Chapter 97 That Dead Man

Li Jue is utterly arrogant and disdainful of everyone!

"Looks like another battle of geniuses is about to break out!"

"Within the Li family, there seems to be considerable dislike for the Abyss Realm. It is said that Li Jue's father, Li Daoling, was imprisoned and tortured within the family after making a trip to the Abyss Realm..."

"Yes, that's true. I heard that Li Daoling missed out on a genius in the Abyss Realm and was punished for it... Naturally, Li Jue wouldn't have any good feelings towards people from the Abyss Realm!"

There have been too many battles of geniuses taking place in Sin State lately.

Even without any grudges, they would still fight each other. Moreover, Li Jue was hostile to people from the Abyss Realm, so it was only natural that he would take the initiative to provoke and cause trouble.

"How dare you! So arrogant! Do you really think the Li family is invincible and can do whatever you want?!"

Jian Yingzhou spoke in a deep voice, for Li Jue's words had insulted his sister, and he could not tolerate it!

"I wouldn't call myself invincible, but what does it matter if I do whatever I want in front of you maggots from the Abyss?"

Li Jue was indifferent.

"very good--"

Jian Yingzhou's face was cold. In an instant, his sword was drawn, turning into a streak of cold light, and directly stabbed towards Li Jue!

His speed was extremely fast, and the sword light resembled countless points of cold light, extremely sharp.

Li Jue sneered and gracefully retreated. The two of them rushed out of the window to avoid shattering the entire restaurant.

They were already in mid-air when Li Jue waved his hand, and a hand seal appeared in his hand. He directly suppressed Jian Yingzhou, drawing out endless halos of light, which were extremely dazzling.

Jian Yingzhou unleashed a single sword strike, transforming it into an endless rainbow that shattered all of the opponent's spells, its sword energy shaking the heavens.

This battle immediately attracted the attention of everyone in the city.

"A Battle of Geniuses!"

"The fluctuations are very strong!"

"It's the Li family's technique! Could it be Li Hao who made the move? And his opponent is a genius from the Sword Sect!"

The world took notice.

Inside the restaurant.

Shi Zhong, Shi Hao, Shangguan Xiaoxiao, Ku Jue, and others, as well as Li Lan in the corner, were all watching.

The battle grew increasingly fierce, with both sides exchanging blows. Jian Yingzhou was like an unparalleled sword immortal, his sword flashing and graceful as a god, his sword intent overflowing.

Li Jue continuously formed hand seals, unleashing one magical seal after another to block Jian Yingzhou's sword energy, resulting in a back-and-forth exchange.

"Is that all you've got? You dare to be so arrogant?"

Jian Yingzhou let out a cold shout, and suddenly, he clasped his hands together, abruptly closed his eyes, and unleashed a torrent of sword energy. His entire being seemed to merge with the sword, and like a shooting star, he streaked through the air—

"Comet strikes the moon!"

"One of the Sword Sect's ultimate techniques!"

"This person's swordsmanship is quite impressive!"

Everyone was shocked and spoke up!

With the infusion of sword energy, Jian Yingzhou's speed increased tenfold, instantly breaking through Li Jue's layers of magical barriers and arriving in front of Li Jue.

This sword energy is truly extremely powerful!

In the restaurant, Jian Yinyue nodded as well. He was well aware of his brother's skill level; this sword was enough to pose a threat to a Nascent Soul stage expert!

This strike could decide the outcome!

However, Li Jue sneered, suddenly raised his foot, and then stomped down hard!

"not good!"

"Brother Yingzhou, be careful!"

The Shi brothers, Shi Zhong and Shi Hao, suddenly spoke up in shock!

But their warning was too late; a deafening roar, like thunder from the heavens, followed!

Li Jue seemed to be emanating the roar of dragons and the howl of tigers. A pale yellow dragon aura flashed by, and with one kick, the countless powerful sword energies were actually shattered. The comet-like sword, Jian Yingzhou, was sent flying backward, as if it had become a weightless meteorite, crashing heavily to the ground!

boom!

