Chapter 923 Stalemate



After his phantom clone was captured and taken into the cave by the half-step great master Lian Lei, Li Shiming said hello to Yin Shilan, left the Wanshou Sect under Yin Shilan's worried gaze, and headed towards the Yanri Sect.

Such a big thing happened in the Ten Thousand Beasts Sect, how could Yin Shilan not know about it.

Something happened to her phantom clone who was handling sect affairs in the Yanri branch. While she was worried, she was even more worried about Li Shiming who was rushing over.

She was well aware of how powerful the phantom clone was. Even if several peak monks joined forces, they would not be able to defeat the phantom clone that carried four late-stage golden corpses with him.

Anyone who can easily capture the phantom clone also has the ability to capture Li Shiming.

But Yin Shilan did not give much advice. She knew that she was far inferior to Li Shiming in handling these matters, and interfering casually would only bring trouble to Li Shiming.

Li Shiming was anxious. For the first time, he used all his strength to perform "One Kick". He mobilized ten brains and made sure that "One Kick" could be performed continuously without any time interval.

This method of performing the "all-in-one move" consumes a great deal of the body's spiritual energy.

Fortunately, his realm has reached the peak of the great monk, and he has five Nascent Souls to provide spiritual power, allowing him to withstand such consumption.

It only took him two incense sticks of time to get from the Wanshou Sect to the Yanri Branch Sect.

Li Shiming's sudden appearance outside the Yanri Branch Sect made Master Hu breathe a sigh of relief.

Master Hu confirmed that the person who was captured was indeed the phantom clone, not the real Li Shiming.

Although Li Shiming had given an explanation through the later golden corpse before, it was still completely different from seeing Li Shiming’s real body with one’s own eyes.

"Master, let's talk about it later. I'll reinforce the formation first!" Li Shiming waved his hand and said to Master Hu.

His figure flashed and he entered the Yanri branch sect's formation, throwing out black and white chess pieces continuously in his hand. This time he used his formation ability, and with the coordination of the black and white chess pieces and the Yanri branch sect's formation, he re-reinforced the blockade of Lian Lei's cave heaven, a half-step great power.

Fearing the threat from the Half-Step Great Power Lian Lei, Li Shiming did not approach the body of the great monk Su Tong, nor did he care what the carrier of the Half-Step Great Power Lian Lei's cave anchor point was.

Anyway, he set up the blockade formation with the body of Master Su Tong as the core, and the cave anchor carrier was on the body of Master Su Tong.

Only after completing this step did Li Shiming feel truly relieved.

The formation arranged by the black and white chess pieces comes from the formation system of Yundao Sea. Combined with the large formation of the Yanri Branch Sect, it is almost equivalent to two large formations blocking a small area of ​​space at the same time.

His figure flashed and he left the mountain gate of the Yanri branch sect and returned to the side of Master Hu.

"Master, let all the monks of the Yanri branch sign a confidentiality agreement. Other monks outside the sect must also confirm the confidentiality agreement. If they refuse to sign, they will be locked up!" Li Shiming said to Monk Hu.

"I have already planned this matter. Who is that person?" Monk Hu asked curiously.

"A half-step great power from the Yuqing Sect, whose lifespan is about to end, was sent out to deal with me!" Li Shiming said with a wry smile and shook his head.

He knew that the Yuqing Sect still did not let him go, but sending out another half-step great power, and a powerful half-step great power at that, was beyond his imagination.

Almost all superpowers have half-step great powers, but look at these superpowers, which one will send out a half-step great power to carry out a mission.

Although Half-Step Great Power is a state of mind, it is an extremely dangerous process state and is rarely revealed to the outside world.

Not to mention being carried with the cave anchor carrier and carrying out missions far away from the sect.

"Hiss!" Master Hu and Master Chai beside him gasped in surprise.

They never imagined that the powerful hand that appeared before was actually the work of a half-step great master.

It’s no wonder that Li Shiming asked to block the news. If Yuqing Sect really knew that their Half-Step Great Power was trapped in the Yanri Branch Sect, they would probably send cultivators to rescue him.

"I won't stay. With my strength, I can't deal with that half-step great man. I'll just delay it for now!" Li Shiming said finally.

He has done what he should do. It now depends on who will give up first, Lian Lei, the half-step great master in the cave, or his phantom clone.

"We will handle the rest. You go back to the mountain gate first!" Monk Hu nodded.

When Li Shiming returned, he did not use the "Reach in One Go" again, but took out the "Jade Flying Boat" and flew back to the Ten Thousand Beasts Sect.

