Chapter 58: The City Full Of Killers
Li Weiyi’s courtyard was only a few miles from the Sui River, with a bustling downtown area with three streets and a cluster of low-roofed blue-tiled fishing houses in between.
As long as he reached the riverbank, he could escape by jumping into the river.
With the inexhaustible magic power in his body, he could hold his breath for a day and a night at the bottom of the river without suffocating. Other martial cultivators didn’t have his endurance of magic power.
…
The ghost flag was tied to his body like a black cloak. Li Weiyi moved like a rapid black line, passing through three bustling streets in a few breaths. In the distance, he could already see the masts and sails of countless ships docked by the Sui River, and faintly hear the fishermen’s laughter and curses after they finished work.
Suddenly.
A sense of unknown danger struck, and Li Weiyi’s hair stood on end.
Without any thought, he exerted force with his legs, and the Qing Xu Cicada Escape Step erupted in an instant, changing his running trajectory.
“Bang!”
A four-feathered long arrow, as thick as a thumb, slanted down from above.
The arrowhead was deeply embedded in the stone slab.
The arrow shaft, still vibrating and exposed outside the stone slab, was still as tall as a person.
Its flight speed far exceeded the speed of sound. Only in the next moment did the piercing whistling sound arrive, drilling into Li Weiyi’s ears as he continued to flee.
With such a powerful arrow, it was imaginable that if he hadn’t dodged it just now, even with the corpse clothes soft armor and the ghost flag, he would have been severely injured.
A female deformed humanoid race, three meters tall with black wings on her back, flew at an altitude of three hundred meters, holding a great bow also three meters long. There were nine arrows left in the quiver on her back.
A hint of surprise flashed in her deep blue eyes.
That kid on the ground, he couldn’t see that arrow just now, how could he sense it in advance?
Not only did he cultivate martial arts, but he was also a mind master?
She nocked the second arrow onto the bowstring. As the great bow was drawn, the silver bowstring, as fine as a hair, lit up.
This bow was a magic tool.
She was determined to get the Five Seas Pill from the Five Burial Temple.
“Swoosh!”
The long whistling sound rang out again.
Li Weiyi narrowly dodged the second arrow, his right ear grazed, and blood flowed out.
It was Murong Xiao, ranked twenty-first among the Top Hundred Martial Artists of Li Zhou.
Relying on her flying advantage and a low-level magic tool great bow, she had killed more than ten Seventh Rank martial cultivators. She had also ambushed a Five Seas Realm cultivator, and although she failed to assassinate him, she escaped with ease.
In the recent period, during the intervals of taking Zhao Zhizhuo to reshape the spring eyes, Li Weiyi had visited the Seven Springs Hall and had a detailed understanding of the Top Hundred Martial Artists of Li Zhou.
To dodge these two arrows, Li Weiyi’s speed was hindered, and he was caught up by a masked master rapidly pursuing him on the roof to his right.
This masked master was also a deformed humanoid race, with long arms and legs, and remarkably fast movement techniques.
“Whoosh!”
He stomped on the eaves with his foot, and the eaves instantly collapsed, with broken tiles falling all over the ground.
In the next instant, he had arrived directly above Li Weiyi, his phoenix-shaped battle axe slicing through the air.
Just as Li Weiyi’s head was about to be cut off.
Li Weiyi’s shoulders shook, and his body actually became a blur, appearing a step away. While evading the phoenix-shaped battle axe, he retaliated with a sword strike.
“Puchi!”
Even though this masked Seven Springs martial cultivator blocked with the phoenix-shaped battle axe in his other hand, he was still sent flying, his body crashing through the house of a fisherman on the right side of the street, blood flowing from his abdomen.
He was renowned among all Spring Gushing Realm martial cultivators for his speed, but he was defeated by Li Weiyi’s more mysterious movement technique.
“Whether it’s Xie Jin or Li Weiyi, Your Excellency should make it clear before leaving today.”
Chang Lin Gang Flag Master Shi Chuan Yu caught up, his voice thin and effeminate, his hand emitting dense flashes of silver as he unleashed a barrage of flying needles.
Shi Chuan Yu, who could accompany the Gang Leader and Deputy Gang Leader to meet Yang Qingxi, was naturally not simple. He was an outstanding person who had opened eight springs and had received a Five Seas Pill from the Yang Clan, but he failed in his breakthrough.
