TERROR

CHAPTER 401 - TOP QUALITY SPIRIT STONES

Jiang Yi had anticipated this would happen, how could he not be prepared?

When he activated the Sun Moon Divine Cauldron, he had already inserted the dragon jade pendant into it. He did not activate it, but used his psychokinesis to wrap it up and separate it, in case he needed it.

This was his last resort.

Therefore, when Zhu Huangtian took away the Sun Moon Divine Cauldron, he appeared to be very calm, without any sign of panic.

Because as long as he did not die, no one would be able to refine this Sun Moon Divine Cauldron and take this supreme treasure for themselves.

At any moment, he would be able to telepathic sense and transmit psychokinesis to the other party to stimulate them and regain control over them.

When he was under Zhu Huangtian's ferocious attack, he did not use it, but at that moment, facing Lei Tianxiang's attack, he was in imminent danger, and there was nothing he could do, he could only use this move.

If he didn't use it now, there was a high chance that he might not get another chance.

Weng! *

When the Sun Moon Divine Cauldron obtained the spirit energy, it was like dry firewood encountering fire. It began to revolve crazily as light emitted from it. From within, an extremely terrifying power exploded out, and it suddenly shook.

Bang!

Lei Tianxiang's big hand that was holding the Sun Moon Divine Cauldron immediately shattered, turning into dust and disappeared.

Kacha, kacha …

Not only that, cracks began to appear on Lei Tianxiang's body. Like a spider web, cracks slowly spread out.

The thick bolt of lightning that was rushing towards Jiang Yi, was also instantly annihilated by this terrifying power and dissolved.

This Sun Moon Divine Cauldron was just too close to her, almost to the point where it could be ignored. Suddenly erupting with such tyrannical power, she was caught off guard.

The thunder and lightning of the world, return to my body! Lei Tianxiang's face finally changed completely. Instantly, both of his hands formed a handprint and he activated his spirit energy, using the [Thunder Sacred Art] with all his strength.

Tzzzzzzzzzzzz …

In an instant, the surrounding lightning quickly gathered and fused with her body. The cracks on her body started to heal, and in the next moment, she was completely fine.

Bang!

She suddenly slapped her palm onto the Sun Moon Divine Cauldron, releasing a loud bell's sound.

Sun Moon Divine Cauldron immediately flew out, landing in front of Jiang Yi, floating in the air, buzzing incessantly.

Puff!

Jiang Yi staggered, he spat out a mouthful of blood, his mind was shaken, and his Qi rolled: Such a good opportunity, but actually failed to destroy his body in one go, what a pity!

Blessed one, what a blessed one!

Lei Tianxiang's gaze turned cold, as if he had been desecrated by an ant, and almost capsized from the gutter: You actually dare to scheme like this, if I did not appear, and the Sun Moon Divine Cauldron fell into Great Ghost Priest's hands, you would have used this move, and perhaps, even killed the Great Ghost Priest's Spirit Body in one move, and counter-attacked right?

She never thought that Jiang Yi would actually have such a powerful skill.

In the end, she had still underestimated the one who was blessed by the heavens, which was the common disease of all Ghost Immortal Supreme Expert. It was so for Zhu Huangtian, and it was the same for her.

They were too used to living high above others. They lived high above mortals and held the power to kill and seize. They could kill people with just a thought, so they never really put anyone in their eyes.

Even the legendary Blessed One was the same.

If he did not even have that much confidence, what kind of Ghost Immortal Supreme Expert would he be called?

That's right! There are too many people in the world who want to kill me, and even more want to take away their Sun Moon Divine Cauldron. But to go against me, is to go against the will of heaven, you must definitely pay a huge price, even the Ghost Immortal Supreme Expert is not an exception! "

Jiang Yi wiped away the blood on his lips, and directly met Lei Tianxiang's gaze, speaking without weakness or weakness.

Alright, alright, alright, you are indeed a blessed person, and I have a whole new level of respect for you. However, Sun Moon Divine Cauldron has lost its trump card for so many years, it has lost all its glory, how can it release such a strong power? Furthermore, with your cultivation, it is impossible for you to use it this way!

Lei Tianxiang did not rush to attack. He was not afraid of the Sun Moon Divine Cauldron, but curious.

As she spoke, a change suddenly appeared in her eyes. Her eyes were actually all replaced by lightning as she looked at the Sun Moon Divine Cauldron with endless indifference.

Eye of Lightning!

Lightning immediately flashed in her eyes as she broke through the layers of barriers. She saw a dragon shaped jade pendant among the Sun Moon Divine Cauldron, which was emitting rich amounts of spirit energy.

This is … Top quality Spirit Stone! She was shocked, How can you possess a top-grade Spirit Stone? Who gave it to you? Speak!

Top quality Spirit Stone? So it turns out that this Dragon Jade Pendant is actually an incomparably precious top-grade Spirit Stone. When Jiang Yi heard this, he was also shocked.

Spirit Stone were divided into lower, middle, upper, top, and royal rank. Even though he had already thought highly of the dragon jade pendant, he had still underestimated it.

At this moment, he knew that he already owed Jiang Yunlan a gargantuan favor.

This was because the highest quality Spirit Stone s were too rare and priceless. In a spirit mine, there was only one top quality Spirit Stone.

If he used a piece of the highest quality Spirit Stone, he would definitely be able to get an expert that had transcended the mortal realm to help him.

To think that Jiang Yunlan was actually willing to gift it to her, no matter what motives she had, Jiang Yi would be extremely grateful.

This piece of top quality Spirit Stone was originally among the Sun Moon Divine Cauldron! Jiang Yi replied.

The Five Thunders Sect was also on the endless islands there.

If Lei Tianxiang found out that it was the top quality Spirit Stone that Jiang Yunlan gave him, he was afraid that it would implicate the entire Divine Husbandman.

Do you think that this Saintess is so easily fooled? All those years ago, the Sun Moon Divine Cauldron had already used up all their energy during the great war. How could there be only a single piece of the highest quality Spirit Stone left? Looks like you're not going to speak the truth. That's fine too, wait until I suppress you, then use the soul stripping spell and you'll know the truth!"

Lei Tianxiang said coldly, and then he prepared to make his move.

The Spirit Extraction Technique was similar to the Seeking Soul Arts in the Desolation Clan's Five Spirits of the Witchcraft technique, it could seize a person's memory.

