Bai Ming vs Li wei

Bai Ming circulated the spiritual energy in his body crazily before turning it into a spiritual flame, his entire body was enveloped by a layer of red-hot flames.

All cultivators could convert their spiritual essence into elemental energies, this was but a basic ability.

"Hmph!" A thin icy armor covered Li Wei's body, along with a pair of icy arms which held two long ice blades.

Bai Ming unsheathed his sword swiftly, as three sword phantoms emerged behind him, hovering silently. He secretly took out something from his storage pouch and placed it inside his robes.

"I have only about 10 percent of spiritual essence remaining in me. This formation is trouble, it's better to destroy it." Li Wei thought as she swallowed a brown-colored pill. The spiritual essence in her body began to recover at a very slow pace.

Li Wei pointed her index finger towards the formation, sending a human-sized icicle.

Bai Ming immediately intercepted it with a pale green sword light of his own.

Clank!

The icicle and sword light collided, The sword light disappeared, and the icicle broke into tiny fragments of ice.

"She took some kind of pill, but if there are no injuries on her body, then it should probably be a qi-restoring pill. This is bad, I have to finish this battle quickly, or as time passes her spiritual essence will recover." Bai Ming used his movement technique and dashed forward like a shooting arrow.

Li Wei quickly made a hand sign and a bizarre blue door emerged from the ground, from which countless sparrows were coming out every second.

Bai Ming quickly sent two sword phantoms to attack the door, while he aimed the other one at Li Jun.

Li Wei ignored the sword phantoms attacking the door, while she maneuvered the sparrows to send out a rain of icicles at Bai Ming, while also creating a protective ice barrier around Li jun.

Bam! the sword phantoms quickly destroyed the door, only then did the sparrows stop coming out. But nearly a hundred sparrows were floating in the air behind Li Wei.

All the sparrows opened their tiny mouths, Hundred pencil-sized icicles immediately materialized, before shooting toward Bai Ming.

After that, hundred more were created...

Like this, over several times, it turned into a boundless icicle rain.

Swoosh...

The icicles tore through the air, emitting a sound that shocked one's heart.

Bai Ming dodged while constantly slashing his sword with both hands, dancing like a shadow.

After achieving master attainment in the sword path, his understanding of the sword had grown by leaps and bounds. For him, the sword was just an extension of his body, not only Bai Ming's sword attacks were twice as strong as before and along with his battle qi, he was four times stronger than a regular swordsman.

But there were just too many icicles; Bai Ming was bound to miss some, and his left shoulder was hit by an icicle. But with his low-grade treasure body and some resistance from the layer of spiritual flame, he was able to remain uninjured.

"Meteor waves!"

Bai Ming majestically punched at the void before him, and from his fist, a strong vibration spread throughout the atmosphere. The vibrations began to combine into a colossal shock wave that violently surged toward Li Wei.

Puff! Puff! Puff!

A series of explosions were heard as more than half of the sparrows exploded into fine ice particles.

'Hong, Hong, Hong….'

Bai Ming wasn't finished, he repeatedly punched out. His punches were occasionally tough yet occasionally gentle.

Li Wei's eyes showed shock as she quickly conjured three ice walls to protect her.

The sparrows touched by the shockwaves had completely exploded without exception.

'Crack, crack, crack!'

Spider web-like cracks formed on the ice walls, and after Bai Ming sent another wave, the ice walls entirely collapsed.

Li Wei looked at her body, she could see tiny cracks appearing in her body armor.

"This guy, he is unlike the people from before. Setting up the 'door of freedom' has dropped my spiritual essence to just 6%" Li Wei's gaze flickered as she coldly glared at Bai Ming, "I am not able to absorb the essence within the qi returning pill while focusing on the battle, I can only let it naturally dissolve."

Li Wei lightly tapped on her bag of holding and drew out a rumpled piece of yellow paper.

"Talisman!" Bai Ming's eyes squinted, he had a vague idea what it was but it was difficult for him to anticipate its uses. Caution arose in his heart as he became extremely focused. Seeing this seemingly ordinary piece of yellow paper, Bai Ming was sure that there were bound to be enigmatic mysteries behind it.

The piece of paper was not large, about the size of a palm and yellowish with a hint of mold, giving the appearance that this talisman had been created many years ago.

The most noticeable thing was that the piece of paper was shining with a silvery light, materializing silvery wisps of lines in the air. The lines slowly formed into many strange symbols in the air. Bai Ming had absolutely no knowledge of these foreign symbols.

Bai Ming stopped his movements, as he hurriedly retreated a dozen of meters back, hundred and eight spots of light slowly formed in the void above him, within dozen breaths of time hundred and eight sword Phantoms emanating a dangerous aura formed. Bai Ming didn't waste any time as he pointed his sword toward the talisman.

The symbols in the air were shining even more brightly now, they twisted here and curved there, zigzagging around the air, yet there seemed to be something miraculous hidden within the strangely shaped symbols. Li Wei opened her mouth and spat out dense blue essence at the talisman, immediately after she looked extremely exhausted.

Once the dense yin essence entered the talisman, it momentarily let out a dazzling light as the talisman condensed into a ball of silver light, once the brilliant light disappeared a small azure worm was revealed, but at the next second, it grew into thirty feet giant azure snake, with icy scales all over its body acting as an icy armor. There were even a pair of giant bat wings on its back.

Under Li Wei's skilled maneuvering the azure snake collided with the rain of sword lights, Series of explosions resounded throughout the battlefield, but unfortunately for Bai Ming, the sword rain could only put scratches all over the serpent's body.

Even though the fifth layer primeval sword art was a high-grade technique, but currently Bai Ming only had 1st layer core formation cultivation, his spiritual energy output and spiritual essence quality were quite lacking, even with the boost of battle qi and sword path mastery its power was not the azure snakes match.

