Bringing in Reinforcements

"Not good!"

White-Brow 'Li Wei' vanish like a phantom, Bai Mei knew he'd been tricked. The chilling killing intent emanating from behind him made him curse inwardly, 'What a despicable brat!'

Looking behind White-Brow, Li Wei had appeared there at some point, surrounded by countless longswords—the same 'Ten Thousand Swords Art' killing move from before.

"Now let's see how you dodge!" Li Wei roared, made a hand seal, and sent a thousand longswords raining down on White-Brow like a storm.

Not only that, Li Wei also activated the 'Spatial Cage' special skill. White-Brow was caught off guard and was trapped in the cage. It was too late for him to escape before the thousand long swords came crashing down on him.

"What a clever trick, what a scheme!" White-Brow gritted his teeth in hatred. In desperation, he summoned a golden round shield. The golden shield radiated golden light, clearly not an ordinary item. White-Brow a single incantation, the shield suddenly enlarged, protecting him from all sides.

The longsword clashed with the round shield, breaking the sword and damaging the shield. Under the barrage of attacks from a thousand longswords, the golden light on the small golden shield dimmed instantly, and the once radiant shield was severely damaged. This series of collisions completely destroyed White-Brow's magic weapon.

"I'll kill you!" Seeing his protective magic weapon destroyed, White-Brow's face flushed with anger, and his eyebrows trembled wildly. Clearly, the destroyed golden shield was extremely important to him.

"Stop talking nonsense, take this!" Seeing that his first move failed, Li Wei immediately followed up with a second. He unleashed more than a dozen palm strikes in a flash, all of them 'Extreme Cloud Piercing Palm'. More than a dozen huge golden palm prints slammed towards White-Brow, creating an extremely terrifying effect.

White-Brow was already mad with rage, determined to kill Li Wei, and he attacked without mercy. He also unleashed more than a dozen palm strikes to meet Li Wei's attack.

Suddenly, bursts of brilliant light erupted in the air as their palms clashed, churning the air around them. Li Xiaoyao and Lin Yueru, watching from afar, were utterly astonished, thinking to themselves that these two opponents were truly monstrous.

However, the disparity in combat strength was now clearly evident. After a series of palm strikes, Li Wei felt that his strength had been exhausted, while White-Brow still had plenty of stamina. If they continued to fight like this, Li Wei knew that he couldn't last much longer.

Just now, relying on the Mirror Image, Li Wei successfully launched a sneak attack on White-Brow. However, the opponent's strength was too great. Apart from destroying one of Bai Mei's magical artifacts, Li Wei did not cause any substantial damage to White-Brow. On the contrary, White-Brow gradually revealed the advantage of his combat power. If this continued, Li Wei would have no choice but to use Shifting Forms and Changing Positions to escape.

Thinking of Shifting Forms and Changing Positions, Li Wei suddenly had a flash of inspiration and a plan popped into his mind.

Seeing Li Wei in a White-Brow, Bai Mei suddenly unleashed a palm strike, but it missed its target. Li Wei had already used his Shifting Forms and Changing Positions and disappeared from the spot.

"Shameless brat, don't you dare run away!" White-Brow roared angrily, his masterly demeanor completely gone at this moment.

Meanwhile, Li Wei escaped the Demon- Demon-Locking Tower by Shifting Forms and Changing Positions, and only he knew where his destination was.

In a sudden spatial shift, Li Wei found himself in a courtyard. However, the courtyard was not empty; instead, it was filled with people holding long swords.

Most of the people in the group were young men. They stared in astonishment at Li Wei, who was covered in blood and whose clothes were tattered from the battle. They were speechless for a moment.

After a moment, one of the leaders finally mustered up the courage to ask, "Who are you? Why have you trespassed into my Mount Shu training ground?"

Mount Shu?

Upon hearing this, Li Wei jumped up excitedly and shouted, "Luckily, I didn't remember the place wrong! Quick, quick, take me to see your sect leader!"

Everyone present looked at Li Wei with expressions as if they had seen an idiot. Indeed, anyone who saw a guy dressed in tattered clothes, covered in dirt, and looking like a madman shouting that he wanted to see the sect leader would have the same reaction.

The man who spoke first glanced at Li Wei and said disdainfully, "See the sect leader? You think you can?"

Li Wei had no time to waste on him. He knew that once he left the Demon-Locking Tower, White-Brow would definitely cause trouble for Li Xiaoyao and Lin Yueru. The two of them probably wouldn't last long, so he had to get back as soon as possible.

So, the guy who spoke got into trouble. Without saying a word, Li Wei walked up and slapped him twice. The handsome guy, who was holding a long sword and looked incredibly dashing, screamed, covered his mouth, and fell to the ground.

Li Wei's combat strength reached S4, so dealing with an ordinary Mount Shu disciple was a piece of cake.

Seeing their own people being attacked, the other Mount Shu disciples erupted in chaos. Some brandished their longswords and attacked Li Wei, while others took out a small sword, made a sword incantation, and the small sword shot into the sky with a 'whoosh' before exploding like fireworks.

"This must be the signal sword used when we encountered enemies at Mount Shu," Li Wei guessed.

