The Primordial Law

Chapter 636 Rematch with Chu Yutian

Li Weiyi took out the crimson gourd and collected the blue-green karmic fire on the field, as well as the ghost pill of the Four-Eared Ghost Monkey Marquis.

The soul mist that the Four-Eared Ghost Monkey Marquis had scattered, having been tainted by the sword energy of the Yellow Dragon Sword, could no longer be reformed. In the flames, the ghost mist emitted screams before completely disappearing.

Two miles away, Jingzhen, who was rushing after Nangong, suddenly changed her expression.

Given the cultivation and combat strength of the Four-Eared Monkey Marquis, it was astonishing that he was killed in just two sword strikes. Although Li Weiyi had taken advantage of the moment when the Marquis was weakened by unleashing his Vajra Pestle to launch a sneak attack, it was still incredibly surprising. Compared to the previous thousand-mile pursuit, Li Weiyi's cultivation had clearly improved.

The vajra, having lost control of the magical energy, was easily evaded by Nangong.

With a deafening roar, it struck the ground, carving out a deep trench tens of feet long. At the end of the trench, three feet deep, a small hill rose up.

Nangong stared intently at Jingzhen, then flicked his left finger, sending a wisp of light flying backward to entangle the vajra.

She took a powerful, arched step, leaping across a path of light and flame: "Jingzhen, today we'll settle all old and new scores and return Little Deer's life."

The deer was her mount, and had been by her side since she was a child.

Jingzhen pushed off with the ball of his foot, pressing it into the ground to stop himself from his high-speed pursuit. The next instant, two powerful forces locked onto him, and for the first time, he found himself in a dangerous predicament where he was outnumbered.

In the past, he had always used his overwhelming advantage to surround and kill the two people in front of him.

Without hesitation, Jingzhen used a teleportation technique, drawing the earth's energy to envelop her entire body.

The earth's energy condensed into a giant sword, plunged into the ground, and disappeared.

Using the earth-遁道术 (earth-遁道术 is a type of Taoist magic), they returned to Chuncheng.

Jingzhen knew, of course, that as long as she could hold off Li Weiyi and Nangong for a moment, Chu Yutian would arrive with his men, and the two would be doomed.

But that's too dangerous!

Escaping from Li Weiyi and Nangong was a sure thing.

Li Weiyi's legs crackled with electricity as he sprinted forward, then lunged into the ground: "Earth Lion's Strike!"

The earth seemed to turn into liquid, engulfing Li Weiyi's body.

Underground, he rode his majestic earth lion, his mind able to visualize the stillness of the earth's escape route ahead, constantly following the earth's energy. He unleashed streaks of lightning towards the surface, informing the ground of Nangong's location.

The most mysterious aspect of earth-遁 (earth-遁 is a technique that allows one to escape from the earth) is that a mere ten-zhang-deep layer of earth mud is enough to block the perception of cultivators below the Great Longevity level. Although traces will be left in the mud, they are extremely difficult to track, making it easy for them to escape.

Shirakawa's mastery of the Earthly Sword technique is an imperial art, allowing him to manipulate the earth's energy.

At this moment, Jingzhen is using the Earth Escape Technique, which is part of the Imperial Technique.

Unfortunately, he was not Shirakawa and could not control it perfectly, and the earth lion behind him was getting closer and closer.

Jingzhen formed a sword finger with her right hand, drawing upon the earth's energy and magical energy to condense dozens of sword-shaped sword energies. These earth-based sword energies pierced through the mud, making a hissing sound as they broke through the soil, flying towards Li Weiyi behind her.

Li Wei pointed out, and the Nine Heavens Thunder Strike Sword was unleashed.

Streaks of white lightning spread across the earth's soil, condensing into lightning sword beams that shattered the incoming earth sword energy.

"Boom!"

The vajra descended from the sky, like a pillar, straight into the ground, blocking Jingzhen's path and forcing him to escape his earth-遁 (earth-遁 is a type of magical escape technique).

On the ground, Nangong was using a thread of light to guide the vajra, while his true form was still a mile away.

"Ow!"

