Instant Kill

On the path of spiritual practice, life and death are the norm.

"Madam Tian, please accept my condolences!"

Since they weren't that close, Li Weiyi found it hard to empathize and immediately asked who "Di Ran" was.

In the valley, of the group that attacked them, Li Weiyi only recognized "Xue Qi" of the Sui Sect and "Chen Song" of the Three Chen Palace, and it Shang Zhi who told him when they entered the mountain.

Zuoqiu Lanlan stopped her tears and said resentfully, "Di Ran is a disciple of Zen Master Xinku, one of the three great Zen masters of Coffin Mountain. Like his master, he enjoys cannibalism and is cruel beyond measure. However, he has the cultivation of the Second Realm of the Five Seas Realm, and is Deformed Race has broken through the Five Seas from the Nine Springs. He has drunk the blood of two Ancient Immortal Giant Beasts, and his strength is extremely powerful..."

After hearing her story, Li Weiyi knew who it was: the Deformed Race Martial Cultivator who was about four meters tall and had a pair of metal wings. At that time, he was wearing the Departed Spirit Human Skin and flying over the valley. Shang Zhi was killed by the metal feathers that flew out of his body.

"Madam Tian, do not grieve. I am determined to kill Di Ran!"

Li Weiyi's first reason was to avenge Shang Zhi, since he had accepted money from the deceased. Secondly, he found the cannibalistic monster repulsive and wanted to eliminate it.

Zuoqiu Lanlan stared at him with her large, watery eyes in surprise.

Of course, she knew that "Sima Tan" was just a polite way of comforting her. After all, Di Ran's cultivation and combat power had already reached the top of the Second Realm of the Five Seas Realm, far beyond what a martial artist in the First Realm of the Five Seas Realm could measure up. But she still felt somewhat comforted.

As for the title "Madam Tian, "Zuoqiu Lanlan felt something was off; no one had ever addressed her that way before.

Li Weiyi stepped forward to Zuoqiu Baiming and, seeing his miserable state, reminded him, "Senior Brother Baiming, your Departed Spirit Human Skin seems to be torn. Is it alright?"

Zuoqiu Baiming was deeply shocked. He merely glanced at Li Weiyi and remained silent.

He possesses the Pure Immortal Body of the Nine Springs, having broken through the Five Seas. Although he lacks the Hundred Meridians, he is still considered to have a promising future and would be a top-tier genius among Myriad Gate Families.

But his first experience leading a team independently ended in such a crushing defeat, leaving him with a broken leg and a disability. His will was almost broken, so how could he possibly be in the mood to speak?

Zuoqiu Lanlan said with deep concern, "Senior Brother Baiming's leg was severed by Xue Qi of the Sui Sect. His Departed Spirit Human Skin is broken, so he can no longer fight. If he activates his internal energy, he may spontaneously combust and die at any time. Fortunately, you are still alive, otherwise I... I don't know what I would do."

Li Weiyi pondered this inwardly.

The current situation is naturally dire for the Zuoqiu Courtyard, but it is as good as it could be for the Jiu Li Tribe.

Zuoqiu Baiming, who has lost a leg, will inevitably harbor deep resentment towards the Sui Sect and Coffin Mountain and other forces. After returning home, this resentment will surely affect his relatives and elders.

The resentment of Zuoqiu Lanlan, a widow, was enough to ignite the anger of some of the elders in the Zuoqiu Courtyard.

We can't let them die; we have to save them.

"Wait me a moment."

Li Weiyi walked into the stone forest of Giant Stone Statues, took out Shang Zhi's corpse from the Evil Camel Bell, and carried it on his back.

When Zuoqiu Lanlan saw Li Weiyi carrying Shang Zhi's body back, she gave a bitter smile, as if she had expected it. "He's dead too?"

"They were also killed by Di Ran."

Li Weiyi took off the Talisman Robe from Shang Zhi and handed it to Zuoqiu Lanlan: "Give this to Senior Brother Baiming; it might be of some use."

"How did his body end up in this stone forest?" Zuoqiu Lanlan asked curiously.

Li Weiyi was too lazy to explain further, and casually said, "I carried him out of the valley, and I must bring him back to the Beast Li Tribe for burial no matter what."

Zuoqiu Lanlan remained silent, a flood of thoughts crossing her mind. Her gaze towards Li Weiyi was now filled with boundless admiration.

