Slaying Five Seas

Li Weiyi felt as if the opponent's fist was a metal War Hammer weighing ten thousand pounds, with a force as great as if it could pierce through a city wall.

Upon impact, his entire arm was wracked with pain, and his body flew backward.

At this moment, only one thought occupied his mind, "I've been tricked by Hidden Twenty-Four. Even if he's only at the First Realm the Five Seas Realm, his power is extraordinary, surpassing even Yang Shen Realm's Hundred Meridian Lines All Silver Realm. This Tang Yan Non-Self current cultivation level; I have no chance of winning."

Tang Yan was in a much worse state than Li Weiyi. With a series of thuds, he crushed a pile of bricks and stones under his feet, and his face instantly turned pale. His clenched fists were so painful that he could no longer hold them.

Who on earth have we offended?

The opponent is undoubtedly at the Five Seas Realm.

After entering the Changlin Gang headquarters, Hidden Twenty-Four leaped to the roof of the three-story main hall, where he stood on the glazed tiles to occupy the best vantage point, overlooking the entire mansion and searching for the location of the array's core.

Seeing that Li Weiyi had gained the upper hand in the first exchange with the Five Seas Realm expert, she was secretly surprised.

Although one was a surprise attack, the other was caught off guard.

But that's a leap across a whole new realm!

She knew that the Hidden Lord's real test for Li Weiyi was not the Changlin Gang, nor did he expect that Li Weiyi could destroy the Changlin Gang.

Although Tang Yan's strength is greater than Yang Shen Realm's, Li Weiyi would undoubtedly be defeated if he faced him. However, Li Weiyi still has magical artifacts that he can use, such as the silver silk gauntlets he wears on both hands, which, when activated, can increase his palm power by 20% to 30%.

That palm strike he just delivered was only able to overpower Tang Yan thanks to the enhancement provided by the silver silk gauntlets.

With a surge of magical power, the pain in his arm vanished instantly. Li Weiyi drew the Yellow Dragon Sword hidden within his Invisibility Cloak, and using the Clear Void Cicada Evasion Step, launched an attack on Tang Yan.

Tang Yan's arm did not recover as quickly as Li Weiyi's, and he saw the sky full of sword lights approaching.

Not knowing the opponent's strength, he dared not take the attack head-on and immediately retreated to dodge.

Li Weiyi was afraid of his strong fighting spirit and unwavering will to fight. As long as he had fear and timidity in his heart, he would probably only be able to exert 70% or 80% of his strength as a cultivator at the Five Seas Realm.

After dodging six or seven attacks, Tang Yan realized that the magical sword looked somewhat familiar.

But Li Weiyi gave him no time to think, each sword strike faster than the last.

"Sizzle!"

A yellow glint flashed, and the sword tip tore a long gash in Tang Yan's clothes at the chest.

It was just a hair's breadth away from inflicting the wound.

"Such impressive cultivation and speed. It seems my cultivation level is still too low; I can't even hurt him like this." Li Weiyi's eyes were solemn, and the pressure in his heart was increasing. He was very worried that Xu Changlin would arrive in the next moment.

Tang Yan looked at the tear in his robe and trembled with fear, fleeing even more frantically. "Who exactly are you? Our Changlin Gang has powerful backers. The Yang Clan and the Sui Sect are renowned in Lizhou. You'd better consider whether you can afford to offend them."

"The deputy gang leader has such a bad memory. It's only been two months, and he's already forgotten the despicable act of your Changlin Gang seizing my house?"

Li Weiyi went to the mansion where he used to live and found that it had changed owners and become a stronghold of the Changlin Gang.

Tang Yan had done many things by trickery and force, and for a moment he couldn't remember who this adversary in front of him was.

I was slightly distracted.

Li Weiyi thrust his sword below his collarbone, the tip sinking a full inch deep.

The Sword Qi energy and magical power invaded his body, and the pain spread Tang Yan his entire body.

Tang Yan screamed and retreated, roaring, "Everyone else has stormed the main altar, what are you all standing around for? Attack together!"

"Hoping a group of disciples at the Spring Realm will save you? With your mindset, how could you possibly be a match for me?"

Li Weiyi no longer harbored any fear or awe towards martial artists at the Five Seas Realm. Seizing the opportunity, he unleashed the Taiyi Opens the Sea, a level of Heavenly Dao Mana Fusion.

A sword flashed, leaving a bright yellow streak about ten feet long.

Tang Yan let out a long roar, exerting all his strength to mobilize the Qi Sea, and threw out two waves of fist energy.

It is a fist technique at the level of Heavenly Dao Mana Fusion.

"Boom!"

The Sword Qi sliced through the fist's energy wave, but some residual force still impacted Li Weiyi, causing her body to fly backward uncontrollably.

