Chapter 598 Ambush
"You can't wait for only two and a half years? Those who are truly disciples of the ancient sects would need several years, even ten years, to enter the second realm."
Li Weiyi certainly hoped that the seven Phoenix-winged Moth Kings could quickly break through. Once they reached the second realm, they would encounter true disciples in the future, and only then would they be able to play a role in the combined attack and create a threat.
After reaching the second level of Holy Spirit Mind Master, Li Weiyi made a big step forward in his control over formations.
Li Weiyi pondered for a moment. "We must act early, otherwise, by the time the escort team reaches the Tiandu River Underworld, it will be too late! That Blood Mountain Marquis is even more powerful than Qing Zao. He has single-handedly suppressed the demon clan and the demon kingdom's troops here, making them afraid to show their faces."
Erfeng said, "Boss Li, what you said makes sense. I mean the same thing, act in advance. Qifeng followed the Ghost Marquis who returned to report for a while, and knows the general route of the escort team."
"Plan before you act, Erfeng, you are becoming more and more mature now!" Li Weiyi said.
Er Feng said, "It's all thanks to Boss Li's good teaching. Boss Li is my only boss."
Li Weiyi couldn't help but glance at Dafeng: "Let's go, let's go now."
…
Seven hundred miles away from the Tiandu River Underworld, on the ridge of a snow-capped mountain.
The sky was dark and the wind was howling.
The seven phoenixes and the fastest five phoenixes acted as outposts and went to explore two different directions ahead.
Li Weiyi sat on the cold black stone, wiping the Yellow Dragon Sword and the All Things Staff Spear that had not been used for two years.
Er Feng flew over and said, "Boss Li, didn't we come to the ancient country of Suiyuexu to find Daogong's true teachings? Have you forgotten Jiang Ning? Even if she is dead, will you not be sad at all?"
Li Weiyi stopped wiping his hands and asked, "Why are you bringing this up all of a sudden?"
"During the time you were in seclusion, martial artists from the Daogong faction appeared in the Tiandu River Netherworld. They were two men who looked exactly the same. The Daogong disciples must have arrived. Are we really not going to meet them? That day in the East China Sea, she didn't kill me. I think Jiang Ning is still alive. I will never forget that look in her eyes. It seemed to be filled with pain."
Erfeng grabbed Li Weiyi's sleeve with her two front paws and said, "After we finish this job, let's go find her, okay?"
Li Weiyi pondered for a moment and said, "Okay!"
"Very good!"
Erfeng somersaulted and walked away happily. She pulled the confused Liufeng to tell her story, and then went to find Sifeng and Sanfeng.
The fifth and seventh phoenixes flew back one after another.
"Here we are, three hundred miles away."
Li Weiyi and the seven Phoenix-winged Moth Kings immediately rushed to the front of the escort team, intending to wait for the opportunity.
Soon, a team wrapped in dark clouds and fog appeared on the horizon.
The metal box carrying the Stone of Ages was all tied with chains to the back of a hundred-meter-long earth dragon corpse.
The earth dragon corpse had four claws, a dragon neck, a dragon tail, and a dragon head. Its body was severely rotten, and it was extremely vicious. Its head was ferocious, and its fangs in its mouth were like swords.
Hidden in the formation, Li Weiyi frowned. Just this giant beast of burden was not simple at all. It must have been extraordinary when it was alive.
However, with the corpse decayed to this extent, there probably isn't much transcendental energy left in the body.
Huo Tianming was sitting in the white formation tent on the back of the Earth Dragon Corpse Lord, holding a graceful Corpse Lord in his arms, drinking and talking about something with laughter.
The corpse of the Corpse Marquis was well preserved and had a gorgeous appearance, except that his skin was a little too pale.
In addition, there were two tall ghost lords following behind the team.
As they walked by, a cold wind blew up, flattening the footprints of the Earth Dragon Corpse Lord.
"Something's wrong."
After Li Weiyi's telekinetic realm broke through, his perception increased greatly, and he noticed slight fluctuations underground.
Er Feng said, "I smell a familiar scent. It's the pool of corpse water where I and Marquis Di Wen Gu besieged Nangong, Marquis Hong. It's invisible to the eye, so it's probably hidden underground."
