(Chapter 48:)

He just watched around quietly, preventing Ling Cang's sudden attack

Li Lie was engrossed, but he could only see Ling Cang's infinite phantom, and suddenly, a sword shadow attacked, and it was another sword qi that seemed to be nothing, so fast that Li Lie couldn't react

The sword qi hit his chest, leaving a blood mark, and there was a hot pain in his chest, but for Li Lie, who had cultivated to ninety percent of the Seven Wounds Fist, this sword was not enough to hurt his internal organs, and his internal strength was too strong

Li Lie was surprised, the afterimage sword technique was so terrifying, rumors in the rivers and lakes, the afterimage appeared, and the head fell, but he couldn't see that the other party had already been hit, and in an instant, several sword shadows roared in, Li Lie was powerless to dodge, and he was forced to take it down, I don't know if the afterimage was too fast, or Ling Cang did it intentionally, these sword qi all deviated from his life, just like he used the Seven Wounds Punch on the young man at the beginning, and he didn't kill him

However, Li Lie's mental nature and combat experience were far beyond ordinary people, even if he was hit by multiple swords on his body, he did not show the slightest panic, he was surprised and at the same time quickly thought of a strategy to deal with the enemy, Ling Cang's first sword injured him but did not hurt his internal organs

This inspired him, using internal force to block the sword qi, only to see that he quickly exercised his strength, and mobilized his true qi to the greatest extent, after pouring the moment, he burst out, and the internal force of his whole body was released, cracking his clothes, revealing a strong muscle, and the qi waves around him rolled, and the powerful shock wave set off pieces of rubble, and a thatched house behind him collapsed

Li Lie stood in the whirlpool of air waves, his hair was scattered, the corners of his mouth were raised, and a smile appeared on his face, Li Lie opened his arms and looked proud, "Come on, let me see if your afterimage is as terrible as the rumors in the rivers and lakes" He looked at the infinite phantom in front of him, and shouted loudly

Immediately afterwards, the sword qi roared like a torrential rain, transforming into invisible, and killing with a move, but a strange scene appeared, no matter how sharp the afterimage was, it turned into nothingness in front of Li Lie, and the invisible sword qi exploded around Li Lie's body, hitting the air waves, setting off ripples in the air, although the afterimages were fast, they could not conflict with the qi waves, and the sword qi was deadly, but they could not get close to the enemy

Li Lie stood in the whirlpool of air flow and sword qi, his face was full of excitement, he looked at the invisible person and sword qi in front of him, and showed a contemptuous smile, "Although the afterimage is strong, your sword is not fast enough."

Outside the whirlpool of qi waves, Ling Cang stopped casting the afterimage, his phantom disappeared after a few illusions, and his true body appeared in front of Li Lie, his face was full of astonishment, the unique sword technique created by Huashan Sword Spirit was blocked for the first time, and the afterimage completely failed when facing this Kongtong Sect's first day

Ling Cang fell into passivity, although on the surface, Li Lie only used his true qi to defend, but there was no chance to fight back, but Ling Cang understood that if he continued to stalemate like this, he would definitely lose, the use of the Afterimage Sword Technique was extremely consuming of true qi, and only a master who cultivated to be above the sixth order could meet the minimum requirements for cultivating the afterimage, and Ling Cang's cultivation was exactly the sixth order, and cultivation was the biggest bottleneck that limited him from exerting the power of the afterimage

Because no matter what kind of exercises, they are all performed on the basis of true qi and internal force, and cultivation is also the division of the cultivator's internal force and true qi, the difference between the first order is like a moat, and Li Lie uses internal force to change the qi pressure around his body, which also requires true qi to do it, so the duel just now is actually a competition of true qi, and in the face of Li Lie, whose cultivation is much higher than him, Ling Cang has no chance of winning

Ling Cang was stunned at the same time, he was impressed by the strength of this Kongtong on the first day, in addition to the gap in cultivation, Li Lie's unchaotic aura, calm and unhurried, and then the judgment of the strain, had to be admired, this battle between Ling Cang and Li Lie was exactly the same as the battle form of Tianming and the woman in black, Li Lie and Tianming were both genius disciples of Kongtong, because of the cultivation of the Seven Injuries Fist, both of them were also good at internal strength

And Ling Cang and the woman are both sword cultivators, Ling Cang uses the afterimage sword technique, and the woman is good at willow leaf swordsmanship, although the two swordsmanship are obviously different, but there is one thing in common, that is, to restrain martial arts techniques like the Seven Wounds Fist, although this kind of exercises are extremely lethal, but they need to be urged with the help of strong internal force, which is also the biggest disadvantage of this type of exercise, the attack is sluggish, too clumsy

Therefore, in the face of the sword cultivation skills that are good at speed, they will fall into a very passive situation, in the duel with the woman before Tianming, it is precisely because of this reason that they will fall into the disadvantage step by step, in the face of the sharp willow leaf swordsmanship, he just blindly used the seven wounds fist to resist, but the seven wounds fist is extremely consuming internal force, and is restrained by the willow leaf swordsmanship, so in a very short period of time he was seriously injured and defeated

On the other hand, Li Lie did not make a rash move in the face of an unfavorable situation, but gave full play to his advantages to the greatest extent, using strong internal force to offset the afterimage sword technique, turning the duel into a competition of true qi, turning passivity into initiative, and restraining his Ling Cang in the exercises was completely in danger

The two of them are both geniuses of Kongtong, and they are both the successors of the future head of the family, but through the comparison of battles, Li Lie is much stronger than Tianming in terms of strength and heart, no wonder Tianming is so frightened when he talks about this person, as a disciple of the head of the family, he is not strong, but compared with Li Lie, it is really too far behind

