"This female Taoist priest is quite capable. She has managed to hold on until now without losing the upper hand...

But we can’t delay any longer. This kind of person is likely to be protected by a powerful sect leader. We should fight quickly and kill him, and then I will start to escape.”

With this thought in mind, the Koi Demon King increased the strength in his hands. Now that the matter has developed to this point, he cannot afford to hesitate at all.

As the Koi Demon King exerted his full strength, Li Yingqi's pressure reached a new height in an instant. All of his internal organs felt the tremendous impact at this moment. However, even though Li Yingqi felt extremely sore all over, he still did not show any fear.

Holding the flying sword tightly, countless sword qi flew across the sky, and she fought extremely hard.

Among the clouds.

Seeing Li Yingqi so fearless, Gu Yue's heart was shocked, but also quietly changing.

“Fellow Daoist Shi Jian has indeed accepted a good disciple. This girl is not only extremely talented, but her character is also beyond the reach of ordinary people.

Like master, like disciple. Maoshan is really lucky..."

Listening to Gu Yue's words, Shi Jian smiled faintly. The talent displayed by Li Yingqi was now very scary, at least in Gu Yue's eyes.

But these are not Li Yingqi's biggest secrets. If Gu Yue knew that Li Yingqi was the reincarnation of a powerful being who was once above the Yuanshen realm, and that there was a magic weapon above the ninth grade in his sea of ​​consciousness, he would probably be even more shocked.

Of course, Shi Jian would never tell these secrets.

Even a powerful being at the Yuanshen realm would have no way of detecting it, unless Li Yingqi took out the Tianji Sword himself.

"Fellow Daoist Gu Yue, why do you have to belittle yourself?
It has been more than ten years since we last met. Xuantian Zong, the disciple of Taoist Fellow Gu Yue, should be quite handsome now.

This girl Yingqi and I are destined to be together. It’s just a coincidence.”

Shi Jian did not continue talking after he finished speaking, and began to focus on the fight between Li Yingqi and the Koi Demon King. Seeing this, even though Gu Yue wanted to say more, she had to give up. After all, it was a bit impolite to continue the discussion at this time, and her relationship with Shi Jian had not yet reached the point where she could do whatever she wanted.

In the void, as Li Yingqi stabbed out with sword after sword, the true energy in his dantian had been exhausted, his eyes became a little red, and bloodshot lines covered his pupils. The invisible murderous aura condensed into substance at this moment, and even the Koi Demon King felt a little frightened when he saw it.

If the other party's cultivation was not inferior to his own, he would probably have become a corpse by now...

Even so, the situation of the Koi Demon King is still not optimistic. If he was determined to kill with one blow at the beginning, then as the fight went on, he felt that he had no chance of doing so.

It is quite risky to kill the female Taoist in front of him, so the Koi Demon King wants to get away as soon as possible.

As the spear in the Koi Demon King's hand burst out with a shocking roar, Li Yingqi's entire body was smashed hundreds of meters away.

Seeing this, the Koi Demon King did not pursue the victory, but shot out in the opposite direction. At this moment, he just wanted to leave this place of trouble as soon as possible, just wanted to leave Longxu Lake and Longxu Town as soon as possible, and then find a safe place to quietly wait for his cultivation to break through.

It’s a pity that this idea seemed a little pale and powerless when it came to Li Yingqi.

Seeing that the opponent was about to run away, Li Yingqi thought that the Koi Demon King had consumed a lot of his own demonic power and could not hold on any longer, so he chose to escape after trying his best to attack. After having this idea, Li Yingqi's expression suddenly became happy.

"How can I let you leave like this today!"

"Sword Technique to Slay Demons and Kill Monsters, One Sword to Slay the Throat!"

As Li Yingqi shouted loudly, the flying sword in his hand began to tremble rapidly, and the last bit of true energy in his body surged out. As the sword fell, a silver light quickly swept away into the distance!

The Koi Demon King, who had already escaped quite a distance, was already beginning to get ecstatic, but soon the sharp sword energy behind him forced him to stop.

"You're not giving in, are you really going to fight to the death?

"Okay, very good, I will grant your wish today!"

Turning around, the entire body of the Koi Demon King suddenly turned into its original form. The dozens of meters long body appeared huge in the void, and the golden scales sparkled under the sunlight. With a sudden twitch of the tail, countless golden lights burst out. Those were the scales of the Koi Demon King, and also his most powerful weapon.

