78: Win?

Li Xingyan's gaze turned sharp. He formed hand seals, and towering flames tore through the clouds, while scorching stardust poured down like a lava waterfall.

Countless flames, like meteors, rained down from the sky, and surging inferno quickly ignited, incinerating the entire forest in the blink of an eye.

Even though Tian Linfeng desperately circulated the Spirit Devouring Reincarnation Art, the continuous stream of fiery meteors still revealed Tian Linfeng's figure in the forest.

Without hesitation, Li Xingyan used his movement technique, arriving in front of Tian Linfeng instantly with his heavy sword and striking down hard.

In that instant, within this sea of fire, Li Xingyan and Tian Linfeng finally erupted into a true great battle.

Their figures constantly intertwined in the air, from the sky to the ground, and then from the ground to the sky. Various powerful spell techniques were continuously unleashed, and the clashing sounds of Sharp Weapons were incessant and thrilling.

In just a few short minutes, all the burning trees were destroyed, and even the sturdy platform developed one large pit after another.

Li Xingyan wielded his heavy sword, his Moves broad and powerful, each strike seemingly carrying immense weight, making Tian Linfeng afraid to meet them head-on, forcing him to constantly entangle with Li Xingyan using various bizarre and unpredictable spell techniques.

It seemed Li Xingyan had the upper hand, but in reality, neither could truly overcome the other.

After all, in these three years, although Li Xingyan's Cultivation had rapidly improved with Fire Old's help and he had undergone many life-and-death trials, his combat experience was very strong.

However, the lack of spell techniques was Li Xingyan's weakness.

In contrast, Tian Linfeng, although having less combat experience and being extremely cautious, not daring to clash directly with Li Xingyan, possessed a great many powerful spell techniques.

His wood-elemental Moves, in particular, were known for their bizarre and unpredictable nature, making them hard to guard against.

At the same time, the Spirit Devouring Reincarnation Art that Sun Ping taught Tian Linfeng indeed caused Li Xingyan great trouble.

Because of the Spirit Devouring Reincarnation Art, ordinary flames simply couldn't affect Tian Linfeng's spell techniques, forcing Li Xingyan to use Beast Fire, but Beast Fire consumed a lot of Spiritual Qi.

Therefore, although Li Xingyan seemed to have the upper hand at this moment, he had already shown some signs of decline.

"Boom!"

With another massive roar, Li Xingyan and Tian Linfeng briefly pulled apart.

At this moment, Li Xingyan held his heavy sword, panting, his body covered in wounds, with scarlet blood flowing.

On the other side, Tian Linfeng was also not doing well. Scorching flames had left charred marks all over his body, and a faint scent of cooked meat could even be vaguely detected.

Tian Linfeng's originally handsome face was already somewhat distorted; the burning pain constantly stimulated this "Prodigy," making his smile appear somewhat deranged.

"Li Xingyan, I admit you have some talent, but I will make you realize how big the gap between you and me is."

After speaking, Tian Linfeng took a deep breath, his killing intent undisguised in his eyes.

Tian Linfeng's long sword suddenly shot into the sky, then he formed hand seals, and an astonishing scene followed.

Amidst the surging sea of clouds, a flash of Azure Dragon light suddenly tore through the sky, and an Azure Dragon phantom broke out of the clouds, instantly dyeing the white clouds with a blue glow.

Immediately, the Dragon's head rose, and a Dragon's roar ripped through the air, vibrating the heart like distant thunder.

Seeing this, Li Xingyan not only showed no fear but instead his eyes were filled with an undisguised excitement.

Li Xingyan held his sword with both hands, his Obsidian heavy sword humming incessantly. Immediately, a dark flame covered the blade, and in an instant, the surrounding Spiritual Qi continuously converged, the dark sword light surged to thirty meters, and the terrifying temperature scorched the air, deforming it.

"Azure Dragon Sky Strike, Shatter Mountains and Rivers!"

Tian Linfeng was the first to let out a frenzied roar, and then the Azure Dragon phantom in the sky fiercely spat out a Dragon's breath.

The terrifying Dragon's breath, mixed with azure lightning, swooped down, and wherever it passed, the ground cracked inch by inch.

Li Xiangyun showed no fear, holding his great sword and heavily slashing down at the Dragon's breath.

"Blazing Instant Hell Kill, Heaven Cleaver!"

Under the gaze of all, the black sword light and the Dragon's breath collided with a thunderous crash, and a dazzling light erupted between heaven and earth.

A powerful shockwave spread out like a tsunami, instantly engulfing the figures of Li Xingyan and Tian Linfeng.

Subsequently, the violent energy impacted the barrier, making the onlookers feel a scorching heat even from thousands of meters away.

"What a terrifying spell technique! It's hard to imagine that this is the power unleashed by two Cultivators who have just achieved Foundation Establishment."

"I originally thought this Li Xingyan being able to Cultivate to Foundation Establishment was already Prodigy enough, but I didn't expect his strength to be so great."

"Is this the 'waste' from the rumors?"

"What should we do? Tian Linfeng isn't going to lose, is he?"

At this moment, all the gamblers who bet on Tian Linfeng winning felt their hearts clench, their eyes fixed on the scene on the battle platform, afraid to see Tian Linfeng defeated.

Then, under the expectant gazes of the crowd, the Spiritual Qi storm on the battle platform gradually subsided, revealing two battered and miserable figures.

Tian Linfeng was kneeling on the scorched ground, blood continuously dripping from his empty right shoulder, raising faint dust.

As for the jade long sword that had transformed into an Azure Dragon, its glow had dimmed, and it lay fallen beside Tian Linfeng.

On the other side, Li Xingyan was also equally disheveled, covered in wounds, and his clothes were tattered.

But compared to Tian Linfeng, he was undoubtedly much better off.

The most obvious difference was that Li Xingyan remained standing. His posture was upright, his gaze firm, and his demeanor steady yet sharp.

Without a doubt, Li Xingyan had won!

But Li Xingyan understood that he didn't win by clashing spell techniques, but by the strength of his Physical Body.

Because of the previous life-and-death trials, Li Xingyan not only successfully refined the Earth Core Glazed Flame but also reshaped his Physical Body and achieved the Awakening of the Myriad Fire Divine Body.

It was no exaggeration to say that even if Li Xingyan hadn't deliberately undergone Body Refining, his current Physical Body strength was in no way inferior to a Body Cultivator's.

This was also the reason Li Xingyan could remain unharmed after such a terrifying clash of spell techniques.

"Impossible..." A hoarse roar squeezed out from his blood-stained throat. Tian Linfeng's pale face was filled with disbelief.

He couldn't believe that he had actually lost to a 'waste'.

"No, I haven't lost yet!"

A light suddenly shone in Tian Linfeng's gray eyes, "I still have the Myriad Beast Fire!"

As he spoke, a black-green flame suddenly erupted from Tian Linfeng's body.

In an instant, an ancient roar suddenly sounded, and even the Spirit Beasts on the distant mountains began to cry out in unison.

At the same time, an extremely terrifying temperature began to spread, and this high temperature was far hotter than Li Xingyan's Beast Fire.

On the battle platform, the crowd, who had almost despaired upon seeing Tian Linfeng defeated, suddenly had their eyes light up at this unexpected change.

"What kind of flame is this? What a terrifying temperature!"

"If I'm not mistaken, this should be the Myriad Beast Fire, ranked thirty-fourth on the Spirit Fire List!"

"What, it's actually the Myriad Beast Fire? Then aren't we saved?"

"Look, Tian Linfeng is standing up!"
