He had spent all his low-grade spirit stones.

Li Ming was very satisfied.

For him, exchanging resources for strength was very worth it.

With these pills, he could continue cultivating.

With all that done, Li Ming, who no longer had any more money in his bag, strolled around the market.

It was not often that he came out here, so he wanted to take a look around and see what was being sold in the market.

“A freshly-made magic mirror. First come, first served. Come and buy it before it gets taken by someone else…”

“A precious purple spirit orchid for the low price of five low-grade spirit stones…”

“Cultivation techniques for sale…”

The street vendors were also doing their best to sell their wares.

Li Ming really did see some antique sellers.

He had only come out to see what was new. After walking around for a while, he turned around and prepared to return home.

Following the crowd, not far after leaving the city square, a haunting figure appeared in front of Li Ming again.

His eyes were filled with anger and his expression was dark.

It was Duan Xiuwen, who had been defeated by Li Ming back on the combat stage.

Duan Xiuwen could not stand the fact that he had been defeated by Li Ming and humiliated in front of so many disciples.

After he returned, the more he thought about it, the angrier he got.

He came out to look for Li Ming and kept an eye on him.

Duan Xiuwen was overjoyed to find out that Li Ming had left the sect.

Without the protection of the sect’s law enforcement hall, this was a once-in-a-thousand-years opportunity!

Hence, after Li Ming left the sect, he followed Li Ming all the way to the market.

And when Li Ming left the market and went into the forest, he would stand in Li Ming’s way. This time, he planned to get rid of him outside the sect!

As for Li Ming, who he believed to have just been lucky to knock him off of the ring, Duan Xiuwen had regarded him as a disgrace. He believed that he had to completely erase the other party so as to decrease the shame from his loss.



On a wide dirt road, green mountains rose and fell on both sides.

This was the area between the market and the Divine Will Sect.

Li Ming stopped in his tracks and looked at Duan Xiuwen, who had a gloomy expression on his face.

The other party’s mentality was even more fragile than he had imagined.

Or it could be said that his attack was too simple and unadorned, which made the other party feel unconvinced of his loss…

“Li Ming!”

Duan Xiuwen took out his own magical artifact from his sleeve—the profound bright magic sword.

As an important disciple who had completed the qi refinement stage and was about to reach the foundation establishment stage, the Divine Will Sect was not stingy with him and gave him this magical artifact to nurture and refine.

Previously, in the arena, Duan Xiuwen had thought that he would not even need to use the magical artifact to obtain victory.

In the end, he was forced to use his magical artifact, but before he could even properly use it, he was sent flying by a punch.

It had to be said that he had indeed underestimated his opponent.

However, why would he care about a mere fifth-level qi refinement cultivator?

“Swish!”

Duan Xiuwen did not hold back this time.

He directly took out his magical artifact and said through gritted teeth, “Li Ming, you can only blame yourself for being too arrogant…”

Li Ming’s eyes flickered as he looked at Duan Xiuwen and asked, “Don’t you know that killing fellow disciples is against the rules of the sect?”

“Hah, you’re just a fifth-level qi refinement cultivator. No one would care even if you went missing outside,” Duan Xiuwen grinned hideously.

“Die!”

The murderous intent in Duan Xiuwen’s vicious eyes surged.

He formed a hand seal and waved the profound bright magic sword. The sword whistled through the air as it stabbed forward.

The white spiritual qi on the sword blade became increasingly solid, turning into sword shadows.

In an instant, the sword shadows enveloped Li Ming.

Li Ming frowned slightly. The attack of this magical artifact was more dangerous than before.

When he saw Duan Xiuwen make his move, he immediately flew toward the forest.

The blades of sword qi landed on the ground, leaving deep marks.

In Li Ming’s opinion, Duan Xiuwen must have lost his mind and wanted to get rid of him when there were no witnesses.

“You’re running?”

Duan Xiuwen saw Li Ming slip into the forest.

He looked a little flustered. At this point, he naturally could not let Li Ming escape.

Otherwise, he would have to face the punishment for the grave crimes of attacking and attempting to kill a disciple outside the sect.

He immediately activated Spiritual Steps and chased after Li Ming into the forest.

At the same time, his body erupted with the aura of a perfected level qi refinement cultivator.

“You can’t escape!”

