"The stone slab is here. You can take it away if you defeat me," the black-robed man said as he slowly lifted his hood, revealing his original appearance.
"Instructor Li!" The four of them were shocked.
The black-robed man was the "Great Demon King", Li Lingxiu.
"Kids, we can leave after we kill him!" Huang Shaoyu became spirited and rubbed his palms together, glaring like a tiger watching its prey.
However, Yan Li stopped him and stared at Li Lingxiu with a burning gaze. "Why?"
"Why what?" Li Lingxiu said.
Yan Li said, "Why were you chosen to play the role of Sultan?"
"Sultan?" Lian Hai Changjin was startled. He immediately realized that this was probably the culprit behind the "destruction of the world."
"The Serene Garden's ability to create is limited," Li Lingxiu said indifferently.
Yan Li said, "Then what is the purpose of the Serene Garden's existence?"
Li Lingxiu said indifferently, "To let you learn to think."
"This is the result of thinking?" Yan Li pointed around him.
"I'm not Yu Shenji," Li Lingxiu said. "What you see is definitely yours. As for whether it's a prophecy or not, as cultivators, as people blessed by the heavens, you just have to watch quietly."
"Cut the crap!" Huang Shaoyu said impatiently. "We're already at the last hurdle. Can't we just finish it? How long do you want to waste time?"
"Then you go first," Yan Li said indifferently.
"Alright, don't blame me for stealing the credit!" Huang Shaoyu smiled excitedly. He immediately lowered his body and charged forward. His hands formed into claws and dragged behind him. During this process, his dragon-claw-like hands drew a blazing white line in the air, like white flames born from friction.
"Dark Dragon Claw!"
His figure suddenly changed unpredictably. It was almost impossible to catch his movements with the naked eye. No one knew from which direction he would attack.
Suddenly, a unique white flame appeared beside Li Lingxiu's ears. Although the white flame was burning, it did not make any sound, as if it did not exist at all.
The three were startled. If they did not see it with their eyes, they would not have sensed from which direction Huang Shaoyu would attack. Unless it was predicted in advance, it would be very difficult to deal with this move.
Li Lingxiu did not seem to sense it at all. His body did not move, and his eyes did not blink.
"Got it!" If he could defeat Instructor Li Lingxiu single-handedly, wouldn't he be stronger than all the students? This thought really made Huang Shaoyu's heart beat wildly, and his blood boiled. His dragon claw slashed toward Li Lingxiu's head.
If this slash were to land, the skull would definitely split open and brain matter would splatter everywhere.
At this moment, Li Lingxiu finally moved.
He reached for his hand and grabbed his sword.
At this critical moment, an alarm suddenly rang in Huang Shaoyu's mind. His many years of experience as a bandit made him withdraw his hand without hesitation. When he reappeared, he had already rolled at the feet of Yan Li and the others, spitting out a mouthful of blood with a "wa" sound.
Yan Li and the other two stared at Li Lingxiu.
They knew that although Li Lingxiu did not move, his sword had suddenly changed. This change was as absurd as a pen that you were used to suddenly growing limbs. His sword had changed just like that. Although it might not be more complete, it seemed that anyone who got close to him would feel a strong threat to their life.
Huang Shaoyu forcefully withstood the backlash of his ultimate skill and had to withdraw his hand. The three of them had experienced his recklessness before, so this was a clear indication of it.
"Don't come within three meters of him …" He said with difficulty.
"Spread out."
The three of them spread out and stood in a position, staring at Li Lingxiu.
Suddenly, the sword in Li Lingxiu's hand made an almost inaudible whistle.
Yan Li was shocked. This feeling was very familiar, but he could not tell why. The only thing he knew was that the sword in Li Lingxiu's hand was more dangerous.
The three of them looked at each other and did not dare to act rashly.
They did not move, but Li Lingxiu also did not move, as if he had made up his mind to wait for them to attack.
The more Yan Li waited, the more a strange panic rose in his heart.
"I can't wait any longer!" He raised his sword and slashed, creating a grass-green sword light with a strong hurricane.
This was a probing attack. He was trying to find the source of the panic.
Unexpectedly, before the sword light could touch Li Lingxiu, it was blocked by an invisible force.
However, after the sword light surged, a transparent aura could be vaguely seen within three meters of Li Lingxiu. It was the Law Domain.
Yan Li and Yu Qiuyu looked at each other, their hearts full of doubts. According to the oppressive feeling that Li Lingxiu gave them, his Law Domain should not be ordinary transparent. Was there something else?
With such thoughts in mind, the two of them drew their swords in tacit understanding. Two sword lights shot out one after another.
Given their strength, it was not difficult for them to break the Law Domain.
The sword lights tore open the Law Domain one after another, and then rushed into it. However, just as they were about to hit Li Lingxiu, the sword lights were blocked by an inexplicable force.
The three of them were startled because the sword in Li Lingxiu's hand made a sound again.
