Chapter 589 Go and Return
As Chu Yutian arrived, dozens of Marquises of the Dead came from all directions with vast dark clouds, surrounding the Shaoyang Guards and Li Weiyi.
Among them, there are several auras that are extremely strong.
A phantom ghost in a blood-robed robe, as tall as the mountain and very bright, gave people a terrifying sense of oppression even though it was a hundred miles away.
There are turbid and foul-smelling alien dead souls, their bodies in liquid form, spreading on the ground.
…
The situation suddenly became more dangerous.
Chu Yutian shouldered Mo Duanfeng's metal scabbard and leaped off the mountain. He rode the wind, his figure gliding gracefully towards Baichuan. He asked, "I heard you were only second overall because the Imperial Sword Court left the top spot vacant. Is it because you're not strong enough?"
When Baichuan saw the knife box on Chu Yutian's back, he felt an inexplicable emotion in his heart, and for the first time he truly felt regret.
If he and Mo Duanfeng had not made that damn plan, the two of them would have been able to break through no matter how difficult the situation was today by joining forces.
At the same time, back in the valley, they had more options. One person could stay behind to deter the spies, while another led the team to break the impasse, while Tang Wanzhou stabilized the situation, allowing them to attack or defend.
Baichuan thought he had taken Chu Yutian, his opponent, very seriously, but he seemed to still think everything was simple.
"Bang! Bang!"
With his palms, he forced back the Jade Corpse Marquis and the Four-eared Ghost Monkey Marquis. Bai Chuan then spread his arms and flew into the air, controlling eight enormous formation flags. He activated all the formation symbols within the flags and stared at the flying Chu Yutian. "Where's Mo Duanfeng?"
"He died, a tragic death, and turned into a broken head."
Chu Yutian floated down to the ground, with a refreshing smile on his face, looking at Baichuan who was hanging several feet above the ground with endless elegance.
Bai Chuan said, "Would I believe you? If he were truly dead, you would definitely show up with his body to shock me. Chu Yutian, I've long wanted to meet you to see what the true disciples of the Taiyin Sect are capable of and how to fight them."
"How do we fight? Of course, we'll fight you alone in a group. You don't want to fight me in a ring, do you?"
Chu Yutian's scholarly, refined demeanor was shone with a carefree laugh, revealing a strange sense of madness. With a bang, he slapped the knife box, and a ninth-grade, thousand-character weapon sword flew out of the box.
With the knife in hand, he swung it casually.
A red blade light flew out, turning the land into blood red in an instant, covering dozens of miles, with the might of breaking thousands of troops with one sword.
At the same time, Jade Corpse Marquis and Four-eared Ghost Monkey Marquis used their unique Taoist skills from two other directions to block Baichuan's retreat.
A battle comparable to the clash between great immortals broke out under the three mountains of Fanye Valley.
…
In the wilderness a hundred miles away.
Li Weiyi, Qing Zijin, and the four puppet war corpses all had magic talismans attached to their bodies, which turned into six rays of talisman light and ran at the fastest speed.
“Boom!”
Thousand-character weapons kept flying towards them, posing a huge threat, and often landed in front of them to hinder their speed.
The four puppet war corpses distributed on the periphery were all wrapped in magic energy. They rushed out directly to collide with the Thousand-Character Weapon. Their bodies were extremely powerful.
Li Weiyi's senses were fully open, and he had already discovered the group of deceased marquises accompanying Chu Yutian. A strong sense of urgency arose in his heart. So, he immediately took out the palm-sized jade boat, and the magic energy surged from his palm, continuously injecting it.
If they cannot escape before the group of Undead Marquises in the distance surround them, they will be trapped in a deadly battle.
A real fight to the death.
Because he couldn't afford the consequences of exposing Yu'er in the ancient country of Suiyuexu. He might have to pay a price a hundred or a thousand times more in the future to repay it.
Why a crown prince could enter the ancient country of Suiyuexu was enough to arouse the curiosity of the Martial Arts Emperor and the Ghost Emperor.
Chasing behind them, three miles to the right, was the Emperor's Bone Mark Marquis. His skeleton was a humanoid beast, standing three or four meters tall, covered in ancient markings. Legend had it that he was carved by a martial arts master, a master who was studying some kind of cultivation method.
