One Against a Crowd
"Whoosh!"
Numerous Formation Script appeared on the walls, floors, roofs, stairs, and other parts of the study building.
The thirty-three schools in the Saints Learning Sea are all of the Mega-clan or nearly Mega-clan.
All thirty-three Head Scholar are true inheritors of the Mega-clan.
Those who dare to climb to the third floor are all powerful cultivators in the Longevity Realm who are extremely confident in their own strength.
One of them clenched his fist, and a small spatial vortex appeared around his five fingers. Another person stood with his back against the wall, his nine-colored pupils looking at Li Weiyi's back through the window lattice. The Head Scholar standing at the top of the stairs stood calmly, and the world around him became ethereal.
A group of heroes gathered, all eager to assess the strength of the Southern Dragon.
Most of them stopped in the corridor.
The six people who dared to enter the small hall where Li Weiyi was were all top Head Scholar, at least in the middle stage of the Fourth Realm, with top transcendent teachers behind them, and half of them were Young Son of Heaven in the Dao Seed Realm.
The six men were renowned throughout the land for their mastery of the Saints Learning Sea. If they were to surround and trap a Son of Heaven's Disciple in an open area, they could easily kill him if they joined forces.
Now.
Of all the cultivators from the Hundred Schools of the Saints Learning Sea, only a small number gathered at the study hall, yet they had already surrounded it in layers upon layers.
More than twenty Holy Saint Mind Master stood below the temple, each with a radiant light emanating from between their brows, their runes and Formation Script enveloping the heavens and earth, imprisoning all directions.
"Li Weiyi, you are too arrogant! What grudge do you have against Meng Hualong and Fu Wenyan? Just because you want to seize the Longevity Flower, you are so ruthless as to kill them?"
Ye Tianchen responded in this way, deliberately omitting the attack on Night Demon City, in order to incite a sense of shared hatred among the experts of the Saints Learning Sea.
He had fought Li Weiyi before and knew how formidable the boy was, so his magical energy circulated continuously around him.
The defensive scriptures on his Confucian robes lit up, twinkling like stars, showing that he would not underestimate his enemy despite having a numerical advantage.
Uncle Chu Fang, possessing the cultivation of the Peak Third Realm and the Golden Pure Immortal Body of the first level of the Seven-level Pagoda, stood downstairs and shouted, "He and Mo Duanfeng are clearly here to cause trouble and disrupt the gathering of the Hundred Schools. They are blatantly showing contempt for all cultivators of the Saints Learning Sea. They must pay a terrible price, have their limbs broken, be stripped naked, have their hair shaved, and be thrown out of Meng Qingyuan. Otherwise, the disciples of the Hundred Schools of the Academy will be ridiculed by the world!"
The cultivators in Meng Qingyuan cheered in unison, drowning out the roar of battle coming from Mirror Lake.
The crowd below parted to make way for Qing Xiang.
Holding the Myriad-character Artifact "Pot of Heaven Ink Sea," Qing Xiang stood in front of the twenty-odd Saint Mind Master, looked up at the third-floor window, and smiled slightly, "It is not the proper way to treat guests with weapons. Put away your offensive magical artifacts and spar with Southern Dragon using fists, feet, and Daoist techniques."
"Miss Qing, isn't it inappropriate for us to tie our own hands?" Uncle Chu Fang said.
Qing Xiang smiled and said, "We'll use it when Southern Dragon uses his magic weapon."
Li Weiyi secretly admired her; this woman was indeed exceptionally intelligent.
Once magical artifacts and weapons are used, much of the killing becomes uncontrollable. Whether Saints Learning Sea kills him or he kills a large number of the Saints Learning Sea's cultivators, it's a situation Qing Xiang doesn't want to see.
Li Weiyi also hoped for this. Although he had the Myriad-character Artifact, the others in the Saints Learning Sea might not have it either, and they could work together to unleash even greater power from the Myriad-character Artifact.
Furthermore, with Cheng Dun present at Meng Qingyuan, he would never be allowed to go on a killing spree with his sword.
"Since Miss Qing Xiang has such kind intentions, I, Li, naturally do not mind playing the role of a scholar and temporarily concealing my weapons."
As soon as he finished speaking, Li Weiyi abruptly turned around and sat down.
"Whoosh!"
The Immortal Mist Pure Radiance and the Longevity Scriptures surged from the ancestral field, enveloping the entire body and condensing into the divine shadow of "Dao Cultivation Transformation" to protect the body.
The attention, spirit, and perception of the six people behind them were all at their peak. The six streams of magical energy intertwined, and none of them dared to be careless when they were close to a powerhouse of Li Weiyi's caliber.
Li Weiyi moved, and the six of them moved in unison.
