At dusk.
Arrows shot toward Li Ming, their tips gleaming with a cold light, like shooting stars streaking across the sky!
It's a pity.
Li Ming has now not only reached the Condensation Realm in cultivation, but also possesses a body that has been honed to its extreme, making his five senses extremely sharp.
The moment he heard the whooshing sound, his body instinctively dodged.
"Puff puff puff!"
In an instant.
Seven or eight arrows were shot. Some grazed Li Ming's body and disappeared into the air due to inertia, flying off to who knows where. Others hit the trees next to him, the arrowheads piercing the trunks and startling the branches and leaves.
It was obvious that this ambush was aimed at taking his life!
And the instigator behind this is self-evident.
"The Zhao family!"
Instantly, a cold killing intent flashed in Li Ming's eyes, and a surge of anger welled up in his heart.
Unexpectedly, he had just stepped out of the Six Doors.
We hadn't walked more than a few miles.
They were ambushed.
That's really going too far.
"Whoosh whoosh whoosh!"
Before Li Ming could think any further, a series of whooshing sounds rang out from the shadows on the other side, as several arrows shot toward Li Ming's location.
These arrows were coated with something in all sorts of colors; heaven knows what kind of poison they were contaminated with.
That's why he kept dodging.
Li Ming didn't want to gamble on his resistance to poison; what if he was given some low-quality poison? He didn't want to take that risk.
He then used his inner energy to protect his body.
His body moved with agility and dexterity, causing several arrows to miss their mark again.
The last three arrows fired in quick succession were blocked by the protective aura.
At this moment, Li Ming clearly felt that the crossbow-like device the opponent was using had a gap in its arrow-changing speed, no matter how fast it was.
In other words, we are currently in a period of firepower vacuum on the other side.
There's no need to rush into the enemy lines rashly.
The other side was clearly prepared; rushing in recklessly would be unwise.
Li Ming sped off in the opposite direction, and with his speed, it would be difficult for the attackers to catch up.
"call!"
Just as Li Ming had rushed out a few dozen meters, a flash of silver light appeared in the corner. The person was extremely fast, and as he pounced, the qi on his fist brought with it a whooshing sound as it cut through the air.
Li Ming reacted extremely quickly, without being careless. He gathered his strength and threw a fierce punch, counterattacking the attacker.
"Bang!"
The fists collided, creating a sound like firecrackers exploding in the air.
The opponent was caught off guard and was wearing metal gauntlets that were clearly not ordinary.
Li Ming hastily engaged the enemy and retreated a few steps.
The attacker wasn't faring much better; he was thrown back four or five steps by the shockwave.
"How is that possible!"
The attacker was Zhao Hu, the leader of the Snow Tiger Gang.
He possessed superhuman strength, which made him stand out among a group of thugs and attract the attention of the Zhao family patriarch, who taught him martial arts and even crafted a pair of boxing gloves for him.
He lived up to the Zhao family's expectations, incorporating many gangs in Qing Shi City and becoming almost the sole dominant force.
It's unknown how much wealth the Zhao family has amassed.
When asked to take action, he originally intended to go alone to deal with Li Ming, but the Zhao family still sent several people to assist him.
Seeing that Li Ming was able to calmly fight back against his sneak attack, while he himself was at a disadvantage.
He immediately realized,
That's a tricky idea!
He immediately shouted, "Surround him! Don't let him get away!"
Before long, several men in black quickly surrounded them.
These individuals were all martial artists with the strength to condense internal energy, and their eyes were filled with killing intent.
To prevent Li Ming from suddenly turning on him and killing him.
Zhao Hu stared at Li Ming and said calmly, "Li Ming, I'll give you a chance. If you join my Snow Tiger Gang and the Zhao family, you can keep your life and have a great opportunity to make a name for yourself in the future!"
"Okay...but...I have one condition."
"What are the conditions?"
"That's... your head!"
As Li Ming spoke, the knife in his hand was already drawn.
"die!"
Azure Dragon Nine-Turn Blade - Dragon Raises Its Head!
A bright, semi-circular blade of light flashed by, slashing towards Zhao Hu, intending to cut him in two!
