Chapter 187: Going All Out
“The scent of ten nights of lingering affection, I don’t know if magic energy can cut it off. Why not hurry and find experts from your Jiu Li clan, like Cang Li?”
Shi Shishi really wanted to part ways with Li Weiyi right then, always feeling that walking with him would get him casually killed by Yang Qingxi. But thinking of Li Weiyi’s return at the Bright Moon Seven Stars Pavilion, leaving like this would be too disloyal!
Li Weiyi said: “With Zhu Huan dead, everyone is in danger, the top young experts will definitely restrain their sharpness, I’m afraid no one knows where Cang Li lives now.”
Qi Wangshu wiped the cold sweat from their forehead: “The experts we know are all in Southern City, the road from Western City to Southern City is the most deadly. Brother Bai Yuan, among the young experts of Zuo Qiu Gatehouse, are there any living in Western City?”
Qi Wangshu didn’t mention asking the older generation strong practitioners of Zuo Qiu Gatehouse to protect them, because Zhu Huan’s death was already telling everyone that the Transcendents had set the rules.
If the older generation strong practitioners could intervene, they would have acted to save Zhu Huan at the Bright Moon Seven Stars Pavilion.
If not, how could the Young Esteemed Ones dare to be so arrogant?
Zuo Qiu Bai Yuan smiled bitterly: “A month ago, all experts capable of attending the Hidden Dragon Lantern Festival have already moved into Southern City.”
Li Weiyi suddenly stopped: “We should split up, you two go first. If you want to lend a hand, hurry to Southern City and ask for helpers to come receive us, Li Weiyi would be endlessly grateful. I’ll take the Li Kun Street route back to Southern City!”
“Good, I’ll go to the wolf den to get people.”
As soon as Shi Shishi rushed out, Li Weiyi grabbed his clothes and yanked him back.
“Brother Weiyi, I’m a seriously injured person.”
Shi Shishi was about to cry!
Li Weiyi said: “It’s all your fault for your loose tongue, if you hadn’t said that out loud in public about grappling Yang Qingxi. She might not have decided to kill me at this critical moment. So this danger, you have to face it with me. Rest assured, if we escape alive tonight, I will surely reward you handsomely.”
“I’ll go get my brother.”
“I’ll go find the Successor.”
Qi Wangshu and Zuo Qiu Bai Yuan were not dawdlers, and knew they couldn’t be of much help against an expert like Yang Qingxi, so they quickly flashed away.
Shi Shishi said: “Brother Weiyi, actually I think returning to the seaside and swimming back to Southern City is also a good choice.”
Li Weiyi said: “No time, the seaside is too far. If magic energy can cut off the scent of ten nights of lingering affection, then all is well. If not, I estimate that no matter which direction we flee, she’ll catch up within half an hour.”
“You have no scent on you, take Li Kun Street and be ready to receive me at any time.”
With that, Li Weiyi rushed into the alley beside him, quickly changing his appearance and figure.
If tracking by scent, then make the route as winding as possible, create difficulty for her, and delay more time.
Li Weiyi darted through streets and alleys, broke into houses and leaped over roofs, always advancing with Li Kun Street as the central axis. At the same time, his eyes quickly searched for hidden sect markers.
Yin Shisan had once told him that near Li Kun Street in Western City, there was an important hidden sect outpost, this was another reason he sent Shi Shishi away.
“Fortunately didn’t return to Qin Garden, if Yang Qingxi found it there, that would truly be a disaster.” Li Weiyi thought to himself.
Shi Shishi was actually very loyal and didn’t flee alone, always keeping two streets’ distance from him. During this, he even bought a pancake the size of a washbasin, eating it while walking.
Time ticked away second by second.
Just as Li Weiyi felt the scent had long been isolated, perhaps overestimating Yang Qingxi, and leaped up from a deep alley, preparing to return to Li Kun Street to rendezvous with Shi Shishi.
As soon as he leaped onto the three-story high blue tile roof, he saw a veiled beautiful figure standing at the other end of the roof, waiting for his arrival.
That beautiful figure wore a green robe, her skin was flawlessly white as jade, her figure indescribably slender and alluring, accompanied by the snowstorm. Just standing gracefully there was a beauty to behold endlessly.
Li Weiyi admired her for a glance, then retreated decisively as if seeing a ghost, landing in shock back in the ten-foot-wide alley.
