Killing Intent Lurking on All Sides

Li Weiyi was secretly disappointed, but she could understand. If Bai Chuan hadn't cultivated the fifth level of an Emperor-level technique, how could he have become the number one person in the Sword Dao Imperial Court?

If Bai Chuan were to unleash this move himself, its power would undoubtedly be even more terrifying.

The clash of Daoist techniques just now amazed all the cultivators present, giving them a new understanding of Li Weiyi and Jingzhen, and making them realize the gap between them.

A dozen miles away, a carriage drawn by phoenixes stopped on a high slope covered with wheat grass.

The carriage curtains fluttered in the wind.

The figure sitting inside the car had a pair of bright, star-like eyes gazing at the distant, gloomy, ghostly mist. Then, his gaze fell on the woman shrouded in Radiant Mist, with Seven Phoenix Wing Moth Emperors flying around her, like a flower fairy dancing with butterflies, forming a combined attack formation.

"Boom!"

"Boom!"

That golden giant skeleton ran like an earthquake, its body hundreds of meters tall, and countless heavy axes came crashing down.

The intelligence reports of Dongxu Camp contain information about it.

He is stronger than the Four-eared Ghost Monkey Marquis and is a powerful spirit on par with the Jade Corpse Marquis.

Li Weiyi immediately dodged and appeared dozens of feet away. At the same time, he caught sight of the Jingzhen and anticipated the next attack from the Golden Giant Skeleton, and then he heard the sound of wind behind him.

Huangfu Song arrived with his spear, his entire body enveloped in magical energy and Longevity Scriptures. Then, he thrust his spear through the air.

The gun was fired and the air exploded.

Its speed and power are both incredibly formidable.

This is the battle prowess of the most talented among the Twelve Taiyin Envoys, who has reached the Peak Third Realm.

Of course, in Li Weiyi's view, Huangfu Song was still inferior to Luo Yinji and could only be considered the second best among the Taiyin Envoy.

Amidst the chirping of cicadas, Li Weiyi moved like a phantom, dodging the spear and slashing back with his sword, sending Huangfu Song flying.

The boundary bag opened, releasing four transcendent Battle Corpse Puppet dug from the burial ground, which then stood in four different positions.

The next moment, he retrieved the Staff Spear of All Things was flying in mid-air.

They raised their spears overhead, drawing in the moonlight of time, to form Combined Battle Formation.

The four war corpses moved swiftly, causing the battle formation to rotate, colliding with Jingzhen, who was wielding two flags and riding two Formation Disk.

"Bang!"

The Jingzhen's body went out of control, flying backward, with signs of its soul separating from its physical body.

He crashed to the ground, staggering back three steps, his internal energy surging uncontrollably. Looking closely, he saw the Golden Giant Skeleton, wielding its axe to block Li Weiyi's advance, preventing him from pressing his advantage.

Then he looked at Nangong.

Just now, Nangong seized the opportunity and used a spell to almost strip away his true form. Nangong himself entered the Dongxu Camp as a spellcaster.

"Dao Tian Divine Shadow"

Huangfu Song unleashed the fifth level of his Daoist technique, his golden robes melting into a golden liquid lake, and a towering, spear-wielding divine figure rose behind him.

"Splash!"

The spear was swung out, like a golden Celestial Pillar collapsing.

Li Weiyi's eyes flashed with cold light as he unleashed the Purple Sky Lei Seal and the Golden Sky Lei Seal simultaneously, striking the encircling Jingzhen and the Golden Giant Skeleton respectively.

"There's another Myriad-character Artifact?"

A surprised voice came from Jingzhen.

Li Weiyi's figure shot backward, having already withdrawn from the four transcendent battle corpses, and he suddenly turned around.

He narrowly escaped, brushing against the golden spear in Dao Tian Shen Ying's hand, and thrust his sword straight at Huangfu Song's true form.

"Good timing!"

Huangfu Song stood in mid-air, his tiger-like eyes blazing. He could see that Li Weiyi had used two Myriad-character Artifacts, severely depleting his magical energy and leaving him in his weakest state. Therefore, instead of dodging or escaping, he intended to seize this opportunity to deliver a fatal blow.

The spear trembled and lashed out horizontally like a whip.

