"Damn it, the target is trying to escape! Kill them!!"
Just as Lu Ming turned to leave, a sudden shout rang out, and the Bone Forging Realm expert burst through the wall, wielding a giant Xuanhua axe, with disheveled hair and bare chest, fiercely charging towards him.
As he moved, a dozen or so martial arts experts around the alley, the weakest of whom were at least fully-fledged Body Refinement cultivators, all glared fiercely and attacked Lu Ming with swords in hand.
Lu Ming's expression changed, and his pupils shrank sharply. It was coming for him?
This group of people had a fierce demeanor and were clearly members of a criminal gang. They had ambushed and killed him here for no apparent reason.
Fortunately, he had been using his Heavenly Leakage Divine Power and discovered it in advance.
Without hesitation, he used the "Soaring Clouds Technique" to retreat instantly. His "Divine Speed" ability was immediately activated, and his momentum only increased, causing his speed to skyrocket!
"You can't escape!!"
Lu Ming turned around and ran wildly. Just as he was about to escape this secluded path, a martial artist who had reached the Great Perfection of Tendon Refining suddenly appeared from the street ahead, blocking his way. The man roared and swung his broadsword at him, determined to force him back.
At the same time, a person used his lightness skill to leap out from a small alley on the left. With a flick of his wrist, he launched three throwing knives. The blades flashed and were sharp, blocking his escape route on the left.
Now, Lu Ming only has one option left: to retreat to the right rear. But that would allow him to be caught up by the Bone Forging Realm expert behind him.
At the critical moment, a cold glint flashed in Lu Ming's eyes, and he placed his hand on the hilt of his sword, finally drawing it out.
Suddenly, the blade surged like a rainbow, and Lu Ming soared into the sky, blocking the greatsword with a clang. The blades clashed, sparks flying everywhere.
"Blade strike!" The man's expression changed drastically. He took a step back, not daring to underestimate Lu Ming, but he didn't move aside. As long as he could block Lu Ming for a while, their gang leader would arrive from behind, and Lu Ming would surely die.
But then Lu Ming soared into the air, touched the wall, and rose straight up, flying over his head as if to escape from above.
"Such lightness skill?!" The two martial artists who had reached the Great Perfection of Tendon Refinement narrowed their eyes, and were about to unleash the power of their great tendons to intercept when they heard a loud shout from the street outside: "Lu Ming, die!"
Lu Ming's gaze sharpened in mid-air. He had already arrived above the street outside when Guo Zhengwei, wielding a nine-ringed saber, leaped down from the opposite rooftop. He unleashed a full-force slash with the Six Harmonies Saber Technique, his eyes flashing with murderous intent!
Two martial artists at the peak of the Tendon Refining stage were blocking his way below, while Guo Zhengwei attacked from the front. In an instant, Lu Ming faced an encirclement and attack by three top experts.
In that brief delay, he sensed the Bone Forging Realm expert rapidly approaching from behind, a deadly threat that made him feel like he had thorns in his back.
Guo Zhengwei, Guo Yuan!
Lu Ming understood why so many powerful figures had ambushed him, and he was immediately enraged!
In the face of life and death, he could no longer conceal his Void Stepping Divine Power. He stepped on the Void Wind and moved through the air, flashing to the wall and avoiding Guo Zhengwei's knife.
"Borrowing strength from the void!" Upon hearing this move, the two martial artists below, who had reached the Great Perfection of Tendon Refinement, both changed color.
Guo Zhengwei was also shocked, but he was in the air and his move was too slow, so he had nowhere to use his strength and could only watch helplessly as he fell downwards.
A sense of resentment rose in his heart. He hadn't expected that Lu Ming would still manage to evade the ambush.
Just as the two crossed paths in mid-air, a fierce glint appeared in Lu Ming's eyes, and he suddenly unleashed a slash.
"Six Harmonies Knife Technique!"
Guo Zhengwei's face changed color in shock. "How do you know the Six Harmonies Saber Technique?"
Before he could finish speaking, Lu Ming's attack had already arrived, severing Guo Zhengwei's head with his blade.
Wow!
A human head flew into the air, blood splattering everywhere. The head stared wide-eyed at Lu Ming, dying with its eyes wide open, before falling to the ground.
He never expected that Lu Ming would easily dodge his Six Harmonies Saber Technique, while Lu Ming would use the Six Harmonies Saber Technique to kill him with a single strike.
No one noticed that Lu Ming had subtly used the Void Stepping Divine Power again just now; otherwise, how could he have unleashed this strike while in mid-air?
