Duan Zhen made a decision and executed it immediately. He was not a indecisive person.
To his surprise, Li Shiming did not turn around and flee immediately, but instead controlled five flying swords to block the black flying sword.
He was overjoyed, as it seemed that Li Shiming had no experience of fighting with a cultivator in the middle Nascent Soul stage.
This phenomenon has occurred in many talented monks. Genius monks always think that if they can suppress monks of the same level, they can fight against monks of higher levels.
However, the combat power gap in each small realm of the Nascent Soul Stage is extremely large.
When a cultivator in the early Nascent Soul stage meets a cultivator in the middle Nascent Soul stage, he has to treat the cultivator as a senior. There is a reason for this.
In the Jindan stage, if one has enough talent, one may be able to advance to a small realm in a few decades. However, in the Yuanying stage, the time span for advancement to a small realm is usually hundreds of years.
Duan Zhen didn't even activate his Nascent Soul Dharma Image. With the activated Light and Agile Secret Technique, he approached Li Shiming in a flash.
Li Shiming also discovered Duan Zhen. Although he was nervous, he did not retreat.
If he really wanted to leave, he could have used the "So Close Yet So Far" to escape during the few moments when the "Water Dragon Bodyguard" was activated.
When Duan Zhen approached to a certain distance, Li Shiming's expression changed. He finally understood the gap between the middle Nascent Soul stage and the early Nascent Soul stage.
Duan Zhen has a kind of coercive force, which is the suppression of the lower level by the higher level.
If Li Shiming did not have one hundred and ninety-one brains, and the spirit of each brain had reached the extremely high level of the early Nascent Soul stage, the coercive force emanating from Duan Zhen alone would be enough to make him lose most of his ability to act.
In a battle at the Nascent Soul level, not to mention losing most of the ability to move, just being slow for a moment could be the difference between life and death.
Duan Zhen was very proud. He approached Li Shiming, and Li Shiming was completely under the range of his coercive power.
This time, Li Shiming had no way to escape from his clutches. Li Shiming's life and death depended on his thoughts.
It was at this time that the effect of Li Shiming's "Water Dragon Protection" disappeared.
The five flying swords were struggling to resist the black flying sword, but the black flying sword was much stronger than the five flying swords, and even out of five against one they were barely able to hold on.
Duan Zhen had a smile on his face, this time he had gained a lot.
He considered that Li Shiming was a well-known alchemy master, so he might as well capture Li Shiming and bring him back. He had the means to make Li Shiming obedient.
As he was thinking about it, he quickly approached Li Shiming, gathered spiritual power in his hands, and prepared to use the secret sealing method to seal Li Shiming's cultivation.
He didn't expect that Li Shiming could resist. Even if Li Shiming resisted, due to the small realm gap between them in the Nascent Soul Stage, Li Shiming could not break his defense.
That's right, Duan Zhen was extremely confident and wanted to get close to seal Li Shiming's cultivation without any hesitation.
Just when he was ten meters away from Li Shiming, he saw a strange smile on Li Shiming's face.
He was stunned. Li Shiming was not a fool. He could still laugh in such a situation. He must have some tricks up his sleeve.
Just as he was about to retreat, he saw a little silver light in his eyes.
Li Shiming was of course happy. If Duan Zhen didn't approach him on his own initiative, he would have thought of using "A World Away" to get close to Duan Zhen.
However, there is a certain risk in casting "A World Away" to get close to Duan Zhen. A cultivator in the middle stage of the Nascent Soul at Duan Zhen's level definitely has the means to deal with spatial movement skills such as the Divine Foot Skill.
Duan Zhen took the initiative to approach Li Shiming, thus avoiding trouble.
At a distance of ten meters, Li Shiming released the 'Silver Wing Spirit Gu Bug', which gave him the confidence to stay where he was and fight against Duan Zhen.
The 'Silver-winged Spiritual Guworm' is an existence that even great monks have to be careful to deal with. If Duan Zhen knew that Li Shiming had the 'Silver-winged Spiritual Guworm', he would not have gotten too close to Li Shiming.
The speed of the 'Silver-winged Spiritual Guworm' is not slow. For the 'Silver-winged Spiritual Guworm', a distance of ten meters is equivalent to the distance of a slight movement of its wings.
Duan Zhen discovered the silver light, but before he could sense the specific situation of the 'Silver-winged Spirit Gu Bug', the 'Silver-winged Spirit Gu Bug' got close to him.
There was a reason why both Master Ding and Master Hu did not dare to let the Silver-winged Spiritual Guworm get close to them.
After the 'Silver-winged Spirit Guworm' got close to Duan Zhen's body, a terrifying and fierce aura burst out from the 'Silver-winged Spirit Guworm', and the fangs of the 'Silver-winged Spirit Guworm' were truly revealed.
Duan Zhen had an autonomous defensive shield magic weapon on him. When the Silver-winged Spiritual Gu Bug approached, it automatically activated and blocked the Silver-winged Spiritual Gu Bug.
The Silver-winged Spiritual Insect opened its mouth and bit the shield magic weapon.
