Chapter 144: Deep in the Mengshan Mountains
The Zouwu beast is extremely fast, and is beyond the reach of ordinary Five Seas Realm martial artists.
The old man of the deformed race who swooped down caught up with him by relying on his flying ability. His magical energy was extremely pure, several times stronger than Li Weiyi's, and was the third-level energy of the Five Seas.
Before their figures arrived, the cloud of magical energy had already pressed down on Li Weiyi and Li Ling, like thousands of silk threads entangled them.
Li Weiyi was facing a formidable enemy, tightly gripping the Yellow Dragon Sword. The magic power in his body surged through the 120 golden veins, converging on his arms and breaking through the suppression of the magic energy cloud.
The moment the old man of the deformed race came within four feet, he seized the opportunity and slashed out a long dragon-patterned sword light, like a yellow sword river.
The old man of the deformed race had been through hundreds of battles and was very experienced. He saw the extraordinaryness of the Yellow Dragon Sword, and his body suddenly stopped in mid-air. He spit out a three-inch long scarlet flying sword from his mouth, which collided with the flying dragon-patterned sword.
"boom!"
The scarlet flying sword was nourished in the sea of qi in the lungs, blazing like a flame, with a speed like a stream of light and great power. But after piercing through the dragon-patterned sword, its speed dropped sharply and it was blown away by Li Weiyi's horizontal sword.
Under the impact of the residual force of the dragon-patterned sword, the old man of the deformed race fell to the top of the tree, and was instantly pulled away by the Zouwu monster by dozens of feet.
"The third level of the Five Seas Realm!"
Li Weiyi held a sword and stared at the old man of the deformed race who was chasing him again.
Farther in the darkness, several figures of the freak race were flying in the air. Judging from their speed, they were all at the level of the Five Seas Realm. There were also strong auras approaching from the ground, and several of them were much stronger than the freak old man.
"Zou Wu is too big a target. The Five Seas Realm Deformed Race is flying in the air and can see us from more than ten miles away. This is not a solution. We can't escape at all."
Li Weiyi felt heavy-hearted and asked, "How long will it take for Chanhai Guanwu to recover his strength?"
Li Ling couldn't tell him the exact answer. After thinking for a moment, he said, "I have a way to hide Zou Wu."
Li Weiyi said, "In that case, when that old man of the freak race catches up with us again, you and I will work together to kill him as quickly as possible, and then turn invisible and change direction to escape. The other masters of the Three Chen Palace Iron Armor Army are still far away, so they will definitely lose their target. Do you have a way to become invisible?"
"I am a great mind master in the Skyfire Realm and I have my own means of invisibility." Li Ling said.
The strength of a Heavenly Fire Realm Great Mind Master is comparable to that of a Wuhai Realm Third Realm Martial Artist. Among them, those with profound attainments and a wide range of skills can even overpower a Wuhai Realm Fourth Realm Martial Artist.
Li Ling had only recently broken through to the Skyfire Realm, so naturally he was not the latter.
“Boom!”
The strange beast Zouwu ran wildly in the forest, causing the earth to shake and the mountains to quake. All the trees were broken wherever it passed.
After running another seven or eight miles, the old man of the deformed race caught up with him again. Like a giant black bat, he flew between the trees, not getting close and keeping a distance of at least ten feet. He used his magic energy to control the flying sword to harass him.
He knew very well that with his own skills, he could not kill the two people on the back of the Zouwu monster, and it would be extremely dangerous to intercept them by force.
But if they can hold them back and wait for the large number of Ironclad Army experts to catch up with them, those two will be unable to escape.
"We can't keep on being deadlocked like this, we need to take action now."
Li Weiyi slapped the insect tube, and seven phoenix-winged moth kings flew out first, surrounding the night in seven different directions, blocking the retreat of the deformed old man.
Then, he leaped away from Zuo Wu's butt and attacked the old man of the deformed race who was flying ten feet away.
“Ouch!”
A dragon roar was heard, and a yellow dragon shadow appeared under his feet, walking like a dragon, with a heroic and mysterious look.
