Chapter 640 Kill
Inamiya Shinden, with her ethereal figure and exquisite beauty resembling a fairy in the clouds, said: "In ancient times, the Buddha was burdened by karma and perished in the fire of karma, falling to the continent of Yingzhou. Those who died unjustly, wrongfully, or resentfully gathered there like pilgrims, and thus, the City of Karma came into being."
"As countless ages have passed, the Buddha's corpse has blossomed, and blue lotuses bloom in the white night. Are you also a new sprout?"
"I've long wanted to harvest your Azure Lotus to refine medicine. Now that you've appeared, how can I not take it? Li Weiyi, lend me a hand. I'll take the Azure Lotus, and you'll swallow the karmic fire. How about it?"
The voice was still Jiang Ning's voice.
Her appearance was still Jiang Ning's.
But Li Weiyi felt no joy at the long-awaited reunion; his mood was somber. If Jiang Ning's soul had been erased, and her body had transformed into a new sprout of rice, what difference would there be between her and the deceased Bai Chuan, Xu Daoqing, and Tu Mian Gou?
If she hadn't unleashed that sword strike beneath the walls of Chuncheng, Li Weiyi would only feel rejection and hostility towards her at this moment.
Li Weiyi did not answer her, but focused his gaze on Bai Ye Qinglian and Luo Yinji. In the current situation, as long as the two could be intercepted, everything else could be put aside for the time being.
"Amitabha!"
The sound of Buddha's voice resonates in the soul, and the mind locks the five senses.
Seeing that Chu Yutian was in a dangerous situation, Bai Ye Qinglian did not want to get entangled with Daogong Zhenchuan and Li Weiyi. After unleashing the sonic attack on the soul, thousands of Sanskrit characters appeared on the lotus body beneath her, turning into a stream of blue light, attempting to break through directly.
His soul remained intact, his five senses were not lost, and the sound waves were crushed by the lightning surrounding Li Wei.
"Whoosh! Whoosh!"
The two purple-gold seals, having unleashed their primal power, transformed into two long dragons of lightning, intertwining and attacking each other.
Even with the power of the White Night Azure Lotus, it had to avoid the sharp edge of the two seals, using Buddhist energy to envelop the lotus platform and Luo Yinji, flying in a curved path, and not directly clashing with the swastika weapon.
Li Wei shifted his feet, the air filled with the chirping of cicadas, his eyes fixed intently on the White Night Green Lotus, nine ancient runes appearing on his sword, his entire body poised to unleash its power.
Standing beside Bai Ye Qinglian, Luo Yinji looked at the young man moving rapidly in front of her and the two purple-gold seals flying around the Buddha Cloud. She was unable to calm down. She did not expect that Li Weiyi had grown to the point where he could directly challenge Bai Ye Qinglian so quickly.
It should be understood that any young martial artist at the Longevity Realm who dares to draw their sword and challenge Bai Ye Qinglian upon hearing his name is already a hero of their time. Everyone knows that such a challenge is certain death.
"Clang!"
The sound of swords rang out.
Inamiya Shinden descended from the sky, falling like a beam of light.
Luo Yin Ji folded up her oil-paper umbrella. The white-robed monk, Guang Ying, who was sitting cross-legged under the umbrella, struck upwards with his palm, his five fingers like clouds.
The Sanskrit characters within the blue lotus fell off, transforming into a river of golden characters that, along with the palm print, struck the sword energy pillar that was falling like a meteor.
"Boom!"
Li Weiyi seized the opportunity and quickly approached.
He swung his sword and slashed at the Buddha Cloud.
The white-robed monk's eyes were fixed on the sword light ahead, showing no sign of disrespect. With his left hand, he formed the Shi Yi Mudra, a gesture all too familiar to Li Weiyi, elegant and captivating, perfectly in harmony with the natural order, like a reincarnated Buddha, unleashing a large blue karmic fire handprint.
"Boom!"
A large amount of air boiled and exploded, its power shaking the heavens and the sky, much like the hand gesture made by the Buddha himself.
Li Weiyi, who had just slashed at him with his sword, was sent flying more than a mile away.
Li Weiyi quickly regained his footing, gripped his longsword tightly, and stared ahead, his fighting spirit intensifying. The essence of the white-robed monk's attack bore too many similarities to the fifth level of the Six Like Burning Karma.
