Ge Tianqing's figure flashed and he appeared beside Junior Sister Zheng, and smashed down heavily with the low-grade iron hammer in his hand.

Junior Sister Zheng panicked, and at this moment she realized the mistake in the coordination between her and Senior Brother Zhao. If she had advanced and retreated together with Senior Brother Zhao, she would not have given Ge Tianqing any chance.

She wanted to recall the low-grade hairpin magic weapon, take out the defensive talisman from the storage bag, and increase the spiritual power injected into the low-grade defensive small shield. She wanted to do all these at the same time in a panic and was suddenly a little overwhelmed.

This cannot be blamed on her. She has hardly ever experienced any battles in the sect. Even when she was on a mission, she had the help of her fellow disciples. That is why she was able to save enough spirit stones to buy the Spirit Gathering Plate.

But her lack of strength showed its disastrous consequences in a real battle. Her panic made the low-grade defensive small shield in her hand barely block the low-grade iron hammer magic weapon.

But this was a low-grade iron hammer magic weapon driven by a cultivator in the late Qi Refining stage. It broke her low-grade defensive shield with one blow, and the low-grade iron hammer magic weapon hit her body heavily.

Junior Sister Zheng's whole body shook. The low-grade iron hammer magic weapon, carrying the spiritual power of the late stage of Qi Refining, instantly extinguished the life force in her body.

"Junior sister!" Senior Brother Zhao roared.

He no longer held back and clapped his hands on his waist, revealing an intermediate attack talisman in his hand.

He used his spiritual power to activate the intermediate attack talisman, and a beam of fire flew towards Ge Tianqing.

Ge Tianqing grabbed Junior Sister Zheng's storage bag, and then he discovered Senior Brother Zhao's attack. Without any hesitation, he threw the low-grade iron hammer magic weapon in his hand towards the flames activated by the intermediate attack talisman.

He took out a red talisman and spat a mouthful of blood towards the red talisman. The red talisman turned into a ray of blood light and carried him away.

After Senior Brother Zhao activated the intermediate attack talisman, his body merged with the high-grade long sword in his hand, and he wanted to approach Ge Tianqing for a fight.

As a person born in a sect, he has many means at hand that he has not yet used.

As long as he can delay Ge Tianqing, he will definitely keep him.

But he obviously did not anticipate the decisiveness of the wandering cultivator, who actually detonated the main magic weapon and activated a special blood-attracting talisman to escape.

Senior Brother Zhao moved forward and encountered the detonation of a low-grade iron hammer magic weapon.

The low-grade iron hammer magic weapon that exploded was a magic weapon that had been nurtured for a long time by a cultivator in the late stage of Qi Refining. The power of its self-detonation was extremely terrifying.

Perhaps even Ge Tianqing did not expect that detonating the low-grade iron hammer magic weapon would have such an effect. He had already fled far away by now and did not check the situation of the battle.

The effect of the intermediate defensive talisman on Senior Brother Zhao was broken by the primary talisman that Ge Tianqing had used before, and even the mid-grade tortoise shell magic weapon was affected.

The explosion of the inferior iron hammer magic weapon instantly destroyed the mid-grade tortoise shell magic weapon.

Fortunately, most of the power of the explosion was absorbed by the medium-grade tortoise shell magic weapon, and the medium-grade long sword magic weapon in Senior Brother Zhao's hand helped to resist it, so he was not killed on the spot.

Senior Brother Zhao's body flew out like a rag and fell heavily on the street.

He endured the pain, took out a pill from his storage bag and swallowed it, then jumped up, first put Junior Sister Zheng's body into the storage bag, and then summoned a small flying boat.

This small flying boat is not his, but borrowed from the sect for this mission.

He jumped into the small flying boat, and several spirit stones were thrown into the magic formation of the small flying boat. The small flying boat then took off into the sky.

Only after the small flying boat was flying steadily did he relax and violently spit out a mouthful of blood containing his internal organs. His face turned pale.

The reason why he fled immediately was that he was seriously injured after suffering the close-range self-detonation of a low-grade iron hammer magic weapon.

He was worried that the wandering cultivator would come back and he wouldn't even have the strength to fight back and could only let the other party do whatever he wanted.

After the two groups of monks left, only a devastated scene was left behind. The buildings on both sides of the street were in ruins, and there were fragments of rock and wood torn apart by spiritual power everywhere.

Apart from the groans of the injured in the building, the rest of the people were so frightened by the noise outside that they dared not make any sound.

It was not until the lights and the footsteps of a large group of people were heard that someone dared to come out to check the situation outside.

Li Wenyuan was awakened from his dream by a servant and rushed to the scene.

Li Shiming was still trying to sense the spiritual energy and had not fallen asleep. He also heard the noise outside.

"Mo Yan, what happened again?" Li Shiming came out dressed and asked the servant Mo Yan who came over.

He was very satisfied with his servant Mo Yan. Whenever anything happened, Mo Yan would rush over to inform him immediately.

"There was a battle in front of the temple street. The news that came back showed that the destructive power was somewhat similar to that in the garden!" Mo Yan replied with some shock.

The explosion in the garden frightened all the servants in the mansion, but the city was not at peace yet and another one happened.

Li Shiming certainly knew that what happened in Temple Street and the Garden were different. There was no one else in the world who could mix nitroglycerin, and it was impossible to create such an explosion.

He thought of the two monks. Only a battle between monks could have such an effect.

"Mo Yan, send two maids to the guest house to see if the two guests are still there?" he ordered in a deep voice.

The maids in the mansion are all smart and know how to find out without making people angry. On the contrary, if Mo Yan were to go and investigate, Li Shiming would worry that things wouldn't turn out well.

"Yes, young master!" Mo Yan didn't know the reason, but he still bowed and responded.

Li Shiming couldn't sleep either, so he came to the government office area and waited in the living room where Li Wenyuan worked.

The news from Mo Yan came first, the two guests were not in the guest house.

At this point he was 100% sure that what happened in the city was related to the two immortal cultivators.

"Father!" Li Wenyuan walked in with heavy steps. Li Shiming hurried forward to support him and said worriedly.

"I'm old. When I was young, I could sit on the river bank for three days and three nights without feeling tired!" Li Wenyuan said helplessly as he sat on a chair and gently pounded his legs.

Li Shiming ordered the servant outside to bring the ginseng soup, which he had asked the kitchen to prepare in advance.

"Father, I sent people to investigate the guest house where the two immortal cultivators were staying, and they are gone!" Li Shiming said.

"In fact, there is no need to investigate further. There was a brave witness at the scene who saw the battle. Yesterday's female immortal died, and the male immortals and their enemies all fled!" Li Wenyuan said in a deep voice.

"Father, I'm afraid the Ministry of Revenue's evaluation this year will be troublesome!" Li Shiming said worriedly.

The Ministry of Revenue’s evaluation is a rating of an official’s work over the year and is an important basis for his promotion.

"Don't worry about the assessment. I have no intention of returning to Zhongdu!" Li Wenyuan said with a smile and shook his head.
