Chapter 14 Powerful Martial Arts Names

Li Chang'an's behavior convinced the two that he was determined to curry favor with the Hehuan Sect, which was exactly what Li Chang'an wanted to see.

Seeing their expressions, Li Chang'an's lips curled up slightly. Just after dealing with Niu Le, he deliberately let go of a Golden Core cultivator hiding in the distant jungle.

Li Chang'an pointed to the distant forest, made a gesture of cupping to Su Muxue, and said apologetically.

"Master's wife, we were just afraid that the traitor Niu Le would get away, but that cultivator in the distance slipped away instead."

With Su Muxue's strength, she could naturally sense that there was a Golden Core cultivator watching from a distance not far from where Li Chang'an had just fought.

She waved her hand and sighed softly.

"There's more than one cultivator here!"

She stared at the dense jungle, her jade-like legs moving with a swiftness.

Immediately, the fragrance of datura flowers invaded the forest, and Su Muxue saw that he had already arrived there.

She looked at the lingering spiritual energy fluctuations and shook her head.

"You run really fast!"

Half an hour later, Li Chang'an and Ning Hanruo finally arrived.

Upon arriving at the jungle, Ning Hanruo and Li Chang'an exchanged a glance, then stared at the end of the jungle, a chill suddenly rising from their bodies.

"Someone's coming!"

Immediately, a top-grade third-tier spiritual sword appeared in Ning Hanruo's hand. Spiritual power gathered on the sword, and with a single strike, the surrounding trees snapped and the grass sprang up from the ground.

what--

A scream rang out as a Golden Core cultivator from the Qinglan Sect at the edge of the jungle was struck squarely by the attack.

Three breaths passed, and Ning Hanruo saw that the aura in front of him was not stopping but getting closer and closer.

She swung her sword again, but this time her attack was crushed by a large hand of spiritual energy.

""The Aragami Refining Palm"!"

In an instant, dark clouds gathered in the sky, and giant hands gradually emerged from the clouds, pressing down towards Li Chang'an and the others.

Upon seeing this, a rich, intoxicating fragrance emanated from Su Muxue's body.

With a flick of her arm, a dark purple spiritual energy shot out from her palm, transforming into an arrow that flew towards her large hand.

"Elder Lei's martial arts techniques still have those imposing names, but I wonder how strong he is now!"

Su Moxue curled her lips into a smile, and a burly figure appeared in mid-air.

The newcomer was none other than Lei Wu, the Grand Elder of the Qinglan Sect.

Following behind him were three Golden Core cultivators at the Great Perfection stage.

One of them had just been injured by Ning Hanruo's sword, and blood was still seeping from the sword wounds on his tattered clothes.

Lei Wu snorted coldly, his eyes fixed on Su Moxue's direction, and quickly raised his hand to press down.

The giant hand in the sky descended rapidly in response to Lei Wu's movements.

The giant hand collided with the dark purple arrow, generating a huge surge of spiritual energy. The surrounding space trembled slightly from the impact.

As the smoke cleared, the arrow pierced through the giant hand and hurtled towards Lei Wu below.

"This martial art is truly all show and no substance; it's a shame it has such a catchy name."

Hearing Su Muxue's mocking voice, Lei Wu roared and annihilated the incoming spiritual energy arrow with a punch.

"Su Muxue, you alone dare to trespass on the territory of my Qinglan Sect? Have you truly forgotten the suffering you endured three days ago?"

Upon hearing this, Su Muxue crossed her arms and laughed disdainfully.

"Elder Lei is truly domineering, but unfortunately you are not worthy to be my opponent!"

As soon as she finished speaking, Su Muxue turned around and glanced at Li Chang'an and Ning Hanruo.

"Chang'an, this barbarian is in your hands now, and the Qinglan Sect Master Liu Yishui is in your hands as Master's wife."

She immediately looked in the direction of Qinglan Sect and moved.

