Invincible!

Chapter 93 Destruction
Accept the challenge?

Xu Qi glanced at the two corpses in the courtyard...

Not only did he fail to properly explain the matter of Senior Brother Chen and subdue Li Xian, the top outer sect disciple, but he was also attacked by Li Xian, resulting in the loss of two elite members of the Immortal Light Society!

This is a blatant slap in the face in front of everyone!

If this matter is not handled properly, not only will his prestige be damaged, but the Immortal Light Society will also lose face!
Therefore, even though he could see that Li Xian was very strong, stronger than any of the geniuses that their Immortal Light Society had ever suppressed, he had no choice but to fight now that things had come to this!

"I have failed my senior brother's trust and messed things up. I will take charge of settling this matter once and for all."

Xu Qi remained resolute and accepted the challenge.

“Li Xian, I started learning martial arts at the age of thirteen, entered the sect at the age of twenty-two, and entered the inner sect seven years later. It has been sixteen years since then, and I have been on the list of candidates for the Dao twice!”

He slowly lifted his long robe, revealing two short swords, one on each side: "If you defeat me today, you will surely have a place on the list of candidates for the Daoist path; if you fail..."

"Does not exist."

Li Xiandao said, "I will not fail."

"Ha, you're really confident!"

"It's not confidence, it's just stating a fact! Even in the moment before my consciousness completely faded away, I didn't believe I would lose!"

"..."

Xu Qi understood what Li Xian meant and fell silent.

At that moment, he even felt a slight pang of regret.

Is it worth it for the Immortal Light Society to face off against such a prodigy just for Bai Luo's sake?
But the moment that thought appeared in his mind, he forcibly suppressed it!
There's no such thing as "worth it" or "not worth it"!

There is no good or evil, right or wrong!
He is a senior deacon of the Immortal Light Society!
Anyone who opposes the Immortal Light Society must die!

"call out!"

The next moment, Xu Qi sprang up and appeared before Li Xian like a ghost.

From extreme stillness to extreme movement, it all happened in an instant.

Such a sudden attack would catch anyone else off guard.

But Li Xian has always maintained an overlimit state, and he never underestimates any opponent!
No investigation, no right to speak!
The strength or weakness of a team can only be judged after a fight!
As Xu Qi suddenly attacked, Li Xian's sword also flashed out like lightning.

Sword energy pierces the sky!

The sharp, penetrating force tore a bloody gash across Xu Qi's cheek as he charged in.

But before the bloodstain could dissipate, his figure seemed to vanish.

On the other side, the short knife slashed forward, tearing at his arm with a mere millimeter's width of precision, seemingly aiming to sever it completely.

"Invisible Illusion!"

Li Xian instantly recognized the origin of this movement technique.

Using extreme speed, one can create an illusion.

When he was choosing the Ten Steps, he had seen this movement technique, but he felt that it was too versatile and lacked sustained power.

Once the advantage of "first impression kill" is lost, and the enemy sees through it and is on guard, it becomes almost impossible to be effective.

This is probably why he made the list twice but couldn't maintain his ranking.

As his thoughts raced, Li Xian's arm jerked, and the hilt of his sword retracted, precisely deflecting the blade of the short knife.

The two collided, but there was no thunderous clang of metal striking metal.

The short knife seemed light and powerless, and was directly struck by the hilt, launched into the air, and drifted away.

But the short knife in Xu Qi's other arm was already tearing straight toward his throat with a nimble and unpredictable force.

"die!"

With a low roar, the blade energy erupted!
These two strikes, one in front and one behind, one feint and one real, perfectly demonstrate the perilous nature of dual swordsmanship.

Just as Xu Qi unleashed his sword energy, advancing relentlessly and reaching only a hair's breadth from Li Xian's throat, the sharp sword energy seemed to have crashed into a wall.

"Oh!"

The blade's energy shattered!
Everything came to an abrupt end.

hand!
Li Xian's hand!

He actually used his bare hands to block the blade's forward tearing motion, preventing the deadly strike from advancing even an inch further!
Xu Qi's pupils contracted sharply!

There was no time to think about why Li Xian was able to block the swallowtail double swords in his hand, which were worth 6,800 merit points, with just one palm.

His first strike missed, but the light of his blade had already changed once more.

The innate vital energy within the body surged.

With the help of some secret technique, the true energy in his body surged like waves, advancing layer by layer. Finally, the three streams of true energy combined to form a blade aura that was no less powerful than a fully charged strike.

The blade energy, wrapped around its edge, shifted and swung, like a thunderbolt in mid-air, fiercely tearing towards Li Xian's eyes.

The speed and explosive power are so great that it's overwhelming!

"Oh!"

It's still just a fleshy paw!
The flashing blades were once again intercepted by this palm.

With a roar, Xu Qi unleashed his secret technique, squeezing out his innate true energy like a raging tsunami, causing the blade to retrace and shift in an unbelievable manner the instant it was blocked!
Eyes, nose, throat, heart...

The sword flashes!

He actually stabbed six times in less than a breath!

The key is that each strike is accompanied by an explosion of blade energy, capable of shattering metal and gold!

but……

Even though he unleashed his power time and again, striking with incredible speed, Li Xian's hand remained an insurmountable wall, blocking all of Xu Qi's hopes of victory.

The sharp blade energy shattered repeatedly upon colliding with flesh and blood, cutting through Li Xian's clothes, but it couldn't leave even a trace of blood on his skin, which shone with a crimson glow.

"Crimson True Body!"

Xu Qi recognized him immediately.

The true origin of this protective technique can be identified by its crimson light.

Crimson True Form!

