At this moment, Li Tianqi intercepted the fleeing Cai Yongzhen.
Li Tianqi was a Formations Master, and Cai Yongzhen was also a Formations Master.
Once the array formations of the two were activated, only life and death remained within; only the winner would have the right to leave the array formation laid down by the other.
"Let me out!"
Cai Yongzhen, pale-faced, roared, "I swear, if you let me go, I will never have any involvement with Bi Shihu again in this life. Why must you fight me to the death?!!"
Cai Yongzhen was nowhere near as pedantic as Guan Mingxuan.
Bi Shihu's flight had also stripped Cai Yongzhen of his final shred of loyalty.
But who would have thought that even though he had clearly fled in the opposite direction, Li Tianqi still intercepted him.
Furthermore...
This man, Li Tianqi, was an out-and-out madman.
The Gate of Death, in a grand array, which others wouldn't dare to touch, he insisted on touching.
Even when injured, Li Tianqi showed no fear whatsoever; instead, he grew braver and stronger the more he fought.
He was dead set on killing him!
"You want to escape?" The tortoiseshell on Li Tianqi's body gradually spread across the entire Void Refinement Space, ensuring that Cai Yongzhen had nowhere to run.
"Don't even think about escaping, nobody from the Shadowfell Prefecture border pass will escape. You've been running for decades, aren't you tired?"
In a short period, Li Tianqi was already covered in scars, yet Cai Yongzhen looked terrified, while Li Tianqi's expression was ferocious.
[Your descendant, Li Tianqi, studied array formations under He Hao, the former Sect Master of the Eternal Immortal Sect, in the Thunder Fire Demon Cave.
Through He Hao's legacy, he gradually mastered Grade 4 array formations.]
[In the thirty-second year in Deston Prefecture, through the "Void-Soul Exchanging Dao Technique" yielded by Li Tianyi, he achieved False-Void Refinement.]
[Through the "Void-Breaking Pill," and with the help of Li Yunlin, the Skyveil Hall, and Old Cat, he spent ten years comprehending the Dao.
He gradually used He Hao's legacy, the "Talisman Array Golden Bamboo Slips," to engrave his Void Refinement Space with the Dao of the Earth-attribute "Tortoiseshell," becoming a Void Refinement expert.]
[Obtained Trait: Formation Dao Grandmaster. Can utilize Grade 4 array formations.
Due to his fearlessness of death and his daring to test the "Gate of Death" in the Array Dao, his comprehension of array formations is increased by 10%.]
[Obtained Void Refinement Space: Tortoiseshell Domain. Within this space, the defensive power of array formations is increased by 100%.]
[Obtained Void Refinement Spiritual Technique: Array With a Glance.
By infusing the tortoiseshell with his Divine Soul, he can instantly activate an array formation engraved within his Divine Soul.
For array formations of Grade 6 and below, an array can be formed with a single glance.]
[Over twenty years, through the Top-Grade "Holy Spirit Pill" and the Top-Grade "Six-Revolution Heavenly Rainbow Spirit-Gathering Pill," he gained a total of 1800 years of cultivation base, breaking through to the mid-stage of the Void Refinement realm.]
Looking at Li Tianqi—who was fighting a death match with Cai Yongzhen in his Void Refinement Space, speaking with his fists, looking nothing like an Array Master at all yet constantly activating array formations and chasing Cai Yongzhen to brawl—a myriad of thoughts raced through Li Wei's mind.
Even he hadn't expected that this kid—who used to be so good at courting death back then, whose bizarre traits like [Courting Death] had constantly caught Li Wei's eye and forced him to continuously use skills to save his life—would actually become the most defensive Array Master in the eyes of the world.
...
Pagoda Ge Li similarly attempted to flee.
He looked in despair at Li Yunbing and Li Xinnian blocking his path ahead.
Just like Cai Yongzhen, the moment Bi Shihu abandoned his soldiers and fled, he had already felt extreme regret.
The grand blueprint Bi Shihu had painted for them from beginning to end had always been a lie; it was just that they still believed in the invincible Marshal in their eyes.
"I was wrong, I was truly wrong! I shouldn't have served Bi Shihu!"
Ge Li pleaded bitterly, but the two men before him remained expressionless.
Greeting him were only Li Xinnian's Yun-Slaying Saber and Li Yunbing's Wu Slaughterer Sword.
Ge Li also possessed extraordinary strength, being the number one person in the three armies below Bi Shihu.
Yet, facing the Top-Grade Dharma Treasures in the hands of these two men and their Spiritual power, he was on the verge of dropping to his knees.
"When Bi Shihu attacked Highsun City, I objected!"
