The fear of death instantly enveloped Master Qi's heart.
In the crisis of life and death, his face had become extremely distorted, and blood mist suddenly erupted from thousands of pores on his body, surging on the surface of his body and quickly condensing into a blood globule, covering his entire body.
Ding Jin had used the same trick before, but was broken by Xuri's knife and died on the spot.
However, the defensive power of this move in Master Qi's hands was greatly improved. Lin Ze slashed it down with one strike, leaving only a gash on the blood ball and a cloud of blood mist evaporating.
Seeing this, his eyes flashed, he took a breath, and then swung his knife to kill again.
Sharp and short sword sounds suddenly erupted in the air, and in an instant, countless golden and red sword lights appeared, densely filling the void, unfolding like a gust of wind and rain, covering the entire blood cell.
At this moment, Lin Ze's level 4 sword skills were brought into full play. The sword light almost flew into a rapidly jumping ball of light and crashed into the blood cells.
The air trembled violently, and then blood cells exploded. Amidst the shrill screams, a figure suddenly shot out like an arrow from a string, and fled in panic into the distance.
Lin Ze's expression remained unchanged, and the breeze behind him suddenly rose. In an instant, he condensed into a pair of cyan wings, and he flapped his wings. His whole body flew out as fast as lightning, and he caught up with Master Qi in a few breaths.
Master Qi's face was now as pale as a vampire, with blood stains still remaining on the corners of his mouth, and his expression was full of horror and panic, completely missing the majesty and solemnity he had before.
Hearing the sound of breaking through the air behind him, Master Qi looked back and saw Lin Ze flying off the ground. He chased after him at high speed. Suddenly, the soul of the dead emerged and he said in shock:
"Wait a moment"
What answered him was the sharp sound of a blade tearing through the air.
Poof!
The golden-red soul knife passed by Master Qi's neck at high speed, and the huge head suddenly rose into the sky. Before the blood could splash out, it was evaporated by the terrifying high temperature into countless blood mist, which fell like morning mist.
A few seconds later, the head fell to the ground with a thump. Master Qi's headless body shook on the spot several times, and then fell to the ground with a crash, throwing up pieces of dust.
call!
The wind wings behind Lin Ze dissipated, and he landed lightly on the ground. His eyes passed over the corpses on the ground, and he couldn't help but let out a long breath.
Master Qi is truly powerful. If his spiritual energy had not greatly restrained his 'Blood Emperor', and coupled with the limitations of the combat environment, the final outcome would have been difficult to predict.
Simply put, at this time, his soul energy and spiritual energy are on the verge of exhaustion. If Master Qi still has the strength to fight again, it may be his turn to escape.
"After all, he is a 'Human Pillar' swordsmith whose strength is close to that of a hero. Even if his strength is weakened, it is not that easy to deal with." Lin Ze thought to himself.
Looking away from the corpse, Lin Ze looked into the distance, and a silver figure could be vaguely seen at the far end.
That is obviously Gao Mingliang’s ‘god man’!
From a distance, you can still see the smoke and dust billowing where the battle took place, which seemed very fierce.
Lin Ze had no intention of joining in the fun. He promised Peng Xianxi that he had already overfulfilled the task of holding Qi Shi for ten minutes. The next battle with Gao Mingliang was none of his business, not to mention that he was not suitable in his current state. Involved in a battle of that level.
Thinking of this, Lin Ze simply picked up Master Qi's head, turned around and walked slowly towards the settlement area.
After a moment, the silver figure in the distance disappeared, and the battle seemed to be over. Not long after, Lin Ze caught a glimpse of a figure from the corner of his eye. Peng Xianxi had already appeared seven or eight meters away, looking at him with a look of surprise. to him.
"It really surprises me, Lin Ze, I didn't expect you to actually kill Master Qi!"
"Where's Gao Mingliang?"
"Ashamed, I let him escape, but he was seriously injured and shouldn't be able to pose a threat to us in a short time!" After a pause, Peng Xianxi glanced at Master Qi's head held in Lin Ze's hand, shook his head and smiled.
He smiled and said, "When he learns about Master Qi's death, I'm afraid he won't dare to stay in the settlement anymore."
Lin Ze looked at Peng Xianxi secretly. Although the latter tried his best to hide it, his expression could not hide his fatigue, and his breathing was somewhat rapid and unstable. It was obvious that defeating Gao Mingliang cost him a lot.
But no matter what, the two of them won this battle, and the crisis of the Swordsmith Guild has now been resolved.
Returning to the headquarters of the Swordsmith Guild, the two parties were still facing each other. Without the orders of Peng Xianxi and the others, everyone present did not dare to start the battle anymore, so they could only stand there and glare at each other.
Among them, the guild's momentum was obviously weaker, and they obviously did not have much confidence in whether Peng Xianxi and Lin Ze could win.
Therefore, when Peng Xianxi and Lin Ze returned with Master Qi's head, many people stared with disbelief.
Immediately afterwards, everyone in the guild burst into cheers. On the other hand, the Autonomous Committee and the Blackstone Chamber of Commerce had pale faces and froze in place.
The elders of the guild who were more sensitive looked at each other and could see the surprise in each other's eyes.
Master Qi's head was carried by Lin Ze. What does this mean?
A shocking idea flashed through their minds, but they couldn't believe it until Peng Xianxi announced on the spot that Master Qi had been killed by Lin Ze. After Gao Mingliang was seriously injured and escaped, another round of uproar broke out among the crowd.
