"Today, I will surely kill you!"
In an instant, a layer of blue light floated on Zhao Youcai's longsword.
With the innate true energy combined with sword intent, this sword beam transformed into a giant shadow of a green mountain, normally powerful enough to instantly kill any Qi Condensation Realm cultivator.
He stepped out with his left foot, bent his right leg to gather strength, and then suddenly leaped up, aiming straight for Li Ming's head.
The force was as heavy as Mount Tai pressing down.
Showing no mercy whatsoever.
This competition is nominally only about the rankings on the leaderboard.
In reality, both of them knew that only one of them could survive.
The weak perish, the strong live.
The onlookers remained silent and watched intently as the two heroes clashed.
Amidst the crowd, Qin Yun's eyes showed some worry. He beckoned to the attendant beside him, gave him some instructions, and then left.
Challenger Zhao Youcai has clearly demonstrated his cultivation as a Golden Core Grandmaster, while Li Ming has only been at the Condensation Realm for a month at most, so there is a huge difference in their cultivation levels.
Can he win?
Qin Yun couldn't help but ask himself a question.
It should be possible.
After all, his previous performance suggested that everything was under control and that nothing could stump him.
The sword's aura was so powerful that just looking at it was enough to take one's breath away.
Zhao Youcai rose into the air, his sword pointing at Li Ming's head.
Li Ming was certainly prepared; though he appeared to be motionless, he was actually seizing the opportunity.
"With this strike, hear the dragon's roar!"
Concentrate and remain calm, without the slightest panic.
There is actually no difference between the art of drawing a sword and the art of drawing a knife.
"bite!"
A sword rang out, like a divine dragon emerging from the sea.
Just as the sword's edge was about to touch him, the blade moved, and a bright flash of light appeared.
Under the refraction of sunlight, it cut out a chilling glint.
In a flash, the blade and sword clashed, and the Moon-Inviting Blade deflected Zhao Youcai's longsword.
A "sizzling" sound was heard.
Sparks flew everywhere.
The two were evenly matched in this exchange.
Without the slightest hesitation, Li Ming took a step forward, gathering his qi and blood into a single fist.
With each step, the ground seemed to tremble.
A straight punch was aimed directly at Zhao Youcai's head.
A phantom image of a bull demon appeared from the sky.
The essence of boxing manifests in form, revealing the power of a grandmaster!
"Bang!"
A faint groan echoed in the void. Zhao Youcai had no time to block with his sword and could only throw a punch that collided with Li Ming's fist. Time seemed to stand still for a moment.
The air around the two people was swept away by a giant wave created by the collision.
Zhao Youcai immediately felt a terrifying force. Even though he had cultivated a sword body and undergone a transformation after condensing the golden core, and his physical body was quite strong, he still found it difficult to withstand.
Fortunately, he reacted quickly, instantly unleashing his true energy to create distance.
Even so, he still felt his entire palm begin to go numb.
Seeing Zhao Youcai's decline, Li Ming pressed forward and slashed down with his sword.
The blade's edge seemed poised to shatter the heavens, aiming straight for its lifeline.
Zhao Youcai's eyes turned cold, and his innate true energy surrounded him, with streaks of sword light shooting out from his fingertips.
"Bang!"
The sound of exploding air resounded throughout the heavens and earth.
The smoke and dust danced like dragons, obscuring their vision.
Li Ming fought his way out of the sandstorm.
The knife rises and falls.
"bite!"
Zhao Youcai gritted his teeth and used his internal energy to control his sword, forcibly blocking the attack.
However, the powerful recoil caused him to stagger back several steps.
The blood and energy in the body were shaken and turbulent.
"Such powerful physical strength!"
Zhao Youcai's gaze was solemn.
The fact that the Grandmaster's innate true energy was on par with his opponent's was already somewhat difficult for him to accept.
Unexpectedly, the opponent's physical body was even more incredible, as if he were wrestling with a savage beast, and his fist contained indescribable power.
Although the Qingyun Sword Sect is famous for its sword cultivators, how could martial arts cultivation not involve the physical body, and this sword body was forged.
I believe my physical cultivation is quite good.
I never imagined that I was even inferior to Li Ming, who was at the Condensation Realm.
Could it be... that I'm cultivating a fake sword body?
After realizing the strength of his opponent, Zhao Youcai's anger gradually subsided, replaced by vigilance and determination.
