#192 - Do you like Xu Ming? (4000 words, two in one)
“Gentlemen, perhaps you should stop advancing.”
A middle-aged man stood in front of Xu Ming and the others.
This middle-aged man was wearing a loose robe, and the deep V-neck revealed his chest and abdominal muscles.
He probably thought he looked handsome dressed like that.
The middle-aged man's gaze swept over Mo Zhu'er beside Xu Ming, and his eyes instantly locked on her.
“Rumor has it that the Holy Maiden of the Black Lotus Sect is as beautiful as an angel. Seeing her today, it's indeed well-deserved. I've seen so many women, but compared to Miss Mo, they are all mere ordinary women.” Cui Renwang seemed very thirsty, licking his lips, the meaning radiating from his eyes was self-evident.
Looking at the man blocking her way, Mo Zhu'er felt a wave of nausea.
Although Xu Ming sometimes abused her, dripping candles on her and making her roast meat, he was still many times better than this man.
The simplest point was that Xu Ming's gaze towards her did not have that kind of beastly violation.
“Is Your Excellency the Sect Master of the Joyful Union Sect?” Xu Ming asked.
Judging from the pressure emanating from this man, Xu Ming estimated that this man should be in the Nascent Soul Realm.
And according to Mo Zhu'er, the current Sect Master of the Joyful Union Sect is in the Nascent Soul Realm.
“Indeed.” Cui Renwang respectfully cupped his fist in a salute, “I am Cui Renwang, the Sect Master of the Joyful Union Sect. I've heard that the驸马爺 is extraordinarily handsome, and seeing him today, it's indeed so.”
“I wonder what matter Sect Master Cui is looking for us for?” Xu Ming asked knowingly.
“It's nothing much, just wanting to invite the two of you to my Joyful Union Sect for some wine and to entertain you properly.” Cui Renwang said with a smile, “Otherwise, if word gets out, others will think that my Joyful Union Sect doesn't know how to treat guests.”
“Sect Master Cui is too kind, but we are in a hurry to get on our way, perhaps another time.” Xu Ming replied.
“Don't say another time, when will that be? This time, this time is best.”
As soon as Cui Renwang finished speaking, the Joyful Union Sect disciples surrounding Xu Ming took another step closer.
Xu Ming glanced around: “It seems that the Sect Master wants to forcibly invite us as guests. Wouldn't it be bad if this kind of thing got out?”
Cui Renwang smiled: “It is indeed bad, but who would know tonight? It won't get out.”
Xu Ming sneered: “It seems that the Joyful Union Sect is really hospitable.”
Cui Renwang stroked his chin: “Our Joyful Union Sect doesn't have anything good, but there is one thing, and that is hospitality.”
“Is that so?”
As soon as Xu Ming finished speaking, Cui Renwang's pupils constricted.
In just an instant, Xu Ming arrived in front of Cui Renwang, and a whip-like leg directly smashed towards Cui Renwang.
Even though Cui Renwang was in the Nascent Soul Realm, his physical strength was far inferior to Xu Ming's. Moreover, under the sudden attack, Cui Renwang didn't react and was directly kicked away by Xu Ming, raising several meters of dust in the forest.
“Go!”
Xu Ming shouted at Mo Zhu'er.
Mo Zhu'er reacted and followed Xu Ming to break through forward.
But at this moment, the black clouds in the night sky turned into a large hand and grabbed towards Xu Ming and the others.
Mo Zhu'er frowned, waved her sleeves, and the night wind turned into a wind dragon, tearing the black cloud hand to pieces!
“Junior Sister, long time no see.”
A man came stepping on black clouds, followed by an old servant.
“Heh heh.” Mo Zhu'er sneered a few times, “I was wondering why the Joyful Union Sect would come looking for trouble with me so readily, so it was Senior Brother's idea.”
“Eh? You can't say that.” Ji Wuming shook his head, “I actually don't know what happened. I just rushed over here.”
“You just rushed over here and attacked me? Senior Brother is really impatient.” Mo Zhu'er's eyes curved.
“Did I just attack Junior Sister? Sorry, sorry, I just mistook someone. Actually, I wanted to help Junior Sister.” Cui Renwang apologized and cupped his fist.
Mo Zhu'er didn't say anything more, just secretly told Xu Ming, “That person is one of the Holy Sons of the Black Lotus Sect, Ji Wuming.”
Hearing this name, Xu Ming's brows twitched, thinking to himself whether he had a brother named Ji Wubing.
“驸马爺 is really rude. I invited驸马爺 to be a guest, but驸马爺 kicked me. The top scorer of Wu Kingdom, is he so ignorant of etiquette?”
Cui Renwang flew over and patted the dust off his body.
“Here!”
Xu Ming didn't say much, leading Mo Zhu'er to break through in another direction.
