Li Zhiming has rich combat experience and outstanding talent in martial arts.

But Ji Ling'er is even worse.

As the saying goes, there is always someone better than you.

If the corpse collection system had not suddenly appeared, it would have been impossible to pursue a genius of Ji Ling'er's level.

But now it’s different, Li Zhiming has a corpse collection system.

He believed that as long as he gave himself enough time, he would be able to reach Ji Ling'er's level, or even surpass her!

The flashes of swords and sabers were still going on, and every time they collided, a bright spark exploded.

At this time, Ji Ling'er frowned, she found that this Li Zhiming was very unusual.

It’s not that his talent is so outstanding, but his fighting skills and martial arts proficiency have reached the pinnacle of the seventh level.

As the mortal enemy of Zhenyuan Sect, she naturally had many battles with the disciples of Zhenyuan Sect.

Moreover, the ones he faced were all geniuses from the Zhenyuan Sect.

The most well-known skills and martial arts in Zhenyuan Sect.

Qingmu Jue, Bengquan, Zhaiyingbu, etc.

She had seen its power.

Li Zhiming knows all these skills and martial arts.

Moreover, his proficiency level could definitely rank among the top ten, or even top five, among the Zhenyuan Sect disciples he had met!

"Tian Yin Sword Technique!"

"Shadow of Thorn!"

Ji Linger failed to attack after a long time, so she dodged and retreated, gathering the surging frosty energy with her fingers and letting it slide across the sword.

I saw that the spiritual weapon in her hand was covered with frost, and the icy and biting true energy slowly spread out, forming a thin layer of mist.

Li Zhiming took a long breath and calmed the restless true energy in his body.

He is worthy of being the strongest among the younger generation of the Hehuan Sect.

Its fighting power is so strong that it is amazing.

He has now cultivated his martial arts and skills to perfection, enough to make up for the gap in realm between him and the sixth-grade warrior.

But facing Ji Ling'er, it is still not enough.

The battle just now seemed to be a 50-50 fight, but in fact Li Zhiming was at a disadvantage and had been resisting the whole time. He could only look for an opportunity to find Ji Linger's gap and launch a counterattack.

But they were all resolved one by one by Ji Ling'er.

"Li Zhiming, you are very good!"

"He practices the Qingmu Jue of the Zhenyuan Sect, but possesses the true qi of thunder and fire attributes."

"This is the first time I have seen a genius like you. Your fighting ability and martial arts talent are enough to rank among the top five people I have ever seen in my life!"

"I never thought that Zhenyuan Sect has a disciple as gifted as you."

"It's a pity that Zhenyuan Sect didn't cherish you, abolished your cultivation, and imprisoned you in Xuyuan Prison."

"This Saint will give you one last chance. Come with me to leave Zhenyuan Sect and join our Hehuan Sect. After returning to the sect, I will ask Master to grant you the title of Saint Son."

"From now on, you will be my equal, second only to me in the Hehuan Sect!"

"What do you think?"

Ji Ling'er urged the sword while persuading him.

Her tone and expression were very sincere, and it seemed that she really wanted to win Li Zhiming over.

"Will you join the Hehuan Sect?"

Li Zhiming talked to himself, and at this moment, the past came flooding back to his mind.

The conspiracy of Tian Yaoyao and Qi Yang, a pair of bad guys.

The intrigues within the sect.

The Penalty Hall abolished his cultivation without a thorough investigation and demoted him to a jailer.

In Qingluan Peak, except for Qin Chuan, with whom he had a very good relationship, none of his fellow disciples spoke up for him.

The past events were vivid in his mind, and Li Zhiming suddenly felt sad.

When Ji Ling'er saw Li Zhiming was silent, her eyes changed slightly.

“There’s hope!”

"Li Zhiming, this opportunity is rare. Others who want to join our Hehuan Sect are not qualified yet." Ji Linger continued to persuade.

The pleasant sound like wind chimes brought Li Zhiming back to his senses.

