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

Li Ping'an sighed, wondering why he was so kind to the disciples of the abandoned hall.

The disciples of the abandoned hall did not provide him with any substantial help.

They were all a group of people with little power and no influence.

But Li Pingan probably felt that this group of people were simple-minded and genuinely worried about him.

It was the last ray of warmth in his heart.

The disciples of the abandoned hall were nearing completion and began to say goodbye to each other.

Because they all knew that once they went down the mountain, they might never see each other again.

Long Yun looked at Li Ping'an with mixed feelings and couldn't help but ask.

"Uncle Li, where are you going?"

Upon hearing this, Li Ping'an fell into deep thought.

Where to go? Actually, he hadn't decided yet.

He was just thinking about leaving the Tongtian Sword Sect, but he didn't know where he was going.

So he sighed and said, "I don't know either, I'll just take it one step at a time!"

Long Yun nodded and said, "Perhaps we will meet again someday!"

After saying that, Long Yun took out a talisman from his body and handed it to Li Ping'an.

Li Ping'an took the talisman and saw that it was a transmission talisman, a very low-level talisman.

It's cheap; you can get it for just a few spirit stones.

"Grandpa! This is a communication talisman. Here, take one! When I, Long Yun, achieve some success in my cultivation, I'll use it to contact you! Then we can meet again!"

Long Yun spoke with a firm tone.

His talent surpasses that of the other servants in the abandoned hall, and he is already close to reaching the Qi Refining stage.

Moreover, with a steadfast mind, they would never easily give up cultivating immortality.

Li Ping'an was also aware of his situation.

With Long Yun's aptitude, it shouldn't be difficult for him to cultivate to the late stage of Qi Refining.

It all depends on his luck and destiny.

So he nodded and said, "Okay, I'll be waiting for that day!"

After saying that, Li Ping'an spoke loudly.

"Gentlemen! Now is not the time for reminiscing! Everyone, please disperse!"

Everyone was well aware that the demons were still wreaking havoc within the Tongtian Sword Sect.

Who knows, some demon might get lost and wander into their territory.

So they all reluctantly scattered and fled.

After all the disciples of the abandoned hall had fled, Li Ping'an finally let out a long sigh.

I prepared to descend the mountain alone.

He glanced back at the Tongtian Sword Sect, a place he had spent decades in.

Now it's finally time to leave.

I don't know if I'll ever have a chance to come back.

What Li Ping'an was most worried about was his junior sister Qingyue.

I don't know if we'll ever have the chance to meet again.

I left in such a hurry that I forgot to leave Qingyue my contact information.

But there's nothing we can do now, we can only take it one step at a time.

Li Ping'an was about to descend the mountain.

Suddenly, a strong gust of wind came from behind me.

A strong sense of crisis swept over us.

Li Ping'an was startled and quickly turned around to look.

A streak of snow-white light flew rapidly from the horizon and arrived in front of him in the blink of an eye.

That patch of white was a woman dressed in a white robe.

Her appearance was exceptionally beautiful, and her eyes were filled with aloofness.

This person was none other than the Holy Maiden Lu Xue.

"Li Ping'an! You want to leave?"

Lu Xue looked down at Li Ping'an, her tone icy.

Li Ping'an inwardly cried out in alarm, "Oh no, I almost forgot about this!"

Lu Xue came here this time specifically for him.

Lu Xue must have noticed that I've been on the run for so long.

Now his escape speed is far slower than Lu Xue's.

This is really bad.

Lu Xue floated quietly in the air, silently watching Li Ping'an.

He said, "You're poisoned, where can you escape to? Li Ping'an, I'll say it one last time, you're going to die sooner or later! You might as well give me a quick death! Perhaps one day when I achieve the Great Dao, I'll inscribe your name in my cultivation manual! So that future generations will know who you, Li Ping'an, are!"

Upon hearing this, Li Ping'an felt a wave of nausea.

Does this guy have some serious illness or is he just overconfident?

She thought everyone would willingly fall at her feet.

Although Li Ping'an used to be this kind of person, he has changed now.

He immediately said in a cold tone.

"Lu Xue, I advise you not to be so arrogant and overconfident! No one in this world revolves around anyone else! Everyone has their own thoughts and beliefs! Don't always think that others will willingly give everything for you! You want me to commit suicide in front of you? You're dreaming! If you want me to die, you'll have to do it yourself!"

Upon hearing this, Lu Xue couldn't help but shake her head and sigh.

"Brother Ping An! Why did you force me to take action? Why couldn't you just grant my wish? Brother Ping An! I hate you so much!"

Listening to Lu Xue muttering to herself, Li Ping'an's heart was breaking.

He knew that Lu Xue would never let him off easily.

Saying these things here now is just a prelude to something.

Sure enough, as Lu Xue was speaking, she suddenly flicked her sleeve.

Two silver steel needles suddenly flew out from between the cuffs.

It was aimed directly at Li Ping'an's throat!

This move was a killing blow!

Li Ping'an was already completely focused.

The instant Lu Xue moved, he immediately rolled forward.

He barely dodged the two flying needles.

When he got up from the ground again, he looked at Lu Xue.

Lu Xue's eyes were sharp and filled with murderous intent.

At this moment, he had completely made up his mind to be ruthless.

That means Li Ping'an should die completely!

"Li Ping'an! Since you want me to kill you, I'll give you a quick death!"

Lu Xue's words were no longer gentle and tender, but filled with icy killing intent.

As he spoke, a gleaming steel sword appeared in his hand.

With a swing of his longsword, a sharp sword aura shot straight at Li Ping'an.

Li Ping'an's pupils contracted; this speed was incredible!

It should be noted that the last Foundation Establishment cultivator he fought was Senior Brother Zhang Lu.

That was a late-stage Foundation Establishment cultivator, whose swordsmanship was incredibly powerful.

However, compared to Lu Xue now, that path is nothing.

The two are not even on the same level.

Just this one extremely sharp sword aura.

Li Ping'an had a misconception that he couldn't escape it at all.

It was as if I subconsciously knew that my head would be chopped off in an instant.

However, in the face of life and death, Li Ping'an instinctively held the black hammer in front of his chest.

There was a loud clang!

Li Ping'an felt as if he had been punched hard by a giant.

The immense force sent him flying.

It crashed into several trees before finally stopping.

Feeling the excruciating pain in his back and chest, Li Ping'an couldn't help but gasp.

Is this the true strength of Saintess Lu Xue?

Compared to that day, Lu Xue truly demonstrated her strength today.

Today, she will not hold back in the slightest.

Every move he makes is a killing blow.

Therefore, Li Ping'an felt immense pressure.

Seeing Lu Xue attacking her again, Li Ping'an had only one thought in her mind.

That means escape!

He immediately formed a hand seal: "Wood Release: Technique!"

He disappeared into the woods in an instant.

"Still trying to escape?"

Lu Xue's lips curled into a cold smile.

"Do you really think you can escape my grasp?"

The flying artifact beneath his feet rapidly unleashed its spiritual power.

They arrived at the location where Li Ping'an had escaped in an instant.

Seeing Lu Xue following him everywhere, Li Ping'an inwardly groaned.

How come these high-level cultivators can move so fast!
