Stop War Sword, Chen Wenwu

Are you trying to scare me?

Li Weiyi was completely fearless.

Chen Lian said, "I am warning you that you must be self-aware when deliberately provoking. Do you think that you will be safe just because you have made friends with a few dandies from Zhizhou and are in Tiange?"

Li Weiyi glanced at the group of young prodigies from Zhizhou on the table, and sure enough, none of them looked happy.

In a place like Heavenly Pavilion, almost all the surrounding pavilions are occupied by prominent figures from the Southern Territory. Countless people are secretly watching the show; if they fail to regain face, the embarrassment will be immense!

Qi Wangshu remained remarkably calm and advised, "This Chen Lian is a master of the Fourth Realm of the Five Seas, no simple matter. Brother Chi, if you bear with it, things will naturally calm down. Battles and killings happen frequently in the Heavenly Pavilion. To suffer a defeat here would not only be shameful but could also cost you your life."

Qi Wangshu could tell that Li Weiyi's cultivation level was not high, at most the third stage of the Five Seas Realm, which could be judged by the intensity of the magical energy he intentionally or unintentionally emitted.

If he acted impulsively and was killed by Chen Lian in the Heavenly Pavilion, should Qi Wangshu, as his companion, intervene?

Chen Lian alone is already extremely difficult to deal with; who knows if there are other experts from the Three Chen Palace in that building?

The embarrassment now is just being branded a playboy; after all, Qi Wangshu never denies that he is a playboy.

"Brother Qi, what are you saying? Am I the only one who's lost face? Aren't all of us here being mocked and humiliated by him?"

With a loud bang, Li Weiyi slammed his hand on the table and looked at Li Ling beside him. "Go and teach him a lesson!"

The talented young men of Zhizhou present were utterly astonished. They all thought his impassioned speech meant he was going to take action himself. Who would have thought he would send his female companion to stand up for him?

Can she do it?

Some tried to dissuade her, but Li Weiyi stopped them, saying confidently, "Chen Lian is nothing to me; Ling'er can handle him. Don't stop, keep playing the music, keep dancing."

Li Ling heard Li Weiyi's serious voice transmission. "Chen Lian's appearance in Giant Marsh City is definitely not simple. Be ruthless and see how many people they have and what their intentions are."

Li Ling had already stood up. As a member of the Jiu Li Tribe, her hatred and animosity towards the Three Chen Palace far surpassed that towards Li Weiyi.

Now, with the guidance of Zen Sea Observing Mist, his strength has greatly improved, and he is eager to test his skills.

"Splash! Splash..."

She removed her mask, her legs radiating blue light as she strode across the water as if walking on solid ground. "Chen Lian, you're right. The Jiu Li Tribe and the Three Chen Palace are already locked in a life-or-death struggle. Today, right here in the Heavenly Pavilion, do you dare accept my challenge? Let's settle this once and for all."

Ripples spread out beneath her feet, Li Ling quickly ascended to the circular platform in the center of the lake.

The Pure Immortal Body dancer from the Immortal Forest seemed to be used to it. She gracefully bowed to Li Ling and then soared away, displaying her extremely high level of martial arts cultivation.

"Ling'er, it's you."

After recognizing Li Ling, Chen Lian's frost-like expression melted away, revealing a bright and sunny smile. He then flew from the six-story pavilion onto the long bridge of magical clouds and mist towards the jade terrace in the center of the lake.

"You call me 'Ling'er'?"

Li Ling's smooth, jade-like arm suddenly swung out, the nine silver rings on her wrist colliding violently. Driven by the spiritual light surging from between her brows, they transformed into nine wisps of silver light that flew out.

Within the silvery mist, there were countless circular light and shadows, and the number of silver rings was innumerable.

"Swish!"

Chen Lian knew that Li Ling was Great Mind Master of the Skyfire Realm, but he didn't take it seriously. He drew a circle with his finger, easily creating a vortex of magical energy that swept all the silver rings into it and then collected them in his palm.

"Whoosh!"

A layer of arrayed Light Veil rose from the lake, enveloping all the pavilions surrounding the lake.

An elder from the Heavenly Pavilion appeared, but did not intervene. He simply said in a hoarse voice, "The cost of activating the formation, as well as the losses incurred in the battle, will be included in your expenses for today."

"It's all on me."