However, once one used the Soul Separation Technique, one would die without a doubt.

Jiang Yi's heart sank a little, as he knew that Lei Tianxiang had finally made a move and was going to kill him.

He was not optimistic, thinking that just by relying on a piece of the top quality Spirit Stone, he could defeat Lei Tianxiang. No matter how strong the Sun Moon Divine Cauldron was, it was still not a Spirit Treasure.

Lei Tianxiang!

But just at this moment, a voice that contained rage suddenly sounded out in the sky.

A figure flew over from afar, and in the blink of an eye, he was close to them.

This man was actually Great Ghost Priest.

Lei Tianxiang, you dare destroy my Spirit Body, don't even think about leaving today, you must die! Great Ghost Priest's face was sinister, revealing a monstrous hatred.

The Spirit Body was killed by someone, and there was no one who was not angry and resentful.

Jiang Yi could imagine, that Zhu Huangtian was probably also like this, wishing for nothing more than to rip him out and chop him into eight pieces.

However, the death of the Spirit Body, no matter if it was Great Mind Controller or himself, were both heavy injuries, and it was impossible to recover from them in a short period of time.

No matter how angry Zhu Huangtian was, he would not run over and fight with his life on the line.

Great Ghost Priest was the same as well. After being beheaded by Lei Tianxiang, his injuries must have been severe, but his cultivation was one realm higher than Zhu Huangtian's. He was in the second realm of the Ghost Immortal Realm, the Origin Spirit had left his body.

So this time, the one that descended was not the Spirit Body, but the Origin Spirit!

If the Origin Spirit was killed, it would die without a doubt.

But an existence like the Great Ghost Priest, who killed people like this, who was merciless, who was vengeful, had been killed by Lei Tianxiang, how could he take this lying down?

Avenge every night!

Therefore, when the Origin Spirit came out, he immediately rushed over to take revenge on Lei Tianxiang.

Furthermore, the reason he left the Wasteland this time and came to the Li Zhou was to kill Jiang Yi so as to take revenge for his beloved disciple, Prince Wu La.

If he failed to accomplish anything and returned in defeat, then how would he be able to establish himself in the Wasteland in the future?

His dignity and status definitely would not allow such a thing to happen.

Scram! Lei Tianxiang did not even look at it, he just roared, and the lightning condensed again, transforming into a gigantic lightning blade that slashed across the sky.

"Lei Tianxiang, you have just broken through the mental state in your womb and have not completely recovered your cultivation. Right now, you are only at the second level of the Ghost Immortal Realm, the Origin Spirit has exited the body and is in the same realm as me. Just now, in order to break Zhu Huangtian's Nine Star Heaven Coiling Art, I used the Blood Fire Spirit Art.

His nails suddenly grew longer and sharper, and a ghastly black aura surrounded them, forming a huge armor blade with countless lines branded on it. From one side, it looked like a piece of tortoise shell, but on the other side, it was a blade with a very sharp edge.

Five Fingers Armour Technique!

Ka-cha! *

The two blades clashed, but the lightning blade was not a match, and it broke apart.

These thunderbolts were only the result of the heaven and earth thunder you absorbed while cultivating the 'Thunder Sacred Law'. They aren't real thunderbolts, so how could they resist me?

Great Ghost Priest broke apart the lightning blade and immediately flew forward, slashing towards Lei Tianxiang with his blade.

Great Ghost Priest, didn't you come here to kill Jiang Yi and seize his Sun Moon Divine Cauldron? Now that the Sun Moon Divine Cauldron has been seized by him, you want to attack me? Lei Tianxiang's figure flashed, and dodged the blade.

Now that the Great Ghost Priest's Origin Spirit had revealed itself, it was indeed a little difficult to deal with.

However, if the Great Ghost Priest were to attack Jiang Yi, he would definitely suffer the counterattack from the Sun Moon Divine Cauldron.

That top quality Spirit Stone, when used to activate the 'Sun Moon Divine Cauldron', could not sustain itself for much longer. Once the spirit energy was exhausted, Jiang Yi would still not be able to escape death.

However, he had to endure the power of the Sun Moon Divine Cauldron first.

Therefore, her heart was moved. She wanted to tempt the Great Ghost Priest to deal with Jiang Yi, consume that piece of the top quality Spirit Stone, and then kill the two of them in one go.

CHAPTER 402 - REENCOUNTER STRONG ENEMY

This was a plan that could kill two birds with one stone.

Lei Tianxiang made up his mind in a split-second.

She could already tell that this time, Great Ghost Priest was doing something out of the ordinary, and was probably many times stronger than the Spirit Body.

Furthermore, she had just been ambushed by Jiang Yi earlier, and one of his arms was instantly destroyed while her body was in tatters.

Great Ghost Priest's guess was not wrong, her current cultivation level was only equivalent to the second realm of the Ghost Immortal Realm, the Origin Spirit had exited.

She had just solved the mystery in her womb, and it was impossible for her to reach the heights of her previous life in an instant. She would need a long period of cultivation before she could return to the peak after consuming all kinds of miraculous pills and medicines.

However, the attacks of the Great Ghost Priest still did not stop. Furthermore, the attacks were getting fiercer and fiercer. The will to kill Lei Tianxiang was as firm as a rock and unshakable.

Lei Tianxiang had killed his Spirit Body, so he had to use a tooth for a tooth, and blood for blood to vent his anger.

If I were to kill you, Jiang Yi would be like a fish on a hot knife, aren't you going to let me slaughter him? Great Ghost Priest said fiercely.

He had just appeared, and simply did not know what had happened. As such, he did not place Jiang Yi in his eyes.

Stupid! Although the Origin Spirit came out of its body, how much confidence do you have in killing me? Lei Tianxiang dodged the attack and said coldly: Jiang Yi is a blessed person, blessed by the heavens. If he had divine help, if it was that easy to kill him, would he still have survived until now?"

Don't even think about shaking my will. Kill! However, the Great Ghost Priest did not listen. With a wave of his five fingers, the huge blade edge of the armor blade bloomed.

When he used this Five Fingers Armour Technique, he seemed to be much stronger than Prince Wu La. His attacks were ferocious, like a spirit treasure.

How could he not know that Jiang Yi was the blessed one? But even if he was the one blessed by the heavens, he had absolute confidence in killing him.