It was actually the true form of the Crimson Extreme!
All the cultivation techniques and secret arts practiced by inner disciples can be divided into three, six, and nine grades!

The higher the price, the harder it is to cultivate, and the more miraculous it becomes!

Most inner disciples' sword and saber techniques are only at the level of one or two thousand skill points, and his Shadowless Illusionary Body is only at two thousand eight hundred!
But the true form of the Crimson Extreme...

Six thousand merits!

It's more than just one level above! In an instant, Xu Qi's heart plummeted to the lowest point.

"Buzz!"

At a certain moment, Li Xian's hand, which had blocked the blade, transformed into a clasp, precisely catching the blade that was aimed at his heart...

The moment Xu Qi realized that his bare hands had caught his blade and that he had taken control of the short knife, the hairs on his body stood on end.

Without any hesitation, he withdrew abruptly!

Furthermore, in the instant he retreated, his figure flashed, and his Shadowless Illusion caused his retreating body to split in two again in mid-air...

"call out!"

The short knife, which had been held captive, was thrown through the air!

Xu Qi's illusory body was torn apart by the short sword.

next moment……

A suffocating sense of oppression washed over me.

Even though he couldn't "see" Li Xian's body, his battle instincts, honed through countless battles, still made him unleash his true energy once again.

"break!"

With a roar, he poured almost all his true energy into another short sword in his hand, transforming it into a blade aura that tore through the void, slashing straight at him.

"boom!"

As the blade was slashed out, an immense force, with overwhelming momentum, erupted from its edge!

Li Xian, who had suddenly charged forward in ten steps, clenched his fist and unleashed a powerful punch straight at him!
The fist energy and the sword energy collided heavily in the void.

First, a powerful punch!

First, the ultimate strike!

The difference in quality is immediately apparent!

The penetrating force almost shattered Xu Qi's hand holding the knife. He was already in the process of retreating, and his entire body was sent flying backward by this direct punch.

"kill!"

Just as Xu Qi was sent flying and lost his balance, a loud shout suddenly came from the side.

However, Zhu Shan, the black-clad man who had been stopped by Xu Qi earlier, suddenly sprang up when he sensed the danger Xu Qi was in. His battle blade, carrying a devastating force that seemed to cleave the heavens and earth, brought down with a devastating crash.

The blade energy that tore through the void went forward relentlessly, seemingly capable of shattering everything in its path!
only……

Why did Li Xian block all six of Xu Qi's consecutive slashes with only one arm?
Firstly, it's not needed!
Secondly...

in case!

How can one not be vigilant when killing someone in the enemy's stronghold?
Yesterday, Xu Qi from Jumang Peak kicked the door open and made him realize that there were plenty of ways to circumvent the so-called sect rules.

Just like now, in a life-or-death struggle, someone suddenly intervenes.

What's the cost?
At worst...

A life for a life!

Therefore, at this moment, when the man in black, Zhu Shan, suddenly attacked with his knife and unleashed this first strike that was clearly the result of a long period of preparation and was earth-shattering, Li Xian's sword, which was ready to strike, had already been thrust out with lightning speed!
The not-so-profound innate true energy, empowered by the vast and boundless power of blood and qi, transformed into blood-red innate true qi, which was then transformed into sharp sword qi by the Qiankun Sword Manual, and then...

Sword energy pierces the sky!

With a sharpness and ferocity almost imperceptible to the naked eye, it pierced through the chest of the black-clad man, Zhu Shan, instantly shattering his internal organs.

Even his body, which was lunging down, was struck by a tremendous force, shuddering violently and flying backward.

fast!
Incredibly fast!

And it wasn't until the black-clad man, Zhu Shan, was pierced through...

"Boom!"

A thunderous roar erupted from the two people, who were less than two meters apart.

"Sword energy... Thunderous sound..."

Zhu Shan uttered those four words with difficulty.

His tall body fell backward.

"call out!"

The next moment, Li Xian's figure flashed and pounced, appearing beside Xu Qi.

He thrust out with his left hand as before, piercing through the void and directly seizing the knife in Xu Qi's hand.

Having regained his footing, Xu Qi mustered his courage and unleashed a powerful slash.

But this time, the force Li Xian unleashed was no longer a snap, a capture, or a interception, but rather a shock, a tremor, and a collapse!

The short sword, a magical artifact, was struck three times in a row the instant it collided with Li Xian's flesh and blood hand!
As the final burst of force landed, Xu Qi could no longer hold onto the dagger, which had been forged through countless hammer blows. Blood spurted from his palm as the dagger shattered his finger bones and fractured his wrist bones, flying away as it bounced off.

After the short knife was knocked away, Li Xian suddenly reached out with his left hand, turning his fist into a palm.

Xu Qi clearly saw all the changes contained in this palm strike, but he didn't have time to raise his hand to block it. In the end, he could only watch helplessly as the palm strike hit his chest...

"No!"

Explosion of power!

The powerful force that pierced through his chest was like thunder, shattering all his internal organs.

He was blasted more than ten meters away by the force of the palm strike, crashing heavily onto the armchair they had just moved out, smashing the chair to pieces.

Xu Qi, who had fallen to the ground, was filled with murderous intent. He struggled to get up and fight again, supporting himself with his hands on the ground.

but……

The complete destruction of the internal organs ultimately caused this body to lose all its proper physiological functions.

Blood mixed with fragments of internal organs kept spilling from his mouth.

Such severe injuries cannot be reversed by willpower.

"Your swordsmanship is good, but your skill is lacking."

Li gave his evaluation first.

after all……

Xu Qi couldn't get up; he lay there, still staring intently at Li Xian, until…

Lost voice.

　That's all for tonight. Everyone get some rest. See you tomorrow at noon.
