Upon hearing the black-robed youth's unfriendly tone, Li Ming's heart tightened, and he instantly realized the other party's identity.
Then I glanced at it.
Name: Qi Xuanyi
[Realm: Perfected Spirit Refinement]
[Entries: The True Meaning of Fist (Deep Crimson), Eight Desolate Fist (Crimson), Thunderfire True Body (Crimson), Martial Arts Prodigy (Crimson), Pure Heart (Blue), Obsessive Madness (Blue), Indifference to Emotions (Blue), Merciless Killing (White), Overwhelming Bad Luck (Gray)]
Seeing that Li Ming ignored him, Qi Xuan instantly roared in anger:
"I am Qi Xuanyi from the Qi family of Cangzhou. Who are you?"
Qi Xuanyi was exceptionally talented from a young age, unmatched by his peers, and received special training from his family. However, he was not interested in fame and fortune, but rather extremely passionate about martial arts.
Qi Jia has been in seclusion for many years cultivating the Thunderfire True Skill. This skill requires martial artists to temper their bodies with lightning and refine their bodies with true fire until they cultivate a true body.
This extreme pain is something that even someone with a mind of steel might not be able to endure.
Qi Xuanyi, however, cultivated the Thunderfire True Body through sheer effort, mastering thunder and fire, making him invincible.
His tremendous achievements earned him the reputation of being a once-in-a-century genius in the Qi family, but they also fostered his obsessive personality.
"He must have come for this demon blood essence... It seems we can't get away easily."
Li Ming narrowed his eyes; the other party's intentions were easy to guess.
Thinking of this, Li Ming said in a deep voice, "Li Ming of the Six Doors, what's wrong... If this demon kills me, can't I kill this demon?"
"Li Ming?"
Qi Xuan frowned, somewhat surprised, and stared at Li Ming, saying calmly:
"You are much more powerful than I imagined. Although this demon was injured, it was not something that an ordinary Refinement Realm martial artist could handle. It was indeed not easy for you to kill it!"
When Qi Xuan first heard that Li Ming had killed Qi Ming of the Qi family, he was dismissive, after all, his status was much higher than Li Ming's and their talents were not on the same level. However, after hearing that Li Ming had also killed Cao Lang of the Zhanlong Gang, he began to think more highly of him.
After all, Cao Lang was quite powerful; he could act tyrannically in a prefecture.
But unexpectedly, the opponent actually killed a mid-level demon.
Li Ming did not answer the other party directly, but calmly said:
"So, Young Master Qi, is there anything else?"
"It's nothing, I'll be going now."
Seeing that Li Ming seemed to be about to leave.
"I have ten Spirit Nourishing Pills here, top-grade pills for those cultivating in the Spirit Refining Realm. How about exchanging them for the demon blood essence you possess?"
Qi Xuanyi quickly said in a deep voice.
"Li doesn't need it."
After saying that, Li Ming ignored him and prepared to leave, but in reality, he became wary.
The demon blood essence is obviously extremely precious, while the Nourishing Spirit Pill, although also valuable, has a stable source. Although expensive, its value is definitely not as high as the demon blood essence.
Qi Xuanyi is clearly determined to get his hands on this thing, so things are probably going to get complicated...
As expected, upon seeing the negotiations break down, Qi Xuan showed no intention of raising the price. His eyes flashed with murderous intent as he stared at Li Ming as if he were eyeing a rare prey. He coldly snorted and said:
"Hmph, I was hoping to have a proper talk with you, but I didn't expect you to be so arrogant. You killed this demon, do you think you can stand up to me?"
"I'm determined to have the demon's blood essence... otherwise, don't force me to take action!"
Qi Xuanyi's gaze seemed to pierce through Li Ming, and his tone was extremely unfriendly.
"Kill me? Qi Xuanyi, you don't think... just because you're from the Qi family, you can act with impunity!"
Li Ming's eyes were filled with murderous intent, and his tone became increasingly cold.
If he hadn't been worried that the other party might not have come alone, he would have already made his move. Did they really think he wouldn't dare to kill someone?
Qi Xuan's expression flickered, and he said coldly:
"Now that you know who I am, how can you still be so arrogant?"
"If you hand over this demon blood essence, I will forgive and forget your past offenses against the Qi family. I can even invite you to join the Qi family and help you on your path of martial arts!"
"Of course, you can refuse, but... I'm the kind of person who does things very cleanly. Even if you die here, no one will know."
Moreover, so that you won't be alone in the afterlife, I will send each of your relatives and friends to visit you.
Qi Xuanyi completely disregarded Li Ming.
Even if Li Ming were at his peak, he would not be afraid, especially since his opponent had probably already expended a lot of energy killing the demons.
Having powerful backers is more important than having powerful connections.
He is the pride of the Qi family, with a martial saint in charge of the family. Although Li Ming is a member of the Six Doors, so what?
Even the imperial court would not easily take action against the Qi family.
In this desolate wilderness, who would know that he was the one who killed him?
Looking at Qi Xuanyi's arrogant face, Li Ming couldn't help but feel a surge of anger.
Qi Xuanyi's arrival right after he killed the demons was suspicious; he didn't believe there wasn't something fishy going on. In his eyes, such a person was more despicable than the demons.
After all, demons and humans have a blood feud that is irreconcilable. For demons to kill people is just like for martial artists to hunt beasts—it's only natural.
Qi Xuan, despite being a human, did not treat those weaker than him as his own. After accepting the mission to slay demons, he mostly had other ideas, allowing the demons to run rampant. Now, he even wanted to seize his spoils.
"I think you're asking for it!"
Li Ming's face was as cold as ice, and the killing intent in his eyes was undisguised.
"Hehe, that's right... Let me show you what it means for the strong to be respected!"
Upon seeing Li Ming's anger and murderous intent, Qi Xuan couldn't help but laugh, his arrogance and conceit undisguised.
"Let me show you what a real gap is!"
"Does he really think he's some kind of genius just because he rose to prominence in this remote place?!"
"Innocent!"
Before he finished speaking, Qi Xuan moved swiftly.
With his five fingers clenched together, a powerful fist intent, dominating the entire world, poured out, its strength and true energy merging together, and fiercely struck towards Li Ming.
Lightning surged from the enormous fist, thunder roared, and scorching sparks flew with it, unleashing a torrent of power capable of scorching rivers and boiling seas!
This punch, propelled by thunder and fire, was both incredibly fast and domineering!
Eight Desolate Fist, Thunder and Fire Skill!
The fist is power. On Qi Xuanyi's fist is a sign of sweeping across the eight wastelands and being the only one who is supreme!
With the power to destroy minds, they overwhelm people with their power!
This is a battle between powerful grandmaster martial artists, not only a clash of strength, but also a struggle for martial will.
In the realm of powerful martial arts, if a martial artist has not grasped its true meaning, the moves they execute can only be described as having form but no substance!
Although Qi Xuanyi outwardly looked down on Li Ming, he was actually quite clear-headed. He was astonished that the other party could slay a grandmaster and kill demons, and knew that Li Ming was no weakling.
But he also didn't believe that such a young martial artist could possess such profound martial arts skills.
boom!
The overwhelming fist intent roared in, seemingly intent on killing Li Ming with a single punch!
However……
"Throughout the eight directions and six realms, I am invincible?"
Sensing the domineering intent of the fist, Li Ming simply nodded slightly.
That's pretty good boxing!
It can't compare to his Overlord Fist, but compared to other fist techniques, it's still extremely strong.
The opponent's fist intent was also the strongest he had ever encountered.
"However, it's still a bit lacking."
