White-Browed Xiao Li was nothing in Jiang Mu Ming's eyes.
Below the Carefree Heaven Realm.
He was invincible!
Even against someone above the Carefree Heaven Realm, he had ways to contend with them briefly!
Thus, Jiang Mu Ming naturally would not regard anyone below the Carefree Heaven Realm as an expert.
Their horizons were different.
Naturally, the worlds they saw were different as well.
But how could Xiao Li possibly understand this?
"Then I'll have to see whether the skill in your hands is as tough as your mouth!"
Xiao Li was so furious that he laughed instead.
What sort of people had entered the Carefree Heaven Realm?
Although he himself had failed to enter the Carefree Heaven Realm,
today, he would let this brat understand that there was always a heaven beyond heaven and a person beyond people!
"Today, all four of you will die here!"
"No one can stop the Southwest Dao's rise!"
The Yan Family had done so much simply to kill the Gu Family's only heir after Miss Yan married into the Gu Family.
That way, they could take over the Gu Family completely.
They would become the greatest power in the Southwest Dao in one stroke.
As the Yan Family Steward,
Xiao Li naturally had to safeguard this plan.
He would never allow anyone who might sabotage the Yan Family's grand plan to live!
Xiao Li stroked his white brows.
The energy around him surged violently, and he attacked Jiang Mu Ming and the others with his brush.
He swung the large brush in his hand.
Splashes of ink surged forth with his force.
They shot toward them!
The momentum was truly overwhelming!
"Watch out!"
Lei Mengsha's heart jolted.
White-Browed Xiao Li's strength was indeed astonishing. A casual splash of ink already carried such tremendous power.
They had to be even more careful!
But at that moment, Jiang Mu Ming stepped in front of everyone.
He casually raised a hand.
Powerful winds rose, sweeping sand throughout the air.
A Three-Foot Qi Wall instantly stood before them.
Even their vision seemed distorted by the thick true qi.
Boom! Boom! Boom!
Explosions rang out without end along the long street.
The ink Xiao Li flung out erupted with astonishing force the moment it struck the ground.
It smashed out crater after crater.
Yet the area around Jiang Mu Ming and the others remained completely unharmed.
Before the Three-Foot Qi Wall, all the ink seemed to have lost its original power.
It could not cross even a single step!
"Not bad." Xiao Li's expression gradually turned solemn.
With just this move, his opponent already qualified to be his match.
"But if that's all you have, it won't be enough to preserve your life!"
The next moment.
Xiao Li suddenly dashed forward.
His figure was like a ghost.
In the blink of an eye, he appeared before them.
He raised his brush and brought it down.
But Jiang Mu Ming seemed to have known it in advance.
He lightly tapped the ground with his foot.
He dodged it with ease and grace.
Lei Mengsha's pupils contracted. Just now, he had not even seen Xiao Li's movement clearly!
If he were the one fighting Xiao Li,
he would likely have been injured by that single move!
"Can you do nothing but dodge?"
Xiao Li launched several attacks in succession, yet he could not even touch the corner of Jiang Mu Ming's clothes.
He grew increasingly impatient.
"That's not quite true." Jiang Mu Ming's figure soared lightly through the air.
He leaped onto the roof.
He beckoned with one hand and chuckled. "I do have a sword that can cut you down."
"Rise, sword!"
In an instant, a rainbow flashed, and a sword flew up from the bookstall.
In the blink of an eye, it crossed several dozen paces.
It landed in Jiang Mu Ming's hand.
The sword's body was scarlet, radiating a faint red glow.
It had been carved entirely from peach wood.
A jade pendant hung from its hilt.
"What a sword!"
Lei Mengsha's eyes were involuntarily drawn to it.
Although the sword was not forged from metal,
it nevertheless gave off a mysterious feeling.
This sword surely had something unique about it.
Opposite him,
Xiao Li narrowed his eyes as well.
This sword was extraordinary!
And the person wielding it was even more extraordinary!
But to kill him with a single sword strike?
That was far too arrogant!
Xiao Li immediately gathered his energy again and unleashed his ultimate move.
He attacked Jiang Mu Ming.
The berserk force stirred up clouds of dust, while the surrounding bluestone slabs cracked apart.
Yet all of this
had no effect whatsoever on Jiang Mu Ming atop the roof.
He casually flourished the sword.
Then he suddenly chanted, "The waters of the Great River descend from heaven, rushing to the sea... never to return!"
The next moment.
The world before everyone's eyes suddenly changed!
A Great River that seemed truly to pour down from the highest heavens descended in a mighty torrent, its waves surging furiously.
It carried boundless momentum.
It descended with irresistible force!
Just seeing that Great River made them feel its boundless weight.
It made it impossible to summon even the thought of resisting.
After all, how could a single person resist a surging river falling from the highest heavens?
Yet the Great River was incomparably vast.
It also made it impossible for anyone to conceive of escaping it.
"What kind of sword intent is this?!"
Everyone felt an overwhelming sense of helplessness.
Any random little wave atop that surging Great River seemed capable of sending them to their deaths!
Not to mention the boundless, immeasurable river itself!
And Xiao Li, who stood at the very center of the Great River Sword Intent, felt an even more terrifying pressure.
It was as if the heavens were collapsing and the earth was sinking, as if Mount Tai were pressing down upon him.
Before this Great River, he could not even raise his head!
His legs involuntarily weakened.
Sweat had long since soaked his back.
What kind of terrifying sword intent was this? His opponent had not even drawn his sword yet!
He had merely revealed a trace of sword intent!
Yet Xiao Li was already unable to withstand it!
Could his opponent have already broken through to the Carefree Heaven Realm?!
But his opponent looked only somewhere between ten and twenty years old. How could he possibly have broken through to the Carefree Heaven Realm?!
Even if he had practiced martial arts in the womb, it still would not have been enough!
"So strong..." Sikong Changfeng was utterly shaken.
He could not even imagine
what kind of power that sword would possess if his opponent truly drew it.
Compared to his opponent,
the gap between them was simply too vast.
Atop the roof,
Jiang Mu Ming held the long sword in his hand and looked at Xiao Li, who was desperately trying to resist the Great River Sword Intent.
He said calmly, "It's time to end this."
In an instant.
The Great River suspended above White-Browed Xiao Li's head descended in its entirety.
The surging Great River completely submerged Xiao Li in an instant.
Under the rushing force of the Great River Sword Intent,
Xiao Li did not even have time to say a single word before he died after completely exhausting his strength.
The Great River Sword Intent was simply this domineering!
Beneath the torrential Great River, everything was reduced to dust!
Watching this scene,
Lei Mengsha was utterly shocked.
This unfathomably mysterious Bookstall Owner was far stronger than he had imagined.
A frightening possibility emerged in Lei Mengsha's mind.
Could his opponent already be nearing the Carefree Heaven Realm?!
A Carefree Heaven Realm expert this young?!