Sword Reflecting the Day smashed a large crater in the city, sending dust and smoke flying everywhere.

"elder brother!"

Jian Yinyue was shocked and furious. She rushed out and picked up Shi Zhong, only to see Jian Yingzhou spitting out blood, his face pale, and his sword-wielding hand covered in bloodstains. He was seriously injured!

"What kind of footwork is this...?"

"How domineering!"

"Why does it feel... somewhat like that legendary martial arts technique?"

The cultivators who had been watching the battle from all sides began to speak up.

"Brother Li, it seems that your Li family's research on the True Dragon Technique has finally yielded some results. If I'm not mistaken, this technique should be a derivative of the True Dragon Technique, possessing about 60-70% of the power of the True Dragon Technique, right?"

Inside the private room, a young man suddenly spoke solemnly. His name was Zhu Jiubian, and he was one of the direct descendants of the Zhu family. He had noticed something amiss.

Li Jue lightly patted the dust off his body and smiled, "Brother Zhan has keen insight. This skill is the Heavenly Dragon Skill created by our clan's elders based on the True Dragon Skill, but its power is only about 30 to 40% of the True Dragon Skill!"

Upon hearing this, everyone present changed their expressions drastically. Who did not know the name of the True Dragon Skill? The fact that the Li family could create the Heavenly Dragon Skill from it was truly astonishing.

No wonder the younger generation of the Li family is so powerful!

Li Jue turned around, glanced at the ascetic monks and the others, and said with a smile, "Is there anyone else who is not convinced?"

"I've come to fight you—"

Jian Yinyue gritted her teeth and was about to rush forward, but Jian Yingzhou grabbed her and shook his head sadly: "Yinyue...you are no match for him!"

Sword Hidden Moon was filled with grief and indignation!

"Don't be sad, young lady. Your brother won't die... As long as you keep me company tonight, I'll give him a chance to become my follower. What do you say?"

Li Jue laughed heartily, his arrogance unrestrained: "People say that many geniuses have ascended to the Abyss Realm, but seeing them today, they are nothing but chickens and dogs!"

"You maggots from the abyss are nothing but trash. You should go back to your barren land. There is no place for you to live in the Immortal Realm!"

He was filled with immense pleasure!

Back then, his father, Li Daoling, personally went to the Abyss Realm, but he did not bring back any successor of Li Qinghong's lineage.

That's not all; what's worse, that guy actually has a True Dragon Body and has mastered the True Dragon Technique to a very high level.

This angered some of the elders in the clan, who imprisoned and tortured his father.

What kind of genius is an ant from the Abyss Realm? Why was his father punished for it?

Every time he trampled the people of the Abyss under his feet, he could feel his hatred being vented slightly.

Upon hearing this, Kujue said calmly, "This benefactor, you flatter me!"

"Though the Abyss Realm is impoverished, the beings within must not be insulted!"

As soon as he finished speaking, he suddenly pointed forward with a finger, and golden lotuses bloomed from his fingertip and finally drifted down to Li Jue!

Li Jue sneered and activated the Heavenly Dragon Skill again, but suddenly a voice rang out: "Li Jue, you are no match for this high monk! Step back!"

Upon hearing this, Li Jue's expression changed drastically, but he hesitated for a moment. He still used the Heavenly Dragon Technique to suppress the lotus flower. Under the suppression of his Heavenly Dragon Qi, the lotus flower indeed disappeared instantly.

But in the next moment, a blood-red lotus flower suddenly bloomed on his chest!

Bang!

The once arrogant Li Jue was now flying backward, spitting out a mouthful of blood and letting out a miserable scream!

At the same time, Qin Yuan and the others in the private room rushed out to catch Li Jue and injected their spiritual energy to help Li Jue resist his injuries!

"What? Li Jue lost?"

"What is the background of this monk?"

"With a flick of the finger, the Buddha vanishes—this is the true teaching of that old monk from Duyi Temple! That old monk actually has a successor?!"

