♂?,,
The two men stared at each other, their eyes calm and composed, giving no hint that they were both on the verge of exhaustion. Lie Tong was thinking about whether to use his Soul Summoning technique again to kill this person, but he couldn't be sure if the other man had also exhausted his spiritual energy. If he launched another five consecutive slashes like before, he would put himself in danger, as his spiritual energy could no longer support his Heaven Shield. This move would be unwise. Wu Dao was also hesitating, his depleted spiritual energy making him uncomfortable. He had a move that he was sure would injure Lie Tong, but Lie Tong's Heaven Shield made him hesitant. If he was blocked, it was likely that he would be the one to die. The memory of Lie Tong's Soul Summoning still lingered in Wu Dao's mind.
The two were pondering each other's state, when Wu Daozi finally couldn't bear it and tentatively asked: "Fellow Taoist, since we both suffered injuries in this battle, why don't we recover first and then compete to see who wins?"
Lie Teng's eyes lit up, and he hastily nodded: "This is very good." Immediately, the two of them turned around without hesitation, ready to leave, but just as they took a step forward, they suddenly turned their heads back. Lie Teng's soul had already gathered in his hand, about to burst out, while a black pearl appeared in Wu Dao's hand. Seeing each other, they both paused for a moment, then exchanged a smile, like old friends who hadn't seen each other in years. Afterwards, they both stepped down from the arena, but this time, it wasn't to draw their swords, rather, they simply walked down from the arena.
This shocked the onlookers, who did not expect that both of their spiritual energy had been exhausted. However, this also made Lie Teng an object of fear in the hearts of many cultivators, as he was able to fight No Knife to such a degree, showing his extraordinary abilities. After returning to the stone steps, Lie Teng looked at No Knife sitting across from him, and at that time, No Knife was also staring at Lie Teng. The two exchanged a smile, but in their hearts, they were secretly regretful of missing an opportunity. However, after this, neither of them would take the initiative to find the other again.
Yan Yunlong glanced at Lie Teng, his eyes filled with surprise. He didn't ask Lie Teng anything, but instead closed his eyes. The red-haired young man and the woman in palace attire both cast a glance at Lie Teng, their eyes filled with astonishment. Although they had not fought against Wu Dao before, he was someone they deeply dreaded. At this moment, they couldn't believe that Lie Teng had actually managed to fight Wu Dao to a draw.
Lieteng gathered his thoughts, sat cross-legged and entered meditation. He took out two low-grade spirit stones, grasped them in his hands, and accelerated the recovery of his spiritual power. After using ten whole days, Lieteng finally recovered fully, having consumed four low-grade spirit stones. Fortunately, among the storage bags and savings rings he obtained from killing cultivators, there were plenty of spirit stones; otherwise, Lieteng would have felt a pang of pain. After recovering, Lieteng did not open his eyes but instead expanded his divine sense to survey his surroundings. He discovered that Wuknife had already woken up, occasionally glancing in his direction, while Yan Yunlong was challenging someone on the arena. Everything seemed normal, which made Lieteng breathe a sigh of relief. He was worried that opening the seal in the token would alarm the people of Shuoyan City, but it seemed there was no problem for now.
For the one who killed the most, Lieteng had no intention of going to the Driving Spirit Sect. After the incident with the Puppet Sect, Lieteng did not want to join any sects again. The sects were not as harmonious as imagined, but rather full of intrigue and infighting for benefits, with fellow disciples willing to kill each other. Moreover, Chen Hong had said that the opening of the Devil's Cave was still seven years away, which meant that two years had already passed, leaving five more years. Lieteng wanted to experience it once, but before that, his cultivation must reach the sixth layer of Gathering Spirit, in order to be qualified to go.