The old man of the freak species let out a light exclamation, noting the mystery of Li Weiyi's movement, but he did not take it to heart.
From the previous fight, he had already figured out his opponent's strengths and weaknesses. His magic energy was only at the first level of the Five Seas Realm, and at best he had just entered the second level of the Five Seas Realm. He only relied on the powerful sword in his hand to block his flying sword.
It is not a good thing for children to hold heavy objects, as it usually results in death or loss of the equipment.
The old man of the deformed race was unable to slow down during his rapid flight. He spit out his flying sword and instantly faced Li Weiyi who was attacking him.
“Bang bang!”
The flying sword and the Yellow Dragon Sword collided dozens of times.
Flames burst out and sword energy overflowed.
From mid-air all the way down to the ground, Li Weiyi swung his last sword strike, and the three-inch-long scarlet flying sword turned into pieces and was destroyed on the spot.
"you……"
The old man of the deformed race was so angry that he almost vomited blood. That was an extremely precious mid-level magic weapon, and the loss was huge.
The opponent's brass sword is definitely more than a high-level magical weapon.
Having lost his flying sword, he dared not engage in close combat with Li Weiyi. He turned around and flew away, preparing to keep a distance.
“Bang!”
A Phoenix-winged Moth King rushed out from behind and hit him.
Because he was wearing an iron armor, he chose to fight hard.
It was just a tiny moth, but its power was far beyond the old man's estimation. It was comparable to a full-strength punch from a martial artist in the second realm of the Five Seas Realm. Its body was instantly unbalanced.
Li Ling, holding the Zouwu that had become the size of a cat, appeared on the ground below the old man of the deformed race, with dozens of bright and dazzling light marks flying out from his forehead.
Like a glowing grass, it grew rapidly and became more than ten feet tall.
Each blade of grass was extremely sharp, burning with flames that were enough to burn the body of a Five Seas Realm martial artist. It entangled the old man of the deformed race and quickly burned through his protective magic energy.
"Skyfire Realm!"
As the body of the old man of the deformed race fell downward, he mobilized his magic energy and injected it into the iron cloth battle suit on his body. Then, a figure of the battle magic thought that was ten feet tall appeared and stretched out the flame light mark.
How could Li Weiyi give him a chance to break free? He struck out into the air with his sword.
“Puff!”
The old man of the deformed race raised his arm to block, but how could he block the Yellow Dragon Sword? His arm and forehead were pierced.
He put away the sword, and the body of the old man of the deformed race fell to the ground with a bang.
There was disappointment in Zuowu's eyes and he waved his claws, wanting to join in.
"Walk!"
Li Weiyi didn't even have the interest to take off his iron cloth battle suit. He took back the seven Phoenix-winged Moth Kings and immediately activated the invisibility power of the high-level magical weapon, the Night Walker. He disappeared and fled to the other side of the night.
Li Ling held the dark lamp in her hand, the light turned from blue to dark, and then her whole body merged into the night.
They certainly didn't think that they could get rid of the Iron Army's pursuers in this way, because there was no time to erase the traces on the ground.
The latest novel is published first on Liu9shuba!
But how can the pursuers catch up with them when they need to slowly search for traces on the ground before they can move forward? Two hours later.
Li Weiyi and Li Ling had already penetrated hundreds of miles into the Mengshan Mountains, and their internal energy and mental power were almost exhausted. Fortunately, the pursuers behind them had no breath at all, and had obviously temporarily shaken them off.
Taking advantage of this opportunity, Li Weiyi released seven Phoenix-winged Moth Kings, which grabbed the two of them and flew them off the ground for a while, thus cutting off any traces on the ground.
move on.
The peaks in the mountains became more and more majestic and towering, like giants, with their peaks completely submerged in the clouds.
From time to time, piercing cries could be heard in the sky, and a flock of huge dead soul bone birds flew overhead. It was conceivable that those flying deformed martial artists would never dare to fly out of the treetops if they went deep into this place.
The ground in the forest was filled with gloomy air, and there were a large number of stone horses, stone tigers, stone figurines, stone tablets... Every time you walked a distance, creepy sounds were heard in the darkness.
