84: Fierce fighting

"Buzz~"

The longsword hummed softly, its blade emitting a strong, dim glow that formed a dark vortex, devouring all surrounding light.

Li Xiangyun held the sword high, a powerful, dim light flickering, and within the vortex, countless vengeful spirits and malevolent ghosts seemed to roar.

A suction force erupted, shattering the solidified space.

Then, Li Xiangyun brandished his sword, and a dark vortex shot towards the giant axe.

"Boom!"

A tremendous explosion echoed through the sky, and powerful energy swept in all directions.

After only a moment, Li Xiangyun was heavily struck down, creating a deep crater in the ground.

"Such powerful strength!"

Li Xiangyun stood up awkwardly in the ruins, his expression solemn as he looked at Wei Tiangang above.

In the brief moment of contact, Li Xiangyun felt an unprecedentedly powerful force, like a meteor impact, spreading through his entire body via the sword, unstoppable.

If Li Xiangyun had not cultivated Body Refining, he would have been severely injured by that blow.

Of course, Wei Tiangang was not feeling well either at this moment.

He let out a muffled groan, a trace of fresh blood seeping from the corner of his mouth.

His majestic face was slightly contorted.

"Divine Soul attack."

Wei Tiangang looked at Li Xiangyun below, his expression grim. At this point, how could he not know why Wu Ping lost his combat ability with just one strike? Clearly, his Divine Soul had suffered a severe blow.

"Good kid, quite interesting."

"Take another axe from me!"

With that, Wei Tiangang raised the Dragon Scale Sea Suppressing Axe high, then brought it down forcefully. In an instant, a colossal axe light transformed into a line between heaven and earth, heavily slashing towards Li Xiangyun.

At the same time, Wei Tiangang's left hand formed a void grip, and a terrifying gravitational force once again enveloped the area where Li Xiangyun was.

Thick Earth Dao Intent, gravity compression!

But Li Xiangyun, having already suffered once, how could he possibly resist head-on?

Thus, his figure flickered, transforming into a sword light and ascending into the air before the gravity arrived.

Immediately after, he opened his left hand, and a profound crystal ice bow quickly condensed in his hand. The crystal-clear ice bow was exquisitely beautiful, yet it shimmered with a chilling sharpness in the sunlight.

Then, Li Xiangyun looked at Wei Tiangang, his gaze sharp, as he drew the bow and nocked the sword.

In an instant, the longsword transformed into a dazzling sword light, shooting out at a speed that almost transcended time.

Its all-penetrating Sword Intent seemed to cleave the sky in two. At the same time, wherever the sword light passed, the sky seemed to freeze, leaving behind a brilliant ice trail, exceptionally beautiful.

The speed of the sword light was simply too fast. By the time Wei Tiangang reacted, the sword light had already reached him.

The bone-chilling cold and the biting Sword Intent made Wei Tiangang's hair stand on end. This Sect Master of the Spirit Beast Sect, over six hundred years old, felt the threat of death from an external enemy again after more than a century.

And the one who brought him this life-threatening danger was a Cultivator in the Mid-stage Golden Core, barely over two hundred years old. How absurd was this?

Without time to think further, Wei Tiangang quickly raised the Dragon Scale Sea Suppressing Axe to block in front of him.

The next second, the longsword struck the giant axe.

The clash of metal echoed through heaven and earth. Then, under the dumbfounded gazes of everyone, the esteemed Sect Master of the Spirit Beast Sect, a Golden Core Peak Cultivator, was sent flying backward like a kite with a broken string, crashing into a distant pavilion and raising a large cloud of dust.

"How can one person be so Heaven-Defying?"

This was the question in everyone's hearts at this moment.

If they could understand the previous defeat of Wu Ping with a single sword, after all, they were all in the same Realm, and it was normal for there to be differences in strength.

But this was Golden Core Peak!

This was Golden Core Peak, just one step away from achieving the Nascent Soul True Lord Realm!

Shouldn't this farce have ended with overwhelming force?

But what was happening now?

Compared to Li Xiangyun's Heaven-Defying combat power, Li Xingyan's previous three-year agreement seemed like child's play, not worth mentioning.

Filled with disbelief, everyone stared intently at the battlefield, fearing to miss even the slightest detail.

Even their previous sorrow was involuntarily cast aside.

Having succeeded with one strike, Li Xiangyun pressed his advantage.

His hands changed incantations, causing the weather to change. Countless Spiritual Qi gathered, and an ice mountain quickly condensed, then pressed down on Wei Tiangang like Mount Tai.

At this moment, the roles were reversed!

"Sect Master!"

The Elders of the Spirit Beast Sect's expressions changed drastically, but they were helpless.

However, as the Sect Master of the Spirit Beast Sect at the Golden Core Peak, how could Wei Tiangang be defeated so easily?

Crushing the giant wood pressing down on him, Wei Tiangang rose from the ruins.

Looking at the ice mountain descending from the sky, a hint of excitement flashed across Wei Tiangang's face, and Battle Intent surged in his eyes.

Suddenly, his figure shot up, his muscles bulging, tearing his upper garment. On his firm and powerful muscles, a faint yellow Dragon phantom shimmered, constantly moving as if alive.

"How many years has it been!"

Wei Tiangang clenched his fists, feeling the boiling blood within him, somewhat intoxicated.

Then, Wei Tiangang looked up at the ice mountain hurtling through the air, and with a disdainful expression, he once again raised the giant axe in his hand and lightly swung it.

In an instant, the ice mountain split into two halves and shattered with a roar.

Countless ice blocks, like giant mountains, scattered in all directions, crashing towards the surrounding crowd.

Fortunately, at the critical moment, the Elders of the Spirit Beast Sect intervened to intercept those ice blocks.

They were Golden Core Immortal Masters after all; although they couldn't withstand Li Xiangyun's full blow, they could still block mere aftershocks.

"Kid, you really like smashing people, don't you?"

"Then how about you try this move of mine..."

Wei Tiangang suddenly opened his eyes wide in anger and let out a loud roar.

But the scene remained silent.

However, Li Xiangyun still sensed an extremely terrifying energy approaching in the sky.

Immediately, a fierce gust of wind, carrying a wave of heat, rushed towards him.

What came into view was a gigantic meteor, enveloped in scorching flames, plummeting towards him.

"Holy shit!"

Li Xiangyun couldn't help but curse; this was actually a meteor.

At this, Li Xiangyun couldn't help but gasp.

In his previous life, Li Xiangyun had often heard news about meteors and shooting stars, but without a doubt, every large meteor was a disaster.

Yet, he never expected that one day he would face a meteor directly... But isn't this the wonder of Cultivation?

To think of things never thought possible, to experience dreams never before experienced!

A hint of excitement flashed in Li Xiangyun's eyes.

Then, he raised his sword and charged towards the meteor with a look of awe.

"Even if a fierce wind rises from the ground, I shall ride the wind and break through ten thousand li!"

"Hahaha~"

With that, Li Xiangyun laughed heartily as he collided with the meteor.

This left the onlookers in awe.

The next second, heaven and earth fell silent, and a dazzling white light flashed, causing everyone to instinctively close their eyes.

The imagined scene of flying debris did not occur.

When everyone opened their eyes, what greeted them was a strangely shaped ice sphere.