Without Qi Shi and Gao Mingliang, the remaining people could no longer afford to make trouble. The few who were still unwilling to resist were quickly killed by Peng Xianxi's thunder. The Autonomous Committee and the Blackstone Chamber of Commerce were no longer able to resist.
Guaiguai was taken over by the Swordsmiths Guild.
It is worth mentioning that Gao Mingliang did return to the settlement area afterwards, but just as Peng Xianxi expected, after learning about Master Qi's death, he made a prompt decision and took several of his confidants to escape from the settlement area overnight and into the depths of the wilderness.
Peng Xianxi immediately sent people to search, but unfortunately nothing was found.
The next day, the office on the top floor of the headquarters.
Lin Ze was sitting on the sofa. On the coffee table in front of him were four light yellow and transparent spiritual solution stones that were like amber.
"I'm sorry, all the Soul-Resolving Stones from the Blackstone Chamber of Commerce were taken away by Gao Mingliang. We only found the Soul-Resolving Stones stored in the Autonomous Committee's warehouse, three in total, and one as a reward for curing my injury." Peng Xianxi said with a smile.
.
After a day of recuperation, his face was much rosier and his expression was even more energetic. It was obvious that the growth of the Swordsmiths Guild made him feel very happy.
"Thanks."
Taking the spirit-resolving stones, Lin Ze absorbed them one by one on the spot, summoned his personal panel, and stared at the arousal level of the red lotus column without blinking.
9%!
%!
7%!
6%!
The awakening level increased by the four spirit-resolving stones gradually decreases, and finally increases the awakening level by 30% in total.
red lotus
"Finally over 50%!" Lin Ze secretly breathed a sigh of relief.
It is really difficult to increase the soul knife's awakening level. It took so long and so much thought, but now it has finally exceeded 50%.
"According to this decreasing rate, I can only absorb 0 spirit-resolving stones at most. If I absorb more after that, it may have no effect."
Putting it this way, there are not even 0 spirit-resolving stones in the entire Black Stone settlement, not to mention some of them were taken away by Gao Mingliang.
At present, only the Swordsmiths Guild still has the Soul Solving Stone left. Other than that, if you want it, you can only go deep into the wilderness to find it.
But no matter what, as long as the Spiritual Solution Stone has an effect on increasing the awakening level of the Soul Knife, Lin Ze will find a way to get it.
"President Peng."
Lin Ze suddenly raised his head and looked at Peng Xianxi, "The Swordsmith Guild should still have the spirit-resolving stone in its hands, right?"
Peng Xianxi was stunned for a moment, and then admitted frankly: "Yes, there is one more."
"Can you give it to me? We can discuss the terms of the transaction."
"no problem!"
To Lin Ze's surprise, Peng Xianxi agreed very simply, "I can give you the remaining spirit stone, but the condition is that you help us kill Gao Mingliang!"
Gao Mingliang?
Lin Ze was slightly surprised, and then he suddenly realized it after thinking about it for a moment.
The Swordsmiths Guild is planning to eradicate the problem.
After all, Gao Mingliang is a strong man who has broken through the tenth level, and he has a grudge against the Swordsmith Guild. If he is just allowed to live outside, he may one day develop into a serious problem, at least for the swordsmiths who are hunting outside.
It is a huge threat and must be eliminated as soon as possible.
"I am the only 'Human Pillar' swordsmith left in the settlement. For the sake of the safety of the settlement, I cannot leave for too long. But as for the others, even if they find Gao Mingliang, I am afraid they will not be able to deal with him. I think about it.
Go, you are the only one who is more suitable for this task, so I can only leave it to you." Peng Xianxi said seriously.
"I understand, deal!"
Lin Ze agreed without thinking for too long. In fact, even if Peng Xianxi didn't trade with him, he would still have to find Gao Mingliang. After all, the latter still held several spirit-solving stones in his hand. Peng Xianxi's deal was just for the sake of peace.
He gained another bit of motivation.
After the matter was agreed upon, Lin Ze stopped staying, said goodbye to Peng Xianxi and left.
After Lin Ze walked out of the office and closed the door, the guild elder who had been waiting beside him without saying a word frowned and said: "President, I don't understand why you gave him all the Spiritual Solution Stones. You can see Lin Ze's talent."
It's really scary. If he is allowed to grow smoothly, no one in the settlement will be his opponent in the future. Wouldn't it be very detrimental to the guild's rule?"
"That's right!" Another guild elder also agreed upon hearing this, "It can be seen from what happened before that Lin Ze has no attachment to the guild at all. Such a person is equivalent to an uncontrollable time bomb. The stronger he is, the more powerful he is.
, the greater the threat, it is better to nip this threat in the cradle while he is still not strong enough."
"That's not necessary!"
Peng Xianxi interrupted them directly, "Lin Ze is all about improving his strength and doesn't care about power at all. Don't worry that he will stand against us, let alone"
Speaking of this, Peng Xianxi couldn't help but sigh, "Although Master Qi and Gao Mingliang are enemies, without them, the strength of the settlement has been greatly reduced. At this time, a new human pillar can be added
'The Swordsmith is a good thing for the guild and the entire Blackstone settlement. We can't just focus on fighting for power, as that will push the settlement into an abyss of eternal destruction."