Li Weiyi had originally used the four war corpse puppets to activate the Purple Sky Thunder Seal to injure Hong Hou. Furthermore, there was also the reason that lightning happened to restrain it.
Hong Hou’s combat power is not that simple.
After much deliberation, Li Weiyi still felt that he could not miss this opportunity when the enemy was in the open and he was in the dark.
So, together with the seven Phoenix-winged Moth Kings, they activated the Purple Sky Thunder Seal, preparing for the first strike, and inflicted heavy damage on the enemy.
The Earth Dragon Corpse Marquis entered within three miles.
Li Weiyi could faintly hear the sound of water flowing underground under his feet and could not wait any longer.
“Crash!”
The purple electric light was bright, tearing through the hidden formation.
The Purple Heavenly Thunder Seal transformed into the size of a house, and tens of thousands of scriptures emerged, charging straight towards the formation tent on the back of the Earth Dragon Corpse Marquis. The celestial phenomena also changed, condensing into purple thunderclouds.
The earth was illuminated by lightning and turned purple.
"Oh no, enemy attack."
Huo Tianming reacted quickly. He immediately hugged the beautiful corpse queen in his arms, broke through the tent, rushed to the ground on the right, and escaped underground.
Li Weiyi was amazed at the speed of escape.
“Boom!”
The Purple Sky Thunder Seal fell, and the formation on the back of the Earth Dragon Corpse Marquis only blocked it for a moment before it shattered.
All the chains binding the carriage broke.
A large amount of Time Stones flew out from the boxes, and some of them exploded into powder.
The massive seal landed on the Earth Dragon Corpse Marquis, followed by the dull sound of broken bones. With a miserable roar, the Corpse Marquis, possessing the third realm of cultivation, collapsed heavily, his back severely sunken and his skin torn.
Not to mention it, even if it was Chu Yutian, if he was successfully attacked by the Purple Sky Thunder Seal, he would lose half his life if he didn't die.
Li Weiyi stepped on a yellow dragon shadow that shot straight into the sky, flew off the ground, swung his arms, and used the long river of magic energy to pull the Purple Sky Thunder Seal three miles away, preparing to condense the original power of the second attack.
“Crash!”
Almost the moment he left the ground, corrosive corpse fluid gushed out from where he had just stood, turning into a huge wave of water curtain tens of meters high.
The next moment, corpse fluid oozed out of the ground within a radius of several miles, forming a black lake with a foul stench of corpse gas and strange waves.
"It's you again, human. I've been searching for you for over two months, and you've finally appeared."
In the center of the black lake, a strange human face appeared, emitting a roaring sound.
Wrapped in corpse qi, dozens of water columns shot up into the sky and coiled around Li Weiyi.
"You're just in time."
Li Weiyi was filled with heroic spirit, his eyes were filled with fighting spirit, and a golden swastika mark appeared on his palm.
After leaving the hand, the mark continued to spin and became larger and larger.
The entire void seemed to be spinning.
"Bang!"
The swastika mark crushed the water column, turning it into droplets that fell.
Immediately afterwards, more water columns were born.
Hong Hou's soul is powerful and he uses mental attack techniques.
Suddenly, an endless cloud of soul mist enveloped Li Weiyi, seeping into his body. In the face of this strange power, the defense of his magic weapon armor was useless.
“Swish!”
The light and shadow of the Fusang sacred tree rose in the void, forcing out all the soul mist and dark clouds that had invaded Li Weiyi's body, and then burned them all out.
Huo Tianming appeared at the edge of the black lake, activating the Sky Tooth Battle Ring while roaring, "How dare you, Li Weiyi, attack me? If I don't kill you, how can I report this to the True Master?"
Li Weiyi stared at him, and densely packed Heavenly Sword Talismans flew out from between his eyebrows, turning into a rain of talismans that flew away in a crisscross pattern.
"Your trick is useless! I have already broken through to the peak of the third realm. I am invincible under the true teachings... Why has it changed so much?"
Huo Tianming's face changed when he realized there were far more than fifty or sixty Heavenly Sword Talismans flying towards him. It looked like they were approaching a hundred. He cursed inwardly, "Does refining talismans cost money?"
