81: Exclusive Items

"Almost there!"

Xiao Shi looked up, a sharp glint flickering in his eyes.

As night fell,

He could feel all the cells in his body becoming active.

The vast Taiyin Qi Vortex within him also accelerated its rotation.

A considerable amount of Taiyin Qi Strength overflowed from the Qi Vortex, circulating and moving throughout his body.

His entire being reached its optimal state.

His combat power also climbed to its peak.

He stood up from the ground.

With a movement of his body, he vanished from his original spot and began his action.

The jungle under the dark night was pitch black; although moonlight shone, most of it was blocked by dense branches and leaves, unable to penetrate the jungle.

Xiao Shi moved through the dark jungle.

His vision was clear.

Completely unaffected by the darkness.

Although his speed was fast, his movements were light, and the black robe he wore had a concealing effect, making him seem to blend into the darkness, difficult to detect.

This way, even if he discovered Qi Martial Realm martial artists stronger than himself, he could directly move away and not approach them.

Always remain cautious!

This jungle was vast.

He traveled for a long time.

Xiao Shi did not encounter anyone else here.

It wasn't until he heard the sound of flowing water and subsequently discovered a stream in this jungle, that he clearly saw a figure sitting cross-legged in the middle of the stream.

Although there was some distance, with Xiao Shi's night vision, everything in this place was clearly revealed in his eyes.

He saw that the person sitting cross-legged in the stream was a long-faced man, seemingly cultivating in the stream.

On the bank of the stream,

There were two recently deceased bodies.

Evidently, there had been a battle here earlier.

Regardless of whether it was the long-faced man sitting cross-legged in the stream or the two bodies on the stream bank, Xiao Shi could not tell which faction they belonged to from their attire.

He mused that they were either rogue cultivators or from a faction he didn't know.

At the same time, from the fact that the long-faced man was cultivating in the stream, it could be seen that this stream evidently possessed some special efficacy.

These three people must have fought over this stream earlier, resulting in a battle, and ultimately, it was seized by this long-faced man.

Xiao Shi sensed the Qi Strength fluctuations emanating from the other party.

Although the Qi Strength fluctuations from this person were far stronger than all the Qi Martial Realm martial artists Xiao Shi had killed before, after his assessment, the number of Qi Vortexes the opponent had opened should not exceed four.

This strength... he can kill him!

Whoosh!

Xiao Shi's figure instantly vanished from his original spot... The long-faced man sat in the stream, immersed in cultivation, but he did not relax his vigilance.

If there was even the slightest disturbance around him, he would immediately stop cultivating.

At the same time, an invisible and colorless poisonous gas had already been scattered around him; as soon as anyone approached, they would immediately be poisoned.

In addition, he had set up many traps to ensure no one could get close to him.

"As long as I cultivate here a little longer, I can open the fifth Qi Vortex!"

The long-faced man was very expectant.

There are many opportunities and fortunes in the Seven Stars Holy Land.

This stream now has the miraculous effect of accelerating the speed of breaking locks.

Originally, he would need to cultivate for ten days to half a month to break the fifth Qi lock.

Now, he only needed to cultivate here for one night.

He was confident that he could break the fifth Qi lock!

Such a speed of breaking locks was absolutely impossible to achieve outside.

Chii!

A deep black sword Qi broke the tranquility of the place, stirring up a burst of Qi, and from a distance, it flew towards the long-faced man.

"Hmm?"

The long-faced man was suddenly startled awake.

He opened his eyes.

He not only saw the whistling deep black sword Qi but also the tall figure not far away.

This tall figure, like a giant, actually ignored the poison he had scattered, avoided the traps he had set, appeared not far from him, and slashed at him from a distance with a sword.

An intensely strong life-and-death crisis.

Made the long-faced man let out a low growl.

He clasped his hands together and thrust fiercely towards the whistling deep black sword Qi.

The four Qi Vortexes within his body erupted, all his Qi Strength surged into his hands, bursting forth with this thrust.

Boom!!

The huge explosion caused water to splash up throughout the stream.

The long-faced man's figure retreated continuously, and with every step he took, a mouthful of fresh blood spurted from his mouth.

He looked up in horror.

What he saw... were four consecutive deep black sword Qi strikes.

His entire pupils contracted.

Just one sword Qi... he could barely block it with all his strength, and with so many sword Qi whistling at him simultaneously, he saw no hope of survival.

At this critical moment of life and death.

A jade pendant appeared in the long-faced man's hand.

After he crushed the jade pendant,

A barrier instantly formed on his body surface.

Under the booming sound,

Four sword Qi struck the barrier simultaneously.

Although it shattered the barrier, it blocked the attack for the long-faced man.

But before the long-faced man could even breathe a sigh of relief,

Not far away,

Ten deep black sword Qi appeared directly!

"Are you... kidding me!!"

His pupils widened in shock.

He had thought that the opponent unleashing four sword Qi was already his limit, completely unexpected that he could unleash ten sword Qi at once!

He even had a faint feeling... that ten sword Qi might not even be the opponent's limit!

Pfft!

These ten sword Qi simultaneously struck the long-faced man; he no longer had any means of defense.

His entire body was directly torn apart into several pieces by the ten sword Qi strikes.

Xiao Shi looked at the intact ground around him.

Ordinary people might not notice anything unusual about these grounds.

However, during those three years, he had already mastered the relevant secret manuals for traps through the Entering Martial Rank items he had dropped.

Now, whether it was setting traps or discerning them, he had become proficient.

He could tell at a glance that these grounds had traps set.

Furthermore,

The martial emperor mask on his face also made him immune to all poisonous gases.

The long-faced man's methods were all ineffective against him.

Xiao Shi's figure moved.

He arrived beside the long-faced man's corpse.

He picked up the items that had dropped after his death from the ground and examined them carefully.
