In fact, the moment Li Wei set foot on the Cold Plains, he knew he was being followed.
Challenging this group of Fallen was also a ploy to lure them out. They were likely members of other Reincarnators' teams, and there was only one possibility for them to be following him.
That is to slay.
Eliminate the strongest member of another squad, or wipe out the entire other squad.
Undoubtedly, this is a good idea. Xiao Li Wei had the same idea, but the strength of his team members was too uneven.
The only ones who can pose a threat to the opposing Reincarnation Squad are myself and Zheng Yutong. However, the opposing Reincarnation Squad has a team, and if they manage to seize the key mission or kill all of my team members during this time, the losses will be too great.
Just because Xiao Wu can't implement this plan himself doesn't mean others can't.
A smart person is definitely not just yourself.
Sensing the sharp killing intent behind him, Li Wei immediately released his protective true energy, the Dragon Whisker Armor. Since Innate Skill, he had not yet encountered a reincarnator who could truly threaten him.
However, when Li Wei turned around, he saw a large splatter of blood.
There are people injured?
But when that scene appeared before Li Wei's eyes, it stunned him.
Zheng Chenglong, who was always joking and playing around and never serious, was now facing him, seemingly protecting him. He was still holding the Heavenly Sword Sect's practice iron sword in his hand, his chest covered in blood, with a few inches of sharp blade protruding from Zheng Chenglong chest, particularly conspicuous amidst the blood-red stain.
"Be careful, boss!"
After saying "cough," Zheng Chenglong spat out a mouthful of blood, and his body instantly went limp.
Behind him, a dark figure gradually disappeared into the air. Clearly, the assassin knew that the attack had failed. For an assassin, the best option was to disappear and look for another opportunity, or simply give up.
Li Wei was clearly aware of this as well.
When Zheng Chenglong said, "Boss, be careful," Li Wei's heart skipped a beat. In that instant, he knew that the dagger pierced his heart.
A punctured heart means certain death!
So, Zheng Chenglong is dead?
For his own sake, and to protect himself who was in no real danger, this thug died?
Moreover, since he died so decisively, for some reason, Li Wei felt his Qi in his dantian increase several times over.
For the first time, I've felt this strongly about killing someone.
My dantian, blood vessels, and meridians felt like they were about to burst.
And at that moment, just as the assassin was about to disappear into thin air.
"What the hell are you running for?"
He raised his hand and unleashed Cloud Piercing Palm infused with all his inner strength. Boom! Like a cannon, it churned the air into a turbulent mass, its attack range an astonishing three meters.
In other words, within a three-meter radius, even the air itself was torn to shreds by this powerful palm strike.
The assassin, who had just disappeared into the air, was also struck by this powerful force. However, he was clearly no weakling; he only spat out a mouthful of blood, then a cloud of smoke exploded around his body before he completely vanished.
Li Wei desperately wanted to remain calm, but it felt like something was stuck in his chest, preventing him from exhaling. The assassin's presence had completely vanished, indicating that he had already left.
On the ground to the side, Zheng Chenglong lay there, still holding the sword in his hand.
Li Wei remembered that he, as the second senior brother, personally handed this sword to the other party back in the Heavenly Sword Sect.
Still in shock, Liu Piaopiao finally came to her senses and rushed over to check on Zheng Chenglong's injuries.
Upon seeing this, Liu Piaopiao was speechless, only looking at Li Wei helplessly.
He walked over and picked up the gradually cooling corpse. For the first time, Li Wei truly understood his slave. Although this guy liked to flatter and was afraid of death, there was no doubt that he was not lacking in courage.
"Piaopiao, I'm going to kill that person!"
These were Li Wei's words spoken in a state of extreme calm. Liu Piaopiao, who was standing to the side, could clearly feel the terrifying killing intent emanating from him, so thick that it was impossible to dispel it.
Burial Grounds.
This is a Land of the Dead; the vast cemetery in the distance is so glaringly conspicuous.
Li Wei, who had just arrived, remained silent. Behind him, Liu Piaopiao also held a long sword, showing none of the awkwardness she had displayed when first fighting the enemy.
Combat is the best way to improve your strength.
"There are people over there!" Liu Piaopiao closed her eyes to sense for a while, then opened them and said, "They should be reincarnators, in that tomb area. The number is uncertain; their presence in the air is too faint!"
