A Life-Buying Business
The so-called "boundary of the Five Seas Realm" is not actually a boundary.
Instead, in recent months, several martial arts cultivators at the Five Seas Realm have attempted to enter Immortal Burial Town from this direction. After crossing a certain critical point, their internal magical energy began to burn uncontrollably, and their bodies turned to ashes.
Therefore, someone moved two giant Giant Stone Statues and placed them nearby as a warning.
Boundaries are blurred.
But the invisible danger is real.
The current boundary of the Five Seas Realm is naturally defined by the remains and blood left behind from the great battle five days ago, resembling a bloody and rotten Asura region.
The short, stout Great Mind Master the Sui Sect emitted countless particles of light from between his brows, transforming an area of several dozen feet into a world of light rain. Each particle of light was like a pair of his eyes, able to perceive the outside world, and no one could approach him silently.
He called Yang Yun's name several times, but there was no response.
So, he stopped ten zhang away from the lion-headed horse and blocked Chen Jingtang from continuing on.
"I'm feeling a little uneasy, let's stay here!"
The Great Mind Master of the Sui Sect formed a hand seal, and a chain of spiritual light flew out from between his brows, like a winding serpent, extending ten feet and coiling around Yang Yun's body.
The magical chains pulled Yang Yun off the horse.
"Whoosh!"
The sound of water breaking through the Sui River nearby rang out.
Little did the two know that a person was hiding at the bottom of the boiling water.
Li Weiyi burst out of the water and shot an arrow.
The bowstring twanged like thunder.
"Watch out, there's an ambush!"
The Great Mind Master of the Sui Sect roared, disregarding his rescue of Yang Yun, and drew circles with both hands, summoning spiritual light and flames to form a shield seal in front of him.
"Boom!"
The lightning arrow struck the aura shield and exploded.
Light and lightning bolts shot out in all directions.
The Great Mind Master of the Sui Sect was thrown back by the force of the impact, and his robes on his chest were shattered into pieces.
Li Weiyi threw away his battle bow, drew a captured magical sword from his back, and, stepping on a cloud of magical energy, slashed through the air with his sword. He had to kill one person before Wang Daozhen arrived.
Without a doubt, this Great Mind Master is a greater threat than Chen Jingtang and must be eliminated first.
"It's you!"
Chen Jingtang recognized "Sima Tan" and was utterly shocked.
But as expected of someone who had broken through the Nine Springs and Five Seas realms, he was rich in combat experience and immediately brandished his iron sleeves. The Iron Cloth Battle Robe, woven from a special material, swirled like flags with each wave, creating vortexes of magical energy, in an attempt to stop Li Weiyi from attacking the Great Mind Master the Sui Sect.
At the same time that Li Weiyi broke through the water, Yao Yin burst out of the mist.
Clad in Ghost Flag, she leaped over a lion-headed steed, lightly touched its back with her toes, and rode the wind with incredible speed and agility, aiming a palm strike straight for Chen Jingtang's head.
The Medicine King's Fundamental Martial Art, the Heavenly Wind Palm Technique.
Before the palm strike even landed, an overwhelming gust of wind from the palm strike arrived first.
If Chen Jingtang wanted to stop Li Weiyi from attacking the Great Mind Master of the Sui Sect, he would have to take a palm strike from Yao Yin, which would either kill him or seriously injure him.
Forced into a corner, Chen Jingtang let out a long roar, shifted his feet, and spun around. The fist that was originally aimed at Li Weiyi turned to meet the palm strike coming from the woman in the mist.
The woman was clearly young, but she gave him a rather dangerous feeling.
Although both were at the First Realm of the Five Seas Realm, Chen Jingtang's combat power far surpassed that of other martial artists. His body remained as still as a mountain, and his fist force was domineering and powerful, shattering all the palm winds.
Wearing Silver Thread Gloves, Yao Yin's palms condensed into a silver wall several meters wide under the influence of her magical energy.
"Boom!"
Fists and palms collided solidly.
The iron sleeve that flew out from Chen Jingtang's arm collided with the Ghost Flag that also flew out from Yao Yin's body.
After a brief stalemate, Yao Yin let out a muffled thud and flew backward like a falling leaf.
Chen Jingtang immediately looked towards the other side of the battlefield, where he saw "Sima Tan" continuously swinging his sword. The Great Mind Master of the Sui Sect either raised spiritual flames or cast runes. In close combat, he was completely at a disadvantage and was hit by swords one after another.
