Chapter 573 Acting
"You said it's been a whole day and a whole night, why is there no movement at all?"

Qian Tong looked into the distance with a worried look on his face, and Xie Mingcheng beside him sighed.

"If it weren't for that crazy Taoist priest, you and I wouldn't be so worried."

The two were asked by Li Ming to meet him here, but unexpectedly, as soon as Li Ming entered, they were taught a lesson by an old Taoist priest of unknown origin.

This crazy Taoist calls himself Tianxin Taoist. His strength is unfathomable. The two men have no power to fight back in front of him. Fortunately, although he seems crazy, he is not a bloodthirsty and murderous person. He only used two moves to scare the two men and then went into the secret realm on his own. If he had intended to, Qian Tong and Xie Mingcheng would have been in danger.

When they mentioned what happened before, they looked at each other and saw horror and fear in each other's eyes.

"Alas, these are truly troubled times. New talents are emerging one after another in the world, and the old generation of hermit masters are also emerging one after another. It can be seen that the undercurrents in the martial arts world are surging now, just like you and me..."

Qian Tong suddenly sighed and interrupted himself, his eyes full of helplessness.

"The four regions are in turmoil right now, and I don't know how much longer peace will last. I really envy you, Brother Xie. You're so free and easy, unlike me, who has such a heavy burden."

Xie Mingcheng shook his head and said, "Brother Qian, the people under your rule live and work in peace and contentment. You may have made some mistakes in small matters, but you have always upheld the great principles. The fact that you were able to join forces with me to stop the demonic sect a few days ago has already surpassed most of the so-called heroes in the world. You did what you knew was impossible, but you still did it. You are much better than me."

Qian Tong's face flushed slightly, and then he said, "Brother, I have never had any preferences. I only like the most beautiful women in the world. But don't worry, brother, I am not an irresponsible person. I marry them in a formal way and treat them well. I will never force these women. As for fighting against the demons, it is my duty. I know my ability. It is not easy to defend an area. I am afraid that this Sanshan City will inevitably suffer disasters in the future."

Xie Mingcheng was silent for a moment after hearing this, then shook his head and said, "I have a lazy personality and cannot handle the heavy responsibility of cultivating myself, managing my family, governing the country, and pacifying the world. I am truly unworthy of being a scholar."

Both of them are innate masters, and they are of noble status and superior position, but such people also have their own troubles.

If it were an ordinary day, there would be no danger, but now it is different. The Demon Sect is restless and its tentacles in various places are frequently moving. Not only one or two states, but there are changes everywhere.

Some are big, some are small. Some are exposed, some are destroyed, some cause huge impact, and some remain in the dark and unknown to anyone.

As the saying goes, by the time you find a mouse, there are already no more mice in the dark.

As a master of the innate level, Qian Tong manages a region and governs Sanshan City, so he naturally has some strategic vision. He knows that if the situation is different in the future and the world is in turmoil, then life will be difficult.

As for Xie Mingcheng, although he only accepted a few disciples, as a scholar, he paid attention to world affairs in his early years, so he still had some vision.

Both of them were very worried about the future situation of the world, but after all, they were not close friends, so they just exchanged a few words and then stopped there. Qian Tong immediately changed the subject.

"Hero Li entered the secret realm this time, thinking it was a sure thing. Who could have imagined such a mishap would occur?"

Xie Mingcheng stood with his hands behind his back, and said with concern, "I feel truly guilty for not being able to fulfill Master Li's instructions. If Taoist Tianxin were to harm Master Li in the secret realm, you and I would be blamed."

Qian Tong smiled awkwardly and said, "Hero Li is extremely powerful, a master at the Grandmaster level. Taoist Tianxin is indeed extraordinary, but if he were to face Hero Li, he might not be able to gain any advantage."

Hearing this, Xie Mingcheng shook his head and said, "Don't you see that this crazy Taoist priest is completely overwhelming you and me when he attacks, leaving us completely powerless to fight back. If I'm not mistaken, he has probably already condensed his magical power and can be considered to be in the realm of minor magical power. Although he has no hope of truly ascending to the realm of magical power and becoming a great power in this lifetime, his combat power is far superior to that of an ordinary Grandmaster."

"Supernatural power!" Qian Tong muttered softly, his eyes full of longing. He then sighed deeply and said, "Even if it is a half-step minor supernatural power, it is a realm that I will never be able to reach in my lifetime!"

Both of them are innate masters and know more than others. They are not like ordinary people in the martial arts world who only know how powerful the supernatural powers are on the surface, but they know the inner story.