Five years, from the fourth layer of Ling to the sixth layer of Ling! Lie Teng also had no grasp, but in any case, Lie Teng would do his best to achieve it. According to Lie Teng's original plan, he would only stay in the Hunting Spirit Land for half a year, and now there were still three months left. Within these three months, he must devour two hundred soul spirits. Lie Teng calculated that even if he absorbed two hundred more soul spirits, his soul power might not necessarily advance to the next layer. However, Lie Teng also had no confidence in this, as the soul spirits seemed like a bottomless pit, and he didn't know how many he needed to absorb - two hundred was just his lowest estimate.
At that moment, Lie Teng opened his eyes and looked towards a certain cultivator on the arena who had defeated his opponent but hadn't returned to the stone steps yet. He then mounted his sword and flew towards him.
Lie Teng was fighting hard to kill the enemy in the land of hunting spirits, while two law enforcers from the Qu Ling Zong were arguing in the depths of Chi Yan City.
"Senior brother, why won't you let me go find that person? The token made by Li Tianlian is of the fourth layer of Jiling, and that person is in the fourth layer of Jiling. Let me drive him out and directly turn him to dust." The old man with a ferocious face spoke discontentedly to the white-haired old man.
"Junior brother, think about it, why would this person want to seize the soul? It's likely that they also have a Soul Beast. In recent years, the Soul Beasts of our Driveling Sect have become increasingly scarce, and even our Master doesn't have one. If we were to capture a Soul Beast and offer it to our Master, then neither of us would be allowed to stay here anymore. Moreover, if our Master is pleased, he might grant us a Broken Spirit Dan, and perhaps one day we can break through the sixth layer of Gathering Spirits and reach the stage of forming a dan within our lifespan." The white-haired old man said with a smile, his eyes filled with wisdom.
The fierce old man's face slightly relaxed upon hearing this. The two of them had been cultivating for over a hundred years, and as they approached the end of their lifespan, breaking through to the sixth layer of Jiling seemed increasingly hopeless. If they could obtain the Poling Dan, their chances of breaking through would increase by several fold. This was undoubtedly a temptation for countless cultivators who were stuck at the sixth layer of Jiling. The fierce old man licked his lips and said, "Elder brother, what if that person is not there?"
"None? Then kill him, I, the Driveling Sect, won't be short of that many souls either." The white-haired old man said calmly, with a hint of murderous intent flashing in his eyes.
At this time, Lie Teng's gaze was cold and piercing as he stared at a certain woman in palace attire on the stage below. The woman's smile seemed to contain something that stirred people's hearts, and every time she fought, each of her opponents would fall into a brief daze, which would ultimately lead to their demise. Moreover, Lie Teng discovered that once the woman began to use her charm technique, he couldn't look at her face, or else he would be finished. Lie Teng suppressed his curiosity and did not go to challenge the woman in palace attire.
This is already the third month that Lie Tong has entered the Hunting Spirit Territory. The number on Lie Tong's token has become "eighty-seven", and what Lie Tong has gained is extremely rich, with nearly a hundred low-grade spirit stones alone, as well as other spirit devices, a small amount of true devices, which Lie Tong hasn't counted in detail. All of these can be exchanged for spirit stones. As for the tokens obtained, there are nearly two hundred, all of which were obtained from the tokens of those he killed. Among them, half have been absorbed by Lie Tong. At this time, the seal within the token has no hindrance to Lie Tong whatsoever. The Soul Guide is many times stronger than before. Lie Tong guesses that according to his cultivation, the Soul Guide should be at a bottleneck stage.
However, in these three months, Lie Tong never clashed with Wu Dao again. The two seemed to have formed a tacit understanding, not looking for each other. Every time Lie Tong made a move, he would go challenge someone else, and after defeating them, he would return to the stone steps. This made those who wanted to challenge Lie Tong unable to do so as they wished. Suddenly, Lie Tong felt a fierce gaze upon him. He slightly turned his head and found that it was the red-haired young man staring at him. Lie Tong couldn't help but smile wryly. This red-haired young man would look at Lie Tong every now and then, almost as if he wanted to challenge him directly. It wasn't just this red-haired youth; many other cultivators also looked towards Lie Tong, some of whom were wary of him.
