The Young Provincial Governor Li Weiyi

A moment later, another group of people arrived.

They were all dressed in black, exuding a murderous aura, their bodies radiating magical energy, their imposing presence overwhelming. The leader, Deformed Race Martial Cultivator, was as strong as a demon, standing four meters tall, wielding a two-zhang-long spear, his breath accompanied by gusts of wind and thunder.

It was Yuwen Chao of Night City.

Yuwen Chao's almost crippled right arm has grown back, and his sharp eyes are fixed on the water, searching for any suspicious targets.

Zhuang Yue's hearing had returned. As Pure Immortal Body at the Fourth Realm of the Five Seas, she could clearly hear the sudden commotion and uproar on the dock.

She asked anxiously, "Has the Imperial Court army arrived?"

"Pretty much! It's an army, but it's the Fire Crow Army of Night City," Li Weiyi said.

Zhuang Yue froze, her lips moved, but she couldn't say anything more.

When Li Weiyi bought the fishing boat, he deliberately did not change his attire, so after Huo Qiankun and Yuwen Chao inquired about it, someone quickly gave them directions.

These two top experts from the Five Seas Realm looked towards the fishing boat two miles away and happened to see Li Weiyi standing on the boat, waving goodbye to them.

Li Weiyi asked, "You've opened your fourth Qi Sea, so your internal energy should be quite abundant. Can you help me control the fishing boat?"

"That Lord Qi probably still intends to use my blood and magical energy to nourish my human skin for long-term use, so he didn't destroy my cultivation. Controlling the ship is naturally no problem for him."

Zhuang Yue asked, "But where are we going now?"

"Just go anywhere, head towards Soldier Ancestor Marsh," Li Weiyi said.

"Li Weiyi... why don't we leave? Let's leave Giant Marsh City and go to Fuzhou. Fuzhou is the Imperial Court's headquarters; it's absolutely safe there."

Zhuang Yue hesitated for a long time before finally saying this.

From Lord Qi's power to the changes that occurred in the Giant Marsh City government, Zhuang Yue felt a strong sense of powerlessness. She clearly realized that, with just her and Li Weiyi, they were as fragile as two blades of grass that could be snapped in two by a single stroke in the face of this overwhelming tide.

She's someone who's already died once, so she doesn't care about her own life. But Li Weiyi has a bright future ahead of her; she shouldn't die here.

Huo Qiankun and Yuwen Chao had never seen such an arrogant person before. Their hearts burned with rage. They stepped on the sea with their magical energy, like a majestic god and a blue-faced, tiger-headed demon, and rushed towards the fishing boat.

"We'll leave, of course we'll leave, but not with our tails between our legs. Don't worry about it, I have my own plans."

Li Weiyi gently patted Zhuang Yue's back. "They're here, let's set off quickly."

This was the first time Zhuang Yue had ever been so obedient to anyone other than Jiang Ning.

She placed her hands on the fishing boat, releasing a continuous stream of magical energy that enveloped the hull, demonstrating the profound cultivation of a Fourth Realm of the Five Seas.

In an instant, the fishing boat, more than twenty meters long, shot off like an arrow into the depths of Soldier Ancestor Marsh.

Li Weiyi pulled the sail rope and calmly raised the canvas.

Huo Qiankun was faster than Yuwen Chao, and when he caught up to within twenty feet of the fishing boat, he swung his silver spear across the water.

"Whoosh! Whoosh..."

Large waves surged up, condensing into dozens of white ice crystal spears that flew ahead of the fishing boats.

Li Weiyi leaped to the stern of the ship, shattering all the ice crystal spears with a single palm strike. He laughed loudly, "You two are truly skilled and daring! This isn't a river, but the vast and boundless Soldier Ancestor Marsh. You have no vehicle; are you planning to cross the sea by walking on water? No matter how powerful your magical energy is, how long can you last at sea? Even those experts at the Dao Seed Realm aren't as impressive as you!"

Huo Qiankun's heart skipped a beat; he had a bad feeling that he had fallen into a trap.

"No need for you to trouble yourself. We don't have a boat, but you do."

A vortex of energy emanated from beneath Yuwen Chao's feet, causing the water surface several feet around him to cave in. His body then shot out like a cannonball, appearing above the fishing boat, his spear thrusting straight at him.

He was at the Fifth Realm of the Five Seas, and his combat techniques were so refined that a casual thrust could be Heavenly Dao Mana Fusion.

On the high-level magical artifact-grade spear, the phantom of an ancient warrior appeared, unleashing an arm several meters long. The fist formed by the arm was positioned precisely at the tip of the spear.

