"If we kill this old demon, perhaps the Reincarnation Purple Lotus can advance further."
Li Ming thought to himself.
In the blink of an eye, punch after punch was thrown out in quick succession.
The force of the punch erupts in an instant.
"you……"
At this moment, the Black Mountain Demon felt as if he were being completely crushed by an immense force.
The immense force rendered it speechless.
That enormous body seemed to be merely an empty shell, like a punctured water bag spewing out a large amount of foul-smelling black mist, resembling blood but not quite.
Even with such an attack, it wouldn't take his life.
After all, it is not a physical form, so even if its body is completely shattered, it still has a chance to make a comeback.
But then, a clear, dragon-like sword cry was heard, and a flash of blazing white light appeared in an instant.
An extremely intense sword intent had already filled the area within a ten-mile radius. Li Ming drew his sword and prepared his momentum in the blink of an eye. His movements were fluid and natural, as if it were the will of heaven and the cycle of the four seasons.
It's unavoidable, it can't be stopped!
A profound sense of impending death filled the mind of the Black Mountain Demon.
"This is... the will of Heaven..."
Amidst the murmurs, the Black Mountain Demon sensed from the blade a sense that Heaven decreed his death, and he had no choice but to die.
They couldn't even muster the thought of resistance.
With a single strike, it overwhelmed countless black tides, even surpassing the sky, as if it were about to cleave the heavens down—a truly magnificent sight.
Looking into the distance, one could see a huge mushroom cloud rise and explode.
This scene left all the martial saints speechless, and they couldn't help but begin to doubt their own existence, utterly horrified.
How could he fight the Black Mountain Demon all by himself and end up like this?
That terrifying, bloodthirsty old demon, is this all?
Even if the other party possesses an extraordinary treasure, their strength is enough to move anyone.
It should be understood that the Black Mountain Demon is not a demon that an ordinary Enlightenment Realm expert can deal with. It is an ancient demon that has grown for thousands of years. Even if a Celestial Being were to take action, it might not be able to completely eliminate it.
Time passed little by little.
Before long, the once overwhelming black tide had completely receded.
It seems that not a single black demon has been found.
Even the martial saints who had already avoided the battlefield couldn't help but sigh at this scene.
It seems the Black Mountain Demon is truly gone.
They couldn't help but have other thoughts in their minds.
For example, Earth Element Liquid... and even Heaven Element Liquid!
“This area was originally inhabited by a large number of powerful black demons. Without the black demons, it will be much easier to collect the Earth Element Liquid.”
Even with the worst luck, picking up a dozen or so drops doesn't seem difficult.
For a time, many martial artists were eager to make their move.
Having just faced the powerful Black Mountain Demon, they had no desire for a direct confrontation and paid no heed to Earthly Essence Liquid or Heavenly Essence Liquid.
Now that Li Ming has stepped in and resolved the issue, it seems that this is no longer just wishful thinking.
Led by several daring martial saints, one by one they began to approach the depths of the original black tide.
In other words, they wanted to get close to Li Ming and share in the spoils.
laugh!
Li Ming flicked his finger, and a sword aura flew out swiftly, piercing through with ferocity.
"ah……"
One of the martial saints was very unlucky; his thigh was instantly pierced, and he fell to the ground with a loud scream.
After killing the Black Mountain Demon, Li Ming gained a large amount of life energy, plus... two drops of Heavenly Essence Liquid.
Meanwhile, the Reincarnation Purple Lotus fell into complete silence, sleeping in its sea of consciousness, absorbing the chaotic energy produced by the Chaotic Azure Lotus Body, and seemed to be undergoing a transformation.
Suddenly, all around became silent.
Everyone stopped in their tracks and stared nervously at Li Ming.
"Are you mistaken about something...? You escaped from this place before. In other words, now that I, Li, have killed the Black Mountain Demon, you're trying to take advantage of the situation."
Am I... overthinking it?
Here's a choice for you.
