Wu Tian's high praise left Lei Qianjiao deeply shocked.
He hadn't expected Li Xingyun's standing in Wu Tian's eyes to be so high.
If that was the case, then she would have to take a good look and see what exactly allowed Li Xingyun, with the strength of a low-grade immortal, to defeat a high-grade immortal.
Meanwhile, on the fighting platform, Zhang Qi's expression was quite grim.
He hadn't expected Li Xingyun, a low-grade immortal, to have made it this far.
He said darkly, "Li Xingyun, I seem to have underestimated your strength."
"For a trash like you to be qualified to fight me, I must say, it surprises me."
Li Xingyun smiled and replied, "Isn't it a bit too early to be surprised now?"
"If you lose to me later, wouldn't that be the best surprise?"
"What did you say?" Zhang Qi was startled, and then his expression became even more somber.
"You brat, you truly don't know the immensity of heaven and earth!"
"Do you think that just because you've defeated two mid-grade immortals, you're truly qualified to contend with me?"
"I am a high-grade immortal! To deal with you is as simple as crushing an ant for me!"
"Speaking of which, it's not necessarily a bad thing that you've made it this far."
"After all, this way, I can personally torment you properly..."
As he spoke, Zhang Qi drew his sword.
In response, Li Xingyun shook his head and said, "Senior Brother, why must you be like this?"
"We are fellow disciples, after all. I grew up under your watch."
"By rights, you are my elder. Why do you keep being stubborn with me?"
Zhang Qi said gloomily, "Stop your nonsense."
"Let me tell you, if I had known from the start that you were such a character."
"I would have killed you long ago. Why would I wait until today?"
Zhang Qi's words were too blunt, causing Li Xingyun to sigh again:
"I didn't expect that you would hate me to this extent. Is this the trouble of a genius?"
"This world is never short of mediocrity, but geniuses are rare."
"If you target me, a genius, like this, and truly kill me, then your sin will be great."
Seeing that Li Xingyun still dared to mock him, Zhang Qi was so angry his lungs felt like they would explode.
He pointed his sword at Li Xingyun and said, "You little bastard, your wings have truly grown strong, to dare say such things to me."
"Then today, I want to see how many moves a trash like you can withstand against me!"
With that, Zhang Qi stopped talking to Li Xingyun.
He directly swept his long sword horizontally, and his immortal energy was immediately released.
The sharp immortal energy condensed behind Zhang Qi, and then actually formed six sharp light swords!
Under Zhang Qi's command, the six light swords also transformed into sharp trajectories.
They flew towards Li Xingyun like meteors!
"Fractured Sword?" Li Xingyun muttered, then let out a loud shout.
The long sword behind him flew out of its scabbard on its own and landed in his hand.
He injected immortal energy into the long sword, and a sharp aura immediately flowed from the sword's edge.
Li Xingyun's gaze was no longer as casual as before, but sharp like a falcon's!
He perfectly locked onto those light swords, then his figure flickered, dodging all the attacks from the light swords.
With almost no room for thought, he raised his hand and struck, precisely hitting all the light swords.
With frequent explosions, those light swords actually shattered!
"How can this be? This is too exaggerated!"
The disciples on the platform exclaimed.
"Yes, although Fractured Sword is only a low-grade immortal skill, it's still a very strong type."
"But how could Li Xingyun break it so easily?"
Zhang Qi was also stunned.
Although his move was just a probe,
He hadn't expected Li Xingyun to be able to break it so easily.
Li Xingyun didn't seem to be exerting any effort.
He said to Zhang Qi, "Senior Brother, if you really want to make a move on me, then don't use such moves, alright?"
"I have thoroughly studied Fractured Sword. It's impossible to hurt me with this move."
Zhang Qi said gloomily, "Is that so? You've only broken a low-grade immortal skill, and you're acting so proud."
"Then let's see if you've also thoroughly studied this move?!"
Zhang Qi's voice suddenly deepened, and then he suddenly swept his long sword horizontally upwards.
A huge, luminous sword arc immediately slid across the ground, rushing straight towards Li Xingyun.
This move was full of oppressive power, clearly a mid-grade immortal skill with considerable might.
For an ordinary low-grade immortal, if hit, the only outcome would be death!
But facing such a move, Li Xingyun still showed no panic.
Instead, a smile appeared on his lips.
Just as the arc light was about to hit him, he stomped his foot, and his entire body suddenly flew dozens of meters into the sky.
The arc light lost its target and flew towards the audience.
But it was quickly intercepted by the protective shield that came with the fighting platform.
Li Xingyun fell from the sky, and at the same time, he casually swung his sword a few times. Several sword energies immediately descended from the sky.
"A trivial skill."
Zhang Qi said disdainfully.
But just as he was about to block, he suddenly realized that the sword energy's target was not him!
The sword energy landed around Zhang Qi, shattering the floor tiles and raising thick dust.
Zhang Qi let out a low roar and shook away the dust.
But when he looked up, he saw Li Xingyun charging straight at him!
The long sword flashed with a chilling, sharp light!
"Trouble!"
Li Xingyun's speed was too fast, and Zhang Qi couldn't handle it properly for a moment.
In desperation, he could only choose to dodge to the side!
But at this moment, Li Xingyun suddenly accelerated!
Like divine punishment from the heavens, he crashed onto the ground with an extremely mighty posture!
With a bang, a large amount of rubble flew from the landing spot, and even thicker dust instantly filled the air.
"Wonderful!"
Seeing this, Wu Tian couldn't help but exclaim.
Li Xingyun's series of actions just now could be described as textbook-perfect.
He first dodged Zhang Qi's attack, then deliberately attacked Zhang Qi's surroundings in the air, using the dust to obscure Zhang Qi's vision.
Finally, he delivered a surprise attack!
It was a seamless execution, without any wasted movement!
All of this required instant planning and immediate execution.
The difficulty was extremely high.
Yet Li Xingyun managed to achieve it so perfectly.
This guy... is simply a genius in combat!
