105: Luo Li, you go up

“Sorry, Master, I won't be careless next time.”

Li Ping'an was on the verge of tears. He had intended to challenge Luo Li across realms and crush her arrogance, but instead, he had ruined his foundation.

Luo Li had the Phoenix Nirvana Fire, and his Master hadn't told him earlier.

If he had known, he wouldn't have been careless at all.

A hint of resentment arose in Li Ping'an towards his Master.

“Are you an Artifact Spirit or a remnant soul? Did you help restore Li Ping'an's talent?”

Luo Li looked at the broken sword in Li Ping'an's hand, deep in thought.

She felt a little disappointed.

She figured it was likely the remnant soul of a Sword Dao expert, but she didn't cultivate the Sword Dao.

Moreover, she had many secrets and couldn't possibly keep a remnant soul by her side.

This meant that Li Ping'an's fortuitous encounter was destined to be of no use to her.

The remnant soul ignored Luo Li, directly siphoning the Phoenix Nirvana Fire from Li Hong's body and once again transmitting a surge of power.

Li Ping'an's mangled body instantly came back to life like a withered tree in spring, his charred flesh rapidly regaining vitality.

But compared to his previous foundation, the difference was immeasurable.

“Enough.”

As Li Ping'an's cultivation rose to Wangzhe Realm Peak, he immediately stopped the remnant soul from transmitting more power.

“Are you sure?” The remnant soul's tone was cold, tinged with annoyance.

“I'm sure.”

Li Ping'an nodded with a firm expression.

He had been careless just now, but now that he was prepared, he felt confident again.

After all, since his debut, he had never lost. Challenging and defeating enemies across realms was as simple as eating and drinking.

All those Heaven's Chosen and monstrous talents had been suppressed by his single sword.

Li Ping'an was confident that Luo Li was no exception.

“Alright, I hope you don't regret it.” The remnant soul no longer interfered. Since Li Ping'an wanted to suffer, he would let him.

Lest he constantly overestimate himself, thinking he was invincible after killing a few ants.

“Regret?”

Li Ping'an's lips curled into a cold sneer.

He had been through hundreds of battles and possessed rich combat experience. How could he be compared to a hothouse flower like Luo Li?

“Ping'an, hurry and leave! Don't worry about me.”

Li Hong's divine sense stirred, wanting to take out a few pills to heal his injuries, but found nothing.

Only then did he remember that all his good things had been given to Luo Li.

Li Hong's face was extremely grim, filled with immense hatred for Luo Li.

However, now was not the time to think about such things. He and his son were no match for Luo Li.

He was already crippled; whether he left or not, he would ultimately die.

But Li Ping'an was different. He possessed a great fortuitous encounter and might be able to avenge him in the future.

“Shut up! You are not worthy of calling my name anymore.”

Li Ping'an said sharply.

Although Li Hong had truly repented, the great mistake had been made, and he would never forgive Li Hong in this life.

“I~” Li Hong dared not look into Li Ping'an's eyes, shifting his gaze to Luo Li with resentment.

“It's all you! If not for your bewitchment, how could my family be ruined, my wife and children scattered? You are so cruel!”

Hearing this, Luo Li calmly replied, “What did I bewitch you with? From beginning to end, weren't you begging me to accept your things like a dog?”

“You... I treated you with sincerity, don't you feel even a little guilty?” Li Hong was overcome with anger, so enraged he wanted to spit blood.

“I only feel utterly disgusted.” Luo Li looked at him with revulsion, her eyes as if she were looking at something dirty.

Although everyone has a love for beauty.

But how dared an old, useless man like him covet her?

The more Luo Li thought about it, the more disgusted and unlucky she felt.

“Pfft!”

Li Hong vomited blood, a mix of anger and shame, utterly mortified.

He never expected that Luo Li, beautiful as a celestial fairy and noble as a goddess, would utter such cold words.

Wasn't the Star God Temple a righteous sect?

