The Primordial Law

Chapter 605 Capturing Haruhachi
With Li Weiyi's current martial arts cultivation, the Emperor Dragon Soul he activated has reached a level of combat power that is difficult for ordinary peak third-realm martial artists to match.

Its body was covered in wind and thunder, its dragon form swaying and twisting, breaking through the blazing and boiling karmic fire. Then it raised its huge dragon head, opened its mouth to reveal sharp teeth, glared at the dragon-elephant corpse below, and let out a dragon roar of the Son of Heaven.

The Dragon Elephant Corpse Lord was so intimidated by its power that he took two steps back, losing his previous ferocity.

"Taiyi Opens the Sea!"

Li Weiyi burst forth from above the White Mist Dragon Soul, combining mental power and martial arts into one, raising his sword above his head, his entire body radiating four brilliant colors.

A certain law of heaven and earth perfectly aligned with this sword strike. Instantly, a wondrous scene of rippling blue waves appeared all around, the roar of the water enveloping Huo Yunhou and Longxiang Shihou.

At this moment, Li Weiyi's fighting spirit reached an unprecedented peak, his eyes blazing, and he cleaved the magnificent blue sea with a single sword strike.

"Wow!"

The dragon-elephant corpse, with legs as thick as pillars, retreated again, causing the ground to sink. It was terrified by the Emperor Dragon Soul and Li Weiyi, completely losing the aura and composure of a third-realm expert.

The Fire Cloud Marquis riding on its back remained calm, releasing thousands of Yin Ghost Scriptures from the ancient and heavy longsword in his hand.

In an instant, fiery clouds rose like a sea overhead, and a horizontal slash of the sword blocked Li Weiyi's unparalleled straight sword strike.

"Crack!"

The longsword in Huoyunhou's hand, weighing an unknown amount of tens of thousands of pounds, was cut in two by the Yellow Dragon Sword.

The sword's edge slashed down, landing on its crimson armor.

With a loud thud, Huoyun Hou's body was thrown off the back of Longxiang Shihou and crashed heavily to the ground several dozen feet away. Earth and rocks flew everywhere, and the ground sank deeply.

Its armor was cleaved open, and it held only a broken sword.

Despite possessing the cultivation level of the peak of the third stage of the Longevity Realm, he was defeated in just the first round.

At the same time, the clash between the White Mist Dragon Soul and the Dragon Elephant Corpse Lord was a complete rout, forcing the White Mist Dragon Soul to retreat steadily and only able to parry.

"Wow!"

Qingzao caught up and, behind the White Mist Dragon Soul, leaped up like a beam of light, hovering in the air, and unleashed the fourth level of the perfected sword technique, which she had used to slay a demon cultivator at the third stage of the Longevity Realm in the Netherworld of the Heavenly Capital River.

His magical energy surged forth, transforming into magnificent clouds that covered several miles of sky and earth.

With a single slash, a sword aura distorted the air and blurred vision, stretching from east to west.

"puff!"

The White Mist Dragon Soul was a beat too slow; before the wind and thunder it spat out could land on her, it was cleaved in two by her sword, turning into wisps of soul mist.

A deep ravine, several miles long, appeared on the ground, a shocking sight, its power capable of severing rivers.

On the other side, Huo Yunhou's armor was shattered by Li Weiyi's third sword strike.

Beneath the armor, a shallow gash was carved into the golden bones by the sword's edge, running from the right shoulder down to the abdomen. At the gash, the bones hissed and burned.

This kind of burning is not a flame that it cultivates itself.

Instead, it was the sword energy of the Yellow Dragon Sword, used to ward off evil and destroy demons, that was burning its body.

"How strange! What level of cultivation does he possess?"

Huo Yunhou's skeletal skull and fiery eyes showed a mixture of horror and shock. He lost the will to fight against Li Weiyi, and with his legs engulfed in crimson flames, he immediately fled into the distance.

The sword energy that has invaded the bones must be refined first.

Li Wei ignored it and hurried toward the jade boat.