He was killed within a few sword strikes.
There was no time to save them.
Without any hesitation, Chen Jingtang rushed towards Yao Yin, employing the strategy of "besieging Wei to rescue Zhao".
Yao Yin possessed extraordinary combat prowess and was likely a Pure Immortal Body with a hundred meridians. He didn't believe that "Sima Tan" wouldn't immediately return to his aid if he were in dire straits. He took out the Iron Book, a mid-grade magic artifact, and infused it with his magical energy.
Yao Yin landed on the ground, staggered backward, her face extremely pale. After regaining her footing, she immediately mobilized the ancestral energy to flow into the Ghost Flag on her body.
"Whoosh!"
The Nether Mist that burst forth from the Ghost Flag transformed into dark, ominous clouds.
The icy power caused a layer of white frost to form on the red earth beneath her feet.
A majestic and domineering armored ghost appeared before her, wielding its halberd and colliding with the thirty-five flying iron pages.
"Puff!"
Li Weiyi beheaded the Great Mind Master of the Sui Sect with a single sword strike, and as he turned around, he witnessed this scene and immediately threw out his magical sword.
Hearing the sharp sound of wind breaking behind him, Chen Jingtang could only sigh, turn around and flick his sleeve. With a clang, like metal clashing, he sent the magical sword flying.
"In a life-or-death struggle, you always hesitate to risk your life; you are destined for utter defeat."
Li Weiyi's feet moved with the Clear Void Cicada Evasion Step, as if treading on mist and chasing the wind.
The magical energy within his body surged into the Corpse Cloth Soft Armor, instantly enveloping his entire body in a blood mist, with crimson scriptures dancing within the mist.
"Presumptuous!"
Wang Daozhen roared and rushed towards the Five Seas Realm the moment Li Weiyi made his move. But everything happened too fast; in just two or three breaths, the sect's Great Mind Master was decapitated.
Still some distance from Li Weiyi, Wang Daozhen exhaled a breath of magical energy, which condensed into thirteen flying swords that flew out first.
Unlike Chen Jingtang, who was forced to defend himself, Li Weiyi's palm strike continued unabated, with blood mist and crimson scriptures gushing out from his arm.
"Boom!"
Chen Jingtang, no longer concerned with controlling the pages of the Iron Book, threw a punch to meet the attack.
The opponent's palm strike was exceptionally powerful, in no way inferior to his own. Moreover, the blood-red scriptures accompanying the palm strike were like countless boulders crashing down on him, causing him to cough up blood and fly backward.
At the same time, Li Weiyi was also struck by two flying swords of magical energy that flew from behind. After enduring the blows, he quickly used his movement technique to dodge the remaining flying swords.
With the aid of a high-level magical artifact-grade Nightwalker's Robe, his speed was like a shadow or a phantom.
Yao Yin, relying on the Ghost Flag, broke through the uncontrolled iron pages, leaped forward, and struck Chen Jingtang, who had not yet landed, with a palm strike, coordinating perfectly with Li Weiyi.
Wang Daozhen arrived and wielded his Array Breaking Whip.
Li Weiyi didn't fight him head-on at all, and retreated rapidly, landing not far from the boundary of the Five Seas Realm. He wiped the blood from the corner of his mouth; the place on his back where he had been hit by the flying sword of magical energy was still painful, having injured his internal organs.
Looking at Wang Daozhen, who stood several feet away, exuding murderous intent, Li Weiyi said, "Be careful. The Second Realm of the Five Seas Realm is much more dangerous here than the First Realm. Your internal energy has already become scorching hot, hasn't it? It might burst into flames if you take another step forward."
Wang Daozhen held the Array Breaking Whip, his eyes cold and deep, yet he dared not take another step forward. "You are much stronger than I imagined, and you possess great courage and skill. How could someone like you be content to cower in fear, relying on the power of heaven and earth?"
"I'm embarrassed by your praise!" Li Weiyi said.
Wang Daozhen said, "Even in this position, I dare not go all out. I must reserve some strength to resist that mysterious energy in the world, which greatly reduces my combat power. Why don't you come out and try? Perhaps you can kill me?"
Li Weiyi completely ignored him, picked up Yang Yun, and threw him back into the Five Seas Realm.
It released wisps of magical energy, gathering the thirty-five iron pages that had fallen to the ground and combining them into an Iron Book.
How did he handle it?
Yao Yin pointed to Chen Jingtang, who had been beaten and rendered incapacitated.