Li Weiyi followed closely behind Jingzhen, riding the earth lion that burst out of the ground and leaped into the air several meters high.

With a swift movement, he unleashed a crescent-shaped sword beam, denying Jingzhen another chance to use her escape technique.

In the still frame, two thousand-character swords flew out of Shirakawa Kaibukuro, one upright and one inverted, held in both hands.

Parry with a backhand sword, then swing with a forehand sword to meet the attack.

"Oh!"

He drew both swords simultaneously, blocking the sword light of the Yellow Dragon Sword, and his body was blasted backward by the impact. The air was filled with afterimages of whistling sword energy.

In terms of power, still frames no longer have any advantage.

"Li Weiyi, do you know that Chu Yutian and a large number of experts from the Marquis of Shiling are on their way? You two should leave quickly. I won't hold you back. It'll be a win-win situation for everyone. Otherwise, you'll regret it."

Jingzhen didn't want to risk her life, so she said this, and then took out four array flags and stuck them in the four directions of her body for protection, assuming a defensive stance.

Shirakawa's battle flags numbered eight in total, and he took half of them.

Before the still frame could activate the formation within the array flags, Li Weiyi unleashed the Dao Transformation. A tall, radiant divine figure enveloped his body and charged directly at him with a sword.

"boom!"

The divine figure was surrounded by a thick energy field, which knocked the four array flags off the ground and sent them flying.

With a light tap of his toes, ripples appeared on the ground as he retreated, avoiding Li Weiyi's sharp edge. He continuously released light from his brow, transforming it into four bright streams that flowed into the four array flags he had thrown out.

"Wow!"

Li Wei slashed down with his sword, and a deafening dragon's roar resounded from within the blade, as if a divine dragon was about to burst forth from it.

The sword energy pulverized all the vegetation on the field into dust.

The still frame was incredibly skillful; one sword blocked, and another sword slashed horizontally in a counterattack.

Li Weiyi's eyes brightened slightly, and he let out a soft exclamation, surprised by Jingzhen's amazing performance. He formed a palm with his left hand, and the power of the Laogong Spring in his palm surged, forming a swastika mark to block the sword energy flying horizontally.

"Bang!" Jingzhen caught Li Weiyi's full-force sword strike with one hand. Her arm was in pain and numb, and her knees sank into the ground.

Nangong arrived.

The jade bamboo with distinct joints in his hand revealed a large number of scriptures. With a swing, a sacred scene of a luminous bamboo forest appeared.

The four array flags, which were already releasing patterns, were directly scattered by the bamboo forest scenery and broke free from the control of the static frame's spiritual light.

"Let's make our move. I can already sense the ground shaking as the golden giant skeleton runs towards us. Chu Yutian must have already arrived along the battle fluctuations." Nangong knew that Li Weiyi hadn't intended to go all out because she was worried that Chu Yutian, this big fish, would escape.

Li Weiyi glanced in the direction of the years, and even with the naked eye, he could see a black dot moving swiftly on the clouds.

His movement speed and sword speed suddenly increased dramatically, engulfing Jingzhen like a storm.

Nangong Wudao's combat strength was no less than Jingzhen's. He intercepted behind her, and the jade bamboo in his hand produced a bright circle of light every time it collided with the sword in Jingzhen's hand.

In just a moment, Jingzhen could not withstand the attack and was struck in the chest by Li Weiyi's sword.

The Yellow Dragon Sword's blade strikes both horizontally and vertically.

Even though his magical armor was of extremely high grade and blocked the sword's edge, the power contained within the sword still slammed into his flesh, causing cracks to appear in his internal organs and blood to gush from his mouth and nose.

At this moment, Jingzhen finally realized that she had made a fatal mistake.

Having witnessed Li Weiyi and Nangong fleeing in disarray in past encounters, he always had a psychological advantage, believing that even if their combat power had greatly increased, he could at least easily escape.

However, the previous predicaments of the two were caused by the combined attack, not by Jingzhen alone.

If he had realized this a moment earlier, he would never have given Nangong the chance to come and surround him.

Instead of being able to handle things calmly and with ease, things are now...

