Slaying Another Five Seas Realm

Li Weiyi's figure blurred, like a gentle breeze, as he caught up with the two Seven Springs martial arts practitioners who were about to leave.

In a flash of sword light, the two men were cut in half at the waist, blood splattering everywhere.

Forget about retaliating; the two Seven Springs martial artists didn't even see Li Weiyi's figure clearly. With such strength, who would believe he was only at the Eighth Spring?

"No one will be leaving this mansion today."

Li Weiyi stood tall before the three-zhang-wide bronze gate, a blood-stained sword in his hand, his eyes sweeping over the dozens of martial arts masters in the courtyard, exuding an aura of invincibility.

Two martial arts masters from the Shi Gang attempted to scale the wall to leave and deliver a message.

"Bang!"

"Bang!"

They had just leaped onto the courtyard wall, which was more than two zhang high, when two bright and complex Formation Script appeared out of thin air in the air above the wall and struck the two of them.

Amid screams, the two fell back, covered in blood.

His death was gruesome.

"Wow, that's impressive. They actually managed to disrupt our formation." Shi Chuan Yu remained calm.

Hidden Twenty-Four said, "I only added a talisman inside the array tower. Now the array covering the entire hundred-acre mansion is completely out of control. Anyone who tries to break in will be attacked."

All the gang members in the courtyard looked at each other, their hearts filled with apprehension.

These two ruthless individuals were actually planning to kill them all?

Shi Chuan Yu gave Xu Changlin a wink, then shouted, "The gate is a gap in the formation. The Seven Springs Martial Cultivators can break through it. Whoever can fight their way out of the Shi Gang's residence to seek help from the Yang Clan will be rewarded with a Five Seas Pill."

"Kill!"

Xu Changlin's entire body was overflowing with magical energy from every pore, like clouds. He was full of imposing aura, carrying a heavy sword weighing a thousand pounds, and strode towards Li Weiyi, who was guarding the gate.

A dozen or so martial arts practitioners from the Seven Springs, each wielding a weapon, followed closely behind, their battle cries shaking the heavens and the earth.

Shi Chuan Yu then took out a mirror-shaped magical artifact and intercepted Hidden Twenty-Four, who was flying down from the roof, to buy time for Xu Changlin.

Knowing that Li Weiyi was under immense pressure, Hidden Twenty-Four completely ignored Shi Chuan Yu, riding the wind past him and arriving first despite starting later, gracefully landing on the open space between Xu Changlin and Li Weiyi.

A heavy blade, weighing a thousand pounds, came crashing down.

A beam of magical energy, ten feet long, shot out from the blade.

Hidden Twenty-Four unleashed the Heavenly Wind Palm Technique, and with a single strike, the entire world within a radius of several dozen feet seemed to spin.

He met the knife with his palm, and a hurricane howled.

"Boom!"

The heavy sword, weighing a thousand pounds, flew out from above Xu Changlin's head as if it were made of wood.

Xu Changlin, a renowned expert of the Five Seas Realm for decades, was struck by a single palm strike, coughing up blood and flying backward like a kite with a broken string. The heavy sword, weighing a thousand pounds, crashed to the ground, making a resounding thud.

Hidden Twenty-Four pressed his advantage, intending to kill him quickly.

But Xu Changlin displayed his seasoned combat experience, quickly stabilizing himself by touching the ground with his toes. With a whooshing sound in his Qi Sea, he unleashed a powerful punch.

Shi Chuan Yu arrived with the mirror, and after activating it with his magical energy, a beam of scorching heat, as thick as a bowl, shot out from the mirror.

Hidden Twenty-Four unleashed both palms simultaneously, fighting two opponents head-on with two Five Seas Realm experts.

"Bang!"

Xu Changlin coughed up blood again, his face ashen, and he rolled to the ground like a gourd.

Shi Chuan Yu was slightly better off, thanks to the mirror-shaped magical artifact that provided some protection. Although his internal magical energy was disrupted and he felt chest pain and tightness, he was still able to stand and was not as disheveled as Xu Changlin.

After Li Weiyi slew three Seven Springs martial artists and intimidated a group of Shi Gang experts, he was amazed to see Hidden Twenty-Four unleash such a powerful palm technique. However, an interesting question came to mind.

The Heavenly Wind Palm Technique is the Fundamental Martial Art of the Medicine King, one of the Nine Kings.

At the age of sixteen, she had already cultivated this palm technique to the level of Heavenly Dao Mana Fusion, and it's even possible that she comprehended the Battle Intent through the Heavenly Wind Palm Technique. Therefore, she must have been cultivating since childhood, rather than starting to practice after joining the Hidden Gate.

Here's where things get interesting: the Heavenly Dao Mana Fusion and Martial Arts that Yao Yin cultivates is also the Heavenly Wind Palm Technique.

These two people are likely from the Yao Li Tribe, and given their similar ages and the fact that Hidden Twenty-Four talks so much to Yao Yin, Li Weiyi has reason to suspect that they already know each other, and may even have a very good relationship, but are just pretending to be strangers because of their different statuses.

