Is This Qi Training Stage 2?

Inside the other three White Light Orbs, two Gold Metal Swordplays came out, along with a First Grade Talisman, the Earth Wall Talisman.

After use, it could trigger a heavy earthen wall about a zhang high, with very good protective effects.

Lu Xuan digested the Gold Metal Swordplay in his mind, carefully experiencing and comprehending the subtleties of the swordplay.

As his Spiritual Power circulated, a streak of golden flowing light appeared almost instantly and passed through a huge boulder with a whoosh.

He felt that this swordplay he had mastered had already reached the Minor Achievement Realm; when he activated it, it consumed less Spiritual Power, moved faster, and its power had increased by a great deal as well.

The six mature Spirit Firefly Grasses, and the six White Light Orbs they brought, raised Lu Xuan's combat strength another step.

He even wished Qin Ming would come looking for him later, preferably after all the Spirit Firefly Grass had matured. He could even accept waiting until the Red Cloud Pine or Sword Grass matured.

However, he also knew this was wishful thinking. Once his opponent had figured out his bottom line and patterns of movement, he would naturally take action very soon.

That night, all was silent.

A figure quietly appeared outside Lu Xuan's courtyard without making the slightest sound.

"That damned brat. Pretty cunning, aren't you? You actually hid in the house the whole time and never went out."

"But if you think hiding at home will keep you safe and sound, you're far too naive."

Qin Ming stood silently outside the courtyard, gazing at the Black Thorns on the Bluestone Courtyard Wall, a trace of mockery surfacing on his face.

Relying on his cultivation being two minor realms above Lu Xuan's, he had nothing to fear, and with the mentality of a cat playing with a mouse, he had even deliberately met Lu Xuan once.

He hadn't expected that little Rogue Cultivator at Qi Training Stage 2 to be quite cautious. During this period, he had stayed hidden in his house the whole time and no longer went out to help people clear out Insect Pests.

Qin Ming had kept watch nearby for several days, but the other party never left the house, so he simply came straight over.

"A Basic Protective Array. If it were a First Grade Array, it would still play a decent role. But with this level of protection, I'll just break it open."

With one hand, he faced the thin layer of Spiritual Power shield outside the courtyard. Several sharp Ice Thorns appeared, spinning with a low whistle, and directly broke the protective array.

Arriving before the window, he sensed with his Spiritual Sense that there was no movement at all inside the house. The breaking of the protective array seemed not to have aroused that little Rogue Cultivator's slightest vigilance.

"His spiritual perception is too poor. He's actually still sleeping that deeply. Fine, then. I'll let you die in your sleep and suffer a little less pain."

Qin Ming muttered inwardly. Immediately, an Ice Spear over half a zhang long appeared above his head, its spear tip trembling faintly, its white-jade-like shaft emitting a biting chill.

The Ice Spear gave a soft cry and stabbed toward the cultivator on the bed like a sharp arrow.

"Hmm?"

The Ice Spear passed straight through the entire bed, but Qin Ming sensed something wasn't right. He walked toward the wooden bed, a layer of frost armor appearing around him, intending to take a look.

Just as he entered the room, a streak of golden flowing light stabbed toward Qin Ming's head at extreme speed.

The frost armor was easily pierced through by the golden flowing light. In the blink of an eye, it was about to stab straight into his head.

Sensing the deadly threat brought by the golden flowing light, in that instant, a Jade Token at Qin Ming's waist silently shattered. A layer of clear, misty spiritual light formed on the surface of his body and rapidly expanded, blocking the golden flowing light that still had force remaining outside it.

"Bold!"

Qin Ming looked at the rapidly dissolving Gold Metal Swordplay, a flash of lingering fear crossing his face.

He had already been cautious enough. When he came in, he had even added the Frost Armor Technique for protection, yet he had not expected that a Spirit Plant Master at Qi Training Stage 2 could release a swordplay with such killing power.

