However, after the initial shock, Chen Luoyang quickly realized who the other party was.
Compared to Wei Zheng, the middle-aged man at the peak of the mountain was more like Wei Ling. He was as deep as the sea, and his sharpness had been completely hidden.
Returning back to its original state, it was calm and relaxed, but it gave people a strong sense of existence, as if it was the center of this world.
The spear tip that was like a pillar that held up the sky stopped the changing winds and clouds.
He was not angry, but he was awe-inspiring. His facial features were similar to the Wei brothers, which also showed his identity.
He was one of the top experts under the Eastern Zhou Empire’s Empress, the Dingyuan General Wei Chaoran, who was at the peak of the 18th level Martial Saint.
The Wei Clan and their family heirloom, the Dragon-Tiger Seven Saint Spear, had their first major qualitative change in his hands, laying the foundation for their rise.
Leng Ji was previously a veteran general in the West Qin army. He might not know much about others, but he was very familiar with the experts in the East Zhou and South Chu armies.
Therefore, he recognized Wei Chaoran at first glance.
It was also because they were familiar with each other and knew the difference between them that Leng Ji’s heart was unprecedentedly heavy.
Wei Chaoran looked at Leng Ji calmly. He did not ask about the West Qin Great Emperor Li Ce’s information and simply said, “”Leng Ji, Western Qin has let down a talent like you. Why don’t you follow me back to Great Zhou? If you cultivate successfully in the other dynasty, you can make a comeback and seek justice for yourself.”
The people from West Qin who were chasing after Leng Ji, as well as Han Mei who had escaped with Leng Ji, were also shocked when they saw Wei Chaoran.
Han Mei didn’t recognize Wei Chaoran, but she was surprised by his deep cultivation.
The West Qin people could recognize Wei Chaoran just like Leng Ji. To them, they could only be shocked at this moment.
However, before they could speak or turn around to escape, the wind and clouds in the world suddenly changed.
Wei Chaoran stood there quietly without raising his hands or feet. However, the wind and clouds gathered in the air and condensed into spears that rained down!
Other than Leng Ji, all the other West Qin warriors were pierced by this invisible spear!
No more, no less, one for each person.
The West Qin warriors wanted to block, but no matter how they used their ultimate skills, it was futile. They could not block the invisible spear at all.
The spearhead pierced through their bodies and did not disperse. It was like a real divine weapon that nailed all of them to the ground.
Only Leng Ji and Han Mei survived.
Wei Chaoran’s expression was calm and unperturbed.
He glanced at Han Mei first. ” The Great Zhou is recruiting talents. Why don’t the three of you consider it? ”
As he spoke, he glanced at Daoist Banhai’s hiding place from the corner of his eye.
Chen Luoyang wasn’t surprised that Wei Chaoran was able to discover Daoist
Banhai.
After all, Daoist Banhai’s clone was not as strong as his original body.
However, the question he was interested in was whether Han Mei’s ability to attract bad luck would work on Wei Chaoran.
Unlike the Sixteenth Realm Unpeaceful Demon Monk, the gap between the Eighteenth Realm Wei Chaoran and Han Mei was huge.
At this moment, Han Mei’s heart was also in a mess.
However, she remained calm and did not act rashly. Instead, she observed Leng Ji’s side first.
Although Wei Chaoran didn’t know who the third person was, it was obvious that the most important person among the three was Leng Ji.
“Senior Wei’s good intentions, this junior is grateful.”
The high-spirited young man calmly looked at Wei Chaoran, the Dingyuan General of the Eastern Zhou Dynasty.
Chen Luoyang and Han Mei didn’t need to listen to the second half of his sentence. They could roughly guess the attitude of this young man just by listening to the way he addressed Wei Chaoran.
If he really wanted to join Eastern Zhou, he would have called Wei Chaoran “General Wei” , “Commander Wei” ,”Great General”, or Wei Chaoran’s title in Eastern Zhou, Duke Ding Yuan.
Calling him “Senior Wei” had already made his attitude clear.
Wei Chaoran looked at Leng Ji quietly.
Leng Ji said, ” I am indeed dissatisfied with the Qin Emperor, Li Ce, and am making things difficult for the Western Qin Royal Family. However, the Royal Family is the Royal Family, and the Great Qin is the Great Qin. I am a Qin citizen. I was, am, and will always be. I will never join the Eastern Zhou Dynasty. I can only appreciate your kindness.
“I admire your plot, but I also lament your stupidity.” “You don’t have the chance to reject me.” Wei Chaoran was not angry.
The difference in cultivation was too great, so he was confident that he could capture Leng Ji alive.
Leng Ji took a deep breath and said nothing more. He held the hilt of his saber with both hands and looked at Wei Chaoran calmly.
Wei Chaoran still stood there without moving.
However, the clouds above his head rose and fell as the wind and clouds changed. The clouds turned into a huge hand that grabbed at Leng Ji.
Leng Ji slashed out with all his strength. The black saber Qi turned into a huge blade and hit the palm formed by the cloud Qi.
However, the seemingly gentle cloud was extremely hard at this moment.
The saber qi slashed forward, but it was like hitting a rock with an egg. It failed to hurt the giant hand and shattered on its own.
The giant palm formed by the clouds was neither fast nor slow, but it descended toward Leng Ji with an unstoppable momentum. It closed its five fingers and grabbed him in its palm.
Just as Leng Ji was about to be grabbed by the giant hand, an astonishing aura suddenly erupted from his body.