Of course, outstanding people who opened eight springs, Top Hundred Martial Artists… these martial cultivators with great combat power or potential in the Spring Gushing Realm generally had a chance to obtain a second Five Seas Pill.
As for the Pure Immortal Body, obtaining a third or fourth Five Seas Pill was not unusual.
However, each martial cultivator could only take one Five Seas Pill per year. If the breakthrough failed, they had to rest their lungs for a year before trying again.
Shi Chuan Yu’s misjudgment had caused Chang Lin Gang heavy losses, so he naturally had to come personally to make amends. Moreover, there was a Five Seas Pill bounty for killing Li Weiyi.
He was fully confident that after taking the Five Seas Pill this time, he would definitely be able to enter the Five Seas Realm.
With his talent and strength of opening eight springs to break into the five seas, Chang Lin Gang would have to be renamed “Shi Gang” in the future.
“Ding! Ding! Ding…”
As Li Weiyi retreated rapidly, he swung his long sword, and the sword shadows fell like a waterfall, deflecting all the flying needles.
During this brief moment, three more figures caught up.
Among the three, Top Hundred Martial Artist Yao Zheng Sheng exuded the most pressure. His four-meter-tall giant ape body carried a newly forged Thousand Jin Iron Rod on his shoulder, and with every step he took on the street, the ground vibrated.
The other two Seven Springs Martial Cultivators were both masked. One held a sword, and the other held a spear. They went around from the rooftop towards Li Weiyi’s front, blocking him from escaping towards the Sui River.
They were not as audacious as the Top Hundred Martial Artists, and they were afraid of future retaliation from the Cang Li Tribe, so they dared not reveal their true faces.
In an instant, Li Weiyi found himself trapped in a net of life and death. Whether in the sky or on the ground from all directions, every single spot was occupied by a top-tier master.
What’s more, there are a continuous stream of Spring Gushing Realm Martial Cultivators coming, interested in the Five Seas Pill and magic tools. There are also some hiding in the shadows, waiting for Li Weiyi to be injured and weak so they can jump out and kill him for spoils.
“We can’t wait any longer, or we really won’t be able to leave today!”
“Kill!”
Li Weiyi let out a long roar, crushed the second blood bag tied to his scripture belt, and then charged towards the two masked Seven Springs Martial Cultivators blocking his path, his battle intent instantly reaching its peak.
The Seven Springs Martial Cultivator holding the sword had his magic power overflow, like mist and rosy clouds encircling his body. He bent down and slashed horizontally with his sword, aiming for Li Weiyi’s legs.
A Seventh Rank Martial Cultivator with a spear transformed into a full bow, then mobilized the strength of his entire skeletal and muscular system, thrusting out with his spear. Dozens of spear shadows appeared simultaneously, like a dense wall of spears.
“Whoosh!”
Murong Xiao, flying in mid-air, predicted Li Weiyi’s movement trajectory and shot an arrow.
Tri-party attack!
Although the three had never met before, they were able to cooperate seamlessly in an instant, a perfect manifestation of their rich combat experience.
Li Weiyi’s primary alert was always for Murong Xiao above. The moment his body charged forward, he forcefully changed direction in a way that defied the laws of physics, striking with his sword towards the Seven Springs Martial Cultivator who was bowing down.
With the scripture belt empowering him, and combined with the profoundness of the Qing Xu Cicada Escape Step, Li Weiyi could unleash his movement technique to a phantom-like level, advancing and retreating at will, shifting left and right, making him unpredictable to anyone.
“Bang!”
The sky-fallen human-tall arrow struck three feet to the right of Li Weiyi’s figure.
The Seven Springs Martial Cultivator holding the sword, looking at the young figure that leaped above his head, and the yellow light he swung down, showed surprise on his face, having no time to get up and block.
“Pfft!”
A yellow light left a blood line on his face, from his brow to his jaw.
One sword, one dismemberment!
Before his two halves could separate, Li Weiyi had already fled several feet behind him, charging towards the Sui River at top speed.
The sky darkened, and the lingering sunset glow grew colder.
Li Weiyi inwardly shouted that heaven was helping him.
Once night falls, even if these pursuers have profound cultivation, their vision will inevitably be affected.
The chance of escape will greatly increase.
