Tainted will

'Have to kill them quickly, my initial layer spiritual essence storage is quite low compared to theirs peak stage core formation realm essence.' Li wei thought in her mind, there were thirty core formation realm expert's surrounding her, but she didn't panic in the least. This calmness originated from her strength!

She lifted six of her arms, pouring yin spiritual essence into the six icy tridents in her hands, strange patterns began to appear on the tridents surface, with a Swoosh sound all six tridents were thrown in different directions.

Bang!

With an explosive sound, all six of tridents suddenly self-detonated.

Steam and mist arose, and an intense chill started to crazily pervade the surroundings.

Great amounts of frost rushed towards them like the raging tides.

"Quick, retreat." the gang of core formation realm experts hurriedly retreated.

It would be very troublesome if they actually got frozen.

But few unlucky one's were caught up and frozen solid in the ice, like an insect in amber.

Originally the temperature in the cave was extremely hot due to the bone heart flame, but now that it was being refined by Li jun, it's effect on the surroundings was minimal. This allowed Li wei to fight without any disadvantages, once the tridents exploded it had become a world of ice. In the 400 meter radius of li wei, plants were all frozen and there was a thick layer of ice on the ground.

Li wie dashed towards the closest person who was frozen. Two meter long ice blades formed in her hands, with greater frost energy.

The person inside tried his best to use his spiritual essence to create a spiritual flame and burn the ice covering him, but his efforts showed pitiful results.

The other core formation experts hurriedly tried to save him, they shot out all kinds of attack at li Wei.

Their attacks were about to hit her, at the last moment two elephant sized ice palms materialized out of dense frost energy and shielded her from the barrage of fierce attacks.

Clank!

The voley of attacks and the icy palms collided, the spiritual attacks vanished and the icy palms broke into small fragments of ice.

By now Li wei was already in front of her target, she thrusted the sharp blade filled with frost energy into the person's heart, killing him instantly.

"Brother shu!" Seeing this seen, one of the elders grieved with sorrowful eyes.

"Damn it, we are losing people. We have to go all out now." someone spoke.

Li wei didn't stop, she targeted another person closest to her left.

The elders continued to send out long range attacks, but li wei was completely unharmed.

She continued with her attacks and killed another three people, only then did she stop.

The other elders had jointly used their spiritual flame to melt off the ice from the remaining two people who were frozen.

Li wei coldly snorted before swiftly making a hand sign, a three meter long crystal door popped up from the frozen ground. She made another hand sign and sent out a thick ray of yin essence to the blue door.

Once the spiritual energy was inserted, the door opened. Inside it was complete pitch black. Only endless darkness could be seen.

"Come" Li wei muttered as nearly hundred blue colored sparrows flew out from it, they hovered behind li wei in a uniformly order.

The elders looked on with vigilance in their eyes, one of the elders quickly sent a golden spear phantom at the door, breaking the door into pieces.

Li wei pointed her index finger to her front, the sparrows opened their mouths and repeatedly shot out pencil sized icicles, within few seconds thousands of icicles were shot out, the group of elders were able defend against it easily, but as time went on frost gradually started to cover their bodies. Their expression became even more solemn now.

"Brothers protect me i will use our Ye clans ultimate attack!" A old man with green eyebrows informed using his divine sense.

The old man quickly moved to the back of the group, and began preparing for his attack, for this attack he needed to focus for dozen of seconds, he would be vulnerable that this period of time.

Li wei continued to make hand signs, the frost energy surrounding her was getting colder every passing second.

At this moment the old man on the back, pointed his sword at the sky, he spoke loudly "Primeval sword art 5th layer!"

Darkness surrounded the surroundings, Hundred and eight firefly-like spots of light appeared in the sky, before forming into hundred and eight solid sword phantoms, each a meter long.

Pale green sword light burst out, it was a brilliant and dazzling sight!

The old man directed his sword at the sparrows, the sword phantoms moved like ghosts.

'Bam! Bam! Bam! Bam! Bam!'

The sword phantoms and the sparrows collided, resulting in multitude of explosions, it looked like hundreds of firecrackers were bursting at the same time.

While the explosions were happening, Li wei completed setting up her strongest move.

"Maidens tears" Li wei spoke softly, as two drops of tears fell from her eyes, she quickly jumped back and made another hand sign, two hands made of ice appeared and dug at the ground making a deep pit, she quickly jumped inside it and ordered the two hands to gaurd her teacher, while she was moving deeper into the ground and she made created another ice palm to shield her completely.

The tears fell on the ground and mixed together and entered the frozen ground, a sprout emerged from the ground and within few breaths of time it grew to the size of a tree, the tree had no leaves only a purple fruit, the purple fruit slowly began to take the shape of fist sized women.

The purple women snapped her jaws open and roared!

A ear piercing sound wave that shook the whole world came from the women's tiny mouth, even a demon beasts roar would pale in comparison. It was unimaginable how astonishing its power was.

The elders turned deathly pale, they were overwhelmed with shock and terror.

