Chapter 606: Meeting at the Lakeside
After Huoyun Hou refined the sword energy that had invaded his body, he rushed over riding on the Dragon Elephant Corpse Hou and was also shocked.
It was a sunny morning.
Apart from the third-level disciples of the ancient sect and the emperor's disciples, who can defeat her?
Given Qingzao's attainments in body movement and Taoist magic, it would be twice as difficult to kill her.
Capturing her alive would be twice as difficult.
Seeing the jade boat being breached, Li Weiyi's eyes narrowed and his brows furrowed. He knew he was a step too late, so he stopped a hundred feet away.
There is no way around it; the plan itself carries the risk of failure.
Jingzhen recovered from the shock and immediately lifted Qing Zijin from the jade boat. He used his fingertips to release magical energy and sealed her.
Qing Zijin's veil had long since fallen off, revealing a face as pale as paper, bleeding from all seven orifices. She slowly woke up and regained consciousness: "Let's go, enter the third realm in the future, and avenge me... Wow..."
Blood began to flow from his mouth again and he could no longer speak.
Dark clouds filled the air all around, and more and more Dead Marquises arrived, roaring and making angry noises as they surrounded Li Weiyi.
Jing Zhen held the Purple Sky Thunder Seal in his hand, exuding Bai Chuan's noble and elegant aura. He smiled and said, "You deliberately let Qing Zao lead you away, making me think you'd fallen for a trick so I could focus all my energy on attacking the Jade Boat. First, injure Huoyun Hou, so he'll be busy saving himself, thus creating an opportunity to fight Qing Zao alone."
"You even exhausted your magical energy, stimulated the Dragon Soul, and performed great magic, causing Qingzao to completely despise you. I saw an opportunity to exhaust your magical energy."
"If Qing Zijin had held out a little longer, until you arrived, I'm afraid I would have been controlled by you. After all, Qing is a true disciple. If anything happened to her, I really couldn't bear the consequences."
"But there are no ifs. Now it seems like I won!"
Li Weiyi glanced at the powerful enemies present and said fearlessly: "Do you think I will be controlled by you?"
Jing Zhen said confidently, "You are a member of the Sentinel Army. You have responsibilities and you certainly wouldn't have the heart to watch Qing Zijin suffer. There's no need to go to that extent; it's so ungraceful. How about you release Qing Zao and I release Qing Zijin, and then we can have a fair fight. If you beat me, I'll let you go."
"If you are so naive, or if you think I am too naive, there is no need to continue the negotiation."
Li Weiyi said, "Captain, I've exhausted my magical energy. I'm sorry I can't save you. To prevent you from falling into the hands of evildoers and being humiliated, I can only use the killing talisman given by the Grand Palace Master to kill Jing Bing. You will most likely die under the talisman as well, so don't blame me. I will avenge you in the future!"
Jingzhen didn't think Li Weiyi was just threatening. She held Qing Zijin in front of her and said, "Li Weiyi, why do you think the true disciple hasn't come in person? If you dare to use your trump card, I guarantee that you won't be able to escape."
"I have Qingzao in my hand, who dares to stop me?"
Li Weiyi didn't believe that Jingzhen would kill Zijin at all, and he was able to figure out his mentality, so he had a slight advantage in this negotiation.
Before, on the mountain, Jingzhen expressed her love to Qing Zijin, so she must have had some ulterior motive. How could she kill him so easily?
Qing Zao had over a dozen broken bones in his body, and his magical energy had been sealed by Li Weiyi, leaving him extremely weak. "You two... stop bluffing... Li Weiyi, make some conditions!"
"Sister Qing is still straightforward, but I'm afraid Jingzhen won't agree to the conditions I proposed. Besides, what if he doesn't care about your life or death and goes back on his word?" Li Weiyi said.
Even though Qingzao hated Li Weiyi to death, at this moment, he could only save his life first: "If I die because of him, naturally someone will not let him go. I'm not just referring to Chu Zhenchuan."
Li Weiyi looked at the still frame opposite him and asked, "Did you hear that?"
Jingpeng stared at Li Weiyi, wanting to see what tricks he could play.
Li Weiyi condensed the Death Spirit Fire at his fingertips and injected it into Qingzao's body. "Now, we can exchange hostages! In addition, this also includes the Purple Sky Thunder Seal Jade Boat and the thirteen War Corpse Puppets."
Jing Zhen sneered: "You have planted the Death Spirit Fire in Chen Shi's body. You can kill her with just a thought. What's the point of exchanging?"
"I think you underestimate Sister Qing's cultivation level! With my current telekinesis, I can resist the Death Spirit Fire I planted as long as she breaks the seal. If you lend her a helping hand, I can refine it within a quarter of an hour. This is the time I need to escape from your siege." Li Weiyi said.
Qingzao felt the intensity of the Death Spirit Fire in his body and said weakly, "Promise him."
Jing Zhen said, "This boy has become a force to be reckoned with. If he escapes now, there will be endless troubles."
