The Qingyun Sword Sect, located in Liyang County of Cangzhou, has a history of several hundred years and has been developing rapidly.
After the former sword master broke through to the Martial Saint realm, he led his sect to annex many other sects, continuously strengthening the foundation of the Qingyun Sword Sect.
Now that sword master has retreated to the background to cultivate, his cultivation has become increasingly profound, and he has vaguely broken through to the second rank. The current sword master is also a great talent and is about to break through to the Martial Saint.
The Qingyun Sword Sect gradually began to rise to the ranks of first-class forces.
This Blazing Sun Mountain is one of the mountains it annexed, and it has abundant Blazing Sun mineral resources, with a very small probability of producing Blazing Sun Mystic Crystals.
Therefore, the Qingyun Sword Sect attaches great importance to this mine and always sends many experts to guard it to prevent it from being plundered by other forces.
Inside the mine, there were a large number of martial artists guarding it, all of whom wore sharp swords at their waists and possessed strong blood and qi.
"It's getting late, it's time to bring Elder Xing some food..."
"Let's go, or we'll be in big trouble if it gets too late and the elders are unhappy."
Two young-looking disciples of the Qingyun Sword Sect, one carrying two jars of wine and the other carrying two bamboo baskets of food, could be smelled from afar.
As the resident elder, Xing Wuming naturally did not live inside the mine, but instead built a wooden house outside for his own cultivation.
The daily meals were delivered by the resident disciples.
The two chatted as they walked forward.
call!
Suddenly, the two felt their vision go black and they instantly lost consciousness.
The items in his hands were caught by two streams of true energy, allowing them to land safely without any damage.
Li Ming dragged the two men into the nearby bushes and killed them. He then changed one of their clothes and, based on the other's appearance, gave him a simple disguise. While not exactly the same, the resemblance was about 70-80%, making it difficult for someone who wasn't particularly familiar with him to tell them apart.
Li Ming's plan was simple: since he was there to assassinate Xing Wuming, he might as well play it professionally, pretend to be a disciple delivering food to Xing Wuming, then catch him off guard, kill him, and leave gracefully.
Originally, Li Ming wanted to add some "seasoning" to the food, but after thinking about it, he realized that poisons that could work on Grandmaster level experts were not common and he couldn't get them in a short time, so he gave up on that idea.
It can only be said that he was not well prepared.
"Okay, it's in the wooden house up ahead."
Li Ming did not linger. Carrying the food and wine jar, he set off forward.
This wooden house is where Xing Wuming usually lives, and he is generally not disturbed by others.
"There's a sharp aura inside; that must be Xing Wuming..."
Li Ming could sense the other party's powerful aura simply by standing outside the wooden house. There was no attempt to conceal it, which was probably to deter the thieves who were eyeing the mine.
Just as Li Ming approached, a deep voice came from inside:
"Just let it in."
Li Ming pushed open the door and saw Xing Wuming himself. The man looked to be in his thirties, with a cold expression and piercing eyes that gave him a sharp look. He was very burly, with muscles as taut as iron, making him appear exceptionally strong.
Name: Xing Wuming
[Cultivation Level: Perfect Golden Core Stage]
[Entries: Fiery Spirit Body (Blue), Fiery Sword (Blue), True Meaning of the Sword (Blue), Comprehension (Azure), Martial Arts Fanatic (Azure), Arm Strength (White), Ruthlessness (White)]
"I didn't expect the other party to possess a spiritual body; they are stronger than I imagined."
Li Ming thought to himself.
The opponent's cultivation was only one step away from the Refinement of the Gods. He probably originally wanted to use the Blazing Sun Crystal to break through in one fell swoop, but unexpectedly, part of it was taken away by Zhang Qiming, causing his efforts to be in vain.
Li Ming feigned a respectful demeanor, but Xing Wuming didn't even glance at him, simply saying, "Put down the wine and dishes, you can leave now."
Li Mingping calmly put the things down, but before he could make a move, he heard Xing Wuming shout:
"Wait, who are you!"
Li Ming was completely baffled, wondering how he had been exposed.
However, the other party saw through his act, so he simply stopped pretending and laid his cards on the table.
Strike first to gain the upper hand.
"I'm your grandpa!"
In an instant, Li Ming threw a punch at his opponent.
The primordial energy within his body erupted, vast and powerful, like Mount Tai pressing down!
Bull Demon's Mighty Fist!
With the blessing of innate primordial true energy, its power is now incomparable to what it was before!
Half a month had passed since Li Ming broke through to the Golden Core stage. His cultivation level had risen rapidly and he had now reached the fourth level of the Golden Core stage!
"What?"
Xing Wuming's expression changed drastically in an instant, feeling as if the opponent's fist force was like a raging wave, threatening to suffocate him.
In the heat of the moment, he could only parry with his palm.
A powerful burst of fiery true energy erupted, instantly turning the entire room scorching hot.
"Boom!"
The two men's fists and palms collided.
Although Li Ming's cultivation level was only at the fourth level of the Golden Core stage, he still held an absolute advantage!
His Primordial True Qi was now truly showing its superiority, and he almost always crushed opponents of the same level.
"Pfft..."
Blood trickled from Xing Wuming's mouth as his body flew backward, crashing heavily onto the wooden bed beside him and shattering it to pieces.
This completely stunned Xing Wuming!
He only had a subconscious suspicion of Li Ming, but he didn't expect that he would actually be able to trick him.
In the past, the disciples who delivered meals to him would tremble in fear when they faced him, after all, his cultivation level was far above theirs, and his aura alone would instill fear in them.
Although Li Ming appeared respectful, he showed no fear whatsoever, and his movements were completely unaffected, which aroused some suspicion in him.
Unexpectedly, Li Ming made his move immediately.
Moreover, their strength is so formidable.
"How is this possible!"
Xing Wuming was shocked. Feeling the numbness in his arm, he was filled with horror.
He was born with a spiritual body, so his cultivation was naturally smooth sailing. He did not lag behind in either swordsmanship or cultivation level. His Fiery True Qi was also of superior quality. Generally speaking, if he were to face a body-refining master, the quality of their true qi would not be stronger than his.
The opponent's true energy and strength seem to be superior to his. Could the opponent be a Refining God Grandmaster?
But if one is a master of spiritual refinement, why would one need to disguise oneself?
Wouldn't it be faster to just take over yourself?
"Hmph, no matter who you are, aren't you afraid of the Qingyun Sword Sect!"
Xing Wuming wiped the blood from the corner of his mouth, a cold glint flashing in his eyes.
He then took out a token and channeled his inner energy into it to activate it.
"I advise you to leave as soon as possible, otherwise, when the masters of my Qingyun Sword Sect arrive, do you think you'll be a match for them!"
Xing Wuming remained calm, notifying nearby helpers while attempting to persuade Li Ming to retreat.
The Qingyun Sword Sect sent him to guard this place for a reason; if they encountered a powerful enemy, nearby experts would come to their aid.
Moreover, they are all experts at the Refining Spirit Realm!
"I'm scared, I'm terrified."
As soon as he finished speaking, Li Ming unleashed his Moon Blade, its roar shaking the heavens.
With the blessing of Hunyuan True Qi, this strike was like a strike that split the heavens and the earth.
With a single stroke, chaos is cleaved, and yin and yang are separated.
The illusory image of the Azure Dragon solidified, utterly destroying the entire house and stirring up waves of air from the mud and buildings, transforming into a raging hurricane that instantly slashed towards Xing Wuming!