As six streams of magical energy surged forth, six different Daoist techniques were unleashed.
The three men, like three streaks of light, spread out in three directions, grabbing Li Weiyi's arms, legs, and neck respectively, determined to make him unable to defend himself.
The two strongest fighters clenched their fists, which then ignited and transformed into two bright shooting stars, hurtling straight towards Li Weiyi's chest. Their fists shifted in direction according to the changes in Li Weiyi's surrounding energy, giving him no chance to dodge.
The last person used a shrinking technique, transforming into a three-inch-tall humanoid beam of light, leaping across walls and rooftops, and then falling like a divine sword.
The six were determined to severely injure Li Weiyi to the point of incapacitation in the first round.
The three Fourth Realm Head Scholar, wielding grappling techniques with fingers as sharp as swords, combined their strength to pierce through the Dao Cultivation Transformation Divine Shadow. But to their horror, they discovered that this divine shadow on Li Weiyi not only protected her body but also possessed an energy field that distorted space itself.
Their ten fingers pierced through, seemingly about to grab Li Weiyi's arms, legs, and neck, but all their efforts failed.
"Boom!"
Li Weiyi unleashed both palms simultaneously, his unstoppable force sending the two Fourth Realm Head Scholar flying backward as they charged at him.
One flew out of the door, and the other crashed into the wall.
With a "whoosh," a three-inch-tall humanoid sword light descended from the sky, narrowly missing Li Weiyi's back before crashing to the ground.
The moment it landed, the humanoid sword light shot up.
The blow was aimed at Li Weiyi blind spot, his right calf.
Li Weiyi moved with the Clear Void Cicada Evasion Step, darting about like wisps of smoke, giving him no chance to get close and attack.
While the six top Head Scholar of the Saints Learning Sea were indeed powerful, the hall was cramped, and the six of them were crammed together. Their magical energy, Longevity Scriptures, and Daoist techniques collided and canceled each other out, making it impossible for them to use their full potential.
Li Weiyi's Dao Cultivation Transformation been enhanced, making him extremely suitable for close combat.
Li Weiyi did not rush to the outer corridor, which was filled with powerful individuals at the level of immortals.
Instead, they left and returned to the hall.
With a single palm strike, Overturning Sky Palm Seal was unleashed, the force of which enveloped the three masters who had previously used grappling techniques.
"Good timing!"
The three masters stood in a triangular formation, each displaying their signature skills: the "Saint's Palm Seal," the "Dragon Soul Battle Technique," and the "Five Seas Hundred Swords Divine Light."
"Boom!"
The entire building shook violently, and the halls were filled with a boiling atmosphere.
The three of them worked together to shatter the light and shadow of the Overturning Sky Palm Seal.
However, the Head Scholar standing at the very front, who was wielding the Saint's Palm Seal, clashed head-on with Li Weiyi's palm. Instantly, an overwhelming force pressed down, and the bones in his arm cracked.
"Puff!"
The Head Scholar, who had reached the Fourth Realm of cultivation, coughed up blood and fell out of the window, crashing into the array of lights and runes outside.
The group of Saint Mind Master below looked on with alarm, fearing they might accidentally injure someone, and immediately dispersed the array light and runes to create an opening.
The Fourth Realm Head Scholar fell to the ground, his arm throbbing with excruciating pain, and immediately retreated into the crowd to heal his wounds.
Inside the upper hall.
The figure, now only three inches tall, seized the perfect opportunity when Li Weiyi struck the three men with all his might, leaving his back wide open. With a finger like a sword, it pierced towards Li Weiyi's central spring in his back.
It was unavoidable.
Sensing the dangerous force approaching from behind, Li Weiyi's magical robes, including his Provincial Governor's Official Robe, and defensive scriptures all surfaced, allowing him to withstand the attack.
"Bang!"
The two who had just used the "Dragon Soul Battle Technique" and the "Five Seas Hundred Swords Divine Light" rushed forward with lightning speed, attacking head-on, but were blocked by Li Weiyi's arms.
Behind them, the two strongest fighters, who had been sent flying, returned like swallows flying back to their nest, each unleashing a palm strike that landed on Li Weiyi.
His Dao Cultivation Transformation a divine shadow, bursting open like a bubble.
He withstood five blows in a row.
"Sizzle!"
Countless bolts of lightning surged forth from Li Weiyi's netherworld, growing ever brighter.
The entire room was filled with lightning.
The five Fourth Realm Head Scholar immediately showed expressions of pain, struggling to withstand the attack.
Li Weiyi shifted his stance, his body spinning. The lightning bolts transformed into streaks of sword light, spinning and slashing at the five people, sending them all flying.
After someone is thrown out, they can land quickly and regain their footing.