"puff!"

Li Wei swung his sword downwards, severing the head of Jingzhen as she tumbled and crawled.

Blood gushed from his neck.

Within the corpse, a humanoid wisp of light escaped first, rushing towards the ground.

As if he had expected it, Li Weiyi slammed his palm into the ground.

"boom!"

The golden swastika symbol expanded to a size of hundreds of feet, denting the earth.

A swirling burst of energy sent the illusory humanoid light from the ground flying out at an angle.

Without Bai Chuan's physical body and the Golden Elixir of Immortality, Jing Zhen's cultivation and combat strength are not considered powerful.

"Chinese cabbage!"

Li Weiyi caught a glimpse of Chu Yutian's figure approaching within a mile. With a shout, Chu Yutian unleashed a shimmering humanoid beam towards Nangong. Then, he channeled his magical energy, a clear light emanating from his pores, and spun halfway around before unleashing a whirlwind-like sword strike.

Chu Yutian's speed was frightening; he appeared in front of Li Weiyi in an instant.

He originally intended to rescue Jingzhen, but Li Weiyi's all-out sword strike happened to block his path. What Chu Yutian found even more unbelievable was that, despite his skillful movement techniques, he couldn't avoid it at all.

The skill level of this sword strike was so high that it reached the level of a disciple of the Emperor at the peak of the third realm.

Chu Yutian did not use any magical artifacts. He simply extended his palm, and seven layers of light shields emerged from the Laogong Spring in his palm, directly facing the oncoming Yellow Dragon Sword.

"Bang bang!"

The Taoist Mystic Light Seven-Layer Shield shattered four layers in succession before it could block the sword energy.

Chu Yutian gathered his five fingers together, gripping the sword and forcefully receiving the power contained within it. Then, the remaining three layers of light shield transformed into three coiling forces like dragons and snakes, spreading along the sword towards Li Weiyi's palm and arm.

Li Weiyi had sparred with Mo Duanfeng before and knew that Chu Yutian was terrifying, but only after a real fight did he truly feel how extraordinary this level of genius's application of Daoist arts, magical energy, and scriptures was.

Mo Duanfeng's evaluation of Chu Yutian was: "His magical energy has been refined through countless trials, his Taoist arts are of the highest caliber, his movement techniques are second only to the Great Longevity, and the number of longevity scriptures he has comprehended is second only to the Ancient Truth."

Li Weiyi would certainly not abandon his sword and change his moves.

Facing a powerhouse like Chu Yutian, abandoning one's sword is tantamount to suicide.

Within Li Weiyi's Divine Palace, the Tai Chi mark and the swastika mark simultaneously appeared above and below the Golden Elixir of Immortality. Subsequently, all the magical energy in his body surged to his right arm, and a clear light shone from his palm.

Nine ancient runes appeared on the sword, attracting the Six Jia Yang Thunder, which shattered Chu Yutian's three binding forces.

Chu Yutian could no longer hold onto the Yellow Dragon Sword and immediately released his grip.

Then, his figure spun and shifted like a ghost, and he threw a punch straight at Li Weiyi's head.

too fast!
It's impossible to return the sword for defense.

Anyone who engages in close, one-on-one combat with Chu Yutian will face an absolute nightmare. Every moment could determine life or death.

Li Weiyi was still in the Dao Transformation state, a battle tactic he and Mo Duanfeng had devised. Dao Transformation could influence the surrounding field, suppress Chu Yutian's speed, and distort his attack power.

Therefore, facing his sudden punch, Li Wei lowered his body and directly used his Daoist Transformation to strike him. At the same time, he formed the Compassionate Opening Finger with his left hand and struck his ancestral field with one finger.

This is a lose-lose situation!
Just like last time, Chu Yutian's ancestral field erupted with Taiyin True Qi and Longevity Scriptures to resist.

The difference was that Chu Yutian knew Li Weiyi wasn't seriously injured this time, and that her cultivation had even advanced. Therefore, he dared not gamble with his own cultivation; if he couldn't withstand Li Weiyi's finger strike, his martial arts path would end at the Longevity Realm.