Unless it was someone as strong as Hong Weiyi, who was blessed by the heavens, he would take him seriously.

Damn it! Lei Tianxiang was angered to the extreme, he did not expect the Great Ghost Priest to be like this.

She immediately knew that her plan had failed. She had no way to put it to good use.

In that case, I will destroy you completely! She suddenly let out a loud shout and her face revealed a strong killing intent. She no longer tried to run and immediately formed a hand seal with her hand when the armored knife was coming at her. She pushed the seal away.

Astral Thunder Seal!

In the blink of an eye, countless thunderbolts gathered in the sky to form a giant seal. On the giant seal, there was a flash of lightning and many lightning snakes were moving about. The symbols appeared one by one and emitted a destructive aura.

This was one of the killing moves of the Thunder Saint Technique. It was called the Astral Thunder Seal.

BOOM!

The moment the seal was unleashed, the winds and clouds churned and the earth shook. The enormous saber had no room to block in the face of the Astral Thunder Seal as it exploded with a loud rumble.

Astral Thunder Seal? The nail on Great Ghost Priest's hand snapped, and fresh blood flowed out. The Origin Spirit retreated a few steps in the air, and the Astral Thunder Seal became like a mountain, enveloping and suppressing, wanting to destroy everything.

The sky is dark. Ming Ming is dead!

Without panicking in the slightest, he immediately used the absolute art, The Dark Sky Death Dao. The sky immediately darkened and became extremely dark. A dense deathly aura filled the void, causing it to decline, decay, and perish …

The light of the great sun was completely blocked, making it look dark and lifeless.

The sky was dark and the sun was dim. The bones of the dead were like mountains of frost!

Kacha, kacha …

The lightning on the Astral Thunder Seal suddenly dimmed and a deathly gray color appeared. It immediately let out an intense sound, and cracks began to appear on its surface.

Undying thunder aura, intimidating the heavens and earth! Lei Tianxiang immediately channeled his spirit force into it, causing the âLightning Force Seal 'to release light once again.

The two second realm of the Ghost Immortals, the almighty experts of the Origin Spirit s, both displayed their ultimate moves, launching their attacks in the air.

On the Jade Dragon Peak, Jiang Yi secretly heaved a sigh of relief. The arrival of the Great Ghost Priest was too timely.

This was the result he had always wanted.

However, these two were definitely not kind-hearted people. Once a victor was determined, it would be the end of him.

This is my only chance of survival. Take advantage of this opportunity and run away! Jiang Yi looked around, what entered his eyes was boundless white snow, the snow had sealed off the mountain, and he no longer had a road to walk on.

This might be troublesome for a rune cultivator, but it wasn't much for an expert of the Martial Cultivatior. If he wanted to escape, there would be a path everywhere.

But where should he run to? This was a question he had to consider carefully.

But before I run away, I need to kill one more person! Suddenly, his gaze landed on Mo Wentong's body, flickering with a dense killing intent.

You … What are you doing? Mo Wentong immediately felt the killing intent, as though he was being stared at by a ferocious beast, his heart trembled uncontrollably, and he retreated a few steps, exclaiming in shock.

What do you think I'm going to do? Jiang Yi took a step forward and walked over, his face revealing a cold smile.

When Mu Jingtang and Li Qing saw this scene, they did not dare step forward to stop it, because Jiang Yi had the Sun Moon Divine Cauldron in his hands.

Jiang Yi, I am a young lord of the Mo Sect, my identity is noble, if you dare kill me, you will definitely be chased endlessly by the Mo Sect. Even if you can escape, can the people from the Li Sect escape? Think about it, don't make a mistake!

Mo Wentong screamed.

He was also very smart. He knew that Jiang Yi was a loyal man and cared a lot about the life of the Li Sect disciples, so he used this as a threat, hoping that Jiang Yi would be afraid.

Unfortunately, he was wrong!

Very well. You dare to threaten me? In that case, I will kill you even more so, to prevent future troubles. The killing intent in Jiang Yi's eyes became even stronger, with just a few words, his body turned into a blur, and pounced towards Mo Wentong.

No … He cried out and turned to run.

However, his speed was still pitifully slow, and in an instant, Jiang Yi caught up to him and pounced on him with a punch.

Pop!

He immediately flew out and landed on the ground. He spat out large mouthfuls of blood as his entire body split open. Inch by inch, his tendons and bones were fractured, and streams of blood flowed out. Even his internal organs were shattered.

Mo Wentong had died, and was simply unable to withstand the power of an expert of the Rebirth Realm, which was incomparably tragic.

Jiang Yi killed Mo Wentong in an instant, not even bothering to look at Mu Jingtang, Li Qing and Su Yun looked at each other, and immediately flew back towards the Jade Dragon Peak.

Halt! But at this time, Mu Jingtang could no longer hold it in, with a loud roar, he charged forward and threw a punch out.

Jiang Yi killing Mo Wentong had nothing to do with him, but if he wanted to escape, he would absolutely not agree.

Kill!

Even Li Qing made his move, he immediately controlled his flying sword and flew towards Jiang Yi, wanting to kill him.

Scram! Jiang Yi's brows turned cold, he did not want to get entangled with the two of them, so he immediately activated Sun Moon Divine Cauldron, causing the air to tremble.

Bang!

First was the flying sword, which instantly collapsed. Then, the pair of gloves on Mu Jingtang's hands shattered into pieces with a jolt of Sun Moon Divine Cauldron.

The two of them spat out blood and retreated, unable to resist the divine might of the Sun Moon Divine Cauldron.

However, Jiang Yi did not continue attacking. Once again, he grabbed the Sun Moon Divine Cauldron, stepped on the snow and ran frantically down the mountain.

And among the Sun Moon Divine Cauldron, the dragon-shaped jade pendant, the top quality Spirit Stone had dimmed even further.

It was not that he did not want to kill the two, but he was afraid of Lei Tianxiang.

Right now, escaping was more important. As for the two's lives, he would temporarily remember them.

Damn it! Chase after him!" Mu Jingtang's face was gloomy, he immediately flung away his broken gloves, without showing any signs of stopping, he continued to chase after Jiang Yi.

Shua shua shua!

Jiang Yi's speed was extremely fast, coupled with the fact that he was going down the mountain, his speed became even faster. With the cold wind whistling by his ears, he stepped on the exposed rocks non-stop, causing snow to fly everywhere.

