Adding on the spirit stones he had prepared from selling the spirit talismans, Li Qingshan's spirit stones had once again reached two thousand. He was even richer than before he had bought the Whale's Ingestion of Water. Sacred Hall
The reason why he was still sitting here was because he was waiting for the Qi Practitioner who wanted to buy the Sword Qi Calligraphy. If he really did have another copy of the Cursive Sword Calligraphy, then he would use these spirit stones to buy it from him.
Footsteps came from outside the door. Li Qingshan opened the door and found Liu Ruping standing there. "Congratulations, Fellow Daoist. Not only did you sell the Yao Core for a high price, you also obtained what you wanted."
Li Qingshan glanced at the empty space behind her. "Where's that person?"
Liu Ruping said, "That Fellow Daoist suddenly changed his mind. I'm sorry for making you wait. If there's nothing else you want to buy, please leave!"
Li Qingshan was a bit surprised. Could it be that that person didn't want the Sword Qi Calligraphy anymore? Or was his speculation wrong? That person had been sent by the school of Miscellany to raise the price. Liu Ruping's change in attitude made him even more suspicious. He said, "See you again!" and brushed past Liu Ruping.
Liu Ruping's back was facing him. Her lips opened and closed, but no sound came out. She said, "See you again!" She combed her hair and said in her heart, "But I still have to thank you!" All she had done was sell Li Qingshan's appearance to the Qi Practitioner, and she had received twenty spiritual stones. It was rare to come across such a lucrative deal.
Ever since she met this Niu guy, she could be said to have been rolling in money. Whether it was from the school of Miscellany's rewards from his business or selling information about him to others, she had made a lot of money.
However, she didn't notice that Li Qingshan had inadvertently turned around and looked at her back. His eyes flashed with a cold light.
There were many people who could be vicious and merciless, but there were very few who possessed both intelligence and foresight. Qian Rongzhi was one, but there weren't many Qian Rongzhi.
At the very least, she hadn't truly seen through Li Qingshan's personality.
A favor of a meal must be repaid, and a grudge must be avenged.
… …
The sun shone weakly on the street, far from being able to offset the chill brought by the fierce cold wind. ("")
As long as one was a Qi Practitioner, they would be able to ignore this degree of temperature change, let alone Li Qingshan's demon body.
However, he felt a deep chill. It wasn't because of the temperature, but because he sensed danger. This was a keen instinct that he had gained after transforming into a fiendish demon. As his cultivation increased, it became even sharper.
This sharpness was no longer a so-called sixth sense. Instead, it directly benefited from the Spirit Turtle's Method of Sea Suppression.
Shamans were adept at using tortoise shells for divination and foreseeing the astronomical phenomena and the future. The tortoise carried the Nine Palaces and Eight Trigrams on its back and possessed extraordinary spirituality. As his cultivation increased, this spirituality gradually revealed itself. Although it could not foresee the future, it could still sense evil.
Li Qingshan exhaled softly. He raised his head and closed his eyes. The clamor around him disappeared without a trace. A faint feeling of being watched surfaced in his heart.
Not only did the person watching over him possess extraordinary cultivation, but they were also extremely skilled at concealing their presence. Even if he did not pay close attention, he would struggle to discover them.
Li Qingshan opened his eyes. He did not hide in the safe town. Instead, he made his way out of the town. Danger would not disappear with time. He could only face it bravely.
He stepped out of the town, and the ground sank slightly, forming a circular pit. It was like he had stepped on a trampoline. Li Qingshan shot over a hundred paces away. His large figure charged towards the pure-white snowy mountains with unbelievable speed.
He turned around a mountain pass and vanished.
The forest rushed towards him before retreating quickly. He dodged them all nimbly. If he really could not dodge them, he would directly smash through them. However, he refused to stop at all. He did not even use the Spirit Turtle's Method of Sea Suppression to hide his presence.
A thousand paces away, a masked man in black stopped hiding and pursued him.
Li Qingshan glanced backwards, and his eyes narrowed slightly. An eighth layer Qi Practitioner. However, that was not any danger at all. It should not have given him such a great sense of danger. Was that all?
He did not stop at all. Instead, he pushed himself forward with all his might. His body leaned forward and his hands would touch the ground from time to time. He was like a vicious, black tiger, running through the mountains and forests, assuming the form of the tiger demon. The sacred hall
The masked man cursed inside. He was determined to obtain the Sword Qi Calligraphy, but he never thought someone would interfere. Originally, he wanted to meet with Li Qingshan and take the Sword Qi Calligraphy back no matter what. However, upon further thought, if he bought it, he would have to spend over a thousand spiritual stones at the very least. That was basically cutting off his flesh.
As a result, he became interested in killing and stealing. In order to avoid alerting Li Qingshan, he went as far as to spend twenty spiritual stones to buy information on Li Qingshan from Liu Ruping.
However, he did not expect that kid to be so vigilant. As soon as he left the market, he ran with all his might. His speed was surprisingly fast.
However, he sneered inside. If you hide in the town, I won't be bold enough to touch you, but if you run out, you'll just be digging your own grave. It won't be that easy to shake him off. He used his movement technique and true qi revolved around him, shooting towards Li Qingshan like a black arrow.
