Zhang Qi was unwilling to believe this judgment in his heart.
However, no matter how much he resisted, the current outcome was already such.
The Phantom Swordplay was of no use against Li Xingyun at all.
And he had once again lost face in front of everyone.
The anger surging in his heart was almost enough to burn him up.
He tightened his grip on the long sword in his hand and said, his body trembling, "Bastard, bastard!"
"Originally, I was giving you face and didn't want to use the strength of a high-grade immortal to deal with you."
"But since you're so eager to be beaten, then don't blame me for being impolite!"
With that, Zhang Qi let out a low roar, and immediately, violent fluctuations emanated from his body.
Sensing this fluctuation, Li Xingyun's expression also became much more solemn.
He could clearly feel that this was the fluctuation of a high-grade immortal skill.
This Zhang Qi was clearly intending to get serious!
And in the audience, everyone looked at Zhang Qi in surprise.
"No way, Zhang Qi was actually forced to use a high-grade immortal skill?"
"Isn't that too much? Li Xingyun is just a low-grade immortal, is it worth going to such lengths?"
"You can't say that, you've seen Li Xingyun's strength, you can't judge him by his appearance."
"But since the high-grade immortal skill is already out, then Li Xingyun should be out of the game."
The crowd continued to discuss, and the public opinion was leaning towards Zhang Qi.
After all, even though Li Xingyun had given them too many surprises.
But a high-grade immortal skill is a high-grade immortal skill!
If one simply wanted to contend with skills, it would be almost impossible.
As the immortal energy condensed more and more, a giant sword shadow appeared above Zhang Qi's head and slowly took shape.
This sword looked crystal clear, as if it were made of crystal, exceptionally beautiful.
However, beauty was merely a disguise for this move.
Anyone with combat experience could not ignore the sharpness emanating from it.
This move, even among high-grade immortal skills, belonged to the more powerful ones.
If they were to clash head-on, even the Destructive Thunder Spear from the Heavenly Thunder Canon would be at a disadvantage.
However, Zhang Qi was not a true high-grade immortal, so he appeared to be struggling greatly while condensing this move.
This was equivalent to his trump card.
Although he felt it was not worth using this move against Li Xingyun.
But now, he had already lost face to Li Xingyun twice in a row.
So he couldn't care about anything else.
No matter what, he had to regain his dignity today.
Otherwise, how could he continue to have any face in the Heavenly Sword Divine Sect in the future?
Facing this move, Li Xingyun did not act rashly.
At this moment, it seemed like the perfect time to attack.
But he knew very well that as soon as he charged forward, even if the move was not fully completed, Zhang Qi would instantly unleash it.
At that time, he would be full of openings and fall into a dangerous situation.
At present, if he relied on himself alone, he was completely incapable of resisting.
Almost subconsciously, his gaze fell on Wu Tian.
And upon meeting his gaze, Wu Tian understood his meaning.
So he nodded.
Receiving Wu Tian's consent, Li Xingyun let out a deep breath.
He was a person who rarely showed serious emotions.
But at this moment, his expression was exceptionally solemn.
It was completely inconsistent with his persona.
Zhang Qi also noticed his change, but did not think he could do anything.
So he said with a sinister smile, "Li Xingyun, I think you should just give up."
"As soon as I unleash this move, you are bound to lose today."
"Don't expect me to go easy on you. If I can kill you with this,"
"Then it would be the best thing for me!"
Li Xingyun said coldly, "Don't make yourself out to be so powerful, will you?"
"Do you think I can't see through you?"
"You want to control this move, but in reality, you can't do it at all, can you?"
"You!" Zhang Qi froze abruptly.
Although Li Xingyun's words made him extremely uncomfortable.
Li Xingyun had not said a single word wrong.
He had already used almost all his energy just to condense this move.
If he still wanted to control its intensity, it was impossible.
The more Li Xingyun saw through him, the more furious he became.
He said fiercely, "So what if you know these things? What else can you do?"
"Stop showing off your skills in front of me, they are useless against high-grade immortal skills!"
"You are already on the verge of death. If you want to repent, wait for your next life!"
Li Xingyun shook his head and said, "No, I won't die. As for you, I think you should be careful."
"As for what I'm about to do, even I don't have much confidence."
"As for you, you just need to figure out how not to die."
Li Xingyun's words made Zhang Qi feel incredulous.
He really couldn't understand why Li Xingyun dared to say such things at this point.
Did this kid really have some trick up his sleeve?
But he quickly dismissed this thought.
Impossible, this was absolutely impossible.
A low-grade immortal, even with all his means, could never contend with him.
Otherwise, there would be no logic at all!
Thinking of this, he laughed heartily and said, "Li Xingyun, at this point, you're still trying to be tough with me, aren't you?"
"If you really have the ability, then cripple me."
"Otherwise, the one who will be crippled today can only be you!"
As soon as Zhang Qi said this, the giant sword above his head suddenly erupted with a fierce aura.
For a moment, even those at the farthest stands felt a sharp energy impact their faces.
Li Xingyun held his breath, and the immortal energy within his body rapidly circulated.
He held back nothing, and a brilliant light erupted from his body!
"This is?!"
Sensing Li Xingyun's aura, Lei Qianjiao was shocked.
She quickly looked at Wu Tian and said, "Wu Tian, what's going on?"
"On him... why is there your aura?!"
Wu Tian's lips curved into a smile and he said, "It's not time to be surprised yet."
"Haven't you noticed that what he's about to use is not a skill from the Heavenly Sword Divine Sect?"
"Hmm?" These words made Lei Qianjiao stunned.
She looked at Li Xingyun with confusion, and soon, even greater shock surged onto her face!
"No... isn't this a lightning-attribute skill?"
"How did he, a disciple of the Heavenly Sword Divine Sect, learn such a skill?"
