Silver Spear Shines Upon the White Tiger
Li Weiyi steered his small boat dozens of miles away. In the distance, a high-pitched tiger's roar echoed from the sea, followed by the sounds of battle clashes.
The energy of the Dharma stirred up strong winds and surging waters.
He concealed his aura and proceeded cautiously, soon spotting three figures engaged in a fierce battle at sea.
Jiang Ning, clad in soft armor and wielding a sword, stood atop a rocky islet, with an endless starry sea above him and his Battle Intent transforming into a pair of enormous white wings on his back.
Feathers formed from condensed magical energy enveloped the sea like falling snow.
She was aloof and proud, with a fierce fighting spirit, but she no longer possessed the unparalleled charm of her peak. Her eyes were no longer bright, her fingers were bleeding, and the sword in her hand seemed about to fall at any moment.
"Jiang Ning, why are you so weak? Battle Intent is incomplete. Has the Night Emperor Toad Poison penetrated deep into your heart?"
Miedi was Tiger-like Deformed Humanoid Race, with a huge tiger head, a black "king" character on his forehead, and his body wrapped in a golden tiger shadow.
The golden tiger shadow was his Battle Intent, over ten meters long, indistinguishable from a small, moving mountain. It was exceptionally handsome, and its enormous tiger eyes shone like two bright moons in the night.
"Boom! Boom..."
It followed in the footsteps of the Extinction One, walking on the sea, each step it took creating towering waves.
On the other side, in the space surrounding Dao Truth, there stood nine enormous, sacred Buddha figures in different postures, a breathtaking sight created by the "Nine Thoughts Zen Beads," a Hundred Character Scripture Magic Tool.
These two top-tier experts from Coffin Mountain arrived at the island from two different directions and launched an attack, engaging Jiang Ning in a second round of combat.
"Boom!"
The three moved with lightning speed, their figures flashing, each move expansive and powerful.
Thunder and lightning filled the air, and the reefs kept exploding.
"You think you can escape? You only have a few paths to survival, but we've blocked them all. You can't go to Giant Marsh City, and you can't go back to Fuzhou."
Dao Truth's voice was gentle, like a Buddhist chant, but his attacks were fierce and ruthless. His Pure Immortal Body's white jade-colored skin turned golden. His palm print, resembling a golden cloud in the shape of five fingers, tore apart the wings formed by Jiang Ning's Battle Intent on his back.
Although they weren't real wings and there wasn't a bloody, gruesome scene, Jiang Ning was still injured, as if an arm had been severed.
Taking advantage of the opportunity, Mie Di struck out with his claw from a distance, and the golden tiger phantom followed suit. The tiger claw shone with boundless Buddhist light, tearing apart her other wing, and her body was thrown into the sea dozens of feet away, blood flowing from the corner of her mouth.
She remained silent, her eyes cold and sharp. She no longer devoted her strength to suppressing the Night Emperor Toad Poison within her body. Her sword, cold as frost, transformed into a streak of light as she attacked. Even if she died here, she would drag the Coffin Mountain Two Truths down with her.
Several miles away, Li Weiyi activated his Nightwalker's Robe to become invisible and observed the reef. "That tiger shadow dharma form must be five zhang long. Mie Di should already be cultivating the Seventh Sea Field. What is Night Emperor Toad Poison?"
Li Weiyi had witnessed Jiang Ning's peak strength in the Immortal Realm space of Immortal Burial Town. At that time, even when fighting against Long Ting, the inheritor of the Dragon Gate, she still had the strength to suppress Mie Di and Dao Truth, and severely injure Shi Shishi.
But today, the combined attack of Mie Di and Dao Truth has completely overwhelmed her, causing her combat power to decline significantly.
Li Weiyi asked the Master Urn.
Zen Sea Observing Mist had said that Master Urn knew the Night Clan extremely well, and this "Night Emperor Toad Poison" was obviously related to the Night Emperor and the Night Clan.
Moreover, when Li Weiyi was cultivating the Quenching Qi Art, Master Urn was also preparing to pass on the <Night Emperor Canon> to him.
"The Night Emperor Toad was a venomous beast raised by the Night Emperor, and it has been dead for tens of thousands of years. The Night Emperor's descendants used the venom remaining from its corpse to soak a batch of magical artifacts."
