Liu Ming and Zang Xuan couldn't be said to have much of a friendship, but after all, they had teamed up once to fight against the enemy, so naturally they couldn't be said to be strangers.
After the two chatted for a few more words, Zangxuan also said goodbye and left.
Liu Ming stood there, pondering for a moment, and then stepped on a black cloud and flew towards Fangshi.
…
More than half a month later, Senior Brother Su, who was originally in charge of Bailian Pavilion, returned from his family early. After Liu Ming immediately explained to him, he went to the Bat Clan shop again and exchanged the condensed pills on his body for a large amount of Qing Ning.
Afterwards, he set off to return to Taiqing Gate.
More than ten days later, when Liu Ming walked out of a teleportation stone palace in Wanling Mountains, he looked at the familiar scenery in front of him and left with a smile.
Not long after, he first went to the Xuan Palace and handed over the task, then drove the clouds to the Life and Death Pavilion and handed over the head of the Yin Yang Giant Demon.
Although the head has regained the appearance of a young man, I don’t know what kind of secret technique the deacon of the Pavilion of Life and Death used to make the head instantly regain the appearance of a giant man’s head with a yin and yang face.
After the deacon confirmed the authenticity of the head, he naturally showed a surprised expression and gave him a reward of 30,000 contribution points on the spot.
…
"Brother Liu, long time no see!"
As soon as Liu Mingfang returned to the sky near Piaohongyuan and was about to return to the mountain peak where his cave was located, he happened to encounter a person flying towards him.
It's Yan Ming.
"It turns out to be Brother Yan, why don't you see Junior Sister Xueyun?" Liu Ming naturally stopped and said calmly.
"Brother Liu, what are you talking about? Junior Sister Xue is practicing in her cave at the moment. I heard that in the past year or so, Brother Liu has been away on missions, and even Xiao Bi did not participate." Yan Ming said with a blush on his face when he heard this.
"There are some important things that need to be dealt with before I leave. There is nothing we can do about it." Liu Ming heard this and replied with a smile.
He has been staying in Changyangfang City for more than half a year. Counting the time, Xiaobi did end not long ago.
"By the way, Brother Liu may not know that your cave aura is rich and was originally one of Xiao Bi's rewards. After Xiao Bi, he was rewarded to Luo Geng, Xiao Bi's fifth-ranked senior brother." Yan Ming said.
Turn around and talk about another thing.
Liu Ming was startled when he heard this. When he first started, the disciple who led him to choose the cave had indeed said this.
Although he now has various spiritual pills to assist him in his cultivation, this cave spiritual energy is still of great use to him, so naturally he cannot give up like this.
Liu Ming immediately asked about the matter in detail with a serious look on his face, then flew away with his hands clasped in fists.
Yan Ming looked at the back of Liu Ming who was walking away, but he showed a thoughtful look on the spot, and finally murmured:
"We haven't seen each other for such a short time, but the aura of Junior Brother Liu has become more and more unfathomable. Luo Geng is also a powerful character. I wonder which one of the two can be better?"
After saying this, Yan Ming left in a hurry.
…
When Liu Ming appeared in front of his cave, the stone door was suddenly closed, but the restrictions above did not appear to be open.
Liu Ming has lived in this cave for several years and is very familiar with everything here. After looking around for a moment, he knew that someone was inside.
"Bang bang..."
Liu Ming immediately knocked on the stone door with a slight flick of his fingers.
Not long after, the stone door opened from the inside. A young man with bronze skin walked out, glanced at Liu Ming, and immediately frowned and asked.
"Who are you? What's the matter?"
He obviously looked very dissatisfied with being disturbed.,
"My lord, Liu Ming, you should have heard my name." Liu Ming said calmly.
"Oh, it turns out it's you, the guy who originally occupied this cave!" Luo Geng was startled at first, but then he narrowed his eyes and his tone suddenly became extremely cold.
"Since senior brother knows me, he should have guessed why I came here today. I have lived in this cave for a few years and am already used to it. I wonder if senior brother can return the cave to me. In exchange, I am willing to pay Luo
Brother, I will give you three hundred thousand spirit stones as compensation." Liu Ming asked calmly.
"Huh, three hundred thousand spirit stones is a great fortune for a monk in the liquid condensation stage. It is enough to buy a good high-grade spiritual weapon. But it is a pity. I don't lack this little spirit stone. I don't think so.
The cave is very satisfied and has no plans to let him out again." Luo Geng's face darkened when he heard this and he refused without hesitation.
"Where are the five hundred thousand spiritual stones?" Liu Ming's expression did not change at all.
"Hmph, Junior Brother Liu is really quite wealthy, but I advise you to find another cave as soon as possible to avoid being homeless at night." Luo Geng smiled coldly, turned around and walked back.
"In this case, I have no other choice, so please move to Brother Luo and meet at the martial arts arena." Liu Ming raised his eyebrows and said.
"What did you say!" Luo Geng paused when he heard the words, turned around with a sigh, and his eyes instantly became extremely gloomy.