"Either leave this area of ten miles, or you'll have to test the sharpness of my sword!"
Li Ming's tone was icy, and he didn't give him a friendly look.
These people may all be of high status, but he is not someone to be trifled with.
If he were to go to an even more extreme position, conceal his identity, and slaughter these people, he could not only gain a fortune in life energy but also collect earth element liquid along the way.
But Li Ming didn't want to do that; it was too extreme. His promotion speed was already fast enough.
However, if these people don't know what's good for them, he won't be polite.
The martial artists looked at each other, their faces grim.
Normally, they are all high-ranking martial saints who enjoy many resources, but when faced with Li Ming, a junior, they want to lash out.
But considering that the other side even killed the Black Mountain Demon, how could they possibly win?
If we really want to stay here, we'll have to unite everyone to deal with Li Ming.
But it sounds simple. Even if they join forces, they can't work together. As soon as Li Ming kills a few people, they will collapse.
In the blink of an eye, many people left one after another.
"However, Brother Danxuan and Daochi, you two can help me collect the Earth Essence Liquid. You can take a portion of it yourselves when the time comes."
Li Ming spoke calmly.
There's some friendship involved, and it would be too tiring for him to collect everything in this area by himself.
Now that we've got the Heavenly Essence Liquid, we can share some of the Earthly Essence Liquid with them.
"good!"
Upon hearing this, the two were very grateful and bowed to thank Li Ming.
They knew that Li had given them a chance.
"Huh? Aren't you leaving yet?"
Li Ming looked at the distance and saw several people watching them.
"They are people of the Great Yan."
Dan Xuan recognized the identities of the group at a glance.
"The leading martial saint is Zhenyi, the newly promoted red-robed grand mage of the Heavenly God Sect."
"oh?"
Li Ming took a few slow steps, and as his gaze swept across the crowd in Da Yan, everyone felt their faces tighten and their hearts turn cold.
After a moment of trepidation, the several Martial Saints of the Great Yan Dynasty bowed deeply.
"Zhenyi of the Great Flame Heavenly Divine Sect pays respects to Venerable Li!"
"The Great Flame Heavenly Cult, Batus pays respects to Venerable Li..."
...
As soon as one person spoke, the others immediately bowed loudly, showing the utmost respect.
In the Great Yan Dynasty, only those of extremely high status are called Venerables.
"Incense nourishes the soul and cultivates the body..."
Li Ming sized up the group of people from the Heavenly God Sect.
Compared to the Martial Saints he had seen before, Zhenyi's primordial spirit appeared extremely refined, and one could vaguely smell the faint scent of incense.
This is a symbol that can only be obtained by cultivating the supreme divine skill of the Heavenly God Sect, the Eternal Reincarnation Great Law, to a very high level.
Legend has it that this cultivation method emphasizes divinity; if one cultivates it to the ninth level, one can instantly become a god and live forever.
Master Zhenyi said in a deep voice:
"I wonder if Venerable Li has ever met Young Master Tuoba Wushuang?"
"Of course I've seen him. Didn't he want to have a match with me that day? But I haven't seen him since I entered Black Demon Mountain."
Li Ming said calmly.
"I apologize for disturbing Venerable Li."
"Walk!"
Upon hearing Li Ming's reply, Zhenyi didn't press further and simply led the group away.
He strongly suspected that Li Ming was behind it, but right now he had to choose between the truth and his life.
He can still tell the difference.
Until they were ten miles away.
Batu, the protector of the Celestial God Sect, couldn't help but ask:
"Lord Zhenyi, was Lord Tuoba killed by Li Ming?"
"Besides him, there probably isn't anyone else who could do this."
Shinichi's eyes sparkled.
They all came here with life-or-death tokens that could determine whether someone lived or died.
Tuoba Wushuang's life tablet was shattered after a battle broke out here.
It's not hard to deduce that it was Li Ming who did it.
However, they had no evidence for this matter, so they could only leave the mountains and discuss it further.
