Chapter 134
When did Senior Brother Luo Ming reach the golden core realm? What kind of bullsh*t ranking is this? This is simply nonsense!
Li Ming simply ignored those rankings. His purpose for coming out today was very clear.
In the trading area, Fu Dong looked at Li Ming in surprise, but he quickly welcomed him warmly. "Brother Ming, what brings you here? Aren't you participating in the Sword -Testing Conference?" However, his triangular eyes could not hide his smile.
When Li Ming saw Fu Dong's face, he instantly grew furious and shouted angrily, "What? Is there a problem?"
"No, no, no!" Fu Dong waved his hand and said with a fawning expression, "Brother Ming, no one can compare to you. If you want for someone's legs to break, then their legs will break."
Box
"Alright, alright!" Fu Dong's words made Li Ming feel a little guilty. He then asked, "Are all of you done with the preparations?"
Fu Dong grinned as he took out a jade slip and stuffed it into Li Ming's hand. "Ever since your opponent appeared, I've been looking for him! These are all the records of An Yang's previous battles, and some of them had been collected through other means."
Li Ming's heart skipped a beat. He knew that the price he had to pay for such a small jade slip was definitely not small. An Yang was the enemy Li Ming was going to be facing soon. He had asked Fu Dong to help him investigate him.
Even though Senior Sister Li Fengying was also very hardworking, she usually just ran the shop. In this area, her connections were far inferior to someone like Fu Dong.
Li Ming stuffed a bag into Fu Dong's hand.
As soon as Fu Dong held the bag in his hand, he immediately understood the number of spirit crystals inside. However, he did not show any joy. Instead, he stared at Li Ming expressionlessly and said, "What is this?"
Li Ming shook his head. "This isn't for you. It's for you to use to gather information. I'll be depending on you for the information on my next opponent!"
Fu Dong's expression lit up, and he laughed loudly. "That's good. I've placed a big bet on you. I hope you won't let me lose all my money!"
"Oh, I hope I can win!" Li Ming shrugged.
The other party was a golden core cultivator. The difference between him and his opponent was huge. He honestly did not have much confidence.
He only wanted to do his best. He really could not resist the allure of basic formation jade slip from Kunlun.
His cultivation base was the lowest among those participating in this Sword -Testing Conference, so he was naturally not favored. That was why he was arranged to be in the first round.
If he lost the first battle, it would be a real humiliation! He would definitely not have a good ending once he got back!
Li Ming cursed the person who arranged this match countless times in his heart.
In the main hall.
Yang Li's face revealed a strange expression. "It's actually Little Ming who's going first."
Pei Xuan laughed lightly. "This must be the doing of the Departing Moon Sect.
They probably want Little Ming to lose face. I mean, it's understandable."
"Understandable your sister! How dare they make things difficult for my disciple? You're courting death! I haven't yet used my Myriad Flowers Hundred Poisons…
The other three elders were all at a loss. They hurriedly stopped Shi Fengrong, who was about to go crazy, and tried to persuade her to calm down.
"It's fine. Little Ming is very cunning. He's definitely not going to just let himself be played with like this," said Pei Xuan. "The main objective for him even participating this time is for him to gain experience. As for face, we don't really care about that."
Yang Li laughed at the side, Shi Fengrong angrily sat down, and Xu Shan's eyes flashed with a cold light.
Yang Li said, "Luo Ming actually entered the golden core realm so quickly. It seems that his battle with Little Ming benefited him greatly."
"Luo Ming's aptitude is not bad, but his past personality made it difficult for him to take a step forward." Pei Xuan nodded, but the joy in his voice was apparent.
Shi Fengrong's gaze swept the surroundings and suddenly frowned, "Where's Li Zhengxuan?"
At a patch of wasteland.
Li Zhengxuan was facing a man in white.
"Who exactly are you? Why did you come to my Divine Will Sect?" Li Zhengxuan said in a deep voice. He was ready to unsheate his Splitting Rainbow Sword at any moment.
He did not know where this person came from, but he had sneaked into the Divine Will Sect and was accidentally discovered by him.
The other party's cultivation was higher than his. He had just walked out of the sword formation. After a long battle, coupled with the breakthrough of the golden core realm, it was the time when his spiritual power was at its best and his spiritual sense was at its sharpest.
If it was under normal circumstances, he would definitely not be able to see through the other party's depth. However, the other party's strength shocked him greatly!
This chase lasted over 150 kilometers. He had nearly lost track of the other party several times.
What made him feel that something was wrong was that the other party did not seem to have used their full strength.
However, Li Zhengxuan was brave by nature. Although he knew the strength of the other party, he did not retreat at all. The fighting spirit in his eyes burned fiercely!
"I've long heard that when Young Master Li was in the foundation establishment realm, there was a phenomenon of heaven and earth. Now that I've met you, I must say that you live up to your fame. You seem to have gained a lot of benefits from this trip to the sword cave. Your sect's [Divine Will Sword] has finally come into being. It's really a great fortune."His voice was gentle, like a clear spring. Coupled with his handsome appearance, he was like a graceful young master, making it difficult for people to dislike him.
Li Zhengxuan was even more cautious. Other than his fellow disciples, no one knew that he had entered the sword cave, but this person seemed to know it all too well.
If he was not sure if this person had been acting with intention or not before, then now, he could be certain that this person was secretly investigating the sect's information with ulterior motives.
"Since you don't want to report your name, then I have nothing more to say to you." The Splitting Rainbow Sword appeared in his hand, and the tip of the sword instantly pointed at the white-robed man.
The white-robed man felt his vision turn black as if he plunged into the void.
It was empty and cold.
The white-robed young man's eyes flashed as he praised, "Young Master Li, you are truly talented. This [Divine Will Sword] will definitely shine in your hands!"
As he spoke, he slowly disappeared. The moment he said the word "hands," his figure had completely disappeared. Only his voice continued to echo in the air.
Li Zhengxuan could no longer hide the shock in his eyes!
Despite having been under the pressure of his sword intent, the other party actually managed to disappear without leaving a single trace behind! He pondered for a moment, then stepped on the Splitting Rainbow Sword and transformed into a long rainbow, rushing straight toward the Divine Will Sect When his figure disappeared on the horizon, a figure slowly reappeared.
"So?" He looked at the sky and pondered for a moment.
Sky Moon Residence was one of the best places in the entirety of Dongfu. It was located halfway up the mountain and was built along a spirit vein. It had a total of 47 cave abodes.
There were all kinds of common magical treasures here and the spiritual qi was abundant. The cultivators who came and went all liked to rest here. However, the price was not cheap either. It cost ten third-stage spirit crystals a day to stay here.
Although Li Ming had earned a lot of money now, if he were to live in Sky Moon Residence, the daily rent would make his heart bleed, not to mention its other services.
The rooms in the Sky Moon Residence, which was originally only at 50% capacity, were now overbooked. Because of this, the daily rent had even increased from 10 third-stage spirit crystals to 50 third-stage spirit crystals..
Chapter 135
Despite the massive increase in price, Sky Moon Residence was still at full capacity with experts from all over the Heavenly Origin Supercontinent staying in its rooms.
Sky Moon Residence mainly served high-quality goods. The spiritual food in the Sky Moon Residence was all bought from the Shao Clan.
The Starry Sky Pavilion was the gathering place of those staying in Sky Moon Residence. Its roof was inlaid with many stones and crystals, creating a scene resembling a sky filled with dazzling stars. There were green vines stretching between various rooms, filling the pavilion with a green luster that made it feel more peaceful.
"Brother An, you're really lucky!"
Everyone present was a cultivator participating in the competition. Everyone's eyes revealed envy. Everyone who was currently present fully believed that An Yang undoubtedly had the easiest match coming up.
Box
An Yang was delighted, but he said, "I actually envy all of you for being able to fight proper battles. With who my upcoming opponent is, I probably won't be able to benefit much from the battle.
He was born in the An Clan, and the cultivation technique he cultivated was the extremely obscure Raging Star Flaming Hammer. It was a powerful and exquisite technique.
"Brother An, don't say that." One of the cultivators laughed loudly. "Don't you know what some of us would give to trade places with Brother An? Reputation and whatnot are all fleeting, the rewards are the real thing."
Everyone in the room agreed.
