C22 Kill Zhang Qi

Just as Li Ming was planning to turn around and speak to Zhuge Yun, suddenly, three needles formed and shot towards Li Ming.

Li Ming didn't expect that there would be enemies hidden in the dark, and furthermore, he didn't see anyone amongst the Sensory Perception of a Fighter. He couldn't dodge in time, and was hit by a thin needle in his left hand. Following that, a wave of numbness directly caused Li Ming's left hand to become temporarily unusable.

After being injured, Li Ming immediately said: "I do not know who is doing this in secret. I hope that friends who are in the dark can come out to meet us." As he spoke, Li Ming took out a Small Revitalizing Pellet from the storage bag and placed it into his mouth.

"Hehe!" "Little friend, there's no need to be anxious. This old man will just come out." As the sound of his voice faded, an old man walked out.

"It's you!" I wonder why you came to block my path? " This old man was the same old man that Li Ming had seen in the hall of Source Stones Auction House the other day.

The one who came was Zhang Qi.

In fact, when Li Ming and Jian Zhi were fighting earlier, Zhang Qi had already arrived at the small forest. However, Zhang Qi originally wanted to be a fisherman, so he did not come out immediately. Furthermore, whether it was Li Ming's victory or Jian Zhi's victory, the only victor left was Zhang Qi.

But Zhang Qi did not expect Li Ming to be so strong, and he finished Jian Zhi off in such a short time. Furthermore, Zhang Qi had discovered that Li Ming's strength was not inferior to his, and there was a possibility that he was still half a step into the Core Formation stage. However, under the control of greed, Zhang Qi did not leave. As expected, Li Ming did not expect that the fisherman in the shadows would actually have been taken by Zhang Qi.

"Little friend, there is no need to be angry. Let this old man introduce himself first. My name is Zhang Qi, and I am Fine Stone Sect's branch master in the Elemental Rock City, and am in charge of all the affairs of Fine Stone Sect in the Elemental Rock City. " Zhang Qi slowly said as he looked at Li Ming.

"Then, why did Sect Leader Zhang come to stop me?"

"Hehe, I believe little friend should know about it!" You have so many Spirit Stones, who wouldn't be jealous? Moreover, you still have 1500 years of Scarlet Fruit on you. All of these things are tempting me to come and kill you. Also, since little friend asked in such detail, you must be trying to stall for time, right? However, it's not that easy to dispel the poison from my Life Seizing Golden Needle. "

Hearing Zhang Qi's words, Li Ming was speechless. Thinking about it, how many people in this world wouldn't kill for benefits? However, what Li Ming was paying more attention to was Zhang Qi's last words. The poison on this golden needle was not easy to cure. Actually, Li Ming had also felt it himself. The medicinal power of the Small Revitalizing Pellet had only temporarily sealed the poison on the golden needle, and did not let it spread. However, it had not been dispelled, and Li Ming's left hand was currently still unable to use it.

And now that he felt something unusual with his left hand, Li Ming's expression couldn't help but sink. If he could use his left hand now, Li Ming would be able to use his monoyang finger and sword to kill Zhang Qi, a peak Foundation Establishment stage cultivator, in a short period of time! However, Li Ming's left hand was temporarily unusable, which also meant that right now, Li Ming could only use one attack method at the same time. This way, Li Ming's strength would undoubtedly decrease by a lot. Furthermore, in the battle, Li Ming had to divert his attention to control the poison on his left hand. After adding everything together, Li Ming's current strength was equivalent to a cultivator at the peak of the Foundation Establishment stage.

"Judging from little friend's expression, you must have also felt the strength of my Gold Needle Poison!" Now, let this old man take care of you! End your pain. " With that said, Zhang Qi took out his small sword and struck towards Li Ming.

As Li Ming had never met a cultivator that used his weapon to attack from a distance before, he was momentarily flustered.

While Zhang Qi was using his little sword to attack Li Ming, he said: "Little friend, you shouldn't waste your time, once you are infected with my Gold Needle Poison, the moment you use the true energy, it will only increase the speed at which the Gold Needle Poison spreads. Little friend, it's better not to resist."

Li Ming did not pay attention to what Zhang Qi said as he continuously searched for a way to detoxify the poison in his body.

"Looks like little friend is planning on stubbornly resisting until the end. In that case, little friend needs to prepare. Look at my golden needle …" Looking at Li Ming who was still resisting, Zhang Qi once again shot his Lifesteal Gold Needle at Li Ming.

Seeing the three needles that Zhang Qi had shot over, Li Ming immediately used her microstep to dodge them. Moreover, it had widened the distance between him and Zhang Qi.

Seeing that his own golden needles did not hit Li Ming, Zhang Qi was not in a good mood, he controlled his golden needles to attack Li Ming once again.

Time gradually flowed by as Li Ming and Zhang Qi battled. In this period of time, Li Ming was still unable to detoxify the poison in his body. However, under the suppression of the Small Revitalizing Pellet and the Innate Qi from Li Ming, the poison on Li Ming's left hand would not spread to other parts of his body for a short period of time. This way, Li Ming could finish off Zhang Qi in the next few minutes.

