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

No, what does he mean?

Hearing him say that, he hasn't really gotten serious yet? Sword Wind Daoist was somewhat surprised and uncertain after hearing He Li's words. He didn't quite believe that He Li could withstand his sea of ​​swords.

However, He Li appeared relaxed and calm...

It seems like they really do have the capacity.

This made Sword Wind Daoist somewhat uncertain again. After all, upon careful consideration, he was still unsure of He Li's limits. What if... the other party hadn't really gone all out with him yet?

What if the opponent can really withstand the sea of ​​swords? The more Sword Wind Taoist thought about it, the less confident he became in himself.

However, it's too late now...

He had no room to back down.

"It's a good thing that the younger generation has ability and confidence."

"But being overconfident is foolish."

"Even a Nascent Soul cultivator would not dare to be as careless as you when facing my sea of ​​sword energy."

"You really think you can rival a Nascent Soul cultivator?"

Steadying his mind, Sword Wind Taoist sneered.

The spirit of Qingyang Mountain also advised He Li from behind: "Every sword qi in this sea of ​​sword qi is something that those sword cultivators who are good at killing have spent more than a hundred years cultivating."

"Don't be careless, otherwise..."

Before he could finish speaking, He Li had already raised his hand and slammed it down towards the surging sea of ​​sword energy...

hum! ! !

Instantly, dense spiritual energy condensed into a visible golden giant hand in the void. The giant hand slammed mercilessly onto the sea of ​​sword energy with He Li's movements, producing a deafening roar...

Boom! Crack!

With a deafening roar, a terrifying shockwave rapidly spread outwards from the point of contact between the two parties.

Those affected were so badly hurt that they could barely stand.

If none of the people present were weak and had the ability to use their skills to resist or whisper to reduce the impact, they would have been blasted far away by the aftershocks.

Just as everyone regained their footing and looked up again to see the giant hand and the sea of ​​swords in the distance...

They were shocked to discover that the Sword Wind Daoist's original thousand-plus terrifying sword energies, which seemed capable of cleaving through everything...

At this moment, they are all shattering!

The sword energy clashed with the giant hand, shattering into pieces from the tip of the sword as if it were glass hitting a stone wall, while the giant hand did not falter even for a moment in the face of countless sword energies.

In the blink of an eye...

That terrifying sea of ​​sword energy, brimming with destructive power...

It was wiped out by the giant hand of spiritual energy.

"Wow... is this his strength? I felt like every single sword aura in that sea of ​​sword energy could instantly kill us, but he just raised his hand and shattered them all?"

"This strength..."

Looking at He Li, Ye Wentian couldn't help but swallow.

He suddenly realized that his group, who had initially intended to intimidate He Li, hadn't been killed by him yet...

That's incredibly kind and benevolent.

After all, He Li possesses terrifying strength...

As long as they used just a little bit of power to suppress them, they could be shattered into dust. So when Ye Wentian and the others thought about it, they felt a little scared.

"Fortunately, thankfully we are not enemies."

"Otherwise, they would have been reduced to ashes by now!"

They couldn't help but sigh inwardly.

The spirit of Qingyang Mountain, who had originally intended to advise He Li to be careful, was now stunned and remained silent.

He discovered that although he had already overestimated He Li's abilities, estimating his strength to be on par with a Nascent Soul cultivator, the results still seemed to fall short of He Li's strength.

"This guy, his true strength..."

"Could it be that it can be on par with cultivators at the Nascent Soul stage???"

"This... is outrageous!"

The spirits of Qingyang Mountain could not remain calm.

After all, even the Blazing Sun Sect, as far as he knew, did not have any cultivators at the Nascent Soul stage.

The highest-ranking Qi Refiner he knew was the sect leader of their Blazing Sun Sect, a Qi Refiner with true Nascent Soul stage cultivation.

But the spirit of Qingyang Mountain thought about it...

Judging from that sect leader's past behavior, and comparing it with He Li's current actions...

It seems... it really is He Liqiang.

So, it's confirmed.

This guy really has the strength of a Nascent Soul cultivator.

"At least in terms of power, this guy from the lower realm... definitely has the strength of an equivalent incarnation."

"As for other aspects, it's hard to say."

"I really know too little about him..."

Qingyang Mountain Spirit pondered to himself. Staring at He Li's back, he suddenly felt that being noticed by this guy might not be a bad thing, after all, the lower realm and the middle realm were currently merging.

