Eating bizarre things in public upgrades my status; the Special Affairs Bureau wants me to join them

"I haven't decided when to make my move yet."

"And you, of all people, actually went and provoked me?"

"Now that things are going badly, you suddenly think of running away?"

"Ha, don't you think it's too late?"

He Li glanced coldly at Jianfeng Daoren. As Jianfeng Daoren retreated in panic, an invisible spiritual force enveloped the surrounding area. Caught off guard, Jianfeng Daoren crashed directly into the invisible barrier.

At this moment, Sword Wind Taoist was like a caged beast. He had nowhere to escape and had no choice but to face He Li head-on.

However, He Li was not in a hurry to make a move against him.

Seeing that Sword Wind Taoist could not escape...

His gaze fell upon the sea of ​​ghostly fire ahead.

"Ha!" He simply opened his mouth and sighed, and immediately, the sound of whistling wind rose around He Li.

As the wind grew stronger, a unique, cold wind, even more eerie than the ghostly fire of Sword Wind Daoist, formed a visible pale blue hurricane that swept towards the ghostly fire filling the sky.

As wind and fire clashed...

boom!!!

In an instant, the eerie sea of ​​ghostly fire was forcibly pulled, absorbed, and devoured by the hurricane vortex.

The extreme cold hurricane transformed into a ghostly flame hurricane.

The surrounding temperature dropped sharply.

If the chill brought by Sword Wind Daoist's ghostly fire was bearable, like the dead of winter, then the cooling effect brought to this world by the fusion of the ghostly fire and the hurricane...

It was truly a life-or-death, extreme cold.

Even people like Chu Aotian, whose cultivation levels are not low enough to withstand the cold winter with their physical constitution...

They simply couldn't stand it.

They were all shivering from the cold.

Even someone like Wu Qiu couldn't withstand it.

They couldn't help but look at He Li...

They wanted to signal He Li to stop, because if the hurricane was allowed to stay here any longer, they would all freeze to death in the terrifyingly low temperature.

However, when they looked at He Li, they were shocked to find that He Li was staring blankly at the Ghostfire Hurricane.

And on He Li's body...

Faintly... it seems there are still a few pale blue flames, like ghostly fire, flickering.

This left them completely dumbfounded.

An outrageous guess popped into their minds...

Could it be that you have gained some understanding of this principle?

From the Netherfire of Sword Wind Daoist… or rather, from the changes caused by the hurricane devouring the Netherfire, did he glean something new that caused his martial arts essence to change once again?

What the hell... what kind of comprehension is this?

Is this even human?

How could there be such a thing?

Everyone was truly dumbfounded.

Especially young people like Chu Aotian, they were stunned and dumbfounded, as if they had been hit hard...

"He...he's always been like this?"

After standing there dumbfounded for a while, Chu Aotian couldn't help but ask.

He himself didn't know who he was asking.

But he just wanted to ask, he just wanted to figure out whether He Li was just lucky and suddenly had an epiphany and thus mastered something new, or whether He Li's comprehension had always been like this...

He always manages to learn something new.

Chu Aotian was anxious, and not only him, but the other young people were also eager to know.

Meanwhile, Mu Lan, who had returned to the crowd at some point, answered Chu Aotian's question...

"Yes, that's always been his way."

"He can gain some understanding if he wants to."

"He did this every time he broke through in Shu Prefecture."

"The so-called innate martial arts saintly body..."

That's roughly it!

Mu Lan squinted as she recalled the events that had occurred when He Li broke through his limits.

For her, or for those of them who were used to He Li inexplicably gaining new insights, it was perfectly normal for He Li to suddenly gain new insights again at this moment.

However, Mu Lan's answer...

But it completely shattered Chu Aotian and his companions' hopes.

This also left them somewhat disheartened.

After all, compared to He Li, the gap between them is too great, which is a huge blow to these so-called "geniuses".

Of course, aside from Mu Lan and the others being surprised by He Li's comprehension, Jian Feng Dao Ren was actually looking at the somewhat familiar flames emanating from He Li's body...

His eyes widened as well.

"This...how...is this possible?!"

"Taiyin Fire... Taiyin Fire..."

"My understanding of the Yin Fire came after spending over a hundred years comprehending the Yang Fire, receiving guidance, and then undergoing extensive arduous cultivation and contemplation before finally mastering the Yin Fire, which reverses Yin and Yang..."

"How...how could he...how could he comprehend the Yin Fire in such a short time?"

Sword Wind Taoist's single eye was filled with shock, jealousy, anger, and a slight bitterness.

He Li's combat strength is already formidable.

His comprehension is ridiculously high...

This makes him, a Qi cultivator who has spent hundreds of years in arduous practice hoping to become an immortal and live forever, seem like a joke.

