The violent collision generated a surge of energy that caused the mountain peak where the two were located to collapse, as if a landslide had occurred.
Xing Wuming, who was not far away, was seriously injured and unable to move. He could only watch helplessly as the huge shockwave hit him, instantly throwing him dozens of meters away. He rolled dozens of times on the ground before vomiting blood and falling unconscious on the spot, his life hanging in the balance.
The battle between Li Ming and Su Yuanyuan continued.
The two attacks clashed and held their ground for a moment. The towering sword shadow that Su Yuanyuan had unleashed trembled, then swayed and suddenly dissipated into a phantom. Meanwhile, the residual force of Li Ming's fist still sent Su Yuanyuan flying back several meters, leaving a clear mark on the ground.
"That punch... was even more powerful than mine?"
Su Yuanyuan found it hard to believe. As a Refining God Grandmaster, he was a top expert in the Qingyun Sword Sect. Just who was this person?
Only then did he begin to feel uneasy, and alarm bells began to ring in his mind.
"Old man, is this all the strength you have?!"
"Go to the Yellow Springs with your good disciple!"
Seeing that his punch had worked, Li Ming did not hesitate at all. He pressed his advantage and took a step forward, arriving in front of Su Yuanyuan.
The Moon-Inviting Blade in his hand drew a dazzling arc in the air, and the blade light instantly surged several feet. This vertical slash carried boundless power, capable of splitting even a mountain in two!
"You...you are!"
Su Yuanyuan's words were indistinct, but a guess he couldn't believe surfaced in his mind.
Could this person be Li Ming?
How could that be...
However, this fist and sword technique was exactly the same as the one Li Ming used when he killed his disciple Zhao Youcai that day.
However, its power was much greater than before.
Even if he was shocked, as a martial arts master, he reacted instantly, knowing that the best defense is offense.
Although he hadn't studied any defensive methods, offense and defense are inherently one. With a thought, Su Yuanyuan unleashed a torrent of sword energy.
Under the influence of the sword intent, it seemed as if heaven and earth were lending a helping hand.
With a whoosh of sword energy, it calmly withstood Li Ming's relentless attacks.
In just ten breaths, the two exchanged blows more than a hundred times, their sword energy flying and their blades flashing across the sky, creating a powerful and earth-shaking spectacle.
"Boom boom boom!"
Each collision shook the mountains and rivers, and the surging true energy shattered everything around it.
The people in the village at the foot of the mountain even thought that the mountain god was angry, and they all kowtowed and begged him to calm down.
For ordinary people, or even weak martial artists, this battle at the level of a Refining God Grandmaster is like the wrath of a god.
“This Li Ming… is indeed quite something. Even when facing a Refining God Grandmaster like me head-on, he still holds his own.”
Su Yuanyuan was amazed by how terrifying Li Ming was. The geniuses in the sect were not even worthy of carrying Li Ming's shoes.
His opponent's physical strength was even greater than his own. If the fight continued like this, he might suffer a relapse of his old injuries and die on the spot.
With this in mind, Su Yuanyuan no longer cared about his injuries and attacked with all his might.
"Soaring Heaven Sword Technique, the sword shakes mountains and rivers!"
Before he finished speaking, an extremely powerful surge of true energy and sword intent poured out, like a river bursting its banks, erupting instantly and heading straight for Li Ming.
Su Yuanyuan's specialty is swordsmanship that brings his sword intent to its fullest potential, influencing the mind of his enemies and pushing the power of his sword to its limit.
Before the sword energy even arrived, the sword intent had already locked onto Li Ming's mind.
Even with Li Ming's unwavering resolve, he was momentarily affected, suddenly feeling a blankness before his eyes, unable to see or feel anything.
In an instant, all sensations were stripped away, as if the soul was about to leave the body.
I came to my senses.
Seeing that he was about to be killed by Su Yuanyuan's fatal move, Li Ming did not think and almost instinctively used one of the trump cards he had mastered after breaking through to the Golden Core stage.
Martial Arts Divine Power: Primordial Seven Kills!
Supernatural powers are the art of turning the impossible into the possible, transcending the mundane! This is a power that can only be initially mastered by those at the fourth rank of martial arts, and its full power can only be unleashed in the hands of a Martial Saint.
The golden core within Li Ming's body flickered continuously, drawing upon the power of heaven and earth to form a black and white vortex of true energy in front of him. Yin and Yang energies and the essence of the Five Elements were integrated into it, as if it were evolving chaos!
"boom!"
The shockwave shattered the earth, and even the void seemed to distort.
Su Yuanyuan, who had just delivered the fatal blow, felt as if there was a black hole in front of him, and his whole body was about to be sucked in and devoured.
As soon as he got a little closer, his protective aura vanished instantly. At that moment, Su Yuanyuan's face turned extremely terrified. He quickly used all his strength to barely escape the range of this supernatural power.
He was already shocked multiple times today, but he was still shocked this time.
"This... could it be a martial arts divine power?!"
The well-informed Su Yuanyuan immediately recognized that the move Li Ming used was no longer a secret technique, but a genuine martial arts supernatural power.
"No, if I were to actually use my martial arts supernatural powers, I would die instantly."
Su Yuanyuan was filled with mixed feelings.
Even if the opponent is only using a rudimentary form of their supernatural power, it is still very difficult to resist.
"Could it be that he is a descendant of the Martial Saint and has awakened his bloodline?"
Su Yuanyuan was somewhat surprised.
Wasn't Li Ming from a small family?
Could there be something else going on?
In his understanding, supernatural powers are either mastered when one is a fourth-rank martial artist, or they are possessed by the descendants of powerful individuals, whose descendants have an extremely small chance of reverting to their ancestral form and mastering incomplete versions of martial arts supernatural powers.
This is why those martial arts families are so high and mighty... As long as their descendants are not cut off, even if they decline, they may rise again.
However, the chances are very small. For example, the Qi family that Li Ming encountered before, although they were descendants of the Martial Saint, did not inherit their ancestor's supernatural powers at all...
If someone inherits the martial arts prowess of their ancestor across generations, they are called a reincarnation of a martial saint.
"No wonder...no wonder your strength has improved so much in just a few months! You are the reincarnation of a Martial Saint!"
Su Yuanyuan stared at Li Ming with absolute certainty.
In his view, Li Ming was just an ant in the Condensation Realm a few months ago, but now he has made rapid progress and can directly contend with him, so there must be a secret.
Unexpectedly, the other party was a bloodline reversion, a reincarnation of a martial saint.
"The reincarnation of a martial saint?" Li Ming couldn't help but chuckle.
His predecessor had once fantasized that his Li family might be a fallen martial arts clan, and whether he might awaken his bloodline... But unfortunately, he was overthinking it. The family history clearly recorded that the strongest person on the family tree was only a Refining God Grandmaster.
Li Ming was not a reincarnation of a martial saint; he relied entirely on his unparalleled ten-patterned golden core. However, he didn't know whether other people's golden cores also possessed supernatural powers.
This divinely bestowed power was indeed too profound. Even with his extraordinary comprehension and the painstaking effort he had put into comprehending it over the past few days, he could only barely use it.
It could barely be called a rudimentary form of supernatural power; if it were used in its entirety, Su Yuanyuan would have been reduced to ashes long ago.
