The Primordial Law

Chapter 623 The Sword of Imperial Arts
The cliff rises thousands of feet high, offering a panoramic view of the surrounding mountains.

The eerie mist spreading across the cliff face was immediately forced to retreat downwards by the radiant light and the extraordinary aura emanating from Li Weiyi.

Below, amidst the mountains, a golden, withered giant stands in the ravine, carrying a heavy axe on his shoulder, the axe blade as large as a house, gazing up at the towering figure on the cliff that seems to be shouting to heaven and earth.

The ghostly mist churned like a sea of ​​clouds, and within it, pairs of eyes opened, shooting out beams of light, accompanied by a cacophony of shrill cries.

Huo Tianming stood atop a mountain below him, retrieving his Heavenly Tooth Battle Ring. His expression was grave: "Hmph, is he trying to be a hero and save the damsel in distress? I'm afraid he'll be alive to save her, but not to enjoy the experience."

Huangfu Song stood on the cliff, his spear fully activated, his body enveloped in magical energy and the scriptures of immortality, and he was on high alert.

a year ago……

Outside the Underworld, it was just over a month ago.

News of the battle at Chun City reached Mingling Mountain, causing quite a stir. Chu Yutian dispatched Jingzhen, leading a large number of experts back to Chun City, to join forces with Luo Yinji and the Four-Eared Ghost Monkey Marquis to launch a surprise attack on the Sentinel Army's garrison, only to find nothing there.

After that, Li Weiyi went into hiding, and no matter what methods the Taiyin Sect used, they could not trick him into showing himself.

Now that he has finally reappeared, Jingzhen and Huangfusong's joy far outweighs their surprise and apprehension. It would be a real headache if such a person continued to remain hidden.

"Where are Saint Si and the others?" Li Weiyi asked.

“We had no companions! I came from the border, rushing back to Chuncheng, but my whereabouts were exposed, and I was intercepted and killed by them.”

Nangong was severely injured, and her hand holding the jade bamboo magic weapon trembled slightly. She tried her best to mobilize her remaining magic power and the Pure Light Flame to refine the various forces that had invaded her body through her wounds.

Her martial arts combat prowess is extremely high; otherwise, she wouldn't have dared to conspire with Bai Chuan and Mo Duanfeng to kill Chu Yutian.

However, faced with such an encirclement and attack, even the true disciples of any ancient sect or the emperor's disciples would perish.

The enemy wanted to capture Nangong alive, which gave her the opportunity to escape all the way here and wait for Li Weiyi's rescue.

"Wow!"

Li Weiyi unleashed a surge of pure, ethereal magical energy from his palm, channeling it into the central spring of her back. This energy drove away the chaotic forces within her body that were constantly damaging her flesh and meridians, transforming them into a wave of energy that dissipated outside her body.

Instantly, most of the pain in Nangong's body disappeared.

Finally, I can use my magic to seal the wound, stop the bleeding, and allow it to heal.

Li Weiyi looked at his hands covered in blood.

When I pressed my hand against her back just now, I could clearly feel the flesh caved in and the bones broken. The severity of her injuries was truly shocking.

But at this moment, Nangong had already stood up straight, his clothes soaked with blood.

She has a slender, willow-like figure and a gentle, beautiful personality, yet possesses a strong, stubborn, and resilient heart.

Holding two flags, Jingzhen blocked the two's way back to Chuncheng, stepping into the howling wind: "With such confidence, how can I not accompany you? Li Weiyi, today you will surely perish here, and the Book of Life and Death will not be changed."

Li Wei's unique perception allows him to see into all directions.

The powerful spirits below the cliff were moving to the left and right, trying to form an encirclement.

At the same time, the void trembled. Streams of battle intent, some like swords of will severing his soul, others like golden spears piercing his mind... unseen, intangible, yet undeniably real.

Li Weiyi appeared relaxed and arrogant, but in reality, she was fighting with all her might to resist.

In this situation, let alone urging the governor to put on his official robes, even the slightest distraction would result in death.

Jingzhen knew that Li Weiyi was currently fighting a group of experts, and could only devote some of her energy to fighting him, while also having to spare some of her strength to protect Nangong.