"You bastard!"
A furious roar came from behind. The Bone Forging Realm warrior finally caught up. When he saw Guo Zhengwei's corpse, his eyelids twitched. How could he explain this to Guo Yuan?
He immediately fixed his gaze on Lu Ming, knowing that only by killing Lu Ming could he quell the matter.
"Die!" he shouted, leaping up and slamming his giant axe down on Lu Ming.
In an instant, Lu Ming felt a slight stinging pain in his back. Even before he was hit, he felt as if his body was being torn in two.
A martial artist in the Bone Forging Realm has cultivated true qi, which is a qualitative change resulting from the sublimation of qi and blood. Therefore, the strength and speed of a martial artist in the Bone Forging Realm are far superior to those who have reached the Great Perfection of Tendon Refining Realm, and are certainly not something that Lu Ming can currently withstand.
At the critical moment, Lu Ming swung his blade backhand, striking the axe.
To cut water with a knife!
Upon unleashing this divine power, the Bone Forging Realm martial artist immediately felt a jolt in his hand, a sense of unease settling in his heart. His movements froze for a moment, unable to immediately follow through.
In that short moment of respite, Lu Ming tapped the wall, launched himself forward, landed on the opposite rooftop, flipped over, and disappeared.
"What kind of swordsmanship is this! It's so exquisite!" The Bone Forging Realm martial artist was shocked. He could only watch helplessly as Lu Ming escaped, unable to pursue him any longer.
Qingning Prefecture City is not their territory. If they dare to chase them down street by street, they will definitely not come out unscathed.
"Father!" Just then, Guo Yuan rushed over and saw Guo Zhengwei's head on the ground. His expression changed drastically, and he was filled with grief.
"Young Master Guo, I am incompetent!" The Bone Forging Realm martial artist said with a grim face. Such a grand display was used to ambush and kill a Great Perfection Body Refinement martial artist, but in the end, he managed to escape alive, which made him lose face.
He still doesn't know how Lu Ming discovered the problem with that alley. If Lu Ming had gone into the alley, the outcome would have been different. He felt a pang of regret.
"I told you not to come, why did you have to come anyway!" Guo Yuan ignored the Bone Forging Realm martial artist and said sorrowfully, holding Guo Zhengwei's head.
He knew that Guo Zhengwei was not quite right in the head, but he never expected that in the blink of an eye, Guo would sneak out and participate in this ambush.
"Lu Ming, I swear to kill you!" Guo Yuan said through gritted teeth, his heart filled with hatred.
I thought I could take advantage of Lu Ming's solo trip to capture him, but I failed again. Lu Ming, Lu Ming!!
A strong killing intent appeared in Guo Yuan's eyes, but the corners of his mouth involuntarily curled up slightly, and a hint of excitement flashed deep in his eyes, making his face look slightly crazy.
On the street, pedestrians watched from afar, discussing the scene.
"That's Feng Li, the leader of the Tiger Head Gang. Today, all the experts from the Tiger Head Gang have come out in full force, just to kill a teenager? And they didn't even manage to kill him. He must be a young genius."
"Shh, say less. Didn't you see it was Guo Yuan who instigated this? He's a core disciple of the Tianheng Sword Sect."
"Tiger Head Gang? I'll remember that! And Guo Yuan—Guo Zhengwei's death today is just the beginning, we'll wait and see!"
""
At the street corner, Lu Ming gritted his teeth slightly, feeling a dull pain in his chest, and a murderous intent arose in his heart.
The force of the blow that struck Feng Li's Xuanhua Giant Axe, even with the use of the Water-Severing Divine Power, still caused him a backlash and resulted in minor injuries.
A martial artist at the Bone Forging Realm is indeed extremely powerful.
He turned around, disappeared into the crowd, and quickly returned to the Military Service Department.
After taking the healing pills he had bought on the street, he meditated for a while and then continued his cultivation.
After the life-or-death battle just now, his already somewhat weak bottleneck became even more loose.
When practicing, one can vaguely feel the qi and blood within the body gathering and flourishing.
Two days later.
Lu Ming was cultivating when suddenly his internal energy surged, as if all his meridians had melted and absorbed the energy, or perhaps the scalding energy had finally melted it. With a "snap," his meridians suddenly twisted into a rope, making his whole body tough and powerful, and his strength surged!
Breakthrough!
Finally, the tendon-strengthening exercise was successful!
Lu Ming pondered for a moment, then suddenly opened his eyes. A murderous intent flashed in his eyes, and he vanished from the spot.