The situation in the valley was extremely critical at the time. The three members of Zuoqiu Courtyard didn't even have time to retrieve the high-level magic artifact, the Yin Banner. On the contrary, "Sima Tan" was incredibly righteous. No matter how dangerous it was, he would never let his companions die in the wilderness.

After Zuoqiu Lanlan put the Talisman Robe on Zuoqiu Baiming, Li Weiyi said again, "We must leave quickly. This stone forest is not safe; there are terrible dangers."

"Going out means certain death. Di Ran and Chen Song are guarding outside the Stone Forest." A terrifying image flashed through Zuoqiu Lanlan's mind, and her face instantly turned pale.

"Then kill them."

Li Weiyi didn't want to linger here, nor did he want to expose his powerful trump cards like the Evil Camel Bell. His gaze fell on the high-level magic weapon, the Heavenly Flame Saber, in Zuoqiu Baiming's hand. "Senior Brother Baiming, could I borrow your blade?"

Zuoqiu Baiming finally reacted, tossing the Heavenly Flame Saber over and saying weakly, "Take it and use it."

Li Weiyi picked up the Heavenly Flame Saber and walked outside.

"I'll go with you."

Zuoqiu Lanlan knew very well that hiding in the stone forest could only prevent immediate disaster. If they couldn't descend the mountain in time when the immortal clouds and mist dissipated tomorrow, the mysterious energy of the Thirty-three Li Mountain alone would be enough to cause these Five Seas Realm martial artists to spontaneously combust and die.

If that's the case, we might as well fight to the death.

If I can take someone down with me, then it won't be a loss. Even if I still die in the end, at least I'll die with dignity, without disgracing my Myriad Gate Families's reputation.

"No need, just take good care of Senior Brother Baiming."

All 120 Trace Meridians in his body had been tempered to a golden color, and the high-level magic artifacts, the Nightwalker's Robe and the Battle Blade, had further enhanced his defense, speed, and strength to their absolute peak. Li Weiyi was fully confident in defeating any opponent at the Second Realm of the Five Seas Realm.

With these two high-level magical artifacts in hand, Zuoqiu Baiming could probably defeat some people in the third stage of the Five Seas Realm.

Li Weiyi drew his sword and walked out of the stone forest, standing atop a white rock more than two meters high. Facing the misty, rocky area, he extended his senses and shouted, "Where is Chen Song? Do you know Chen Jingtang?"

The sound of wind breaking through the fog echoed through the air.

Chen Song, wrapped in the Departed Spirit Human Skin, slowly walked forward. "Knowing Jing Tang is useless. Everyone in Zuoqiu Courtyard must die. Friendships are worthless in the face of life, death, and self-interest."

Chen Song, Chen Jingtang, and Chen Wenwu are the only three Perfected Person among the younger generation of the Three Chen Palace.

Chen Wenwu is the oldest among them and has the highest talent. He possesses the Nine Springs Pure Immortal Body and is one of the top five young talents in Lizhou, serving as the face of the Three Chen Palace.

Li Weiyi glanced at the blurry figures behind Chen Song and said arrogantly, "I want to tell you that I killed Chen Jingtang. You, Chen Song, will also die by my blade."

"Are you Sima Tan?"

Chen Song's eyes narrowed, revealing a murderous intent.

Li Weiyi said that just now in an attempt to provoke Chen Song.

When a person is angry, their rationality is often overwhelmed by their emotions.

"Whoosh!"

Li Weiyi didn't respond to him at all. He leaped three zhang away in one step, and three steps later, he arrived in front of Chen Song. Under the impetus of his magic energy, the Heavenly Flame Saber in his hand released a strong and blazing flame.

This flame was no ordinary fire, but a demonic flame.

Martial cultivators below the third level of the Five Seas Realm cannot use their transformed Battle Intent to resist; even a tiny bit of it will burn through their flesh.

"Alright, today is the perfect day to avenge Jingtang."

Chen Song flicked his arm, and the Jade Bracelet on his wrist flew off.

The Jade Bracelet spun rapidly, releasing a bright radiance, and struck out along a winding, unpredictable path.

Li Weiyi bent his legs and crouched down to dodge, then slashed horizontally at the opponent's lower body, creating a crescent-shaped fiery blade strike.

Chen Song, confident in his profound cultivation and powerful magical energy, neither dodged nor avoided, and activated a palm mirror.

He unleashed a powerful palm strike.

The immense palm force and the mirror-like brilliance erupted simultaneously, colliding with the fiery blade energy, causing energy ripples to spread wildly outwards.

"Boom!"

The two of them simultaneously backed away.

