Mortal Mirror

After thinking for a while, Li Ergou decided to go and take a look. After all, with his current cultivation level, he wasn't afraid of anyone. Even if the opponent was incredibly strong, he could at least run away if he couldn't win.

With that thought, he didn't hesitate and headed straight out of the city.

The Small Stone House was a City God Temple located outside Baojing Prefecture City. Because the temple was carved from a single large stone, it was also known as the Small Stone House.

This Small Stone House looked ordinary and was quite remote. Over time, its incense offerings dwindled, but it had many strange and bizarre legends.

When Li Ergou arrived, he didn't see anyone. Just as he was wondering,

a figure emerged from behind the Small Stone House.

This person wore a cat mask, and Li Ergou couldn't tell who it was. He tentatively asked, "Are you the one who sought me out?"

The masked man nodded, looked at Li Ergou for a moment, and then said in a cold voice, "I am the one who sought you out."

Li Ergou found it strange. This person was mysterious and he didn't know what they wanted. He was a little annoyed, but still patiently said, "Who are you, and what do you want from me?"

"Who I am is not important. What's important is that I'm here to tell you something."

Li Ergou found it both ridiculous and strange.

"What is it? I'm busy and don't have time to listen to your long-winded lectures."

The man wasn't annoyed and instead said, "From now on, don't participate in the Strongest Constable competition anymore. Return to Fish City, be a constable, and enjoy your life as a wealthy man. That's the life you should have.

If you do that, I guarantee you'll live comfortably for the rest of your life. What do you think?"

After hearing this, Li Ergou opened his mouth wide, and said in disbelief, "You came all this way just to advise me on this? That's utterly ridiculous! Do I, Li Ergou, need you to tell me what to do?

And what makes you think you can protect me for the rest of my life?

Are you stupid, or do you think I'm stupid? You think a single sentence will make me go back to my hometown? I want to know what makes you think you can do that."

The masked man's tone became impatient. "Don't be ungrateful. I'm already giving you a lot of face by advising you. If you don't listen, your ending will be miserable, even death.

Don't force me to take action."

Li Ergou felt that the matter was becoming increasingly confusing. "Who exactly are you? Tell me, so I can at least have some idea. Otherwise, why should I believe your one-sided words?

Did the constables send you here?"

The masked man was slightly stunned, not expecting Li Ergou to think that way, but he quickly shrugged it off and shook his head. "I can't tell you my identity, but you have to listen to my words whether you want to or not. I'm not advising you now, I'm warning you."

As soon as he said this, an immense pressure came crashing down on Li Ergou.

The pressure was incredibly powerful, and Li Ergou frowned. "A Nascent Soul cultivator."

"It's not too late for you to know. Now, I want to know your answer."

Li Ergou snorted. "Answer? I'll tell you then. I, Li Ergou, fear neither heaven nor earth! Do you really think a Nascent Soul cultivator is invincible? To be honest, I really want to see if my fighting strength can match a Nascent Soul cultivator."

A look of surprise flashed in the masked man's eyes, then his eyes narrowed slightly. "Arrogant! Truly, ignorance is fearless. Since you want to die so much, then I'll grant your wish."

Li Ergou suddenly felt the surrounding air tighten, as if it were being compressed by a huge force.

A flash of annoyance appeared in Li Ergou's eyes. He thought, 'I haven't provoked anyone, nor have I harmed anyone. Who is it that wants me dead?' Does the guy in front of me really think he's invincible just because he's a Nascent Soul cultivator?

If he hadn't reached the Golden Core stage and hadn't refined his Natal Flying Sword, he would have agreed to this person's conditions without hesitation, or just run away.

But now? Does he really think his dual cultivation of body and magic is fake?

The masked man was slightly surprised. This Li Ergou was just a Golden Core cultivator, yet he was so calm in the face of him. Could it be that he really had something to rely on?

It was just a pity that he, as a third-generation disciple of the Bai family, didn't know why his third uncle, Bai Tianlong, insisted on him dealing with this kid. They had no grievances or enmity, yet he had to kill this person for no reason. It was truly baffling.

But alas, he had to listen to his third uncle's words. He looked at Li Ergou and could only say in his heart, 'Kid, don't blame me. It's not that I want to kill you, it's that you want to die yourself.'

With that thought, he circulated his Xuan Gong and reached out, a huge palm print condensed in mid-air and pressed down on Li Ergou without hesitation.

The power of a Nascent Soul cultivator was several times stronger than that of a Golden Core cultivator.

However, cultivation level and fighting strength couldn't be equated, especially after a cultivator entered the Golden Core stage, the fighting strength became even more complex.

Because everything depended on the individual. For example, a sword cultivator with a Natal Flying Sword could unleash several times their normal fighting strength once they used it.

For example, the level of the cultivation technique one practiced also had a great impact.

After all, the higher the level of the technique, the greater the power. Like martial arts, how could a technique cultivated from a peerless martial art compare to an ordinary technique?

Also, one's usual combat experience had a great impact, or those reclusive cultivators who only sought immortality and didn't fight with others, their fighting strength was even weaker.

Unless those cultivators who crossed two levels or higher, would a crushing situation occur. Otherwise, with a one-level suppression, who would win or lose was still unknown.

That's why Li Ergou was fearless. Unless the Nascent Soul cultivator in front of him also had extraordinary cultivation, Li Ergou was really not afraid of him. After all, he also had many trump cards.

Before he could think too much, the Nascent Soul cultivator's power had already pressed down.

Li Ergou raised his hand and threw a punch, the shadow of the fist carrying terrifying power, colliding with the palm print. After a loud bang, the fist shadow and the palm print disappeared at the same time.

The masked man was slightly surprised. Although he had just casually waved his hand, it wasn't something a Golden Core cultivator could easily withstand.

But he could see that Li Ergou had just made a tentative strike. It seemed that this Li Ergou was really no ordinary person.

He couldn't help but take it seriously. With a thought, a blood-red long saber floated out from his body, and then he reached out and grabbed the saber.

At that moment, the saber emitted a faint red light, dazzling and incomparably, especially under the night sky, it appeared somewhat妖异.

Li Ergou didn't expect this person to be a saber cultivator, a Nascent Soul saber cultivator. If he had cultivated his own saber domain, that would be a very formidable existence.

Although he had never seen a real saber domain, he could only hope in his heart that this guy hadn't refined his own saber domain.

The masked man held the precious saber and sighed. "My saber is called the Bloodthirsty Mad Saber. Once it's drawn, it won't return without drinking blood.

Kid, you forced me to do this. If you die, don't blame me for being ruthless."

The man no longer hesitated, and the blood on the saber flashed again, slashing towards Li Ergou with a single strike.
