Chapter 230: Hurry And Go, I’ll Deal With Jiang Ning
“I said, I’m not a Successor Level, even the Southern Territory Class A Eighth Ku Di is stronger than me.”
Li Weiyi shouted this loudly, his right hand thrusting out the Yellow Dragon Sword like lightning.
It was clearly a thrust, yet it formed three sword circles, stacked from countless sword shadows, the sword cry sharp and piercing, forcing the just-landed Ku Di to retreat, nearly falling into the river.
Ku Di looked only seventeen or eighteen, her brows furrowing, not understanding what Li Weiyi had suddenly shouted.
She was a Seventh Sea martial cultivator, stronger than him, a Fifth Realm of the Five Seas Realm martial cultivator—wasn’t that very normal?
She should be the one surprised instead.
He had managed to resist her staff strike head-on, not only uninjured but with the power to counterattack.
“As expected, full of schemes! Deliberately claiming to be weaker than me to lower my guard.” Ku Di became vigilant.
After forcing Ku Di back, Li Weiyi immediately turned into a wisp of green smoke, using his fastest movement technique, stepping on snow without a trace, charging toward Qi Xiao and Shi Shishi who were fighting with Dao Truth on the river channel to the left.
From the corner of his eye, he saw Ji Di also heading in that direction.
“What a strange guy, his speed is even a notch faster than mine. It seems a year ago, the Li Weiyi whom Master encountered in Jiu Li City, whose karma couldn’t be seen through, is this Li Weiyi.” Ku Di thought to herself.
Li Weiyi arrived near the battlefield of Dao Truth, Qi Xiao, and Shi Shishi a step ahead of Ku Di and Ji Di.
He transported magic energy to his arm, then surged it toward the Yellow Dragon Sword.
His gaze and battle intent locked onto Dao Truth, the sword in his hand simultaneously emitting a long sword cry and a resounding dragon’s roar, slashing out with a momentum that swept the sky and earth.
The sword qi stretched over ten meters, crossing the void to land on Dao Truth.
Only by first eliminating one Truth could the two sides have a real fight next.
“Sizzle!”
The sword qi shattered everything in its path.
Dao Truth’s protective magic energy and battle intent were broken by a single sword, his heart filled with terror, sensing death imminent, his whole body turning ice-cold.
A powerful will to survive erupted.
Dao Truth chose to rely on the magic tool monk’s robe on his body to hard-resist Qi Xiao’s blade, then disregarding his internal injuries, he used his movement technique to flee toward the opposite riverbank.
Li Weiyi’s sword followed like a shadow, pursuing the qi.
His speed was much faster.
“Clang!”
In mid-escape, Dao Truth heard the sword cry close behind his ear, immediately turning to strike out with a palm.
The palm force had not yet erupted…
The Yellow Dragon Sword had already pierced his brow.
“Pfft!”
The next sword severed his head, which was stuffed into a bag.
Blood dripped from the sword tip!
Li Weiyi’s gaze was cold and sharp, staring at the three Truths who had caught up: “Dao Truth is dead, are you sure you still want to continue fighting?”
Too sudden!
No one had expected Dao Truth, who had survived a hundred battles without dying, to be killed by Li Weiyi with two swords.
Ten steps away, golden flames surged from Ji Di’s pupils, his hands clenched into fists, rage boiling within: “It was my strategic mistake, shouldn’t have split into four routes to encircle, didn’t expect the enemy to have three, and one of them a Successor!”
“I’m not a Successor! Dao Truth died under our three’s siege, he had already been gravely injured from hard-resisting Qi Xiao’s blade earlier.” Li Weiyi felt everyone was hyping him up to kill him.
Nirvana Truth wore a tiger-skin kāṣāya magic tool, revealing sharp teeth: “We must avenge Dao Truth, at least kill one of them… Shi Shishi then, he’s the weakest.”
“…” Shi Shishi said.
Li Weiyi didn’t want to fight, feeling that continuing would definitely attract other masters. He said: “Let’s call a truce here! If you want revenge, we may be hard to beat, but you’ll lose at least one more Truth.”
