At this moment,
The entire world fell silent.
Time seemed to have been compressed by an unseen force, and no one could believe what they were witnessing.
Wasn't Ning Cheng from the Beast Control Sect a formidable opponent for Li Xun?
Everyone was aware that when dealing with individuals from the Beast Control Sect, it was unwise to engage in combat with their monsters. Li Xun had followed this strategy, but his own strength was simply too overwhelming.
With a single punch, he had sent Ning Cheng flying, leaving them uncertain whether he was alive or dead.
What would Ning Cheng be like without the assistance of his monsters?
Many dared not contemplate it any further. "One move! It really only took... one move!"
"This can't be real, it must be a mistake!" In a massive pit,
Ning Cheng lay there, experiencing pain all over his body. It felt as though every bone in his body had been shattered. His eyes were vacant as he mumbled to himself.
In his mind,
For no apparent reason, the instructions of the elder from that day resounded.
In the past, he had not believed that he wouldn't be able to withstand Li Xun's attack, but now, faced with the harsh reality, he had no choice but to accept it.
This was still the case even after releasing his monster beast. If he hadn't released it... the outcome would have been unimaginable. "Li Xun..."
Ning Cheng's voice was hoarse. Slowly, he climbed out of the pit. Beneath his tattered clothes, he wore a pair of shining, indestructible treasure armor.
This was a low-grade defensive spiritual treasure.
Fortunately, it had been there to shield him, absorbing 90% of Li Xun's power. Otherwise, Li Xun's punch would have turned him into a mist of blood. "I must admit, you're very strong, but it's unfortunate that you couldn't finish me off with that one punch. Now, you... don't stand a chance!"
Ning Cheng wiped the blood from the corner of his mouth.
He was now like a madman.
Extending his hand, he summoned the monster before him. It soared and landed on the monster's head. In that moment, their auras merged completely, causing the monster's strength to surge to a new level.
"Is this your confidence?"
Li Xun stood on the ground, surrounded by a golden aura that swirled like an ancient immortal king descended upon the world, showcasing his strength and dominance. "In my opinion, you're still too weak," he murmured. "Qiang!" A pitch-black halberd materialized in his hand. It was as heavy as a mountain, so heavy that the very air seemed to buckle under its weight. It was as black as night, swallowing people's thoughts like a black hole.
The azure dragon coiled around it, almost solidifying into a tangible force, making it difficult to breathe.
The moment it appeared, the ground beneath shattered.
Terrifying cracks radiated outwards from Li Xun, spreading uncontrollably in all directions.
Azure Dragon Halberd!
This top-tier spiritual treasure reemerged, resembling a bloodthirsty dragon. A blood-red aura enveloped it, as if countless creatures were struggling and wailing within it.
Its malevolent aura sent shivers down everyone's spine. If this halberd were to fall, those present believed it could shatter several mountains without even using any true energy! "An ultimate spiritual treasure!"
The man in green's eyes gleamed with intense greed, and his heart was consumed by it.
Indeed, he was the prince of Da Chu.
But there are too many princes in Da Chu. Even though the Da Chu dynasty is wealthy, it's impossible for everyone to possess a top-grade spiritual treasure. Even he only possesses a medium-grade spiritual treasure.
Although middle-grade spiritual treasures are precious, they still lag behind high-grade spiritual treasures in terms of value. The difference between the two is even more pronounced! "We must seize it!"
The man in Tsing Yi glanced at Li Xun, his mind racing with wild calculations. He signaled to the men beside him, indicating that if the opportunity arose, they should immediately attack Li Xun.
The three of them, along with Ning Cheng's restraint, might have a chance to strike him down!
The man in Tsing Yi had a different perspective.
The moment Ning Cheng saw the top-grade spiritual treasure in Li Xun's hand, he had a sinking feeling in his heart.
That black halberd exerted tremendous pressure on him.
Even the monsters beneath his feet began to grow restless.
"A low-grade defensive spiritual treasure, I wonder how long it can withstand the Azure Dragon Halberd," Li Xun remarked.
He swung the massive halberd with all his might, causing the black frenzy to resemble a surging Wang Yang, with thousands of turbulent waves. It emitted a destructive energy, akin to the awakening of a ferocious deity from the depths of hell.
"Boom!"
In an instant, the entire world shattered, like a tattered cloth fluttering in a strong wind. The Azure Dragon Halberd was indestructible and overwhelmingly powerful.
It no longer resembled a weapon but rather an ancient dragon that had suddenly appeared in the world, intent on annihilating everything.
"So powerful..."
Ning Cheng was stunned and quickly activated the monster beneath him, using its wings to create a barrier to fend off the Azure Dragon Halberd's assault...
The collision produced a resounding clash, and sparks flew as they shattered the surrounding darkness.
"You can't stop it!"
Li Xun's voice was cold, and he increased the force in his hand, slashing downwards once more.
"Stand tall—!"
In the darkness, a dragon's roar echoed, and the azure dragon coiled around the halberd seemed to come to life. It transformed into a colossal figure, opening its bloody maw and swallowing everything in its path.
"Crack!"
Beneath Ning Cheng's feet, the monster's wings shattered instantly, with large chunks of flesh and blood ripped from its enormous body. Blood sprayed into the sky like rain, covering an area hundreds of meters wide.
"No!"
Ning Cheng cried out, leaping into the sky atop his monster to evade the attack. However, the aftermath still caused him to spit out a mouthful of blood.
It was absolutely devastating.
Even supernatural realm monsters were unable to withstand the onslaught of Li Xun's halberd.
"Die!"
A cold shout rang out.
Li Xun swung his halberd, unleashing a surge of black energy that shot into the sky and instantly swallowed Ning Cheng in mid-air. This time, he wasn't as fortunate.
The low-grade spiritual treasure on his body lasted only a breath before it completely shattered.
There was no resisting a low-grade Lingbao.
In the blink of an eye, he turned into a cloud of blood mist.
"Ning Cheng is dead?"
Beside him,
The three men in green robes and Yao Feng from Spirit Sword Valley stared at the scene before them, unable to recover for a long while.
Many had speculated that there might be a battle between Li Xun and Ning Cheng once they entered the Yuanhuang Secret Realm.
But reality proved otherwise.
As soon as they clashed, it was a one-sided battle.
Even with Ning Cheng having obtained the blood of the ancient Qiongqi and his monsters breaking through the magical realm, they couldn't withstand more than a few rounds against Li Xun.
In the end, the Beast Control Sect was still on the wrong path.
No matter how powerful the monsters were, they were still external forces.
When faced with an overwhelmingly strong opponent, there was no way out but to await their demise.
"Gulping."
Behind the man in green, one of his subordinates swallowed hard and asked in a dry voice, "Your Highness... should we still take action?"