In the cave of the Half-Step Great Power Lian Lei, the Half-Step Great Power Lian Lei looked at the phantom clone and for a moment he didn't know how to deal with the phantom clone.

Lian Lei, who was half a step away from becoming a great power, really mistook the phantom clone for Li Shiming. He knew that Li Shiming had the clue to the treasure of the great power Luo Yuan, the 'Shenxiao Thunder Pearl'.

From the information from Yuqing Sect, we know that the thunder magic performed by Li Shiming was felt by the monks of Yuqing Sect many times as the aura of 'Shenxiao Thunder Pearl', which means that Li Shiming has obtained the 'Shenxiao Thunder Pearl'.

However, Li Shiming had used some unknown means to hide the "Shenxiao Thunder Pearl". Even Luo Yuan, the owner of the "Shenxiao Thunder Pearl", could not sense the location of the "Shenxiao Thunder Pearl".

Considering the temper of Lian Lei, the half-step great master, the best way now is to kill Li Shiming.

But if he really did that, then the clue to Luo Yuan Da Neng's "Shen Xiao Lei Zhu" would be gone, and the main task that Luo Yuan Da Neng sent him here was this.

He controlled his big hand, and dozens of complex runes appeared on it. These runes sank from the big hand into the body of the phantom clone.

He then let go of his big hand, and the phantom clone floated in the same place, but had lost control of his body.

In fact, even if he didn't do this, the strength of the phantom clone would not have any effect on him.

No matter how weak a half-step great power is, he is still a half-step great power. In his own cave, he is a god, a god who controls everything.

The phantom clone is in the cave, and he can control the phantom clone with just a thought.

"Su Tong is such a waste!" After doing all this, Lian Lei, who was half a step away from becoming a great power, said to himself with some annoyance.

In his opinion, the reason why he was trapped here was entirely because of Master Su Tong.

He captured the most powerful phantom clone and brought it into the cave. With Master Su Tong's strength as a thunder cultivator of the Yuqing Sect, he could not even escape, let alone defeat the cultivators of the Wanshou Sect.

He didn't know that when Li Shiming sensed the conspiracy against him through his phantom clone, the first thing he thought of was that the enemy must be extremely powerful.

So he released four late-stage golden corpses at the first moment. Although Lian Lei, a half-step great master, captured the phantom clone, the strength of the four late-stage golden corpses was enough to kill the great monk Su Tong in an instant.

Lian Lei, a half-step great master, blamed the great monk Su Tong, but he was also helpless. Now the space outside was blocked, and he wanted to break it open, but attacking the outside from the cave heaven had to be done through the space anchor point between the cave heaven and the outside world.

Now that the spatial anchor point was blocked, his attacks could not determine the target.

In particular, he tried it again and found that the blockade of the space anchor point had increased several times in intensity for some reason.

In this way, even if he wanted to try to attack by force, he couldn't do it. The space blockade almost made him lose contact with the immortal world outside the cave.

"Li Shizhen, remove the blockade of the space outside, otherwise I will not be polite!" Lian Lei, a half-step great man, set his eyes on the phantom clone and threatened in a deep voice.

The phantom clone glanced back at him indifferently, with an attitude of letting him be dealt with.

Lian Lei, the half-step great master, smiled coldly. Although he had not used the means of torturing monks for many years, his skills were not rusty at all.

His figure flashed and appeared beside the phantom clone, with a hand filled with lightning placed on the phantom clone's body.

Lightning entered the body of the phantom clone. This lightning was different from ordinary lightning. It was a kind of lightning that could cause pain to cultivators. It was a small trick developed by Lian Lei, a half-step great man, in his early years.

The moment Li Shiming felt the pain, he cut off the perception connection with his phantom clone.

As lightning entered the phantom clone's body, it began to tremble constantly, and all the muscles in its body tensed.

But because Li Shiming severed the sensory connection, the phantom clone actually only had instinctive feelings and no real sense of pain. The trembling and trembling of the body were all instinctive reactions of the body after being invaded by lightning.

Lian Lei, a half-step great master, saw that the phantom clone was still holding on, so he increased the input of lightning. However, no matter how much he increased the input, he could not make the phantom clone utter even a scream.

“What a hard bone! I learned some magic skills before, and it seems I can use them all on you!” Lian Lei, a half-step great man, stopped the input of lightning and said in a deep voice.

He shot out a beam of black energy, which invaded the body of the phantom clone and immediately corroded every part of the body.

This kind of evil practice not only brings pain, but also all kinds of unbearable suffering.