Nirvana Truth looked at Ku Di and Ji Di: “Eastern City is now all ours, he’s scared, afraid of being pinned here by us, drawing even more terrifying masters.”
Ku Di and Ji Di nodded lightly, finding his analysis reasonable.
“Not good!”
Qi Xiao looked at the map inside the invitation, his face turning extremely ugly in an instant, voice trembling: “Someone with a Longevity Pill Voucher has arrived nearby… big trouble…”
“What?”
Li Weiyi and Shi Shishi both felt their scalps numb, tensing up, scanning the surroundings.
Those who could hold Longevity Pill Vouchers were all from the top ten masters.
Hua Yuzi among the top ten could only rank near the bottom, having obtained only one Longevity Pill Voucher from Du’e Temple.
Twenty Longevity Pill Vouchers:
Top three, each with three.
Fourth to seventh, four people each with two.
Eighth to tenth, three people each with one.
The number of Longevity Pill Vouchers divided the top ten masters into three tiers.
…
Tonight the wind was fierce, blowing the trees and grass by the riverbank rustling ceaselessly.
Nirvana Truth sneered: “Only now realizing fear, isn’t it too late?”
“Clop clop!”
A Hundred Character Scripture Magic Tool carriage, pulled by three green flame soul horses, slowly approached the river channel from the long street behind the three, blocking their retreat.
The smile on Nirvana Truth’s face gradually faded.
Because he discovered the arrival wasn’t that one from the Far West Ash Region.
Tonight the Imperial Court, Far West Ash Region, Snow Sword Tang Court were indeed joining forces to attack the Eastern Territory, but to naively treat the other two as allies would be a grave mistake.
From the carriage, Jiang Ning’s melodious voice like heavenly music rang out: “Which of you killed Dao Truth?”
Hearing this voice, Nirvana Truth’s face lost all smile, nearly crying.
It must be known that back in the Nether Realm of the Dead, when Jiang Ning was pursuing Long Ting, it was Yuwen Tuozhen, Nirvana Truth, and Dao Truth who ambushed her, wounding her and poisoning her with Night Emperor Toad Poison, after which she was pursued from the Nether Realm of the Dead all the way to Qiu Prefecture.
This grudge was not small!
Shi Shishi and Qi Xiao exchanged a glance, not daring to breathe.
Li Weiyi seemed thoughtful, raising his voice: “Roughly it can be said, died under this Li’s sword.”
“And Yuwen Tuozhen?” Jiang Ning asked again.
Li Weiyi looked at Qi Xiao.
Qi Xiao had a mournful face, regretting chopping that blade too quickly earlier, lacking Li Weiyi’s boldness to admit it.
He hadn’t seen Jiang Ning, didn’t know who was in the carriage. But anyone who could hold a Longevity Pill Voucher was absolutely beyond what he could provoke, likely able to take his life in a few moves.
Shi Shishi recognized Jiang Ning’s voice, but in Zangxian Town he had ambushed Jiang Ning and pursued Zhuang Yue, naturally terrified in his heart.
The carriage arrived ten zhang away.
The voice from inside rang again: “Yuwen Tuozhen, Dao Truth, Nirvana Truth are all enemies I must personally kill. You’ve killed two of them, then who should I kill?”
Li Weiyi pointed forward: “Nirvana Truth is still here!”
“You…”
Nirvana Truth glared angrily at Li Weiyi, leaping onto the back of a five-zhang-long golden tiger light shadow, fleeing backward urgently.
“Roar! Roar…”
The carriage curtain lifted.
Five misty dragon souls flew out, winding through the air, condensing into a giant dragon with solid dragon head, dragon claws, and dragon scales.
The giant dragon swallowed the golden tiger light shadow along with Nirvana Truth into its belly.
Nirvana Truth screamed miserably, extremely shrill.
Ku Di charged toward the giant dragon, about to strike. But she saw Nirvana Truth explode with a bang, falling from mid-air, his body bloody like a lump of minced meat, already without breath.