The Azure Dragon Nine Revolutions Blade is a master-level martial art, naturally suitable for being activated with internal energy, especially for Li Ming, who is already at the seventh-grade Condensing Qi Realm.
He truly displayed the power of his swordsmanship!
The Azure Dragon Qi of the Wood element, a third-grade spiritual weapon, and a master-level sword technique—each one is extraordinary.
If an ordinary person possesses even one of these qualities, they can already be considered a dominant force in their own realm. If they possess multiple qualities together, they can easily achieve challenges beyond their level!
Not to mention Li Ming's foundation, which few can match!
"Good timing!"
Zhao Hu laughed wildly. He naturally didn't intend to subdue Li Ming; he just wanted to suppress his arrogance before making a decisive move. Unexpectedly, Li Ming struck first.
In terms of cultivation, he had been condensing his Qi for many years, and his Qi and Qi were now one.
In terms of experience, he has extremely rich practical experience.
As for weapons, he wore a pair of sixth-grade spiritual weapon-level gauntlets, which he had painstakingly crafted with all his family's wealth, clearly showing his confidence.
At this moment, Zhao Hu bent his five fingers and grabbed the blade with both hands.
"clang!"
The sound of metal clashing was like a shockwave, making one's ears hurt.
"Ahhh!"
Zhao Hu let out a miserable scream.
His prized metal gloves were chopped to pieces.
If it weren't for his protective aura blocking some of the sword energy, he probably would have had both hands severed on the spot.
"How is that possible!"
Zhao Hu's screams naturally did not move Li Ming.
Take this opportunity to strike again.
This strike was delivered with effortless ease.
The originally surging and violent sword energy was entirely contained within the blade of the Moon Invitation Blade; this is the weapon's description: "Containment."
【Inviting the Moon Blade】
[Rank: Grade 3 Spiritual Artifact]
[Entries: Sharp (blue), Indestructible (blue), Reserved (blue)]
Having reached the Condensation Realm, he can see the weapon attributes and even add points to advance them!
The effect of "introversion" is extremely powerful.
Concentrate your power, focus on one point, and reach the pinnacle!
This strike was simple and ordinary, but when the Moon-Inviting Blade met Zhao Hu's fully activated protective aura...
The blade energy erupted instantly!
The blade flashed, falling like snowflakes!
A very thin bloodstain suddenly appeared on Zhao Hu's neck.
With a snap, the massive head broke off, leaving an empty neck from which blood splattered.
[Slay Zhao Hu and gain 3500 Life Energy.]
[Defying Fate Activated...]
Seeing the horrific scene on the ground, the other men in black were terrified.
As the leader of the Snow Tiger Gang, Zhao Hu's strength surpasses theirs.
They were merely guests of the Zhao family, and originally thought that this operation would only involve dealing with a minor martial artist in the Qi Refining Realm.
It's something that's a sure thing, yet you claim credit for nothing.
I never expected them to be so fierce!
"He must have used all his strength to unleash that strike. Let's all attack together and kill him!"
One of the men in black shouted something, then quietly retreated, preparing to slip away.
His loyalty to the Zhao family was highly variable; seeing Li Ming's ruthlessness, his loyalty dropped to its limit, and he didn't want to lose his life there.
A martial artist at the Qi Condensation Realm would be an honored guest in any family, so why would he risk his life for the Zhao family?
Of course, the others weren't stupid either; Li Ming killing Zhao Hu was as easy as taking candy from a baby.
Whoever goes in will die.
However, running fast gives you a chance to survive, while running slowly increases your chances of dying.
"Don't kill me! I'll flee the Zhao family right now!"
"Kill him if you're going to kill him, he's too slow!"
The group shared the same idea and scattered in a hurry, even revealing each other's shortcomings, which was a pity.
Li Ming's power far surpasses that of ordinary people.
Its speed is still quite good.
[Slay xxx, gain 2800 Life Energy.]
[Defying Fate Activated...]
[Slay xxx and gain 3000 Life Energy.]
[Defying Fate Activated...]
...
A series of rewards temporarily dispelled Li Ming's anger.
Although the Zhao family was unkind and unjust this time, they still provided him with considerable help.
