The Primordial Law

Chapter 371 Two Spears Severely Injure Him
At this time, Xie Chucai was about forty feet above the ground.

It was the dense magical energy emanating from his body that condensed into clouds, supporting him as he hovered in mid-air.

With his right hand outstretched, the five fingers, guided by the external manifestation of his Daoist heart, pulled the power projected into the clouds downwards. This displayed a profound Daoist technique akin to a "heavenly fall," suppressing Li Weiyi, who was attempting to escape from above.

This magical technique was powerful and its influence spread throughout the city, pulling down the clouds from the sky for miles around.

However, top experts with exceptional insight, such as Zuoqiu Ling, Song Yulou, and Motong, all saw that Xie Chucai was too arrogant and had put himself in an extremely disadvantageous position.

We must rely on upward forces to elevate ourselves.

It also exerts a downward pulling force from a distance, with the upper and lower parts clashing against each other, like hitting itself.

Song Yulou watched the spear of light descending from the sky: "Escape and attack, switching in an instant. It seems that Xie Chucai's current dangerous situation is the result of his careful planning. This Zuo Ning's combat wisdom and adaptability are rare among the younger generation."

"Faced with an invincible enemy, he not only showed no fear but also tried every means to fight back. This mindset and ability to withstand pressure are far superior to those of Emperor Chen and Cao Shisan." Zuo Qiuling knew Li Weiyi very well. He was extremely resilient, had versatile fighting styles, and was a peerless genius born for martial arts.

Xie Chucai certainly didn't think he was being presumptuous.

The opponent was merely a five-star Spiritualist. Even if I wasn't at the sixth level of cultivation, but only at the fifth level, I could easily kill him with a single punch. Just like how the Demon Child nearly killed the well-prepared Tai Shi Yu, who was at the same level, in just two moves.

Xie Chucai only cared about one thing: he had to lock down and suppress Zuo Ning, and prevent him from using spatial escape techniques again.

"You still dare to fight back?"

Xie Chucai smiled calmly and exhaled a burst of wind.

In the storm, magical energy condensed into dozens of flying blades.

This is not a simple breath of magic energy, but a Dao technique. Even a six-star spiritual master and a martial artist at the sixth level of the Dao Seed Realm would be torn to shreds.

"Wow!"

Li Wei plunged headfirst into the storm of magical energy, star trail patterns appearing on his body, the array's light and shadow flickering. He used the star trail patterns to deflect all the flying blades.

The spear pierced through Xie Chucai's protective aura and struck directly between his eyebrows.

Xie Chucai was slightly surprised, but remained calm. He released Xuanbing energy from the five fingers of his right hand, grasped the Wanwu Spear, and easily neutralized the full force of Li Weiyi's attack.

This was completely unexpected by everyone.

Li Weiyi seemed to have been prepared all along, instantly discarding his spear.

With a single strike of his left hand, his arm created countless afterimages.

A five-star spiritualist is about to engage in close combat with Xie Chucai?

"Oh!"

Li Weiyi withstood Xie Chucai's palm strike, causing his spiritual armor to shatter and turn into a shower of light.

Xie Chucai's palm strike lacked follow-through; he only delivered one-tenth of his full power, failing to injure Li Weiyi. He himself stiffened, as if petrified, and plummeted straight down from mid-air.

"forward!"

Li Weiyi's body suddenly flashed, and he chased downwards, grabbing the ten-foot-long Staff of All Things.

"Pfft!"

The gleaming spear struck Xie Chucai's chest.

"boom!"

Li Wei's spear slammed Xie Chucai to the ground, blood gushing from his chest.

The ground trembled violently beneath Xie Chucai, and cracks spread outwards as the spearhead pierced through his body.

The outcome of a battle can be decided in an instant.

Most of the martial arts practitioners present were unaware of what had happened; Xie Chucai had been impaled on the ground, severely injured by a spear.

Xie Chucai clearly had the upper hand...

"It's a freezing talisman! First, we lured Xie Chucai into the air, then broke through his protective aura with a spear, and finally, we withstood his palm strike and hit the talisman on him. Everything was within our calculations, and Xie Chucai's defeat was not unjust," said Song Yulou.

Ge Xiantong stroked his chin and looked at Jiang Ning not far away: "The way he used to stick on the talisman just now, the one hand transforming into ten thousand hands, looks somewhat familiar. It's like that amazing technique someone used to seize weapons and capture people. That fourth divine son of the heretical cult?"