Why would they raise such a malicious disciple?

Li Hong finally realized how absurd his thoughts had been.

“Luo Li, you've gone too far! I'll make you pay for this blood debt!”

Li Ping'an pointed his sword at Luo Li, a sword aura soaring into the sky, exuding unparalleled sharpness.

The hatred in his eyes threatened to spill out.

Although he had decided to draw a clear line with Li Hong, Luo Li's humiliation also made him extremely uncomfortable.

“Blood debt?”

“How many times have you said that?”

“An ant borrowing another's power dares to speak such arrogant words. You and your useless father are both good-for-nothing trash, one an old good-for-nothing, the other a young good-for-nothing.”

Luo Li's words made the father and son's faces turn as ugly as if they had eaten a dead rat.

Li Ping'an swore he would defeat the arrogant and haughty Luo Li and trample her pride underfoot.

“Senior.”

Luo Li looked at the long sword in Li Ping'an's hand.

“I'll give you a chance. Submit to me, and I can bestow upon you great fortune.”

“?” The remnant soul.

He shook his head speechlessly, a sense of sorrow in his heart.

To think of his former existence, an invincible Sword God who roamed the Nine Heavens Immortal Realm, now reduced to this state.

“You don't know what's good for you.”

Luo Li's expression turned cold. Clearly, she had mistaken the invincible Sword God of the Immortal Realm for a down-and-out small fry.

She thought of killing Li Ping'an first, then properly dealing with the remnant soul.

Although she didn't plan to use the broken sword, an old monster who had lived for countless years was a treasure in itself and not to be missed.

Refining his remnant soul would surely advance her strength further.

“?” The Sword God remnant soul.

He had lived for countless years, and Luo Li was the first person who dared to treat him with such contempt.

However, he was too lazy to argue with Luo Li.

She was just a frog at the bottom of a well.

“Luo Li, do you dare to fight me in the starry sky?”

Li Ping'an no longer dared to press on, fearing that if he continued, the Sword God might be tempted.

However, this was a city controlled by the Li family, where countless clansmen lived. Fighting here meant losing half the battle before it even began.

“You are not worthy.”

A mere ant in the Xuan Dan Realm, even if he borrowed someone else's power, how much could he exert?

Did Li Ping'an know how to use the domains and divine abilities of the King Realm?

Luo Li had roughly figured out some of the remnant soul's bottom lines.

Currently, he could at least lend Li Ping'an a Venerable Realm cultivation, which was still within her manageable range.

It was just that Li Ping'an insisted on only using King Realm cultivation, truly arrogant and courting death.

Thinking this, a Phoenix Nirvana Spear appeared in Luo Li's hand. She went all out, summoning her Phoenix Dharma Idol.

A lifelike phoenix soared across the sky, covering the heavens and earth, enveloped in an boundless sea of fire, burning the firmament.

The scorching heat instantly incinerated Qianlong City. Cultivators below the Void Dao Realm were directly reduced to ashes.

“Hiss~”

“Run!”

The powerful experts in the city were greatly alarmed, terrified to their core, fleeing for their lives.

The Phoenix Nirvana Fire was too terrifying; even a trace of it would turn one into a cripple, if not kill them.

But clearly, they couldn't escape. They were instantly burned to death by the descending Phoenix Nirvana Fire, their souls annihilated.

“Master...”

As the Phoenix Dharma Idol appeared, Li Ping'an's face turned pale, his invincible Dao Heart instantly shattered, and he looked at the Phoenix Dharma Idol with horror.

This Phoenix Dharma Idol, imbued with the aura of the indestructible and eternal laws, possessed the Dao charm only found in the Divine Fire Realm.

No need to ask, he knew it must be that Luo Li had refined the divine fire of the Divine Fire Realm and forged it into a Dharma Idol divine ability.

Its power was terrifying beyond compare. Even if he were ten times stronger, he would be incinerated into ashes.

