"Hiss!"
Two people on the opposite side moved in unison, their actions astonishingly fast. Like lightning and thunder, laws intertwined as they unleashed their sacred artifacts to suppress and kill.
Li Xiaotian's heart tightened. He immediately retreated, then stared intently at Zi Xiaohan and the other two, saying, "Your shackles are fake."
Because the white-robed youth before him displayed power far greater than before, Li Xiaotian instantly understood, his gaze turning incredibly cold.
It was clear that Zi Xiaohan and the other two originally belonged to the Seventh District, and then the three opponents crossed over into the Sixth District. Their brief engagement earlier was a mere escape, and the truth was they wanted to lure him here.
"Haha, that's right. We entered through the Seventh District entrance, using a gravitational concealment technique to enter the Sixth District and lure you over. Did you really think we were inferior to you earlier?!" the white-robed youth said sinisterly and coldly, with a hint of hatred.
Chaos energy appeared on Zi Xiaohan, stronger than before. He stood there, like a reincarnated God King, his purple eyes piercing like lightning!
"Originally, I intended to cultivate across realms. The million jin of chains are a form of tempering for me. It's best to have them!" Li Xiaotian was extremely formidable, treating the shackles not as a burden. At this moment, he unleashed his full power.
Boom!
Instantly, a heaven-shattering sword energy surged upwards. Li Xiaotian produced a massive sword, emitting terrifying fluctuations and dazzling brilliance. He swung his sword, sending countless sword Qi attacks indiscriminately.
The few people in front were greatly shocked. They resisted with all their might, unleashing various magic artifacts, and even their sacred artifacts were fully revived, pressing down.
"Clang!"
Those sword Qi strikes were like real swords, possessing terrifying power. This was Li Xiaotian, having merged the sword intent he had recently comprehended with his own, unleashing a move far superior to anything before.
Countless sword Qi descended like rain, striking the sacred artifacts used by Zi Xiaohan and the other two for defense. Simultaneously, the purple-gold gourd among them became the primary target.
"Bang!"
With a deafening crash, the purple-gold gourd shattered into pieces!
"Ah..." The white-robed youth, owner of the purple-gold gourd, suffered a backlash and spat out a mouthful of blood.
In the next moment, the middle-aged woman and the other two all fell to the ground, their faces pale. They escaped from the shattered purple-gold gourd, trembling all over, their faces devoid of any color.
They were utterly terrified, knowing that disaster was imminent. Now, they truly had nowhere to hide, no escape from heaven or earth.
Being chased like dogs, they thought they could escape calamity by encountering Zi Xiaohan, but now it seemed they still couldn't avoid death.
The person before them was too powerful, pursuing them across realms like a demon god, possessing an invincible aura!
"Before the real battle begins, I'll deal with you first," Li Xiaotian said coldly.
"No!" the middle-aged woman cried out in panic. The other two had already collapsed onto the ground.
"Stop!" Zi Xiaohan tried to intervene, advancing with a dragon-like stride.
"Pfft."
Li Xiaotian swung his sword, instantly slicing the middle-aged woman and the other two into bloody mist. The sword Qi, accompanied by devouring power, annihilated them in an instant.
"If I want to kill you, no one can save you!" Li Xiaotian's icy words echoed through the mountain range, revealing immense confidence that even gods would be cut down.
The depths of the mountain range fell silent. Even ferocious birds and beasts sensed a crisis and hibernated, daring not to make a sound.
"You killed them, and you won't survive either!" someone behind Zi Xiaohan curled their lips slightly, revealing a mocking smile.
"The path is one you chose yourself. You rushed to your death, and no one could stop you!" the white-robed youth snarled, gritting his teeth.
Zi Xiaohan stopped ahead. He possessed the bearing of a dragon and tiger, with a sturdy build and thick hair, appearing majestic and heroic, enveloped in a faint, purple halo, brilliant and crystalline.
He seemed like a God King descending from the heavenly realm to inspect, appearing incredibly dignified. With every opening and closing of his eyes, cold lightning seemed to fly throughout the mountain range, tearing through the void.
"It seems this battle between us is inevitable!" Zi Xiaohan stated, his words authoritative, like an emperor. A strand of light descended from the purple-gold crown on his head.
"Why the pretense? You just wanted to lure me here for a fight, didn't you?" Li Xiaotian sneered coldly.
"You're mistaken. You overestimate yourself. What 'battle'? We just want to torture and kill you!" the white-robed youth spoke, his words chilling and filled with arrogance.
"Relying on just the three of you?" Li Xiaotian's lips revealed a cold smile.
"We were merely feigning weakness before. Now, we'll let you understand supreme profound arts and what it means to be invincible among your peers!" one of them said indifferently.
"Let me face him," Zi Xiaohan said.
"Why should Brother Zi make a move? The two of us are more than enough. He won't have a chance to seek your guidance," the white-robed youth intercepted Zi Xiaohan, then looked at Li Xiaotian, a mocking smile on his lips.
Li Xiaotian narrowed his eyes, looking at Zi Xiaohan with a hint of coldness, "Do you dare to fight?"
"Haven't you heard us? Today, we will kill you, allowing you to comprehend the vastness of the universe and the demeanor of the powerful!" the white-robed youth said plainly.
Boom!
Li Xiaotian suddenly moved, launching a fierce attack, transforming into a golden, scorching bolt of lightning towards one of them, choosing the white-robed youth.
"Slap!"
Another slap landed squarely. The force of Li Xiaotian's strike was immense, capable of pulverizing entire mountain ranges into dust.
However, this person was merely sent flying, bloody and with a shattered jaw. He was not completely annihilated.
"Roar..."
The white-robed youth roared in anger. In the Sixth District, Li Xiaotian had already smashed half his face, and now this had happened again, leaving him in a sorry state.
Li Xiaotian frowned slightly. Although he had shattered the man's jaw, a strand of his sword Qi was dissolved and merged into the opponent's body.
What kind of profound art was this, capable of neutralizing attack power? It seemed to bear a slight resemblance to his own devouring power, which was very strange.
"Boom!"
The two moved in unison, each emitting light, as if a field of gravitational lightning was dancing, rendering everyone hazy and shrouded in mist.
At this moment, the two seemed to have merged, able to share life. The injured person recovered instantly, his bleeding stopped.
Simultaneously, Li Xiaotian's sword Qi appeared on both of them, condensing into four streams, transforming into four sharp swords that flew out, attacking Li Xiaotian himself.
"Clang clang..."
Harsh sounds rang out. Li Xiaotian countered rapidly, his heart leaping. He was facing his own sword Qi, which was being reflected back at him.
"Two Forms Four Symbols Array!"
Li Xiaotian's eyes sharpened. This was a peculiar formation, not laid out on the ground but using the two individuals as formation flags. It was a living human formation, mysterious and unfathomable.
The two were by no means ordinary opponents. Now, by jointly setting up the formation, they had conjured an ancient killing aura that defied heaven and earth, terrifying without limit.
Li Xiaotian battled them fiercely, his marvelous techniques continuously displayed, his golden blood energy surging like a torrent. However, they absorbed it all, then recreated it, launching it back at him.
Tai Chi gives birth to the Two Forms, the Two Forms give birth to the Four Symbols, and the Four Symbols evolve into the Eight Trigrams. They manifested the Four Symbols Array diagram, summoning wind and rain, arranging a miniature world of gods and demons.
Li Xiaotian's expression grew solemn. In addition to battling the two experts, he also had to contend with this formation, which truly allowed for no underestimation.
Using humans as formation flags made it very different from conventional formations, and difficult to break.
But finally, he slowly managed to escape the predicament of fighting against his own power.