They had never dreamt that li wei would use a sound martial art, they tried their best to cover their ears with spiritual essence and their hands.

Unfortunately for them this attack was wasn't just formed from spiritual essence, it was also a soul attack. Even if their spiritual essence was able to protect them to a certain degree, but if their soul was lacking even a bit, it would directly shatter.

Most of the elders had already collapsed, they were bleeding dark blood from their seven orifices. All of them were dead. Only four managed to continue standing because of their shear will power.

But their hearts immediately sank, the purple women suddenly cried out again before disappearing.

The elders couldn't endure this, their mind went completely blank devoid of any thoughts as their bodies plopped to the ground, stiffly.

The battle was over, Li wei was the victor.

Li wei slowly emerged back on the ground, she carefully inspected the bodies lying on the floor, confirming all of them were truly dead.

"Finally over, sigh..i only have 10% of spiritual essence remaining now, I should quickly restore my strength. There maybe more enemies heading here, the martial arts standard here is very low compared to the mainland." Li wei slightly shook her delicate head and sat cross legged.

A change happened at this very instant, azure blue light suddenly shone on the surface of the ceiling of the cave, along with a 8 feet long blue pillar of light.

The dazzling light only lasted for a second before it disappeared revealing a figure of youth clad in deep green clothing, the figure fell down from the ceiling, he twisted and turned in mid air and barely managed to land on his feet.

The youth dressed in green quickly composed himself, he had long black hair, he looked around 15 years old, there was a sword on his waist. He looked at his surroundings with his blood red irises. This youth was none other than Bai Ming.

Li wei immediately turned vigilant, she immediately scanned Bai Ming using her divine sense.

"1st layer of core formation realm, sigh" Li wei let out breath of relief, then she focused her gaze on the formation above. Both her and Li jun were unaware of this formation.

"Who are you?" Li wei questioned, her delicate body emanating terrifying frosty aura.

Bai Ming was silent, but his heart was really tense and vigilant. His crimson pupils scanned his surroundings, Bai Ming's face quickly turned a shade darker.

Twenty minutes ago in the dark underground tunnel.

Bai Ming stood before a damaged formation, his eyes flickering with lights occasionally.

"Done, This is a 4th grade formation, precisely it's a transfer array, it's damaged pretty badly and cannot be used. Fixing it is not an issue, but my divine sense is really weak to operate this formation and even if I could, I am not sure where it will lead me and if the transfer array connected to this transfer array is not intact, the array will not work."

Transfer arrays have the ability to transfer people or goods from one transfer array to another transfer array. The individuals that arrived before Bai Ming had also noticed this transfer array, but they lacked the knowledge Bai Ming had, hence they pretty much ignored it.

"But.." Bai Ming took out spirit stones and beast cores from his storage bag and quickly began repairing the transfer array. Even though he could not use it currently, but it might prove to be useful for him later.

Bai Ming spent nearly twenty minutes reconstructing the transfer array, he was currently standing in the middle of the array as he cross checked it again, when suddenly the formation lit up.

Bai Ming's irises shrunk to pin sizes, his heart beating rapidly. He immediately tried to escape the formation, but he was too late. Not even a second had passed, Bai Ming had completely vanished without a trace.

Back to the present.

Bai Ming used his divine sense the moment he landed here, but with his peak elemental stage divine sense he was unable see through both Li wei and Li Jun's cultivation base, but the instant Bai Ming's gaze landed on the dozens of bodies lying on the floor his heart sank.

"I recognise many of them, they are all core formation realm elders of our clan. Then the remaining should be from the other two villages and all of them are dead too, I don't see the clan head." Bai Ming's sharp gaze landed on the Li wei "This women is emanating such cold yin energy, looking at the battlefield she must be the one responsible for their deaths, but from the aura she is releasing she is only a Initial stage core formation realm martial artist like me, yet she was able to defeat all of them, looks like I still have underestimated the cultivators from the mainland."

Bai Ming's gaze landed on the pill in Li wei's hand, he felt some joy internally, "It looks like the battle had just ended now, she must be running low on spiritual essence and was probably just about to recover, that means I still have a chance."

Next, Bai Ming glanced at Li jun carefully "This man, he is trying to refine that purple flame. It looks like that purple flame is an essence flame as for its age I am not sure, but that flame is connected to the earth vein, once he finishes refining it the entire mountain will collapse. Looking at the formation bellow him, it looks like in just three-four hours he will completely finish absorbing it, but refining elemental essence is a hard process, depending on the age of the elemental essence difficulty of the task increases, if my guess is right he cannot move during the period of refining, but of course this just an assumption."

"Still if I kill her, I might be able leave this place alive with some profit." Bai Ming once again shifted his attention on Li wei, his killing intent reaching the heavens.

Feeling Bai Ming's overwhelming killing intent, Li wei was slightly startled, she thought inwardly "His killing intent is really intense, even mine is lacking compared to his, still its quite far from teachers level but his killing intent unlike others is overwhelmingly evil."
