Chapter 604: Living Towards Death
Qing Zijin's beautiful, captivating eyes were filled with memories and wonder. "It's not a rumor, it's true. I met him once several years ago, and it left an indelible impression on me. He carried an almighty divine authority, looking down upon the world. The rest of the younger generation clung to him like subjects. Xiaoyaojing's proud daughters, talented women, and noble ladies gathered around him, and he chose them as concubines. This man was unlike anything in the human world."
"What about me?" Li Weiyi asked.
Qing Zijin looked at the grilled wings he still held in his hand and said, "You belong in the human world! Anyway, if Gu Zhen comes to the ancient country of Suiyuexu, Chu Yutian will probably have to avoid his edge and won't be able to do whatever he wants."
Li Weiyi was curious. From Qing Zijin's description, it seemed like she had met Gu Zhenzhen at a grand event in Xiaoyaojing. How could she be in such an event?
Temporarily suppressing his curiosity, he said, "Let's just head straight for Chun City! If I use all my strength to activate the Jade Boat, regardless of the consumption of my energy, and adjust my breathing twice, I can reach the destination in half a day. The dark spirit energy in Chun City can weaken perception, so it will be difficult for Jingfang to track us."
"At the same time, as long as the Taiyin Sect makes a big move, Shengsi and Nangong will definitely notice it and come to help us."
"If we flee in another direction, we'll have no choice but to rely on ourselves. Besides, Chu Yutian will no longer have any scruples and might even personally hunt us down."
Qing Zijin said, "But if we do this, we will be completely exposed, and Yuzhou will become a target for the enemy to attack from the dark."
Li Weiyi pointed at the light mist in the shadows and said, "We don't have many options left. Instead of fleeing, we should take the initiative and march forward into the years. We fear the Taiyin Cult, and the Taiyin Cult fears our drastic actions. They prefer to act in secret and prefer us to be afraid of them."
Qing Zijin was persuaded by him again, and her previous resentment was no longer there.
…
The jade boat was like a meteor, streaking across the sky and heading straight towards the huge years on the distant ground.
Li Weiyi held the spirit crystal in one hand and the telekinetic star in the other, standing at the bow of the ship and pushing it with all his strength. He was not as relaxed as he appeared on the surface, and was racking his brains for a solution.
Qing Zijin released all thirteen war corpse puppets, released his mental power, sensed the surrounding earth, and felt a sense of stimulation and excitement in his heart.
Before this, she didn't dare to release her perception so boldly.
"I have condensed nineteen telekinetic stars." She said suddenly.
Li Weiyi said, "With the help of the Holy Spirit Master Wang Nian's mind power stars, it's not surprising that you can cultivate at such a fast speed. What is your martial arts realm?"
"Not very good. I'm at the third level of Dao Seed Realm, but I haven't condensed a Dao Lotus. Are you still suspicious? Do you think that I'm hiding my martial arts skills like Nangong?" Qing Zijin said.
Li Weiyi avoided the question and looked at the mummies on the boat, saying meaningfully, "If we can cultivate fighting spirits and combat abilities within these war corpse puppets, allowing them to develop a fighting consciousness, and then distribute magical weapons to them, their combat power will surely increase significantly. At the same time, we no longer need to worry about the connection between us and the war corpse puppets being broken by the enemy's magical energy."
Qing Zijin snorted softly, "Don't even think about it! Once we leave the Ancient Country of Suiyuexu, all the corpses must be put back... There are martial artists moving quickly on the ground in front of us on the left, and there are also on the right. How did they get here so quickly?"
Li Weiyi looked down and quickly recognized that the beautiful figure running quickly over the mountains and hills on the left was Chen Shiqingzao.
Her melodious laughter, carried by the wind hundreds of feet high, reached Li Weiyi's ears. "After receiving Jing Zhen's message, I thought you would flee immediately, but I didn't expect you to choose to walk into the trap. Don't you know that Chuncheng is flooded? Even the Holy Officer of your Shaoyang Division has been seriously injured and died."
Li Weiyi's heart skipped a beat, but he quickly regained his composure and was not affected by her words.
If Tang Wanzhou was beaten to death, Jingzhen must have told the truth beforehand to break his fighting spirit.
