Jiang Li's eyes narrowed, and his steps changed nimbly. His figure flashed sideways like lightning and easily dodged the attack.
"Is that all you've got?" Jiang Li sneered.
The thin man was so angry that his face turned bright red. He launched several attacks one after another, but just like before, all of them were skillfully evaded by Jiang Li.
Seeing this, the people around couldn't help whispering among themselves.
"This young master of the Jiang family really has some skills. The thin man can't do anything to him."
"Yeah, he's worthy of being Jiang Zhenting's son."
Brother Zhang's face grew darker and darker. He hadn't expected Jiang Li to be such a tough nut to crack. He thought to himself,"This kid can't be left alive. We have to find a way to get rid of him as soon as possible, or there will be more troubles as time passes."
Just then, a middle-aged man with a cold expression walked out of the crowd. He was dressed in a black outfit that fit tightly, walked with steady and powerful steps, and there was a faint yet powerful fluctuation of spiritual power emanating from him. Obviously, he was an expert.
"Humph, you're just a young brat at the Warrior Realm. How dare you run wild here? Let me teach you a lesson!" The middle-aged man said coldly, with disdain in his eyes. He was at the Martial Master Realm, and his strength was quite remarkable among this group of people.
Jiang Li's heart sank, and he felt the powerful oppressive force from the other party. This man's strength was far above his own.
"Then come on! I'd like to see what's so great about you at the Martial Master Realm!" Jiang Li replied without showing any weakness.
Before he finished speaking, the middle-aged man's figure flashed and disappeared in an instant. His speed was astonishing.
Jiang Li was shocked in his heart and quickly concentrated his mind, focusing all his attention on sensing the movements around him.
Suddenly, a fierce fluctuation of spiritual power came from the left. Without thinking too much, Jiang Li rolled sideways violently. A black spiritual blade grazed the corner of his clothes and sliced a rock behind him in half instantly, with fragments of the rock flying everywhere.
Jiang Li stabilized his figure and quickly jumped up from the ground. The Molin Sword in his hand was drawn out in an instant, and spiritual power was poured into it. The sword body glowed with a faint light.
"Earth-Splitting Slash!" Jiang Li shouted loudly and swung the Molin Sword vigorously in the direction of the middle-aged man. A sword shadow filled with all his strength rushed towards the other party with a shrill whistling sound.
Seeing this, the middle-aged man's mouth curled up slightly, yet there was still disdain in his eyes.
He calmly raised his right hand and waved it gently. A more powerful spiritual power barrier instantly formed in front of him. Jiang Li's Earth-Splitting Slash sword shadow crashed into the barrier, only creating a faint glow before dissipating into nothingness.
"Humph, is that all you can do?" The middle-aged man sneered. Then his figure swayed and he rushed towards Jiang Li again, even faster than before. He quickly formed seals with his hands and muttered incantations. In an instant, countless black spiritual power needles shot towards Jiang Li.
Jiang Li felt that his vision was filled with dense spiritual power needles and there was no way to avoid them. With a determined heart, he decided to take a risk.
Immediately, he forcibly circulated his spiritual power to form a thin shield in front of him. At the same time, his figure rushed towards the middle-aged man like lightning. He actually planned to counterattack with an attack of his own and directly break through the attack of these spiritual power needles.
Seeing this, the people around couldn't help but let out a burst of exclamations. They hadn't expected Jiang Li to be so crazy that he dared to face the full-strength attack of a Martial Master Realm opponent with his Warrior Realm cultivation.
The spiritual power needles shot at Jiang Li's shield one after another, making a series of "bang bang" sounds. The shield instantly had many cracks and was on the verge of shattering.
However, Jiang Li gritted his teeth and continued to rush forward recklessly. At the moment when the shield shattered, he took advantage of the momentum to leap up high and swung the Molin Sword in his hand fiercely towards the middle-aged man's head.
The middle-aged man didn't expect that Jiang Li could break through his attack of spiritual power needles. He was slightly stunned for a moment. But after all, he was highly skilled and had extremely quick reactions. He quickly raised his hands and crossed them above his head, forming another shield once again.
