The Primordial Law

Chapter 231 Heaven is dead, Huang Tian is here to stand

"Do you think I qualify as a martial arts practitioner at the inheritor level?" Li Weiyi suddenly asked.

Jiang Ning had previously witnessed the clash between Li Weiyi and Kudi and Daodi from the shadows, and was naturally pleased with his achievements: "I guess so! But Kudi is only the eighth in the first class of the Southern Territory. You are still far behind her, and you are several levels behind Ge Xiantong."

Li Weiyi said, "Li Jiufu lost an arm to Luan Shenglinyou, but he did not escape from Qiuzhou City."

“Cang Li’s head was nearly smashed by Luan Shenglin’s child, but he was not intimidated and still dared to fight again.”

"Lu Cangsheng and Longdian knew that the strength of Leixiao Sect and Longmen was far inferior to that of the imperial court and the Ash Region of the Far West, yet they still dared to participate in the Hidden Dragon Lantern Festival. To be honest, although from my own perspective I would call them the two worms of the Eastern Territory, they do have a heroic spirit of not admitting defeat and daring to meet challenges."

Jiang Ning's thoughts drifted to the Five Seas Realm of Burial Immortal Town, the battle with the Fire Crow Cavalry on the Sui River, and... that night at the Ancestral Warrior's Marsh.

Perhaps the reason I value him so much is because he always has a fighting spirit that can turn the impossible into possible.

Jiang Ning maintained her icy expression, controlling her emotions: "You have your reasons, and I have mine. You can't convince me, and I can't convince you. Perhaps the ways of thinking of women and men are inherently different."

"Then let's fight. I'll beat you so badly you'll be back to your fighting strength from seven days ago, or even before the New Year. By then, you'll know you have to leave Qiuzhou City!"

Li Weiyi knew very well that Jiang Ning's reasoning was that "Li Weiyi had absolutely no chance of surviving in Ge Xiantong's hands."

……

Peach and Plum Mountain, three heavens high.

Yin Jun and Zuo Qiuling stood side by side, gazing towards the east of the city, their eyes filled with solemnity.

"The Second Palace Master's methods must be to first recruit, and if that fails, eliminate them immediately. Since Jiang Ning was already involved in the recruitment, who would be responsible for the killing?" Zuoqiu Ling already had the answer in his mind.

The recluse said, "I only hope that the court will underestimate the enemy."

“I’m more worried that Li Weiyi won’t even be able to get past Jiang Ning. We’ve all been young, and which young man can resist the charms of a beautiful woman? Just like Yao Qingxuan back then, if she had just mentioned her to me, I would have definitely brought her to the Zuoqiu Sect. No old man could have stopped me.” Zuoqiu Ling felt extremely heartbroken whenever he recalled those days.

"Still thinking about what happened back then?"

Yin Jun gave him a cold look and said, "You should worry more about the situation tonight!"

Riverside.

Li Weiyi suddenly distanced himself from Jiang Ning, drew his Yellow Dragon Sword, its cold light gleaming, and laughed loudly: "The imperial court? The imperial court is already in decline, its great edifice is about to collapse, both externally and internally decaying. I advise your Jiang family to choose another wise ruler as soon as possible, or to rise up in rebellion, otherwise you will not escape the misfortune of family destruction and clan extinction."

Li Weiyi was worried that Jiang Ning might show leniency and alert the Second Palace Master. Therefore, she spoke very harshly and viciously, intending to truly provoke her.

"Zheng!"

Jiang Ning summoned the Jingyu Sword, and the magical energy within his body bloomed like clouds, enveloping the buildings on both sides of the street. He coldly said, "You won't listen to reason, so you'll have to drink the penalty cup! You dare to curse the imperial court and the Jiang family. You are too ungrateful."

All parties were alarmed.

"It seems the talks have broken down!"

……

Many eyes turned to look over there.

Whether it's Jiang Ning killing the meteoric Li Weiyi, or Li Weiyi escaping from Jiang Ning's grasp, it's no small matter.

"This is not a curse, but a fact. How many of the twenty-eight states of Lingxiao are still under the control of the imperial court? The turbulent currents of this world are rolling forward, and you cannot stop them."

Li Weiyi retreated to the bridge, and in the night wind, he raised his hand with high spirits and shouted: "The Azure Heaven is dead, the Yellow Heaven shall rise. In the year of Jiazi, great fortune will come to the world."

Jiang Ning was genuinely angered by him; he dared to say anything, which was forcing her to take drastic measures.

As members of the imperial court, how could they possibly listen to such rebellious slogans?