This shield magic weapon is a fourth-grade upper-level magic weapon, and has been refined by Duan Zhen for many years. It is Duan Zhen’s main defensive magic weapon.
Although monks may have many magic weapons, they will generally focus on specific attack and defense magic weapons. The energy of monks is limited, and it takes a lot of time to refine magic weapons, so it is impossible to take care of all of them.
The defensive power of the fourth-grade upper-level shield magic weapon can at least withstand several full-strength attacks from a peak cultivator in the middle stage of the Nascent Soul. This is Duan Zhen’s last line of defense.
But something strange happened. After the 'Silver-winged Spiritual Gu Bug' bit down, the light of the fourth-grade upper-level magic shield dimmed, and a hole appeared at the bitten spot.
This is the innate ability of the 'Silver-winged Spirit Guworm', 'Soul Devouring'. Any spiritual creature of the same level as the 'Silver-winged Spirit Guworm' will lose its spiritual power after being bitten by it.
When the 'Silver-Winged Spirit Guworm' used 'Soul Devouring', combined with its terrifying bite force, the fourth-grade upper-level shield magic weapon was instantly broken.
Duan Zhen let out a muffled groan, which was the backlash of the destruction of the fourth-grade upper-level shield magic weapon.
He didn't have time to react before the 'Silver Wing Spirit Gu Bug' came into contact with his skin.
The protective spiritual power on his body was of no use at all. The 'soul-eating' ability of the 'Silver-winged Spiritual Guworm' dissipated as soon as it came into contact with the protective spiritual power.
Duan Zhen felt a pain in his skin, and then his whole body went numb. He knew something was wrong and wanted to let his Nascent Soul leave his body.
But the Nascent Soul seemed to have lost its vitality and moved extremely slowly.
At this moment, Li Shiming felt his whole body lighten, and the pressure from Duan Zhen disappeared.
The 'Silver-winged Spiritual Guworm' entered Duan Zhen's body, and its 'Soul Devouring' ability caused the spiritual power in Duan Zhen's body to lose control.
Not to mention Duan Zhen, a cultivator in the middle stage of the Nascent Soul, even the great cultivators Ding and Hu were unwilling to let the 'Silver-winged Spirit Gu Bug' get close to them, because spiritual defense methods were ineffective against the 'Silver-winged Spirit Gu Bug'.
The best option is to use long-range means to prevent the 'Silver-winged Spiritual Gu Bug' from getting close.
It was too late for Duan Zhen now. When the 'Silver Wing Spiritual Gu Bug' appeared in front of his Nascent Soul, his only thought was regret. He regretted that he had broken the long-established rules and did not escape immediately after the failed sneak attack.
The 'Silver-winged Spirit Guworm' bit Duan Zhen's Nascent Soul. At this time, Duan Zhen's Nascent Soul had not yet been able to leave his body and was found by the 'Silver-winged Spirit Guworm' inside his body.
Duan Zhen's Nascent Soul was like a deflated ball. The spiritual power, spirit and other energies within the Nascent Soul were all devoured by the 'Silver-Winged Spiritual Gu Worm'.
The 'Silver-winged Spiritual Guworm' crawled out of Duan Zhen's body, and Duan Zhen had already lost his life at this time.
It was also the first time that Li Shiming saw the 'Silver Winged Spirit Gu Bug' fighting. He already knew that the 'Silver Winged Spirit Gu Bug' was powerful, but he did not expect that the 'Silver Winged Spirit Gu Bug' could kill a mid-Nascent Soul cultivator like Duan Zhen so easily.
He stretched out his hand to call back the 'Silver-winged Spirit Gu Bug'. The 'Silver-winged Spirit Gu Bug' that had just fought could not hold back its crazy emotions, but after he took out a top-level 'Spirit Insect Golden Sun Pill', the 'Silver-winged Spirit Gu Bug' calmed down.
Li Shiming used his spiritual sense to grab Duan Zhen's body. After his spiritual sense came into contact with Duan Zhen's body, he couldn't help but frown.
Originally, for someone at Duan Zhen's level, corpses were good materials for refining corpses.
At least after refining this corpse into a refined corpse, there won't be many bottlenecks in advancing to the middle stage of golden corpse.
But now Duan Zhen's corpse has lost most of its spirituality. It is hard to say whether it can be successful if one really wants to refine the corpse, not to mention the potential of refining the corpse.
This was of course the work of the 'Silver Winged Spiritual Gu Bug', which entered Duan Zhen's body and devoured the spiritual energy in his body.
Li Shiming couldn't help but feel his scalp tingling. If he couldn't sense the affinity of the 'Silver Wing Spirit Gu Bug' towards him, he would have wanted to put the 'Silver Wing Spirit Gu Bug' into the 'Gu Feng Bag'.
The 'Silver-Winged Spiritual Guworm' was really too terrifying. Even the cultivators in the middle stage of the Nascent Soul could not withstand its bite, let alone Li Shiming.
Li Shiming sent out a "Nanming Lihuo" and burned Duan Zhen's body.
Although at this stage, he could get some contribution points by bringing Duan Zhen's body back to the sect, but with his cultivation level at the early Nascent Soul stage, killing a mid-Nascent Soul cultivator was not an achievement he could boast about.
