The Primordial Law

Chapter 361 Battle Against the Demon Mother
The ghost baby's speed was unbelievably fast, like a purplish-black shadow.

The stench of blood was overwhelming.

Li Weiyi felt an extremely cold and yin power on her skin, causing her hair to stand on end. Almost instinctively, she mobilized the golden crow flames and spiritual light from the spirit world.

"Wow!"

He swung his arm as if to block.

On the back of his hand, a large patch of bright red-gold flames appeared, like a wall of light, which slapped away the approaching ghost infant from a distance.

The ghost baby crashed heavily onto a stall several dozen feet away, scattering the goods everywhere.

Its body was small, but its physical strength was extraordinary. Li Weiyi's swing of his arm could have shattered magical artifacts, but it struggled for a few moments before getting up again and pouncing on the pedestrians on the street.

The air was thick with murderous intent and malevolence, and laughter filled the air as he killed three people in the blink of an eye.

On the five-zhang-wide street, screams, shouts, and footsteps filled the air... chaos reigned as everyone fled. Top-tier experts from the Five Seas Realm intervened, but all who did were killed.

The ghost baby pounced on a shop owner who didn't have time to hide in the shop's protective formation, its tiny claws reaching for his heart.

With a whoosh, a crimson-gold spiritual light rope flew out from between Li Weiyi's brows, wrapping around its neck, several dozen feet away. He exerted force with his arm and pulled sharply.

The ghost baby screamed and cried, crashing to the ground at his feet.

The spiritual rope burned its neck, making a hissing sound.

Li Weiyi took a close look at it and couldn't help but hold his breath.

This doesn't look like a human baby at all.

It was so ferocious and terrifying, with fangs like saw teeth, bluish-black skin, and hair like a fleshy topknot.

Inside his belly was a large bulge, which was the heart he had swallowed earlier.

If this thing truly was born from drinking from the Mother-Child Spring, one can only imagine the feelings of the women who drank from the spring in the past two years, and their families.
Such a monstrous creature should be killed by everyone.

"Oh!"

Li Weiyi waved his hand, unleashing a large handprint that killed him.

The street split open, revealing a large crater, more than a meter long, shaped like a handprint. Inside, the crater was filled with purplish-black blood and bits of flesh.

Li Weiyi felt a chill run down his spine and unleashed the Golden Crow Flame, incinerating all the pieces of flesh.

"what……"

A mournful and indignant cry came from afar.

The sound waves transformed into a hurricane.

The demon mother, standing atop the stone pillar archway, was in excruciating pain, her cries filled with resentment. With her hands clenched into claws and a murderous aura surging towards Li Weiyi, she flew towards him.

Her long hair was disheveled, her eyes blazed with green flames, and her movements were unpredictable as she darted across the rooftops on both sides of the street.

As she moved, layers of frost on the ground quickly spread to Li Weiyi's feet.

"Swish! Swish..."

Six powerful imperial warriors at the Dao Seed Realm, riding on strange birds and clad in white armor, rushed into the array of light covering the street and charged towards the Ghost Mother.

Together they unleashed a net-like magical artifact. The scriptures emanating from the artifact enveloped the entire city area within a mile radius, suppressing the ghost mother and continuously binding her.

The Demon Mother was very strong, but the six men who came to capture her were no ordinary fighters.

The streets were deserted; some pedestrians fled, while others hid inside shops.

The seven figures twinkled like seven stars, their powerful energy constantly being absorbed by the formations in the sky and underground. Several miles away, the boundary marker of Dan Yue Fang also shone brightly.

The chaotic battle at the Dao Seed Realm level only destroyed one or two houses.

The surrounding city streets are dotted with numerous vermilion towers and cloud-like buildings, each over ten stories high, surrounded by secondary steps, magnificent in architecture, and offering a wide view. Countless young martial arts practitioners gathered by the railings, gazing into the distance and discussing the scene.

Li Weiyi felt some people staring at her and, not wanting to stand out, quickly left along the stone steps in front of the shop.

"Oh!"

