Battle with the Ghost Mother
The Ghost Infant's speed was unbelievably fast, like a purplish-black shadow.
The stench of blood was overwhelming.
Li Weiyi felt an extremely cold and yin power on her skin, causing her hair to stand on end. Almost instinctively, she summoned the Golden Crow Flame and spiritual light from the spirit world.
"Whoosh!"
He swung his arm as if to block.
On the back of his hand, a large patch of blazing crimson-gold flames appeared, like a wall of light, swatting away the approaching Ghost Infant from a distance.
The Ghost Infant crashed heavily onto a stall several dozen feet away, scattering the goods everywhere.
Its body was small, but its physical strength was extraordinary. Li Weiyi's swing of his arm could have shattered a magical artifact, but it struggled for a few moments before getting up again and pouncing on the pedestrians on the street.
His killing intent and ferocity were overwhelming, and his laughter was incessant. In the blink of an eye, he killed three people.
On the five-zhang-wide street, screams, shouts, and footsteps filled the air... chaos reigned as everyone fled. Top-tier experts from the Five Seas Realm intervened, but all who did were killed.
The Ghost Infant pounced on a shopkeeper who couldn't hide in the shop's protective formation in time, its tiny claws reaching for his heart.
With a whoosh, a crimson-gold spiritual light rope flew out from between Li Weiyi's eyebrows, wrapped around its neck, and he pulled hard with his arm.
The Ghost Infant screamed and cried, crashing to the ground at his feet.
The spiritual rope burned its neck, making a hissing sound.
Li Weiyi took a close look at it and couldn't help but hold his breath.
This doesn't look like a human baby at all.
It was so ferocious and terrifying, with fangs like saw teeth, bluish-black skin, and hair like a fleshy topknot.
Inside his belly was a large bulge—the heart he had swallowed earlier.
If this creature truly was born from drinking from the Mother-Child Spring, one can only imagine the feelings of the women and their families who have drunk from the Mother-Child Spring in the past two years.
This kind of Ghostly Creature deserves to be killed by everyone.
"Bang!"
Li Weiyi waved his hand, unleashing a massive handprint that killed him.
The street split open, revealing a large pit with a handprint more than a meter long. Inside the pit, there was purplish-black blood and bits of flesh that could be touched.
Li Weiyi felt a chill run down his spine and unleashed the Golden Crow Flame, incinerating all the pieces of flesh.
"Ah..."
A mournful and indignant cry came from afar.
The Sound Wave transformed into a hurricane.
The Ghost Mother, standing atop the stone pillar archway, was in excruciating pain, her cries filled with resentment. With her hands clenched into claws and Sha Qi aura surging towards Li Weiyi, she flew towards him.
Her long hair was disheveled, her eyes blazed with green flames, and her movements were unpredictable as she darted across the rooftops on both sides of the street.
As she moved, layers of frost on the ground quickly spread to Li Weiyi's feet.
"Swish! Swish..."
Six powerful Dao Seed Realm experts from the Imperial Court, riding on exotic birds and clad in white armor, rushed into the array of Light Veil this area and headed to meet the Ghost Mother.
Together they unleashed a net-like magical artifact. The scriptures emanating from the artifact enveloped the entire city area within a mile radius, suppressing the Ghost Mother and continuously binding her.
The Ghost Mother was very strong, but the six men who came to capture her were no ordinary fighters.
The streets were deserted; some pedestrians fled, while others hid inside shops.
The seven figures twinkled like seven stars, their powerful energy constantly being absorbed by the formations in the sky and underground. The boundary marker of Danyue Ward, several miles away, also shone brightly.
The chaotic battle at the Dao Seed Realm level only destroyed one or two houses.
The surrounding city streets are dotted with numerous vermilion towers and cloud towers, each over ten stories high, surrounded by secondary steps. The buildings are magnificent and offer a wide view. Countless young martial arts practitioners gathered by the railings, gazing into the distance and discussing the scene.
Li Weiyi felt some people watching her and, not wanting to stand out, quickly walked away along the stone steps in front of the shop.
"Bang!"