"When autumn comes on the ninth day of the ninth month, my flowers will bloom and all others will wither. The fragrance will soar to the heavens, and the whole city will be adorned with golden armor," Li Weiyi shouted again.

"you wanna die!"

Jiang Ning could no longer tolerate it, fearing that this traitor would utter even more treasonous words.

A sword's cold light pierced the night!

She moved like a fairy, instantly traversing a distance of several dozen feet to reach the bridgehead.

"Wow!"

The magical energy emanating from his body automatically condensed into sharp white feathers in mid-air. The white feathers, along with the sword light, attacked Li Weiyi.

Li Weiyi knew that her cultivation was extremely high and she was constantly improving, so he dared not fight her head-on. He jumped off the bridge and landed on the water.

They leaped up like dragonflies skimming the water, their feet treading on blue smoke, and fled along the river towards the southern city.

As long as he escapes back to Nancheng, with the strength of the Jiuli tribe and the Zuoqiu clan, neither Jiang Ning nor Ge Xiantong will be able to do anything to him.

With his Qingxu Chachan Step, Li Weiyi is even faster than Kudi.

but……

It only rushed out a dozen or so feet.

To Li Weiyi's shock, a white feather of magical energy floated in front of him.

Only after becoming Jiang Ning's enemy did he realize how terrifying these white feathers were. They were omnipresent and as sharp as flying knives, constantly attacking his protective aura.

Even more terrifying, five-zhang-long white wings of light sprouted from Jiang Ning's back, illuminating the heavens with pure and flawless light, and instantly caught up with him.

"Trying to escape back to the South City? Dream on!"

She hovered several feet above the ground on the river surface in front of Li Weiyi, her aura reaching its peak, and swung her sword.

A dazzling sword aura, tens of meters long, like solidified ripples, completely enveloped Li Weiyi's vision.

There is nowhere to hide.

Li Wei stood on the river surface, his battle intent manifesting behind him, as if standing on a turbulent sea, raising his sword and slashing down.

"Taiyi Opens the Sea!"

"boom!"

One horizontal and one vertical, the two sword lights clashed together.

Jiang Ning's sword energy was too thick and heavy, as if it were boundless.

Li Weiyi failed to completely cleave the sword and was struck by the residual force of the sword energy. Fortunately, he had already activated the three layers of protective magic armor on his body, and his body flew backward, his chest feeling as if he had been cleaved by a wooden stick.

In Zangxian Town, Jiang Ning already possessed the combat power to hunt down Long Ting.

He continued to expand his ancestral lands, and his cultivation level improved steadily over the past few months.

With her current strength, it would be extremely difficult for an ordinary inheritor to escape from her. "It seems she really wants to severely injure me and personally expel me from the Hidden Dragon Lantern Society. Yes, if I can't even get past her, how can I get past Ge Xiantong? She's really assessing me!"

You cannot fight her in open areas.

Li Weiyi left the riverbed, traversed the forest, and then slipped into alleys and culverts, thereby weakening Jiang Ning's speed advantage brought by his light wings.

"Shh!"

Jiang Ning folded her wings and landed on the ground, plunging into the dense jungle of buildings and disappearing from Li Weiyi's sight.

Li Weiyi sensed something was wrong and quickly released his mental perception, maximizing his hearing and smell. He looked up at the inner city wall ahead and continued south.

Suddenly, a warning sign arose.

Hundreds and thousands of sword energies surged forth from the darkness like a tide.

Jiang Ning used an unknown sword technique, seemingly capable of single-handedly withstanding a thousand troops, and his internal energy was many times more abundant than Li Weiyi's.

"Bang bang!"

Li Weiyi used footwork to continuously swing his sword, creating an impenetrable defense. He erected a sword net in front of him, shattering all the incoming sword energy.

Before my eyes, figures flickered like phantoms.

Dozens of sword shadows appeared simultaneously, scattered haphazardly everywhere.

Li Weiyi remained calm and composed, observing the situation closely, and pinpointed her most crucial sword strike.

This sword was aimed directly at his wrist, intending to sever his tendons and prevent him from regaining his fighting strength for several days.

Li Weiyi formed a palm with his left hand, unleashing a golden divine seal formed from palm force, attempting to evade Jiang Ning. Jiang Ning did not retreat, his momentum undiminished, and he also unleashed a palm seal with his left hand.

"Oh!"

Their palms collided, and a surge of magical energy overflowed from them.

Li Weiyi was forced back several dozen feet, carving a long furrow beneath his feet. His left arm, from which the palm strikes collided, was numb with pain.

