Slaying the Two Wangs
Wang Shu's movements were extremely fast, like a nimble ape or a flying bird, leaping dozens of feet across the steep cliff face, Li Weiyi could not catch up with.
However, the six Phoenix Wing Moth Emperors could fly and swoop down to pursue him, their speed no less than his.
Especially Five Phoenix, Innate Dao Technique seems to be speed, so fast that she is only a shadow. She is the first to catch up with Wang Shu, spread her membranous wings, and slash at his neck.
"Court death!"
Wang Shu turned around in mid-air and swung his sword.
The Hundred-Character Weapon Blade struck Five Phoenix, sending him crashing into the stone wall with a low cry, indicating he had suffered a wound.
Just this brief delay.
The other five Phoenix Wing Moth Emperor caught up with Wang Shu and surrounded him in the center.
The five little ones let out high-pitched cries, vowing revenge for the Five Phoenix, unleashing Golden Crow Flame, releasing lightning, striking with sharp claws, or stealthily launching sneak attacks...
Even with his profound Wang Shu was overwhelmed and unable to defend himself effectively.
Li Weiyi, from afar, condensed an Ash Extinguishing Finger Technique.
"Whoosh!"
A finger is flicked out from a distance.
A beam of golden-red light streaked across a distance of several dozen feet and landed on Wang Shu.
Wang Shu was trapped in the attack of five Phoenix Wing Moth Emperor when Li Weiyi shattered his Dao Heart Manifestation and protective aura with a single finger. The beam of light struck his chest, and his body was thrown out, crashing into rocks and rolling on the hillside.
Li Weiyi was about to press his advantage when suddenly, a warning signal struck him. The hairs on his body stood on end, and almost instinctively, he swung his sword to the right, unleashing a bright sword beam.
Wang Zhi burst out from a crevice in the cliff face, conjuring two Bone Claw Seal that tore through the sword light and lunged at Li Weiyi.
He did not flee, but hid here in an ambush.
After all, if Wang Shu were to meet with misfortune, he too would be annihilated.
Their lives were intertwined.
"Bang! Bang!"
Telekinetic flame whip, swordsmanship, movement techniques, leg techniques...
Li Weiyi used every means at his disposal to desperately defend himself, clashing repeatedly with Wang Zhi on the cliff face. Each move was deadly and swift.
Li Weiyi was hit by Wang Zhi's three claws, but with the Blood Handprint Demonic Armor protecting her, she was able to withstand it and her body was intact, but her skin was bleeding and her internal organs were in unbearable pain.
Wang Zhi was struck by his sword.
The sword sliced through Wang Zhi's chest, and blood flowed continuously.
Unable to stop the bleeding.
What terrified Wang Zhi even more was that the soul of the departed spirit within him was wounded by the Yellow Dragon Sword, and its soul power was constantly dissipating from the wound, making him increasingly weak.
I have never encountered such a strange sword before.
Holding the Ghost Flag, Yang Qingxi stood on the shoulder of the Yin Ghost Commander and joined the battle.
"Boom!"
The Yin Ghost Commander let out a long howl, swung his battle halberd, and knocked Wang Zhi, who was fighting with Li Weiyi, into the cliff wall, with rocks tumbling down.
"Clang!"
Li Weiyi seized the opportunity and thrust out with his sword.
The sword flashed like a yellow light, piercing Wang Zhi's chest and pinning his body firmly to the recessed cliff face.
"Who... who exactly are you?"
Wang Zhi let out a sharp scream, feeling as if the Yellow Dragon Sword was a red-hot iron rod piercing through his body. The pain was excruciating, burning his soul to ashes.
"Whoosh!"
A cold wind blew from behind Li Weiyi.
Yang Qingchan, her hair disheveled, appeared beside Li Weiyi, extending a slender, pale hand. Her five fingers pierced through Wang Zhi's skull, and she chanted a spell, performing some kind of necromancy technique.
The next moment.
She extracted the spirit from Wang Zhi's body and inhaled its soul power bit by bit, looking extremely pleased.
The spirits in the Netherworld of the Departed, especially the ghostly spirits, almost all of them have cultivated the art of "devouring spirits".
"How could this be? The consciousness of the departed spirit within Wang Zhi has been largely obliterated, leaving its soul power extremely weak. How did he do that? Was it that sword?"
As Yang Qingchan refined the soul power within her body with a look of surprise, she glanced at Li Weiyi's retreating figure as he drew his sword and left.
