Chapter 228: You’re At Inheritor Level
Luan Sheng Lin You’s figure flickered, disappearing from the rooftop, heading straight for Eastern Territory’s First Expert Long Dian Long Zhe Xian.
“Hua Yuzi’s Flowing Silver Mask has a high rank, a Seventh Rank Hundred Character Scripture Magic Tool?” Li Weiyi said.
“One strike broke over ten formations, it must be!”
Qi Xiao nodded: “Hua Yuzi has a massive background, possessing Ancient Immortal Giant Beast bloodline, the elder strong practitioners behind his peak talent definitely gave him some good items for self-defense.”
That night on the seventh, Li Weiyi and Yang Qingxi had originally planned to kill Hua Yuzi with the first move.
The most dangerous first move, Hua Yuzi had blocked precisely with the Flowing Silver Mask.
Fortunately, from beginning to end, he never had the chance to activate the Flowing Silver Mask.
Of course, even if Hua Yuzi activated it, it wouldn’t be too heaven-defying. That earlier strike was activated together by over two hundred Five Seas Realm Martial Cultivators, allowing the Seventh Rank Hundred Character Scripture Magic Tool’s power to fully display.
With that strike, even a Dao Seed Realm Martial Cultivator would have to retreat.
Zuo Qiu Ting transmitted sound with magic energy into the darkness below the city wall: “Send the signal, have Zhu Yi Bai and the others move against the Far West Ash Region’s headquarters outpost. I want to see whether Luan Sheng Lin You continues to deal with Dragon Gate or withdraws to Western City.”
Li Weiyi understood Zuo Qiu Ting’s strategy!
Tonight’s battle was crucial; Zuo Qiu Ting was treating it entirely as a decisive battle.
If Luan Sheng Lin You broke through Dragon Gate, Zuo Qiu Gatehouse would strike the Far West Ash Region’s headquarters outpost.
If Ge Xian Tong broke through Lei Xiao Sect, Zuo Qiu Gatehouse’s other force would surely attack the Governor’s Mansion.
In this way, even if Dragon Gate and Lei Xiao Sect were eliminated, the strongest Far West Ash Region and Imperial Court would have their strength inevitably halved.
Achieving this, Zuo Qiu Gatehouse could become the biggest winner in the next three days.
Failing to…
The next three days would be extremely tough.
Victory or defeat depended on tonight.
Zuo Qiu Gatehouse controlled the most accurate intelligence network, so there would be no strategic misjudgment; the enemy’s strength distribution was completely transparent in their eyes.
“Long Dian is no match for Luan Sheng Lin You; he cannot die.”
Zuo Qiu Ting’s figure flew out, leaping down the city wall, instantly vanishing into the night curtain.
Li Weiyi asked: “Will Zuo Qiu Ting and Zuo Qiu Hong only save Long Dian and Lu Cangsheng tonight?”
Qi Xiao nodded: “Once everyone’s headquarters outposts are broken, it will ultimately come down to a showdown between top experts. Only by taking Long Dian and Lu Cangsheng under their command does Zuo Qiu Gatehouse have a chance of victory.”
Li Weiyi said: “Promise them a certain amount of Longevity Pills, Dragon Souls, Dragon Bones?”
“Exactly! In terms of keeping promises, the other three cannot compare to Zuo Qiu Gatehouse.”
Qi Xiao opened the First Rank invitation again; inside was a Dragon Bone Ticket: “Twenty Longevity Pill Vouchers, over half gathered in Eastern City tonight.”
“Ge Xian Tong has three, Luan Sheng Lin You four, Tang Wan Qiu four, Long Dian two, Lu Cangsheng one…”
Li Weiyi said: “Where is Snow Sword Tang Court positioned?”
Qi Xiao pointed to a position near the edge on the invitation’s internal map: “Snow Sword Tang Court is guarding the Outer City Wall, probably to prevent Dragon Gate and Lei Xiao Sect Martial Cultivators from carrying invitations to escape Qiu Zhou Prefecture City. In the end, Snow Sword Tang Court’s strength still has a considerable gap compared to Far West Ash Region and Imperial Court.”
Shi Shishi pulled out his own B-Grade Invitation, sighing deeply: “Weiyi bro, our two invitations have nothing on them, just like waste paper.”