This is a "Qi-sensing method" that Li Wei taught her on the road. Anyone who has practiced internal energy cultivation can learn this technique. The principle is very simple: use your own true energy to form a "probe"-like shape to sense the residual energy in the air. Every living thing has energy!
However, each has its own characteristics and varying degrees of strength. The aura of a reincarnator is very special, and it is easy to separate that aura from the surrounding aura of death.
Li Wei nodded. He was no longer as amazed by Liu Piaopiao's learning ability as he had been when they first met.
This girl has already broken through to the final level of the Heavenly Sword Sect's basic internal energy cultivation method in a very short time. She is only one step away from mastery.
Of course, there is a world of difference between mastering the Heavenly Sword Sect's inner cultivation method and mastering the Innate Skill. However, the understanding and application of true qi can already reach a certain level.
"The assassin isn't among this group of reincarnators. I suspect he's still following us. Follow my instructions and act accordingly if necessary!"
The two walked into the large cemetery area, one after the other.
Calling it a cemetery is an understatement; it's more accurate to call it a mass burial ground.
The cemetery, divided into dozens of sections, was now in complete disarray, with many parts dug up. The remains inside were either nowhere to be found or piled up on the surface like garbage, exposed to the elements.
Of course, many more were summoned by some evil force, crawling out of their peaceful tombs to wreak havoc on the world.
There are only two types of monsters here.
Skeleton warriors and zombies.
They were too weak for Li Wei, so they became Liu Piaopiao's practice tools.
By channeling her inner energy to its limit, the beautiful female student first swung her sword, severing the head of a zombie, and then countered with a "Falling Blossoms Divine Sword Palm," shattering a skeleton into pieces.
The Divine Sword, as its name suggests, is a palm strike as sharp as a sword. Liu Piaopiao can already unleash 60% of the power of this palm technique, and this improvement is constantly increasing.
Li Wei had nothing left to pick up from the dropped items and weapons, so they all went to Liu Piaopiao.
After traveling for a while, Li Wei saw a group of more than a dozen people fighting against a tall, armored Archer in the cemetery.
With this Eye of Perception, everything about both sides is now clearly visible.
"Is that the Blood Raven?" Li Wei sneered.
He then gestured for Liu Piaopiao to stay put. He himself, however, suddenly...
With a flick of his Black Spiral Iron Sword, he unleashed several sword beams, aiming directly at the blood crow...
Li Wei couldn't let the other side complete the task first, so he had to strike first and kill the Blood Raven.
The Blood Raven clearly sensed the threat. Known for its speed, it dodged dozens of meters away in just a few quick movements.
Boom! Boom! Boom!
Several loud bangs rang out. The sword light that Li Wei unleashed struck the ground, instantly shattering the tombstone and leaving several sword marks on the muddy ground.
This move stunned both sides, and the chaotic battle came to a halt.
Upon landing, Li Wei didn't even glance at the dozen or so bewildered reincarnators, but instead rushed towards the Blood Raven without stopping.
With a swift movement, a flash of sword light appeared!
Brush!
One of Blood Crow's arms flew up.
Even though the Blood Raven's body and mind were corrupted by Andariel's hellish power, it still felt excruciating pain. Li Wei, however, knew that the hellish power here and his own true energy were two different things.
The true energy flowed along the sword blade and into the opponent's body, transforming into steel needles under the influence of the True Qi-Controlling Formula. The Pain was so intense that even the three great demon gods probably couldn't completely withstand it.
"Probably only at level?!" Li Wei instantly assessed the Blood Raven's combat strength. For him now, dealing with a level? opponent was a piece of cake.
The Upper Clear Sword Marrow, Hundred Blades Break!
The originally heavy Black Spiral Iron Sword instantly turned into a series of afterimages. By the time the afterimages returned to the shape of a sword, the battle was over.
Hundred Blades Break! is a unique slashing technique that Li Wei developed on his own while studying the seventh form of the Upper Clear Sword Marrow.
The principle is simple: use true qi to connect the arm and the sword together. True qi is like blood vessels, making the sword and arm one. In an instant, one hundred sword strikes are unleashed at high speed in eight directions.
Because each sword aura contains powerful destructive energy, it is named "Hundred Blades Break".
Dozens of blood lines appeared on Xue Niao's body, and then, like scattered building blocks, her corpse shattered into dozens of pieces, with blood and flesh splattering everywhere. Even the armor she was wearing was cut off by Li Wei.