After being caught up by Li Weiyi, Yang Qingxi, Yang Qingchan, and the Yin Ghost Commander, Wang Shu knew he wouldn't be able to escape today. He fought and retreated, saying in a deep voice, "Li Weiyi, you're too foolish. Haven't you seen the situation clearly?"
"I am the divine son of the cult, yet those Great True Disciples and elders stood by and watched me die, refusing to help. Don't you even think about why?"
"They're waiting for you to kill me, commit a heinous crime, and then devour you alive, taking all the treasures you possess. When the snipe and the clam fight, the fisherman profits."
Wang Shu approached the Patrol Guard of the Heavenly Principle Hall and pleaded for help, but the Patrol Guard quickly retreated, showing no intention of protecting him.
The martial arts instructors who used to Patrol Guard were quite close to him.
At this moment, Wang Shu finally saw his master's true colors. If it weren't for his prior instructions, how could the Patrol Guard have acted this way?
For the sake of profit, even disciples can be sacrificed.
Li Weiyi had long been aware of all this, but his resolve remained unwavering. The conflict had already escalated to this point, forging a deep-seated enmity between the two sides. To let Wang Shu go would truly be to release a tiger back into the mountains.
Once Wang Shu has fully condensed the Dao Lotus, even if Li Weiyi hides back in the Southern Clear Palace, he will definitely go to the ground and take revenge on everyone close to Li Weiyi.
Wang Shu said, "You don't actually think that Venerable Nan will protect you, do you? These old guys from the Divine Cult are all selfish, greedy, and ruthless. Their so-called master is just someone who sees you as useful; he has no humanity whatsoever."
"Li Weiyi, spare my life, and I swear I will never retaliate."
Li Weiyi would never believe him, so she shouted sternly, "Wang Shu, don't think that your master's refusal to save you is selfish and greedy. The Deputy Hall Master is so wise; he must have discovered your wicked deeds, your slaughter of fellow disciples, and your embezzlement of the Divine Sect's wealth long ago, just like us..."
"If you're determined to find fault, you'll always find a reason. Since you've lost your mind, there's nothing more to say. If you want to kill me, you'll pay a terrible price."
Six Bodhi Seed flew out of Wang Shu's ancestral field in succession.
Each Bodhi Seed is engraved with hundreds of scriptures and has been refined into a ritual implement.
The six scriptures and the six Bodhi Seed are all of the same origin and form a set of ritual implements, which contains a total of more than 800 scriptures.
If one can perfectly understand these scriptures and control the power of the six Bodhi Seed to the extreme, theoretically, it is enough to unleash the power of Eighth-grade Hundred-Character Artifact.
However, it is far more difficult to control than an Eighth-grade Hundred-Character Artifact.
With Wang Shu's current cultivation level, he can only unleash a very small portion of its power.
Yang Qingxi said, "This set of magical artifacts is extremely precious, worth more than a million Spring Coin. It's impossible for Wang Shu to possess it; it must have been obtained from a secret treasure vault. Should we capture him alive first?"
"Don't even dream about it! Do you really think the Patrol Guard of the Heavenly Principle Hall are just for show? That they'd give you a chance to capture them alive?"
"Either don't do it at all, or do it thoroughly."
Li Weiyi, the six Phoenix Wing Moth Emperors, Yang Qingxi, Yang Qingchan, and the Yin Ghost Commander —ten figures in total—surrounded Wang Shu, and even the six Bodhi Seed could not stop them.
Li Weiyi remained resolute, not thinking about the potential troubles ahead, nor like Yang Qingxi, who wanted to force Wang Shu to reveal the location of the secret treasure vault.
There was only one thought.
Kill Wang Shu to prevent future troubles.
"Pfft!"
He darted forward and severed Wang Shu's right arm from behind with a single sword strike.
The magical weapon, a battle blade, fell to the ground.
Blood gushed from Wang Shu's shoulder, and he screamed in agony. He could no longer effectively control the six Bodhi Seed and stumbled as he fled.
"Puff!"
Yang Qingxi, controlling the Yin Ghost Commander, swung his battle halberd and cleaved Wang Shu in two at the waist.
With a whoosh, she landed beside Wang Shu's corpse, pointed her finger, and examined his ancestral field.
The real treasures are hidden in the ancestral fields.
The ancestral field of Dao Seed Realm Martial Cultivator has a vast inner world, but from the outside, it appears to be only the size of an Acupoints, requiring careful exploration to locate.
The endogenous world is like a bubble blown out of the real world.
"The ancestral field was completely empty, but the boundary bag... contained so many cultivation resources: blood crystals, Thousand-Year Elixir, magic artifacts, and Spring Coin..."
