Li Ming did not kill the red-robed young man on the spot.
Instead, he removed the cauldron from the young man’s body.
Anyway, he was already on his last breath.
Li Ming still wanted to interrogate the young man for information, so he naturally had to keep him alive.
After all, there were more Divine Will Sect disciples out on missions.
Moreover, his current location was close to Chen Qingke and other disciples.
Li Ming wanted to get an idea of the forces the other party had brought and the distribution of these forces.
From that, he could then make rough speculations as to what the overall situation was.
Li Ming looked at the young man on the ground. Seeing his haggard face and weak appearance, he let down his guard a little.
The golden crow spiritual qu was extremely harmful to these kinds of cultivators, and the red-robed young man had withstood a huge cauldron that possessed a might equivalent to a mystic-tier technique!
That blow would have naturally not left him in a good state.
“Answer me. ”
“Are there any other disciples of your Heavenly Demon Sect nearby?”
“You’d better tell me what you know.”
“Otherwise, you won’t be able to keep your life!”
Li Ming glanced at the man coldly, his threatening words devoid of any emotion.
In any case, these fellows were evil and unorthodox. Their lives were clearly not valued by many.
Of course, while others might not value their lives, that did not mean that they themselves did not value their lives.
Li Ming naturally seized this point to threaten the young man in red.
Hearing Li Ming’s words, the young man in red was indignant.
However, this guy’s strange spiritual qi had seriously injured him!
Not only did it break his armor, but it also suppressed his spiritual qi!
He felt that he was truly unlucky to encounter a fellow who just so happened to counter him!
“I’ll talk!”
The young man in red only struggled for a moment before making a decision! Li Ming found himself a little curious when he saw how decisive the young man was.
It now appeared to him that these people who looked cruel and fierce on the outside were actually the most afraid of death.
With the red-robed young man’s confession, Li Ming finally understood the situation in the vicinity.
He also learned of the purpose of this group of Heavenly Demon Sect disciples led by the red-robed young man.
In short, regardless of whether it was the Heavenly Demon Sect or the other sects, they had long wanted to take down the Divine Will Sect.
The promotion of a sect was often accompanied by annexation.
The entire Eastern Continent was divided into the Heavenly Southern Region and the Heavenly Northern Region. However, the Heavenly Southern Region had comparatively more abundant resources.
This was also their main goal.
The Heavenly Demon Sect made rather large moves and they had always taken action in quite the vile manner.
This time, the Heavenly Demon Sect had sent out dozens of foundation establishment disciples.
Among them, there was even a late-stage foundation establishment cultivator acting as the leader.
According to the red-robed young man, the late-stage foundation establishment cultivator was leading the other Heavenly Demon Sect disciples to encircle the geniuses of the Divine Will Sect!
Those who the Heavenly Demon Sect considered to be the geniuses of the Divine Will Sect most likely included Chen Qingke.
As for whether there were other people, Li Ming did not know.
No matter what was going on between the sects, Li Ming did not care.
Nevertheless, he was at least certain of one thing. A situation where you were surrounded by a late-stage foundation establishment cultivator with other foundation establishment disciples was bound to be very troublesome.
From what the red-robed young man told him, the location of this group of people was in a valley not far from Windstorm Town.
Li Ming did not think too much about it and turned around to leave.
But then, just as Li Ming turned around and started walking, the red-robed young man who was lying on the ground earlier suddenly erupted with strength!
The blood sword reappeared in his hand and he instantly thrust it at Li Ming’s back!
The sword swiftly moved toward Li Ming!
Then, at the moment when it touched is back and he felt the pain, Li Ming immediately reacted. He turned around and punched the young man!
“Shameless!”
This sword had nearly pierced through his back. If it was not for the fact that he had a strong physical body from his body cultivation foundation establishment realm, he would have been killed.
If he was merely an ordinary qi cultivation foundation establishment cultivator, this sneak attack would have kill him!
After all, this young man’s spiritual qi was strange and could devour blood essence.
If Li Ming’s body cultivation had not been up to par, this sword would have left him seriously injured or even dead!
Of course, although it did not cause him any serious damage, the attack still made Li Ming very unhappy!
As the saying went, one should not hit the face when hitting someone, and one should not stab the waist when stabbing someone.
This guy just had to come at his waist!
If he had not missed, Li Ming would have suffered a huge loss.
Although he was a cultivator, it was not easy to recover from internal damages.
Of course, what really irked Li Ming was that he had been backstabbed by someone who he had allowed to live. The young man had actually not appreciated his kindness and repaid it with an attempt at his life!
At this moment, Li Ming no longer hesitated!
He directly burst out with his full power and launched a fire fist right at the young man. His fist smashed right through the red-robed young man’s chest!
The young man died on the spot!
The anger that the young man had caused Li Ming had finally disappeared.
At this moment, Li Ming appeared much calmer.
Killing was a common occurrence among cultivators.
He should not have so many concerns when it came to such matters.
The people of the Heavenly Demon Sect were cruel and deserved to die.
Feeling relieved, Li Ming treated his wound.
Anyway, with the Restore Opportunity from that one purple entry, the small injuries he had incurred would not have much impact on him.
It was just that he had been made very unhappy by the pain from the sword.
In a valley about ten miles east of Windstorm Town, disciples of the Divine Will Sect had accepted a mission to investigate this location and eliminate the disciples of other sects.
Originally, the danger level of this mission was unpredictable.
As for the disciples of the Divine Will Sect, there were five of them and they were led by Lu Lan.
The strongest of them was only at the intermediate foundation establishment realm.
However, they were in a very troublesome situation at the moment.
A late-stage foundation establishment disciple of the Heavenly Demon Sect led a team of dozens of foundation establishment disciples and surrounded them. The five of them had already fought repeatedly and were already extremely exhausted.
They had consumed most of their spiritual qi, and under the encirclement of the other party, they had no chance to recover at all.
“Senior Sister Lu, what should we do now?”
“These guys have set up a perimeter around us. I’m afraid they will find our location soon.”
“I’m afraid it’s impossible for us to break out!”
The three disciples behind her were nervous.
Ever since they were surrounded by the people of the Heavenly Demon Sect, they had fought hard.
Although the five of them were all at the intermediate foundation establishment realm, Lu Lan was almost at the late foundation establishment realm.
Even so, the other party had dozens of foundation establishment cultivators and a late-stage foundation establishment Cultivator leading them.
This was not something they could win against directly!
If they continued to fight, they would ultimately die!
Lu Lan naturally understood that this mission itself was dangerous.
However, she did not expect her luck to be so bad. She actually directly encountered the main force of the Heavenly Demon Sect!
“Everyone, cheer up and take turns to rest.”
“No matter what, we can only persevere!”
“Perhaps there will be a fellow sect member coming to support us soon.”
Lu Lan tried to comfort the others. However, all of them knew that the chances of what she said happening were too small!
After all, this was a valley. They had run all around it, but no matter which direction they went, they were still obstructed by the disciples of the Heavenly Demon Sect!
Once they were found, even if reinforcements came, it would be difficult to win against the forces of the Heavenly Demon Sect.
They might even just end up implicating their fellow disciples!
“This mission is related to the sect.. As core disciples of the sect, even if we die, we cannot let them get what they want!”