An Yang begged for mercy and finally agreed to treat everyone to a meal. Only then did everyone leave him alone.
In a corner of the Starry Sky Pavilion, there was an alcove. In this alcove, two people were drinking.
If someone lifted the curtain, they would recognize the two of them at first glance. They were the two most likely winners of the Sword -Testing Conference. One was none other than He Fang, and sitting across him was a figure whose face was covered in a black veil.
"I originally wanted to find a quiet place, but we just had to come across such an ignorant fool." He Fang frowned slightly with a hint of helplessness and dissatisfaction on his face. He glanced at the black-veiled face of the person opposite him and said sincerely, "I did not expect to meet you here. I thought it would be three to five years before I had the chance to see you again."
There was a hint of passion in his voice. No one would have thought that this mysterious and powerful cultivator sitting across him was a female cultivator.
She stretched out her slender wrist and picked up the tea in front of her. She gently lifted a corner of the black veil, and her red lips gently touched the jade-like teacup. He Fanes gaze suddenly became extremely eager.
"Junior sister, are you not willing to let me properly see your face?"He Fang stared at the other party and said calmly, but he could not conceal the excitement in his voice.
"Senior brother, your heart is in a mess," said Su softly. The veil on her face did not waver at all. "If your heart is in a mess, what of the Heart Lake Sword?"
A trace of anger flashed in He Fang's eyes, but he did not flare up. Instead, he suddenly closed his eyes. After a while, he opened them again, and his gaze became extremely clear. "Junior sister is right. May I know what your plans are after the Sword-Testing Conference?"
"Refine my sword."
"Oh." Surprise flashed across He Fang's eyes. "Did you find the cold magnet you needed?"
Her calm voice trembled slightly. "Of course, I've cut it into four pieces."
"Congratulations then." He Fang could not help a slight anger rise within him. If his little junior sister were to go and refine her sword, she probably would not be able to come out for three to five years.
"If I remember correctly, if you want to forge a cold magnet into a sword, you will first need to forge it into a sword embryo. How about…'
"I've already found it." Su's voice returned to normal. "You don't have to worry about me."
At this moment, a burst of laughter came from An Yang's table.
"Sigh, we have to be prepared for the next few days!"
"That's right. Only Brother An can slack off."
"A mere foundation establishment realm cultivator, I'll look down on you if you don't manage to beat him in three moves."
"Why don't we make a bet?"
"Good idea, three moves then!"
"Then let's make a bet!"
"Alright, alright. Please be magnanimous and don't laugh at me." An Yang cupped his fists again. "I knew it. See, even if I win, I have nothing to gain." The crowd was once again in an uproar.
He Fang had been rejected by his little junior sister earlier, and he had been holding back his anger. Now that he heard these people chattering, he could no longer hold back his rage from erupting. Despite the flaming anger raging within him, his gaze turned ice cold.
He was young and full of vigor, and he was also doted on by others in the sect. When had anyone dared to be so rude to him? His face immediately darkened.
Just as he was about to stand up and teach these people a lesson, he realized that his little junior sister had already stood up.
What was she doing?
"I bet ten moves." She said to An Yang and the others.
Her voice was not loud, but it easily penetrated the gauze curtain. There was a seal formation on the veil to isolate her aura, but it was useless at this moment.
There was silence on the table. An Yang's expression became extremely unsightly.
"May I have the pleasure of knowing your name?" An Yang smiled and asked with cupped fists.
How could An Yang tolerate being slapped in front of his good friends? Because of the magical formation of the curtain, they could only vaguely see two figures and could not hear their voices.
"You don't need to care about who I am. Will you acknowledge my bet?" Su said indifferently.
He Fang was shocked. He knew very well how cold his little junior sister's personality was. She had never been interested in such things!
But now, she was actually betting on someone. This…
How is that person related to little junior sister? He Fang's eyes flickered as he pondered.
If he did not agree in front of everyone, An Yang would truly lose face.
An Yang was burning with rage, but his tone remained calm. "Since you want to make such a bet with me, then why would I have any reason to refuse. What would you like to wager?"
"Feel free to wager however much you would like." A calm voice replied from behind the curtain.
An Yang increasingly felt that the other party was mocking him. Suddenly, a sly smile surfaced on his face. He reached into his chest and brought out a medicinal bottle. He opened the bottle cap, and a strong medicinal fragrance, along with rich spiritual qi, immediately filled the room.
Everyone present grew excited. Those with some understanding of pill refinement even felt shocked.
"36 third-stage medicinal pills." The Blazing Flame Pill was a pill unique to the An Clan. It used an earth core as a material and was a famous pill on the Heavenly Origin Supercontinent.
Something flew out of the pavilion. An Yang looked at it and grabbed it.
"Third -Stage Moonlight Flaming Death."
The others present could not hold themselves back from abruptly standing up to confirm what An Yang just said. Their eyes immediately focused on the crystal bottle in An Yang's hand.
This crystal bottle was crystal clear and flawless. Just the crystal bottle alone was already worth a considerable amount.
Contained within the bottle was something merely the size of a fingernail, and it looked like mist.
Moonlight Flowing Death, legends had it that there would be a bright moon during the Mid-Autumn Festival every ten years. From this moon, Moonlight Flowing Death would be created. This was priceless!
This single bottle of Moonlight Flowing Death was much more precious than An Yang's Blazing Flame Pill..
Chapter 136
Tao Zhuer, Yan Mingzi, and Hu Shan strolled along the streets of Dongfu. They loved seeing bustling scenes, and across the entire Heavenly Origin Supercontinent, what could compare to the prosperity of Dongfu?
Hu Shan rubbed his fists and said excitedly, "This is great! The preliminary competition is finally over! Only the official competition is ever interesting!"
Tao Zhuer's beautiful eyes were filled with infatuation. "Yeah, He Fang is so handsome! I don't think there's any man as outstanding as him in the entire Heavenly Origin Supercontinent! I love him!"
Hu Shan cursed Tao Zhuer in his heart. He suddenly discovered that Yan Mingzi appeared unusually absent-minded.
"Old Yan, what's the matter?"
Box
Yan Mingzi replied cursorily and raised his head. Then, a smile appeared on his face, "I'm just thinking about how to earn spirit crystals!"
"Earn spirit crystals? Are you out of money? Do you need me to give you some?" asked Hu Shan. The three of them had fought side by side, so they had long since become good friends.
Yan Mingzi shook his head. "No, I just bought a new flying sword. Because of that, I don't have much left. There's no rush, though. I can just take things slow. If I really am in trouble, I'll tell you."
"Aiyo, you got a new flying sword? Hurry and bring it out for us to see." Tao Zhuer immediately became excited.
Yan Mingzi took out a blue flying sword and said indifferently, "This sword is called Deep Ocean. It's a third-stage magical treasure."
Hu Shan took it and shook his head. "This is incomparable to your previous Water Drop Sword."
"What are you saying?" Yan Mingzi rolled his eyes at Hu Shan. The three of them recalled their memories.
Tao Zhuer saw his expression and quickly changed the topic. "Hey, tell us what plans you've thought up to earn money." Even though Yan Mingzi's cultivation was ordinary, his ability to do business was the strongest among the three.
As expected, Yan Mingzi grew more lively when he heard her question. He immediately said excitedly, "The sword-testing conference, of course!" "Sword-testing conference? How?" Hu Shan asked curiously.
Yan Ming Zi patiently explained, "We naturally can't interfere with other businesses. However, if we have some spare money on hand, we can gamble."
Hu Shan immediately lost interest and said, "So it's just gambling, that isn't interesting at all!"
"Old Yan, don't mind him. Tell me everything in detail." Tao Zhuer said with interest.
Yan Ming Zi said excitedly, "Of course, it's not good to gamble, but this time's gambling is different from the previous ones."
"What do you mean?"
"This sword-testing conference, although luck does play a factor in it, the real competition still depends on strength. There are certain rules. A person's strength won't change much in a short period of time."
"In addition to the mutual promotion and suppression of magical arts and the advantages and disadvantages of magical treasures, although these factors can't be used to determine the outcome accurately, the general direction is still estimable."
"How would you know?" Hu Shan sneered. How could he know what other people's magical treasures were?"