The strength of the magical energy of a martial artist at the Five Seas Realm is far superior to that of the Spring Realm.

This all-out collision shattered a small building above their heads, collapsing beams and pillars, and scattering tiles and bricks everywhere. The sheer force of the attack caused martial artists below the seventh level to flee in terror, nearly losing their souls in fear.

The aftershocks of a battle between two Five Seas Realm cultivators could kill ordinary Spring Realm martial artists; they dared not get involved.

Tang Yan recognized the sword strike from before, his eyes fixed on the semi-transparent figure. He exclaimed in surprise, "It's you! You've broken through to the Five Seas Realm?"

Li Weiyi had just landed on the ground.

Seven members of the Changlin Gang, each wielding a heavy crossbow, fired thin, needle-like arrows that flew without making a sound.

"Ding ding!"

Li Weiyi is no longer the same as before, so why would he take this level of attack seriously? He brandished his longsword, and the powerful magical energy and sword shadows formed a spherical energy shield.

All the incoming crossbow bolts fell to the ground.

"Whoosh!"

He drew a circle with his arm, and wisps of magical energy emanated from his sleeve, swirling up the crossbow bolts on the ground and sending them flying out like a waterfall.

Amidst screams, all seven crossbow-wielding gang members fell to the ground, their bodies riddled with bloody holes.

After Tang Yan recognized Li Weiyi, his fear vanished. Even if Li Weiyi had truly broken through to the Five Seas Realm, it was only the initial stage of his cultivation, while Tang Yan himself had been diligently cultivating in the Five Seas Realm for over twenty years.

He took out a silver ruler, a magical artifact, and infused it with magical power to activate it. Instantly, a dazzling silver light illuminated the entire front yard.

With a swing of the silver ruler, a beam of light cascaded down, rushing towards Li Weiyi with overwhelming force, cracking the stone slabs in its path.

"To activate a magical artifact with the power of the Five Seas Realm cultivator, how could it possess such might?"

Li Weiyi immediately took out the Ghost Flag, used his arm as a flagpole to wave it, and poured all his Eight Springs magic power into it.

As the Ghost Flag fluttered, a large amount of black Nether Mist surged out, transforming the front yard into a sinister and terrifying ghost realm. A ghostly figure, over ten feet tall and clad in armor, emerged from the flag, wielding a battle spear and unleashing a terrifying chill that reversed the summer heat, turning it into winter.

The ground within a radius of several dozen feet was covered in frost.

Each time Li Weiyi breaks through a realm, the power unleashed by activating the Ghost Flag is different.

This extremely faint, armored ghostly figure was being activated for the first time, which surprised even Li Weiyi himself.

The beam of light that Tang Yan unleashed clashed with the armored ghost figure, but it sank like a stone into the sea, without even a ripple. Just as he was stunned by the ghost figure's imposing aura, Li Weiyi's sword light arrived in front of him.

"Pfft!"

Despite his best efforts, Tang Yan was unable to dodge and was pierced through the chest by a sword.

"Agh... If we're going to die, we'll die together!"

Tang Yan a miserable howl, enduring the pain in his chest, and swung his ruler to strike Li Weiyi's head.

The distance was too close, and no one expected that Tang Yan would unleash such a terrifying fighting spirit at the moment of death. Li Weiyi had no choice but to abandon his sword and roll to the left to dodge.

Before he could get up, a sharp and domineering wave of power, accompanied by Xu Changlin's roar, slashed towards him.

"Boom!"

It was a dark and sinister magical weapon, a sword, that cleaved the ground where Li Weiyi had just rolled, leaving a trench several meters long.

The mere touch of the blade's energy was enough to cause several cracks to appear in Li Weiyi's semi-transparent Nightwalker's Robe.

Xu Changlin, the leader of the Changlin Gang, was also at the First Realm of the Five Seas Realm, but his combat strength was clearly superior to Tang Yan's. The battle blade in his hand was not only a magic weapon, but also a highly secret heavy weapon, weighing more than a thousand catties.

Once it lands on you, even the strongest body will be shattered to pieces.

Besides Xu Changlin, more than a dozen other gang experts at the Seven Springs level rushed out together. Each of them exuded magical energy and was full of vigor, clearly formidable figures who had experienced countless battles.

Tang Yan collapsed to the ground, blood streaming from his chest, hissing like a broken bellows. "He... he is Li Weiyi, he pierced my Qi Sea and destroyed my Five Seas Realm cultivation... Kill him, tear him to pieces."

Li Weiyi rushed forward before Xu Changlin, grabbed the sword hilt, pulled it out, and then swung it in an arc.

"Puff!"

Tang Yan's head detached from his neck and flew towards Xu Changlin, who caught it in time and held it in his hand.