A powerful Imperial Court official in white armor was thrown horizontally like a cannonball, spitting blood as he fell to the ground a few feet away from Li Weiyi, unable to stand up.
He was severely injured by a single palm strike from the Ghost Mother, who was separated from him by a large net of magical artifacts.
Dozens of feet away, the Ghost Mother trapped in the net stared intently at Li Weiyi, who was trying to escape, and let out a sharp, piercing scream.
The Imperial Court experts, each wielding a magical artifact, stood at one corner of the net, their eardrums shattered, their skulls feeling as if they were about to be ripped apart by her roar.
"Sizzle!"
From the ancestral field of the Ghost Mother, a 1.5-meter-long cyan-gold Horse-Slaying Saber sword flew out, with a hilt over a foot long.
The purplish-black ghostly mist and the net of magical artifacts were torn apart by the cyan blade light she unleashed. The blade energy, like a cyan light wall, stretched from dozens of feet away all the way to behind Li Weiyi, domineering and incredibly powerful.
In the middle of the street, which stretched for dozens of meters, a deep ditch appeared, as if it had been plowed.
The five Imperial Court experts were all thrown out, crashing haphazardly into the array's Light Veil.
"She can actually use a knife?"
Li Weiyi was speechless. He had previously heard someone say that this person came from the West Sea Royal Mansion's Mansion and was a disciple of the Third Palace Master, which meant that he had two extraordinary backgrounds and his strength and inheritance were unimaginable.
He rushed forward at top speed, but was blocked by the array of Light Veil and could not escape.
In an instant, the Ghost Mother had traversed dozens of feet, appearing behind Li Weiyi with her sword drawn. Her porcelain-white face was covered with dense, purplish-black veins, making her appearance extremely ferocious.
"Whoosh!"
She held the swords in both hands, raised them above her head, and mobilized the power of all her muscles and bones to unleash a mid-air horse-riding slash.
Countless sword energies swirled around him, and over eight hundred scriptures appeared on the blade of the cyan-gold longsword. It was actually an Eighth-grade Hundred-Character Artifact, so one could imagine how domineering its power was.
"Forward!"
Li Weiyi's body flashed with spiritual light and flames.
He moved sideways for several dozen feet and appeared on the top of a three-story building on the right.
The Ghost Mother cleaved through the air with her sword, the blade's edge landing on the array's Light Veil not far away, causing the Light Veil to tremble like a raging torrent.
Her movements were incredibly fast; she moved through the Kongxu and caught up with Li Weiyi once again, her hatred overflowing.
"Swish! Swish..."
Li Weiyi continuously used the Forward Character Art to dodge and evade, leading her towards the five Imperial Court experts.
Unexpectedly, even the five Imperial Court experts had never encountered such a troublesome Ghost Mother, and they all fled in disarray. As long as they could trap her here, the Imperial Court would soon send even stronger warriors to suppress her.
The worst part is that Li Weiyi killed her child, and she only pursued Li Weiyi.
There's no way to avoid it.
Li Weiyi abruptly stopped, standing atop the pavilion, releasing a glimpse of his divine spirit. With a wave of his arm, a branch of the Fusang Divine Tree, several meters long, appeared, its leaves like crimson gold, stirring up terrifying energy fluctuations that collided with the longsword swung by the Ghost Mother.
With a single, forceful strike, he forced her back.
They separated abruptly, then collided suddenly.
"Boom! Bang!"
One person held a branch of the Spirit Light Tree, and the other held a knife.
Sometimes advancing, sometimes retreating, the power is pure and unadulterated, a back-and-forth exchange of moves.
Even without using the Staff Spear of All Things, Li Weiyi's mental power was no less formidable than hers. The only thing she needed to be wary of was the Rank Eighth-grade Hundred-Character Artifact, the Horse-Slaying Saber, in her hand.
Let alone slaying a horse, with her cultivation level, she could cleave a city wall in two with a single strike if there were no formation.
Two miles away, atop a towering cylindrical cloud tower in the Immortal Forest, countless noble sons of Lingxiao City gathered, all possessing Pure Immortal Body, gazing at the streets shrouded in ghostly mist.
The clash of swords and the roar of fire created a deafening sound as the techniques became increasingly complex.