The gap between the Nascent Soul stage and a small realm cannot be overcome by relying on powerful magic weapons or techniques. If his ability to leap into a small realm and kill a cultivator in the middle stage of the Nascent Soul is really exposed, other cultivators will definitely suspect that he is hiding a rare treasure.
Even great cultivators would be tempted by a rare treasure that could leap a small realm and kill a cultivator in the middle stage of the Nascent Soul. He didn't want to bring trouble upon himself.
It would be better to just destroy Duan Zhen’s body and pretend that this incident never happened.
Li Shiming collected Duan Zhen's mustard seed ring and black flying sword. The fourth-grade upper-level shield magic weapon had lost its spiritual power and had a hole on it, so it was no longer valuable.
This time he did not use the sword-controlling technique, but instead activated the color-changing cloak, making himself invisible, and then used the technique of 'A World Away' to hurry on his way.
His carelessness this time almost cost him his life.
The 'Water Dragon Robe' has not been restored yet, and he doesn't want to go through it again.
To be honest, another most important reason for this sneak attack was that Duan Zhen was a cultivator in the middle Nascent Soul stage. He used his status as a cultivator in the middle Nascent Soul stage to sneak attack Li Shiming, who was an early Nascent Soul stage cultivator, not to mention that the Yanri Sect was good at this kind of means.
While using the technique of 'A World Away' to travel, he was also checking his harvest.
The black flying sword contains the energy of the 'Wangyuan Minggong'. This black flying sword is a fourth-grade magic treasure that matches the 'Wangyuan Minggong'.
Duan Zhen practiced the "Wang Yuan Ming Gong". It is possible that he is also a ruthless person and is ready to use the "Wang Yuan Ming Gong" to make his body stronger.
The 'Wanyuanminggong' is not a proper martial art, but a forbidden technique of the Yanri Sect. When practiced to a high level, the 'Wanyuanminggong' can transform a cultivator into a demon.
Li Shiming didn't know whether the Yanri Sect had the means to prevent it, but since the "Wang Yuan Ming Gong" was designated as a forbidden technique, the Yanri Sect was afraid that it would be unable to prevent cultivators from transforming into evil spirits.
He could not use the black flying sword, but he could use the Golden Corpse Black Shield. It just so happened that the Golden Corpse Black Shield also practiced the "Wang Yuan Ming Gong", which was very compatible with the black flying sword.
Li Shiming controlled the Golden Corpse Black Shield, and the Golden Corpse Black Shield cast a spell to recognize the master, adding the Golden Corpse Black Shield's spiritual imprint to the black flying sword.
This fourth-grade magic treasure is called the 'Wanyuan Demon Sword'. It is a top-grade fourth-grade magic treasure. When combined with the 'Wanyuan Dark Art', it can enhance the attack power of the Golden Corpse Black Shield.
In the past, the Golden Corpse Black Shield could only fight with bare hands and fists. After having the 'Wan Yuan Demon Sword', its attack power has at least doubled. This is the effect of a top-level fourth-grade magic treasure.
Li Shiming's spiritual consciousness entered Duan Zhen's mustard seed ring, and he first discovered that a communication card was vibrating.
He took out the contact card and his spiritual consciousness entered the contact card.
"Uncle Duan, how is Li Shizhen?" This was a message sent by Mu Jing.
Li Shiming finally understood why Duan Zhen attacked him. It turned out to be because of Mu Jing.
"He has been killed. Come to this place and I will give you the body!" Li Shiming thought for a moment and sent a message back using the communication card.
Mu Jing, who was in his own cave in the Yanri Sect, was happy at first when he received the news, but his expression changed immediately.
Duan Zhen knew his condition, and there was no way he could leave the sect without recovering from his injuries.
Thinking of this, his scalp couldn't help but tingle, and he thought of a possibility.
"Uncle Duan, didn't I agree on a meeting place with you?" Mu Jing sent a message.
When Li Shiming saw the message, he couldn't help but shook his head. Mu Jing was indeed cautious. There must be a flaw in the message just sent, which allowed Mu Jing to see something.
Mu Jing was testing him intentionally, and he was too lazy to reply.
I had originally thought of getting rid of Mu Jing, but it seems that I can't do it.
Li Shiming put the contact card away casually, thinking that it might be useful in the future.
The spiritual object in the mustard seed ring made him extremely disappointed. It did not seem like the wealth that a cultivator in the middle stage of the Nascent Soul should have.
He is really too poor. He is a cultivator in the middle stage of the Nascent Soul of the Yanri Sect. How could he be so poor?
Li Shiming was a little confused, as there was almost no spiritual object in the mustard seed ring that he was interested in.
How could he know that most of Duan Zhen's fortune was spent on the 'Demon Sword of Wrongful Resentment'.
It is not easy for a cultivator in the middle stage of the Nascent Soul to obtain a top-grade fourth-grade magic weapon. This level of magic weapon is mostly used by great cultivators.
It was only after Li Shiming saw the great monk's wealth that he felt that a top-grade fourth-level magic treasure was nothing.