In this situation, if Li Weiyi does not flee but chooses to fight him, Jingzhen is absolutely confident that she can kill him here.

Li Weiyi watched the approaching still frame, his mind quickly calming down. All the attacking intents were blocked by the swastika and tai chi symbol rising from his divine palace. He said, "Do they think they can kill me with their battle tactics and mental attacks?"

Huo Tianming laughed loudly: "Haha, you don't actually think that the key to life and death, victory or defeat, is on the battlefield, do you?"

Li Weiyi knew that Huo Tianming was reminding him, and he immediately understood that with the intelligence of Jingzhen and Huangfusong, they must have realized that this was an excellent opportunity when Nangong blew the distress whistle.

This is an opportunity to lure Li Weiyi out and kill her.

It is very likely that a message has already been sent to Chu Yutian.

Chu Yutian is most likely on his way.

Luo Yin Ji, residing in Chun City, will undoubtedly possess the same wisdom upon hearing the distress whistle and will certainly leave the city. She might even use the Demon Kingdom and the Demon Race as pawns.

Li Weiyi revealed a flaw and feigned a terrified expression.

Jingzhen immediately seized the opportunity, her figure shooting out like an arrow, the two battle flags slashing down.

The battle is about to break out.

"Wow!"

"Wow!"

Two array patterns scattered from the battle banner transformed into a cage on one side and solidified into a giant sword that plunged straight down.

Li Weiyi, his long hair billowing behind him, felt the overwhelming aura of the Sword Dao Imperial Court's number one expert, yet showed no fear. His plan to lure the enemy had succeeded; he raised his arm, unleashing the Purple Heaven Thunder Seal he had already activated from his sleeve.

"Wow!"

Purple lightning illuminated the cliffside sky.

The original power of the swastika artifact instantly tore the array cage to pieces.

The seal itself shattered the giant sword with the array pattern.

"That reaction speed... it turns out he was just faking it..."

Jingzhen never imagined that Li Weiyi could outmaneuver him even in such a perilous situation.
They had no choice but to switch from offense to defense.

Two battle flags crossed and collided, revealing a shield-like array that blocked the incoming Purple Heaven Thunder Seal.

"boom!"

Even with his high cultivation level, Jingzhen was still sent flying by the power of the Wanzi weapon's origin, his arms aching terribly.

"In my opinion, you are far inferior to Shirakawa and cannot unleash the true combat power of this body."

Words of venomous intent drifted on the wind. Seizing this perfect opportunity, Li Weiyi unleashed the "Earth Lion's Journey" escape technique, riding an earth lion formed from mud, swiftly traversing the underground. Nangong, enveloped by his magical energy, gently clutched her lower abdomen, protecting herself in front of her.

The mud and rocks underground rushed backward at high speed.

"Swish!"

A dense array of sword energies burrowed into the ground, chasing after Li Weiyi from behind.

Holding the spirit crystal, Nangong tried his best to recover his magical energy and heal his injuries, and said in a low voice, "The Bai family has two sword techniques: the Heavenly Sword and the Earthly Sword."

"This is the Earthly Sword, which mobilizes the energy of the earth without affecting the sword's momentum. You can't underestimate your opponent. Although Jingzhen can't reach the peak of Baichuan's combat power, she has already absorbed and integrated the scriptures and Daoist techniques on the Longevity Golden Elixir, and she's not far behind."

"How could I underestimate him? I was just deliberately provoking him! When someone is rejected and wants to prove themselves, they often make fatal mistakes."

This scene evoked a strange sense of familiarity in Li Weiyi, causing him to feel slightly dazed. The face of the woman in his arms transformed into Jiang Ning's delicate and charming appearance in his mind.

Compared to Tang Wanzhou's dashing spirit and Zuoqiu Hongting's elegant and versatile nature, Jiang Ning possesses a gentle and tender femininity that surpasses both of them. Like a secluded orchid in a valley or a clear spring, she ensures that Li Weiyi will never mistakenly believe that "that person is my brother" or "that person is my comrade-in-arms." She can clearly understand that this feeling is the affection between a man and a woman.

In terms of temperament, Nangong and Jiang Ning have too many similarities.

Li Weiyi bit his tongue, suppressing distracting thoughts, and raised his spiritual energy upwards.

"boom!"