For a moment, everyone in the room gasped in surprise.

Duyi Temple is also one of the super powers in the Northern Frontier.

The "old monk" mentioned by everyone is a legendary figure from Duyi Temple. It is said that the old monk once committed countless atrocities, leaving behind mountains of corpses and seas of blood. In the end, when he was besieged by many masters, he actually realized the true Dharma of Buddhism and became a high monk.

The phrase "the Buddha disappears with a flick of the finger" is one of the old monk's signature skills.

"So strong!"

"With such skill, he must have already reached the Nascent Soul realm!"

Even Jian Yingzhou, Shi Hao, and the others had very solemn expressions.

In the corner, Li Lan couldn't help but nod. Back in Dali, he felt that the monk Kujue was a genius unlike any other. Now in the Immortal Realm, he had even distanced himself from the Sun and Moon Twin Swords, Shi Zhong, Shi Hao, and others.

Very impressive!

“This gesture is to warn the benefactor against the sin of arrogance.”

The monk Kujue spoke calmly.

"Good monk, that finger strike was truly brilliant."

Shangguan Xiaoxiao also gave a compliment.

"I have made a fool of myself in front of Benefactor Shangguan."

The monk sighed, "Actually, my finger strike wasn't strong enough. If his Heavenly Dragon Skill had even a third of the true essence of the True Dragon Skill of National Preceptor Li Lan back then, I wouldn't have been able to hurt him!"

Qin Yuan, Zhu Jiubian, and the others all looked grim. Qin Yuan coldly said, "I'll fight you!"

Since Li Jue has lost, let's replace him with someone else!

"You are no match for him either, there's no need,"

At this moment, a voice entered the arena. It was the same person who had just reminded Li Jue to retreat. He floated over, dressed in green, standing with his hands behind his back, exuding an aura of dominance and a natural sense of superiority, as if he were born to be a superior.

"Li Hao!"

"It's Li Hao!"

"He's here!"

Everyone was instantly taken aback.

Li Hao, the number one genius of the Li family, is definitely the most famous person in recent times, and has never been defeated among his peers!

In fact, many people believe that he is the strongest contender for the Dao Yuan Grass this time!

He's actually shown up now!

"As expected of the successor of Master Tu Jin of Du Yi Temple, you live up to your reputation. You must be the strongest among those who ascended from the Abyss Realm, right?"

Li Hao glanced at Ku Jue indifferently and said, "It seems that only by defeating you can these ants from the Abyss Realm truly submit... Make your move!"

The implication was that he was ready to stand up for his cousin Li Jue and fight Ku Jue!

Kujue looked at Li Hao for a long time, then shook his head: "Benefactor, your skills have reached a high level. This humble monk is no match for you now."

We admit defeat!

"However, you are mistaken about one thing. Kujue is by no means the strongest among the people of the Abyss Realm. Among the people of the Abyss Realm, there are at least four who can defeat you—"

Suffering is neither humble nor arrogant; it is simply stating a fact.

Li Hao's face held a mocking expression: "Oh? Who is it?"

"The number one person, Li Yue, is a descendant of the true dragon and the king of humanity. He is far superior to the Heavenly Dragon Technique."

Li Hao shook his head: "Humanity relies on external things instead of seeking its own strength, which is already a low level. I can defeat them all within three hundred moves!"

Kujue did not refute, and continued, "The second person is Lin Ruobing, who possesses the Taiyin Body, a rare find in ten thousand years. His cultivation is so strong that he is the most respected among his generation."

Upon hearing this name, Li Hao paused for a moment, which was uncharacteristic of him, before nodding: "She can fight me!"

Upon hearing this, everyone around changed their expressions.

Li Hao was incredibly powerful, with few rivals in the Sinful Prefecture. Even a figure like the monk Kujue admitted that he was no match for him. But now, he actually admitted... there was one person who could fight him.

"Who is this Lin Ruobing?"

Why have we never heard of her name?

"The Yin Body... Has such a constitution actually appeared in the world?"

The world was shocked.
