White Robes Stained Red (I)

Li Wei took out all the powerful healing cards he had on hand, a total of 17. It seemed like a lot, but in actual use, they were consumed very quickly.

The next person to use the healing card is Dugu Ningke.

Although her hidden strength was quite formidable, it was still no match for the fourth-form ferocious beast, and she was injured by the beast after just a few moves. Fortunately, Li Wei reacted quickly and almost immediately used a healing card.

A flash of light, Dugu Ningke was healed from her serious injuries. Having witnessed Yu Wentuo's case before, she wasn't too surprised, but she had already taken notice of Li Wei. She wondered what kind of treasure Li Wei possessed that had such miraculous effects.

She and Yu Wentuo, as the main fighting force, were hit by the ferocious beast every now and then, and Li Wei's healing card was immediately replenished. For a time, although the ferocious beast was powerful, it could not do anything to the four people in front of it.

However, this was not a long-term solution. Just as Li Wei was getting anxious, Yu Wentuo spoke up.

"Gentlemen, this demon is far too powerful; it is beyond the capabilities of the four of us. I have a technique that allows me to unleash ancient divine power to attack it, but it requires some time to prepare. Could you three please buy me a little time?" Yu Wentuo called out.

Upon hearing this, Li Wei knew that the other party was about to use their hidden strength. He had already used half of his healing cards, and at this rate, he probably wouldn't be able to kill the beast before running out of healing cards. Therefore, Li Wei naturally agreed with Yu Wentuo's suggestion.

Xue Lian'er naturally had no objections.

Dugu Ningke hesitated, clearly knowing what Yu Wentuo meant by "calling upon the power of the ancient gods." She had heard of that move before. The Xuanyuan Sword was one of the ten ancient divine weapons, representing the strongest power. What Yu Wentuo was talking about was relying entirely on the 'strongest power' of the Xuanyuan Sword to attack the ferocious beast.

This power is indeed formidable, capable of instantly annihilating thousands of people, but its weaknesses are equally apparent. If Yu Wentuo wants to utilize this power, he first needs at least several dozen breaths of preparation time. During this period, he cannot move or be distracted; any mishap will backfire on Yu Wentuo.

Secondly, after this move, Yu Wentuo will be unable to move for a period of time, making him a sitting duck. If they can kill the ferocious beast, that will be fine, but if they can't, they will have to protect the immobile Yu Wentuo, which will inevitably put them at a disadvantage and result in losses.

However, Dugu Ningke also knew that this was a last resort. Besides, she needed to hide her identity and couldn't make a sound, so even if she wanted to stop Yu Wentuo, she couldn't.

These thoughts flashed through Dugu Ningke's mind, but only a moment later, the four exchanged glances. Yu Wentuo then drew his sword and retreated a hundred feet away, letting out a loud shout as he began to prepare.

At this time, Dugu Ningke's burden increased, but fortunately, she had Li Wei's healing card, which allowed her to hold on for a while.

Without Yu Wentuo, Li Wei's Ink Dragon became the main meat shield, and the healing card was ineffective against this creature. So, in just a few breaths, the Ink Dragon was reduced to nothingness by the attack of the fourth-form ferocious beast.

Next, the ferocious beast suddenly pounced on Xue Lian'er.

"Oh no!" Li Wei exclaimed in alarm. Xue Lian'er was already standing at a considerable distance to avoid being attacked by the ferocious beast. After all, she didn't have the terrifying defensive power of Yu Wentuo and Dugu Ningke. She was afraid that if she were hit even once, she would be shattered to pieces.

Li Wei moved with incredible speed, quickly reaching Xue Lian'er's side. At that moment, the ferocious beast was less than a few feet away from Xue Lian'er. In a moment of urgency, Li Wei grabbed Xue Lian'er's hand, then activated his Shifting Forms and Changing Positions, instantly reaching a hundred meters away.

Xue Lian'er was also startled. She had no way to avoid it and thought she was going to die, but Li Wei saved her in the end. The look in her eyes when she looked at Li Wei was no longer blaming her. At the same time, she was secretly delighted. She thought to herself that although Brother Wei didn't acknowledge that he was Wei Bin and said that they would go their separate ways from now on, he still risked everything to save her when she was in danger. Didn't this prove that she still had a place in his heart?

With this idea in mind, my initial dissatisfaction with Li Wei vanished.

"So Lian'er is also very important to Brother Wei..." Xue Lian'er murmured with a happy expression, but Li Wei heard her.

Because of what had happened before, Li Wei had already made up his mind to take Xue Lian'er out of the mission world. And since the other party had mistaken him for Wei Bin, he would temporarily accept it. Moreover, he had indeed promised the vanished Wei Bin that he would take good care of Xue Lian'er for him, so he smiled and said, "Whatever Lian'er says, I will naturally protect you. Don't worry, leave everything to me."

Xue Lian'er's eyes reddened at Li Wei's words, her heart pounding with excitement, but she immediately returned to the battle. In the next minute or so, Li Wei used up his last healing card and even Shifting Forms and Changing Positions multiple times. Only then did Yu Wentuo shout, "I'm ready! Scatter!"

