Slay with One Sword

Holding a serpent spear, the Young Marquis protected himself with the blood energy and crimson scriptures of the Blood Handprint Demonic Armor. Like a streak of blood-red light, he charged straight across the snow-covered plains toward the county town more than a hundred miles away.

He was in agony, his sister's Decapitated Corpse was in his pouch, he gripped his spear tightly, and his eyes were filled with boundless killing intent.

However, they dared not linger for even a moment, their previous high spirits and confidence gone.

Although the opponent relied on powerful weapons, his mental warfare tactics were absolutely outstanding. More importantly, the person was very young and remained calm throughout, as if everything was under his control.

Behind me, a piercing whistling sound filled the air.

Getting closer and closer.

"Whoosh!"

Li Weiyi traversed space, Purple Mist Light Cluster appeared above the Young Marquis's head.

Li Weiyi had just stepped out of the Purple Mist Light Cluster when a spear shot towards him like lightning. Those who had cultivated to the level of Young Marquis were extremely adept at seizing opportunities, even in dire situations.

Offense and defense, escape and kill, must be changed in an instant.

Li Weiyi remained calm and composed, using his sword to defend and parry.

"Sizzle!"

The sword and the spear rubbed together, producing a shower of sparks and a piercing sound.

The immense force of the spear sent Li Weiyi flying six or seven zhang away. Upon landing, he kicked up snowflakes.

"Indeed, one must always be cautious and never underestimate any martial arts practitioner."

Li Weiyi had been using all his mental perception to be wary of the distant county town. He was under immense pressure from the Longevity Realm Giants, which reduced his attention to the Young Marquis, which is why he was caught off guard.

The opponent's timing in adapting to changes in offense and defense was absolutely brilliant.

One chased, the other pursued.

Within a hundred miles of entering the county town, Li Weiyi intercepted the Young Marquis, and the two clashed fiercely, spear to spear.

Li Weiyi's attention was mostly focused on the county town, and he dared not relax.

Seven Phoenix Wing Moth Emperors flew out, each unleashing their innate Innate Dao Technique. In a short while, Li Weiyi seized the opportunity and cleaved the Young Marquis away with a spear. Even though the Blood Handprint Demonic Armor neutralized some of the attack, he was still severely injured, blood flowing continuously from his mouth.

The Seven Phoenix Wing Moth Emperors were at the Fourth Heaven Realm, but each of them possessed combat power comparable to martial cultivators at the Fifth Heaven or Sixth Heaven.

How could the Young Marquis possibly fight eight opponents alone?

Inside the county town, Marquis Divine Wing had never been so furious. To be provoked by a Dao Seed Realm Martial Cultivator was an utter disgrace. He looked behind him and saw that the sacrificial ceremony was already more than halfway through.

Four blood-red wings, each ten feet long, spread out on its back.

With a flap of its four wings, magical energy Wind Force swept across the entire city.

"Swish!"

Dozens of foot-long, blood-red feathers, enveloped by the River of Mana Qi, flew towards the snow-covered plains ninety miles away.

Each Blood Feather is far superior to ordinary magical artifacts, containing the essence of Blood Wing Marquis's blood, and can be controlled even from a great distance.

"Bang! Bang! Bang!"

A horizontal slash to the waist and abdomen, a forward thrust to the heart, and a strike to the shoulder in mid-air.

Li Weiyi's movements were fluid and graceful; with three consecutive spear thrusts, he completely pierced through the Young Marquis's defenses.

The Young Marquis suffered internal injuries, a broken shoulder bone, and bleeding from all seven orifices. He knelt on the ground, fainted, and then collapsed.

No kills.

Such a young prodigy, riding Wind Chasing Beast, could not possibly have an ordinary background. Only by sparing his life can we lure out the Longevity Realm Giants within the city.

Li Weiyi sensed dozens of Blood Feather entering the psychic field and dared not be careless. He fully activated the inner layer of the Blood Handprint Demonic Armor and the outer layer of the Provincial Governor's Official Robe for defense.

Blood Feather flew down from above the Emerald Yellow Pine Forest, creating a play of light and shadow of dozens of Strange Bird.

They attacked Li Weiyi from various different directions, meandering towards her.