This is a thrust of the spear, a heavy punch that will shatter the fishing boat into pieces.

"Getting on my ship won't be an easy thing."

Li Weiyi dared not underestimate Yuwen Chao. He waited in comfort, cultivating his fighting spirit and momentum. He raised the Yellow Dragon Sword above his head, and his whole demeanor became incredibly fierce.

"Whoosh!"

With a single sword strike, the sea was cleaved open, Sword Qi transformed into a yellow dragon, its Dragon Roar causing the water's surface to tremble.

Li Weiyi did not use palm techniques to release his Battle Intent. Instead, he prepared to hone the "Taiyi Opens the Sea" move and cultivate the second Battle Intent.

Based on his experience cultivating the first type of Battle Intent, he felt that the true essence of the Battle Intent cultivation of the Chan Sect Twelve Loose Hand Techniques could only be comprehended through actual combat.

"Boom!"

The powerful yellow Dragon Shadow Sword Qi and the ancient warrior phantom on the spear collapsed simultaneously, turning into a spreading energy wave.

The sword's edge clashed with the spear's tip.

Upon contact, both of them simultaneously stepped back, showing they were evenly matched.

Li Weiyi retreated six steps, his blood and qi churning within him, and the sword trembled incessantly.

If it weren't for Zhuang Yue's magical energy enveloping the fishing boat, the hull would have been crushed by him.

"In a direct confrontation with a martial artist at the Fifth Realm of the Five Seas, I was indeed going to lose. I had the advantage of being well-rested, taking full advantage of the timing and location, and also had Divine Weapons and Sharp Tools in hand, yet I could only manage a draw."

Although he thought this to himself, Li Weiyi laughed out loud, "Yuwen Chao, you haven't recovered from the serious injury Jiang Ning inflicted. How come you've become so weak?"

Yuwen Chao was sent flying backward, quickly landing on the sea. He had already recognized Li Wei when Li Weiyi unleashed the Yellow Dragon Sword. It was the young man who had been searching for the past few days and who possessed Seven Mysterious Insects.

The Night City's Fire Raven Cavalry were severely wounded by this man.

It was truly a case of "searching high and low without finding it, only to have it come to you of its own accord."

Yuwen Chao was overjoyed and vowed to capture Li Weiyi and send her to the young city lord to atone for his mistake. At the same time, he was also shocked by Li Weiyi's sudden surge in strength.

Keep in mind, only a few days have passed.

That day on the Sui River, this kid wasn't even qualified to fight him.

Could it be... that my combat strength has seriously declined because of the arm injury?

In that very short time, the fishing boat ahead had already traveled more than a mile.

Huo Qiankun caught up with the fishing boat, but Li Weiyi used the same move Taiyi Opens the Sea, to repel it.

Zhuang Yue, at the bow of the ship, heard Li Weiyi retreat again. Although she was blind, her senses were sharp, and she knew that the pursuers were two figures at the Fifth Realm of the Five Seas. Although Huo Qiankun was at the Fourth Realm of the Five Seas, he was a Nine Springs Perfected Person, and his combat strength was not much weaker Yuwen Chao's.

She simply couldn't believe that back in Immortal Burial Town, Li Weiyi was only a martial artist at the Spring Realm, so how could he have fought on equal terms with such a figure in less than two months?

No wonder the young lady valued such talent more and more each time.

"I will lend you a hand. Although I cannot see, my cultivation is still intact," Zhuang Yue said.

Li Weiyi glanced at the increasingly distant dock and transmitted his voice through his magic energy. "Don't rush, it's not time for you to make your move yet. First, lure these two into the deep sea. Drive the fishing boat with all your might, and don't let the ships piloted by the Tianyi Gate and the Night City martial artists catch up from behind."

Having finished his healing, Li Weiyi strode towards the stern of the ship, sword in hand, shouting, "Huo Qiankun, most of your Tianyi Gate's businesses are in the Seven Prefectures of the Southern Territory, allied with Night City, Coffin Mountain, and Ember Spirit. Aren't you afraid that Zuoqiu Courtyard could wipe them all out with a single order? I advise you to turn back before it's too late, and don't bring trouble upon yourself."

Tianyi Gate was the weakest of the three major sects, far inferior to the Sui Sect and Three Chen Palace, and was completely swept along by the tide.

The situation is the same now; they have absolutely no way out. If they don't move forward, they will only die faster. They have no choice at all. In the beginning, they only wanted to take advantage of the situation and eat a piece of the Jiu Li Tribe's flesh.

These words undoubtedly struck a nerve with Huo Qiankun, causing his imposing aura to instantly diminish by three-tenths.

"Boom!"

