Three questions?

Upon hearing Chen Xi's conditions, most people present were utterly baffled. Some with impure intentions began to speculate, could this young man be planning to ask Miss Su some private questions?

"Ridiculous! How can the Heavenly Dao Heart Oath be taken lightly? Miss Su's status is extremely noble. Do you think you can ask anything and she must answer? Your conditions are simply too outrageous!"

On the city wall, Cang Bin was suddenly furious. With his roar, an extremely terrifying aura filled the entire scene, like the most severe cold wave of winter suddenly descending.

Under this domineering and fierce pressure, everyone present changed their expressions drastically. Some with slightly weaker strength had their legs give out, falling to the ground, causing chaos on the scene.

Cang Bin's eyes were fixed on Chen Xi, filled with murderous intent.

"What, are you afraid?" Chen Xi, at the center of the storm, remained calm as ever, his voice steady and cold, devoid of any emotion.

These few words, devoid of any emotion, made Su Jiao feel an intense sense of ridicule from Chen Xi.

Su Jiao waved her hand to stop the almost berserk Cang Bin, her voice icy, "Fine, I agree to your terms, but in my view, this condition is destined not to be realized."

With that, she turned her gaze to Li Huai and said coldly, "Brother Li, this battle is entrusted to you. Don't let me down."

"He is bound to lose."

Li Huai smiled confidently, his brows filled with a cold and fierce aura. For him, if he won this battle, it would undoubtedly better win Su Jiao's heart. Therefore, he had decided that even if he had to risk his life, he would brutally trample Chen Xi!

"Qingxi, what is Chen Xi's cultivation level?" In the crowd, Duanmu Ze frowned and asked. Because of Song Lin's words, he had a new understanding of Chen Xi, and there was no longer any disdain in his tone.

Du Qingxi was taken aback, shook her head, and said, "I only know that he has a Xiantian realm cultivation level. As for his strength, I am not very clear."

"Xiantian realm? Then he is doomed, isn't he?"

Duanmu Ze himself was at the Zifu realm, and he was very familiar with the means of Zifu cultivators. In his view, even if Li Huai's cultivation was restricted to the peak Xiantian realm, Chen Xi would absolutely not be able to resist. This was a difference in realm, which could not be bridged.

"Who knows, Chen Xi is not a simple Xiantian realm cultivator. Let's wait and see." Song Lin smiled lightly, his gaze on Chen Xi carrying a hint of strange color.

Du Qingxi and Duanmu Ze both looked at Song Lin in surprise, seemingly not expecting Song Lin to have such a high evaluation of Chen Xi.

At this moment, no one in the crowd spoke, all holding their breath. Everyone knew that the upcoming battle was about to begin, and its significance was already vastly different.

Chen Xi stood still, his face expressionless.

If he hadn't spoken just now, people might have even suspected he was a dead man.

Chen Xi was trying to suppress the rage within him. His mind was unusually calm at this moment, a very strange state. His body, tempered to the Xiantian realm by the "Zhou Tian Xing Lu Duan Ti Zhi Shu," felt as if his blood, bones, and even every nerve were about to burn, carrying a strong desire.

A desire to unleash the fighting spirit that made him tremble and shudder!

He could clearly feel the divine soul power in his sea of consciousness, as if stimulated, raging wildly. His brain was like a piece of ice wrapped in a ball of fire, and everything within a hundred miles was reflected clearly in his eyes.

Du Qingxi suddenly noticed that Chen Xi's empty and indifferent eyes suddenly lit up, like a ray of sunlight piercing through the thick darkness before dawn. Then, it gradually brightened, and almost instantly, these light points gathered into a surging sea of fire in Chen Xi's eyes.

Boom!

The resentment and hatred that had been suppressed for over a decade were transformed into a heart-stirring fighting spirit, released without reservation. The astonishing aura centered on Chen Xi swept across the entire world!

At this moment, Chen Xi was like a sharp and exposed treasure sword, standing straight, piercing the sky.

Li Huai, standing opposite Chen Xi, his expression tightened. He could clearly feel the疯狂无比的战意 and the fearless and fierce aura emanating from Chen Xi!

Is this guy trying to fight to the death? Unfortunately, he's still too inexperienced...

Li Huai gripped the Pine Pattern Sword in his hand, his eyes flashing with a cold light. His long hair danced, and the air currents around him swirled, the air within three zhang instantly being disrupted by the terrifying aura emanating from him.

The fighting spirit was overwhelming, and the killing intent was rampant. The tension between the two was so intense that the air itself seemed to become heavy. The onlookers were all shocked, their eyes wide open, afraid to miss any detail.

Li Huai launched the first attack. With a light tap of his foot on the ground, the next moment, he suddenly appeared in mid-air. The Pine Pattern Sword in his hand created countless sword shadows, suddenly shooting down like an arrow!

Swoosh!

The sharp sword light tore through the air, producing a piercing and unpleasant whistling sound. The sound grew increasingly high-pitched, like the clear cry of a white crane.

"Pine Cloud Thousand Crane Spear!" A voice of surprise rang out in the crowd.

The Pine Cloud Thousand Crane Spear was one of the killing moves of the mid-grade martial technique, "Pine Crane Sword Canon." This move had already transcended basic martial techniques, reaching the Zhiwei level. Once unleashed, countless sword lights converged into one, slicing through the void with a sound like a tide, resembling the cries of a flock of cranes. Its speed and power were beyond imagination.

