Ye Xing followed silver hairpin and entered deeper into the swamp. On the other side, Jin Wende and the rest were still battling with the Deep Marsh Giant Alligator, although it was a strong Goblin, its intelligence was still inferior to humans.

After a few artful rounds by Jin Wende and the others, they found the weakness of the thick and rough skin of the giant deep-swamp crocodile — its eyes. In the end, under their violent attacks, the giant crocodile also gradually couldn't hold on much longer.

"Roar!"

The Deep Marsh Giant Alligator could clearly see that the slash was not ordinary, it immediately roared, and bit towards Jin Wende with its scarlet mouth, as though it wanted to fight to the death with Jin Wende!

"Chi!"

However, at this critical moment that determined life or death, several extremely sharp sword glows quickly flashed and appeared! That cold light seemed to want to kill all the living creatures present!

Jin Wende and the others, as well as the Deep Marsh Giant Alligator, didn't expect that other than them, there were actually other Rankers lurking in the vicinity. Caught off guard, their bodies, along with the gigantic crocodile in the deep swamp, were covered in several more ferocious sword wounds!

The other side was clearly not holding back!

One of them had the weakest cultivation, and only an initial stage Jin family cultivator could not react in time. He was killed on the spot, and a good head shot up into the sky, boiling blood splattering all over the ground!

"Who is it?!"

Jin Wende's eyes were about to crack as he howled in grief.

"Hehe, Jin Wende, don't be so angry, you might hurt your body."

Under the furious gaze of the Jin Clan warriors, Li Mingcheng's group gradually revealed themselves. The latter smiled faintly, the long sword in his hand was still dripping with blood, left behind by the Jin Clan warrior who was killed just now.

"Li Mingcheng! It's you! You followed us all the way? Wait, how did you get through that miasma? Without the help of silver hairpin, it would have been impossible for your Li Clan … "

Jin Wende's eyes were scarlet red, exuding a dense killing intent that caused chills run down one's spine.

"Our Li Family might not have the ability as Jin Wansan to invite him into the silver hairpin, but we have our own methods of concealment. We hid ourselves outside the swamp half a day ago, and from the moment you appeared, you all were fated to be our prey!"

Li Junfeng sneered.

"So it turns out that you have all been aware of our every move since a long time ago."

Jin Wende's expression was sorrowful as he said in regret, "How hateful, if I had been more careful, I wouldn't have ended up like this! "Jin Yuan shouldn't die..."

The 'metal elemental energy' in his mouth was exactly the same as the one that had died just now.

"Jin Wende, I respect you as a man. I am not willing to humiliate you. I, Li Mingcheng, will give you a chance. If you were to fall into the hands of our Patriarch, you should know the consequences. "

Li Mingcheng said indifferently.

"Uncle Cheng!"

Li Junfeng's expression changed, he still wanted to say something, but was cut off by Li Mingcheng.

Jin Wende and the others had already exhausted too much energy in their battle against the Deep Marsh Giant Alligator earlier, and with the fact that they were heavily injured by Li Mingcheng and the others from a sneak attack, they had no chance of winning at all in front of the many people from the Li Clan.

"I never thought that you, Li Mingcheng, would be such a character.

Jin Wende's eyes flickered. He communicated with the other Jin Clan warriors through their eyes, as if they could see the determination in each other's eyes. In the next moment, they practically exploded forth at the same time, releasing the strongest strength in their entire bodies, wanting to fight to the death!

"Then die!"

The few warriors from the Jin family all went crazy, unleashing powerful martial skills with all their might, their target was the strongest, Li Mingcheng!

"You're courting death!"

Li Mingcheng's gaze turned cold. He had already been prepared for this, and in the time it took for a spark to fly, the longsword in his hand struck out like lightning. Purple elemental energy wildly surged out from his body, condensing into a thunderbolt strike!

Dong! Dong!

The few Jin Clan warriors who were on the verge of death were obviously not a match for the powerful Li Mingcheng. In just a single exchange, the latter had killed them all with a single strike, causing a few of their heads to fall to the ground.

"Not good, he wants to escape!"

Just then, Li Junfeng anxiously shouted and attracted Li Mingcheng's attention, the latter turned her head to look, just in time to see Jin Wende's attack shaking off Li Junfeng and the rest, and immediately fleeing frantically towards the exit.

"I must inform the Miss and the rest as soon as possible, otherwise the consequences will be unimaginable!"

Because the previous attack was too forceful, Jin Wende immediately spat out a mouthful of blood. However, his speed became faster and faster, because he had to find Jin Ruyu, silver hairpin and the others in the shortest amount of time possible.

"Stop him!"

Li Mingcheng who was expressionless the entire time was finally moved, he shouted loudly, and was about to take a step forward, when suddenly, a big scarlet mouth suddenly appeared in front of him, biting down towards him!

"Roar!"

It was precisely the Deep Marsh Giant Alligator, this Goblin naturally would not help Jin Wende, who was a cunning human, to escape. One had to know that when Li Mingcheng slashed at it, he had truly enraged it!

"Scram!"

Li Mingcheng's eyes were clear as he let out a low growl, and was just about to kick away the Deep Marsh Giant Alligator. However, he discovered that the crocodile skin was even harder than steel, and it simply did not budge an inch!