Emperor Wen Gu Hou is a failed product of the research of the Emperor of Martial Arts.
When Emperor Wen Gu Hou saw Li Weiyi urging the jade boat, flames flashed in his eyes. He shouted loudly, and then the patterns on his body began to flash.
"boom!"
Thousands of patterns scattered out like shock waves from an explosion, and then rolled up the dust from the surrounding sky and earth. In mid-air, they condensed into a sphere as heavy as a mountain, and smashed towards Li Weiyi and the other six people like a star.
The sphere is huge, with countless patterns flashing on its surface.
The power is terrifying and the techniques are exquisite and profound.
"Want to escape? Will I give you a chance?"
Four miles away on the left side of the rear, Huo Tianming's eyes also became stern, and he performed a Taoist magic of escape.
A flame coat condensed on his body, and his speed increased significantly.
The whole body's magical energy surged towards the ring-shaped fifth-grade thousand-character device in his hand. Scriptures quickly appeared on the gear ring, and the powerful energy shook the surrounding space.
Huo Tianming swung his arm and threw it out.
After the ring-shaped magic weapon left his hand, it began to burn and turned into a bright cloud of fire.
Faced with the two people's all-out attack, the four puppet war corpses stopped first, and worked together to release their magic energy and cast the Purple Thunder Seal.
“Boom!”
A rock and soil sphere as big as a palace was smashed into pieces by the Purple Sky Thunder Seal above Li Weiyi and Qing Zijin's heads, and then re-disintegrated into dust and patterns.
Li Weiyi raised the jade boat, which was about ten feet long, and used it as a shield, inserting it into the ground.
The formation pattern in the jade boat emerged, and the white light was like clouds, colliding with the flying ring-shaped magic weapon.
"Bang!"
The jade boat shook violently, and a loud noise that shook the earth was heard.
Li Weiyi, who was behind Yuzhou, felt a splitting pain in his eardrums. He plowed backwards a hundred meters with Yuzhou before he could finally steady himself. There was a pile of mud several meters high under his feet.
Qing Zijin hid behind the four war corpse puppets and used protective runes to withstand the shock ripples caused by the collision.
"Huo Tianming's martial arts cultivation is above dusk, and should be in the middle stage of the third realm."
Li Weiyi looked at Huo Tianming, who was rapidly approaching, and then looked behind him. Dark clouds covering the sky and the earth were rapidly approaching. He struck the jade boat horizontally with his palm, and the jade boat was suspended in the air, then flew towards Qing Zijin who was rushing over.
"You steer the boat first."
Li Weiyi stood alone in the wilderness, staring fiercely at Huo Tianming, a bright light suddenly blooming in his brows.
"Swish!"
Dozens of talisman swords flew out, gathered into a river, and ran rapidly along the ground, interweaving.
Thousands of sword marks were left on the ground.
Huo Tianming narrowed his eyelids, sensing danger, and no longer looked nonchalant. His whole aura suddenly increased. After stopping, he stomped his feet hard on the ground.
The ground shook like waves, then rose up and turned into a natural shield.
At the same time, he used his mind to retract the circular magical instrument that was winding in the air, holding it in his hands. The fifth-grade thousand-character instrument and over five thousand scriptures rotated in front of him, forming a second layer of defense.
The soil and rocks are broken.
Dozens of talisman swords flew in front of him with overwhelming force.
“Bang bang!”
Some of the talisman swords collided with the ring-shaped magic weapon and exploded.
More of them bypassed the ring-shaped magic weapon and went straight to the third level of protection of Huo Tianming's real body.
A moment later.
Dozens of talisman swords flew over, breaking the triple defense on Huo Tianming's body. A shocking bloody wound was left on his neck, cutting off the blood vessels, and a large area turned red in an instant.
Huo Tianming's eyes suddenly changed. He didn't expect Li Weiyi to be so troublesome. He covered his neck tightly and stepped back.
Just at this moment, he saw Li Weiyi taking a step forward with his sword in hand. He quickly mobilized all his energy to seal the wound, then dived into the ground and fled towards Fanye Valley.
Huo Tianming's voice echoed from underground: "We can't let this boy escape! Keep chasing him, regardless of life or death, we must keep him."
"Huo Tianming, the next time we meet, it will be your death."
