The Primordial Law

Chapter 220 Fierce Battle in the Coffin
As Yang Qingxi's slender body darted towards the head of the coffin like a snake, she placed her palm on the coffin lid and pushed it backward.

"Oh!"

The moment Zuo Shi struck the blood-mud coffin with a palm strike from a distance, the coffin lid slammed shut, and the internal defensive formation was activated by Yang Qingxi.

"Boom!"

The eight long benches shattered, and the blood-mud coffin crashed to the ground.

Yang Qingxi entered the coffin and immediately sensed something was wrong. She discovered that there was another living person inside, and the two bodies were already touching.

Li Weiyi was utterly speechless.

No matter how much they planned, who could have predicted that Yang Qingxi, along with Hua Yuzi, Chen Wenwu, the two attendants, two Grand Masters, and six other experts, would be unable to capture him?

By letting her escape into the coffin, all plans fell through.

The fact that she crawled in from such a desperate situation meant that, unless Hua Yuzi was stupid, she would definitely guess that there was something wrong with the coffin.

After the massive shock of the coffin falling to the ground, Li Weiyi had no choice but to give the Cihang Blessing Finger he had prepared to the young lady Yang, who was now nestled in his arms, as warm and fragrant as jade.

Before fighting the outside world, you must first make peace with the inside.

Yang Qingxi was also extremely skilled, reacting quickly and grabbing Li Weiyi's wrist as she attacked. At the same time, her other hand reached out and grabbed the neck of the unknown man.

Li Weiyi reached out and grabbed her outstretched hand.

The two men each grabbed one of the other's hands, both with considerable strength, causing the other to grit his teeth in pain.

"Oh!"

Li Weiyi acted with extreme decisiveness, slamming his head into Yang Qingxi's forehead.

Unexpectedly, Yang Qingxi not only didn't let go despite the pain, but instead retaliated by hitting her head against the ground.

At this moment, she was utterly despondent, filled only with murderous intent and hatred, more ruthless than ever before.

It's as if being harsher on yourself and hurting yourself more makes you feel better.

"Oh!"

"Oh!"

……

They slammed each other three times, until their heads were buzzing, before they stopped, lying together as if cuddling, panting heavily.

Li Weiyi felt his vision go black and he felt extremely dizzy. Despite having mastered the Lesser Completion of the Golden Bone Technique, he could only manage a draw in the head-on collision duel.

Outside the coffin.

There was a protective array separating them, so the sound of heads being pounded inside couldn't be heard.

Two attendants rushed into the mourning hall.

Hua Yuzi wanted to follow, but Chen Wenwu stopped her: "This is an otherworldly coffin! Since Yang Qingxi chose to enter it at the critical moment of life and death, it means that this coffin must have something extraordinary about it."

Hua Yuzi smiled faintly, not taking it too seriously: "She has brought this upon herself! A coffin won't save her."

Above Qiuzhou city, the character "解" (jie, meaning "solve") floats, rendering any array formations at the Spirit Master level ineffective.

Under such circumstances, formations and runes pose limited threats.

Chen Wenwu said, "I know Yang Qingxi, so it's best to be cautious."

Hua Yuzi looked thoughtful: "Indeed, this woman is quite extraordinary, hiding her good deeds in secret. Before this, who could have imagined that she possessed all her meridians in silver?"

"Lord Hua, leave it to us."

After the two attendants on the left and right failed to open the coffin, they used their weapons to attack the blood mud coffin in turn, trying to force it open.

In the coffin.

As they gradually recovered, they continued to hold each other's hands tightly.

Blood was seeping from the grappling hooks.

"Wow!"

Almost at the same time, their brows lit up, each releasing a burst of spiritual light.

But before they could launch an attack, the coffin began to violently overturn. The two tumbled and rolled inside, sometimes Li Weiyi on top of her, sometimes she on top of him, their faces bruised and swollen, their legs clashing and wrestling together.

The attacks from the outside were all neutralized by the defensive formation, leaving only slight shockwaves that could not harm them.

Within the confined space of the coffin, they grappled and attacked each other, turning every part of their bodies into weapons, all in an attempt to kill one another.

"It's you, Li Weiyi... ah..."

Yang Qingxi was pinned down by Li Weiyi.

He pressed his finger against the blood hole below her left collarbone, causing her to spasm and convulse in pain.

At the same time, Li Weiyi was struck in the groin by her knee, but fortunately, he was prepared and it didn't hit any vital organs. The next moment, their legs were also tightly intertwined, neither giving the other a chance to use their legs again.

The more they fought, the worse things got.

To prevent each other from making a move, the two became increasingly entangled, eventually embracing tightly and hooking each other's hands around their backs. The space was too cramped, the struggle too intense, their heads and faces pressed together, and in their exhaustion, they could only hear each other's rapid breathing.

Outside, the coffin was thrown high into the air and then blasted away with a heavy thud.

Even with defensive formations to mitigate the attack, the two people inside the coffin were still in great discomfort. First, they experienced a strong sense of weightlessness, and then they were tumbling together.

Li Weiyi was ultimately more rational than Yang Qingxi, whose heart was filled with hatred at this moment: "You are injured and getting weaker, but I can still fight all day. How about we stop for now?"

Yang Qingxi gradually calmed down: "I can guarantee you that even if I get injured, I'll take you down with me before I die. Let go first!"

Li Weiyi's mouth was positioned at the tip of her nose: "You need to understand, you are the weaker party now. Listen to my command, and perhaps you still have a chance to live today. Let go first."

Yang Qingxi said, "This otherworldly coffin has an attack formation, and only I know how to activate it. Once activated, it can severely injure those outside. So, you have to listen to me."