Zhang Qi had thought that he would be able to take care of Li Ming during this period of time, but he didn't expect that Li Ming would be a warrior that had the same level as him in the Nascent Profound Realm.

In this period of time, less than half of Zhang Qi's true energy had already been consumed, and because of Li Ming's ethereal body, he did not use any major techniques. Thus, the consumption of true energy in his body could be said to be extremely small.

At this time, the battle had turned hot, and at the same time, Li Ming activated his microstep to quickly dodge Zhang Qi's attack.

When Zhang Qi saw Li Ming's monoyang finger flying over, he immediately dodged it. However, the Twilight monoyang finger's speed still made Zhang Qi flustered.

Seeing that her own monoyang finger had such an effect, Li Ming quickly increased the speed at which he shot her monoyang finger, and wave after wave of finger force s continued to fly towards Zhang Qi.

At this time, the heavens seemed to have played a joke on Zhang Qi. First, it was Zhang Qi who attacked, and then Li Ming blocked, changing into the current Zhang Qi who was constantly dodging Li Ming's attacks. Furthermore, the situation was getting worse for Zhang Qi.

There was a saying: When it rains, it rains. This was the feeling Zhang Qi got! At this time, Zhang Qi was constantly dodging attacks, and furthermore, the situation was getting worse. Furthermore, after such a long battle, Zhang Qi no longer had many true energy left in his body!

Now, looking at Li Ming's expression, it seemed that the true energy did not consume much energy, so Zhang Qi had thoughts of retreating. Although he was unreconciled in his heart, the situation now was evidently becoming more disadvantageous for him. Zhang Qi had no choice but to do so. Now, Zhang Qi no longer held any hope of killing Li Ming, and only hoped that he could escape this calamity.

Although he had already decided to quickly leave this place, Zhang Qi had lived for more than a hundred years. He was definitely an old cunning fox, and he knew that he could not show any signs of retreating during a battle.

Just then, Li Ming saw that Zhang Qi's attacks were getting fiercer and fiercer, and thought that Zhang Qi was planning to fight to his death. As a result, he changed his attacking style and changed his fighting style to a more stable one.

Seeing that Li Ming had changed his attacking method, Zhang Qi could not wait. After a burst of fierce attacks, Zhang Qi quickly used his Imperial Equipment Technique and flew backwards.

When Li Ming saw Zhang Qi escaping at top speed, he froze for a moment. Then, he quickly used his microstep to chase after him.

Li Ming was not a saint, but instead an extremely vengeful person. Otherwise, he wouldn't have killed all of the Zhu Family's cultivators in the Ascending Stone City. Therefore, it was the same this time, when Zhang Qi injured Li Ming's left arm, Li Ming did not intend to let go of Zhang Qi.

At this time, Li Ming and Zhang Qi, one chasing after the other, instantly left the small forest where they were fighting.

Just like that, an hour passed quickly. In this half an hour, Li Ming and Zhang Qi had already flown over a hundred miles, and in this period of time, Li Ming had not only completely replenished the true energy he had expended, he had even injured Zhang Qi's right arm with the monoyang finger.

In this half an hour, not only did Zhang Qi have to maintain a fast speed to escape, he also had to be vigilant of the monoyang finger that came from behind. Finally, on a small mountain peak, Zhang Qi stopped his escape.

"What is it? No more escaping? " Li Ming who had rushed over looked at Zhang Qi and asked.

"I'm not running anymore, my true energy has been exhausted. There's no point in continuing to run, I might as well fight for it again!" Zhang Qi looked at Li Ming, who was not far away, and said with a wry smile.

"Since that's the case, then let me see how you struggle before your death."

"Watch out for the sword", as Zhang Qi spoke, he used his small true energy s to control the small swords to attack Li Ming.

"It's the same as before. There's nothing new about it. "Look at my Gale Sword Technique, which is stirring up the clouds …"

After Li Ming finished speaking, he saw Li Ming's sword move surround Zhang Qi's small sword, the small sword resisted for a moment, and then fell to the ground.

Just as the small sword was knocked to the ground by Zhang Qi, Zhang Qi spat out a mouthful of blood.

Seeing Zhang Qi spitting blood, the force of the sword in Li Ming's hand changed, and the Thirteen Lifesteal Swords's five swords struck towards Zhang Qi.

Seeing Li Ming's sword moves, although Zhang Qi wanted to dodge, unfortunately, he who had disappeared completely from the true energy could only close her eyes and wait for death.

After using the sword technique, Zhang Qi did not die, but all of his limbs from his waist down had disappeared.

In an instant, Zhang Qi fainted from the pain.

As for Li Ming, who came to Zhang Qi's side and looked at Zhang Qi's current state, although he could not bear Zhang Qi's actions, for his own purposes, he had no choice but to do so.

In order to prevent Zhang Qi from feeling any more pain, Li Ming used his right hand to perform Soul Search and pressed on Zhang Qi's head.

