Wuxia: Slay enemies to boost your cultivation; my power is boundless!

There was chaos outside.

Xiao Bieli and Ning Qing had already entered the cave.

Ning Qing followed behind Xiao Bieli and whispered:

"I didn't expect your martial arts skills to have reached this level. Killing Song Kang was no accident!"

Xiao Bieli walked ahead and said calmly:

"Song Kang is nothing special!"

"The one who wants to take my life is a genius on the Dragon and Tiger Ranking. If I don't improve quickly, I'll really have no way out once Zhuo Qingyun comes in person!"

Ning Qing shook her head:

“At your age, Zhuo Qingyun was not as good as you, but now he is probably not far from becoming a Grandmaster!”

Xiao Bieli took off his outer garment and made two simple torches. After lighting them, the flames traveled through the cave.

The entrance to the cave is not large, but the deeper you go, the larger the interior space becomes. It resembles a natural karst cave, although some traces of artificial excavation can be seen.

The deeper you go, the more you marvel at the wonders of nature!

The cave extends downwards, as if it has been opened up all the way down Niutou Ridge.

suddenly,

At a corner, Xiao Bieli just peeked out.

Swish!

A dark figure darted out from a platform at the top like lightning, its hands forming claws as it reached for Xiao Bieli's head.

Xiao Bieli gently turned to the side, and his claw landed on the stone wall of the cave.

Click!

A large section of rock was forcibly removed from the stone wall by that claw.

"what?"

A soft cry came from the attacker, who seemed to be in disbelief that his claw attack had failed at such close range.

"Xiao Bieli?"

"You actually dare to come?"

At this moment, Xiao Bieli also saw the appearance of the attacker. He looked to be about fifty-seven or fifty-eight years old, with his true energy contained within. He was thin and his arms were much longer than those of an ordinary person. His eyes were bright and piercing. He was a fifth-rank master who, like him, had opened his eye aperture.

“'Iron Claw' Yue Ji!” Ning Qing stood beside Xiao Bieli and frowned.

"This man is notorious in your Manzhou, having harmed many people, but his martial arts skills are indeed quite good, otherwise he wouldn't be alive now."

"But when did you start colluding with Xue Zhou?"

"This little one has a good eye!" Yue Ji looked at Ning Qing, slightly taken aback.

"It's a doll dressed as a girl!"

"Xiao Bieli's lover?"

"Xue Zhou gave me benefits and told me to wait here. If Xiao Bieli came in, he told me to take care of him. Although there might be good stuff in here, it's been targeted by the Cangyuan Sword Sect and the Salt Gang, so it's not something I can get my hands on. It's better to take his benefits and deal with you!"

Yue Ji stared at Ning Qing, his eyes slightly narrowed, and said:

"Although this kid is handsome and has good talent."

"But if you have poor judgment and offend Zhuo Qingyun, you're doomed!"

"Following him is not as good as following me!"

"Don't let my appearance fool you, I'm not like those with silver spears and wax arrowheads. I can definitely give you..."

Yue Ji hadn't finished speaking when

Clang!

Ning Qing drew her longsword, its light splitting into nine, the sword energy crisscrossing, causing Yue Ji to change color.

He formed his hands into claws, covered in qi, and struck out repeatedly like a ghost.

Ding-dong!

The sword energy and claw shadows collided, tearing several slits in Yue Ji's clothes above his arms.

Just as the sword's momentum was about to end, Yue Ji suddenly stepped forward and grabbed at Ning Qing with a claw. Ning Qing did not stop at all. She lightly stepped down and retreated several meters away like a ghost, causing Yue Ji's claw to miss.

Ning Qing smiled as she looked at Xiao Bieli and said:

"Brother Xiao, what do you think of my sword strike?"

Xiao Bieli nodded and said:

"This sword strike is like a gazelle leaping off a cliff, leaving no trace, and as fast as lightning. If you were to reach the fifth rank, this sword strike would be enough to kill Yue Ji!"

"Unfortunately, you haven't reached the fifth rank, and he has protective gear on his arms, so your sword energy couldn't break through it!"

Ning Qing then said:

"What would happen if you, Brother Xiao, were to make a move?"

Xiao Bieli said calmly:

"Of course, he's doomed!"

Hehehe!

Seeing that the two of them didn't take him seriously at all, Yue Ji laughed in anger:

"Even Xue Zhou wouldn't dare say he's got me cornered!"

"Who do you think you are?"

Hey!

Xiao Bieli let out a soft sigh and extended a finger:

"One knife!"

"What?" Yue Ji was taken aback, then realized what he meant and sneered repeatedly.

"It seems I can't let you die too easily today!"

He had seen many arrogant people, but he had never seen anyone as arrogant as Xiao Bieli before.

He is a mid-stage fifth-rank being who has opened his eye and ear orifices.

Moreover, he has offended so many people in Manzhou over the years. The reason he survived is because he is skilled in martial arts and has a high-grade inner armor, which makes him difficult to harm with ordinary weapons.

"If I can't kill you with one strike, there's no need for me to go in and look for Xue Zhou!" Xiao Bieli said lightly.

But the expression on his face made Yue Ji's expression even more unpleasant.

Ning Qing's eyes sparkled with interest. When Song Kang died at Xiao Bieli's hands, she suspected that Xiao Bieli was already a fifth-rank cultivator. Now that Xiao Bieli was so arrogant, could he be a late-stage fifth-rank cultivator or even a peak fifth-rank cultivator with all seven orifices open?

boom!

Yue Ji made the first move.

He formed claws with his hands, which were covered in qi, and his body rushed towards Xiao Bieli like a ghost.

Wherever the energy passed,

Claw marks were left on the cave walls.

Countless pebbles, accompanied by a strong gust of wind, shot towards Xiao Bieli.

At the same time, countless claw shadows attacked Xiao Bieli, so numerous that it was impossible to distinguish which claw shadow was real and which was an illusion.

Seeing that the rubble was about to hit Xiao Bieli, but Xiao Bieli still did not react at all, Yue Ji's eyes showed a solemn expression.

He certainly didn't think Xiao Bieli was scared out of his wits by this claw; it could only mean that Xiao Bieli was confident!

Or perhaps, they simply didn't take him seriously!

However, the arrow was already on the string and had to be released; at this point, he had no way out!

Moreover, no matter how strong Xiao Bieli is, he shouldn't be able to kill him instantly!

One thought comes to this,

Yue Ji suddenly channeled all his inner energy, determined to make Xiao Bieli pay the price for underestimating him!

Just as the pebbles were about to hit Xiao Bieli,

boom!

Xiao Bieli's protective aura suddenly appeared.

Clang!

The red-sleeved knife was drawn.

Swish!

'not good! '

Yue Ji's heart tightened. In his eyes, this slash was truly ordinary, straightforward and direct.

This strike was simply too fast, so fast that even he didn't have time to react. Yue Ji's protective aura dissipated, and he stood frozen in place with a strange expression on his face.

next moment,

puff!

Yue Ji's head flew off, and blood splattered everywhere.

Kill the owl with a knife!

[Experience +4000!]

Ning Qing's expression changed as she scrutinized Xiao Bieli.

She came from the Ning family of Zhenwu Hall. He had seen not only fifth-rank experts make a move, but even grandmasters had made a move several times.

But among all the fifth-rank masters he had ever met, none of them had a blade that was this fast!

"Brother Xiao, Brother Xiao, I originally thought you could become Zhuo Qingyun's opponent!"

"But now I believe that within three years, Zhuo Qingyun will be trampled under your feet!"

"The only ones who can rival you are the top three on the Dragon and Tiger Ranking!"
