"clang!"
The crisp sound of metal clashing echoed in the air.
Dao Qi's eyes were filled with rage, and his body blazed with bloody light as he blocked Li Ming's strike, a strike powerful enough to split mountains and shatter rocks.
If it were a Golden Core Realm martial artist, it would be fine, but against a Qi Condensation Realm martial artist, they actually fought to a standstill.
This made him somewhat embarrassed.
"Bloodshed in all directions!"
Dao Qi roared, his eyes revealing madness, his muscles bulging, and his black hair burning like flames.
His true energy surged wildly, far stronger than before, and he swung his blood-red blade straight at Li Ming's head!
He swung his blade at a speed beyond the naked eye, the blade energy crisscrossing, exuding a chilling killing intent!
"hold head high!"
Li Ming snorted coldly, a fierce glint flashing in his eyes, and swung his sword through the air with extreme speed.
The scene twisted before them, and a phantom of a blue dragon appeared, blocking the way between the two.
It unleashed a deafening dragon roar!
\\\"Bang!\\\"
The two collided, and the illusory image of the Azure Dragon shattered with a deafening roar.
The blade grazed Li Ming's chest, leaving a deep wound!
Dao Qi fared no better; his left arm was slashed open, leaving it a bloody mess with exposed bones.
The battle between the two intensified, with the Azure Dragon roaring one moment and blood splattering across the sky the next.
Knowing that his opponent was no ordinary person, Li Ming dared not be careless in the slightest. He pushed his movement technique to the limit, and every strike he made brought tremendous pressure to the sword energy.
Dao Qi, who was fighting Li Ming, was suffering greatly and felt extremely strained. He felt as if he were fighting a giant dragon, whose blood and energy were strong and whose physical strength was even greater than his.
In an instant, the streets were filled with the clash of swords!
"What's going on?"
Although it was late at night and most people were already resting, the fierce battle had naturally alerted the Six Doors.
A team of constables had arrived at the scene and witnessed the two fighting.
Just watching from a distance, their expressions changed simultaneously.
"That's a battle between Golden Core Grandmasters?"
Even from afar, one could sense the immense scale of the battle; this was going to be difficult.
In the past, it was not common for battles to occur at night.
After all, martial artists are naturally combative; they might get drunk at night and lose their temper.
They might fight until the world turns upside down.
They just didn't expect the level of the competition to be so high.
"That's... Li Ming?"
Suddenly, a constable exclaimed in surprise.
Li Ming's reputation was renowned throughout Cangyang County. Almost everyone in the Six Doors had heard of him, and Li Ming had also visited the Six Doors before.
Many people know what he looks like.
The head constable leading the team said in a deep voice, "The person he fought seems to be Dao Qi, known as the Bloodthirsty Mad Blade!"
"Many years ago, he was already a Golden Core Realm expert, with incomparably formidable strength!"
"Should we go up and help?"
One of the constables frowned.
Upon hearing this, the head constable glared at him and said irritably:
Are we going up there to die?
When masters clash, ordinary martial artists who intervene will only make things worse.
Aren't these martial artists at the Condensation Realm just going to their deaths?
"And... it seems Li Ming has the upper hand?"
The constable's pupils contracted; he was immediately startled.
On the battlefield.
Dao Qi's forehead was covered in blood, and he was panting heavily, feeling extremely exhausted.
Aren't you tired?
He had clashed with Li Ming many times and thought he had figured out Li Ming's tactics, but despite so many encounters, his opponent still maintained such a relaxed and effortless state, which shocked him.
"Not bad, let's do it again!"
Li Ming smiled faintly, and the Moon-Inviting Blade in his hand transformed into a streak of light, slashing towards Dao Qi once again.
He's not afraid to trade injuries for injuries...
Will it leave a lasting health problem?
It's not a big problem.
Dao Qi's eyes flashed, and he mustered his last bit of strength, unleashing a burst of true energy as he slashed down with his sword.
"kill!"
The two terrifying true energies collided, causing the ground to crack open with huge fissures that spread outwards like a spider web.
\\\"boom!\\\"
Another violent collision ensued, and Dao Qi was thrown back several steps by a tremendous force, blood spilling from the corner of his mouth, making it difficult for him to stand.
"It seems your stamina isn't very good!"
Li Ming naturally didn't let this good opportunity pass him by. He slashed with his sword, unleashing the power of his entire body.
The force of the energy roared like thunder.
"No!"
Dao Qi had no strength left to dodge. He looked at the cold light in the air and felt its bone-chilling coldness.
This caused him to let out a roar of extreme resentment.
He raised his sword, intending to block the attack.
Unfortunately, exhausted, he was powerless to resist the oncoming slash.
His beloved knife was knocked away and landed on the ground with a 'clang'.
"laugh!"
The knife went into his neck as easily as chopping melons or vegetables.
Without a doubt, Dao Qi's head flew into the air and crashed heavily to the ground some distance away, blood gushing out like a fountain.
Dao Qi, die!
As a wandering master, Dao Qi naturally had no taboos. Seeing the hefty bounty on the black list, he thought of killing Li Ming, making some money, and running away. In his view, it was an easy thing and there wouldn't be too many surprises.
Unexpectedly, he died at the hands of a young man who wasn't even a grandmaster.
