The Primordial Law

Chapter 620 The Lion's Journey (Bonus Chapter for 20,000 Monthly Tickets)

"What a formidable battle formation! Indeed, an army is the most powerful force; no matter how strong one's cultivation, it will be crushed." said the Four-Eared Ghost Monkey Marquis.

Luo Yinji said, "He still has at least two trump cards he hasn't used: the secret technique that combines mental and martial arts, and the battle corpse puppet he used to capture Qingzao. This battle, barring any unforeseen circumstances, should result in a draw."

"is it possible?"

The Four-Eared Monkey Marquis didn't quite believe that Li Weiyi, at the early stage of the third realm, could reach that level of combat power.

In the midst of battle, Xue Sanguan charged out with his sword, his figure as powerful as a dragon and as fierce as a tiger, cleaving through the blood-red light barrier with a single strike.
Li Weiyi immediately dodged, not daring to take the hit head-on.

With the combined attack formation enhanced, Xue Sanguan's combat power reached the Great Longevity level, each strike powerful and sweeping, capable of cleaving mountains and splitting peaks. Soon, Li Weiyi was forced into a perilous situation.

Luo Yinji frowned: "Something's not right. Li Weiyi couldn't possibly have dodged so many knives."

“Logically speaking, under the suppression of the battle formation and the six battle techniques, he shouldn’t have been able to dodge a single strike. He would have been forced to take the hit head-on and then die in battle,” said the Four-Eared Ghost Monkey Marquis.

"I see!"

Luo Yinji looked at Suiyue: "I know why Li Weiyi lured the six people from the Demon Kingdom here. It was the spatial pressure of Suiyue. That invisible spatial pressure slowed down the movement speed of the battle formation's runes and also increased the consumption of the six people's magical energy."

"Behold my strongest puppet war corpse."

Li Weiyi let out a low growl and threw Sheng Wulian out of the bag.

Knowing the power of Li Weiyi's technique, Xue Sanguan dared not underestimate it. He mobilized all his magical energy and swung his sword at the flying "war corpse".

Having been immobilized by Li Weiyi's immobilization talisman, Sheng Wulian was now truly devoid of life, his pupils dilated.

In his pupils, the light of blades swept in from all directions.

"Oh no, it's a death wish..."

By the time Xue Sanguan realized this, it was too late!
The power of this strike was immense, directly cleaving Sheng Wulian's physical body into an explosion. The transcendent energy and scriptures within Sheng Wulian's ancestral field were then released.

For experts at the Blood Three Gates level, a single breath of transcendent magical energy is not frightening.

But to release it unguardedly right in front of him is a different matter entirely.

Blood Trial was extremely skilled; even in this critical moment, he activated the life-saving trump card on his armor. Instantly, countless runes appeared on the armor.

"Boom!"

Xue Sanguan was thrown backward, and the runic light on his body quickly dimmed.

It was dim, but there were also array patterns on the armor.

Instantly, the array plate of the combined attack formation trembled violently.

Li Weiyi seized the opportunity and unleashed the Purple Heaven Thunder Seal, transforming it into the size of a house. Thunder roared, and its primal power transformed into a blazing thundercloud, striking a border expert at the peak of the third realm, causing him to spit out blood and be sent flying like a cannonball.

The body inside the armor was charred black, convulsing incessantly, its life force constantly ebbing away.

"Don't worry about me, control the battle formation. Don't panic..."

Xue Sanguan roared, and the moment he landed, he immediately shot out, slashing at Li Weiyi in mid-air.

With a gap appearing in the battle formation, he, as the leader, had to contain Li Weiyi to buy time for the other four to regroup.

But the breakthrough had already been made, so why would Li Weiyi give him another chance?
With a single step, "Yellow Dragon Ascends to Heaven," Li Weiyi's figure swooped upwards, dodging the blade's momentum, and climbed to a height higher than the Blood Three Passes, before unleashing a sword strike that cleaved the sea as he fell.

"So fast?"

This time, Blood Trial had no battle formation to support it, and was forced to activate the runes on the armor once again.

"Oh!"

The sword light struck Xue Sanguan, knocking him into the swamp below.

