Sixty years of blacksmithing, a single hammer blow forging a celestial being.

In short, with this woman's strength, she could kill Li Ping'an without breaking a sweat.

Thinking of this, Li Ping'an couldn't help but feel a sense of despair.

But his will to survive forced him to remain calm.

He nodded and said, "I am Li Ping'an. What do you want with me?"

Silently and stealthily, he took steps backward, trying to escape.

At the same time, he had already secretly grasped the Xuan Tian Mirror in his hand, ready to release it at any moment.

"Alright! You must be Li Ping'an!"

The woman smiled slightly and said.

"I want to see what kind of charm this person my sister cares about has that makes her repeatedly order me not to kill you."

While Li Ping'an was still pondering who the older sister she was talking about was...

The woman suddenly transformed into a red light and pounced straight at Li Ping'an.

Li Ping'an couldn't react at all.

Because he was so fast.

Even though he was fully on guard and his nerves were on edge.

But he was captured by that woman in an instant.

The woman's delicate hands gripped Li Ping'an's neck tightly.

It felt as if Li Ping'an's neck was being gripped by steel claws.

Moreover, a tremendous force emanated from his palm.

This rendered Li Ping'an instantly immobile, rendering him unable to offer even the slightest resistance.

Ruined!

Li Ping'an felt despair.

His life now hangs in the balance with this woman.

Looking at the woman's somewhat neurotic state, he felt afraid he might die at any moment.

In an instant, a strong sense of resentment welled up from the bottom of my heart.

Damn it! I, Li Ping'an, haven't even fulfilled my potential with my cheat codes and talents, and I'm already going to die like this?

I can not be reconciled!

Just as he was feeling utterly miserable, he heard the woman speak in his ear.

"Why are you closing your eyes? I'm not going to kill you."

Upon hearing this, Li Ping'an opened his eyes.

The woman was now very close to his face.

He could even see her big eyes blinking at him.

You can even see the eyelashes clearly.

"I see you clearly now, you old man are quite ordinary. I really don't understand what kind of taste you have, sister. It's a pity he won't let me kill you, so I can't lay a hand on you. Otherwise, I really wanted to kill you and introduce him to someone else, wouldn't that be wonderful? But you might have some secrets about you, I'll take you back and study you carefully."

After saying that, she picked up Li Ping'an and left without another word.

Li Ping'an felt the surrounding scenery change rapidly.

The speed was so fast it became blurry.

In the blink of an eye, they arrived at a cave.

The cave was completely dark.

The surrounding soil was still fresh, indicating that it had just been dug out.

It's likely that this witch dug a cave near the Tongtian Sword Sect as a hiding place.

As you can see, there are already quite a few corpses piled up in this cave.

It seems this witch has committed quite a few serious crimes.

However, so far, the disciples of the Enforcement Hall of the Tongtian Sword Sect have only discovered three cases.

The total number should be no less than ten.

Looking at the piles of corpses on the ground, Li Ping'an felt a chill run down his spine.

I don't think I'll end up like them, do I?

The witch grabbed Li Ping'an by the neck, as if she were carrying a kitten.

Li Ping'an was unable to move.

The witch stuck out her pink tongue and licked her lips as she spoke.

"I really want to taste what's so special about your blood, old man. Too bad, my sister won't let me. I'll just have to lock you up for now. Maybe one day I'll manage to persuade my sister, and then I can openly devour you!"

The witch let out a silvery laugh.

To Li Ping'an, it was like the whispers of a demon.

"Alright, this is where you'll be staying from now on. I need to go out and find some more food; I'm starving."

With that, the witch threw Li Ping'an to the ground, patted her stomach, and said...

See you later!

After saying that, the witch's figure disappeared in front of Li Ping'an in the blink of an eye.

Li Ping'an was the only one left in the entire cave.

Li Ping'an felt around in the soil.

If it's just an ordinary cave.

With his current strength at the late stage of Qi Refining, escaping wouldn't be difficult for him.

However, after a period of investigation, Li Ping'an began to despair.

It turned out that the cave was not as simple as he had imagined.

It has been sealed by this witch.

It's not as simple as it seems.

Damn it! They're not really going to lock me up in here, are they?!

I also want to escape from my elder brother who founded the sect!

Li Ping'an roared in despair.

Suddenly, he pulled a black hammer out of his storage bag.

He spun around quickly, exerted all his strength, and slammed the hammer into the wall.

In an instant, soil flew everywhere.

Li Pingan smashed a large crater into the wall.

"Is it effective?"

Li Ping'an was overjoyed.

However, the next second, the soil miraculously recovered completely.

It was exactly the same as before Li Ping'an smashed it.

Seeing this, Li Ping'an was dumbfounded.

Wait, is this restriction that powerful? It can actually be restored!

Li Ping'an was somewhat skeptical.

He simply didn't believe that the restoration of this forbidden soil didn't require the consumption of magical power to maintain.

If he keeps striking, he will eventually break the barrier.

So he continued to hammer the soil, one blow after another.

However, no matter how much he smashed it, the soil would still be restored intact.

There wasn't even the slightest sign of damage.

"Is this restriction really that strong?"

Li Pingan was somewhat desperate.

The continuous use of magic had already exhausted him.

For a moment, Li Ping'an felt utterly desperate.

It seems I'm really going to be stuck here.

Meanwhile, the higher-ups of the Tongtian Sword Sect...

Wan Zhenshan's face turned ugly, and he slammed his hand on the table.

"That damned demon! Our Tongtian Sword Sect put in the most effort to seal it away back then. Sure enough, it holds a grudge; the moment the seal was broken, it immediately targeted our Tongtian Sword Sect disciples!"

A middle-aged cultivator standing nearby cupped his hands in greeting.

"Sect Leader, in just two days, approximately thirty disciples have already been killed!"

"How can there be so many!"

Wan Zhenshan roared.

"Didn't I tell you to increase patrols and immediately pursue and intercept him at the slightest clue? How come you still can't catch him?"

The middle-aged man said with a grim expression.

"The monster appears and disappears unpredictably, killing and running away at incredible speed, making it impossible to find its trace."

"hateful!"

Wan Zhenshan slammed his hand on the table and said.

"Open the protective treasure! I refuse to believe this guy can escape with the protective treasure here!"

"But……"

An elder standing nearby spoke hesitantly.

"Sect Master, this sacred treasure protecting our mountain is the foundation of our sect. If we open it so easily, won't other sects find out beforehand?"

Wan Zhenshan's eyes narrowed as he said:

"Those guys are just happy to stand by and watch, and they're not going to lend a hand at all."

If we don't activate the protective treasure soon, that demon will only kill more people and grow stronger. At that point, even I might lose control. Activating the protective treasure as soon as possible and nipping it in the bud is the best course of action.

"Alright, enough of this. Pass down my order: activate the sacred protective treasure! I will personally guard it and tear this beast to pieces!"
