Shi Jian watched this scene quietly. It was just a small demon in the Foundation Establishment Stage. His disciple could easily kill it with just a swing of the sword.

This is not surprising, but once this sword is out, it will inevitably alert the fish demon in the half-step Nascent Soul realm and make it aware of it.

Obviously, Li Yingqi also knew that a quick victory was needed.

Without any hesitation, without sheathing the sword, his spiritual sense immediately locked onto another fish monster in the Foundation Establishment stage.

With a whoosh, the flying sword sank into the lake again. In just a blink of an eye, a scarlet color slowly floated up from the bottom of the lake.

As a large golden fish emerged from the water, the two fish monsters in the Foundation Establishment stage that were doing evil in Longxu Lake were killed by Li Yingqi.

......................................................

In a cave deep at the bottom of the lake, a pair of eyes as big as a calf were now glowing blood red.

"Who the hell dares to cause trouble for me, the Koi Demon King!"

After taking a deep breath, the dozens of meters long body transformed into a human form, about middle-aged, covered with scales, holding a spear in his hand, with an extremely gloomy expression.

“But this person is a cultivator at the Golden Core level after all, and we don’t know what methods he has. If he can understand the situation and give up, then I can let her go…”

When faced with a life-and-death battle, no matter who you are, you will have your own hesitations and plans.

The Koi Demon King is no exception to this.

Now he is only a little bit away from achieving the realm of Demon Emperor. Although he is already infinitely close to that realm, facing a cultivator in the middle stage of Golden Core, if he is not careful, he will lose everything, lose all his cultivation, and end up dying.

Even though others had bullied him right at his doorstep, the Koi Demon King still remained cautious deep in his heart.

Li Yingqi had no idea about the Koi Demon King's thoughts. He originally thought that the commotion he had caused by killing the two fish demons at the Foundation Establishment stage was already quite large, and there was a high probability that he would be able to lure out the Demon King at the Half-Step Foundation Establishment stage.

Unexpectedly, after half an incense stick of time, the lake was still as calm as a well, without any trace of danger.

As the sun shines down slowly, the lake becomes sparkling blue. People who don’t know would think this is a Feng Shui treasure land.

Li Yingqi looked at his master with some confusion, while Shi Jian frowned slightly.

Naturally, Shi Jian noticed every move of the fish demon at the Half-Step Nascent Soul stage, and that was why he felt it was a little strange.

When did a Demon King who was about to step into the Nascent Soul Demon Emperor become so cowardly?
There's clearly no sign of my aura leaking out at all?
Shi Jian couldn't quite figure it out, but since he was already here, he couldn't return empty-handed. Besides, what would it matter even if the other party didn't take the initiative to come out?

From the moment the master and disciple arrived here, it was destined that the fish monster would become a dead soul under Li Yingqi's sword.

"Master, is there really a fish monster in Longxu Lake that you mentioned that is at the half-step Nascent Soul stage?

"My disciple made quite a commotion just now, but why didn't the fish demon react at all? Could it be that the master's spirit has secretly dealt with it and is using it to tease my disciple?"

Although Li Yingqi's tone was inquiring, her words were filled with one meaning, that is, she was not satisfied with the battle just now.

"Don't worry, don't worry. When have I ever lied to you?

Although I don’t know what has gone wrong with this fish monster, it can’t escape the Five Finger Mountain if it lurks at the bottom of the lake. Let me force it out!”

As soon as he finished speaking, Shi Jian gently pointed towards the bottom of the lake where the Koi Demon King was hiding.

With a flick of his finger, a streak of light flashed by, and in an instant, huge waves were set off, and the powerful impact went straight to the bottom of the lake. The Koi Demon King, who had planned to survive like this, was shocked by the sudden impact and felt extremely uncomfortable.

His whole body felt numb and his ears were buzzing. The Koi Demon King, who had originally planned to give up, could no longer endure it this time.

This is intolerable. In order to avoid being beaten and killed along the way, he has ended up in this situation, but he still cannot escape.

Apart from fighting to the death, the Koi Demon King really couldn't think of any other way out.

“Forget it, forget it. I have been in existence for a thousand years. During the past 1000 years of cultivation, when have I ever been bullied like this?

If I don’t show my power, I will be like a small fish that can be manipulated by anyone!
Look at my Dragon-Breaking Spear!"