However, the white-robed monk seemed to have already reached the pinnacle of his cultivation, while Li Weiyi was only at the fifth level of entry.
These two Buddhist and Taoist techniques naturally have many differences, and over tens of thousands of years of evolution, they have gone in two different directions.
Li Weiyi was certain that the former overlord of Lingxiao Realm, the Bhagavan sect, must have some connection with the Buddha's remains in the ancient city of Ye.
According to the murals in the underground celestial abode, in ancient times, before he became a Buddha, Bhaga witnessed a meteor shower, and subsequently founded his religion. He also collected the fallen stars and refined the forty-two-page "Bhaga Sutra".
The ancient city of Yecheng happens to be located right next to the Lingxiao habitat.
That's too much of a coincidence.
The Six Like Burning Karma, Lingxiao Rice Cult, Coffin Mountain Buddhist Cultivation... all originate from the legacy of the Bhagavan religion in the underground immortal abode.
Everything has its origin and can be traced; everything has its trace and can be found.
In order to repel Li Weiyi, the white-robed monk Yiyin dispersed his strength and failed to block the sword strike that descended from the sky from Inamiya Shinsengumi, thus breaking through the Buddhist cloud.
At the same time, his plan to rush to help Chu Yutian also fell through, and he couldn't help but sigh.
Li Weiyi remained blocking the way, his aura undiminished, seemingly unharmed, having reached the ranks of top experts below the Great Longevity Realm. The power of the Inamiya True Disciple also exceeded Bai Ye Qinglian's expectations.
"Bang! Bang!"
The white-robed monk picked up the staff placed beside him and wielded it with impenetrable speed, clashing repeatedly with the sword of Inamiya Shinsengumi. A triple image of Buddha, wild boar, and lion appeared around him.
The White Lotus remained as still as a pine tree, while the speed of the Inamiya True Transmission was as fast as a shadow, like a celestial maiden's illusory dance.
"Boss Li, shouldn't we go and lend Jiang Ning a hand?" Erfeng sensed something was off about Li Weiyi's gaze and asked cautiously.
"Are you so sure she's Jiang Ning? She just seems like a complete stranger to me."
Li Weiyi didn't participate, fully aware that his only goal was to stop Bai Ye Qinglian, not to win. He could take this opportunity to observe the strength and true nature of Inamiya's disciple.
Luo Yinji had already flown down from the Buddha Cloud, keeping a safe distance, and then carried her umbrella around, wanting to hurry to help Chu Yutian.
"Whoosh!"
Li Weiyi glanced at her sideways, then waved his hand, sending a white Nine Heavens Thunder Strike sword hurtling through the air.
The swordplay was unpredictable and ever-changing.
Even with Luo Yinji's cultivation level, she was forced into a perilous situation. In the end, she raised the rune-covered umbrella in her hand to block it and retreated.
At this moment, she finally understood why Li Weiyi was able to withstand Bai Ye Qinglian's Emperor Technique without being seriously injured, and why his cultivation and combat power had indeed greatly improved.
"Miss Luo, aren't you the First Taiyin Envoy? Why didn't you travel with Chu Yutian, but instead held an umbrella for Bai Ye Qinglian?"
Before Luo Yinji could regain her footing, Li Weiyi approached her on the wind and slashed her with his sword, sending her tumbling and flying away in a sorry state.
She struck the ground with her palm, her body springing backward, transforming into six or seven streaks of light. Each streak was a hundred feet apart, creating a considerable distance between herself and Li Weiyi. That was truly an extremely dangerous moment.
Li Weiyi wanted to give chase, but then he saw two figures rush into Baiye from the direction of Chuncheng and appear on a hill three miles to his right.
Wenren Tinghai and Bianjun Da Changsheng Huo Tingye received a talisman from the Taiyin Sect and rushed here as quickly as possible.
With their view obstructed by the white night, they couldn't see the battlefield dozens of miles away where Chu Yutian was being attacked; their attention was entirely focused on Li Weiyi.
Wenren Tinghai glanced at Bai Ye Qinglian and Daogong Zhenchuan, who were engaged in a magical duel, and secretly activated the Chenyu Furnace. He smiled wickedly and asked, "Li Weiyi, where is Nangong?"
