A tough battle with Ma Rulong, the worshiper of Sunset City

The earlier clanging sounds were Xiao Ming using his powerful true essence as a foundation, and with his tiangang sword, he forcefully shattered all those sword lights!

After revealing himself, Xiao Ming looked up.

He saw two figures standing in the sky: one was a middle-aged man in white, and the other was a beautiful woman held in the middle-aged man's hand.

The woman was not very old, appearing to be about the same age as Xiao Ming.

Without a word, Xiao Ming activated his viewing function, and immediately, the information of these two individuals appeared one by one.

Name: Li Jianshi

Cultivation Level: Great Perfection of the Divine Sea Realm

Destiny: Boundless Luck (Purple), No Danger (Blue)

Main Cultivation Technique: Minor Accomplishment of Lingxiao Sword Art (Heaven-tier)

Weapon: Purple Moon Sword (Earth-tier)

Life Script: The only daughter of Li Yunxiao, the City Lord of Lingxiao City, she was pampered since childhood. With countless cultivation resources, her cultivation speed far surpassed ordinary people.

Recent Opportunity: Attacked by a powerful expert from Sunset City, she fell into a dangerous situation, but under the protection of a fated person (Xiao Ming), she eventually escaped the danger without harm... Now, looking at the middle-aged man in white.

Name: Ma Rulong

Cultivation Level: Early Stage of the Yuqi Realm

Destiny: Astonishing Luck (Blue), Calamity of Blood (Black)

Main Cultivation Technique: Great Accomplishment of Fu Hai Sword Art (Heaven-tier)

Weapon: Fu Hai Sword

Life Script: Ma Rulong, who was extraordinary since childhood, had his own unique insights into cultivation. After joining Sunset City as a consecrator, his strength improved further.

Recent Opportunity: Encountered a powerful junior (Xiao Ming) in Purple Bamboo Forest, was blocked and killed across Cultivation Level, dying with resentment... So, this middle-aged man in white was named Ma Rulong, a consecrator of Sunset City.

Moreover, looking at his luck level, it was merely blue, so he was probably just an ordinary Early Stage of the Yuqi Realm expert... Xiao Ming quickly made a judgment, then shifted his attention to Li Jianshi.

Currently, Li Jianshi was firmly held in Ma Rulong's hand, looking as if her life was in peril.

But no matter what, Xiao Ming had finally arrived.

In fact, Xiao Ming had been waiting in the bamboo forest ten li away. As soon as he sensed energy fluctuations here, he rushed over at the fastest speed.

He hurried and rushed, finally arriving just in time.

It wasn't too late!

In the sky.

Ma Rulong looked at Xiao Ming, who had suddenly appeared, with confusion. After a slight sensing, and discovering that Xiao Ming was only a mere Late Stage of the Divine Sea Realm, a look of disdain immediately appeared on his face.

A Late Stage of the Divine Sea Realm martial artist was simply no match for an Early Stage of the Yuqi Realm expert like him!

However.

Thinking of how his attack was completely shattered by Xiao Ming just now, Ma Rulong's expression became slightly more serious.

His intuition told him that Xiao Ming was probably not an ordinary Late Stage of the Divine Sea Realm expert.

"Kid, if you don't want to die, then scram!" Ma Rulong stood in the air and said loudly, "I'm in a good mood today and don't want to kill too much. I'll give you five breaths of time; get out of my sight!"

"Get out of your mother's ass, get out!" Xiao Ming sneered and said, "You, a grown man, actually bully a weak woman. Such wicked behavior, I, a righteous hero bursting with justice, cannot stand to watch!"

"If you know what's good for you, hand over this little beauty, and I can spare your dog life!"

With that.

Xiao Ming pointed his long sword at the sky, looking utterly defiant.

The main reason he was acting this way was to gain Li Jianshi's favor, as whether he could enter the Fire Domain Grotto-heaven depended on Li Jianshi's attitude.

And as soon as these words were uttered.

Ma Rulong was first stunned, then laughed in extreme anger.

Li Jianshi was also stunned.

What was this?

A hero saving a beauty?

Li Jianshi was immediately moved to tears. The hero-saving-beauty plot, which only appeared in novels, was actually happening to her!

It was truly touching!

However.

Xiao Ming's Cultivation Level was too low.

He was only in the Late Stage of the Divine Sea Realm, not even comparable to her own Great Perfection. For someone at this Cultivation Level to challenge an Early Stage of the Yuqi Realm expert from Sunset City was tantamount to hitting a rock with an egg.

And it was the kind where you hit the rock hard with your own egg.

"Little brother, I, Li Jianshi, thank you for your intention to save me, but you are not his match, hurry and leave!" Li Jianshi said anxiously.

"Want to leave? Once you've provoked me, Ma Rulong, don't even think about leaving. Go to hell!"

Ma Rulong roared, raising his free hand and pressing it heavily towards Xiao Ming!

With a "buzz"!

The next moment, the elemental energy of heaven and earth surged wildly, instantly forming a giant hand the size of a house, which then slammed down furiously towards Xiao Ming on the ground.

Seeing this, Xiao Ming smiled slightly, his figure flickered, and he instantly disappeared from his original spot.

"Boom!!"

The giant true essence palm slammed heavily onto the ground, blasting a deep palm print into the hard earth. For a moment, the ground trembled, and dust filled the air.

However, after the dust settled, there was only a large handprint on the ground, but no trace of Xiao Ming.

"Was little brother smashed to pieces...?" Seeing the scene on the ground, Li Jianshi's face was filled with sadness.

She had just met a little brother she had a good impression of, and now he was gone just like that.

Ma Rulong, however, frowned.

Because he felt that things were not that simple.

Indeed!

A faint voice suddenly rang out behind Ma Rulong, "You big idiot named Ma, I'm behind you!"

Ma Rulong suddenly turned his head, and then saw Xiao Ming's tiangang sword flashing with a dark golden sword light, slashing furiously towards his body!

Subconsciously, Ma Rulong clenched his single hand into a fist and struck heavily at the incoming tiangang sword.

"Boom!!"

Sword and fist collided, and a powerful force poured out. Xiao Ming, in mid-air, was shaken back two steps, but Ma Rulong was struck down by his sword, heavily crashing to the ground!

In a pure contest of strength, Xiao Ming had the clear upper hand!

Although his Cultivation Level was not high enough, with the many blessings of the Five Elements Saint Body, the Royal Sky Shocking Art, and the Heaven-tier sword tiangang sword, Ma Rulong's strength was far inferior to his!

After repelling Ma Rulong with a single sword, Xiao Ming looked at Li Jianshi beside him. He saw that the true essence palm that had restrained Li Jianshi had dissipated, and Li Jianshi had regained her freedom.

"Little brother, you..." Li Jianshi was both surprised and delighted.

She had thought that Xiao Ming had been shattered by Ma Rulong's palm, but she hadn't expected Xiao Ming to be so powerful, appearing silently behind her.

He even temporarily repelled Ma Rulong, an expert of the Yuqi Realm!

Was this little brother still in the Late Stage of the Divine Sea Realm?

How could his strength be so great!

This almost exceeded Li Jianshi's understanding!

Looking at Xiao Ming's spirited, handsome appearance with his long hair flowing, Li Jianshi's maiden heart thumped, and the feeling in her heart inexplicably became wonderfully pleasant.

On the ground.

Ma Rulong was not injured. He looked at Xiao Ming in mid-air with a grim expression, a strong killing intent flashing in his eyes.

He had actually suffered a minor loss!

He had been repelled head-on by a mere Late Stage of the Divine Sea Realm martial artist!

"You damn brat, today, you will die!"
