A lone moon hangs in the sky, and a cold wind howls.

His slender figure exuded an incredibly profound aura. His movements were neither too fast nor too slow, yet he instantly drew the attention of everyone, including Yan Erlang, Li Jianghai, and Xuan Lian.

He was a handsome young swordsman with an extraordinary bearing. His white robes fluttered in the wind, and with each step he took on the river, his sword intent increased.

Who is this person?

Li Jianghai was filled with doubt and confusion, frantically searching his mind for information about the person, but still couldn't remember.

When did I offend such a master?

Such powerful sword cultivators are usually well-known, but he didn't recognize this person in his memory.

Why would this person cause trouble for him?

Whew~

The night wind howled, and Li Ming slowly raised his head. His gaze illuminated everyone several miles away, even the Celestials hiding on the ship were nowhere to be seen.

He still retained his previous "desolate" appearance, but this appearance remained very mysterious.

After all, only a handful of people saw his face during the battle to seize the essence of the innate Gui water.

"Unexpectedly, there were several big fish again!"

Li Ming muttered to himself.

Originally, I only intended to deal with the Black Lotus Cult members and accumulate life energy, but I didn't expect the Li family of Thousand Machine Island to also cause trouble.

This guy, he's quite afraid of death.

Not only did they bring many assassins with them, but they also had many skilled guards protecting them.

The red-armored giant was also exceptionally talented and skilled in combat.

Name: Yan Erlang

[Realm Level]: [Fifth Level of Enlightenment]

[Entry]: [Tai Sui Descends to Earth (Light Purple), Overturning Sea Sacred Body (Deep Red), True Yang Bloodline (Deep Red), Nine Dragon Divine Power (Red), Luck By One's Side (Red), Martial Arts Grandmaster (Red), Excellent Root Bone (Red), Obsessed with Martial Arts (Blue), Sincere Heart (Blue), Exorcising Demons and Protecting the Righteous Path (Cyan), Hating Evil Like an Enemy (Cyan), Unruly and Untamed (Cyan)...]

"One purple, four red, and he is a rare upright person."

Li Ming's eyes gleamed.

Yan Erlang possessed an incredibly powerful aura; one could feel his overwhelming bloodlust even from several miles away.

This person has exceptional talent and great potential.

His talent is much better than Jiang Yuan's.

"This person... is incredibly strong."

Yan Erlang raised an eyebrow slightly. His intuition was always accurate, and he could clearly sense a suffocating sense of crisis emanating from Li Ming.

After leaving the Wanling Pavilion, he traveled far and wide and met many geniuses.

But I've never seen such a formidable person before.

"Xuan Lian... Li Jianghai, right?"

Although it was a question, it was phrased with absolute certainty. Li Ming's gaze fell on Xuan Lian and Li Jianghai on the huge painted boat.

His murderous intent was made no attempt to conceal!

Although I don't know where the Black Lotus Ancestor is, he will definitely come out after I killed his disciple, right?

At the very least, shouldn't he at least protect his master's son?

"Young Master, this person is very strong!"

From the shadows, an aged voice reached Li Jianghai's ears.

This person is the shadow warrior of the Li family, and also Li Jianghai's personal bodyguard, protecting Li Jianghai at all times.

"Who exactly is this person? Brother Xuan, could it be someone you've offended recently?"

Li Jianghai was on edge, and his fingers gripping the wine glass tightened involuntarily.

Even Elder Li thought he was very strong, definitely a master no less than a celestial being.

In fact, someone who can casually unleash that sword strike must be extraordinary.

Xuanlian, on the other hand, looked completely bewildered.

"Young Master Li, I have never offended such a master."

After the Black Lotus Sect joined the Li family of Thousand Machine Island, they only did what Li Canghai ordered and did nothing else.

Surely it couldn't be that the people from Da Xuan found them?

"No, I must inform Master immediately."

Xuanlian thought to himself.

If anything happens to Li Jianghai, the Li family will definitely not let them off the hook.

On the other side.

Sensing Li Ming's killing intent, many of Li Jianghai's experts were not fools, and a significant number of them were on guard against Li Ming.

Such a display naturally frightened those seeking pleasure, causing them to flee in disarray, not daring to linger there.

Fortunately, these people were all martial artists with some skill. Even if they didn't like cultivation and couldn't fly, their physiques were still quite good, and they were quite fast swimmers in the rivers.

"Yan Erlang... I was invited here, so there's no need to distinguish between first and last. Let's see who kills the most!"

Li Ming ignored the mess in front of him and shouted loudly.

"Very well, my halberd is just itching for a good sip!"

Yan Erlang swung his halberd, the sound was incredibly loud, and the sound waves echoed over the rivers.

The two exchanged a glance from afar and immediately understood each other's intentions, seemingly reaching a consensus in an instant.

"This is outrageous!"

Li Jianghai was furious. He knew perfectly well that these two didn't take him seriously. He let out a long howl:

"Everyone, attack! Kill these two at all costs!"

Almost the instant Li Jianghai roared, all the experts mobilized, forming ranks and attacking with swords and sabers drawn, charging towards the two without regard for their own lives.

On the river, countless sword and saber energies swept across the sky, accompanied by billowing blood!

These people were all experts cultivated by the Li family with a lot of resources. Except for a few, most of them had already formed a Dharma body, and they were determined to die this time.

He had unleashed a secret technique, sacrificing his own lifespan to temporarily boost his strength to a higher level!

"Elder Li, be ready to act at any time!"

Li Jianghai said coldly.

"This old servant will kill one of them, young master, you go first!"

In the shadows, an old man holding a knife gave Li Jianghai a deep look, then his figure moved and disappeared from the spot.

Although it was a follower, its speed was extremely fast, and it surpassed the dozens of assassins who had launched the attack earlier in an instant.

A jet-black blade sliced ​​through the night.

Silently, hidden in the night wind, they attacked Li Ming!

He was a top-notch assassin trained by the Li family, and was even given a name. He was extremely loyal to the Li family.

Although he forcibly broke through to the Celestial Realm using a secret technique, his cultivation level is difficult to advance further.

But at least it has the strength of a celestial being.

Furthermore, he has condensed the Hidden Assassination Saint Body, making him sensitive to qi and more skilled in assassination. Therefore, even some powerful Celestial Martial Saints would be crippled if they were ambushed by him!

"This white-clad swordsman is probably even more troublesome!"

Elder Li was sensitive to the flow of energy and had long ago discovered that although Yan Erlang's aura was astonishing and he seemed stronger, the mysterious swordsman was even more dangerous.

It was as if they were about to be killed; their vital energy had already been locked onto.

It was as if they wouldn't leave unless they were killed.

Therefore, he planned to kill the white-clad swordsman first, and then find an opportunity to meet up with the young master and see if Yan Erlang dared to chase after him.

"You only have one chance to make a move!"

That is the way of assassination.

Concentrate all your strength on this one strike.

If they fail, they will flee far away.

In a fraction of a second, he was already close to Li Ming, and his jet-black longsword emitted a dark light, as if it were devouring space and time.

It seemed that Li Ming had nowhere to escape and no time to resist.

"Walk!"

At the same time, Li Jianghai was not arrogant. With a thud, he and Xuan Lian fled directly without any hesitation.
