Chapter 244

Seeing Qi Jin with Zhuang Yue's face, coldness already appeared in Li Youyi's eyes.

And when he saw the sword in Qi Jin's hand, the coldness directly transformed into killing intent.

That was Jiang Ning's Jingyu Sword!

Tang Wanqiu reminded him in a low voice: "Be careful, she is the number one expert under Luan Sheng Lin You, and her combat power is not much less than Hua Yuzi's."

"Whoosh!"

Li Youyi stepped on his footwork, his body rushing out like a wisp of blue smoke, and a four-zhang-high battle-method intention divine shadow rose behind him.

Tang Wanqiu narrowed his eyes: "He really broke through the realm again!"

"But he is only at the beginning of the sixth sea, and there is a fundamental gap between fourth-grade Qi and Qi Jin's sixth-grade Qi." A Snow Sword Tang Court martial cultivator still doubted Li Youyi's strength.

"Yin Suwen is already severely injured; as long as he holds Qi Jin back, we will have a chance to escape."

Wanyan Xiaose commanded the insect swarm to attack the remaining Yinshan demon martial cultivators guarding the city gate.

The other five Snow Sword Tang Court martial cultivators followed closely behind.

Tang Wanqiu, unlike the other six, cast his gaze toward the severely injured Yin Suwen and attacked with his sword. If he didn't kill this traitor, he would have no face to face the families and friends of those martial cultivators who had died in battle.

"Boom!"

"Swish, swish!"

The book-shaped fourth-grade hundred-character scripture magic tool suppressed Li Youyi, lifting all the stone slabs on the long street and hitting the defensive arrays of the buildings on both sides of the street until they were in jeopardy.

The patrolling immortal envoy in white Daoist robes stood on the city wall and made two strokes, stabilizing the protective array.

Li Youyi's speed was swift, and he dodged in curves. Even if the power of the fourth-grade hundred-character scripture magic tool was strong, if it couldn't lock onto him, it was just a waste.

Qi Jin kept her eyes fixed on the trajectory of Li Youyi's footwork, watching him get closer and closer.

"Whoosh!"

Jumping above Qi Jin's head, the sound of a sword rang out, and the Yellow Dragon Sword was drawn.

With one sword slash, the sword Qi was like a long river hanging upside down, cutting through the passing-spirit army with a force that destroyed the withered and decayed, the sword Qi reaching directly in front of Qi Jin.

The sword Qi of the Yellow Dragon Sword seemed to be able to melt everything; once the passing spirits touched it, they instantly turned to ashes.

Qi Jin's energy overflowed, shaking away the sword Qi rushing toward her face.

"Divine Moon Eternal Mirror!"

Behind her, an exotic battle-method intention rose—a crimson divine moon, five zhang in diameter, shining over dozens of miles of the city area, competing with the bright moon in the sky.

This light attracted the attention of the older generation of powerhouses on Taoli Mountain who were nervously watching the situation in the Southern City, subsequently triggering exclamations.

Residents in the city below the mountain could hear an elder on the mountain shouting loudly: "Look at the southeast direction."

"Boom!"

Li Youyi was like an arrow shot straight, colliding with Qi Jin.

The two swords clashed, and the magic power transformed into energy waves, spreading out.

Sparks exploded like fire rain.

Qi Jin had already overestimated Li Youyi to the maximum, but the moment they truly clashed, she realized what kind of terrifying opponent Yin Suwen had just faced.

It wasn't that he was too useless, but that the enemy had become strong to an incomprehensible degree.

Fourth-grade Qi, a four-zhang-high battle-method intention, and a Dao body that hadn't been successfully cultivated—why could he be this strong?

Qi Jin was blasted back more than ten zhang by Li Youyi's sword. The three Five Seas Realm martial cultivators behind her were hit and flew out like scarecrows, their bones broken and blood flowing from their seven orifices.

Cracks appeared on the skin of the arm she used to hold the sword.

Before she could stabilize her figure, Li Youyi's second sword, third sword, fourth sword... followed one after another, each faster than the last.

The sword sound was like a dragon roar, and sword shadows were everywhere within ten zhang, beating Qi Jin until she had no power to parry, and dense cracks appeared on the human skin on her body.

Just having the sword Qi touch her made her extremely uncomfortable.

"Divine Moon Mirror!"

