Chapter 570 - Fighting Li Jinxi (1/2)

Clang! Clang! Clang!

Yuan and Li Jinxi continued to swing their large swords at each other for many minutes, but neither of them was using their full strength just yet, as they were gradually increasing their strength to match each other.

”Heavens… How is he defending against Li Jinxi's attacks head-on? Does he also have a unique physique that gives him tyrannical strength?”

The spectators were shocked to witness Yuan fighting Li Jinxi on equal terms, something none of them have seen before.

”Who do you think will win this fight?” Senior Wang asked the other grand elders.

”Hmm… It's hard to tell. While we know Li Jinxi's full strength, we don't really know Daoist Yuan's full potential.” Senior Xi said.

”That is indeed true. For example, I could've never predicted that he had the strength to fight Li Jinxi head-on.”

”I wonder if he also has a divine body. Considering how many talents he already has… It's not that crazy of an idea.”

”Just what is he made out of? He's the definition of a flawless entity created by the heavens just to mess with everyone else.”

Meanwhile, on the stage, Li Jinxi started laughing, ”Finally! I have been waiting for someone like you! Someone that I can fight to my heart's content without worrying that you'd die in a single hit!”

Clang!

Yuan was pushed back a full meter when Li Jinxi started fighting for real.

'What a heavy strike!' Yuan cried inwardly, his entire arm shaking afterward, feeling like he'd just struck an immovable mountain.

'What should I do? I am a little behind in terms of raw strength…' Yuan pondered as he looked at Li Jinxi, who was glaring at him like a tiger before its prey.

”What are you waiting for? Are you too afraid to continue? I can tell that you're weaker than me in terms of strength.” Li Jinxi said to him.

Yuan remained silent.

There was a good chance that his movement technique wouldn't work on her, who has very keen eyes and a fast reaction, not to mention her weird sword technique that allows her to change her sword's direction at will.

'This is… fun!'

A wide smile appeared on his face, as he has never fought against such an opponent before.

It was at this moment that Yuan felt a surge of energy bursting from somewhere within his body, making him feel like he was invincible.

However, this energy gave him more than just strength and confidence— it also gave him an uncontrollable urge to destroy everything in his path.

And unbeknownst to Yuan, his body began emitting a golden aura that chilled the atmosphere there.

”You…” Li Jinxi's eyes widened when she felt this aura that resembled that of a powerful beast.

”Am I seeing things or is he currently glowing?” Someone asked out loud.

”I see it too.”

”What kind of technique is he using?”

”Heavens… My body is shivering uncontrollably for some reason…”

”You too? My body is also shaking…”

No matter who was there, they were all trembling in fear for some reason.

”I have a bad feeling about this…” Senior Wang mumbled in a low voice as she stared at Yuan's still figure.

”...”

Li Jinxi looked at her trembling hands that made it difficult for her to even hold her sword.

'What is this feeling?' she wondered to herself.

Meanwhile, Yuan tightened his grip on the sword, before slowly walking towards Li Jinxi, snapping her out of her daze.

Li Jinxi gritted her teeth to stop the trembling, but when that didn't work, she bit on her lips until it began bleeding, forcibly stopping her trembling with pain.

”Don't get too full of yourself!” Li Jinxi shouted before running at Yuan.
