178: Liu Xianyun! How long are you planning to keep watching this show?!

Shen Tianxing's behavior truly exemplified courting death to the extreme!

Everyone present felt that Shen Tianxing had truly gone mad!

But who knew the purpose behind Shen Tianxing doing this?

What benefit could infuriating a Half-step Celestial Phenomenon Realm expert bring to Shen Tianxing?

Mo Li even wondered if his admiration for him was due to being blind!

This was not at all like something a normal person would say; he was completely a fool eager to die!

"Those whom the heavens wish to destroy, they first make mad. It seems this saying is indeed true."

"Since you are so intent on seeking death, then I shall grant your wish!"

With that, Mo Li made his first true move!

He stretched out a hand, fingers splayed, as if heaven and earth were all under this one hand!

In the sky, a giant hand descended. Within its palm, lightning flashed, endless Dao Patterns intertwined, containing the power to destroy heaven and earth!

In an instant, this entire world seemed to be confined by an incomparably powerful force!

Where the palm covered, mountains, rivers, air, and dust were all in complete silence!

Under this hand, there was only life and death, illusion and destruction!

Even powerful figures like Xuanyuan Longcheng, Xing Yao, Situ Kuanglei, Xie Tianjian, and the many Old Eunuchs in the Soul Palace Realm could not move a single inch!

In a single thought, he controlled life and death!

It was like the difference between an ant and a human, with no power to resist!

Shen Tianxing also did not move.

However, it wasn't that he couldn't move!

After being enveloped by this incomparably powerful Dao Patterns, feeling the crisis of life and death, the soul slaying platform emitted a wisp of black profound light, having secretly unleashed its restraints!

Others didn't know, and neither did Mo Li, a Half-step Celestial Phenomenon Realm expert!

He wanted the world to know that even a Prodigy like Shen Tianxing was as insignificant as an ant before the mighty Holy Heaven Demon Sect!

If he wanted you to live, you would live!

If he wanted you to die, you would only have one path: death!

"Perish!!!"

Life and death hung in this instant!

Shen Tianxing still did not move; in fact, he stood tall and proud, his robes fluttering in the strong wind.

His face showed no fear, but his heart was racing!

Watching himself about to perish under this tribulation light, he felt for the first time that he was so close to death!

"Damn it!"

"One day, I will flatten your Holy Heaven Demon Sect!"

"This feeling of having my life and death controlled by others, I will never experience it again!"

"Liu Xianyun! How long are you going to watch the show?!"

The preceding words, Shen Tianxing said entirely to himself.

Only the last sentence did he blurt out.

In the face of life and death, all dignity is rubbish!

Staying alive is the most important thing!

Buzz!!!

No sooner had he spoken than a brilliant Sword Qi shot forth into the sky!

The sword light spanned three thousand zhang, a single sword strike severing the tribulation light!

Where the sword light passed, the magnificent and domineering palm print instantly shattered like broken glass, piece by piece!

Terrifying Sword Qi!

Mo Li's expression changed once again!

"Since Your Excellency has arrived, why not show yourself!"

Mo Li's voice carried a hint of apprehension!

That palm strike was merely a casual move from him; he hadn't even displayed his true strength!

With his cultivation at the Half-step Celestial Phenomenon Realm, he could destroy everyone here with a flick of his hand, without much effort at all!

However, anyone capable of blocking his move was certainly no ordinary person!

The first thing he thought of was still Dianxing Academy!

This time, it must have been someone from Dianxing Academy who made a move!

"Phew..."

"I bet correctly!"

Seeing this sword light, Shen Tianxing let out a sigh of relief!

That person had finally appeared.

As for everyone else, they had undoubtedly taken a walk before the gates of hell; surviving was an unexpected bonus!

"Are you so sure I would definitely intervene?"

"If I weren't here, or simply watched you get killed, wouldn't you have miscalculated?"

A crisp voice rang out, and at some point, not far from Shen Tianxing, a stunning woman appeared, holding a sword in one hand and a wine jar in the other!

This woman had a graceful figure, tall and curvaceous. Any man who glimpsed her would find it difficult to tear his eyes away.

Too beautiful!

Even describing her as having beauty that could topple nations could not fully capture her loveliness!

"Liu Xianyun! It's actually her!?"

Upon seeing the newcomer, the first to recognize her was naturally Shi Linglong, who had met her once before.

Having seen her the day before, she certainly wouldn't forget.

But what astonished her was that this impossibly beautiful woman actually possessed such unfathomable strength!

"It's her? That notorious drunkard in Pei Wang City!"

"How could it be her? She even relies on tricking people for money to buy wine; how could she have such terrifying strength!"

"Fortunately, I didn't flirt with her back then, otherwise wouldn't I end up like that fool from the Duan Family, not even knowing how I died?"

Many people in Pei Wang City had seen Liu Xianyun.

But in everyone's impression, this woman was too peculiar; she was always soaking in alcohol every day!

Her strength?

It seemed... as if... they had only witnessed her make a move once!

That one time, three Carefree Realm Cultivators from Prince Pei's Mansion were crippled by a single sword strike!

It was only at this moment that everyone realized this person was truly quite strong!

And it seemed... even stronger than they had imagined!

Shen Tianxing, upon hearing this, feigned wiping away non-existent cold sweat.

"I believe you wouldn't stand by and watch me die."

"People who love to drink all have one thing in common: generosity!"

"Though you are a woman, your generosity far surpasses that of many men!"

"Moreover, encountering an expert worthy of your intervention, you wouldn't be able to resist."

Flattery is always a safe bet.

For a woman like Liu Xianyun, traveling the world, was it merely for wine?

That was certainly impossible!

Wine was just one aspect!

She couldn't have achieved her current cultivation by drinking every day; after all, a beautiful woman like her was born to be a femme fatale, and trouble would definitely not be scarce.

Cultivation itself is a Heaven-Defying path; all opponents encountered are witnesses on the path of Dao!

A figure like Mo Li was, of course, no exception!

Shen Tianxing's words were naturally correct.

Moreover, Shen Tianxing didn't mention Liu Xianyun's promise to him at all, and his seemingly roguish words filled Liu Xianyun with goodwill towards him.

Liu Xianyun's face, flushed from wine, was slightly red, but her eyes were clear.

A hint of a smile appeared on her charming face, and she handed the wine jar in her hand to Shen Tianxing.

"You know how to talk!"

"Hold this wine jar for me; if you break it, you'll have to compensate me!"

He finally managed to trick her!

"Don't worry, once it's in my hands, it won't break!"

Shen Tianxing took the wine jar, then decisively retreated.

First, create some distance!

Having finally gotten Liu Xianyun to make a move, why would he not retreat quickly and instead stay to show off?

If you can win, you can show off however you like. If your strength allows it, even fighting everyone is fine, because you truly possess that strength.

But if you can't win, and you still insist on showing off!

That's courting death!

Just like he did just now, that was a typical example of courting death!

However, his main purpose was to provoke Liu Xianyun into action.

Although it was courting death, it was also seeking survival in death!

Now that his Karma was at Perfection, he naturally had to retreat quickly!

"This fellow is truly like a loach..."

Liu Xianyun glanced at Shen Tianxing, easily seeing through his thoughts, but she didn't mind.

Not to mention that she already owed Shen Tianxing a favor!

Even if she didn't know Shen Tianxing, she wouldn't have let Shen Tianxing die at Mo Li's hands just now!