Sometimes it is the sound of fast running footsteps, sometimes it is the laughter of children, or the whispers of women.
Li Weiyi and Li Ling slowed down, trying their best to recover their magic energy and mental power, and to restrain their aura as much as possible.
The cat-sized Zouwu jumped and ran at Li Ling's feet, stopping from time to time to grin and roar into the darkness, looking very ferocious.
It was not surprising that there were many dead spirits and evil spirits in the depths of the Mengshan Mountains. With Li Weiyi's current cultivation level of the Five Seas Realm, he was not afraid of ordinary evil creatures and was much braver than before.
Both of them were silent, completely different from the laughing and scolding they used to be.
Get rid of falsehood and return to reality.
Li Weiyi broke the silence and said, "I heard that every peak in the Mengshan Mountains is an imperial tomb where many ancient emperors are buried. Is that true?"
Li Ling was worried, her pretty face solemn, "There is such a saying! It is said that the emperor-level masters of Yingzhou since ancient times would bury themselves in the Mengshan Mountains. Because this place is close to the Sea of Blood and the Death Mist, where coffins from other worlds gather, it is a world-famous extremely yin place. Being buried here, there may be a chance to reverse life and death."
"Of course, there must be some exaggerations in the legend. It is impossible for every mountain to be the tomb of an ancient emperor. If a strong person in the Immortal Realm rashly digs such a tomb, he may suffer disaster."
"In fact, many peaks in the Mengshan Mountains have been hollowed out by tomb robbers. There are some remarkable tombs there, but they are not at the level of the ancient emperors."
The two men's legs were flowing with magical energy and they took two or three feet with each step.
Coming to an open area halfway up the mountain, Li Weiyi stood on the edge of the cliff and looked towards the direction of Yaoguan City.
The sky was dark, and a chilly air was rising among the trees.
"According to the time, it should be dawn, but why is the whole sky covered with dark clouds and no light can be seen?"
Li Weiyi felt the horror deep in the Mengshan Mountains. The celestial phenomena here were completely different from those outside. Being there, he felt depressed and wanted to leave as soon as possible.
Li Ling pointed behind him: "Look over there!"
Li Weiyi turned around and looked.
A hundred miles away, there is an extremely magnificent mountain range, like a giant dragon lying prone, running across the east and west.
The height from the ground to the top of the mountain is probably six or seven thousand meters, like a black barrier at the end of the sky and earth, blocking all sight.
The dark clouds above their heads still had a slight brightness, but the clouds over the mountain range in the distance were completely dark, like an impenetrable black cloth.
Li Ling said: "I have never been to the depths of the Mangshan Mountains. But that should be the last ridge of the Mangshan Mountains, the last line of defense of the war a thousand years ago. Crossing it, you can leave the Lingxiao Living Realm and enter the boundless netherworld of the dead."
"It is said that a thousand years ago, the other side of the mountain range was also a state capital governed by the Jiuli tribe, called Yunzhou."
"According to the elders who crossed the mountains and went to the Ghost Market to trade, Yunzhou is completely shrouded in darkness. The villages and towns that once existed are now deserted and only ruins remain. The city that once grew all kinds of precious medicines because of the existence of the Heavenly Law and Earthly Spring has now been occupied by ghosts and evil spirits, turning into a ghost town and a demon domain."
"In Yunzhou, humans have disappeared. Only some powerful cultivators dare to go deep into the darkness and go to the former state capital or the ruins of the sect to search for treasures and books that have been lost for thousands of years."
"This Iron-clad Army of the Sanchen Palace must have borrowed a passage from Yunzhou and circled around Yaoguan City from the other side of the mountain range. They were like divine troops descending from the sky, catching us off guard."
Li Weiyi thought of Zhu Qinfeng, the governor of Yanzhou who died in the bottom of Jiuli Insect Valley, and asked, "What about Yanzhou?"
Li Ling didn't know much about it and said uncertainly: "Yanzhou seems to be located further west of Yunzhou."
