seedlings who are only teenagers.
Both of them were injured, and together with Hidden Twenty-Five and Yao Yin, they fought against the pursuit of powerful enemies from the Nine Springs, including Yang Yun and Lu Dingsheng.
One of the Jiu Li Tribe's Nine Springs Perfected Person, whose left arm had been severed, fought and retreated, saying with a heavy heart, "Our battle here is fierce, with the sounds of killing deafening, yet Cangli and the others haven't returned. Could it be as Yang Yun said earlier, that these bastards from the Four Great Sects are mainly dealing with the Five Seas Realm?"
Another member of the Jiu Li Tribe, Jiuquan Perfected Person, who had injured his leg and was limping, said, "Don't think too much about it. Cangli is the number one young talent in Lizhou. Even the Four Great Sects combined are no match for him."
As Yang Yun pursued, he laughed loudly, "Haha! The Four Great Sects are full of experts, rising like the sun, full of vigor and vitality. How can you, a decadent and corrupt Jiu Li Tribe, compare? Soon, there will be no more Jiu Li Tribe in Lizhou. Sui Sect will be the master of Lizhou. Three Chen Palace will be the second largest sect in Lizhou."
Unaffected by Yang Yun's words, Yao Yin and Hidden Twenty-Five knew that the Hidden Gate had made arrangements long ago, and that Hidden Nine and the others must have already gone to the road leading to Immortal Burial Town in the Five Seas Realm.
With them around, it would take the Four Great Sects a generation to wipe out the Jiu Li Tribe.
Compared to the battlefield in the Five Seas Realm, Yao Yin and Hidden Twenty-Five were more worried about Li Weiyi.
Li Weiyi had a clear understanding of his own strength and that of his enemies.
The five masters before us.
The most dangerous one is undoubtedly Wang Daozhen, who is at the Second Realm of the Five Seas Realm.
The five realms of the Five Seas Realm each have a vastly different combat power with each advancement. Wang Daozhen, who can be called one of the top three outstanding Outstanding Person among the younger generation of the Sui Sect Wang Family, is naturally not just someone who breaks through the Five Seas at Seven Springs.
In the Changlin Gang's mansion, Li Weiyi received a palm strike from him and was severely injured, losing his fighting ability and becoming a lamb to the slaughter.
Even if Li Weiyi had broken through to the Ninth Spring now, he would never believe that with his current cultivation level, he could be her opponent.
The difference in their levels is too vast!
But here, he has three major advantages.
Firstly, the stealth and speed of the high-level magical artifact, the Nightwalker's Robe.
Secondly, Wang Daozhen consumed a great deal of his internal energy in order to break the formation.
Thirdly, this place is very close to the Five Seas Realm, and the mysterious energy that suppresses martial artists of the Five Seas Realm is omnipresent in the world. Wang Daozhen's combat power must be greatly reduced.
Besides Wang Daozhen, the most dangerous one was the Great Mind Master the Sui Sect, whose mastery of runes had nearly killed Li Weiyi before.
The Five Seas Realm expert from the Three Chen Palace who broke the formation alongside Wang Daozhen was no less dangerous than the Great Mind Master the Sui Sect. The iron book in his hand was clearly not a low-level magic weapon.
As for the remaining Five Seas Realm of the Leopard-like Deformed Race, and the Insect Tamer of the Three Chen Palace, they are equally powerful and each has their own strengths.
At any other time, Li Weiyi would have already escaped.
But not today.
Fortunately, the Seven Phoenix Wing Moth Emperors were holding back the Leopard-like Deformed Race and the Great Mind Master, so the battle was still going to go. As long as they could hold off the five for a while and allow the young martial artists of the Jiu Li Tribe to escape into the Five Seas Realm, it would be considered a victory.
"Chen Jingtang! You and Master Liu must kill all the martial artists of the Spring Realm Jiu Li Tribe. Do not let them escape into the Five Seas Realm. Otherwise, we will face certain death when we return. Leave that kid to me!"
Wang Daozhen was under immense pressure, fully aware of what mission failure would mean.
If they cannot achieve the great feat of slaying a generation of the Jiu Li Tribe, the death of the Sixth Generation Grandson of the Demon King will make the four martial cultivators of the Five Seas Realm from the Four Great Sects culpable and they will inevitably become sacrifices.