After using the afterimage for a long time, Ling Cang's true qi was seriously consumed, and at this moment, his breath was chaotic, and there were sweat droplets overflowing from his head, and he couldn't stop panting

Li Lie smiled contemptuously, "Your killer weapon has already been spent, what are you going to do to fight me next," he said in a playful tone, looking at Ling Cang's eyes full of contempt

Ling Cang quickly breathed, thinking about the strategy to deal with the enemy in his mind, he must not panic at this time, once his heart is disturbed, then everything will be over

Li Lie saw Ling Cang's thoughts, and immediately decided to take the lead, in his opinion, Ling Cang is a dangerous person, just from the fact that he can still be in danger when he is in danger, he can see that this person's heart is extraordinary, this is a person with extremely strong psychological quality, and this kind of person is often the most dangerous

Because Li Lie is such a person, and Ling Cang communicates with him in this regard, so even if he has the upper hand, he does not take it lightly in the slightest, and he will not give Ling Cang any chance to turn the tables, because he never despises any opponent, let alone Ling Cang, an opponent with a strong heart

I saw that he quickly mobilized his internal force, Kongtong Juexue Seven Injuries Fist was used again, and a powerful wave of qi swept towards Ling Cang, Ling Cang was surprised, how strong is this person's internal force, the Seven Injuries Fist first hurt himself and then hurt others, even Gao Hantian, the head of Kongtong, did not dare to use it rashly in the face of the Dragon Elephant, and Li Lie was able to do it with ease, which is enough to show that Li Lie is terrible, he is only a seventh-layer martial arts cultivator, but he has the strong internal strength of an eight-layer powerhouse, which is why he can cultivate the Seven Injuries Fist to ninety

A powerful wave of qi struck towards Ling Cang, this blow had the momentum of thunder, but Ling Cang didn't dodge, his eyes were staring at the front, even if the endless killing intent was approaching, there was no intention to dodge

Li Lie chuckled, and it was the same scene as just now, casting the afterimage when the qi wave was approaching, and this was exactly what he calculated, once the afterimage appeared, he would once again release his internal force, and use the qi wave vortex to block those sword qi that were transformed into invisible, so that the duel between the two returned to the competition of true qi, and this happened to hit his heart

Ling Cang is magical and serious, the tumbling waves of qi continue to expand in his pupils, there are flames burning in his eyes, and several spirit runes are held in his hands, but this is not a spirit talisman, but the head of Huashan personally created, a spirit rune specially used for defense, the earth shield, this spirit rune contains the power of the mountain, can block powerful attacks, but these spirit runes disobey the mountain god, the effect of defense is only between one breath, and it consumes true qi, and cannot be used as an ordinary means of defense, so it must not be used in vain until the moment of life and death

But Ling Cang broke the limit, in the face of Li Lie's full force blow of the Seven Wounds Fist, he cast the afterimage to avoid this fatal blow, but he didn't do it, because he knew very well that once he cast the afterimage again, he would fall into the danger that Li Lie had laid out, and by then the true qi was exhausted, he would definitely die, the true qi in his body was running out, he would never do this kind of dying struggle, when the qi wave was approaching, he knocked out all the earth shields, and the spirit rune emitted a faint white light, manifesting an invisible barrier in front of him, and his Dao cultivation was very poor, It can't be like a Dao master's thoughts, but a few earth shield talismans are enough to block Li Lie's Seven Wounds Fist with all his strength

Li Lie saw a huge wave of qi explode in front of Ling Cang, and the huge shock wave caused the surrounding air to vibrate, but he knew that this blow was not enough to kill Ling Cang, the corners of his mouth rose, outlining an arc "Is it an afterimage again" Li Lie chuckled, quickly turned around his true qi, and the internal force was released again, and the air flow around him was chaotic, and the qi wave formed a barrier around him

The next moment, a huge sword shadow struck directly in front of him, Li Lie chuckled, "It's useless, although the afterimage is fast, it can't break through the qi wave, the sharper the sword qi, the easier it is to die, just like the sword itself, the sharper the sword edge, and the more fragile the sword itself"

But this kind of contempt was fleeting, and in an instant, Li Lie's face changed suddenly, and the expression that was still in his hands just now was gone, this was not an afterimage, Li Lie subconsciously reacted, the afterimage sword qi was weak, and it turned into wind, if there was nothing

The sword shadow that burst in front of him was the opposite, the sword qi approached at a speed visible to the naked eye, exuding a silver cold glow like a crescent moon, and Li Lie could emotionally hear the sound of the air being torn

In a moment, a huge sword shadow appeared in front of Li Lie's eyes, and he clearly saw the silver cold light tearing the air wave vortex approaching him, Li Lie's face changed suddenly, such a powerful blow, if the afterimage was a sharp and light sword, the shield-like wave of qi was enough to break it, but this sword qi was like a thick and heavy long knife, with the power of armor piercing

Li Lie quickly exercised his strength, mobilizing his internal force in his right hand, wanting to take over this sharp sword qi, but it was all in vain, this sword qi was different from the afterimage, it was as difficult to resist as thunder

The moment Li Lie's right hand touched it, the qi wave was dispersed, he quickly withdrew his hand, but he couldn't dodge, the blood splashed on his whole hand, this is not over, the next moment, the sword qi hit his chest, leaving a shocking huge scar, there was blood overflowing from the place where the chest hurt and cracked, Li Lie's eyes tightened, and he couldn't stop a mouthful of blood from spurting out, he half-knelt on the ground and gasped, this blow made Li Lie, whose internal strength was comparable to that of nearly eight layers of cultivation, suffer serious internal injuries