In a snow-covered valley, the surrounding trees were all withered. Like a black spear, it pierced straight into the sky.
Li Qingshan seemed to have exhausted all his strength. He stood knee-deep in the snow. His body naturally emitted spiritual energy. Any Qi Practitioner could tell that he was in the fourth layer of Qi Practitioner, and he was very tired.
"Why aren't you running anymore?"
After a short pause, a cold and proud voice came from behind him.
Li Qingshan suddenly looked back. All he saw was a masked man in black walking through the snow, emerging from the jungle. He did not leave behind a footprint in the thick snow as he stared at him coldly. Although he had pursued him for several dozen kilometers, his true qi had basically not been depleted at all.
Li Qingshan turned around and asked in shock, "Why are you chasing me?"
The masked man said, "Hand over the Sword Qi Calligraphy."
Li Qingshan frowned, "I don't know what the Sword Qi Calligraphy is." Information about his identity should be kept a secret. The first person he suspected was Liu Ruping.
He did not know if it was the rules of the School of Miscellany, but he had become her exclusive guest. She was the one who took care of everything in the store. However, he did not dare to be completely sure. But what if it was really that woman? Hmph, he did not care about being schemed against. He was not that broad-minded.
The masked man said sternly, "You still dare to lie to me. If I say it's you, then it's you!" As he spoke, a black cone-shaped stream of air formed in front of him and shot towards Li Qingshan's chest.
Li Qingshan dodged in a sorry state and fell into the snow. He hurriedly shouted, "Wait, it's me. I'll give it to you!"
The masked man laughed, "At least you know what's good for you!"
Li Qingshan reluctantly took out the Sword Qi Calligraphy and asked, "Tell me, who told you that I bought the Sword Qi Calligraphy? Was it that woman who passed the message??"
The masked man casually grunted and looked at the Sword Qi Calligraphy with excitement. He did not know if he had thought of the same thing as Li Qingshan when he obtained the Sword Qi Calligraphy.
Li Qingshan said hatefully, "I won't let her go."
The masked man thought to himself, 'Why would I let you go?' He changed the topic, "Also, hand over your hundred treasures pouch!"
Li Qingshan shouted, "Don't even think about it!"
The masked man said, "Then I'll take it myself!" He patted his waist and a shining small sword flew out, heading straight for Li Qingshan's head.
He was a bit careless. The flying sword of an eighth layer Qi Practitioner could deal with a fourth layer Qi Practitioner as easily as cutting melons and vegetables. The reason why he said so much was just to be cautious. He wanted to test if Li Qingshan had a powerful master to back him up, so he did not offend someone he could not afford to offend. After testing and confirming that Li Qingshan was indeed a normal loose cultivator, he did not hesitate to kill him.
A ray of light reflected off the sunlight and dazzled the masked man's eyes, turning into a rainbow. It only took an instant.
The sound of metal clashing and sparks flew everywhere. The flying sword spun and flew high into the sky.
A black cloud shrouded the masked man's head. He raised his head in surprise and saw a pair of eyes filled with killing intent. Then he saw a blade, a long blade made of ice!
In a daze, he seemed to see a huge black tiger pouncing towards him with an ice crystal blade in its mouth.
Heaven and earth were filled with killing intent.
All of this happened in the blink of an eye. Li Qingshan threw himself onto the snowy ground and quietly held the Whale's Ingestion of Water in his hand. The ice blade formed, and the moment the flying sword was about to hit him, he swung the blade upwards and sent the flying sword flying.
Without any hesitation, he threw himself forward and exerted strength in his limbs. He was like a tiger pouncing on its prey, pouncing towards the masked man.
"This kid hid his strength!" The black-clothed masked man was worthy of being an eighth layer Qi Practitioner. In an instant, he broke free from the restraints of the killing intent. As this thought flashed through his mind, he crossed his hands several times, then raised them up. Raising Fire to Burn the Heavens, a black energy howled and spiraled out.
The blade and the black energy collided fiercely, giving off an ear-piercing sound. It was like a chainsaw cutting through metal. Ice shards flew everywhere.
Li Qingshan let out a wild roar and poured all of his Gui Water energy into the blade. He did not hold back at all. He gathered all of his essence, qi, and spirit into the blade and chopped down with all his might.
It was like a volcano that had been suppressed for a thousand years had finally erupted. An extremely comfortable feeling welled up in his heart. Regardless of the outcome of this strike, he already felt extremely carefree.
The ice crystal blade was also extremely carefree. It broke through the black energy vortex. The masked man turned pale with fright. This was definitely not the strength a fourth layer Qi Practitioner should have!
The blade cut through the protective energy, giving off a sharp whistling sound. A stream of blood splattered onto the pure white snowy ground.
Following that, a strong wind swept away the snow within a radius of several feet, revealing the black frozen ground below.
On the frozen ground, there was a deep blade mark.
Li Qingshan held the blade and stood upright. He gently touched the frozen blood on the blade and raised his head to look at the top of the forest.
The masked man covered the wound on his chest and looked down.
Their eyes met. It was like an invisible blade and sword clashing in the air, fiercely colliding countless times.
