A Battle of Life and Death

Zuoqiu Hongting, the imposter Li Weiyi, displayed formidable mental power.

Golden Crow Flame surged from between her brows, flying in wisps across the sea, boiling the water beneath her feet. The sharp Staff Spear of All Things, along with the star Formation Disk they unleashed, clashed head-on with the blue gourd she had conjured, holding their Zhen Xin against the array plate she had created.

The entire sea area, spanning several miles, was cleared away by the combined power and energy of the four individuals.

No one dared to approach the past.

"The strength she's displayed is too great, take it easy." Li Weiyi immediately reminded her telepathically, after all, Zuoqiu Hongting now represents "Li Weiyi", and he will be the one to bear the consequences in the future.

Zuoqiu Hongting, spear in one hand, gracefully retreated dozens of feet, landing beside Li Weiyi. She gazed at Huo Xin and Zhen Xin opposite her. "These two are stronger than I anticipated. Forcing them into a corner and forcing them to use their trump cards is almost impossible. Perhaps we should stop here?"

Zuoqiu Hongting was unaware of Li Weiyi's true motives for killing Huo Xin, so she considered everything from the perspective of advantages and disadvantages.

Will the two of them give us a chance to back down?

Seeing that Zuoqiu Hongting was quite capable, Li Weiyi was completely relieved and released the Xihe Flower Array Lotus Platform. The Peach Wood Staff in his hand shone brightly under the stimulation of his mental power.

With the sacred tree in hand, the life force is boundless, and seaweed grows wildly in the water.

On the other side, Zhen Xin and Huo Xin were also communicating telepathically.

"Liu Fengshu has broken through to the Nine-Star Mind Master, which is already quite troublesome at the beginning of the realm. If he were to reach the peak of the realm, I might not be his match. Today, we must eliminate him." Huo Xin felt threatened and pressured.

Zhen Xin said, "That Jiu Li Hidden Person is even stranger. His mental power level seems to have reached the peak of Nine-Star Mind Master. When he used his mental power to attack my soul, my Battle Intent defense was almost penetrated."

"He must be carrying some extraordinary treasure, otherwise his mental cultivation wouldn't be so rapid. We must use all our strength to kill them both today, and not give them another chance to rise to power," the Huo Xin said.

Tang Zhan led the Sixteen Divine Snow Riders, all raising their spears in unison.

Instantly, sixteen riders formed a battle formation. From their sixteen suits of armor, thick black clouds surged forth, and a vast battle intent, like the clash of swords and the thunder of horses, soared straight into the sky.

A chill permeated the air.

Black snowflakes, resembling translucent charcoal dust, drifted down from the air.

All the martial artists present, those on the ship, those at sea, and all the creatures of various races throughout the Moon Dragon Island Sea Market, felt the extraordinary aura emanating from the Sixteen Divine Snow Riders.

Huo Xin and Zhen Xin both looked solemn. With their cultivation levels, they felt that it was not sixteen riders, but a thousand troops, capable of crushing all the strong in the world.

"Boom!"

A rolling, rumbling sound of thunder approached from afar.

The clear sky was covered by dark clouds, like ink-stained blue water flowing towards the top of the Horizon Ship.

"Leave the Sixteen Divine Snow Riders to me. Kill those two legendary-level mind masters. They're just too much of a hindrance."

From the clouds, a voice, resolute in tone and firm in will, resounded throughout the entire sea.

Then the dark clouds suddenly pressed down.

A hundred-meter-long lightning blade burst forth from the clouds, accompanied by a crackling sound as if the heavens and earth were being crushed, and slashed towards the Sixteen Divine Snow Riders.

Tang Zhan raised his spear.

A tall, dark figure rose from the battlefield, raising a spear to block the lightning-infused heavenly blade.

"Boom!"

The seawater beneath the Sixteen Divine Snow Riders suddenly sank, forming a bowl-shaped depression. The resulting giant wave shook the Horizon Ship, causing it to drift hundreds of meters away and rock incessantly.

Everyone saw a muscular figure, shirtless and with long, flowing hair, his muscles clearly defined, emerge from the cracked dark clouds. He charged towards the Sixteen Riders of Divine Blood, his body radiating a powerful fighting spirit, like a war god descending upon the mortal world.

He dared to face the Sixteen Divine Snow Riders alone.

This sheer audacity alone demonstrates how confident he is in his own abilities.

Li Weiyi scanned all directions, sensing the lurking dangers, and gained a profound understanding of the statement that "Dao Palace is more powerful than imagined."