“Fight me head-on if you have the guts…”

Duan Xiuwen saw that Li Ming was constantly moving through the forest. He knew that Li Ming’s movement technique was powerful, so he did not dare to be careless.

At that moment, he exerted his spiritual power and erupted with an extremely fast speed to catch up.

However, he was not fast enough, so he had to look left and right as he ran, trying to find any tracks of Li Ming.

All of a sudden, a figure appeared under the shade of a tree and flew toward Duan Xiuwen.

It was Li Ming, who had been lying in ambush for quite some time.

He knew that Duan Xiuwen’s spiritual qi was dense, so he had to rely on his own close-range burst.

He had to defeat him in one fell swoop.

“Swish!”

Faced with Li Ming’s sneak attack, Duan Xiuwen gritted his teeth and drew out his profound bright magic sword to block with all his might.

Both sides attacked with their full power.

Li Ming did not care about the magical artifact at all.

He visualized the forest divinity of the five divinities.

A punch landed on Duan Xiuwen’s profound bright magic sword.

At the same time, the Blazing Sun Body Tempering Art enhanced his punch with a burning effect.

Even if it was a magical artifact, Li Ming did not retreat at all.

Bang!

He did not budge.

He, he withstood it?

Duan Xiuwen was dumbfounded.

Seeing that Li Ming had actually used his hand to fight against his magical artifact, he felt as if all the immortal cultivation he had learned in the past had been in vain.

He used his bare hands to against a magical artifact?

Duan Xiuwen’s longsword quickly became hot under the high temperature that came with the punch.

The spiritual qi on the sword began diffusing as smoke.

Duan Xiuwen’s face turned pale when he felt that his hands were about to be burned.

“My magical artifact!”

Duan Xiuwen was still in a daze, his face full of shock.

At this time, Li Ming was already right next to Duan Xiuwen. Compared to him, Duan Xiuwen’s thin and weak body was like meat on a chopping board.

“Hiss…”

Duan Xiuwen was shocked. How could Li Ming’s strength be so great?

In the next moment, his arm was broken by Li Ming.

“Aaahhh!” Duan Xiuwen cried out in pain. Li Ming’s hand was like an iron claw, and he could not break free.

The spiritual qi that he desperately burst out with seemed to be of no use.

“Stop! I’ll give you whatever you want! Don’t… Aahh!”

Li Ming stared at Duan Xiuwen coldly.

He broke another arm, revealing the white bones within.

Duan Xiuwen’s arms were crippled, and his facial features were twisted in pain.

Li Ming said lightly, “Those who humiliate others will be humiliated in return.”

At this moment, Duan Xiuwen, who could only wail, had no energy to respond.

Li Ming would not show any mercy to Duan Xiuwen who had wanted to take his life.

“Crack!”

He crippled his legs as well.

Even if he was still alive, he would ultimately only be a cripple.

Being in close contact with a body cultivator in battle was a nightmare for qi cultivators.

Duan Xiuwen, who had lived a pampered life, naturally could not touch a body that had been tempered thousands of times.

Duan Xiuwen had already fainted from the pain.

In the end, Li Ming still spared Duan Xiuwen’s life. As a disciple of the Divine Will Sect, Duan Xiuwen could not possibly pose a threat to him.

His previous indifference toward Duan Xiuwen was like that of a man to a grasshopper.

However, Duan Xiuwen had angered him.

As such, he decided to directly cripple him.

As for his life, he had other uses for it.

Li Ming threw Duan Xiuwen to the side like a dead dog.

He looked at his right hand, which had been severely injured by the profound bright magic sword. His hand was currently covered in blood.

His skin and bone were damaged by the sword.

“This magical artifact is quite sharp…”

He had dodged Duan Xiuwen’s previous attacks with the Wind Lightning Steps. Even though he was a body refinement cultivator, he did not have the habit of torturing himself.

However, the situation just now was urgent. And in the end, he had faced the full-powered attack of a perfected level qi refinement cultivator.

It was a fierce attack from a refined magical treasure.

He wanted to finish off his opponent as soon as possible.

As such, Li Ming took the magical artifact head-on and ultimately took damage. His right hand was seriously injured and he now needed to rest it for a while.

His emotions did not grow turbulent from this. He simply took it in stride. He failed to completely block the magic sword, which simply told him that his body still had much to improve on.
