Chapter 637 Ambush
Chu Yutian had no choice but to give up the punch that would have definitely seriously injured Li Weiyi, and he dodged first.
"boom!"
“Wow!”
Both their punches and finger strength hit nothing.
Taking advantage of this opportunity, Li Weiyi immediately rushed out to create distance between himself and Chu Yutian.
At the same time, strands of four-colored spiritual light flowed out from the center of the eyebrows, from the neck, chest, legs, to the soles of the feet, condensing into a telekinetic armor covering the entire body.
Suddenly, he stopped abruptly, turned around and made a palm strike to overturn the sky.
Chu Yutian flew dozens of feet into the air, and threw a punch from above his head, the Corpse King Fist, carrying corpse poison and the mighty aura of a martial arts emperor.
The air within a radius of several miles vibrated violently and spread to even farther places.
He cultivated this imperial boxing technique in the corpse of an ancient emperor.
“Boom!”
The palace-sized palm print exploded, and Chu Yutian's body fell down like a stream of light and an arrow.
The fists and palms collided fiercely.
The force of the shock caused all the gravel on the surrounding ground to tremble and fly up and down, which was a spectacular sight.
Li Weiyi retreated seven steps, each step ten feet long.
With every step, the ground would collapse, and the surroundings would explode as the force was released into the ground.
After seven steps, Li Weiyi completely neutralized the force of Chu Yutian's punch. With his right hand, he thrust his sword skyward, piercing Chu Yutian's face. The sword energy was like a solitary smoke in the wilderness, soaring into the sky.
Chu Yutian retreated like lightning, easily avoiding Li Weiyi's sword.
Li Weiyi stared at the frail man opposite him, his left arm trembling and his fingers unable to clench, almost losing consciousness.
Chu Yutian's eyes were complicated. "You and Tang Wanzhou are indeed the most outstanding twin stars in Lingxiao Biotope in the past thousand years. This small, remnant biotope has ushered in a glorious era. Judging from your performance today, I'm afraid that the moment you step into the peak of the third realm, you won't need several years of precipitation to fight me on equal terms."
The liquid magic power in Li Weiyi's body circulated, and his arms swung like a whip. With a snap, most of the corpse poison that had invaded his arms was forced out, and his strength was restored.
"boom!"
"boom!"
…
A giant golden skeleton appeared in the field of vision, with a battle axe on its shoulder, and its running shook the earth.
Chu Yutian came alone to save Jing Zhen, and the other masters of Taiyin Sect and the Realm of the Dead were left behind.
Seeing Li Weiyi activating the governor's official robe, Chu Yutian took the initiative and struck out with the Corpse King Fist again.
The moves are more domineering, with the longevity scripture running in parallel, and the light and shadow of the Corpse King are revealed.
After Nangong used the Spring of Light to kill Jing Zhan, he finally arrived, flew upwards from behind Li Weiyi, and Yuzhu swept out a sea of scriptures.
Below, Li Weiyi held the sword in both hands, and the light and shadow of the sea appeared, turning the earth into water surface. There were many strange phenomena, and he slashed straight forward with a sword that split the ocean.
“Boom!”
Even with Chu Yutian's ability, he was forced to retreat.
"You have been infected with the corpse poison of the Corpse King and can no longer circulate your magical energy. Hurry and leave. He is delaying time. I don't know how many masters of the Marquis of the Dead are on their way." Nangong's voice sounded.
Then, the two of them escaped according to the plan.
We cannot give Chu Yutian too much time to think. We must use anger as a rope to lead him to the ambush area that has been arranged long ago.
Killing the Four-eared Ghost Monkey Hou and Jing Zhen ignited two more flames in his heart.
Chu Yutian held up an exquisite black iron pagoda in his hand, and drew on the tens of thousands of magical scriptures in the pagoda to completely dissolve the attack power of Li Weiyi and Nangong.
Then, chase after him.
…
Zhao Tang and Yan Zhiruo are not only martial artists at the peak of the third realm, but also Holy Spirit Mind Masters. Among them, Zhao Tang's mind power has even reached the third realm.