Qi Jin let out a sharp, cold shout, and an ancient circular mirror flew out from the magic power mist behind her, releasing ten thousand zhang of brilliant light, blocking the sword Li Youyi had thrust toward her glabella.

Li Youyi's left hand struck out a palm print from the air, forming a golden coiled-dragon divine seal that hit her heavily.

"Rumble!"

The human skin on Qi Jin's body exploded, and she flew backward, leaving only a broken face and long hair, revealing her true form as an Ash Spirit.

Like a person kneaded from charcoal ash, there were glaring sparks and demon Qi inside.

Li Youyi raised his sword to pursue, wanting to end the battle quickly. Blood mist and dense blood-colored scriptures flew out from his Blood-Handprint Demon Armor. Then, he thrust his sword, and a hundred swords flew together.

The Divine Moon Eternal Mirror battle-method intention blocked in front of Qi Jin.

The magic power in her body was mobilized frantically, gathering toward her hands and pouring into the Divine Moon Mirror continuously.

"Whoosh!"

The Divine Moon Mirror rotated, combining with the five-zhang-diameter battle-method intention, replicating Li Youyi's sword moves on the mirror surface and counterattacking.

A hundred swords came together.

A hundred swords returned together.

"Swish, swish!"

Li Youyi felt a secret chill in his heart and recalled the blood-colored scriptures to brand them onto his skin, turning them into a scripture demon armor to resist the countless sword Qi flying back.

Back then, when Qi Jin was repelled by Jiang Ning using the Ghost Flag on the Soldier Ancestor Marsh, she had said that she lost to the tool and that the Divine Moon Mirror was not on her person.

Clearly, she believed that with the Divine Moon Mirror in her possession, she possessed combat power not inferior to a Dao Seed Realm martial cultivator.

Li Youyi put away his sword and didn't use it, relying on the Blood-Handprint Demon Armor covering his whole body to shake it hard, punching and slapping, his demon might covering the world, his power infinite.

"Rumble!"

After punching through Qi Jin's Divine Moon Eternal Mirror battle-method intention with one palm, the six battle-method intention divine shadows behind Li Youyi appeared together, erupting with fifteen times the combat power, smashing down with his head, and his body directly collided with her.

"Bang!"

Qi Jin flew backward, sparks flying everywhere, her body smashing through a workshop wall and falling into the ruins.

Li Youyi landed suddenly, riding directly on her body, palm after palm falling like a violent storm.

She only blocked the first three palms before being beaten until she screamed repeatedly, roaring endlessly. Finally, she was punched in the neck by Li Youyi, and the flames on her body extinguished.

Li Youyi grabbed the Ash Spirit head and rolled to the side, dodging the book-shaped fourth-grade hundred-character scripture magic tool flying from behind.

The attacks launched by other martial cultivators of the Far West Ash Region present couldn't break through the defense of the Blood-Handprint Demon Armor at all. Only this tool could hurt him.

"Boom!"

The book hit Qi Jin's headless corpse, turning it into ashes and leaving a giant pit.

Li Youyi used his magic power to roll up the Divine Moon Mirror, the Jingyu Sword, and the four invitation cards that had fallen from Qi Jin's clothes. His figure flashed and jumped across rooftops, killing several more people before returning to the city gate.

He looked at the few people from the Snow Sword Tang Court who hadn't broken out of the siege yet.

He held up the head and said loudly: "Qi Jin has been beheaded by me. Why don't you leave your invitation cards and flee for your lives?"

Once these words were spoken, the martial cultivators of the Far West Ash Region, who were still unaware, had their expressions change drastically, looking over with suspicion and uncertainty.

Tang Wanqiu and Yin Suwen, who were fighting, stopped, both of their eyes filled with disbelief. Only they knew how terrifying this battle record was.

"Brother Youyi, are you a demon god descended to earth, or a heavenly god cultivating in the human world? She is Qi Jin!" Wanyan Xiaose's voice was sweet; she couldn't describe the worship in her heart at this moment with words.

There was no way; even Tang Wanqiu in his prime might not have been able to kill Qi Jin.

Tang Wanqiu was at the perfection of the Seventh Sea.

And Li Youyi, in the Five Seas Realm, still had huge room for improvement.

On the pitch-black city wall, the sound of insects and flapping wings came densely, attracting the eyes of everyone on the street below.

Shi Shishi, Bai Shu, and the seven torrents of fierce insects summoned by the seven Phoenix-Winged Moth Emperors finally arrived and gathered here.

