Chapter 74: A Good Strategy for Murder

  Li Wenjun's slash was not sloppy, but a real deal, the length of the blade was over three feet.

  According to common sense, the power of the knife should have been effective. It was chopped on the broadsword, and at least it should have cut off a piece of the broadsword. However, what surprised him was that except for a few sparks flying out, nothing happened to the broadsword.

  Jiang Shan was overjoyed, the power of the sharp talisman was not small, turning an ordinary sword into a divine instrument that could rival the magical weapons of cultivators.

  With this divine weapon in hand, killing Li Wenjun is as easy as slaughtering a pig or dog.

  Jiang Shan thought with a hint of pride, as he held up his broadsword and continued to stab at Li Wenjun, shouting: "Li Wenjun, next year's today will be your unlucky day."

  Li Wenjun's expression changed slightly, an ordinary broadsword with a talisman attached to it would become so formidable that it could deflect flying dagger blades without being harmed. This had already exceeded his imagination. It seemed that getting rid of Jiang Shan was going to be more difficult than he had imagined.

  As soon as the broadsword stabbed over, Li Wenjun employed his Light Body Skill and lightly dodged Jiang Shan's attack.

  He estimated that he had used his magic multiple times, with fireballs and knife edges, and the light body technique was used many times, leaving little magic left in his body.

  There were only two paths laid out before him, either a swift and decisive battle or to continue using the tactics of harassment as he had just done, wearing down Jiang Shan while waiting for the effects of the talisman to wear off.

  Li Wenjun chose the former without hesitation. The night was long and dreams were many, Wu Xuemei, Wu Yiming and others escaped, if they came to rescue again, he might not be able to wait until the effect was lost, once he was forced to retreat, it would be difficult for him to find another chance to kill San Gongzi.

  In addition, Li Wenjun's past fights with others were all against ordinary people. Even Jiang Yangdaogui, a notorious thief, was just a secular person. As a cultivator, it was only natural to win against secular people, but losing would be humiliating. Jiang Shan was different, although he was an ordinary person, he had the support of talismans and temporarily possessed the ability to rival low-level cultivators, making him a temporary cultivator.

  Li Wenjun was convinced that the possibility of him meeting a real immortal cultivator in the future was getting bigger and bigger. Being a champion among ordinary people was useless, if he couldn't defeat other immortal cultivators, he would likely become a dish on the table for others to bully, only waiting to be taken advantage of. Normally, he wouldn't go around bullying others, but he also wouldn't allow others to bully him.

  To be on the safe side, he had to have a mental preparation and understand the combat power of other cultivators. Jiang Shan was a very good sparring partner, if he just hid and won in the end, he would not gain any experience, nor could he understand the combat power of other cultivators from the side.

  It's all over!

  Even if he gets hurt, it's worth it to defeat Jiang Shan under the blessing of Fu Lu. Not to mention that he has already been shot by an arrow, even if there are a few more wounds on his body, doesn't he have the green light that can automatically heal him?

  To understand the trick, Li Wenjun was no longer slippery like a mudskipper that had been soaked in oil. He faced Jiang Xuan head-on.

  Jiang Shan rushed up, Li Wenjun did not retreat or yield, and the two clashed in one place.

  You with a knife, I with a sword, in the blink of an eye, our hands exchanged more than ten moves. Li Wenjun's body added two wounds, but Jiang Shan was unscathed.

  Jiang Shan couldn't help but laugh triumphantly, all thanks to the Copper Head Iron Arm symbol. As long as the symbol's effect hadn't worn off, he was invulnerable and didn't need any protection, only needing to launch a fierce attack on Li Wenjun would do.

  Jiang Shan worried that he couldn't get rid of Li Wenjun before the time limit was up, but seeing how effective the copper-headed iron arm was, he suddenly went crazy and changed to a life-or-death fighting style. Each time, he didn't care about his own safety, letting Li Wenjun attack his vitals while he also attacked Li Wenjun's vitals.

  Li Wenjun's face turned gloomy. If he couldn't even defeat a secular person with an added symbol, then when he encountered a real cultivator, wouldn't he only have the fate of being slaughtered?

  No matter what, Jiang Shan must be killed, and he must be killed in his prime, in order to establish one's own confidence in facing other cultivators.

  Just as Li Wenjun was thinking of a good strategy, Jiang Shan's attack came again.

  After a long attack, Jiang Xue was also anxious. If he couldn't kill Li Wenjun today, then either he or the Third Master would die. As the saying goes, "Die for a friend, not for a poor dao". His own life was the most important thing.

  Conventional tactics can no longer take down Li Wenjun, so unconventional tactics must be used.

  Jiang Shan's gaze swept across Li Wenjun's body, a hint of a cold smile appearing at the corner of her mouth.

  "Li Wenjun, watch out."

  Jiang Shan swung his sword down, and Li Wenjun used the Dragon Head Goose Feather Knife to block it. The two blades clashed together in an instant.

  Just as the two were competing with each other, Jiang Shan suddenly used her free hand to slap Li Wenjun's left shoulder forcefully.

  A sharp pain suddenly rose from Li Wenjun's left shoulder, piercing his soul. His left shoulder and arm were not agile and very painful due to the arrow wound, but he could temporarily forget about it in order to duel with Jiang Shan. However, Jiang Shan intentionally tapped on the shortened arrow shaft, which not only affected the old wound but also caused the arrow cluster to continue piercing deeper, resulting in further injury. The pain was unbearable for ordinary people.

  If it were someone else, they would have fallen to the ground and fainted from just that one blow. But Jiang Xuan had calculated everything, except for one thing - Li Wenjun's nerves were far more resilient than those of ordinary people.

  Li Wenjun was only fifteen years old last year, and he could already endure the suffering of hunger, thirst, heat, loneliness and other sufferings that ordinary people could not bear, escaped from the drought-stricken area, and survived. Later, in order to cultivate himself, he endured the pain brought by the miscellaneous gas in the medicinal soup several times a day, which was comparable to the pain of being tortured, his nerves had long been developed and toughened.

  Jiang Shan's sneak attack only made Li Wenjun see black for a moment, but in the blink of an eye, Li Wenjun reacted and dodged Jiang Shan's broadsword just in time.

  Jiang Shan's sword fell empty, extremely depressed. "Li Wenjun, didn't you say you wouldn't be a coward anymore? Why are you running again?"

  Li Wenjun rubbed his extremely painful left shoulder, expressionless as he stared at Jiang Xue and said: "I want to thank you for that sneak attack earlier. It reminded me of how I should kill you."

  Jiang Shan burst out laughing and said: "Since I applied the Copper Head Iron Arm Seal, only about 150 breaths have passed, but I can still maintain a state of invincibility to blades for several hundred more breaths. With this amount of time, it's enough for me to kill you. Li Wenjun, accept your death."

  Jiang Shan was confidently mocking Li Wenjun, and at the same time, like a hawk swooping down on a rabbit, he charged towards Li Wenjun.

  Li Wenjun pursed his lips, looking at Jiang Xue, his left hand trembling as he raised it, a weak fireball forming in his palm. As Jiang Xue rushed over, Li Wenjun pushed the fireball out.