Jiang Ning said calmly, "In two years, who can cultivate their mental power to the level of a five-star spiritual master?"

Ge Xiantong remained noncommittal, but a smile appeared in his eyes: "This is interesting! Xie Chucai just claimed that he would take in everyone under the age of forty in the Lingxiao Realm, but he was immediately crippled by an unknown five-star spiritual master. This is too embarrassing."

Li Weiyi drew his Myriad Things Spear and, before the All-Encompassing Immobilization Talisman was shattered, unleashed a second spear strike.

"Don't kill him yet..."

Taishi Bai shouted.

He knew Xie Chucai's background and worried that Li Weiyi would kill him, bringing about a terrible disaster.

"Snapped!"

The spearhead shattered Xie Chucai's left thigh bone and pierced through it.

At this moment, Xie Chucai shattered the immobilization talisman with his powerful physical body and magical energy, letting out a scream, no longer as silent as before.

"court death!"

The demon child flew down from the top of the palace, carrying a vast cloud of demonic energy. His five fingers covered the sky and the earth, intending to kill Li Wei with a single palm strike.

Zuoqiu Ling and the others had been waiting for their chance to strike for a long time. With a whoosh, he appeared beside the demon child, grabbed his head with his five fingers, and lifted his body above his head. Then, with a loud thud, he slammed him into the ground.

It's like smashing a rag doll.

The entire plaza outside the palace had collapsed.

Zuoqiu Ling kicked the demon child away and scolded him in a deep voice: "With a mind like yours, do you deserve to be the senior brother of the Du'e Temple? Xie Chucai lost to a five-star spiritual master at the sixth level. It was his own carelessness that led to this defeat. You, a ninth-level martial artist, dare to kill a cultivator at the lower level of the Lingxiao Life Realm. I can kill you."

"Letting you go this time is to save face for Du'e Temple."

The demon child spat out a mouthful of blood, but his strong body withstood it. After rolling several times on the ground, he leaped to his feet.

He gritted his teeth, his brow furrowed, a blood-red pagoda flashing between his brows, his killing intent surging. In a grown man's voice, he roared, "Commander Zuoqiu, does your Zuoqiu sect still want the support of the Du'e Temple?"

Zuoqiu Ling coldly said, "Which side the Du'e Temple supports is not up to you, a martial artist at the Dao Seed Realm."

Song Yulou's melodious voice rang out: "Demon Child, now you should understand, right? There's no point in being arrogant in the Dao Seed Realm. Hurry up and break through to the Longevity Realm. Zuoqiu Ling and I are both waiting for your challenge."

"Fine! We'll meet in the Longevity Realm and see who kills whom then." The Demon Child stared intently at Zuoqiu Ling, filled with resentment.

The other end.

Xie Chucai let out a long roar, and his magical energy surged wildly out of his body, allowing him to stand up on one leg.

From his ancestral field flew a ninth-grade, hundred-character weapon sword, which he used to support his body: "To attack me with a talisman made by someone else, is this the conduct of a Lingxiao Realm cultivator? Come, let's fight again. Even if I am seriously injured, I can still defeat you."

Li Weiyi stepped back to Taishi Bai's side to check his injuries.

Tai Shi Bai said disdainfully, "They already showed mercy just now, otherwise you would have been dead on the spot. The top geniuses of Du'e Temple, is this a sore loser?"

Song Lin said, "You've lost a lot of blood and are so badly injured. Even if we win a fight against you, you'll definitely say we won unfairly."

Xie Chucai looked around and saw countless mocking eyes. He was furious: "A five-star spirit master can immobilize me? That immobilization talisman, either he bought it or Taishi Yu made it. Did I lose to him? I lost to you talisman masters of the Lingxiao Realm."

In fact, everyone present had this thought, but for the sake of Lingxiao Shengjing's reputation, they naturally could not admit it.

Even an dishonorable victory is still a victory, and it's better than losing.

No one believed that Zuo Ning, with her mental power, could draw a talisman to immobilize Xie Chucai, a figure far more powerful than many seventh-level martial artists. In other words, even a seventh-level Dao Seed Realm martial artist could be immobilized.

If a five-star spiritualist were this powerful, would they still be called a five-star spiritualist?
Li Weiyi said, "What are you barking about? Can't accept defeat? Once you've recovered from your injuries, I'll accept your challenge."

