Personally Taking Action
The golden tiger's shadow, five zhang long, was a colossal creature, its body blocking half the street.
"Whoosh--"
The body of the Extinction God was several times the size of Li Weiyi's. The magical energy emanating from his body stirred up the snow on the street, and the energy fluctuations spread more than a hundred meters away.
Many martial artists retreated, feeling that Li Weiyi's cultivation was too weak and that only by triggering the box of Thunder Law Profound Ice could he have a chance to perish together with Mie Di.
That's too dangerous!
However, many martial artists, like Mie Di, felt that Li Weiyi was all bark and no bite, and that he dared not trigger the Thunder Law Profound Ice, but was merely bluffing.
Li Weiyi's eyes were fixed on the massive tiger claw-like light and shadow attacking him. His mind was calm and natural as he moved his right leg back. All the magical energy in his body surged to his right arm, the Trace Meridians shimmering in his flesh and blood, and the blood flowing in his veins like Dragon Roar.
"Overturning Sky Palm Seal!"
A golden divine seal appeared as a palm strike was unleashed, clashing with the golden tiger's giant claw.
The seal is decorated with dragons and Ancient Script inscriptions, making it extremely mystical.
"Boom!"
The golden light exploded, transforming into dazzling energy ripples that spread in all directions.
Mie Di was shocked. He never expected that a martial artist at the Fourth Realm of the Five Seas could unleash such a wondrous palm technique. Its power was formidable, no less than his own.
He immediately changed tactics, crouching down and striking Li Weiyi in the abdomen with his claws.
Li Weiyi pulled out his right foot, which had been dented by the claw attack, and, carrying rubble and magical energy, thrust forward as if treading on mountains and rivers.
"Buzz!"
With each step, magical energy intertwined to form a jade-like ancient cauldron that shimmered with light and shadow.
The cauldron was enormous and ancient, enveloping Li Weiyi's entire body.
The claw mark of the Extinction God struck it as if it were hitting a real cauldron, causing pain in his five fingers, yet he could not reach Li Weiyi's body.
"Break!"
Martial cultivators who can cultivate to the Seventh Sea have at least Fifth Tier Qi within their bodies.
The Extinction Demon possessed formidable combat power; its claws tore through the jade cauldron, and just as it was about to unleash a second claw to pierce Li Weiyi's abdomen...
An extremely dangerous feeling washed over me!
Behind Li Weiyi, a female deity's Battle Intent rose, her long hair flowing, reaching a height of three zhang, illuminating all directions. The renowned Qiuzhou art, "Compassionate Sail Opening Finger Technique," was unleashed.
The beam of light that shot from the fingertips was bright, dazzling, and powerful.
It's easy to imagine that once hit, even the strongest body would be pierced through.
Miedi's heart trembled, and he immediately changed from offense to defense. He released a tiger-skin kasaya magic artifact from his ancestral field, which spun rapidly in front of him. Various pendants on the kasaya collided and jingled, transforming into an array.
"Boom!"
Mie Di was forced back several dozen feet before the Compassionate Sail Opening Finger Technique was completely neutralized.
On the other side, Li Weiyi still stood straight in place, his heroic posture unchanged. From beginning to end, his eyes and expression remained the same, and the tip of the Xuanbing Arrow in his left hand was still firmly pressed on the two invitation cards.
Time seemed to stand still; the entire room was silent.
The snowflakes that had been stirred up earlier slowly fell, leaving countless people stunned in place.
Not only the martial arts practitioners outside Qin Garden, but also the old guys on Peach Plum Mountain, were the same.
This is far more shocking than Phoenix-born Unicorn-young defeating the Dragon Hall and Lu Cangsheng in a joint effort.
After a long while, the sound of breathing could be heard from the third heaven.
An Old Man asked in a shrill voice, "Isn't he at the Fourth Realm of the Five Seas?"
Knowing Li Weiyi's strength, Hidden Lord helped cover it up. "Didn't you notice he broke through?"
"That's right, the Battle Intent three zhang high, this is the Fifth Realm of the Five Seas!" Zuoqiu Ling said.
The Old Man said, "This is still abnormal... That Mie Di is from the Seventh Sea. The combat power of the Deformed Race is inherently more advantageous than that of ordinary people at the same realm. Moreover, with the support of the Golden Tiger's will, how can someone who has crossed two realms stand on equal footing with him? Does the realm still have any meaning?"
Another Old Man said, "That's indeed outrageous. Even if he broke through, it would only be the initial breakthrough to the Fifth Realm of the Five Seas."
