"Cough cough..."
Li Ming's face turned deathly pale. Looking at the blood in his palm, he regulated his breathing for a long time before finally moving his body.
He had just unleashed a burst of power, exhausting his bloodline strength to display this unparalleled power.
This move allowed him to break through his opponent's desperate attack, but it also depleted his vital energy. If it weren't for his strong foundation, he probably wouldn't even be able to stand.
Looking at the figure in the distance that resembled a dead dog, Li Ming finally felt relieved. He had exhausted all his means and ultimately won!
Moreover, the opponent was also a highly talented martial artist at his peak.
Having recovered, Li Ming took a step forward, looked down at Chu Tongshen lying on the ground, and said quietly:
"I thought you were so arrogant and strong... but I didn't expect your strength to be so nothing special."
Chu Tongshen, having burned his own life force and been struck by Li Ming's powerful punch, had no chance to resist. His eyes were filled with resentment and venom as he whispered:
“Li Ming… if you kill me, the Chu family will not let you off the hook.”
"If you spare my life, I can take you to find this legacy."
Looking at the other party's humble demeanor, Li Ming said calmly:
"Wouldn't it be better if I killed you and kept this inheritance all to myself?"
What good would it do me to be with you... Do you think you're the only one in the world who knows the secret of this little cauldron?
Chu Tongshen smiled, a hint of pleasure in his eyes:
"Heh... You won't benefit from killing me either."
On the contrary, if you spare my life, I can help you obtain this inheritance.
"Let me tell you, this cauldron is a heirloom left by an ancestor of my Chu family. It's useless for you to have it; without the bloodline of the Chu family, you cannot activate its secrets."
"If you spread the word to other members of the Chu family, do you think they would cooperate with you?"
Upon hearing this, Li Ming instantly understood.
He had tried many methods to get this small cauldron before, including infusing it with true qi and dripping it with blood. He never expected that it would require the bloodline of the Chu family.
The Yi family obtained this small cauldron, but they were never able to obtain the inheritance within it. It turned out that what they obtained was not pure.
If he doesn't cooperate with Chu Tongshen in front of him, he will need to cooperate with another member of the Chu family.
"In that case, wouldn't it be fine if I just let you use your blood to activate it?"
Li Ming said calmly.
"Hmph... How could it be so simple? Even if you activated the small cauldron, you only know the location. Without me, how can you obtain the inheritance of my Chu family?"
Chu Tongshen stared at Li Ming, a glimmer of hope appearing deep in his eyes. As long as Li Ming didn't kill him for the time being, that would be enough.
However, he wasn't lying; those who weren't of the Chu family bloodline wouldn't receive the benefits of this inheritance.
Li Ming stared intently at the other person, and could tell that Chu Tongshen was not lying.
However... he cannot be controlled by him.
"I still want to give it a try."
A murderous glint flashed in Li Ming's eyes, and then he raised his arm, a stream of true energy slowly condensing.
"Um?"
"If you kill me, you won't even know where I am!"
When Chu Tongshen saw Li Ming raise his hand, he immediately sensed something was wrong and shouted:
"Spare my life, and if you take me with you, I'll give you everything you want!"
"You can seal my power, I..."
boom!
With a hardened heart, Li Ming did not hesitate at all, raising his hand to deliver a fatal blow. The powerful true energy directly shattered Chu Tongshen's chest, and a loud sound erupted instantly.
Blood splattered, and the other person died completely.
[Slay Chu Tongshen and gain life energy.]
[Reversal of Fate activated, can seize entries...]
Upon seeing the system notification on the panel, Li Ming immediately chose to seize the [Purple Blood Battle Body] attribute.
This entry contains the bloodline of the Chu family.
Li Ming recognized this point and decisively chose to integrate this entry.
This would not only elevate his [divine and demonic bloodline] to a higher level, but might also allow him to be considered a member of the Chu family bloodline, which is the Overlord bloodline.
The fighting has ceased.
At this moment, the imperial court warriors watching the battle naturally felt triumphant.
If Li Ming were to be killed in public by a martial artist with unknown supernatural powers, it would cause a great upheaval.
After all, this is breaking the rules.
In the Great Xuan Dynasty, the relationship between the imperial court and the martial arts world is very delicate.
Both sides will exercise restraint and will not easily engage in a battle between Grandmasters or even those stronger than Grandmasters.
If a prodigy from the imperial court clashes with a prodigy from a sect and is killed, the imperial court will not take drastic action.
