Tongfeng Town has a population of just over a thousand, and is surrounded by farms filled with smoke and yellow and green fields.

There is a main street in the town, with some grocery stores, restaurants and inns scattered here and there.

Jin Ziming inquired about it and found out that there were two small shops selling mountain products here.

He picked out seven first-order beast cores from his luggage and put them into his arms, walked into the relatively larger shop, and said to the middle-aged man at the counter:

"Boss, I have hunted down several first-level monsters. Do you want to collect the beast cores? What is the price?"

"Brother, please show me the condition first." The boss looked happy and said quickly.

Jin Ziming placed the seven beast cores on the counter. Each one was full of color and had a faint ferocious aura.

"To be honest, the quality is not bad, but a few of them have weak auras, and they should only be weak among the first-order monsters.

Let’s do this, I’ll pay three hundred taels of silver for each of these seven, and I’ll take them all.”

Jin Ziming glanced at him and said:

"No bargaining, three hundred and fifty taels, plus a piece of news."

"Okay, but only if I know the news." The boss hesitated for a moment and then said quickly.

"I am a monk in the Qi refining stage and want to join a cultivation sect. Can you give me a clear path?"

"Brother, as far as I know, the super sect in Zhongshengzhou is the strongest, but there is no way for casual cultivators like us with low cultivation levels to join.

In our big cities in Xijinzhou, there are also some major cultivation sects. I don’t know which sects are more powerful.

When I sold a batch of goods last month, I heard someone say that there will be a large sect recruiting disciples in Delong City. You can try your luck.

However, Derong is more than 20,000 miles away, and if you go there on foot or on horseback, you probably won't be able to catch up." The middle-aged man sighed.

"Thank you, boss. I wonder if there is a faster way to reach Derong City. Please tell me." Jin Ziming cupped his hands and said.

"I do know that going south from Tongfeng Town, there is Zhanxing City. There is a teleportation formation that is only open to monks. It can reach Derong City directly, but the price is really high."

"I'm sorry, boss, I'm very ignorant. What is the teleportation formation?" Jin Ziming asked doubtfully.

"I have only sat through it once. I heard from the foundation-building monks that the teleportation array is a space array activated by spiritual stones. It can teleport people to distant places in a very short time."

"Oh", Jin Ziming didn't understand either, so he had to write it down first.

He thanked the boss, collected the banknote, went to the town and bought two horses, and began to dine and sleep in the open air. The two horses took turns to ride on each other, and headed towards Zhanxing City with the stars and the moon.

On the fifth day after leaving Tongfeng Town, the white horse galloping in the wilderness suddenly screamed and fell to the ground.

Jin Ziming on the horse was thrown away, while another brown horse dragged the white horse, which could no longer move and had to stop while roaring.

Although Jin Ziming didn't take precautions, his inner energy still helped him glide in the air, and then he landed firmly on the ground.

A sound of "Hey" came from high in the air behind me.

"You have reached the advanced stage of Qi refining so quickly. The people from the Black Dragon Society are right. What Boss Jin left for you is really a treasure."

A man flying with a sword slowly fell from the sky. He was tall and burly. Although his appearance was ordinary, his eyes were piercing, giving people a great sense of oppression.

"From the Honghai sect?" Jin Ziming asked.

"You guessed it right. It's really not easy to find you. Fortunately, I went to that town and used a magic weapon to capture a trace of your aura.

If you are really asked to run to Delong City to join a third-level sect, then I will have nothing to do with you. Fortunately, I caught up with you in time." The man said happily.

"Early stage of foundation building?"

"Haha, I guessed wrong this time. I am at the peak level of the middle stage of foundation building.

If you have any ability, just use it quickly. If I attack, I will basically leave no one alive." The man said with a joking smile.

Jin Ziming has been killed for a long time. Although he knows that he has met the strongest opponent, he still remains calm in his heart.

The silver-winged flying snake that wounded him in the dark forest was also at the middle level of the second level. Wasn't it also killed by him in the end?

Although humans can practice exquisite moves and often have better combat power than monsters of the same level, if they give it a try today, they may still have a chance of survival.

Jin Ziming deployed the "Virtual and Real Whirlwind Knife" and took the initiative to attack.

Seeing that his sword skills were crude, the opponent simply swung his sword, wanting to test his prowess.