Seeing Su Moxue leave, Lei Wu was not in a hurry. He stared at Li Chang'an and Ning Hanruo, and his aura suddenly increased.

"It seems that the Cangyun Sect has strayed from the righteous path, so there's no need for you two to live any longer."

As the voice faded, Lei Wu's clothes burst open, revealing his muscular physique, making him look like a natural stone sculpture.

Lei Wu stopped wasting words and threw a punch. Ning Hanruo, holding a third-grade top-quality spirit sword, glanced at Li Chang'an and said.

"Sect Leader Li, you go and deal with the remaining Golden Core cultivators. Leave Lei Wu to me!"

"Can……"

Before Li Chang'an could continue speaking, Ning Hanruo used the blade of her sword to launch several attacks in Lei Wu's direction.

Seeing this, Li Chang'an could only secretly pray that Ning Han could successfully resist for the time being.

These three elders, all at the peak of the Golden Core stage, had naturally heard of the Cangyun Sect's useless first-grade Golden Core sect leader.

Seeing him fight alone, the elder who had just been injured by Ning Hanruo revealed a mocking expression.

he laughed.

"Boy, you're just a piece of trash at the first-grade Golden Core stage. It would be beneath our hands to lay a hand on you."

"If you know what's good for you, then kill yourself. We might spare your body out of consideration for our past friendship with Sect Leader Ren."

Upon hearing this, Li Chang'an's lips curled up slightly, and he thought to himself.

"A bunch of idiots, do you think I'd come here to die for nothing?"

Immediately, Li Chang'an stared at the man who had been injured by Ning Hanruo and had a sword mark on his chest, and strode over.

The man with the sword mark was completely unprepared for Li Chang'an's attack. He simply stood there, his gaze extremely provocative, ready to strangle Li Chang'an with a single blow.

Just as Li Chang'an was about to encounter the man with the sword mark, the fourth-grade mid-level longsword Desert appeared in his hand, and he activated his spiritual power to the fullest extent.

For an instant.

The sword blade pierced directly through the man's body, ending his life.

Li Chang'an quickly suppressed his aura, kicked the corpse of the man with the sword mark to the ground, and spat on the corpse.

"Isn't it funny? Why aren't you laughing? Don't you like to laugh?"

Upon seeing this scene, the other two Golden Core cultivators were slightly taken aback, and then greedy looks appeared in their eyes.

"Although he was only a first-grade Golden Core cultivator, he still possessed such a deadly weapon. Old Wang's death was not unjust."

Immediately, the speaker charged at Li Chang'an, while the other person was not to be outdone and quickly surrounded Li Chang'an.

The Golden Core cultivator who had just spoken, holding an axe, laughed loudly.

"Boy, I advise you not to put up any futile resistance. That female demon has probably already been defeated and escaped by the sect leader."

"And you're just trash she can discard at any time!"

Before the echo of the sound had faded, the axe-wielding man had already arrived in front of Li Chang'an.

Li Chang'an shook his head and did a backflip to close the distance between himself and the Golden Core cultivator behind him.

Sensing the murderous aura rapidly approaching from behind, Li Chang'an's upturned lips calmed down, replaced by a smile of triumph.

He glanced disdainfully at the axe-wielding man who was attacking again.

He held the long sword behind his back, unleashing the full power of a fifth-grade Golden Core cultivator and a fully matured Golden Core cultivator.

"The timing is perfect!"

The cultivator who attacked Li Chang'an from behind had his chest pierced by Li Chang'an's attack.

In the blink of an eye, Li Chang'an took a step back and used his spiritual power to thrust the Desert Sword in his hand at the axe-wielding man.

Just as the axe-wielding man was about to be struck by Li Chang'an's attack, a person hidden in the shadows suddenly appeared and used spiritual power to push the axe-wielding man away.

The axe-wielding man, who had narrowly escaped death, was covered in cold sweat and exhaled a breath of cold air.

"What a treacherous bastard."
