Chapter 64 - 64: A New Entry!
Fighting bare-handed, his body flashed around like lightning.
In the beginning, Li Ming had been forced to a defensive position against Qin Zhen’s frenzied attacks. However, after a good while of exchanging blows, the gap between them gradually became apparent.
Qin Zhen had used a secret art to increase his strength to rival someone at the perfected level of the foundation establishment realm, and his spiritual qi had become a lot more concentrated than it had originally been.
But surprisingly, no matter how much spiritual qi he used, he was unable to deal with Li Ming!
For some reason, the more they fought, the more worried Qin Zhen became!
Every time they clashed, Qin Zhen could feel that it became slightly more difficult to make any progress!
It was as if his attacks could not get close to Li Ming at all!
Even though Li Ming’s fists were covered in blood, Qin Zhen was frightened but what he saw beyond the blood.
The wounds on Li Ming’s fist were actually healing at an astonishing speed!
In fact, it seemed as if the blood on his fists only served to make the golden crow true fire blazing on his fists to burn brighter and stronger! As time passed, the might of the Five Divine Fists rose to new heights! “You b*stard, your body is so tough!”
After a series of exchanges, Qin Zhen revealed signs of retreat. He was already exhausted.
At this point, he could only dodge Li Ming’s attacks to the best of his abilities.
No matter how much spiritual qi he used on Li Ming, he was not making any progress!
Even if Li Ming was injured, his abnormal body and powerful recovery ability made it impossible for him to defeat him!
Hard!
It was very hard!
It was simply too hard!
Li Ming’s body looked like it was made of flesh and blood, but it was as hard as metal!
No matter how much Qin Zhen attacked, he could not achieve the effect he wanted!
Instead, he was only receiving more and more injuries himself.
Boom!
Qin Zhen hurriedly gathered spiritual qi around his body to block another punch, but he was utterly incapable of blocking it.
The spiritual qi that he had gathered in front of him instantly collapsed. A punch had finally cleanly landed on the blood-colored armor in front of his chest.
With this punch, Qin Zhen’s entire armor actually melted instantly from the golden crow true fire on Li Ming’s fist!
Qin Zhen could no longer muster any more spiritual qi, and his strength, which he had increased with the help of the secret art, was slowly declining under the suppression of the golden crow true fire!
Before Qin Zhen could react, Li Ming had already launched another attack right at him!
As the saying went, hit where it hurts.
In this battle, it was obviously the perfect time to attack when the other party was weakened.
Previously, in Windstorm Town, Li Ming had made the mistake of letting his enemy off and nearly causing his own death.
If it was not for the fact that he cultivated his body, he would have died in Storm Town.
Therefore, after seeing Qin Zhen at a disadvantage, Li Ming did not show any hesitation and fully displayed his killing intent!
He immediately dashed forward, condensed a bronze cauldron with one hand, and sent it smashing directly at Qin Zhen’s face!
At this time, Qin Zhen was already suppressed by the golden crow true fire. He was unable to freely circulate his spiritual qi to defend himself. Moreover, Li Ming was so fast that he arrived in front of him instantly, and his attack was as fast as lightning.
With all of that together, Qin Zhen was completely unable to resist this sudden attack!
Boom!
The huge cauldron landed and instantly smashed out a huge pit in the ground!
The surroundings had long been razed to ashes by the golden crow true fire, and even the soil had become extremely charred!
When the golden crow true fire completely dissipated, it seemed as if the entire valley had been met with a natural disaster. The entire area now looked dilapidated and desolate.
The disciples of the Heavenly Demon Sect had been completely annihilated!
While Li Ming and Qin Zhen were fighting, the Heavenly Demon Sect disciples who were nearby tried to launch sneak attacks at Li Ming, but they were all decimated by the blazing golden crow true fire.
As a result, after the battle ended, all the people from the Heavenly Demon Sect were dead!
Even Qin Zhen was smashed to the ground by the cauldron!
After doing all this, Li Ming heaved a sigh of relief. Looking at his destroyed gloves, Li Ming felt helpless.
Facing a full-force attack from a late-stage foundation establishment cultivator, it was simply unable to hold on. The magical artifact had directly shattered after receiving the attack.
Fortunately, Li Ming cultivated both his body and qi, and the Golden Crow Body Tempering Art significantly strengthened his physical body.
For an ordinary qi cultivation foundation establishment cultivator, the attacks that Li Ming had received would have immediately killed them!
The advantages of body cultivation became apparent to him during the battle. In terms of speed, strength, explosiveness, defense, and other aspects, he was completely above any qi cultivation foundation establishment cultivator!
[Mission complete. Obtained purple entry: Wild Growth!]
[Wild Growth (Purple): When experiencing a breakthrough, the effects of the breakthrough are doubled!]
Damn!
As expected of a purple entry!
Li Ming looked at the effect of the entry and sucked in a breath of cold air!
With a purple entry already being so powerful, just how amazing were the entries that were of even higher rating?
This purple entry increased the effects of his breakthroughs in cultivation by 100%. In other words, when advancing from the intermediate-stage foundation establishment realm to the late-stage foundation establishment realm, if an ordinary person’s strength increased by 100, his strength would increase by 200!
In this way, he could greatly shorten the time he needed to cultivate.
With this entry, he could increase his strength even faster.
What was most unexpected was that this entry was not only suitable for qi cultivation, but also for body cultivation!
This was no different from the ultimate cheat!
Li Ming sighed in his heart. However, he was curious as to why no Opportunity came with the purple entry this time.
This also made Li Ming slowly realize that the purple entry itself was already extraordinary, and perhaps Opportunity did not appear every time.
Well, it did make sense, an Opportunity was an opportunity. If it was not fated, then that was that.
Sometimes it would appear, and sometimes it would not.
Li Ming stopped looking at his entries and carefully checked the changes in his body.
Although this battle was the battle where Li Ming faced the strongest opponent he ever had, he had not actually faced much danger.
This was because the other party’s cultivation technique was completely suppressed by him. Coupled with the abnormal power of the golden crow true fire, under the absolute suppression, there was indeed not much danger to speak of for him.
Of course, if Qin Zhen’s cultivation had truly been at the perfected level of the foundation establishment realm, or maybe even the golden core realm, Li Ming would have had no chance of winning even if he had the golden crow true fire.
“Junior Brother Li, y-you’re so powerful even while at the intermediate-stage of the foundation establishment realm.”
Lu Lan could not help but sigh when she saw this.
After all, she had seen Li Ming’s method of forcefully fusing qi cultivation and body cultivation before.
However, after two months, Li Ming had already learned to properly fuse them.
He had clearly fused both body and qi cultivation!
He was now dual cultivating body and qi!
This was clearly unprecedented!
“It’s alright. The seclusion had some effect.” “This mission has honestly been quite hectic.”
“Anyway, are you guys alright?”
Li Ming asked. He looked at Chen Qingke and found that she was looking at him with excitement.
She looked like a little fangirl.
Before Li Ming could even say anything, Chen Qingke quickly stepped forward and held his hand. “Senior brother, after we reach the golden core realm, let’s spar! ”
“Senior brother can already kill late-stage foundation establishment cultivators now. After reaching Golden Core, you will definitely be even more powerful!”
Chen Qingke spoke with great excitement. While she overtly appeared to be suggesting a spar, in fact, she was inwardly happy for Li Ming.
In the sect, countless people looked down on Li Ming, whether it be in the inner sect or the outer sect.
Even after entering the Five Halls, Li Ming was only assigned to a place where nobody was.
It made the other disciples look down on him even more..