Zhao Tang stood on the top of a hill, looking towards the direction of time.
Ahead, I saw a crisscross of light and darkness in the mountains. Three figures, the size of dust, soared and moved through the years.
He was usually a relaxed and calm person, but at this moment, his blood was boiling, his eyes gleaming with brilliance. "You know, if we can inflict an unprecedented defeat on Chu Yutian, our Shaoyang Division will help the Dongxu Camp regain its reputation in advance, and everyone can return to the family in glory. Those old men in the family will be proud of us."
"Internally, no matter how many humans you kill, you're not a hero. Externally, killing the Taiyin Cult and the dead is something to be proud of."
"If we can kill Chu Yutian, then all the young generation of human martial artists will remember our names. Just like all the martial artists in history who have killed the true disciples of the Taiyin Sect. In the past three hundred years, five generations, every true disciple of the ancient sect and the emperor's disciple has wanted to accomplish this feat, but no one has succeeded."
"Now, we have the greatest opportunity in three hundred years."
At the top of the hill, two formation gateposts were inserted one zhang apart.
Yan Zhiruo tied nine zither strings to the two doorposts, and placed nine spear-like bone arrows on the ground.
She repeatedly examined the nine strings and the formation patterns on the ground, then smiled and said, "Is this why you decided to participate in this dangerous hunt?"
"Yes, but not entirely. Don't you want revenge? Don't you think that the presence of geniuses like Sheng Si and Li Weiyi in Shaoyang Division makes people unconsciously want to fight alongside them? This sense of belonging and identity is even greater than that of the Shaoling Army itself." Zhao Tang said.
Yan Zhiruo pondered for a moment and sighed, "If only we could wait a few more days. When the cypress silkworms mature, you and I will both have a great chance of breaking through to the fourth realm. By then, our chances will be greatly increased. If we can kill Chu Yutian, even if it means losing more than twenty years of our lifespan, it will be worth it."
"The few days you mentioned are equivalent to two months in the Chuncan Netherworld. How can we wait that long?"
Zhao Tang continued, "Chang Yujian and Liu Ye have reported that the Demon Kingdom is at the border and is already attempting to cross. A perfect situation where everything is prepared is something you only encounter once in a while."
Yan Zhiruo's eyes narrowed as she looked off into the distance: "Here we are, why did Chu Yutian stop?"
…
After chasing for a thousand miles, Chu Yutian suddenly stopped and observed the layers of bright and dark undulating mountains in front of him.
An invisible sense of crisis arose spontaneously.
Li Weiyi and Nangong noticed that Chu Yutian stopped and looked forward. They were still more than ten miles away from the formation area set up by Zhao Tang and others.
"Chu Yutian is indeed not an ordinary person. He has a keen sense and must have been alert."
Li Weiyi stopped at the edge of the formation, turned around, and looked at the figure on the opposite hill: "Brother Chu, why didn't you chase us?"
Nangong also stopped, but his body moved to Chu Yutian's right.
Chu Yutian held the Xuanzhao Pagoda in his hand, his hair ruffled by the cold wind, his eyes solemn: "Did you take the elixir that can dissolve the corpse poison in advance?"
Li Weiyi didn't answer. He summoned the Purple Sky Thunder Seal and the Golden Sky Thunder Seal, which flew overhead in a whirlwind of movement. "There's no point in stalling any longer, is there?"
"That's right! You've been meticulously planning this for months. How could you possibly give me a chance?"
Chu Yutian tried his best to remain calm, nodded slightly, and shouted, "Mo Duanfeng, why don't you show up?"
"boom!"
Mo Duanfeng, holding the Blood Pool and Silver Sea, emerged from the mountain behind Chu Yutian. "It seems I haven't been able to completely hide the murderous aura of this place. You saw through it beforehand. How did you do it?"
Chu Yutian said: "You have done your best to trick me here. But if you want to kill me, are you underestimating me?"
