Chapter 188 - 188 Instant Kill

188 Instant Kill

Jiang Ming flew around the forest slowly.

He was playing with a Jade Slip. From time to time, he would place it on his forehead for a moment to browse the contents.

The Jade Slip was a map of the Litfire Region that he had bought for a hundred spirit stones. Almost everything one needed to know about the Litfire Region was recorded on it.

Even the Black Rock Ruins were recorded on the map. It even had some information about it written down.

“Every time it opens, Qi Refinement Realm cultivators from various major sects visit it as a part of their training.”

Jiang Ming’s heart skipped a beat when he read this. He had never heard of this before.

Of course, this was also because he had been avoiding trouble and had never taken the initiative to ask questions. After all, he was instinctively resistant to entering ruins and dungeons.

“I should be able to break through to the ninth level of the Qi Refinement Realm the next time the Black Rock Ruins open. However, according to the information I’ve received, the next time will be the last time the Black Rock Ruins will open, and the battle will definitely be extremely intense.”

Moreover, this time Golden Core Realm cultivators would also visit. If a fight broke out, the results would be disastrous.

Jiang Ming’s eyes flickered. He suppressed his greed and decided to wait and see.

The opportunity was tempting. However, it was also accompanied by risks. If he could find a suitable Foundation Establishment Realm technique, it would be perfect. He wanted to avoid trouble at all costs.

“Let’s take one step at a time.”

Jiang Ming sighed. Immortality did not equate to talent or strength. Breaking through to the Foundation Establishment Realm was also a barrier for him. Fortunately, he had all the time in the world to explore several avenues and avoid taking risks.

He put this matter to the back of his mind for the time being and continued to browse through the information recorded in the Jade Slip.

“These one hundred spirit stones were well spent!” After Jiang Ming finished browsing, he looked pleased. This was not simply a map. It was also a record of major events in the Litfire Region, which allowed him to quickly understand this area.

This information could not be obtained normally. Now, he would not have to venture blindly into the Litfire Region.

“However, the Litfire Region is much more expansive than I thought!”

The area covered by Xiaoqian Mountains was almost twice the size of the Cloudy Dream Mountain Forest. However, on this map, it was just a dot.

It was the same for the other forces and cities. More than 80% of the places were desolate and uninhabited.

Even Golden Core Realm cultivators might not be able to explore every single area recorded on the map in their entire lives. Some low-leveled cultivators might not even be able to leave the Litfire Region!

As for the few immortal cultivation forces that Jiang Ming had heard of in Xiaoqian Mountain, they were all quite far away.

“However, this is a good thing!”

Jiang Ming put away the Jade Slip and smiled.

He did not come out here to gain experience and fight. Thus, the fewer immortal cultivators he met, the better. There were a few mortal-based cities within a few hundred miles. He could go there to lie low for a while.

Moreover, these cities were close enough to keep track of what was going on in Xiaoqian Mountain.

* * *

The flying sword flew unsteadily, gradually getting further and further away from Xiaoqian Mountain. The mountain range covered in smoke and clouds was almost out of sight.

However, Jiang Ming suddenly frowned. His flying sword slowly landed on the ground, and he looked back in the direction where he came from.

He felt that there was someone behind him.

He was annoyed. He had disguised himself and was even riding a cheap flying sword! Why would anyone want to rob him?

“Who’s there?” Jiang Ming asked in a cold voice.

Since he was pretending to be a poor fifth-level Qi Refinement Realm cultivator, anyone attacking him would not be much stronger. It was best to deal with them.

After a while, the forest was silent.

Jiang Ming’s eyes were slightly cold. He raised one hand, and a large fireball shot out, suddenly hitting a big tree.

The tree was burnt to the ground.

Next to the charred wood, a short man suddenly appeared and started running around to put out the flames.

“The Earth Escape Technique is quite an unorthodox technique.” The Earth Escape Technique was similar to the Misty Rain Technique. They were both low-level spells of little value, and almost no one would specialize in cultivating them.

However, if mastered, they were quite useful. If Jiang Ming did not have his heightened perception, he would not have been able to sense this man.

At this moment, the short man had a look of panic on his face. More than half of his hair had been burned off. It was obvious that he had not completely dodged the fireball.

“It’s all a misunderstanding! A misunderstanding!” he said with a terrified expression. “I was traveling underground and happened to be going the same way as you. Seeing that your bearing is extraordinary, I wanted to make friends with you.”

“Oh? Is that so?” Jiang Ming’s face was calm. He raised his hand and threw out the broken flying sword in his hand toward the man.

How dare a mere sixth-stage Qi Refinement Realm cultivator try to hurt him.

The short man’s expression changed, and he quickly rolled on the ground. The blade cut across his chest and abdomen, leaving a wound so deep that bone could be seen.

“What’s your cultivation level?” The short man was extremely shocked and furious. He realized that the person in front of him was not weak at all.

On the other hand, Jiang Ming’s eyes were calm. He wanted to get rid of him as fast as possible.

He used the Fire Metal Sword Technique. It was his most powerful attack!

The attack shot toward the man. In his panic, the man hurriedly took out his most powerful defensive magical tool, a diamond-shaped blue s.h.i.+eld. He quickly held it in front of his chest.

The sound of metal clas.h.i.+ng broke out, and spiritual energy ripples burst out in the air, instantly destroying the environment around them.

The s.h.i.+eld did nothing to block the attack.

“How strong is this guy…”

The man died instantly.

Jiang Ming stared at the blue s.h.i.+eld that fell in the distance, and his heart sank.

“This s.h.i.+eld seems to be a standard magic weapon of the Fire Lotus Valley.”
