Li Yunjing wanted the reputation of being fierce and domineering; otherwise, he would have to retreat from cultivation every few days to deal with his people being oppressed by other forces.
Against Han Yanzhi, he aimed for a once-and-for-all approach, directly crippling him and using Han Yanzhiâs head to warn everyone not to bully his men.
"Hmph! Li Yunjing, youâre so arrogant! Come up here, and letâs see what skills you have, daring to speak so boldly at this moment!"
Seeing Li Yunjingâs arrogance, Han Yanzhiâs face changed. He retorted and then fearlessly stepped onto the "Enmity Platform."
As soon as Han Yanzhi and Li Yunjing appeared, more cultivators gathered below the "Enmity Platform" to watch the excitement.
"How is Li Yunjing cultivating so quickly?"
"I heard that four years ago, he was still an inner sect disciple. Now his cultivation has reached the Foundation Establishment Realm Third Heaven in such a short time, which is really shocking."
"Itâs really uncanny! I joined the sect and cultivated for eighteen years before I advanced to the Foundation Establishment Realm, and thatâs considered very fast. I never expected someone like Li Yunjing!"
"Advancing to the Foundation Establishment Realm in eighteen years is impressive! But Li Yunjing is even more incredible. I heard he perfected the Qi Refining Realm in less than two years."
"Damn! You mean Li Yunjing has only cultivated for six years in total?"
"Thatâs why heâs terrifying! From knowing nothing to reaching the Foundation Establishment Realm Third Heaven in just six years, ordinary people havenât even mastered their cultivation techniques by then!"
"Li Yunjing is formidable! But Han Yanzhi should be able to win, right?"
"Yes! I also favor Han Yanzhi. Heâs an old master at the Foundation Establishment Realm Sixth Heaven! I even bet three thousand middle-grade spirit stones on him!"
"I also hope Han Yanzhi can win!"
"Me too! For this, I also put in a lot of spirit stones!"
Amid the discussions of their fellow disciples, an elder of the "Law Enforcement Hall" slowly descended and landed on the "Enmity Platform."
"Han Yanzhi! Li Yunjing! Have you thought it through? Do you really want to settle your grudge on the âEnmity Platformâ?"
In such matters, it naturally needed someone to arbitrate, which is why the "Enmity Platform" was established by the "Law Enforcement Hall". This elder came to maintain order and ensure fairness and justice as a witness.
"Of course! Our conflict is too great to resolve!"
Standing on the "Enmity Platform," playing with the "Jade Sea Listening Wave Sword" in his hand, Li Yunjing twirled it a few times and said with a smile.
"Indeed! Itâs either him or me!"
Han Yanzhi also said coldly with a grim face.
"Oh? Life and death? Donât you need me to spare your life?"
Li Yunjing raised his eyebrows, teasingly looking at Han Yanzhi, whose face was filled with bitterness and hatred.
"Youâre courting death!"
Han Yanzhi was furious and was about to make a move to fight Li Yunjing to the death. However, remembering the elder still on the "Enmity Platform," he restrained his anger and glared coldly at Li Yunjing.
"Heh!"
Li Yunjing glanced at him disdainfully, appearing at ease as if taking a leisurely stroll while admiring the scenery.
"Alright! Since you two have decided, thereâs no room for regret!"
On the "Enmity Platform," the Law Enforcement Hall elder sighed and no longer tried to dissuade them. He jumped off the "Enmity Platform," rapidly moving his fingers and releasing beams of light from his fingertips, landing on the "Enmity Platform."
"Boom!"
With a loud noise, a layer of blue light shield enveloped the "Enmity Platform," forming a sealed battlefield!
In this battlefield, it was a fight to the death. Only when one person remained, the light shield would dissipate, allowing the person inside to come out.
"Kill!"
As the light shield formed, Li Yunjing and Han Yanzhi almost simultaneously started the fierce battle!
Below the "Enmity Platform," many cultivators began paying close attention to the battle above.
