Chapter 603: Light Mist in the Shadow
The sudden change caught Qing Zijin off guard.
Before she could ask, a human-shaped phantom light had already appeared in front of her, with blurred features and almost transparent.
Like a shadow, it cannot sense any substance and is not in gaseous form.
But the danger is real.
Qing Zijin was in a daze, her face pale with fright, and she raised her slender, jade-white wrist almost instinctively.
The green sleeves slid down, revealing the bracelet on the wrist.
There are more than ten telekinetic stars, strung together like round pearls.
“Wow!”
"boom!"
As she panicked, she injected a ray of spiritual light, and the secret text on the surface of more than ten telekinetic stars was unlocked. Dazzling spiritual light burst out, and the light shot out like thousands of sharp arrows.
From afar, it looks like a real star has appeared on the top of the mountain, shining brightly, and it can be seen twinkling from thousands of miles away.
The human-shaped phantom light let out a low, muffled sound of being injured, and was shaken by the strong spiritual light bursting out from the bracelet, causing it to fly down the mountain.
A horrified cry of surprise rang out, half real and half false: "The spiritual power star cultivated by the Holy Spirit King Mind Master......"
Li Weiyi chased back, glanced at Qing Zijin who was still in a state of shock and confusion, kicked off the mountain and chased after the human-shaped phantom light.
He waved his arm in the air and sent out a huge handprint formed by the clear light of fairy mist and magical energy, which covered down like a cloud.
A human-shaped phantom floated in the air, quickly steadied its body, and raised its arms to the sky.
Circles of translucent ripples appeared around it.
Suddenly, the magical energy released by Li Weiyi was continuously absorbed by it. The magical energy handprint then disintegrated, turning into wisps of mist, losing its offensive power.
Li Weiyi felt a chill in his heart, having never seen such a strange creature before.
The classics of Lingxiao Palace only record that the Taixu clan's bodies have no substance, and they specialize in attacking the souls and consciousness of cultivators, devouring them, and then transforming them into their own cultivation power.
Ordinary magical weapons, armor, and the protective magical energy of cultivators cannot resist it.
Once they invade the body, unless the martial artist's cultivation is several times higher than theirs, he can defeat or kill them by relying on combat tactics and thoughts.
It is impossible to guard against and extremely dangerous.
Of course, the Taixu clan also has weaknesses.
To launch physical attacks, they must possess the body, and through the body they can perform various Taoist techniques. In addition, martial artists with strong mental will and special combat methods can also resist defense.
However, the Taixu Clan's ability to absorb the magical energy and dissolve it into formlessness was beyond Li Weiyi's expectations. No wonder, the protective magical energy couldn't stop them from invading his flesh.
"Li Weiyi, you destroyed my physical body at the peak of the Third Realm, so I can only compensate you with your own body."
The voice of the human-shaped phantom light was sometimes Xu Daoqing, sometimes Tu Mian Gou, and sometimes a woman's voice.
The Taixu people seem to have no gender.
The human-shaped virtual light quickly shrank and turned into a fist-sized ball of strong light, shooting towards Li Weiyi's chest like a spear.
It didn't believe that the spiritual armor condensed by Li Weiyi's telekinesis could stop it.
Li Weiyi quickly retreated and condensed a formation of 108 thunderbolts to attack.
The ball of light was not afraid of the thunder and lightning at all. It passed directly and arrived in front of him.
Li Weiyi, using the Yellow Dragon Ascending Steps, narrowly avoided the ball of light, not wanting the Taixu Clan to get close. He wasn't entirely sure if the Spiritual Light Armor could block the static frame. After all, he was only at the early second stage of the Holy Spirit Mind Master, while Xu Daoqing, at the peak of the third stage, had failed miserably.
"I really don't believe that there is no power in the world that can restrain the Taixu Clan."
Li Weiyi stood in mid-air with his feet on the clear light of the fairy mist, and cast a golden swastika mark at the ball of light flying from below.
