Suddenly, a scorpion tail appeared behind Xie Wei, about to stab him when he wasn't paying attention.
Mu Qingcheng quickly ran behind Xie Wei to shield him from the scorpion-tailed man's attack. However, the spiritual energy shield triggered by the ring failed to stop the scorpion tail, which pierced Mu Qingcheng's shoulder.
"Orange!" Xie Wei noticed Mu Qingcheng's condition and quickly hugged her, looking at the scorpion tail that was retracting. "Is it poisonous?"
The world in Mu Qingcheng's eyes gradually blurred, and she could no longer see the expression on Xie Wei's face. 'He must be very sad.'
"Heh heh heh, this attack, comparable to a breakthrough to the mortal realm, is something a mere acquired cultivator could withstand? Overestimating yourself, how laughable!" The scorpion-tailed man gloated. "It's just a pity..."
Xie Wei ignored the scorpion-tailed man's words and checked Mu Qingcheng's condition. The spiritual energy shield had absorbed most of the power, and Mu Qingcheng's injuries were not particularly serious; she had only fainted due to poisoning.
Xie Wei took off his clothes and placed them under Mu Qingcheng, gently laying her on the ground before slowly walking towards the four men in black robes.
Feeling the increasingly low pressure around Xie Wei, the three men with steel claws wanted to continue their attack. Just as the man with the mechanical leg was about to touch Xie Wei, he only caught a glimpse of the afterimage before Xie Wei stepped on his mechanical leg.
At this moment, Xie Wei had white hair and white eyes, his eyes filled with murderous intent, and his aura had reached the mid-stage of the Breaking Mortal realm.
This is clearly a manifestation of entering the second level of "Asura". Each breakthrough requires the accumulation of spiritual power and time. The first level is equivalent to the foundation. The time and spiritual power required for each subsequent level are different. Therefore, Xie Wei did not use the second level immediately.
He glanced at the mechanical leg being trampled under his foot, then exerted force, turning the leg's machinery into scrap metal.
"Ah! Ahh!" The pain instantly shot into the mechanical leg's brain, causing him to scream in agony.
Xie Wei didn't stop. He instantly appeared in front of the Iron Fist Man and threw a punch. Even though the Iron Fist Man immediately took a defensive stance, his iron fists were still destroyed.
Xie Wei bent the steel claws of the man with the steel claws straight down. Looking at the man with the scorpion tail, Xie Wei said calmly.
"Your turn."
The moment the words left his mouth, a scorpion tail suddenly emerged from the ground, forcing Xie Wei back. The scorpion-tailed man, of course, would not let this opportunity pass, and a sharp blade appeared in his hand, directly slashing a bloody gash on Xie Wei's arm.
Then, continuing its attack on Xie Wei with its scorpion tail, it said to Xie Wei, "Foolish Dragon Countryman, this form of yours has a time limit, doesn't it? The power of breaking through to the mortal realm isn't so easy to control."
Hearing the scorpion-tailed man's words, Xie Wei frowned slightly, forcibly conjured a long spear in his hand, and with a gentle swing, the spear intent in his hand repelled the scorpion-tailed man.
This spear was not like the sword from before, which was elusive; it was a real golden spear formed from spiritual energy.
"Spear intent! Spiritual energy manifested! You have mastered the power to transcend the mortal realm! How is this possible!" The scorpion-tailed man did not believe that Xie Wei had truly mastered the manifestation of spiritual energy, and with the cover of his scorpion tail, he charged forward.
Xie Wei closed his eyes, but suddenly opened them again just as the scorpion tail was about to stab him. He swung out "Illusory Star" and cut off the scorpion tail. The scorpion tail man was also knocked to the ground by the power.
Xie Wei slowly walked towards the scorpion-tailed man.
"You can't kill me. I'm a viscount in the Eagle Kingdom. You can't kill me. You're being retaliated against by the Eagle Kingdom." As Xie Wei gradually approached, the scorpion-tailed man also kept retreating.
Sensing the surging energy within his body and the blood reaching his throat, Xie Wei, whose body was about to give way, decisively crippled the scorpion-tailed man's limbs.
Seeing the scorpion-tailed man faint, Xie Wei returned to his usual appearance, letting his internal energy surge and condense into a bead, which then gushed out from Xie Wei's mouth.
Spiritual backlash.
After all, he had just gone from half-step to the middle stage of the Breakthrough Realm, and it was his first time using the power of the Breakthrough Realm. He had no time to adapt before entering actual combat. Only Xie Weicai understood the changes and consequences he had to bear.
'It seems this body is still struggling to enter the second level.' Xie Wei sensed his condition and, without any intention of meditating to adjust his breathing, turned around, took a few quick steps, and picked up Mu Qingcheng.
Then, row after row of people appeared behind Xie Wei, dressed in uniform, kneeling in unison and shouting.
"Third Young Master!"
"You're a little late," Xie Wei said indifferently, his eyes revealing unfathomable emotions. He knew this was probably a test from the old man for Mu Qingcheng, so he didn't say anything more.
"..."
"Just hand her over to Miss Zhao, she knows what to do," Xie Wei said before carrying Mu Qingcheng away and disappearing from everyone's sight.