This time, the sound was so clear that it was impossible not to hear it.
After this sound, they felt their scalps go numb just by looking at the sword. That was not the only change. Although his transparent Law Domain was still transparent, it had an indescribable heaviness.
"Hidden Intent!" Yan Li suddenly murmured absentmindedly.
"What?" The other two were shocked.
"It's Hidden Intent!" Yan Li tightened his grip on the Leaving Cliff Sword.
He had already remembered that this feeling was precisely the method he used to deal with Jin Sheng when he was in the Flying Peng Fort.
Later, Liumu Bingjian told him that his technique, which was not a consummate skill, was called "Hidden Intent".
But he did not know that when the Lava Tribe of the Divine Land defeated Abagua, he finally gathered all the external forces into one, which was the most superficial use of "Hidden Intent". That was the first time he unconsciously used it, because "Hidden Intent" was not only a kind of gathering of beliefs, but also a way to vent one's emotions. However, in the hands of a real expert, it was completely invisible.
In the eyes of the world, "Hidden Intent" was a mysterious and mysterious thing. Let alone Lianhai Changjin, even a proper disciple of a famous sect like Yu Qiuyu might not have heard of it.
Of course, there was no time to explain at this time. Yan Li said directly, "The longer we delay, the more terrifying his strength will be. We can't wait any longer, and there are no more tricks to play. Use your strongest strength!"
Fortunately, after this mission, he had gained some foundation to convince others. When they heard his words, they mobilized the essential Qi in their bodies.
"I'll take the lead!" Huang Shaoyu, who had recovered, panted as he stood at the front. After calming down a little, he crossed his claws and roared, "Soaring Dragon!"
His body trembled violently as a large amount of essential Qi drilled out from his back, forming a pair of transparent wings. Then, he spread his wings and soared high into the air. During this process, his arms also expanded. With a low roar, he descended from the sky and slashed at Li Lingxiu's Law Domain with his claws.
The Law Domain rippled like a water mirror. Before he could react, he felt a huge force hit his chest and sent him flying. Although he was vomiting blood in the air, he could not help but shout proudly, "Quick … now!"
Lianhai Changjin smiled faintly and suddenly threw out the folding fan in his hand. It arrived in the sky above the Law Domain and drew in the various Qi.
Yu Qiuyu's right foot stomped the ground and he transformed into a bolt of lightning as he shot forward. Along the way, he swiftly unsheathed the Thirteen Obelisks and held it in his hand. Like a flying immortal, he passed through the gaps in the Law Domain.
Li Lingxiu's brows twitched slightly and he suddenly raised his sword.
This was the first time he had moved, but he still did not draw his sword.
The tip of Yu Qiuyu's sword touched his scabbard and essential Qi erupted like a mountain torrent. The two different forces clashed and destroyed everything in the surroundings, including the Law Domain.
But Li Lingxiu still did not draw his sword.
Yu Qiuyu's sword had reached its limit. He raised his eyebrows and reluctantly retreated.
Li Lingxiu's gaze fell on Yan Li. He finally slowly drew his sword.
As soon as his sword was drawn, the surrounding domain changed color. A gust of wind blew out of nowhere and turned the world ash-grey. His "intent" was completely unleashed.
Li Ya shook with a clang. This was the ninth "Hide Edge". Although the principles of the two were completely different, the process of accumulating power was quite similar.
However, "Hide Intent" was more passive, while "Hide Edge" was more active.
Nine "Hide Edge" was something Yan Li had never tried before. He felt as if Li Ya had a thousand catties of weight and let out an unbearable groan. As a Martial Grade Ranker, this was the limit of what it could do.
"Bear with it a bit more, put in more effort!" He encouraged Li Ya in his heart. His arm trembled as he circulated it for the tenth time.
At this moment, his face was completely pale. Large amounts of essential Qi were quickly consumed, causing him to feel dizzy as if he had lost too much blood. If it wasn't for the illusion, he definitely wouldn't dare to do such a suicidal act.
Clang!
The tenth sword hum was extremely bitter, as if it was weeping blood.
This was the end!
If he didn't release it, Yan Li suspected that he would be poked into a hornet's nest by the exploding Li Ya.
Clang!
A heavy and heavy sword hum resounded throughout the world. It was so heavy that it seemed as if a hole had suddenly been torn open in the sky.
Then, the deep jet-black sword light slowly charged into the ash-grey world.
Boom!
It was still a collision between energy. The entire world was occupied by that deep jet-black and ice-cold ash-grey. The two fought fiercely, mercilessly killing each other.
The other three people were dumbfounded by what they saw.
But before they could figure out what was going on, the earth suddenly collapsed downwards.
Including Yan Li, the four people felt as if they were falling endlessly. Just like before, it was as if they had been thrown into a prison.
"What the hell is going on?" Huang Shaoyu shouted angrily.
"Let's wait and see …" Yan Li said weakly.
