Surprise! The powerful master of the Transformation Realm has arrived

In the sky.

Jin Lieri, holding a long, narrow saber emitting dazzling golden light, unleashed countless dense golden saber qi, so brilliant it truly resembled sunlight.

At the same time.

These saber qi surrounded Li Yunxiao, leaving him no escape, making him frantic and unable to defend himself.

Although Li Yunxiao resisted with all his might, he was poisoned and unable to fully exert his strength, making him no match for Jin Lieri.

In fact.

His resistance became increasingly strained.

If this situation continued, Li Yunxiao would undoubtedly die!

Seeing this scene, the disciples of Sunset City immediately became excited; as long as Li Yunxiao was killed, the battle would be over.

At that time, Lingxiao City would be their territory!

In contrast, the disciples of Lingxiao City were all pale, filled with extreme worry.

Li Yunxiao was their City Lord, the strongest combatant of Lingxiao City; once Li Yunxiao was defeated or even killed, only death awaited them!

At this moment.

Li Jianshi and Ma Weiwei, having finished venting, also noticed the situation in the sky.

Upon seeing her father, Li Yunxiao, in such a precarious situation, Li Jianshi immediately became anxious and subconsciously looked at Xiao Ming.

"Brother Xiao..." Li Jianshi said sincerely, "Lingxiao City faces such a crisis, almost beyond salvation; now, only you can help us!"

Ma Weiwei immediately added, "Brother Xiao, please act promptly and save Lingxiao City!"

They were thoroughly impressed by Xiao Ming's strength.

Although Xiao Ming had just advanced to the early Yuqi Realm, his actual combat power was extremely terrifying; even Elder Feng, a late Yuqi Realm expert, had died by his hand.

Such formidable combat power was almost equivalent to a cultivator at the Great Perfection of the Yuqi Realm!

As long as Xiao Ming was willing to act, he would surely be able to turn the tide and rescue Lingxiao City from its predicament!

Even if he couldn't kill Jin Lieri, cooperating with Li Yunxiao to repel Sunset City's attack would be more than enough.

Facing the requests from Ma Weiwei and Li Jianshi, Xiao Ming fell silent.

He truly hadn't expected the situation to be this serious.

Even Li Yunxiao, the City Lord of Lingxiao City, was in a life-or-death crisis. Xiao Ming had originally thought he would merely be a bystander.

He hadn't expected to become the coremain force in resisting Sunset City.

Xiao Ming did not want to act.

Firstly, the fate of Sunset City had nothing to do with him.

Whether it was Lingxiao City or Sunset City, who reigned supreme, what did it matter to Xiao Ming?

Anyway, the resources of the Fire Domain Grotto-heaven were already in his hands, and he could leave at any time.

Secondly.

Even if he acted, the risks and rewards were not proportional.

The reason he was willing to get involved in this mess before was purely because of Ma Weiwei's promise; Ma Weiwei had said that if he was willing to help, she would give him the tai xuan gang jade from her family.

The tai xuan gang jade was one of the three core main materials for forging the Tai Xuan Tian Lin Sword, something Xiao Ming absolutely had to obtain. It was precisely because of Ma Weiwei's promise that he had come to join the fun.

But now it seemed.

This tai xuan gang jade was not worth it!

Because for one tai xuan gang jade, it was not worth him taking such a big risk!

As the City Lord of Sunset City, Jin Lieri was not so easy to deal with. Moreover, to deal with Lingxiao City, Jin Lieri had surely prepared for a long time and had unknown trump cards.

This point must not be overlooked!

After a moment of contemplation.

Under the expectant gazes of Ma Weiwei and Li Jianshi, Xiao Ming shook his head and said, "Sorry, I will not act again."

Before the two could ask, Xiao Ming voluntarily added, "Ultimately, I am just an outsider. The disputes between your cities have nothing to do with me."

"So, let's part ways here!"

With that, Xiao Ming's figure leaped, transforming into a gust of wind that shot into the sky and sped towards outside the city.

Only a disappointed Ma Weiwei and Li Jianshi were left standing, staring blankly at him.

Just as Xiao Ming was about to rush out of the city.

A strange and immense pressure suddenly descended upon the sky above the city. As the pressure surged, the elemental energy in the world instantly boiled.

The elemental energy steamed and then formed a giant defensive barrier. The barrier was blood-red, like an inverted large bowl, completely enveloping the entire Lingxiao City.

Xiao Ming was caught off guard, crashing head-first into the blood-red barrier, then being heavily repelled, almost falling to the ground.

Upon sensing the barrier's sturdiness, Xiao Ming's heart suddenly sank!

His instinctive intuition told him that to deploy such a solid barrier in an instant, it had to be the work of at least a Transformation Domain Realm expert!

Indeed.

A disheveled, hunched old man wearing Jin family attire appeared above the city. The aura emanating from this old man was precisely that of an early Transformation Domain Realm.

A Transformation Domain Realm expert!

Upon discovering the old man's arrival, Xiao Ming's face immediately turned grim, his mood plummeting to rock bottom!

Just by looking at the old man's clothes, it was clear that he was from the Jin family!

He must be Sunset City's greatest trump card.

And a Transformation Domain Realm expert was extremely terrifying; even with Xiao Ming's numerous methods, his current strength was insufficient to contend with a martial artist of this Cultivation Level.

If he were to truly fight, he would likely only face death.

Xiao Ming's heart hardened, and without a word, he immediately mobilized all the true essence within his body, putting all his strength into unleashing a Heaven Sealing Sword Net, shimmering with five colors.

The sword net was extremely sharp, pushing fiercely towards the blood-red barrier in front.

What Xiao Ming needed to do now was to smash through the barrier as quickly as possible before the Transformation Domain Realm expert discovered him, and then escape.

If he hesitated, he would likely be trapped here!

Under Xiao Ming's control, the five-colored sword net, carrying terrifying destructive power, shot forward and then violently collided with the blood-red barrier.

"Boom!!"

A tremor shook the ground.

Under the forceful cutting of the five-colored sword net, the sturdy blood-red barrier was forcibly blasted open with a large gap. Seeing this, Xiao Ming rejoiced in his heart while transforming into a gust of wind and shooting towards the opening.

As long as he crossed the barrier's blockade, he could leave this troublesome place!

However, at this moment.

"Eh?"

A light exclamation sounded from the mouth of the Transformation Domain Realm old man.

"A mere junior in the early Yuqi Realm actually managed to break through this old man's city-trapping barrier? That's a bit interesting," the old man chuckled, saying,

"Such a powerful junior, it would be too regrettable to let him go."

"Junior, prepare to become this old man's blood food!"

As his voice fell.

The old man clenched his single hand into a fist and struck at Xiao Ming from a distance!

With a "buzz"!

The elemental energy in the world instantly gathered, then transformed into a blood-red fist print the size of a house, smashing violently towards Xiao Ming, who was speeding away!