After all, the recluse must sever ties with the past.

The thought flashed through Li Weiyi's mind, but before he could ponder it further, the situation in the courtyard underwent a new change.

The group of eunuchs in blue robes guarding the caravan's goods stood in a corner of the front yard, remaining like bystanders and not participating in the fighting at all.

Most of them appeared calm, while some had disdain and mockery in their eyes.

"This Changlin Gang is truly a rabble; they can't even take down two children who have just entered the Five Seas Realm," a martial arts practitioner in his fifties said with a sinister smile.

The strongest among them was a middle-aged man who had opened eight springs. He said in a hoarse voice, "That girl is not simple. She looks like a Nine Springs Perfected Person has broken through to the Fifth Sea realm. She is invincible among people of the same realm."

"What's the point of being invincible one-on-one? On the battlefield, who will fight you one-on-one? One charge and you'll all be crushed into bloody pulp," said another eunuch in blue.

"Let's do it. Kill these two. We can't afford any accidents with the goods we're escorting."

Among the eunuchs in blue, the middle-aged man who had opened the Eight Springs nodded, took a white Yin Banner over two meters long from the carriage, and roared, "All soldiers, heed my command!"

"Draw your swords and form ranks."

"Whoosh!"

The thirty-three eunuchs in blue robes instantly became fierce and sharp, drawing their identical battle swords from their waists and forming a battle formation of three columns and eleven rows.

They made a gesture of drawing their swords to the sky, exuding a beauty that comes from perfect order, with the tips of each sword aligned in a straight line.

With a turn of the blade, they all turned.

Thirty-three people seemed to have become one.

Driven by their internal magical energy, a Formation Script appeared on the blue robes of all thirty-three people. A deafening roar resounded from the battle formation formed by the thirty-three Formation Script.

A humanoid shadow, holding a phoenix-beaked dagger, appeared above the battle formation. It was six or seven meters tall and exuded a terrifying aura.

All the martial artists in the courtyard felt as if they were on a battlefield with thousands of troops, and they were so frightened that they dared not breathe. Even Shi Chuan Yu and Xu Changlin were stunned and looked at the battle formation in the corner, feeling the pressure.

Hidden Twenty-Four retreated to Li Weiyi's side, his eyes grave. "So you're from the military. It seems the things in those boxes are quite something."

The middle-aged man from the Eight Springs, holding a white Yin Banner, said, "Surrender. Your cultivation is utterly insignificant in the face of battle."

Hidden Twenty-Four sneered, "The Thirty-three Word Departed Spirit Battle Formation, coupled with the Ghost General Yin Banner artifact, is indeed quite troublesome, but not enough to make me surrender."

The middle-aged man holding the banner said, "The ordinary Thirty-three Word Departed Spirit Battle Formation consists of three Seven Springs martial artists, ten Six Springs martial artists, ten Five Springs martial artists, and ten Four Springs martial artists, arranged in a ladder-like formation. But look at us, do we have even one Four Springs martial artist?"

"Since she's courting death, let's send her on her way first." A loud voice rang out from the battlefield.

A middle-aged man holding a banner waves Yin Banner.

"Whoosh!"

A sudden gust of cold wind arose, and a fierce ghost roared.

The giant ghost general above the battle formation charged out, its phoenix-beak blade slashing down fiercely.

Hidden Twenty-Four's expression changed slightly, and without reservation, he formed a palm print. Instantly, winds swept through the courtyard from all directions, and the palm print he unleashed transformed into a dazzling cloud of palm power.

The phoenix-beak blade swept away the clouds of palm force with overwhelming force, and fell straight towards her head.

Li Weiyi sensed something was wrong and rushed out, colliding with Hidden Twenty-Four. The two of them tumbled several feet away.

"Boom!"

The phoenix-beak knife slashed down and hit the ground, creating a deep crater, with the blade completely embedded in it.

The two fled at breakneck speed, evading the pursuit of the ghost general.

Li Weiyi asked, "What's going on? How can a group of seemingly weak martial artists at the Spring Realm become so powerful after forming a battle formation? The entire Changlin Gang combined probably wouldn't be a match for them."

In Li Weiyi's view, the strength of the Changlin Gang was several times that of those eunuchs in blue robes.

The situation before him overturned his understanding.

"The Changlin Gang is nothing but a rabble; how can they compare to an army?"

"At the same cultivation level, the Changlin Gang can only bully the weak and spend their time indulging in drinking, gambling, and whoring. But the soldiers train hard every day and fight to the death on the battlefield."

Hidden Twenty-Four continued, "The soldiers in battle formation train with only one sword technique every day, and they must be absolutely synchronized, including in terms of spirit, morale, and fighting will. Didn't you notice that when the Ghost General swung his sword, the thirty-three eunuchs in blue robes also swung their swords at the same time?"