The moment the words fell, a silver light exploded from the bottom of the lake, and the place where the light pointed happened to be where Li Yingqi was standing.

Even though Li Yingqi's reaction was quick, and the flying sword in his hand was ready to block the sudden flow of light without hesitation, when the two actually collided, Li Yingjie still felt an overwhelming pressure surging from his fingers to his limbs and then to his internal organs.

Under this strong impact, Li Yingqi's steps became weak and her face turned slightly pale. After holding on for a few seconds, her body suddenly retreated madly into the distance.

It was not until he retreated hundreds of meters that he finally stabilized his body.

Shi Jian on the side just watched without the slightest desire to take action. He even felt that the fish demon at the Half-Step Nascent Soul stage was about to rush out of the water. He smiled slightly, leaped directly into the void, sealed his breath, and began to watch the show.

Boom boom boom!

Bang bang bang!
As the Koi Demon King jumped out of the water, water splashed like sharp arrows and shot in all directions. The Koi Demon King finally saw what the human cultivator who killed his two younger brothers looked like.

Li Yingqi and the Koi Demon King looked at each other in such a dramatic way, and both the man and the demon saw the cold look in each other's eyes.

“I didn’t expect this person to be so young. He has been able to cultivate to the middle stage of the Golden Core at this age. His background must be extraordinary. However, since the cause and effect has been established today, it is impossible to hide. I can only kill him quickly and see if I can conceal my tracks. If not, I can only flee!”

The Koi Demon King's expression became solemn. Anyone who was involved in the cultivation world knew that it was impossible for such a young human cultivator, especially a casual cultivator, to cultivate to such a level. The Koi Demon King would never believe that the young woman opposite him did not have a huge sect to support her.

Li Yingqi also saw the other party's fear of him, as well as the sudden increase in murderous intent!
Li Yingqi didn't take these seriously. If the other party had already reached the level of Nascent Soul Demon Emperor, then she might not be able to solve the problem.

But now the other party is only a half-step Nascent Soul Demon Emperor. Although his cultivation has just reached the middle stage of the Golden Core, the magical powers and techniques he has practiced are definitely not something an ordinary Demon King can imagine.

Comparing the two, although Li Yingqi is not completely sure, he has a fighting heart!
The flames of war between the two quickly ignited. Li Yingqi didn't say a word. He tightly grasped the flying sword in his hand and silently recited the spell. The flying sword turned into more than a dozen swords, which pierced the void silently and whistled towards the Koi Demon King.

"I am really a little anxious. Do all disciples from big sects behave like this?

Do you really think I am made of clay? "

With a cold snort, the Koi Demon King also accepted all who came, and waved the spear in his hand like a silver snake, blocking all the flying swords one by one. The battle between the two soon became fierce. Although Li Yingqi was in the middle stage of the Golden Core, he was far superior to his peers in this realm, because his foundation was good enough and the amount of true energy in his body was terrifying.

The Koi Demon King is a powerful warrior who is at the half-step Nascent Soul stage. Although he does not master many magical skills, each of his moves carries tremendous demonic power, and every action is shocking!

The two were evenly matched, and Shi Jian in the clouds was also watching with great interest.

Although the people of Longxu Town did not know what was happening, they saw the two rays of light in the void constantly touching and separating, touching and separating again, making a sound like thunder, constantly exploding in this world. Anyone with a discerning eye knew that this was a fight scene.

Just as Shi Jian was watching the battle carefully, a graceful figure in a white dress quietly appeared in the void in the distance.

"Finally, we found where Fellow Daoist Shi Jian is!"

The person who came was none other than Gu Yue who had left Kunlun Mountain in search of Shi Jian.

Having searched all the way, Gu Yue naturally couldn't find a needle in a haystack. Although the Yuanshen ancestor in Kunlun Mountain couldn't act casually, it was very easy to find an extremely conspicuous person like Shi Jian in the territory of Dali.

Of course, Kunlun's ancestor could only give a rough range, but Shi Jian and his disciples were always moving, which meant that Gu Yue was unable to find Shi Jian and his disciples immediately.

The moment Gu Yue appeared, Shi Jian, who was watching the battle between his disciple and the fish monster, frowned instantly.

He flashed and came to Gu Yue's side.

