Faced with a life-or-death crisis, Li Weiyi didn't dare to hold back. He draped the Ghost Flag over himself, put on the Silver Thread gloves, and gripped the Yellow Dragon Sword.

He couldn't care about exposing his magical artifacts now; surviving this ordeal was all that mattered for tomorrow.

After a moment's thought, he covered his face again.

Li Ling stood up, observed the outside, and whispered, "The two people in the street and the backyard will definitely break in together later. We'll only have a chance to survive if I can catch them off guard and injure them with the very first move."

"If the first move doesn't work, find a chance to escape on your own! Just promise me that after you escape, you'll tell my brother everything that happened tonight. They may be strong, but my brother can crush them with one hand."

Li Weiyi suddenly felt a strange sense of shared destiny with her, and some of his dissatisfaction faded, allowing him to calmly consider the credibility of her words. Perhaps true friendship and emotional bonds could only be forged quickly in shared life-or-death moments.

After pondering for a long time, Li Weiyi still believed the most likely scenario was that she had come here to drag him down with her.

"What are you whispering about? Girl, so you came to Immortal Burial Town tonight because you're hiding a man here." Yan Qingqing's voice came from outside.

"As expected of the Dog-like Deformed Humanoid Race, your nose is sharp enough to even smell a man. Auntie, how well do you know men?" Li Ling glanced at Li Weiyi, as if to say, "See? I told you he couldn't hide from your nose."

She's not only scheming but also has a venomous tongue, a stark contrast to her sweet and obedient appearance, Li Weiyi thought to himself.

Yan Qingqing trembled with anger, "Prepare to attack!"

"Bang! Bang! Bang!"

She first struck three torches into the dilapidated house, illuminating the darkness.

Fortunately, the house was almost bare, with only earthen walls and tiles remaining, no flammable materials. Otherwise, if it caught fire, Li Ling's plan to surprise and injure the enemy would be rendered meaningless.

Yan Qingqing and Xing Wanxing, one after the other, rushed into the room almost simultaneously.

"Swish!"

Seven streaks of light flew from Li Ling's brow, winding and twisting, imbued with sharp and fiery power, cleaving the air in the room.

Seizing the opportunity, Li Weiyi burst through the window with a "bang."

"Swish! Swish..."

The Earth Wolf King Army's martial cultivators waiting outside were fully prepared. Before he could even land, five or six arrows flew towards him.

The wide Ghost Flag draped over Li Weiyi rolled up, catching all the arrows, and then he hurled them back. Muffled thuds and screams echoed in the darkness as two people fell.

Before he could rush out of the backyard, two experts at the Four Springs realm simultaneously intercepted him.

One was a Tiger-like Deformed Humanoid, over three meters tall, his hands transformed into sharp tiger claws. His thick eyebrows merged with his hair, and his palm strikes were powerful, stirring up a gale that swept through the entire backyard.

The other wielded a semicircular battle axe the size of a cartwheel.

The axe, weighing three hundred jin, descended with a cleave, blocking Li Weiyi's path.

They were veterans, possessing extraordinary combat awareness and skills. At close range, they dared to fight together even against a Spirit Master like Li Ling.

Li Weiyi had no choice but to evade. He first exchanged a palm strike with the Tiger-like Deformed Humanoid expert, forcing him to retreat and smash through the backyard wall.

Then, he clashed sword against sword with the Four Springs expert wielding the battle axe. He knocked the heavy battle axe from the latter's hand, causing his tiger's mouth to split open and bleed profusely.

Good, they're just two Second Spring martial cultivators.

Li Weiyi secretly rejoiced and kicked the expert who had lost his axe away. The sound of cracking ribs echoed from his chest as he spat a mouthful of blood.

Breaking through the collapsed backyard wall, Li Weiyi swung his sword and sent the Four Springs Tiger-like Deformed Humanoid flying.

The Second Spring deformed humanoids really do have stronger defenses. I couldn't cut him in half with one sword. I wasn't as strong as him when I was at the Second Spring realm!

Before this, Li Weiyi had only fought against two First Spring deformed humanoids when he saved Zhao Zhipin. This time, facing two Second Spring martial cultivators simultaneously, the pressure was immense, and he dared not hold back.

His combat experience was extremely limited, so he could only judge the opponents' cultivation levels based on his own situation.

Seven or eight more Earth Wolf King Army martial cultivators attacked him head-on, each fierce and fearless.

Li Weiyi knew his cultivation was low, so he channeled his spiritual power into the Yellow Dragon Sword and attacked with all his might. Instantly, sword light and blood light scattered, and screams and wails echoed through the night sky.

Behind him.

"Boom!"

The dilapidated house couldn't withstand the fierce battle of the three powerhouses and collapsed, kicking up thick dust.

Li Ling, Yan Qingqing, and Xing Wanxing leaped out of the ruins and were greatly shocked to see the seven or eight corpses of martial cultivators that Li Weiyi had killed.

Keep in mind that they were at least Second Spring martial cultivators, and there were even Four Springs experts among them.

Li Weiyi glanced back in a hurry and found that all three of them were injured. Among them, the short and stout Xing Wanxing was the most severely wounded, with several shocking bloody gashes on his body from the streaks of light.

Li Ling wasn't much better. Her face was as pale as white stone, the streaks of light on her brow were noticeably dimmer, and her waist had been stabbed by Yan Qingqing's soft sword, bleeding continuously.