Yan Mingzi nodded, "This is the key. It is not easy to determine someone's true strength, but it is possible to estimate their level of strength based on their fights with outsiders. As for magical treasures… I have some good eyes."
"That's right. Old Yan, you've got a good eye for magical treasures." On this point, Hu Shan was extremely impressed with Yan Mingzi.
"Hehe." Yan Mingzi had a proud expression, "There are all sorts of ways we can gamble. Just like betting on the battle between Li Ming and An Yang, which has been in the limelight lately."
"Needless to say, An Yang will definitely win!" Hu Shan was unconvinced. "No matter how strong Li Ming is, he's an entire cultivation realm below An Yang. How can he be a match for a mid-stage golden core realm expert?!"
"Yes, I am!" Yan Ming Zi echoed, but he swiftly changed the topic, "However, this is still the most popular match in terms of betting. And that is because everyone is focused on betting on how long Li Ming can last against An Yang." "There's such a thing?" Hu Shan opened his mouth wide.
"Hehe, the odds for those who bet he will lose in three moves is still quite normal," said Yan Ming Zi. "However, once it's past three moves, the odds start skyrocketing."
"You didn't bet on something like that, did you?" Hu Shan asked.
Yan Ming Zi said proudly, "I did. I bet on him lasting seven moves. The odds are
1 to 60."
"Do you really think that he can last seven moves against An Yang?" Hu Shan was surprised. "An Yang isn't some nobody. He's the strongest among the younger generation of the An family. Are you that confident in Li Ming's strength?"
Yan Mingzi said with some interest, "Then what do you think about An Yang going against Senior Brother Sha Ning?"
"Of course he'd lose!" Hu Shan did not even think twice before speaking confidently. "Senior Brother Sha Ning is very strong! Back then, he even defeated a golden core cultivator when he was at the foundation establishment realm."
"Ah!" When Yan Mingzi heard the last sentence, he was shocked, "Why haven't I heard of this before?"
"Very few people know about this." Hu Shan whispered unconsciously. "Senior Brother's sword was obtained by snatching treasures! This was also the reason why he was punished by the sect master to reflect on his mistakes." The other two were stunned.
"Great, I didn't waste my spirit crystals." The first thing that came to Yan Mingzi's mind was the spirit crystals in his hands. He chuckled, "Originally, this bet shouldn't have been so popular. The key is that someone placed a bet on An Yang, then bet a bottle of Moonlight Flowing Death and bet that Li Ming would last at least ten moves.'
"Moonlight Flowing Death!" Hu Shan was at a loss and muttered to himself, "What a prodigal child!"
The silent Tao Zhuer suddenly spoke, "What are the odds for Li Ming winning?"
"It seems to be 1 to 300." He looked at Tao Zhu Er in surprise. "Are you intending on betting on him? Winning that is simply impossible!"
"Why not?" Tao Zhuer said indifferently, "I'm just betting some spirit crystals for fun. Even Senior Brother Sha Ning managed to defeat someone at the golden core realm while being at the foundation establishment realm…'
Her words came to an abrupt halt, and her eyes focused. The two of them saw that she was silent and were puzzled. However, when they saw her confused expression, they also looked over and were instantly stunned.
A figure walked over.
Li Fengying looked at her junior brother and could not help but shake her head.
It did not matter if she arranged for her junior brother to be the first to compete. After all, the sect master's intention was to let her junior brother gain more experience. No one expected Li Ming to last that many moves against An Yang.
Suddenly, someone came out and threw out a bottle of Moonlight Flowing Death, betting that her junior brother would be able to withstand ten moves from An Yang. This immediately caused a huge uproar.
Wasn't everybody just using her junior brother as a means of entertainment?
During this period of time, her junior brother had been cooped up in his own small courtyard all day. It was unknown as to what he was up to.
She was extremely anxious.. Why isn't junior brother seizing the time to cultivate his sword technique? Even if he is cramming at the last minute, it would still be useful no matter how slow he is at cultivating!
Chapter 137
In the past few days, Shidi hadn't practiced much in his shop.
Did he think that he could win by relying on these miscellaneous low level formations?
Of course she wouldn't reject Shidi learning formations, but formations were mostly used for pill concoction and artifact refinement. In battle, they weren't very useful.
Under such circumstances, how could there be any formations left!
Li Zhengxuan stepped on the Splitting Rainbow Sword and descended towards Floating East like a rainbow.
Box
He returned to Divine Will Sect and reported the news of the man in white to the sect master before rushing towards East Floating.
If he was late, he would miss his junior brother's competition.
The moment he entered East Floating City, Li Zhengxuan was shocked by the bustling scene on the street.
He wasn't like Li Ming, who was excited about the sword-testing conference. Such an opportunity was hard to come by. Just thinking about it made one's blood boil.
He suddenly thought of Li Ming and smiled. A lazy person like him would definitely not be interested in the sword-testing conference.
Thinking about it, his junior brother was unwilling to participate, but under the instructions of the sect master, there was nothing he could do. He felt that it was funny.
Junior Brother's talent was not bad, but he was not interested in the way of the sword. It would be good if he could force him.
Li Zhengxuan was a very simple sword cultivator (). His understanding of the sword was also very deep.
In the beginning, Li Ming had been focused on the spiritual plant (), so he didn't think much of it. However, when Li Ming's talent in sword arts was displayed to the fullest, he was doing something else. Li Zheng Xuan couldn't help but feel pity in his heart.
Suddenly, a voice sounded in his ear.
"Can we make a bet?"
"Three rounds. A foundation establishment realm Building cultivator facing a golden core cultivator could only use three moves at most."
"Sigh, I really don't know what Divine Will Sect is thinking. They actually let a Foundation Establishment brat come here."
"That's right. I heard that he mainly focuses on alchemy. Why would he come here?"
"It's not certain who's the one who's embarrassed. How many people possessed the Moonlight Flowing Death? How could a person who possessed the Dying Flowing Moon not have good taste? In my opinion, this Li Ming definitely has some skills!"
"Strength? Hah! No matter how capable he was, he was only at foundation establishment realm!"
Li Zhengxuan's face was as black as the bottom of a pot. He resisted the urge to go up and beat up this group of people.
Along the way, he heard many such conversations.
He strode forward and arrived at the entrance of a casino.
"Hey, Young Master, do you want to try your luck? Recently, the most popular thing in East Floating City is the betting of a few moves. It's very interesting…" Just as Li Zhengxuan was about to speak, a voice suddenly sounded in his ear.
"Take out all your Spiritual Crystals."
Robbery? Li Zhengxuan was stunned and subconsciously turned his head away.
In front of him stood two men and a woman. The three of them seemed to be extremely wary of the round-faced man and respected him. Hearing this, the three of them immediately took out all the Spiritual Crystals.
"Bet on Li Ming."
"Senior Chang, this Li Ming…" Yan Ming Zi couldn't watch any longer.
"Hmm?" The round-faced man's gaze descended onto Yan Ming Zi. Yan Ming
Zi's heart trembled, and he wanted to say something but stopped. Hu Shan and Tao Zhu Er lowered their heads and stood obediently at the side, cursing Yan Ming Zi in their hearts.
Old Yan, you bastard, you're courting death. Don't drag us down with you!
Li Zhengxuan looked at the round-faced man in surprise. This was the first time he had heard of someone betting on his junior brother.
He took a look. The clothes these three people were wearing were all the symbols of Departing Moon Sect (De). Didn't they have a grudge against his junior brother?
Brother Chang, Li Zhengxuan seemed to understand something.
The shop assistant who was guarding the door had an expression as if he was looking at a fool. His gaze landed on the crystal in Yan Ming Zi's hand, and his saliva almost flowed out.
These people were really prodigals. Can't they give him these Spiritual Crystals?
Of course, he did not show it on the surface. Instead, he praised,""Your eyes are as sharp as torches!" But after a moment of hesitation, he asked again, "All on
Li Ming?""
"Bet," said the round-faced man.
The round-faced man took the bet and turned to leave. Yan Ming Zi and the others looked at each other and could only follow dejectedly.
"What a waste!" After the round-faced man left, the employees of the casino were like a tap that had opened the gate. They chattered to Lee Zhengxuan,"Look, aren't they all hot-blooded? So far, no one had bet on Li
Ming winning! Do you think you're joking? What a waste…"
As he spoke, he shook his head, his saliva splattering everywhere.
