Chapter 40: Battle with Zhang Hanxiao (This Chapter Is Exclusively Titled by <Qiao Sefu Qiao Si Da>)

Zhang Hanxiao, the first person to go on a mission in Qingyun Sect, is naturally very strong.

Although he likes to gamble and whore, he is indeed talented. He is less than 30 years old and has entered the middle stage of foundation building.

In Chixiao Peak, he is only slightly older than Mu Baishuang and Li Qingran, and his realm is not as good as Lu Changtian and others, but he has always been superior to Li Qingran. When he was still in Chixiao Peak, Li Qingran was often called by Zhang Hanxiao to be a sandbag, but he was never Zhang Hanxiao's opponent.

The swordsmanship they practiced is Chixiao Peak's unique swordsmanship - Xiao Wuxiang Sword.

Zhang Hanxiao's swordsmanship has been practiced to perfection. Li Qingran has been in Chixiao Peak for a short time. In addition, Taoist Qingxuan is in seclusion when he has nothing to do. He is not a particularly responsible master. She does not seem to have much talent in swordsmanship, so her progress has been very slow. It took three years to practice to a small success.

Facing Zhang Hanxiao, whose swordsmanship and internal skills are exactly the same and who is superior in all aspects, it would be a lie to say that Li Qingran does not feel any pressure in her heart.

But her hand was firmly on the hilt.

Holding the Suxian Sword.

"Li Qingran, I heard from Senior Brother that you managed to reach the Great Perfection of Qi Refining despite your damaged Dantian? What perseverance! How great would it be if you had worked so hard when you were still in Chixiao Peak? But you were fooling around all day back then, and it's too late to think about working hard now."

Zhang Hanxiao subconsciously wanted to draw out his flying sword, but he touched nothing.

He then remembered that the flying sword he usually used had been given to Mu Baishuang.

Now he only had a low-grade magic weapon, a broken flying sword that he would feel dull when he took it out to cut vegetables.

He pursed his lips and still took out the sword. This broken flying sword was enough to deal with Li Qingran.

"Li Qingran, I am in the middle stage of foundation building. With this strength, I will fight you, and even if I win, it will be unfair. How about this, I will suppress my cultivation to the Great Perfection of Qi Refining, just like you." Zhang Hanxiao pointed his sword at Li Qingran and raised his chin arrogantly.

Taoist Qingxuan, who was not far away, couldn't help but twitch his mouth, and his face became even gloomier.

Zhang Hanxiao, this idiot!

Li Qingran's Dantian is damaged and he has no spiritual roots. Even if he suppresses it to the Great Perfection of Qi Refining, isn't it still unfair? At least he should suppress it to the fifth or sixth level of Qi Refining, which can be considered fair on the surface.

How did he accept such a shameful idiot into Chixiao Peak?

Wu Duantian knew Taoist Qingxuan. This elder cared about face the most. At this moment, he saw that Taoist Qingxuan's face was as black as the bottom of a pot. He estimated in his heart that after today's matter was over, Zhang Hanxiao would probably have to face the wall at the cliff for half a year.

Facing Zhang Hanxiao's verbal provocation, Li Qingran did not speak.

Her sword was unsheathed, the sword light was like lightning, and her body was like a startled wild goose, and she rushed towards Zhang Hanxiao at an extremely fast speed.

"Junior sister, your first move, 'Jiao Zhitou', is not yet ready!" Zhang Hanxiao laughed loudly, leaped up, and slashed down with a sword in the air. Three sword shadows appeared in the air and gathered towards Li Qingran. The first move was the vicious killing move of the Xiao Wuxiang Sword - Gu Hongying.

Li Qingran looked at the three sword shadows that changed from real to virtual. She had been defeated by this sword move countless times before, but today it seemed not so difficult. Even if Zhang Hanxiao suppressed his realm, his sword skills were still sharp, but in her eyes, they became much slower.

Why...

Is it because of the peerless Dantian?

Doubts quickly turned into certainty.

The peerless Dantian is extremely rare. Even in ancient times, it was a sought-after existence. How could it not have some special features?

As his thoughts flew, Li Qingran caught the real shadow of Zhang Hanxiao, and the two swords collided with a clanging sound.

The smugness on Zhang Hanxiao's face froze. He knew Li Qingran's weaknesses, so he used a killing move that was always effective.

