Lingxu, Sword Coffin, Blind Swordsman

In that instant, Jiang Yuntao's forehead was covered in cold sweat as he desperately tried to block the endless sword light.

Moreover, he felt an unprecedented restraining power within the opponent's immortal energy.

His own immortal energy was completely suppressed by the other party, giving him a sense of powerlessness like punching cotton.

The lightning spread into his immortal energy, and he even felt his whole body paralyzed and stiff.

The moment the sword light converged, Li Guanqi, stepping on the power of the azure river, instantly appeared a mere ten feet away from Jiang Yuntao!!

Li Guanqi's eyes were sharp and his expression was calm.

The four-foot Red Lotus trembled slightly, and the space around the blade was completely torn apart.

Terrifying immortal energy accumulated within the long sword, and Li Guanqi resembled a sharp sword that had been drawn from its sheath.

This pressure even made him feel a threat of death.

Starting with the sword-drawing stance, Li Guanqi lowered his body but did not actually attack.

When the sky full of sword light dissipated, Jiang Yuntao had dense, bloody wounds all over his body.

His black robe had been torn into strips, and his hair was disheveled, making him look quite wretched.

The two stood facing each other with their swords, and Jiang Yuntao said with a wry smile.

"I lost..."

"If the final strike had landed, I would have died."

Li Guanqi sheathed his sword and stood up, cupping his fist in salute.

"Thank you for your mercy, Senior Brother Jiang."

"I can sense that Senior Brother should have had many other tricks up his sleeve."

This was the truth. During the fight, Li Guanqi had sensed a vast and boundless aura like the ocean for a moment.

But that aura came and went quickly, and Jiang Yuntao had not used his full strength!

The young man sheathed his sword and stood up, giving a wry smile.

"It was just a friendly spar, no need to use full strength."

"Besides... weren't you holding back too?"

Li Guanqi simply smiled upon hearing this, and his aura gradually subsided, returning to his indifferent appearance.

Everyone was amazed by this scene.

They knew that Li Guanqi's final sword had been terrifyingly powerful, and if it had really been unleashed...

Could Jiang Yuntao have blocked it if he had used his full strength?

Ge Nie's eyes showed admiration as he murmured to himself.

"Our little junior brother is really strong!"

Zheng Qian breathed a sigh of relief. The pace of the battle had been so intense that even those watching felt breathless.

The battle ended quickly, but at this moment, Senior Sister Leng Yan, who had been silent all along, suddenly looked at Li Guanqi and said.

"You're left-handed!"

Li Guanqi frowned slightly, not hiding it.

"How did Senior Sister see that?"

Leng Yan, with her red makeup, revealed a slight smile on her thin lips, and a hint of triumph appeared on her beautiful and aloof face.

"When you were condensing the immortal energy spirit sword in your left hand, the feeling of holding the sword in your left hand."

"That incomparably powerful confidence, and the unparalleled aura."

Even Jiang Yuntao, who was fighting him, hadn't noticed this!

Li Guanqi couldn't help but think highly of the woman's insight.

Moreover, even though he had shown nearly 80% of his strength, there was still confidence in her eyes.

This also meant that Leng Yan was confident in facing the him from just now.

"These people... none of them are simple!"

Jiang Yuntao changed into a new robe and swallowed a pill, quickly recovering from his injuries.

But he still frowned slightly, his mouth twitched, and he couldn't help but whisper.

"Your immortal energy is really troublesome..."

As soon as he finished speaking, Jiang Yuntao flicked his finger, and a wisp of purple lightning flame shot out from his fingertip!

Bang!!

A deep pit was blasted into the ground, and Li Guanqi's expression turned serious.

"So powerful! To be able to suppress and force the remaining power out of his body so quickly!!"

Li Guanqi restrained his inner contempt.

Perhaps in a real life-or-death battle, the odds of victory between him and Jiang Yuntao would only be fifty-fifty.

Of course, Li Guanqi was referring to his own strength.

The Rakshasa Ghost Mask and Blood Nether Sword, Lin Jinting had returned them to him when Chen Heng called him away in the hall.

That's why he said those words when Ge Nie asked.

Ge Nie's eyes flashed with brilliance, and the way the others looked at Li Guanqi changed again and again.

But at this time, everyone also recognized Li Guanqi's cultivation strength.

Chen Heng came to Li Guanqi's side and couldn't help but say.

"Little junior brother's strength is really... enviable."

Li Guanqi looked at the fingernail of Chen Heng's right index finger and said softly with a smile.

"Senior Brother likes to play chess?"

Seeing Li Guanqi's gaze, Chen Heng looked at the fingernail of his index finger that had been worn flat and smiled.

"Little junior brother also knows about this?"

"Come, come, let's play a game!"

Ge Nie couldn't help but laugh when he heard this: "Alright, Ah Heng, there will be plenty of time later, let's go out first."

"Little Tao, can you send us out?"

Tao Manman nodded with a smile, formed hand seals, and then a red light enveloped everyone.

Buzz!!

Everyone returned to the room, and the way they looked at Li Guanqi was different from before.

Leng Yan took the lead and said.

"Now that everyone has recognized Junior Brother Li's strength, let's talk about this mission."

As she spoke, the woman took out a very ornate jade slip and placed it on the table.

This jade slip contained many restrictions, and only Leng Yan's aura could open it!

In other words, Leng Yan had taken on this mission.

Ge Nie's expression was solemn as he and Leng Yan and the others released their power to form a barrier to envelop the room.

Li Guanqi also felt that the atmosphere was a bit heavy.

Ge Nie's face was solemn, and he said in a deep voice.

"This mission has been taken on for more than half a year, and it is now approaching the deadline."

"For thousands of years, the missions in the Heavenly Pillar Peak's Mission Pavilion of the Great Xia Sword Sect have rarely failed."

"Almost all the missions taken on have been completed successfully. If they are not completed... other fellow disciples will take them on and continue to execute them!"

Chen Manyu couldn't help but sigh when she heard this, and murmured softly.

"Yes..."

"In the past, one mission resulted in the loss of seven fellow disciples, and it was still completed."

Leng Yan said softly: "This mission is of great importance. Peak Lord Li even considered whether to withdraw the mission and have elders and peak lords execute it."

"But the person who issued the mission didn't want to publicize it and refused the involvement of Golden Immortal realm cultivators."

"So... this mission is very difficult!"

Bai Xiuxue asked curiously.

"We still don't know what the specific mission is, why don't you tell us first."

"Then we can make plans."

Leng Yan nodded slightly, then took a deep breath and sent in a wisp of golden immortal energy.

Immediately afterwards, the mission content was presented in front of everyone.

Li Guanqi gasped when he saw this!!

Hiss!!

Not only him, but even Zheng Qian and Jiang Yuntao and the others were also like this.

Tang Lian, who had been folding her arms, put down her arms, and her pupils trembled slightly.

Bai Xiuxue's face turned pale.

Everyone had different expressions, but without exception, everyone was very shocked by the content of this mission!

Li Guanqi gasped and murmured softly.

"Escort a hundred ghosts carrying a coffin back to the Yellow Springs!!"

Just a short sentence made Li Guanqi's heart hang in the air.
