Chapter 213: Taking Action Personally
The five-zhang-long Golden Tiger light shadow could be called a colossus, its body blocking half the street.
“ Splash——”
Nirvana Truth’s body was several times larger than Li Weiyi’s, the magic energy surging from its body kicking up snow all over the street, energy fluctuations spreading over a hundred meters away,
many martial cultivators retreated, feeling that Li Weiyi’s cultivation was too weak, only by triggering that box of Thunder Law Profound Ice could he seize the chance for mutual destruction with Nirvana Truth.
This was too dangerous!
But there were also many martial cultivators, like Nirvana Truth, who felt Li Weiyi was strong on the outside but weak within, not daring to trigger the Thunder Law Profound Ice, merely bluffing.
Li Weiyi’s eyes stared fixedly at the incoming massive Tiger Claw light shadow, his thoughts calm and natural, right leg shifting back. All his magic energy surged toward his right arm, veins flickering in his flesh and blood, blood flowing through his vessels like Dragon’s Roar.
“Heaven-Overturning Palm Seal!”
A golden divine seal light shadow manifested with one palm struck out, clashing head-on with the Golden Tiger giant claw.
Dragon coiled seal body, engraved with ancient script, extraordinarily divine.
“Boom!”
Golden light exploded, turning into scorching energy ripples that burst in all directions.
Nirvana Truth was shocked, never expecting a Five Seas Realm Fourth Stage martial cultivator to strike such a wondrous palm technique? The power was tyrannical, no longer inferior to its own.
It immediately changed moves, body crouching down, claw attacking Li Weiyi’s abdomen.
Li Weiyi pulled out his right foot, which had been sunk by the previous claw strike, carrying gravel and magic energy, stepping forward like treading mountains and rivers.
“Buzz!”
With one foot landing, magic energy wove into a jade material ancient cauldron light shadow.
The cauldron body was huge and ancient, enveloping Li Weiyi’s entire body.
Nirvana Truth’s claw seal struck it, as if hitting a real cauldron body, its five fingers aching in pain, unable to contact Li Weiyi’s body.
“Break for me!”
Martial cultivators who could cultivate to the Seventh Sea had at least fifth order qi in their bodies.
Nirvana Truth’s combat power was formidable, its claw seal tearing the jade material ancient cauldron, just about to follow up with a second claw to penetrate Li Weiyi’s abdomen when…
An extremely dangerous sensation assaulted it!
Only to see, behind Li Weiyi, a female divine battle intent rose, long hair flowing, reaching three zhang tall, illuminating all directions. The famed supreme technique of Qiu Zhou Prefecture City, “Ci Hang Kai Guang Finger,” was unleashed and struck out.
The light beam flying from the fingertip was dazzlingly bright, energy intensely powerful.
One could imagine, once struck, even the strongest physical body would be penetrated.
Nirvana Truth’s heart trembled, immediately switching from attack to defense, releasing a tiger skin kāṣāya magic tool from its ancestral field, spinning rapidly in front of it. On the kāṣāya, various pendants clashed and rang, transforming into a formation.
“Boom!”
Nirvana Truth retreated over a dozen zhang before fully resolving the Ci Hang Kai Guang Finger Force.
And opposite, Li Weiyi still stood straight in place, his heroic poise unchanged. From start to finish, his gaze and expression remained the same, the arrow tip of the Profound Ice Arrow in his left hand still steadily pressing on the two invitation letters.
Time seemed to stop, the whole scene silent.
The snowflakes kicked up earlier slowly fell, countless people staring dazedly in place.
Not only the crowd of martial cultivators outside Qin Garden, but even the old guys on Taoli Mountain were the same.
This was far more shocking than Luan Sheng Lin You defeating Long Dian and Lu Cangsheng’s combined forces.
After a long while, from the Third Heaven came sounds of gasping.
An old man’s voice sharpened: “Isn’t he Five Seas Realm Fourth Stage?”
Hidden Lord knew Li Weiyi’s strength and helped cover: “Can’t you tell he broke through?”
“Right, battle intent three zhang tall, that’s Five Seas Realm Fifth Realm!” Zuo Qiu Ling said.
That old man said: “This is still abnormal… That Nirvana Truth is Seventh Sea, the Deformed Humanoid Race’s combat power already has advantage over mortals in the same realm, plus Golden Tiger battle intent augmentation, crossing two realms to contend equally? Does realm still have meaning?”
Another old man said: “Indeed too outrageous, even if he broke through, it’s only initial Fifth Realm of Five Seas Realm.”