But this time his efforts were still in vain, as the phantom clone still did not react at all.

Next, Lian Lei, who was half a step away from becoming a great power, tried many other methods, even using the method of torturing the soul, until finally, he had no way to deal with the phantom clone.

The phantom clone was not without impact either. After a long period of torture, the phantom clone's body suffered considerable damage.

In other words, Lian Lei, who was half a step away from becoming a great master, did not want the phantom clone to die, so he paid attention to the degree of torture, otherwise the phantom clone would have already died.

“What a strong will. But no matter how much you insist, Yuqing Sect will definitely send cultivators over. With you here, Wanshou Sect can’t stop Yuqing Sect’s attack at all!” Seeing that punishment was useless, Lian Lei, a half-step great man, resorted to verbal offensive.

Li Shiming then reconnected with the phantom clone's perception. The moment the connection was established, he sensed the injuries on the phantom clone's body.

Fortunately, the worst pain has passed and the pain caused by the injury is not strong.

"The Yuqing Sect doesn't dare to come to Dongqi Continent!" the phantom clone replied with certainty.

Lian Lei, a half-step great master, looked helplessly at the unyielding phantom clone and for a moment he had no way to deal with the phantom clone.

He had tried every possible way to torture him before, but now he couldn't really kill the phantom clone.

He stopped talking and waited for rescue from Yuqing Sect.

In his opinion, if Li Shiming was captured by him, the only thing he could do was for the Yuqing Sect to send monks to come and take away the objects carried by the cave anchor point.

When the phantom clone saw that Lian Lei, who had reached the half-step level of great power, had stopped talking, he finally had time to carefully look at the environment of this cave.

The cave has been constructed. In addition to the strongest lightning rules, there are also many basic rules. However, the levels of these basic rules are not high, and they only enrich the rule system within the cave.

He looked at the thunderclouds in the sky, where lightning flashed.

As a top monk who also mastered the 'Jade Purity Thunder Code', he could get the most feelings when observing the rules of thunder and lightning in this cave.

Of course, as a failed half-step great power, there is not much for him to learn from Lian Lei, the half-step great power.

However, as an example, the lightning rules of Lian Lei Dongtian, a half-step great master, are still worth studying.

As time went by, the Yuqing Sect was still waiting for news about the Half-Step Great Power Lian Lei, but no news about Lian Lei was heard.

Moreover, after the full-scale investigation by the Wanshou Sect, the intelligence personnel left behind by the Yuqing Sect in the Dongqi Continent suffered a heavy blow.

Li Shiming played a role in finding out the intelligence personnel of Yuqing Sect.

Li Shiming asked several super powers for secret help in exchange for alchemy. The intelligence capabilities of these super powers far exceeded that of the Ten Thousand Beasts Sect. In addition, as they were all super powers, some intelligence information was exchanged. It was easy for them to find the intelligence personnel left behind by the Yuqing Sect in the Dongqi Continent.

The Yuqing Sect was unable to obtain any intelligence from the Dongqi Continent, but judging from the fact that Li Shiming was still refining pills for great monks from all over the place, Li Shiming had not been attacked by the Half-Step Great Power Lian Lei.

Time passed quickly. The Yuqing Sect tried every possible means to find out the information about the great monk Su Tong and the half-step great master Lian Lei, but there was no result in two years.

During these two years, Li Shiming stayed in the floating cave of the Ten Thousand Beasts Sect, accompanying Yin Shilan in his life.

He just divided several brains into analyzing the rules of thunder and lightning in the cave of Lian Lei, a half-step great master.

Through the eyes and perception of the phantom clone, and referring to the lightning rules in the thunderclouds of the half-step great master Lian Lei, Li Shiming's understanding of the lightning rules was further enhanced.

Even though Lian Lei, who was half a step away from becoming a great master, had taken the wrong path, he was still ahead of Li Shiming in terms of his understanding of the rules of thunder and lightning.

As for whether there are some problems in the lightning rules of the Half-Step Great Power Lian Lei, Li Shiming has the help of IBM z15 to analyze, and he can always avoid these problems and will not repeat the mistakes of the Half-Step Great Power Lian Lei.

Lian Lei, who was half a step away from becoming a great power, probably never imagined that his phantom clone was locked in a cave, while the rules of his own cave were being constantly comprehended by Li Shiming.

With the help of this kind of comprehension, Li Shiming improved his understanding of the rules of thunder and lightning.

Under normal circumstances, it is impossible to enter the cave of a half-step great power. The cave is related to the future of the half-step great power, and any slight influence may cause serious consequences.
