After entering Brilliant Sky Sacred Land, Qin Yichen had originally intended to maintain a low profile. However, with such a battle-obsessed Li Yuanba at his side, no matter how low-key he tried to be, avoiding attention would be difficult…
He could only hope Li Yuanba would resolve whatever troubles his behaviour stirred up, sparing Qin Yichen from being dragged into the mess.
After all, in Qin Yichen’s very bones lay a preference for resolving matters without resorting to violence. For him, that would be ideal. He was a dignified Alchemist, after all!
[Hmmm… Well, I’m nothing like that brute, Li Yuanba!] Thinking this, Qin Yichen nodded with satisfaction. [Yes, I am just a simple and pure Alchemist.]
Although his physical body was not inferior to Li Yuanba’s, and after cultivating the Supreme Tyrant Body had become even more formidable than the latter’s, this still could not change his noble identity as that of an Alchemist.
“Weren’t you quite resistant to beatings? Try receiving another one of my techniques!” Yi Buzui’s eyes suddenly sharpened with razor-like intensity. He shouted coldly, and the Blazing Eagle behind him flapped its wings. Subsequently, his body gradually merged into the Blazing Eagle’s form.
As Yi Buzui’s body merged completely, crimson radiance spread outward. Immediately after, that massive Blazing Eagle’s wings suddenly expanded. As they beat rhythmically, countless feathers filled with scorching heat and piercing sharpness materialised before its wings.
With the appearance of those innumerable crimson feathers, the World Energy surrounding Yi Buzui became extraordinarily violent. Everyone could sense precisely how terrifying his forthcoming assault would be!
“Ten Thousand Flaming Sword Feathers!”
The next moment, the Blazing Eagle’s piercing eyes locked onto Li Yuanba’s body. Subsequently, its thunderous roar erupted forth.
*Swoosh! Swoosh! Swoosh!* As that roar’s echo faded, the Blazing Eagle’s massive wings beat fiercely. Immediately, those countless crimson rays filled with scorching heat and piercing sharpness whistled forth. Accompanied by successive sharp sounds of tearing air, they resembled a sky-filling rain of fire, shooting violently toward Li Yuanba.
This spectacle caused numerous Outer Disciples’ expressions to tighten. Although Yi Buzui’s conduct was somewhat contemptible, the formidable nature of his strength remained an indisputable fact!
As for the several newcomers who had entered together, their expressions became gravely serious without exception. Under such an assault, even exerting every means at their disposal, they would likely struggle to protect themselves!
Under the observation of those countless gazes, Li Yuanba’s face still showed not the slightest trace of fear. On the contrary, an expression of excitement blazed forth from his eyes.
*Ding! Ding!*
That fire-rain-like assault, carrying piercing sharpness, slammed ruthlessly against Li Yuanba’s surroundings. Continuous crisp ringing sounds arose without cease.
Within the desert-like environment of this duelling platform, dust immediately churned violently. Vaguely, one could observe Li Yuanba’s figure being continuously forced backward by this ferocious assault!
“Let’s see how long you can endure!” Before one wave of assault had fully concluded, Yi Buzui’s sinister voice gradually arose. Immediately after, as the Blazing Eagle’s wings beat, crimson Yuan Energy surged violently, and countless sword feathers condensed anew.
Wave after wave of assaults descended like torrential rain. At this moment, Li Yuanba’s figure had already retreated to the opposite side of the duelling platform. If he retreated approximately another ten metres, he would be forcibly blasted off the platform by this relentless offensive!
“Senior Brother Yi Buzui is indeed formidable. At a glance, he identified that brute’s weakness!”
“In merely the time required to brew tea, that brute will be blasted off the duelling platform by Senior Brother Yi!”
Seeing victory within reach, the several Outer Disciples accompanying Yi Buzui all chuckled lightly.
Observing the continuously retreating Li Yuanba, Qin Yichen immediately felt his head throb. Finally, when the Li Yuanba stood merely a metre away from the platform’s edge, he could not restrain himself from calling out.
“Hey, Li Yuanba! If you retreat any further, we won’t have anywhere to live!”
Were this taking place outside, Qin Yichen would not bother managing Li Yuanba’s perverted enjoyment. In truth, for someone like Li Yuanba, Yi Buzui’s assault just meant an opportunity for him to temper himself.
However, the rules here dictated that being blasted from the duelling platform meant defeat. When that happened and Li Yuanba had lost all his Contribution Points, whom would they cry to!?
As though hearing Qin Yichen’s reminder, that towering figure which had continuously endured the fire-rain assault halted at barely one metre from the platform’s edge.
Immediately after, his left hand swept horizontally, and a massive hammer positioned itself before him, deflecting that assault entirely. Although the offensive remained violent, Li Yuanba’s form retreated no further!
“What!?”
Witnessing this scene, everyone outside the duelling platform stood with their jaws wide open, one after another.
[He can so easily withstand that assault? Then his previous retreat… all of that was a performance!?]
“You bastard!” Yi Buzui within the Blazing Eagle clearly also sensed something amiss. Observing Li Yuanba withstanding his assault without retreating a single step, evidently not particularly strained, the realisation struck.
At that moment, Yi Buzui seemed to feel waves of burning heat across his cheeks. He had once again been toyed with by this brute!
“Ten Thousand Feathers Unite! Get off!”
Yi Buzui’s furious roar resonated from within the Blazing Eagle. Immediately after, crimson radiance blazed intensely, and subsequently, a crimson light pillar over ten metres in diameter blasted violently from the Blazing Eagle’s mouth.
*Boom!* The crimson light pillar penetrated the sky. Wherever it passed, the desert below was carved into a massive trench. Subsequently, carrying extremely concentrated Yuan Energy, under numerous observing gazes, it slammed ruthlessly toward that figure standing merely one metre from the platform’s edge.
No one doubted this assault’s power. Even if Li Yuanba’s previous performance had been impressive, under this full-strength strike of Yi Buzui, if not severely injured, being blasted from the duelling platform was inevitable!
“The one getting off isn’t me…” At that moment, Li Yuanba’s voice gradually arose. Immediately after, one hand positioned horizontally before his chest while his other hand gripped the massive hammer, pulling it fiercely backward.
“Overlord Hammer!” A furious roar, like exploding thunder, resonated explosively. Immediately after, from within Li Yuanba’s arm, sounds resembling rolling thunder arose.
Subsequently, his arm swung violently, and the massive hammer in his hand transformed into a meteor-like projectile, releasing from his grip.
*Crash!* Under this hammer strike, those crimson sword feathers, which had not yet completely descended, were now swept aside entirely. Subsequently, the meteor-like massive hammer directly met that crimson light pillar over ten metres in diameter!
*Boom!*
The moment they collided, an ear-splitting sound resonated explosively. Immediately after, under countless horrified gazes, that crimson light pillar began dimming at an astonishing rate!