"I told him I wouldn't raise my hand to kill my compatriots, and I wouldn't associate with the Wu tribe. I am not like him..."
If Ge Li were pleading with anyone else in the Li Clan, facing such begging and remorse, someone might have actually felt a sense of compassion.
Unfortunately...
Li Yunbing and Li Xinnian exchanged a glance.
These two former Patriarchs of the Li Clan only had eyes full of cold indifference, not saying a single word.
Within the Void Refinement Space, long needles suddenly appeared like raindrops.
This was the Top-Grade Dharma Treasure "Hidden Void Needles" that Li Yunlin had gifted to Li Yunbing during the battle at the Mountain of Esoteric Stratagems all those years ago.
This top-tier hidden weapon was formless and traceless.
In an instant, they shot out from the void like a torrential downpour.
Li Xinnian also said nothing. He silently activated his bloodline.
The Dharma Image "Blood Spirit," formed from his ancient bloodline, surged with a sweet, fragrant blood Qi throughout its entire body as it blasted forward to kill.
[Your descendant, Li Xinnian, spent ten years comprehending the "Void-Breaking Pill" over the past thirty-two years to break through to the Void Refinement realm.
Through two types of spiritual pills that increase cultivation base, he spent twenty years acquiring the Spiritual power of heaven and earth, as well as blood Qi throughout his body, breaking through to the mid-stage of the Void Refinement realm!]
Li Xinnian's Blood Spirit Dharma Image was sufficiently powerful.
Inherently composed of blood and formed from the ancient bloodline granted by the "Primordial Blood Fruits," it possessed extremely strong regenerative abilities and Spiritual power.
However, under Li Wei's observation, he also saw Li Xinnian's shortcomings.
That was, this kid Li Xinnian possessed top-tier aptitude and comprehension, truly living up to his [Destined Villain] trait.
Yet, precisely because Li Xinnian was overly eager for quick success and cultivated secretly through devouring methods, he only possessed a profound cultivation base and Spiritual power but lacked strong combat experience.
He didn't even know any Spiritual techniques; he only knew how to use his Blood Spirit body to kill enemies.
And it wasn't just him; in truth, the same applied to Li Yunbing.
[Your descendant, Li Yunbing, broke through to the early stage of the Void Refinement realm through the "Void-Breaking Pill" and the guidance of Li Yunlin and the black cat.
Following Li Yunlin's teachings, he forged his Void Refinement Space using his Dharma Body "Thunder Hawk" and Dharma Body "Metal Thunder Roc."
Within his Void Refinement Space, he can increase the Spiritual power of his dual Metal and Thunder attributes by 20% and summon the Dharma Image "Metal Thunder Roc" to slay enemies.]
[Obtained Void Refinement Spiritual Technique: Ten-Directional Thunder.
Summons the thunder of the ten directions to slay enemies, possessing astonishing destructive power.]
[Spent ten years breaking through to Void Refinement, and twenty years utilizing two types of pills to gain 1800 years of cultivation base, breaking through to the mid-stage of the Void Refinement realm.]
Li Yunbing's aptitude was much worse than Li Xinnian's, and he had only barely reached the mid-stage of the Void Refinement realm.
His Void Refinement Space was even just an ordinary Void Refinement Space.
If Li Yunbing hadn't seized a body, he would definitely be much stronger than he is now; moreover, his years holding high positions and heavy authority had delayed his cultivation.
"The Primordial Blood Fruits will bear fruit soon. When the time comes, I'll give one to Yunbing."
Just as Li Wei's thoughts settled.
He saw the two Top-Grade Dharma Treasures and the top-tier hidden weapon "Hidden Void Needles" fall upon Ge Li without the slightest mercy.
Even with such heavy strikes, it still took Li Yunbing and Li Xinnian half a day, along with the help of a Void Refinement expert from Highsun City, to finally slay Ge Li within the Void Refinement Space.
Two days later, Li Tianqi, covered in scars, ended his battle for the clan.
Li Changyao pushed Li Changsheng, who sat in his wheelchair, and gathered with Li Yunbing and Li Xinnian.
Of Bi Shihu's subordinates—Ge Li, Guan Mingxuan, and Cai Yongzhen—only Guan Mingxuan still clung to his final breath.
As the group headed toward Bi Shihu's location, Guan Mingxuan, on the verge of death, let out only one last resentful roar.
Its tone was so mournful that it made Bi Shihu, who was in the midst of a fierce battle, freeze as if turned to stone.
"Bi Shihu! Our tiger-wolf army is waiting for you in the Netherworld. Even if we turn into vengeful ghosts, we will come to claim your life!!!"
