Red Silk
Zuoqiu Hongting's array formation skills were profound. She used Formation Script, Formation Disk, and star trails to trap Zhenxin Zhen Xin until Li Weiyi turned into a golden light and disappeared on the sea surface. Only then did she stop and retreat, standing below the Horizon Ship.
"Li Weiyi, you also bear some responsibility for this bloodshed today."
Zhen Xin, who was usually calm and collected, was now furious and wanted nothing more than to wreak havoc on the world.
The Huo Xin head was enormous, floating conspicuously on the sea.
Such prodigies hold a status even higher than ordinary Longevity Realm Giants. The fall of even one of them would be a significant loss, even for an ancient sect.
Zhen Xin cast a chilling glance at Zuoqiu Hongting, then rode the blue gourd and chased after Li Weiyi in the direction she had fled.
Zuoqiu Hongting's eyes were serious, her thoughts racing. Caught off guard by this sudden turn of events, she had never imagined that her Huo Xin would be extinguished.
"What's going on? Who exactly is Liu Fengshu?"
Many powerful elders from the Lingxiao Shengjing gathered around, mistaking Zuoqiu Hongting for Li Weiyi, and inquired about the reason, finding it too unbelievable.
First of all, for a master of the level of 'Huo Xin' who cultivates escape techniques, if they are determined to flee, ordinary Longevity Realm Expert would most likely return empty-handed in pursuit.
Secondly, Dao Palace must have given him a protective artifact to deal with the Longevity Realm Giants.
Third, why did Liu Fengshu want to kill the Huo Xin?
Having Huo Xin to kill will bring a hundred harms and not a single benefit.
Faced with everyone's questions, Zuoqiu Hongting remained silent, pondering why Li Weiyi had made such a big fuss.
Tang Wanzhou appeared, his back ramrod straight, his neck long and slender, and declared loudly, "Well done! If their Huo Xin haven't died down, the next ones to provoke us might be the East Sea Demon Race and the Western Demon Race. Now, they'll probably think twice before acting. Whoever Liu Fengshu is, since he helped our Lingxiao Shengjing, he's our friend, and we must help him escape."
Tang Wanzhou transmitted his voice to Tang Zhan.
A moment later, Tang Zhan led ten senior experts from the Lingxiao Shengjing and chased after the direction Li Weiyi had left in.
Zuoqiu Hongting stared intently at Tang Wanzhou on the ship, realizing that this woman likely knew Liu Fengshu's true identity. Otherwise, why would she have gone to such lengths to help?
With Tang Wanzhou's intelligence, he must have been able to guess her true identity as the fake Li Weiyi.
"Could it be... that he's so obsessed with Huo Xin in order to help Tang Wanzhou break out of this predicament?"
The moment Zuoqiu Hongting considered this possibility, she was furious. Grabbing her Staff Spear of All Things, she chased after the deep sea.
If you can tolerate all of this!
She, as his Fiancée, truly needs to be incredibly patient and forbearing.
Tang Wanzhou stared at Zuoqiu Hongting's retreating figure, his eyes shimmering, a smile playing on his lips, "Her mental power and martial arts are both so outstanding, truly rare in this world. It's a pity she was born ten years too late. Otherwise, she would definitely be a formidable opponent."
Yu'er stood by the railing on the fifth floor of the ship, watching helplessly as Li Weiyi disappeared into the horizon. "Master has abandoned me again!"
Yao Yin stroked her head and smiled, "Don't worry, your master is very clever. He dared to kill Huo Xin, which means he's absolutely not afraid of the consequences. From now on, you just stay with me obediently, and I'll protect you."
"Sister, your eyes look so much like our grandmaster's, they're practically identical." Yu'er couldn't see Yao Yin's face beneath her veil, only her eyebrows and eyes.
Yao Yin was slightly taken aback. "Grandmaster?"
"She's Master's Master. She also often wears a veil, just like you. What's your relationship with her?" Yu'er asked innocently and earnestly.
Xihe Flower Terrace moved at an incredible speed, like a golden meteor, flying at a height of hundreds of feet above the sea.
"Splash!"
A vibrant Hong Ling bursts forth from the azure sea.