As Li Weiyi retreated, he tilted his body to the left to avoid the Jade Bracelet flying from behind. He braced himself with his palms and flipped himself to land several feet away.

Chen Song retrieved the Jade Bracelet, his expression calm and composed, but his heart was in turmoil, unable to accept being defeated to a draw by someone who had crossed his cultivation level.

Although the opponent carried a high-level magic weapon, with his cultivation at the First Realm of the Five Seas Realm, he could only unleash about one-tenth of its power. He himself carried three mid-level magic weapons and could unleash two or three-tenths of their power, so he was definitely not inferior in terms of weaponry.

"As expected of Sima Tan, who was invincible in the Spring Realm, he has truly transformed from a fish into a dragon after entering the Five Seas Realm. Is he about to gain momentum?" Chen Song was extremely serious, regarding Li Weiyi as his mortal enemy.

"He's gained momentum? Then kill him right here."

The deep, resonant sound of Di Ran flames traveled through the fog.

"Swish!"

A dense rain of arrows shot out from the mist, accompanied by metallic feathers that Di Ran on the ground.

Blood mist and crimson scriptures flew out from Li Weiyi's clothes. He then held the Heavenly Flame Saber horizontally in front of him, and a fire shield larger than a human body appeared on the blade.

Before the arrows even touched the fire shield, the arrowheads melted into liquid.

The metal feathers that struck were blocked by layers of defensive forces, preventing them from hitting Li Weiyi.

The rain of arrows ceased.

Through the fire shield, Li Weiyi saw Chen Song charging towards him from the ground, wearing Wind-Riding Boots, holding a jade Jade Bracelet in one hand and a palm mirror in the other.

In the sky, the massive body of the Di Ran Creature flew out of the mist, wielding a flaming halberd, exuding extraordinary domineering power.

"Two against one? No, it's eight against two."

Li Weiyi didn't come to fight them, nor did he care about fairness; he came to kill.

Therefore, the Insect Tube was slapped.

Seven Phoenix Wing Moth Emperors flew out together and rushed towards the Di Ran.

They were like seven arrows released from a bow, whistling through the air with a sharp and dangerous sound.

On the ground, Li Weiyi and Chen Song had only exchanged three blows when Di Ran's screams came one after another, and his four-meter-long, nearly thousand-pound corpse fell from mid-air with a thud.

Chen Song and the other martial artists in the fog were terrified.

How did Di Ran suddenly die?

They didn't even see clearly what those seven colorful lights were.

Chen Song saw clearly that there were seven moths, and his eyes gradually turned to horror. "You're actually an Insect Tamer!"

Without a second thought, he turned and ran.

What a joke! Di Ran Deformed Race from the Nine Springs and Five Seas, whose combat power was slightly superior to his, but he died tragically on the spot in just a few breaths.

How can we fight like this?

Li Weiyi had been cautious about releasing the Seven Phoenix Wing Moth Emperors because he was afraid they would be devoured by the mysterious energy of the Thirty-three Li Mountain. He had already tested them yesterday while gathering herbs and found that they could withstand that power.

The Seven Phoenix Wing Moth Emperors are comparable to seven Seed Inheritors of the same realm. Each one can cross realms to kill enemies, and their combat power is not much weaker than Di Ran and Chen Song.

Seven against one, naturally, is an easy task.

"Leave Chen Song to me. You all go and deal with those martial artists in the mist. They've definitely picked Crimson Haze Exotic Medicine. Don't let them get away."

Li Weiyi drew his sword and strode after Chen Song.

Zuoqiu Lanlan stood at the edge of the stone forest of Giant Stone Statues, witnessing everything in the mist, and was utterly shocked.

Sima Tan not only transcended realms and fought Chen Song to a draw, but he also raised seven ferocious insects with astonishing combat power... No, they can't be ferocious insects, they must be extraordinary insects.

Only juvenile, extraordinary insects can enter the Thirty-three Li Mountain.

The one-legged Zuoqiu Baiming silently appeared behind her, gazing into the mist and listening to the sounds of battle and screams rising and falling. "Lan Lan, our deaths are imminent!"

Zuoqiu Lanlan asked blankly, "Senior Brother Baiming, what do you mean? Sima Tan can definitely handle them; he's really strong."

A hundred words from a person are useless; a single act of teaching will truly touch one's heart.

Zuoqiu Baiming seemed to suddenly become mature and composed, all arrogance gone. He smiled bitterly, "It's precisely because he's too strong that we're doomed."
