Chapter 192: Mysteries
"Why, why do you kid look like this? Was it a hit? Li Ming saw that his apprentice looked like he was not giving up, so he asked.
"Master, you're really... It's so powerful! I can't believe that you still have the reputation of a fierce swordsman back then, which is really impressive! Even with Tian Jihong's temperament that far surpasses that of children of the same generation, it is inevitable that there will be a look of admiration in his eyes at this time, and it seems that he really found the right person when he chose Li Ming as his master.
"Just now, Bai Yanfeng boasted that it was difficult to find an opponent in the same realm, but after a few rounds, he was defeated in your hands and abandoned his armor and fled, it seems that you are really unmatched in the same level of combat power!"
Li Ming couldn't help but laugh when he heard this: "Invincible at the same level? You kid is too exalted of me, thinking that the teacher's ability is still far behind! ”
"What? Even with your strength, you don't dare to say that it is difficult to find defeat in the Bone Forging Realm? Tian Jihong couldn't help but be a little stunned, in his opinion, with a person like Li Ming who had fallen from the spiritual vein realm, he was even known as an opponent who had entered the heavenly realm, and in terms of strength, he was afraid that even the ghost Qianying he had encountered before would not dare to say that he could suppress him. With this kind of strength, even if you meet several or even a dozen people of the same rank, you can definitely solve the battle within ten rounds.
"That's right, I thought that the master's ability was just the qualification to fight with ordinary Spirit Vein Realm cultivators, but if I met an opponent of a higher level, I am afraid that I would only have to turn around and flee for my life." Li Ming explained calmly, "Before, the master said that letting him send a master to the Heavenly Realm was just a bluff to scare him, and if such an existence was to use my current strength in the Bone Forging Realm, it would be impossible to contend with it. ”
"And if the teacher really has the invincible strength of the same level, it is impossible for the so-called Bai Yanfeng to escape from my hands today. So don't be complacent, don't look at the solid foundation of your cultivation now, but with your ability, it's still far from walking sideways in the Kaiyuan realm. ”
Li Ming had intended to knock on his beloved disciple, Tianjihong's cultivation was only a few days, in Li Ming's opinion, although he had encountered various crises along the way, the former with the deepening of his luck was still considered smooth, and he did not have a clear positioning of his strength. If he doesn't mention a few words now, Tian Jihong is likely to suffer a big loss due to his conceit in his subsequent practice.
"Today, you can get lucky enough to defeat the Abyss Jiao at the peak of the Yi Muscle Realm, and you do have the capital to brag about, and it also proves that your cultivation talent is extraordinary. But you must know that for a peerless genius who can truly be called an invincible opponent of the same level, in the early realm, it is as simple as eating and drinking water to win against ordinary monks across two major realms. Li Ming directly poured a basin of cold water on Tianjihong's head, causing the latter to slowly calm down.
At this time, Tian Jihong couldn't help but be stunned by such a guy whose combat power far exceeded his actual cultivation, he had a clear understanding of the strength of the Dark Abyss Jiao just now, if he didn't rely on the power of the Ascending Dragon Sword in his hand, and he had all the magic weapons at hand, if he wanted to take down such an existence with only his cultivation when he first entered the Kaiyuan Realm, it would be impossible at all. However, he did not feel discouraged because he had an excellent heart, and now that he had only been practicing for a few days, how could he dare to expect that he would be invincible in the same rank? In the future, there is still time to continue to hone yourself and improve your strength.
Seeing the thoughtful and silent appearance of the disciples, Li Ming was also worried about undermining Tianjihong's enthusiasm too much, so he slowed down and comforted: "But don't be discouraged, the existence of those demons as teachers is only heard of and not seen with their own eyes, presumably they all have their own secrets and opportunities." Now that you kid is just entering the Kaiyuan Realm, and you haven't even officially started learning martial arts, it is extremely difficult to kill a spirit beast close to the Bone Forging Realm under such circumstances. When I go back to be a teacher today, I will first pass on a set of sword skills and martial arts to you, and the master can't guarantee anything else, before the Bone Forging Realm, I will point my fingers at your practice, and then I will definitely not be inferior to those so-called geniuses of Tianzhong. ”
Tian Jihong was also overjoyed when he heard this, he imitated the flame breaking slash performed by the mountain bandit before today, but it was only like a god, and he was able to cause damage to the enemy by relying entirely on the blessing of his own spiritual power, and he was unable to exert the full power of his martial arts at all. Now that the master has opened his mouth to officially pass on his martial arts, how can Tian Jihong not be overjoyed.
