But Lu Jingzhi turned a blind eye to it, with a hint of disgust flashing in his eyes.
He swung out his palm suddenly and hit the female cultivator mercilessly.
There was only a muffled "bang" sound.
The female cultivator screamed and flew out, falling straight down the mountain like a kite with a broken string, and then disappeared from sight.
Lu Jingzhi snorted coldly and continued to climb up the steep stairs.
Time passes, the moon is in the sky——
The defensive power of the tortoise shell technique is gradually becoming weaker under the continuous erosion of the pressure of heaven and earth.
At this moment, Lu Jingzhi felt as if every step he took was like carrying a heavy burden, making it difficult for him to breathe.
Before he knew it, his legs began to tremble slightly uncontrollably.
It seemed as if it would collapse to the ground at any moment due to the weight of its body.
Not only that, his head became extremely dizzy and his vision was blurred.
Just then, a voice suddenly came from above.
"Friend Lu, I never thought you could make it this far."
Lu Jingzhi forced himself to cheer up, raised his head with difficulty, and looked in the direction where the sound came from.
I saw two figures standing not far away, they were Lin Qiyue and Ye Xi.
Lin Qiyue was wearing a green armor that shone brightly in the sunlight.
On Ye Xi's back, there was a crescent moon floating.
The crescent-shaped mark on the forehead was emitting a light as white as snow.
Obviously, the reason why these two people were able to arrive here.
I believe they also rely on the defensive skills they have mastered to resist the pressure of heaven and earth.
Lu Jingzhi smiled and nodded slightly to the two of them.
Sit down and rest for a while on the steps a little distance away from them.
At this time, Ye Xi had a faint smile on his lips. He turned his gaze to Lu Jingzhi and asked with interest.
"Friend Lu, I heard from July that you are Yan An's fiancé?"
Hearing this, Lu Jingzhi turned to look at Ye Xi and responded, "Yes, I am indeed Yan An's fiancé."
"You also know Yan An?"
"Of course I know him."
"I once fought with her in the past."
When Lu Jingzhi heard this, his eyes instantly became serious. "Oh? Is there some kind of grudge between you and her?"
Ye Xi quickly waved his hands and explained, "That's not true. Qi Yue just fell in love with her and went to propose to her."
"I was curious for a moment, so I wanted to go and see what kind of woman could make Qiyue's heart so moved."
"I thought about sparring with him," Ye Xi paused, a hint of embarrassment on his face, and continued, "But as soon as we met, she killed me instantly with just one strike of her sword."
Recalling that past event, Ye Xi couldn't help but shook his head and sighed, "Since then, I have learned from my mistakes and decided to immerse myself in hard work, hoping to surpass her one day."
"However... alas... it's such a pity that such a gifted and beautiful girl like her still died in the end."
After hearing her words, Lu Jingzhi remained silent as if he hadn't heard anything.
Others may just regard this as a topic of conversation after dinner, but for myself.
This is a pain that is buried deep in my heart and difficult to express in words.
Ye Xi, who was standing by, had a curious glint in his eyes and kept asking, "Are you really planning to go alone to avenge Yan An?"
Lu Jingzhi, who had been silent the entire time, finally spoke slowly, "Yes, this is what my heart desires, and I am determined to do it."
"Behind the current demon clan is the extremely powerful evil soul clan. Are you really going to do this for a dead woman..."
But Lu Jingzhi interrupted her without hesitation and responded decisively, "No need to say anything more, I have made up my mind."
Seeing Lu Jingzhi's firm attitude, Ye Xi had no choice but to nod slightly, indicating that he would not say anything more.
However, her curiosity grew stronger.
What kind of man could make the arrogant Yan An fall in love with him?
Moreover, as of now, even with his eighth-star cultivation level in the Sky Realm, he is unable to see through the true strength of the person in front of him.
At this time, Lu Jingzhi crossed his legs and sat steadily on the ground, completely ignoring the huge pressure from the heaven and earth.
He concentrated on absorbing the thin mysterious energy around him.
At this moment, Lin Qiyue looked at Lu Jingzhi and reminded him, "Fellow Daoist Lu, the closer you get to the top of the mountain, the richer the profound energy will become."
"Now, as long as we work hard to climb more than a thousand steps, we will successfully reach the top of the mountain."
"Maybe you can climb again."
Lu Jingzhi frowned slightly, his eyes flickering, and he thought for a moment.
He raised his head, looked at the other person with sharp eyes, and asked, "How do you know that the higher you go, the denser the profound energy becomes?"
"Just last month, a fellow Daoist who had reached the Xuanwang realm successfully climbed to the top of the mountain and was invited by the Heavenly Palace to join."
"This matter has already spread throughout Xizhou. Could it be that you don't know anything about it?"
Lu Jingzhi shook his head, a hint of doubt on his face: "To be honest, I have never heard of such a thing."
"Oh, I see."
Lin Qiyue looked at Ye Xi and said, "Ye Xi, let's go up first."
Ye Xi stood up from the ground and walked up with Lin Qiyue.
Looking at their figures walking away.
