Hu Yunxi's impression +10

The saber energy was powerful and accompanied by lightning, making it difficult for an ordinary Great Perfection of the Acquired Realm cultivator to withstand.

Unfortunately, Xiao Ming was no ordinary person.

With a slight smile, Xiao Ming raised the Nu Lei Sword, a Earth-grade sword, in his hand. Then, the true energy within his body surged out, covering the entire sword body.

"Slash!"

Xiao Ming let out a soft shout!

The next moment, a massive sword energy, also accompanied by lightning and emanating a golden glow, shot out from the longsword in Xiao Ming's hand like an arrow leaving a bow, slashing towards the incoming saber energy.

"Boom!!"

A loud explosion!

The sword energy and saber energy intertwined once again, causing a chaotic current before both dissipated simultaneously.

However, this was only the beginning.

Lei Fang, from the opposite side, used some unknown movement technique. His figure flickered, surrounded by faint electric currents, and he charged towards Xiao Ming at an extremely fast speed.

In a flash, he arrived in front of Xiao Ming.

Then, he wildly swung the long saber in his hand, aiming directly for Xiao Ming's head.

Xiao Ming showed no fear, raising his sword to meet the enemy, unleashing brilliant sword lights one after another.

"Clang, clang, clang~"

For a moment, the dense sounds of metal clashing rang out, as if a hundred blacksmiths were hammering at the same time.

This was a contest of raw power and attack speed!

Whoever reacted slower might be cut down by the chaotic blades.

However, after a period of fighting, both were evenly matched, neither able to gain the upper hand.

Seeing that he couldn't suppress Xiao Ming, Lei Fang grew anxious and angry.

After another clash of saber and sword, Lei Fang was repelled more than ten meters away by the powerful force. He looked down and saw that his long saber already had numerous nicks.

These were all carved out during the weapon clash just now.

Seeing this, Lei Fang couldn't help but be stunned.

His long saber was a top-grade Yellow-rank weapon, not to mention its sturdiness, yet even so, it had so many nicks.

Didn't this mean that Xiao Ming's sword was even more powerful than his long saber?

And a weapon more durable than a top-grade Profound-rank weapon would at least be Earth-rank!

"Good kid, I underestimated you!" Lei Fang grinned and said, "Your sword is good, I, Lei Fang, like it!"

"Take another move from me, Triplestack Slash of Wild Thunder!"

Suddenly, Lei Fang roared again. As his voice fell, his long saber instantly unleashed more than a dozen saber shadows imbued with lightning, which then layered upon each other to form an even larger saber glow, striking Xiao Ming wave after wave.

Upon seeing this move, the subordinates of Lei Family Fortress around them immediately became excited.

"It's the Triplestack Slash of Wild Thunder!"

"This is Young Master Lei Fang's strongest trump card!"

"Haha, Young Master Lei Fang has been truly angered and used his strongest martial skill. That Spirit Sword Sect kid is definitely dead."

"Young Master is mighty!"

Excited discussions erupted around them.

Xiao Ming, however, was not too concerned.

With a thought, a phantom river of sword energy appeared out of thin air behind Xiao Ming. Under Xiao Ming's control, all of the Great River Sword Intent poured into the sword in his hand.

Gripping the longsword, Xiao Ming unleashed a furious slash!

Rumble!

A muffled thunderous sound suddenly echoed in the void. Accompanied by the piercing thunder, a crescent-shaped sword energy, over a meter long, imbued with lightning and golden light, shot out from Xiao Ming's hand!

Shattered Moon Slash!

Lei Fang used his strongest martial skill, and Xiao Ming also didn't hold back, unleashing his own strongest single-target martial skill, Shattered Moon Slash.

Great River Sword Intent + Lightning element power + Gold element power + Earth-grade sword + Sword skill Shattered Moon Slash!

With so many powerful forces converging, Xiao Ming didn't believe he couldn't kill Lei Fang!

As soon as this move was unleashed, Lei Fang's pupils instantly contracted.

His innate instinct told him that he probably couldn't block Xiao Ming's attack.

Indeed!

Under Lei Fang's shocked gaze, Xiao Ming's Shattered Moon Slash, like a hammer smashing a walnut, easily shattered his three layers of saber light one by one.