However, for the battle just now, Tian Jihong still had a lot of confusion in his heart and wanted to ask for advice, so he asked: "Master, since you said that your strength is far from being invincible at the same level, why can you easily defeat the guy from the ancient family?" The apprentice had also fought with this guy before, and he couldn't even break through his defenses, obviously this Bai Yanfeng's self-boasting strength was not all false, and his comprehension of martial arts was even better, why couldn't he compete with Master at all when he fought against you, Master? ”
"You want to ask me why I only relied on one move [Earth Shaking Split] at the beginning to use the Holy Light Arrow that Bai Yanfeng had been building up for a long time, right?" Li Ming understood the apprentice's doubts, but he didn't give a clear answer, "I'm afraid it's too early for you to explain this directly, and it is related to the knack of bone forging realm cultivation." What I can tell you now is that although the master is not as good as that Bai Yanfeng in terms of comprehension of martial arts, and his soul power does not dare to say that he can suppress him, but in terms of meridian cultivation, he is far superior to most of the monks at the level of the Bone Forging Realm, so that he can be unscathed under the holy light arrow that Bai Yanfeng casts. ”
Tian Jihong also nodded, he knew that the master's vague words were not intended to conceal the truth, in addition to the cultivation methods that he had not yet come into contact with at this level, there must be other unspeakable secrets. Including Bai Yanfeng's casual remarks about the [domain] that Li Ming mastered, as well as Li Ming's name as a swordsman, and the sword in his hand, which can be called a divine soldier, the latter did not give a clear explanation. This can't help but make Tian Jihong a little more curious about the identity of the master in the past, but since the other party has deliberately avoided this topic, he has to stop asking no more, Tian Jihong is thinking in his heart that when he returns to Dongsheng Town in a while, he will entrust Wang Qing to collect some news about the master's past.
"By the way, Master, did you get anything out of going to Nadongyun Mountain today to search for the whereabouts of that gang of bandits, and why did you suddenly appear here?" Tian Jihong suddenly recalled Master's instructions when he was leaving, it stands to reason that going to the deep mountains to search for the whereabouts of human beings, even with Master's strength in forging bones, it will inevitably take a lot of time, and it is not surprising that he could not move for an hour or two before.
"Don't mention it, I'm angry when I talk about those guys." Li Ming couldn't help but feel a little angry when he mentioned the sad thing, "When I visited the lair of the previous group again today, the other party estimated that he had gone back in advance to clean up all the traces there, and he couldn't find any clues at all." ”
"According to the trap I accidentally fell into that group last time, what the old seven said before, the eldest of them really didn't know what shit luck he had, and he really touched the level of the Bone Forging Realm in the past few days and broke through, and now it is very likely that he is hiding in the depths of the mountains and forests to consolidate his cultivation, and he will only show up to trouble me again after his breath is stable." Li Ming said.
"No, Master, with your strength, even if the so-called eldest brother of that group really breaks through to the Bone Forging Realm, he should be far from your opponent." Having seen the terrifying strength of the master's real attack, Tian Jihong didn't believe that a mere mountain bandit who had just set foot in the Bone Forging Realm would be able to compete with Li Ming.
"Alas, as you said, if it's a head-to-head fight, don't say that there are only three or two people in their group who know some fists and kicks, even if the group is a bone forging realm cultivator, I won't be afraid of him." Li Ming couldn't help but sigh, "It's just that you don't know the danger of Dongyun Mountain, as I said before, that group of people got a magic circle that relied on the remains of corpses out of nowhere, and its power under the full urging should not be underestimated, I was almost injured by this thing when I first stepped into the trap." ”
"As for why today's teacher will rush back early, it is also because of coincidence. At the foot of the Dongyun Mountain in the north, the master found signs of the activity of the spirit beast, which looked very similar to the Abyss Jiao that your kid said earlier, and it seemed that there were also humans who had stepped on that place, and in addition to the footprints, there was still a remnant of the breath of the magic circle around. Li Ming said, "So I was worried about the safety of the people in the village, so I followed the footprints and the traces of the dark abyss Jiao all the way to the lair by the sea, and then rushed here." ”
"At the foot of the mountain to the north, the breath of the remnants of the circle... It seems that this Bai Yanfeng really didn't deceive people, before him, this Abyss Jiao must have been tamed and manipulated by others. Tian Jihong's heart froze, and he immediately recalled the trace that disappeared at the door of his house before, according to what Li Ming said, this shadow obviously would not have come from afar.
"Master, did you notice that there were any other people hiding around you before you came here?" Tian Jihong asked eagerly, and then told what happened to him when he first arrived home.
"Are you saying that there was someone else who tamed this abyss Jiao before? This... As a teacher, I didn't perceive any other people, I'm afraid it's not your delusion, right? Li Ming shook his head slowly, and then comforted, "Don't worry, even if someone is really strong enough to escape the perception of being a teacher, that kind of existence is far beyond what you and I can contend with." Since the other party's reluctance to show up has not harmed you, it will not help you to continue to worry about such an existence, it is better to concentrate on your cultivation, if the other party wants to see you, it will inevitably appear again. ”
"The day after tomorrow is the long-famous Tianbao Pavilion auction, and you also mentioned to Master Wei before that you want to participate together." Li Ming changed his words and said, "Since that gang of bandits is hiding for a while and is unwilling to show up, I estimate that if they continue to look for it like this, it will be difficult to make progress for a while, and tomorrow I will go to Dongyun Mountain to run again, and go back to pass on a set of sword skills and martial arts to you, and you can practice at home with peace of mind." If there is no result, the day after tomorrow will accompany you to Dongsheng Town to see this grand event. ”