Sitting on the ground, Tang Yan gushed a three-foot-high fountain of blood from his neck.

A Five Seas Realm was actually killed just like that!

Enraged, Xu Changlin's eyes flashed with murderous intent. He casually tossed Tang Yan's head to the ground like a watermelon. "Li Weiyi, the Shi Gang has been searching for you for days. Since you've come here to die, I, Xu, will grant your wish."

Surrounded, Li Weiyi remained completely calm, instead sneering, "Why has the Changlin Gang changed its name?"

"It was just changed! Xu Changlin has passed the position of gang leader to me, Shi."

A series of footsteps sounded, and Shi Chuan Yu, leading another group of people, appeared behind Li Weiyi. He was dressed as a scholar and looked refined in his forties or fifties.

Li Weiyi certainly recognized him; he was the flag leader of the Changlin Gang, a cultivator at the Eight Springs level, and he was part of the pursuit in the Sui River.

"It seems that Shi Gang has actually broken through to the Fifth Sea Realm. The gang is truly a place where strength reigns supreme. Just breaking through one realm is the difference between a subordinate and the chief. Even the gang's name has to be changed because of you," Li Weiyi said.

"It's all thanks to the Young Lady's upbringing."

Shi Chuan Yu possessed a strong effeminate aura and was also a eunuch. A knowing smile graced his face as he said, "Breaking through the Eight Springs to the Five Seas—even if Xu Changlin and Tang Yan cultivated in the Five Seas Realm for twenty or thirty years, they still couldn't compare. And you? Judging from your appearance, you don't seem to have broken through to the Five Seas Realm; you seem more like you're still in the Nine Springs Realm."

Two months ago, Li Weiyi's sword slew Xue Zheng, Pure Immortal Body of the Eight Springs, causing a great stir in Yao Pass. Everyone called him the Perfected Person of the Nine Springs.

Shi Chuan Yu certainly didn't believe Li Weiyi was already dead; otherwise, how could killing Tang Yan have been so difficult?

He was more convinced that Li Weiyi had borrowed some extraordinary magical artifact Battle Treasure from his person.

Historically, there are many examples of those successors cultivated by Myriad Gate Families using powerful magical artifacts to defeat those at the Five Seas Realm in the Nine Perfected Person Realm. To give a recent example, Yang Shen Realm, the number one person in Lizhou, once severely injured Five Seas Realm expert in the Nine Springs Realm and almost killed him.

"The Xue Clan has offered a reward of five thousand Spring Coin for his head. How about we join forces to kill him and split the reward four or six?" Xu Changlin suggested.

Shi Chuan Yu laughed and said, "The bounties from the Yang Clan and Xue Clan are all yours, and the magical artifacts on his body are mine."

Li Weiyi looked around and found that all escape routes had been blocked by the Seven Springs Martial Cultivators. Two Five Seas Realm experts had locked onto him with wisps of magical energy mist. As soon as he moved, he would immediately attract two extremely powerful attacking forces from the front and back.

"Is Eight Springs Breaking Five Seas really that strong?" Hidden Twenty-Four's clear voice came from the three-story glazed tile roof.

She sat there, not hidden, and dressed in black.

Li Weiyi shouted at her, "The Changlin Gang is gone. Is my mission over? Or, why don't you kill this Shi Gang and let Xu Changlin become the gang leader again?"

Fighting two opponents at the Five Seas Realm alone?

Li Weiyi must be insane to fight alone like this.

Shi Chuan Yu's attention was drawn to the Hidden Twenty-Four on the roof, and he laughed heartily, "Eight Springs Breaking Five Seas, of course it's very strong."

As he spoke, Shi Chuan Yu spat out a flying sword formed from condensed magical energy. The flying sword was as bright as a streak of light, powerful and capable of surprising victories.

"Bang!"

Hidden Twenty-Four unleashed a palm strike, a cloud of magical energy emanating from his palm, shattering the flying sword into pieces.

She stood up, her figure slender and tall, yet possessing an awe-inspiring Aura that seemed to rival the heavens and earth. Her tone was icy. "I just went to investigate the backyard and found many young girls and boys being imprisoned. From the conversations of the gang members, the girls will be sent to various brothels in Jiu Li City, while the boys will be offered to a powerful demon to become its snacks."

"Therefore, whether it's the Changlin Gang or the Shi Gang, they are utterly wicked. We need not show any mercy; let's join forces today to wipe them out!"

Shi Chuan Yu realized that the girl in black was not someone to be trifled with, so he immediately dispatched two Seven Springs Martial Cultivators to rush to the Sui Sect and Yang Clan for help as quickly as possible.

Dragon Gate sent dozens of boxes of important items to Shi Gang. If danger arises here, the Five Seas Realm experts from the Sui Sect and Yang Clan will surely arrive immediately.