Li Weiyi sighed secretly. The Twelve Taiyin Envoys were indeed masters carefully selected from thousands. With his current cultivation level of the early first realm, it would not be easy to kill any Taiyin Envoy of the third realm.
Li Weiyi retreated with his sword in hand, then flew onto the Jade Boat and placed the mostly dimmed Heavenly Sword Talismans between his eyebrows. Five of them were completely destroyed.
"Bullshit! All your tricks are just crooked tricks. With real ability, Master Huo can beat you by ten blocks. If you have the guts, stay here. Master Huo will give you a fair fight. Whoever wins will sleep with the busty girl for three days." The voice from underground was getting farther and farther away.
Qing Zijin, who was standing at the bow of the jade boat, was so angry that her teeth were itching.
The jade boat was wrapped in the defensive array shield, close to the ground, and quickly moved away.
Powerful undead spirits kept chasing behind, unleashing magical weapons and Taoist techniques, but all were blocked by Li Weiyi. The flying bronze gong of the Wanzi Qi was blocked by four battle corpse puppets wielding the Purple Sky Thunder Seal.
Gradually, the attacks became less and less frequent.
After flying a thousand miles, the enemy was completely shaken off.
Qing Zijin continued to fly forward in the jade boat, gazing at the endless, dark land. A suppressed sadness welled up in her heart. "Do you think they can escape?"
"Of course."
In Li Weiyi's mind, the figures of Tang Wanzhou, Liu Ye, Chang Yujian and others emerged one by one. Thinking of the overwhelming number of powerful dead souls on the battlefield, he actually had no confidence at all.
He and Qing Zijin were able to escape because they were not the enemy's main targets.
Fly out some distance again.
The whole world became quiet.
Li Weiyi carefully explored and confirmed that no enemies were catching up, and then the jade boat stopped at the top of a mountain.
"Do you still want to go back?"
Qing Zijin's cold eyes stared at him.
Li Weiyi put away the jade boat, the cold wind blowing his sleeves. He pretended to be relaxed and carefree. "I have to go back! I won't fight against the strong with the weak. I will go back in secret. What if I can be of some help?"
"I'll go with you." Qing Zijin said.
Li Weiyi shook his head: "You are not strong enough and will become a burden to me. You go first, whoever can go first, wait for me in the underworld of Tiandu River. We will communicate with each other through the secret code of the whistle."
Qing Zijin was not angry: "Okay, I only believe the whistle secrets from you, Nangong, and Shengsi, and take these two puppet corpses with you."
Li Weiyi only took away two of the four seventh-level puppet corpses: "Take care of yourself! With your cultivation level, it's more than enough to protect yourself by sneaking around carefully."
“Wow!”
Li Weiyi hid himself, held his breath, rushed down the mountain, and returned to the battlefield.
Before setting off, Li Weiyi and Tang Wanzhou exchanged a magical energy containing thoughts to ensure that they could sense each other's approximate location within a certain range.
The two of them had absolute mutual trust.
Ten springs surged in Li Weiyi's body, and he pinched the spirit crystals in his hands to replenish the severely depleted magical energy in his body.
Heading south along a wide river, the river water conceals the scent and traces.
Six hundred miles away from Fanye Valley, a faint battle fluctuation was sensed.
Li Weiyi's worries faded slightly, and he showed a look of joy. The battle fluctuations appearing here undoubtedly meant that the people from Shaoyang Division had fought their way out of the encirclement.
Each of them has an extraordinary origin, and most likely carries something to save their lives.
Once it is unleashed, who would dare to resist it?
"Very good!"
Li Weiyi rushed towards the direction where the battle waves came from, climbed to the top of a mountain and stood there in a daze, seeing the tragic scene below the mountain.
The battle is over.
Qiu Cheng died by the river, his head twisted off by a half-rotten corpse, held in the palm of a big hand and chewed, revealing a mouth full of sharp teeth like saws.
A short, mink-like bone marquis stood beside the headless corpse on the ground, drinking blood from its neck.
The blood of the immortal realm martial artist entered its body, and blood-red lines immediately appeared on its bones.
In addition, there were two Ghost Marquises who were cleaning the battlefield, counting the harvest in the realm bag, and refining the elixir of immortality in their hands.
They were all very powerful, emitting a strong aura and emitting strong yin energy. Dark energy covered the entire field, like four peerless demons walking out of hell.
