An All-Out Battle

The Battle Intent of martial cultivators at the Five Seas Realm will transform into the more profound "Dao Heart Intent" and "Dao Heart Manifestation" upon reaching the Dao Seed Realm.

Once one reaches the Second Heaven the Dao Seed Realm, "Pulsation," their Dao Heart Intent will become significantly stronger, making it an important way for martial arts practitioners to cultivate their own soul.

With just the power of will, one can suppress the fear and trembling of martial artists at the Five Seas Realm, causing a severe psychological impact and achieving victory without a fight.

At this moment, Qin Qian is in this situation.

Li Weiyi also sensed that invisible power of will, and released six five-zhang-tall Battle Intent divine shadows to block Long Ting's Intent Attack outside the jade boat.

Having cultivated to the Fifth Tier Qi, he can maintain the six Battle Intent' mental images for a relatively long time, unleashing 150% of his battle power.

Of course, this state consumes a great deal of magical energy.

"Bang!"

Li Weiyi's gaze met Long Ting's from afar. Suddenly, he raised his arm and pressed a palm against the back of Qin Qian's head. His powerful magical energy surged into her, releasing the seal on her Feng Mansion before her inner world collapsed. "You activate the jade boat, I'll take care of Long Ting."

Qin Qian has recovered from the suppression of Long Ting's Dao Heart Intent.

Despite her injuries, she leaped out of the coffin and obediently walked quickly to the bow of the ship, placing her palm on the hull as her magical energy surged forth from within her body.

Qin Qian turned around and reminded her, "Be careful, the Long Ting is not what it used to be. Their Dragon Gate bloodline and cultivation methods are extremely compatible with the dragon race, their cultivation is terrifying."

"It boosts the enemy's morale while diminishing our own. If it really comes down to a fight, the outcome is uncertain."

Li Weiyi circulated his inner energy and Breathing and Exhaling to bring himself into his optimal state.

"Whoosh!"

The jade boat's light intensified, and its speed increased dramatically once again.

The crystal-clear surface of the ship was covered with densely packed scriptures.

"This is..."

Qin Qian was quite surprised, sensing that this jade boat was of a high grade.

If it weren't for the meandering underground river channel that required constant changes of direction, its speed would be astonishing.

Long Ting chased the jade boat to within sixty feet, and seeing that the jade boat was moving faster, his eyes narrowed slightly. He then summoned his trump card magic weapon, "Crimson Fire Dragon Scale," from his ancestral field.

This dragon scale was left behind by the Ancient Son of Heaven Feilong in his youth. It was refined into a seventh-grade Hundred Character Scripture Magic Tool by the sages of the Dragon Gate. It was the strongest weapon bestowed upon the Long Ting when he reached the Dao Seed Realm, and it was also the source of his confidence in defeating those of higher realms.

Dragon Gate also possesses Thousand Character Artifact forged from the Emperor's dragon scales, whose power is even more terrifying.

Driven by the power of the Crimson Fire Dragon Scale, instantly turning the cold underground Blood River space as hot as summer.

The dragon scales, nearly ten feet in diameter, flew out and unleashed a power that caused the water in the entire river to boil.

Li Weiyi stood at the stern of the ship, sword in hand, activating the protective power of the Blood Handprint Demonic Armor, his skin covered in dense demonic runes.

"Whoosh!"

"Whoosh!"

The twelve divine images of Battle Intent manifested, filling the space around the ship like the descent of gods.

In the past three months, he has mastered Chan Sect Twelve Loose Hand Techniques and developed Battle Intent.

Li Weiyi's mental state reached its peak; his mind was calm as he assessed the speed and trajectory of the Crimson Fire Dragon Scale, searching for the optimal moment to strike.

He raised his sword with both hands and slashed horizontally through the air.

A Sword Qi aura arc several tens of feet long flew out.

Just then, the Crimson Fire Dragon Scale broke through the jade boat's defenses and appeared directly in front of Li Weiyi. The crimson flames seemed poised to incinerate him completely.

Qin Qian stared intently at the scene, her heart pounding in her chest.

How can you fight between a Five Seas Realm and a Dao Seed Realm expert?

"Boom!"

The Yellow Dragon Sword and the Crimson Fire Dragon Scale clashed together, producing a metallic scraping sound that could pierce eardrums. The power of the high-grade magic weapon caused the stern of the jade boat to suddenly sink.

Sword and unicorn, sparks fly.

The magical artifact's energy stagnated for a moment before Li Weiyi was forced back, crashing through the coffin from the stern to the bow. His hands were split open, blood trickling from his fingers, and his outer robe ripped apart, revealing the Blood Handprint Demonic Armor worn over the Provincial Governor's Official Robe.

It's clearly an official robe, but it's unclear what kind of official robe it is.

Official robes and protective amulets are not rare items.