The azure snake flew towards Bai Ming at an incomparable speed, it opened its massive mouth revealing its icy snake teeth and ferociously bit at Bai Ming.

Bai Ming's pupils shrunk, and he instinctively used his mid-grade movement martial skill to evade disaster by a hair's breadth, but what greeted him was a demonic tail that slammed at him with mighty force.

Bam!! Bai Ming was sent flying like an insect, making a huge arc in the air before ruthlessly falling down on the hard ice surface.

Rumble!

Ice fragments scattered crazily, the force sent Bai Ming flying like an artillery shell, he pierced through the ice layer and traveled for an enormous distance before finally stopping.

Bai Ming lay amidst the broken ice, seriously injured. Even with a low-grade treasure body, he was heavily injured. His whole body was like a torn sack, crimson blood flowing out from the innumerable wounds. His nose and rib cage was broken, and the bones in his left arm were almost fractured.

A long ice channel was created just now, cut open by Bai Ming using his own body.

"Cough cough…"

Bai Ming coughed a few mouthfuls of blood mixed with tiny bits of organs and stared with an incredulous gaze at the azure snake.

"What the hell is this?"

Bai Ming tried to keep his calm, he swallowed a bunch of healing pills. His eyes were still fixed on the fearsome azure snake.

The fearsome snake didn't pursue Bai Ming, it moved towards the formation on the ceiling. It used its body to destroy the formation completely.

Li Wei saw Bai Ming's expression had turned extremely unsightly, she smiled lightly.

Bai Ming's face was still ugly, but he inwardly felt no loss at the destruction of the formation.

In Li Wei's view, Bai Ming had the ability to come here using the formation, hence he could also leave this place through it. But what she was unaware of was Bai Ming didn't have the ability to operate the formation, it was due to foreign reasons he was able to come here. But the main reason she destroyed it was because she didn't want any more guests coming.

"I have still underestimated the strength and ways of the cultivators from the mainland. The formation is already destroyed, but it doesn't matter. My escape route was never the formation to begin with." Bai Ming's gaze landed on the purple barrier on one of the corners of the underground space.

"I intended to kill this woman who seemed almost out of spiritual energy, after that I was going to kill that guy refining the essence flame, I originally thought that man was defenseless but after witnessing just this little girl's strength I don't dare judge his capabilities with my shallow knowledge. I have to escape quickly!" Bai Ming thought rapidly. He once again checked his body, and he noticed that flesh wounds had already healed, and his organs and bones were also slowly healing. This speed of recovery was mainly due to the tier 3 medicinal pills and rotten blood arts, which made his healing capabilities insane.

Bai Ming stood up on the ice surface with some difficulty, he put on the most charming smile he could and clasped his hands. He respectfully said "Greetings senior, this junior is called Zi Feng, I apologize for offending senior, but believe me it was not my intention to offend you, actually I had accidentally arrived in this place when I was moving in the mountains. Senior, I hope you can find it in your kind heart to ignore my foolish actions."

Li Wei looked at Bai Ming and smiled mockingly, she gave the most straightforward answer. The azure snake flapped its giant bat wings, as it ferociously pounced at Bai Ming.

"Looks like I have still not displayed that I am enough of a threat to her." Bai Ming coldly snorted, he stood on his spot like a sculpture, and a ten-meter-tall sword phantom materialized behind him. The giant snake quickly closed up on him.

The azure snake tried to swallow him again, but Bai Ming barely managed to dogged it. Like the previous time, the heaven-sweeping tail swung at him, but this time Bai Ming was fully prepared.

Bam! Bam!

Bai Ming swung both of his fists, The atmosphere filled with an oppressive aura as the terrifying waves surged out from Bai Ming's fists. The destructive shockwaves concentrated and fiercely clashed against the humongous azure tail.

Bai Ming was sent flying dozens of meters away, but he got back up and shook his aching and numb arms. He might look pitiful but was not the least bit harmed, except for his fists. On the contrary, there were tiny cracks on the surface of the giant snake's tail caused by Bai Ming's fierce attack.

Bai Ming laughed loudly as he dashed towards the azure snake, when he was just inches away from it Bai Ming sent the huge sword phantom towards Li Wei, while he barbarically fought against the azure snake.

Li Wei looked at the incoming sword phantom, she quickly made a hand sign as a seven-meter-long icicle flew out and destroyed the sword phantom.

"Back to square one, my hard-earned spiritual essence is gone just like that." Li Wei sighed inwardly, suddenly another sword phantom charged toward her.

Li Wei gritted her teeth, she threw the two icy blades in her hand at the incoming attack and managed to save herself.

....

Peng! Peng! Peng! Peng!

After a few dozen rounds of collisions, Bai Ming was still sent flying but the azure snake was accumulating more and more injuries every time they collided, Bai Ming was gradually taking back the initiative. Bai Ming also made sure to send attacks toward li wei constantly, making sure her spiritual essence storage was dry.

Li Wei was breathing roughly, there were numerous cuts all over her body from which scarlet blood seeped out, but the wound on her right shoulder was particularly deep.

"Damn it! this can't go on any longer, every time I recover some spiritual essence there is a sword coming for my head. The vengeance serpent cannot hold on much longer, it is going to break apart soon. What should I do?" Li Wei's expression was dim like water, her heart feeling heavy from the formless pressure Bai Ming excluded.

BANG!!

A thunderous sound was heard as the entire azure snake was smashed apart, chunks of ice scattered everywhere.

Bai Ming stood still on the battlefield, his fists were bloody, to the point his bloody finger bones could be seen. Drops of scarlet blood fell and dripped on the frozen ground.

Bai Ming intently glared at Li Wei and declared in a cold voice, "I am leaving, do you have a problem?"