His eyes suddenly became firm.

"Witch, don't waste your energy. Even if I really don't want to stay in Zhenyuan Sect, I will not join Hehuan Sect."

Li Zhiming replied indifferently.

How could he easily leave Zhenyuan Sect when he has not yet avenged his great hatred?

What's more, Qin Chuan was waiting for him in the inner sect to go back and have a drink.

In this Xuyuan, he has Senior Sister Mingzhu who takes good care of him, and there is also Elder Qin, who values ​​him so much, how could he disappoint Elder Qin?

"If you are still stubborn, then you will die!"

Ji Ling'er's sword was already ready to go. As soon as she finished speaking, she turned into a black shadow and rushed out.

When the long sword in his hand was swung, the sharp sword energy rolled up the cold mist and scattered.

When Li Zhiming saw Ji Ling'er rushing towards him, his expression suddenly became solemn.

“So fast!”

Li Zhiming first stepped back, then shouted loudly.

A powerful sword force surged up, and the green bone blade in his hand trembled slightly, making a rapid sword sound.

This is Lingwu. After refining the spirit, one possesses a certain spirituality. This is the excitement shown after encountering a strong opponent.

"Autumn leaves falling!"

A sharp cold light flashed across Li Zhiming's eyes.

His figure flickered back and forth.

But Ji Ling'er had a very strong eyesight, and no matter how Li Zhiming moved, she could accurately capture Li Zhiming's movements.

"it's useless."

"That's it!"

Ji Ling'er locked onto Li Zhiming's final position and thrust out with the sword in her hand.

The icy energy was so cold that it pierced the bones. The water vapor in the cell was frozen into frost and slowly fell. The air was torn apart, and a sharp whistling sound of the wind broke out.

Li Zhiming looked at the long sword coming towards him.

His face was solemn, and a gleam of light flashed in his eyes, "Good opportunity!"

A smile flashed across Li Zhiming's lips.

He has been waiting for this opportunity for a long time.

"Youyunwu!"

Li Zhiming whispered in his heart, and the You Yun Wu that he had been hiding was performed.

Ji Ling'er would never have expected that she also possessed a hidden skill of top-level Xuan-level body movement.

This is the move that determines victory or defeat!

"Goodbye, Li Zhiming. I'm sorry for killing you. After all, I value talents."

Ji Linger stabbed down with her sword, confident of victory.

However, the next second her face changed drastically and her pupils suddenly contracted.

Because the sword in her hand missed the target!

That’s right, it just missed!

When facing a seventh-grade warrior whose realm was much lower than his, he actually missed!

Ji Ling'er didn't have time to think about it. She swung the sword in her hand and shattered Li Zhiming's afterimage in just a few strokes.

"Afterimage?!"

"This is... a high-level martial art of physical movement!"

Ji Ling'er's eyes rolled around, she turned around suddenly, swung her sword to the side, and slashed upwards.

Li Zhiming appeared at the same time, bent down to dodge, raised his arm and swung his sword, and the sharp sword energy slashed towards Ji Linger's abdomen.

"What an exquisite body movement!"

"Earth level? Or the top level of Profound level?"

Ji Ling'er was surprised, but she did not dodge. Instead, she exerted force, turned the sword, and slashed downwards at an incredible angle.

This kind of sword-wielding technique can only be performed by extremely powerful sword practitioners and warriors who have perfect control over their own strength.

It is easier said than done to interrupt your ongoing offensive.

Because if you are not careful, you will suffer a severe backlash!

A warrior will not do this unless he has no other choice.

After being hit back, the combat effectiveness will be damaged to a certain extent, and even the outcome of the battle will be changed to a certain extent.

"Um?"

Li Zhiming felt the chill coming from above.

He frowned slightly, "Is she crazy?"

While Li Zhiming was surprised, the long sword in his hand did not stop.

He still couldn't believe it. This witch didn't defend her weakest abdomen, but instead took the risk to exchange injuries with him!

"Li Zhiming, you're not going to stop yet?!"