Li Weiyi blocked the attack of the Crimson Fire Dragon Scale, causing it to change direction and fly diagonally out, crashing into the stone wall on the right and causing a large section of the stone wall to collapse.

Qin Qian stared at Li Weiyi beside her as if she were a monster.

How could he possibly withstand the Long Ting's most powerful attack?

If he hadn't been crippled, his future martial arts achievements would have been unimaginable.

Long Ting frowned, clearly not expecting this outcome. He had thought that having used the Crimson Fire Dragon Scale, he could surely destroy their ship and kill everyone in one blow.

With his current cultivation level, he was not yet able to control such a powerful weapon at will, so the attack was temporarily interrupted. While continuing the pursuit, he released his magical energy to retract the dragon scales from the cliff face.

"Li Weiyi, wasn't your ancestral field destroyed? How come your combat strength has increased so much? Judging from your current appearance, you don't seem like someone from the Feng family who cultivates Dao."

The Long Ting's voice came from the misty waves of the river.

As the internal energy flowed through Li Weiyi's body, his numb and painful arms quickly recovered.

He pondered to himself, how likely was it that exposing the Provincial Governor's Official Robe would allow him to kill Long Ting? He quickly abandoned the idea.

The gap in cultivation levels is too great, and the risks are difficult to control.

The Long Ting is indeed a formidable enemy now.

Li Weiyi feigned nonchalance and chuckled, "It's not that I've become stronger, it's that you're not as strong as you imagine yourself to be. You can only bully that woman of Lu Cangsheng, who hasn't even mastered the Seventh Sea's cultivation..."

Qin Qian rolled her eyes. It turned out this guy didn't even know her name.

"My Qin Qian," she said.

Long Ting saw the blood between Li Weiyi's fingers and knew that he was putting on a brave face.

Just as he was about to activate the Crimson Fire Dragon Scale again.

A dense chorus of insect chirps filled my ears, along with the sound of flapping wings.

Suddenly, the Seven Phoenix Wing Moth Emperors summoned a large number of ferocious insects from the earth, transforming them into a swarming army of insects that flew towards the Long Ting like a luminous cloud.

"I almost forgot, you're also Insect Tamer."

Long Ting stood on the dragon's back, fearless and steadfast. He took out a bone flute, infused it with magical energy, and combined it with his Dao Heart Intent, playing a flute with extremely penetrating sound.

The Sound Wave and magical energy created visible ripples in the underground space.

Not to mention those ferocious insects, even Seventh Sea martial artist like Qin Qian was affected by the sound of the flute, her mind filled with distracting thoughts, and blood flowed from her ears.

Seeing the swarm of insects gradually becoming chaotic, Li Weiyi immediately released the Heaven and Earth Scripture.

With his mental power, he brought the swarm of insects within a radius of several dozen feet back to its normal course.

At the same time, he quickly drew Insect Script, which flew out from between his eyebrows and struck the General-class Fierce Insect.

Long Ting used the sound of his flute to control the swarm of insects, engaging in a fierce battle with the swarm controlled by Li Weiyi and the Seven Phoenix Wing Moth Emperors.

The dead insects fell like rain.

When he saw the two divine trees rising behind Li Weiyi, he was filled with awe, never expecting that this person had achieved such a great breakthrough in mental power.

However, this also proves that Li Weiyi's ancestral field is truly ruined!

Otherwise, why would they focus their cultivation on mental power?

"Aww!"

The Azure Dragon roared, its Dragon Roar deafening.

The azure Azure Dragon Light Shadow, several dozen feet long, beneath Long Ting's feet suddenly raised a sharp dragon claw and slammed it towards the jade boat, heading straight for Li Weiyi.

"Boom!"

The protective scriptures and light shield of the jade boat trembled violently as it was struck by the dragon's claws.

The boat rocked.

"He's catching up! He's gotten faster... no, it's us who's slowed down!"

Li Weiyi turned to look at Qin Qian at the bow of the ship and found that her face was extremely pale and her internal energy was severely depleted.

"Two mere Five Seas Realm, yet you've managed to keep me chasing you for so long; you're quite capable."

Long Ting flashed away, leaving the Azure Dragon Light Shadow behind, and unleashed Crimson Fire Dragon Scale from above, slashing at the jade boat once more.

Li Weiyi knew very well that the Crimson Fire Dragon Scale were extremely powerful, and even if he blocked them, he would still be injured.

Moreover, Long Ting would take the opportunity to board the jade boat.

Once he gets on the ship, I will be in a completely passive position.

Without any hesitation, in the blink of an eye, Li Weiyi used his movement technique to avoid the Crimson Fire Dragon Scale, stepped on the Yellow Dragon Projection and soared into the sky, appearing at the same height as the Long Ting.

"A direct confrontation with me? You're really confused!"

Long Ting's lips curled up, and he flicked his bone flute.

Dense Buddhist scriptures appeared on the surface of the flute.