“Everyone, attack! Whoever catches these two people will be rewarded with a hundred high-grade spirit stones! This驸马爺 will be a cauldron for female cultivators, and male disciples will have the opportunity to enjoy Mo Zhu'er!”
With Cui Renwang's order, it was no longer necessary to pretend.
The Joyful Union Sect disciples charged towards Xu Ming and the others.
The female cultivators of the Joyful Union Sect had been craving Xu Ming's thick blood qi for a long time.
“Courting death!”
These Joyful Union Sect disciples were not to be feared. After Xu Ming blasted a few people to death with his fists, these Joyful Union Sect disciples who were greedy for life and afraid of death dared not move forward.
The main thing was still Cui Renwang and Mo Zhu'er's Senior Brother.
Xu Ming broke through the encirclement of the Joyful Union Sect, but Cui Renwang and Mo Zhu'er's Senior Brother kept closely behind, and Xu Ming couldn't shake them off.
“Sheng Sheng, you go first! Fly straight ahead to Xuan Yue City!” Xu Ming said to Shen Sheng.
“Awoo…” Shen Sheng hugged Xu Ming's neck tightly and shook her head.
“Be obedient.” Xu Ming rubbed her little head, “You're not deserting, but going to Xuan Yue City to get reinforcements. Whether I can live or not depends on you!”
“…” Shen Sheng looked at Xu Ming seriously.
Although Shen Sheng didn't want to leave Xu Ming, looking at Xu Ming's serious and solemn eyes, Shen Sheng knew that she might really have to rely on herself to save him.
Shen Sheng clenched her fists in front of her, and with a hard effort, a pair of black wings grew out of Shen Sheng's back, tearing through her clothes.
Shen Sheng flew towards Xuan Yue City, her speed extremely fast.
Cui Renwang wanted to stop Shen Sheng, but Xu Ming's big foot had already appeared in front of Cui Renwang's eyes.
“Boom!”
Cui Renwang blocked with his arms, and was directly kicked away by Xu Ming for several meters.
“Could it be that you really think you can hold out until the people from Xuan Yue City come?” Cui Renwang smiled, “And why would they come out of the city to help you?”
“Who knows?”
Xu Ming tilted his head, his blood qi soared, enveloping his whole body, and the Dao Pattern Eyes reappeared.
Xu Ming stepped forward, his fist as big as a sandbag, directly blasting towards Cui Renwang's head.
Cui Renwang protected his arm with spiritual power, forcibly taking this punch from Xu Ming, but his tiger's mouth was numb from the shock.
Cui Renwang made a hand knife with his other hand, cutting towards Xu Ming's waist.
Xu Ming kicked him in the chest, using the force to pull away, dodging this blow.
The wind blade turned into a hand knife cut off a small mountain head.
Cui Renwang pinched a magic seal, and the illusions of nine women surrounded Xu Ming, constantly laughing and giggling, their appearance extremely charming.
However, Xu Ming remained unmoved, leaped up, and slashed down with his long sword towards Cui Renwang's head.
Cui Renwang dodged this sword, and a mountain head was actually split in half by Xu Ming.
“What a fierce sword qi.” Cui Renwang praised.
This Xu Ming's sword qi didn't seem like an ordinary Cave Heaven Realm at all.
Cui Renwang was even very puzzled, why could Xu Ming fight back and forth with himself in the Nascent Soul Realm?
But this Xu Ming was only so-so.
In the face of absolute realm strength, no matter how talented Xu Ming was, it was useless!
Cui Renwang took out his natal magic weapon, which was a jade flute.
As the sound of the flute rang, the surrounding wind blades blew towards Xu Ming, Xu Ming scattered them with a punch, but those wind blades had already cut several bloodstains on Xu Ming's fist.
Xu Ming frowned, held the Nine Heavens Cloud Lightning Sword, the sword qi turned into a raging wave, and slashed down, the surging tide pounced towards Cui Renwang.
Cui Renwang's flute sound became more and more intense, breaking through Xu Ming's sword qi.
The Heaven Opening Fist had arrived.
Xu Ming hammered a mountain-shaking punch towards Cui Renwang's chest.
Cui Renwang held the flute horizontally, blocking this punch.
Spiritual power and martial artist's true qi collided, and both Xu Ming and Cui Renwang flew backwards.
Cui Renwang quickly stopped, Xu Ming flew hundreds of meters, his chest felt stuffy, his throat felt sweet, and he spat out a mouthful of blood.
“With your realm, being able to fight me for ten rounds is already extremely difficult.” Cui Renwang looked at Xu Ming, marveling, “If you were given enough time, I really don't know what kind of world you would create.”
Xu Ming smiled: “Then how about letting me go?”
Cui Renwang patted the jade flute in his hand: “Then you're thinking too much.”
“Then there's no way.” Xu Ming sneered.
The martial artist's true qi and spiritual power around Xu Ming soared.
Gusts of night wind blew from the night sky, blowing towards Xu Ming's body.