"This absolutely precise and orderly fighting style is also known as the Heavenly Dao Mana Fusion. It requires several years, even more than ten years, of rigorous and arduous training to achieve."

"With the aid of the thirty-three-character Formation Script, they became as one."

"This is only the Thirty-three Word Departed Spirit Battle Formation.' If they encounter battle formations of a thousand or ten thousand characters, their battle intent can even transform into cities, rivers, seas, fire plains, mountains, giants, dragons and phoenixes, the Starry Sky... In short, their army is invincible and cannot be resisted by any individual."

Li Weiyi reflected, "If only I hadn't underestimated them. I should have killed a few before they formed their battle formation."

"I'll break the formation; the rest are yours!"

Hidden Twenty-Four charged toward the battle formation of the thirty-three eunuchs in blue robes, slit his wrist, and used his own blood to activate the Three-headed Snake Bracelet, preparing to test the power of the blood soul within this high-level magic artifact.

"Leave everything to me?"

Li Weiyi looked towards the bronze gate of the mansion in the distance and saw several Seven Springs Martial Arts practitioners breaking the formation. Helpless, he had no choice but to tap the Insect Tube and use his true trump card.

"Waaah!"

The Seven Phoenix Wing Moth Emperors flapped their wings and flew out simultaneously, transforming into seven colorful halos of light. With incredible speed, they killed all the Seven Springs Martial Cultivators who were trying to break through the door to escape.

The corpses lay scattered haphazardly on the ground.

Over the past twenty-odd days, after consuming the Five Hundred Year Old Cistanche, they have grown even larger.

Li Weiyi repeatedly measured their body length, and it was still a little short of two inches.

"It's a ferocious insect; he's actually a powerful Insect Tamer."

Shi Chuan Yu could tell that the Seven Phoenix Wing Moth Emperors were no ordinary warriors. Their wings were as fast as magical swords, making it as easy for them to kill Seven Springs Martial Cultivators as eating or drinking. Moreover, their speed was terrifying, no less than that of the Five Seas Realm Martial Cultivator.

A legendary Insect Tamer, capable of single-handedly fighting against an entire army and guarding a city, how could Shi Chuan Yu not be astonished?

"Whoosh!"

He attacked Li Weiyi with the mirror in hand.

The best way to deal with the swarm of ferocious insects is to kill the Insect Tamer.

"Swish! Swish..."

Five Phoenix Wing Moth Emperor flew in from five directions, tracing a winding arc, and attacked Shi Chuan Yu together.

The remaining two stayed at the gate and killed all the gang members who rushed over.

Shi Chuan Yu was undeniably powerful. With a wave of his mirror-shaped magical artifact, he sent the first Phoenix Wing Moth Emperor flying, sending it crashing heavily into a pillar of a building in the distance.

The pillar was broken.

But the Phoenix Wing Moth Emperor acted as if nothing had happened, and in an instant, it flapped its wings and flew up from the ground again. Its body was like cast iron, and its defensive power was so strong that even ordinary magical weapons could not harm it.

"Sizzle!"

The membranous wing of a Phoenix Wing Moth Emperor swept across Shi Chuan Yu's arm, instantly cutting a deep gash.

Then came the second bloody gash, the third...

Under the combined attack of the five Phoenix Wing Moth Emperors, Shi Chuan Yu was unable to defend himself and gradually became flustered, with more and more wounds appearing on his body. The more he fought, the more horrified he became, sensing the terrifying nature of Li Weiyi, the Insect Tamer, and the thought of fleeing immediately arose in his mind.

On the other side, Li Weiyi and Xu Changlin had already exchanged more than ten blows.

Xu Changlin had previously suffered internal injuries from Hidden Twenty-Four's attack, and under Li Weiyi's all-out offensive, he gradually fell into a disadvantageous position.

"Boom!"

After their swords clashed with full force, the two men retreated.

Taking advantage of this opportunity, Li Weiyi formed a hand seal, mobilized the magical energy in his Feng Mansion, and unleashed his strongest attack, striking out with a single finger.

Compassionate Sail Opening Light!

Xu Changlin's battle sword was too heavy to swing in time, so he could only form a palm seal, and his internal energy burst out wildly from his palm, colliding with Li Weiyi's fingers.

"Puff!"

Xu Changlin's palm was pierced.

A beam of light-like force pierced through the back of his hand, landing on his chest and creating a transparent, bloody hole the size of a wine glass.

Xu Changlin screamed and staggered backward.

He first looked at his shattered hand, then looked down at his pierced chest, his pupils filled with despair, and fell straight down.

Li Weiyi was not unscathed after clashing head-on with someone from the Five Seas Realm. He was knocked through a wall by Xu Changlin's palm strike and only managed to get up after a long while.

With bloodstains at the corner of his mouth, he walked to Xu Changlin's body and, after confirming that he was completely dead, finally let out a long sigh of relief.

Fighting two Five Seas Realm in succession was extremely dangerous and cost them a considerable price.