The silk gauze was three zhang wide, extending more than a thousand meters, reaching straight into the sky and connecting the sea and the heavens.
Li Weiyi sensed danger, stared at the sea, and a burst of spiritual light erupted from his brow.
He swung his Peach Wood Staff, unleashing a waterfall of three-colored spiritual light that cascaded downwards towards Hong Ling.
"Bang!"
The Hong Ling is an extraordinary magical artifact. Each thread is crafted from the bloodline and Trace Meridians of Transcendent Beast, as fine as spider silk and as thin as cicada gauze. It struck the waterfall of spiritual light, causing it to explode and crash heavily onto the Xihe Flower Platform.
The lotus platform shattered, and all the petals turned to dust.
Like golden raindrops falling onto the sea.
Li Weiyi, carrying the corpse of Huo Xin, soared into the air like a divine eagle spreading its wings, avoiding the Hong Ling.
He looked down, a look of surprise in his eyes.
"What kind of magical artifact is this?"
The Formation Script on Xihe Flower Platform were obliterated by the red gourd and the Blazing Divine Flame during their clash with the Huo Xin, so it's normal that they couldn't withstand the attack from the Hong Ling.
But even his slashing out with a waterfall of spiritual light couldn't stop it, which was rather frightening.
After Hong Ling shattered Xihe Flower platform, she was exhausted.
Like a red, harmless veil floating in mid-air, it gives a sense of unreal beauty.
"Whoosh."
Below the Hong Ling, a second wave of attacks swept in.
Strands of pure magical energy condensed into the shape of red flying birds, spiraling upwards along the Hong Ling.
Li Weiyi was well aware of the consequences of being held back here, so he had no desire to fight and threw his Huo Xin into his bag. He used his movement technique, stepping on the void, to escape the spiral circle formed by the Hong Ling.
He took out a Divine Speed Talisman with two fingers and stuck it to his chest.
"Bang!"
A sound like air exploding came from behind me.
It was the Hong Ling that lashed out, causing the sky, which spanned a hundred feet in diameter, to tremble violently.
Li Weiyi was shaken by the force of the energy chasing from behind, losing her balance and falling towards the sea. The Hong Ling seemed to have a life of its own, chasing closely behind, the wind rustling the ribbon close to her ear.
It's like a red ghost, impossible to get rid of.
What makes Li Weiyi feel even more dangerous is that, so far, she has neither seen nor sensed the whereabouts of the owner of the Hong Ling.
This is so weird!
The opponent was actually able to bypass his psychic perception as Eight-Star Mind Master.
Could he be Longevity Realm Expert?
If he hadn't known that Tang Wanzhou and the Jiu Li Hidden Gate would definitely help him block the Longevity Realm Rice Man, Li Weiyi would have already activated the Dragon Head Camel Cloak and fled for his life at top speed.
"Whoosh!"
The Divine Speed Talisman's Talisman Light spread out, enveloping Li Weiyi's entire body.
In that instant, he sensed the enemy.
The enemy emerged from the Hong Ling, flying horizontally and hovering above his head behind him. She was slender with long legs, like a celestial maiden in a dance.
Their movement speed is extremely fast.
She transformed into more than ten alluring and beautiful figures, blocking Li Weiyi's escape routes in all directions.
Laughter echoed from all directions.
The sound was mesmerizing, attacking Li Weiyi's soul consciousness.
"Those!"
Li Weiyi uttered an Ancient Script, which cleared his mind and dispelled evil. Instantly, all the distracting thoughts in his mind vanished, and his eyes regained their Qingming.
But what appeared before them was a stunningly beautiful figure with a terrifying skull face right in front of them. The bony face and the translucent skin of her neck formed a stark contrast.
Any man who comes into close contact with this bluish-gray, ossified face will inevitably feel a chill run down his spine and lose his composure.
Li Weiyi's eyes flashed, and he immediately dodged.
"Sizzle!"
Wu Hongling's crystal-clear fingernails pierced the skin of his temple, leaving a thin, long bloody mark.
If you slow down even a fraction of a second, the Glabella Spiritual Realm will be pierced.
Extremely thrilling.
"They actually avoided it!"