Although his right hand, which was holding the sword, was saved, it was still cut with a bloody gash that broke through the skin.

Before he could even breathe a sigh of relief and allow his numb left arm to heal.

Jiang Ning unleashed another powerful sword strike.

Li Weiyi bravely charged forward.

The two swords clashed violently, and Li Weiyi was forced to retreat, crashing heavily into the inner city wall.

Jiang Ning transmitted her voice through magic energy: "Now you know the difference, right?"

“In terms of speed alone, I don’t think Ge Xiantong can match you. So the fact that you can catch up with me every time doesn’t prove anything,” Li Weiyi said.

"Then come again."

Jiang Ning swiftly dragged his sword, the two blades rubbing together with a piercing sound and sparks flying. Then, he swung the sword upwards, aiming for his waist and abdomen.

Li Weiyi had long since mastered the Ruyi Qiankun Sword to an extremely high level. His sword moves were unpredictable and could be changed at will. After blocking her sword, his body retreated to the top of the city wall like a swimming dragon.

Jiang Ning moved with lightning speed, the Jingyu Sword seemingly attached to the Huanglong Sword, chasing after him up the city wall and stabbing towards his neck. He then transmitted his voice with magical energy: "I haven't even used the Dragon Awakening Technique yet!"

"Be careful!" Li Weiyi warned.

Jiang Ning's expression changed slightly, and his magical energy surged out like an explosion, blasting away all seven Phoenix Winged Moth Kings that had launched a sneak attack.

Li Weiyi quickly retreated to create distance between herself and her.

He had already suffered internal injuries from the brief exchange just now. Wiping the blood from the corner of his mouth, he said, "What a formidable Fairy Yu! No wonder she is the Second Palace Master's disciple. But these injuries are nothing!"

Even though Jiang Ning knew that Li Weiyi might already possess the combat power of a successor, she was still amazed that he could block so many of her swords. She saw in him a masculine spirit that many of the eunuchs in the imperial court lacked.

Li Weiyi swung his left arm like a whip, and after his magical energy circulated in his golden meridian, the pain and numbness disappeared instantly.

His rapid recovery speed is another advantage that allows him to face opponents stronger than himself.

Seeing Jiang Ning's slender figure become blurry and unrecognizable, Li Weiyi was extremely annoyed.

She's too fast!
Li Wei's magical energy surged to the soles of his feet, and with a leap, he appeared ten zhang tall. During this ascent, a dragon shadow flashed beneath his feet.

With the second step, he stepped into the air, his body rose again, and he headed south.

Step three, step four...

The yellow dragon ascended to the sky, each step covering ten zhang (approximately 33 meters), moving at an extremely fast speed.

This movement technique was so extraordinary that no martial artist in the city had ever heard of or seen it before. Before long, Li Weiyi appeared as if ascending to the heavens, standing beneath the low-lying dark clouds, as if he were about to cross the city from a height of hundreds of meters above the ground and return to the south city.

Unfortunately, he encountered Jiang Ning, who could fly.

After a brief moment of surprise, Jiang Ning spread her wings and took flight, catching up with him. Behind her, a magnificent and mysterious pavilion and palace complex appeared, revealing her battle intent.

The attack unleashed solely from her battle intent caused Li Weiyi's internal energy to become disordered, rendering him unable to use the Yellow Dragon Ascend to Heaven and causing him to plummet to the ground.

"The magical energy of the Fourth Sea is indeed problematic; it is very unstable."

Li Weiyi released clouds of magical energy from his feet, dissipating the force of his fall.

"boom!"

It crashed heavily to the ground, causing a large dent and crack in the street.

Don't wait for him to get up.

Jiang Ning had arrived from above, and the two chased and retreated, their sword shadows flashing countless times as they exchanged several blows.

"Swish! Swish..."

Seven phoenix-winged moth queens arrived, like seven flying knives, surrounding Jiang Ning.

Their bodies were already close to seven inches long, only lacking the final transformation. Each one possessed combat power comparable to a mortal martial artist newly entering the Seventh Sea.

With seven of them working together, their combat power should not be underestimated.

They initially didn't want to attack Jiang Ning, but Li Weiyi told them that only by staying could they obtain enough dragon bones and dragon seeds. These two items would be enough to make their bodies stronger and allow them to quickly transform into commander-level strange insects.

Li Weiyi and the seven Phoenix-Winged Moth Kings joined forces, and the eight forces collided with Jiang Ning's battle intent, causing the street to explode and rubble to fly everywhere.