The reason why he thought of using this trick was because Tang Wanzhou once told him that when looking at the swastika mark on the stone wall, the consciousness would be like being caught in a whirlpool and about to be shattered.
No matter how strange the Taixu clan is, they definitely have consciousness.
Inside the ball of light, Jing Bing felt the mysterious power of the swastika mark, which made him extremely uncomfortable and dizzy. He didn't dare to touch it and immediately dodged to the right.
"It seems that the most promising genius in Shaoyang Division is not Tang Wanzhou, but you, Li Weiyi. When I find a stronger body, I will definitely make killing you my top priority."
The ball of light crashed into the ground and disappeared.
“Boom!”
The swastika mark fell shortly afterward, creating a swastika-shaped dent several dozen meters long. The golden glow within the dent lingered for a long time.
Li Weiyi immediately released his telekinesis to investigate, but found that Jing Bing had disappeared without a trace.
The Taixu clan itself is difficult to sense and lock onto.
Worried that Jingzhen would attack Qing Zijin again, he turned around and wanted to rush back to the top of the mountain.
However, Qing Zijin had already activated the telekinetic star on his wrist and quickly came behind him, wanting to lend him a helping hand.
"Where are the people?" she asked.
Li Weiyi explored the ground again and shrugged, saying, "He ran away!"
"What's going on?"
Qing Zijin's eyes were filled with anger. She could see that Li Weiyi had known Xu Daoqing's true identity for a long time but had deliberately concealed it from her.
Li Weiyi felt guilty and avoided her almost burning pupils. He returned to the top of the mountain and told her what he knew with his back turned.
The telekinetic brilliance on Qing Zijin's wrist faded, her long skirt swaying as she hurried after him. "He's the Hai Envoy? You knew he was a spy, a member of the Taixu Clan, and extremely dangerous, yet you let me go pick him up alone without informing me in advance. Do you know how dangerous it was just now? What do you mean?"
When they reached the top of the mountain, Li Weiyi collected all the Heavenly Sword Talisman papers on the ground and put them between his eyebrows.
With the help of these Heavenly Sword Talismans, even though Jing Zhen relied on the powerful cultivation of Xu Daoqing's body, he was still at a disadvantage in the previous duel.
The ground was covered with pieces of blood and flesh.
Only Xu Daoqing's golden skeleton remained intact.
Zutian, Fengfu, Qihai, and Jiedai were all cut into pieces and annihilated in space, which made Li Weiyi feel secretly sorry.
Qing Zijin stood prettily in the cold wind filled with the scent of blood, her skirt sleeves fluttering in the wind. She stared at the silent Li Weiyi's back with a pitiful look in her eyes, muttering to herself, "I understand! You're doubting me, testing me, right? You... you think I'm also a spy for the Taiyin Cult?"
Li Weiyi didn't dare turn around and look at her. He could imagine the look in her eyes at that moment.
Moreover, she knew that given her personality, the two of them were on the verge of a breakup.
Can't escape.
He took out the All-Things Staff Spear he had hastily thrown into his realm bag earlier, held up the giant chicken wing, walked over, and held it to her nose: "It's still hot, smell it, the chicken from the Immortal Realm has a completely different aroma."
Qing Zijin's eyes were misty and filled with resentment. She turned and walked away, saying coldly, "Since there's no trust, there's no need to travel together anymore. Keeping on guard against each other is only making both of us miserable."
"Where are you going?" Li Weiyi asked.
Qing Zijin didn't say another word and used his skills to go down the mountain.
After a while.
Li Weiyi caught up with her like a wisp of green smoke and stopped in front of her. Before she could get angry, he said, "First of all, I agree. If two people no longer trust each other, they shouldn't force themselves to continue traveling together. But if something goes wrong, look at your shadow."
Qing Zijin stubbornly raised her head and refused to look. After a moment, she looked at the shadow elongated by the moonlight.
I saw wisps of light mist appearing in the shadows.