Upon hearing this, Li Wei and the other two quickly used their supernatural abilities to scatter in all directions. Seeing this, Yu Wentuo let out a wild shout, and the Xuanyuan Sword in his hand burst forth with dazzling golden light, which looked like the blazing sun from afar.

"Demon, I'll send you to hell!" Yu Wentuo slashed downwards fiercely, and the Xuanyuan Sword burst forth with a golden sword light, crashing down on the fourth-form ferocious beast with overwhelming force.

Even from hundreds of meters away, Li Wei could feel the power of the golden sword light. Without a doubt, this was the most powerful attack Li Wei had ever witnessed. Li Wei had no doubt that this sword could level an entire mountain range.

The fourth-form ferocious beast seemed to sense the powerful force and tried to dodge, but Li Wei suddenly used the Blood Control Method.

Although Li Wei knew that this Blood Control Method would probably be useless against this ferocious beast, it would at least delay its actions. Even if it only delayed it by a tenth of a second, it would still be a gain.

As expected, the ferocious beast, attempting to dodge, was blocked by Li Wei's Blood Control Method. Its movements were a beat too slow, and it was unable to evade the golden sword light. Consequently, it was struck head-on.

Boom

A blinding light burst forth, forcing Li Wei and the others to close their eyes. Immediately following was a blast of air pressure that made even Li Wei, with his S2 combat strength, lose his footing.

However, this also demonstrates the power of Yu Wentuo's sword strike.

Li Wei struggled to open his eyes, only to gasp in surprise. The once enormous beast had vanished without a trace. As the intense light dissipated, only a human figure was revealed.

"Guiguzi?" Li Wei's pupils shrank, only to find that the person appearing in the air was none other than Guiguzi himself. However, at this moment, his clothes were tattered, and his body was covered in blood, clearly indicating that he was seriously injured. His face was extremely ferocious, and his snow-white eyes revealed a fierce glint.

"I never imagined that someone could defeat my fourth form... cough cough!" Guiguzi vomited blood as soon as he finished speaking, and his body began to sway precariously.

However, he did not fall. On the contrary, the ferocity in his eyes as he looked at Li Wei and the other three intensified. "I have been defeated, but you won't get away with it either! Haha, all of you, die... Myriad Demons Devour Souls!"

Then, many blood-red runes appeared on Guiguzi's body surface, and to Li Wei's astonishment, blood actually seeped from those runes.

Xue Lian'er, standing beside Li Wei, paled drastically and hurriedly said, "This... this is the Myriad Demons Devour Souls! Brother Wei, let's go!"

Hearing Xue Lian'er's warning, Li Wei knew that Guiguzi's counterattack before his death was no small matter. However, Yu Wentuo, who was unleashing his strongest power, was still unable to move. If he left now, he might miss something.

Li Wei's eyes were fixed on the Xuanyuan Sword in Yu Wentuo's hand.

This kind of magical artifact is extremely rare and hard to come by. If you have the chance to obtain it, you should strive for it; otherwise, you will definitely not have the opportunity next time.

The fact that Yu Wentuo is unable to move at this moment presents the best opportunity.

Thinking of this, Li Wei quickly flew towards Yu Wentuo's location. Just then, Guiguzi opened his mouth and suddenly spat out a crimson round pill.

"This... this is a demonic core! He actually condensed a demonic core?!" Dugu Ningke exclaimed in disbelief, but she also hurriedly flew towards Yu Wentuo's direction, shouting at the same time, "Quickly take Yu Wentuo away! If his demonic core explodes, everything within a thousand miles will be destroyed! Run!"

Fear caused Dugu Ningke's voice to tremble slightly.

Before she could finish speaking, Guiguzi turned his gaze to Li Wei, his face filled with hatred. "It's you, brat, who has repeatedly ruined my plans. Today, I'll take your life first. Die!"

"Speak!" he said, and a crimson beam shot out from the crimson demon pill he spat out, striking Li Wei.

The crimson light moved with incredible speed, appearing behind Li Wei in an instant.

In fact, Li Wei also felt the crimson light that was enough to kill him, and he was equally horrified. When he tried to use Shifting Forms and Changing Positions, he found that the speed of the crimson light was extremely fast, and it was already less than half a meter away from him in an instant. Moreover, the crimson light had the power to temporarily lock space, and Shifting Forms and Changing Positions failed.

"It's over." In that instant, Li Wei only felt death. This crimson light was driven by Guiguzi using his life essence, making it unparalleled. Below the S3 combat power level, it was absolutely impossible to resist. It could be said that being hit by it meant certain death.

Li Wei never expected that he would ultimately be defeated by this move.

The next second, a white figure blocked Li Wei's path, and then a spray of blood splattered onto Li Wei's face.

The blood was hot, seeping into Li Wei's eyes and then flowing down his cheeks to his chin. As a result, Li Wei's vision was stained red.

In Li Wei's eyes, Xue Lian'er's white clothes had turned from pure white to red. Li Wei rubbed his eyes and wiped away the blood, only to find that Xue Lian'er's clothes were still red. Looking closer, he saw a large amount of blood gushing from Xue Lian'er's chest, and it was this blood that had stained her white clothes red.

"Lian... Lian'er?"
