Chapter 340: Facing Luan Sheng And Lin You
The staff surged with circles of energy ripples, the air boiling.
The Earth Spirit Cub cried even more sorrowfully, a blinding beam shooting from its head. Earth Yin Energy spun and danced, entwining with that beam, flying dozens of zhang before striking the Silver Winged Great Sage.
“Boom!”
The Silver Winged Great Sage’s face was full of horror as he turned and struck out three magic tools.
“Bang! Bang! Bang!”
All his protective measures were destroyed in one strike.
Numerous silver feathers were knocked from his body, a muffled grunt escaping his mouth as he plummeted toward the ground.
The opponent was simply too strong, with bizarre methods controlling Earth Yin Energy, unlike anyone from the Living Realm. With his Fifth Heaven of Dao Seed Realm cultivation, he couldn’t block this strike at all.
Before the Silver Winged Great Sage hit the ground, Li Weiyi stepped onto the lake surface, chasing wind and moon, crossing dozens of zhang, carrying Earth Yin Energy as he swung his staff down onto his chest.
“Mind Master in close combat… you… pfft…”
The Silver Winged Great Sage flew diagonally outward, blood pouring from his chest, crashing heavily onto the ground with soil and stones tumbling.
The Lei Xiao Sect outer sect elder, meant to be used as a negotiation chip, fell from his hand and rolled onto the ground nearby.
The Silver Winged Great Sage’s cultivation was extremely profound. If he had fought desperately against Li Weiyi, he wouldn’t have lost so quickly or miserably; many of his techniques hadn’t even been used. He had misjudged his own speed and the opponent’s long-range attack capability.
Li Weiyi relied on Golden Crow Flame, already possessing the power to battle a five-star Spirit Mind Master.
The Myriad Staff Spear was no ordinary artifact. One could imagine the combat power bursting from his mind power cultivation when mobilizing Earth Yin Energy.
Li Weiyi strode forward in pursuit, not giving the Silver Winged Great Sage a chance to gather power and rise.
Meanwhile.
The hidden Tuo Ba Bu Tuo struck out the seventh rank Hundred Character Artifact “Golden Mirror”, instantly taking down a Fourth Heaven of Dao Seed Realm demon race martial cultivator, shattering his head. Then, he quickly rushed up and extracted the Dao Lotus.
Qi Xiao’s opponent was a Third Heaven of Dao Seed Realm demon cultivator, currently being chased and killed by him riding the scale lion war beast’s light shadow.
Moments later, Tuo Ba Bu Tuo joined forces with him to slay it.
“Boom!”
Li Weiyi descended from the sky, his war weapon like staff or spear in hand, giving the Silver Winged Great Sage no chance to counterattack, piercing his heart and nailing him dead with one spear thrust.
The humanoid corpse reverted to its original form, rapidly expanding into a dozens-of-meters-long silver-winged eagle, weighing at least hundreds of thousands of jin, its head as large as a house. Selling the meat, bones, and feathers alone would fetch a good price.
The three of them didn’t dare linger here, so they had decided on a quick battle before making their move.
After extracting the Dao Lotus, they stored the Silver Winged Great Sage’s corpse into the boundary bag. Then Li Weiyi waved his hand, summoning the three from Lei Xiao Sect.
Qin Qian had already refined the silver magic energy in her body and leaped out of the water. Looking at Li Weiyi, her eyes showed no gratitude, only terror. After all, this was inherently a transaction full of uncertainties!
Who knew what this old guy’s true purpose was?
He might be even more vicious than the Silver Winged Great Sage.
They were far from escaping danger.
Facing such a formidable figure, the three from Lei Xiao Sect didn’t dare flee, nor did they dare welch on the deal for now. Hearing Li Weiyi’s summons, they were all very tense.
“You should know how to leave the Thirty-Six Tombs of Lei, right? Hurry and lead the way; we need to get out as soon as possible… oh no… he’s coming!”
Li Weiyi’s perception was sharp; he sighed inwardly and turned to gaze toward the distant mountain peaks.
“Brother Weiyi, it’s been two years since we last met. Now that we’ve finally crossed paths, why rush to leave?”
Luan Sheng Lin You’s voice echoed between the mountains.
In the next instant, he spread his wings and soared out from above the mountain peaks. Still a li away, the flowing silver mask on his face transformed into dozens of sharp silver shuttles, shooting toward the four like a meteor shower.
This magic tool was extraordinary, shifting between liquid and solid states, with myriad transformations and tremendous power.
Luan Sheng Lin You’s Dao Heart External Manifestation was vast beyond measure, locking everyone with powerful mind intent.
The three from Lei Xiao Sect felt their bodies petrify; they couldn’t even lift a finger.
Seeing Luan Sheng Lin You personally arrive, the three were scared out of their wits. In the past year, Luan Sheng Lin You had made a great name in the Lingxiao Life Realm, slaying experts from the 《Jia Zi List》 of the human race, growing stronger with each battle, with brilliant battle records and the momentum to kill his way into the Longevity Realm.