Shi Shishi shouted: "Brother Youyi, are we still fighting?"

"They might still have invitation cards on them. If you get them, they're yours. I'll only give you half a quarter of an hour!"

Li Youyi flew down, beheaded Yin Suwen, took his invitation cards and three hundred-character scripture magic tools, and chatted with Tang Wanqiu: "What exactly is going on? Yinshan is located in the Northern Region; how could it suddenly rebel? Can that Demon King of Yinshan withstand the anger of the entire Northern Region? Or is it saying that it can move the eight-thousand-li Yinshan mountain range away?"

Shi Shishi shrieked with excitement, and together with Bai Shu and the seven Phoenix-Winged Moth Emperors, led the insect swarm to charge and kill the martial cultivators of the Far West Ash Region who were fleeing in all directions.

The seven Phoenix-Winged Moth Emperors were naturally there to collect money bags and boundary bags.

Those represented precious medicines and thousand-year essence medicines.

Tang Wanqiu looked at this scene, gazing at the seven long rivers of insect swarms that had no end in sight. He was completely convinced in his heart and supported his body with his sword: "Youyi, the world is about to undergo a huge change! I suddenly understand that the Du'e Temple might actually support the forces behind Luan Sheng Lin You, on the premise that he wins the Hidden Dragon Lantern Festival."

"The Dragon Gate has already defected, and the major demon clans have definitely defected too!"

"Both Zuoqiu Hong and I made misjudgments; our vision still hadn't completely jumped out of the Hidden Dragon Lantern Festival, and we didn't see the situation of the world clearly. I believe those old guys on Taoli Mountain must also be slow to realize it."

"The Heartless Golden Ape of Tianya Ridge submitting to Zuoqiu Hong is mostly Luan Sheng Lin You's scheme, plus the chess pieces like Ash Spirits and Death Ashes that were buried among the Southern Region martial cultivators long ago. The Zuoqiu Gate and the imperial court will definitely follow in the footsteps of the Snow Sword Tang Court."

Tang Wanqiu suddenly grabbed Li Youyi's shoulder, his eyes full of eagerness and hope: "Youyi, stop him! If there is one person in this Qiuzhouzhou City who can stop Luan Sheng Lin You, I'm afraid it can only be you! Do you understand what I just said? If Luan Sheng Lin You wins, many people will die... many, many..."

"I will do my best!"

Li Youyi flew onto the city wall, blowing a whistle from his mouth to summon the seven Phoenix-Winged Moth Emperors.

Time waits for no one; he must rush to the place he should be at most immediately.

Shi Shishi and Bai Shu followed the insect swarm and returned together.

"Is it that urgent? I didn't find a single ticket!" Shi Shishi looked at those fleeing Five Seas Realm martial cultivators, his heart secretly anxious.

"The situation is even worse than I imagined! I must rush to the Bright Moon Seven Stars Pavilion first; you lead the insect swarm and follow at the fastest speed."

After dropping these words, Li Youyi flew away, his gaze cast toward the towering Taoli Mountain in the center of the city. He clearly heard an elder shouting urgently: "Quick!"

Just the word "quick" contained countless words that could not be spoken.

Dragging their injured bodies, Tang Wanqiu and the other six, who had walked out of the outer city gate in a sorry state, saw a jade carriage pulled by five Snow Dragon Dragons, imposing and awe-inspiring.

That was the former carriage of an ancient Son of Heaven!

The small world where the jade carriage was located was filled with wind and snow, independent of the bright moon and clear sky.

Tang Wanqiu knelt on one knee and gritted his teeth: "Sister, I lost! I lost the Five Seas Realm martial cultivators of the Snow Sword Tang Court completely."

Inside the carriage, a young woman's voice sounded: "The Snow Sword Tang Court only lost in the Five Seas Realm. At a dangerous moment, you dared to swing your sword at Yin Suwen; in my eyes, you passed. Get on the carriage and return to the city with me!"

Tang Wanqiu was stunned: "Returning to the city now is very dangerous."

"Since you have already left the city, it means you are already out of the game. Riding with me, who would dare to kill you?"

The jade carriage slowly entered the city gate.

Tang Wanzhou's voice sounded faintly inside the carriage: "I came just to see how much weight the so-called young Son of Heaven actually has?"

It's the beginning of the month, please ask for monthly tickets!
