Phantom Shadow Steps.
Hundred Shadows Sword Light.
In the sky, Li Wei also unleashed his techniques and martial skills. In an instant, the Golden Core power he drew from the North Star Spirit-Breaking Spear split his shadow into a thousand figures in the air, and the original hundred sword shadows transformed into countless spears, numbering in the tens of thousands!
These spear shadows shot toward the assassin codenamed "Earth" from the Triad Assassins.
However, Li Wei held back, only shattering the protective True Qi surrounding the woman's body.
Then, he pierced her head and incinerated her soul. He needed an intact corpse, one that could be transformed into a corpse or a spirit puppet!
"Fellow cultivator, you won't be able to catch me anyway."
The assassin codenamed "Heaven" from the Triad Assassins, however, wasn't as loyal as his younger siblings. But this man's movement technique was quite bizarre, even rivaling Elder Qiuli's speed boosted by a dozen talismans. Li Wei actually couldn't catch him for a while.
At this moment, the man gritted his teeth and proposed a negotiation to Li Wei, "But I can catch up to that old Daoist Qiuli. He's trying to break through the formation and escape, which benefits neither of us. How about we make a deal? If you swear to the heavens to let me go, I'll help you catch him and kill him. I can also swear to erase my memories of today and sever all ties with your Li family from now on. What do you say?"
"..."
Hearing this, Elder Qiuli burned with rage, a surge of frustration rising within him. He unleashed another ten treasured talismans, continuing to bombard the formation as he fled even faster.
Li Wei, however, paid no attention.
He frowned as he looked at the blue screen before him—
[Remaining Time: 1:45]
Time was running out.
But he also understood his own weakness. Indeed, just as the "Heaven" assassin had said, continuing to chase like this would be futile!
He abruptly stopped, calmly gazing at the "Heaven" assassin and Elder Qiuli fleeing in opposite directions.
In an instant, as Li Wei closed his eyes, everyone in Su Family Town felt an overwhelming surge of energy, an aura filled with paradoxical power!
It contained an extremely sinister deathly energy, yet it also possessed the vibrant life force of a rising sun.
The two mid-stage Golden Core cultivators felt it most keenly. They were targeted by the aura emanating from Li Wei, an ultimate pressure that caused their spiritual roots to tremble!
They looked at Li Wei in terror.
A Yin-Yang symbol emerged beneath Li Wei's feet, extreme Yin on the left, extreme Yang on the right!
Empowered by Golden Core power, the Yin-Yang symbol transformed into a vast domain, encompassing the sky confined by the Eight Directions Formation Disc and enveloping both men within!
"What is this?!"
Elder Qiuli stared at the rotating Yin-Yang symbol and the mysterious figure shrouded in black mist at its center.
Then...
His expression gradually turned blank. His head stiffly lowered, his gaze fixed on his own abdomen as a shadow loomed over him.
The gleaming silver supreme-grade magical treasure pierced through his body.
Li Wei appeared before him!
Instant kill!
Elder Qiuli was bewildered. He didn't even comprehend how Li Wei had appeared, nor what kind of advanced power Li Wei had used.
"Yin and Yang interact, two sides of the same coin. Within my Yin-Yang Diagram, I am omnipresent."
This was the cultivation technique he had practiced his entire life!
[Yin-Yang Diagram, First Level: Heaven, Earth, and Human]
Li Wei slowly withdrew his spear, no longer paying attention to the lifeless Elder Qiuli.
He glanced towards the "Heaven" assassin in the distance, whose face was ashen with despair.
In the blink of an eye, he appeared before the assassin, gazing into his despair-filled eyes.
Li Wei smiled.
"Didn't you want to make a deal with me? The previous terms are no longer valid. Offer me a new one."
"I..."
The esteemed "Heaven" assassin, a mid-stage Golden Core cultivator, was trembling with fear, unable to utter a single word as he watched Elder Qiuli's lifeless body plummeting towards the ground.
Li Wei said regretfully, "It seems your value isn't that high either."
Without any further ado, he casually thrust the North Star Spirit-Breaking Spear into the "Heaven" assassin's chest, the Core Flame incinerating his soul.
Li Wei took a deep breath and withdrew the Yin-Yang Diagram and the spear back into his dantian.
He quietly observed his descendants still battling against their enemies.
A gentle smile spread across his face.
"Until next time. I hope I can stay longer next time and have a good look at this world."
As Li Wei's body gradually faded away, merging back into the ancestral spirit tablet, all the descendants of the Li family raised their heads, gazing toward the direction of their ancestor's disappearance, their eyes brimming with tears.
Li Dalong led the way, shouting loudly,
"May ancestor bless us!"
Li Yundou, perched on the Blood Spirit Fruit Tree, wailed, "Farewell, Ancestor!"
Just a moment later, he trembled under the gazes of his elders and siblings, who seemed ready to "cleanse the family ranks."...