Ji Ling'er was also surprised.

She forced herself to stop and change her moves, slashing straight at Li Zhiming's waist. If this move hits, Li Zhiming will definitely die!

But even so, Li Zhiming still had no intention of stopping.

"What are you trying to do, exchange death for injury?"

"Or does he have some life-saving treasure like spiritual armor?"

Ji Ling'er was guessing in her heart, she gritted her teeth and maintained her sword stance.

Now, it’s a competition of who is more ruthless!

At the same time, the thought that flashed through Li Zhiming's mind was the same as Ji Ling'er's.

"This demon girl didn't even try to hide. Could it be that she has some spiritual armor to save her life?"

Both of them gritted their teeth, held sharp weapons in hand, and rushed towards the opponent's open space.

Just as it was about to hit.

Ji Ling'er and Li Zhiming achieved perfect synchronization.

They both adjusted their bodies at the same time.

As a result, the two men's killing moves also lost their original power.

But what you gain is that your body is able to dodge the opponent's fierce attack, and even if you are hit, you will not be seriously injured.

Swish~!

The long knife hit Ji Ling'er's side.

The long sword hit Li Zhiming's side.

Urgent voices sounded at the same time.

The clothes of the two men were cut open, revealing the armor underneath.

Two sharp blades slashed across the spiritual armor, creating a series of sparks.

When Li Zhiming and Ji Ling'er saw this scene, their faces changed at the same time.

The two of them spun in the air to release the force and then fell to the ground.

The green and purple-gold wooden armor blocked Ji Linger's sword, leaving a clearly visible white mark.

From this we can see how powerful Ji Linger's sword is.

If it was a lower-grade spiritual armor, it might have been cut open.

But even so, Li Zhiming did not completely block this move.

Because Ji Ling'er's sword energy surged into his body and rampaged through it.

Li Zhiming hurriedly mobilized the true energy in his body to extinguish the sword energy, but he still suffered a certain impact. His blood and energy were churning and a stream of blood flowed from the corner of his mouth.

Ji Ling'er fell down while spinning in the air, her red skirt fluttering like an umbrella.

She glanced at her waist and saw a faint white mark on the light blue inner armor.

"This knife can actually leave a mark on my top-grade spiritual armor. Li Zhiming, I recognize your strength!"

Ji Linger smiled. She glanced at Li Zhiming's waist. It was obviously a spiritual armor, and its grade was no less than medium grade. Otherwise, it would be impossible to block her sword.

"Witch, you used the method of faking your death to deceive the world, but your strength has also been severely suppressed."

"You can't do anything to me now. Instead of resisting, you might as well surrender or commit suicide here." Li Zhiming said calmly.

“Hahaha, even if the leader of Zhenyuan Sect came here in person, this Saint Girl would never commit suicide.”

"Why, do you want me to commit suicide and then use your dirty hands to offend this Saint?"

"You kid, you look handsome, but you're probably a slut secretly." Ji Ling'er smiled faintly.

She didn't look nervous at all, as if she wasn't worried at all that the situation in the cell would be discovered by other people from the Zhenyuan Sect.

"Haha, why did the Saint say that I am 'also' a slut?"

"Then you, the saint..." Li Zhiming smiled with interest when he heard this.

“…”

Ji Linger frowned slightly, then gently waved the long sword in her hand.

"I will not talk nonsense with you anymore."

Before Ji Ling'er finished speaking, she started to make different seals with her hands.

Li Zhiming was surprised to find that the space barrier covering the cell had actually dispersed.

The spatial barrier at the door began to ripple gently, gradually blurring, and finally disappearing.

"What's the meaning?"

Li Zhiming was puzzled when he saw this.

Why did this evil woman take the initiative to disperse the space formation? Isn't this just walking into a trap?

"No, it's definitely not that simple!"

Li Zhiming knew that Ji Ling'er was not a fool.

She is the saint of the Hehuan Sect, and a ruthless person who dared to fake her death and sneak into Xuyuan Prison to cause trouble.