Unexpectedly, Jin Ziming used weak force. After the sword energy slightly deflected the long sword, the sword light suddenly appeared and he slashed towards the man's shoulder with his backhand.

The man said softly "Hey" again, and his body floated backward to avoid the vicious knife.

"It's interesting." The man couldn't help but praise.

Then he flew forward, and the tip of the sword kept trembling under the stimulation of the inner energy, and sword flowers flashed out.

With the cooperation of ghostly movements, Jin Ziming had no way to dodge, and even didn't know how to parry. Only then did he realize the huge difference between the foundation-building monks and the second-level monsters.

He could only bite the bullet, open all the external acupuncture points, roar the self-built channels in his body, and together with his Dantian, desperately inject energy into Leng Yuezhong.

Then he didn't watch the opponent's sword moves, and just performed the actual moves in the "Virtual and Real Tornado Sword" in the area covered by the enemy's sword, letting Leng Yue weave an airtight knife network in front of him.

The sword flower pierced the grille, and the continuous sound of weapons clashing sounded. Jin Ziming was shocked and took six or seven steps back before he could stabilize his body.

The sword cultivator on the opposite side was actually forced to fly backwards before he could get rid of the strong force.

"The inner energy and strength are good, so I will try my best."

After two consecutive moves failed to please him, the man's face became a little confused.

He flew forward again, and this time, the long sword in his hand suddenly turned into a soft sword.

Clearly stabbing at Jin Ziming's abdomen, Leng Yue had just blocked it, but unexpectedly the sword spun around and stabbed into his left shoulder like a poisonous snake. Immediately, a bloody hole opened there, and sword energy rushed in, trying to destroy his vitality.

.

Jin Ziming frantically ran the second and third levels of the "Blood Refining Body Tempering Technique" to force out the fierce sword energy.

But this was just the beginning. The soft sword was erratic, sometimes turning, sometimes stabbing straight, sometimes vibrating like waves, pricking more and more holes in Jin Ziming's body.

Although his vitality was strong, his "Blood Tempering Technique" could no longer resist the intrusion of more and more sword energy. Moreover, after losing too much blood, the scene in front of him began to become blurry.

As his right chest was opened again, he could no longer hold on and was thrown away by the surging sword energy. Blood was already gushing from the wound.

Jin Ziming stumbled up and his eyes became even more dizzy. He could only vaguely see a figure walking slowly in front of him.

"Are you going to die here? Lao Jin's revenge has not been avenged, my dream of sword cultivation has not been realized, and the fairy has not yet owned it, I am not willing to accept it!"

His grief and anger made him look up to the sky and scream.

Jin Ziming's main external injuries are extremely serious now. Although the sword energy is raging in his body, the "Blood Refining Body Tempering Technique" still tenaciously protects his heart, Dantian and main organs. He still has 70% of his vitality left, and his soul power is also very consumed.

few.

What is needed most right now is calmness. As long as you stay calm, there may be a glimmer of hope.

Since his eyes could no longer participate in the battle, Jin Ziming simply closed his eyes and used his soul and special ear power to sense the enemy.

With the cooperation of the two, he could actually clearly "see" the sword cultivator coming with a ferocious smile in his mind.

Seeing that the hunched bloody man had closed his eyes and looked resigned to his fate, the man felt bored and decided to end the battle.

The sword light flashed and moved towards Jin Ziming's neck. Unexpectedly, the dying man just used his bowed body to complete the fullest charge of power.

His body suddenly shot out like an arrow from a string. Not only did he avoid the attack of the long sword, but he also stabbed the attacker's left rib with one knife, breaking two bones and at the same time pouring the cold sword energy into it.

The sword cultivator screamed miserably and flew his body to the right side, thus avoiding more severe injuries.

The man stopped in the distance, took out an elixir and put it in his mouth, then put a piece of ointment on the wound, and then gritted his teeth and said:

"Boy, you've completely angered me. Now don't even think about dying. I'm going to shave you alive."

Jin Ziming gasped. He tried his best with this sword, but even though the other person was not careful, he still failed to inflict serious damage on him, which made him feel a sense of despair.

But with his bloody nature, a man can only fight to the death, and will never accept his fate or give up.

Jin Ziming forcibly used the "Blood Refining and Tempering Technique" to repair the bloody wounds, but the wound that had just been stabbed in the chest by the sword was too big, and the blood could not stop pouring out.

An increasingly strong sense of dizziness came over him, and the trauma had left him unconscious.
