The nine sword qi slashed towards Zhang Jin in turn with the momentum of thunder, and Zhang Jin finally came back to his senses, hurriedly used his internal strength, and condensed a spiritual aura light shield in front of him.

As soon as the aura light shield was formed, it was broken by Li Qinghe's nine sword qi under Zhang Jin's shocked gaze!

Poof-

When Li Qinghe's ninth sword qi hit Zhang Jin, Zhang Jin finally couldn't help but spit out a mouthful of blood.

He couldn't stop taking a few steps back, Zhang Jin supported the ground on one leg, and his breath was sluggish.

"Won...?" Everyone in the Li family around them was overjoyed, and finally made this rampant Zhang family suffer a little.

Li Wuyi looked at the young man holding the long sword with a complicated expression, and couldn't help but sigh lightly in his heart, once upon a time, he was still a well-known waste in the family, and in just a few months, Li Qinghe had grown into the first person of the younger generation of the Li family, and it could even be said that he was the first person of the younger generation in Jinling City.

Zhang Jin slowly stood up, gritted his teeth and said, "Okay, Li Qinghe, right, I remember!"

After saying that, he left in a gloomy manner.

Xia Zhuyue came to Li Qinghe's side and said: "This Zhang Jin is actually average in strength, and the one who needs to be wary of the most is his elder brother, who is also the first person of the younger generation in Gusu City - Zhang Tianming. ”

"Zhang Tianming? Li Qinghe frowned and thought.

"Oh I remember, I think I came across it the last time I went to the ruins. Li Qinghe said.

"Have you ever met?" and did you fight?" Xia Zhuyue asked curiously.

"No, I met at the inn at the foot of the Tianshan Mountain. Although he didn't fight, his strength at that time was at least internal. Li Qinghe said with a solemn face.

"Then you have to be careful, his strength must have improved in the past few months. Maybe... It is also possible to break through the realm. Xia Zhuyue said with a serious face.

Li Qinghe nodded.

The crowd on the martial arts training ground dispersed, and the news that Li Qinghe had defeated Zhang Jin with one move quickly spread throughout the clan.

"It deserves to be the first in the city!"

"It seems that we have a chance of winning the competition with the Zhang family this time!"

The young children have a lot of discussions, and in recent years, the Li family has been losing in the competition between the Zhang and Li families. This time, the appearance of Li Qinghe may break this situation.

The news of Li Qinghe's defeat of Zhang Jin soon reached Li Chong's ears, Li Chong slapped his thigh and said, "How did I forget Qinghe, he is different from the past!"

"Perhaps, the hope of this competition is on Qinghe!" Li Zhong said with some expectation.

...

After Li Qinghe defeated Zhang Jin in one move, Zhang Jin did not provoke the children of the Li family again, and Li Qinghe could finally start his own retreat.

"There are still a few days left before this competition, so it should be in time. Li Qinghe said in his heart.

Li Qinghe strengthened the Spirit Gathering Array in the room, and then informed the maids of his courtyard that he was going to retreat, and he didn't want people to disturb him during this time.

Then, Li Qinghe began to prepare for the retreat, which was actually mainly Dacheng Dan.

...

When Li Qinghe was preparing to retreat, there were several people in the hall in the city lord's mansion of Gusu City.

On the main seat of the hall sat a fair-skinned man, slender and thin, but anyone who approached him could feel the pressure on him.

In the seat next to him, sat two old men, the first of whom was dark-skinned, in stark contrast to the fair-skinned man in the main seat.

In the second seat sat an old man wrapped in a black robe, with a mask on his face, which looked a little weird.

"City Lord Zhang, is the matter done?" said the black-robed old man in a hoarse voice.

Sitting on the main seat was the city lord of Gusu City, and Zhang Yuan, who was also the patriarch of the Zhang family.

"Of course. Zhang Yuan said lightly.

"Boom, our bishop is very concerned about this matter, I hope the city lord won't let us down!" the black-robed old man sneered.

The black-robed old man stood up, left the hall, and said as he left, "Then I will wait for the good news of your Zhang family!"

After the black-robed old man left, Zhang Yuan, who had always been indifferent, couldn't help but sigh.

"Patriarch, are we really going to help the Cult of Light all the time?" said the dark-skinned old man sitting at the top of the table.

This dark-skinned old man is Zhang Deyun, the second elder of the Zhang family, who is a twin brother with the eldest elder Zhang Defa, and is also the uncle of the patriarch Zhang Yuan.

"What else can I do..."Zhang Yuan said helplessly. The Divine Cult approached Zhang Yuan half a year ago and offered to cooperate. Zhang Yuan originally refused, but the people of the Divine Sect said that they knew the whereabouts of his wife, and gave him a piece of jade pendant for his wife.

And this time he proposed to revise the agreement with the Li family, which was the request of the Divine Sect, although he was unwilling, but for the sake of his wife, Zhang Yuan had no choice but to agree.

Zhang Deyun looked at Zhang Yuan, whose eyes were a little erratic, and sighed in his heart. Zhang Yuan's wife disappeared a year ago, and Zhang Yuan searched for her like crazy, but in the end there was no news. Zhang Yuan and his wife got acquainted when they were young, and they have been raising their eyebrows for more than ten years, which has always been a pain in Zhang Yuan's heart.

In fact, Zhang Defa and Zhang Deyun also persuaded him, but Zhang Yuan had a stubborn personality, so now they can only obey the arrangement of the Divine Sect.

"I'm afraid that one day, if the royal family knows, then our Zhang family..."Zhang Deyun muttered. shook off the thoughts in his heart, since he was already wrong, he could only be wrong to the end.

...

In a small city on the eastern border of the Ming Dynasty, it was sparsely populated, and birds and beasts were rampant.

There is a large hall in the small city, and the word light is on the main hall, which is a branch of the Bright God Sect.

On the throne in the main hall, there was a figure in a white robe, and his face could not be seen clearly.

In the originally empty hall, a figure appeared, it was the black-robed old man who had just appeared in the Zhang family.

The black-robed old man was half-kneeling, raised his hand and bowed to the people on the throne, "Bishop, the action has begun on the side of Gusu City. ”

The figure on the throne seemed to nod, and then a fluttering voice came out: "Although the ones in Gusu City and Jinling City are only part of the sect leader's plan, you must always keep an eye on them and not make mistakes." ”

"Yes. The black-robed old man responded.

The figure on the throne waved his hand, the black-robed old man nodded, and then the figure disappeared into the main hall.

The figure on the throne muttered, "When the sect master's plan is completed, it may be able to play a role in the future war." ”

"But why do I always have a bad premonition..."

...

In the Li family's mansion, since the news spread that the Zhang family and the Li family revised the agreement, the younger generation of the family has begun to focus on cultivation, and this competition can be said to be not only a gamble on the mineral resources, but also a gamble on the face of the Li family. The Li family has had a tragic record in recent years, and this time Li Qinghe defeated Zhang Jin, which boosted everyone's morale, and they urgently needed a big victory to calm the resentment in their hearts.