As for Mu Jingtang, he followed closely behind.

Not long after, the two of them arrived under the Jade Dragon Peak.

Jiang Yi continued to rush forward and ignored Mu Jingtang's chase. However, the glint in his eyes became colder and colder, and he thought to himself that he would kill Mu Jingtang when he reached a safe place.

However, right at this moment, a burly and burly body suddenly scurried out from the forest. Then, an enormous fist was thrown at his head.

This fist, surrounded by zhenqi, was like an iron fist, exuding a fearsome aura. With a sudden attack, it was swift to the point that it was unparalleled. If it were to land on a person's head, they would die without a doubt.

Draconic Serpent Perfection!

Jiang Yi completely did not expect this change, but he counterattacked extremely quickly. In that moment of life and death, his body twisted like a dragon and snake, dipping downwards. Wisdom and strength converged together and he came up with an endless mystery, forcefully opening a path to life, dodging this iron fist.

Puff!

He landed sixty meters away and vomited a mouthful of blood. Focusing his gaze, the person who attacked him was actually the who oversaw the Li Zhou, the Marquis Weiwu who respected himself as a mercenary, Bai Yushan.

Marquis Weiwu, it's actually you? Jiang Yi was shocked.

That's me! Marquis Weiwu tidied up his clothes, his aura was strong and imposing, he was peerless and peerless in his generation, Hand over the Sun Moon Divine Cauldron and I will let you live.

Lei Tianxiang, Zhu Huangtian, these Great Ghost Priest s are unable to take away my Sun Moon Divine Cauldron, with just you? Jiang Yi said coldly, his eyes sweeping the area, and immediately seeing a few armoured generals coming over for their mission.

A total of five people, practically all of them were experts at the peak of Tri-flower Crown at the second step of rebirth, and one of them was even more powerful.

This person was actually at the Five Qi Origins realm of the third stage of the Rebirth Realm. He had opened two acupoints, and two of his vital energies were present. He was much stronger than He Xingzhou and Shadowless.

It was clear that Marquis Weiwu had brought out the most powerful people he had under him. They were waiting under the Jade Dragon Peak for him to fall into their trap.

CHAPTER 403 - SEMI-SAGE

Jiang Yi never thought that someone like the Marquis Weiwu, who worked extremely hard, would actually appear here and wait for him.

But when he thought about it, he immediately understood.

This time, the Marquis Weiwu came to the Nanyang City swaggering in the name of transport reward from the imperial government. After that, he used the Golden Cicada's method of shedding its shell and descended here secretly, coveting the 'Sun Moon Divine Cauldron'.

However, no matter how powerful he was, he wouldn't dare to steal food from the jaws of a tiger.

With Ghost Immortal Supreme Expert such as Zhu Huangtian, Great Ghost Priest and Lei Tianxiang around, he could only stay under the Jade Dragon Peak and wait for the right moment to make his move.

Marquis Weiwu, are you here to snatch the Sun Moon Divine Cauldron as well? Mu Jingtang caught up to the Marquis Weiwu and was shocked when he saw him.

Mu Jingtang, you have truly disappointed me. You are also a well-known figure in the Li Zhou, to think that you were not even able to take care of a small Middle Grade Great Mind Controller. You even need a woman to support you in such a miserable situation?

Marquis Weiwu looked at Mu Jingtang, completely disappointed.

Evidently, he had already found out about the news of Mu Jingtang being defeated and fled, and now, he was leading a large group of experts from the Mu Palace to come to the Jade Dragon Peak to kill Jiang Yi, but he still did not succeed. On the contrary, those experts were all killed by Jiang Yi, causing Jiang Yi to escape calmly in the end.

Both of them were famous figures in the Li Zhou, unrivaled in the world, peerlessly magnificent, and their reputations were widespread. They had interacted with each other countless times but unfortunately, none of them had managed to finish their laughter.

Marquis Weiwu wanted to capture Mu Jingtang and force him to reveal the whereabouts of the Absolute Divine Pill so that he could break through the shackles and transcend the mortal world.

Mu Jingtang, on the other hand, wanted to kill Marquis Weiwu so that the water of Li Zhou would become chaotic, and the more chaotic the situation, the better. Only then would the Mu Palace be able to find a chance to rise up from the chaos and establish a new order.

But until now, no one had succeeded.

Mu Jingtang was not Marquis Weiwu's opponent, but it would be very difficult for Marquis Weiwu to capture him.

At this moment, Mu Jingtang was repeatedly thwarted by Jiang Yi. He struck a wall and his self-confidence suffered a blow, his willpower sank, and without the Semi-spiritual Apparatus's Absolute Boxing Gloves, he was no longer able to contend against Marquis Weiwu.

However, the goal of Marquis Weiwu this time was to go after the Sun Moon Divine Cauldron, so he did not plan to make a move against Mu Jingtang.

No matter how precious the Absolute Divine Pellet was, it was far from being comparable to the Sun Moon Divine Cauldron.

As long as they obtained this supreme treasure, not only would they be able to transcend the mortal world, they would also be able to rise in ranks, and pursue the path of the Ancient Saint King Xi.

You … After Mu Jingtang heard this, his face flushed red.

However, he couldn't find any words to refute her. In a short while, he was at his wit's end.

Mu Jingtang, on Lei Tianxiang's account, quickly retreat. This place is no longer something you can reconcile with. The commander who was at the second stage of Five Qi Origins, walked up a few steps and shouted coldly.

You're courting death! Mu Jingtang was so angry that he could not tolerate it anymore. His body flickered, and he immediately pounced forward, punching out with his fist, taking out the《 Absolute Divine Fist》, aiming straight at the commander's head and striking him with it: Xia Xu, you even dare to hoot in front of me, a being the size of an ant? Do you think that once you open your heart acupoint, condense your Qi and hide, and break through to the two qi realms, you are invincible? Even if I am to fail, killing you will be as easy as taking a bag of trash.

This is bad!

Xia Xu immediately felt a strong killing intent. His face paled and he quickly gathered his true qi to defend himself.

Bang!

The punch landed on him, and he was immediately blown back ten zhang. The zhen qi inside his body shattered, and blood started to flow out of his mouth.

Kill! However, Mu Jingtang didn't stop, he continued to follow and kill him. He wanted to kill this thing that didn't know whether it was dead or alive in one go, to preserve his reputation and dignity.

