destiny eternal calamity

To the east of Qingyuan County lies Lishan County, a county characterized by towering mountains.

With his excellent aptitude and the speed boost of 20%, coupled with the perfected Wangxia Eight Steps, even the Divine Treasury cultivators behind him had a hard time catching up, and the Spirit Bridge cultivators were left far behind.

After being chased for so long, even a mud man has some temper. Seeing that the terrain of Lishan County was very suitable for an ambush, Li Wei led Shang Xueyan up a hill covered with shrubs.

Previously, when Li Wei was in the Qi Sea Realm, his strength exceeded one million jin.

Now that he has reached the Spirit Bridge Realm, his true energy has been enhanced by divine sense, resulting in an even more terrifying increase in physical strength. His strength has now exceeded 1.5 million jin.

Many cultivators of the Divine Treasury have not reached this level.

It's important to know that the Divine Treasury marks the second major increase in physical strength.

According to Zhao Yuqing, the next and final physical enhancement will be at the Eternal Tribulation Realm.

Li Wei put Shang Xueyan on the ground, then picked up a few palm-sized stones from the ground.

Before long, some cultivators from the Longevity Sect arrived.

It seems they also have some kind of tracking method.

Li Wei used his inner eye to lock onto his opponent and hurled the stone in his hand with all his might.

The stone instantly broke the sound barrier, and with a loud bang, it transformed into a fiery meteor in the air, flying towards the Longevity Sect cultivator.

The man was startled, but being a cultivator with the Divine Realm cultivation level, he managed to block the attack with his sword.

Li Wei had already thrown out the remaining stones and rushed down into the water himself.

Using the "Free and Unfettered Sword Technique" as an aid, his sprinting speed increased by another 20%, and then he thrust out with his sword.

The opponent was just parrying the flying stones when this sword strike was so fast that he had no time to dodge or defend.

Li Wei's sword pierced the opponent's right arm, and his true energy exploded, directly tearing apart a pile of flesh and blood.

Only then did the Divine Treasure cultivator realize that the person he was chasing was not an ordinary Spirit Bridge cultivator at all, and he begged for mercy, crying and pleading.

Li Wei sneered, his sword flashed like rain, and finally beheaded him with a single strike.

Compared to Spirit Bridge cultivators, Divine Treasure cultivators have a stronger divine sense, and their most prominent advantage lies in their physical strength.

However, Li Wei's physical body, tempered by ten perfected body-refining techniques and the Myriad Laws Returning to Nothingness Force, was already no less than that of an ordinary Divine Treasury cultivator.

In addition, his true qi volume increased to nearly two thousand units after breaking through to the Spirit Bridge. Even without considering martial arts realm and special effects of techniques, his overall strength is now stronger than most late-stage Divine Treasure cultivators.

That's why he had such a crushing defeat against this cultivator from the Divine Treasury.

Shang Xueyan looked up, her eyes sparkling with admiration.

She hadn't expected that her junior brother would not only cultivate quickly but also be so strong in combat.

She had just cast the "Reverse Meridian Divine Breath" on that Divine Treasure cultivator and was preparing to activate it, but unexpectedly, Li Wei directly crushed him.

Li Wei searched the body but found nothing useful, only three thousand taels of silver notes from Taiheng Money Shop.

After throwing the body into the bushes, Li Wei returned to the hill and waited quietly by Shang Xueyan's side.

Sure enough, after a while, another cultivator from the Divine Treasury Sect caught up with them.

After repeating this process, Li Wei killed a total of four Shenzang and five Lingqiao, and finally found 15,000 taels of silver notes and some loose silver.

There are also three other cultivation techniques.

There is a fifth-tier pure yang internal skill, a fifth-tier body-forging martial art called "Thunder God's Bone Forging", and a fourth-tier body-forging martial art called "Golden Bell Cover".

It's probably because the requirements for body tempering are very high for cultivators of the Divine Treasury that Li Wei was able to obtain these two cultivation techniques.