Wu Hongling was slightly surprised and murmured softly. Then, with her two slender jade arms, she deflected Li Weiyi's staff with the most leisurely and beautiful posture.
Her jade-like fingers, like blooming orchids, touched the staff, creating a sticky force that seemed to want to snatch it away.
A thin Hong Ling veil enveloped the two of them, preventing Li Weiyi from escaping using the Divine Speed Talisman.
Li Weiyi's body was pulled towards her uncontrollably, and even with all his physical strength, he was unable to resist.
The other party is as gentle as silk.
Any powerful force that falls upon her will be easily deflected and disappear without a trace.
Such martial arts skill is clearly a level far superior to his.
"Bang! Bang..."
Li Weiyi steadied himself and threw punches and palm strikes with great force, but he couldn't even touch the hem of Wu Hongling's clothes. Every strike hit the air.
"Your Divine Speed Talisman is quite good, but it can only be used for traveling; it's the most inflexible way to achieve speed. In close-quarters combat, you're still far from adequate."
The sound of the Wu Hongling was faint and indistinct, sometimes near, sometimes far.
At its furthest, it felt like the edge of the sky. At its closest, Li Weiyi could even feel her breath on her ear.
"You're capable of killing Huo Xin, so your strength must be more than this. Let me see what your true abilities are."
As soon as the words were spoken, the Hong Ling surrounding them suddenly contracted inward.
Li Weiyi knew very well that the other party must also be inside the space within the Hong Ling. If it contracted like this, wouldn't she also be trapped inside?
It cannot be fathomed by common sense; the opponent's Daoist arts are too profound.
"You're pretty good."
Li Weiyi left those words behind, activated his Provincial Governor's Official Robe, and escaped from the rapidly shrinking Hong Ling cage, disappearing several miles away.
Just as Li Weiyi landed on the sea surface, before she could even breathe a sigh of relief, the Hong Ling wrapped around her again.
"How is that possible? Traction technique?"
Li Weiyi once again activated his Provincial Governor's Official Robe and fled several miles away.
As expected, the Hong Ling remained hovering above his head, impossible to shake off, and was able to catch up with him with incredible speed and precision.
Fortunately, Wu Hongling's true form was not so extraordinary, and she had already distanced herself from Wu Hongling by seven or eight miles.
"Rustle."
A light rain fell from the sea.
Another invisible force enveloped Li Weiyi.
Qiong Ji Daozi flew close to the sea surface on his sword. "Liu Fengshu is wearing Provincial Governor's Official Robe made by Mist Son of Heaven; it must have been given to him by Li Weiyi."
Li Weiyi's sense of crisis increased exponentially. In an already unfavorable situation, having another enemy meant more than just a slight increase in danger.
Enveloped in the Talisman Light of the Divine Speed Talisman, he unleashed his ultimate speed. At the same time, he activated his official robes and used spatial teleportation, wanting only to escape the range of the Dao Heart Manifestation of the two people behind him as quickly as possible.
Otherwise, the number of enemies will only increase.
Qiong Ji Daozi, who was chasing behind, drew his bow and shot arrow after arrow to harass them.
"Swish! Swish..."
The arrow flew for ten miles, and the roar on the sea was incessant.
The woman with a bluish-gray skull face used a water escape technique. Every time Li Weiyi was about to escape her Dao Heart Manifestation, she would be caught up again.
Two pursuers chased one fleeing, a pursuit that lasted from afternoon until evening.
The three traveled at top speed across more than two thousand miles of sea, arriving at an unknown deep-sea area.
The seawater was dark and turbulent.
After repeatedly activating the Provincial Governor's Official Robe, Li Weiyi's magical energy was greatly depleted, leaving him completely exhausted.
Wu Hongling and Qiong Ji Daozi were in no better shape. Their ranged attacks and water-based escape techniques also consumed a great deal of their magical energy. They never expected that Liu Fengshu could escape so easily and endure so long.
After another two or three hundred miles of pursuit, a faint golden light shimmered on the black seawater.
At first, the three of them didn't pay much attention, thinking it was just the afterglow of the setting sun.
Until wisps of golden flames rose from the seawater.
"Wait... what is this?"
Li Weiyi sensed danger and immediately took to the air.