" Fifty pieces of Third Grade Spiritual Crystals." Li Zhengxuan handed the crystals over with a smile.
"Alright, how many moves do you want to bet? Look, these are the odds for each battle."
"I bet on Li Ming winning." Li Zhengxuan was still smiling.
The waiter was dumbfounded.
These few days, the bet between him and Li Ming had spread like wildfire in Eastern Floating, becoming the hottest topic in Eastern Floating. But to him, this was simply a form of mockery. How could he be compared to a newbie who had just entered the Foundation Establishment Stage?
What could a mere zhuji do? He did not believe it!
However, he was not a reckless person. Since that person could take out the Moonlight Flowing Death, it was definitely not a joke. However, when he went to investigate, he didn't know whether to laugh or cry.
It turned out that Li Ming was a xiuzhe who focused on pill dao.
Looking at An Yang's investigation of Li Ming, he knew that there was a spirit plant farmer, Golden Crow Pill, and refining services…
A mere zhuji xiuzhe wanted to last ten moves from him, what a joke! Thinking of this, An Yang could not help but clench his fists. If Li Ming could really take ten moves, then he would become the laughing stock of the sword-testing conference, no, the laughing stock of the Tian Yuan Continent!
When he was mentioned, no one dared to say that An Yang was the most outstanding disciple of the An Castle. Instead, they would say that An Yang couldn't even defeat a kid in the early foundation establishment realm!
He absolutely couldn't lose face!
It was absolutely impossible!
Two balls of fire danced in An Yang's eyes.
"What?" Li Ying Feng's face was blank. She saw Li Ming stuff a spirit crystal into her hand and was instantly shocked: "You want to bet on yourself? Are you crazy?
Li Ming gave her 300 pieces of Third Grade Spiritual Crystals!
"Haha! Junior Brother is very courageous!" A hearty laugh suddenly sounded from outside the door. Li Zhengxuan strode forward and swept Li Ming from head to toe. He laughed loudly,"Junior Brother seems to have a well-thought-out plan! Then I'm relieved. Hehe, I bet all my assets on you. If you lose, I'll have to pay everything! Haha!"
Li Ying Feng looked at Eldest Shixiong and Li Ming as if she was looking at a lunatic.
Was this group of people stupid…
Hearing this, Li Ming's heart warmed. Everyone else thought that he would lose, but his senior brother felt that he would definitely win! He suppressed the excitement in his heart and smiled."ln order to surprise An Yang, I put in a lot of effort.
A strange look flashed across his eyes..
Chapter 138
"Haha! Junior Brother, you always bring us surprises. That's great!"Li Zhengxuan laughed.
He was really crazy…
Li Ying Feng shook her head and turned to leave. If they were to bet then so be it, it wasn't even hers.
East sword-testing conference (-) officially began. In the beginning, no one was very interested in this competition, but the stakes made this competition very popular. The number of xiuzhe who came to watch was so great that it made people dumbfounded.
The gap between the two sides was too big, and the number of Spiritual Crystals involved was so great that it was interesting to watch.
Box
Anyone who heard this bet would be curious to know how many moves Li Ming could last.
How many moves could he last?
How long?
The sword-testing conference this time was called the Eastern Floating Sword Test Conference. To everyone's surprise, it had attracted half of the young experts of the Heavenly Origin Supercontinent. This Sword Test Conference could be said to be the Sword Test Conference of the Tian Yuan Continent.
There were many people who were skeptical about this sword-testing conference. They were also skeptical about the strength of the native xiuzhe. The cultivators outside had already proved their strength with their wonderful performance.
But up until now, not a single xiuzhe from East Floating had made a move. Because of this, the xiuzhe of East Floating did not have many rankings in each version.
Local xiuzhe had a certain quota and could not participate in the preliminary sword test. This was also why zhuji xiuzhe appearing in the official competition was a joke to many people.
This was also the reason why this sword-testing conference was controversial from the very beginning. Inequality between locals and outsiders, and so on…
However, Tian Song Zi, who was hosting this competition, only said one sentence: "This sword-testing conference (-) is called East Floating Sword Test Conference. "The subtext of this sentence was that this was a sword-testing conference held for their own people (-), and it was already very good for them to come.
The foreign xiuzhe didn't say anything, but the anger in his heart didn't dissipate. As the only zhuji xiuzhe in this sword-testing conference, Li Ming naturally became the target of everyone's attacks.
Many people were waiting to see him make a fool of himself. A large part of the reason for the few rounds of the bet was because they were adding fuel to the fire behind the scenes.
"So many people?" Li Ming glanced at the crowd and asked casually,""Senior
Sister, did you bet all the Spiritual Crystals?"
Li Ying Feng really wanted to turn around and leave. Under such circumstances, Shidi was still thinking about spirit crystals…
She suppressed her anger and said in a deep voice,"l'll bet!" I did it separately according to your instructions."
"Okay, that's good. Haha!" There was no expression on Li Ming's face. His smile was extremely wretched and indescribably strange.
Oh my god! Why did he have to follow this person? It was simply too embarrassing!
She was extremely regretful now. Why didn't she turn around and run just now?
"Brother An, are you kidding me? Your opponent is actually this kind of trash?"An Yang's companion was in disbelief.
An Yang's face was ashen. He clenched his fists tightly, making cracking sounds.
Further away, on the clouds, were the sect leaders sect master elders of the various sects. Pei Xuan ( ) and the others were among them.
This auspicious cloud occupied a vast area of several acres. There were tables placed on it, and all kinds of spiritual fruit and spirit tea were placed on them. Disciples of various sects stood respectfully at the side.
"Your sect's Li Ming is very interesting! Are all your disciples like this?"The sect master of the Moon Leaving Sect said.
Their cultivation levels were extremely high, so they could naturally see the commotion below clearly. They could also hear Li Fengying and Li Ming's conversation clearly.
Shi Feng Rong's brows rose, a trace of anger flashing through her eyes. Pei Xuan's expression did not change." Li Ming is straightforward and humorous. He's quite interesting." "You have to know that the entire sect, including me, the sect master, is the same. The noble faction is rich and does not know the sufferings of the poor. Haha!"
"That's right. I've heard that you shouldn't talk about crystals in front of Departing Moon Sect""lt's normal for poor people like us to scrimp and save."
The Moon Leaving Sect was rich and overbearing, and countless people were
jealous.
In addition, they were arrogant and did not have any good relationships. With just a few words, Pei Xuan ( ) made them stand on the opposite side of everyone.
The sect master of the Moon Leaving Sect was not stupid. Looking at the malicious gazes around him, his heart trembled.
His expression remained unchanged as he smiled and said, ""Everyone has their own difficulties. During this period of time, there were many people betting.
Sect Leader Pei knew the disciples of the sect well. How many rounds did Sect Leader Pei think Li Ming could last against An Yang? I bet three rounds!" As he spoke, he smacked his lips." Can you tell me some inside information? I think he should be able to last three moves."
Shi Feng Rong's brows rose, and she was about to get angry when Xu Shan pulled her back.
When Pei Xuan heard this, he put on a surprised expression.""lnside story? You don't know? If I remember correctly, when Li Ming came to your sect, he even sparred with five of your sect's senior brothers. Could it be that your disciples didn't report to you?"
"Oh, is that so?" Tian Song Zi listened with great interest, "How is it?"
Pei Xuan had a regretful look on his face."
The Sect sect master of the Moon Leaving Sect's expression had already become extremely ugly.
He had wanted to use this opportunity to mock Pei Xuan ( ) and the others, but who knew that Pei Xuan would drag him into this.
Under any circumstances, there were many people who would hit someone when they were down.
The Xuanjian sect master knew this, but he still asked,""So, four wins and one loss? Yi, Sha Ning was already at jindan, why did he have to fight with zhuji xiuzhe?"
"Now that you mention it, I'm a little curious about this Li Ming. "Another person said.
"I won by luck!" Pei Xuan chuckled.
The sect master of the Moon Leaving Sect was now so regretful that his intestines were green. However, he could not explain that Sha Ning had not reached the Golden Core stage at that time. If this matter was said too much, it would only make things more embarrassing.