And then, with undiminished momentum, it continued to strike him with unparalleled sword might.

A strong sense of deadly crisis suddenly enveloped Lei Fang's heart!

Without thinking, Lei Fang immediately used his movement technique to evade rapidly, but it was slightly too late.

With a "Pfft" sound!

The crescent-shaped sword energy flashed past, and then, a bloody arm fell to the ground.

And Lei Fang appeared ten meters away to the side.

"Eh? He's not dead?"

Xiao Ming frowned.

He was very dissatisfied with the current outcome.

Although Lei Fang had an arm severed and was gravely injured, he had not perished.

In terms of the power of Shattered Moon Slash, it was enough to instantly kill Lei Fang with one move. However, at the critical moment just now, Lei Fang suddenly increased his speed greatly, dodging to the side at an extremely fast pace, barely managing to evade the destructive force of the sword energy.

Xiao Ming felt great regret.

But that didn't matter.

If one move couldn't kill Lei Fang, then he would use another!

At the same time.

Lei Fang, who had dodged to the side, felt a strong sense of relief.

Fortunately, he cultivated a formidable lightning-element movement technique; otherwise, he would have been blasted into a bloody mist on the spot!

And after the relief, a deep fear surged within Lei Fang's heart.

He was no match for Xiao Ming!

In his peak condition, he was no match for Xiao Ming, and now, having lost an arm and a large amount of blood and essence, he was even less able to fight Xiao Ming.

If he stayed here any longer, he would only face death!

Thinking of this, Lei Fang unwillingly glanced at the Little Fox Girl in the distance, then turned and ran.

He had no choice but to run!

"Where do you think you're going!"

Xiao Ming shouted lightly, immediately giving chase to the fleeing Lei Fang.

To kill a man, one must crush his bones; to cut weeds, one must remove the roots!

Although Lei Fang wouldn't pose a threat to him even if he escaped, Xiao Ming had no intention of underestimating him.

What if he managed to turn the tables?

Seeing Xiao Ming chasing closely, Lei Fang gritted his teeth, pulled out a large thunder pearl from hisPregnant, and threw it towards Xiao Ming.

"Explode for me!"

"Boom!!"

The thunder pearl exploded with a roar, like a dozen hand grenades detonating simultaneously. The explosion unleashed terrifying electric currents and a sky full of smoke.

After a few breaths.

Xiao Ming walked out of the smoke, annoyed.

He had just unleashed streaks of sword light, blocking the force of the explosion. Although he wasn't injured, it allowed Lei Fang to escape.

Lei Fang already possessed a sophisticated movement technique, making him extremely fast. With the delay caused by the exploding thunder pearl, Xiao Ming couldn't catch up.

"Damn it, you run fast!"

Xiao Ming cursed angrily and returned the way he came.

Upon returning to the original spot, the subordinates of Lei Family Fortress had long since fled, leaving only a group of rogue cultivators hoping to fish in troubled waters.

Seeing Xiao Ming return, these rogue cultivators all took a step back.

"What are you all doing here? Get out!" Xiao Ming roared.

The rogue cultivators shivered and scattered like frightened birds.

From the previous battle, it was clear that Xiao Ming was a ruthless individual. If they angered Xiao Ming, these rogue cultivators would not have a good outcome.

After dismissing the crowd, Xiao Ming looked at the Little Fox Girl, Hu Yunxi.

"Are you also here to snatch the Heavenly Pearl?" Hu Yunxi looked up and said, "I've already eaten the Heavenly Pearl, you won't get anything!"

Facing Hu Yunxi's questioning, Xiao Ming shook his head, "You're wrong, I'm not interested in the Heavenly Pearl."

After a pause, Xiao Ming added, "I helped you repel the people from Lei Family Fortress and saved your life. Is this how you treat me?"

Hearing this, Hu Yunxi was stunned.

Strictly speaking, Xiao Ming was her savior!

After a moment of silence, Hu Yunxi whispered, "I'm sorry, I misunderstood you. Um, thank you for saving me."

Almost simultaneously, the system's voice also sounded,

"The host has saved Hu Yunxi, the reincarnation of the Nine-Tailed Fox Emperor, unlocking the Favorability feature."

"Hu Yunxi Favorability +10!"