A powerful court official in white armor was thrown horizontally like a cannonball, spitting blood as he fell to the ground a few feet away from Li Wei, unable to stand up.

He was severely injured by a single palm strike from the Ghost Mother, who was separated from him by a large net of magical artifacts.

Dozens of feet away, the Ghost Mother trapped in the net stared intently at Li Weiyi, who was trying to escape, and let out a sharp, piercing scream.

The court experts, each wielding a magical artifact, had their eardrums ruptured and felt as if their skulls were about to be smashed open by her roar.

"Stab!"

From the ancestral field of the Ghost Mother, a 1.5-meter-long cyan-gold horse-slaying sword flew out, with a hilt more than a foot long.

The purplish-black ghostly mist and the net of magical artifacts were torn apart by the azure blade light she unleashed. The blade energy, like a wall of azure light, stretched from dozens of feet away all the way to behind Li Weiyi, domineering and incredibly powerful.

In the middle of the street, which stretched for dozens of meters, a deep ditch appeared, as if it had been plowed.

The five imperial experts were all thrown out, crashing haphazardly into the array's light veil.

"She can actually use a knife?"

Li Weiyi was speechless. He had previously heard someone say that this person came from the West Sea King's Mansion and was a disciple of the Third Palace Master. This meant that he had two extraordinary backgrounds, so his strength and inheritance were unimaginable.

He rushed forward at top speed, but was blocked by the array of light and could not escape.

In an instant, the Ghost Mother had traversed dozens of feet, appearing behind Li Weiyi with her sword drawn. Her porcelain-white face was covered with dense, purplish-black veins, making her appearance extremely ferocious.

"Wow!"

She held the swords in both hands, raised them above her head, and mobilized the power of all her muscles and bones to unleash a mid-air horse-riding slash.

Countless sword energies swirled around him, and over eight hundred scriptures appeared on the blade of the cyan-gold longsword. It was actually an eighth-grade weapon with a hundred characters, so one could imagine how domineering its power was.

"forward!"

Li Weiyi's body flashed with spiritual light and flames.

Her figure shifted horizontally for several dozen feet, appearing on the top of a three-story building on the right. The Ghost Mother cleaved through the air with her sword, the blade's edge landing on the array's light veil not far away, causing the veil to tremble like a raging torrent.

Her movements were incredibly fast; she traversed the air and caught up with Li Weiyi once more, her hatred overflowing.

"Swish! Swish..."

Li Weiyi continuously used the "Forward" technique to dodge and lead her towards the five imperial experts.

Unexpectedly, even the five imperial experts had never encountered such a formidable Ghost Mother, and they all fled in disarray. As long as they could trap her here, the imperial court would soon send even stronger warriors to suppress her.

The worst part is that Li Weiyi killed her child, and she only pursued Li Weiyi.

There is no way to avoid it.

Li Weiyi abruptly stopped, standing atop the pavilion, releasing a glimpse of his divine spirit. With a wave of his arm, a branch of the Fusang Divine Tree, several meters long, appeared, its leaves like crimson gold, stirring up terrifying energy fluctuations that collided with the longsword swung by the Ghost Mother.

With a single, forceful strike, he forced her back.

They separated abruptly, then collided suddenly.

"Boom! Bang!"

One person held a branch of the Spirit Light Tree, and the other held a knife.

Sometimes advancing, sometimes retreating, the power is pure and unadulterated, a back-and-forth exchange of moves.

Even without using the Staff of All Things, Li Weiyi's mental power was no less formidable than hers. The only thing she needed to be wary of was the Rank 8 Hundred-Character Weapon, the Horse-Slaying Saber, in her hand.

Let alone beheading a horse, with her cultivation level, she could cleave a city wall in two with a single strike if there were no formation.

Two miles away, atop a towering, cylindrical cloud tower in the Immortal Forest, countless noble youths from Lingxiao City gathered, all possessing pure immortal bodies, gazing at the streets shrouded in ghostly mist.

The clash of swords and fire was deafening, with a flurry of attacks.

"This young mind master is very strong. With his spiritual light enhanced, his reactions are swift, and he can fight Song Qingli in close combat."

