Is Chapter 196 very strong?
"Hahaha! Master Li, what a magnificent display of power!"
Just then, a hearty laugh came from outside the hall.
Kongming, dressed in a long robe, walked into the hall unhurriedly, his expression calm and composed.
"Master Li, this is the one who bewitched me!"
When Temujin saw that Kongming had actually appeared, he shouted to Li Xin as if he had grasped a lifeline.
In his view, no matter how strong Kongming was, it was impossible for him to confront the three major sects head-on.
Li Xin's eyes narrowed, and his sword intent surged once more as he coldly stared at Kong Ming: "Who are you? How dare you bewitch the Crown Prince and disrupt the situation of my Great Yuan?"
"Hahaha... It seems An Lushan didn't tell you the whole truth!" Kongming said with a leisurely laugh.
It's likely that An Lushan wasn't entirely sure about Kongming, fearing there might be some trap he hadn't yet discovered, which is why he hadn't revealed the Blood Drop Pavilion's affairs to the three major sects, or perhaps there was some other reason...
Li Xin frowned and snorted coldly, "Stop playing tricks! Challenging the authority of the three major sects, no matter which faction you belong to, you won't leave here alive!"
Li Xin's sword intent surged like waves, locking onto Kong Ming.
The other cultivators also formed a fan shape to block off the retreat route, preventing Kongming from escaping.
"Master Li, I suspect that this demon has some shady dealings with An Lushan, the envoy of the Ming Dynasty. The two of them have been talking in secret for a long time. I urge you, Master, to quickly capture this man and expose their conspiracy!" Seeing that Kongming was in grave danger, Temujin hurriedly shouted to Li Xin to show his loyalty.
He didn’t care whether Kongming and An Lushan were truly colluding. With the intention of exposing them, gaining merit, and clearing himself of suspicion, he stirred up the waters so that he could have a chance to live!
Li Xin's eyes turned cold, his sword intent intensified, and the spiritual sword in his hand shone brightly. He rushed towards Kong Ming like a bolt of lightning.
"Hahaha... You're dead! Master Li is the sixteenth strongest on my Great Yuan Golden Core Peak Ranking! You dare to bewitch me!" Tie Mu Jincheng shouted loudly as he saw Li Xin make his move, his face showing a crazy, fawning expression.
"Sixteen! Is that strong?"
Kongming's lips curled into an interesting smile, his eyes filled with composure and confidence.
Just as Li Xin rushed in like lightning, and the spirit sword, carrying surging sword intent, thrust forward, Kongming quietly made a hand seal in his sleeve with his left hand.
In an instant, a ring of gravitational ripples, barely visible to the naked eye, rapidly spread out from him.
Li Xin felt his body freeze, his originally swift movements suddenly became slow, and the speed of his spirit sword also slowed down, as if it had sunk into a thick swamp.
Li Xin stared wide-eyed, his face filled with disbelief. He frantically circulated his spiritual power, trying to break free from this strange constraint, but the spiritual power around him seemed to be suppressed by an invisible force, unable to flow smoothly at all.
"This...how is this possible?"
Li Xin roared. As the sixteenth-ranked cultivator on the Great Yuan Golden Core Peak Ranking, he had his own pride. As a sword cultivator, he naturally admired the spirit of forging ahead and swiftly defeating the enemy.
It's hard to accept that I'm now trapped and unable to move by this inexplicable force.
Kongming's lips curled into a mocking smile, and he made a hand seal again, causing the ripples of gravity to intensify suddenly.
At the same time, the "Old Six Beads" within his body shone brightly, continuously releasing powerful gravitational forces, causing the surrounding space to become increasingly distorted.
Under the influence of this force, Li Xin's body began to tremble uncontrollably, and the spirit sword in his hand hummed as if it could not bear the weight.
"Hmph, your pride is nothing but a joke in front of me," Kongming said coldly, like a cat playing with a mouse, since this guy had chased him down time and time again.
Seeing this, the cultivators from the other three major sects hurriedly summoned their own magical treasures to help Li Xin break free from this strange force.
"Go away!"
Li Xin shouted loudly.
He was unwilling to be humiliated. As a top sword cultivator, he had his own pride and stubbornness and was unwilling to rely on the help of others.
His eyes were bloodshot, veins bulged on his forehead, and sword intent surged wildly around him, trying to break through the power binding him.
"Humph! It's too much!"
Kongming snorted coldly, and with a gentle wave of his right hand, a palm wind that seemed gentle but contained a powerful earth force swept towards Li Xin.
"boom!"
The palm strike landed squarely on Li Xin, sending him flying backward like a kite with a broken string. He crashed heavily into a stone pillar in the main hall, instantly cracking the pillar and sending fragments flying.
"How can this be?"
"So strong!"
The other cultivators gasped in shock upon seeing this.
They had never seen anyone defeat Li Xin so easily, not even the top-ranked Golden Core cultivator on the Great Yuan Dynasty Golden Core Ranking could do it so effortlessly.
What kind of strength is this?
It should be noted that Li Xin had been famous for a long time and was definitely a top expert in the Golden Core realm, yet he was now being sent flying by this unknown person in a single move...
"Who...who...are you?"
Li Xin, supported by his sword, struggled to his feet, his eyes revealing deep apprehension and fear.
At this moment, he was dressed in rags, his hair was disheveled, and there was still blood on the corner of his mouth. He looked extremely wretched.
"With such meager strength, you dare to be presumptuous in front of me? It seems that my Blood Drop Pavilion has been absent from the cultivation world for so long that people have almost forgotten about us!" Kong Ming stood calmly with his hands behind his back, exuding a powerful aura.
"Wh...what...you're actually a remnant of the Great Qian Dynasty..."
Everyone present was taken aback.
If the remnants of the Great Qian dare to openly appear in the imperial city of the Great Yuan, it means they must have considerable confidence and a well-thought-out plan.
These Golden Core cultivators alone are probably not enough to stabilize the situation.
The group exchanged glances, all considering leaving, as they needed to report this information to their sect.
One of them threw out a gourd that was entirely red with fire. The gourd swelled up as it caught the wind, and scorching flames spewed from its mouth.
It looks like the kind of magic weapon used for escaping.
Disregarding all dignity, the group leaped up.
Seeing this, Kongming snorted coldly: "Trying to escape? Not so easy!"
He quickly formed hand seals and pressed his hand towards the gourd from a distance, causing the surrounding air to distort.
This time, he used the gravity of the "Old Six Beads" themselves, and in an instant, an extremely terrifying gravity suddenly descended.
The fiery red gourd hadn't flown far when it was as if gripped tightly by an invisible giant hand, its speed suddenly reduced, and it abruptly stopped in mid-air.
"What! He can actually suppress the escape magic treasure bestowed upon me by my sect's ancestor!"
A Xuanhuo Sect cultivator looked terrified, even doubting that the person in front of him was a Golden Core cultivator at all.
He quickly formed hand seals and silently chanted incantations, causing the gourd to suddenly spew out even more intense flames.
The flames were an eerie purplish-black, carrying wisps of destructive energy, attempting to break free from the shackles of that terrifying gravity.
what!
A hint of surprise flashed in Kongming's eyes. The gourd hadn't been pulled back to the ground immediately after he used the power of the 'Old Six Pearls'.
"That's interesting, but it's time to end this."
A faint smile played at the corners of Kongming's lips as his hands rapidly changed hand seals, increasing the output to the "Old Six Pearls"...
