The Primordial Law

Chapter 229 Old Friends in the Southern Border
Yuwen Tuo was not the only one who was shocked.

Qi Xiao and Shi Shishi were utterly shocked when they saw Li Weiyi descend like a god, wielding countless sword shadows to cut down the renowned young powerhouse of the Southern Territory from the rooftop.

Shi Shishi exclaimed in surprise, "Brother Weiyi, have you and Yang Qingxi been practicing some secret dual cultivation method these past few days? Otherwise, how could your cultivation and combat strength have increased to this extent?"

“This is definitely at the level of a successor… Is this the achievement of the fifth stage of the Five Seas Realm?” Qi Xiao had some doubts about whether he had taken the right path in martial arts over the past twenty years.

It should be noted that both Qi Xiao and Yuwen Tuozhen possess pure immortal bodies, having opened nine springs in the Yongquan Realm and having all their meridians turned silver. In the Five Seas Realm, they have already perfected the seventh sea.

Standing at the absolute peak below the Dao Seed Realm, there are no weaknesses.

Only someone of the Inheritor level could defeat them in a dozen or so moves.

The difference between the Inheritors and them lies in the fact that those at the Qi Sea Realm have opened up more than a hundred Qi Seas and cultivated some Golden Qi Seas. In the Five Seas Realm, each Qi Sea is much larger.

They are completely superior to them.

Li Weiyi said, "There aren't that many inheritors. Yuwen Tuozhen is already injured, so his combat strength has dropped significantly. Let's finish this quickly and send Young City Lord Yuwen on his way."

The Ashlands of the Far West are a powerful region with numerous experts.

Given the opportunity, Li Weiyi would naturally remove its claws and teeth, clip its wings, and weaken the young phoenix and unicorn.

In front of Yin Ershisi and the others, one should always put on airs as a hermit, and naturally, one should do what a hermit should do.

Although the gap in cultivation between Luan Shenglin and Lin You is enormous, and he cannot do anything to Luan Shenglin for the time being, he still needs to kill a few Seventh Sea Martial Cultivators from the Far West Ash Region and bring their heads back to place on the sacrificial altar. This would be more convincing than anything else, and more meaningful than offering a few fruits.

"What price are you prepared to pay for sending me on my way?"

Under the eaves, Yuwen Tuozhen's long purple hair was loose, and his eyes were sharp and cold as he stared at Li Weiyi, who had fallen back to the ground opposite him.

Guided by the magical energy, the blood flowing from the injury transformed into wisps of blood mist, which surged into the twelve-foot-long vengeful spirit spear in his hand.

The pale white crescent mark between his brows, representing a member of the Night Clan royal family, gradually turned blood red.

Qi Xiao, a man of great experience, roared, "Oh no! That's a blood-refined magic artifact, sealed with a departed spirit inside!"

Li Weiyi's legs shot out like a drawn bowstring, so fast that the air exploded upon impact.

A sword stabs straight forward!
The dragon shadow that burst forth from the Yellow Dragon Sword moved across the arm and the sword.

Yuwen Tuozhen amplified his five senses to the extreme, held the battle spear horizontally, lowered his legs, and channeled his five-zhang-long crescent-shaped battle intent into the weapon in his hand.

"Oh!"

With a single thrust, the spear struck precisely the tip of the Yellow Dragon Sword.

The stone slabs along the street, which stretched for dozens of meters, were all shattered and made a cracking sound.

Yuwen Tuozhen's strength was naturally inferior to Li Weiyi's, and he retreated abruptly. However, the scriptures and ghostly mist within the vengeful spirit spear in his hand spread out in all directions like waves.

Six powerful spirits burst forth from the spearhead.

Each one was enormous, taller than a house, and had a blood-moon mark between its eyebrows.

The Six Blood Moon Demons formed a battle formation to intercept Li Weiyi.

Having just exchanged blows with Li Weiyi, Yuwen Tuo was seriously injured and fled swiftly into the darker alleyway along the shadowy area under the eaves.

He was very self-aware, knowing that even with the help of six spirits, they were no match for the three.

"Don't worry about me, don't let him escape," Li Weiyi whispered.

Qi Xiao used his movement skills, sword in hand, to chase after Yuwen Tuozhen on the rooftop above him, sometimes leaping, sometimes dodging. At that moment, he understood why Yuwen Tuozhen was ranked second in the Southern Territory, while he was only third!
The six undead spirits within the Vengeful Spirit Spear alone could significantly boost his combat power.

This treasure is several times more valuable than an ordinary first-grade magic artifact with a hundred-character scripture.

Yuwen Tuozhen rushed to the end of the alley, but suddenly became alert and immediately stopped.

Suddenly, Shi Shishi dashed out and unleashed his signature move, "Soaring Fist."

He threw a punch straight at her.

His fist shone like a star, causing the air within a radius of several feet to vibrate.