"His mental power is quite unique, with very strong energy. He can fight Song Qingli to a draw, so he is definitely not an ordinary person. Do you know where he comes from?"

"I have never seen this person before! Logically speaking, someone with such mastery of mental power should have become famous and entered the 'Sixty-Year Book' long ago."

“Song Qingli is the number one expert under forty years old among the Song family members of the West Sea Prince’s Mansion. Even if you include those middle-aged people in their forties and fifties, she can still rank in the top five.”

"The West Sea Prince's Mansion has been filled with talented people for sixty years, and it is no less than a family with millions of members."

……

Among the noble sons of Yunlou, there are many skilled fighters of the middle generation.

But they didn't go there, not wanting to get involved in any trouble.

Song Qingli's identity is special, involving significant interests and the reputations of many people. Winning against her and suppressing her would bring no benefit. Injuring her, however, could bring disaster.

If you lose and die at her hands... it will all be for nothing.

Tai Shiyu was the number one person in Lingxiao City with the highest level of mental power within the sixty-year lifespan. Among this group of people, he held a very high position and was surrounded by a throng of people. Martial arts masters, sons of high-ranking officials, and beautiful celestial beings all gathered around him.

"This Zuo Ning, humph, I didn't expect him to be such a busybody."

Tai Shi Yu's telekinetic senses had already noticed that area. He realized that Li Weiyi had missed the chance to escape that neighborhood because he was trying to save someone, and that he had gotten himself into trouble because he had killed the ghost infant in anger.

This behavior dispelled much of his suspicion.

I was quite worried that this person was a master planted by a cult or demon clan next to Taishi Bai.

Tai Shiyu instructed one of his retainers, "Go and investigate why Song Qingli appeared at Danyue Fang."

A cry of surprise rang out from the side: "Azure clouds obscure the moon, flowing wind swirls snow. It's the West Sea King's Palace's great sword technique, the Return to Truth Sword Technique."

On the street two miles away.

Li Weiyi originally thought that the Ghost Mother was mentally unstable and her battle tactics were chaotic, giving him the advantage. He could simply stall until the top experts of the imperial court arrived.

Suddenly, the magical energy within the Ghost Mother exploded forth, transforming into an even denser, dark blue-black cloud. The wind howled fiercely, and the snowflakes fell like knives.

She unleashed a slash, employing the second level of the Return to Truth Blade Technique, "Formless Slash".

Thousands of sword shadows flew out simultaneously, transforming into a river of swords.

The Demon Mother danced above the River of Blades, her figure splitting into three, then into nine. In each of the nine directions, there were figures and long blades.

"Wow!"

Li Weiyi quickly retreated, activated his Heavenly Eye to distinguish truth from falsehood, and summoned the Myriad Things Staff and Spear hidden in the Wind Mansion, activating it with his mental power.

"boom!"

He wielded his spear like a club, striking the lapis lazuli longsword.

Auras and sword energy surged forth in all directions, filling the entire street with their power.

He deflected the long sword.

In the next instant, Li Weiyi's figure blurred, like a wisp of green smoke, and flashed in front of the Ghost Mother. He pointed a finger at her brow and uttered a soft shout: "Zhe!"

A ring of sonic energy spread out from Li Weiyi, sending her flying like a falling leaf.

Strangely, the fierce and terrifying Ghost Mother, after being calmed and pacified by the word "者", fell to the ground, her body went limp, her long sword clattered to the ground, and she collapsed.

The purplish-black veins on his face faded quickly.

"Wow!"

The array's light veil opened, and a hundred-cavalry army from the imperial court and experts from the Western Sea King's Mansion arrived, surrounding the Ghost Mother.

An elder from the Western Sea King's Palace took off his outer robe, knelt down, and prepared to cover the Ghost Mother's face and carry her away. Just then, the Ghost Mother slightly opened her eyes and called out, "Grandpa Fu..."

The elder was slightly taken aback, not expecting that Qingli would still be able to regain her senses after being caught up in the ghost infant incident.