A metal knife box flew out from his ancestral field.
The Gan Gang Sword, a ninth-grade, thousand-character weapon, flew out of the box and fell into his hands.
Chu Yutian did not break out from the deliberately left side, but turned around and slashed at Mo Duanfeng with a knife.
He couldn't predict whether any other direction might harbor dangers, so the only way he came was safe, even if the one intercepting him was the most powerful Mo Duanfeng.
Chu Yutian guessed that when the Gan Gang Knife flew out, Mo Duanfeng would definitely be mentally disturbed.
This is his only chance to break out quickly!
Mo Duanfeng's physique was as strong as a mountain and his eyes were as sharp as torches. He never looked at Gan Gangdao, but only locked his eyes on Chu Yutian.
The silver knife in his hand shone brightly, illuminating the sky in silver.
"Seven Wind Slashes."
The Dharma energy in the ancestral field seemed to explode.
Mo Duanfeng's momentum instantly reached its peak, and he slashed with his sword, breaking Chu Yutian's sword power and blocking his way.
Even the ground was lifted up, and dust, sand, and sword energy all hit Chu Yutian.
The sword energy that Chu Yutian slashed out was broken, and the figure that wanted to break through was also forced back.
Mo Duanfeng strode forward, his fighting spirit rising steadily, his sharp edge stirring up a gust of wind for hundreds of miles. "Do you think I will make the same mistake again? Chu Yutian, you don't understand the sword at all. You will die if you use it."
"boom!"
“Boom!”
…
The two men faced each other with their swords, swinging their swords vigorously, slashing horizontally and vertically.
Mo Duanfeng pressed Chu Yutian back towards the formation area.
"Before I set out, the Internal Minister said that I lacked the experience of life and death and still had a fatal weakness. If I could kill you in the ancient country of Suiyuexu and achieve immortality, he would promise me the title of the new top scholar. At that time, I was unconvinced and didn't think I had any weaknesses."
"It was you, my good teacher, who made me see my weaknesses."
"The sword must be strong and powerful, going forward without return, but... it cannot be rushed. The sword must be drawn steadily, and the opportunity must be seized to show its sharp side."
Chu Yutian said: "Your knife is not comfortable to use, right? Why do I feel that the power is not enough?"
"So what? Can you shake my heart? We only have half a quarter of an hour at most. Let's attack together and tear you into pieces." Mo Duanfeng's voice was like thunder, and the sound of blood and magic energy flowing in his body resounded through the mountains.
Nangong took out a formation diagram, pressed his palms to the ground, and released all the spiritual light from his eyebrows.
Suddenly, the formation diagram exploded, transforming into a blanket of light that covered the entire hilltop where Chu Yutian was. Within the blanket of light, formation patterns rose and fell, preventing Chu Yutian from escaping from underground.
At the top of a hill more than ten miles away, Yan Zhiruo placed a meter-long bone arrow on the top string of the zither.
With the help of the power of the formation, she used the strings as bowstrings and stretched them to the extreme.
Blood-red lines appeared on the bone arrow, just like blood vessels.
The two pillars of the formation released brilliant light.
"Bang!"
As the ball of light on the top of the mountain exploded, the bone arrow flew through the air at a speed so fast that it was unknown how many times the speed of sound it was.
In the blink of an eye, the bone arrow pierced through Chu Yutian's protective magic energy, passed through his armpit, tore apart his magic weapon and robes, and brought out a trace of blood.
It's not that I didn't shoot accurately.
Instead, Chu Yutian tried his best and used his fastest body movement speed, which was the best under the Great Changsheng, to avoid the vital part of his heart.
Chu Yutian glanced at the top of the mountain in the distance, and even he had a look of horror in his eyes.
The first string on the two formation gateposts was almost melted.
Yan Zhiruo's hands were covered in blood and trembling, so she stepped aside to recuperate.
Zhao Tang picked up the second bone arrow and took her place. Using the second string as a bowstring, he stepped back and pulled it apart. The light on the top of the mountain became brighter again.