Out of the corner of his eye, he glanced at Qingzao, who was chasing after him. He was secretly puzzled as to why Qingzao's sword strike had been aimed at the White Mist Dragon Soul instead of him.

If the attack were aimed at him, he would have no chance to injure Huo Yunhou; instead, he might be injured by the combined attack of the two masters.

He didn't believe that Qingzao, with her speed and agility, couldn't avoid the dragon soul's attack.

Li Weiyi actually underestimated himself.

The Taiyin Sect had already compiled information and discovered that Li Weiyi had not used any trump cards or killing techniques since entering the Ancient Kingdom of Time Ruins. In other words, with most martial artists having exhausted their trump cards and killing techniques, he had become extremely dangerous.

Qingzao never imagined that she would push Li Weiyi to the brink of despair.

Instead, they wanted to slowly wear him down.

In Qingzao's view, Li Weiyi's prolonged use of the jade boat had severely depleted his internal magical energy. After activating the Emperor Dragon Soul once, his internal magical energy must have been almost completely depleted.

Once that Heavenly Dragon Soul is shattered, Li Weiyi won't be able to release a second one for a short period of time.

Next, all you need to do is "retreat when the enemy attacks, and pursue when the enemy flees."

"Little Li, you're really amazing. You wounded a Bone Marquis at the peak of the third realm with just two sword strikes. Even I would have a hard time doing that. If you were to cultivate in the Ancient Kingdom of Time Ruins for another six, seven, or eight years, what would become of you?"

Qingzao's charming voice was close to her ear, her tone amused, while her figure was dozens of feet away.

"I won't allow Sister Qing to be so self-deprecating. My Dragon Soul, which is at the peak of the third realm, was shattered by your sword. You are still more powerful." Li Weiyi tried to persuade her.

Previously, Li Wei's only energy was focused on dealing with Huoyun Hou, which gave Qingzao an opportunity to take advantage of the situation.

If he had focused entirely on controlling the dragon soul, the outcome would have been completely different.

When facing two opponents, one will inevitably have to give up on one and lose the other.

In front.

"Boom!"

Shirakawa stood amidst the wind and sand, his body covered in old and new wounds, his robes stained with blood, as if he had just been released from the gallows.

He paid no heed to the pain in his body, and with one hand he unleashed a pillar of magical energy, manipulating the Yin-Yang Gong to violently collide with the Purple Heaven Thunder Seal emanating from the jade boat.

The swastika counterattack.

The energy and scriptures released by the two magical artifacts were so powerful that ordinary martial artists at the Longevity Realm dared not approach them.

Li Weiyi stopped a hundred feet away from the jade boat, raised his spiritual light to protect himself from the residual force of the swastika weapon, and looked towards Bai Chuan in the distance.

Their eyes met.

"It's a still frame!"

Li Weiyi noticed a hint of familiarity in the eyes of Tu Mian Gou and Xu Daoqing from Bai Chuan's gaze, and thus made this judgment.

In an instant, the events that had happened to Shirakawa over the past period of time flashed through his mind.

During the battle in the Netherworld of Vanye Valley, Bai Chuan was likely captured alive by the Taiyin Sect, and during this time he probably suffered a lot of torture.

Logically speaking, a hostage as important as Bai Chuan, whose value is immeasurable, should be negotiable and traded with the Bai family. Chu Yutian would never hand him over to Jing Zhen for soul-devouring and possession.

unless……

Still frames can offer more valuable assets.

Li Weiyi is undoubtedly this bargaining chip.

Jingzhen will naturally try to persuade Chu Yutian to know that Li Weiyi is more valuable than Baichuan.

"Li Weiyi, we meet again!"

A smile played on Shirakawa's lips, a sly glint in his eyes.

Then, while manipulating the Yin-Yang Gong with his magical energy, he took out two large black flags, one in each hand, and with a winding and unpredictable movement, dodged the lightning released by the Purple Heaven Thunder Seal and rushed towards the jade boat.

The still frame, with Shirakawa as its body, caught Li Weiyi off guard.