This is Shi Shishi's explosive attack fist technique, specifically designed to deal with martial artists of the same realm who possess pure immortal bodies!
Yuwen Tuozhen didn't have time to thrust out the vengeful spirit spear, so he could only use the spear as a pillar to defend himself.

"Oh!"

The fist collided with the shaft of the spear, producing a clanging metallic sound.

Hundreds of scriptures flew out from his fist and struck Yuwen Tuozhen's body.

Yuwen Tuozhen then noticed that Shi Shi was wearing a lotus-shaped knuckle duster on his index finger. The scriptures were shooting out from the knuckle duster, piercing through the protective aura and sending him flying backward.

Qi Xiao flew down from the roof and swung his sword.

On the street, Li Weiyi used the Qingxu Chachan Step, lifting his body off the ground and performing six steps in mid-air, leaving behind six illusory images of Li Weiyi executing different sword techniques. Then, without looking back, he chased into the alley.

Behind him, the six powerful spirits whose bodies had been struck by the Yellow Dragon Sword burst into flames, which then spread throughout their bodies.

Moments later, it burned into six plumes of crimson smoke.

The six shadows of Li Weiyi also disappeared.

As Li Weiyi rushed through the alley, he looked up and saw a familiar figure following him on the rooftop. It was the patrolling immortal envoy from the Du'e Temple, whom he had already met twice.

"Why is it her again?"

Li Weiyi frowned.

Moments later, they arrived at the battlefield.

Surrounded by three attackers, Yuwen Tuozhen's pleas for mercy failed, and Qi Xiao severed his neck with a single stroke, his head rolling several feet away. Li Weiyi picked up the bloody head and put it into a magic bag.

"Quickly find the invitations."

Qi Xiao and Shi Shi quickly crouched down and searched inside the corpse's body.

Li Weiyi turned around and looked at the Du'e Temple's patrolling immortal envoy, who was also dressed in a Taoist robe and stood high up. After thinking for a moment, he transformed into a wisp of green smoke and flew to the immortal envoy's side. He glanced at the book in her hand, wondering what she was writing.

He was completely dumbfounded!
She was writing: "On the twelfth day of the first lunar month, at night, Li Weiyi of Lizhou, whose combat power has risen to the level of a successor, killed Yuwen Tuozhen."

“Even if you are an inspecting immortal envoy, you can’t just make up records. Yuwen Tuozhen is really injured, and my combat strength has not reached the level of a successor. Also, the one who killed Yuwen Tuozhen was Qi Xiao. Qi Xiao from the Qi family of Lizhou.”

Li Weiyi was well aware that in the perilous city of Qiuzhou, he needed both a strong fighting spirit to meet all difficulties and challenges, and a clear understanding of himself. He must not overestimate himself; in fact, it was best to... underestimate himself slightly.

The patrolling immortal envoy did not record Qi Xiao's battle achievements.

She finished writing, closed the booklet, and then vanished from Li Weiyi's sight in a flash.

The speed was too fast for the naked eye to perceive. Li Weiyi returned to the ground and let out a long sigh.

Qi Xiao and Shi Shishi have found one Dragon Seed Ticket and two Dragon Bone Tickets on Yuwen Tuozhen's body and are discussing how to divide them.

"Brother Weiyi, what's wrong?" Shi Shishi asked curiously.

"I have a feeling that the inspecting immortal envoy at Du'e Temple is trying to flatter me to death."

Li Weiyi told the two of them what had just happened.

Qi Xiao laughed heartily, "I was the one who chopped off Yuwen Tuozhen's head, but you contributed the most. I think it's fair that people remember that. Besides, your strength is definitely at the level of an inheritor. Maybe it's a bit of a stretch, but it's definitely a level above me and Yuwen Tuozhen!"

“Brother Wei, the ultimate technique you used to kill Hua Yuzi is now being spread like wildfire. Once that move is unleashed, even ordinary inheritors can’t withstand it,” Shi Shishi said.

Li Weiyi said, "Which inheritor doesn't have their own unique skills?"

"Don't think too much about it. Perhaps the Du'e Temple is already preparing to appoint you as a Hidden Dragon. Let's discuss how to divide the votes," Qi Xiao said.

"You two split it."

Li Weiyi removed Yuwen Tuozhen's protective bag, picked up the vengeful spirit spear, and then went to find the dragon scale spear that had been thrown earlier.

A top-grade ritual implement containing the Hundred-Character Sutra!
Each item cost tens of thousands of Yongquan coins, a very large sum.

The reason he didn't want the Dragon Seed Tickets and Dragon Bone Tickets for the time being was that he planned to return to his humble garden tonight and hide for three days. Once the seven Phoenix-Winged Moth Kings had grown to seven inches, he would practice a new battle technique where a single move at the peak of his mental power would unleash 150% of his combat strength.

On the last day, look for targets again to seize Dragon Seed Tickets and Dragon Bone Tickets. If you have the chance to get a Longevity Pill Ticket, that would be even better.

