Chapter 115: One Hundred And Seven Meridians
Li Weiyi put away the bow and arrow, lifted that nearly two-meter-long war saber in hand, and charged down on horseback.
That Nine Springs Pure Immortal Body from outside the state, with ninety-three veins in his body, saw the lion-headed steed charging toward him, showing no fear in his eyes, and thrust his spear straight out.
Under the drive of Zu Tian Magic Energy, the spear tip shone with ten thousand zhang of golden light, countless spear shadows forming an impenetrable wall.
“Pu!”
A saber slashed down from the sky!
That Nine Springs Pure Immortal Body from outside the state didn’t even see where the saber came from before his body was cleaved in two.
Li Weiyi sprinted at top speed, face covered in dust, lifting his saber to kill toward another Nine Springs Supreme Person.
“Puchi!”
The saber blade swept horizontally.
The Nine Springs Supreme Person was cut in half at the waist like a scarecrow, his two halves of corpse flying into the sky.
The third Nine Springs Supreme Person finally reacted, turning to flee, already scared out of his wits.
Was this still Spring Gushing Realm?
“Want to escape?”
When he turned to flee, “Sima Tan” was clearly still ten zhang away, but just after turning and running three steps, the words “Want to escape” rang in his ear.
He was scared out of his soul, unable to stay calm, wildly swinging his magic tool weapon in hand.
“Pu!”
The head flew up.
The third Nine Springs Supreme Person fell, his headless corpse rolling down the hillside.
Killing Nine Springs Supreme Persons didn’t even require a second saber stroke, instantly shocking the entire field.
Yin Twenty-Five, caught in the chaotic battle, saw this scene, lips moving as he cursed a very dirty word only he could hear.
The remaining more than ten Seven Springs and Eight Springs martial cultivators on the hillside saw Li Weiyi’s eyes sweeping over domineeringly, scared to the point of being at a loss for what to do.
Like bloodline suppression, their legs trembled.
“You don’t even have the qualification to die by my hand!”
Li Weiyi sped toward Yao Yin’s location, where four Nine Springs Supreme Persons were gathered, including Yang Yun.
The more than ten martial cultivators felt like they had been granted a great amnesty, fleeing madly, only wanting to get as far from this place as possible.
Wherever Li Weiyi passed, each saber swing killed at least one person. The enemy forces on the battlefield gradually began to collapse in retreat, looking at him as if he were a god or demon.
The four Nine Springs Supreme Persons besieging Yao Yin naturally knew who “Sima Tan’s” target was, cold air rising straight from their hearts.
Yang Yun was the most decisive, the first to flee in the direction away from Li Weiyi, shouting: “Withdraw! Sui Sect disciples, withdraw quickly!”
No choice, a person who could kill even the Demon King’s sixth generation grandson with three saber strokes—Yang Yun didn’t think he could withstand one stroke.
Li Weiyi charged up, entering as if no one was there, catching up to one Nine Springs Supreme Person.
Saber rose and fell, blood splattering the earth.
The great rout began, various forces scrambling to retreat.
Li Weiyi targeted Yang Yun, planting the heavy war saber into the ground, then erupting with his fastest speed to chase after.
Yang Yun fled very quickly, already disappearing into the mist. But his aura and footprints were always there, and soon he was caught up by Li Weiyi.
“It’s over, it’s over, he’s caught up! Why is it me he’s chasing?”
Yang Yun exerted all his strength to mobilize Zu Tian Magic Energy, transporting it to his legs, but the wind in his ears grew closer and closer.
“Desperate fight!”
He suddenly turned, punching out, his fist bright like a silver star.
Li Weiyi easily evaded this punch, shifting to Yang Yun’s right side, fingers pressing on his shoulder. His five fingers merely exerted slight force, and the sound of bones shattering followed.
Yang Yun screamed miserably, collapsing into Li Weiyi’s arms, his right arm dangling down.
“Don’t kill me, I’m a direct lineage disciple of the Yang Clan, a Nine Springs Supreme Person—killing me comes at a great price.”
“Ka!”
Soon he let out a second miserable scream, his left arm also broken.
Yang Yun had thought he might be killed, but hadn’t expected the other to first cripple both his arms—this feeling… suddenly an old acquaintance came to mind.
“I can pay money to buy my life… I have money… I don’t want to die… spare me, I can give anything…”
Li Weiyi kicked and shattered his right leg knee.
Yang Yun’s body crashed heavily to the ground, pain nearly causing him to faint, body convulsing—that familiar feeling came again, just like reliving the same nightmare.
“Pa!”
The left leg was also broken.
“As expected…”
This last thought flashed in Yang Yun’s mind, and he directly passed out from pain.