"Bang! Bang..."

Li Weiyi wielded a sword in one hand and a spear in the other, his movements fluid and unpredictable, sometimes leaping into the air, sometimes teleporting through space, causing Blood Feather to explode repeatedly.

Before long, only a dozen or so remained.

It was drawn back by the will of the Longevity Realm Giants in the city and disappeared into the horizon.

"At this distance, you still can't do anything to me. Stop spreading your feathers, or your wings will become bald."

Li Weiyi shouted again, trying every possible means to provoke the Longevity Realm Giants and lure him out of the city.

A showdown between the Longevity Realm Giants?

Li Weiyi had absolutely no confidence.

Seeing no response, Li Weiyi walked towards the Young Marquis, took his serpent spear, and removed his Blood Handprint Demonic Armor. He then took his boundary bag, threw Luo Yi's corpse out of the bag, and removed the Blood Handprint Demonic Armor from her body.

The three Seventh-Rank Hundred-Character Artifacts) on each side were all in the bag.

Suddenly.

Li Weiyi's eyes sharpened as he detected a terrifying aura approaching at the edge of his psychic perception, moving at an unparalleled speed.

At their speed, they will arrive in a few breaths.

Has it really escalated to this point?

Longevity Realm Giants so impatient?

Li Weiyi put away the Staff Spear of All Things, affixed the Lightning Escape Talisman given to him by Taishi Yu to his body, held the Yellow Dragon Sword in one hand, and used the Young Marquis as a shield in the other.

"Boom!"

With a thunderous roar, Li Weiyi's body transformed into a bolt of lightning and vanished from the spot.

Just as he left, a Qi-tracing Dao technique passed right by the spot where he had just stood.

Marquis Divine Wing was genuinely enraged, but the fundamental reason he recklessly stormed out of the county town was that he had discovered Li Weiyi was carrying an extraordinary treasure. Secondly, it was to rescue his beloved son, and only lastly, it was out of anger.

With the help of the Lightning Escape Talisman, Li Weiyi's speed was comparable to that of a powerhouse who had just entered the Longevity Realm in a short period of time.

He knew perfectly well that with this speed, it was impossible to escape from the Marquis Divine Wing. The next few dozen breaths would be an unprecedented challenge.

The Yellow Dragon Sword in his hand has a Divine Sword Talisman forged by Duke Taishi, which can slay Longevity Realm Giants.

On his back was the Thousand Character Artifact Cloak given to him by Tang Wanzhou, containing the full force of the Dragon Head Camel's attack.

These are two of the most powerful killing techniques!

However, the gap between Li Weiyi and the Longevity Realm Giants is too great. The other party doesn't even need to get close; they could kill him from several miles away. The other party hasn't used any magical artifacts for long-range attacks, clearly because they're afraid of harming the hostages he's holding.

This solved Li Weiyi's biggest headache!

Secondly, the opponent is extremely fast. If the distance is too close, Li Weiyi may not even have time to unleash the Divine Sword Talisman before being rendered incapacitated.

The distance of the shot must be judged accurately.

Thirdly, the Longevity Realm Giants have an extremely keen sense of danger and react very quickly.

It can be said that Li Weiyi's biggest advantage right now is that he is weak enough that even the most cautious Longevity Realm Giants will underestimate him.

Li Weiyi turned her head to look at the Great Palace Master on her back. Her eyes were still closed, her breathing was even, and she didn't respond even after being called several times.

Zen Sea Observing Mist said that carrying her on one's back would be a Protective Talisman, but it's hard to say how reliable that is.

"They're here!"

The blood-red Dao Heart Manifestation, like thousands of shackles, fell upon Li Weiyi.

Li Weiyi, who was running at high speed, suddenly trembled, and his speed decreased sharply, becoming slower and slower.

Even though Marquis Divine Wing was still three miles away, he had already suppressed Li Weiyi to the point that he could not move an inch. His magical energy condensed into misty chains, which wrapped around Li Weiyi's arms and legs in circles.

"Then let's die together! Today we've already slain nine Dao Seeds of the Demon Kingdom, that's enough!"

Li Weiyi deliberately feigned being in dire straits, his face contorted with bulging veins, roaring with resentment as he desperately raised his arm amidst the opponent's Dao Heart Manifestation and slashed at the Young Marquis.