Li Ming remained expressionless; this was not the first time he had fought against a Golden Core Grandmaster.
Last time, they took more shortcuts.
This time, however, it was a true evenly matched contest.
After a few breaths of silence, the two erupted simultaneously.
Dust filled the air as figures crossed paths one after another.
Li Ming unleashed his Nine-Turn Azure Dragon Blade repeatedly, achieving perfect harmony between man and blade, each strike aimed at the vital points.
quick!
allow!
ruthless!
On Zhao Youcai's side, sword light flashed, and his swordsmanship was also extraordinary.
"Ding ding ding..."
Every move was a back-and-forth battle.
The skill levels of the two are not significantly different.
However, as the swords flashed and the swords clashed, it became clear that Li Ming's speed and strength were overwhelming.
Li Ming shouted, "Didn't you eat enough?"
"Can't you show some skill?"
Zhao Youcai struggled to hold on, but then he heard Li Ming still trying to sow discord between him.
He felt like spitting out blood on the spot.
Meanwhile, the onlookers were treated to a feast for the eyes.
"Zhao Youcai has been famous for a long time, and now he has even broken through to the Grandmaster level. How could Li Ming have forced him to this point?"
"Zhao Youcai is strong, but Li Ming is even stronger! It can only be said that the Heavenly Mystery Pavilion has good judgment. The origin of Li Ming's true energy is unknown, and he is virtually invincible among those of the same level, even capable of fighting against opponents of higher levels..."
Not to mention, his physical body is simply unparalleled.
"He must have cultivated a top-tier body-refining technique."
Lu Tian offered his comments, which were quite insightful and well-reasoned.
"Truly worthy of being the pride of our Six Doors."
Meanwhile, Lin Xun, with a gloomy expression, was filled with mixed emotions.
He even considered shooting Li Ming with a bow and arrow, but considering the consequences, he suppressed the thought.
The feud between Li Ming and the Lin family was amplified by this obstruction.
The stronger Li Ming becomes, the worse it is for the Lin family.
But taking action now is also not an option. The Six Doors is a behemoth; if they were to openly kill one of its geniuses...
"boom!"
With a deafening roar, the battle between the two was finally about to come to a conclusion.
Li Ming blocked the fatal sword strike with his sword, and then threw a punch in return.
This time, Zhao Youcai finally ran out of strength to block it and was sent flying several feet away, crashing heavily to the ground.
It's likely that several of his ribs were broken.
However, Zhao Youcai immediately suppressed his injuries with his true energy, panting heavily, his gaze fixed on Li Ming.
Even though his previous attacks hit Li Ming, they only left a few small cuts and bloodstains, which would probably heal completely in a little while.
"So this is all a Grandmaster at the Golden Core Realm is like?"
"That's all there is to it!"
Li Ming snorted coldly, and the advantages of the top-level body-refining technique, the Bull Demon Overlord Body Technique, were on full display.
His entire body was intact and without any flaws, he exchanged injuries for injuries.
It was only a matter of time before Zhao Youcai died.
"Since that's the case... then I can't let you underestimate a Grandmaster!!!"
Zhao Youcai was covered in blood and wiped the blood from his mouth.
"Ahhh!"
"Ignite the Elixir Technique!"
Use a burst technique directly.
As the name suggests, this secret technique involves burning one's golden core to gain boundless explosive power.
However, the user will experience severe pain and suffer irreparable damage to their golden core.
It will not be used unless absolutely necessary.
With a swift movement of his feet, his figure left a trail of afterimages as he thrust straight out.
"Ding ding ding..."
A dazzling display of sword light flashed, and before long...
Blood splattered all over Li Ming's body.
At this moment, Zhao Youcai's sword speed was already making it difficult for him to keep up.
However, after experiencing real pain, Li Ming didn't get angry but laughed instead.
"That's it!"
Suddenly, he blocked another sword strike.
Li Ming suddenly swung out the Moon-Inviting Blade, then turned his body and threw another punch.
It's about exchanging injury for injury.
Just come on over.
Faced with Li Ming's relentless offensive, Zhao Youcai gritted his teeth and fought back.
Swords clashed.
They bounced apart in mid-air and fell to the ground separately.
Li Ming dusted himself off, his eyes unwavering, and took one step after another, causing the earth to crack.
The phantom of the Bull Demon behind him became even more solid.
Despite being covered in blood.
But his body stood upright like a spear, as if the injury had no effect on him at all.
