She looked up at Li Qiushui, a look of surprise flashing in her eyes.

"This is troublesome! I didn't expect Li Qiushui to be even stronger than I anticipated, having already reached the Innate Realm. Stereotypes really do kill you."

He was absolutely certain that he felt that perfect harmony of true energy, a feeling of complete control, just like the one he had experienced with the Sweeper Monk.

But thinking about it, it makes sense. After all, Li Qiushui has cultivated for nearly a hundred years and possesses the top martial arts of the Xiaoyao Sect. Even if she hasn't grasped the true meaning of martial arts, such a long time spent honing her true qi would allow her qi and spirit to merge, reaching the innate realm.

He originally thought that he could easily hold off or even injure Li Qiushui with his cultivation level, but now it seems that he was being delusional.

If it's possible to kill an opponent across stages by any means necessary before reaching the Innate level, then this possibility decreases after reaching the Innate level, unless the numerical values ​​are very close.

Lu Ming's current situation is similar in terms of numerical values.

The improved Beiming Divine Art enhanced his physical abilities day by day, and the total amount of Beiming True Qi that he could store in his body also continued to increase, which made it possible for him to fight Li Qiushui.

"That's the power of the White Rainbow Palm! How is that possible?!"

Li Qiushui's eyes were also filled with surprise. She was absolutely certain that this young man had mastered the White Rainbow Palm technique, which she had cultivated for decades.

To be honest, Lu Ming was also surprised that he was able to successfully master the White Rainbow Palm Technique. He had unknowingly mastered it while studying the basic techniques in the grotto.

This discovery also made him more interested in studying the martial arts within the grotto.

Despite her surprise, Li Qiushui was quick to react. She realized that Lu Ming's White Rainbow Palm technique was only at the beginner level and could not achieve the same flexibility as hers. If the two of them were to clash with each other's White Rainbow Palm techniques, Lu Ming would definitely be no match.

One after another, palm strikes came out from her hands. In the process, with the constant changes in her hands, the palm strikes hit Lu Ming's body in different trajectories and directions.

Lu Ming was naturally aware of this, so he didn't use his palm techniques. Instead, he drew the Crimson Sky Sword from his waist. The moment it was drawn, it brought forth streaks of sword light, which shattered all the palm strikes as they approached.

Then Lu Ming moved closer, the three-foot-long cyan sword light in front of his sword tip flickering like a snake, and slashed out with a swift motion.

In the blink of an eye, the two exchanged flashes of palm and sword light, their battle extremely dangerous, sending rocks flying and causing astonishing destruction in their wake.

"Damn it!"

Li Qiushui was so angry she wanted to bite him; she felt extremely frustrated by the beating.

She could tell that Lu Ming had practiced external martial arts, and with his thick skin and the Northern Darkness Divine Art, he was unaffected by the occasional blows from Bai Hong's palm, and never even suffered any injury.

But she couldn't do that; the sword's edge was too sharp, easily piercing through her protective aura. Moreover, Lu Ming was extremely cunning, mixing the sword's edge into his sword moves, often launching sudden attacks that were impossible to defend against.

She knew in her heart that she couldn't defeat Lu Ming in a short time. His Northern Darkness True Qi was in no way inferior to hers, and his physical strength and speed were even superior to hers. Her only two advantages were her innate true qi and combat experience.

Her innate true energy and combat experience are crucial in the fight, allowing her to accurately seize Lu Ming's movements and the flaws in his swordsmanship, achieving a fatal blow.

As she deliberately created an opening, Lu Ming fell for it and suddenly swung his sword.

"Now!"

Taking advantage of the moment when Lu Ming's sword strike was still imminent and before new power could be generated, Li Qiushui activated her Lesser Formless Skill, channeling her true energy throughout her body. She executed the move once, then unleashed a powerful strike with her right palm.

Yang Ge Tianjun!

The move that Lu Ming knew all too well was arguably the strongest move in the Tianshan Six Yang Palm technique. Li Qiushui had seized the opportunity perfectly, and he had used too much force, making it virtually impossible for him to change his move.

Li Qiushui used all her strength in this palm strike. Under the simulation of the Lesser Formless Skill, the Yin and Yang of her internal energy constantly transformed, perfectly matching this palm strike, and the power it exerted was extraordinary.

Although with his current physical strength, plus the true energy absorbed into his body by the Northern Darkness Divine Art, he wouldn't be killed, but he would definitely be injured.

"Sigh, looks like we'll have to resort to other methods!"

Lu Ming sighed inwardly. He also wanted to have a good fight, but unfortunately, he lacked combat experience and fell into his opponent's trap.

"Whoosh!"

Just as Lu Minggang was about to pull out his pistol to wound Li Qiushui, a sharp whistling sound suddenly came from the air, and a sharp arrow shot straight towards Li Qiushui's chest like lightning.

"Damn it!"

Li Qiushui cursed under her breath and immediately changed her move. The Yang Ge Tian Jun that was originally aimed at Lu Ming became a horizontal sweep. With the force of her palm, her body spun in the air and dodged the fatal arrow.

Taking advantage of this opportunity, Lu Ming distanced himself from Li Qiushui and landed on a rock in front of Lingjiu Palace. He abandoned his plan to use the pistol and looked in the direction from which the arrows had come.

Not far away, on a rocky hill, the Old Woman was holding a specially made powerful bow, nocking an arrow and aiming it at Li Qiushui. Her eyes were icy cold, ready to shoot a fatal arrow at any moment.

"You vile woman, killing your junior brother wasn't enough, you even wanted to kill Lu Ming! Do you really want the Xiaoyao Sect's lineage to end? How can you face your master?!" Tong Lao questioned coldly.

She had actually arrived long ago, and she had overheard the entire conversation between Lu Ming and Li Qiushui. Especially when she heard Lu Ming speak up for her, she truly accepted Lu Ming as her junior disciple.

She could tell that Lu Ming lacked combat experience and knew that Li Qiushui would eventually find a weakness in him, so she prepared a powerful bow in advance to deal with any unexpected situations.

And as it turned out, everything went exactly as he predicted, which led to her saving Lu Ming with that arrow.

"This disciple is deeply grateful to my senior master for saving my life!"

"Lu Ming, you take the lead in the attack, and I'll cover you. Together, we'll take this bitch down!"

"Alright! Let's do as my senior master says!"

Upon hearing the old woman's arrangement, Lu Ming nodded in agreement, and his body transformed into a blur as he rushed towards Li Qiushui.

Although Tong Lao's skills have not yet recovered and she is no match for Li Qiushui, the arrows she shoots with her current thirty years of skill are enough to threaten Li Qiushui's life.

"Whoosh! Whoosh! Whoosh!..."

Each powerful arrow helped Lu Ming turn the tide of battle at crucial moments, making him even more unrestrained. He unleashed a variety of mature and immature techniques on Li Qiushui.

One second it's Tianshan Six Yang Palm, the next it's White Rainbow Palm Force and other martial arts, even non-martial arts moves are mixed in.

"Damn bitch!"

Li Qiushui cursed inwardly. If it weren't for Tong Lao, she would have already severely injured Lu Ming, or even killed him. She wanted to change her target and kill Tong Lao, but every time she had the idea, Lu Ming would stop her.
