"Overlord Fist Unrivaled!"
With Li Xuan's low shout, the world suddenly darkened. In the next instant, wind and clouds surged, as if a storm was brewing, obscuring the sky and the sun.
"Heaven and Earth Momentum!" Mu Ye Bai's brow furrowed. In an instant, he saw through Li Xuan's punch, which had actually merged with the momentum of heaven and earth. Furthermore, this fusion was not a simple invocation of heaven and earth's momentum. This punch was like an overture, directly transforming the entire world into Li Xuan's punch.
Boom!
In a flash of lightning, Li Xuan's fist fell. Under the gaze of countless eyes, the massive fist descended directly towards Mu Ye Bai's head.
"Ten Thousand Buddhas Paying Homage!" Mu Ye Bai no longer held back. With a fierce stomp, his body directly flew up to meet the massive fist head-on.
Bang!
The terrifying sound of impact was deafening. The elder presiding nearby waved his hand, and a barrier instantly enveloped the challenge platform.
Crack!
Even so, the immense power instantly cracked the challenge platform. In the next moment, a figure was sent flying backward.
Everyone's eyes widened as they watched. The person who was blasted away was none other than Mu Ye Bai!
"I concede." Li Xuan's figure slowly emerged from the dust. He then looked at Mu Ye Bai, who had fallen into a dirt pit, and clasped his hands together.
"Challenger, victorious," the elder announced the result, appearing before Li Xuan.
"So, this is the ultimate divine ability of your body refinement," Mu Ye Bai said, wiping the blood from his lips as he looked at Li Xuan.
Li Xuan nodded slightly. The three great divine abilities of the Body Sect were the Star Body, the Free-spirited Steps, and the Overlord Fist Unrivaled that Li Xuan had just displayed. These three were indeed Li Xuan's strongest body refinement trump cards for now.
"Good luck on your journey ahead," Mu Ye Bai said after a moment of silence. He then waved his hand, and a spatial ring flew towards Li Xuan. Li Xuan took the spatial ring and followed Mu Ye Bai's gaze towards the ten giant pillars.
"Do you wish to continue challenging?" the elder asked Li Xuan.
Li Xuan shook his head slightly and replied, "I need half an hour to recover."
After speaking, Li Xuan sat down cross-legged, closed his eyes, and began to regulate his breathing and recover.
The elder did not leave, clearly understanding that Li Xuan intended to continue challenging. Mu Ye Bai also left the challenge platform area and sat down to the side, appearing to intend to watch how Li Xuan would fight the ninth-ranked opponent.
Soon, half an hour passed. Li Xuan's eyes slowly opened.
"Continue challenging," Li Xuan stood up and said to the elder with a calm expression.
The elder nodded slightly and then shifted his gaze to the ninth giant pillar. In an instant, a figure slowly appeared.
As the figure appeared, Li Xuan was taken aback. This ninth genius was actually a woman!
"Had enough looking?" Su Yi Jing frowned and asked Li Xuan, who was still staring at her.
"Apologies, I was just a little surprised," Li Xuan said, snapping back to attention. He then offered a wry smile to the elder and said, "Senior, I don't want to fight a woman."
The elder was stunned. This was the first time such a situation had occurred. Instinctively, the elder's gaze turned to Yang Diao and Yang Zi in the air.
"What, you look down on women?" Su Yi Jing immediately retorted, her aura instantly surging.
Li Xuan looked somewhat helpless. After a moment of thought, he said, "It's not that I look down on female cultivators, but I feel it's a bit like bullying. Forget it, since I've already challenged, I'll just hold back."
"Hold back... I hope you have the strength for that," Su Yi Jing's expression softened slightly. However, her face stiffened again upon hearing the latter part of his sentence. In the next moment, Su Yi Jing moved and instantly appeared in mid-air.
"Su Yi Jing is actually going to perform the Heavenly Demon Dance right from the start." Mu Ye Bai, watching from below, quickly closed his eyes.
Li Xuan remained completely unfazed. As Su Yi Jing ascended, she began to dance in mid-air.
Her swaying waist, and the auspicious light that adorned her every movement. As Su Yi Jing danced, the world seemed to stand still. The onlookers were all mesmerized. Many weaker spiritual masters even showed signs of charging towards the challenge platform.
Soon, ten minutes passed. Su Yi Jing slowly landed and made a finishing pose. In the next moment, her gaze directly fell on Li Xuan.
However, Su Yi Jing quickly froze. Li Xuan was currently looking at her with an expression of awe, his eyes completely devoid of any daze.
"You're still awake?" Su Yi Jing asked indignantly.
Li Xuan blinked and replied, "Should I be asleep? But I have to say, your dance is quite beautiful. Miss, do you have to dance before every fight?"
Su Yi Jing almost spat out a mouthful of blood. Her Heavenly Demon Dance had no effect on Li Xuan at all. Su Yi Jing knew very well that since she had started her martial path, the Heavenly Demon Dance had never failed.
Su Yi Jing's means of combat was this Heavenly Demon Dance. Now that the Heavenly Demon Dance was ineffective against Li Xuan, what else could Su Yi Jing do to him? It could be said that from the very beginning, Su Yi Jing had lost this match.
"You win." Su Yi Jing stared at Li Xuan for a long time, confirming that Li Xuan's mind was not disturbed by the Heavenly Demon Dance. She then waved her hand, and a spatial ring flew towards Li Xuan. In the next moment, Su Yi Jing turned and left.
Li Xuan was stunned. What was going on?
"Young master, the dance that woman performed is called the Heavenly Demon Dance. Generally, spiritual masters are bewitched by it and even lose themselves. As a result, they can only be at its mercy. But you have an indomitable will, and as a sword cultivator, your sword heart is as firm as a rock, so her Heavenly Demon Dance has no effect on you," the voice of the Heavenly Dao Brush sounded in Li Xuan's mind.
Only then did Li Xuan understand. So, Su Yi Jing had already made her move. The thought sent a chill down his spine. The divine abilities in this world were truly endless. If not for his divine sword heart, he would have been controlled by her just now.
At this moment, Li Xuan felt the power of a sword cultivator for the first time.
"This fellow can actually ignore Su Yi Jing's Heavenly Demon Dance. It's not unjust to lose to such a person," Mu Ye Bai opened his eyes and looked at the crowd, who were just now regaining their senses. He then looked at Li Xuan and murmured softly.
"Challenger, victorious," the elder announced the result after glancing at the departing Su Yi Jing.
Li Xuan cupped his fists in a salute to the elder and then moved his figure, departing directly.
The elder looked surprised. Li Xuan had not exerted himself but did not continue challenging. However, the elder said nothing more. After nodding slightly to the father and daughter, Yang Diao and Yang Zi, he turned and left.
