Starting from iron smelting

It should be possible to fight them head-on. I have the confidence that I can win as long as I can remove the influence of the expired Qi Gathering Powder as soon as possible.

Lu Xiuyuan's insistence did not inspire any sympathy from the people in the Spiritual Medicine Garden. On the contrary, they seemed even more complacent. Upon hearing Lu Xiuyuan's answer, a member of the Spiritual Medicine Garden could not help but burst into laughter, almost bending over with laughter.

"You are still holding on. Did you think I didn't see you when you and Liu Meng were cutting the blood vine wood just now?" The leader said sarcastically. Their contempt for Lu Xiuyuan was obvious. They thought it was a joke that an outsourced disciple in the early stage of Qi training dared to challenge him.

Suddenly, he took off the mask on his face, revealing his true face. This sudden action shocked his two companions and Liu Meng. His companions exclaimed in fear: "Are you crazy? Why are you showing your face to the other side? What if you are recognized?" Liu Meng also exclaimed at the same time: "Why is it you, Wang Heng?"

At this time, Wang Heng's face was distorted and hideous, with a crazy expression. He said to the team members: "Since I have taken off the mask, I am not afraid of being recognized by the opposite side, because these two people cannot walk out of here alive." The determination and madness he revealed were chilling.

After hearing this, Lu Xiuyuan said to Liu Meng, "Brother Liu Meng, the other side has made up their minds to kill us. Don't hide it. If we don't show some real skills today, it will be difficult for us to get out of here." His tone revealed a firm determination and he was not afraid of his opponent's threats.

Liu Meng's face was solemn. He held the Nine-Ring Knife in his hand and felt the cold texture of the blade. His hands trembled slightly, and the veins on his arms bulged, as if he was releasing his inner repression and anger. The Nine-Ring Knife shone brightly in the woods, reflecting Liu Meng's resolute eyes. He knew that the duel at this moment was not only for the dignity of the firewood room, but also for their own survival and dignity.

When the other people in the Spiritual Medicine Garden saw Wang Heng take off his mask, they also took off their masks. Both sides formed their battle formations and the battle was about to break out.

Wang Heng from the Spiritual Medicine Garden uses a blue water-protecting umbrella. The umbrella is azure blue with a painting of clear water and sky on it. The handle is emerald green, as if it were a magical object from a fairyland. He holds the water-protecting umbrella in his hands, his posture is elegant and majestic, revealing a unique aura. This is not a mundane object, but an exquisite magical instrument that makes people fall in love with it.

Another person in the middle stage of Qi training pinched the magic formula with his left hand, and a fireball appeared on his right hand. The fireball was blazing hot, and the heat rushed straight to Lu Xiuyuan's face. The light of the fireball illuminated the entire forest, which was extremely dazzling. The scorching air made Lu Xiuyuan open his eyes with difficulty. He felt the heat wave coming, as if the sea of ​​fire was about to swallow everything.

The third member of the Spiritual Medicine Garden took out a flying knife. This flying knife was small and exquisite, and the blade was flashing with cold light. The blade was silver-white in color, emitting a chill, as if a cold wind was whistling past. The flying knife was unusually sharp, and the blade was slightly shining with cold light, which made people feel a chill.

Lu Xiuyuan found that he had no suitable weapon, so he quickly asked Liu Meng for help: "Brother Liu Meng, do you have any suitable weapon? Give me one. I can't help you with my bare hands."

Liu Meng immediately agreed and took out a fine steel sword from his storage bag. Although it was not a treasure, the sword was extremely sharp, and the blade exuded a cold chill, which set off Liu Meng's resolute eyes, as tough as cold iron. At this time, they stood in a row to welcome the three people from the Spiritual Medicine Garden. The atmosphere was solemn and tense.

Wang Heng was the first to attack, and he used a spell to activate the Water Control Umbrella. A layer of water drops appeared on the umbrella, and then countless tiny water drops gathered into a trickle, like a nimble snake. Under the control of the Water Control Umbrella, the water drops were shining and colorful, forming a strange and flexible offensive. This stream of water was like flowing clouds and water, washing away the dust in the air and condensing a fresh water vapor.

Wang Heng urged the water snake to attack Lu Xiuyuan and the others. The water snake came with great force and speed, making the sound of breaking through the air. With a whoosh, it quickly approached Liu Meng, intending to take Liu Meng's head. Lu Xiuyuan immediately sensed the danger and shouted, "Brother Liu Meng, be careful."

Liu Meng took a deep breath, responded calmly, lowered his body's center of gravity, and quickly took a stable horse stance. He held the handle of the Nine Ring Knife tightly with both hands and slashed it down with force. The metal blade collided with the water, making a clanging sound. At this moment, the knife light and the water splashed together, forming a fierce collision.

In the clash between the Nine-Ring Blade and the water snake, the water flow was split into two parts by the powerful force. Liu Meng's Nine-Ring Blade was like splitting a water curtain, cutting the water snake into two parts. The water flow splashed in all directions, and the splashing water droplets formed a fine mist in the air, exuding a cool breath.

This attack made Wang Heng slightly stunned. He did not expect Liu Meng's counterattack to be so decisive and powerful. Without pausing, he waved his hand and activated the water umbrella again. The water flow recondensed, forming a new offensive, rolling towards Liu Meng.

The water snake that attacked again burst into countless small streams the moment it was split, and each stream was extremely sharp, like a blade. These small streams attacked Liu Meng quickly and fiercely, scraping Liu Meng's cheek. Liu Meng didn't care, but just gently touched the blood on his face with his hand, and a sneer appeared at the corner of his mouth, saying: "So you are the kind of sneak attack. From fighting openly to this kind of sneak attack, what kind of ability is that."

"Hurting someone secretly? Haven't you heard that the army has no fixed position, and the water has no fixed shape. My water can change as I want. Do you want to hear your noise here?" Wang Heng said calmly, waving his hand and activating the water umbrella again. The water drops on the ground condensed again under his control, forming a new water snake attack. This time, the water snake became more agile and more aggressive.

Seeing this, Liu Meng's expression became more solemn, and he swung the Nine Rings Knife again, slashing at the newly formed water snake. However, this time Wang Heng changed, his water snake turned into countless tiny water droplets, and attacked Liu Meng like raindrops. Liu Meng dodged left and right in the rain of water droplets, but still couldn't avoid being scratched by a few drops of water.

As soon as Wang Heng finished speaking, he activated the water umbrella again. The water droplets on the ground condensed again under his guidance, as if they were summoned water spirits. This time, the water droplets transformed into two hands, floating in the air vividly and mysteriously, like two nimble dancers.

The two water hands stretched out, flexibly shuttled through the air, and were about to touch Liu Meng's ankles. Liu Meng responded quickly, the Nine Rings Sword flashed, and fiercely slashed at the water hands. But unlike the previous attack, this time the water hands seemed more agile, dodging very cleverly, and always maintained a threat to Liu Meng's ankles.