[Slay the Seventh Blade, gaining Life Energy.]
[Reversal of Fate activated, can seize entries...]
【The true meaning of the sword! 】
Without hesitation, Li Ming immediately selected the other party's entry.
After seizing the opponent's sword intent, his sword intent advanced further!
Although it can't achieve a qualitative change to 30%, it can barely be considered as 2.5 layers.
"We won..."
Li Ming breathed a sigh of relief, feeling much more at ease.
"Oh, right, and you too."
Li Ming looked at Lin Zhan not far away.
The other person was on the verge of death, clinging to life only by sheer willpower.
Lin Zhan's eyes were filled with resentment and despair.
He wanted to see Li Ming die with his own eyes.
Unexpectedly, even someone as strong as Dao Qi was no match for Li Ming.
Li Ming slowly walked towards Lin Zhan and whispered:
"Don't worry, the Lin family will also go down to join you and your son..."
"you……!"
Lin Zhan's eyes widened in fury, his heart filled with shock and rage.
But Li Ming didn't give him another chance to speak, and a blade of light fell.
They were reunited as father and son.
[Slay Lin Zhan and gain Life Energy.]
[Reversal of Fate activated, can seize entries...]
"He... just killed Dao Qi like that?"
The constable in the distance was deeply shocked to see Dao Qi lying in a pool of blood, his body severed from its head.
From the battle just now, the cultivation levels of the two were clearly displayed. Li Ming was indeed still in the Condensation Realm, even inferior to himself, and had not yet reached the perfect Condensation Realm.
Logically speaking, Li Ming should have been crushed by a master who had reached the Great Perfection of the Golden Core Realm, but the two fought fiercely, and in the end, Li Ming beheaded Dao Qi with a single blow.
"Is this the true value of the ranking list?"
The constable muttered to himself.
Although the Ranking of People is authoritative, many of the battle records are too exaggerated, so many people still have some doubts in their hearts, such as a fourth-grade divine power defeating a martial saint... But now, seeing Li Ming able to kill a master who has reached the Golden Core stage by going against a major realm, it all seems reasonable.
Seeing Li Ming walking towards them, the group of constables couldn't help but feel a little flustered.
The night wind was strong.
Coupled with the murderous aura of the other party, it was too ruthless. Even knowing that everyone was a colleague, they were all a little at a loss for what to do.
"who?"
Li Ming's heart skipped a beat as he suddenly realized that someone in the distance was watching him.
It was just well hidden before, and he didn't notice.
Fortunately, his five senses are far beyond those of ordinary people, and he has not relaxed his guard until now, but has become even more vigilant.
The enemy relaxed slightly after seeing that two people had been killed, and he discovered their mistake.
Suddenly, Li Ming turned around without warning, took out a large bow from his storage space, drew it to its full extent, and fired an arrow.
This arrow, like a meteor, tore through the air and arrived in an instant!
The gray figure hiding under the eaves snorted coldly and unleashed a powerful burst of true energy to block the arrow. However, the arrow was too powerful and pierced through the true energy, still hitting the right arm.
The man in gray frowned, letting out a muffled groan as he endured the pain. Then, with a light step, he vanished into the night.
He's a grandmaster!
"Who is this?"
Li Ming's eyelids twitched.
There seem to be quite a few people hiding in this dark place.
However, they didn't make a move, which suggests they were still wary of his strength.
Or perhaps they're afraid of the experts from the Six Doors coming?
The night patrol constable hurriedly and respectfully said:
"Lord Li, let us do the cleaning. You should rest well."
"Of course, we will collect these people's belongings and then deliver them to you, sir!"
Li Ming sighed softly, looking at the devastated streets, and slowly said:
“These repair costs can be deducted from those people’s property.”
This was after he had restrained himself.
Protecting public property is everyone's responsibility...
...
At night, the gray-clad figure moved through the streets like a ghost.
They were incredibly fast and their stealth skills were superb; they could even brush past patrolling constables without the latter noticing them.
Soon, he wandered around the city and finally came to a courtyard. He leaped in and easily entered.
It was already late at night, and the only room in the courtyard with lights on had its door ajar.
The man in gray pushed open the door and entered, respectfully addressing the middle-aged man inside:
"My lord, this lad is indeed extraordinary. He actually managed to kill two Golden Core Grandmasters while only at the Qi Condensation Realm."
"I'm not good at head-on combat, so I'm afraid I won't be able to defeat my opponent. Besides, the Six Doors have already started sending people..."
The middle-aged man nodded, not blaming the other party, then sighed:
"This Qi Ming was probably killed by Li Ming... I didn't expect such a big fish to come out of this ditch."
"I don't know how to explain this to my clan... I'm really in deep trouble."
Qi Ming's lineage went to great lengths to cultivate a genius. Just to produce this top-grade evil energy, they paid a considerable price to prevent other forces from competing for it.
In the end, it benefited an outsider instead.
These people naturally could not escape punishment.
The man in gray asked, puzzled, "What do you think about things from within the clan?"
"Should we just let an underdeveloped genius go unchecked..."
The middle-aged man said helplessly, "We can't take action directly... You know, our Divine Constable of Cangzhou takes special care of him."
He then waved for him to leave.
"Go and get some medicine to heal your injuries. Let's not get involved in this matter any further."
