Daoist Qiu crashed to the ground, fresh blood flowing from his body. His eyes were wide open, and he died with everlasting regret. ("")
The surrounding wandering cultivators were all dumbfounded. Li Qingshan shook his head. This was indeed a terrifying technique, but locking himself up in this small room was their greatest mistake.
If he had used this bit of true qi to cast spells from afar, even Li Qingshan would find it very troublesome. But at such a close distance, there was no way he could dodge the terrifying sword qi released by the Cursive Sword Calligraphy. He didn't even have the chance to cast spells.
And Daoist Qiu was still a seventh layer Qi Practitioner, not a tenth layer Qi Practitioner. His reaction speed was still slightly inferior to that of the black-clothed masked man Just Now. And how could his unrefined protective true qi block the sword qi?
"President!" Han Xiong roared and pounced at Li Qingshan.
The ice blade stabbed into Han Xiong's body, and the blade came out through his back. Han Xiong's eyes were bloodshot, and he continued to madly charge forward, wanting to grab Li Qingshan's shoulder.
But under Li Qingshan's cold gaze, his body quickly froze into an ice sculpture. His face was pale, and he looked as sinister as a ghost.
Li Qingshan twisted the blade's hilt, and the ice sculpture shattered, splattering all over the ground. Han Xiong's dismembered corpse covered the entire small room.
The ice blade suddenly disappeared, and reappeared behind Li Qingshan. It cut off the head of a wandering cultivator who was holding a longsword and about to stab Li Qingshan. At this moment, a sharp whistle tore through the air.
Following Daoist Qiu's death, all the wandering cultivators fell into a frenzy of rage. They no longer feared death. Li Qingshan was their father's murderer.
Dozens of hands reached out, and dozens of eyes glared angrily. The small room seemed to spin, and Li Qingshan stood in the center, feeling slightly dizzy.
Was this what it felt like?
Before he could even think, the ice blade danced in a blue and white blur.
Seven hands were sent flying and four legs were severed. A young man was sliced in half. Just Now, the rogue cultivator who wanted to share his body was sliced in half at the waist. Fortunately, they did not feel any pain. The cold penetrated deep into their bodies and froze all of their corpses. They fell to the ground and shattered.
It sounded like someone had thrown a bunch of glassware on the ground.
From life to death, it only took an instant. The moment he landed, he turned into ice dust.
A flying sword pierced through the net of blades and went straight for Li Qingshan's temple. Without turning his head, Li Qingshan raised his hand and pinched the flying sword. The flying sword trembled like a small snake, but it could not break free.
Li Qingshan tilted his head and met the eyes of the sixth layer Qi Practitioner. With a casual toss of his hand, the flying sword shot out uncontrollably and embedded itself deeply into the wooden door, the tail of the sword trembling incessantly.
The other sixth layer Qi Practitioner sprawled on the ground in panic. Just Now, he wanted to activate the formation and escape. If not for his quick reaction, he would have been pierced through the head.
The two of them were the core members of the Truth-seeking Society. Perhaps it was because they were strong enough that they were not as controlled. They were not as crazy as normal rogue cultivators. As soon as Priest Qiu died, they rushed forward without a care. One wanted to sneak an attack, the other wanted to escape.
Li Qingshan's left hand also held the hilt of his blade. Now he held it with both hands, the tip of the blade pointing behind him as he crouched down slightly.
Li Qingshan's figure disappeared. The cold wind swept up the ice dust like an angry ice dragon, charging towards the sixth layer Qi Practitioner who wanted to sneak an attack.
All the rogue cultivators who blocked the path of the ice dragon were crushed and turned into a part of the ice dust.
The sixth layer Qi Practitioner was shocked. He reacted quickly and took out a high grade scarlet fire talisman to activate it. He shouted, "Die!"
The sixth layer Qi Practitioner at the door shouted, "No!"
The scarlet fire talisman had already spat out flames that resembled the breath of a fire dragon.
The ice dragon and fire dragon collided.
Boom!
A loud explosion shook the entire valley. Sacred Hall
The roof of the secluded hut in the valley was lifted several feet high by the shockwave and shattered into pieces in the air. A puff of white smoke rose from the hut. Because of the array, the hut still maintained its original structure, but it was charred black everywhere.
The dozen or so figures who had quietly gathered around hurriedly crouched down and looked at the little house not far away in shock, not knowing what had happened.
Little Ann let out a sigh of relief. He had already sensed Li Qingshan's aura.
The Whale's Ingestion of Water Blade in Li Qingshan's hand had turned into a strange shape. The edge of the blade extended in all directions, forming a huge ball of ice that covered Li Qingshan. Although it was very thin, it was enough to block the explosion of the scarlet fire talisman. The long and narrow edge of the blade had already pinned the sixth layer Qi Practitioner to the charred wall.
This Whale's Ingestion of Water Blade was extremely useful to him. With his ability to react in battle, he was able to make full use of the blade's transformations.
However, because he was only at the fourth layer of Qi Refining, he still couldn't completely control this high grade spiritual weapon. If it weren't for the fact that he cultivated Gui Water True Qi and that his true qi was extremely pure, he wouldn't have been able to display such power.
Li Qingshan pulled out the blade, and the Qi Practitioner slid down from the wall and landed on the ground with a bang.