Without the slightest hesitation, Li Wei directly spent 6400 recharge points (already at an 80% discount) to acquire the "Golden Bell Shield" skill, and then spent another 10240 recharge points (already at an 80% discount) to upgrade it to its maximum level.

Then, the Perfected Realm of the Return to Nothingness Force was activated, perfectly absorbing the 'Golden Bell Shield'.

Although he appeared outwardly unchanged, Li Wei knew that his physical strength had increased to a new level.

I just found 18,000 taels of silver notes on the corpse. After learning the "Golden Bell Shield" technique, which I also obtained by killing someone, I still have a little over 1,000 taels left.

In less than an hour, they earned a month's profit from Juweixuan. It's true that murder and robbery are the fastest ways to make money.

Zuo Fenghan probably noticed the unusual situation on Li Wei's side and did not follow.

Li Wei thought for a moment. He didn't know if he could win against Granny Xiao. If he returned to the capital now, he might run into that protector of the Longevity Cult.

Therefore, it would be better to turn around and hunt down Zuo Fenghan instead.

This guy is too cunning; it's impossible not to kill him and keep me from sleeping or eating in peace.

Li Wei carried Shang Xueyan back the way they came.

As soon as he left Lishan County, he sensed a familiar aura.

Li Wei felt that if he could further enhance his perception, he could eliminate Xiao Mei.

Following Zuo Fenghan's scent, Li Wei chased south for half an hour.

The final stop was still within Qingyuan County, near the southern border.

At this moment, Shang Xueyan was lying on his back, her legs bent as he supported her.

Such intimate contact between two people inevitably creates some unique tactile sensations.

She was a little embarrassed, but since she was acting, she had to go all the way.

Anyway, even if she doesn't become a Daoist partner with Li Wei, this quasi-holy son, she won't marry anyone else in this lifetime, so it doesn't matter if her innocence is ruined by him.

Li Wei stopped and observed the situation in front of him.

What comes into view is a quaint, old-fashioned town with small bridges, flowing water, and picturesque scenery.

He carried Shang Xueyan on his back and slowly approached the inn with the deepest aura.

Suddenly, a figure flew down from the upper floor of the inn.

Li Wei remained completely calm. With his keen insight, he could see through all of Zuo Fenghan's actions.

Unlike the "Free and Easy Sword Technique," which focuses on sword moves, the Mind's Eye Sword has no moves; it consists of only one sword strike.

"Hold on tight, senior sister!"

Li Wei released his hands from Shang Xueyan's legs, stomped his foot, and the bluestone floor of the ancient town shattered.

He jumped up with Shang Xueyan, reaching a height equivalent to three stories.

This was not difficult for him; rather, he jumped so high because that was all that was needed.

In his mind, Zuo Fenghan had failed to achieve his goal with a single move, revealing three weaknesses in his body.

Li Wei fell from a high place, and the Qi mechanism locked the left side of the cold.

Alarm bells rang in Zuo Fenghan's mind as he tried to dodge the sword, but as soon as he got up, he realized that he had exposed his weakness to Li Wei.

If a flaw could be eliminated so easily, it wouldn't be a flaw.

Li Wei's sword emitted a surge of colorless true energy, piercing through Zuo Fenghan's chest, before he kicked out.

Zuo Fenghan was kicked and slid a distance on the ground, leaving a long trail of blood, while Li Wei used the reaction force to land calmly.

"No! Senior brother!"

Du Qianqian's voice came from above, sounding distressed and panicked.

"Please, please, spare my junior sister..."

Upon hearing this, Li Wei was slightly taken aback. Wasn't he a demon?

Knowing that the vitality of a demon cannot be fathomed by common sense, Li Wei stepped forward and used the pulse-taking technique to intercept the opponent's true energy and blood, preventing him from recovering from his injuries.

"Are you human or a demon?"

Shang Xueyan was wrapping her arms around Li Wei's neck, pretending to be weak and helpless. Upon hearing this, she also looked at Zuo Fenghan with curiosity.