The Frost Armor Technique, which had rendered countless meritorious services in the past, was actually so unable to withstand a single blow! If not for that Jade Token Magic Tool sensing the danger and protecting him in time, perhaps he really might have fallen beneath this swordplay.

After the lingering fear came a face full of pained regret.

This Jade Token Magic Tool that had blocked a fatal strike for him had been extremely difficult to obtain, costing him nearly two hundred Spirit Stones. He had always carried it close to his body to guard against the unexpected.

But he had never imagined that such a precious Jade Token Magic Tool would actually be used up on this little Rogue Cultivator at Qi Training Stage 2!

"Very good. Your attainments in swordplay far exceed my imagination. However, this is as far as you go."

"You wasted one of my top-grade protective Magic Tools. I'll make you regret it!"

He looked at Lu Xuan as his figure emerged from the darkness in the corner, his expression sinister as he spoke.

"I'm just an ordinary Spirit Plant Master. For a noble cultivator at the Qi Refining Middle Stage like you, why must you drive things to extinction like this?"

Lu Xuan spoke in an indifferent tone.

"Your mistake was killing so many of my larvae and earning Spirit Stones that should have belonged to me."

"Your greatest mistake is that you're only a Rogue Cultivator at Qi Training Stage 2. Understand?"

Lu Xuan said no more and crooked a finger at Qin Ming.

"Hmph!"

Being provoked like this by a Spirit Plant Master at Qi Training Stage 2, a wicked fire rose in Qin Ming's heart, and his Spiritual Power circulated.

Dozens of Ice Cones emitting bone-piercing cold rapidly appeared before him, covering every direction in which Lu Xuan could possibly dodge.

Lu Xuan's face was expressionless. With a flick of both hands, he used more than ten First Grade Talismans all at once.

In an instant, densely packed blades attacked Qin Ming like a rain of arrows, with Crimson Fireballs, bluish-gray wooden spikes, and more mixed among them.

"They're all glittering white Spirit Stones..."

A thought flashed rapidly through Lu Xuan's mind. This strike had practically emptied out all the talismans he had collected during this period. What he was fighting was a Spirit Stone war! At the same time, a pale silvery-white blade trailed behind the many streaks of Sword Qi, not conspicuous in the slightest.

Seeing so many Sword Qi slashes hurtling toward him, Qin Ming cursed viciously in his heart, pressed down with one hand, and a thick Ice Wall suddenly rose before him.

His attainments in Ice Element Techniques were indeed extremely deep. The Frost Armor Technique could be made thin enough to freeze Black Sprout Insect Larvae as fine as strands of hair, and it could also very quickly form an Ice Wall with such powerful defensive ability.

Hundreds upon thousands of Sword Qi slashes whistled over. Amid a chorus of ringing clangs, countless fine cracks appeared across the Ice Wall. Under the impact of the Sword Qi behind them, the cracks spread at flying speed, and chunks of ice large and small dropped away.

With a bang.

The Crimson Fireball struck the cracks. Ice and fire fused, instantly producing a violent explosion.

A huge hole appeared in the Ice Wall.

A silver-white sword light slipped quietly through and stabbed toward Qin Ming's head.

"Come on, then!"

A flying sword shot from Qin Ming's waist to meet the Silver-White Sword.

Just as the two were about to make contact, the Silver-White Sword suddenly split off into dozens of thin fragments.

The fragments carried sharp sword intent, and under Qin Ming's expression of eyes splitting in fury, they attacked every part of his body.

The largest thin shard circled around behind Qin Ming's head and lightly swept past. A fine line appeared across the back of his neck, and in the next instant, bright-red blood sprayed out.

The instant his head fell, the last thread of Qin Ming's consciousness saw one or several thin fragments embedded in each of his limbs, his heart, his lower body, and other places.

This motherfucker is Qi Training Stage 2?

Endless regret surged up in his heart, and then his consciousness sank into boundless darkness.