After fleeing five steps, he immediately stopped abruptly.
He drew the prepared Yellow Dragon Sword, his tiger-like eyes fixed dead ahead.
Sui Sect’s third-ranked expert, Yang Zhiyong, stood in the center of the alley ten zhang away, holding a war halberd wrapped in black cloth. Due to the rapid operation of magic energy in his body, his Pure Immortal Body shone brightly like a lamp.
They had met at the Bright Moon Seven Stars Pavilion, an old acquaintance!
Li Weiyi glanced back, and soundlessly, the veiled Yang Qingxi appeared at the edge of the roof behind and above him, standing like a green-robed immortal fairy in the ninth heaven. A colorful-winged bee insect flew above her head.
Her position was the highest vantage point in the surrounding area.
No matter which direction Li Weiyi fled, she could seal off his path at the first moment with faster speed.
Except the direction where Yang Zhiyong stood.
Now it was a matter of every second counting, Li Weiyi didn’t dare delay for an instant, and directly charged toward Yang Zhiyong. Only by breaking out at the fastest speed was there a slim chance of survival.
“Roar!”
Li Weiyi let out a long howl, using the sound to inform Shi Shishi.
Unexpectedly, Shi Shishi’s voice rang out at the same time, clearly also encountering a strong enemy.
Yang Zhiyong looked at the swiftly approaching Li Weiyi, merely snorted coldly, and a four-zhang-high battle intent rose behind him, as he fiercely swung the war halberd in his hand.
“Rip!”
The black cloth wrapping the war halberd instantly turned to powder, revealing the dazzlingly bright halberd blade inside.
This halberd strike contained the experience Yang Zhiyong had summed up from thousands of battles, combining real and illusory, advancing to cleave Li Weiyi with one strike, retreating to seal all his escape routes.
It could be said that Yang Zhiyong had no underestimation at all of this nameless junior who was still in the Spring Gushing Realm just months ago.
Li Weiyi only felt the magic energy surging from Yang Zhiyong’s body, condensed like liquid, turning the alley into a river channel.
The incoming war halberd seemed to possess some magic, always hovering over his head, no matter how he shifted, it couldn’t be changed, he could only watch wide-eyed as the halberd smashed down.
“Swish!”
A battle intent manifested behind Li Weiyi, breaking through Yang Zhiyong’s lock, his figure turning into thousands, using a strange movement technique to dodge past by stepping on the right alley wall.
Naturally, to seize this chance to rush behind Yang Zhiyong and flee far away.
Yang Zhiyong was shocked, never expecting the opponent to rely on a two-zhang-high battle intent to break through the suppression of his four-zhang-high battle intent.
But he was only stunned for an instant, the war halberd in his hand drawing a circle, like a long whip lashing toward Li Weiyi who wanted to escape along the wall.
Li Weiyi sighed inwardly, Yang Zhiyong was too skilled, offense and defense transitioned seamlessly, he could only meet it with a hard sword clash.
“Boom!”
Magic energy shockwaves erupted violently, the sound of metal collision deafening.
The alley didn’t collapse, the surrounding buildings had no damage, instead formation scripts rose up.
Zuo Qiu Gatehouse and Du’e Temple had turned Qiu Zhou Prefectural City into a formation world.
Li Weiyi’s figure flew backwards, retreating hurriedly to dispel the force, returning to his original position. His entire sword-holding arm ached as if it no longer belonged to him.
Yang Zhiyong was shocked beyond measure, looking toward Yang Qingxi: “Young Lady, are you sure he was still in the Spring Gushing Realm just months ago? This is simply impossible.”
Yang Zhiyong cultivated the Sixth Sea’s Pure Immortal Body, one of Li Zhou’s top ten young experts, yet Li Weiyi had nearly escaped from his defensive position, and after clashing hard with his halberd, could still stand.
Even if said Li Weiyi was a martial cultivator of the Sixth Sea, Yang Zhiyong would believe it.
Yang Qingxi said: “A two-zhang battle intent height, probably Fourth Realm of the Five Seas Realm cultivation.”
“A mortal of the Fourth Realm of Five Seas Realm couldn’t possibly withstand my earlier halberd strike.” Yang Zhiyong said.
Li Weiyi’s arm had already recovered, he certainly wouldn’t tell the opponent he was only Third Realm of the Five Seas Realm, striving to keep absolute calm, thinking of countermeasures.