Therefore, he could only swallow his anger and not speak up.
An Yang had been waiting for a long time when Li Ming entered the arena.
The longer this bastard stayed, the more he would become a laughing stock. He really hoped that the elder in charge of the competition would immediately announce the start of the competition so that he could smash this hateful kid in front of him into pieces with a hammer!
Because it was the first match, the referee was a yuanying xiuzhe to show the importance of the match.
His eyes were cold as he swept his gaze across the two of them. In his eyes, there was no difference between the aurous core stage and the foundation establishment stage. The warning gaze swept across the two of them, and they couldn't help but shiver. The anger in An Yang's eyes faded, and Li Ming's body also stopped trembling.
"Other than spirit beasts, you can use any other method. However, if you admit defeat, the other party will not be able to attack again.. "If one party falls into a coma, the judgment will directly fail, and the other party will not be able to attack again…"
Chapter 139
An Yang told himself to stay calm.
However, he felt that the people around him were looking at him with mocking eyes, as if they were looking at a clown. However, he did not dare to say anything in front of the referee. He could only lower his head and suppress the anger in his heart.
The referee spat out the last sentence and waved his hand."Let the competition begin!"
An Yang raised his head, his eyes filled with rage. He was like an angry lion, making people's hair stand on end!
The fire hammer in his hand expanded in the wind and turned into a huge fireball, floating beside him. The dark red flame burned fiercely, and everyone within a hundred meters could feel the heat.
Box
An Yang stood next to a ball of flames, looking so tiny.
The flickering flames illuminated An Yang's face. His expression was filled with killing intent!
Taking advantage of this gap, Li Ming flipped his hand and threw out a jade plate.
Those with good eyesight could recognize it at a glance. It was a formation plate!
As soon as the formation plate was thrown out, it immediately turned into rays of light and disappeared into the air.
Most of the xiuzhe watching the battle had ridicule and disappointment on their faces.
How could a mere second-grade Maze Formation formation do anything to a jindan xiuzhe?
Feeling the anger in his heart and seeing the other party's clumsy
performance, a hint of mockery and intense anger appeared on the corner of
An Yang's mouth!
How can a trash like him take ten moves from me?
A Grade Two Maze Formation was not a threat to a jindan like An Yang.
Chi.
It was like a bubble being popped. There was a light sound, but it didn't cause any ripples.
The light around An Yang's body changed slightly. The Maze Formation could not resist the remnant power of the flame around An Yang's body and was torn apart.
In just a moment, the number of Li Ming standing in front of An Yang had increased from one to five.
"Ghost Shadow Separation Talisman."
Yan Ming Zi and the others who saw this scene from afar were greatly shocked. The three of them looked at each other.
"Isn't that Senior Martial Brother Wang's pill talisman?"
"What a wretched posture!"
Senior Brother Wang was also dumbfounded and speechless. Ever since he was defeated by Li Ming, plus the bet with East Floating, he had caused quite a commotion. He couldn't help but feel interested in this skinned zombie competition, which was why he specially came over to watch. Not only him, but almost all the disciples of the Departing Moon Sect (De) had come out in full force, wanting to see how the Skinning Zombie was beaten up.
The Moon Leaving Sect had always been the ones who took the initiative to bully others and take advantage of others. This was the first time they had been bullied by others.
It was too embarrassing!
The disciples of the Moon Leaving Sect gritted their teeth. They really wanted to rush over and skin that hateful zombie alive. Especially when they saw Li Ming use Senior Brother Wang's Medicine Talisman Flowing, it made their hearts churn with new and old hatred.
The surrounding xiuzhe all shook their heads. The Phantom Shadow Split Talisman was very useful in the battle of low level xiuzhe, but in front of An Yang, it was useless.
There were four phantoms and one true body. The phantoms could only be controlled by the true body. This was also why the Shadow Separation Talisman was rarely used between high-level masters. It was because in order to control these shadows, one had to focus on them. The more shadows there were, the harder it was to control them. Those illusions only had a confusing effect and did not have much lethality.
The five Li Ming in the arena suddenly separated.
"Eh?" Senior Brother Wang's eyes lit up when he saw this.
The Medicine Talisman Sect was his, and the Ghost Shadow Separation Talisman was his forte. He couldn't be more familiar with it! However, even with his eyesight, he could not tell which of the five Li Ming was the true body!
The five Li Ming moved in unison as they took out formation plate from their Hundred Treasure Purses and threw them into the arena.
In an instant, the sky was filled with dense formation plate that danced in the air like raindrops.
How, how was this possible?
The next moment, his expression froze and his mouth slowly opened, but he did not realize it.
I can't tell, I still can't tell…
Every movement of Li Ming was exactly the same as the real person. There was no awkwardness or distortion at all. Other disciples might not be able to see it, but Senior Brother Wang, who was extremely familiar with the Phantom Shadow Talisman, knew what it meant.
The phantom created by the Ghost Shadow Separation Talisman could not move. If he wanted to move, he had to use his spiritual power to control it.
With Senior Brother Wang's strength, he could at most control one of them. As for the other three, he was completely powerless.
Even he could not do this.
What kind of powerful divine sense was this to be able to control four avatars at the same time to formulate a battle plan?
His back was soaked in sweat.
He suddenly had a strong feeling that this battle would not end so easily.
In a place like the Heavenly Origin Supercontinent where swordsmanship was prevalent, most people would not even bother to look at auxiliary methods like the Phantom Shadow Talisman. However, Senior Brother Wang had a deeper understanding of the Shadow Splitting Talisman than anyone else. When he had exquisite control over each shadow, this talisman formation would pose a huge threat to his opponent!
No, it should be said to be extremely dangerous!
In the illusion, the naked eye could not see it. Only a powerful divine sense could see it. However, to be able to control four phantoms at the same time, this person's spiritual power was definitely not weak.
This battle had attracted the attention of many people. Although the experts present didn't know as much about the Phantom Shadow Charm as Senior
Brother Wang, they could still see it with their understanding of the battle.
The disdain in many people's hearts disappeared without a trace. They began to think, if it were them, facing five enemies that they couldn't see through, how would they deal with them?
Tian Song Zi stood on the auspicious cloud and looked at Li Ming's performance. He couldn't help but praise, "Your sect's Li Ming is truly a talent that can be nurtured. Previously, when Zhang Haowen said that he could comprehend sword intent at the Qi Condensation stage, I didn't quite believe it. Now that I've seen him, he's truly a talent!"
"He was able to comprehend sword intent at the lianqi stage?"As soon as he said this, everyone present revealed a shocked expression!
This was the blessing of the heavens for Divine Will Sect! There was a monster who could produce a phenomenon in the Foundation Establishment Realm, and another genius who had already comprehended sword intent when he was in the Qi Refining Realm!
They felt admiration and envy in their hearts. They had all kinds of thoughts. The Sect Leader of Departing Moon Sect (De) had an ugly expression on his face.
"He was able to comprehend sword intent at the lianqi stage?"Shi Feng Rong, Xu Shan, and the others looked at each other, their faces filled with shock. Only now did they realize that they actually knew nothing about this.
When I come back later, I'll teach you a good lesson! Shi Feng Rong's eyes flickered, her heart burning with rage.
An Yang couldn't tell which one was the real Li Ming..
Chapter 140
The cultivation technique of the An family castle did not place much importance on divine sense.
When he saw the five Li Ming throw the formation plate onto the stage as if they had gone crazy, he wasn't angry. Instead, he was happy to see it happen. The more powerful Li Ming displayed, the more face he would have after he won.
In all fairness, the strength that Li Ming had displayed was already one of the best in the Foundation Establishment Realm.
However, he was facing a golden core xiuzhe. The difference between the two was far beyond his imagination!
An Yang's lips curled into a sinister smile.
Box
Indeed, he couldn't tell which was real and which was fake, but did he still need to tell?
The anger and humiliation in his heart were like a ball of scorching lava, wreaking havoc in every part of his body, causing him to feel intense pain!
His body glowed with a strange red light, like a ball of crimson metal. The Raging Fire mental cultivation technique that the An Family Fort cultivated was pushed to its limit.
He wanted to use a method that no one could doubt to obtain victory in this battle and silence all voices!
