The crimson spear thrust out instantly, shattering countless claws with a sharp tearing sound. At the same moment, Lin Xi leaped forward, spear in hand, facing the black-robed man directly.
"Hmph, you dare to show off such petty tricks in front of me?" Seeing Lin Xi actually use a spear to fight back, the black-robed man's face showed a mocking expression. He swung his arm and punched the crimson spear.
Bang!
The deafening roar sent Lin Xi staggering back four or five steps before regaining his footing, a hint of seriousness flashing in his eyes. He had never expected his opponent's physical strength to be so formidable.
It should be noted that while Lin Xi's body could not perfectly fuse with the divine artifact like Lin Yunfeng and Qin Feng, he was quite confident in his ability to temper his physical body. His opponent, however, was merely a cultivator who had just advanced to the fourth-grade Grandmaster realm, yet he had been forced into such a sorry state—this was truly beyond his expectations.
"You little bastard, now you know how powerful I am, right? I advise you to surrender obediently, otherwise you might end up with scars if I make a move!" the black-robed man sneered.
"Enough with the nonsense, come at me if you dare!" Lin Xi's eyes burned with anger.
"Hmph, if you won't listen to kind words but only harsh words, then don't blame me for being impolite!" The man in black robes sneered, his body flashing as he rushed straight at Lin Xi.
"Come on!" Lin Xi roared back, brandishing his spear as he charged forward. The two terrifying true essence energies collided instantly.
With a muffled groan, Lin Xi was violently thrown away and crashed heavily outside the valley.
"Boy, you're too weak. You're no match for me. Just surrender!" the black-robed man said with a sneer. Blood trickled from Lin Xi's mouth, but his face was full of resentment.
Although his strength was only at the sixth-tier Martial King level, his physical body was exceptionally strong. He believed he could even fight against a ninth-tier Martial King. However, the black-robed man before him was far stronger than him.
Normally, even if the black-robed man's cultivation level were lower, Lin Xi could still defeat him. However, the man's defense was simply too strong. Furthermore, Lin Xi discovered that the black-robed man showed no trace of martial arts, relying purely on brute force.
If he possessed martial arts skills, they should be low-grade Xuan-level techniques. However, judging from his movement techniques, they were actually mid-grade Xuan-level techniques! Lin Xi was puzzled; why did this guy harbor so many secrets?
"Hmph! Since you're courting death, then I'll grant your wish!" Before the black-robed man finished speaking, he flicked his finger.
A sharp beam of light, carrying boundless destructive energy, hurtled straight toward Lin Xi.
The terrifying aura made it seem as if a gale was sweeping through the valley.
"Get out of my way!"
Faced with this unparalleled finger light, Lin Xi let out a cold shout and swung his spear. Instantly, a flaming spear roared out and slashed fiercely at the finger light.
The flaming spear struck the sharp finger light, which immediately shattered, while the flaming spear continued its howling, heading straight for the man in black robes.
The black-robed man's pupils contracted slightly.
Because that flaming spear contained a terrifying burning power.
This burning power is extremely domineering.
Once touched by this scorching temperature, his body will surely be burned to ashes instantly!
"Hey kid, stop right there!"
The man in black robes roared angrily.
He struck out with both palms.
Instantly, two enormous palm prints shot out, slamming fiercely into the flaming spear.
A muffled explosion rang out as two terrifying forces collided.
The flaming spear instantly turned into specks of starlight and vanished.
But those two palm prints also exploded instantly.
"Kid, you're dead this time!"
Seeing the palm print destroyed, the man in black robes sneered.
However, before his smile could fully unfold, his expression suddenly changed.
He felt as if his body was bound by some kind of restraint, making it impossible for him to move.
At the same time, a blazing sword aura suddenly appeared behind him.
He slashed down with his sword.
The black-robed man's clothes were immediately torn.
"Damn it, you actually used illusion magic!"
Looking at the damage to his clothes, the man in the black robe was filled with terror.
However, just as he was about to flee, a dazzling blade of light suddenly tore through the void and appeared in front of him.
A sharp tearing sound rang out as the sharp blade ripped a large gash in the black-robed man's chest.
The wound was purplish-black and looked extremely gruesome.
"You deserve to die!"
A hint of resentment flashed across the black-robed man's face.
Then, he raised his right hand, and a purple-gold pill appeared in his palm.
He crushed the pill in his hand.
Instantly, a vast and powerful pure spiritual energy surged out from his body, transforming into a pillar of spiritual energy hundreds of feet high, enveloping his entire body.
The next moment, a terrifying aura surged wildly from his body.
A colossal body, a thousand meters tall, suddenly appeared in Lin Xi's sight.
"Peak of the eighth rank, half-step Martial Emperor!"
Lin Xi's eyelids twitched a few times.
This man in black robes had clearly consumed a purple-gold elixir to reach such a terrifying level.
Moreover, his cultivation level is at least ten times stronger than before.
This kind of progress is nothing short of a miracle for ordinary practitioners.
Unfortunately, for Lin Xi, such an improvement was insignificant.
After all, he had once consumed a Purple Gold Pill, and at that time his cultivation was even stronger than that of the man in black robes!
"Hahaha, kid, why don't you kneel down and admit defeat?"
The man in black robes laughed wildly, "Otherwise, I'll let you taste what it's like to wish you were dead!"
"Hmph, you think you can make me admit defeat? Dream on!"
Upon hearing the black-robed man's voice, a murderous glint flashed in Lin Xi's eyes.
"Since that's the case, then I'll send you to hell!"
As soon as he finished speaking, the man in black robes stepped through the air and instantly appeared beside Lin Xi, throwing a punch.
"You little bastard, prepare to face my endless wrath!"
Bang!
With a muffled explosion, a punch slammed into Lin Xi.
Click!
The sound of bones breaking immediately rang out.
Lin Xi felt a sweet taste in his throat and spat out a mouthful of blood.
"Why...why does it hurt so much?"
Looking at the injuries on his body, Lin Xi's expression changed drastically, filled with shock.
Even a cow would find it difficult to endure such an injury.
However, his injuries healed instantly.
"Boy, do you think we Martial Grandmasters are easy to mess with? Let me tell you, you're going to die today!"
The man in the black robe revealed a ferocious smile.