Hidden Lord continued covering: “His physical body cultivation is very good, relying on physical body power. Moreover, extremely high martial arts comprehension, the techniques he cultivates are all ancient methods of the Jiu Li Clan.”
Zuo Qiu Ling sighed: “Such a genius, with such mind, you shouldn’t have let him participate in the Hidden Dragon Lantern Festival.”
Hidden Lord sighed, very helpless, having advised many times.
…
The Du’e Temple daoist robe woman who had appeared last night stood on a high tower a li away, writing down: “No bug state, can fight evenly with Coffin Mountain Nirvana Truth.”
After the shock and suspicion, countless top martial cultivators on site gave birth to killing intent, all feeling this youth could not be left.
Nirvana Truth even felt a humiliating sense of losing face, roaring in fury, wrapping the tiger skin kāṣāya around its body, body’s magic energy surging madly, attacking and killing once more.
Someone was faster than it.
It was Ku Di, the head of Coffin Mountain Four Truths.
Ku Di was Southern Territory Class A Eighth, a successor level figure, seeing that it wouldn’t be easy for Nirvana Truth to win against Li Weiyi, letting it continue would not only delay the battle but also invite mockery from under heaven’s martial cultivators.
The current situation required a quick battle and decision.
With so many of them gathered, if blocked by a Five Seas Realm Fifth Realm martial cultivator, that would be the greatest joke under heaven.
“Ku Di, a first rank master like you, making a move against a Five Seas Realm Fifth Realm martial cultivator, too unbecoming!”
Cang Li’s voice was deep and steady, aura calm, transmitting from within the garden.
“Splash!”
Pitch-black as ink nether mist surged out from the gateway, instantly covering the entire street block.
The air grew even colder, thick white frost forming on the ground.
In the mist.
Behind Li Weiyi appeared a ten-zhang-tall armored sheep-headed Ghost General, taller than the buildings in the entire street block.
Fire clouds burned in its abdominal cavity, aura domineering, after a long howl, its dozens-of-meters-long war halberd swung out, drawing strands of energy ripples in the air.
Nirvana Truth was scared soul flying and scattering, exclaiming in shock: “It’s it… it appeared again…”
Ku Di knocked Nirvana Truth flying, single-handedly hard-blocking the war halberd.
The stave in its hand spun rapidly, Buddhist Chants resounding through heaven and earth.
“Bang!”
The war halberd struck the stave, blasting Ku Di flying, crashing into the crowd, falling into a shop building.
The Ghost General roared in fury, spewing Du Ling Cold Fire from its mouth.
Martial cultivators from over a dozen large and small forces retreated once more.
A successor level strong practitioner, blasted flying with one strike. If the war halberd swept into the crowd of martial cultivators, how many heads would it harvest?
Who could have thought Cang Li still had such a foundation?
Many secretly felt fortunate, luckily they hadn’t forcefully charged into Qin Garden earlier.
Ming Nian Sheng whispered in Luan Sheng Lin You’s ear: “This should be the Ghost General that Qi Jin mentioned, released from a black flag. Looks like it was indeed Cang Li who saved Jiang Ning at Bing Zu Marsh back then. Young Esteemed One, this is somewhat unfavorable!”
Luan Sheng Lin You understood his meaning.
If Cang Li had saved Jiang Ning, their relationship must not be ordinary. If they cleared out the entire Jiu Li Clan today, Jiang Ning would likely push for cooperation between the Imperial Court and Zuo Qiu Gatehouse, and perhaps that Li kid’s prediction would come true.
An Imperial Court targeted by all righteous armies, he feared not at all.
But adding Zuo Qiu Gatehouse, and the deadly enemy Zhu Men from the Far West Ash Region…
That would be somewhat dangerous!
The Ghost General appeared, suppressing all enemies.
But Li Weiyi didn’t believe that this alone could deter Luan Sheng Lin You from retreating. Because arraying such a grand formation yet retreating without battle, how much mockery would they face, no different from routed defeat?
Luan Sheng Lin You was also carried along by their own momentum, with intent to retreat, but unable to.
Thus, in this interval, Li Weiyi shouted loudly: “The Jiu Li Clan suffered heavy combat power loss last night, knowing they can’t hold these two invitation letters. But unwilling to hand them over to enemies, please heroes hiding in the shadows step forth to save us. If you can shelter us for ten days, Longevity Pill, Dragon Seed, Dragon Bone all offered up.”
Many on site revealed mocking smiles.
Someone whispered: “Who dares save someone in front of the Young Esteemed One?”