This means that the Taiyin Sect has gained another master at the true disciple level.

It's important to understand that Mo Duanfeng could easily defeat a top expert like Xu Daoqing, who was at the peak of the third realm, without even using a sword. The difference in skill level is evident.

Shirakawa is by no means weaker than Mo Duanfeng.

The jade boat was the mode of transportation used by the governor of Lingxiao Realm a thousand years ago. Qing Zijin controlled the magical energy within the Great Longevity Battle Corpse Puppet, which was enough to unleash the powerful defensive force within the boat.

But Li Wei knew that she had no chance against Jing Zhen, who possessed Bai Chuan's body, and couldn't hold out for long. There was only one option left.

Jingzhen and Qingzao both thought that Li Weiyi must be extremely anxious and would rush to intercept the jade boat at all costs.

This is exactly what they wanted!

Their biggest concern was that Li Weiyi would urge the governor's robe to escape alone, which would increase the difficulty of intercepting and pursuing him several times over.

To their surprise, Li Weiyi neither fled nor rushed towards the jade boat.

Instead, he suddenly turned around and rushed towards Haruhachi, who was chasing behind him, at an extremely fast speed.

"I'm still the target! You still won't give up."

Qingzao smiled and called out Li Weiyi's purpose.

At this moment, Li Weiyi's magical energy was greatly depleted, and he was unable to absorb the magical energy of heaven and earth to recover. He was also worried about Qing Zijin, who could be captured by Jing Zhen at any moment. Qing Zao, on the other hand, was at her absolute peak, with the advantage of timing and location, and a large number of people were rushing to the scene, so she could advance or retreat at will.

With the balance of power shifting, Li Weiyi's audacity in trying to break the deadlock by capturing her was utterly laughable to Qingzao.

"The morning glow stretches for thousands of miles."

Qingzao stood proudly with her sword in hand, unleashing her strongest Taoist technique.

Within a radius of several miles, the magical energy ignited like the morning glow, threatening to spread like wildfire.

Her radiance grew ever brighter, transforming into a blazing sun.

Their forms melted into the red sun.

"The wrathful Vajra."

Li Weiyi unleashed the Six Like Burning Karma, the fourth level of its mastery. The celestial radiance within the Divine Palace was fully released, merging with the four-colored spiritual flames in the Spirit Realm to form a three-zhang-tall Vajra Buddha image.

The Six Like Burning Karma is a great art.

However, the Sixfold Burning Karma, which combines mental cultivation and martial arts, is an imperial technique.

The battle prowess unleashed by Li Weiyi was even stronger than that of a fourth-level imperial technique.

"Boom!"

The Vajra Buddha's shadow rushed into the morning glow, colliding with the red sun and forcing the clear morning within the sun to retreat continuously.

Despite Qingzao's profound cultivation and boundless spiritual energy, his face turned from red to white, then from white to green, and he was forced to retreat. He used all his strength to withstand the Vajra Buddha's shadow.

The two supreme Taoist techniques were annihilated on the plain.

She stood in the center of the sandstorm, sword in hand, her chest heaving as she gasped for breath. Then she laughed: "Little Li, was that an Imperial Technique? It's very powerful; I almost couldn't block it. After this move, your internal energy will be depleted. You won't even be able to use your governor's robe for spatial teleportation. How are you going to fight now?"

Qing had already exhausted Li Weiyi's magical energy, and having achieved her goal, she was naturally in a great mood.

Amidst the sandstorm, four battle-dead puppets emerged, forming a semi-encircling stance, surrounding Qingzao in the center, each wielding a magical weapon.

Li Weiyi stood behind the two sixth-realm mummies, directly in front of Qingzao's line of sight.

His eyes were serious, and a splash of crimson blood spilled from his left palm, landing on the four war corpse puppets.

"I have one last move, Ancient Immortal Dragon Blood."

"It was originally intended to be used against a True Disciple level expert, but now I can only use it on you for the time being."

The blood that Li Weiyi spilled was not the blood of the ancient immortal dragon, but rather his own blood that he had collected long ago.