The entire body of water was divided by sword energy, leaving watermarks stretching to the horizon.

Thanks to the life-saving rune, Xue Sanguan was unharmed and quickly got up.

Li Weiyi was besieged by four powerful border warriors and failed to capitalize on his advantage to deliver another heavy blow. However... the combined attack formation was completely thrown into chaos, and the array plate collapsed.

Blood Three felt a chill run down his spine, a bad premonition rising within him. At this moment, calling for retreat was absolutely out of the question.

Even in a desperate battle, the advantage remains with them. If they retreat, the road back to the Demon Kingdom's stronghold will be the Yellow Springs where Li Wei will reap their lives one by one.

Having a military background, he knew better than anyone how much fighting power the defeated troops possessed.

"He deliberately lured us to this far away, not wanting us to have a chance to escape back to our base, intending to kill us all. How arrogant!"

Having realized this, Xue Sanguan roared, "Today, there is only one way: fight to the death! There is no retreat! Cowardice will lead to defeat, and courage will lead to victory! Absolute Dark Domain!"

The dark power of the Holy Dark Family was released from Xue Sanguan and enveloped Li Weiyi.

Li Weiyi had to admire Xue Sanguan's judgment of the situation. He desperately wanted Xue Sanguan to order a retreat, or better yet, to scatter and escape. Because from beginning to end, he only wanted to kill Xue Sanguan; he had no interest in killing anyone else.

The enemy is well-coordinated, a seasoned veteran, and now, with their backs against the wall, their fighting spirit is high.

It's getting tricky!
As the absolute darkness enveloped them, Li Weiyi, having been prepared, immediately released four-colored spiritual light, condensing a psychic armor to fight against the darkness while simultaneously unleashing his full power.

Originally, Li Weiyi had no intention of using the combination of mental and martial arts techniques on them.

Of course, even though they are both at the second realm, Li Weiyi's martial arts power far surpasses his mental power. Even if he combines martial arts and mental power, his combat strength will not increase much.

"Hey!"

"Wow!"

Li Weiyi gave the five of them no chance to unleash their combined Taoist magic. Relying on his speed and agility, he weaved between them, engaging in close combat. Apart from Xue Sanguan, none of the other four could withstand a single sword strike from Li Weiyi; they were constantly being knocked back and thrown about.

If it weren't for Luo Yinji and the Four-Eared Ghost Monkey Marquis circling around the battleground, waiting for an opportunity to strike, preventing Li Weiyi from using his full strength in the fight, they might have already been defeated.

"Luo Yin Ji, why aren't you making a move?" Xue San Guan roared.

Luo Yinji said calmly, "You have not yet created an opportunity worthy of our intervention."

She wasn't stupid. If she and the Four-Eared Monkey Marquis made a move at this moment, the five from the Demon Kingdom would definitely take the opportunity to retreat. Instead, they would sit back and watch the tigers fight.

"what!"

Luo Yinji sensed something and detected an aura moving at an incredibly fast speed. She rushed over and exclaimed, "It's Wenren Tinghai! He's actually entered the city!"

"No wonder the Blood Trials are so fearless, unaware that we are waiting in the wings. It seems they sent out a message long ago, inviting the Emperor's disciple to return and take charge of the overall situation," said the Four-Eared Ghost Monkey Marquis.

Today, there is no longer a chance to defeat the Blood Trials.

After Li Weiyi sensed Wenren Tinghai's aura, the Heavenly Sword Talisman between his brows erupted, transforming into a rain of swords that rained down on a heavily injured border soldier at the peak of the third realm.

More than twenty Heavenly Sword Talismans shattered, and more than thirty dimmed, finally breaking through his defenses and sending him flying.

Li Weiyi seized the opportunity to break through the encirclement, drew his sword, put away the talisman, stepped on the cicadas chirping in the air, and fled into the distance.

The border general, a peak third-realm expert, lay on his back and plunged into the water with a splash. A talisman was inserted into his throat and between his eyebrows, blood gushing from it.

"Where to go!"

The Four-Eared Monkey King, wielding a vajra, used one end of a three-headed Buddha statue to strike Li Weiyi, who was fleeing, in an attempt to intercept him.

