Bang!
With a loud bang, Li Xuan and Gongsun Li were both forced back hundreds of steps.
In the silent barrier, they looked at each other. From the moment of this contact, they both had a rough idea of each other's strength.
"No wonder you have the confidence to challenge me, you do have some strength. But even so, you cannot defeat me!" Gongsun Li said, his aura instantly becoming sinister. Even the spiritual light, which was bright before, now turned deep and dark.
Clearly, this was Gongsun Li truly revealing his strength.
"Whether I can defeat you is yet to be known!" Li Xuan's expression remained unchanged, but his heart grew solemn.
As everyone knew, Gongsun Li's combat strength was among the weakest of the Saint Sect's Holy Sons. But to become a Holy Son, one naturally had unique means. And after the previous clash, Li Xuan felt that Gongsun Li's combat strength was not weak.
And now that Gongsun Li was getting serious, he would likely spare no effort. He would inevitably begin to unleash his unique skill, poison arts!
"You all think I, Gongsun Li, have no other skills besides poison arts, but I was able to become a Holy Son. Even if I'm not as good as them, I'm enough to deal with you!"
"Cold Willow Divine Leg!"
As Gongsun Li finished speaking, his figure instantly vanished from his spot. A leg shadow, as fast as a whirlwind, whistled towards Li Xuan's face with immense power.
"Overlord Fist Unrivaled!"
Li Xuan instantly activated his physical defense and then clenched his left fist, punching forward.
Bang!
With the collision, they were both repelled again. In a flash, Li Xuan and Gongsun Li shot towards each other again, engaging in fierce close-quarters combat in mid-air.
Fists and legs blurred into one in the air. Their movements were too fast to be seen clearly by the naked eye. Apart from the sounds of impact that echoed continuously, it was difficult to discern the situation.
However, at this moment, no one had the leisure to spectate Li Xuan and Gongsun Li's battle. All those who could enter this Level 8 ruin had already reached the advanced stage of the Dao Integration realm in terms of strength or combat power.
Currently, various forces were vying for ownership of this place, and the battles had reached a fever pitch. Even the battles between Wu Pengfei and Yue Mingchi were in a deadlock.
"It seems I have to find a breakthrough!"
Looking at the fierce battles between the Xuan Sect and the Saint Sect's Holy Sons around him, Li Xuan began to ponder in his heart. Now, some forces had already entered the surrounding platforms of the three palaces, and the defeated forces had either perished or retreated with severe injuries.
The Holy Sons of the top factions were all fighting with their full strength to win. However, being a Holy Son meant they were not weak. Although there was an order in the Holy Son rankings, it was not easy to determine a winner.
"Yue Mingchi, it seems it won't be easy for your Xuan Sect to win this battle," just as Li Xuan was thinking, Wu Pengfei, the number one on the Holy Son rankings, suddenly said loudly.
The personnel on both sides heard this and retreated, facing each other again.
Yue Mingchi looked up at Wu Pengfei and said, "It is indeed difficult for our Xuan Sect to defeat your Saint Sect, but it's not like your Saint Sect can defeat us. Who will win or lose is yet to be known!"
"If it's about the people here, it is indeed a bit difficult to win against you. However, you wouldn't be so naive to think that our Saint Sect members will be like your junior brother Tianrui, who still cannot recover, right?" Wu Pengfei chuckled and said.
Yue Mingchi, Fu Yaojin, and others all changed their expressions. Hearing Wu Pengfei's words, it seemed that Lai Xuewen and Lai Congwu, who were severely injured by Jian Tianrui, had recovered.
Whoosh!
At this moment, at the entrance barrier of the Level 8 ruin, two sounds of breaking the air suddenly rang out. Then, two figures shot towards the space where Wu Pengfei and his group were, as fast as lightning.
The comers were Lai Xuewen and Lai Congwu.
"They've all recovered? Wu Pengfei, judging by this, the price you paid must have been considerable. Although their injuries were indeed easier to recover from than junior brother Tianrui's, it shouldn't have been within a few days to recover to peak condition."
"I presume these two were your backup plans. I must say, I didn't expect this." Seeing Lai Xuewen and Lai Congwu appear, a look of solemnity flashed across Yue Mingchi's face, but it quickly returned to normal.
"That's right. Healing them indeed wasted a lot of energy, but the loss is negligible compared to taking down this palace. Now, if we fight again, will your Xuan Sect have any chance?"
Wu Pengfei did not deny Yue Mingchi's words, smiling slightly as he looked at Yue Mingchi.
"Your Saint Sect has backup, why wouldn't our Xuan Sect? For you to ask us to retreat now is simply wishful thinking!" Yue Mingchi's gaze shifted to the entrance barrier.
At the entrance of the barrier, a figure also passed through the barrier and appeared in everyone's sight.
The comer was naturally Jian Tianrui, whose thousand-year toad poison had been removed by Li Xuan.
"The thousand-year toad poison in your body has been removed?!" Seeing Jian Tianrui appear, Gongsun Li exclaimed in shock.
After all, the thousand-year toad poison in Jian Tianrui's body was administered by Gongsun Li himself. Seeing Jian Tianrui unaffected by the poison, he was naturally more shocked than others.
"Do I look like I'm faking it?"
Jian Tianrui smiled and then slowly landed opposite Lai Xuewen and Lai Congwu. "I didn't expect you two to have recovered. But that's good. Since you're out now, let's see who can rescue you this time!"
As Jian Tianrui finished speaking, he directly attacked. His figure surged, instantly appearing in front of Lai Xuewen and Lai Congwu. The spiritual light emanating from his hand, as dazzling as daylight, blasted towards the two.
"Gongsun Li, stop holding back and finish this quickly!" Seeing Jian Tianrui attack directly, Wu Pengfei shouted loudly.
Obviously, Wu Pengfei knew that Lai Xuewen and Lai Congwu were no match for Jian Tianrui. At this moment, only one person could defeat their opponent and help Lai Xuewen and Lai Congwu.
And Li Xuan was undoubtedly the weakest in the Xuan Sect's team.
After Wu Pengfei finished speaking, he once again moved towards Yue Mingchi.
Xia Ruman and the others naturally looked towards the Xuan Sect members again.
"Yes, senior brother!" Gongsun Li's expression also tensed. As soon as he spoke, a toad pattern appeared on his forehead.
Clearly, Gongsun Li was also preparing to use a secret technique, the thousand-year toad poison.
Seeing Gongsun Li's actions, Li Xuan's expression tensed, showing a hint of panic.
As expected!
Seeing Li Xuan's expression, a sinister smile instantly appeared on Gongsun Li's face, and the pattern on his forehead became more solidified.
"Little master, you're about to start playing the pig to eat the tiger again," the voice of the Heavenly Dao Brush sounded in Li Xuan's mind.
