Encountering the Departed Spirit Townsfolk of Immortal Burial Town Again
"They really won't listen to advice."
Li Weiyi didn't even turn around. Blood mist and crimson scriptures erupted from his body. The moment the three demons' enormous bodies approached, he spun and flew up, and a vortex of blood mist appeared around him.
The three demons' attacks instantly lost their direction.
Their centers of gravity were unstable, and they were completely powerless to resist. They were flung away by the vortex of blood mist and smashed into pieces.
Li Weiyi was too lazy to waste time killing them. After landing, he rushed to the valley entrance at top speed, only worried that the three top experts of the Second Realm the Five Seas Realm from Tianya Ridge, Sui Sect, and Coffin Mountain would catch up after he dealt with Zuoqiu Baiming.
Those three were all top-tier figures, and each wielded a powerful magical artifact; facing any one of them would be a headache.
The valley entrance is in sight, getting closer and closer.
Suddenly, someone shouted, "Someone has escaped! Fire arrows!"
A series of whistling and dense sounds of wind breaking through the air came from behind.
"Swish!"
Arrows rained down, densely packed with black dots.
Furthermore, there are hidden arrows fired from heavy crossbows, which are extremely dangerous.
This kind of formation is just like a battlefield.
Outside the valley, six martial artists at the Five Seas Realm from the Sui Sect and the Three Chen Palace stood in the forest, watching Li Weiyi rush out of the valley and continuously swing his sword to deflect arrows aimed at his face.
He paid no heed to the rain of arrows aimed at him.
Strangely, these arrows couldn't actually harm him.
"What an amazing defensive Magic Tool Battle Robe! I want it!"
"Haha, let's see who has the best skills. Whoever kills him gets the Magic Tool Battle Robe."
"I want that Green Yin Banner."
Immediately, three of the most aggressive martial artists at the Five Seas Realm rushed out. They were all top experts of the First Realm, carefully selected. The weakest of them was also Deformed Race had broken through the Eight Springs and Five Seas.
The other three followed slowly, not underestimating their opponent.
In today's battle, we must eliminate them all; there can be no mistakes.
"Much stronger than those three Demon Cultivators."
Li Weiyi glanced at the three people who were attacking with a division of labor. Without slowing down, he activated the Green Yin Banner in his hand, using it as a spear, and thrust it fiercely at the Five Seas Realm martial artist who was charging at the front with a shield and magic weapon.
The Yin Banner burst forth with a brilliant blue light, and the spirits within roared.
The martial artist from the Three Chen Palace Five Seas Realm came head-on. He felt the terrifying pressure emanating from Li Weiyi, and his expression changed drastically. He put his legs into a bow stance and exhaled a large amount of magical energy to activate his shield.
A circular light mark, one zhang in diameter, appeared on the surface of the shield.
"Bang!"
The light seal and the magical shield shattered upon contact.
The martial artist from the Three Chen Palace at the Five Seas Realm was pierced through the body by the Yin Banner, his physical body exploding into pieces.
That was too overwhelming; martial artists of the same level died on the spot in a single round.
That Deformed Race Martial Cultivator, who could shatter eight springs and break five seas, wielded his bronze-cast magic weapon, the heavy mace.
The mace weighed six thousand catties and cleaved Li Weiyi's head in two.
Another, even stronger female martial artist from the Five Seas Realm, with a slender and beautiful figure, transformed into a phantom, circled around to Li Weiyi's lower right side, and thrust her sword, as fast as a beam of light, towards his waist and abdomen.
Li Weiyi swung his sword with his left hand, clashing it with the heavy mace. Sparks flew, and the magical energy spread out like ripples.
The Deformed Race Martial Cultivator, who had broken through eight springs and five seas, coughed up blood and was thrown away by the immense force transmitted from the blade.
"Such immense power."
Li Weiyi looked at the damaged magical weapon sword in his hand, sighed in admiration, and then threw the sword away.
A slight pain shot through his lower back and abdomen. He glanced down at the female martial artist at the Five Seas Realm who was attacking him with a sword. "Her speed is acceptable, but her strength is too weak to break through my defenses."
The female martial artist at the Five Seas Realm was terrified, her face paling. She had never encountered such a strange thing before.
Her sword strike was no weakling. Even with defensive Magic Tool Battle Robe, the penetrating power from the sword tip should have broken his ribs and injured his internal organs.
"Bang!"
Li Weiyi waved the Yin Banner, sending her flying like a scarecrow, her bones shattered in more than a dozen places, her body covered in blood, and she fell limply to the ground, unable to get up again.
