Lingxu, Sword Coffin, Blind Swordsman

Li Guanqi looked at the black-clad figure before him with a calm expression.

The face hidden beneath the black robe was somewhat indistinct, yet one could see the other's deep eyes.

With a wave of his hand, he seized the storage ring from Lu Yi.

Standing not far away, Xue Yan watched Li Guanqi with a grave expression.

The feeling the other gave him was simply too dangerous.

That fear and unease that made his hair stand on end had been enveloping his entire body.

He raised a hand to touch the blood on his cheek, where there was a long wound, even tearing the black robe on his head.

Just now, if his reaction had been even a bit slower, he would probably have died in that surging sword light.

Beneath the black robe, his hands trembled incessantly, as he used the power of Geng metal to completely eliminate the scattered power of thunder.

Xue Yan, with sword-like brows and star-like eyes, stared intently at Li Guanqi, muttering in a low voice.

"What a strong guy!"

"Lu Yi... didn't die unjustly."

However, Xue Yan's appearance also caused countless powerhouses in the city to feel a jolt in their hearts!!

Even the old man behind Tang Ruo had a slightly solemn expression.

Because he had also heard of Xue Yan, although ranked thirty-ninth, seemingly only one place higher than Lu Yi.

But Xue Yan could be considered an anomaly!

Because his swordsmanship was extremely high, one could say he was a natural sword embryo.

After the Heavenly Mystery List was announced, many people speculated that if Xue Yan's realm were to improve further, he would definitely have the strength to break into the top twenty!!

And every ten ranks on the Hundred Strong List was a chasm.

It could be said that the strong within the previous ten ranks were enough to crush those in the next ten ranks.

And the top ten were also referred to as monsters by everyone.

The top twenty were enough to crush the so-called various geniuses!

Tang Ruo clenched his fists, muttering in a low voice with a solemn expression: "Xue Yan!..."

"So even he is someone cultivated by Second Brother?"

"Sure enough... they are all secretly cultivating their own forces!!"

Tang Ruo's words were naturally heard clearly by the old man, who looked deeply at the distant sky.

He bowed slightly to Tang Ruo and transmitted his voice: "Young Master, can this Li Guanqi..."

Tang Ruo suddenly turned to look at the old man, interrupting him: "No!"

His voice was mixed with a hint of annoyance!

Tang Ruo looked at the old man and said solemnly: "Elder Qian, remember, never have this kind of thought again, and don't show any condescension in front of him."

After speaking, he turned to look at the white-clad figure standing with a sword in the air.

"He is very proud at heart."

"Even if you want to win him over, you can only befriend him with sincerity."

"Believe me, being friends with him will definitely not be a loss!"

At the same time, Tang Ruo silently made a decision in his heart, regardless of the success or failure of the matter before him, he would do it!!

Li Guanqi looked up at the person in front of him and said softly: "Xue Yan?"

Xue Yan did not deny it, but raised the sword in his hand, bowed slightly, and said softly.

"I am Xue Yan, please enlighten me."

Li Guanqi didn't expect the other party to be so polite.

The surrounding crowd was bustling, and he naturally heard some scattered conversations.

He could also feel that the other party was very strong, and a fighting spirit surged in his heart for a moment.

However, he still said softly: "Are you... really determined to attack?"

Xue Yan was slightly stunned, he didn't expect this ruthless guy to ask him that.

He naturally understood the deep meaning of this sentence.

Under the black robe, Xue Yan took a deep look at Li Guanqi and grinned.

"Yes."

A hint of emotion flashed in Li Guanqi's eyes, and he said softly: "Will die."

Upon hearing this, Xue Yan's body suddenly stiffened, and then he tore off the black robe in front of everyone.

Xue Yan was wearing a dark blue robe, which was not luxurious and even a little plain.

Wearing a emerald green jade crown, his features were not handsome but very resolute.

A smile of unprecedented joy appeared on his angular face.

He looked at Li Guanqi in front of him and said softly: "No other choice."

He had been an orphan since he was a child, and the reason why he was able to have everything he has now was because of the Tang family.

When he stood on the mountain peak watching the battle, he understood that he was likely to be no match for the young man in front of him.

But he still stood here, because he is now...

Is repaying the debt.

Li Guanqi frowned slightly, he saw the complexity in Xue Yan's eyes.

He didn't expect the other party's answer to be 'no other choice.'

And there was also a flash of determination to die in his eyes!!!

Boom!!!!!!

A vast pressure suddenly erupted, and the extremely sharp Geng metal power instantly erupted.

The golden light was like a pillar of light reaching the sky, straight into the clouds!!

The terrifying air waves spread out wave after wave, and the surrounding crowd all looked awe-stricken.

An old man in the Nascent Soul realm widened his eyes and muttered in disbelief.

"Nascent Soul... Late stage!!"

"He has actually broken through to the late stage of Nascent Soul!!"

That's right!

Xue Yan had already broken through to the late stage of Nascent Soul during this period of hiding his whereabouts.

Tang Ruo sensed this extremely strong pressure and instantly turned to look at the old man behind him, asking quickly.

"What is Xue Yan's current realm!!!"

The old man's eyes narrowed slightly, and he said in a deep voice: "Late stage of Nascent Soul!"

Tang Ruo lowered his head, constantly muttering something, and then suddenly turned to transmit his voice to Li Guanqi in the air.

"If things can't be done, retreat!!!"

"Go!!! Xue Yan, who has broken through to the late stage of Nascent Soul, is strong enough to rank in the top twenty of the Hundred Strong List!!!"

Li Guanqi remained unmoved upon hearing this, standing in place looking at Xue Yan not far away and said softly.

"Is it worth it?"

What Li Guanqi wanted to ask him was, is it worth it to do this.

Xue Yan's eyes were full of complexity, although he could be considered an enemy with the person in front of him.

And the time of contact was very short, but he could feel that the other party really didn't want to kill him.

If... only he wasn't Tang Yan's death warrior...

Because the young man in front of him was someone he had admired for a long time.

He admired the young man's anger at drawing his sword and splashing three feet of blood in the face of strong enemies and injustice.

He admired his actions to establish a sect's style for the rise of the sect!

He admired Li Guanqi... doing whatever he wanted, everything was following his own heart.

So after he learned about Li Guanqi's deeds, he was full of admiration and curiosity for him.

It's just that he didn't expect fate to trick people, and the first meeting between the two was a confrontation with swords and soldiers, wanting to decide life and death...

Li Guanqi also saw the complexity in his eyes, that emotion was too complex.

So complex that he, who had experienced countless hardships in the world, could not understand.

Xue Yan's eyes were slightly moist, and his whole body's aura was raised again!!

Boom!!!

A young man in a dark blue robe slowly raised his sword, looking at Li Guanqi with sharp eyes and said in a deep voice.

"If you respect me... then use all your strength to kill! Die! Me!!!"