Enough! But, just at this time, Marquis Weiwu took a step forward, fiercely landing in front of Mu Jingtang, without revealing any killing intent, he only shook the tiger body, and without releasing any True Qi, a terrifying force swept out.

Tap, tap, tap!

Mu Jingtang immediately retreated several steps, he spat out a mouthful of blood and shock waves appeared in his eyes, Marquis Weiwu, you … Your strength has actually reached such a level, could it be …"

That's right! I have already cultivated to the semi-sage realm, and am only half a step away from transcending the mortal realm to become a sage. " Marquis Weiwu said.

Half-Saint was the meaning of a half-Saint. This realm allowed one to transcend the mortal realm and master the essence, energy, soul, and soul, allowing one's body to open up the five major acupoints. According to the five elements, the body would undergo a massive transformation to become a saint body.

Once one broke through the Chaotic Sea of Qi in one's body and established the Spiritual Altar, that person would transcend the mortal world and become a saint.

Therefore, the peak of Five Qi Origins at the third step of Rebirth, was one step away from surpassing the mortal realm and becoming a saint. However, the distance between a semi-sage realm and surpassing the mortal realm was only half a step, this was the principle.

However, even this half step was incomparably dangerous.

Breaking through the Chaotic Sea of Energy and establishing the 'spiritual altar' was not a simple matter. If one was not careful, they would fall into an irreparable situation, a dead end for them.

There were countless semi-sage experts in the world, but very few were able to transcend the mortal world and become a sage.

As a result, countless people died.

In this short moment, everything seemed to be separated by half a step, and once one stepped out, it meant that the world was forever separated from the world.

Therefore, the reason why the Marquis Weiwu urgently wanted to obtain the Sun Moon Divine Cauldron was so that he could take half a step forward.

Master Hou has guarded the Li Zhou for so many years, and has put in a lot of effort and effort. This time, he has suppressed the West River Myriad Sects Alliance, and killed countless experts of the evil sects, and his achievements are great. Furthermore, Zhou Qingsha has broken through the Desolation Clan by himself, do you think that this contribution is solely for Zhou Qingsha?

Xia Xu sneered, Zhou Qingsha received a huge reward, and Master Hou's reward isn't any worse than hers. There's even a Holy Spirit Pill inside. Master Hou swallowed this pill and has already reached the semi-sage level.

Mu Jingtang, for Lei Tianxiang's sake, I will spare your life, this place no longer has anything to do with you, if you continue to make me your enemy, then the only road left for you is death.

Marquis Weiwu said in a domineering tone.

Damn it! Mu Jingtang's face turned gloomy, but with a thought, he actually turned and left.

That top grade Spirit Stone has not been used up, and can't even kill Jiang Yi now. Let Marquis Weiwu have a taste of its power, half a saint realm?

A sinister look appeared on his face, and in the blink of an eye, he disappeared without a trace.

The Holy Spirit Pellet was an expensive pill that was refined with Central Dynasty. Swallowing it would strengthen one's body for ten years. No wonder the Marquis Weiwu could cultivate to the Half Saint realm so quickly.

However, there was no such thing as the God King's secret on his body. As long as he could live through this, he would definitely surpass the semi-sage realm and enter the sage realm in one fell swoop.

Jiang Yi, you have nowhere to run to, hand over the Sun Moon Divine Cauldron!

Don't think that Zhou Qingsha will come and save you. She already has difficulty protecting herself now, as the Desolation Clan has gathered a hundred thousand strong army, wanting to avenge their Prince. Once they launch an attack, it will be like a storm sweeping by, and she won't be able to withstand it at all.

"Zhou Qingsha is dead for sure, the bestowal from the imperial government is just a joke.

If you don't hand over the Sun Moon Divine Cauldron, you're dead for sure.

When the high ranking officers and experts saw Mu Jingtang being forced to retreat, they became even more imposing, surrounding Jiang Yi in the middle and clamoring.

This scene was like a pack of wolves surrounding a lamb, determined to win.

However, Jiang Yi was not a wolf, but a fierce tiger, a lion.

If you dare to shout in front of me, die! Jiang Yi's eyes flashed with killing intent, his figure suddenly disappeared, and reappeared, he was right in front of a high-ranking officer.

Bang!

Without any room to dodge, the high-ranking officer was immediately struck and sent flying. He landed 200 feet away and turned into a pile of mud. Where would his life go?

This high-ranking officer had been the one who had raised the most ruckus. He had relied on his power and influence, but in the next instant, he had turned into a corpse.

How dare you! Marquis Weiwu reacted in an instant and immediately charged forward, attempting to stop Jiang Yi and save her subordinate.

However, he was still a step too late.

There was nothing he could do.

Since you want to die, I'll grant your wish! Marquis Weiwu looked at the corpse on the ground and immediately revealed a killing intent. A mountain-like aura surged from his body and his entire person became cold, bloody, murderous, and imposing …

In the Li Zhou, he was the military's god of war, an undefeatable legend.

At this moment, his murderous intent completely stirred, as if he wanted to kill Jiang Yi.

As an exceptional and formidable person, he was definitely not a kind person. He would not be the slightest bit sad for the death of his subordinates if he were to kill people like this.

However, these people were experts whom he had carefully raised and trained. They were loyal and trustworthy. It would be a waste if even one of them had died.

Most importantly, Jiang Yi killing someone in front of him, simply did not put him in her eyes at all.

Such people would usually die.

Kill!

There was not a single trace of true qi on his body. However, when his fist struck down, the strong wind whistled, causing one's face to feel pain. It was as if one had been scratched by a blade.

This was the terror of the semi-sage realm.

His physical body was no longer an ordinary body. Instead, it was a sacred body. His fleshly body had reached the level of a Saint. His strength was unfathomable.

At this moment, the Marquis Weiwu was like a huge ocean. A huge mountain was limitless, unreachable and immeasurably deep.

Jiang Yi, on the other hand, felt that he was incomparably small and weak;

At that moment, the huge fist had already landed in front of him and was about to be killed.

Sun Moon Divine Cauldron!

At the most critical moment, Jiang Yi once again activated his Sun Moon Divine Cauldron, blocking in front of him and smashing into it ruthlessly.

Clang!

The fist and the cauldron clashed, causing Marquis Weiwu to be blown away by a terrifying force, he directly broke through a few towering trees, and only stopped after he was 1000 feet away.