The quest "The Sisters' Burial Grounds" is to be completed by Team 2 of the Reincarnators. The quest will not appear if the Blood Raven dies. Please return to Akara at Rogue Encampment to collect your team points.
The same message appeared on the Yellow Paper of all six reincarnation teams. This time, some were happy and some were sad. The happy ones were naturally Zheng Yutong and the others who were still on their way to the Stony Field, while the reincarnations of the other teams were panicked.
"Captain, team number 2 beat us to it!"
In the wilderness, a team of reincarnators had just discovered the entrance to the Den of Evil. One of them looked at the clue on the Yellow Paper with an angry expression.
"We need to step up our game too, otherwise, if we end up at the bottom of the standings, no matter how strong we are, we'll just be eliminated!" The team leader led the charge into the cave.
Also in the Stony Field, a small team of four reincarnators stopped.
"Did you see that?"
"Hmm, Team 2 did a great job!"
"The thief seemed to be following group number 2. Why didn't he stop him, or kill the Blood Raven first?"
"Hehe, there's only one possibility: there's someone even stronger than the thief in that team. But you know the thief; he won't give up halfway. This Team Number 2 will soon be killed by a terrifying assassination attempt!"
In the Blood Moor and the Cold Plains, the same dialogue continues.
However, for the reincarnator team in the Burial Grounds, this news brought them to the brink of collapse, or rather, they had already collapsed.
The task was almost completed, but someone interfered and snatched it away. No one could tolerate such humiliation.
"Fuck your mother, you over there kid, are you tired of living? You dare steal our mission, I'll send you to the Western Paradise right now!"
In this squad, a burly, hot-tempered man roared as he charged at Li Wei, wielding a long-handled giant axe.
"Get out of my way if you don't want to die!" Li Wei didn't even glance at the other person.
A dozen or so people have been locked in a stalemate with a mere Blood Raven of the Guiding Rank for so long; it seems this team of Reincarnators isn't exactly strong enough to snatch anything.
The burly man, however, was filled with murderous intent. He charged forward recklessly, but suddenly stopped just two steps away from Li Wei.
In that instant, a sharp clang of weapons clashing rang out, and a gust of wind rose beneath his and Li Wei's feet.
"Oh no, the barbarians are in danger!"
The big man's teammates were a step too late.
The same "Hundred Blades Slash" yielded the same result.
A large cloud of blood mist erupted, and the burly man was reduced to dozens of pieces, his bloody head falling to the ground. Even in death, he hadn't seen when the man had made his move.
None of the remaining reincarnators dared to step forward; the death of their companion had completely terrified them.
The strongest were only at the Induction level, and the weakest were only at the Digging level. In Li Wei's eyes, this team of reincarnators was no different from a bunch of lambs to the slaughter.
Li Wei no longer cared about killing people; this place was, after all, a world where people ate each other.
In order to survive, if you don't kill others, others will kill you.
Just like Zheng Chenglong's death, the weak are always lambs in the eyes of the strong.
Li Wei will not be a lamb; he will become a wolf that hunts lambs. And to become a wolf, one must first be ruthless!
Just then, Li Wei felt a fluctuation behind him. Instead of being surprised, he was delighted, and a smile appeared on his lips, "Finally couldn't hold back anymore?"
Behind him, a dagger flashed and stabbed towards Li Wei's back.
It's Undead thief!
After disappearing using his super-stealth ability, he followed Li Wei closely, but this time he dared not get too close.
Li Wei's palm strike caused him considerable injury and made him realize that there was already an irreconcilable hatred between him and this young man.
Since it's an enemy, and a place that constantly wants to kill you, the best course of action is to kill the enemy first.
Thus, the Undead thief began to look for an opportunity.
Just now, after seeing the young man's aura weaken after killing the Blood Mother and the big man, he immediately realized that this was an opportunity.
He hadn't seen the sword technique clearly, but this kind of advanced sword technique, driven by true qi and muscle strength, required a lot of physical strength.
What others might not know is that, as a thief, his greatest skill was observation. The young man's heartbeat, blood flow, and weakening breath all told him that this was the perfect opportunity to kill him.
When an opportunity arises, don't let it slip away easily.
So the thief made his move. Of course, he was prepared for two possibilities: if the ambush failed, he would immediately disappear from the battle area.
This tactic has earned him the title of "King of Assassination"!
In addition to his mortise-level combat strength, special stealth skills, and assassination methods, no one he targets has ever survived.
This time, however, he was wrong, terribly wrong. Making a mistake at this moment meant death!