“Roar!”
The giant dragon turned back into five misty dragon souls, rushing into Jiang Ning’s governor’s official robe.
At some point, Jiang Ning had already stood by the carriage, dressed in men’s clothing, the governor’s official robe outlining her figure perfectly, slender willow waist, ample chest, clearly heroic and handsome yet exuding an alluring fairy charm that stirred the heart.
Just standing there turned the surroundings into a pure and ethereal Immortal Realm, very tempting to approach and explore her.
However, with Nirvana Truth’s bloody corpse falling, everyone present felt their legs go weak, only wanting to flee.
“A Seventh Sea martial cultivator killed in one exchange, can we escape?” Shi Shishi wiped the cold sweat from his forehead, already mentally prepared to use his final trump card.
Qi Xiao said: “Her comprehension is too high, she must have cultivated the Awakening Dragon Art, borrowing the dragon soul power in the governor’s official robe, enough to rival a Dao Seed Realm martial cultivator. She’s the Imperial Court’s number two figure, next to kill will definitely be us. Brother Weiyi, quickly think of a breakout direction, or it’ll be too late to escape!”
…
Ku Di’s tranquil Buddha heart ignited: “Jiang Ning, tonight we are allies, you’ve gone too far!”
“Leaving him alive until today is already great mercy on my part. Ku Di, you’re not my match, leave now or I’ll take you down too.” Jiang Ning said coldly.
Li Weiyi saw it: beneath Jiang Ning’s city-toppling beauty was a tough personality that tolerated no sand in her eyes. Whether killing Sheng Qingyan or Nirvana Truth, she wouldn’t compromise with the situation at all.
Allies or our own people, as long as enemies, she would strike them down on sight.
“Brother Weiyi, you scared silly? I’m talking to you? How to break out… done for, she’s looking over…” Shi Shishi’s face changed, wanting to burrow into the ground to escape.
With Ku Di and Ji Di retreating, Jiang Ning’s gaze fell on the three of them.
Her eyes icy cold: “Ten-Meal Law King, I still remember the grudge from Zangxian Town. Qi Xiao, your Zuo Qiu Gatehouse is attacking the Governor’s Mansion right? Li Weiyi, what a Young Son of Heaven, daring to rob my enemy, then pay with your life.”
Li Weiyi felt Jiang Ning was being unreasonable, clearly unwilling to put their relationship out in the open, so he sneered: “If you want to eliminate me, just say it, why find such a laughable excuse? You two go first, I’ll block her.”
“If we go, we go together; if we die, we die together.”
Qi Xiao gripped his blades with both hands, body crouching low, preparing for a fight to the death.
“I still have a desperate trump card! The three of us together, no matter how strong she is, we can absolutely fight.” Shi Shishi said.
Li Weiyi scolded: “Nonsense, go now! You staying will only distract me.”
Qi Xiao saw Li Weiyi was serious, moved to tears: “Brother Weiyi, true feelings are seen in adversity… today I, Qi Xiao, finally know what loyalty and righteousness mean in this world…”
“Brother Weiyi, you saved her maid before, maybe you can talk… if you can’t beat her, definitely escape…” Shi Shishi said.
“Go now, he’s a Successor Level strong practitioner, without us dragging him down, he’ll have more chance to escape. We’ll find help… quick…”
Qi Xiao pulled Shi Shishi and fled.
The Patrol Immortal Envoy from Du’e Temple appeared by the riverbank, preparing to record the upcoming battle. She believed Li Weiyi should have the ability to escape from Jiang Ning.
But after waiting a while with no clash between the two, she could only close the booklet again.
Jiang Ning walked toward him, and within one zhang, sharply eyed him with magic energy transmission: “Right now there must be old generation strong practitioners watching here, within one zhang transmission, they can’t hear. I’m here on behalf of the Second Palace Master to recruit you, control your own gaze and expression.”
Li Weiyi sneered: “Want me to join the Imperial Court? You think tonight you’ve got me pinned? I can’t escape?”