These people watched intently as Li Yunjing and Han Yanzhi fought. At this moment, Li Yunjingâs "Jade Sea Listening Wave Sword" slashed towards Han Yanzhi.
In an instant, various lights and protective gang qi were torn apart, attempting to slice Han Yanzhiâs body in half, causing many to exclaim.
No one had expected that after only a few probing moves, victory and defeat would soon be decided.
But under the shocked gazes of the crowd, Han Yanzhiâs slashed body suddenly exploded into a cloud of primordial energy, seeming both real and illusionary, dissipating entirely, without a trace of Han Yanzhi remaining.
It turned out that from the beginning, with the "Jade Sea Listening Wave Sword" like an enraged green dragon, Li Yunjing launched a frenzied assault on Han Yanzhi!
The violent power made Han Yanzhiâs face change!
This power shouldnât belong to someone at the Foundation Establishment Realm Third Heaven!
Li Yunjingâs strength and mana were not weaker than his!
This made Han Yanzhi realize that Li Yunjing wasnât just an arrogant brat but truly skillful!
From the start, Han Yanzhi was at a disadvantage. Li Yunjingâs swordsmanship grew faster and more impenetrable, leaving Han Yanzhi no time to catch his breath.
Because of this, Han Yanzhi employed his best illusion technique, using supernatural abilities to create an illusionary body of primordial energy amidst the fierce battle.
This sword didnât cut Han Yanzhi but struck the cloud of primordial energy instead.
"Hahaha! Li Yunjing, youâre doomed!"
After the cloud of primordial energy shattered, Han Yanzhi suddenly appeared from his hidden state, immediately launching a counterattack upon revealing himself!
With a shake of his body, Han Yanzhi revealed nine figures, all charging at Li Yunjing!
"Wind-Catching and Shadow-Stealing Skill!"
Li Yunjing was startled and immediately recognized the cultivation system. He had also practiced this "Wind-Catching and Shadow-Stealing Skill" and perfected it, able to create nine illusion bodies.
This skill incorporated wind element divine techniques, and Li Yunjing had long understood its principles.
Han Yanzhiâs level of cultivation was almost identical to his own.
Clearly, this person had profound attainments in wind-element magic.
In the Immortal Cultivation Realm, no divine technique was invincible; they all had counterparts that could restrain them.
This was why cultivators with mastery over multiple divine techniques were more formidable, as they could always find a way to counter their enemies.
The "Wind-Catching and Shadow-Stealing Skill" in Han Yanzhiâs hands was executed splendidly with various tricks!
Seeing Han Yanzhi use illusion techniques against him, Li Yunjing sneered repeatedly. He quickly retreated, and in almost an instant, nine Li Yunjing appeared on the "Enmity Platform."
Moreover, each of the nine bodies had different expressions and postures, moving in different directions.
"What!"
Witnessing this, Han Yanzhi was shocked, never expecting Li Yunjing to also be proficient in the "Wind-Catching and Shadow-Stealing Skill" and to have perfected it.
This technique was executed with perfection, almost indistinguishable from Han Yanzhiâs own cultivation.
"Nine illusion bodies, you still canât escape my attack!"
After a brief shock, Han Yanzhi quickly calmed down. Proficient in illusion techniques, he naturally had countermeasures. Instantly, his body emitted thousands of cold lights like a porcupine, shooting in all directions.
"Sss..."
The sharp cold lights were all ice element divine techniques, combined with Geng Metal Qi, meticulously refined!
Thousands of icy flying needles pierced through Li Yunjingâs eight illusion bodies and then headed for Li Yunjingâs real body!
"Clang clang..."
Li Yunjingâs "Jade Sea Listening Wave Sword" slashed repeatedly, forming a layer of green light in front of him, covering him seamlessly.
The cold ice flying needles collided with the green light shield, all being blocked.
"Kill!"
Li Yunjing blocked the opponentâs offensive. As Han Yanzhi exposed his true form due to performing divine techniques, Li Yunjing raised his palm. With a "boom," a "Palm Thunder" was unleashed.