The Sky Tooth Battle Ring, which was originally about to attack, quickly spun in front of the body to block, forming a huge vortex barrier.
At the same time, he did not forget to remind the beautiful corpse marquis beside him: "Yan Ji, quickly hide behind me. This boy is very strange and is one of the enemies that the true disciples are most concerned about."
Li Weiyi saw the Heavenly Sword Talisman being continuously shaken away by the Heavenly Tooth Battle Ring, and knew that Huo Tianming was indeed completely different now, and his cultivation had really improved a lot.
"Most of the Millennium Essence is probably with Huo Tianming! We must get rid of Hong Hou as quickly as possible, otherwise if he joins forces with Huo Tianming, I will fall into the same predicament as Nangong did before."
Li Weiyi believes that his fighting ability is still far behind Nangong's, but he has mastered many ways to restrain evil spirits, and no one can match him in this respect.
“Crash!”
The Purple Sky Thunder Seal finally condensed its original power again and fell into the black lake below.
With a loud bang, the lake surface exploded and the ground sank. Purple lightning surged in all directions like the roar of thousands of dragons.
Nine ancient secret characters appeared on the Yellow Dragon Sword in Li Weiyi's hand. He opened the Heavenly Eye between his eyebrows and shot out a beam of light, searching for Hong Hou's soul in the black lake below.
"Found it, underground."
“Chi!”
Li Weiyi threw out six pages of "The Book of Earth", which flew underground and fixed the area where Hong Hou's soul was.
Then, one hundred and eight lightning arrays were formed first, turning into one hundred and eight lightning beams that fell down and struck Hong Hou's soul.
Hong Hou's loud and horrified voice echoed from underground: "Huo Tianming, save me! This boy is truly strange. He has fixed the terrain here, and my soul cannot escape."
"Hold on, I will be out of this trouble soon."
Huo Tianming was enveloped by the overwhelming Heavenly Sword Talismans and roared angrily.
“Chi!”
Li Weiyi raised his sword above his head, attracting the six yang thunders.
The next moment, his body and sword, like a lightning shuttle, fell straight to the ground with unparalleled momentum, and the whole person crashed into the depths of the earth.
After a fierce confrontation, with a "bang", Hong Hou's soul was pierced by the Yellow Dragon Sword and exploded.
Hong Hou's cultivation was so advanced that he had reached the peak of the third realm. The soul mist that exploded out quickly rushed towards Huo Tianming's direction, trying to condense again.
What horrified Hong Hou was that all the soul mists actually started burning.
"No... Why is this happening... What kind of power do you have? Why is it more terrifying than thunder and lightning? Why... Why..."
Amidst the shrill screams, wisps of Hong Hou's soul mist transformed into a burning river of flames.
Gradually burned to ashes.
"Swish!"
The Heavenly Sword Talismans that were besieging Huo Tianming flew away like a tide.
Huo Tianming's body was wrapped in scriptures, and the Sky Tooth Battle Ring was suspended above his head. His tiger eyes were fixed on the black lake covered by lightning and the soul fire burning on the lake, and he was shocked.
How long has it been?
Li Weiyi was actually able to, while restraining him, kill a third-level peak alien Marquis of the Dead in a very short period of time.
On the other side, two dead ghost marquises were besieged by seven phoenix-winged moth kings, and their souls had been shattered.
Li Weiyi held the Yellow Dragon Sword in hand, his head adorned with the Purple Thunder Seal. His towering figure rose from the black lake surface, gazing towards Huo Tianming at the lakeside. "Are you truly invincible under the true teachings? I remember you once invited me to a fair one-on-one duel."
"Of course I remember. I remember the bets clearly. Oh no, who's doing it?"
Huo Tianming suddenly roared like this, and then did something that surprised Li Weiyi.
Suddenly, the Sky-Tooth War Wheel floating above his head smashed towards the beautiful corpse queen next to him, knocking her unconscious to the ground.
"Jingzhe, I have a very important piece of news here. You must report it to the Holy Officer of Shaoyang Division immediately." Huo Tianming seemed to have suddenly become a different person. His expression was serious and there was no trace of frivolity in his tone anymore.