Instead of dodging as he expected, Li Weiyi threw away his sword and spear, freeing his hands to simultaneously use his Spirit Treasure Seizing.

They neutralized the spear's power and seized it with all ten fingers.

"Court death."

Huangfu Song did not believe that anyone of the same cultivation level could catch his full-force magical spear barehanded.

But, the next moment.

He believed it!

Li Weiyi gripped the spear with both hands, taking advantage of Huangfu Song's dodge of the Yellow Dragon Sword he threw.

He raised his hand, then lowered it, and slapped it onto the gun barrel.

This palm strike caused the dragon spirit to explode, creating Shockwave Ripples.

"You..."

Huangfu Song's hands were numb with pain, and by the time he realized what was happening, the spear had already left his grasp. Then, the spear whistled back and landed heavily on him.

"Puff!"

Without the protection of his golden battle armor, Huangfu Song was struck by the spear shaft, causing the left half of his body to collapse, breaking seven or eight bones, and his body flew off at an angle.

"Pfft!"

Before Huangfu Song could land, Li Weiyi pierced his heart with a single spear thrust, pinning him to the ground.

The wound near the heart was wide open, almost tearing the upper body to pieces.

Huangfu Song lay on his back on the ground, his eyes still wide with terror.

With just three moves, he ruthlessly killed this rising star of the Taiyin Sect, giving Jingzhen and the others no time to rescue him.

Li Weiyi's ten fingers were bleeding and his arms were cracked, but he ignored the pain and caught the Yellow Dragon Sword and the Staff Spear of All Things that flew back.

"Li Weiyi, you really have impressed me!"

Jingzhen was furious. He channeled his inner energy into the Purple Sky Lei Seal, intending to take it in.

After the Golden Giant Skeleton blocked the Golden Sky Lei Seal, it spat out bone fire that struck four transcendent Battle Corpse Puppet, sending them flying. It then used the flames to erase the Puppet Script on their bodies.

In terms of intelligence, the Golden Giant Skeleton is no less than any human being.

Undeterred by the flames, Li Weiyi faced the bone fire head-on. After collecting the four transcendent corpses into the Evil Camel Bell, he leaped into the abdominal cavity of the Golden Giant Skeleton with a whoosh.

For the Golden Giant Skeleton, its greatest advantage lies in its domineering power. Under the Great Longevity, no one dares to confront it head-on.

Its greatest weakness is that its body is too large to shrink. Once someone dares to enter the gaps in its bones, despite its protective bone fire and protective scriptures, they can deliver a fatal blow.

Previously, with Huangfu Song holding him back, Li Weiyi had never had a chance.

Realizing this, Jingzhen had no choice but to abandon her attempt to collect the Purple Sky Lei Seal and unleashed a river of Sword Qi towards Li Weiyi.

On the other side, Nangong, relying on Combined Attack Formation, resisted the attacks of Huo Tianming and several Ghost Marquises, but was completely shrouded in thick clouds of Ghost Qi.

Li Weiyi withdrew the Purple Gold Twin Seals and clashed head-on with Jingzhen, his body falling backward to the ground. Then, he turned and charged towards the Ghost Qi cloud of mist, roaring, "Huo Tianming, prepare to die!"

"Stop him."

Jingzhen and Golden Giant Skeleton follow closely behind.

"Damn it, don't think you can scare me just because you killed Huangfu Song."

Huo Tianming unleashed the fifth level of Daoist technique, "Cloud Sea Wind Sweeping Palm," where hundreds of thousands of Longevity Scriptures and magical energy intertwined to form a hurricane, striking out with a single palm to intercept the oncoming Li Weiyi.

"Puff!"

Li Weiyi's sword pierced through the sea of clouds and the palm wind, slightly reducing his speed, but he was still moving swiftly.

The second sword strike landed on Huo Tianming, sending him flying diagonally, blood splattering out, his arm flying into the air.

Huo Tianming fell to the ground with a thud, cursing Li Weiyi for being too ruthless. But he also knew that Li Weiyi's sword strike had to be ruthless, and not ruthless enough.

Because his earlier warning, if carefully considered, would inevitably arouse suspicion.

Huo Tianming secretly rubbed his Qi Sea again, coughing up a mouthful of blood. "How terrifying... Li Weiyi..."