Jiang Ning transmitted: “The Second Palace Master asked Yang Qingxi about you, Yang Qingxi spoke very highly of you. Perhaps genuine appreciation, but maybe also borrow a knife to kill, I don’t want to be the villain, but you should guard against her more yourself.”
“I know you’re full of rebellious spirit, very opinionated. Tried recruiting you several times without success, this time will also be futile, so I’m not persuading!”
“But as a friend, I have to tell you.”
“The Second Palace Master has two plans ready, your chance to join the Imperial Court is only tonight. Tomorrow at dawn, Ge Xian Tong will personally come to kill you.”
Li Weiyi tried his best to control the shock in his heart, not showing it on his face.
Shocked at the Second Palace Master’s ruthlessness, and shocked that Jiang Ning took such huge risk to inform him, naturally moved in his heart.
Jiang Ning said: “You’re absolutely no match for Ge Xian Tong! I pondered all afternoon, thinking of one way out for you.”
“What way out?” Li Weiyi said.
“I’ll personally kill you!”
Jiang Ning said: “In a bit, find a way to anger me, I’ll pursue and kill you. Head directly east, escape past the Outer City Wall, leave the Hidden Dragon Lantern Festival battlefield.”
“You’re here again to persuade me to withdraw! You know, beauties like you, every time you urge me to retreat, stirs my fighting spirit a bit more.” Li Weiyi spoke his true inner thoughts.
“Don’t joke around, listen to me, this is no laughing matter.”
Jiang Ning continued: “If you’re reluctant to part with the dragon bone and dragon seed! I promise you, after the lantern festival, I’ll think of every way to share one with you.”
“Dragon seed and dragon bone are limited in number, how to share without anyone knowing?”
Li Weiyi controlled his gaze, saying: “As a friend, you’ve done plenty, I’m very grateful. My master once said, in martial cultivation, anything can be lacking, even poor environment or starting point doesn’t matter, but fighting spirit must endure forever. Once a person loses fighting spirit and edge, they’ll never climb to the martial way peak.”
“Today, you name Ge Xian Tong, if I don’t fight and flee at the mere mention.”
“Then in the future, anyone can scare me off in any way.”
“Ge Xian Tong won’t spend much energy and time on me. The price willing to pay won’t be too high either. Jiang Ning, any enemy that can be escaped from isn’t that fearsome, there must be countermeasures. Don’t I still have one night?”
Jiang Ning said: “You want to hide? Or flee back to Southern City? Borrow Zuo Qiu Hong Ting’s power to resist Ge Xian Tong.”
“Who is Zuo Qiu Hong Ting?” Li Weiyi asked puzzled.
Jiang Ning more puzzled: “You still don’t know who Zuo Qiu Hong Ting is? Aren’t you on extremely good terms with her?”
Li Weiyi even more baffled.
Jiang Ning saw he truly didn’t know, so sneered: “Zuo Qiu Ting is Zuo Qiu Hong Ting, also Zuo Qiu Hong. She didn’t even tell you her real identity, and you still hope she can protect you?”
When Jiang Ning mentioned Ge Xian Tong, Li Weiyi was only briefly shocked before his fighting spirit and battle intent took over. But learning Zuo Qiu Ting was actually Zuo Qiu Hong Ting… no, Zuo Qiu Hong Ting, he was truly stunned, nearly unable to control his gaze.
This was deception from Zangxian Town all the way to Qiu Zhou Prefecture City.
Jiang Ning said: “When young, before the Small Field Edict, the world had no warfare yet. Fu Zhou and Qiu Prefecture bordered each other, Jiang Family and Zuo Qiu Gatehouse had excellent relations, I and she were childhood playmates, one of the few who knew her gender! Later, she probably entered the Zuo Qiu Hidden Sect.”
“Good, good, quite the player!”
Li Weiyi had already begun thinking how to get revenge, needed to have a good heart-to-heart night talk with Brother Zuo Qiu.
Jiang Ning secretly anxious for him: “You ah, having a chance is a challenge, no chance at all is suicide. You think facing Ge Xian Tong, you really have a chance to survive?”