Around Xu Ming, an invisible vortex was actually formed!
On the other side, Mo Zhu'er kicked Ji Wuming and his old servant away, looked in Xu Ming's direction, her eyes trembled, and shouted: “Xu Ming! Are you crazy?”
“Miss Mo is indeed right, are you crazy?” Cui Renwang looked at Xu Ming, “You actually want to break through to the Heroic Soul Realm and the Ocean Viewing Realm at the same time, even if you succeed, so what? Don't you think that with you just reaching these two realms, you can kill me? Moreover, your foundation is unstable, and if you enter forcibly, I'm afraid it will damage your bones, and you will have difficulty entering the Nascent Soul Realm in this life.”
“So what?” Xu Ming smiled, “Rather than dying here, I always have to fight to the death, otherwise where will the future come from? Don't really wait for others to come and save me?”
And in Xu Ming's words, the martial artist's true qi and spiritual power around Xu Ming were constantly entangled.
Cui Renwang could only watch blankly from the side.
It wasn't that Cui Renwang was waiting here for him to break through, wanting to have a head-on confrontation with him.
Rather, the martial artist's true energy and spiritual power surrounding Xu Ming had reached a terrifying level.
Even Cui Renwang didn't dare to easily step forward, fearing he would suffer serious injuries.
"Junior Sister is really worried about him," Ji Wuming said with a smile, looking at Mo Zhu'er. "Could it be that Junior Sister has secretly fallen for him?"
"Get lost!"
Mo Zhu'er raised the soft sword in her hand, the soft sword stabbing towards Ji Wuming like a snake, Ji Wuming dodging away.
"Junior Sister is getting angry out of embarrassment," Ji Wuming opened his fan and fanned himself. "What exactly is so charming about this man that could make Junior Sister secretly fall for him?"
Mo Zhu'er ignored Ji Wuming, her attention mostly on Xu Ming.
In the eyes of others, the only consequence of Xu Ming forcibly entering the Guanhai Realm and the Xiongpo Realm with an unstable foundation was damage to his foundation, affecting his path to greatness.
But Mo Zhu'er knew there was an even worse situation.
Originally, the martial artist's true energy and spiritual power in Xu Ming's body were already incompatible, and his body's ability to withstand them was already close to its limit.
But now, Xu Ming's martial artist realm and Qi Refiner realm were about to rise to another level, could his body really withstand it?
It would be a blessing if Xu Ming didn't self-destruct.
It wasn't that she liked this bastard.
But if Xu Ming died, then she would be even more miserable.
Besides that...
It would be a pity if a man like Xu Ming died.
Although people like him were annoying, they were indeed rare in this world.
"You deal with your senior brother, you don't need to worry about me," Xu Ming said to Mo Zhu'er.
"Boom!"
The next moment, with a loud bang around Xu Ming, martial artist's true energy and spiritual power spread out at the same time, continuously scattering towards the sky.
Xu Ming took a deep breath.
He clenched his fist, never feeling his strength so abundant.
He could even feel the strength of his soul. Ordinary wandering ghosts would probably avoid him when they saw him.
Some soul-targeting spells would also be difficult to take effect on him.
Is this the Xiongpo Realm?
Majestic Soul.
Xu Ming felt like a stone from the inside out.
In addition, Xu Ming noticed that his sea of consciousness had changed from a lake to a vast ocean, and his divine sense had transformed into a small person, standing on the shore, looking at this ocean.
Guanhai Realm.
Compared to the Dongfu Realm, the biggest improvement lies in the improvement of the quality of spiritual power.
Xu Ming carefully felt every inch of change in his body.
Cui Renwang, who was standing in front of Xu Ming, frowned.
If Cui Renwang was worried about being affected by the true energy and spiritual power when he watched Xu Ming break through earlier.
Now, Cui Renwang didn't step forward entirely because Xu Ming exuded a terrifying aura all over his body.
Cui Renwang didn't want to admit this feeling.
But Cui Renwang really had a feeling that he might be killed by this man!
Speaking of which, has there ever been a martial artist who reached the Xiongpo Realm and Guanhai Realm at the same time before?
"Want to try?" Xu Ming looked at Cui Renwang and said.
"Huh?"
As soon as Cui Renwang questioned, Xu Ming's figure arrived in front of Cui Renwang.
"Thump!"
With a kick, this kick was extremely fast. Cui Renwang only saw a afterimage, followed by a burst of pain in his body!
"Boom!"
Cui Renwang was kicked by Xu Ming towards a small mountain, smashing a huge rock on the mountain top.
"What exactly is this..."
"Young Master!"
On the other side, when Ji Wuming suspected that he was dreaming, Xu Ming had already arrived in front of Ji Wuming.
Xu Ming slashed his sword towards Ji Wuming.
Ji Wuming dodged to the side.
The sword, which was originally intended to split Cui Renwang in half, cut off Ji Wuming's arm.