He opened his arms and lowered his head. A huge fireball floated beside him and shot toward him.
Everyone couldn't help but look up at the rapidly rising fireball. They all knew that An Yang would give it his all next time!
Li Zhengxuan's face sank. He could feel the terrifying power contained within this fireball.
Beside him, Lin Xue and Li Fengying's faces were pale and ashen. They had considered the disparity in strength between the two sides, but when they saw the confidence shown by Li Ming, they thought that the disparity wasn't that big. But now, they knew that the difference between the two was too great.
In the distance, the two of them floated quietly in the air, watching the battle.
"Junior Sister trusts Li Ming so much?" He Fang's gaze swept across the scene and slowly said, "The An Family Castle's Flame Hammer focuses on offense and defense, but it's also quite powerful. If we let him do as he pleases, even I will find it troublesome.
Su floated to his side and said casually,"Let's compete. We'll naturally see."
He Fang chuckled, "Junior Sister seems to have a lot of confidence in Li Ming." Yes, I'm looking forward to it."
Yang Su said nothing.
When Yan Ming Zi and the others saw this scene, they felt uneasy. Hu Shan hurriedly asked Wang Shixiong,"Senior Brother, how is it?"
Before he could finish his sentence, An Yang suddenly shouted. Pa, his fist smashed heavily on his chest.
The two fists collided, and the fireball in the air suddenly exploded, turning into fist-sized fireballs that flew toward the arena below!
"Fiery Rain Hammer", this was one of the moves of the [Raging Inferno Hammer]!
Weng weng weng weng!
From nothing to something, from low to high, the whistling sound was like a tsunami that swept across the entire battlefield. The ground trembled slightly. The xiuzhe who had treated An Yang as a joke just now had a drastic change in expression! The An Family Castle's Flame Hammer was truly worthy of its name!
Li Zhengxuan's eyes were wide open as he stared at the battlefield. Veins could not help but appear on his hands.
On the auspicious clouds in the distance, none of the sect master spoke. Their gazes were all focused on the arena.
Shi Feng Rong's expression changed greatly. This attack was definitely not something Li Ming could receive! Pei Xuan also felt a little regretful. He had originally only wanted to let Li Ming gain some knowledge, but he did not expect to force Li Ming into such a sorry state.
They thought that Li Ming had already comprehended sword intent when he was in the Foundation Establishment Realm, so they did not have any objections to Li Ming choosing to learn other contents.
If they knew that this guy could comprehend sword intent at the qi layer…
If he ruined such a good seedling, how could he still have the face to see the ancestors? Pei Xuan's expression immediately changed. The expressions of the others also became extremely ugly. A cold glint flashed in Xu Shan's eyes, and a dagger suddenly appeared in his right hand that was hidden in his sleeve.
Only the sect master of the Moon Leaving Sect gloated.
Just as everyone was stunned speechless by An Yang's Fiery Rain Hammer, Senior Brother Wang suddenly raised his head. His eyes suddenly lit up, and he could not help but exclaim, ""No…"
Yan Ming Zi and the others were startled by Senior Brother Wang's voice, but they didn't have the time to ask any more questions. Their eyes were fixed on him.
At some point, a layer of faint golden fog had appeared on the battlefield. It was like golden sand grains, and it was insignificant compared to the rain of fire that filled the sky.
Molten Metal Formation!
It was like a ball of golden sand mist, condensed from pure metal attribute energy.
The Molten Metal Formation was a very common metal element formation that could produce a lot of sharp metal element energy.,
The sharp golden light did not have any offensive properties. It was usually used when using metal attribute cultivation techniques. Only then could it increase the power of metal attribute cultivation techniques.
Was he going to use the Metal Element Technique? The surrounding xiuzhe all shook their heads. The metal attribute was sharp, hard, and broken. Adding on the fire attribute, it was the strongest attack among the five elements.
However, they could not think of anything that could withstand An Yang's Fire
Rain Hammer.
And those xiuzhe who had studied formations could see some clues. Could this be a second or third-grade formation? Such a large area of golden fog was definitely not a second-grade array. However, if it was a third-grade array, the activation time would not be so short.
Just as the flaming hammer was about to fall, the golden mist changed again.
However, at this moment, no one cared about the changes in the golden fog. Everyone's eyes were focused on the five Li Mings. They were waiting to see how Li Ming would deal with them!
"No…" Senior Brother Wang stared at the arena and muttered involuntarily. His forehead was covered in fine beads of sweat, and his eyes were filled with disbelief!
One, two, three, four, five…
How many formation plate did Li Ming throw out?
In the eyes of the others, countless formation plate were dancing in the air like raindrops. Only Senior Brother Wang was silently calculating in his heart. He saw five Li Ming throwing out formation plate at a shocking speed.
However, these illusory things were illusory. The Phantom Shadow Talismans below the Fifth Grade could not catch illusory things at all.
Senior Brother Wang, who was sweating profusely, was completely impressed by Li Ming. It was already not easy to create such a realistic illusion, and he could even create an illusion that could throw out a formation plate. This divine sense was truly terrifying!
Senior Martial Brother Wang couldn't even count how many formation plates there were. Each formation plate was thrown at a different time, so he couldn't tell which one was real.
However, he knew that Li Ming had thrown out at least seven formation plate!
The battle had reached its climax. Senior Brother Wang could feel that there was an extremely terrifying conspiracy hidden on the zombie's face! The fireball that was rumbling down rapidly changed shape in midair.
Hammer Transformation..
Chapter 141
This was the most crucial step of the Raging Fire Hammer. Almost all the moves had to be hammered. When the flame turned into a hammer, its strength would be greatly increased.
However, under normal martial skill, the process of the hammer forming was extremely short, so it was difficult to notice.
It was only a big move like the Fiery Rain Hammer that could turn the hammer into such a state and be discovered.
If all these flames turned into flaming hammers, the entire arena would be destroyed!
Suddenly, something happened!
Box
Three green chains suddenly shot out from under An Yang's feet. They were like three green vipers, coiling around An Yang.
An Yang was caught off guard and was entangled.
[Dragon-Binding Formation (-)], a third-grade formation!
Everyone sucked in a breath of cold air. This scene had happened too quickly without any warning!
But more people still shook their heads. Li Ming was hiding just like that?
The [Dragon-Binding Formation (-)] was a high level formation that Li Ming had taken. Even though not many people knew about it, to these golden core xiuzhe, they could roughly tell how powerful the [Dragon Tying Formation] was.
In their eyes, the power of the Dragon-Binding Formation (-) was still acceptable, but it was absolutely impossible to control An Yang. At most, in a few breaths, An Yang would be able to escape!
Hehe, Senior Brother Wang couldn't help but clench his fists. His face, which was drenched in sweat, suddenly turned red. Only he knew that Li Ming was going to counterattack!
An Yang was furious!
In front of so many people, he was actually entangled by a zhuji xiuzhe!
His mind buzzed, and he could no longer suppress the anger in his heart. His hair stood on end, his eyes were wide open, and his face was extremely distorted!
"Die!"
He poured all his spiritual energy into the three green chains, and his entire body burned.
The dark red flames burned the green chains on his body clean, and the chains quickly became smaller.
The spectators could not help but sigh. This was the disparity in strength! The power of the [Dragon-Binding Formation (-)] could be considered powerful at the foundation establishment realm stage, but it was not enough against the Winter Core stage.
Moreover, although Dragon-Binding Formation (-) had temporarily restrained An Yang, Li Ming, who did not have any ultimate moves, could not do anything to An Yang. He could not get close to An Yang just by looking at the flames on his body.
Only Senior Brother Wang firmly believed that this was the signal for Li Ming to counterattack. There must be a hidden trick behind this!
However, what was different?
He was shocked to find that this large ball of golden sand was actually mixed with endless water vapor!
There was a pale white fog, and within the fog, there were many golden spots of light that flickered with beautiful light.
What dense water vapor!
Everyone could see this clearly. Xiuzhe who had some understanding of formations could recognize it at a glance. This was [Water Gathering Formation]. However, the mist it gathered was much more than a normal second-grade water gathering formation!
And those xiuzhe who were skilled in formations reacted immediately!
"Metal Water, what is this? It flows into the array and is added to the water gathering array!"