The sword-wielding man charging towards the Sixteen Divine Snow Riders was not the most terrifying aspect; Si Wuyan of Sheng Wulian or death.

"Li Weiyi, you want revenge? I'll give you your chance today. Let's fight to the death. I just hope that the Longevity Realm Expert of the Lingxiao Shengjing won't interfere."

Before he could finish speaking his Zhen Xin, he had already lifted the blue gourd with one hand and strode towards Zuoqiu Hongting.

"Liu Fengshu, no matter your background, killing my Rice God Child is a capital offense. Today, I will fight you fairly, and life and death are in the hands of fate. Your protectors should not interfere."

The Huo Xin were quite clear. With talent reaching the level of Liu Fengshu, there must be protectors secretly guarding him.

To kill him, the strike must be swift, accurate, and ruthless.

They did not give the guardians a chance to rescue them.

"Hiss."

From his ancestral field surged forth fiery magical energy, no less powerful than Li Weiyi's three-colored Psychic Power Spiritual Light, igniting the water surface into a sea of fire.

The next instant, the Huo Xin burst forth from the sea of fire, appearing right in front of Li Weiyi, its speed exceeding the comprehension of Dao Seed Realm Martial Cultivator. Even faster than it was the red gourd.

The red gourd was a Thousand Character Artifact, as large as a palace, with magnificent power and as heavy as a celestial iron mountain. It descended from the sky and smashed into the Morning Sun True Spirit Formation supported by the Xihe Flower Array Lotus Platform.

Huo Xin is to plan carefully before acting.

The gourd broke through the formation first, and he followed closely behind, killing Li Weiyi with a single blow.

At this moment, his combat power reached its peak, and his body shone with a bright crimson light. Standing in the mirage several miles away, looking out from afar, he and the red gourd looked like two red suns setting, and countless people were worried for Liu Fengshu.

Tang Wanzhou placed his hand on the hilt of his sword.

The Hidden Lord and the previous Hidden Lord of the Jiu Li Hidden Gate appeared simultaneously on the beach, standing in front of the carriage driven by Hidden Eleven, watching intently.

It wasn't that they lacked confidence in Li Weiyi, but rather that they deeply understood the Huo Xin below the Longevity Realm. For Myriad Gate Families sects, such a peerless genius only appears once every few hundred or even a thousand years.

Like Lu Cangsheng, Tang Wanqiu, and others who have reached the Ninth Heaven.

"Whoosh!"

The magical talismans with the word "Xing" on the Xihe flower flashed and turned into golden streamers, moving sideways out from the encirclement of the red gourd and evil heart.

"What? His speed..."

Huo Xin was originally very confident in his speed, but the opponent's lotus platform instantly broke through the dual suppression of the magic weapon and his Dao Heart Manifestation, disappearing before his eyes.

Huo Xin displayed extraordinary combat experience. After his attack missed, he immediately turned around and struck the sky behind him with a palm.

As he expected, the golden lotus platform, carrying Formation Disk and Formation Script, fell from the sky.

If he reacts even slightly too slowly, he will lose the initiative and be left with only the option of fleeing and retreating, which will greatly diminish his momentum.

"Boom!"

The palm of the Huo Xin man flew out densely packed scriptures, and the palm print he struck was a kind of Daoist technique, like clouds supporting the sky or a volcanic eruption.

Instead of directly confronting the formation, he immediately dodged after his initial attack.

One figure split into seven or eight, swimming upwards.

"Bang!"

Li Weiyi thrust out his Peach Wood Staff at top speed, piercing through the afterimage of the Xihe Flower supported by the Huo Xin.

Having missed his target, Li Weiyi realized that his opponent was no ordinary foe, possessing top-tier combat intelligence and adaptability. He quickly formed a finger seal.

As Li Weiyi had predicted, the Huo Xin manipulated the red gourd, shattering a corner of the formation with a deafening roar.

The figure hidden behind the gourd flashed out.

He slapped Li Weiyi's head with his palm.

"Whoosh!"

Li Weiyi struck out with a single finger, as swift as a sword, hitting the palm of the opponent squarely.

Ripples of energy erupted from between his palms and fingers.

The red gourd and the rising sun within the formation also collided violently, supporting an expanding crimson sphere of light, with heat waves and gales emanating for miles.

"Boom!"

The two were sent flying backward, leaving waves of water behind them.

In the blink of an eye, the two shot towards each other with lightning speed, clashing at a speed that ordinary Dao Seed Realm Martial Cultivator could not even see. Every move was deadly, and the slightest carelessness would result in a tragic end.