Some people crashed directly into the wall and fell sideways to the ground.
They gave Li Weiyi no time to breathe.
Three senior Head Scholar rushed to fill in the gaps in the corridor, unleashing their long-prepared Daoist techniques. Several others condensed chains of magical energy, which extended along the corridor and flew into the hall.
Li Weiyi released his magical energy, which swept up Ye Tianchen and another Head Scholar were lying on the ground below the wall.
Throw one of them out first.
Then, Li Weiyi grabbed Ye Tianchen's wrist, rushed out of the window, and jumped down.
I just jumped.
"Bang!"
The windows on the third floor were shattered by the Daoist magic unleashed by the three masters, and even the Defensive Formation couldn't withstand it.
Even a slight delay will result in severe damage.
Qing Xiang, anticipating that Li Weiyi would jump out of the window, handed the Pot of Heaven Ink Sea in her hand to a Saint Mind Master of the Fourth Realm standing beside her.
Without giving Li Weiyi a chance to land and catch her breath, she used her movement technique, stepping on clouds and mist to avoid the Head Scholar who had fallen first, and struck out with a palm in mid-air.
As the second most skilled scholar in the Saints Learning Sea after Meng Quyi, Qing Xiang was far more powerful than the other Head Scholar.
Li Weiyi's left hand fingers gripped Ye Tianchen's wrist pulse point tightly, causing Ye Tianchen excruciating pain with the slightest movement. He raised his right arm, his palm forming a cloud -Swastika Symbol Imprint, and pressed down on Qing Xiang.
"Boom!"
Qing Xiang took Li Weiyi's palm strike head-on, her body pressed back to the ground by the Swastika Symbol Imprint, the earth beneath her feet cracking.
Li Weiyi, having landed on the ground, wanted to press her advantage.
"Giggle!"
But then, Ye Tianchen twisted his own arm off, not wanting to be controlled by Li Weiyi in front of everyone.
Despite the pain, he crouched down and punched Li Weiyi in the abdomen.
This is what Pu Yanshou meant when he said that in Meng Qingyuan, everyone in the Saints Learning Sea was prepared to pay any price for the sake of face. Elsewhere, they might not have had such decisiveness and will.
Ye Tianchen's wrist was still held tightly by Li Weiyi, who squeezed his pulse point.
However, his tendons and Trace Meridians were completely severed, and the bones in his arm were twisted into a pretzel and broken into several pieces, all in an attempt to catch Li Weiyi off guard and severely injure him.
Li Weiyi's body was flashing with defensive runes, his ancestral field trembled, and he took two steps back, dissipating most of the force from the punch.
"Well done! Southern Dragon has unparalleled cultivation, and the men of our Saints Learning Sea also possess the courage to fight to the death."
Qing Xiang pressed her attack forward.
The two Fourth Realm Head Scholar who had fallen earlier finished their meditation and healing, and then attacked from the left and right.
All the Saint Mind Master retreated quickly, expanding the array circle and the sea of runes, not daring to make any rash moves. This was because Li Weiyi was still holding Ye Tianchen as Protective Talisman, and if she was not careful, Ye Tianchen would be suppressed and killed by the array and runes first.
The Duanfeng Seven Slashes, the sword intent flowing endlessly.
The internal energy flowed like a surging river.
Mo Duanfeng unleashed three consecutive slashes, each one stronger than the last, his battle prowess steadily rising.
The Fourth Sea is the main sea, Mo Duanfeng has cultivated it to a size comparable to the Feng Mansion of Longevity Realm Martial Cultivator. The magic energy, sword intent, magic weapon scriptures, and Longevity Scriptures are intertwined.
The fourth strike was even more powerful.
Meng Quyi's Heaven and Earth Freedom Realm enveloped the entire Meng Qingyuan, drawing upon all the power within this small world.
The waters of Mirror Lake transformed into cyan ice dragons, the essence of green vegetation, the yellowish-brown Earth Qi, the brilliance of the stars in the sky... countless forces converged upon him like streams.
He activated the ring on his hand, his arm transformed into white jade, and unleashed the <Earth Book> martial art "White Jade Sacred Hand".
He swung his palm to meet the attack.
"Bang!"
Gold and jade clashing.
The Qi of All Things in Heaven and Earth surrounding Meng Quyi trembled, and his figure retreated for the first time.
Meng Quyi's Heaven and Earth Freedom Realm has the advantages of speed and profound Daoist techniques, but when he encounters Mo Duanfeng, these advantages are completely ineffective, and he cannot dodge any of Mo Duanfeng's attacks.
Just as he regained his footing, Mo Duanfeng raised his sword for the fifth strike, his sword intent enveloping him.