"According to the rules of the outer disciples, every disciple who is away from home to deal with sect affairs and does not participate in the competition has the right to challenge the top ten disciples in the competition within half a year. If he wins,
Then I can get the reward of his small competition. Unfortunately, this rule applies to me, and I want to challenge Brother Luo. If I win, this cave will naturally belong to me." Liu Ming's tone was also cold.
Although the person in front of him also has the late-stage cultivation of Condensation, but after going through all the twists and turns in Changyangfang City, he is naturally too lazy to waste time when facing a cultivator of the same level.
"Hehe, it seems that my name, Luo Geng, is not loud enough in the courtyard. A little guy who has just started for a few years dares to challenge me. Very good, I agree." Luo Geng sneered a few times and agreed.
It's not like he has never heard of Liu Ming's name before. It is said that he is somewhat famous. But he is more confident in his own strength.
Hearing this, Liu Ming nodded, immediately made a seal with one hand, and flew towards the main hall of Piaohongyuan with a ball of black energy under his feet.
Luo Geng's body swayed, turning into a white ball of light and followed closely.
A quarter of an hour later, the two of them appeared in a martial arts arena near the main hall of Piaohongyuan.
This martial arts arena is a hundred acres in size, and is filled with about a dozen large and small fighting arenas, which are usually used by outer sect disciples to compete with each other.
There are four ancient stone pillars standing at the four corners of the arena, with their surfaces engraved with various runes.
It was noon at this moment, and there were many Piaohongyuan disciples staying here.
Not long after, Liu Ming and Liu Ming stood on a stage and faced off against each other under the supervision of a crystallization stage deacon who had been waiting here.
People around him quickly discovered what was going on here and gathered around.
"Hey, isn't that man Luo Geng, who ranks fifth in the competition?"
"Senior Brother Luo wants to duel with someone here? Who is his opponent?"
"I haven't seen that Tsing Yi disciple before. Is he a newbie? But he is quite courageous if he dares to duel with Senior Brother Luo."
In just a moment, hundreds of Piaohongyuan disciples were already gathered around the arena. What's more, they seemed to have received the news and rushed over from outside. At this moment, they all turned their attention to Liu in the arena. Ming body.
Luo Geng was also considered a celebrity in Piaohongyuan, and since Liu Ming had only participated in the Little Flame Realm trial once, most of these old disciples naturally felt unfamiliar and showed curious expressions.
"My disciple Liu Ming was away on a sect mission and was unable to participate in this competition. I hereby launch a formal challenge to Luo Geng, who is ranked fifth. The winner will receive the competition reward." This Crystal Deacon is a forty-year-old The next-year-old man with a long beard flew over the ring in a flash and loudly announced the reason for this fight.
As soon as this statement came out, the onlookers in the audience suddenly started talking in an uproar. Many people pointed at Liu Ming, and some looked at Luo Geng with a strange look.
Luo Geng seemed to be aware of this, and his face couldn't help but look ugly.
"Although you all should know the rules, I still have to say it again here. This challenge is not a life-and-death duel. The one who admits defeat or is eliminated outside the ring is the loser. No one is allowed to hurt anyone's life. Violators will be punished according to the rules. Also, if I think the outcome of the fight has been decided, I will force it to stop." The long-bearded man looked at the two people on the ring and said in a cold tone.
Liu Ming nodded when he heard this. Luo Geng on the other side said nothing, but looked at Liu Ming with a fierce look on his face.
When Deacon Huajing saw this, he didn't say anything more and waved his hand to shoot out a green light in four directions.
The runes on the stone pillars at the four corners of the arena glowed with brilliance, and a dark blue light curtain emerged, quickly covering the entire arena.
"The competition begins!" After all this was done, the bearded man ordered.
Luo Geng flipped one hand, and a gray long sword flashed out from his waist, circling around and flying.
The sword itself is already three feet long. It can no longer be regarded as a flying sword and can be classified as a large sword.
"This sword is the top-notch spiritual weapon that Senior Brother Luo made so famous in the competition, the Six Desolate Sword." Someone in the audience suddenly exclaimed.
Luo Geng pointed out, and the three-foot long sword suddenly turned into a gray sword light and shot towards Liu Ming as fast as lightning.
Seeing this, Liu Ming's eyes flashed, and his hands suddenly clenched into fists. Immediately, billowing black energy suddenly emitted from his body. With a low cry, he suddenly punched out against the sword light.
There was a muffled "bang" sound!
The gray sword light suddenly dimmed and shot back after one punch.
"Huh!"
The expression of surprise on the face of the deacon elder in mid-air disappeared for a fleeting moment. He concentrated on sweeping away the black energy on Liu Ming's body, and a trace of understanding flashed in his eyes.
When Luo Geng saw that the top-quality spiritual weapon he relied on was punched back by the opponent with his bare hands, Luo Geng was also shocked. Then his eyes flashed with a sharp look, and he pointed out again, and at the same time he muttered something.
The gray sword light circled fiercely and struck at Liu Ming again.
There was a sound of "chichi"!
Under the intense gray sword light, dense gray sword threads suddenly appeared and shot down towards Liu Ming.
