"You want me dead? You're not capable of that!"
Li Cangling sneered, drew his sword and charged out, instantly arriving with a single strike that cleaved through the void. The extremely sharp blade, carrying the intent of annihilation, slashed towards Chi Yuan with unparalleled ferocity.
Chi Yuan used the "Xing Zi" secret technique, disappearing from his original spot like a ghost, thus avoiding the sword strike.
A hundred feet away, Chi Yuan appeared, a strange look on his face.
After entering the Spirit Sect Realm, his understanding of spatial power reached a new level. Even without using the Movement Secret Technique, he could reach the maximum speed at which he could use the Movement Secret Technique when he was at the peak of the Spirit King Realm.
Now, with his Lingzong cultivation level, he can use the Xingzi Secret Technique at an unimaginable speed. He has already touched the threshold of spatial travel and can cross dozens of miles in an instant.
"To have such speed, you are indeed quite capable."
Li Cangling turned to the side and unleashed another burst of attack, covering a distance of over a hundred feet in a single stride. The Annihilation Sword emitted a chilling white sword light, aiming straight for Chi Yuan's vitals.
Chi Yuan neither dodged nor avoided, but raised his palm to meet it. The character "兵" (soldier) on his palm flashed with golden light, dazzling the eyes.
"idiot!"
Li Cangling was surprised that Chi Yuan dared to catch his sword empty-handed. He showed a mocking expression, and could already see the scene of Chi Yuan's hand and head being cut off by his sword.
However, the expected scene did not appear.
Just as the Sword of Annihilation was about to strike Chi Yuan's palm, which was bursting with golden light, it strangely stopped.
What happened?
Li Cangling was startled, suddenly feeling a strong tearing force emanating from the Annihilation Sword, vying with him for control of it.
"You bastard, let me go!"
Li Cangling reacted extremely quickly. Almost the instant he realized that the Annihilation Sword was about to be taken away, he raised his hand and struck out with a palm. Then, taking advantage of Chi Yuan's dodge, he quickly withdrew and retreated, avoiding the situation where Chi Yuan would strip him of his natal spirit weapon.
He felt a chill run down his spine. What kind of move was this? It almost snatched his Annihilation Sword. If he hadn't reacted quickly enough, his natal weapon would probably have been taken by someone else.
Chi Yuan was also somewhat surprised. He was able to seize Xiao Yu's Sky-Splitting Spear when he was at the peak of the Spirit Emperor realm, but he failed when he advanced to the Spirit Sect realm. Sure enough, the reaction speed of sword cultivators is much sharper than that of ordinary spiritual cultivators. It seems that the Secret of the Soldier needs to be used when the opponent cannot react in time to avoid being interrupted.
Li Cangling also realized this and dared not be careless. He summoned a bamboo-green flying sword that was more than two feet long and was pulsating with blue and purple light. This flying sword was a mid-grade sixth-rank spiritual weapon. With the blessing of the Purple Lightning and Blue Light Spell, even ordinary high-level spiritual masters would find it difficult to withstand its sharpness.
call out!
Li Cangling flicked his fingers, and the purple lightning and blue light on the Green Bamboo Sword suddenly became violent. A beam of light, alternating between blue and purple, pierced through the void, and the flying sword shot towards Chi Yuan with extreme sharpness.
At the same time, Li Cangling charged out with his sword, his surging sword energy of annihilation like a tidal wave, pouring down on Chi Yuan and shattering the space around him.
Annihilation Sword Style - Annihilation of Heavenly Light!
boom!
Facing two powerful attacks simultaneously, Chi Yuan remained calm and composed. He unleashed the Xingzi Secret Technique, instantly traversing space to arrive behind Li Cangling. Then, he fully activated the Qiulong Force, moving so fast that Li Cangling had no time to react, and punched Li Cangling in the back.
Li Cangling's eyes suddenly bulged out, and with a "poof," he spat out a mouthful of blood. His body was propelled forward by the enormous impact.
Chi Yuan knew that this punch was not enough to kill Li Cangling, who was protected by high-level spirit armor. Taking advantage of Li Cangling's loss of control, he used the "Soldier" secret technique again. This time, he not only successfully stripped Li Cangling of his natal spirit weapon, the Annihilation Sword, but also took the Green Bamboo Sword with him.