She waved her hands, but couldn't disperse them.
Even with the telekinetic energy on his wrist, the starlight mist only dissipated slowly. Without a day or two, there was no hope of completely expelling it.
She looked at Li Weiyi's shadow.
"I have it too! If nothing unexpected happens, it must be Jing Jian's method. With the light mist in these shadows, he can find us even if we escape thousands of miles away. The Taixu tribe's methods are truly different from common sense and cannot be guessed."
Li Weiyi had just tried all sorts of methods, but could only refine it slowly.
Qing Zijin said, "It doesn't matter. I'm the evil woman of the Taiyin Cult anyway, so there's no need to worry about me. If you want to escape, then run for your life. The Taiyin Cult must also have a secret communication treasure. Jingzhen might be gathering a large number of masters right now to kill you. If you don't escape now, it will be too late."
Li Weiyi was forced into a corner and had to resort to his ultimate move: "Captain, do you know why I suspect you and what I'm suspecting?"
Qing Zijin didn't want to listen to a word and turned sideways to face him.
"Someone told me that you and Xu Daoqing have an unclear relationship and have met privately before." Li Weiyi said.
Qing Zijin instantly became angry and asked, "What nonsense are you talking about?"
This time, it was Li Weiyi's turn to face her sideways. "I didn't believe it at first, but Xu Daoqing's touching words of love didn't sound like the first time he'd said them. I think if your relationship is truly extraordinary, and I were to rashly attack Xu Daoqing, you'd probably fight me to the death. If Xu Daoqing uses the self-torture trick again, I'll have no way to defend myself."
Qing Zijin covered her ears with her hands, gnashed her teeth, and stamped her feet, saying, "You're simply driving me crazy. Who's spreading rumors? Making things up out of nothing?"
"Nangong." Li Weiyi said.
Qing Zijin was surprised and said in disbelief, "Li Weiyi, you're not kidding me again, are you? Do you dare? Let's confront each other face to face?"
"Why not?"
Anyway, Nangong owes Li Weiyi two favors.
Li Weiyi immediately added, "But the prerequisite is that we must be able to rush to Chuncheng and find her. The road to Chuncheng will inevitably be full of dangers. Only by sincere cooperation can we make it through."
Qing Zijin's words drew her back to the journey to Chuncheng. She temporarily forgot her previous unhappiness and pondered seriously, "Jingzhen must know we're going to Chuncheng and will gather a large number of experts to ambush us ahead. Furthermore, the Taiyin Cult is full of cunning schemes and is best at using a knife to kill someone, using the opponent's force to defeat the opponent's force."
"It's very likely that they will inform the Demon Kingdom, the Inamiya clan, the demon tribe, and those who hold deep hatred for you of your whereabouts. It's even more likely that they will exaggerate the threat of your breakthrough to immortality, even though your current martial arts prowess is already terrifyingly exaggerated."
"You have to know that not every martial artist is as gullible as Yu Baoyuan and Yu Shouyi."
Li Weiyi said, "But there is also an advantage. Who among the top masters of various forces would not want to kill Chu Yutian, become famous, and be admired and respected by martial artists all over the world? As long as they can contain Chu Yutian, I am not really that afraid of the other Taiyin Envoys of the Taiyin Sect."
Qing Zijin certainly knew that Li Weiyi had the qualifications to say this.
She asked, "Have you heard of Gu Zhenli's name?"
"How could I not have heard of the Demon Nation's new top scholar? Rumor has it that after reaching the Dao Seed Realm, he didn't cultivate the Great Art, but instead the Imperial Art. Even before breaking through to the Immortal Realm, he had already cultivated the Imperial Art to the third level of perfection. I wonder how advanced his cultivation has become now."
Li Weiyi added, "There's also a legend that he's the reincarnation of the Son of Martial Arts. He was born with imperial power, causing people and animals within a hundred miles to kneel down. Anyway, it's been rumored to be incredibly powerful."
