Kong Chan is, after all, a veteran master, and is far more experienced than Gai Nie.
A glint of light suddenly flashed in Kong Chan's eyes. He seized the opportunity and flicked his whisk, causing ripples to spread out from it.
The ripple wasn't large, only the size of a thumb, but it possessed immense power. In an instant, the surrounding air seemed to become viscous and increasingly heavy.
This was a mysterious and peculiar field. Once the Void Cicada technique was unleashed, it immediately enveloped Gai Nie, leaving him no choice but to withstand the attack.
Buzz!
A sudden tremor rang out, and at that moment, Gai Nie's sword energy surged, with each sword energy like a sharp blade piercing the air and bursting out with a violent sonic boom.
"How is this possible!" Kong Chan was shocked. He had never expected that Gai Nie would be so strong. Just by the sharpness of his sword energy, he had already surpassed his own Daoist Natural Field.
"The Sixth Sword: A Leaf as a Sword, the Heart of All Things as a Sword"
This sword energy was incredibly sharp, tearing through the surrounding air like countless blades.
Bang bang bang...
The sword energy struck the natural field of the Dao, creating ripples.
The domain quickly succumbed to the pressure and shattered into nothingness.
Kong Chan only took a few steps back, barely managing to suppress the urge to cough up blood.
With this strike, Gai Nie used up all his internal energy, and actually spat out a mouthful of blood. His face turned pale, and his body swayed as he almost fell to the ground.
"As expected of a Taoist master."
Gai Nie sighed inwardly. Although he had also broken through to the level of a minor grandmaster, his cultivation time was short and his foundation was not solid enough. He was no match for this old monster who had lived for nearly a hundred years.
But Gai Nie's strength shocked Kong Chan even more; he was not even forty years old, yet he possessed such power.
"Child, shall we continue?" Kong Chan asked.
Gai Nie's internal energy was completely exhausted; if the fight continued, he would surely die.
"I'll do it!"
After that, a voice came, and everyone looked in the direction of the voice, only to see Lu Li walking up.
Gai Nie immediately frowned. Why did Lu Li come?
"Junior brother, you..."
Lu Li stood beside Gai Nie and said softly, "Senior Brother, how could I let you seek justice for Master all by yourself?"
After saying that, Lu Li handed Gai Nie's sword to him, then turned around and cupped his hands to Kong Chan, saying, "Senior Kong Chan, I am Lu Li, and I have come to seek justice for my master!"
Gai Nie has reached the level of a minor grandmaster, but Lu Li hasn't. What does he have to rely on?
"Young Lu, I am also very saddened by the passing of your master, but you are the next generation of Guiguzi, so don't act recklessly!"
Kong Chan had a great fondness for Lu Li. If Lu Li hadn't met Gui Gu Zi first, he would have wanted to pass on the mantle of Taoism to Lu Li.
But Lu Li and Zhang Liang are the same kind of people, and their ambitions lie elsewhere.
Lu Li is the successor of Guigu, and the next generation of Guigu Master. If he perishes here today, then Guigu is finished.
"Senior, I challenge your Taoist peak ninth-level martial artist!"
Kong Chan's head immediately went blank! A peak ninth-tier martial artist? How could he, with the strength of an eighth-tier martial artist, be a match for a peak ninth-tier martial artist?
"The Lu family brat..."
Seeing Lu Li's resolute expression, Kong Chan sighed helplessly, shook her head, and said, "In that case, Jing Luo, you come."
A middle-aged man stepped out from the crowd. His name was Jingluo, the next generation successor of Taoism, and also Kongchan's personal disciple!
This man was dressed in a blue robe and held a long sword. His demeanor was very calm and composed, like a mountain standing in the sea, giving people a profound and vast feeling.
Lu Li drew his Heavenly Question Sword and stared intently at Whale Fall. This person was different from the assassins he had encountered before, and he absolutely had to be on high alert.
"Please enlighten me!" Whale Fall said calmly.
He wielded a long sword and unleashed three strikes in an instant, each one imbued with a sharp intent and a chilling aura that sent shivers down one's spine.
"Ding ding ding!"
Lu Li hurriedly swung his Heavenly Question Sword to parry, the sword shadows clashed and sparks flew, the two of them actually fought to a standstill!
Lu Li frowned slightly; Whale Fall's swordsmanship was indeed extraordinary.
The two exchanged blows, their sword energies crisscrossing and clashing repeatedly.
Although Lu Li only possessed the strength of an eighth-level martial artist, he had also learned Gai Nie's Sword Eleven. While he didn't exude internal energy like Gai Nie, transforming it into a sky full of sword energy, the sword flowers he unleashed were still dazzling.
At least, he and Whale Fall fought to a draw; neither could suppress the other.
Upon seeing this, Gai Nie showed a look of satisfaction, because Lu Li's mastery of Sword Eleven was truly astonishing.
Lu Li's martial arts aptitude is relatively average compared to other geniuses.
But what he didn't know was that ever since Lu Li learned Sword Eleven, he had been studying diligently, just so that he could calmly deal with the assassination attempt again.
That's just Lu Li's personality; he learns from his mistakes and will never put himself in danger again.
Although he had two top experts, Cangwu and Xiaoluer, by his side, to be honest, it's better to have them yourself than to have them yourself.
Therefore, Lu Li was focused on practicing martial arts and at this moment he brought out the maximum power of Sword Eleven.
The swords flashed and glittered, a dazzling display of light. The two swords clashed repeatedly, producing a resounding clang and sparks flying everywhere.
"good!"
Gai Nie shouted, "It is truly rare for Lu Li to be able to compete with a ninth-level martial artist and even hold his own against him."