The Hidden Lord continued to conceal the truth, "His physical cultivation is quite good; he relies on his physical strength. Moreover, his martial arts comprehension is extremely high, and the techniques he practices are all ancient methods of the Jiu Li Tribe."
Zuoqiu Ling sighed, "Such a prodigy, with such intelligence, you shouldn't have let him participate in the Qianlong Lantern Festival."
The Hidden Lord sighed, feeling utterly helpless, as he had tried to persuade him many times.
The Daoist woman in the robes from the Du'e Temple who appeared last night stood atop a tower a mile away and wrote, "In a state free of insects, one can flatten Coffin Mountain and annihilate the divine."
After the initial shock and disbelief, countless top martial artists present developed a murderous intent, all feeling that this young man should not be allowed to live.
Miedi felt utterly humiliated and roared as he wrapped the tiger-skin robe around his body, unleashing a surge of magical energy within him as he launched another attack.
Someone was one step ahead of him.
It is the Kudi of Suffering, the first of the Coffin Mountain Four Truths.
Kudi, the eighth-ranked warrior in the Southern Territory A-rank and Inheritor-level figure, realized that it would not be easy for Mie Di to defeat Li Weiyi. Letting him continue fighting would not only waste the opportunity but also invite ridicule from all martial artists in the world.
The current situation demands a swift resolution.
If such a large group of them were to be blocked by a martial artist at the Fifth Realm of the Five Seas, it would be utterly ridiculous.
"Kudi, it's beneath your dignity to attack a Fifth Realm of the Five Seas!"
Cangli's voice was deep and resonant, his breath steady, emanating from the garden.
"Whoosh!"
A pitch-black, ink-like Nether Mist poured out from the door, instantly covering the entire block.
The air was even colder, and a thick layer of white frost formed on the ground.
In the Nether Mist.
Behind Li Weiyi appeared a ten-zhang-tall, armored ram-headed ghost general, taller than all the buildings in the entire block.
Flames burned within its abdomen, exuding a domineering aura. With a long roar, it swung its dozens-of-meters-long halberd, creating ripples of energy in the air.
Terrified, Mie Di cried out, "It's it... it's appeared again..."
The Kudi collides with the Truth of Annihilation, and alone it withstands the battle.
The staff in his hand spun rapidly, and the sound of chanting resounded throughout heaven and earth.
"Bang!"
The spear struck the staff, blasting Kudi away, sending him crashing into the crowd and landing in a shop building.
The demon general roared, Duling Cold Fire from his mouth.
The martial artists from more than a dozen large and small factions retreated once again.
A powerful cultivator at the Inheritor-level was sent flying with a single blow. If Zhan Ge were to sweep through the crowd of martial artists, how many heads would he reap?
Who would have thought that Cangli had such a trump card?
Many people secretly rejoiced that they hadn't forced their way into Qin Garden earlier.
Ming Niansheng whispered in Phoenix-born Unicorn-young's ear, "This should be the ghost general Qi Jin mentioned, released from a black flag. It seems that it really was Cangli who rescued Jiang Ning at Soldier Ancestor Marsh. Young Venerable, something's not right!"
Phoenix-born Unicorn-young understood his meaning.
If Cangli saved Jiang Ning, their relationship must be extraordinary. If the entire Jiu Li Tribe is wiped out today, Jiang Ning might very well push for cooperation between the Imperial Court and the Zuoqiu Courtyard. Perhaps, that kid surnamed Li really did predict it correctly.
He was not afraid of an Imperial Court that was targeted by all the Rebel Army.
But then there's the Zuoqiu Courtyard, and the Zhu family, their arch-rivals in the Far West Ash Region...
That would be dangerous!
The demon general appeared and subdued all the enemies.
But Li Weiyi didn't believe that this alone could intimidate Phoenix-born Unicorn-young. To display such a grand display and then retreat without a fight would invite ridicule from countless people; what difference would that be from a complete rout?
Phoenix-born Unicorn-young was also caught up in his own power, and although he wanted to retreat, he could not.
Taking advantage of this lull, Li Weiyi shouted loudly, "The Jiu Li Tribe suffered heavy losses last night and knows they cannot protect these two invitations. However, they are unwilling to hand them over to their enemies. We beg the heroes hiding in the shadows to come to our rescue. If they can protect us for ten days, we will offer them the Elixir of Longevity Pill, the Dragon Seed, and the Dragon Bone."
Many people present wore mocking smiles.
Someone whispered, "Who dares to save someone in front of the Young Venerable?"
Yuwen Tuozhen laughed loudly, "You were so tough and fearless just now, I thought you had a strong will, but I didn't expect you to be a coward too."
"Who isn't afraid of death? I'm here to fight for my life, not to compete with anyone in terms of fearlessness."