A soft voice came from behind, Shi Chuan Yu’s: “Li Weiyi, do you really think the people in that courtyard can enter the city alive? Offending Chang Lin Gang is bound to come at a brutal price. Those two women can be sent to Bao Yue Lou. I heard one is a Pure Immortal Body.”
Li Weiyi’s heart was extremely cold.
But he quickly calmed down, believing Shi Chuan Yu was saying it intentionally, trying to trick him and make him lose focus.
After all, according to Zhao Zhizhuo, Cang Li had not yet left Jiu Li City. With his twenty personal guards escorting them, how could the Chang Lin Gang possibly deal with Zhao Meng and Cai Yutong if there were no absolute benefits?
Even if those nameless, faceless, insignificant individuals made a move, Zhao Zhizhuo could definitely block them.
Zhao Zhizhuo’s combat power would not lose to the top figures in the top hundred martial artists, and might even be stronger.
Shi Chuan Yu also said, “Do you think I am bluffing? With such a large commotion, haven’t you noticed that the City Defense Camp has not arrived yet? Is this the kind of influence Chang Lin Gang can wield?”
Li Weiyi turned his head and glanced at him, revealing a row of his tightly clenched snow-white teeth.
…
Yang Qingxi sat in the main hall of a giant warship moored in the center of the Sui River. On the desk in front of her was a light cyan embroidered tablecloth, embroidered with a hundred birds and cloud patterns.
Place the exquisite silver wine set, rare and exotic fruits, and a Magic Tool Bone Lamp.
Wisps of magic energy emanated from the slender, snow-white fingertips of her right hand, activating the Bone Lamp magic tool.
The hazy light made the surroundings indistinct, no one could see her figure, no one could hear any sound within the range of the light, everything became illusory.
The light made the skin of her Pure Immortal Body appear even more delicate and snow-white. Any man would probably be unable to resist the urge to touch her, or to grasp and knead her, to feel the softness and elasticity of her skin.
Yang Qingxi looked towards the shore a hundred paces away.
As night fell, bright yellow lights appeared in the residential areas on the shore and in the rows of fishing boats moored on the river.
Within a narrow street, magic power glinted as it clashed fiercely, with yellow sword light shining.
The walls of the civilian residences collapsed from time to time, and blood splattered in the night sky.
94 The battle was undeniably fierce.
“To think you could fight all the way to the Sui River is truly surprising.” Yang Qingxi wore a veil, her eyes like two clear springs, showing no ripple.
Xue Zheng stood guard at the entrance of the main hall, his body like cast silver, his skin with a hundred percent metallic feel.
With a sound like metal grinding, he said, “Young Lady, I will end this!”
“Why end it? Isn’t watching the show good? A game of cats chasing mice, I find it quite interesting,” she said.
Before this, Yang Yun planned the assassination on Shenlong Avenue, and was severely reprimanded by Yang Qingxi. She felt that this younger brother of hers took an ordinary Seven Springs Martial Cultivator too seriously, and he shouldn’t have appeared at the assassination site in person, which would give them a handle.
But with the intense reactions of Li Songlin and Cang Li afterward, Yang Qingxi sensed that something was amiss.
Upon closer inspection, many strange things were discovered.
That’s why this morning, she let Yang Yun do as he pleased. She wanted to see why Li Songlin, Cang Li, and Li Ling valued Li Weiyi and the people in that courtyard, and to uncover the secrets within.
Especially the secret of the Pure Immortal Body’s metamorphosis.
“Rustle!”
Clear wind brushes the great river.
A handsome figure in silver robes and white attire landed silently from the night sky onto the deck at the bow of the 200-meter-long warship.
No one knows where he came from.
Even no one noticed when he fell to the ground.
Until he took the initiative to speak: “Young Lady Yang stopping the ship here shows incredible courage. Aren’t you afraid that our plotted actions will be discovered by some old guys in the city?”
This handsome and noble figure, holding a two-foot-long bone flute, his voice filled with intoxicating masculine charm.
If Li Weiyi were here, he would certainly recognize him. It was the esteemed guest wearing the Buddha Head Mask who ambushed the Cang Li Tribe’s coffin-carrying team with Shi Jiuzhai in Zangxian Town.
Wearing accessories, bone flute, voice…
The only difference was that this mysterious distinguished guest was not wearing the Buddha Head Mask at this moment.