For the Demon Kingdom at present, capturing Nangong is far more important than killing Li Weiyi.
Li Weiyi was in a bad mood and glanced at them indifferently: "I'm not interested in dealing with you today, get lost!"
Wenren Tinghai's smile vanished instantly. Given his family background and status as a disciple of the emperor, even if he wasn't adored by thousands in Xiaoyao Capital and had princes and nobles bowing to him, he should at least be given enough respect and attention, right?
"Li Weiyi, you are too arrogant. Do you really think you can be so arrogant just because you have a few battle corpse puppets? Do you know that the powerful spirits of the Netherworld are on their way? Your end is near." Huo Tingye had been severely injured by the purple-gold double seals from the battle corpse puppets, so he was already on guard and had studied how to deal with it.
Li Weiyi waved his hand gently, ordering the three phoenixes—Da Feng, Er Feng, and Wu Feng—who had reached the third realm, to intercept Luo Yin Ji, who was trying to bypass him.
Then, looking at Wenren Tinghai and Huo Tingye, he said, "Has the Demon Kingdom joined forces with the Netherworld of the Dead? Anyone who wants to die, feel free to make a move."
After saying that.
Li Wei ignored the two and headed towards Luo Yin Ji.
From the perspective of helping Yu Yaozi and the Ancient Clan of Time, and restoring the reputation of the Sentinel Army, killing Chu Yutian is the most important thing. But in Li Weiyi's own heart, capturing or killing Luo Yinji is more important than killing Chu Yutian.
He needs to resolve the doubts in his heart.
If you miss this opportunity, you probably won't have another chance.
This disrespect enraged Wenren Tinghai, who transformed the Chenyu Furnace into a six- or seven-zhang-tall furnace shaped like a human head, with tens of thousands of magical artifacts and scriptures flashing in the fiery clouds, before smashing it towards Li Weiyi.
Li Weiyi didn't even look back. He stepped on the Yellow Dragon and shot out to chase after Luo Yinji.
"Boom!"
The Feather Furnace missed its target and crashed to the ground, the flames that burst forth instantly spreading across an area of one or two miles.
As Wenren Tinghai rushed toward Li Weiyi, he used his magical energy to retrieve the Chenyu Furnace. To his surprise, he discovered that Luo Yinji, who was in the distance, was being attacked by the three strange insects and was only able to defend herself. She was forced to retreat repeatedly and was only temporarily not defeated because of the runes around her.
Luo Yin Ji is no weakling. If Wenren Tinghai doesn't use his Wanzi weapon, defeating her will be no easy task.
In other words, he could only fight to a draw with the three strange insects raised by Li Weiyi?
What about the other four?
An even stranger scene unfolded.
One of the strange insects exhaled magical energy to activate the swastika artifact, then used its two claws to hold the Purple Heaven Thunder Seal, spread its wings and flew over, smashing through Luo Yin Ji's rune defense with a loud bang.
This is……
They possess intelligence that rivals that of humans.
"Whoosh!"
Taking advantage of Da Feng using the Purple Heaven Thunder Seal to break the runes around Luo Yin Ji's body, Li Wei took a step forward, crossing a hundred feet, and swept away from behind.
The immobilization charm held in his left hand flashed onto her back like lightning.
Luo Yinji shuddered, and the magical energy within her body stopped.
With a soft thud, she swung her sword with her right hand. Her head flew high into the air, leaving only a headless corpse lying on the ground.
Li Weiyi immediately squatted down, stretched out his fingers, and quickly examined her ancestral field, wind mansion, five seas, and heart. His expression became solemn, and then he walked towards the head that had fallen to the ground.
The straw hat was broken, revealing an extremely beautiful but pale face.
After examining her brow, Li Weiyi pondered for a moment before putting the corpse and head into his storage bag.
He desperately wanted to capture her alive, but fearing that Luo Yin Ji might possess powerful killing techniques, he decided to kill her with a single sword strike for the sake of caution. With his second-stage cultivation level of mental power, the immobilization talisman he had crafted would hardly be able to immobilize a master of her caliber.
Seven phoenix-winged moth queens were lined up in a row, with the first and second phoenixes each holding a seal and their bodies crackling with lightning, facing Wenren Tinghai and Huo Tingye directly.