Li Weiyi said, "Just kill them!"
Yao Yin said, "Before the great upheaval in Immortal Burial Town, there were only a handful of young cultivators in the Three Chen Palace who could cultivate the Nine Springs Ancestral Field. Killing him would probably provoke the older generation of the Three Chen Palace to seek revenge at all costs."
Fourteen years ago, in the martial arts battle at Mang Mountain, the three Supreme Elders of the Three Chen Palace defeated the three chieftains of the Jiu Li Tribe, including Yao Yin's maternal grandfather, the chieftain of the Yao Li Tribe.
Li Weiyi said, "I predict that after the battle among the younger generation in Immortal Burial Town ends, regardless of the outcome, turmoil will inevitably erupt in Lizhou, and all rules will be destroyed. War is ruthless, and the older generation will not show mercy or hold back because you are a junior. The Five Seas Realm martial cultivators of the Four Great Sects hunting down the young martial cultivators of the Jiu Li Tribe in the Spring Realm is a living example, isn't it?"
After killing Chen Jingtang with a single finger strike, Li Weiyi removed the Iron Cloth Battle Robe from Chen's body. It was a low-level magic weapon, quite heavy, weighing more than ten kilograms.
"Aren't you going back to report? Or are you afraid to go back?" Li Weiyi asked.
Wang Daozhen said, "The wrath of the powerful figures behind the Sixth Generation Grandson of the Demon King, Yang Yun, and Chen Jingtang is enough to wipe out the Yao Li Tribe."
"Talking to you is a waste of my breath."
Li Weiyi looked into the fog behind him and heard the sound of rapid footsteps a mile away. A smile immediately appeared on his face, "These people are too slow to escape. Yao Yin, let's attack together and not let a single one get away."
Six powerful experts at the Seventh and Eighth Spring Realm arrived at the Five Seas Realm in a great panic. They all breathed a sigh of relief, feeling a sense of exhilaration as if they had escaped from danger.
They were so exhausted that they sat on the ground, panting heavily.
"Take a break, this is terrifying! Sima Tan killed the Nine Springs Perfected Person without needing a second strike; he must be a man with Hundred Meridian Lines All Silver."
"We hunted the Jiu Li Tribe, but were hunted instead. Luckily, we escaped. We need to get out of here quickly and head back to Yaoguan City. We can't stay here any longer!"
"He's absolutely terrifying; I never want to see him again. I plan to leave Lizhou immediately."
Li Weiyi emerged from the mist, his brows slightly raised, utterly speechless. "Don't tarnish my reputation. If you hadn't offended the hunting party first, would I have gone on a killing spree? I have never done anything heinous!"
The six martial artists at the Spring Realm were terrified, their faces ashen, as if they had seen a ghost. Their legs went weak, and they barely managed to stand up and try to escape. But then, Yao Yin emerged from the mist in another direction, blocking their retreat.
Everyone has a survival instinct, especially when they think of Li Weiyi's ruthless and merciless killing.
The six men were so frightened that they knelt down and begged for mercy.
Li Weiyi knew that many more martial artists would continue to flee over, and killing them all would create a truly spectacular scene, leaving him with no chance of joy. He was the last person who wanted to kill anyone.
So he said, "Whoever possesses the Crimson Haze Exotic Medicine 'Dyeing Clouds' can exchange it for their life."
"I... I have a rare medicinal herb..."
A martial arts practitioner from the Seven Springs carefully took out a Crimson Haze Exotic Medicine from his personal possession, feeling uneasy and unsure whether the other party was a person who kept his word.
He was already quite old, and even after taking the Crimson Haze Exotic Medicine to transform into Pure Immortal Body, his achievements were rather limited. Therefore, he secretly kept the elixir, intending to take it home and give it to his young son.
A ruthless hunter, but also a loving father.
Li Weiyi's casual question yielded an unexpected reward. He accepted the Crimson Haze Exotic Medicine and said, "Let's go! I'll let you off this time, but don't let me see you again."
The martial arts master from the Seven Springs scrambled out, running for several miles before finally breathing a sigh of relief. He decided to leave Lizhou immediately and return home to live out his remaining years in peace.
The remaining five were filled with envy, but then felt utterly devastated and filled with despair, for they truly had no such medicine.
Li Weiyi said, "Those who possess magical artifacts can leave them in exchange for their lives. Those who do not possess magical artifacts can buy their lives with 300,000 Silver Coin."