The moment Li Weiyi's sword touched the bone flute, he felt an irresistible force, and the sword almost slipped from his grasp.

Long Ting saw Li Weiyi's predicament and knew that he had an unparalleled advantage in terms of realm and power. So, he formed a claw mark with his five fingers and grabbed at Li Weiyi's neck.

"Whoosh!"

Two Phoenix Wing Moth Emperor rushed out from behind Li Weiyi, one on the left and one on the right.

It spews Golden Crow Flame from its mouth and releases lightning from its eyes.

Long Ting's protective aura was broken, and he was greatly alarmed. He had no choice but to withdraw his claws that were grabbing at Li Weiyi's neck. Then, he unleashed a phantom image of a dragon claw with magical energy to neutralize the Golden Crow Flame and lightning.

At the same time, he Dao Heart Intent that three Phoenix Wing Moth Emperor rose up from behind him and extended their sharp claws to attack.

Long Ting compromised once again, abandoning his Li Weiyi, and instead mobilized a large amount of magical energy to activate the Silver Robe White Tunic he wore.

Countless silver scriptures appeared on his body.

"Bang!"

The sixth Phoenix Wing Moth Emperor appeared out of thin air and struck him, causing the silver scriptures to vibrate.

Long Ting felt as if he had been struck by a heavy punch, and he staggered backward in mid-air, breaking out in a cold sweat.

Fortunately, he chose to compromise and prioritize defense. Otherwise, with the tacit cooperation between Li Weiyi and the Qichong, the first wave of attacks would have severely injured him.

The fighting power of these Seven Mysterious Insects is simply incomparable to that of the ones at the Qianlong Lantern Festival.

Li Weiyi had time to heal. He circulated his internal energy and his arm recovered. He then led the Seven Phoenix Wing Moth Emperors to attack, engaging in a chaotic battle with the Long Ting, fighting from mid-air all the way to the water's surface.

"Bang! Bang..."

The stone walls on both sides of the river are constantly collapsing.

On the other side, the jade boat, struck by the Crimson Fire Dragon Scale, had its light shield and scriptures explode, and it sank into the water with a crash.

After a while, the jade boat floated to the surface.

Qin Qian lay on the bow of the boat, too injured to stand, and looked at the two fighting on the water. What she had thought would be a one-sided battle was now a fierce and evenly matched contest.

Long Ting was in extreme distress during the battle. Despite having a cultivation level that far surpassed his opponent's, he was constantly being restrained.

It seemed as if they were being besieged by eight Dao Seed Realm Martial Cultivators.

He could easily defeat any one of them, but the combined attack of seven insects overwhelmed him, leaving him flustered and constantly getting hit.

What's even more troublesome is that both Li Weiyi and the Seven Mysterious Insects have exceptionally strong defense and endurance, making it difficult to defeat them one by one.

After unleashing hundreds of moves, Long Ting seized an opportunity, and the Azure Dragon Light Shadow erupted from his body once more. He then broke out of the encirclement, retrieved the Crimson Fire Dragon Scale, and prepared to use this powerful weapon to break the formation of one person and seven insects.

"Whoosh!"

The Five Phoenix were known for their speed, and were able to catch up with the Long Ting, slashing at his neck with their wings to restrain him.

Even Qin Qian on the jade boat could see the danger of the situation. She immediately used her last bit of strength to unleash her thunder magic, summoning eighteen Lightning Strike Array to strike the Long Ting.

Li Weiyi moved with incredible speed, thrusting his sword towards Long Ting's brow.

Long Ting shook the Five Phoenix away, roaring, "Coiled Dragon Arm!"

This is the first Daoist technique he has ever practiced!

Cultivating Daoist arts is extremely difficult; it takes at least one or two years to master even the first level of a particular Daoist art.

Long Ting spent most of his time breaking through his cultivation level, and his Dao techniques were only at the initial stage, not yet reaching the first level. But even so, he was already able to unleash formidable combat power instantly.

His right arm was covered with dense black iron dragon scales, which collided with the sword thrust from Li Weiyi and the power of the six Phoenix Wing Moth Emperors.

"Boom!"

Li Weiyi's whole body suddenly trembled, the demonic runes on his body dimmed, his internal organs were in excruciating pain, and his body flew backward, spitting out a mouthful of blood.

All six Phoenix Wing Moth Emperor fell into the underground river.

On the other side, Long Ting was bleeding from all seven orifices, and was even more seriously injured. His body flew out and crashed into the stone wall with a bang, becoming embedded in it.

Both were decisive, possessed a tenacious fighting spirit, and had extremely high combat intelligence.

Li Weiyi took out the Purple Sky Lei Seal, summoned more than a dozen bolts of lightning, and smashed it against the stone wall.

Long Ting activated the Crimson Fire Dragon Scale and struck at Li Weiyi.

Upon seeing the incoming heavy weapon, the two men's expressions changed drastically, and they each used their movement techniques to escape and dodge.