Xie Chucai said, "Your Excellency is proficient in the art of disguise. Who knows where Zuo Ning will be at that time? You are a five-star spiritualist. Do you dare to challenge the 'Ninefold Dao Image Diagram'? As long as you can defeat the Dao image of the strongest person in the fifth level of the Dao Seed Realm of the Crossing Calamity Temple, it will prove that my defeat today was not unjust."

Ge Xiantong laughed heartily: "Xie Chucai is right. I think Zuo Ning's mental power is extraordinary. He may not be inferior to Qin Qiu at the same level. We can give it a try. If he breaks through the fifth level of Dao Image, it will convince Senior Brother Xie and Senior Brother Motong that Lingxiao is full of outstanding talents."

The top experts, including Song Yulou, exchanged glances, their eyes filled with hope.

Just now, Zuo Ning did indeed use an unknown immobilization talisman. However, it was enough to block Xie Chucai's Taoist magic, break through his protective aura, and strike the talisman onto him.

This is something that an ordinary five-star spirit master cannot do!

Li Weiyi had no intention of challenging the "Ninefold Dao Image Diagram," nor did he even consider fighting Xie Chucai. The more high-profile he was, the more he would expose himself. The Nine Li Hidden Sect still had many things to do that needed to be done in secrecy.

"You challenge me, so I'll challenge you. Who do you think you are?"

Li Weiyi helped the seriously injured Taishi Bai, preparing to leave.

Song Lin strode over, cupped his hands in a salute, and said excitedly, "Brother Zuo Ning, you've been hiding your true strength! I see that your mental power is enough to defeat a martial artist at the sixth level of the Dao Seed Realm. The patriarch would like to have a talk with you."

Song Lin looked at Taishi Bai with pleading eyes, hoping he could say a few words on his behalf.

What we can talk about is definitely the "Ninefold Daoist Image Diagram".

After all, from the moment the Third Palace Master issued the summons for the "Jiazi Book," this matter had already become linked to the Third Palace Master's reputation.

Tai Shi Bai's chest wound had stopped bleeding. He looked at Li Weiyi and said, "Zuo Ning, I know you are worried about your identity and afraid that being too high-profile will bring you trouble. But the Third Palace Master's summons said that as long as you can break the Dao Image Diagram, no matter which side you come from, she will guarantee your safety."

"Your high-profile breakthrough to the Dao image is equivalent to having the Third Palace Master's promise to protect you, making you even safer. Anyone who tries to harm you should think twice."

Song Lin smiled wryly, "This also concerns the reputation of the West Sea Prince's Mansion. My uncle will surely reward us handsomely."

After a moment of contemplation, Li Weiyi agreed and followed Song Lin to Song Yulou's side.

He was a man who understood human relationships, and he bowed respectfully, saying, "Greetings, Master!"

"Do not bow. Tonight, I, Song, have a favor to ask of you."

Song Yulou helped Li Weiyi up with both hands and sighed, "The Jiazi Banquet is a tradition of martial arts practitioners in the Jiazi Book. In a sense, it represents retiring from the profession and focusing on cultivation. Now that things have turned out like this, tomorrow the West Sea Prince's Mansion and I will surely become the laughing stock of the entire Lingxiao City."

"If we cannot win a fair and square victory against them, in the eyes of all martial artists in the world, the West Sea King's Mansion will be a sinner, disgracing the entire Lingxiao Realm."

"Zuoqiu Hui is accused of bullying the weak, I am afraid of fighting, and Taishi Yu and the other two are overestimating themselves... Alas, so far, not a single level of the Ninefold Dao Image Diagram has been broken, and they can't even withstand ten moves without being defeated. Everyone is ashamed."

“If other powerful beings see that my Lingxiao martial arts are so weak compared to others, they might develop some unwarranted ambitions. The Third Palace Master takes this matter very seriously.”

Li Weiyi understood somewhat why someone as detached as the Third Palace Master could take a liking to Song Yulou.

This person is not only handsome, but also gentle and refined, with impeccable manners. His talent for breaking through the barriers of time in the Jiazi year makes him an absolute dragon among men.

Li Weiyi said, "Even experts at the Inheritor level can't withstand ten moves against each other at the same cultivation level?"

Zuoqiu Ling said, "Inheritors are divided into three levels. First-level inheritors like Cang Li and Zhu Yibai are actually very rare. Even if the young emperor wanted to kill them, he would have to pay a price. Second-level inheritors like Lu Cangsheng are also extremely rare, with only one appearing in the Thunder Cloud Sect every thousand years. The vast majority are normal inheritor martial arts practitioners."
