Late at night, in the City Lord's Mansion.
Qu Xinran stood in front of his desk, picked up a brush, and wrote "Chi" on the desk.
At this moment, his face was also very ugly. The reason was that he had no money!
That's right, the City Lord was now worried about money.
He sighed deeply and said to himself, "Alas, I didn't expect that Bao Pengyi would deliberately build a fake secret room!
No, I must find a way to find his private treasury. Otherwise, I won't be able to collect the promised salary for the City Guards next month! "
Leng Shiqi, who had been lurking under his study, heard this and understood Qu Xinran's approach. "It turns out that he took out all the money in the City Lord's Mansion to issue an assassination mission for Bao Pengyi in the Blood-Clothed Pavilion and bribed the City Guards.
He was able to persuade the Qingkou Clan to take over the streets of the Three Swords Association.
As for Qu Xinran, he wanted to use Bao Pengyi's private treasury to make up for the City Lord's Mansion's deficit.
What a good plan. Fortunately, I arrived there one step ahead of time. "
Leng Shiqi came here at this moment for only one purpose, which was to assassinate Qu Xinran!
Qu Xinran schemed against him and even put the blame on him for killing the Four Spiritual Guards, causing him to provoke the Heavenly Cloud Tower for no reason.
He must take revenge!
Of course, Leng Shiqi was not impulsive. After reading Qu Xinran's information during the day, he spent the whole day investigating the City Lord's Mansion.
He found that Qu Xinran's vigilance was no less than Bao Pengyi's. Not only were there City Guards patrolling around his room, but there were also many hidden sentries.
If he acted rashly, he would definitely be surrounded.
However, he was not unprepared. To be safe, he used all the System Coins he got today for the lottery.
The results were mixed. Out of the six intermediate lottery prizes, four of them were useless materials at this stage.
As for the remaining two, one was a Treasure Seeking Plate, which could search for nearby treasures. Unfortunately, it could only be used once.
The other one was in Leng Shiqi's hands at this moment!
Qu Xinran, who was still deep in thought, suddenly noticed the paper on the desk fluttering twice, but there was no wind.
Qu Xin Ran immediately became alert. His eyes swept around, but he didn't find any trace of anyone.
However, when he turned his gaze back, he was shocked to see a short figure sitting on the chair next to him!
Qu Xin Ran felt a chill run down his spine. He silently cursed the guards and sentries outside for being blind. But when he took a closer look and realized that this person was a little familiar, a smile appeared on his face.
"So it's Old Mister Liu. Mister really comes and goes like a shadow. I remember that Mister said that you had something important to do. Why are you looking for me again?"
Leng Shiqi chuckled and said, "Isn't Castellan Qu asking the obvious?"
"I don't understand."
At this time, Leng Shiqi didn't want to waste his breath on Qu Xin Ran. He opened his palm and there was a light blue rectangular transparent crystal. Then, he injected his spiritual power into it and the crystal disappeared. Then, six light blue curtains sealed the room from top to bottom!
It was as if they were trapped inside the crystal.
This was the intermediate level prize, a one-time consumable, the Forbidden Barrier!
Not only could this barrier trap people, but it could also isolate all sounds, vibrations, and even spiritual energy fluctuations from the outside!
The reason Leng Shiqi didn't choose to suddenly attack was because he wanted to set up a barrier first to avoid alerting the city guards outside.
When Qu Xin Ran saw the barrier, his eyes immediately revealed a look of horror. He immediately shouted, "Guards!"
However, there was no movement outside at all.
Qu Xin Ran's expression couldn't help but become gloomy. He didn't expect Leng Shiqi to have such a method. Without the city guards, he could only face Leng Shiqi alone!
Leng Shiqi didn't want to give him time to think. The moment he set up the barrier, he pulled out two scimitars and attacked.
"Hmph!"
Qu Xin Ran let out a cold snort. His robe fluttered and a powerful aura suddenly erupted. It directly overturned the table before him.
His cultivation was actually at the ninth level of the Spirit Transformation Realm!
The table flew out and smashed towards Leng Shiqi who was rushing over.
"Ninth level of the Spirit Transformation Realm!
The information clearly said that Qu Xin Ran was at the sixth level of the Spirit Transformation Realm, but he was still hiding his strength! "Leng Shiqi was surprised, but he still slashed out with his scimitars.
With a "Bang" sound, the table was smashed into wood chips in the blink of an eye. Leng Shiqi's figure didn't stop at all. A purple light bloomed on the twin sabers.
Qu Xin Ran's eyes widened. He knew that Leng Shiqi's scimitar technique was amazing, so he had to make the first move. He reached out his hands and golden light appeared on his palms. Then he suddenly slapped out!
Two abnormally powerful golden palms howled out!
Leng Shiqi slashed out with his scimitars. His two scimitars collided with the golden palms and he felt as if his scimitars had hit two pieces of metal. He couldn't help but take a few steps back.
Seeing this, Leng Shiqi's heart couldn't help but tremble.
It has to be said that his Gale Slash was at the peak of the Spirit Transformation Realm and his scimitars were level four spirit artifacts. Even in this situation, he still couldn't beat Qu Xin Ran!
More importantly, Qu Xin Ran was able to create palms?
Leng Shiqi thought, "Spirit Qi leaving the body is the sign of the Spirit Pulse Realm of the Sky Realm!
This Qu Xin Ran is a Spirit Pulse Realm expert?
No, his aura is clearly at the Spirit Transformation Realm, but … I understand, he is at the peak of the Spirit Transformation Realm! "
Although there was only one realm between the Spirit Transformation Realm and the Spirit Pulse Realm, it was like the difference between heaven and earth.
There were two conditions to break through to the Spirit Pulse Realm. One was to compress the Qi Sea in the body into a Spirit Sea!
In addition, one had to open up one of the 72 spirit veins in the body.
Qu Xin Ran's spirit force was already at the point where his Qi Sea and Spirit Sea merged. Generally speaking, as long as someone like this cultivated steadily, there was a high chance that they could break through to the Spirit Pulse Realm!
From then on, they would be reborn, live longer, shed their mortal body, and step into the Sky Realm of the Sky Realm!
Qu Xin Ran forced Leng Shiqi back with one move and laughed heartily. "Haha, ignorant. What do you think this Qu is relying on?
It's not those small tricks, but my strength!
You dare to kill me with just you?! "
Immediately after, Qu Xin Ran once again sent out two palms. Two golden palms even more powerful than before flew toward Leng Shiqi.
Leng Shiqi didn't dare to meet them head on this time and chose to dodge. A black mist rose from under his feet and he dodged the golden palms like a feather.
The palms slammed into the bookshelves behind Leng Shiqi. The bookshelves and books instantly turned into dust.
"Dodge?
Didn't you want to kill me?
This Qu is standing right here. Come and kill me! "Qu Xin Ran's palms flashed with a golden light as he shouted.
Leng Shiqi seemed to be angered by Qu Xin Ran's words. He raised his two blades and charged straight at Qu Xin Ran.
Qu Xin Ran saw this and laughed in his heart. Just as he was about to attack, Leng Shiqi's figure suddenly turned into 12 illusions and the blades in his hands turned into swords!
