Until now, Li Guanqi had consecutively defeated three disciples from Xuanmen Hall.

Powerful!

Li Guanqi’s strength had become a common recognition among all.

Moreover, the strength Li Guanqi displayed was that calm and composed kind, regardless of whom he faced.

And as the tales of his deeds spread, everyone was eager to see how far this blind youth could go.

Soon, the fourth disciple from Xuanmen Hall took the stage.

The burly young man didn’t give Li Guanqi any chance to catch his breath, launching a relentless assault that was nearly unbroken.

Amidst the flickering sword light, the young man’s gaze turned increasingly fierce!

He was actually employing a desperate tactic of trading injury for injury, continuously attacking Li Guanqi.

In contrast, Li Guanqi moved leisurely, like a stroll in the courtyard, beside his opponent.

Seizing the opportunity, with his right hand wielding the sword, he changed his moves three times in quick succession, piercing through the opponent’s palm, the blade stopping a finger’s breadth from the opponent’s eyes!

The young man’s throat moved with difficulty, his voice hoarse as he spoke.

“I lost…”

The fifth one! Three swords!

The sixth one! Seven swords!

…

Li Guanqi kept challenging everyone’s expectations time and again.

But the disciples from Xuanmen Hall, under the scolding of the Elders, also burst forth with impressive strength.

After all, those chosen to participate in this competition were among the best in their Sect.

Techniques, Spirit Talismans, Spirit Spells, sword techniques!

A dazzling array of methods emerged one after another.

Li Guanqi’s Primordial Energy was also being wildly consumed in the process.

His injuries increased significantly.

When he cut off the wrist of the ninth disciple, the staggering youth quickly propped his long sword on the ground.

The proud figure slowly straightened up!

Li Guanqi, pale as paper, looked around and called out in a daze, “Next!!”

Swoosh!

A youth with a stern face leaped onto the high platform!

The youth, at the peak of his momentum, looked solemnly at the young man covered in sword wounds, not daring to underestimate him.

Just when everyone thought he couldn’t continue, Li Guanqi always surprised them time and again.

At this moment, Li Guanqi’s mind was exceptionally clear, his hands slowly coming together.

But in the end, he resisted the urge to switch the Cang Lang Sword to his left hand.

He could naturally sense that the opponent before him was not simple.

But he felt it wasn’t time to use his left hand yet!

Boom!!

As the starting signal fell, the opponent burst forth with his strongest move without any hesitation!

The sharp metallic Primordial Energy, even from a dozen yards away, made Li Guanqi’s skin prickle.

Everyone watching Li Guanqi, who stood still, couldn’t help but sweat for him.

Suddenly!

Ge Qing in the sky narrowed his eyes, and even Long Qu, hidden in the Void, let out a surprised murmur!

The young man covered in wounds slowly raised his sword!!

In that moment, Li Guanqi’s demeanor changed dramatically!

The once tranquil youth, like a pool of clear water, now resembled a calm sea suddenly rising into towering waves!!

Momentum!

All the cultivators in the Elemental Infant Realm couldn’t help but be stunned!

It is known that powerful swordsmen can refine and comprehend their own Sword Intent based on their experiences.

And the prerequisite for Intent is Momentum!

Only by first understanding Momentum, through refinement and finding one’s own Momentum, can one comprehend their own Sword Intent.

Yet the youth before them had already touched upon Momentum at the Foundation Establishment realm!!

How could this not shock them?

And the disciple from Xuanmen Hall in the arena felt the overwhelming momentum even more!

Before him seemed to appear a towering wave, and he felt like an insignificant boat that could be capsized by the opponent at any moment!

Li Guanqi’s brows furrowed slightly, his eyes filled with a fierce determination.

That unyielding, wild fighting spirit made countless hearts tremble.

Purple lightning surged like a torrential river, layer upon layer emerging.

The long sword hummed, emitting a clear sword cry!!

Li Guanqi took a forceful step forward, swinging his sword with all his might!!

Terrifying power, mixed with the last of his Primordial Energy, unleashed a mighty sword strike!

In an instant, a burst of blood mist exploded from his right arm!

The power of the Sword Ruins had already been unsustainable since the battle with the sixth disciple.

This was his last sword strike!

Boom!!

Li Guanqi shouted, “Thunder Tide!!”

This was a sword technique he created under the Great Thousand Waterfall, combining his own insights.

The young man a few yards away was too late to dodge.

He could only muster all his Primordial Energy, pouring it into his long sword.

In an instant, the sword burst forth with a dazzling crimson-gold color.

The young man took seven steps in quick succession, his mysterious footwork making his figure elusive.

Boom!!

The sharp metallic spiritual power exploded instantly, the long sword feinting several times, aiming straight for Li Guanqi’s vitals!

The young man shouted, “Thousand Departure Sword Slash!!!”

In a flash, the long sword turned into hundreds of sword light phantoms striking towards Li Guanqi!

Boom!!

A violent explosion sounded, and the flagstones beneath their feet suddenly burst apart!

The massive arena shook violently, and a figure was blasted dozens of yards away by the explosion!

Thud!

The figure fell to the ground motionless, breathing faintly.

Amidst the dust in the air, a figure stood proudly in the center of the arena.

Drip! Drip!

Li Guanqi, covered in blood, had wounds turned inside out, looking ferocious.

His slightly disheveled black hair obscured his face.

All eyes were focused on the figure on the platform.

But at that moment, a murmuring voice suddenly came from the platform.

The top of Tianyu Mountain was silent, everyone holding their breath, listening to what the youth wanted to say.

Then, a faint voice emerged unclearly from the youth’s mouth.

“Next… the next one…”

At that moment, even the steely-hearted Qin Xian couldn’t help but shed tears!

Li Nanting transformed into a streak of light, rushing onto the arena, opening his arms to embrace the severely injured youth.

Gently patting his back, he choked up, “There’s no… no next one.”

“You… won!”

Indeed, it was only then that everyone realized something.

The youth on the platform had truly defeated ten cultivators of the same realm in succession with his own strength!!

The first Inferno Challenge, a success!!

And the opponent was from the renowned Xuanmen Hall, one of the Three Sects and Six Halls of the Northern Territory!!

At that moment, countless people cheered and shouted in frenzy!

Spectacular!

That was everyone’s assessment of Li Guanqi’s battle today.

And for Li Guanqi himself, praise was generously given.

Because he deserved all the accolades.

The name of a prodigy spread far and wide.

Upon hearing the Old Man’s words, Li Guanqi closed his eyes and collapsed into the Old Man’s arms.

Li Nanting, holding the unconscious youth, flew away from the peak of Tianyu Mountain!

And the ranking of the Great Xia Sword Sect rose directly to the twelfth place!
