The sword light was swift as lightning and silent as a whisper.

With no time to think, Li Guanqi had no choice but to abandon Li Hua in front of him and swing his sword backward!

Clang!!

Standing on the void, Li Guanqi held his sword horizontally with his left hand, deflecting the incoming sword light.

The entirely crimson-gold sword flew out hundreds of meters!

Li Hua, pale-faced and with singed pant legs, staggered backward, dripping wet.

At this moment, Li Hua was utterly terrified.

If he hadn’t kicked Yang Dinghai just now, he would be the one dead.

He had never seen Li Guanqi in action before. Even when he saw Lin Quan’s miserable state in the courtyard, he only thought the other party was a bit ruthless.

But when he truly faced Li Guanqi, he realized that the other party was not just ruthless.

The look in his eyes and his demeanor when killing were enough to send chills down one’s spine!!

Suddenly!!

The tribulation clouds in the sky, which were about to dissipate, suddenly shot out a spear of purple lightning!!

In a flash, Zhao Beichen raised his hand and pushed Li Hua!

Pfft!!

Because of this push, the lightning spear instantly pierced through Li Hua’s right shoulder, shattering his scapula and sending him plummeting to the ground!

Bang!!

The lightning spear, about a meter long, exploded, blowing off half of Li Hua’s shoulder and pinning him to the mountain peak!

“Ah!!!! Ah!!!”

“Zhao Beichen!! Save me!!”

“It hurts!! It hurts so much!!!”

However, Zhao Beichen in the sky ignored Li Hua’s cries, and with a single hand gesture, his long sword flew back into his hand.

With a grim expression, Zhao Beichen looked arrogantly at Li Guanqi.

“I must say, I admire your resolve, but I lament your foolishness.”

“Even if you leave the Sect, the Purple Sun Hall will never let this go.”

At this, Zhao Beichen smiled slightly.

“Heh, fortunately, you didn’t kill him. The Tianxiao Sect won’t trouble the Great Xia Sword Sect, at most they’ll discuss compensation.”

“But I really don’t understand, why didn’t you wait until after our duel tomorrow to kill?”

Li Guanqi looked at him calmly and spoke softly.

“After tomorrow… I won’t be able to kill them all.”

“Fine, let’s settle this here, as a contest for supremacy!”

Buzz!!!

In an instant, an unparalleled powerful aura erupted from Li Guanqi!

“Half-step Golden Elixir!!”

Zhao Beichen’s pupils contracted, and his aura surged dramatically!

Boom!!!

A hint of madness flashed in Zhao Beichen’s eyes. Proud as he was, how could he avoid a fight?

In a breath, he adjusted his aura to its peak, just a step away from the Golden Elixir Realm.

“Words are useless. Today, it’s either you die or I live. Only one of us will walk out of here alive!”

Boom!!

In an instant, the two figures turned into two streaks of light and collided.

Zhao Beichen, who had been holding back, dared not hold back any longer.

If before he thought he could toy with Li Guanqi.

Now… he would use all his strength to face him!!

Boom!!

A flash of light appeared between Zhao Beichen’s brows, and the spirit soul weapon long sword in his hand emitted a golden glow!

He had long noticed that the sword in Li Guanqi’s hand was also a spirit soul weapon.

‘Blade Breaker!’

Ding ding ding ding ding!!

In an instant, the sword lights in front of them merged into one, and the basic sword techniques in their hands transformed into countless variations.

Li Guanqi was shocked; he hadn’t expected Zhao Beichen’s sword speed to be so fast!

As their swords clashed, sparks flew!

Every strike of the Cang Lang Sword entwined with purple lightning made Zhao Beichen’s arm go numb.

Li Guanqi’s eyes lowered, and the blood-red sword in the spirit ruin between his brows flickered with a red glow!

In a breath, Li Guanqi shouted, “Gale!!”

Swish swish swish!!

In an instant, the speed of Li Guanqi’s left-hand sword skyrocketed, delivering ten strikes in a single breath!

The terrifying sword speed instantly forced Zhao Beichen into a retreat.

As their figures moved rapidly, Zhao Beichen soon had over a dozen sword wounds on his body.

Although he avoided fatal areas, his sect robe was torn and bloodied.

Yet Zhao Beichen’s eyes remained calm and terrifyingly steady.

Suddenly!

Zhao Beichen’s sword stance changed abruptly, revealing a hint of a grand momentum!

His sword, with a mysterious attack, slashed towards Li Guanqi!

“Nine Suns Qingyun Sword!!”

Sensing the danger, Li Guanqi’s wrist flicked, and his sword stance surged!

In an instant, where the sword light passed, it was as if six thunderous lotuses bloomed wildly!

Bang bang bang!!

Boom!!

Li Guanqi’s heart tightened, and the vast sword light engulfed him!

His sword drew an impenetrable defensive light, and his left hand trembled slightly.

Ding ding ding ding ding!!

The sound of clashing sword lights was incessant.

But soon, Li Guanqi realized something was wrong. He noticed a crack forming on his Cang Lang Sword!

Looking up, he met Zhao Beichen’s mocking gaze!!

With a bang, the sword in Li Guanqi’s hand shattered into countless pieces!

The Cang Lang Sword broke!

But just as the sword shattered, Zhao Beichen’s sword light turned into a relentless thrust!

Bang!!!

A figure was sent flying dozens of meters!

As the figure rolled, it revealed a pitch-black armor!

Zhao Beichen stood in place, panting heavily. He hadn’t expected the other party to have such a weapon!!

‘War Orb!’

Zhao Beichen squinted his eyes, his Primordial Energy fluctuating violently as he spoke in a deep voice, “Mo family’s War Orb!”

“You got it from the secret realm!”

Li Guanqi looked down at the War Orb pierced through his chest, frowning.

It seemed he had underestimated Zhao Beichen’s strength. This level of War Orb couldn’t withstand his attack!

Looking up at Zhao Beichen, he spoke softly, “It seems that secret realm was indeed the work of your Purple Sun Hall.”

Zhao Beichen sneered coldly, “Even if you know, what can your Great Xia Sword Sect do to me?”

“Even if you kill an Elder, it’s just a drop in the ocean for the Purple Sun Hall!”

“But you, with your spirit soul weapon broken, what will you fight me with?”

Li Guanqi looked expressionlessly at the bloodied and pale Zhao Beichen.

Slowly, he took off the giant sword box from his back.

Zhao Beichen’s heart skipped a beat, his eyes narrowing as he thought to himself.

“That sword box isn’t just for show? Why have I never seen him use it!”

“Didn’t they say in his Sect… that they’ve never seen him open the sword box!”

Li Guanqi suddenly slapped the sword box, and violent lightning Primordial Energy surged into it!!

In an instant, the originally pitch-black sword box revealed countless blood-red mysterious patterns!

Crack crack crack!

The left side of the sword box suddenly showed some cracks, and then a long sword with a red hilt shot out!!

A mysterious voice suddenly appeared in Li Guanqi’s mind!

“Sword name – Red Lotus!”