Spirit Masters were at a significant disadvantage in close-quarters combat.

"No wonder you're the wild man of the Cangli Tribe chief's granddaughter. Turns out you're not a completely useless pretty boy. Let me test your depth!"

Xing Wanxing leaped like a toad, covering three to four zhang, and slammed a palm towards Li Weiyi.

A wide wall of energy formed in front of his palm.

Compared to this, the palm strike of the previous Tiger-like Deformed Humanoid was like night and day.

Li Weiyi was pouring Golden Crow Blood onto his Scripture Belt, preparing to flee, when he suddenly felt as if heaven and earth were collapsing. A terrifying force, capable of crushing him, surged towards him like a tidal wave.

"Overturning Sky Palm Seal."

He fully mobilized the Three Springs within his body.

Especially the spring eye in his right palm, drawn by this palm technique, it instantly erupted with madness, reaching the peak of its activity.

The Silver Thread gloves surged with light.

He unleashed a palm strike, the palm wind solidified to the extreme, as if a true great seal was pressed down.

"Bang!"

He was no match for it and was sent flying back, crashing through and collapsing an earthen wall.

Xing Wanxing didn't feel good either. He felt Li Weiyi's power surge into his body, his left arm becoming cold and numb. After landing, he retreated three steps backward.

"Swish!"

Li Weiyi burst out from the collapsed earthen wall, enveloped by the bloody light of the Scripture Belt, he fled like lightning towards the eastern market of Immortal Burial Town.

The eastern market bordered the Sui River and also the Dragon Slaying Pass waterfall.

If all else failed, he could jump down the waterfall, putting himself in mortal danger to find a way to survive.

"Six Springs Dharma Martial cultivators are indeed terrifying. A casual wave of their hand is beyond my ability to resist. But why wasn't I injured? Was he too heavily wounded, his combat power severely diminished? Or was he overconfident and didn't use his full strength?"

Li Weiyi felt that Xing Wanxing's palm strike was at most comparable to a Four Springs Dharma Martial cultivator. With the enhancement of the Silver Thread gloves, a magical artifact, he could naturally withstand it.

"So you're this powerful. I knew the omens of the Netherlight Guide Envoy would be accurate."

Li Ling flew across the rooftops of houses, relentlessly pursuing Li Weiyi.

"Stop following me. Let's go our separate ways here."

Li Weiyi felt bitter in his heart. With his cultivation of Three Springs, he could still kill soldiers of the Earth Wolf King Army who had opened One or Two Springs. But the ones chasing him were disciples of Shi Jiuzhai, one with Six Springs and the other with Seven Springs.

If those two truly got serious, they could crush him with a single finger.

"It's a magical artifact, his speed is incredible."

Xing Wanxing, chasing on the rooftops, stared intently at the bloody glow enveloping Li Weiyi. He felt that with his own speed, he couldn't catch up. Thus, he mobilized all his Dharma power and hurled the short sword, about a foot long, in his hand.

The Six Springs Dharma power granted the short sword extreme speed.

"Careful!"

Li Ling exclaimed in warning.

It was too late. The short sword had already reached Li Weiyi's back.

The next moment, something happened that dropped the jaws of the three people behind him.

Li Weiyi, who was fleeing at top speed, turned around like lightning. His hands moved like illusions, and he actually grabbed the hilt of the incoming short sword and took it into his hand.

As he turned and continued to flee, he threw the short sword back at Xing Wanxing.

Xing Wanxing, startled, hastily dodged and fell from the rooftop. The pants on his thigh were torn by the sword's edge, leaving a long gash, and a chill seeped in.

It wasn't fatal, but it almost cost him his manhood.

Xing Wanxing had never witnessed such a divine skill of disarming an opponent. Cold sweat beaded on his forehead. Just how high was the opponent's cultivation?

But...

Why was he running?

Li Ling was also amazed by Li Weiyi's maneuver and chided, "You shouldn't have hidden your strength! If we had teamed up earlier, we might have been able to kill them all."

What Li Weiyi performed was "Spirit Treasure Snatch" from the Chan Sect's Twelve Loose Hand Techniques.

In his opinion, it was the speed enhancement from the Scripture Belt that allowed him to succeed in snatching the weapon. Otherwise, for a mortal with Three Springs to snatch the weapon of a Six Springs expert, what a fantasy that would be?

Li Weiyi felt that magical artifacts were truly useful, allowing Dharma Martial cultivators to unleash combat power that didn't belong to their own realm. No wonder Zhao Zhipzhu had so cautiously warned him about magical artifacts.

The Scripture Belt was definitely of a higher grade than the Silver Thread gloves.

Yan Qingqing stared at the mysterious man below, clad in a black flag and with his face completely obscured. The man's cultivation was unfathomable, and he was likely even more troublesome than Li Ling.

More importantly, this mysterious man also knew their secret, and he had to be silenced.

She took out a pinch of Stone Monkey Flying Needles, channeling Dharma power into her fingertips. With a graceful wave of her sleeve, nearly a hundred needles shot silently towards Li Weiyi.

Li Weiyi sensed the danger and, with no time to dodge, could only raise the Ghost Flag draped over him and inject Dharma power into it.

"Whoosh!"

Dense Nether Mist surged out from the Ghost Flag.

All the incoming Stone Monkey Flying Needles fell to the ground.