“Can’t wait anymore?” Li Weiyi laughed.
Shi Shishi said: “At least get one Dragon Bone Ticket tonight, then we can lock onto all ticket positions in the city.”
“Swish!”
From the direction of Dragon Gate’s outpost, a bright white glow rose.
A Hundred Character Scripture Jade Boat soared up, wrapped in white Magic Energy Cloud and mist, charging straight out of the city, instantly flying over the heads of Li Weiyi and the other two.
Below the Jade Boat, Far West Ash Region’s invitation-holding experts each displayed their supernatural powers, using movement techniques to chase on the ground.
The three immediately jumped down the city wall and hid.
Qi Xiao opened the invitation: “On the Jade Boat, there are fully five Dragon Seed Vouchers and six Dragon Bone Tickets. On the ground, the pursuing Far West Ash Region Martial Cultivators… Dragon Seed Vouchers and Dragon Bone Tickets together exceed twenty.”
“Experts like clouds! First Rank, Second Rank, Third Class, B-Grade, not a single weakling, yet they appear in droves.” Shi Shishi said.
Li Weiyi said: “Fish in troubled waters, rare opportunity, so tonight we’ll first help you seize Dragon Bone Tickets and Dragon Seed Vouchers.”
Qi Xiao immediately patted his chest in promise: “If you can help Qi obtain a Dragon Seed Voucher, it’s like rebirth parents; from now on, whatever the two of you say, Qi Xiao will brave mountains of blades and seas of fire to attend.”
On the Outer City Wall, Snow Sword Tang Court’s six Seventh Sea Martial Cultivators joined hands to activate a giant sword, slashing down Dragon Gate’s Magic Tool Jade Boat.
Tang Wan Qiu stood at the top of the city wall, cupping fists with a smile, proclaiming loudly: “Five Dragon Seed Vouchers, six Dragon Bone Tickets, if everyone stays, Wan Qiu will immediately let you pass. Dragon Gate is already defeated; no need to fight desperately. We’re all Righteous Army; the Imperial Court is our common enemy.”
Seeing they couldn’t escape the city, the dozens of Dragon Gate experts on the Magic Tool Jade Boat immediately scattered and fled in all directions.
Tang Wan Qiu’s face darkened, saying: “Pursue!”
Li Weiyi took in the entire night’s battle situation, feeling something was off but unable to pinpoint it for the moment. Thus, he told this feeling to Qi Xiao and Shi Shishi.
Shi Shishi said: “Don’t overthink it; tonight the whole city is fighting, major powers openly and covertly struggling, relationships intricate and complex. Not just us few, even the leaders of the major powers who racked their brains for tonight’s battle can only take it one step at a time. Kill until the battle ends for a clear result.”
“Ah…”
A low miserable scream rang out on the street near the three.
Li Weiyi stood in the shadows under the eaves, concealing his aura, looking toward the wide street.
He saw.
Night City’s Young Master Yuwen Tuozhen riding a Night Scale Giant Beast was pursuing and killing a Dragon Gate Martial Cultivator; one chasing, one fleeing, both using long spears as magic tools.
Every clash of long spears sent large ripples of energy spreading out, shaking the snow accumulated on streets and rooftops into the air.
Buildings on both sides of the street were all shrouded in Formation Light Gauze, flickering on and off in their magic battle.
That Dragon Gate Martial Cultivator was already severely injured, with a bloody hole in his chest.
“It’s Southern Territory Second Rank Fifth Yuwen Tuozhen, and Eastern Territory Third Class Fourth Long Jingsong.”
Qi Xiao looked at the invitation in his hand, his eyes heating up: “One Dragon Seed Voucher, two Dragon Bone Tickets. Good opportunity!”
“Pfft!”
Yuwen Tuozhen flew up from the Night Scale Giant Beast’s back, his blood flowing like a dragon’s roar, the magic tool long spear in his hand stained with Night Emperor Toad Poison, fast as lightning, piercing through Long Jingsong’s neck.
“Eastern Territory Third Class is nothing special; placed in Southern Territory, it can only rank B-Grade.”
Yuwen Tuozhen sneered coldly, squatting down to search the corpse. Just as he took Long Jingsong’s invitation, his face suddenly changed; his body’s magic energy turned into a layer of force wave, surging madly behind him.