Li Weiyi continued, "I laugh at the Phoenix-born Unicorn-young, and the reckless Ge Xiantong. I hate that the two insects of the Eastern Border were defeated at the Bright Moon Seven Stars Pavilion, their spines broken, unable to seize the opportunity. All the heroes of the world are now in the North."
Currently, only the Xue Jian Tang Ting in the North can rival the Imperial Court and the Ash Region of the Far West, having conquered five states. Almost all the talents of the North are under its command.
It should be noted that the Jiu Li Tribe's apparent strength is insufficient to even hold onto a single province.
Even if Xue Jian Tang Ting only mobilizes five or six young martial artists from each state, plus the resources of the Myriad Gate Families itself, dozens of top experts will press in, and Phoenix-born Unicorn-young will have no choice but to retreat.
Li Weiyi didn't believe that Tang Wanqiu, the leader of the younger generation of Xue Jian Tang Ting, would be unaware of the importance of last night's battle; he must be waiting for some opportunity.
Ming Niansheng's eyes were cold. "This boy is truly exceptionally intelligent, but unfortunately, Xue Jian Tang Ting will never make a move at this time. The Imperial Court and we haven't been fundamentally harmed yet, so Tang Wanqiu will definitely continue to sit on the sidelines and watch the tigers fight, waiting for a better opportunity."
"Since they're so clever, let's kill them first!"
With one hand behind his back and the other playing with a silver spear, Phoenix-born Unicorn-young walked towards Li Weiyi, who was standing in the center of the street. The Battle Intent of the Azure Phoenix and the Qilin manifested, and the power of their intents pressed down on Li Weiyi overwhelmingly.
Snowflakes accompanied me, and the cold wind howled.
Countless martial arts practitioners showed expressions of surprise.
Phoenix-born Unicorn-young, without hiding the admiration and appreciation in his eyes, said, "You've mastered the art of scheming, surviving in the cracks, and making a living in dire circumstances. You'd probably have succeeded against any other opponent. But you were unlucky; your opponent was me."
"In the end, cultivation and strength determine the fate of this world. Your bargaining chips are too few. Xue Jian Tang Ting doesn't even look at you, and neither do I."
"However, you should be proud! Because you are so outstanding that I couldn't help but feel murderous intent and wanted to eliminate you myself to prevent future troubles."
Even though Phoenix-born Unicorn-young was still ten zhang away, Li Weiyi already felt unsteady on his feet, like a candle flickering in the wind, as if the other party could blow him out with a single breath.
The oppressive force of the Battle Intent the Azure Phoenix and the Qilin was like two mountains pressing down on his shoulders, making it difficult for him to breathe.
If I try to stand up, I can't breathe.
To breathe, you have to lie down.
"Roar!"
The ten-zhang-tall ghost general unleashed power at the level of Dao Seed Realm Martial Cultivator, slashing down with his battle halberd, tearing through the suppression of Battle Intent.
"Boom--"
The ground beneath Phoenix-born Unicorn-young's feet continued to crumble, with mud and rocks rising and spreading in all directions.
What truly sent chills down one's spine was that he merely raised his silver spear to block the halberd, his body barely swaying.
Li Weiyi's Phoenix-born Unicorn-young seemed completely unconcerned about the subsequent development of the situation; his combat power was terrifyingly strong, capable of completely overcoming all enemies in the city.
Perhaps Zuoqiu Ting was right; the mindset of the strong is indeed different.
To get them to compromise, you'd have to have them completely under your control.
"Such a mere brat, if you were to die at the hands of the Young Venerable, wouldn't you become infamous throughout the world? I'll kill him!"
Ming Niansheng, with his two-meter-tall humanoid body like a bronze statue, shot out like an arrow, just as he clenched his fist...
The sound of flying swords rang in my ears.
Behind Li Weiyi, countless golden flying swords surged like a tide on the wide street, tearing through the Nether Mist and transforming into a river of swords that crashed into Ming Niansheng.
The stone slabs of the street, which stretches for hundreds of meters, are covered with cracked, sword-like patterns.
At this moment, Ming Niansheng was still three zhang away from Li Weiyi, so he had no choice but to immediately release his protective magic energy to resist the golden sword river.
"Da da!"
"Da da!"
The Zouwu beast galloped forward, its head raised and howling, charging straight at the isolated and helpless Li Weiyi.
Dressed in red and barefoot, Li Ling stood gracefully on the back of the Zouwu. One hand formed a rune seal, while the other held the reins. The spiritual light and flames erupting from between her brows made her entire body burn, clearly indicating that she had reached the Calamity Fire Realm.