"This young mind master is quite strong. With his spiritual energy enhanced, his reactions are swift, and he can engage in close combat with Song Qingli."
"His telekinetic abilities are quite unique, possessing immense energy. He was able to fight Song Qingli to a standstill, so he's no ordinary person. Do you know his background?"
"I've never seen this person before! Logically speaking, someone with such Psychic Power Attainment should have already made a name for themselves and been included in the <Cycle Record>."
"Song Qingli is the top expert under forty years old among the Song family members of the West Sea Royal Mansion. Even if you include those in their forties and fifties, she would still rank in the top five."
"The West Sea Royal Mansion's Mansion has accumulated a wealth of talent over the past sixty years, making it comparable to Myriad Gate Families."
Among the noble sons of Yunlou, there are many skilled fighters of the middle generation.
But they didn't go there, not wanting to get involved in any trouble.
Song Qingli's identity is special, involving significant interests and the reputations of many people. Defeat her and suppress her would bring no benefit. Injure her, however, could bring disaster.
If you lose and die at her hands... it will all be for nothing.
Taishi Yu was the number one person in Lingxiao City with the power of mind within the sixty-year lifespan. Among this group of people, he held a very high position and was surrounded by a throng of people. Martial arts masters, sons of high-ranking officials, and beautiful immortals all gathered around him.
"This Zuo Ning, humph, I didn't expect him to be such a busybody."
Taishi Yu's telekinetic senses had already noticed that area. He realized that Li Weiyi had missed the chance to escape that neighborhood because he was trying to save someone, and that he had gotten himself into trouble because he killed the Ghost Infant in anger.
This behavior dispelled much of his suspicion.
I was initially quite worried that this person was a member of a cult or Demon Race, a master planted by Taishi Bai's side.
Taishi Yu instructed one of his retainers, "Go and investigate why Song Qingli appeared at Danyue Ward."
A gasp rang out from the side. "Azure clouds veil the moon, flowing wind swirls snow. It's the West Sea Royal Mansion's Major Technique, the True Return Saber Technique."
On the street two miles away.
Li Weiyi originally thought that the Ghost Mother was mentally unstable and her battle tactics were chaotic, giving him the advantage. He could simply stall until the top experts of the Imperial Court arrived.
Suddenly, the magical energy within the Ghost Mother's body exploded out, transforming into an even denser, dark blue-black cloud. The Wind Force fiercely, and the snowflakes were like knives.
She unleashed a slash, employing the second level of the True Return Saber Technique, "Formless Slash."
Thousands of sword shadows flew out simultaneously, transforming into a river of swords.
The Ghost Mother danced above the River of Blades, her figure splitting into three, then into nine. In each of the nine directions, there were figures and long blades.
"Whoosh!"
Li Weiyi quickly retreated, activated his Heavenly Eye to distinguish truth from falsehood, and summoned the Staff Spear of All Things hidden in the Wind Mansion, activating it with his mental power.
"Boom!"
He wielded his spear like a club, striking the lapis lazuli longsword.
Auras and sword energy surged forth in all directions, filling the entire street with their power.
He deflected the long sword.
In the next instant, Li Weiyi's figure blurred, like a wisp of green smoke, and flashed in front of the Ghost Mother. He pointed a finger at her brow and uttered a soft shout, "Zhe!"
A ring of Sound Wave energy spread out from Li Weiyi, sending her flying like a falling leaf.
The strange thing is that the ghost mother, who was so fierce just now, fell to the ground after being calmed down by the word "". Her body went limp, and the long knife clattered to the ground, and she fell to the ground.
The purplish-black veins on his face faded quickly.
"Whoosh!"
The array's Light Veil opened, and a hundred-cavalry force from the Imperial Court and experts from the West Sea Royal Mansion arrived, surrounding the Ghost Mother.
An elder from the West Sea Royal Mansion took off his outer robe, knelt down, and prepared to cover the Ghost Mother's face and carry her away. Just then, the Ghost Mother slightly opened her eyes and called out, "Grandpa Fu..."
The elder was slightly taken aback, not expecting that Qingli would still be able to regain her senses after being caught up in the Ghost Infant incident.