With a loud "clang" sound, Jiang Li's Molin Sword struck the shield, sending out a dazzling burst of sparks. The powerful recoil made Jiang Li's arm feel numb and sore, and he almost couldn't hold onto the sword. But he still held it tightly and used the recoil to perform a backflip and landed steadily on the ground.
The middle-aged man was also shaken back a few steps by this blow. A trace of surprise flashed in his eyes. He hadn't expected that Jiang Li, a kid at the Warrior Realm, could burst out with such powerful strength and could even make him, an expert at the Martial Master Realm, feel a bit of pressure.
"Somewhat interesting. However, you're still too inexperienced!" The middle-aged man snorted coldly and launched another attack.
His figure was as fast as lightning and he instantly appeared in front of Jiang Li. His right fist was clenched tightly, and the spiritual power on his fist shone brightly as he smashed it hard towards Jiang Li's chest.
Jiang Li couldn't dodge in time and could only hold the Molin Sword horizontally in front of his chest. Meanwhile, he mobilized all his spiritual power and poured it into the sword, preparing to take the punch head-on.
With a loud "boom" sound, the middle-aged man's fist smashed onto the Molin Sword. The powerful force instantly sent Jiang Li flying backward. He fell heavily to the ground and spat out a mouthful of blood.
Jiang Li felt a sharp pain in his chest, as if all his internal organs had been displaced by the shock. He struggled to get up from the ground.
"Why, still not admitting defeat?" The middle-aged man said coldly.
"Admit defeat? There are no such words in my Jiang Li's dictionary!"
Jiang Li wiped the blood from the corner of his mouth, endured the severe pain with great effort, and clenched the Molin Sword again, ready to continue the fight.
At this moment, Jiang Li's spiritual power was in chaos inside his body and his injuries were extremely serious. Every breath he took was accompanied by a heart-piercing pain.
However, in those eyes of his, the unyielding flame was still burning. He stared fixedly at the middle-aged man in front of him. The stubbornness in his heart made him unwilling to fall down like this.
Seeing that Jiang Li was so tough, the middle-aged man's mouth curled up slightly, yet there was still disdain in his eyes."Humph, you reckless brat. Since you want to continue to be humiliated, then I'll oblige you!" After saying that, his figure swayed and he disappeared in an instant like a black bolt of lightning.
Jiang Li was greatly shocked in his heart. The middle-aged man's speed was extremely fast.
At that moment, he didn't dare to slack off at all. He forcibly circulated the little spiritual power left in his body and concentrated all his perception, trying to catch the other party's trail.
Suddenly, a fierce fluctuation of spiritual power rushed over from the right side. Without thinking too much, relying on his instinctive reaction, Jiang Li suddenly shifted his steps. His body spun rapidly like a top, and the Molin Sword in his hand also danced along with it, forming a curtain of sword light to protect his whole body.
With a loud "bang" sound, the middle-aged man's attack crashed heavily onto Jiang Li's sword curtain, sending out a dazzling burst of sparks.
Jiang Li felt a huge force passing through the sword body, which made his arm feel numb and sore. He almost couldn't hold the Molin Sword firmly, but he still gritted his teeth and held it tightly.
When the middle-aged man failed to land a hit with his first strike, his figure made a turn in the air and rushed towards Jiang Li once again.
He quickly formed seals with his hands and muttered incantations. In an instant, several black spears formed by condensed spiritual power emerged in front of him. The spearheads were shining with a cold and gloomy light, as if they could pierce through everything.
"Go!" The middle-aged man shouted in a low voice. The several black spears shot towards Jiang Li like arrows leaving the bowstring, tearing the air into black cracks along the way and making "hissing" sounds.
Seeing this, Jiang Li hardened his heart and a determined look flashed in his eyes. He suddenly stopped his spinning figure, stomped his feet hard on the ground, and poured his own spiritual power into the Molin Sword without reservation.
The Molin Sword instantly shone brightly, and faint runes flickered on the sword body, as if some sleeping power had been awakened.