Countless black saber Qi shot out in all directions with his body as the center.
Each blade energy was stronger than Leng Ji’s full power blade.
The extremely overbearing and sharp saber Qi even pierced through the giant hand formed by the cutting clouds.
Leng Ji’s clothes were torn apart, revealing two majestic black dragon tattoos on his back. They were located on his left and right shoulder blades, one on each side. They were vivid and lifelike, as if they were about to fly up from his body.
A dragon’s roar sounded from Leng Ji’s body.
Seeing this, Wei Chaoran was not angry. Instead, his eyes lit up.
His expression was even more solemn than before. He stretched out a hand and grabbed at Leng Ji from afar.
The palm formed by the clouds became more solid, like a giant hand that covered the sky.
The numerous wounds on the giant hand that had been pierced by the thousands of saber Qi just now had all disappeared and were mended by the flowing cloud Qi.
The five fingers on his palm were like five extremely fierce spears. They swung and stabbed in circles. They were swift and fierce, but at the same time, they changed constantly. They displayed the mysteries of the Dragon-Tiger Seven Holy Spears to the fullest and cleverly resolved the saber Qi that suddenly burst out from Leng Ji’s body.
In order to achieve the goal of capturing Leng Ji alive without injuring him, Wei Chaoran took his time, patiently and skillfully suppressing Leng Ji’s resistance.
The hand formed by the cloud Qi opened its five fingers and disintegrated the
saber Qi. At the same time, it descended and grabbed Leng Ji in its palm.
From the two black dragon patterns on Leng Ji’s back, wisps of black gas kept gushing out. The aura became more and more violent, as if two real dragons were trapped in a cage. They felt threatened and wanted to rush out.
However, the speed at which the black gas gushed out was slow, and it was not as powerful as Wei Chaoran’s palm.
‘ Such a fierce and overbearing yet pure Dragon Emperor Heavenly Peak Saber Intent. In the entire Western Qin, no one else can compare to it. You are indeed related to him. ” “It’s a pity that your foundation is too shallow. It’s difficult for you to unleash its full power,” Wei Chaoran nodded.
Leng Ji’s face was pale and weak.
However, his expression was calm and fearless, revealing a hint of determination.
The Black Dragon Qi that was about to rush out of his body suddenly reversed and went back into his body.
Wei Chaoran frowned.
Han Mei and Daoist Banhai were also stunned when they saw this.
The reversed black dragon energy seemed to want to eat Leng Ji from the inside.
Such an action was no different from suicide.
Wei Chaoran’s large hand formed from cloud energy completely grabbed Leng Ji’s body and held him in his palm.
Wisps of cloud energy seeped into Leng Ji’s pores, trying to control him.
However, outside Leng Ji’s body, the Black Dragon Qi could not gain the upper hand. Inside Leng Ji’s body, the situation was instantly reversed.
As soon as Wei Chaoran’s Qi entered Leng Ji’s body, it was shattered by the invisible blade formed by the Black Dragon Qi. It couldn’t stop the two black dragons at all.
He seemed to have captured Leng Ji, but as long as Leng Ji was determined, Wei Chaoran would only get a corpse.
They might not even get a corpse.
The Great General of the Eastern Zhou Guards frowned as he looked at Leng Ji.
Leng Ji’s expression was calm.
Daoist Banhai, who had transformed into Chen Luoyang, laughed silently when he saw this scene.
The young man from Western Qin seemed to be giving an answer to the seniors of Eastern Zhou.
I’m indeed not your match.
But I have the ability to reject you.
Under normal circumstances, a Martial Monarch Realm expert at the 15th level would not be a match for a Martial Monarch Realm expert at the 18th level. He would not even be able to decide whether he lived or died.
If the other party wanted to capture him alive, he wouldn’t even have the
chance to commit suicide.
However, for Leng Ji and Wei Chaoran, the common sense of the past was obviously not applicable at this moment.
Although Leng Ji hadn’t completely refined the two streams of Black Dragon Qi, they were still hidden in his body, which made Wei Chaoran feel troubled.
After all, it was formed from the power essence of the West Qin Great Emperor.
Chen Luoyang didn’t show any expression as he calmly looked at Wei Chaoran, Leng Ji, and Han Mei.
In the end, the two Black Dragon Qi couldn’t turn Leng Ji’s defeat into victory, and couldn’t help him escape from Wei Chaoran.
Victory and defeat were already decided. It was just a matter of whether the final outcome would change.
The frown on the Great General Wei’s face quickly relaxed.
He quietly looked at the young man in front of him.”Since you insist on seeking death, I’ll fulfill your wish.”
The giant palm formed by the cloud didn’t relax at all and held Leng Ji firmly in its palm.
As he closed his fingers, his power was overwhelming.
At this moment, there was no need for Leng Ji’s Black Dragon Qi to kill himself. Wei Chaoran’s power had brought him the shadow of death.
The Great General Ding Yuan of the Eastern Zhou Dynasty decided to give up on capturing Leng Ji alive and kill him directly.
“It’s a pity that we can’t leave anyone alive.” ” I hope you can keep the two Dragon Qi in your body, ” Wei Chaoran said slowly. ” There’s still hope to find Li Ce. ”
At the moment of life and death, Leng Ji’s expression was calm and determined. While resisting the external pressure brought by Wei Chaoran, he took the initiative to urge the two black dragons to eat him. Even if he died, he would strive not to leave anything valuable to the people of the Eastern Zhou Dynasty..