The Deep Marsh Giant Alligator pounced towards and killed Li Mingcheng crazily. The latter had no choice but to give up on the idea of killing Jin Wende to fight it.

"Then I'll get rid of that evil creature of yours first!"

However, even if it was an injured Giant Marsh Crocodile, its strength could not be underestimated. Even though Li Mingcheng was an expert with mastery of the Yuanfu Realm, it was still impossible for him to quickly kill this Demon with astonishing defensive capabilities by himself.

The Giant Marsh Crocodile's unintentional actions had bought time for Jin Wende to escape. As for Li Junfeng and the others, their cultivation realms were evidently much lower than Jin Wende's. In front of the latter, who wholeheartedly wanted to escape, their speed was not even enough to compare.

An hour later, the Deep Marsh Giant Alligator knew that it was no match for Li Mingcheng, and if it continued to struggle, it would definitely be killed by this person. Li Mingcheng had no choice but to grunt under his breath and quickly dived into the swamp. Li Mingcheng didn't stop it either, because this was a swamp, a territory of the Deep Marsh Giant Alligator.

If he pursued them forcefully, it was very likely that he would suffer a great loss.

Very quickly, Li Junfeng and the rest returned, knowing that Jin Wende had successfully escaped. Although Li Mingcheng felt that it was a little regretful, he did not display too many emotions. After all, Jin Wende was already heavily injured, and the remaining Jin Clan members were not a big problem.

As for the silver hairpin, he did not take it to heart, because the former was known for being fickle in love and lack of righteousness. As long as he gave some of the benefits to the former, he believed that there wouldn't be a problem.

"The Radix Asterospermidis, will be the key for me to break through my Tongxuan realm, no one can stop me!"

Li Mingcheng's eyes flashed with a bright light.

… ….

"Granny, look!"

Everyone turned to look in the direction she pointed. Coincidentally, there was a strange plant that was emitting a faint purple light and contained seven flower buds less than 100 meters away from them.

"Radix Asterospermidis!"

silver hairpin's eyes were passionate, and he could not help but shout out.

"I've finally found it."

Jin Ruyu's face was filled with joy, her beautiful face was like a peony, captivating everyone who looked at her.

"That's a medicinal herb that can help one's Yuanzhi realm martial artist to break through …"

Ye Xing's heart moved, but he quickly calmed down. He knew that he was too weak to fight over this stalk of spirit medicine. If they revealed even the slightest bit of intention to fight, they would be ruthlessly beaten by the Jin family members and the silver hairpin.

"Miss, I'll go and get it right away!"

Everyone in the Jin family looked excited. They had already found the target of their trip. They could already imagine what kind of bountiful reward they would receive when they returned. One of the warriors of the Jin family volunteered and was about to pick the fruit.

"AHH!"

Unexpectedly, a cold light flashed past. The man screamed as three silver needles appeared on the back of his hand. The silver needle seemed to be tainted with a lethal poison. In just a breath's time, his palm had turned black and he felt dizzy.

"Hmph, idiot."

silver hairpin's expression was ice-cold, he disdainfully swept his eyes over the Jin Clan warrior, "If the Radix Asterospermidis is so easy to pick, then what is this old one doing here? If there is a next time, die!"

Just as he finished speaking, silver hairpin waved his sleeve and the three silver needles were retracted, the black Qi in the man's palm also gradually dispersed. Such a strange method really made the Jin family to be silent, and their fear of the silver hairpin grew.

"This old woman is covered in poison. It seems that I have to think of a way to leave her as soon as possible. The longer I stay here, the more dangerous it will be."

Ye Xing was secretly shocked.

"Radix Asterospermidis is a rare heavenly resource. Not only is it a cultivation medicine that can help people break through, it is also an extremely poisonous poison. As long as you touch it, even an adult practitioner of primary orifice stage would die instantly from the poison. If you do not have the appropriate method, you cannot even think of getting this Radix Asterospermidis. "

silver hairpin's bland words made everyone's spirits rise, especially the Jin Clan warrior just now, who felt a lingering fear in his heart.

"Also, look at what that thing is …"

As he spoke, the silver hairpin pointed his withered arm towards the swamp, and only then did everyone realize that there was something strange about the swamp, which was less than thirty meters away from the Radix Asterospermidis, bulging and swelling like a living creature.

"What's that?!"

Jin Ruyu opened her beautiful eyes, covering her mouth as she exclaimed.

"I'm afraid it's a demonic beast that is protecting the Radix Asterospermidis. It's at least a demon, and its strength is definitely stronger than the giant crocodile from the deep marshes."

silver hairpin said in a deep voice.

"This greater demon is probably about to break through to the demon general level, that's why I'm waiting here specially for the Radix Asterospermidis to mature, at that time, as long as I swallow the fruit, I can easily break through and become a demon general comparable to the Tongxuan realm!"

Hearing this, Ye Xing took a closer look. Ever since he had his dantian reforged by Qingtian, all aspects of his body had greatly improved. His five senses were even several times stronger than an ordinary person.

With his eyesight, he was able to see that under the cover of the swamp, there was a large snake that was as thick as a tree. This large snake's body was several times larger than the python he had encountered before!