"Don't think you're the only one stalling for time. In fact, I've been stalling for time since the moment you stepped into the cell. Our plan has just begun."

"Now, everything is ready, we only lack the east wind!"

Ji Linger smiled faintly.

"you?!"

Li Zhiming captured the key words.

Obviously, Ji Ling'er was not the only one who sneaked into Xuyuan Prison.

Then who is the other one?

"Who's ahead?!"

A loud shout came from a distance.

The elders of Xuyuan Prison finally arrived.

Along with them came dozens of patrol captains, each of whom was a seventh-rank or even sixth-rank master!

The first to arrive was the elder who guarded the fifth floor of Xuyuan.

Li Zhiming had seen him before. He looked like a kind, fat elder with a big belly.

It is said that this elder's surname is Zhuge, and his realm is very high, not much weaker than Elder Qin.

"Elder Zhuge, it was the witch Ji Ling'er from the Hehuan Sect. She faked her death before!" Li Zhiming reminded.

"suspended animation?"

"How is it possible that she escaped the eyes of Elder Qin and me?" Elder Zhuge's expression changed slightly, and he immediately ordered, "All disciples retreat, this witch from the Hehuan Sect is not something you can handle!"

"Li Zhiming, you step aside too!"

When everyone heard this, they stopped and dispersed in all directions, including Li Zhiming.

"Witch, you dare to break into the Xuyuan Prison alone, you are simply courting death!"

"Haha, is Xuyuan Prison so scary? Didn't this saint lady still come in unscathed?" Ji Ling'er smiled faintly.

Facing the oncoming Elder Zhuge, her expression remained calm and she was not afraid at all.

"Hmph, your method of faking death must be the Breath-Extinguishing Pill made from an ancient secret recipe."

"After taking the elixir, although you can fake your death and conceal the truth, your own cultivation will be affected. Without a special elixir, you will not be able to recover in a short period of time."

Elder Zhuge snorted coldly.

He thought about it and thought that only the legendary Juexi Pill could hide from his and Elder Qin's eyes.

"So what?"

Ji Ling'er replied calmly.

"how?"

"die!"

Zhuge Xun's speed suddenly increased.

The moves were so fast that they were blurry, and the eyes of the disciples present could not follow them at all.

"So fast!" Li Zhiming could only barely keep up with Elder Zhuge's movements.

"Now, that witch should have nowhere to escape."

"Junior Brother Li, are you okay?" a disciple said beside Li Zhiming.

"I'm fine."

When Li Zhiming saw his disciple suddenly appear behind him, he subconsciously took a step back.

Ever since he learned from Ji Ling'er that she was not the only one who had sneaked into Xuyuan Prison, he became extremely vigilant.

Facing the fourth-level patrol captain approaching him, Li Zhiming had to be on guard.

"It's okay. You are a disciple that Elder Qin values. You cannot make any mistakes, otherwise we will be criticized." said the disciple.

Li Zhiming didn't say anything, but looked forward.

At this time, Elder Zhuge slapped Ji Ling'er with his palms.

Ji Ling'er frantically urged the internal energy in her body and her body flashed suddenly.

The speed is so fast that it blurs everything and even makes people's vision dazed for a moment.

"What the hell?"

The disciple next to Li Zhiming rubbed his eyes. He always felt that he was dazzled at that moment.

The same was true for Li Zhiming. He frowned and stared at Ji Ling'er.

The opponent actually dodged Elder Zhuge's attack.

Zhuge Xun's palm changed into a claw shape, and the attack that was sure to hit missed. His palm passed by Ji Ling'er's neck, and a powerful ball of true energy burst out in a flame at the same time.

"What a fast movement!?"

Li Zhiming immediately realized that Ji Ling'er was performing some very high-level physical skills.

Otherwise it would be impossible to dodge this attack.

"This Ji Ling'er, she held back in the battle just now, she is worthy of being the Holy Maiden of the Hehuan Sect!" Li Zhiming clenched his fists slightly.