Li Wei naturally wouldn't stop them, but of course, he wouldn't really do anything to these Mount Shu disciples either, since he came here this time 'to ask for their help'.

As expected of a renowned immortal sect, Mount Shu reacted extremely quickly. In less than a minute, Li Wei saw several sword lights flashing across the sky like lightning. Li Wei was very familiar with those sword lights; they were none other than the Shushan Sword Control Technique. However, each sword light was dazzlingly bright, indicating that the person controlling the sword had extremely profound cultivation. When the sword lights landed on the ground, Li Wei's face lit up with joy upon seeing who it was.

Clearly, he knew all of these people who came.

The leader, dressed in a white Daoist robe, with white hair and a youthful face, had robes that fluttered even without wind. A long cyan sword floated in the air behind him, and he exuded a sharp sword aura. He was none other than the Sword Saint, the head of the Mount Shu Sect. Although his combat strength was not clearly visible at the moment, judging from his aura, he was in no way inferior to the White-Brow Daoist Venerable. Li Wei breathed a sigh of relief upon seeing this, secretly confirming that his deduction was correct. As the difficulty of this story world increased, the combat strength of the characters also rose accordingly.

The other two were also acquaintances of Li Wei. One was the eldest disciple of Mount Shu, Chang Kong Changkong. His combat strength was also unknown, but Li Wei deduced that he should only be slightly stronger than himself, around S5 level.

The last person was the long-absent Wine Sword Immortal.

He still looked as disheveled as ever, but Li Wei was no longer the naive man he once was. The hidden aura of the Wine Sword Immortal showed that he was not as bad as he appeared. If they really fought to the death, he might not be inferior to his senior brother, the Sword Saint.

These three were the most elite fighters of Mount Shu. Seeing them, Li Wei finally felt completely relieved.

"Huh, who are you?" The three of them were taken aback when they saw Li Wei.

Without a doubt, they all recognized Li Wei. Li Wei was also puzzled by this. Logically speaking, his current appearance was completely different from when he first met them, but Li Xiaoyao had obviously recognized him in the Demon-Locking Tower.

At the time, Li Wei was in the midst of a fierce battle with White-Brow, so he had no time to pay attention to these things. But now, the fact that the three Wine Sword Immortal still recognized him was quite unusual.

For some reason, Li Wei suddenly thought of the host in the theater. If anyone could make Li Xiaoyao and the Wine Sword Immortal recognize him, no one but the host would have that ability.

However, this clearly violates the 'rules' of the mission world, unless he can modify the rules of the story world... Thinking of this, Li Wei's mind went blank, and a possibility came to mind. For some reason, a layer of cold sweat seeped out on his back.

He dared not think about this question any further. In Li Wei's memory, there was only one person who could modify the rules of the mission world.

Looking at the Sword Saint again, he snorted angrily. The azure sword on his back seemed to emit a sword cry as if it were a spirit, and then floated in front of the Sword Saint: "It's you? I didn't expect you to be able to escape from the Demon-Locking Tower. You impersonated my junior brother's disciple that day, but you were actually plotting against the Demon Demon-Locking Tower. If I hadn't discovered your trick, it would have caused a great disaster. I didn't expect you to dare to come here today. I will kill you now and act on behalf of Heaven!"

As he spoke, he was about to unleash his sword technique, but Chang Kong looked at Li Wei with a pained expression. To be fair, he and Li Wei had some connection, and seeing his master about to make a move, he couldn't help but feel a little reluctant.

However, the Sword Saint ultimately failed to make a move.

"Senior brother, hold your hand!"

Upon seeing Li Wei, the Wine Sword Immortal recalled the events in the small village that day and quickly stopped the Sword Saint. He was aware of the incident where someone impersonated his disciple, but he hadn't expected it to be Li Wei. Now that he finally understood what had happened, he immediately recounted his encounter with Li Wei in the small village to the Sword Saint.

"So, this kid does know you, but why would he impersonate your disciple and sabotage the Demon-Locking Tower...?" The Sword Saint's attitude had clearly improved somewhat, but he was still wary.

"I don't know about that; you'll have to ask him yourself!" The Wine Sword Immortal casually tossed his hand.

Seeing that the Sword Saint and the Wine Sword Immortal were having a great time chatting, Li Wei could not wait any longer. If he waited any longer, Li Xiaoyao and Lin Yueru would probably die at the hands of the White-Brow Old Daoist.

So he walked over in a few steps and said urgently, "You two, stop talking! If you keep talking, the Demon-Locking Tower might really be destroyed by that evil Daoist, and Li Xiaoyao won't survive either!"

Li Wei's words clearly startled the Sword Saint and the Wine Sword Immortal.

"Who dares to destroy my Demon-Locking Tower?" the Sword Saint roared in fury.

"What happened to Li Xiaoyao?" The Wine Sword Immortal was also taken aback.

Seeing their reactions, Li Wei didn't care about anything else. He walked up, grabbed one of them with each hand, and immediately activated the Shifting Forms and Changing Positions. The three people's figures twisted and turned, and in a moment they were sucked into a black hole the size of a soybean. They disappeared without a trace in an instant, leaving only a horrified Chang Kong Zhenren and a group of Mount Shu disciples behind.
