The first thing Wei Li wanted to do was to cover his tracks, ensuring no one knew about the utterly shameful and despicable things he had done previously.
It wasn't that he feared the people present, but rather that if that "stinking woman" found out, she would undoubtedly mock and humiliate him with that disgusted look.
So, he used illusionary techniques to alter his true appearance, then pushed Gu Junshi away from the battlefield and set up a protective formation for her.
All of this was done subconsciously, perhaps as compensation for his guilt, or maybe as a lingering effect from the brief acceleration of his heart from their earlier kiss. Regardless, his mind was in a turmoil, making him agitated and inclined to kill.
He realized he might have done something foolish.
However, he was always willful and self-centered, never admitting his own mistakes. If he made one, it was always someone else's fault. Since these unfilial disciples dared to oppose him, he would make them understand the disparity between them.
The demon fox flicked his arm, his sleeves billowing. Although he had changed his facial features, he sculpted a face that was equally beautiful; they demon foxes were never ugly.
Six Jiang Fusheng's eyes resembled black whirlpools, eerie and cold, or like gleaming white bones, carrying a resolve to kill this "adulterer." He spared no effort and immediately produced his "Immortal Sword."
Danyan harbored the same feelings at this moment.
He recalled his desperate efforts to please, his heartfelt devotion to Gu Yi for three years. She had never been overly intimate with him, yet now she hid such a flirtatious man in her room.
What could be tolerated could no longer be endured.
He was determined to make this "adulterer" bleed before her very eyes.
Ghost Infant, on the other hand, believed this man might have taken the opportunity to bully the Venerable Master, who was currently playing the role of a mortal. Enraged, he also prepared to strike down anyone who dared offend her.
Six Jiang Fusheng unfurled his sleeves, his flying sword spinning rapidly above his head. Amidst the biting wind, he unleashed "Eight Desolations Six Harmonies Art – Profound Star Sword Rain." Danyan summoned the Golden Bell Cauldron, using a spell to enlarge it and cover the sky, initiating a spiritual confinement barrier. Ghost Infant activated the "Giant Spirit Treasure Tome," opening his meridians and releasing a colossal spirit.
In an instant, within this small space confined by the barrier, wondrous colors and strange lights erupted. The killing intent compressed by spiritual energy turned into a gale, like a point on the verge of explosion.
But would Wei Li, at the peak of the Nascent Soul stage, fear them?
That's right, Wei Li was a naturally gifted Nine-Tailed Fox, born with the bloodline of an ancient ferocious beast. He was destined to become a Demon King. After resolving the hidden danger of bloodline backlash, his previously stagnant cultivation naturally advanced by leaps and bounds.
Therefore, the answer was naturally—no.
However, to avoid being recognized, he couldn't use the cultivation techniques of the Grand Evolution Sect's sect master. So, he simply exposed his demon cultivation strength. His demonic energy was crimson. With a flick of his fox claw, red light stretched into lines, forming a circular defense around him. Even when Six Jiang Fusheng launched his sword array at him, it was blocked.
The light sword turned into shattered fragments, but Six Jiang Fusheng's face was contorted with rage. At this moment, he only desired Wei Li's death. This obsession infused the Immortal Sword, causing its immortal energy to erupt, its sword cry piercing the surroundings. A terrifying power gathered, transforming into a sharp edge that directly broke Wei Li's demonic circle.
And successfully drew a bloody gash across his face.
This single gash stunned not only Wei Li but also surprised Gu Junshi.
Truly a rare feat, something only a protagonist like Long Aotian could accomplish.
A peak Golden Core cultivator making a cut on someone in the Nascent Soul stage, even if it was just a trivial external wound, was still a miracle.
Wei Li touched the blood trickling down his face, a grin spreading across his lips, the curve of his mouth widening, his eyes growing more dangerous.
"Very good, hahaha, you actually wounded me—"
Just then, Danyan also launched his attack. His hands moved in a blur, arranging a series of lethal talismans in rows around Wei Li.
"Explode!"
With a sharp, cold shout, the talismans transformed into spiritual explosions, bombarding the sky. The deafening sound was incessant, lingering long after.
At this moment, a giant palm behind Ghost Infant raised a transparent, thick palm and slammed it down fiercely within the blast radius—bang! The palm strike split and broke half of the cliff face, sending those beneath it tumbling down the ten-thousand-zhang abyss.
Dead?
Fallen into the abyss?
The three of them ceased their attacks and were about to move forward to observe when a red figure, accompanied by immense and terrifying demonic energy, flew up. The demonic energy surged from his body, revealing his demonic nature amplified by the power. His fox-like eyes were crimson, his features alluring. They were not pupils befitting a human, but vertical pupils, demonic and cold, like a supreme deity or demon descending.
"You are all finished? Then, next… it's my turn."
As his voice fell, the demonic energy filled the sky, proving this person was a powerful demon.
Danyan immediately readied his defenses, but Wei Li had already targeted him. A fox claw infused with demonic energy grabbed him and lifted him into the air. With a sideways glance, he similarly seized Ghost Infant. The Giant Spirit behind Ghost Infant tried to resist but was torn apart by Wei Li's demonic energy.
Ugh—
Danyan and Ghost Infant felt the pain of bones being crushed. In his hands, they were like two powerless toys.
This was his true strength.
Perhaps he was still holding back.
After all, compared to this behemoth, Six Jiang Fusheng, Danyan, and Ghost Infant were too green, so weak that he felt like he was bullying them.
... He was indeed bullying them.
"Is that all?"
Wei Li's two simple words questioned, the harm was not great, but the insult was immense.
The two were violently slammed onto the ground from a height. The hard ground cracked, dust billowed, and both coughed up blood from their throats.
As Wei Li turned his head, preparing to teach Six Jiang Fusheng a lesson in the same manner.
He heard a sinister voice from below, like a haunting spirit.
"Try touching him."
Wei Li froze but did not turn around.
Was this cold, clear voice Gu Yi or that stinking woman?
He could no longer tell.
He could no longer differentiate.
Due to his overconfidence and the resulting mistake, he was already confused.
His eyes flickered. Although he didn't believe he had done anything wrong, he had kissed another man's wife in front of someone with Heavenly Spiritual Roots, and now beating him up again did indeed make him feel somewhat guilty.
Forget it. Just as he was preparing to stop and calm himself, Six Jiang Fusheng had no intention of backing down.
The world seemed to fall silent. His eyes were chillingly sharp, and his desire to kill was equally intense. His feet frantically drew spiritual energy from the surroundings, slowly forming a formation. A powerful, oppressive sword energy enveloped a thousand-zhang radius—wΑp.kanshu伍.net
It was the "Severing Karma" technique…
He was actually going to unleash the Severing Karma Sword Art.
Gu Junshi frowned, her expression grave.
In his current weakened state, was he mad?
This power, originating from the profound mysteries of heaven and earth, made even Wei Li feel threatened.
Wei Li suddenly remembered that time in the Du Sheng Taoist Temple, the Heavenly Spiritual Root had used this move to repel that formidable flying zombie.
