BOOOOOOOM!
The
Misty Cloud Battlefield
trembled as
Xiao Li and Liu Tian’s attacks clashed
, sending violent
shockwaves
rippling through the air.
The
forest around them shattered
, ancient trees
splintering apart
, their roots
ripping from the ground
due to the sheer force of their battle.
"This is madness…!"
"Their power is beyond anything we’ve ever seen!"
The remaining competitors
watched from a distance, too afraid to interfere.
Because they knew.
This was not just a
duel between geniuses.
This was a
battle between monsters.
WHOOSH!
Liu Tian’s
sword flickered
, his movements so fast that his blade seemed to
disappear and reappear
in multiple places at once.
"Falling Sky Sword—Third Form!"
A blinding
arc of sword Qi
sliced toward Xiao Li, aiming to split him in half.
But—
"Hmph."
Xiao Li didn’t even
bother dodging.
Instead, he
raised his palm
, golden energy swirling around it.
"Heaven-Sealing Palm—Third Form!"
He
slammed his palm forward
, colliding directly with Liu Tian’s sword Qi.
BOOOOOOOM!
The impact sent
a tidal wave of energy
surging in all directions.
Liu Tian
gritted his teeth
, feeling the weight of
Xiao Li’s overwhelming strength
pressing against his blade.
"Tch…! He’s blocking my attacks without even using a weapon?!"
"What kind of monster is he?!"
Liu Tian
twisted his body
, his sword humming with deadly Qi.
"Falling Sky Sword—Fourth Form!"
His blade
moved like lightning
, slicing toward Xiao Li’s chest.
This time, Xiao Li didn’t block.
He
vanished.
WHOOSH!
Liu Tian’s
eyes widened.
"Where—?!"
Suddenly, he felt a
chill behind him.
Xiao Li was already there.
"Too slow."
BOOOOOOOM!
A
devastating palm strike
crashed into Liu Tian’s back, sending him
hurtling through multiple trees
before he smashed into the ground.
Dust
exploded into the air
as the ground
caved in
from the sheer force of the attack.
Liu Tian coughed
blood
, his
entire body trembling.
"What… kind of strength… is this…?"
He forced himself to stand.
But when he looked up—
Xiao Li was already
standing in front of him.
Calm. Unscathed.
Unstoppable.
"You’re strong, Liu Tian."
Xiao Li’s golden
Qi flared
, illuminating the battlefield like a burning sun.
"But I’m stronger."
As the battle raged,
deep in the shadows
, figures
watched carefully.
The
silver-eyed youth
from the hidden faction smirked.
"It’s time."
At his signal,
multiple assassins in black robes
moved toward the battlefield.
Their goal?
Eliminate Xiao Li while he was focused on Liu Tian.
The tournament was no longer
just a competition.
It had become a
battle for survival.
