Chapter 108

Yin Minjun only felt as if a piece of magma had surged into her Dantian, flowing through her extraordinary meridians throughout her body.

She tried to draw her sword, but not having adapted, the sword blade actually cut through the scabbard directly, emitting a hum.

Clang—

As the long sword swept across, the uncontrollable Qi left deep marks on the ground.

"This, this."

Yin Minjun couldn't believe it for a moment.

Hearing is believing, seeing is believing. Li Miao's martial arts, from Deng Baixuan's letters, and experiencing it personally were two different things.

There were methods of passing on power in the Jianghu, and the "Wedding Dress Divine Art" was one of them. Shaolin's secret pills and the Tantric sect's empowerment could all pass one's power to others.

But, these methods all required paying a huge price; after passing on the power, the light ones would lose all their martial arts, and the heavy ones would die directly.

And these methods all had varying degrees of loss; wasting a pinnacle expert would at most produce a first-rate one.

Who had ever heard of someone who could create a "half-step pinnacle" expert in a moment, while still being composed and not even flushed or out of breath?

Li Miao, however, smiled and waved his hand in front of Yin Minjun: "Elder Yin, come back to your senses."

"If you don't go save people, lives will be lost."

"Ah! Yes!"

Yin Minjun reacted, drew her sword, and with a flash, arrived at Lao Qifeng's side.

Lao Qifeng only felt a shrill wind sound beside him, and someone arrived at his side; the speed was so fast that he almost didn't have time to react.

"Such light-body technique, did Lord Li make a move?"

He thought secretly, turned his head to look, but was momentarily stunned.

"Elder Yin!?"

Yin Minjun didn't speak, raised her sword to her eyes, secretly circulated her Qi, and looked at the giant beast.

"Wild Goose Returns to Zhurong"!

This sword move was the most profound and powerful move in the Hengshan sect's sect-protecting sword technique, the "Hengshan Five Divine Swords."

With one sword strike, the scattered Qi actually blew down the falling leaves all over the sky.

Clang!!—

One sword seals the throat!

The Hengshan sword technique didn't pursue suppressing people with momentum like the Taishan sword technique, but was a sword technique that tended toward unpredictable and bizarre movements. It was precisely because of this that the Hengshan sect had many women.

But this sword strike was so swift and so sharp!

After cutting through the giant beast's throat, the remaining momentum was not exhausted, and it actually cut off the tiger head that Lao Qifeng had been hitting for a long time, leaving only skin and flesh wounds!

Lao Qifeng was stunned.

Yin Minjun was the number two figure of the Hengshan sect; he had dealt with her many times, and it wasn't as if he hadn't seen her make a move, which was just a standard first-rate level.

How could she suddenly have such a level of martial arts!?

With a figure like you in the Hengshan sect, did you still need to run far away to Qilu to participate in the Five Mountains Alliance? Wouldn't it be better to just dominate the Southern Wu Lin?

"No."

In an instant, Lao Qifeng reacted and turned to look at Li Miao.

Li Miao made a gesture of silence to him.

Lao Qifeng understood: "If it's the handiwork of Lord Li, who killed most of the Ming Cult in one night, then it's not strange."

"Truly miraculous! It's just that I don't know how such martial arts could only be a Battalion Commander?"

"Could it be that the imperial court, in order to hide Lord Li, deliberately didn't put him in the foreground?"

He was thinking secretly here, while Yin Minjun didn't stop her steps, flashed to the side of a leopard, and struck out with another sword move, "Crane Soars to the Purple Canopy."

Just now, she couldn't adapt to this vigorous Qi and used too much force.

But after all, she was also a first-rate expert of many years; after one sword strike, she already understood her current strength to some extent.

This sword strike went directly into the leopard's chest and abdomen, piercing its heart inside the chest cavity, and when she pulled out the sword, a blood fountain several feet high pumped up.

Without stopping her steps, she flashed again to the back of a gray wolf that was as high as a shoulder and struck out with another sword.

These beasts, including the Gu-soldiers in Taian City that day, were difficult to deal with because of their thick skin and flesh; ordinary first-rate experts couldn't break their defense in one or two hits, and coupled with their fearlessness and the Gu-poison in their blood, Wang Hai and the others were tied up when dealing with them.

Actually, if they encountered a pinnacle expert, these things wouldn't be of much use.

A pinnacle expert could break their skin and flesh in one move; their fearlessness would instead weaken their defense of vital points, and the splashed blood would be difficult to get on the pinnacle expert.

Therefore, with Yin Minjun's addition, the originally precarious situation was immediately reversed.

One sword meant one life; the Hengshan sect's sect-protecting light-body technique, "Ape Lord Somersault Cloud," was itself a movement technique famous for its speed in the Jianghu, and at this moment, used by Yin Minjun, it was lightning-fast and unpredictable.

Just at this moment, in the forest, a man hiding under a tree root felt his Gu-insects dying one by one, and his mind was shaken.

"How could this be! There are clearly no pinnacle experts present, how could they lose!?"

As the Gu-insects died, his mind was affected. While his heart beat rapidly, a wisp of blood also overflowed from his mouth.

"No, absolutely cannot let these people leave alive! Otherwise, my clan's inheritance will be in danger!"

"Very well, just leave this life here!"

With this thought, this Great Shaman didn't hesitate, reached out to take the poison from his bosom, and prepared to activate the Gu-insects to perish together with these Jianghu people.

Yet he heard a soft "thump" sound from behind him.

Following it was a chill spreading from his chest.

He lowered his head and looked at his chest.

There was a small hole the size of a thumb, which was now gurgling with blood, staining his clothes, flowing to the ground, and seeping into the soil.

He couldn't believe it and reached out to touch behind him.

Behind his back, on the tree trunk, were two small holes exactly the same as the one on his chest.

"Who..."

The last thought flashed by, and he collapsed to the ground, twitched a few times, and then there was no more sound.

Li Miao withdrew his finger and tucked it into his sleeve.

"Still want to risk your life? Your heartbeat was leaking out, did you think I couldn't hear it?"

"Profound Heaven Finger is really easy to use."

The Great Shaman died, and those beasts suddenly stiffened, unable to move for a moment.

Yin Minjun naturally wouldn't let go of this opportunity, struck out with her sword one after another, and killed them all in a moment.

Everyone was stunned by her performance and only reacted after a long while.

"Elder Yin, you were actually hiding so deeply!"

"That's right, that's right, if it weren't for Elder Yin, I don't know how many people would have lost their lives."

"The grace of saving a life is hard to repay. Elder Yin, there will definitely be a reward in the future!"

Everyone showered her with praise; Yin Minjun knew that this was not her own credit, and originally wanted to decline, but then thought of Li Miao not wanting to expose his martial arts, so she had to accept it.

Surrounded by many experts, Yin Minjun looked across the human wall at Li Miao, who was standing to one side with his hands in his sleeves.

Li Miao saw Yin Minjun looking over, smiled, stretched his hand out of his sleeve, and gave Yin Minjun a thumbs up.

Yin Minjun was actually flushed for a moment, at a loss for what to do.

It was Lao Qifeng who saw Yin Minjun's embarrassment and clapped his hands: "Alright, everyone, this is not the time to talk."

"I don't know if the Miao people have any other backup plans, our disciples outside the tomb are still waiting, and they must be anxious by now."

"Let's go first, and after reuniting with the disciples, we can talk about other things."

Everyone nodded one after another.
