The moment Leng Shiqi spoke, everyone's expression changed, especially Deng Li and Ding Xiu!
Deng Li was a young man with a thin face, unlike his name. He held a sword wrapped in rags in his arms and said with an unfriendly expression, "Old man, you're already so old. Aren't you afraid of biting your tongue when you talk big?"
Ding Zhou, on the other hand, was around fifty years old and a bit sloppy. His small eyes narrowed into slits as he said in a strange tone, "Still calling yourself an old man? Do you really think you're something?"
These two people were originally competitors, but now that Leng Shiqi had stood out and acted so arrogantly, it made both of them look bad. They actually had a common enemy.
Leng Shiqi said, "Oh, that little brother just said that the position of captain belongs to the capable. Could that be a lie?"
"Hmph!
Arrogant!
Let me see if you have the ability! "Deng Li's face was filled with anger. He clenched his sword and looked like he was about to attack.
Ding Zhou still narrowed his small eyes and remained unmoved.
Leng Shiqi stretched out a finger and beckoned. Although he didn't say anything, everyone could feel the contempt in his voice.
Deng Li was young and aggressive. He directly pulled out his sword and stabbed out!
His sword was a bit strange. The body of the sword, including the hilt, was completely black. At first glance, it looked like a burnt stick.
However, the sword energy coming from the sword was extremely sharp!
It was quite rare in the Spirit Transformation Realm.
Leng Shiqi's left palm flickered with starlight, and a small light blue formation appeared in front of him. A huge sword made of ice emerged from the formation!
Leng Shiqi pushed his palm forward, and then an enormous sword of ice that carried an extremely cold aura surged out from it!
The giant sword of ice collided with Deng Li's black sword and let out an ear-piercing sound.
Upon closer inspection, several cracks appeared on Leng Shiqi's giant sword of ice, but Deng Li's black sword was completely frozen.
Leng Shiqi's hand seal changed and the giant sword of ice suddenly turned into a mass of cold air that was enough to block out vision. It was about to swallow Deng Li!
Deng Li was still a Spirit Cultivator at the ninth level of the Spirit Transformation Realm. Shocked, he quickly retreated, but just as he was about to move, a few stone pillars as thick as an arm suddenly appeared beside his feet, blocking his path of retreat!
The dense cold air completely enveloped Deng Li!
When the cold air dissipated, only a lifelike ice sculpture was left.
Other than Yang Zhengqi, everyone else was stunned at this time, but they immediately burst into exclamations.
"Spirit Mage!"
"Spirit Transformation Realm Spirit mages are so powerful?!"
"Subduing Deng Li in one move, I think there's no need to fight for the position of team leader anymore."
"It's not just subdued. Look at Deng Li, he still can't break through the layer of ice. If Senior Liu continues to attack, he will lose his life."
"Tsk tsk, no wonder I heard people say that the older a Spirit Caster is, the more terrifying they are.
In fact, it was true.
For a normal Spirit Cultivator, or more accurately, for a Martial Artist, middle age was the peak of their life.
As one grew older, whether it was the body or Qi and blood, they would gradually weaken. Naturally, their strength would also slowly decline.
This was also the reason why Deng Li and Ding Zhou did not put Leng Shiqi in their eyes at the beginning.
However, for a Spirit Mage, they were not afraid of the aging of their body and the decline of their blood.
As long as there was no problem with their spiritual energy and mental strength, they would still be able to unleash their strongest fighting strength.
In fact, the older a Spirit Mage was, the purer their spiritual energy and the higher their mental strength.
Therefore, the older a Spirit Mage was, the scarier they were!
Ding Zhou secretly curled his lips and thought that he was lucky that he did not act rashly. It was best to have Deng Li test the opponent's strength.
However, he did not expect that this test would cause him to lose his chance to compete for the position of Leader.
Ding Zhou stood up straight and clasped his hands towards Leng Shiqi, "Elder Liu's strength is outstanding. I am ashamed of my inferiority."
His words made his position clear. At this moment, a "bang" sound was heard. Deng Li finally broke through the ice layer.
There was still a lot of ice on his face. Even though he used his spiritual energy to expel the cold, it still caused him to shiver.
The way Deng Li looked at Leng Shiqi immediately changed. There was fear, humiliation and a little unwillingness in his eyes.
He left a "goodbye" and walked back to his room.
Leng Shiqi thought to himself, "As expected, he is still too young."
Originally, Deng Li and Ding Zhou did not like Leng Shiqi. In the end, Deng Li was used as an example to others, leaving the impression that he was impulsive and rash.
On the other hand, Ding Zhou had completely changed into a good person. He asked about Leng Shiqi's well-being. The difference between people was very obvious.
Ding Zhou eagerly walked up to Leng Shiqi and said with a smile, "Captain, I will need you to take care of me in the future."
Leng Shiqi shook his head and said, "This old man is not worthy of the title of captain. Perhaps in a few days, there will be someone stronger than this old man."
Ding Zhou immediately patted his chest and said, "Of course not. Even if that is the case, I, Ding Zhou, will support Elder to be the captain."
"Oh?
Then I really have to thank Brother Ding. By the way, how about you introduce this old man to everyone here? "
"Aiyo, I actually forgot about this. What a sin. Come, come, come, stand over here.
This is Wang Lin, he is at the sixth layer of the Spirit Transformation Realm. This is … "
Ding Zhou enthusiastically introduced the other people to Leng Shiqi, and they all enthusiastically greeted him.
If nothing unexpected happened, Leng Shiqi would soon be their captain, so of course they had to flatter him.
When Ding Zhou introduced Huyan Men, Leng Shiqi looked at him a few more times, but he didn't say anything.
He didn't use the aura concealing technique to hide his cultivation because he wanted to smoothly join the city guard and have a place in the city guard.
When Huyan Men saw Leng Shiqi again, he found that his cultivation had soared from the fourth layer of the Spirit Transformation Realm to the ninth layer of the Spirit Transformation Realm. He guessed that Leng Shiqi had used some kind of method to hide his cultivation. His eyes lit up, but no one knew what he was thinking.
After a while, Leng Shiqi got to know everyone. He also took out some pills and materials that he didn't need and gave them to everyone as a greeting gift.
Everyone's enthusiasm toward him increased even more. Only Yang Zhengqi's eyes twitched slightly.
This was because he knew that the things Leng Shiqi gave out were from the robbers he had killed before.
Leng Shiqi had first shocked everyone with his powerful strength, and now he had taken out some benefits. His position as captain would be secured, and things would go smoothly in the future.
After that, he exchanged a few pleasantries with everyone. Ding Zhou acted as a guide again and helped Leng Shiqi find the best room to settle down in.