From now on, the lower realm will be no worse than the middle realm.

Following someone like He Li, his future gains might not be weaker than following the Blazing Sun Sect.

Thinking about this made him feel much better.

In contrast, Sword Wind Taoist was in a terrible mood.

Although he had a premonition that something was wrong...

But when he actually saw that He Li had easily shattered his long-hidden trump card, he was still cold all over, feeling helpless and desperate with no way out.

"How could such a being exist in the lower realm? Is this the kind of person who should exist in the lower realm?"

He stared intently at the composed He Li...

Sword Wind Taoist stood there, frozen, not knowing what to do.

In particular, she noticed that He Li seemed to be getting closer to her.

Realizing that the other party was about to attack him, the red light in the half-festering skull eye socket of Sword Wind Daoist flickered wildly as if he was quickly thinking about how to save his life.

However, He Li arrived too quickly.

Before he could even think it through, He Li appeared in front of him, startling him so much that he hurriedly backed away...

"Young...junior...don't do anything reckless!!!"

"This place... is the Blazing Sun Sect!"

When he retreated to the point where he could go no further, he seemed to have thought of a way to be rescued and hurriedly said, "There are countless Qi Refiners with profound cultivation in the Blazing Sun Sect."

"My life tablet is within the sect. If you kill my sect, the sect will immediately receive the news."

"At that time, numerous experts will be dispatched to pursue and kill us..."

"You...and your companions..."

"You will all die!"

Hearing this, He Li curled his lip.

"Oh? Is that so? So, you mean if I don't kill you, your Blazing Sun Sect will let us go? Heh, when you were gathering sword energy to kill those other sword cultivators..."

"I imagine some people, in desperation, might resort to using their backgrounds and identities to threaten you into stopping, right?"

"Did you stop then?"

He asked, his words full of sarcasm.

Upon hearing this, Jianfeng Daoren's expression turned ugly on one side of his face.

Indeed, this threat is meaningless.

He had also killed Qi cultivators with powerful backgrounds. When those people threatened him by bringing up their connections and backers, his thought was not to let them go, but to kill them even more thoroughly.

After all, they've already offended them.

Since no one will let you go anyway, you might as well kill them and clean things up.

As long as it's clean enough...

Similarly, no one could discover that they were the murderer.

Thinking about these things...

Sword Wind Daoist's expression grew increasingly grim, but seeing He Li closing in again, he had no intention of surrendering. He gripped his longsword tightly, staring intently at He Li, and couldn't help but speak again...

"The Blazing Sun Sect has changed."

"There is a being from the previous generation overseeing this place."

"I will tell you the truth."

"We cultivators are all their puppets. Your killing of me will surely alert them, and they will come. Do you really think you can stand against them?"

At this point, Sword Wind Daoist advised, "Youngsters, I admit I don't want to let you go."

"But this time we can each take a step back."

"You don't want to be targeted by beings from the higher realms, do you?"

"In that case, you may leave..."

"Leave this place, and I'll pretend you were never here. As long as you don't come looking for death again, I naturally won't, and have no way to, retaliate against you, right?"

"How is it?" he pressed.

His eyes were full of anticipation.

He Li almost burst out laughing when he heard this.

"Old man, have you forgotten something?"

"Huh?" Upon hearing He Li's words, Sword Wind Daoist was stunned, clearly not remembering what he had forgotten.

Until He Li coldly reminded him...

"I remember you telling the spirit of Qingyang Mountain that your Lie Ri Sect received benefits from beings from the upper realm, which is why Qi cultivators like you have become stronger."

"And you even showed off..."

"They claim that the spirits of Qingyang Mountain have no chance to become stronger."

"I don't have the chance to receive blessings from the heavens like you do."

"Because...they have already left."

"Tsk~ You yourself said that those beings connected to the Upper Realm have left your Blazing Sun Sect and are about to die, yet you say they'll be coming to hunt us down soon?"

He Li's smile widened: "Are you kidding me? You actually think that being from the upper realm can fool me?"

Huh?

Sword Wind Taoist was dumbfounded.

Thinking about it carefully, he seems to be...

I actually said that!

It's over. It seems I've destroyed my only way out from the very beginning.

Now, Sword Wind Taoist was utterly desperate.

Upon hearing this, the spirit of Qingyang Mountain couldn't help but burst out laughing.

"Idiot, trying to show off to me?"

What does it mean to say "too much talk leads to mistakes"?

"Now you understand?"