Puff!

He spat out a mouthful of blood.

CHAPTER 404 - GOLDEN BELL COVER IMMORTAL ART

Marquis Weiwu had already cultivated to the semi-sage realm, who knew how many times stronger he was than Mu Jingtang.

Jiang Yi immediately knew that he was not a match for the Marquis Weiwu. If he were to clash head on with the fist, he would probably be killed, and die miserably.

Therefore, without hesitation, he activated the Sun Moon Divine Cauldron and retaliated.

Marquis Weiwu was caught off guard and immediately flew into the air as he spat out a mouthful of blood.

Master Hou! Xia Xu and the others cried out in alarm.

Puff!

Marquis Weiwu spat out blood, but his eyes revealed a ray of light: Is that a Sun Moon Divine Cauldron? Very good, you are indeed powerful. You didn't disappoint me!

As he spoke, he jumped up and charged forward again.

The stronger the Sun Moon Divine Cauldron was, the more he was happy instead of panicking. This was because only by obtaining the Sun Moon Divine Cauldron would he be able to become a saint in one fell swoop.

Otherwise, all his efforts would have been in vain.

Marquis Weiwu, do you think that you can take away the Sun Moon Divine Cauldron just by waiting here? You are absolutely wrong. Not only will you not get your Sun Moon Divine Cauldron today, you will also lose your life because of this.

Jiang Yi said in a cold voice, and finally revealed his killing intent.

He immediately made up his mind to take this opportunity to kill Marquis Weiwu.

Back then, when Great Li Kingdom was destroyed, the Marquis Weiwu was also involved, leading a huge army and charging forward. It was unknown how many cities and rivers were broken through, or how many people from the Jiang Dynasty were killed, or to establish outstanding military merits for Central Dynasty, or to assist Huangfu Qingtian to ascend to the throne.

How could Jiang Yi forget about this hatred?

However, when he first saw Marquis Weiwu, he was stationed in the imperial government's main camp with experts everywhere. Furthermore, at that time, his strength was very weak and it was impossible for him to kill Marquis Weiwu.

The moment he made a move, he would be killed, and even Zhou Qingsha would not be able to save him.

Thus, he could only endure.

But now, the Marquis Weiwu had left his nest and arrived at Nanyang City, bringing a few of his trusted aides with him. This was the best time to kill him.

The most important thing was that Jiang Yi was no longer what he was like before. With the Sun Moon Divine Cauldron in his hands, how many people could block him?

Kill!

In that instant, his killing intent overflowed into the heavens, mixed with boundless hatred. He channeled his psychokinesis into the Sun Moon Divine Cauldron, once again activating the Sun Moon Divine Cauldron.

The light from the top quality Spirit Stone also dimmed a bit more.

Buzz buzz …

The Sun Moon Divine Cauldron seemed to have felt his will and immediately started trembling violently. It released a terrifying wave of power and flew up, flying towards the Marquis Weiwu to suppress him.

Everywhere they passed, rocks and plants exploded. The sky shook and the clouds changed color.

Swish!

Marquis Weiwu's face changed, but he did not panic. His body glided in the air, and after a hundred steps, he performed a movement technique.

This movement technique was called Cloud Piercing. It allowed one to leap, travel through the clouds, and glide hundreds of steps.

The reason why he used Cloud Piercing Zong was because he wanted to dodge the attack of the Sun Moon Divine Cauldron and kill Jiang Yi immediately.

As long as they could kill Jiang Yi, no matter how strong the Sun Moon Divine Cauldron was, it would be useless, and destroy itself.

He had been in the battlefield for a long time, and had been through countless life and death situations. He had a keen eye and a lot of experience.

However, the idea was good, but it was not easy to implement. This Sun Moon Divine Cauldron was controlled by Jiang Yi's psychokinesis, causing it to do as he pleased.

Wherever his figure flashed, the Sun Moon Divine Cauldron would arrive, forcing him to not even have the strength to retaliate. He would not be able to unleash any kind of attack.

In an instant, the Sun Moon Divine Cauldron landed above his head and suppressed down.

He had just witnessed the power of the Sun Moon Divine Cauldron and he knew that this was no small matter, much more powerful than before. He did not dare to be careless, and with a wave of his hands, the true energy within his body finally swept out, surrounding his body and continuously rising up, suddenly forming a layer of strong defense.

Clang!

The Sun Moon Divine Cauldron suddenly smashed into it, producing a deafening sound. A layer of sound waves could almost be seen with the naked eye. The sound waves swept out, causing countless large rocks in the distance to be shaken to the point that they cracked open.

In the midst of the thunderous noise, Xia Xu and the rest were thrown back, their bodies swaying from the impact. Even their Zhen Qi protection had been severely damaged.

Fortunately, they were all experts. If they were Martial Dao Grandmaster s, they would have been directly killed by the shockwaves. Even if they were experts who had been born with First Step Inate Stage, they would still be severely injured from the shockwaves.

Unless it was an abnormal person like Jiang Yi, who had reached such a level of power.

An invisible attack was the most lethal.

What? This is … But suddenly, Jiang Yi's face changed, and instantly discovered something unbelievable.

The Sun Moon Divine Cauldron was actually blocked by the Marquis Weiwu!

Marquis Weiwu was completely unharmed, even under such a powerful attack, he was not harmed in the slightest.

The true energy within his body revolved around his body and actually turned into a huge bell, enveloping him and protecting him within it.

This large true qi bell sparkled with a faint golden light.

Golden Bell Cover's Immortal Deity Technique! Jiang Yi slowly spat out these words.

He immediately guessed that this was the Marquis Weiwu's unique skill, the power that he held in his Li Zhou. The《 Golden Bell Cover's Immortal Art》, the peerless unique skill that was above the rest of the world, it was hard for him to meet his match.

Jiang Yi had long heard of them.

He knew that this < Golden Bell Cover > cultivation technique was very strong and powerful, but he had never thought that it would be able to withstand the power of the Sun Moon Divine Cauldron.

This was too unbelievable.

How could a martial arts expert reach this level of strength?

Jiang Yi, I know you have a top quality Spirit Stone that can channel the powerful energy of the Sun Moon Divine Cauldron, but it's a pity that it has not become a Spirit Treasure yet. Even if you can obtain the energy of a top quality Spirit Stone, it would be a waste of your effort, you can kill an expert of Mu Jingtang's level, but it is absolutely impossible for you to kill me.

