Emperor Qiankun

Chapter 258 Heaven's Jealousy Verifies Strength

Just in time!

Li Daoyi's voice came from behind: "Master, are you out of retreat?"

Li Qingyuan turned to look at him and asked with a smile:

"Daoyi, have you been slacking off lately? Have you been practicing swordplay diligently?"

Li Daoyi puffed out his chest and replied seriously, "Master, I dare not slack off in the slightest."

"During the twenty days or so you've been in seclusion, I've practiced swordplay ten thousand times every day. Today, I've completed my ten thousand swordplay sessions."

"Oh?"

Li Qingyuan looked up at the sky. It was only noon, and Li Daoyi had already completed the practice of ten thousand swords. His progress was indeed great.

Looking at his cultivation, he has already reached the middle stage of the first level of Tongwu Realm, and it is obvious that he has never slacked off.

He immediately nodded with satisfaction and said:

"Daoyi, remember to combine work and rest. Cultivation is not a one-day job!"

Li Daoyi nodded hurriedly, then turned around and left briskly.

......

"Third brother, why did you make yourself look like this when you were fine? It looks weird."

Chen Lingyu looked at Li Qingyuan's disguised appearance and couldn't help but joke.

"Brother, this is not what I want to do. I am too embarrassed to show my true self to others."

Li Qingyuan explained with a wry smile.

"What's the matter?"

Chen Lingyu suddenly became interested, his eyes shining, and urged, "Change back and let me take a look."

Li Qingyuan glanced around and saw that there was no one around, so he immediately removed the disguise and restored his original appearance.

In an instant, his originally handsome face turned pitch black, and his hair was blown off by lightning, revealing a shiny bald head.

Immediately, Chen Lingyu's eyes widened, his face filled with astonishment, and he blurted out:

"Oh my god, you big bald guy...what on earth have you been through to get yourself into this state?"

"Oh... don't mention it. It's just because I'm so good-looking that even God is jealous and I got struck by lightning."

Li Qingyuan said this to himself with a relaxed tone.

"Haha...you really are that one!"

Chen Lingyu smiled and gave a thumbs up, then said,

"Then Third Brother, I'm leaving first. I've made plans to drink with someone. Do you want to come?"

Li Qingyuan shook his head and declined politely:

"Just enjoy yourself. I have some trivial matters to take care of."

"alright."

Chen Lingyu responded and patted Li Qingyuan on the shoulder.

Then, he took big strides and walked out of the yard in a leisurely manner.

Li Qingyuan looked at his receding figure and whispered to himself:

"I hope everything goes well and develops in a good direction."

......

In the afternoon, the warm sunlight shines on every corner of the Tianjian Sect.

Li Qingyuan transformed into a handsome man with a jade face again and walked towards the yard where Ren Yuxuan was.

Now, his cultivation has broken through to the early stage of the first level of the Earthly Demon Realm, and his physical strength has made a qualitative leap.

He vaguely felt that with just his physical body, he was enough to fight against cultivators at the fourth or fifth level of the Earthly Demon Realm.

Therefore, he urgently needed a real battle to verify his strength.

After arriving at the yard, Li Qingyuan explained his purpose to Ren Yuxuan.

Ren Yuxuan was no longer surprised by his ability to disguise himself.

However, she was a little surprised. How long had it been since he had made breakthroughs in so many realms?

But Li Qingyuan downplayed it and said that this was just the result of his long-term accumulation and success.

Ren Yuxuan was skeptical about this statement, but she didn't pay much attention to it.

After all, geniuses are always different from ordinary people.

......

The two came to the open space in the yard and started a special competition.

At first, Li Qingyuan chose to defend and let Ren Yuxuan attack.

Ren Yuxuan suppressed her realm to the fifth level of the Earthly Demon Realm, and then suddenly attacked with a sword...

With one blow, Li Qingyuan retreated a foot, but his body was not seriously injured, only some scratches on his skin.

"Senior Sister Ren, just attack with the cultivation level of the seventh level of the Earthly Demon Realm." Li Qingyuan suggested.

Ren Yuxuan did not delay either. The aura around her suddenly changed, and her cultivation level of the seventh level of the Earthly Demon Realm burst out instantly.

She struck the sword with all her strength again, and this time, blood finally seeped out of Li Qingyuan's body.

Li Qingyuan thought to himself: It seems that his physical strength is now equivalent to the seventh or eighth level of the Earthly Demon Realm.

He had a clear idea in his mind that even without activating the space-time shield, his physical strength was far beyond that of an ordinary person.

Then, he quickly swallowed a healing pill to restore his damaged body.

Ren Yuxuan on the opposite side was even more surprised. How could Junior Brother Li's body be so strong?!

She attacked with all her strength from the late seventh level of the Earthly Demon Realm, but she only caused cracks in his body, not even a serious injury.

I haven't heard that he is a physical cultivator!

......

After a moment, Li Qingyuan recovered as before and said loudly:

"Senior Sister Ren, next, you defend yourself. I want to test the strength of my attack."

"Okay." Ren Yuxuan responded readily.

In a flash, she used her profound energy to quickly condense into a solid shield wall, which was placed in front of her.

Seeing this, Li Qingyuan no longer hesitated. He held the Longyuan Sword in his hand and all the mysterious power in his body condensed instantly.

He took the meaning of wind and killing as his guide, and swung his sword. There seemed to be a dragon's roar, the sword energy was like a rainbow, and the sword light was dazzling.

With this sword, he held nothing back except for the power of time and space as his trump card.

"boom......"

There was a loud explosion, and dust was raised all over the sky. The violent shock wave shook the air, making a hissing sound.

The aftermath of the sword energy caused the old locust tree in the yard to tremble violently, and its branches and leaves fell down.

The smoke and dust gradually dissipated. Li Qingyuan looked at Ren Yuxuan and asked, "Senior Sister Ren, how is it?"

"Hmm... Junior Brother Li, the power of your sword is comparable to that of the late eighth level of the Earthly Demon Realm."

Ren Yuxuan commented, then added, "Junior Brother Li, haven't you used your full strength yet?"

In her impression, Li Qingyuan's strength was far more than that, and this sword was obviously reserved.

In response, Li Qingyuan smiled and did not answer.

After making a rough assessment of his own strength, he said goodbye to Ren Yuxuan.

Afterwards, he called Lao Huangniu and the two of them quietly left the Tianjian Sect.

He didn't say hello to anyone, because this trip would definitely be dangerous.

He wanted to go look for Mr. Hua. He had a strong premonition that something might have really happened to Mr. Hua.

However, before that, he had to go to Yunshui City first.

Yue Qinghuan once said: I will be back in two or three days.

But it has been nearly a month and there is still no news. Something must have happened and he must find out first.
