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

Thinking of this, Li Ping'an couldn't help but feel a little regretful.

It seems I still lack practical experience and am not decisive enough.

If he had used the lightning talisman quickly while Steward Wang was in a daze.

They might have already killed Steward Wang.

Now that he is on guard, it will be difficult for him to repeat the same trick.

In a flash, he had already dodged several of Steward Wang's attacks.

Manager Wang wasn't in a hurry.

He knew that Li Ping'an had many tricks up his sleeve.

Don't be too hasty, or you'll fall into his trap again.

He vividly remembered the golden light that suddenly erupted from Li Ping'an's body when he attacked him last time.

It left him with a lot of trauma.

This time, he's going to simmer Li Ping'an slowly, gradually wearing him down before devouring him.

Just then, Li Ping'an caught a glimpse of the mountain path not far away out of the corner of his eye.

Two people are slowly walking towards us.

Someone's coming!

Both Li Ping'an and Steward Wang noticed the two at the same time.

One of them felt a surge of hope that these two men could interfere with Steward Wang.

One of them was somewhat anxious, fearing that the two would interfere with his good fortune that was about to be achieved.

The two people in the distance also noticed what was happening.

Then they saw a big man with a long knife chasing after an old man.

However, neither of them seemed to want to get involved.

"Brother Zhang, it seems there's a fight going on up ahead."

One of the burly men squinted as he looked into the distance.

Another cultivator also looked over.

"I saw it too. It was one person chasing another. Judging from their strength, the one chasing them should be at the 80th level of Qi Refining cultivation."

"Should we...?"

A monk asked.

The cultivator surnamed Zhang shook his head and said...

"We'd better stay out of this mess. It's none of our business anyway, so we'll just stay far away."

"Too."

The cultivator nodded in deep agreement.

After all, the cultivation world is extremely dangerous and the relationships are intricate.

If they get involved in this mess today, they'll ruin other people's plans.

We might face endless troubles.

The two immediately decided to stop getting involved and deliberately moved to the side of the road.

The meaning is quite clear: they will not get involved in this matter.

Seeing this, Manager Wang was overjoyed.

The anxiety I had been holding in finally subsided.

He had just checked the strength of the two men.

One is at the sixth level of Qi Refining, and the other is at the seventh level of Qi Refining.

Although none of them are as strong as him, if they were to intervene, it would be a considerable problem.

Li Ping'an's heart sank to the bottom.

That's it, we're not going to deal with these two.

Am I going to die here today?

The thought that the Heaven-Forging Hammer within his body had not yet fully exerted its miraculous effects made him realize that...

The thought that his spiritual practice was not yet complete made him feel uneasy.

Li Ping'an felt a surge of anxiety.

No, we have to find a way, we have to find a way quickly!

Suddenly, a brilliant idea struck him.

After dodging Manager Wang's cleaver with a scramble, he...

He took out the pair of gongs again and rushed to the two men.

It slammed down hard!

He then infused even more spiritual energy into it.

The sound produced by striking it was louder and clearer.

The piercing sound echoed throughout the forest, startling flocks of birds into flight.

The two men had been walking along, watching the fight warily.

Suddenly, Li Ping'an pulled out a gong and slapped it.

Then the piercing sound threw them into a state of confusion, making them dizzy and disoriented.

Then, in the next second, a shocking scene unfolded before their eyes.

Just moments ago, a middle-aged man was seen chasing and hacking at the old man with a black knife.

Suddenly, he turned his blade and slashed straight at the two of them!

What?

Could there be a trap involved?

The cultivator surnamed Zhang immediately realized what was happening.

Oh no, these two are probably cultivators who are pretending to fight on the sidelines.

In fact, they are the targets!

His companions also reacted quickly.

The two quickly took out their magical artifacts, preparing to fight back.

The middle-aged man rushed over with a black knife and slashed at the cultivator surnamed Zhang.

The cultivator surnamed Zhang roared.

"We have no grudge against you and won't interfere in your affairs, so why are you suddenly attacking us?"

However, the man didn't say a word.

If the first attack misses, retreat quickly.

He distanced himself from the two.

Then, for some reason...

The two cultivators felt their vision blur again.

However, nothing has changed.

The middle-aged man was still standing opposite, holding a knife.

"You're incredibly malicious! We've already said we wouldn't interfere in your affairs, yet you still attack us. What do you mean by this?"

Steward Wang is chasing after Li Ping'an.

He then heard a cultivator across the road roar at him.

This left him somewhat bewildered.

What is he saying? I can't understand him.

However, the cultivator surnamed Zhang also had a violent temper.

When he saw that Steward Wang did not answer, he shouted angrily.

He pulled out a magical artifact from his waist and said...

"You think we two brothers are easy to bully?! Brother, let's go! Let's take him down!"

The other monk was also enraged.

He immediately pulled out his magical weapon and charged at Steward Wang.

Manager Wang was completely baffled, not understanding why the two who had just been ignoring him had suddenly launched an attack.

These two are also quite formidable.

One is at the sixth level of Qi Refining, and the other is at the seventh level of Qi Refining.

The magical artifacts he carried were also quite remarkable.

The three immediately started playing ping-pong, evenly matched and extremely intense.

And what about Li Ping'an?

At this moment, however, he was panting heavily to the side.

He was already covered in sweat.

It turned out that at the critical moment, he used the gong to shake the mental power of the two cultivators.

Then, he quickly used the "Great Dream Induction Technique" to invade the minds of both of them simultaneously.

They were deliberately provoked into a fight when they saw Steward Wang wielding a knife and slashing at them.

However, this consumed an enormous amount of mental energy.

Because controlling the minds of two people simultaneously is far more difficult than controlling one person.

It only lasted for a few dozen seconds.

Li Ping'an felt a splitting headache, as if his head was about to explode.

He was so weak that he knelt on the ground, almost too exhausted to move.

Fortunately, he achieved his goal.

Manager Wang is currently engaged in a fierce and protracted fight with the two men.

This is the best time for him to escape!

He gritted his teeth, took out a Qi-gathering pill from his pocket, and swallowed it.

Li Ping'an felt that his spiritual energy had recovered somewhat.

However, his head was still throbbing with pain because he had used up too much mental energy.

The Qi-restoring pill restores spiritual energy, but it cannot restore mental strength.

If only I had a pill to restore my mental energy right now.

Unfortunately, the elixir has not yet been refined.

Li Ping'an felt somewhat regretful.

After taking the Qi Gathering Pill, he endured the headache and ran off into the distance.

"Old Li, don't you dare leave!"

Seeing the duck that was about to be caught about to fly away, Manager Wang, who had been fighting hard, became anxious and shouted loudly.

He broke free from one of the cultivators, brandishing his knife, and said...

"We have no grudge against each other, why are you two interfering in my good deed?"

The cultivator surnamed Zhang angrily said...

"I'd like to ask you that too, why did you suddenly attack me?"

"When did I attack you?"

Steward Wang questioned loudly.

"Bah! You shameless scoundrel! Prepare to die!"
