Traveling through time to cultivate immortality: a life and death test

After testing his defense, Liu Xing decided to test his offensive power. He took out his mantis hammer and quickly charged it with full force, smashing it towards Duan Tiangen.

"Another top-grade magic weapon!" Everyone exclaimed, amazed at the number of top-grade magic weapons Liu Xing had.

Duan Tiangen felt the immense pressure of the Mantis Hammer, which was no less powerful than the talisman, and the speed at which it was activated was so fast that his face suddenly changed. He hurriedly took out a ghost claw and sacrificed it to resist. This was his famous magic weapon, the "Netherworld Claw", which was made by sacrificing an arm of a thousand-year-old zombie. It was extremely strong, and the corpse poison on it would kill anyone who touched it. It was also a top-grade magic weapon. The Mantis Hammer went from top to bottom, and the Netherworld Claw went from bottom to top, barely blocking it. Duan Tiangen desperately injected spiritual energy into it, not daring to let the Mantis Hammer fall. Liu Xing, however, had a relaxed and comfortable posture, and seemed quite at ease. At this moment, the winner was clear.

Duan Tiangen's forehead was covered in sweat, and he decided to fight to the death. Suddenly, a skull flew out of his chest, emitting an eerie "hehe" sound. This was his second greatest treasure, the "Green Skull." He quickly cut off three of his own fingers and fed them to the Green Skull's mouth. The Green Skull rapidly chewed the flesh, emitting an eerie cry of excitement. Its aura gradually expanded, and it unexpectedly reached the strength of a late Foundation Establishment stage. This was like having an invisible helper of the same level. A normal opponent would naturally cry out in pain. Liu Xing observed all this and calmly summoned the Jellyfish Bag magic weapon, enveloping the Green Skull. No matter how it struggled, it could not escape. Another top-grade magic weapon, everyone was numb. However, they did not realize that Liu Xing was wielding five top-grade magic weapons simultaneously, far surpassing those of his peers. Only the three Jindan masters saw the true nature of the situation and knew that Liu Xing had already won.

Liu Xing seemed to realize he'd been too overconfident. After the Dutian Corpse Fire died out, he sheathed his Loggerhead Turtle Shield, Blue Helmet, and Sharkskin Armor, concentrating on controlling his Mantis Hammer and Jellyfish Pocket. The battle had entered a stalemate, with Liu Xing's mana and spiritual awareness clearly superior. Duan Tiangen was now suffering terribly, struggling to hold on. He had always been wary of the inner sect's true disciples and had never taken the outer sect seriously. Today, he'd stumbled upon this freak, Liu Xing. His decades of success in the outer sect, unrivaled, had made him somewhat complacent, and now he regretted it deeply. His pursuit of Su Yingying was a spur-of-the-moment decision, devoid of any deep affection. His usual domineering nature, his ability to get whatever he wanted within the outer sect, had led him to lose himself. Looking back, it was entirely his own fault. If he were given another chance, he would maintain a low profile, cultivate diligently, and refrain from these pointless battles.

Liu Xing, never merciful towards his enemies, saw his opponent's mana draining immensely and gradually failing. He summoned his Manta Saw Wheel, a magical artifact, and crushed the Green Skull with a single blow. Duan Tiangen had been nurturing the Green Skull with his essence and blood, and the two had long been connected by blood. With the Green Skull's destruction, Duan Tiangen vomited blood, his vitality severely damaged. Finally, his Nether Claw's power ran out, and the Mantis Hammer fell with a thud.

"No!" Duan Tiangen roared in frustration, but he was powerless to fight back. He watched helplessly as the mantis hammer fell, smashing him into a pile of flesh and blood. The number one man in the outer sect died in a meaningless fight. It was tragic. After a long while, the audience finally reacted and let out a thunderous roar.

"Senior Brother Liu won!"

"Senior Brother Liu is so awesome!"

"Senior Brother Liu is undoubtedly the number one outer sect member!"

Liu Xing put away his own magical instruments, along with Duan Tiangen's storage bag and Netherworld Claw. These were his trophies, so he accepted them without hesitation. He simultaneously cast a fire talisman, reducing Duan Tiangen's remains to ash. He remained calm, neither sad nor happy, as if doing all this was a matter of course. This attitude was unmatched by anyone present, as his experiences far surpassed those of ordinary people. After completing this, he bowed to the Jindan steward on the higher platform in gratitude. The steward quickly returned the gesture, treating him as a fellow Daoist of the same rank. He then bowed to the crowd below, thanking them for their support. He then flew back to his friends in the crowd, and everyone dispersed. While the projection in the central square lacked the powerful aura of the arena, the live broadcast still captured the Qi training disciples' excitement. This is a battle of justice defeating evil, and a love story of a hero saving a beauty. It inspires this group of young people to forge ahead bravely. Each of them takes Liu Xing as an example and starts a trend of learning from Liu Xing.

"Junior Brother Liu, well done!" Qian Botong and Huang Shan came over to congratulate him. They had worried for nothing, as the outcome was so unexpected.

"Brother Liu, you are so awesome! I want to learn from you!" Yue Qianjun ran over and looked at Liu Xing with admiration.

"Brother Liu, are you hurt?" Su Yingying came over and naturally took his arm, asking with concern. She was in tears at this moment, overjoyed that Brother Liu had defeated the enemy, and she was also crying with joy that she had escaped Duan Tiangen's clutches.

"Yingying, everything is fine. You can practice now with peace of mind." Liu Xing took out his handkerchief and lovingly wiped Su Yingying's tears. Unexpectedly, the more he wiped, the more tears she cried. Finally, Su Yingying threw herself into his arms and burst into tears, as if she had an endless amount of grievances and worries that needed to be vented at this moment. The others tactfully left, leaving the two of them alone to pour out their hearts.

After a long while, Su Yingying finally stopped crying after she had cried enough. She seemed to have vented enough. Although her eyes were a little red and swollen, her smile was as beautiful as a flower, and she seemed to have a little more grace than before.

"Brother Liu, thank you." Su Yingying said to Liu Xing with a smile.

"Yingying, you look so beautiful when you smile." Liu Xing saw that Su Yingying had finally returned to normal. He knew that the inner demon Duan Tiangen had been truly driven out of her heart, and that she had fewer obstacles on her path of cultivation. So the two of them returned to their respective caves to continue their cultivation.

The next day, two people knelt outside Liu Xing's cave. They were Sun Zecheng and Gou Yu, who had come to apologize. They knew they had offended Liu Xing badly this time and had originally planned to secretly escape from the Qianji Sect and flee far away. However, thinking of their own family, they felt that even if the monk could escape, the temple could not; this was a burden to their family. After years of contact, they also knew that Liu Xing was not a petty person, so they took a gamble and came to Liu Xing to beg for forgiveness. From another perspective, Liu Xing's elimination of Duan Tiangen also saved them from his clutches, and from then on the family would no longer be coerced by Duan Tiangen. Liu Xing did not have a deep hatred for the two, but knowing that they did not want to escape privately for the sake of the family and had some conscience, he did not make things difficult for them, which made them grateful.