On the ground in front of the right is a red-armored knight riding a dragon-elephant and holding a long sword.
The crimson armor began to burn as the dragon-elephant ran.
Inside the armor is a bone marquis, his body covered with sharp golden bone spurs.
Li Weiyi turned around and looked behind Yuzhou.
On the horizon behind them, a dark blue ghost energy covered the sky like a cloud. Within the cloud, seven or eight ghost marquises soared rapidly in pursuit.
"It's Marquis Huoyun, who reached the peak of the third realm ten years ago. The mount he rides is Marquis Longxiang Corpse, who is also at the third realm. With the skeleton and the corpse working together, even the Taiyin Envoy at the peak of the third realm may not be able to defeat them." Qing Zijin revealed the details of the red-armored knight.
Her face was filled with worry, and she was obviously affected by Qingzao's words. She felt that Chuncheng was no longer the other side of victory, but an even more terrifying abyss.
"What a powerful pressure! It's the Wan Zi Qi being activated, unleashing its original power."
Li Weiyi saw the flying Yin-Yang Gong, but did not see where the martial artist who was in charge of the Wan Zi weapon was.
The Yin-Yang Gong turned into the size of a millstone, made of bronze. Tens of thousands of scriptures fell off and spun rapidly, like a blue moon, competing with the years in the distance.
Li Weiyi immediately steered the jade boat and dived towards the ground, avoiding the first attack of the Yin-Yang Gong.
Amidst the piercing whistling sound, the Yin-Yang Gong turned in mid-air, drawing a graceful arc, and chased after them again, at a speed more than twice as fast as the Jade Boat.
Li Weiyi's eyes suddenly turned cold, and he controlled the jade boat and rushed straight towards Qingzao.
The distance is getting closer.
Almost at the moment when Yuzhou and Qingzao collided, the Yin-Yang Gong changed direction and flew over their heads with a deafening explosion.
The light curtain of Yuzhou's defensive formation was torn apart by it.
“Boom!”
Qing Zao was confident of his powerful cultivation and did not dodge at all. He raised his palm and cast a triple barrier of longevity scriptures to stop the jade boat. His figure only retreated a dozen feet away.
On the jade boat, the four great immortal war corpse puppets had already activated the Purple Sky Thunder Seal.
“Crack!”
Purple electric light surged like a tide towards Qingzao in front.
Qing had already experienced the power of the Purple Sky Thunder Seal, so how could he not be prepared? He lowered his body, took three steps around, avoiding the lightning, and at the same time, rushed onto the jade boat at an incredible speed.
With a swing of the sword, the sword light enveloped Li Weiyi and Qing Zijin at the same time.
Li Weiyi is no longer the same as before. Her figure moves like smoke and mist. The Yellow Dragon Sword collides with the Needle Rain Sword in her hand, blocking her sword momentum.
A flash of surprise crossed Qing Zao's eyes. She didn't expect Li Weiyi to be so fast and to be so skilled with the sword. Compared with the last time, he was like a completely different person.
She circulated her magical energy throughout her body and dragged her wrist.
"Chiboom!"
Sparks flew from the friction between the two swords, sword energy flew, and energy ripples gradually grew stronger, until they were strong enough to explode.
Li Weiyi was knocked out of the jade boat by her full-strength sword attack.
Qing Zao's sword momentum was blocked, and after a moment's delay, she was hit by a bolt of lightning from the Purple Sky Thunder Seal. A large number of profound array patterns emerged from her body, blocking the lightning, and her delicate body flew backwards and fell to another direction.
Li Weiyi, Qing Zao, Qing Zijin on the jade boat and Shisanshi stood in a triangle.
Qing Zijin stayed on the jade boat, using it as a fortress, controlling the thirteen corpses to activate the Purple Sky Thunder Seal to unleash his strongest combat power.
"Xiao Li, you have practiced in the Netherworld for two years and your cultivation has improved so much that I am impressed!" The purple electric light on Qing Zao's body gradually dissipated without hurting her body.
Li Weiyi laughed and said, "We're just getting started. Sister Qing is wrapped in a battle flag? Did I ruin your clothes last time?"