Before the three Five Seas Realm martial artists following behind could even make a move to save them, the three in front had already been killed.
Some died, some were wounded.
They were terrified and caught in a dilemma.
Is this really a martial artist at the First Realm of the Five Seas Realm?
Even martial artists at the Second Realm of the Five Seas Realm aren't this terrifying.
"Boom!"
Chen Song stepped onto a cloud of magical energy, bursting out of the dense forest and descending from mid-air, the Wind Force beneath his feet dissipating in all directions.
He was wrapped in the Departed Spirit Human Skin, making him look like a slightly overweight Old Man with messy long hair. His eyes were very sharp, and he locked onto Li Weiyi with his Battle Intent.
With just a brief exchange of glances, Li Weiyi instantly made a rough judgment about his strength: far superior to Yuan Sheng, and even much stronger than Chen Ying.
Without a second thought, Li Weiyi immediately activated his Nightwalker's Robe, pushing his speed to its limit.
They fled into the dense forest on the right.
"Trying to leave?"
The Wind-Riding Boots on Chen Song's feet were a mid-tier magic weapon purely for speed. His figure became blurred as he lifted off the ground and rode the wind to catch up.
At the same time, a Jade Bracelet on her wrist spun and flew off.
The spiritual energy erupting from the Jade Bracelet tore through the air and chased after Li Weiyi.
Li Weiyi dared not take the blow head-on, so he turned around and unleashed the Green Yin Banner.
"Boom!"
The spinning Jade Bracelet, upon contact with the Yin Banner, instantly changed direction and smashed towards Li Weiyi's head.
Li Weiyi broke out in a cold sweat and used his bare hands to perform the "Spirit Treasure Seizing," transforming into a thousand-armed Buddha to grab the Jade Bracelet. But he couldn't hold on to it; it was spinning rapidly, so he had to immediately throw it away.
"Boom!"
The Jade Bracelet crashed to the ground several meters away, sending dirt flying and creating a large crater.
Chen Song, who had caught up, was secretly shocked. How could someone break through the attack of a mid-level magic weapon like that?
He immediately took the person in front of him very seriously. His Battle Intent and magical energy surged behind him, and he threw a punch in mid-air. The fist's light and shadow were as large as a millstone, and the magical energy surged like a giant tide, one wave after another.
"Boom!"
Li Weiyi used the Yin Banner to clash head-on with Chen Song, his body exploding backward. He then pushed his speed to the limit to escape. When he encountered a martial artist at the Spring Realm who tried to intercept him in the forest, he didn't linger in battle but instead rammed into them with his body, sending them flying.
Chen Song landed back on the ground, his eyes solemn. He had never seen such a powerful martial artist at the First Realm of the Five Seas Realm.
Four martial artists at the First Realm of the Five Seas Realm quickly arrived.
The severely injured Deformed Race Martial Cultivator asked with great apprehension, "Just what is he? Is he truly the First Realm in the Five Seas Realm?"
"Without wearing the Departed Spirit Human Skin, he must be the First Realm cultivator in the Five Seas Realm. But his strength... to be this strong, he must be a potential successor of the Zuoqiu Courtyard." Chen Song released a wisp of magical energy, rolled the Jade Bracelet back up, and put it back on his wrist.
The four martial artists, First Realm of the Five Seas Realm, paled in shock.
The successor's status within the Zuoqiu Courtyard is even higher than that of Zuoqiu Baiming. What would happen if he were to escape down the mountain?
"Let's go, let's chase after them together! We must nip them in the bud, we must do it thoroughly," Chen Song said.
"Chen Song is truly remarkable; he deserves to be Perfected Person who opened the ancestral field through his own strength."
Li Weiyi looked at his bloodied left hand, secretly pondering what method to use to deal with the situation.
Ultimately, the Yin Banner is merely a high-level defensive magic weapon; its offensive power isn't particularly strong. But the Black Iron Seal and the Evil Camel Bell are different; they're definitely enough to give him a run for his money.
In this mysterious and unknown place called Thirty-three Li Mountain, Li Weiyi didn't want to start a bloodbath; otherwise, he would have already released the Seven Phoenix Wing Moth Emperors. Who knew if the commotion of the battle would alert some undead monsters?
Getting away from that valley is the most urgent task.
After fleeing for half an hour, Li Weiyi suddenly stopped, sensing that something was wrong.