A battle of strength against strength, a back-and-forth exchange.

All the spectators' attention was drawn to it.

"So fast, I can't even see it. If I encountered someone of this level, I wouldn't even know how I died." An Old Man at the Seventh Heaven of the Dao Seed Realm was severely shocked. He had never seen such a duel before, below the Longevity Realm.

Both the speed and the power give the impression of surpassing the Dao Seed Realm.

"Huo Xin is born with a pure Yang body, and his physical strength reaches the fifth level of Longevity Body, but why do I feel that Liu Fengshu's physical body is even stronger than his?"

"It's the Morning Sun True Spirit Formation."

Taishi Yu stared intently at the Formation Script surrounding the Xihe Flower, and finally confirmed that it was an array formation of the Taishi Family.

But why is the one set up by Liu Fengshu more powerful than the one set up by him?

Taishi Yu cursed Li Weiyi in his heart, for he had clearly promised him that he would never pass on the array diagram.

On the outskirts of the battlefield, Qiong Ji Daozi's gaze was deep and thoughtful, glancing between Li Weiyi and Liu Fengshu. These two formidable enemies had actually come together, and their combat power had both reached a higher level.

Qiong Ji Daozi summoned the Tian Ji Sword from between his brows and slowly moved toward the battlefield.

If an opportunity arises, one must strike and kill it immediately.

"Deal with Liu Fengshu first. He's extremely bloodthirsty and has no scruples, making him even more dangerous than Li Weiyi. At least Li Weiyi has to consider the interests of the Jiu Li Tribe and is bound by the rules when doing things."

Kongxu appeared beside Qiong Ji Daozi, with three swords flying around him.

Standing behind him was Huangxu, whom he had refined into a soul servant.

On the sea, one unfamiliar figure after another flew by.

They came from the Dao Palace, and there was no tension or pressure on them. They were all smiling and calm as they commented on the people clashing.

Some were tall and imposing, wielding five-meter- Giant Sword. Others were graceful and beautiful, with captivating charm. Still others sat cross-legged on the back of a giant tortoise with a dragon's head, their bodies enveloped in the power of light.

On the sixth floor of the Horizon Ship, a Longevity Realm Giants frowned. "Many formidable figures from the younger generation of the Dao Palace have appeared! If they all attack together, we definitely can't stop them."

"Don't worry! First of all, Dao Palace only wants to force us to compromise, not to start a full-scale war. As long as news of the Mist Son of Heaven's demise hasn't reached us, the old guys behind the Dao Palace will definitely be cautious and won't dare to act recklessly. The blood of the transcendent beings in the Cloud Heaven Immortal Plain and the Western Territory hasn't dried up yet."

"Secondly, if the conflict among the younger generation truly escalates to that point, the Du'e Temple will definitely intervene. They need the Lingxiao Shengjing Human Race to help them fight against the Dao Palace and the Demon Race."

Tang Wanzhou remained calm, having a clear understanding of the situation, and his gaze fell upon the Chang Yujian on the fifth floor of the ship.

In a very short time, Li Weiyi and Huo Xin exchanged over a hundred blows.

Peach Wood Staff supports the Pan Peach tree.

Above the Xihe Flower Formation Disk, the morning sun shines eternally, radiating boundless brilliance and boundless wonder, completely unafraid of the red gourd's attack.

"Blazing Divine Flame, a thousand miles of beacon fires."

The Huo Xin unleashed its strongest Daoist technique, igniting all seven orifices, and divine flames surged from its ancestral field, with Mars flying everywhere.

He was only at the beginner level of the fourth level of the Major Technique, but when he unleashed it, it burned the light and shadow of the Pan Peach tree to ashes with overwhelming force, surging towards Li Weiyi standing on the lotus platform.

Li Weiyi dared not take the attack head-on, and immediately retreated to avoid it. Then, he rode the lotus platform and soared into the sky.

"Still trying to leave?"

Qiong Ji Daozi could see that the Formation Script on the lotus platform had been destroyed by the Blazing Divine Flame, and even large sections of Li Weiyi's robes had turned to ashes. Clearly, he was injured.

The fourth level of the Major Technique is an unsolvable power below the Longevity Realm.

"Clang!"

Qiong Ji Daozi waved his arm, and the Tian Ji Sword out.

One sword transforms into ten thousand swords, and the ten thousand swords rain down, instantly catching up with Li Weiyi in mid-air.