Qi Xiao held a broad-backed war saber, flying above behind Yuwen Tuozhen, slashing out a bright blade light several meters long.
Yuwen Tuozhen’s released magic energy force wave was broken by the blade light.
“Bang!”
The long spear in his hand thrust out.
Due to hasty blocking, Yuwen Tuozhen was shaken back several steps. Seeing the attacker, he immediately shouted coldly: “Qi Xiao, for a Dragon Seed Voucher, are you throwing away your life?”
“For a Dragon Seed Voucher, who isn’t risking their life?”
Qi Xiao’s second saber slashed out; a five-zhang-tall battle intent manifested behind him.
Both were Five Seas Realm Great Perfection Pure Immortal Bodies, but one was Southern Territory Second Rank, the other Southern Territory Third Class.
In an instant, they had already fiercely fought dozens of moves.
Shi Shishi seized the opportunity, drilling out from underground behind Yuwen Tuozhen, punching his back heart.
Succeeding with one strike, he immediately retreated far.
Yuwen Tuozhen forcibly took Shi Shishi’s punch, then hard-blocked Qi Xiao’s saber, quickly fleeing rightward, landing on a rooftop, blood trickling from the corner of his mouth; he gritted his teeth, vigilantly scanning surroundings.
Shi Shishi was already waiting on the rooftop, blocking his path, laughing: “Young City Lord, confident against two?”
Yuwen Tuozhen forcibly suppressed his injuries; the crescent moon mark on his brow lit up, a variant battle intent manifesting.
It was a five-zhang-long brilliant crescent moon, hovering above his head behind him, magic energy cloud and mist flowing around the crescent moon, infinitely divine.
He snorted deeply: “Shi Shishi, you just broke through to Seventh Sea, right? You and Qi Xiao together think you can keep me?”
Yuwen Tuozhen let out a loud whistle from his mouth; the distant Night Scale Giant Beast long-whistled, immediately spreading wide wings, flying toward the rooftop.
On the street, after thoroughly searching Long Jingsong’s corpse, Li Weiyi picked up the Dragon Scale Spear on the ground and threw it out.
“Pfft!”
The Dragon Scale Spear pierced the Night Scale Giant Beast’s abdomen, passing straight through, flying toward the night sky.
Blood splashed, mournful howls.
Li Weiyi carried the Yellow Dragon Sword on his back, his Daoist Robe pristine as new, looking up toward the rooftop: “I’ve been here so long, yet Young City Lord didn’t notice me?”
Qi Xiao raised his saber to block Yuwen Tuozhen’s other direction, laughing loudly: “One against three, still confident?”
Yuwen Tuozhen recognized Li Weiyi, knowing he was a Five Seas Realm Fifth Realm Martial Cultivator, but his wariness toward him surpassed Qi Xiao and Shi Shishi.
He said coldly: “You’ve finally shown yourself! Tonight in Eastern City, the people wanting to kill you can’t be counted on two hands.”
“Guess why I dare to show myself?”
Li Weiyi used Qing Xu Cicada Escape Step, feet stepping on green smoke, body turning into countless afterimages, walking out an arc line, instantly arriving before Yuwen Tuozhen from the street.
He raised his sword; battle intent divine shadow manifested, illuminating all directions.
So fast!
Yuwen Tuozhen was greatly shocked inside, fully mobilizing his body’s magic energy; the long spear at First Rank Hundred Character Scripture Magic Tool level thrust out fiercely.
On the spear shaft, one hundred twenty-seven white scriptures appeared, flowing at extreme speed like a rain waterfall rushing toward the spear tip.
“Boom!”
“Bang bang!”
…
Sword and spear clashed, metal collision sounds continuous.
After over ten exchanges, all white scriptures burst open completely.
Yuwen Tuozhen only felt a mountainous, overwhelming force transmit from the long spear; his internal injuries could no longer be suppressed, he spat a mouthful of blood, body falling from the rooftop.
“You are… Successor Level…”
If not for personally clashing hands, Yuwen Tuozhen wouldn’t dare believe Li Weiyi had grown to such heights, no wonder he dared to join tonight’s chaotic battle without any taboos.
Every Successor at the Hidden Dragon Lantern Festival was a dragon crossing the river.