The major powers of the human race had all sent veteran strong practitioners, but he had evaded them all, returning without success.
“Form the formation!”
Li Weiyi stared at Luan Sheng Lin You, his gaze stern.
He redirected the spearhead upward, with the Earth Spirit Cub downward.
He raised the Myriad Staff Spear over his head. His mind power in the spirit realm fully erupted, golden-red radiance illuminating the entire wilderness.
Tuo Ba Bu Tuo and Qi Xiao, both wearing masks, rushed toward Li Weiyi with all their might, preparing to use their three-man combined attack formation against Luan Sheng Lin You, their former formidable enemy.
But it was far too late…
A scene beyond everyone’s expectations appeared.
“Swish!”
Li Weiyi’s body was enveloped in star track lines. The starry sky above his head drew in all the starlight, like light marks pulled by the Myriad Staff Spear, making the spear tip blindingly bright.
Li Weiyi fiercely swung the Myriad Staff Spear, manifesting a wall of spiritual light and starlight that blocked the dozens of incoming silver shuttles.
Luan Sheng Lin You’s cultivation and strength far surpassed the Silver Winged Great Sage.
The dozens of silver shuttles contained extremely powerful attack force, with the might to overturn seas and mountains, like a combined strike from dozens of masters, forcing Li Weiyi back half a step.
He could only spin the Myriad Staff Spear, diverting this terrifying force to the side.
“Boom!”
The dozens of silver shuttles veered and crashed into the lake, exploding the entire surface.
“In terms of combat power, he’s even above Long Xiangcen.”
Li Weiyi knew his accumulation in the Five Seas Realm had taken too long; there was a significant gap with Luan Sheng Lin You, and he couldn’t clash head-on now.
Thus, he wrapped the three from Lei Xiao Sect in spiritual light and quickly retreated to the opposite side of the lake, joining Tuo Ba Bu Tuo and Qi Xiao.
“Swish!”
Luan Sheng Lin You retracted his wings and landed on the opposite side of the lake, his silver hair flowing as he looked at Li Weiyi with some surprise. Li Weiyi’s earlier technique was too extraordinary.
Not to mention others—even Li Weiyi himself was astonished and uncertain, glancing up at the starry sky.
The Myriad Staff Spear could actually mobilize the power of the stars for his use.
Li Weiyi had once heard Elder Xu mention that the Twin Rice Cult’s imperial technique, called “Three Thousand Stars Pagoda”, could draw star power from beyond the heavens for self-cultivation and attacks.
The Myriad Staff Spear possessing imperial technique-like properties meant its origins were no small matter; it was likely an important magic tool of the Pojia Luo Cult.
Qin Qian stood behind Li Weiyi. Thinking of how Luan Sheng Lin You had called out “Brother Weiyi”, she suddenly felt this smiling Buddha was very likely that guy—his style matched too well. She whispered, “Are you Li Weiyi?”
Li Weiyi ignored her completely, waving his sleeve to send the three flying away. Then, he thrust the Myriad Staff Spear into the ground and chanted one of the Six Jia Secret Incantation Nine Characters from it: the “formation” character.
“Swish!”
Spiritual light shot from his brow, sketching formation disks throughout the surrounding heaven and earth.
The formation disks were filled with golden “formation” characters.
This “formation” character differed from this world’s formation script; it came from one of the nine characters on the Yellow Dragon Sword.
Li Weiyi was the blazing sun, his radiance shining in all directions, supporting the formation.
Tuo Ba Bu Tuo held the golden mirror as the bright moon, absorbing the blazing sun’s power, standing beside him.
Qi Xiao held his war saber, pasting a Divine Movement Talisman on his chest, standing at the formation’s edge and swiftly flying along with the formation disk’s rotation.
This was Li Weiyi’s improved combined attack formation, based on the Twin Rice Cult’s Sun-Moon-Stars Grand Formation, incorporating the “formation” character formation script from the Six Jia Secret Incantation. Trapped in the Southern Clear Palace for this year, he hadn’t just been cultivating blindly.
One day, one month, one star.
The sun led the attack while the moon defended, the stars launching sneak attacks.
The three’s powers could be transported through the formation, condensing together.
In fact, releasing the seven Phoenix Wing Moth Emperors could form the Eight Stars, with even greater power. But now, he didn’t believe Luan Sheng Lin You was certain of his identity; that earlier move was absolutely just a probe, so he didn’t want to expose himself proactively for the time being.
Luan Sheng Lin You was indeed suspicious at this moment.
The person before him had an aura completely different from Li Weiyi’s. Moreover, his mind power attainment was too high—not just in realm, but in mind techniques and formations.
Two years ago, Li Weiyi had been at most a Great Mind Master of the Earth Fire Realm.
He didn’t believe anyone in this world could cultivate mind power to such a level in just two years.
Luan Sheng Lin You noticed the demon race martial cultivator’s blood on the ground and probed again: “I never expected that in just two years, your mind power attainment has reached such heights. With such talent, what does it matter if you cultivate the martial way or not?”