The fish scales are like sharp swords. They were originally the best defensive weapon of the Koi Demon King, but now they have become the most powerful killing weapon!
Fish scales flew over and collided with the silver-white sword energy. There was a loud bang between heaven and earth, and the sword energy collapsed instantly. Hundreds of fish scales were not affected at all and continued to fly towards Li Yingqi.

Seeing this, Li Yingqi's face turned pale. She thought that the fish monster chose to escape because it was afraid. She knew that a blow she had exhausted all her strength could hurt the opponent. Now it seems that there is still a big gap between the middle stage of the Golden Core and the half-step Nascent Soul.

However, if it were an ordinary person, he would probably have died here today, but behind Li Yingqi was the entire Maoshan Mountain. Fear flashed across his face, and soon Li Yingqi's face revealed an expression of loss.

She knew that her master would save her, and she also knew that the fish monster could not escape from the Five Finger Mountain!

Sure enough, when the fish scales flew, a dark green landscape painting slowly unfolded in front of Li Yingqi. Before the fish scales touched it, they were instantly absorbed into the painting by an invisible fairy light.

The next second, Shi Jian came in front of Li Yingqi.

With a faint smile, looking at his disciple who was already exhausted, Shi Jian touched Li Yingqi's head comfortingly.

"Yingqi, being able to fight this fish monster to this point with your cultivation at the middle stage of the Golden Core Realm has exceeded my expectations. I am proud of you, but I will take care of the rest."

As he spoke, Shi Jian's gaze turned from gentle at the beginning to cold, until Shi Jian turned to look at the Koi Demon King. The murderous look in his eyes made the Koi Demon King feel panic-stricken.

"Damn it!
This emperor knew that there was a guardian behind this person, but he didn't expect it to come so quickly. This aura...

It is definitely far beyond the Nascent Soul stage!"

For a moment, the Koi Demon King looked as pale as death. He knew that he would most likely die here, and the results of his thousand years of practice would be wiped out.

Taking a deep breath, the Koi Demon King looked at Shi Jian with a dull gaze, as if begging Shi Jian not to kill him.

But it's too late...

The overwhelming divine consciousness locked the Koi Demon King in the void in an instant. The pressure from the peak of the Nascent Soul stage made the Koi Demon King unable to move his entire body.

The white clouds in the sky and earth became turbulent at this moment. Countless white clouds faded away, and dark clouds began to climb up the sky. Along with the strong wind, a solemn and murderous atmosphere began to gather!
In the distant clouds, Gu Yue just stared at this scene blankly. Compared with the stunning display of Li Yingqi, what Shi Jian showed at this moment was earth-shattering.

"This guy's strength... no wonder he can become an elder in the Maoshan Patriarch Hall." Gu Yue muttered to himself, feeling a little unbelievable, but he still calmed down and wanted to see how much Shi Jian had grown now.

Bah!
A streak of purple lightning appeared in the clouds like a test, and it landed on the back of the Koi Demon King with a whoosh. With a series of crackling sounds, the scales on the Koi Demon King's back began to curl up, and a roar and wail were transmitted in the void.

In Longxu Town.

Countless people looked up at the void. Although their eyes were not very sharp, they could clearly see that the huge fish monster was being bombarded by the thunder. The people burst into tears and knelt on the ground. They kept praying with their palms together and kept shouting for the immortal to bless them.

Shi Jian's eyes flickered and he exhaled a breath of foul air. As he pinched his fingertips to make some hand gestures, a sense of oppression as if a storm was about to come quietly came over him.

"Leaving the Fire God Thunder, fall!"

As Shi Jian uttered a few words lightly, the originally dark clouds in the sky seemed to be ignited by flames. As a fire snake suddenly shot out, countless thunders were hidden in it.

The Koi Demon King was completely in despair. He no longer held on to any glimmer of hope. He raised his head under tremendous pressure, ready to welcome the sound of the bell of his death.

Rumble!
The moment the thunder fell, the head of the Koi Demon King was pierced by the thunder, and his soul instantly turned into nothingness at this moment, while his body was covered by the thunder and roasted by the high temperature. As the aroma of meat filled the void, Shi Jian waved his hand, and countless dark clouds faded away, and the sky became bright again.