Marquis Weiwu said loudly: "I have already cultivated to the semi-sage realm, my martial arts has advanced by leaps and bounds, and the Sun Moon Divine Cauldron is unable to break through my《 Golden Bell Cover's Immortal Art》.

Evidently, he had already found out about the matter regarding the Jade Dragon Peak.

He knew that the reason why Jiang Yi could unleash such a strong power like the Sun Moon Divine Cauldron was entirely because of a piece of top quality Spirit Stone.

This Spirit Stone was his last thing he could rely on.

As long as he could withstand this wave of attack, Jiang Yi would definitely die.

Is that so? However, Jiang Yi did not believe that the Sun Moon Divine Cauldron could even break the body of a powerful Ghost Immortal Supreme Expert like Lei Tianxiang. Could it be that it was still not able to break the Marquis Weiwu's Innate Qi?

If this《 Golden Bell Cover》 was that powerful, wouldn't Marquis Weiwu be invincible? Was there even a need to hide under the Jade Dragon Peak and wait for others?

He immediately thought of the key point. Combining all of the factors before and after, he was immediately able to conclude that the Marquis Weiwu was just bluffing, giving him a strong and unrivalled image, striking at his confidence.

If it was an ordinary person, they would have probably lost their confidence and been replaced by fear.

But Jiang Yi's mind was extremely strong, and he could not possibly be scared, and he had never doubted the power of the Sun Moon Divine Cauldron.

Marquis Weiwu, let's see if your《 Golden Bell Cover》 is powerful or my Sun Moon Divine Cauldron is strong! He thought about this point, and the corner of his mouth immediately revealed a sneer, he once again activated Sun Moon Divine Cauldron, and fiercely suppressed it.

Clang! Clang! Clang!

The Sun Moon Divine Cauldron fiercely rammed into the golden bell made of Zhen Qi, immediately producing bursts of sparks and metal clashing sounds. The sound spread far out into the sky.

Even the Great Ghost Priest and Lei Tianxiang, who were engaged in an intense battle in the sky, were momentarily stunned. They swept their psychokinesis over to investigate what had happened.

However, the battle at Ghost Immortal Supreme Expert was extremely dangerous and one could not afford to be distracted even a little, otherwise, the opponent would have the chance to kill him in one fell swoop.

Especially for the Great Ghost Priest, this time, the Origin Spirit had exposed itself. If he was killed, it would mean his death, so even if Jiang Yi escaped, he would have no scruples.

But the main thing was that he did not place Jiang Yi in his eyes. As long as he killed Lei Tianxiang, no matter how far Jiang Yi escaped, his Origin Spirit would be able to catch up quickly.

As the Sun Moon Divine Cauldron attacked ferociously, the light emitted from the Dragon Jade Pendant became dimmer and dimmer. It consumed a lot of spirit energy and gradually turned gray.

Jiang Yi, how much spiritual qi is left in that top quality Spirit Stone? The more you attack, the faster your death will occur. The Marquis Weiwu shouted with an ear-piercing voice that struck right at Jiang Yi's mind.

But Jiang Yi did not move, his will was as firm as a rock, unshakable. He instantly channeled his psychokinesis, true energy, and all of them into the Sun Moon Divine Cauldron.

Sun Moon Divine Cauldron! Immediately, a bright light shone as the power in his body increased explosively, causing him to tremble once more.

Ka-cha! *

A crack suddenly appeared on the true energy golden bell. Next, the crack extended and engulfed the entire golden bell. Then, with a bang, it shattered.

In the end, Jiang Yi had guessed correctly, breaking open Marquis Weiwu's《 Golden Bell Cover Art》.

Puff!

Marquis Weiwu spat out blood and retreated, his face was pale white, but his body had already turned into a sacred body, becoming extremely powerful, to the point where he could withstand the power.

Otherwise, if he had broken through the Golden Bell Cover, how could he still be alive?

Master Hou!

When Xia Xu and the rest saw this, their expressions changed greatly. They immediately let out earth-shattering shouts of slaughter as they rushed towards Jiang Yi, as if they wanted to lend the Marquis Weiwu a helping hand.

Bang

However, the Sun Moon Divine Cauldron shook and instantly sent all of them flying. Blood spurted out of their mouths and one of the high-ranking officers even exploded, turning into a rain of blood that sputtered out into the sky.

CHAPTER 405 - BOUNDARY SEALING TABLET

Of the five great warriors, two were already dead, and three were left. However, they were also severely injured and didn't have much fighting strength left.

Even an expert like Xia Xu was pale-faced, his zhen qi broken and blood flowing from his wounds. He was in a sorry state.

The Marquis Weiwu had already cultivated to the level of the Sacred Body, so they could barely withstand the power of the Sun Moon Divine Cauldron. It was already a blessing to be able to survive.

Kill!

Jiang Yi immediately pushed them away, and no longer cared about their lives, but filled with killing intent. He looked at Marquis Weiwu, and in a moment, the 'Sun Moon Divine Cauldron' suppressed their killing intent.

Damn it! I never thought that you would have such a powerful spirit and not be fooled by other people. Cultivating martial intents with you is indeed extraordinary, it seems that if I don't use some powerful methods, you will really turn the tables on me and throw me into your hands!

When the Marquis Weiwu saw the Sun Moon Divine Cauldron suppressing them, he suddenly calmed down. With a loud roar, his tiger body shook, and his True Qi once again rose from his head.

However, this time, he wasn't using the Golden Bell Cover technique. Instead, he was shooting out a stone tablet from his true qi like a cloud of smoke.

At first, this stone tablet was only the size of a palm, but suddenly, it melted upon contact with the wind, becoming hundreds of times larger, turning into a massive stone tablet. This stone tablet was at first the size of a palm, but suddenly, it expanded upon contact with the wind, becoming hundreds of times larger, becoming a massive stone tablet.

There were also many twisted symbols on it. It was impossible to tell where they came from. They were very profound and gave off an ancient feeling. It was difficult to guess.

As the stone stele grew larger, the magical symbols flickered and then began to circulate.

And in the center of the stone monument were three big words carved on it, Forever suppressing the mountains and rivers.

BOOM!