Unfortunately, his killing move failed.

There was a broken sword lying on the ground.

He looked down and saw that only half of the sword was left in his hand.

A low-grade magic weapon was cut off with just one strike?

Zhang Hanxiao looked at Li Qingran, who was standing a few steps away, in disbelief. She was holding a sword, and the flying sword in her hand was emitting a hint of coldness. The blade was like the dark night, the hilt was like the white moon, and the red sword tassel was swaying in the wind. This sword is definitely not Li Qingran's!

"The grade of that sword is not low." Sect Master Wu Duantian narrowed his eyes: "If I am not mistaken, this sword is at least a top-grade magic weapon. The sword body is as cold as a waterfall. Even among the top-grade magic weapons, it is the best one. If it continues to be nurtured, it will easily produce a trace of spiritual intelligence. At that time, it will be a spiritual weapon."

Taoist Qingxuan had a gloomy face, rubbing his fingers on the hilt, gnashing his teeth, and wished he could rush up and wipe Zhang Hanxiao with a sword.

Before, he felt that Zhang Hanxiao's victory was unfair and shameful. Now, he also felt shameful when he saw the broken sword in Zhang Hanxiao's hand. What if Zhang Hanxiao couldn't beat Li Qingran? Wouldn't it be even more shameful? Don't talk about whether it is a magic weapon or not. Weapons are also part of the strength of cultivators.

But this sword is indeed beyond the standard.

For them in the Spiritualization Stage, this kind of quasi-spiritual magic weapon is also ordinary.

But for cultivators in the Qi Refining Stage, the Foundation Establishment Stage, and even the Golden Core Stage, this kind of quasi-spiritual magic weapon is a treasure.

Such a top-grade magic weapon is given to a young cultivator in the Qi Refining Stage?

What is the relationship between the mysterious man and Li Qingran, and why did he help so much? Or is it that for this person, a mere top-grade magic weapon long sword is nothing, so he can give it away casually without worrying about whether it is a waste of resources.

Taoist Qingxuan was in a state of confusion, and the situation in the square in front of the temple had taken a sharp turn for the worse.

Without a weapon, Zhang Hanxiao didn't dare to fight Li Qingran head-on.

An inch longer, an inch stronger. The advantage of the flying sword also made up for Li Qingran's shortcomings in sword moves. Zhang Hanxiao tried his best to deal with it and wanted to consume Li Qingran's spiritual energy, but the longer he delayed, the more his spiritual energy was exhausted and fell into inferiority.

"How is it possible? If it were in the past, her spiritual energy would have been exhausted long ago!"

Looking at Li Qingran, who was full of momentum and not a bit tired, Zhang Hanxiao's heart was fluctuating, which also caused him to be distracted for a moment.

It is a taboo to be distracted in battle.

Li Qingran did not miss this opportunity. With a change of sword moves, the conservative attack suddenly became fierce.

The sleeves fluttered, like a butterfly.

The ninth style of the small Wuxiang sword - the shadows of the trees.

Her wrist shook, and the sword seemed to turn into dense spots of light left by the sun through the leaves, and it seemed to split into countless fragments, each of which was aimed directly at the vital point.

Li Qingran completely felt the difference in herself.

The swaying shadows of trees is the most difficult move in Xiao Wuxiang Sword Technique. She could not use it easily in the past, but today it was particularly smooth.

The top-grade Dantian not only improves her spiritual purity and spiritual energy reserves.

It also improves her comprehension!

Thinking of this, Li Qingran's eyes were slightly hot.

It is conceivable how precious the elixir is.

But the senior gave her the elixir just to help her restore her dantian...

Maybe the senior himself would also use the magic elixir, but he still used it on her.

"Senior, Qingran will not let you down!"

"Li Qingran, don't push your luck!" Zhang Hanxiao dodged in a panic, and the anger in his heart had accumulated to the extreme.

He no longer suppressed his cultivation, and formed seals with his hands, and his realm returned to the middle stage of foundation building.

And Li Qingran's sword also arrived!

The sword light was like a shadow, and the sky was full of broken gold.

With a scream.

Zhang Hanxiao's body flew backwards, rolling in the dust, his chest and limbs were covered with dense sword wounds, blood gushing out.

Three steps away,

Li Qingran sheathed his sword and stood with his head held high.
