The strongest warrior of the Great Qian Dynasty

Pfft!

The young man cleaved the rubble to pieces with a single stroke of his knife.

But in the instant the wind blew, a broken sword suddenly appeared before him.

"How dare you!!"

Seeing that Li Qingshan not only did not flee but instead attacked him, the young man was instantly enraged.

He swung his sword to block, while a surge of true energy erupted from his right hand, aiming directly at Qingshan's waist and abdomen, determined to strike.

However, Li Qingshan's attack was merely a feint; his true purpose was to test the young man's strength.

After missing his first attack, Li Qingshan retreated and began attacking the armored soldiers with rubble.

Not long after.

The group realized they could no longer engage Li Qingshan in combat, so they retreated several dozen feet, awaiting the remaining attacks.

"Li Qingshan, you are a traitor! You dare to hoard national treasures! Today, I, Qi Xu, will surely capture you!"

"You can still surrender now, otherwise everyone connected to you will be killed, and you will be torn apart by chariots."

Qi Xu shouted, and the cold blade in his hand rang out with a clang.

The mountain winds were like knives, constantly cutting through everything around them.

Although Li Qingshan was on the cliff face, he moved as if on flat ground, his expression unchanged.

He held the Nine Yang Sword horizontally in front of his chest. Although there were no rust marks on it, it was also quite ordinary and unremarkable.

Qi Xu stood about four zhang away from Li Qingshan, his eyes blazing, holding a thin-bladed knife in his hand.

Its shape resembles a pine tree, motionless yet constantly changing like the mountain wind.

Suddenly, the thin blade in his hand spun continuously in the air, and in an instant it seemed as if plum blossoms were falling, and he could cut out dozens of peach blossoms with a single stroke.

"In that case, I'd like to learn your tricks."

Li Qingshan said calmly.

He didn't have any outstanding martial arts skills. After all, he had cultivated for so long that his speed was too fast and he didn't have much foundation.

In addition, as Elder Zhou had previously mentioned, his most important task now was to break through his cultivation level, not to hone his martial arts skills. Therefore, Li Qingshan hadn't paid much attention to it. However, facing a formidable enemy today, he felt some regret. He realized he should have prepared some martial arts techniques for protection.

But he quickly made up his mind that after today, he would definitely collect some martial arts techniques so that he could at least handle the situation with ease instead of being at a disadvantage.

However, Li Qingshan did not lose his will to fight. After all, his journey had been fraught with hardship, relying entirely on his own inner energy, which he used to smash through the air and annihilate all his enemies. Even if a Grandmaster were to appear today, he would fight him.

hum!

The next moment, the Nine Yang Sword in Li Qingshan's hand looked like an iron ingot pulled out of lava, radiating a dazzling crimson light.

Every bit of Li Qingshan's true energy poured into the Nine Yang Sword made it heavier and its radiance as intense as the sun.

Seeing this, Qi Xu didn't dare to delay. The next moment, he moved, and a thin blade, like a plum blossom in the snow, exploded in the space.

Then the thin-bladed knife quickly came toward Li Qingshan, not by rushing forward, but by twisting and turning, as if there were changes in every move.

Faced with this unexpected turn of events, Li Qingshan did not panic. Instead, he used his Nine Yang Sword to block the attack, using the part of the sword that had lost its tip to forcefully withstand the thin blade.

when!

As a terrifying, crisp sound rang out, Li Qingshan's expression changed.

Because he felt a tremendous force, even one that was no less powerful than his own.

It turned out that this so-called Qi Xu had also practiced a technique to temper the body.

Qi Xu, on the other hand, also had an unpredictable expression, his eyes fixed on Li Qingshan, a hint of disbelief flashing in them.

He said coldly:

"This is impossible! How can your body be so terrifying? You're just a peasant who's had some extraordinary encounter! You can't be spared today, die!"

Qi Xu arrived on the wind, his thin-bladed knife pointed directly at Li Qingshan's throat.

Li Qingshan swung his sword to defend himself, then his body drifted to the left, and the next moment, dozens of crossbow bolts struck the spot where he stood.

These crossbow bolts sank deep into the rocky ground, leaving only a few trembling tails, demonstrating their terrifying power.

The two began to fight the next moment.

Li Qingshan's true energy was continuous and vast, like a boundless ocean.

Qi Xu, on the other hand, brought his memory to its fullest potential, aiming every move at Li Qingshan's vital points, only to have them blocked immediately.

The fierce battle between the two was spectacular and breathtaking.

This caused the surrounding soldiers to have a major headache, because just as they were about to aim at Li Qingshan, Qi Xu would appear in the same spot the next moment.

Even if the two of them did their best to exchange blows and knock him away, they would be entangled in a fight again the next moment, with no chance at all.

next moment.

Li Qingshan, who was still locked in combat, suddenly smiled; he understood.

Although Qi Xu in front of him was powerful and at the same level as him, there was one thing he was weak in.

Spiritual strength!

Qi Xu had not cultivated, or rather, he had no idea of ​​the terrifying power of the spirit.

"Recite the Yellow Court Classic with your mouth, and you will see the world in your heart."

The next moment, a mysterious voice rang out from Li Qingshan's mouth. Suddenly, an illusory cauldron appeared before him, seemingly out of nowhere.

The surging power of his blood and qi was directly injected into the cauldron, making it turn bright red. Yin and Yang energies circulated continuously within it, releasing terrifying aftershocks.

"Impossible, this is impossible! How could you possibly comprehend the power of momentum?!"

Upon seeing the illusory cauldron appear on Li Qingshan's body, Qi Xu was first stunned, then he went berserk, and even the techniques he had just used quickly disappeared, replaced by a rapid and fierce attack.

His goal was to break the illusory image of the elixir cauldron on Li Qingshan's body.

This is the nascent form of momentum, signifying that Li Qingshan has embarked on this path, and further indicating that if he persists, he will inevitably become a grandmaster.

Most importantly, Li Qingshan is too young. According to the intelligence he has gathered, Li Qingshan's cultivation time is less than a year.

That's why he needed Li Qingshan dead. Only with Li Qingshan dead could everything be settled. Those behind him also wanted to see Li Qingshan die.

"Die! The Three Demon-Slaying Techniques!!"

"First move: Suppress the Earth Demons!"

With a roar, Qi Xu rushed to Li Qingshan's side, his true energy bursting forth like magma, completely disregarding the damage to his meridians.

The thin blade in his hand had somehow become thicker and heavier, and one could vaguely see rolling true energy flowing within it.

However, at this moment, with the help of the elixir, Li Qingshan's mind suddenly flashed with various thoughts, becoming increasingly clear.

"So that's how it is! This is the Way, this is the Law, this is the Power!"