The strongest state of a puppet war corpse is achieved by combining the ancient Chinese character "临" (Lin) with the puppet script.

This is the final drip of blood to revive the corpse.

Qingzao frowned, sensing four dangerous auras. The empty eyes of the four war corpse puppets shone with intelligence, and they released an aura of great longevity.

The magical energy circulated within them, surging towards the weapons in their hands.

The four thousand-character artifacts in their hands were obtained by Li Weiyi from killing the Marquis of the Departed, and their quality was not low. Under the stimulation of the Great Longevity Dharma Qi, densely packed scriptures were released.

"What kind of secret technique is this? Your background is too mysterious!"

Qingzao's expression changed drastically as she realized that she had made the grave mistake of underestimating her opponent. She shouldn't have given Li Weiyi the opportunity to get close to Bu Shi. Otherwise, she wouldn't have fallen into the encirclement while weakened after using her strongest Dao technique.

She moved with lightning speed, immediately using her movement technique to flee far away.

However, having just used "Morning Glow Across Ten Thousand Miles," his condition had not fully recovered, and his speed was greatly affected.

Two seventh-realm battle corpse puppets, standing to her left and right, their bodies shrouded in magical energy, intercepted her with a speed slightly faster than hers.

Two sixth-realm battle corpse puppets charged straight up from the front, each wielding a long halberd, one thrusting and the other slashing.

After awakening, any one of the four battle corpse puppets was nearly as powerful as Qingzao. The two seventh-realm battle corpse puppets were even stronger than Qingzao.

Unfortunately, this state of affairs is very short-lived and cannot be prepared for in advance.

Qingzao snorted and immediately threw out three corpse garments, using the three ghostly servants inside the garments to resist the siege of the four corpses.

The other end.

Qing Zijin was flustered and anxious, unable to stop Jingzhen from approaching, and could not even catch a glimpse of him.

The gap in cultivation is too big.

"boom!"

As the still frame approached, he lunged forward, swung his arm, and with the battle flag like a club, struck the jade boat, causing it to flip and fly away.

The array of light enveloping the ship flickered fiercely.

The jade boat crashed to the ground and continued to tumble.

Inside the boat, Qing Zijin and the thirteen war corpse puppets were unsteady on their feet.

A powerful shockwave traveled through the jade boat, striking her like a heavy hammer.

"puff!"

With Qing Zijin's cultivation at the third level of the Dao Seed Realm, how could her physical body withstand it? Her internal organs were damaged on the spot, and she vomited blood.

Qing Zijin was still holding on, having absolute confidence in Li Weiyi's character. She knew he wouldn't run away alone. As long as she could hold out for a while longer, and he captured Qingzao, even if Jingzhen was strong, she would have no choice but to obediently lead her people away.

"Boom!"

Battle flags fell one after another.

Qing Zijin could no longer control the Purple Heaven Thunder Seal, and blood gushed from her mouth.

The still frame planted the two flags in the ground, retrieved the Yin-Yang gong, and held it in its hand. Using the gong as a hammer, it struck the bottom of the overturning jade boat heavily.

"Bang!"

The gong boomed like thunder. Inside the boat, Qing Zijin bled from all seven orifices, completely lost consciousness, and collapsed to the ground, limp as mud.

Without the control of the spiritual light, the thirteen war corpse puppets in the boat instantly turned into motionless corpses.

Jingzhen leaped into the air, stepped on the jade boat that had been sent flying into the air, and pressed it back to the ground. She was about to ride the boat to Li Weiyi and Qingzao's battlefield to reap the final victory.

He looked up.

He witnessed a scene that shocked him beyond measure.

Qingzao, like a doll devoid of all spirit and strength, was grabbed by the back of her neck by Li Weiyi, lifted up in her hand, and rushed over through the billowing dust.

Behind him followed four battle-worn puppets wielding magical artifacts.

The three shrouds, along with the ghostly servants within them, had been torn to shreds, their souls scattered and their spirits dispersed.