After a while, Li Ming finished his soul search and used monoyang finger to strike the center of Zhang Qi's brows. Then, he found a storage bag on his body and picked up the small sword on the ground.

Just as Zhang Qi was killed by Li Ming, a jade pearl inside a hall in the main entrance of Fine Stone Sect burst open, and a middle stage Foundation Establishment middle-aged man that was waiting for the sight of the broken pearl, immediately ran towards the main hall.

"Reporting to Sect Leader, the person waiting for you at the Soul Pearl Hall has something to report." This tension was the same tension that the protector of the hall had, after leaving the Jade Bead Palace, the tension had reached the front of Fine Stone Sect Leader's room.

"Come in!" A voice filled with energy came from inside the door.

With a "creak", the door creaked slightly, and Tension entered Fine Stone Sect Leader's room. Looking at Fine Stone Sect Leader who was seated cross-legged in front of him, he respectfully said in a strained voice: "Reporting to Sect Master, Elemental Rock City's Branch Sect Master Zhang Qi's soul orb just broke."

"Zhang Qi? Is it that late stage Foundation Establishment cultivator Zhang Qi? "

"Yes, Sect Leader!" It's that Zhang Qi. "

"You're saying that his soul orb has broken?"

"Yes, just now, his soul orb suddenly broke."

"Do you think he broke it at the end of his life?"

"Reporting to Clan Master, I do not think that the probability is high. Although Zhang Qi's lifespan is almost up, there shouldn't be a problem for him to live for more than ten years. Thus, Zhang Qi was most likely killed by other cultivators."

"So it's like that! Go down and ask the Third Clan Elder to investigate, I want to see who has the guts to dare kill my people in Fine Stone Country. Remember, tell the Third Clan Elder to immediately report to me if there is any news. "

"Yes, I will remember." I will go down and inform the Third Elder. "

"Alright, you may leave!"

"Yes, Sovereign." With that, the tension retreated and passed down the order to the Third Elder.

At this time, Li Ming did not know that the Fine Stone Sect had already begun to investigate him. After he left the place where he had killed Zhang Qi, he did not immediately head towards the small forest in front of him. Instead, he found a small cave and carefully flipped through the memories of Zhang Qi's soul.

"Seems like, Fine Stone Sect is not weak!" After two hours, Li Ming finally fused with most of Zhang Qi's memories. From Zhang Qi's memories, he knew that Fine Stone Sect was originally an intermediate sect, but a thousand years ago, he had suffered an attack from enemy forces. As a result, he became a small sect, and even lost a massive amount of sect resources.

The current Fine Stone Sect still had a Supreme Elder who was at the early Nascent Soul stage a thousand years ago. The current Fine Stone Sect Leader was also a cultivator with Late Core Formation, and there were also three mid Core Formation Stage, two early Core Formation Stage elders, and more than twenty late Foundation Establishment stage cultivators.

Fortunately, at that time, when the Fine Stone Sect became a small sect, the Supreme Elder had already left the Fine Stone Sect to travel. However, every time the new Sect Leader of the Fine Stone Sect took over the Sect Leader's position, she would appear once, and it had been two hundred years since she appeared.

"However, even if Fine Stone Sect is that strong, I can't possibly kill all of you just for the sake of a mere late stage Foundation Establishment cultivator! Moreover, as long as that Nascent Soul stage Supreme Elder isn't here, I'm confident in my ability to escape their encirclement. When the time comes, we'll deal with it. We'll talk about it when the time comes! Let's take a look at the rewards first! " Although Li Ming comforted himself, Li Ming still felt a lot of pressure. After all, the Fine Stone Sect Elder was an early stage Nascent Soul cultivator a thousand years ago, so who could guarantee that he was still an early stage Nascent Soul cultivator?

However, that was a matter for the future. It was fine as long as one lived in the present! At this time, the only thing that had any meaning to Li Ming was the storage bag in his hands. Looking at the storage bag in his hand, Li Ming channeled his Innate Qi into it, and in a moment, Zhang Qi's storage bag was opened.

Looking towards Zhang Qi's storage bag s, Li Ming realized that there were quite a few things inside. There were over a hundred Medial Grade Spirit Stone s and a few aged spirit medicine, but none of them were things that Li Ming needed. If he exchanged them for spirit stones, he could still exchange them for quite a few spirit stones.

Other than that, there were some low level recovery true energy pills, some low level healing pills, and even a middle level jade bottle containing the Foundation Building Pill. However, among Zhang Qi's storage bag, other than the Foundation Building Pill, the rest were all extremely low-levelled. This was probably the reason why Zhang Qi did not take them out and use them in the battle earlier. This was because after consuming a low tier pill, one had to use a certain amount of time to refine it before being able to utilize its medicinal strength. Otherwise, the pill itself wouldn't be able to utilize its medicinal strength in such a short period of time.

Looking at this Foundation Building Pill, Li Ming felt a wave of emotion in his heart. Li Ming never thought that the pellet that he originally auctioned out would, after a series of twists and turns, once again return to his hands. This was probably what the people called 'the affairs of the world is fickle'!
