Battle against the middle stage of Qi control! Elder Feng

"Ah!"

Li Jianshi, caught off guard, only had time to let out a cry of alarm.

She didn't even react to dodge!

The blade light was extremely fast, already within ten feet of Li Jianshi, about to cleave her apart on the spot!

It was at this critical and perilous moment.

A brilliant dark-golden sword qi suddenly shot out from the side, fiercely striking Elder He's blazing blade light, directly sending the blade light flying into the distance, where it then exploded with a boom.

At the same time.

Xiao Ming's figure flickered, pulling Li Jianshi and Ma Weiwei hundreds of meters away.

Only then.

Did Li Jianshi finally come to her senses; she was both shocked and angry, a layer of dense cold sweat already seeping from her back.

If Xiao Ming hadn't acted in time, she would have been blown to bits on the spot!

"Elder He! Why did you suddenly attack me?!" Li Jianshi couldn't help but scold, filled with lingering fear and incomprehensible confusion.

Lingxiao City had treated Elder He quite well!

After decades of acquaintance, their Li family had come to regard Elder He as their own kin, and Elder He had watched her, the City Lord's daughter, slowly grow up, living in harmony.

She never expected that when Lingxiao City faced peril, Elder He would actually betray them!

"What other reason could there be for him to attack you? Naturally, it's a betrayal of Lingxiao City," Xiao Ming said indifferently.

"That's not right," Elder He said with a chuckle, "It's not betrayal, but abandoning the darkness for the light, returning to my clan!"

"My surname isn't He at all, but Jin! I am the blood brother of Jin Lieri, the City Lord of Sunset City!"

"To tell you the truth, when I was young, I received a secret mission from my family, which was to infiltrate your Li family and gain your trust."

"Then, at the most crucial moment, I would strike in secret, assisting my family in destroying your Li family and even the entire Lingxiao City!"

Elder He spoke eloquently.

Then he sighed and said, "Your Li family indeed treated me well, I admit that. After decades of living together, I almost thought of myself as a member of the Li family."

"But alas, I am a Jin family member after all, burdened with a secret mission, and I must serve my family. If you have any grievances, then blame the unpredictable nature of this world!"

Upon hearing these words, Li Jianshi was both furious and enraged.

She had never imagined that Elder He, whom she had always respected, was actually an undercover spy sent by Sunset City!

No.

She could no longer call him Elder He.

But a thief of the Jin family!

"I have a question," Xiao Ming said at this moment, "Back in the Purple Bamboo Forest, you could have captured Li Jianshi. Why didn't you act?"

"Instead, you even pretended to be loyal and protective of your master?"

"That's because the time wasn't right," Elder He glanced at Xiao Ming and said angrily, "If it weren't for you, kid, suddenly showing up, Li Jianshi would have been captured alive by us long ago."

"But this is also good. After the incident in the Purple Bamboo Forest, I gained even greater trust from Li Yunxiao, and even managed to take charge of the City Lord's Mansion's defensive array."

"What? Father handed over the mansion's great defensive array to you to manage?!" Li Jianshi exclaimed in surprise.

"Of course. If I hadn't secretly opened the defensive array, how could our Jin family's powerhouses have invaded the City Lord's Mansion so quickly?" Elder He said proudly.

"Additionally, I secretly administered poison. Over the years, Li Yunxiao has been afflicted with an extremely subtle and potent poison."

"This poison isn't noticeable normally and has no effect, but as soon as Li Yunxiao tries to use his primal power, the overbearing toxicity will suddenly erupt, greatly restricting his strength."

Speaking of which.

Elder He said faintly, "Li Jianshi, your Li family is destined to be finished. If you know what's good for you, kneel and surrender now."

"I can promise you that I will definitely spare your life, and I will even take you as my wife."

"I endured for my family for so many years, and made so many contributions to the Li family. Now, marrying you, the delicate City Lord's daughter, can be considered my compensation!"

Upon hearing such shameless words, Li Jianshi was so angry that she laughed instead.

Ma Weiwei's teeth also ground together with rage, wishing she could rush over right now and stab Elder He a hundred times, leaving him full of holes.

Xiao Ming, on the other hand, sighed with emotion.

He lamented how unpredictable human hearts were!

The treacherous Cultivation Level was so complex that even an old companion of decades was an undercover agent sent by the enemy. What else could be trusted?

Fortunately, he would not trust anyone; he only trusted himself!

"Old scoundrel! You want to marry my cousin? Don't you even look at what kind of pathetic wretch you are!" Ma Weiwei stepped forward, gripping her thunder spear and roaring angrily.

"With me here today, don't even think about harming a single hair on my cousin!"

With that, the powerful aura of the Half-Step Royal Qi Realm surged fiercely from Ma Weiwei's body.

Seeing this, Elder He merely smiled.

"Although you little girl have some strength, it's not enough," Elder He sneered, then looked at Xiao Ming and said, "This kid is the truly troublesome one."

"After you, kid, came out of the Fire Domain Grotto-heaven, you actually advanced to the early Yuqi Realm, which is truly surprising. Your strength must be even greater now; you can probably contend with powerhouses in the middle Yuqi Realm, right?"

He paused, then continued,

"Guess why I'm telling you all this nonsense and revealing my background to you?"

As soon as his voice fell.

A terrifying aura, far surpassing Ma Weiwei's, suddenly swept out from somewhere in the distance, and then the wind howled as a martial artist in the late Yuqi Realm, riding the strong wind, rapidly approached.

In a brief moment, he arrived beside Elder He.

"I talked so much nonsense to you to stall for time," Elder He laughed heartily upon seeing his helper arrive, "I admit my strength is limited; I can't deal with this kid Xiao Ming, and I can't even suppress Ma Weiwei for a short period."

"However, now that a powerhouse of the late Yuqi Realm has arrived, how will you two cope?"

"Hahahaha!"

With that, Elder He burst into another fit of laughter.

Meanwhile, Ma Weiwei and Li Jianshi both took a step back.

A powerhouse of the late Yuqi Realm!

The two of them couldn't resist; now they could only rely on Xiao Ming.

Xiao Ming felt helpless.

He hadn't expected things to be so complicated; even Elder He had betrayed them. Lingxiao City and even the Li family were probably in dire straits, perhaps beyond salvation!

If he had known this, he wouldn't have gotten involved in this mess.

However, the tree desires calm, but the wind will not cease.

Elder He pointed at Xiao Ming and said to the late Yuqi Realm powerhouse, "Elder Feng, this is the kid who killed Ma Rulong, Worship Leader Ma! Don't look at his somewhat low Cultivation Level, but his actual combat power is quite terrifying."

"In all of Lingxiao City, apart from Li Yunxiao, this kid poses the greatest threat to us. I ask Elder Feng to go all out and eliminate this fiend!"

"Just a mere early Yuqi Realm cultivator. Even if he has some tricks, he can't stir up waves in this Elder's palm," Elder Feng said indifferently.

"Second City Lord, just stand by and watch. See how this Elder blows him up!"

With that.

Elder Feng pulled out a cyan fan from hisPregnant, wreathed with tiny wind currents. He held the folding fan and fiercely fanned it towards Xiao Ming!

The next moment!

A fierce wind howled!

Countless cyan wind blades formed out of thin air and assembled into a ferocious giant tiger, the size of a house, which roared and charged towards Xiao Ming!