Forced by the sword energy from behind, the earth lion burst from the ground and soared into the air.

Li Weiyi broke free from the lion's back, turned around and unleashed a Heaven-Turning Palm Print and a swastika mark, which collided with the Earth Sword Qi that flew out from the ground.

"As expected of the Sword of Imperial Arts, its power is terrifying."

Sword energy pierced through the Heaven-Turning Palm Print and the swastika mark, flying past Li Weiyi and cutting off strands of hair.

"boom!"

Behind them, the earth lion fell and turned into mud and rocks.

Nangong flew down first, landing gracefully and immediately assuming a fighting stance.

There was no chance to use the escape technique again.

Huangfu Song's nine-foot-long spear transformed into a seventy- or eighty-meter-long Yin Ghost Python, roaring in along with the long river of scriptures.

The Yin Ghost Python, sealed within the spear, instantly reached the third realm of combat power. With the blessing of Huangfu Song and the spear's incantations, its battle might surged several levels.

Li Weiyi unleashed his Staff of All Things and spear to meet the attack.

The Heavenly Spirit Child releases lightning, while the Earthly Spirit Child stirs up the Yin energy of the earth. The two forces intertwine and transform into a horizontally flying tornado of wind and thunder.

"Boom!"

The Yin Ghost Python and the Wind and Thunder Tornado collided, spears and lances flew, and they fought fiercely together.

Li Weiyi cleaved away Huo Tianming's Heavenly Tooth Battle Ring with a single sword strike, and then unleashed the Purple Heaven Thunder Seal, clashing with the river of sword energy that flew out from Jingzhen's ancestral field.

He slowly retreated, pressing his back against Nangong's, and surveyed the enemies around him.

"Your mastery of formations is very high. Do you know any combined attack formations?" Li Weiyi asked.

A radiant flame of pure light shone from between Nangong's brows: "We can give it a try."

The insect bag was opened, and seven phoenix-winged moths flew out.

In the next instant, Li Weiyi flew towards Jingzhen, intending to severely injure or kill him before the other powerful figures arrived. Otherwise, with him around, it would be difficult to escape today.

"Wow!"

Without holding back, Li Weiyi quickly practiced the Twelve Scattered Hands of the Chan Sect, his feet creating twelve stylized movements, while twelve divine figures spun in the void.

When the twelfth figure appeared, it collided with the oncoming still frame.

The twelve moves of freehand combat are combined into one strike.

The still frame sensed an unprecedented sense of danger, and its pupils contracted.

All I could feel was that Li Weiyi's moves were unpredictable and impossible to anticipate, so I couldn't predict what the final blow would be like.

Jingzhen's spirit reached a state of complete absorption, and she thrust the two battle flags straight into front of her, like pillars of heaven, as the array patterns erupted, illuminating all directions.

At the same time, his legs moved with the wind, his body arched backward, and he slid backward.

The longevity scriptures in the ancestral field burst forth like a brilliant sea of ​​stars.

"boom!"

Li Weiyi's twelfth strike was the consecration of Cihang.

He combined twelve free-flowing techniques and unleashed a finger strike that represented the pinnacle of his martial arts to date.

The entire plain trembled, the array collapsed, and two battle flags were blown away.

Like a Buddhist lamp, it bloomed at Li Weiyi's fingertips, dispelling and burning away the dark power belonging to the Netherworld of the Dead in the surrounding world. This was something Li Weiyi himself had not expected.

A bright, finger-like light wave followed the still frame.

"The terrain is steep and the mountains are sloping."

Jingzhen unleashed the fifth level of Imperial Sword Technique, with densely packed longevity scriptures pulling at the earth's energy, tearing up the soil and altering the terrain and landform.

A sword mountain rose from the ground, imprinted with the scripture of immortality, its sword intent vast and boundless, amidst dark clouds filling the sky.

The sword mountain tilted forward, unleashing a devastating force.

"Boom!"

Cihang's consecrated finger strike pierced through the sword mountain, but also exhausted its power.

The still frame retrieved the Longevity Scripture from the scattered rubble and dust, circling it around her, her heart still pounding like a drum. It had been incredibly dangerous just now; Li Weiyi's attack had already reached the level of Chu Yutian and his ilk.