"How dare you!"

Marquis Divine Wing spread his four wings, skimming low into the air, and let out a loud shout.

He launched a telepathic attack on Li Weiyi, attempting to stop him.

The Battle Intent of Longevity Realm Giants can easily shatter the soul consciousness of the Five Seas Realm martial artist, even across several miles. Dao Seed Realm Martial Cultivator, having already begun cultivating their soul, possesses a certain degree of resistance.

Li Weiyi was prepared, raising the Fusang Divine Tree Spirit God to resist the opponent's Intent Attack. In his consciousness, the body of the Marquis Divine Wing was even taller than the Fusang Divine Tree, exuding a powerful sense of oppression.

The Fusang Divine Tree could not stop it; it could only buy a little time.

Seizing this brief moment, Li Weiyi activated the Divine Sword Talisman on the Yellow Dragon Sword. Countless runes appeared on the sword's body.

A thousand years ago, special envoys dispatched by the Lingxiao Palace would carry a Divine Sword Talisman when going out on missions. This Longevity Realm Martial Cultivator, much like Imperial Sword.

To Li Weiyi's surprise, the Divine Sword Talisman had not yet been activated.

A mile away, a painful scream was heard first.

Marquis Divine Wing fell from mid-air, clutching his head, blood gushing from his eyes and nose. Terrified, he stumbled and tried to escape, no longer daring to pursue Li Weiyi.

Just now, Marquis Divine Wing, filled with overwhelming killing intent, unleashed his battle Intent Attack, intending to overwhelm Li Weiyi's consciousness and directly obliterate his soul.

But it backfired.

An unknown force retaliated tenfold, severely damaging his soul and scattering his will.

Marquis Divine Wing didn't know was that Li Weiyi was carrying Yu Yaozi on his back. When his killing intent and Battle Intent at the Longevity Realm level attacked, Yu Yaozi sensed the danger and automatically sent a wisp of her consciousness back.

The timing was perfect.

Li Weiyi unleashed the Yellow Dragon Sword, and instantly the runes of the Divine Sword Talisman flew out, carrying the sword itself.

The surrounding world was filled with Sword Qi energy, turning everything in its path to dust.

"Boom!"

A single sword stroke tore through the snow-covered plains, the blade spreading for twenty miles.

The Sword Qi ravine stretched from his feet to the distant horizon, reaching a depth of six or seven meters in the deepest part and as wide as a river.

Is this the power of a talisman?

Li Weiyi froze on the spot, took a deep breath, enveloped the Young Marquis with his magical energy, and used his movement technique to rush swiftly towards the end of the Sword Qi ravine twenty miles away.

The physical body of the Marquis Divine Wing was torn to pieces and scattered for miles around.

The armor was relatively intact, except that the abdomen area was pierced by the Yellow Dragon Sword.

"Clang!"

The Yellow Dragon Sword was retrieved from the depths of the soil.

Li Weiyi held the sword hilt, sighing inwardly. He had only forged one Divine Sword Talisman. Such a talisman was far more valuable than using it directly to intimidate enemies.

Having lost the Divine Sword Talisman, Li Weiyi immediately searched for the Marquis Divine Wing's Boundary Bag.

Nothing was gained.

It's unclear whether it shattered under the Divine Sword Talisman or whether Marquis Divine Wing never had a boundary bag at all.

Only a two-meter-long bow was found.

Li Weiyi didn't have time to check the bow's grade. He threw it into the Blood Mud Space, put away the damaged armor, and then carried the Young Marquis towards the distant county town.

Seven or eight miles outside the county town, Li Weiyi used various methods to probe. Only after confirming that there were no other Longevity Realm experts in the city did he lead Seven Phoenix Wing Moth Emperors and the swarm of insects they summoned to attack the city.

"Boom!"

The Purple Sky Lei Seal broke through the City Protection Formation.

Seven Phoenix Wing Moth Emperors and seven Insect Swarm Army surged in from the ground and the sky respectively.

The county town's Defensive Formation weren't particularly strong. Even after the demon kingdom's experts arrived, they only had time to set up a Concealment Array that covered the entire town.