Li Weiyi said hoarsely, “Young Esteemed One, what are you suspecting? I know your combat power is formidable, but this old man’s century of cultivation isn’t for nothing. If you want to fight, get on with it.”
Luan Sheng Lin You took great interest in this golden smiling Buddha before him: “Why switch to calling yourself ‘this old man’ again? Aren’t you the Fifth Divine Son, Sikong Jingyuan?”
“Haha, just a little trick. I didn’t expect it actually fooled that slut Long Xiangcen. The fake divine son token—she couldn’t even discern it! In the future, this old man will take your appearance, trick her into bed, and she’ll probably be oblivious, serving wholeheartedly.”
Li Weiyi changed his tone, mimicking an evil path old monster, not wanting Luan Sheng Lin You to think he was deliberately explaining.
He didn’t aim to truly deceive him, just to muddy the waters.
Anyway, the entire Lingxiao Life Realm would likely be a mess of murky waters next.
As expected, these words dispelled Luan Sheng Lin You’s suspicions, his eyes filling with killing intent: “You saved the Lei Xiao Sect people, but they abandoned you.”
The three from Lei Xiao Sect were fleeing into the distance.
Qin Qian kept looking back with intense curiosity but didn’t dare stay.
“They’re all this old man’s prey; they can’t escape. Sooner or later, I’ll refine them all into puppet technique rice slaves. Just like those two!”
Li Weiyi didn’t hide that he was from the Rice Cult.
Seeing the opponent remain watertight without revealing any flaws, Luan Sheng Lin You lost his patience. Killing him would naturally reveal the truth.
The dozens of silver shuttles flying around him condensed into a single staff.
“Swish!”
Using some evasion technique, he appeared to teleport, instantly breaking into the formation.
Luan Sheng Lin You didn’t underestimate them; he had been observing the formation earlier and saw through that the outermost Qi Xiao had the weakest cultivation, allowing him to strike from weak to strong toward the center.
He thought a casual strike would cleave him down.
But the staff he swung at utmost speed struck empty air.
This Sun-Moon-Stars Grand Formation was like a massive grinding mill.
Li Weiyi at the center merely needed to turn it slightly for the outermost Qi Xiao’s position to change drastically.
“Well come! Luan Sheng Lin You, today is your death day.”
Li Weiyi deliberately shouted this to exploit Luan Sheng Lin You’s unfamiliarity with the Sun-Moon-Stars Grand Formation, influencing his state of mind and seizing every possible advantage.
“So confident?”
Luan Sheng Lin You abandoned Qi Xiao, charging straight for Li Weiyi at the formation’s center.
With his movement, Li Weiyi, Tuo Ba Bu Tuo, and Qi Xiao all moved.
Li Weiyi mobilized Earth Yin Energy and thrust the spear, myriad beams weaving at the tip.
“Sizzle!”
The instant Luan Sheng Lin You’s silver staff struck the Myriad Staff Spear, he was shocked to find Tuo Ba Bu Tuo appearing beneath him, while Qi Xiao’s saber cleaved down from above his head.
All this happened in a flash!
“Boom!”
Li Weiyi took his strike head-on, instantly gravely wounded, his insides churning, nearly spitting blood, but he held it back firmly, maintaining a straight posture.
Wearing the mask, he revealed no weaknesses.
If it came to it, he could only release the seven Phoenix Wing Moth Emperors and go all out.
Luan Sheng Lin You blocked Tuo Ba Bu Tuo’s golden mirror with his palm and solidly took Qi Xiao’s saber on his head. It felt like being hit with a heavy club.
If Qi Xiao’s cultivation were one realm higher, he would surely be injured.
This formation was too bizarre, too unfamiliar. Luan Sheng Lin You quickly withdrew from it: “Not a bad formation, but your cultivations are far too lacking. Next time we meet, I’ll slay you all.”
“Pfft!”
“Pfft!”
After Luan Sheng Lin You vanished, Li Weiyi and Tuo Ba Bu Tuo each spat a mouthful of blood, both gravely wounded.
“He’s too strong. Even if he stood still for me to chop, I couldn’t injure him badly. But why did he flee?” Qi Xiao couldn’t figure it out.
“Let’s go; Luantai people are coming! Luan Sheng Lin You is avoiding them.”
Li Weiyi looked into the distance and saw several figures of women in Luantai official robes atop the snow mountain. Like saintess great Brahma heavens, they had light wings on their backs, feet treading magic energy clouds, speeding toward the lake.
The three immediately pasted Divine Movement Talismans on themselves and pursued in the direction the Lei Xiao Sect trio had fled.
With Li Weiyi’s current mind power attainment, he had added the “movement” character from the Six Jia Secret Incantation to the Divine Movement Talismans; each was priceless. Even the Spirit Tablet Master would cry out genius upon seeing them, capable of escaping even a Seventh Heaven of Dao Seed Realm expert.
They hadn’t fled earlier because they had been enveloped by Luan Sheng Lin You’s Dao Heart External Manifestation and locked by his mind intent.