Yang Qingxi took away Wang Shu's magic bag and gave Yang Qingchan a look, signaling her to quickly collect Wang Shu's magic weapon, the battle sword, and the six Bodhi Seed.
At this moment, Li Weiyi had no intention of competing with her for resources; she held her sword and looked at the Patrol Guard who were approaching.
"Boom!"
All three hundred Patrol Guard were martial artists at the Five Seas Realm.
They wore white armor, rode Departed Spirit Soul Beast, and wielded standard magical spears.
The Departed Spirit Soul Beast mount galloped wildly, causing the earth to shake and mountains to tremble, surrounding Li Weiyi, Yang Qingxi, and Yang Qingchan.
With average talent and decades of honing their skills, most martial artists can open the Seven Springs. As long as there are enough Five Seas Pill, a large number of the Five Seas Realm martial artists can be cultivated.
Qianwei Zongqi, riding "Yi Zhouxue," a seven-meter-long giant chicken-headed, tiger-bodied soul beast, slowly walked out from the Patrol Guard. Looking at Wang Shu's two severed corpses on the ground, his face was as cold as ice. He had never felt so heartbroken and distressed as he did today.
He desperately wanted to save Wang Shu, but ultimately dared not disobey his master's orders.
"Whoosh!"
Yi Zhouxue is Great True Disciple. The Dao Heart Manifestation is released, transforming into a thick cloud of Dharma energy that suppresses Li Weiyi and the other two, rendering them unable to move.
This is the Great True Disciple!
In any state of Lingxiao Shengjing, he is among the strongest.
"Lock him up and take him back to the Heavenly Principle Hall," Yi Zhouxue ordered.
"Ha ha!"
The laughter of Sikong Jingyuan and Sikong Yanlun grew louder as they approached.
In an instant, the two appeared from the top of Lingji Mountain to the foot of the mountain, their figures resembling two round wheels, riding the wind and mist, far surpassing Wang Shu's skill.
"Lord Qianwei, the murder of the Divine Child is a major case, and it should be handled by our Ku Rong Hall," Sikong Jingyuan said.
Yi Zhouxue sensed the fluctuations of Dao Lian's aura on Sikong Jingyuan and Sikong Yanlun.
Clearly, these two Fifth Divine Son, having trained in the Netherworld of the Departed, have made rapid progress in their cultivation and entered the Fourth Heaven the Dao Seed Realm.
How could Yi Zhouxue not know their intentions? He clasped his hands in a salute and said, "Two divine sons, the deceased was my junior brother. The Heavenly Principle Hall and the Patrol Guard will never let the murderer go. Please give us some face."
Sikong Yanlun said rudely, "Since he's your junior brother, why did you hide and not save him?"
Sikong Jingyuan smiled and said, "I heard from Li Weiyi that Wang Shu massacred many of his fellow disciples before his death. There must be a bigger case behind this, and the Ku Rong Hall will definitely investigate it thoroughly. So I'm really sorry, I can't give you that face!"
"Rewarding and punishing according to the law is the duty of the Ku Rong Hall."
Sikong Jingyuan and Sikong Yanlun moved among the Patrol Guard, walked into the open space in the center, and looked down at the three people who were suppressed by the external manifestation of the Yi Zhouxue Dao Heart Manifestation.
The difference was that Sikong Jingyuan, with a slight smile, stared intently at the six strange insects and the Ghost Flag.
Meanwhile, Sikong Yanlun's gaze lingered intently on Yang Qingxi and Yang Qingchan.
Yi Zhouxue's tone turned somber. "If we cannot capture the murderer, I'm afraid I won't be able to return and report."
That's your problem!
Sikong Yanlun spread his arms wide, and between his hands, a demonic wheel condensed. After being thrown out, it spun rapidly, the Wind Force as a knife, crushing Yi Zhouxue's Dao Heart Manifestation inch by inch, intending to snatch her directly.
"Boom!"
Yi Zhouxue let out a deep snort, thrusting out his spear and shattering the demon wheel, turning it into a cloud of cold mist.
Three hundred Patrol Guard simultaneously raised their spears and activated their armor. Immediately, a battle formation materialized above their heads, with countless scriptures flying within it.
In an instant, tensions rose between the two sides, and the atmosphere became tense and deadly.
"Stop!"
A young voice shouted from mid-air.
The people on the ground were all stunned by the power contained in the sound, feeling dizzy and unsteady, as if divine thunder had exploded in their minds.
"Call!"
The massive body of the Two-Headed Golden-Winged Eagle, carrying two figures, descended from mid-air, its wings whipping up a violent Wind Force.
