Lingxu, Sword Coffin, Blind Swordsman

Qin Gang's eyes flickered as he raised his hand, several sword strikes blocking Li Guanchi's retreat.

Then, he turned to look at the sealing thunder pillars falling from the sky and the three giant gates on the horizon, his eyes flashing slightly.

He murmured in a low voice.

"Formless Sword Art!"

With a raise of his hand, several terrifying sword lights erupted instantly!

The sharp sword energy actually caused the surrounding space to twist slightly, and countless dense, fine cracks appeared where the sword芒 passed.

Boom!!!

Several violent explosions rang out as the three giant gates were instantly shattered into pieces.

Li Guanchi groaned, and affected by the energy, blood surged in his body, forcing him to retreat violently!

He raised his hand and unleashed several sword strikes, shattering the sword light in front of him, suppressing the restless power within his body, and charged forward again!

Flames swirled around him, and only a pair of eyes were visible beneath the Thunder Flame Armor.

Clang clang clang!!!

Clang clang!!

The dense sound of metal clashing rang out, and the violent attacks would have left any onlookers afraid to breathe.

However, the old man remained at ease in the face of this violent offensive.

The sound of blades clashing in the Sword Pavilion hardly paused.

Even throughout the entire process, the old man's consumption of immortal essence was much lower than Li Guanchi's.

In the end, Li Guanchi even needed to consciously control his output of immortal essence.

Dong!!

The dull sound of the evening drum came, and Li Guanchi knelt on the ground, covered in blood.

This time, the old man still did not step out of the circle...

Qin Gang smiled, humming a little tune as he walked out of the Sword Pavilion with a tree branch in hand.

"Cultivate well, and continue tomorrow."

These short eight words gave Li Guanchi a headache.

Lying on the ground for a full incense stick's worth of time, Li Guanchi barely managed to support his heavily injured body as he entered the medicinal pool.

The color of the medicinal pool had become even more concentrated at some point.

Li Guanchi did not notice this, only feeling that the stinging sensation was even more intense when he absorbed the medicinal power of the pool today.

Li Guanchi raised his hand and touched the sword mark on his neck, feeling a lingering fear in his heart.

Just as the old man had said, Qin Gang showed no mercy in their fight!

A slight carelessness would result in a severe injury.

This forced Li Guanchi to be extremely vigilant.

With his mind tightly strained, his mental energy was greatly depleted.

Li Guanchi raised his hand and threw out hundreds of immortal crystals beside the medicinal pool.

Using his remaining immortal essence to shatter the immortal crystals, a rich immortal spiritual energy surrounded the medicinal pool.

Li Guanchi closed his eyes slightly and entered a state of cultivation again.

Qin Gang sat in the courtyard, poured himself a cup of tea, took a sip, and murmured.

"His rate of progress is so fast... at this rate, I'm afraid he'll be able to force me out of the circle in just over a month."

"I'm really looking forward to the unrestrained battle after being able to step out of the circle."

"Hey, this little guy is quite impressive."

Qin Gang flashed and disappeared from the small courtyard, beginning to handle the various affairs of the sect.

Li Guanchi, like yesterday, began to browse the books in the Sword Pavilion.

Days passed one by one. During this time, Gu Li was unable to contact Li Guanchi, so he simply went to Thunder Peak to cultivate in seclusion.

In just half a month, Gu Li broke through again!

Profound Immortal Seventh Stage!

This was after Gu Li refined his Profound Immortal Sixth Stage cultivation.

And Gu Li did not cultivate every day.

Whenever there were elders lecturing in the various peaks, he would also go to attend the classes.

Especially when Luan Jin, the peak master of Heavenly Water Peak, gave lectures.

Usually, Gu Li would stay behind alone after the woman finished lecturing.

He would debate with the woman in the hall about the Dao, and Gu Li never felt he had learned enough about the Dao of Talismans.

And Luan Jin later adapted to this, and even searched for many ancient books and jade scrolls about the Dao of Talismans for him from various channels.

After Qin Gang learned about this, he invited an obscure master of the Dao of Talismans in just one day.

Although he was only in the True Immortal Realm, he also had his own insights into the Dao of Talismans.

But this talisman teacher only taught Gu Li for seven days.

After seven days, the man refused to stay in the Great Xia Sword Sect no matter what.

Finally, Qin Gang asked Luan Jin and found out.

Gu Li copied the other party's best talisman in front of him.

And modified it into a more powerful talisman!

But after Qin Gang learned about this, not only did he not blame Gu Li, but he began to look for capable talisman masters for him one after another.

The reconstruction of the sect's Opening Void Formation is also in full swing.

Li Nantin has been very busy during this time, but the little old man is enjoying it.

Even his cultivation realm is faintly showing a tendency to increase.

One month of secluded cultivation in the Sword Pavilion of Heavenly Sword Peak.

During this period, Li Guanchi also forced Qin Gang's cultivation realm to the ninth level of the Heavenly Immortal Realm!

Dong!

The heavy sound of the drum rang.

Qin Gang put down the tree branch in his hand, looked at the heavily injured Li Guanchi lying on the ground, and smiled slightly.

"Not bad."

"When you can force me out of the circle, it will be when I step out of the circle and fight you."

Li Guanchi lay on the ground, gasping for breath, with a slight smile on his lips.

"I'm looking forward to it."

The old man smiled slightly when he heard this, looked up at the direction of the Sword Pavilion, and said with a smile.

"If you have finished reading the first floor, go to the second floor."

Li Guanchi nodded slightly. After the old man left, he dragged his tired body towards the second floor of the Sword Pavilion.

The layout of the second floor was similar to that of the first floor, but the number of ancient books and sword manuals was less than that of the first floor, and the quality was also higher.

Li Guanchi entered the same medicinal pool and began to repair his injuries and read and cultivate.

During this time, he felt that the power in his body was becoming more and more solid, and the foundation was gradually becoming firm.

Not only that, his control over his physical body and immortal essence was completely different from before.

According to his own understanding, his current strength is at least 20% stronger than before he came to Heavenly Sword Peak.

Even if it's not 20%, it's not much different.

Looking down at the dense wounds on his body, Li Guanchi did not have too many emotional fluctuations.

If you want to improve your strength, you have to suffer.

These hardships are nothing to Li Guanchi. Compared to improving his strength, he can still accept being injured.

Moreover, no matter what, the old man would not really kill him, so he would definitely not let go of this opportunity to fight freely.

Time flew by, and another month passed.

This was already the second month since Li Guanchi left his own courtyard.

When the familiar sound of the drum rang, Qin Gang looked down at the torn robe on his body, and his eyes narrowed.

He said casually.

"Not bad."

"Should you go to the third floor today?"

Li Guanchi said softly: "Yes, Sect Master."

Qin Gang nodded slightly.

"How have you been feeling about the insights into the sword dao and sword intent recently?"

Li Guanchi frowned and said truthfully.

"What I have learned is mixed, which has ultimately had some impact on me, but I am still firm in my own path."

"I have also gained some insights into sword intent recently."

The old man put his hands behind his back and nodded, with a look of contemplation on his face.

After a long while, he looked at Li Guanchi and said softly.

"You cultivate first today, I'll think about it carefully."