"Then there should be an earth formation and an earth aiding metal formation!
This is a three-pronged trap!"
"F * ck! Look, three linked chains!
"Three linked chains, what kind of operation is this? This guy actually knows how to use the Triple Chain?"
The surrounding xiuzhe all cried out in surprise. Up until now, this was the first time they had cried out so much at Li Ming!
Senior Brother Wang clenched his fists, but he didn't think his guess was right. His heart was filled with worry.
Hurry up, hurry up…
The fireballs that filled the sky came down on Li Ming's head. No matter what preparations he made or what ambush he set up, he could not avoid them!
"Three linked chains, what a waste."
Someone spoke, and the surroundings fell silent.
With Li Ming's current strength, there was no way he could withstand this Fire Rain Hammer!
All of a sudden, the five Li Ming stopped in their tracks and looked up at the sky at the same time.
Li Ming's vision went black. This fireball carried an astonishing power, making it impossible for him to dodge.
Li Ying Feng and Lin Xue's faces turned pale as they looked at the incoming fireball. That terrifying power made them not even have the courage to resist.
Senior Brother Li Ming…
Xue Lin couldn't help but tremble.
"Eh?" Li Zhengxuan's eyes suddenly lit up.
"Yes!" Sha Ning stood up abruptly.
"Oh!" "This is interesting." A hint of surprise flashed across He Fang's face.
The fireballs that filled the sky expanded rapidly in front of his eyes, but he did not move. He looked up at the sky without blinking.
The fireballs left long trails of flames behind them, like comets!
However, this fire bead was round.
It was not a hammer!
Golden light flashed in the field and a huge formation appeared. Li Ming was in the middle of the formation. At the same time, the jade on his waist also lit up.
Two identical formations appeared.
Double-linked ring, Heart of Flowing Fire!
The five Li Ming on the stage waved their arms in unison.
Li Ming, who was under immense pressure, was in the middle of the formation. He could clearly feel that he had never been so relaxed before. His hands were like they were smeared with oil, and he didn't need to control them deliberately. The extremely complicated finger movements were like flowing clouds and flowing water, done in one go!
In stark contrast to his smooth movements, his body was trembling non-stop, as if he was carrying a heavy burden!
Chi chi!
With the four phantoms destroyed, Li Ming was no longer able to control them.
Even from afar, one could clearly see the veins on Li Ming's neck bulging like earthworms.
Flame Control!
He had only controlled the flames!
While An Yang was entangled, his control over the Fire Rain Hammer was weakened, and the fireball had yet to form, he used the Heart of Flowing Fire, which was linked in two, to increase his control over the flames and break the attack!
"What a clever little fellow!" Tian Song Zi stood on the auspicious cloud and praised.
The other sect master looked envious, but Pei Xuan ( ) and the others didn't show any pride. Instead, they looked at the arena nervously.
Everyone was dumbfounded!
No one had expected Li Ming to use such an unbelievable method to resolve an attack that far exceeded his strength.
This was a ball of fire.
Li Ming gritted his teeth and chanted in his heart over and over again. His divine sense extended in all directions without reservation and wrapped around the fireballs above his head. His finger movements constantly changed according to the senses of his divine sense.
Even with the help of the Heart of Flowing Fire, even if An Yang's control over the rain of fire was still a little lacking, even if he did not turn into a hammer, it was still not something that Li Ming could control.
However, Li Ming had never thought of controlling it.
"Open!" " Die!" Li Ming roared. This roar seemed to have exploded from his chest, and it was dull and deep.
The rain of fire that filled the sky suddenly shifted to the two sides, revealing a gap! Sunlight shone through the cracks, and the ground that was covered by shadows suddenly lit up..
Chapter 142
A path of light shot into the sky.
Li Ming stood on one side, An Yang on the other, and in the middle was the ball of water vapor with specks of golden light.
Suddenly, for some unknown reason, the moment this light path appeared, a thought appeared in the minds of every spectator. A fatal blow! All the arrangements, all the ambushes, were so perfect, so unexpected.
With so many ambushes, how could it not be a fatal blow?
As Li Ming moved his finger, the water vapor in the middle began to drizzle.
Box
Little Cloud and Rain Art!
Everyone who was waiting for the final attack was stunned. If many people couldn't recognize the finger technique and formation just now, then they clearly recognized the Water Drop Technique. No one cared how much time Li Ming had spent to finish casting the Water Drop Art. The first thought in everyone's mind was why it was the Water Drop Art.
Just as everyone was dumbfounded, a water-drop sword appeared in Li Ming's
hand.
All the sounds around him disappeared. Li Ming's eyes were only filled with fog. The Five-Elements Spirit Replenishing Formation (Five-) was also replenishing the spiritual energy in his body.
Go!
Li Ming exclaimed in his heart.
The Water Drop sword hung at his waist. As he took a short step forward, the Windrunner Boots under his feet flashed with light. His speed became faster and faster, and all the spiritual energy in his body was poured into the Water Drop sword.
An Yang was really angry. He had never been so angry before.
Originally, he had hoped to kill him in one strike to show his strength!
But now, everything had become a bubble!
Even if he won in the end, what this despicable Li Ming did today was enough for people to relish in. She was the focus of their discussion, and she…
The flames around his body grew hotter and hotter. The green chains that were still struggling earlier could no longer withstand the scorching flames and were directly burned to ashes.
He raised his bloodshot eyes, and only one sentence echoed in his mind.
"Die!"
In front of him, the rain clouds seemed to have changed.
A figure jumped out of the fog. The moment he jumped out of the fog, the white fog immediately turned into a golden light, and the water vapor dissipated.
When An Yang saw that the figure that rushed out was Li Ming, a cold smile appeared on his face. However, when his gaze swept past Li Ming, his eyes suddenly widened!
The water-drop sword (-) beside Li Ming transformed into a three-meter-long giant sword of water light!
Passing through the clouds, the surrounding water vapor was absorbed into the sword in his hand.
A crystal clear water sword in the crimson flames became Li Ming's final attack.
This move was Water Burning Heavens!
Bang bang bang!
The continuous explosions burned the entire arena into a sea of fire.
The blazing crimson flames were dozens of meters tall. They rolled and danced in the flames, drowning the two of them.
Suddenly, snowflakes fell from the sea of fire.
A blurry figure emerged from the sea of fire. As he moved forward, the blurry figure became clearer and clearer.
Who was it?
Everyone held their breaths. Even a fool could see that whoever could walk out would be the winner.
The rain of fire that fell from the sky blocked everyone's vision. What they saw was a huge water sword that was slashing toward An Yang from below!
Did he hit it? But now?
Everything was finally about to come to light.
The black shadow in the flames became even heavier. The man finally reached the end of the flames. He did not stop and took a step forward.
A naked, charred leg stretched out from the flames.
The weather on the Tian Yuan Continent was very good. Although there was a lot of rain, it was sunny most of the time. Eastern Floating was built on the mountainside and was bustling with activity.
The cultivators who came and went were either flying on swords, riding spiritual birds, or riding magical artifacts. They gathered from all directions.
Divine Will Mountain was not far from East Floating City.
Li Ming was completely naked. He was soaked in the medicine bucket, and only his head was exposed. He would let out a hissing sound from time to time.
This time, although he won, he was also heavily injured. As soon as he came out of the flames, he fainted.
When he opened his eyes again, he was already inside the potion. Beside the medicine barrel was a sound tablet. The jade plate was emitting a faint light. Li Ming had asked Xue Lin Xue to get this for him.
His attention was immediately drawn to the contents of the sound tablet.
"Although the matches in these two days were very exciting, they were not as good as the first round! Teacher Xu, what do you think?"
"I think so too. Although there were all kinds of competitions in the previous two days, they were far less eye-catching than the previous two days. However, thinking about it carefully, there are many reasons why the battle between Li Ming and An Yang left such a deep impression on people."
"In this competition, Li Ming's formations and formation disks are the focus of everyone's attention. Even though I don't know much about these things, Xu shi, you should know more about this than I do. Can you help me explain?"
"No, no, no. To be honest, I was also present at that competition, so I was quite shocked. "
"I don't know if it's because I'm too interested in formations, but Li Ming's use of formations and formation disks has deeply moved me. Many people are wondering how many array disks Li Ming threw away." "Not bad! I've been wanting to ask you for a long time."