Now, if I get a ticket, I'll be locked out no matter where I go, and I can't even sleep peacefully.

Li Weiyi put both halberds into the pocket and quickly returned.

The two have finished splitting the votes.

Qi Xiao took a Dragon Seed Ticket, and Shi Shishi took a Dragon Bone Ticket.

The second dragon bone ticket is temporarily kept with Qi Xiao, to be given to Li Weiyi when needed in the future.

"I won't say much in thanks. After the Hidden Dragon Lantern Festival, I will definitely break through to the Dao Seed realm immediately. Once I reach the Dao Seed realm, I will make sure you two are well taken care of, with the best food, drink, and lodging. You must both attend the Dao Seed Feast!" Qi Xiao said with a beaming smile.

Having obtained the Dragon Bone Tickets, Shi Shi, ever greedy, then wanted the Dragon Seed Tickets: "With the combined strength of the three of us, we can overpower any inheritor we encounter. Should we try to get a few more tickets?"

Li Weiyi shook her head: "I have a feeling that something is wrong tonight. I'm feeling uneasy. I'd better not stay in the East City anymore and go back to the South City first."

"This is bad... We've been here too long, and people are gathering around!"

Qi Xiao opened the invitation and could see on the map that Dragon Seed Tickets and Dragon Bone Tickets were moving toward their location.

"go!"

Qi Xiao led the way.

Li Weiyi and Shi Shi followed closely behind, constantly adjusting their positions, navigating alleys and leaping over walls, trying to break through the encirclement.

But they still encountered each other on the banks of this narrow river, which was only a few meters wide.

"Ding Ding!"

Kuti stood on the opposite bank of the river, his staff twirling in his hand, the rings of various sizes colliding to produce a pleasant sound.

Her white monk's robe was covered with dense Buddhist scriptures, and her temperament was serene and tranquil, blending into the darkness.

"Ow!"

A tiger's roar resounded, creating a strong gust of wind.

The battle intent of the five-zhang-long golden tiger emerged from the riverside woods to the right of the three. He chuckled in a deep voice, "What a small world! I thought it was Dragon Gate's Dragon Seed Ticket and Dragon Bone Ticket, but it turns out to be three old acquaintances from the Southern Territory."

"Amitabha!"

The one-armed Daodi appeared on the water surface of the river on the left, his hands forming a mudra. The magical energy beneath his feet transformed into a mist bridge, and he stood on the bridge.

Li Weiyi sensed something and turned around.

They saw the second-ranked of the Four Noble Truths of Coffin Mountain, the Gathering Truth, standing on the roof of a shop several dozen feet away. He possessed a unique, pure immortal body, his flesh and blood as if cast in gold, brimming with explosive power.

He is a second-class soldier in the Southern Territory, and his combat strength is no less than that of Yuwen Tuozhen.

Li Weiyi looked around again, feeling that the patrolling immortal envoy from Du'e Temple was nearby, but he couldn't see him and didn't know where he was hiding.

Qi Xiao transmitted his voice to the two of them: "The Four Truths of Coffin Mountain are all here. We definitely can't defeat them, but as long as we stay together, it will be difficult for them to do anything. Which direction should we break through?"

"How do you know you can't win without even fighting? It's inheritor against inheritor, pure immortal body against pure immortal body. I'll suffer a bit of a loss, but it's a mortal fighting against a deformed race." Shi Shishi said.

Qi Xiao wanted to strangle him, since Ji Di and Dao Di were both pure immortal bodies.

If he could fight two opponents at once, how could he possibly be ranked among the top three in the Southern Territory?

Li Weiyi certainly wanted to remove the four claws of the Four Truths of Coffin Mountain, but he was well aware of the disparity in strength between them and the enemy. He rationally said, "Stop fooling around. Break through from the left and join forces to kill Dao Di, who only has one arm left... He's here..."

The words have not yet fallen.

Standing on the opposite bank of the river, Kudi leaped into the air, his light body reaching them like an arrow released from a bow, his presence creating a powerful sense of pressure.

"Break through quickly, I'll hold her off."

Li Weiyi clenched his fingers with his left hand, circulating his magical energy.

A three-zhang-tall divine image of battle intent rose behind him. Then, a powerful and bright beam of light flew out from his fingertips.

"Ding Ding!"

The head of the staff is shaped like a stupa, with twelve large and small rings on it that vibrate violently.

The Bitter Truth swung it out, clashing head-on with the Compassionate One's Enlightened Finger.

The staff emitted a dazzling silver light, shattering the finger force, and the energy poured downwards, causing the river to explode with a roar.

The nearby trees fell down one after another.

Li Weiyi took two steps back, changing his hand seal to a palm print, transforming two fingers into five. His internal energy surged, unleashing a massive golden divine seal to defend against the staff that was striking his head.

"boom!"

Retreat again.

He left several large footprints on the riverbank, his internal energy and blood surging.