He doesn't understand, he really can't understand!

Why should he, a mere mortal from the lower realm...?

Could they be even more dazzling than the Qi Refiners of the Middle Realm?

They're cultivating to become immortals!

And what about He Li? A mere martial arts practitioner... Seeing He Li finish comprehending and absorb the burning Taiyin Fire into his body, and then seeing him dispel the hurricane that devoured the Taiyin Nether Fire...

Sword Wind Daoist's Dao heart is unstable.

He Li was unaware of the impact his slight insights would have on those around him.

He only used the Taiyin Netherfire of Sword Wind Daoist to comprehend something new, which caused a new change in his martial arts essence, before smilingly looking at Sword Wind Daoist, who was frozen in mid-air.

"The Taoist priest has indeed given me a good opportunity."

"For the sake of this opportunity..."

"I can leave you a complete corpse."

"Of course, before that, I need you to tell me about your Blazing Sun Sect."

"And then there's the matter of the Wind-Calming Immortal."

He smiled and said that upon hearing this, the emotionally unstable Sword Wind Daoist snapped out of his reverie and stared intently at the chuckling He Li with his slightly reddened single eye.

He Li's seemingly casual yet arrogant words, which implied he was certain He Li would sentence him to death...

This made him even more furious, as he was already jealous.

"Young man, you are indeed different from them."

"But do you think you've got me cornered?"

All that could be heard was a cold laugh from Sword Wind Taoist.

"I have been cultivating for hundreds of years, and during this time, I have inevitably encountered all sorts of difficulties. Being trapped like today is not an unprecedented situation."

"Do you think I don't have a backup plan?"

"Wouldn't they have the ability to break free?"

"Then you're being a bit... "

"You greatly underestimate me!!!"

In the end, Sword Wind Daoist spoke in a low voice, and suddenly brought his right index finger together to form a hand seal, pointing to the white jade gourd that he hadn't brought with him earlier because of his overconfidence.

"The Sword-Nourishing Gourd?!" Behind He Li, the spirit of Qingyang Mountain instinctively spoke upon seeing the Sword Wind Daoist's actions.

He then looked at the others and explained, "This thing is a magical artifact used by sword cultivators to nurture their sword energy."

"Some cultivators can nurture their sword energy for hundreds of years."

"That sword energy was terrifyingly powerful."

"It's even possible to defeat enemies of a higher level."

Qingyang Mountain Spirit spoke solemnly.

Sword Wind Taoist revealed a sinister smile.

"A sword-nurturing gourd? Hehehe~"

"Qingyang, do you think you know everything?"

"You think this is a sword-nurturing gourd? You think that gourd contains only the sword energy that I've nurtured for over a hundred years? Ha, let me tell you... you're wrong!!!"

Huh? Qingyang Mountain Spirit was stunned upon hearing this.

next second...

hum! ! !

As Jianfeng Daoren spoke, the gourd suddenly floated up and automatically opened its stopper.

At the same time, countless sword energies surged forth like flowing water...

The spirit of Qingyang Mountain was somewhat shocked upon seeing this.

"Sword...a sea of ​​swords???"

"What you're doing... Sword Wind! You actually... you actually collected hundreds of sword energies in this gourd? Damn it, just how many sword cultivators who wielded the Sword Gourd have you secretly killed?"

Judging from his words, it was clear that not all the sword energy in the Sword Wind Taoist's gourd was nurtured by him.

Most of those were stolen by him through murder.

As expected, Sword Wind Daoist admitted it...

"How many did I kill? I can't even remember."

"Perhaps there are hundreds... or perhaps over a thousand? Hehehe~ Those sword cultivators can still be used by me after they die. If they know this in the afterlife, they should feel honored."

As he spoke, he stared coldly at He Li...

"Young man, the weakest sword in my sea of ​​swords has the force of a million catties, which is beyond the reach of ordinary people."

"The strongest among them weighs more than ten million pounds!"

"Can you possibly withstand this sea of ​​a thousand sword energies?"

"You might obstruct me?"

Arrogantly and gleefully, he then sneered, "Of course you can't withstand it. Today, I will use these thousand sword energies to shatter your invisible cage and kill you here..."

"To die beneath this sea of ​​swords of mine..."

"You deserve to die!"

shhhhhh! ! !

As he spoke, countless terrifying sword energies, each burning with Yin Netherfire, converged into a fierce wave that relentlessly surged towards He Li.

They seemed to want to shred He Li's spiritual thoughts and also to completely cut his body into pieces.

However, He Li simply shook his head calmly...

"What gives you a feeling..."

"Is the power I possess only this weak illusion—enough to trap you?"

Ok? ? ?
