Lingxu, Sword Coffin, Blind Swordsman

Li Guanqi tidied his robes, and the Mimic Worm subtly wriggled, transforming his entire appearance dramatically.

A head of golden hair was particularly striking.

Li Guanqi was very satisfied with his current look.

He imitated Ye Feng, flamboyantly flicking his hair and slightly raising the corner of his mouth.

Buzz!!!

Li Guanqi suddenly frowned, a chilling killing intent flashing in his eyes!!

The entire teleportation channel suddenly began to tremble violently, followed by an overwhelmingly powerful spatial force tearing at his flesh.

The exit of the channel, which was so close, was now moving further and further away from him.

Li Guanqi's Yuan Power roared within him, and his movement technique was pushed to its limit, but even tearing through space couldn't keep up with the dissipating light screen!

Crack! Crack, crack!!!

The space within the teleportation channel abruptly became chaotic, and the power of space strangled him.

The cultivation technique within Li Guanqi's body operated madly, terrifying Yuan Power surging and roaring within him, and the power of his blood essence also elevated his physical strength to its peak.

Almost in the blink of an eye, Li Guanqi wielded the Four-Foot Red Lotus and unleashed a full-powered sword strike!!

This sword strike was almost the limit of what he could unleash.

"Apocalypse · Drawing Sword Stance!!"

Boom!!!

The channel closed, and that nearly destructive, terrifying power instantly poured onto Li Guanqi's body.

In the space of a breath, the flesh and blood on Li Guanqi's upper body had been scraped away, leaving wounds everywhere.

The bones throughout his body emitted cracking sounds, as if they were unable to bear the weight.

Boom!!!!

The sword radiance erupted, and a terrifying sword light rose from the ground, mixed with powerful sword intent and flames.

Sizzle!!

Just as the spatial storm was about to crush him, the sword radiance tore open a crack.

Li Guanqi's chest caved in violently, and all of his ribs were broken!!!

He spat out a large mouthful of blood, and his arm was snapped by the spatial strangulation force, contorting into a bizarre arc.

The veins on Li Guanqi's neck bulged, his face turned purplish-red, and fine beads of blood seeped from his skin.

When he saw that sliver of a spatial rift, he stepped into it without the slightest hesitation.

Although he didn't know where this rift led, it was better than dying here!!

Buzz!!!

Rumble!!!

The teleportation channel instantly collapsed, and the void returned to tranquility.

Boom!!!!

In the pitch-black void, a woman dressed in white sat cross-legged beside the unconscious youth.

The woman was expressionless, her eyes dazed, not knowing what she was thinking.

Suddenly!

A soft exclamation suddenly came from the depths of the void.

An aged voice suddenly rang out.

"Tsk tsk, I didn't expect to encounter a treasure here."

"Oh? A Spirit?"

The Sword Spirit regained her senses and calmly looked towards the depths of the void, not saying a word.

After a long while, the aged voice spoke again, with a threatening tone.

"You want to protect him?"

At this moment, the Sword Spirit finally spoke, but only said four words.

"Move, you die."

Silence, the pitch-black void was silent and eerily quiet.

A full ten or so breaths passed, and the old man cautiously retreated.

The Sword Spirit lowered her head and glanced at the unconscious youth, murmuring in a voice only she could hear.

"Don't worry, I'll be here to protect you."

Not knowing how much time had passed, Li Guanqi finally woke up groggily, and the pain from his injuries made him grimace as soon as he opened his eyes.

He cursed in a low voice, "Which son of a b*tch closed the channel!!"

He didn't believe that Chu Menglan had done it; that woman wasn't stupid.

There couldn't have been a lack of spirit stones either, since Qi Rongxuan had personally inlaid them.

The only possibility was that people from the other two major sects had come to cause trouble.

The truth was just as Li Guanqi had expected; the inter-domain teleportation array was now surrounded by three forces, their swords drawn and ready to clash.

Chu Menglan pointed her sword at the man before her and angrily said, "Lu Ke! You're courting death!!"

But to her surprise, the man in the blue robe before her sneered without any fear.

He played with the two fish-eye pearls in his hand and scoffed.

"Chu Menglan, isn't your Xuan Feng Hall breaking the rules?"

"You actually opened it without authorization during the period of re-establishing control over the inter-domain teleportation array?"

"Do you know how many resources it takes to maintain the teleportation array after opening it once?"

On the other side stood a tall, cold-faced man, holding a folding fan and watching coldly.

Chu Menglan narrowed her eyes and said in a cold voice, "If anything happens to the person inside, your Heavenly Demon Sect and Shadowfiend Palace will all be buried with him!!"

Just as Lu Ke was about to speak, a pitch-black crack suddenly tore open in the void beside him.

An old man with a terrified expression rushed out from it, and without saying a word, slapped Lu Ke across the face.

Although this slap wasn't very powerful, it was extremely humiliating.

Lu Ke was slightly stunned and cursed, "Who!!! Who the h*ll is courting death!!"

Before Lu Ke could finish speaking, Qi Rongxuan slapped him across the face again.

"Who, who, who!! I'm your father!!"

Lu Ke stood up, completely stunned in place; he didn't know why he had alarmed this person to come.

Qi Rongxuan ignored him and quickly came to Chu Menglan, anxiously asking.

"What happened to the channel! Has that person arrived?"

Chu Menglan shook her head with a pale face, and said in a dry voice.

"Almost… almost that person was about to walk out, but it was suddenly closed by someone from the Heavenly Demon Sect."

Qi Rongxuan was furious upon hearing this; although his cultivation realm couldn't compare to the three sect masters present, his status was special.

Lu Ke finally realized at this moment that he seemed to have caused trouble.

To be able to make a figure like Qi Rongxuan so concerned… who exactly was inside that channel?

"Hehe, Elder Qi… why are you here?"

Qi Rongxuan glared at the man with an icy expression, and took out a very special jade slip in front of him.

The words he spoke made him feel like he had fallen into an ice cave.

"Someone attempted to assassinate Young Master Li, requesting the Heavenly Secrets Guard in the pavilion to obliterate the Heavenly Demon Sect and Shadowfiend Palace."

The old man's voice had no emotional fluctuations, as if he was talking about something completely unrelated.

But such a light sentence sentenced the two major sects to death.

Lu Ke and the cold-eyed middle-aged man's expressions changed drastically!!

"Elder Qi!! Elder Qi!!! That… that person isn't necessarily dead yet!!"

"Yes, Elder Qi, please! We didn't know that the person inside had such a noble status!"

Qi Rongxuan narrowed his eyes, and killing intent surged within them.

"Regardless of whether the person inside is dead or alive, your daring to close the channel means you are destined to pay the price!"

Before the two could speak, Qi Rongxuan and Chu Menglan disappeared from the spot together.

Leaving only two men with terrified expressions standing in place, then the two of them burst out at the same time.

"Run!"

This was the only thought in their minds at this moment.

The Heavenly Secrets Guard… was not an existence they could contend with.

Li Guanqi gritted his teeth and reattached the bones in his arm, looked at the Sword Spirit beside him and grinned.

"If it weren't for my powerful physique, I'm afraid I wouldn't have been able to withstand the first round of spatial strangulation."

The Sword Spirit smiled slightly, got up and disappeared into the void.

"Practice your sword well."