Qing Zao was not annoyed at all, and said in a sweet tone: "Yes, I wrapped one of the eight formation flags held by Baichuan around my body, specifically to resist the lightning of the Purple Sky Thunder Seal."
“Crash!”
On the jade boat, the Purple Sky Thunder Seal floating above the heads of the four war corpse puppets burst out with lightning again.
Qing Zao narrowed his eyes, used his Taoist skills, and rushed towards Li Weiyi at a speed so fast that Qing Zijin could hardly catch him.
“Chichi!”
Li Weiyi's body was covered with four-colored spiritual armor as he walked towards her.
Both of them were masters of swordsmanship. In an instant, countless figures appeared, swords clashing against each other, every move was fatal, and all kinds of Taoist magic were used.
In just two breaths, they had swung dozens of swords at each other.
Li Weiyi took four steps back to create some distance, and a rain of Heavenly Sword Talismans burst out from between his eyebrows, attacking Xiang Qingzao from all directions.
Qingzao kept his body close to the ground, retreated rapidly, and hit the hilt of the Needle Rain Sword with one palm.
“Swish! Swish…”
The sword body decomposed into dense rain of needles, colliding with the overwhelming rain of talismans.
Qing Zao's pretty face was extremely solemn at this moment. She had never expected that Li Weiyi's fighting power would be so strong after the integration of martial arts and mind. She also saw his purpose and fighting method.
Li Weiyi clearly wanted to capture her as a hostage before Huoyun Hou and others surrounded her.
It's extremely arrogant and audacious.
Fortunately, Qing Zijin, who was controlling the Purple Sky Thunder Seal, was restrained by the Yin-Yang Gong, otherwise Qing would have suspected that he had fallen because of underestimating the enemy.
Li Weiyi chased after the Heavenly Sword Talisman, sprinting towards Qingzao. He could already hear the roar of his dragon-elephant mount. The fiery energy unleashed by Huoyun Hou spanned several miles, engulfing him.
"Xiao Li, you are really strong now. I can only avoid you for now."
Qing Zao believed she was still a cut above Li Weiyi in combat prowess, having improved over the past two years. However, a head-on confrontation was unwise; encircling the enemy was the way to defeat them. The boy had too many hidden tricks, and she didn't want to take any risks.
Just by summoning the dragon soul from the governor's robe, she felt that her advantages would be gone and she would be in trouble.
While resisting the Heavenly Sword Talisman, Qingzao fled away quickly.
Li Weiyi noticed that the distance between him and Yuzhou was growing longer and longer. He knew that Qing had long intended to separate him and Qing Zijin and defeat them one by one. So, he put away the Heavenly Sword Talisman and hurried back.
In terms of physical movement and speed, Qingzao had such a huge advantage that he couldn't catch up at all.
"boom!"
“Boom!”
…
The ground shook, and a dragon-elephant corpse appeared, with an elephant's body and a dragon's head.
It raised its mountain-like body, its scaly neck, and spit out a mouthful of evil fire from its mouth, which condensed into a green waterfall of fire, intercepting Li Weiyi who was turning back.
On the back of the Dragon Elephant Corpse Marquis, the Fire Cloud Marquis roared, his whole body bursting with red flames. He raised his long sword and slashed in the air with a domineering and sharp sword intent.
The two forces work together seamlessly.
One attack has a wide range, and one attack has concentrated power.
One surged from the ground and the other fell from above.
“Ouch!”
The white mist dragon soul rushed out from Li Weiyi's official robe as the governor of the state, and collided with the karmic fire spewed out by the Dragon Elephant Corpse Marquis.
Li Weiyi swung his sword and slashed, colliding with the flaming blade above.
Qing Zao, who had been fleeing, chased after him and said with a smile, "Xiao Li, Bai Chuan has gone to catch your mistress!"
Li Weiyi did see Baichuan's figure, and it was him who was in charge of the Yin-Yang Gong.
At this moment, facing the pincer attack of three masters, he could not be distracted at all. He did not think about the reason, and abandoned all distracting thoughts. He flew onto the back of the Dragon Soul, ran quickly, and attacked Huoyun Hou who was blocking the way in front.