Generally, only Zifu cultivators capable of flying in the air could master its essence!

No one expected Li Huai to use such a killing move right from the start. While they were shocked, they couldn't help but worry about Chen Xi.

A Zhiwei-level sword technique, can this kid escape?

Chen Xi did not dodge. He raised his head, and the eyes filled with burning fighting spirit suddenly became clear and transparent, reflecting the entire battle situation.

The vast divine soul power, like the tentacles of an octopus, clearly captured all the changes in Li Huai's sword technique. Almost instantly, he spotted a flaw, and his eyes lit up.

The Chaotic Wind Sword Vortex!

Buzz!

The Qing Chong Sword moved at an astonishing frequency, drawing countless circular sword arcs in the air, ultimately forming a vortex of sword light.

The vortex spun wildly, shredding the air, producing a fine and dense explosion sound!

At this moment, Li Huai's sword, condensed with countless sword lights, pierced through the air.

This sword was one of Li Huai's killing moves. He was confident that even a Zifu cultivator of the same level would not dare to resist this sword. In his eyes, Chen Xi, who did not dodge or avoid, was undoubtedly courting death!

Swoosh, swoosh, swoosh...

However, what Li Huai did not expect was that his sword, condensed with countless sword lights, could not advance any further upon colliding with the sword vortex in front of Chen Xi. Then he saw the sword vortex in front of Chen Xi, formed by countless circular sword arcs, suddenly spin wildly, like a millstone, continuously weakening the impact force on his sword. The countless sword lights enveloping the sword tip melted away at a visible speed, like candles.

Sword qi forming a vortex? What kind of sword technique is this? Li Huai was startled and quickly withdrew his sword.

The attack disintegrated, and if he didn't withdraw, he would leave an opportunity for the enemy.

Boom!

However, at the moment Li Huai withdrew his sword, the sword vortex in front of Chen Xi suddenly paused and exploded with a loud bang.

The air currents on the battlefield shattered with a series of heavy explosions. The countless sword qi, formed by circular sword arcs, shot out like a meteor shower, rushing toward the retreating Li Huai!

Clang, clang, clang, clang...

Li Huai wielded the Pine Pattern Sword with such skill that not even a drop of water could penetrate, protecting his body from the overwhelming sword qi. Although he was not injured, the continuous impact of the sword qi forced him to retreat over ten zhang in a狼狈 manner.

"How is this possible? Li Huai's Pine Cloud Thousand Crane Spear was actually resisted by this kid!"

"When did the broom star become so powerful? That's a Zhiwei-level killing move. Could this kid have been hiding his strength all along?"

"Amazing! Li Huai originally planned to give Chen Xi a warning with one move, but unexpectedly, he was forced to retreat dozens of zhang by Chen Xi. This is a huge loss of face."

...

In one move, Chen Xi's combat strength, which exceeded expectations, left everyone present in disbelief. Their gazes toward Chen Xi were filled with confusion, surprise, bewilderment, and shock... They never expected this kid, who was supposed to be a sure loser, to burst with such fierce combat power.

"Is it... the Chaotic Wind Sword Technique?"

Duanmu Ze was a bit uncertain, as the move Chen Xi used resembled the Chaotic Wind Sword Technique, but its essence and power were on a higher level, clearly having the雏形 of a high-grade martial technique.

"I also think it looks like it." Du Qingxi, recalling the scene, felt extremely puzzled.

The two did not know that after Chen Xi bought the jade slip of the "Chaotic Wind Sword Technique," it was refined by Ji Yu, not only transforming it but also making the moves more concise and direct, with the power increasing exponentially.

"He has cultivated the 'Chaotic Wind Sword Technique' differently from the one on the market. It must have been personally refined by a high-level expert. Although the moves are different, the essence is more refined and profound, extremely remarkable."

Song Lin's eyes were bright, exclaiming, "I wonder who that high-level expert is. The ability to transform the mundane into the extraordinary is probably only within the reach of a Dao Realm extraordinary being."

Upon hearing this, Du Qingxi and Duanmu Ze exchanged glances, both feeling somewhat incredulous. Could there be a powerful expert standing behind Chen Xi?

"Li Huai's sword technique has reached the Zhiwei level, yet he was forced to retreat in a狼狈 manner by Chen Xi, that waste. Brother Cang, can you see the subtleties?"

On the city wall, Su Jiao's face was cold, feeling both surprised by Chen Xi's combat strength and a bit angry at Li Huai's abnormal performance.

"Li Huai was careless. That kid's sword technique has also reached the Zhiwei level, and his sword momentum is no weaker than Li Huai's. Caught off guard, he was forced into such a狼狈 situation."

Cang Bin paused for a moment and continued, "However, we don't need to worry. Although the advantages of the Zifu realm cannot be fully utilized in the Southern Barbarian Netherworld, in terms of true essence, magical treasures, and equipment, that kid is far from being able to resist."

Su Jiao nodded and said no more.

"It seems I underestimated you." Li Huai steadied his feet, coldly staring at Chen Xi, who was over ten zhang away. Being forced to retreat by a waste from a declining family in one move made the proud and self-important Li Huai feel a great sense of humiliation.

Hearing the whispers around him, his face grew even colder and more gloomy, and a surge of anger rose in his chest. His aura intensified once more!

The sword hummed like a howl!

Li Huai, with his true essence surging, released his killing intent without reservation, "Next, I will use my sword to prove just how great the gap between us is!"