Give it all to me.
Having obtained two precious treasures, Chi Yuan secretly admired the brilliance of the "Soldier's Secret Technique." With this secret technique, how could he not have any magical artifacts to use?
Li Cangling was coughing up blood and on the verge of death. Half of the power of his Annihilation Sword Technique came from the Annihilation Sword. Now that the Annihilation Sword had been taken away, his strongest sword technique could hardly pose a threat to Chi Yuan anymore.
"You dare to steal my natal weapon! Today I will fight you to the death!"
Li Cangling's eyes were bloodshot, clearly enraged. "Don't think that just because you took my sword, I'm at a disadvantage. Even without the sword, I can still kill you!"
With a thought, he took out a pill and a blood-red talisman from his storage bag. Both were of high grade six and had the effect of temporarily boosting his combat power.
After swallowing the pill and activating the blood-red talisman, Li Cangling's blood and qi surged instantly, his body burning as if on fire, surrounded by a dense, tangible blood aura. At this moment, Li Cangling's cultivation level rapidly increased, instantly reaching the seventh level of the Spirit Sect.
Not satisfied, Li Cangling activated a powerful secret technique to temporarily boost his cultivation, raising it to the peak of the eighth level of the Spirit Sect.
"Is Li Cangling going to fight to the death?"
Xiao Yu, standing outside the Seven Absolutes Tower, narrowed his eyes upon seeing this scene. He could also temporarily boost his cultivation, but he hadn't done so during his previous battle with Chi Yuan. He knew that if he fought desperately, it would be a fight to the death, and he couldn't bring himself to do it.
Li Cangling's reckless attempt to boost his cultivation level at this moment clearly indicates his determination to fight Chi Yuan to the death; he has made a firm decision to kill him.
"It seems you really want to kill me."
Seeing that Li Cangling was willing to sacrifice himself to forcibly improve his cultivation, Chi Yuan's eyes flashed with a cold light. At this moment, he also activated a secret technique to enhance his combat power, the Fighting Secret!
This is a special SSS-level secret technique obtained after combining Yin and Yang with You Rong Qingxian. It can multiply combat power, and the deeper the mastery, the greater the increase in combat power.
This was the first time Chi Yuan had used this technique, and his combat power increased by more than five times. Even a half-step Spirit Venerable would be able to put up a fight against him.
Bang bang bang bang bang!
A vast and surging aura of attack swept in all directions. Chi Yuan took a step forward, and with the enhancement of the Dou Zi Secret Technique, his fists clashed fiercely with Li Cangling, causing dark spatial rifts to continuously appear in the void.
"Damn it, this kid is only at the first level of the Spirit Sect realm, how can his combat strength be so strong?!"
Li Cangling was utterly horrified. He had risked damaging his foundation and burning his life essence to forcibly raise his combat power to a level close to that of a half-step Spirit Venerable, yet he was being suppressed by Chi Yuan. How could this guy be so strong?
"You forced me to do this!"
Knowing that he would surely lose if the fight continued, Li Cangling's eyes flashed with madness. In the instant he was blasted back by Chi Yuan, he summoned a seventh-grade spirit talisman containing destructive energy—the Annihilation God Talisman.
With Li Cangling's cultivation level, he was not yet able to activate the seventh-grade Annihilation Divine Talisman. Only by pouring his life essence into it could he unleash its power.
Li Cangling was now completely enraged and determined to kill Chi Yuan. If Chi Yuan didn't die, all his efforts in this battle would have been in vain.
"Die! Die! Die!"
Li Cangling was nearly driven mad. He poured thirty percent of his life essence into the Annihilation Talisman in one breath. The Annihilation Talisman then activated a gray ball of light. With a sinister laugh from Li Cangling, the gray ball of light formed by the Annihilation Talisman shot towards Chi Yuan at lightning speed.
"Oh no, Yuan'er, quit the trial immediately!"
Sensing the supreme power of the Annihilation Divine Talisman, You Rong Qingxian's face paled, and she cried out in alarm.
However, just as she spoke up to warn him, the Annihilation Talisman appeared in front of Chi Yuan. In an instant, the gray sphere of light it transformed into expanded to several feet in size, and then exploded with a deafening roar.