Suddenly, he let out an arrogant cold laugh: “Yang Zhiyong, you shouldn’t be a Nine Springs Supreme Person, right? A Pure Immortal Body waste who only opened Eight Springs, receiving one of your halberds, how is that difficult? If truly one-on-one, who lives and who dies is uncertain.”
Yang Zhiyong’s greatest sore point was failing to open the Ninth Spring in the Spring Gushing Realm, being mocked by a lower realm martial cultivator, even with a steady state of mind, anger ignited.
Li Weiyi continued: “To be honest, this halberd of yours isn’t suited for alley fighting at all. Here, one-on-one, you will definitely lose to me.”
“Even in such a narrow alley, it can affect me killing you?”
Yang Zhiyong advanced step by step, his intent and momentum growing stronger, killing intent evident in his eyes: “Young Lady, give me a chance, within three moves, I will take his life!”
“After three moves, I will act.”
Yang Qingxi naturally knew Li Weiyi was delaying time, so wouldn’t give him any chance.
Yang Zhiyong was already in front of Li Weiyi, thrusting the halberd long, from the high-grade magic tool level halberd blade rushed out a house-sized beast head shadow, fangs and sharp teeth blocking the entire alley.
Li Weiyi no longer concealed any strength, the three battle intents he had cultivated appeared one after another.
With each additional one, the power fluctuations on the sword increased by ten percent.
“Boom!”
Grand Unity Opens the Sea struck out, shattering the beast head shadow.
Still no match in pure power, Li Weiyi retreated three steps. Wind whistled by his ears, he hurriedly struck out Overturning Hand Seal, clashing palm against the closing-in Yang Zhiyong again.
Palm force clash surprisingly ended in a draw, both exploding back simultaneously.
“Two moves already, is that all?”
Li Weiyi’s palm skin cracked open, blood dripping, but with minor accomplishment Golden Bone added, no major issue.
After being repelled by Li Weiyi, Yang Zhiyong quickly calmed down, knowing it was absolutely impossible to quickly kill this youth: “Young Lady, you’re right, if this child isn’t eliminated, my Sui Sect will perish by his hand. Let’s act together, quick battle quick decision.”
A frivolous loud voice came: “Oh my, is your Sui Sect’s martial virtue so lacking? Two top experts, to kill a martial cultivator who just reached Five Seas Realm, actually need to team up?”
Hearing Yin Eleven’s voice, Li Weiyi secretly breathed a sigh of relief, quickly circulating magic power to stop the bleeding, heal the skin wound, no longer needing to hope for that non-protecting Guardian Wife.
Yang Qingxi looked toward the direction the voice came from, only seeing a human-upper-body snake-tailed figure coming from the other end of the alley, gradually emerging from the shadows, revealing true form.
Seen during the Zangxian Town great battle, one of that group of mysterious people, suspected Jiu Li Hidden Sect expert.
Her tone clear and cold: “What, only you alone?”
Yin Eleven laughed: “Yeah! I was sleeping nearby, you know snakes hibernate, but he roared me awake with one shout, hurriedly put on clothes and rushed over. Didn’t wear pants, no choice, my figure makes clothes easy to buy, pants hard to buy.”
Li Weiyi said: “Really just you alone?”
“Only I can fight Yang Qingxi.” Yin Eleven couldn’t say too much.
Li Weiyi looked toward the green beautiful figure above the three-story eaves: “Young Lady Yang, do you think you can still kill me today?”
“Shouldn’t be difficult!” Yang Qingxi said.
“You hurry and go, I’ll hold them off.” Yin Eleven restrained the smile, utterly serious.
Li Weiyi’s eyes narrowed, staring straight at the bee insect on Yang Qingxi’s shoulder, if that bee insect wasn’t slain, even temporarily escaping would leave endless trouble.
He naturally knew Yin Eleven wasn’t Yang Qingxi’s match, but also Nirvana Truth level existence, the gap wouldn’t be too great.
“How about changing tactics! You first hold Yang Qingxi, wait for me to slay Yang Zhiyong, then we team up against her.”
Li Weiyi’s fingers touched the Insect Bag containing the Phoenix Wing Moth Emperor, preparing to activate some trump cards.
Yin Eleven was dumbfounded, thinking they misheard, what’s your cultivation, slay Yang Zhiyong? Even they, to kill Yang Zhiyong, would need after thirty moves.
