Raise a sword!

A sharp gust of wind suddenly appeared behind me.

Jiang Peng's divine sense had already detected the clues, and she subconsciously moved to the side to avoid it.

But Jiang Peng soon discovered that she seemed to have been locked onto.

She subconsciously turned around and saw Chen Chi, wielding a giant hammer, following closely behind her. Although the hammer had not yet fallen, the terrifying power it contained had already made Jiang Peng secretly alarmed.

"Body cultivation?"

"It's not that simple!"

Seeing that Jiang Peng was no longer dodging, Chen Chi was overjoyed and swung the giant hammer even faster.

Especially when he saw Jiang Peng trying to use an inconspicuous magic sword to fight him head-on, he became even more eager to see this person turn into dust under his hammer technique.

bang——

A muffled thud.

The giant hammer fell, creating a visible shockwave.

Jiang Peng was knocked down from mid-air and crashed heavily to the ground.

"Brother Chen, what a skillful move!" Li Rufeng exclaimed happily from the side.

However, Chen Chi did not feel much joy. He could clearly feel that the feeling of that last touch was wrong.

"This person is suspicious. What's his background?"

"I don't know." Li Rufeng shook his head slightly.

The Li family was only a Foundation Establishment family with some reputation in the Chen Kingdom, and in the Southern Mountain Region, they were not a force to be reckoned with.

Their sources of information were quite limited, and since they were not core members of the Chen family, the Chen family would not reveal much information to them.

Jiang Peng actually had a certain reputation in the Nanshan region, but the Chen family knew about this matter and would not tell the Li family, because there was no need.

"That's Jiang Peng!"

Li Ruyuan's voice rang out from the side, his tone filled with gritted teeth and hatred.

At this moment, Li Ruyuan no longer possessed the composure of a middle-aged Confucian scholar.

The skin and large patches of flesh on his neck had vanished, and the gruesome wounds had even spread to his face.

"The genius that Cangshan Sect recruited in Cangshan Market more than ten years ago was just a small alchemist in the market back then."

Li Ruyuan looked at his younger brother.

"Back then, the younger generation of the clan even sent someone to assassinate this person. Later, the deacon of the Cangshan Sect came to question them, which led to the clan's early departure."

Compared to Li Rufeng, Li Ruyuan, as the head of the family, naturally remembered many trivial matters from back then in Cangshan Market.

The figure that had nearly killed him on the spot had overlapped with the figure of that inconspicuous rogue alchemist in Cangshan Market more than ten years ago, in his memory.

At the same time, Chen Chi, who was in mid-air, finally confirmed his thoughts.

The powerful blow just now did not cause any real damage to Jiang Peng.

Amidst the seemingly massive cloud of dust and smoke below, Jiang Peng's figure slowly emerged.

He stood calmly in a deep pit, his robes looking somewhat tattered, making him appear rather disheveled.

His breathing was steady, his hands hung at his sides, and the magic sword that had previously seemed insignificant, like a mantis trying to stop a chariot, was now floating behind him, faintly emanating a sharp aura.

At the same time, Sun Yinxi appeared beside Jiang Peng.

"How are you? Are you injured?"

"It's alright." Jiang Peng's expression was relaxed. "I would appreciate it if Senior Sister could deal with the two Foundation Establishment cultivators from the Li family. This Foundation Establishment cultivator from the Chen family is likely a naturally gifted individual with superhuman strength. It will be quite a challenge to deal with him."

"Ha, what a boastful tone!" Chen Chi's face darkened in mid-air, and he swung the giant hammer down again.

As he made his move, he also shouted to the two Foundation Establishment cultivators from the Li family, "You two, don't interfere! I want to see what this person is really capable of!"

Actually, there was no need for Chen Chi to make a special announcement.

Because Sun Yinxi had already used the Gale Step, she appeared in front of Li Rufeng in an instant.

Suddenly, the silver bracelet on her wrist emitted a faint light, and after a few breaths, a dreamlike light curtain enveloped the two members of the Li family.

"Just some underhanded tricks," Li Rufeng sneered. "As expected of Ni Chang's disciple, all she knows are treacherous and cunning schemes."

Within the light screen, Sun Yinxi's voice rang out from all directions.

"Fellow Daoist, there's no need to be so quick-witted. It only makes people laugh... If my master were here, she could wipe out such a bunch of chickens and dogs with a wave of her hand."

"Of course, if my master were truly here, the Li family, these stray dogs, would dare not resist in the slightest, except for wagging their tails and begging for mercy... She wouldn't even need to lift a finger; you two-faced scoundrels would have already knelt down and begged for mercy long ago."

Li Rufeng narrowed his eyes and sneered, "Sharp-tongued, wait till I break your magic weapon!"

Sun Yinxi stopped responding and simply kept the two Li family members at the Foundation Establishment stage.

the other side.

Jiang Peng had already flown back into the air.

He reached out with one hand to grab the empty space beside him, as if he had truly grasped the spiritual energy of heaven and earth. With a wave of his arm, he not only drew in the spiritual energy but also pulled out gusts of wind.

In the midst of the gale, spiritual energy was ignited, and the surrounding temperature suddenly rose.

The flames are red.

The crimson flames, aided by the gale, swept out in an instant.

Upon witnessing this scene, Chen Chi felt a great sense of crisis and dared not lightly touch the crimson spiritual fire.

But while he hesitated, Jiang Peng was not patient enough to wait.

A sword light pierced through the inferno surrounding Jiang Peng, and at the same time, the sword also stirred up the crimson spiritual fire, making its sharpness even greater.

Chen Chi's expression changed slightly. He used his movement technique to dodge and weave in mid-air, but he was still injured by the magic sword, and wounds appeared all over his body.

Relying on his physical strength, he didn't care about the minor external injuries on his body.

But Chen Chi soon discovered that his wound could not heal, and after a brief examination, he couldn't help but frown.

"The sword intent lingers, and you possess such sword control techniques, so you are actually a sword cultivator?"

Jiang Peng did not answer, focusing all her attention on controlling her sword.

This time, Chen Chi was on guard.

He swung his giant hammer, as if he had anticipated the direction of Jiang Peng's sword, and presciently knocked the Xuanyuan Sword away.

Taking advantage of this opening, he suddenly threw the giant hammer into the air.

The giant hammer expanded continuously in mid-air, growing several times larger in the blink of an eye. The handle looked to be over ten feet long, and the hammer shaft at the end was even more terrifying.

"Can you really swing such a big hammer, fellow Daoist?" Jiang Peng asked casually.

Chen Chi sneered but did not respond. He simply clasped his hands together and closed his eyes.

The next moment, his clothes suddenly ripped apart, and his entire body grew larger at an extremely rapid speed.

At the same time, Jiang Peng vaguely heard chanting sounds all around her.

He was stunned.

"Vajra Dharma Form? You're actually a Buddhist practitioner?"

"It is the dual cultivation of Buddhism and Taoism." After Chen Chi transformed into a giant, his words echoed.