Chen Lian, elegant and graceful, landed lightly on the dragon-carved railing at the edge of the Jade Terrace, nine silver rings hovering in his palm. "Ling'er, you are no match for me! Along the way from Immortal Burial Town to Giant Marsh City, I have killed five or six young martial artists of the Jiu Li Tribe, but I could never bear to hurt you. You should understand my intentions."

"Chen Lian, you are too arrogant. Do you really think that the martial artists of the Jiu Li Tribe can be slaughtered by you?"

As soon as Li Ling finished speaking, a bright light burst forth from between her brows. With a light step, the entire Qiongtai burst into flames, transforming into a terrifying sea of fire that covered an area of ten zhang in radius.

The lake water boiled, and waves of heat rushed toward the various pavilions along the water's edge.

After collecting the nine silver bracelets, Chen Lian still looked down on the girl before him as before, but at this moment, a chilling warning of danger appeared. It was clearly too late to release his Battle Intent or take out magical weapons from his storage bag.

He was horrified and instinctively channeled his magical energy into his Wind-Riding Boots, hoping to escape using his speed and agility.

"Where do you think you're going!"

Li Ling shouted, and a rune flew out from between her eyebrows like a shooting star, rushed to the top of Chen Lian's head and exploded, transforming into a ten-meter-long golden Giant Sword.

The telekinetic energy and Sword Qi locked onto Chen Lian, making it impossible for him to dodge.

"You..."

Chen Lian's eyes widened in terror, and he let out a long howl.

The magical energy within the four Qi Sea was desperately expelled, condensing into a cloud-shaped shield seal.

"Boom!"

The golden Giant Sword cleaved through the clouds of magical energy with unstoppable force. Amidst a burst of bloody light, Chen Lian was sent flying backward like a kite with a broken string, a deep line of blood appearing from his shoulder to his stomach.

The wound is deep.

He mobilized his powerful internal energy to close the wound; otherwise, blood would have been gushing out, exposing his internal organs.

The power of the Golden Sword Talisman is actually equivalent to the full-force attack of a martial artist at the Fourth Realm of the Five Seas. As long as Chen Lian does not underestimate his opponent, he will not be seriously injured by a single sword strike.

Li Ling used her spiritual power to retrieve the nine silver bracelets, and then launched them out again.

"Ding ding!"

Chen Lian gritted his teeth. His internal organs were damaged, and blood kept flowing from his mouth. He quickly took out his magical weapon, the Seven-Pronged Halberd, and swung it around to defend himself. However, most of his magical energy was diverted to healing his wounds, and he could only exert half of his full combat power.

The defeat is inevitable.

If no one comes to my rescue, I will surely die at Li Ling's hands today.

The talented young men of Zhizhou in the Cloud Pavilion were already so shocked by Li Ling's cultivation level that their eyes almost popped out of their sockets.

"Brother Chi... this Miss Ling'er is actually Great Mind Master of the Skyfire Realm. How old is she?" asked Song Nanying.

Li Weiyi said, "Sixteen years old, almost seventeen!"

Song Nanying secretly gasped.

Someone said, "Miss Ling'er truly lives up to her Pure Immortal Body; her cultivation speed is beyond our reach."

Qi Wangshu's eyes gleamed with admiration. "Miss Ling'er's skill in talismanic arts is extraordinary. Among the Great Mind Master of the Skyfire Realm, I have never seen such powerful talismans."

"So-so! Among all of her master's disciples, she's the worst," Li Weiyi said calmly.

Qi Wangshu asked again, "Brother Chi, what exactly is your relationship with Ling'er?"

It's no wonder he was suspicious; everyone else present also looked doubtful.

They could tell that Li Weiyi's cultivation level was definitely not high, at least not a match for Miss Ling'er. But he had previously addressed her as "Ling'er," which clearly indicated that their relationship was not ordinary.

"Our relationship is just as everyone imagines." Li Weiyi didn't elaborate further, searching for the mysterious figure hiding in the shadows while keeping a close eye on the sixth-floor pavilion beside him.

Everyone present was filled with awe and respect.

Despite being a mortal with inferior cultivation and strength, Chi Yongsheng managed to capture the heart of a Pure Immortal Body Proud Daughter of Heaven, making her obedient and compliant to his every whim.

This method...

Not simple!

Immediately, talented young men from Zhizhou subtly inquired about this skill of "living off a woman's money while forcing her to work hard," showing great interest in it.

Li Weiyi suddenly stood up and shouted, "Are you trying to gang up on us?"

All I saw was...