Insect Tamer Master Liu, controlled a swarm of Iron-Eating Ant, chasing after the young martial artists of the Jiu Li Tribe who had lost the protection of the array's Light Veil. He occasionally let out a laugh, enjoying the thrill of the hunt.
The young martial arts practitioners of the Jiu Li Tribe, aged thirteen or fourteen, were overtaken by the swarming black insects. They swung their swords and blades, but to no avail. After several screams, they were devoured into piles of white bones.
Li Weiyi knew that Gao Huan and Cai Yutong were among that group of young martial arts practitioners.
There is no other way to deal with Insect Tamer than to kill them as quickly as possible, rather than fighting the insect swarm.
Li Weiyi channeled his magical energy into the Corpse Cloth Soft Armor, and in the next instant, his body was completely enveloped in a cloud of blood-red energy, giving off a chilling and eerie feeling. He charged into the swarm of insects, sword in hand, and attacked Master Liu.
The Iron-Eating Ant were terrified of the dense cloud of blood mist emanating from him and dared not attack him.
The swarm of insects immediately scattered where his foot landed.
"Your opponent is me."
Wang Daozhen chased after Li Weiyi, closing the distance continuously. He swung his Array Breaking Whip, which resembled a ten-foot-long fire dragon, leaving a bright and winding whip mark.
"Smack!"
The blood-red mist that enveloped Li Weiyi was shattered by a single lash of the whip.
Li Weiyi's gaze was fixed on Master Liu in front of him. He didn't turn around to defend himself. He used the two defensive magic artifacts, the Nightwalker's Robe and the Corpse Cloth Soft Armor, to withstand the shockwave from the Array -Array Breaking Whip.
The mere shock felt like a heavy punch to his back. His throat tasted metallic, and he swallowed back the blood he was about to vomit. Undeterred, he charged towards Master Liu.
Wang Daozhen; he withstood the attack and was determined to kill Master Liu.
This is a completely reckless fighting style!
Master Liu knew how terrifying the person before him was, and his expression changed drastically. While fleeing in panic, he released seven strands of light-like spiritual flame whip swords from between his eyebrows.
"Swish!"
The Spirit Flame Whip Sword struck Li Weiyi, but failed to break through the Nightwalker's Robe's defenses.
Li Weiyi paid no attention and slashed down with his short sword.
"Pfft!"
Master Liu's right leg was neatly severed at the thigh, and his running body collapsed to the ground.
Blood was streaming from the severed leg, and he screamed in agony.
Zhuang Yue frowned, utterly perplexed. "Why didn't you just kill that Insect Tamer with a single sword strike after risking injury to gain this opportunity, instead of only severing his leg?"
Jiang Ning saw through Li Weiyi's intentions and said, "Because he knows very well what his purpose is. It's not to kill for show, but to risk his life to save people. He wants to use his Qi Spring Realm to restrain all the enemies at the Five Seas Realm level with his own strength."
Zhuang Yue's eyes were filled with shock. "This is impossible! With his cultivation level, surviving against five people would be as difficult as ascending to heaven."
Zhuang Yue was fully confident that she could defeat the five people working together.
Even if they don't flee, we are confident we can kill them all.
But she knew she absolutely couldn't restrain the five of them and prevent them from hunting down the more than two hundred young martial artists of the Jiu Li Tribe.
Jiang Ning said, "When there isn't an absolute, overwhelming difference in cultivation level, combat wisdom and fighting will are sometimes more important than combat strength itself. Those moths of his are quite extraordinary; they must be rare insects."
"Seven Mysterious Insects?"
Zhuang Yue looked at Li Weiyi in the distance again, but this time her gaze was much more serious than before.
It should be noted that only insects at the Commander Level can be called extraordinary insects. And an adult Commander Level's combat power is comparable to that of the Dao Seed Realm.
Insect Tamer controls Seven Mysterious Insects would undoubtedly hold a high position in the military.
Who dares to underestimate them?
Li Weiyi grabbed the screaming Master Liu and threw him into the river not far from Chen Jingtang.
The Sui River was boiling, with dense bubbles on the surface.
Given the physical strength of Insect Tamer, if they were to fall into it, they would likely be cooked very quickly.
"Help me... Jingtang, help me..."
Master Liu was so frightened by the scalding steam rising from the river that his old face contorted in terror, and he cried out to Chen Jingtang for help.