The landscape within the celestial clouds and mist has drastically changed. The trees have become sparse, and before us lies a flat area of gravel, with dense weeds growing among the stones, and clusters of luminous plants growing there.
Yes...
Crimson Haze Exotic Medicine!
There are many of them; there are more than a dozen just within sight.
Li Weiyi's heart was not entirely filled with joy; she felt that something was amiss with this place. The fact that the exotic herbs had gathered but had not been harvested was enough to explain many things.
He released Seven Phoenix Wing Moth Emperors to gather the Crimson Haze Exotic Medicine. He himself remained vigilant, alert to his surroundings and wary of Chen Song, who might catch up at any moment.
The Seven Phoenix Wing Moth Emperors were quite pleased and flapped their wings to fly towards the rubble area.
To Li Weiyi's dismay, each of them picked a plant and started eating it, showing no intention of helping him gather herbs.
"You guys are completely unreliable. Don't just focus on eating; the enemy could catch up at any moment."
In the end, Li Weiyi had no choice but to remain vigilant while personally picking the Crimson Haze Exotic Medicine.
He picked twenty-four plants in a row, and before he knew it, he had entered the depths of the gravel area. After picking the twenty-fifth plant, he realized something, slowly raised his head, and looked into the depths of the misty haze. Suddenly, his scalp tingled.
All I saw was...
Dozens of feet away in the fog stood countless Giant-Headed Figures, all motionless, as if watching him.
Li Weiyi activated the Yin Banner to bolster his courage and slowly walked over, enveloped in Light Veil. Only when he got closer did he realize that it was a group of Giant Stone Statues.
"Call!"
He let out a long sigh of relief and continued picking the remaining Crimson Haze Exotic Medicine.
But every time he turned his back to those Giant Stone Statues, he felt a chill down his spine, as if pairs of eyes were watching him. Some of the Giant Stone Statues even seemed to have moved, as if they were moving forward.
"Hallucinations are just you scaring yourself."
Just as Li Weiyi uttered those words, more than a dozen black, Giant-Headed Figures suddenly burst forth from the stone forest of Giant Stone Statues.
Some of them, only 1.2 or 1.3 meters tall, stood atop the Giant Stone Statues, their mouths, the size of bowls, revealing serrated teeth, emitting shrill, ear-piercing laughter.
Some were two or three meters tall, with heads as large as water vats, mouths taking up a third of their faces, and eyes without whites, which were jet black, constantly emitting black smoke.
Li Weiyi had never seen such a terrifying unknown creature before.
He turned and fled, but he had only gone a few dozen feet when he saw Seven Phoenix Wing Moth Emperors flying over in terror.
Li Weiyi looked ahead.
From the direction they had come from, more than a dozen figures appeared in the fog. These figures were all of normal human proportions, but they were burning with ghostly flames. They were not Chen Song and his companions at all, and they did not have any trace of human life on them.
Caught between two forces, Li Weiyi was on the verge of tears. It was all because of greed. He should never have lingered in this rocky area just to pick the Crimson Haze Exotic Medicine.
I really hope it's the group from the Sui Sect and Three Chen Palace who come, or at worst, the people from Tianya Ridge and Coffin Mountain as well.
Li Weiyi's brow lit up as he activated his Spiritual Light Bright Fire, ready to activate the Buddha's Sarira at any moment and escape into the Blood Mud Space to temporarily avoid disaster.
As the group of spirits, who appeared to be of normal human proportions, drew closer, Li Weiyi could make out their clothing and appearances. They were all pale-faced, including men, women, and children, and each had a strange, bloody character on their forehead.
"These are... the people from Immortal Burial Town..."
Li Weiyi recognized them.
Back in Immortal Burial Town, he cut his wrists and splattered his blood on the street, intending to summon his Guardian Wife. As a result, he awakened countless spirits from beneath the Immortal Burial Town's earth, causing them to emerge from the ground.
Those souls, like the residents of a small town, are what I see before me.
His entire body was wreathed in ghostly flames, and his forehead bore blood-stained markings.
How did they get to Thirty-three Li Mountain?
They... didn't seem hostile!
Just as Li Weiyi was filled with doubt and uncertainty, more than a dozen villagers from the town of the dead had already passed by him on will-o'-the-wisps and were fighting with the giant humanoid monster that was chasing him.
They can absorb celestial energy, their eyes have no pupils, only blinding white light, and they can unleash ghost fire with a wave of their hands. They are powerful regardless of age or gender.
At the beginning of the month, I'm asking for monthly votes!