“You want to buy your life again! Fine, at Eight Springs, it was worth one million silver coins. Now at Nine Springs, count it as two million silver coins. Altogether, you owe me three million silver coins and one carriage.”
Li Weiyi lifted Yang Yun, whose four limbs dangled off the ground, and returned to that wasteland battlefield.
Yao Yin and Yin Twenty-Five had already killed the other two fleeing Nine Springs martial cultivators. Seeing Li Weiyi return, they hurried over.
Yin Twenty-Five said: “Just kill this kid outright, no need to keep him alive.”
“He has great use.”
Li Weiyi threw Yang Yun to the ground, then a fragrant wind came, Yao Yin with red eye rims about to throw herself into his arms. But Li Weiyi clearly saw Cai Yutong, Gao Huan, and a group of young Jiu Li Tribe martial cultivators watching him with curiosity and awe.
Li Weiyi hurriedly rushed to one of the Nine Springs martial cultivators he had killed earlier, searching his bosom and taking out two stalks of Dyeing Cloud Exotic Medicine. Immediately after, he ran to another Nine Springs martial cultivator’s corpse to search, shouting: “Search together! All Dyeing Cloud Exotic Medicine found, hand it all to me first.”
Yao Yin didn’t believe Li Weiyi didn’t understand her feelings, lightly biting her lip, stamping her foot hard, then wiping away the tears in her eyes, going with Yin Twenty-Five to search those high-rank martial cultivators’ corpses.
Originally, Li Weiyi’s words were just said for Yao Yin and Yin Twenty-Five to hear.
But after experiencing two life-and-death battles, those young Jiu Li Tribe martial cultivators revered him like a god, handing over all the Dyeing Cloud Exotic Medicine they searched from enemy corpses.
Half a shichen later.
Li Weiyi stopped searching corpses and sat down to rest, already holding eleven stalks of Dyeing Cloud Exotic Medicine in hand.
The twelfth stalk was handed to him by Cai Yutong.
After several months apart, seeing her again, a warmth surged in Li Weiyi’s heart, his gaze softening greatly, completely devoid of his earlier killing aura.
Cai Yutong wore the Cang Li Tribe’s uniform white martial robe, her figure very tall, jade peaks erect, hips with graceful curves, but not a trace of vulgar charm on her body, eyes cold and clear. A veil covered her face, only revealing her slender neck and jade-like hands.
Her temperament had fully integrated into this world; it was unimaginable how stunningly transcendent she would be without the veil.
Li Weiyi didn’t plan to reveal their identities at this moment, but couldn’t help taking out a Radiant Flame Pill and handing it over: “You’re a mind master! Take this pill, consider it an exchange with you.”
Cai Yutong’s eyes under the veil had been watching him. After taking the Radiant Flame Pill, she said coldly: “Liked using someone else’s name, so I guessed it was you.”
Li Weiyi was startled and hurriedly released magic energy to envelop her: “Don’t speak carelessly, absolutely don’t expose my identity—it concerns something very major.”
Li Weiyi exposing his identity wouldn’t be the most dangerous for him.
It would be for Cai Yutong and Gao Huan.
Seeing Li Weiyi suddenly release magic energy to envelop Cai Yutong, Gao Huan, Yao Yin, and Yin Twenty-Five in the distance showed varied expressions but quickly gathered over.
Moments later, Li Weiyi withdrew the magic energy.
Cai Yutong quickly turned and left.
Gao Huan’s eyes held hostility as he glared at Li Weiyi. He knew about Doctor Cai’s relationship with Li Weiyi and hurriedly asked: “All those called Sima Tan are hateful—did he bully you?”
“No.”
Cai Yutong was a person of few words. She took out the Radiant Flame Pill, pinched it between two fingers to observe for a moment, then directly swallowed it. Immediately, her whole person became bright.
She too had developed an obsession with growing stronger.
“No reason to be overly courteous—it’s either adultery or theft.” Gao Huan muttered lowly.
Yao Yin naturally knew Li Weiyi and Cai Yutong were companions from their hometown, but felt Li Weiyi’s behavior today was different from usual, somewhat strange. Thus, she released a magic energy cloud mist, small face serious: “You shouldn’t have given her the Radiant Flame Pill. If someone guesses your identity from this, those two will face great disaster.”
“Got it!”
Li Weiyi responded thus, put away the twelve stalks of Dyeing Cloud Exotic Medicine, and changed the topic: “Killing leaders of so many forces at Spring Gushing Realm, yet so few Dyeing Cloud Exotic Medicines harvested. Yin Twenty-Five, didn’t you say there were many Dyeing Cloud Exotic Medicines? Is something wrong somewhere?”