As for the Koi Demon King, Shi Jian was too lazy to even obtain its demon pill. At his level, demon pills that were not at the Nascent Soul stage were of no significance at all. After doing all this, Shi Jian met the admiring eyes of his disciple Li Yingqi and suddenly grabbed the body of the Koi Demon King. A piece of delicious fish meat with a strong meaty aroma came in front of Li Yingqi.

"Yingqi, try it. This koi should taste good..."

With a faint smile, Shi Jian immediately dropped the entire body of the Koi Demon King towards Longxu Town.

As fish and meat fell from the sky, countless people went from being panic-stricken at first to scrambling to grab them. Their mentality also changed drastically. The once all-mighty Demon King had now fallen to such a fate.

Gu Yue, who witnessed the whole thing, had her eyes twitching wildly. She really didn't expect that Shi Jian could kill a fish monster at the Half-Step Nascent Soul stage so easily.

Even though she can do it now, she can't act out that kind of understatement.

It was as if they were not even on the same level, and I didn't take it seriously at all...

With this thought in mind, Gu Yue no longer felt confident about inviting Shi Jian to visit Kunlun.

The other party came from Maoshan and was an elder in the Patriarch's Hall. With the prestige and strength of Maoshan, he didn't need to pay any attention to Kunlun at all. The relationship between the two was not that close. Why would the other party follow him to Kunlun?

Gu Yue was a little at a loss for words about this. If he came here with 80% confidence at the beginning, now he didn't even have half the certainty.

Everything is over. After careful consideration, Gu Yue has made up his mind.

Whether it succeeds or not, you have to give it a try to know...

Taking a deep breath, Gu Yue stepped on the clouds and quietly came in front of Shi Jian and his disciple.

"Fellow Daoist Shi Jian... I am..."

Without waiting for Gu Yue to speak, Shi Jian's calm gaze fell on her.

"Fellow Daoist Gu Yue, feel free to say whatever you want to say, but whether our master and disciple can agree to it is another matter. Although Kunlun's power is huge, Maoshan is not just for show. Fellow Daoist Gu Yue had better think it through before speaking."

Shi Jian's words made Li Yingqi a little confused. The moment Gu Yue approached, Li Yingqi sensed the arrival of this woman whose cultivation was higher than his own.

But his master did not react at all. It was obvious that the two knew each other, so Li Yingqi did not stop him and did not say anything.

But now, according to what his master said, the other party is from the Kunlun sect, which is as famous as Maoshan.

Coming to their master and apprentice, it seems that he is asking for something...

Li Yingqi fell into deep thought and did not speak blindly. With her master around, she only needed to obey his orders.

"Ugh!

Fellow Daoist Shi Jian, now that things have come to this, I will not hide anything. The purpose of my coming here today is very simple. My master, who is now the head of Kunlun, wants to invite Fellow Daoist Shi Jian to be a guest of Kunlun.

As the master's disciple, and having some connections with fellow Taoists, Gu Yue had no choice but to come..."

After saying this, Gu Yue's eyes flickered. What kind of look was that?
There are grievances and expectations, as well as worries and fears.

Shi Jian did not reply immediately, but just stared at Gu Yue closely, as if he wanted to see through people's hearts. Gu Yue felt as if thousands of ants were biting her body. This feeling was indescribable.

Finally, with the sound of a spiritual voice, Li Yingqi broke the silence.

"Master, do you think Kunlun is fun?
I am really a little moved..."

After saying this, Li Yingqi lowered his head.

She knew that it was not her turn to interrupt, but seeing Gu Yue's pitiful look, Li Yingqi really couldn't help herself.

The silence was broken, and Gu Yue looked at Li Yingqi with an incredible look, his eyes full of gratitude and joy.

And Shi Jian sighed.

He didn't intend to make things difficult for Gu Yue, but since the other party had come so directly to invite them to go to Kunlun, Shi Jian couldn't easily agree. His every word and action represented Maoshan, and he absolutely couldn't act casually.

Interests are always the basis of relationships. If the other party wants to establish a connection with you and Maoshan, he will have to pay a corresponding price in interests.

This is Shi Jian’s idea. It can’t be called extortion, it can only be said that each party gets what they need.

And now that he was interrupted by his own disciple, Shi Jian could only follow her...
