Chapter 56

Third update! Before I go to sleep, could you please favorite, vote, and support me? Thanks!

"Li Song, Li Kuo, Li Hong, you three just watch from the side. Today, I will personally turn this brat into a pile of mush!"

Li Huai waved his hand, instructing the three Li clan disciples beside him. Then, he held the Pine Pattern Sword, his eyes flashing with a fierce light, and his powerful aura firmly locked onto Chen Xi.

Chen Xi no longer spoke. He stomped his foot on the ground, and his body shot forward like an arrow, rushing toward Li Huai.

Rip! Rip!

As he ran, his body actually tore a long air wave through the air. The air wave surged, crackling like a river, creating a shocking momentum.

At the base of the array in the abyss, after using the Profound Yin Qi to enhance his body to the peak of the innate realm, Chen Xi's body was like a precious sword that had been forged in a furnace a million times. His blood and qi were like a rainbow, his tendons and bones like jade, and there was not a single impurity left in his body. When he ran, he was as light as a swallow, and with the assistance of the Eight Steps of the Heavenly Dragon, his speed had increased by at least twenty percent compared to before!

Boom!

The void trembled as a fist enveloped in terrifying power smashed toward Li Huai's face, using the same move as when they fought in Bloodshed City.

"Still this move... Hmph, you underestimate me, Li Huai!" With a loud shout, Li Huai's body was suddenly enveloped in a thick true essence, and he shot into the air.

Bang!

The punch missed, and the powerful true essence current slammed into the spirit field, plowing a deep furrow like an iron plow, sending soil flying in all directions.

"Ha ha, cultivators at the Purple Mansion realm can fly through the air, you fool!" Li Huai laughed wildly in the air.

While Li Huai was speaking, Chen Xi did not stop but charged toward the three young men on the side.

Bang! Bang! Bang!

One of the Li clan disciples was caught off guard and was directly smashed in the head, falling dead on the spot. The other two blocked with their arms, narrowly escaping, but their arms were shattered like they had been hit by a ten-thousand-pound hammer. The terrifying force from Chen Xi's punch made them spit out blood and fly back dozens of feet, unable to get up again.

The Divine and Demonic Body Cultivation School was a terrifying existence that could crush all Qi Cultivation Schools at the same level. Now that Chen Xi's body had reached the peak of the innate realm, it could rival ordinary entry-level magical treasures. His strength was immense, and his tendons and bones were robust. Relying solely on his physical strength, he could easily slaughter these three Li clan disciples, who were only at the innate realm.

"Looking for death!" Li Huai's face turned pale. He was in the air, but his Pine Pattern Sword turned into a streak of green light, slashing fiercely toward Chen Xi, a technique that only cultivators at the Purple Mansion realm could master.

Whoosh!

The Pine Pattern Sword moved as fast as lightning, its terrifying force tearing through the air, causing the surrounding spiritual energy to scatter explosively.

Chen Xi was secretly alarmed and had no time to dodge. He swung his fist toward the flying sword, but the sword suddenly changed direction in mid-air, drawing an arc and swiftly sliding past Chen Xi's ribs.

Rip!

His clothes tore, and a shallow bloodstain appeared on his body, which was as hard as copper and iron. Even so, Chen Xi was drenched in cold sweat.

"How is this possible! My Pine Pattern Sword is a low-grade yellow magical treasure, how could it not hurt this guy?" In the air, Li Huai was stunned, his face turning grim.

"Get down here!"

Though he was not injured, Chen Xi was enraged. A vast amount of true essence poured into his arms, and he unleashed hundreds of punches in an instant. Transparent fists, like solid objects, flew out of his hands!

These transparent fists were like crystal, clear and bright, formed by compressing true essence. Chen Xi used the third level of the Great Collapse Fist, 'Crushing Stones to Powder,' to launch them, making them look like meteor showers in the sky, creating a shocking momentum.

"Hmph, just externalizing true essence, it won't do anything to me!" Li Huai sneered, and the Pine Pattern Sword around his body suddenly slashed out hundreds of sharp sword beams, cutting toward the transparent fists.

Bang!

A transparent fist shattered the sword beam, its momentum undiminished, and continued to rush toward Li Huai.

"Bad! How could I forget, this brat's fist technique has reached the realm of unity with heaven and earth, allowing him to borrow the power of heaven and earth, greatly increasing his strength..."

Li Huai was stunned, suddenly remembering the scene when he fought Chen Xi in Bloodshed City, his face changing drastically!

Bang! Bang! Bang! Bang! ...

Countless transparent fists, like a fisherman's net, crushed the hundreds of sword beams, surrounding Li Huai in the center!

"Damn!"

One wrong move, and he had lost the initiative. Li Huai gritted his teeth, gathered all his true essence, and grabbed the Pine Pattern Sword. The sword shadow flickered like rolling waves, forming a watertight defense around his body. At the same time, he rushed away, trying to escape the surrounding transparent fists.

Boom!