Li Weiyi chuckled softly, "I knew how to activate this attack formation, which is why I hid in the coffin to ambush Hua Yuzi. You ruined everything! Otherwise, he would be dead by now."

Yang Qingxi frowned: "Since the Ashlands of the Far West are our common enemy, we should put aside our past grievances and cooperate sincerely. Joining forces means survival, while continuing to fight means certain death."

"Let go first! Otherwise, how can I believe you won't kill me, the murderer, in Yang Qingchan's coffin and bury me with her?" Li Weiyi said.

Yang Qingxi's eyes dimmed, and she whispered, "Perhaps you don't believe me! Actually, I know that the person who killed her wasn't you at all, but I can only pretend not to know and can only assume that you are the murderer."

Li Weiyi was shocked. It seemed that Yang Qingxi had noticed something. This woman was truly a master of forbearance.

Li Weiyi said, "I always keep my word. I will not lay a hand on you before I get away. Believe it or not, if you still don't believe me, I have my own ways of killing you."

The space was too cramped, and Li Weiyi did not want to activate the Buddha's relic unless absolutely necessary, fearing that he would not be able to control it properly. So he put the entire coffin into the blood mud space.

That would expose us!

Li Weiyi added, "It seems they've already loaded the coffin onto the vehicle and are preparing to take it away. Just because they can't break it doesn't mean that Luan Shenglin can't, nor does it mean that there aren't extraordinary individuals in the Far Western Ash Region who can open this coffin. Once we get to their headquarters, it will be too late to escape!"

Yang Qingxi's chest heaved, thick and elastic, and Li Weiyi could clearly feel that damn soft touch on his chest.

Gradually, she loosened her grip.

Li Weiyi breathed a sigh of relief, immediately took out the insect bag, and released seven phoenix-winged moth queens to subdue her vital organs such as her neck, heart, and dantian.

Then, he used the spiritual light between his eyebrows to illuminate the coffin, searching for the array runes that would trigger the nine layers of profound light.

Lying beside him, Yang Qingxi said, "Chen Wenwu also understands the Otherworld Coffin. Your triggering of the attack formation might not be able to hurt Hua Yuzi. If you can't hurt him, you will definitely not be able to escape if you leave the coffin alone. But if you and I join forces, we can fight even Hua Yuzi in his prime."

"In addition, I am proficient in water escape techniques."

"Wait until you hear the sound of flowing water and see the riverbank before making your move. That way, even if the attack fails, you'll have a better chance of escaping."

Li Weiyi knew she was cunning and wouldn't believe her: "Isn't it more advantageous for you to escape?"

“With my cultivation level, I can use water escape techniques to carry one person,” Yang Qingxi said.

"But they won't take me with them."

Li Weiyi did not immediately activate the formation because he could think of the same thing as Yang Qingxi.

Going out alone is indeed too risky.

If we can join forces with her, and with her water escape technique, even Zuoqiu Ting would be helpless, at least we would be in a position of survival.

Li Weiyi turned her face away and smiled, "I do have a way to increase my trust in you."

"What method?" Yang Qingxi asked.

Li Weiyi said, "I have learned a new type of rune called the Six Desires Rune. The Six Desires Rune is very simple, but it is not easy to undo. It can only be undoed if the order of the runes is exactly the same. In other words, only the person who cast the rune knows the correct way to undo it."

"No need to explain so clearly, I know about the Six Desires Talisman." Yang Qingxi's eyes were cold and ruthless, filled with extreme hatred for this talisman, because her younger sister, Yang Qingchan, had indirectly died because of it. Although not the main cause, there was a certain connection.

Li Weiyi said, "As long as you let me cast the Six Desires Talisman on my body, I will trust you."

“Fine! But how do I know you won’t abandon me and run away alone? Trust is mutual. If you want my help, I’ll have to cast the Six Desires Talisman on you.” Yang Qingxi said.

Li Weiyi said, "You have no right to negotiate with me."

Yang Qingxi closed his eyes and secretly regulated his breathing: "I still have strong combat power, so I have the right to negotiate. Anyway, the Sui Sect is almost wiped out because of my younger generation. I am already utterly despondent and will never forgive myself in this life. My life is worthless. But you, Li Weiyi, are the young emperor in many people's eyes. Your future is limitless and your life is very precious."

She continued, "From the North City to the West City, they will only pass through the Lishui River. In order to avoid the imperial court's martial arts practitioners, they will definitely take Yuli Street and cross the Wuxin Bridge. The Wuxin Bridge is our only chance to make a move."

"Once we cross the Lishui River, there will be no more major rivers, and the water escape technique will become ineffective. Without the water escape technique, if we are unable to turn the tide and kill them, we will have no way to escape."

"Make a decision quickly, time is running out!"

Li Weiyi never expected that Yang Qingxi could quickly regain her rationality and thinking ability after experiencing such a major setback, which he greatly admired.

"Alright, then let's plant the Six Desires Talisman on each other."

Li Weiyi knew that as long as the nine high priests of the Jiuli tribe joined forces, they could refine the Six Desires Talisman. Given his status as a hidden master, the Hidden Lord would definitely do everything in his power to make this happen.

Yang Qingxi didn't receive such treatment.

Even Yang Shenjing might not have the influence to ask so many experts in mental power to help her resolve this.

Therefore, he wasn't afraid of being controlled by Yang Qingxi at all; even in the worst-case scenario, he had a backup plan. Furthermore, he still had some of the pills the Hidden Lord had given him to suppress the Six Desires Talisman.