The reverse is also true, which is why the Dragon Slayer Gang has never denounced Li Ming.
They even had to apologize to the imperial court to appease the situation.
But now that Li Ming has killed a martial arts master with supernatural powers, the prestige of the imperial court has greatly increased. This means that even a master with supernatural powers who wants to cause trouble by force will die!
"Sir, are you alright?"
Li Ming had regained some strength by this time. Although his momentum had weakened considerably, his breathing was still stable. Seeing the group approaching, he felt much more at ease and said softly:
"It's alright... This madman openly attacked an official of the imperial court; he deserves to die!"
He is now a Golden Constable of the Six Doors, a proper official of the imperial court.
The governor of the Six Doors, for example, held a first-rank position in the imperial court, wielding great power and influence.
A constable like him was equivalent to a seventh-rank official.
Seeing that Li Ming was unharmed, everyone present breathed a sigh of relief, their eyes then filled with fervor:
"Congratulations, sir, for slaying a Grandmaster of Divine Power. I doubt anyone will dare to question your ranking on the Human Ranking now."
"A little bit of fame is nothing to brag about."
Li Ming didn't really want to become famous, because the higher his reputation, the more anxious his enemies would become, and he was even a little afraid that they would turn against him...
Take it slow. Someone like Chu Tongshen, who brings good fortune, is perfect. He's weaker than Chu Tongshen, but he can still provide him with a clue to a lucky opportunity.
"This person's identity... seems to be a remnant of the Heavenly Saint Sect."
Li Ming said calmly.
Instead of telling the truth, he directly pinned the blame on Tianshengmen.
Anyway, the other party has always been wanted by the police, so they don't need this little bit of blame.
"Tian Sheng Men? How dare they... Sir, go back and rest assured to recover from your injuries. I will definitely bring this Tian Sheng Men to justice and make them pay the price."
The person who spoke was the magistrate of Qingping County.
As the lord of the city, he naturally hated this madman to the extreme.
Many powerful martial artists in the martial arts world rely on their strength and never think about the nearby cities or the people when they fight. This is the tragedy of the weak.
If Li Ming hadn't deliberately taken the other party away, not only would the people in the inn have suffered, but Qingping City would have been in no better shape.
...
World War I has come to an end.
Li Mingqing counted his spoils and found quite a few good things on Chu Tongshen.
Bloodthirsty Halberd
[Rank]: [Grade 1 Spiritual Weapon]
[Entry]: [Bloodlust (Red), Amplification (Red), Hundred-Forged Mystic Weapon (Red), Transformation (Blue)]
This spirit halberd has almost reached the level of transforming into a pseudo-divine weapon.
"A hundred-forged mystical weapon? This halberd is more for providing combat power to the weapon master, and it can also change size. It is indeed a first-grade spiritual weapon... but it is not suitable for me."
Li Ming gently stroked the halberd, a glint of something eerie appearing in his eyes.
Forged a hundred times, it becomes a top-grade spiritual weapon.
It is said that a weapon forged five hundred times is a pseudo-divine weapon. A true divine weapon not only requires a martial god to forge, but its base material must also be a divine object, which cannot be forged with ordinary spiritual materials.
It's a pity that Li Ming doesn't know any halberd techniques either. If a suitable halberd technique comes along in the future, he can learn it. With his comprehension and the [Myriad Martial Arts] attribute, it shouldn't be too difficult for him.
The remaining gains included about a hundred spirit crystals and some spiritual materials.
And some miscellaneous items, including some high-grade cultivation manuals and some pills whose names were unknown.
His gaze fell upon these manuals, and after perusing them, he felt disappointed.
These techniques are just ordinary grandmaster-level martial arts; the opponent didn't bring any of the skills he had learned with him.
To his surprise, he saw several pages containing information about the Overlord Cauldron, the small bronze cauldron that Li Ming was carrying.
According to the above statement, this item was left behind by a Martial Saint-level expert from the Chu family.
This small tripod serves as an indicator.
After the Chu family members activate the area with their blood and true energy, they can be guided to the location of the secret realm.
Go there and you will receive the legacy of this powerful figure... and it is specifically stated that only members of the Chu family can receive this benefit.
See here.
After writing down how to activate it, Li Ming's expression hardened, and he immediately began to try it out.
Using true qi to guide the blood, slowly drip it into the small cauldron.
I waited quietly for several breaths.
There was no response.
Li Mingzheng thought he had failed.
Suddenly, a line of red text appeared on the small cauldron.
"Yunzhou, Taihang Mountains, February 18th..."