The palm wind from the Cloud Sea Wind Sweeping Palm had some effect on the Jingzhen and the Golden Giant Skeleton that were chasing behind.

Ahead, Li Weiyi appeared in Four-colored Spiritual Light armor, and with two swords slashing out from the air, one to the left and one to the right, the Sword Qi tore through the sky, and with its domineering force, completely dissipated the Ghost Qi mist that shrouded Nangong.

A scream rang out as two Ghost Lords at the third realm were cleaved in two by the Sword Qi of the Yellow Dragon Sword, their ghostly bodies damaged and burning as they fled into the distance.

"Walk!"

Li Weiyi put away the Seven Phoenix Wing Moth Emperors, took Nangong's hand, activated the Provincial Governor's Official Robe, and disappeared into the Purple Mist Light Cluster.

Without Huangfu Song, Huo Tianming, and the two Ghost Marquises, it has become extremely difficult to affect his spatial teleportation through battle tactics Intent Attack.

"He can't escape, chase him!"

The Jingzhen released its intent, locking onto Li Weiyi, and chased after him together with the Golden Giant Skeleton.

The previous failure can be attributed to Mo Duanfeng, and Qingzao was also blamed.

If Li Weiyi is allowed to escape again this time, not only will he be able to accept his own incompetence, but Chu Yutian will also definitely have something to say about it.

The wind howled on the cliff, and the smell of blood was strong.

The earth was shattered, with scorched soil from lightning strikes, fissures from Sword Qi strikes, and large footprints.

Chu Yutian arrived with the wind, as if appearing out of thin air.

He walked to Huangfu Song's corpse, stared calmly at the spear stuck in his heart, and pulled it out. Then, he looked at Huo Tianming, who was crawling on the ground like a dog, searching for his arm.

Huo Tianming, his face deathly pale, clutched his arms and slumped in a crater left by a magical artifact. His voice, hoarse from a lung injury, sounded like a broken bellows, "True disciple, kill Li Weiyi! You must kill him, or... we'll all die in the Ancient Kingdom of the Years Ruin..."

"He needs to recover well; he's far from being in that condition."

Chu Yutian's figure had vanished.

Even with Huo Tianming's cultivation level, he couldn't see how he left at all; his speed far surpassed that of Li Weiyi and Jingzhen.

Whether activating the Myriad-character Artifact or using the spatial teleportation technique of the Provincial Governor's Official Robe, both will severely deplete magical energy.

Li Weiyi, with Divine Speed Talisman affixed to his body, grabbed Nangong and flew across the boundless wilderness.

"Actually, the dark power of the Netherworld of the Departed near Chun City has been purified by time by about 70-80%. As long as one doesn't Breathing and Exhaling for extended periods, the impact on one's mind and martial arts isn't that significant."

Nangong used Breathing Technique to absorb the Heaven and Earth Mana Qi, determined to restore his martial arts combat power at all costs.

Clearly, she sensed the ambush from all sides, knew the determination of all forces to capture her and kill Li Weiyi, and an invisible killing intent permeated the air.

Li Weiyi asked, "If the Ancient Years Clan hears the distress whistle, will they intervene?"

"I don't know if any of them heard... Li Weiyi, the Ancient Years Clan is no longer in Chun City." Nangong said this in a frank tone, with a hint of bitterness in his voice.

Li Weiyi asked, "Then why are you in such a hurry to return to Chun City?"

"Something big has happened at the border. I'll let you know. The Four-eared Ghost Monkey Marquis has come out of Chun City. Let's go, circle around to the east." Nangong looked ahead, his eyes filled with solemnity and worry.

Thick ghostly fog rolled over the mountain pass, concealing endless killing intent.

Heading east, traveling two hundred li, one can enter the underworld.

Thus, by utilizing the influence of the Netherworld Qi on the martial artist's perception, one can evade powerful enemies and escape more easily.

"No, this time we won't go east!"

Li Weiyi thought of how Luo Yinji always predicted his thoughts, and he always felt that she was waiting outside the Netherworld. So, he pulled Nangong and headed west.

(The chapter I owe will have to wait a day or two; I haven't adjusted my sleep schedule yet. Sigh...)