His eyes were like bright pearls, staring at the lonely moon, with a strange glint in their eyes.

Gu Yue was also a little worried by Shi Jian's intense gaze. He had come to someone else's territory so carelessly. Although the two knew each other, this behavior was extremely impolite in the cultivation world.

It seems like a sneak attack.

"Daoist Gu Yue, I haven't seen you for more than ten years. You are still as handsome as ever. But I don't know how you found me today...

What is the purpose? Can you explain it directly?"

Shi Jian had given the other party enough face. If it were someone else, and they were investigating him so unscrupulously, Shi Jian would definitely teach them a lesson.

What's more, his disciple is now fighting with the fish monster. If any accident really happens and he is entangled by the newcomer, that would be really bad.

Therefore, Shi Jian did not have a good look towards Gu Yue.

"Forehead……

Fellow Daoist Shi Jian has misunderstood. It has indeed been more than ten years since we parted on Leisheng Island. I just didn't expect that Fellow Daoist Shi Jian has changed so much.

Now, Gu Yue should call Elder Shi! "

Gu Yue was sincere in what he said. Only a dozen years had passed, and he had already reached the middle stage of the Nascent Soul realm back then. Now, with the support of the sect, he had just entered the Yin God realm not long ago. But what about Shi Jian?

From the early stage of Nascent Soul, he is now almost reaching the threshold of Spirit Transformation Realm.

From being a casual cultivator in the beginning, to becoming a young elder in the Maoshan Patriarch Hall now, although he is an elder, no one is stupid. It is obvious that he is being trained as the future Yuanshen ancestor!
The gap between the two of them was getting bigger and bigger. When Gu Yue didn't see this feeling, he might have still held a glimmer of hope in his heart.

But when the two actually met, Gu Yue felt the huge gap between them.

A feeling of bitterness arises in my heart.

However, no matter how sad she was, Gu Yue never forgot the purpose and mission of her visit. She needed to bring Shi Jian and Shi Jian's apprentice Li Yingqi back to Kunlun Mountain.

After hearing Gu Yue's somewhat bitter words, Shi Jian's expression finally relaxed a little.

It seems that the other party's arrival is most likely because Kunlun wants to win him over, but now is not the time to discuss this topic, his disciple is still fighting with the fish monster. As a master, Shi Jian needs to escort Li Yingqi.

and so……

He can't be distracted!
"Well, I don't want to talk about what happened before and what will happen next. Fellow Daoist Gu Yue, I still need to keep an eye on my disciple.

If you have anything else to say, please talk to me later."

After saying that, Shi Jian no longer paid attention to Gu Yue, and flashed back to the cloud where he had just been.

His gaze once again focused on the void, on his disciple and the fish monster.

Seeing this situation, Gu Yue did not feel unhappy at all. At this moment, the situation had been reversed.

Not to mention that she came here just to ask for help, even if she didn't have that mission, facing a great cultivator who was about to reach the realm of transformation, she, Gu Yue, needed to maintain due respect.

Taking a deep breath, Gu Yue's gaze gradually extended in the direction where Shi Jian was looking.

Soon they discovered that Li Yingqi was fighting with the Koi Demon King who was half a step into the Nascent Soul stage.

It would have been fine if he hadn't looked at it, but once he did, Gu Yue felt like he was struck by lightning again.

“This, this, this!

Is that girl Shi Jian’s disciple?
Judging from his bone age, he is no more than 20 years old, probably no more than 30!

But his cultivation level... is at the middle stage of the Golden Core Realm. Such a strong aura is definitely not enhanced by external objects. To be able to reach this level of cultivation at such an age through simple practice, what a monster!
Maoshan is so lucky..."

At this moment, Gu Yue couldn't help but smile bitterly, the bitterness on the corners of his mouth could no longer be concealed. If ever their Kunlun could have such luck and such a good disciple, Gu Yue would rather let the other party become the head of Kunlun, at any cost.

Li Yingqi, who was in the middle of a fierce fight, was unaware of these situations. It was his first time fighting against the Demon King who was at the Half-Step Nascent Soul stage, and the pressure on Li Yingqi could be imagined.

The tremendous demonic power transmitted between each move made Li Yingqi feel pain in the palm of his hand and his entire shoulder felt sore and weak.

But the more times like this happen, the more she cannot relax and can only bear it!