Suddenly, a three-headed Buddha statue the size of a mountain appeared, lying horizontally like a reclining Buddha.

Li Weiyi's eyes darkened, and his magical energy and spiritual light intertwined to form a three-zhang-tall, wrathful Vajra, which burst forth with ten thousand zhang of Buddhist light.

The two Buddhas clashed, and with a loud crash, the light and shadow of the three Buddha statues exploded.

The next instant, Li Weiyi's true form appeared in front of the Four-Eared Ghost Monkey Marquis. With a single sword strike, he cleaved through the ghostly aura and struck the monkey, sending it tumbling and flying away.

Four-Eared Monkey King let out a miserable cry as a sword-like flame appeared on his body, causing him unprecedented pain.

Luo Yinji arrived, her umbrella spinning as it flew away.

Instantly, a shower of talismans rained down, scattering like raindrops.

Li Weiyi had already seen Wenren Tinghai burst out of the blue clouds of the Netherworld Spirit Qi, his body divided into black and white, his feet stepping on the Yin-Yang diagram, his long hair being pulled straight back in the wind, each step he took crossing mountains and lakes.

"forward!"

Li Weiyi traveled eastward, away from the passage of time, flashing around continuously.

Each teleportation allowed him to avoid Luo Yinji, who was chasing behind him, giving her no chance to entangle him.

Blood Three Passes closely followed behind Luo Yin Ji.

"To be honest, of all these people, I most want to fight you one-on-one." Even in this extremely critical moment, Li Weiyi still had the leisure to say this to her.

Luo Yinji said, "No need to fight! With the combination of mind and martial arts, you are stronger than me."

“I’m not here to compete for victory, but to expose your true colors and see if you are the real Luo Yin Ji. No matter how well you disguise yourself, the dead cannot come back to life.”

"Earth Lion Stance!"

Li Weiyi left those words behind and unleashed the eleventh move of the Twelve Scattered Hands of the Chan Sect.

Stand with your legs in a horse stance, extend your hands forward as if to make a feint, and let magical energy surge from your palms as you lunge forward.

"Wow!"

He burrowed underground, and the soil beneath him automatically condensed into an earth lion. The wisps of magical energy in his hands transformed into reins, propelling him forward at breakneck speed.

This was actually an earth-遁 (earth-遁 is a type of escape technique)!
Once Li Weiyi emerged from the ground, he had broken free from the mental suppression of the group of experts. He then activated his governor's robes, used spatial teleportation, and returned to the Sentinel Army's encampment.

The Taiyin Sect and the experts from the deceased sect outside the camp have all retreated.

Li Weiyi rushed into the array's veil of light, covered in blood and pale-faced. He casually threw down the Yellow Dragon Sword with a clatter, his legs gave way, and he collapsed to the ground.

The three people inside the formation were startled and immediately surrounded them.

"Li Weiyi, don't scare me!" Qing Zijin's eyes welled up with tears as she knelt down and reached for his chest.

Li Weiyi immediately grabbed her hand and gently pressed it there: "A Holy Spirit Mind Master checks if a person is dead by feeling their heartbeat? If you want to take advantage, just say so. You wouldn't dare to touch it normally, would you?"

Seeing that he could still make fun of her, Qing Zijin immediately shook off his hand and kicked him again: "Don't scare people like that again."

“Miss Qing is absolutely right. What you just did startled me. I thought you didn’t even have time to say your last words. Are you badly injured?” Changyu Sword asked.

Li Weiyi said, "My injuries are alright, they're all from other people's blood. The main problem is that my magical energy is almost completely depleted, and I'm so tired that I really don't want to stand and talk to you. Let me lie down for a while."

Liu Ye asked, "What exactly happened? Why is there fighting everywhere?"

Outside the array's light veil.

"Li Weiyi, come out and answer this question! Why did you kill two of my Demon Kingdom's strongest border generals?"

Wenren Tinghai flew to the outside of the Sentinel Army's garrison. He threw the two corpses of border soldiers at the peak of the third realm into the ground with his left and right hands, displaying a cold and arrogant attitude of questioning and accusing them.