The realm of supernatural powers is another realm above the innate realm. It requires the condensation of the true seeds of supernatural powers, which is naturally extremely difficult.

In addition to opening the corresponding acupoints and practicing the secret techniques of supernatural powers, breaking through the realm is still an extremely difficult task, unlike going from acquired to innate. Even if the breakthrough fails, seven out of ten will just have their merits reversed, only two unlucky ones will have their meridians damaged, and the last one will get lucky and become possessed, and die on the spot.

The step of condensing the supernatural power seed in the innate realm and achieving the supernatural power realm is ten or a hundred times more dangerous. If you are not careful, you will end up dead. Of course, compared with the three levels of essence, energy and spirit in the innate realm, which can be broken through step by step, when breaking through the supernatural power realm, you will put your life on the line and make a desperate bet to achieve a supernatural power seed. It is absolutely impossible to break through separately.

Therefore, to combine essence, energy and spirit into one, and to communicate with heaven and earth through the secret method of supernatural powers, and to condense the supernatural power is also extremely dangerous. If you fail, you will die!

But there are exceptions to everything. If one has a lot of accumulation and is lucky enough, then there is a slight chance of surviving after a failed breakthrough.

Of course, those who survive a great disaster will be blessed in the future. If one still survives after failing to break through like this, then one can condense a broken seal of magical power. Such a person can often exert some power of the seal of magical power, which is naturally far superior to the innate grandmaster. However, if compared with the great masters of magical power, there is a huge gap and they cannot be compared at all.

Therefore, such people are called minor supernatural powers or half-step supernatural powers.

But everything has its pros and cons. Once you have such a seal of supernatural power, it means that you will no longer have the chance to obtain real supernatural power, unless you can find a few rare treasures to wash away the seal of supernatural power while keeping your life.

Even if he could save his life, it would be a huge loss of his vitality, and it would be extremely difficult for him to break through again. Generally speaking, the combat power of a master with minor supernatural powers is above that of a grandmaster, but it is basically difficult for him to make any further progress in his cultivation, which is equivalent to being sentenced to death.

However, the two of them did not know that this Taoist Tianxin was just an incarnation of Li Ming's character card. His strength was originally unable to be improved. Moreover, Li Ming at that time did not know much about these things. He was even more foolish after practicing the "Return to Zhen Sutra". It was by chance that he was able to condense such a magical seed in his half-madness, but he was misunderstood by the two as a being in the realm of minor magical powers.

Of course, in a sense, this is not wrong. The true strength of Taoist Tianxin is by no means inferior to the so-called minor supernatural powers. The fact that he can seriously injure Taoist Feiyun with one palm shows his strength.

As the two were chatting, suddenly a huge vortex appeared in the sky over the distant mountains, followed by a strong sense of oppression in the hearts of all creatures. Those wild animals had no reason at all, and relied on their innate instincts to either roar to the sky, or evacuate in panic, and some even lowered their heads as if turning into ostriches.

Xie Mingcheng said with a serious expression, "It looks like he's about to come out."

Qian Tong nodded and said, "It's quite a big commotion, but I don't know what the outcome will be."

Just as the sky and the earth were changing color, an old voice suddenly came from the air.

"Great, great, what a great Five Absolute Divine Skill! This trip is really worthwhile for me!"

"Thank you for your kind words, senior!" a clear voice followed.

"Hahaha, then try to take another move from me!" the old voice continued.

Then, the wind and clouds from heaven and earth gathered within a radius of a hundred miles, and the sky was immediately covered with dark clouds, and thunder roared.

God’s power!

These two words surfaced in Xie Mingcheng's mind. He raised his head and looked into the distance, but he could not see any figure. He only felt the clouds surging and the thunder like waves, and the waves were endless! "Senior, come and try my method too!"

There was only the sound of a sword ringing through the sky.

Immediately, the sword light turned into a long rainbow. With just one slash, a crack was created in the surging waves of dark clouds in the sky. A point of sword light broke through the void. As the sword light moved across the sky, the power of heaven and earth was eclipsed.

Zheng!
In just a short moment, the sword light flashed eighteen times, each time with impeccable precision.

In the air, eighteen sword lights tore through the sea of ​​clouds eighteen times, but were entangled by heavy lightning the next moment.

“Human power is limited!”

For some reason, this sentence suddenly emerged in Xie Mingcheng's mind. Looking at the sword lights, Xie Mingcheng knew that although he was known as a Confucian swordsman and his sword skills were quite impressive, he would be sweating profusely if he was asked to take one sword, let alone the endless layers of sword lights like now. At most, he would have to use all his strength to take three swords, and if it exceeded three swords, he would have to fight hard to take two more.

