Lingxu, Sword Coffin, Blind Swordsman

Within the firelight enveloped by thunder and flames in mid-air,

A disheveled figure slowly emerged!

Zhao He's half-shoulder was a bloody mess, the wound was charred black.

Near his neck, a sharp fragment the size of a palm was deeply embedded.

His body was covered in charred wounds, deep enough to see bone.

Tiny arcs of lightning danced incessantly around the wounds.

Zhao He's face was covered in blood, his expression extremely grim.

As the leader here, when had he ever suffered such humiliation!!

A lowly ascender had actually wounded him to this extent.

However, when Zhao He looked at the distant firelight, his eyes gradually revealed a strong hint of greed.

Li Guanqi's sword, and the Stone Kirin's original bloodline,

Were both rare treasures in the entire Immortal Realm.

He didn't understand why Li Guanqi's sword had undergone such an incredible transformation.

But the sharpness and agility of that sword indicated that it was no ordinary weapon.

It could clash with his own Immortal artifact sword without shattering, so its grade was not low!

Severely injured, Zhao He took out a jade bottle, poured out a round pill the size of a fingernail, and swallowed it.

In an instant, Zhao He's injuries recovered at a speed visible to the naked eye.

Not only that, but the Immortal Essence he had consumed was also rapidly recovering.

Zhao He sneered, raised his hand and crushed a jade slip, and said in a chilling voice.

"Activate the formation!"

Boom!!!

A muffled rumble sounded, the earth trembled, and the entire Ascension Plaza rumbled and shook slightly.

Immediately afterward, Immortal spiritual energy surged from the ground, and light flickered.

A massive and heavy array screen suddenly rose!

Within the golden array screen, profound and complex array patterns surged.

Stone Kirin crashed into the array screen unexpectedly!

But the array screen remained motionless, not even a ripple appeared.

Zhao He licked the blood from the corner of his mouth, took the jade pendant from his waist with a grimace, and shook it in his hand.

"You lowly fellows..."

"Without the identity jade pendant I grant you, you won't be able to leave here."

"You don't think you can escape, do you?"

"Don't worry, I will brand you with slave seals and sell you for a good price!!"

"After all, slaves who mine are very valuable now."

Stone Kirin transformed into human form, his forehead was cut and bleeding.

He turned to look at Li Guanqi, then reached out and touched the thickness of the barrier.

Biting his teeth, he looked at Li Guanqi and said in a deep voice.

"Do you trust me?"

Li Guanqi held his sword in one hand, his eyes warily looking at Zhao He, without turning his head.

"Stop with the nonsense, in this situation, whether we trust each other or not, we have to fight hard or die."

A glint flashed in Stone Kirin's eyes, and he whispered.

"Give me the time it takes for an incense stick to burn, and I can break through here!"

Li Guanqi frowned slightly.

"You're not trying to trick me, are you?"

"You felt the Immortal Realm's array screen just now, how easy is it to break through..."

Stone Kirin hesitated for a moment and whispered.

"Our Fire Kirin clan's racial talent, a desperate attempt, might give us a chance of survival."

Li Guanqi glanced at Stone Kirin deeply upon hearing this.

"I hope you're not harboring any ulterior motives, otherwise... even if I die, I will kill you first."

The two stood back to back, the difference in size was striking.

Stone Kirin grinned and said softly.

"Li Congxin, from this moment on, I, Stone Kirin, consider you a friend!"

Li Guanqi curled his lips and murmured.

"Enough nonsense, let's fight for our lives!"

Boom!!!

The two stood back to back, one red and one purple, two beams of light soared into the sky!!!

Li Guanqi felt a surge of heat on his back.

Stone Kirin slammed his hands on the array screen, and the heavy array screen rippled.

Li Guanqi's mouth was dry, his blood surged like boiling water, his pores stood on end, and his fighting spirit soared!!

Zhao He narrowed his eyes upon seeing this, and a bad premonition arose in his heart.

He raised his hand slightly, his eyes flashing with viciousness, and he whispered.

"Attack! Kill them both!!!"

As soon as he finished speaking, nearly a hundred ascender realm cultivators attacked together!!

Streams of light rose from the ground, Zhao He sneered as he looked at Li Guanqi, his face full of disdain.

Stone Kirin was shocked when he saw this.

However, in the next moment...

Two towering lightning walls suddenly appeared!!

The lightning barriers, like moats, condensed immense power.

They actually enveloped Stone Kirin, while Li Guanqi stood behind him, facing everyone alone.

Barriers condensed behind Stone Kirin.

The burly Stone Kirin looked in disbelief at the thin man outside the sealed barrier.

Li Guanqi, covered in scales, slowly turned his head at this moment.

"The time it takes for an incense stick to burn."

Boom!!!!

Lightning erupted around Li Guanqi, and he transformed into a blur, instantly charging out!!!

Stone Kirin was shaken by this scene.

He felt an inexplicable sense of security in his heart.

It was as if the time it takes for an incense stick to burn that came out of his mouth would definitely buy him that much time.

Stone Kirin murmured.

"Don't worry, leave it to me!!"

Boom!!!!

A fist-sized ball of fire burned fiercely in Stone Kirin's chest.

That was his Kirin Inner Core!!

Mysterious fiery red patterns moved under his skin.

Stone Kirin's hands slowly inserted into the array screen.

Li Guanqi was simultaneously facing the siege of several cultivators of the same realm!!

In an instant, the lightning walls trembled, and the light of swords and blades crisscrossed.

Li Guanqi moved like a swimming dragon, his attacks were extremely ruthless.

The violent thunder and fire erupted, coupled with the blessing of his cultivation technique, the power that Li Guanqi could unleash was not on the same level as these ascender realm cultivators.

Moreover, Zhao He, who was still healing in the distance, also noticed something.

That was, Li Guanqi's power was gradually becoming stronger!

And this change was visible to the naked eye...

Zhao He's eyes flickered, and he muttered to himself.

"What a terrifying talent."

"Ordinary ascending cultivators generally only have the strength of the Mahayana realm."

"These two fellows ascended in the ascender realm, not to mention, that Li Congxin is actually a Human Spirit Immortal."

"Others can only exert up to 50% of their strength when they first come up, and it takes at least half a year to adapt."

"This Li Congxin was able to exert nearly 90% of his strength in just a short quarter of an hour!!"

Suddenly, Zhao He seemed to have thought of something, and his brows furrowed.

"When that guy saw me, there was no fear or dread in his eyes."

"Could it be that he had seen Immortals in the Spirit Realm?"

The truth was just as he had expected.

Li Guanqi had not only seen Immortals, but also killed them!!

Clang clang clang!! Pfft!!

Swish swish!

"Ah!!!! My hand!!"

Pfft!!

"Uh... cough cough..."

In just a few breaths, three ascender realm cultivators were killed by Li Guanqi!!!

Suddenly!

Several cultivators burst out from the side, their weapons pointing directly at Stone Kirin.

Swish!!!

Lightning flashed under Li Guanqi's feet, and Crimson Lotus slashed out in succession, blasting the few people away.

But Li Guanqi was also cut by a sword.

Fortunately, this sword only shattered some scales, and the blood quickly recovered.

Li Guanqi's eyes swept around sharply, and he murmured.

"It's not yet the time it takes for an incense stick to burn, you... have to kill me first to pass."

Stone Kirin trembled, unconsciously speeding up his hands.

At this time, Stone Kirin's palms had been inserted into the array screen.

The array screen flowed slowly downward like melting lava.

Stone Kirin also knew that the longer it dragged on, the more dangerous Li Guanqi would be!
