Chapter 860 Seizing the Li Ding
Zhang Qian didn't know whether there was anyone in the Tianjian Sect, which was known as the source of the world's sword arts, who had cultivated to the level of breaking all laws with one sword. If not, this short old man outside could kill the entire Tianjian Sect with just one sword.

Even with such a terrifying level of swordsmanship, this old man is unrivaled in the world, and even the Tiandao Sect may be killed by his sword.

In the hands of this unknown old man, there is no difference between sword energy, sword rainbow, sword light and sword brightness. When he swings it casually, it is the supreme sword art, the great killing technique that can break all the laws.

Zhang Qian even suspected that the power of his innate chaotic sword energy might only be comparable to the opponent's casual sword energy.

"Why is there such an old monster hidden in the Great Xia Cauldron? What is he doing hiding in the cauldron? And judging from his appearance, the cauldron may have been refined by him a long time ago."

The fiery red cauldron is most likely the Daxia Li Ding, which is of the fire element. The short old man is hiding inside the Daxia Li Ding, and the Li Ding has obviously been activated by it. It is unknown whether the old man is refining the illusory sword shadow or refining himself inside the Li Ding.

"Come out! Are you and the ancestor from the same clan? Your ability to hide is indeed brilliant, but how long can you hide in front of the ancestor?"

The old man was shouting outside, but Zhang Qian ignored him. However, the old man's words about being of the same clan made him think a lot and make some vague guesses.

He was just about to control the broken jade to leave quietly, although he was very reluctant, as the Great Xia Nine Cauldrons was right in front of him and he had no way to deal with it, but he did not want to provoke this terrifying old man again.

He had enough enemies already.

But before he could make any move, the old man moved first. He pointed the illusory sword in his palm, and a strange scene appeared. Billions of sword energies shot out, and all the sword energies circled as if they had spirits, cutting off the space inside the hall neatly.

Buzz!
Immediately afterwards, billions of sword energies intertwined into a large spherical net, tightly binding the cut space, and this space began to shrink and condense rapidly under the compression of the sword net.

"this……!"

Zhang Qian's face changed, and his broken jade appeared in the space bound by the sword net. He found that the inside of this bound space was filled with the old man's consciousness with terrifying sword intent, and there was no gap at all.

As long as the broken jade moves, it will be discovered by the old man immediately. Although Zhang Qian is very sure that the old man will not be able to break his broken jade even if he is discovered, he does not want the broken jade to be exposed.

Seeing that the space bounded by the sword net was getting smaller and smaller, Zhang Qian's mind raced, thinking about how to escape, but he had no idea. Without exposing the broken jade, he had no way.

"Is it possible to only expose the broken jade?"

Just when he was extremely unwilling, changes occurred again.

Swish!
A vague afterimage suddenly rushed into the hall. This afterimage was incredibly fast and ignored the ubiquitous rules. After flashing twice, it came directly to the front of the fiery red Daxiali Ding.

"Hahahaha, you damned rat, you also have times when you lose focus, so I won't be polite if that happens!"

A laugh that Zhang Qian was very familiar with rang out, and the afterimage stretched out his hand and grabbed the tripod directly, ignoring the terrifying heat wave of the Da Xia Li Ding.

"Be bold!"

The old man let out a piercing shout and did not bother to look for Zhang Qian anymore. He simply dispersed the sword net and drew a terrifying sword light towards the figure who had taken away the Da Xia Li Ding.

The power of this sword light was shocking. Countless regular threads were cut by the sword light at an indescribable speed.

Zhang Qian took the opportunity to escape and looked closely. The figure who had taken the Da Xia Li Ding did not dodge or evade the old man's terrifying sword light, but turned around and blocked the Da Xia Li Ding in front of himself.

Chi!
The sword light turned rapidly, as if it was reluctant to pierce the Great Xia Li Ding, and spared it. When the short old man reappeared, he shouted angrily: "Crazy Taoist, you haven't given up yet. It seems that the sword that the ancestor rewarded you last time was too light. Go to hell!"

The figure who took away the Great Xia Li Ding was the Mad Taoist. After recognizing the Mad Taoist, Zhang Qian was delighted. Just as he was about to step forward to help, he heard the Mad Taoist hurriedly shouting: "Zhang Qian, quickly go to the back of the hall. That is the old monster's lair. There is something in the old monster's lair that can resist the sword shadow in his hand!"

It seemed that the crazy Taoist priest had known that Zhang Qian was here for a long time, or he had been waiting in secret for a long time.

Hearing the crazy Taoist's shout, Zhang Qian immediately made a decision, turned into a red rainbow, and flew quickly into the depths of the hall.

"Don't think about it!"

The old man became anxious and was about to step forward to stop Zhang Qian, but the crazy Taoist raised his hand and shot out six reincarnation black holes, sucking in the surrounding time and space, causing the old man's body to pause slightly. In just this slight pause, Zhang Qian had already flown over.

The speed of the Rainbow Transformation Technique was so fast that in less than a blink of an eye, it had already reached the depths of the hall.

A dark cave appeared here. The entrance of the cave was not big, as if it was dug by some animal. It was right in the corner of the hall.

“Could it be that the old man’s lair is this cave?”

Zhang Qian was a little puzzled, but this was not the time to think too much. He turned around and rushed into the cave. The cave was unexpectedly small. If Zhang Qian had not turned into rainbow light, he would not have been able to stand up straight inside.

Moreover, the cave was extremely long and winding, with many twists and turns. After turning it countless times, the view in front of me suddenly opened up.

Squeak, squeak, squeak...!
Suddenly, a group of people appeared with screams. Zhang Qian looked carefully and found that this spacious space was decorated extremely luxuriously, with gold everywhere, and the floor was covered with soft carpets made of snow-white fur.

Those strange squeaking creatures were actually hundreds of beautiful white rat spirits with rat tails trailing behind them.

He was frightened by so many white rat spirits, and was relieved only when he saw the cultivation levels of these white rat spirits. The cultivation levels of these white rat spirits were not high, and only a few of them were at the demon fairy level.

"Why does this old monster keep so many white rat spirits in his lair? Could it be that the old monster is also a rat in disguise?"

He ignored the white rat spirit that kept screaming at him. He glanced around and immediately saw that in the center of the space, there was a deep pool that looked like a yin-yang fish. Half of the pool was filled with scorching flames, and the other half was filled with endlessly cold running water.

And at the intersection of yin and yang, there was a sword blank floating that looked like a green rainbow!

The sword blank has not been sharpened yet, is only three feet long, and does not contain any sword meaning. It is just a simple sword blank.

"Could it be that this is the sword blank that the crazy Taoist is talking about?"

After looking again and seeing that there was nothing else in the space, he flew up and grabbed the sword blank.

Swish swish!
Those white rat spirits were not happy and attacked Zhang Qian one after another. Zhang Qian flicked his sleeves and all the white rat spirits were blown away. To his surprise, he grasped the sword blank very smoothly without encountering any obstacles or seals.

"How come it's going so smoothly? Is this sword blank the thing the crazy Taoist priest mentioned? Forget it, never mind!"

He did not even take a close look at the sword in his hand. He turned into rainbow light again and flew out of the cave.