If he reaches the sixth sword, he will not be able to take on this sword no matter what!

As for Qian Tong, he was even worse off. Just watching from afar, he was so agitated that he couldn't control himself. He felt that he might not be able to survive a single blow in their hands.

And in the sea of ​​thunder, Li Ming's sword light changed again and again!
The Dao Dao Sword suddenly thrust out a ray of sword intent. In a flash, that ray of sword intent obscured everything.

At this moment, suddenly rumbling thunder swept past, but it was very different from the thunder in the sky.

Xie Mingcheng was slightly startled and said: "Could it be..."

Qian Tong also nodded and said, "That should be it, the legendary sword energy and thunder sound! I didn't expect that Master Li's swordsmanship has reached such a level, it's really amazing!"

Having said that, the worries in the hearts of the two did not decrease in the slightest. Admittedly, Sword Qi and Thunder Sound was a rare advanced sword technique in the world, but the enemy that could allow Li Ming to use Sword Qi and Thunder Sound to deal with should not be underestimated.

At this moment, a long roar was heard, shaking the whole area and actually suppressing the sword energy and thunder sound raised by Li Ming.

"Lei Yin is nothing but this, watch me do this!"

I saw five thunders gathering in the sky, the clouds swirling, and a giant hand suddenly appeared.

“This is his magical power!!!”

Qian Tong exclaimed, looking at the giant hand with eyes full of surprise, and besides that, a little bit of fear.

Xie Mingcheng also clenched his fists and sighed, "But what kind of magical power is this? I have never heard of it or seen it before. Mr. Li, I am afraid..."

Seeing this, Qian Tong said with relief: "After all, it is only a minor magical power, not comparable to the great magical powers. Maybe, Master Li is blessed by fate."

It was as if the entire sky was collapsing, truly as if the heaven and earth were covered by a palm, slapping downwards.

Even though they were hundreds of miles away from the real battlefield, the two still felt an extremely strong sense of oppression and were unable to get any closer.

At this moment, the sword light had already risen, and the thunderous sound shattered the sky and split the clouds. The sword light slashed at the blue sky and actually cut a crack in the giant hand.

The sword light shot straight into the sky and shot into the space between the bulls. Even the so-called magical powers could not suppress it!

"Good, great swordsmanship!!!"

Xie Mingcheng couldn't help but exclaimed "Excellent" when he saw this sword technique, clapping his hands and saying, "After seeing this sword technique, the ranking of the world's top ten swordsmen can be rebuilt!"

In just this instant, a sword light flashed between heaven and earth, slashing out a sword with a myriad of changes and a shocking sword rainbow.

Then Li Ming's voice was heard in the air.

"Senior, your methods are superb, and I admire you."

"Hmph, you have some skills, young man. Even if I give you a few more years, I still can't defeat you. Never mind, never mind. If I kill you here, the world will be a little lonely. I'll take your magical power seed away, so take care of yourself!"

The old voice became more and more ethereal with each word, as if it was already far away.

Xie Mingcheng and Qian Tong also breathed a sigh of relief. They looked at each other and headed towards the center of the battlefield together.

However, not long after, they saw a somewhat embarrassed figure approaching the two of them at high speed. Xie Mingcheng was delighted to see this and quickly spoke.

"Brother Li, what's going on?"

Li Ming sighed and said, "My skills are inferior to others, what can I do?"

Although there was a hint of melancholy in his voice, he sounded full of energy and did not sound like he was hurt.

Of course, this is true. Li Ming is putting on a show for himself, so how could he get hurt?

Today's battle is nothing more than spending some points to let Taoist Tianxin take the blame for the loss of the supernatural power seed. As for my own gains, I have gained something, more or less. I can't say how much it is. Anyway, the most precious supernatural power seed is not with me. You want to find Taoist Tianxin, but it has nothing to do with me.

Now Li Ming has made up his mind that from now on all the shameful things and the blame will be handled by Taoist Tianxin. After all, this old man has no shame and can do anything.

Qian Tong and Xie Mingcheng didn't know this. In their eyes, Li Ming was able to survive the power of Tianxin Taoist, who was in the realm of minor supernatural powers. It can be seen that his strength is absolutely unfathomable. What's more, he didn't suffer any injuries, which added a bit of color to Li Ming's strength and identity, and inevitably made them value Li Ming even more.

PS: I am late, I’m sorry to all my book friends, I am really busy with other things, and it will probably be very late tomorrow, sorry.