The stone tablet flew up from Marquis Weiwu's body, and the moment it grew larger, it collided with the Sun Moon Divine Cauldron, causing an earth-shattering sound. The wind and clouds tumbled, causing the entire world to feel like it was collapsing.

The moment the stone tablet collided with the sun and moon, a terrifying suppressive power was actually transmitted from within. This power was boundless and could suppress mountains and rivers, the vast sea, the sun and moon, and the heaven and earth!

The Sun Moon Divine Cauldron was sent flying in an instant, and was actually not a match for it.

On top of that top quality Spirit Stone, cracks immediately appeared. It became extremely gray, as if it would collapse if it were to circulate once more.

Puff!

Jiang Yi immediately followed the Sun Moon Divine Cauldron and flew backwards. Fresh blood sprayed out from his eyes, nose, ears and mouth.

This time, it wasn't only his physical body that was injured, but his soul as well.

His soul also suffered an intense suppression. His mind sea of consciousness was in turmoil. If it was an ordinary Middle Grade Great Mind Controller, they would have all perished under this pressure.

Fortunately, he had cultivated the Extreme Yin Lunar Glow Spell. His heart was like a bright moon, his mind was like gentle water, and his soul had transformed into an infant. He was incomparably strong, so he was able to withstand such a terrifying attack.

However, it was as if he couldn't feel the pain. He stared at the stone tablet and spat out two words with difficulty: Boundary Sealing Tablet.

It was rumored that when the First Emperor used his Huangfu Divine Art to create his Central Dynasty, he made a name for himself, killed off the elites, and gathered the weapons of the entire world. He created twelve Boundary Sealing Tablet and placed them on all sides of the border, suppressing the mountains and rivers forever.

Those weapons were mostly divine weapons left behind from the ancient 3000 kings. They contained a peerless might and were no small matter. Anyone who obtained one of these weapons would rise to prominence because of this.

However, all of them were thrown into the Primeval Heavenly Cauldron by the Divine Emperor, melting and turning back into a Boundary Sealing Tablet.

Although it was called Boundary Sealing Tablet, it was not made from stone, but from Divine Iron.

Furthermore, every single Boundary Sealing Tablet was an incomparably powerful spirit artifact.

Jiang Yi, what do you think I have to rely on to guard the Li Zhou for so long? Just relying on martial arts? Military? Power? Not really! I rely on this Boundary Sealing Tablet.

Marquis Weiwu had completely revealed his trump card, which was as majestic as the heavens, and revealed his domineering attitude, Do you know why there are only twelve Martial Lords in the Central Dynasty? It's because each of the twelve Martial Lords have a Boundary Sealing Tablet in their hands. This is the rule set down by the late emperor, which is to ensure that my Central Dynasty will be eternal and will not decline.

The Central Dynasty had twelve Martial Lords. This was something everyone in the world knew and everyone knew it.

These twelve Martial Lords were all in charge of guarding the borders against foreign enemies and wielding immense power.

However, even with such a powerful weapon, it was still impossible for him to contend against the Ghost Immortal Supreme Expert, or even an extraordinary expert. However, after so long, there had not been a single Martial Marquis that had been killed.

Take the Marquis Weiwu for example. Isn't it dangerous to guard Li Zhou? The rest of the Great Li Kingdom were all trying to take revenge on him. Who knew how many people wanted to take his life, there was definitely not a lack of Ghost Immortal Supreme Expert or a saint in the martial arts world, but he was still alive and well.

It was because he was in charge of a Boundary Sealing Tablet.

With the Boundary Sealing Tablet in his possession, anyone who wanted to kill him would have to seriously think about it.

This was something forged with the Primal Chaos Heavenly Cauldron, how bad could it be?

The Great Divine Emperor made a name for himself as he killed heroes and received the divine weapons of the world. He forged Boundary Sealing Tablet as he forever suppressed the mountains and rivers and established his Central Dynasty, becoming a legendary figure.

As for the Emperor Qing Tian, he wanted to collect all the absolute arts in the world and write the immortal masterpiece, Imperial Extreme Shocking Book, to conquer the world, unify the universe, and achieve the epic legend.

Both father and son were not simple people.

Jiang Yi, originally, Boundary Sealing Tablet could not be activated so easily. After one was activated, the other Boundary Sealing Tablet would also have a reaction, but you acted recklessly, delusional enough to try and kill me, forcing me to such a state. If I do not kill you, a remnant of my Great Li Kingdom, how can I explain to emperor?

Even the Marquis Weiwu did not expect that this trip would be so dangerous, to actually reach the point of using Boundary Sealing Tablet. It was truly a bit inconceivable, and it was hard to be confident.

Remember how long it took to use Boundary Sealing Tablet? A few years ago, I think.

He had originally thought that stealthily descending upon Fengning Town and seizing the Sun Moon Divine Cauldron would be an extremely easy task, and that it would be effortless.

It was a pity that he knew he was wrong after he came here. Just with the help of the Ghost Immortal Supreme Expert, he knew that things wouldn't be simple.

Jiang Yi, being able to die under the Boundary Sealing Tablet can also be considered your honor, it's already something to be proud of! Killing intent flashed in his eyes, and he instantly spat out a mouthful of Zhen Qi which entered the Boundary Sealing Tablet.

Swish!

In the blink of an eye, Boundary Sealing Tablet once again rose into the air, carrying a force that could suppress all living things, something that even ghosts and gods couldn't block.

In a short period of time, the situation had completely reversed. It could even be said that in a fight between experts, everything had changed in a blink of an eye. No one knew what would happen in the next moment.

However, a single spirit weapon was enough to reverse the situation and change the outcome.

With a spirit weapon in hand, the Marquis Weiwu was practically in an invincible position.

Could it be that I am still unable to escape this calamity and will die here? At this moment, Jiang Yi's mind started to sway uncontrollably.

No matter how powerful his mind was, when faced with death, he was still unable to remain calm.

Even for Ghost Immortal Supreme Expert like Zhu Huangtian, it was the same when the Spirit Body was killed.

Before, when he was in danger, he was also in danger of death. However, he had someone to rely on, so he didn't panic or feel afraid. He was calm and composed.

But now, he didn't have any more strength to rely on. He had used all of his powerful methods, thoroughly reaching the end of his rope. How could he resist the killing of a spirit artifact?

Jiang Yi is going to die!

In the sky, Great