The three fought one after another, gradually entering the deep sea.

The dock on the shore is no longer visible.

Yuwen Chao and Huo Qiankun knew exactly what Li Weiyi intended to do: to block them outside the fishing boat and continuously deplete their magical energy. But this was clearly wishful thinking.

The two attacked from the left and right, Li Weiyi was instantly injured when he was struck in the chest by a spear.

Even with multiple layers of defense, his face turned deathly pale; he had suffered internal injuries.

"Whoosh!"

Seven Phoenix Wing Moth Emperors flew out of the Insect Tube, transforming into seven streams of light that collided with the clouds of magical energy emanating from Yuwen Chao and Huo Qiankun, who were about to board the ship.

"What is it?"

Huo Qiankun waved his hand, creating a handprint about ten feet in size, which swatted away a Phoenix Wing Moth Emperor as easily as swatting a mosquito.

The Seven Phoenix Wing Moth Emperors had just finished consuming the Thousand-Year Elixir of ice attribute brought by Zuoqiu Ting, and their bodies were still only three inches long. They were at the Second Realm of the Five Seas Realm, but their combat power was comparable to that of the third level of the Five Seas Realm.

However, they possess exceptional defensive capabilities and speed.

Even after taking a blow from someone of Huo Qiankun's caliber and falling into the sea, it quickly flapped its wings and took flight again, attacking once more as if nothing had happened.

"Do it!"

Li Weiyi threw the Ghost Flag to Zhuang Yue.

Since she is blind, using this treasure is perfect for her.

Zhuang Yue channeled her purest magical energy into the Ghost Flag. Instantly, a dense, Nether Mist billowed out, completely enveloping the fishing boat and covering a large area of the surrounding sea.

With the Nether Mist obscuring the view, Li Weiyi immediately activated the Dao Ancestor Taiji Fish, and Taiji marks and spatial fluctuations appeared beside him.

The next instant, they pulled Li Ling out of the Blood Mud Space.

"We must keep those two here. Discard all the talismans they drew," Li Weiyi said.

"So it was you who stole that Black Metal Box! How dare you oppose us?"

Huo Qiankun was enveloped in the Nether Mist, which severely affected his five senses, but he was able to recognize the aura of the Ghost Flag.

"It takes a lot of courage to go against you? Besides, it seems like you're the ones who've always been against me, and I haven't even bothered to settle scores with you yet!"

Li Weiyi dressed neatly in his Provincial Governor's Official Robe, with a wide belt adorned with jewels and jade pendants, and straightened his official hat. He looked every bit the handsome and spirited young governor, dashing and full of vigor.

"Whoosh--"

Driven by the magical energy, wisps of purple mist emanated from the official's robes, forming a purple mist cloud that enveloped his entire body.

"Boom!"

Li Weiyi's figure disappeared into the purple mist.

The next moment, the purple mist cloud appeared above Huo Qiankun's head, traversing a space of more than ten zhang.

The Yellow Dragon Sword pierced through the air, its sharp edge shattering all protective magical energy.

Huo Qiankun had never seen anything like this before. A mere Five Seas Realm youth was actually leaping through space to kill him!

This transcended the concept of speed. He was instantly terrified and released his Battle Intent, desperately swinging his silver spear, trying to use his superior cultivation level to avert his death.

"Bang!"

After the clash, the purple mist cloud overhead disappeared.

At the same time, a cloud of purple mist appeared in front of Huo Qiankun, and he unleashed another fierce sword strike.

"Boom!"

"Boom!"

Purple mist appeared around Huo Qiankun six times in a row.

With the fourth sword strike, he severed his right arm.

The fifth sword pierced his lung.

The sixth sword strike pierced through the forehead and the skull.

The entire process took less than two breaths. Huo Qiankun was able to block the first three sword strikes because of his rich combat experience and the powerful protective force of his Battle Intent.

Li Weiyi's figure appeared in the space, his feet on the sea surface, the purple mist disappearing into his official robes. Holding a sword in one hand and Huo Qiankun's silver spear in the other, a smile appeared on his face. His plan had finally become feasible!

A terrifying aura and icy energy emanated from the fishing boat behind them, causing the sea around the boat to freeze.

It exuded an eerie aura, like Ghost King being born.

Li Weiyi suddenly turned around and looked.

From the dark, gloomy Nether Mist on the fishing boat, a ghostly figure, four zhang tall and clad in metal armor, emerged, wielding a halberd and treading on the churning seawater, its Sha Qi from it as it walked toward Yuwen Chao.

"Four zhang... one zhang higher than when I activated it. Is it because her cultivation is higher than mine?"