A transparent fist hit the sword shadow around Li Huai's body, releasing the terrifying true essence it contained, directly sending Li Huai flying.

Boom! Boom! Boom! ...

Before Li Huai could catch his breath, several more fists exploded around his body, sending him flying dozens of feet away, his body swaying, almost falling to the ground.

At this moment, Li Huai's hair was disheveled, his clothes tattered, and his exposed skin was scorched black. He looked extremely wretched. He no longer dared to be arrogant and landed, escaping the surrounding transparent fists.

This... This can't be real. This brat is only at the innate realm, and he's fighting bare-handed. How can he be so powerful?

Li Huai looked at Chen Xi in disbelief, unable to imagine that everything that just happened was caused by this guy, whom he had always called a waste.

When he lost to Chen Xi outside Bloodshed City, he always thought it was because his cultivation was restricted, giving Chen Xi a chance. But now, after displaying his Purple Mansion realm cultivation, he was forced down from the air by Chen Xi. This situation was something he could not accept!

How could this be?

Is this brat a hidden expert, always pretending to be weak?

While Li Huai's thoughts raced, Chen Xi also re-evaluated his own strength. Only now did he realize that with his peak innate realm body and cultivation, as well as the Great Collapse Fist at the realm of unity with heaven and earth, he had the ability to fight against cultivators at the Purple Mansion realm!

However, Li Huai had clearly just advanced to the Purple Mansion realm, and his combat experience was even less than Chen Xi's. That's why Chen Xi was able to seize the initiative and force him to land from the air... From this, it seemed that he could only fight against some inexperienced cultivators at the initial Purple Mansion realm.

As for the more powerful ones, if he encountered them in the future, he would have to be cautious.

Realizing this, Chen Xi no longer hesitated and launched another attack. His fists rained down like rain, not giving Li Huai any chance to fly away again.

The situation began to turn against Li Huai.

He had already lost some of his fighting spirit due to Chen Xi's earlier attacks. Now, Chen Xi pressed him down to the ground, putting him in a completely passive defensive position.

However, Chen Xi could not resolve the situation in a short time. Li Huai wielded the Pine Pattern Sword so tightly that it formed a watertight defense around his body, like a turtle that refused to stick its head out.

Rip! Rip! Rip!

His muscles, glowing with a jade-like luster, bulged and rippled rhythmically, his blood and qi burning, creating a series of explosive sounds.

Li Huai's appearance, being passively hit, was like a training dummy. This reminded Chen Xi of a good idea. He decided to use Li Huai to test the strength of his body, no longer using true essence, but purely relying on physical strength.

Bang! Bang! Bang!

Chen Xi had already confirmed that Li Huai's Pine Pattern Sword could not injure his tendons and bones. Now, he unleashed his fist technique without any hesitation, each punch making the Pine Pattern Sword tremble and ring.

What a thrill!

The way of body cultivation made Chen Xi's blood boil. Without relying on external objects, only using his own pair of iron-like fists and a body as hard as copper and iron, combined with combat skills honed through life-and-death battles, he could force his opponent to only defend. This feeling was simply captivating and irresistible.

Li Huai did not realize that he had become Chen Xi's training dummy for testing his physical strength. However, he was also not paying attention to this at the moment.

His mind was completely overwhelmed by a great fear, desperately resisting the increasingly fierce Chen Xi while thinking of ways to escape.

By this point in the battle, his fighting spirit had been completely drained. He no longer wanted to tangle with this freak, Chen Xi. He even suspected that if this continued, he would be exhausted to death by Chen Xi.

What to do?

Should he admit defeat and beg for mercy?

No, even if I admit defeat, this guy probably won't let me off. After all, my clan's cultivators killed his grandfather, and this enmity is irreconcilable. He will never forgive me...

But, besides admitting defeat, is there any other way to save my life?

Li Huai felt the true essence in his dantian becoming thin, as if the steps of death were quietly approaching. For a moment, he was anxious and his expression showed a brief moment of confusion.

At this moment, Chen Xi suddenly saw an opportunity and seized it. He stepped forward, his right fist like a whip, passing through the gaps in the sword shadow, and with a bang, it hit Li Huai's chest.

Crack! Crack!

A bone-chilling sound of bones breaking echoed, and a hole appeared in Li Huai's chest. The terrifying force from the fist instantly shattered the bones in his chest, and his internal organs were torn into countless pieces.

Spit!

Li Huai spat out a mouthful of thick, dark red blood, his face instantly turning as pale as paper. His eyes looked at Chen Xi with a mix of shock, resentment, and bewilderment.

"Never... thought... you, a broom star... would... become so powerful... truly... ironic!"

Li Huai spoke in a broken voice. As soon as he finished, his head tilted to the side, and he died on the spot.

"I originally planned to kill all the members of your Li clan in front of you in the future. Now, I guess you got off easy."

Chen Xi muttered to himself, picked up the Pine Pattern Sword still clutched in Li Huai's hand, and without looking at the corpse, turned and walked toward the Golden Spirit Lotus.