"A total of eleven!"
"So many?"
"He first threw out a maze formation, then threw out a few formation disks.
They were the Earth Spirit Formation, Molten Metal Formation, and Water Gathering Formation, forming a three-chain formation. I believe everyone still remembers the three green ropes that wrapped around An Yang. After my investigation, this is a dragon trapping array, a high-grade formation. The last golden talisman was the Flowing Fire Heart Formation, which formed a double chain with the Flowing Fire Heart Control on Li Ming's body.
' That's clearly six formation disks!"
' Hehe, the arrangement of these six array disks is extremely ingenious. However, Li Ming's cleverness is not limited to these. What he threw out were five Five-Elements Spirit Replenishing Formation disks! "
"Five?"
"That's right. Li Ming is only at the Foundation Establishment realm after all.
His spiritual energy is far inferior to An Yang's. He needs to replenish it.
What's even more rare is that the placement of these five formation disks is very ingenious. As long as he moves to any place, he will be able to enter the range of the Five-Elements Spirit Replenishing Formation (Five-)."
Li Ming, who was inside the medicine bucket, sighed in admiration. He didn't know who this Xu shi was to be able to see through all of his arrangements so clearly.
At the same time, he was also a little proud. It was a great feeling to be able to hear others praise him from the sound tablet!
Even the pain of the medicinal liquid entering his body was reduced by a lot. When he thought of his gains this time, his heart palpitated.
"Are you very happy?" Shi Feng Rong snorted coldly, her expression ice-cold..
Chapter 143
Li Ming was dejected in the medicine bucket. He had forgotten that he was still on trial in public. The sect master, Martial Uncle Xu Shan, Martial Uncle Yang Li, and his master stood side by side and looked at his medicine bucket without blinking.
"I wouldn't dare."
"Scared? "Tell me, what do you not dare to do?"
Li Ming saw that the situation was not right. His master was angry, but he could not figure out what he had done wrong, so he could only obediently agree.
Who knew that seeing Li Ming being so obedient, Shi Fengrong was even angrier." You look honest and simple, but you are actually the most cunning and sloppy!" If it weren't for you treating me, I, as your master, wouldn't have known that you would have been played to death…"
Box
Li Ming couldn't understand it no matter how hard he thought about it. He was even more certain that he had done something wrong.
However, there were too many things that he could not say. Even if his master reprimanded him in front of him, he did not know what to say.
To be able to make his usually stern master so angry, he was probably in big trouble this time!
Xue Lin, Li Fengying, and the others stood at the side, not daring to breathe too loudly. In the end, they held back their laughter.
"Ahem." Only when Shi Fengrong's anger subsided did Pei Xuan step forward.
' Little Ming, why didn't you tell us that you had already comprehended sword intent when you were in the lianqi stage?" The Sect Leader's voice was extremely gentle, but Li Ming, who was soaked in the hot medicine, couldn't help but shiver.
In fact, Li Ming wasn't too afraid of his master. His master was a person who was cold on the outside but warm on the inside. Although he was scolding him, his concern for him came from the bottom of his heart.
Among the four of them, Li Ming was the most afraid of the sect master. The sect master's tone was gentle, but for some reason, Li Ming was filled with respect for the Sect Leader who had saved his life.
It turned out that he was able to comprehend sword intent at the Qi
Condensation stage. Li Ming felt slightly relieved, thinking that there shouldn't be any problems.
"I just thought that sword intent can't earn ling crystals, it's not as good as spiritual plant aspect ()…" Li Ming pretended to stutter.
The entire courtyard was silent.
Hearing Li Ming's answer, the four of them were all in the nascent soul Stage, but they were still dumbfounded. The four of them looked at each other, not knowing whether to laugh or cry.
As for Lin Xue, Li Fengying, and the others, they were trying hard to hold back their laughter as their bodies trembled.
Moreover, a long time ago, Li Ming had thought so. Therefore, he said it very naturally.
Everyone knew what Li Ming usually did. It was reasonable for a person who dared to risk his life to snatch the magic treasure from the Moon Leaving Sect.
"Earn Spiritual Crystals! All you think about is earning Spiritual Crystals! One day, you will be crushed to death by these Spiritual Crystals…" When Shi Feng Rong heard that Li Ming had wasted her talent for such a ridiculous reason, how could she not be angry!
"Even if I get smashed to death by these Spiritual Crystals, it's still worth it…" Li Ming unconsciously muttered. As soon as he finished speaking, he cursed in his heart. Master and the others had sharp ears and eyes. Wasn't this asking for trouble?
Once a person was injured, their self-control would decrease.
Shi Feng Rong was fuming with anger at Li Ming, her fingers pointing at him with trembling fingers.
Yang Li revealed a helpless expression. He had such a greedy disciple, and his aptitude was so good.
Only Pei Xuan ( ) remained calm. His voice was still very gentle."Hmm, if I remember correctly, you started cultivating the Li Water Sword Technique after you reached the Foundation Establishment Stage. Then, what kind of sword intent did you comprehend before?" Li Ming was shocked!
Damn it! How could I have forgotten about this!
The Li Water Sword Technique was a sword technique that he found in the library after he reached the Foundation Establishment stage. He had never thought that the sect master, who had always been silent, would be so concerned about him and know his Li Water Sword Scripture like the back of his hand.
If the sect master knew about the existence of the tablet spirit..
Li Ming panicked. He had never been so nervous before. His heart was about to jump out of his throat.
"It's Martial Uncle's Ice Avenue sword intent."
This matter couldn't be hidden from him. He only knew two sword intent. If he made it up and the sect master gave him a test, he would be exposed. A cold light suddenly flashed in Xu Shan's closed eyes. Li Ming's answer shocked the three of them. Even Pei Xuan ( ) was stunned.
"Alright, show us." Yang Li quickly said.
As expected.
Li Ming suppressed the fear in his heart, and a strand of Tidal sword intent burst out from his body. This sword qi was very faint, but the cold air inside was absolutely the same as Xu Shan's Ice Avenue sword qi.
"Who did you learn this sword technique from?" Sect Leader Pei Xuan ( ) stared straight at Li Ming.
Only then did the other three people realize that Xu Shan had never taught Li Ming the [Ice Avenue Sword Art]. Moreover, Li Ming was only at the Qi
Condensation stage, so how could he cultivate the [Ice Avenue Sword Art]?
The gazes of the four elders were like fire burning his eyebrows, causing Li Ming's heart to palpitate.
Damn it, how was he going to cover up this lie?
Li Ming didn't say anything, and the four of them couldn't keep their faces.
The heavy atmosphere made Lin Xue, Li Fengying and the others pale. No matter which sect it was, secretly learning spells was a dead end! No one would be merciful to such a person!
Just as Li Ming was at the end of his rope and was on the verge of despair, he suddenly had an idea.
" It's…it's the night Eldest Senior Brother built his foundation, " he stammered." I-I saw Martial Uncle's Kui Dragon."
The four of them who had a solemn expression earlier were now shocked. Only then did they realize that Xu Shan had used the Ice Avenue Sword Art that he had been famous for a long time that night to chase away those xiuzhe who were watching the show!
"You only took a glance that night and you had some enlightenment?" Xu Shan, who had always been calm, could no longer hold it in.
Shi Feng Rong had a face full of surprise and a trace of apology, while the other three had faces full of shock, shocked to the extreme! Even the sect master, who had always been calm, was dumbstruck.
With just a glance, he was able to comprehend the sword intent within. This attainments in the sword path…
In the main hall.
"What do you think?" Pei Xuan asked the others.
"Only second senior brother knows [Ice Avenue Sword Art], and he hasn't unlocked the seal yet. With Li Ming's current strength, even if he can learn it, it's impossible."
Pei Xuan smiled." Junior Sister, don't be impatient. Ice Avenue Sword Scripture isn't that easy to cultivate." I just saw that this guy was a little mischievous and wanted to scare him."
"What a pity." Xu Shan suddenly said.
"What's there to be regretful about?" Yang Li couldn't help but ask.
"This is the sword intent he comprehended himself, and now it has the power of a tide. If I continue to cultivate, it won't be difficult for me to reach the Soul
Formation stage.."