Yuwen Tuozhen laughed loudly: “You were so unyielding and fearless earlier, I thought you had iron bones, didn’t expect, you’re also a fearful-of-death person.”
“Who isn’t afraid of death? I came to fight for a path to survival, not to compete who fears death less.”
Li Weiyi continued: “I laugh at Luan Sheng Lin You for lacking wisdom, Ge Xian Tong for lacking strategy. I hate the Eastern Territory’s two bugs defeated by Bright Moon Seven Stars Pavilion, backbone broken, unable to seize timing. Under heaven’s heroes are all in the Northern Territory.”
Able to contend with the Imperial Court and Far West Ash Region, currently only Snow Sword Tang Court in the Northern Territory, having taken five prefectures. Northern Territory’s young talents nearly all under its banner.
Note that the Jiu Li Clan’s overt strength couldn’t even hold one prefecture steady.
Even if Snow Sword Tang Court only gathered five or six young martial cultivators from each prefecture, plus Ten Million Gateways’ own foundation, dozens of top experts pressing down, Luan Sheng Lin You wouldn’t retreat even if unwilling.
Li Weiyi didn’t believe Snow Sword Tang Court’s young leader Tang Wan Qiu wouldn’t know the importance of last night’s battle, surely waiting for some timing.
Ming Nian Sheng’s eyes coldly deep: “This kid is truly brilliantly clever, pity Snow Sword Tang Court absolutely won’t act at this time. Neither the Imperial Court nor us have been hurt to the root, Tang Wan Qiu will surely continue to sit on the mountain and watch the tigers fight, waiting for better timing.”
“Since so clever, kill him first!”
Luan Sheng Lin You one hand behind back, one hand toying with Silver Spear, personally walking toward Li Weiyi standing in the street center. Green Luan and Qilin two kinds of battle intent manifested, mind power covering sky and earth pressing toward Li Weiyi.
Snowflakes accompanied, cold wind howling.
Countless martial cultivators revealed surprised expressions.
Luan Sheng Lin You didn’t conceal the intense praise and appreciation in its eyes: “Playing mind games, surviving in cracks, seeking life from desperation, you’ve done to the extreme, against other opponents likely already successful. But your luck is bad, opponent is me.”
“This under heaven ultimately decided by cultivation and strength, your chips too few, Snow Sword Tang Court looks down on, I also look down on.”
“But you should feel proud! Because too outstanding, making me unable to hold back killing intent, personally eliminating you, to eliminate future troubles.”
Luan Sheng Lin You clearly still ten zhang away, but Li Weiyi already felt unsteady on feet, like candle in wind, opponent one breath seeming able to blow him out.
Green Luan and Qilin two battle intent’s pressure, like two great mountains on his shoulders, making him unable to breathe.
To stand, no way to breathe.
To breathe, could only prostrate.
“Roar!”
The ten-zhang-tall Ghost General, erupted with Dao Seed Realm Martial Cultivator level power, war halberd slashing diagonally down, tearing open the battle intent suppression.
“Boom——”
Ground under Luan Sheng Lin You’s feet constantly shattered, mud and stone arching up, spreading to four directions.
What made people scalp numb with shock was, it merely lifted the Silver Spear in hand, blocking the war halberd, body only swaying slightly.
Li Weiyi’s pupils sharply contracted, no wonder Luan Sheng Lin You had a manner completely ignoring subsequent developments, this combat power too terrifying, completely able to penetrate all enemies in the city.
Perhaps, as Zuo Qiu Ting said, strong practitioners’ thinking indeed different.
To make them compromise, unless able to completely suppress them.
“Such a kid, dying by Young Esteemed One’s hand, wouldn’t that shake the world? I’ll kill him!”
Ming Nian Sheng’s copper-cast, two-meter-tall humanoid body shot out like an arrow, just pinching fist…
Dense flying sword sounds rang by the ear.
Only to see, on the broad street behind Li Weiyi, countless golden Flying Swords surged like tidewater, tearing open the nether mist, turning into a sword river, smashing head-on onto Ming Nian Sheng’s body.
Hundreds-of-meters-long street’s stone slabs full of crack sword marks.
At this moment, Ming Nian Sheng still three zhang from Li Weiyi, could only immediately release protective magic energy, resisting the golden sword long river.
“Da da!”
“Da da!”
…
Zou Wu exotic beast ran, head raised in long howl, charging straight toward isolated-and-helpless Li Weiyi.
Li Ling in red clothes, bare feet, heroically standing on Zou Wu’s back. One hand pinching rune finger seal, one hand holding reins, spiritual light flame erupting from brow making whole body burning, already reached Calamity Fire Realm.