"These poisoned weapons once shone brightly in ancient times, striking fear into the hearts of martial artists throughout the land. But so many years have passed, even if some of these weapons remain, their toxicity has become extremely weak. Otherwise, that girl would have long since turned into a pool of black blood, instead of being as lively and energetic as she is now, still able to fight against others."
"If you want to save people, I, Master Urn, do know the solution. Will you save them or not? Will you learn it or not?"
Li Weiyi stared intently at the reef, his brow furrowed, hesitant in his heart. In the end, he shook his head slightly and steered the small boat away quickly.
The cultivation levels of the Extinction Truth and the Dao Truth are far too high for him to contend with in his current state.
Asking Zen Sea Observing Mist to enter Li Ling's body to make a move is too risky. This is because the battlefield between Zuoqiu Courtyard and Young Venerable is not far away, and it is very likely that the battle here has already alerted them, and a large number of troops may arrive at any time.
"Whoosh!"
Seven Phoenix Wing Moth Emperors broke through the Insect Tube and flew towards the island reef.
Li Weiyi stopped the small boat, speechless. He used his mental power to suppress them. "Come back here! You think you're invincible? The Coffin Mountain Two Truths could easily suppress you. Do you really think you're indestructible?"
The Seven Phoenix Wing Moth Emperors clashed with Li Weiyi's telekinetic power, chattering amongst themselves and urging him to quickly ask Zen Sea Observing Mist to rescue Jiang Ning.
"I don't want to stand by and watch someone die. Soldier Ancestor Marsh did have the idea of helping, but the enemy is too strong, and it's beyond our capabilities. As for Zen Sea Observing Mist, she's too rational; she wouldn't be willing to take that risk. I don't want to force her."
Li Weiyi shook his head and sighed, using Insect Script to forcibly retrieve the Seven Phoenix Wing Moth Emperors and suppress them into the Evil Camel Bell. Just then, he discovered the Zouwu trapped inside the Evil Camel Bell.
Li Weiyi looked at the silver spear in his hand, and a flash of inspiration struck him.
He immediately pulled out the Phoenix Wing Moth Emperor, which could release the aura of a powerful being and was skilled at bluffing. "You seven are really putting me in a difficult position, but I can't ignore your feelings, after all, we are partners who share life and death. Saving people is fine, but from now on you must work obediently. If I point east, you can't go west."
After Jiang Ning stopped suppressing the Night Emperor Toad Poison, his combat power increased significantly, causing Dao Truth and Mie Di to suffer repeated defeats and only be able to parry.
"Jiang Ning, you're already at your limit, why keep pushing yourself like this?"
"You dare to try and kill us on your deathbed? You greatly underestimate the strength of this humble monk and Mie Di."
Dao Truth manipulated the nine Buddhist beads as if he were commanding nine deities, blocking Jiang Ning's path.
He could sense that Jiang Ning's fighting strength was gradually weakening, and her breathing was becoming unstable. At most, he could hold her off for another ten or so moves. At that point, she would completely lose her ability to move due to the poison attacking her heart.
"The Li people wear Hu tassels, and the stars and moon shine brightly over Qiuzhou."
"The silver spear shines on the white tiger, swift as a shooting star."
A high-pitched and melodious voice came from the sea.
The Zouwu beast was enormous, with magical energy emanating from all four hooves. It trod on the waves of the sea as it walked towards the island battlefield. It raised its head and roared, revealing its sharp teeth, emitting a deafening tiger's howl just like that of the Extinction Demon.
Li Weiyi rode on the back of Zouwu, holding a silver spear. He used Disguise Art to transform into the appearance of Cangli, swallowed a petal of Core Lamp Flower, and his body became radiant, his skin indistinguishable from that of Pure Immortal Body.
His Disguise Art was only at a minor level; he couldn't directly transform into Pure Immortal Body and needed the aid of medicine.
However, Huo Qiankun had always regarded Cangli as his goal, and forged his silver spear to be almost identical to Cangli's. The title of "Little Cangli" was by no means undeserved and came in handy.
With Cangli's mount Zouwu, beneath him, he could easily pass for the real thing.
After all, even a top-tier young master like Zuoqiu Ting, who had practiced the Disguise Art for years, could only manage to create a shape-shifting illusion. Who could have imagined that someone could cultivate the Disguise Art to the point of transforming one's very bones and soul?