Two figures, their feet treading on magical energy, flew out of the window from which Chen Lian had leaped earlier, and swiftly sped towards the battlefield in the center of the lake.

The two individuals, one male and one female, were both at the third level of the Five Seas Realm.

They were going to rescue Chen Lian.

"Puff!"

"Puff!"

Two Golden Sword Talisman flew out from between Li Ling's eyebrows, cleaving the two young masters in two swift and deadly attacks. Their bodies were mangled, and their blood stained the lake.

Many onlookers in the shadows were shocked.

Li Weiyi, carrying the Heavenly Flame Saber, rushed to the lakeside and stopped.

Because Li Ling had used nine enlarged silver bracelets to bind the severely injured Chen Lian into a human stick.

The human stick flew through the Cloud Pavilion and crashed heavily at Li Weiyi's feet, rolling on the ground.

Chen Lian was no longer the dashing and arrogant man he once was. Blood was still seeping from the wound in his abdomen, and his face was deathly pale.

Li Ling returned across the water, wielding her Seven-Pronged Halberd. A group of talented individuals from Zhizhou rushed to greet her, showering her with compliments.

Mastering a rune whose power rivals that of Fourth Realm of the Five Seas is nothing extraordinary, because in battle, others won't give you the chance to draw a second rune.

However, the rune that Li Ling is proficient in is clearly a type of rune that can be stored.

That's completely different!

Who knows how many of these runes she has stored in her Forehead Spirit Realm?

Even a master at the Fifth Realm of the Five Seas would feel uncertain facing her.

Li Weiyi returned from the lake, carrying a mutilated corpse in each hand. He examined the treasures on the bodies and stored them all in his storage bag. Afterward, he prepared to interrogate Chen Lian. The large number of experts from the Three Chen Palace appearing in Giant Marsh City was definitely not simple.

"Call!"

A cold wind suddenly rose.

The waves on the lake surface piled up, growing increasingly rapid.

An aura of power that chilled everyone in the Cloud Pavilion to the bone erupted from the sixth-floor pavilion beside them.

Li Weiyi's muscles tensed uncontrollably, his mind became solemn, and his hair stood on end.

"Clang!"

A piercing sword cry erupted from an unknown point in space, resounding throughout the entire Twenty-Eight Gates of the Heavenly Pavilion. The swords in the hands of many martial artists trembled along with it.

"As expected of Cangli's sister, I underestimated you before!"

A powerful and unparalleled young voice echoed across the lake, carrying great momentum.

The lanterns swayed, and the doors and windows shook.

"Boom!"

The lake surface suddenly exploded, forming a wave three zhang high, which rushed towards Li Weiyi and Li Ling in the Cloud Pavilion on the lakeside.

The waves were as high as city walls, and as they surged, they quickly condensed into white, transforming into countless ice swords. These ice swords seemed to know how to walk, coming ashore.

"It's Chen Wenwu!" Li Ling exclaimed in surprise.

How could she not be shocked? This was the number one expert of the younger generation in the Three Chen Palace, wielding the Stop War Sword, and had already defeated more than ten senior experts. Her brother, Cangli, had a very high opinion of Chen Wenwu, saying that among the younger generation in Lizhou, only he could reliably defeat Chen Wenwu.

This is someone who could contend for second place in Lizhou; of course, there are several such individuals.

Li Weiyi was already on guard and immediately took out the high-level defensive magic weapon Green Yin Banner, and plunged it into the ground.

"Boom!"

A blue array of light and armored undead soldiers rushed out, colliding with the waves and ice swords that landed on the shore.

It's impossible to stop it.

Li Weiyi and Li Ling kept retreating, and it looked like they were about to be caught up by the ice sword.

Suddenly, a powerful dragon of magical energy surged from the ground, propelling the Green Yin Banner planted in the ground higher and larger. From within it emerged thousands of armored spirits, like an army of Yin soldiers crowding the Heavenly Pavilion.

"Slap! Slap!"

The icy waves surging from the lake were completely shattered.

Heavenly Pavilion, spies from Zuoqiu Courtyard, who were lurking nearby, immediately reported the appearance of the Green Yin Banner.

This is a treasure of Zuoqiu Courtyard; instructions have been given long ago that it be reported immediately upon its appearance.

Chen Wenwu, handsome and composed, walked to the window of the sixth-floor pavilion, his hands behind his back. "I wonder who this hero is, wanting to interfere in today's affairs? Could he possibly give me, Chen Wenwu of the Three Chen Palace, any face?"