"If you insist on pushing him into a desperate situation, you are actually putting me to death. If I die, you won't be able to live well." Qingzao was very worried that Jingzhen would not care about her life or death.
After all, the Wan Zi Qi and Qing Zijin were both things he wanted to obtain. If you add the credit for killing Li Weiyi, it wouldn't be surprising if Jing Bing made any choice.
Jingfang pondered for a moment: "Because Envoy Chen underestimated the enemy, we failed. All the responsibility must be borne by you, Envoy Chen. Li Weiyi, let's release them together!"
"Bang!"
He threw Qing Zijin several feet away.
Qing Zijin fell to the ground and groaned miserably.
Li Weiyi also threw Qingzao out heavily, his eyes fixed on the static frame: "Put the Purple Thunder Seal on the Jade Boat, and you retreat three miles."
Jing Zhen placed the Purple Thunder Seal on the bow and jumped off the jade boat, but he didn't retreat three miles, only three steps. With his left hand behind his back, he secretly mobilized his magical energy and injected it into the Yin-Yang Gong.
Li Weiyi released spiritual light, wrapped Yu Zhou and Qing Zijin, and pulled them back suddenly.
The still frame also emits magical energy, sweeping across the clear morning.
After putting the jade boat and all the war corpse puppets into the boundary bag, Li Weiyi immediately activated the magic talisman that had been affixed to his inner robe, and rushed out in the form of a ray of talisman light.
At the same time, Li Weiyi's mind moved, and he immediately activated the death spirit fire in Qingzao's body.
“Wow! Wow…”
The still frame's right hand transformed into a phantom and struck Qing Zao's entire body, breaking the seal on her.
But he did not help Qing Zao refine the death spirit fire in his body as Li Weiyi had expected. Instead, he immediately played the Yin Yang Gong and hit Li Weiyi who was fleeing in the distance.
"Envoy Chen, Li Weiyi wants to borrow the Death Spirit Fire in your body to restrain me. If I fall for his trick, the Taiyin Sect will be completely defeated today and will be laughed at by the world."
The static frame used Taoist techniques to chase after Li Weiyi.
All the Marquises of the Dead also used their magical weapons and Taoist techniques towards the two people who were fleeing in the distance.
“Wow!”
Li Weiyi activated the governor's official robe and disappeared into the purple mist with Qing Zijin on his back, moving dozens of miles away.
The fairy mist and clear light of the magical energy had indeed been completely consumed.
However, there is also liquid mana in the divine palace.
“Boom!”
The Yin-Yang Gong struck the location where the purple mist ball was, the ground shattered, and the hills were razed to the ground.
"Is there still any magic energy available?"
The static frame's Dao Heart's external image was fully released, covering Li Weiyi, who was more than ten miles away. He shouted, "Disperse and pursue, use magic weapons to attack from a distance, and use your mind to attack Qing Zijin. Don't give him another chance to escape through space."
Li Weiyi released the light and shadow of the Fusang sacred tree, wrapping him and Qing Zijin to resist the mental attack from behind.
Qing Zijin lay on his back, his eyes blurred, and whispered, "Are you stupid? Do you think Jingzhen really cares about Qingzao's life or death? He only cares about clearing himself. As long as he breaks Qingzao's seal, even if Qingzao dies under the death spirit fire, it was you who killed her, and it has nothing to do with him."
"As long as the captain sees the selfishness of the evil people of Taiyin Sect and that your teammates in the Sentinel Army are willing to risk their lives to save you, then everything will be worth it." Li Weiyi said.
Qing Zijin was furious. She stretched out her limp hand, clenched her fist, and gently lowered it to him: "I was so moved that I almost cried just now...but you still doubt me...Do you really have to make me take my heart out and show it to you..."
Where Li Weiyi couldn't see, Qing Zijin rested her face on his neck, her eyes gloomy.
"Jingzhuang is catching up with us again. Try to activate the telekinetic star on your wrist, maybe you can scare him." Li Weiyi said.
"It's too far, and he has a physical body now... Let me give it a try..."
Qing Zijin's eyebrows flickered, but before she could release her spiritual light, the ground beside her and Li Weiyi suddenly boomed, and a masked figure in a black robe jumped out from the ground.
His voice was hoarse: "You go first, leave everything to me."
The black-robed figure was tall, with a thick chest and long arms. Beneath his mask, a pair of fierce tiger eyes watched the Yin-Yang Gong attacking from across several miles.
Around the Yin-Yang Gong, tens of thousands of scriptures condensed into clouds, with tremendous power.
The air within a radius of several miles was shaking violently.
The black-robed figure didn't flinch, but bent his knees and crouched slightly, arms outstretched. From the ancestral field, a violent surge of immortality scripture and magical energy condensed into a fifth-level body-protecting Taoist technique. A brilliant divine tower enveloped his body.
“Boom!”
The Yin-Yang Gong struck the light and shadow of the divine tower, causing the earth to tremble and energy ripples to spread in all directions.