"Use human heads as wine cups, drink the blood of barbarians to the last drop."
"Kill one man in ten steps, leave no trace for a thousand miles."
Soon, the Zouwu carrying Li Weiyi arrived at a mile from the reef. Beneath its robes, the Phoenix Wing Moth Emperor released an aura comparable to that of the Dao Seed Realm expert.
In the night breeze, his long hair flew in the wind, his figure was as imposing as a mountain, and his whole being exuded a powerful aura.
The three people who had been fighting on the island have stopped and separated.
Li Weiyi mimicked Cangli's arrogant demeanor, standing tall with a cold, disdainful gaze. "She can't kill you, but I could?"
Both Mie Di and Dao Truth looked wary and slowly retreated at sea, trying to keep their distance from "Cangli".
Seeing that they didn't refute or dare to utter a single harsh word, Li Weiyi understood that Cangli truly had the ability to kill them.
Li Weiyi's face remained stern, staring at the two of them as if they were ants. "You two thieves are just thieves. What talk of 'annihilation' and 'Dao Truth'? It's an insult to Buddhism."
Extinction Di, unable to bear it any longer, cried out, "Cangli! You're too arrogant! She's the one the Young Venerable desires..."
"Phoenix-born Unicorn-young, right?"
Li Weiyi coldly shouted, "Let him wash his neck clean, and I Cangli, will kill him as easily as slaughtering pigs and dogs."
Mie Di sneered, seeing that Zouwu landed on the reef and was getting closer and closer to Jiang Ning. He wanted to step forward to stop him, but was held back by Dao Truth.
Zouwu walked to Jiang Ning's side.
Li Weiyi looked down at the two men with arrogance, paying particular attention to Mie Di: "You seem very unconvinced. Come, if I cannot take your life within ten moves, I, Cangli, will sever both of my arms. Come and sit on me yourself!"
The following sentence was addressed to Jiang Ning.
Mie Di's tiger eyes were fierce, and his teeth were almost grinding to powder. If it weren't for the huge difference in strength, he would really want to step forward and give it a try.
As Jiang Ning sat on the back of the Zouwu, Dao Truth spoke gently, his hands clasped together. "Cangli, you represent the Jiu Li Tribe. Aren't you afraid of being attacked by righteous Rebel Army from all over the world by associating with the people of the Imperial Court?"
"Do I need you to teach me how to do things? Are you two going to fight or not? If you're going to fight, then make your move. I'd like to see if I can kill you both within ten moves," Li Weiyi said.
Mie Di took a deep breath and looked at Dao Truth: "I don't believe that the two of us combined can't withstand ten of his moves. He'll have to protect Jiang Ning, so he'll inevitably be distracted and his fighting strength will be greatly reduced."
"Don't fall for his trick. He's trying to provoke us. We're about a mile away from him now. No matter how strong he is, he can't kill us. But we should charge at him..." Dao Truth was very rational and shook his head slightly. The number one genius of the Jiu Li Tribe in a thousand years still carries a lot of weight.
Mie Di said, "I understand! All we need to do is stall him until Lord Qi and Lord Ming arrive. I want to see if he can still be as arrogant as he is now."
"You two cowardly rats, from now on, when you see me Cangli, you'll bow your heads and behave like human beings."
Li Weiyi snorted and steered his Zouwu towards Giant Marsh City, traveling at top speed on the water.
With his back to the Coffin Mountain Two Truths, Li Weiyi's smile vanished, his heart pounded, and he took a deep breath. Just now, he felt like he was dancing on a knife's edge. Fortunately, Dao Truth was cautious; otherwise, if Mie Di had charged in, he would have been exposed instantly.
Behind her, Jiang Ning whispered, "You're not Cangli!"
Up close, she could sense that the aura comparable to that of Dao Seed Realm Martial Cultivator was not emanating from Li Weiyi.
The Phoenix Wing Moth Emperor peeked out from under Li Weiyi's robe and winked at her.
Jiang Ning's eyes lit up with realization, her tense nerves finally relaxing. A bitter smile appeared on her solemn, pale face. Then, her gaze fell on Li Weiyi's broad back, and she whispered, "Thank you... but it's too risky. I'm already a dying man..."