“Didn't you boast you would defeat her?” The Sword God remnant soul sneered.

While saying this, his actions were not slow at all, immediately transmitting Venerable Realm power to him.

“Luo Li...”

Boom~!

Upon gaining the Venerable Realm Triple cultivation, Li Ping'an's confidence instantly returned.

With a prominent demeanor, his handsome face was filled with arrogance and indifference.

A Dharma Idol was ultimately just a Dharma Idol, not a true Divine Fire Realm divine ability. He had absolute confidence in suppressing Luo Li.

After all, there was a fundamental difference between the Venerable Realm and the King Realm.

However, before he could finish speaking, the Phoenix Dharma Idol swooped down, carrying an boundless sea of fire and astonishing spear intent, intending to kill him with one strike.

With a thunderous crash, the city stretching for thousands of miles instantly turned into an abyss, permeated with Phoenix Nirvana Fire and sword intent.

“Ah ah ah!”

Li Ping'an and Li Hong lay in the pit, their bodies engulfed in raging flames, rolling on the ground in agony.

“Useless.”

“Like father, like son. A useless father begets a useless son. They truly are a match made in heaven.”

Luo Li's words were completely correct. Li Ping'an was a stupid good-for-nothing.

Upon gaining the Venerable Realm Triple power, he didn't immediately break through her Phoenix Dharma Idol to avoid its edge, but instead chose to meet it head-on.

Even if he managed to withstand her spear Dao divine ability, the Phoenix Nirvana Fire alone would be enough to burn Li Ping'an to death.

Li Ping'an didn't even know such an obvious counter to a divine ability.

And he still wanted to defeat her?

Simply wishful thinking.

“Master, save me.”

Li Ping'an quickly cried for help, filled with immense hatred in his heart, he had been careless again.

He thought he could split open the Phoenix Dharma Idol with one sword strike.

Who knew that while the Dharma Idol was split open, he couldn't extinguish the Phoenix Nirvana Fire.

If only he had another chance... “Sigh.” The Sword God remnant soul sighed.

Li Ping'an was truly too arrogant. On the surface, he looked calm and composed, but in reality, he was more arrogant than anyone, looking down on the Heaven's Chosen of his generation.

Now that he had suffered such a great loss, it would serve as a lesson for Li Ping'an.

“You are not her opponent. Release your soul and let this Seat deal with her.”

“This... Alright.”

The moment the Sword God took control of the body, a majestic sword intent surged into the sky, forming its own world of swords, where all things transformed into swords.

Li Ping'an's eyes held an ancient and profound aura, his presence seemingly merging with heaven and earth, transcending all Dao, like an ancient Sword God.

Luo Li's pupils contracted sharply. Being locked onto by the majestic sword intent caused a strong sense of crisis to arise within her, and her soul was pierced by the sword intent.

“Not good...” A hint of panic appeared in Luo Li's eyes. She had thought it was a half-dead remnant soul, capable of exerting at most Venerable Realm power.

However, judging by this stance, it was already exuding Saint Dao laws.

This remnant soul was definitely not a simple figure in his lifetime; his Sword Dao was divine.

Thinking of her arrogant words just now, Luo Li broke out in a cold sweat.

If she had been ambushed by the remnant soul without knowing, she probably wouldn't even know how she died.

“Who are you?”

Ji Ning instantly appeared before her, asking with a solemn expression.

Whoosh!

The Sword God remained silent, pointing a finger. Heaven and earth lost their color; only a streak of sword light cut through eternity, illuminating the ancient past.

He was not a fool like Li Ping'an, who liked to talk nonsense.

Ji Ning reacted extremely quickly, moving Luo Li away with a thought, conjuring a Saint-grade Artifact cauldron to protect her, and five divine swords flew out.

This was a set of Five Elements Divine Swords, each a Supreme-grade Artifact.

When combined, the five swords could form the Five Elements Endless Sword Array, annihilating all things.

Boom!