After fighting with a truly extraordinary genius today, he realized the gap between them.

But this did not discourage him, but made him more motivated.

After Ji Ling'er narrowly avoided Zhuge Xun's attack, she retreated dozens of steps.

She stood on the railing of the corridor, and the wind blowing from the deep abyss made her long hair and skirt flutter slightly.

This scene looks very seductive.

"Something's wrong. Why is her aura increasing so rapidly?"

Li Zhiming frowned, feeling confused.

"Could it be that the side effects of the Absolute Breath Pill are beginning to disappear?"

Li Zhiming guessed.

"I won't play with you anymore. Bye!"

Before Ji Ling'er finished her words, she fell straight to the side. She stretched out the icy qi to protect her body and flew towards the depths of the abyss.

"All disciples, listen up and seal off the Xuyuan Prison."

"The rest of you go inform the elders at all levels, I'm going to chase that witch!"

"Li Zhiming, go to the third floor to inform Elder Qin, and come back quickly!" Zhuge Xun ordered.

"clear."

Li Zhiming bowed and accepted the order, then rushed directly to the third floor.

Elder Zhuge went after Ji Linger.

Even if that evil woman returned to her prime, she would not be able to escape.

But Li Zhiming was still a little worried.

Because until now he still doesn't know who Ji Ling'er's accomplice is and where he is hiding.

This feeling of having an enemy hiding in the dark and waiting for an opportunity to strike is really uncomfortable!

Li Zhiming quickly came to the third floor.

At this time, the third floor was in chaos, because the demons and evil cultivators imprisoned in the cells suddenly rioted and attacked the seal like crazy.

Li Zhiming had already anticipated this situation, and the other floors were probably starting to get restless as well.

It seemed as if all the prisoners were cooperating with the actions of that evil woman.

Li Zhiming looked around and continued to rush towards Elder Qin's cave.

When he came to the corner, he suddenly stopped and his eyes changed drastically.

"Something's wrong. It's so wrong!"

Li Zhiming murmured to himself, and the scenes that had just happened on the fourth floor flashed through his mind quickly.

Fierce fighting in the prison cell.

Ji Linger's smile after removing the space formation.

Elder Zhuge and his disciples arrived quickly.

There is also a brief fight between Elder Zhuge and Ji Ling'er.

Ji Ling'er's strength suddenly recovered rapidly.

All this seemed normal, but Li Zhiming felt that there was something weird about it.

“Is it possible?!”

"Impossible!" Li Zhiming suddenly had a shocking idea.

"Li Zhiming, follow me downstairs!"

Elder Qin came towards them. As soon as he noticed the situation, he flew out of the stone chamber.

Without stopping to wait for Li Zhiming, he jumped down directly and flew downwards from the huge pit of Xuyuan.

Li Zhiming nodded, turned around and followed.

"Junior Brother Li, wait for me, I'm going too!"

Mingzhu came out of her room and followed quickly.

"Senior Sister Mingzhu, please stay on the third floor. Elder Qin definitely doesn't want to see you go down. It's too dangerous!" Li Zhiming reminded.

"I am at least a sixth-rank warrior, and you, Junior Brother Li, are only a seventh-rank warrior. You are more dangerous."

"Besides, as disciples of Xuyuan Prison, how can we be afraid of danger?"

"Okay..." Li Zhiming found it difficult to refute and could only let Senior Sister Mingzhu catch up. He couldn't subdue Senior Sister Mingzhu anyway.

"Junior Brother Li, I've heard that the Hehuan Sect's enchantress Ji Ling'er is peerlessly beautiful and extremely talented. What do you think she looks like?" Mingzhu asked curiously.

"Wait, Senior Sister will see it naturally."

"That's right, let's go down quickly."

Mingzhu sped up and directly surpassed Li Zhiming.

Li Zhiming hurriedly followed, thinking about the idea that had just come to his mind while he was on the road.