Li Qingshan turned around. The only living person left in the room was the sixth layer Qi Practitioner at the door, but he was also heavily injured. The wooden door he had wanted to open had already been blown open, and the formation had completely dissipated. He crawled out with difficulty.
The other wandering cultivators had all been turned into charred corpses in the explosion.
It was just like how using a Lightning Summoning Talisman in a thunderstorm would have an extremely strong effect. The small hut sealed off with formations completely restricted the power of the Scarlet Fire Talisman to the cramped space, constantly condensing and compressing it. Even sixth layer Qi Practitioners would be heavily injured if they did not possess a defensive spiritual artifact.
Li Qingshan walked over slowly with his blade in hand. The Qi Practitioner looked back in fear, doing everything he could to mobilise the remaining true qi in his body.
"D- don't kill me. I was forced to do this."
However, Li Qingshan did not hesitate at all. He was expressionless, but there was a hint of confusion in his eyes, as if he was thinking about something he did not understand. He arrived before the Qi Practitioner and raised his blade.
"Stop. The Hawkwolf Guard will handle this." Over a dozen people leapt out from the snowy ground and drew their blades with a series of swishes. The Wind-entwining blades shone brightly under the sunlight as they pointed them directly at Li Qingshan. Nine Wolf Fang flying blades hovered in the air, ready to strike.
The invisibility technique had lost its effect, revealing their black uniforms of the Hawkwolf Guard. Every single one of them was a commander. The man in the lead was dressed in scarlet clothes, but he was a scarlet wolf. He did not carry a blade. Instead, thin chains wrapped around him, flickering with light.
"Argh!" With a short, miserable shriek, Li Qingshan raised his blade and swung it down. The Qi Practitioner's head rolled down the stairs of the hut.
"How dare you!" The man in scarlet clothes became furious. The chains in his hands immediately thickened and lengthened, reaching straight out with a clatter. The tip of the chains turned into a snake's head, biting towards Li Qingshan.
Li Qingshan tilted his head slightly and dodged the snake's head, but the chains suddenly twisted in the air. They circled around a few times before tightening suddenly, wrapping around Li Qingshan. The snake's head bit firmly into Li Qingshan's shoulder.
Li Qingshan's Gui Water true qi immediately seemed to freeze, unable to circulate at all.
The man in scarlet clothes rejoiced inside, and a sneer appeared on his lips. His Python Constrictor Chain was a high grade spiritual artifact he had obtained after carrying out who knew how many missions and how much contribution he had obtained. It could twist and turn at will, making it much more useful than regular flying swords. Once it entangled an enemy, it could seal off their true qi. Qi Practitioners without true qi would obviously be unable to put up any resistance. Who knew how many criminals he had captured with this spiritual artifact.
The other Hawkwolf commanders all relaxed. Only a beautiful woman among them furrowed her brows slightly. She wore the uniform of a Black Wolf commander, and she was only at the fifth layer. She could basically be regarded as one of the weakest among these people.
However, she glanced at the tall, sturdy man before looking at the ruins behind him. Her face was filled with doubt.
According to the tip-off, the remnant of the White Lotus Sect, Qiu Ruiliu, should be there. There should be several dozen independent cultivators around him as well. Qiu Ruiliu was only at the seventh layer, yet he was able to make the Scarlet Wolf guard in the prefectural city send a Scarlet Wolf and mobilise all the commanders in the nearby Hawkwolf guard to assist him.
Although the White Lotus Sect was the mortal enemy of all the Hawkwolf guards in the Ruyi commandery, Qiu Ruiliu was not easy to deal with since the higher-ups had mobilised so much. Now, all of these people seemed to be dead. They had died to this man's hands. However, he clearly noticed that even when the chains wrapped around the man, he did not panic at all.
"Get over here!" The man in scarlet clothes tugged on the Python Constrictor Chain. The chain became taut, but he was immediately stunned. Li Qingshan did not budge at all.
"Get over here!" Li Qingshan grabbed the chain and tugged hard.
The man in scarlet clothes felt an irresistible force pass through the chain. Caught off-guard, he was pulled into the air. He was filled with disbelief. All of the power of Qi Practitioners originated from the true qi in their bodies. How could he still possess such terrifying power when his true qi was locked up?
Li Qingshan thought, I've never lost to anyone in terms of strength. Though, why are there Hawkwolf guards here? Have they discovered my identity and want to take me back?
His gaze swept past the dozen or so Hawkwolf guards before suddenly stopping on the beautiful woman. He thought, Qian Rongzhi! He had never expected her to come as well, but she did not seem to recognise him. That meant they had not come to capture him, so he eased up slightly.
Apart from Qian Rongzhi, the other commanders were all stunned. Wu Gen was only a Scarlet Wolf guard and not a commander, but he was still half a level higher than them, who were all black iron commanders. He was much stronger too, having reached the eighth layer. The high grade spiritual artifact in his hand, the Python Constrictor Chain, made them envious too. They never thought they would fail to restrain this unknown independent cultivator in a single stroke.
Now, they went to his aid in a hurry. Flying blades shot over. Even if they could not control flying blades, they still rushed over with them.
Qian Rongzhi said, "Be careful. This person is born with tremendous strength. He might even be a Body Practitioner!"