Yin Twenty-Five said: “Actually, after everyone picks Dyeing Cloud Exotic Medicine, most swallow it immediately and don’t carry it on them. Including the Jiu Li Tribe martial cultivators present—those that can be preserved are naturally very few.”
Li Weiyi glanced at Yao Yin beside him, still puffed up: “Yin Twenty-Five, stay behind to protect everyone. I have an important matter to handle. You, come with me.”
Li Weiyi and Yao Yin each rode a lion-headed steed, following the Sui River upstream.
After running dozens of li, Li Weiyi reined in and stopped, jumping off the horse.
Yang Yun was bound on the horse.
Yao Yin dismounted gracefully and stood beside him, the displeasure in her heart already dissipated. Looking at Li Weiyi’s solemn profile, she took the initiative to apologize softly: “Sorry, I was a bit emotional earlier!”
Li Weiyi inexplicably felt a bit guilty, coughing dryly twice: “No need to apologize, I didn’t take it to heart. I have something very important to discuss with you. Your combat power shown earlier was extraordinary—how many veins have you cultivated?”
Yao Yin didn’t hide it, fully trusting him: “One hundred and seven!”
Li Weiyi was surprised—this number was extraordinary, matching Zen Sea Observing Mist. One must know, after exceeding Hundred Veins, each additional one wasn’t easy.
No wonder after breakthrough, she could fight a group alone.
“Against a First Realm of the Five Seas Realm martial cultivator, or an Earth Fire Realm great mind master—do you have confidence to hold them off?” He stared at the Sui River, killing intent emerging in his eyes, carefully calculating.
Yao Yin said: “The span of combat power in each realm is huge, hard to say.”
“You mainly cultivate Heavenly Wind Palm Technique, right?”
Li Weiyi took out the silver thread gloves and handed them to her: “This magic tool can boost your combat power by two or three tenths.”
Immediately after, he took out the ghost flag.
“Wrap this flag around your body—how to use it, no need to teach you, right?”
Yao Yin was extremely intelligent and instantly understood: “We’re going to kill back into the Five Seas Realm Boundary?”
“Not kill back—it’s revenge, to open the road between Zangxian Town and Yaoguan City.” Li Weiyi said.
…
Wang Daozhen, Chen Jingtang, and that Sui Sect Great Mind Master didn’t dare go back to report at all, unless Yang Yun’s side completely dealt with the Jiu Li Tribe’s Spring Gushing Realm martial cultivators.
Completing the mission would make reporting much easier!
The three guarded a place not far from the Five Seas Realm Boundary, all in heavy moods.
The short and stout Sui Sect Great Mind Master laughed: “You two don’t worry so much, making me nervous too. No accidents on Zangxian Town’s side this time—I calculated, just Nine Springs Supreme Persons are nearly ten. Not to mention large numbers of Eight Springs and Seven Springs.”
Wang Daozhen said: “No results soon, and we can’t hide it! With the current situation, going back to report—you should know the consequences.”
“How about pushing it onto those two mysterious women? After all, Master Liu was killed by them, and they took seven fierce insects.” Chen Jingtang said.
“That can only be used as an excuse—how shrewd is the leader, who can fool him?”
Wang Daozhen’s ears twitched, hearing hoofbeats from the Five Seas Realm Boundary direction.
The hoofbeats were very slow.
Wang Daozhen stood up, circulating magic power into his eyes.
His pupils turned silver, peering through the thick fog a hundred zhang away, seeing Yang Yun lying on the horse’s back.
The lion-headed steed carrying Yang Yun suddenly stopped at the Five Seas Realm Boundary position, not advancing further.
The Sui Sect Great Mind Master used mind power perception and also detected Yang Yun’s aura, expression grave: “It’s Yang Yun, he’s injured, very heavily—something’s off!”
“Could it be a trap?” Chen Jingtang said cautiously.
“So what if it’s a trap—what waves can a Spring Gushing Realm martial cultivator stir?”
Wang Daozhen’s eyes held only doubt, no fear: “My Nine-Talisman Treasure Robe has only two runes left, can’t support me reaching near the Five Seas Realm Boundary. Which of you will go pick him up?”
“I’ll go, my perception is sharp, not afraid of ambushes.” That Sui Sect Great Mind Master said.
Chen Jingtang stood: “I’ll go with you, better to be cautious. Who knows if Yang Yun escaped back heavily injured on his own? Or if someone wants to use this chance to slip back to Yaoguan City to report?”
After Sima Tan’s death, they wouldn’t even think of someone ambushing them, because no other Spring Gushing Realm martial cultivator had the guts.