The void exploded, infinite sword light overflowed, each capable of killing a King Realm expert.

Ji Ning formed hand seals, and the Five Elements Divine Swords erupted with dazzling five-colored divine light. Wherever they passed, all things were assimilated by the power of the five elements.

The Sword God remnant soul's expression changed. He took one step, and was already billions of miles away.

The Five Elements Sword Array was extremely powerful. Once trapped, even he had no certainty of breaking free.

After all, the power of the five elements was endless, capable of forming a Five Elements World, giving rise to an infinite supply of Five Elements Sword Qi.

“Five Elements Divine Body...”

“I didn't expect to find such a brilliant and peerless talent as you in this small plane. Are you willing to take me as your master?”

The Sword God remnant soul developed a desire to nurture talent.

He not only valued Ji Ning's Five Elements Divine Body but even more so her comprehension and solid foundation.

If she were guided by him, Ji Ning's future would be limitless.

At least her aptitude was better than Li Ping'an's.

“Are you an Immortal Realm powerhouse?”

Hearing the words “small plane,” Ji Ning's heart skipped a beat, and she instinctively wanted to escape, prioritizing her life.

However, hearing the latter half of the sentence, she abruptly stopped.

“Indeed!”

The Sword God nodded, looking at Ji Ning with an appreciative gaze, growing more satisfied the more he looked.

Because from a wisp of Ji Ning's aura, he had deduced that Ji Ning was also a body cultivator, with an incredibly powerful physique.

It was estimated that even a Saint Realm expert would find it difficult to break her defense.

“Master, she is that malicious woman...” Li Ping'an grew anxious. He wanted his Master to come out and kill his enemy, not take a disciple.

If he took Ji Ning as a disciple, what would happen to him?

“Shut up!”

The Sword God remnant soul coldly reprimanded, feeling annoyed.

To interfere with his decision, Li Ping'an was becoming increasingly undisciplined.

“Thank you for your kindness, Senior, but I don't wish to take a master for now.”

Ji Ning politely declined. It wasn't that she looked down on his legacy, but she feared being possessed. After all, he was an old monster who had lived for countless millennia; how could he be a benevolent sort?

Although the other party was male, gender was not important to some people, and there were many secret arts in this world that could reverse yin and yang.

Therefore, rather than taking risks, it was better to cultivate steadily on her own. With the Star God Temple as a treasure trove, she lacked no cultivation techniques or divine abilities.

Moreover, she had already decided to cling to Gu Qing's coattails.

Gu Qing was extraordinarily mysterious, suspected to be a reincarnated powerhouse, or to have obtained a supreme legacy.

Most importantly, he was generous.

As long as she behaved as a proper hanger-on, Gu Qing would surely not mistreat her.

“Are you rejecting this Seat?”

The Sword God's expression darkened, boundless sword intent permeated the void, each strand of sword qi seemingly capable of splitting the void.

“So what if I am?”

The Sword God was observing her, and she was also observing the Sword God.

The Saint Realm First Level he was currently displaying was probably his limit, so there was nothing to fear.

She could fight the Sword God for ten days.

“The younger generation is formidable.”

The Sword God smiled, retracting his aura, adopting the demeanor of an enlightened senior.

Ji Ning's eyes flickered. To be honest, she was also tempted by the Sword God's remnant soul.

If she could refine it, it would definitely be a great fortune.

“Luo Li, you go. Challenge Li Ping'an.” She wasn't quite sure of the Sword God's true strength, but the remnant soul's power was limited and had significant restrictions. She could let Luo Li test the Sword God's reaction.

If he refused to fight, it would indicate that the Sword God remnant soul had little power left.

“??? ”

Luo Li hadn't yet recovered from the shock of Ji Ning breaking through to the Saint Realm when she heard this, and she was instantly bewildered.

Why did she have to go?

You're a Saint, and you're not going. Are you sending me to my death?

...There's one more chapter coming soon.