Both men were under the command of the Three Chen Palace and lived nearby; it was a simple matter of helping out and wouldn't take up much time. Chen Jingtang certainly couldn't stand by and watch them die.
Chen Jingtang temporarily abandoned his pursuit of the young martial artist from the Jiu Li Tribe. He moved sideways towards the Sui River, stepping on a cloud of magical energy, and appeared on the water about two zhang from the shore.
"Whoosh!"
Reaching out a hand, Chen Jingtang lifted Master Liu, who had fallen into the boiling water, and was about to return.
But then I saw...
Li Weiyi flew in like a cloud of blood, and within that cloud of blood, a short sword thrust straight down.
Chen Jingtang was in an extremely passive situation. He frowned, unable to understand how Wang Daozhen, with his cultivation level, could not even stop a martial artist at the Spring Realm.
The cloud of magical energy beneath his feet could not sustain him standing on the water for long, especially since he was carrying Master Liu in his hands.
"He actually calculated everything in advance! Fortunately, he hasn't broken through to the Five Seas Realm yet. Once he does, he will surely leap over the Dragon Gate and soar to the heavens."
"Bang! Bang!"
Chen Jingtang possessed extraordinary combat prowess, displaying exceptional skill. With a single wave of his iron sleeve, he clashed three times with Li Weiyi's short sword.
"Damn it!" Li Weiyi's heart sank to the bottom after failing to defeat Chen Jingtang in three moves.
Chen Jingtang is at the First Realm of the Five Seas Realm, but he is very likely at the Nine Springs Breaking Five Seas Realm, and his combat power is much greater than that of the Eight Springs Breaking Five Seas Realm.
The Three Chen Palace boasts a wealth of talented young people, and its profound cultural heritage is arguably on par with that of the Sui Sect.
"This kid's agility is remarkable! I'm too late!"
Wang Daozhen's voice rang out, his heart filled with suppressed anger. He stepped into the Sui River and unleashed the Five Yuan Facing Heaven Palm.
Their bodies split into five, blocking all directions from which Li Weiyi could return to shore, and the five of them struck out together.
The five palms came down together.
Li Weiyi had already experienced this palm strike before and was mentally prepared. His ancestral energy surged towards the Corpse Cloth Soft Armor, and blood-red clouds and scriptures rushed out together.
He met the attack with both palms, the blood-red mist and scriptures swirling and dancing on his arms, colliding with Wang Daozhen's palm force.
After taking the blow head-on, Li Weiyi stepped onto the water's surface and staggered backward, spitting out a mouthful of blood that he had previously forced down. His internal injuries worsened further.
"Scriptures and ritual implements!"
Wang Daozhen envious. He stepped on the boiling river as if it were flat ground. The surging magical energy of the Second Realm of the Five Seas spread out under his feet like smoke and waves, and he rushed towards Li Weiyi in an instant.
Li Weiyi stopped confronting him directly and ran across the river, heading towards the border of the Five Seas Realm in the lower reaches of the Sui River.
Wang Daozhen realized something and looked towards the shore.
It was discovered that most of the young martial arts practitioners of the Jiu Li Tribe had fled into the Five Seas Realm and disappeared into the fog.
"Damn it, a bunch of useless trash!"
The cursing had barely subsided.
The Leopard-like Deformed Race martial artist at the Five Seas Realm let out several screams. Under the attack of the three Phoenix Wing Moth Emperors, six bloody holes appeared on his body. He collapsed to the ground, seriously injured, and it was unknown whether he was dead or alive.
On the contrary, the Great Mind Master broke through the encirclement of the four Phoenix Wing Moth Emperors, his body enveloped in spiritual light and flames, and swiftly ran towards the Five Seas Realm.
After landing, Chen Jingtang abandoned Master Liu and rushed over.
This contest between saving lives and killing has entered its final stage; both sides are fighting desperately, and both have their reasons for doing so.
There are at least a hundred young martial artists who haven't yet escaped into the Five Seas Realm.
Li Weiyi stepped on the clouds of magical energy on the water's surface, intending to go ashore and intercept the Great Mind Master and Chen Jingtang.
Behind them, Wang Daozhen's voice rang out. "You can't save them! Half of them will die in front of the Five Seas Realm, and Yang Yun and the others will take care of the other half."