The light and shadow of the divine tower shattered, and failed to stop the Wan Zi weapon from unleashing its original power.
However, most of the power of the Wan Zi Qi was dissipated.
The black-robed figure extended his metal-gloved hand and grabbed the Yin-Yang Gong. After explosively retreating dozens of feet, he stopped and caught a glimpse of "Baichuan" who was coming with thousands of sword energies.
Hot tears of immense pain welled up in his eyes. He clenched his left fist and punched the air around him, causing it to explode like thunder and annihilate all the sword energy.
"Shirakawa" also flew backwards.
"You've only just devoured the soul and taken over another body. You're not familiar with this body yet, and your combat power is far from enough. Do you think the Taixu Clan can do whatever they want? You're courting death!"
"Breaking the Void Mysterious Light."
The black-robed figure released his battle tactics idea, which contained a black mysterious light that could specifically restrain the Taixu clan and melt their souls.
In an instant, the surrounding sky and earth became so dark that one could hardly see one's hand.
When Baichuan saw this black light, his expression suddenly changed and he immediately fled: "You are..."
“Boom!”
The black-robed figure strode forward and suddenly pressed his hands to the ground.
Suddenly, the entire earth began to churn, and countless sword auras flew out.
The sword energy and mud dust combined to form stone knives, which chopped Baichuan and the dozen or so Dead Soul Marquises chasing after him, sending them all flying.
…
Li Weiyi carried Qing Zijin on his back and quickly fled a hundred miles away.
Qing Zijin was incredulous: "Who is this person who was able to stop all the pursuers by himself?"
Li Weiyi continued running wildly under the talisman light, and said with a wry smile: "Under the Great Immortality, there are only a handful of strong people of this level. Besides Mo Duanfeng, who else can it be?"
Qing Zijin was surprised: "Why did he cover his face, change his voice, and even change the attributes of his magical energy?"
"In this world, there are people who value face and dignity more than life. Before he killed Chu Yutian, he probably felt that he couldn't face the people in Shaoyang Division, and he felt ashamed to receive the praise from the Emperor of Shengjing."
Li Weiyi added, "Aside from spies from the Taiyin Cult, only those who can join the Sentinel Spirit Army are capable. The rest may have various character flaws, but they must possess a sense of righteousness and responsibility."
After running for a thousand miles, the energy of the magic talisman was exhausted and it shattered.
Standing on a hillside covered with aquatic plants, Li Weiyi looked down and saw a vast lake like the sea appearing before his eyes.
Under the illumination of time and moonlight, the lake water is covered with a layer of milky white mist.
In the vast smoke and waves, a giant magic ship a hundred meters long came with sails hoisted, as fast as an arrow.
Wenren Tinghai, the top scholar of the Demonic Kingdom, stood elegantly on the deck, gazing at Li Weiyi on the shore with a wicked smile, "Brother Weiyi, Tinghai has been waiting for you for a long time. After not seeing you in the East China Sea, I never thought you would rise to such a height. Would you dare to come aboard and reminisce about the past?"
Li Weiyi's heart instantly sank to the bottom.
At this moment, the magic energy and liquid magic power in his body have reached the bottom.
Just as he was about to take out the second magical talisman and escape, he saw a group of powerful immortal realm masters from the Demon Kingdom wearing heavy armor rushing out from the mud and surrounding him and Qing Zijin.
Li Weiyi laughed heartily. "I heard that Brother Tinghai is loyal to the Crown Prince of the Demonic Kingdom. I wonder if he carries the Crown Prince's heaven-defying magic with him?"
Wenren Tinghai put away his smile and said, "If you can use Yu Yaozi's unique skills, I can also use the magical powers of His Royal Highness the Crown Prince. Whether to fight a life-and-death battle or sit down and drink a glass of warm wine is up to you, Brother Weiyi."
"Since you have good wine, why not invite our entire Shaoyang Division to drink together?" Tang Wanzhou's voice came from afar.
“Swish!”
A ray of sword light cut through the air across the boundless lake and landed on the top of the mast of the magic ship, transforming into Tang Wanzhou's outstanding straight figure, with a dark robe and eyes like lightning.
The aura of her cultivation at the third level of the Immortality Realm pressed down mightily on Wenren Tinghai below.
All the Demon Nation martial artists on the boat felt as if a huge rock was pressing down on their heads, making it difficult for them to breathe.
On the lake, Nangong was riding on the back of a strange beast with a dragon head and a deer body, holding a jade bamboo in his hand. His whole body was covered with bright holy light, and countless white birds were flying around him. He came out of the mist like a fairy.
"Tanhua's wine is definitely different from others."
Zhao Tang and Yan Zhiruo appeared on the shore with smiles on their faces. They walked through the group of immortal martial artists from the Demon Kingdom and headed towards Li Weiyi and Qing Zijin.
(There was a typo in the previous post. I wrote Baichuan as Taixuying. Mo Duanfeng should be Taixuying. Today, 8,000 words!)
