After a brief exchange, both fell silent with mutual understanding.
As they gazed at each other, a sharp, confrontational Aura radiated outwards.
The audience below felt their hairs stand on end inexplicably, goosebumps rising in layers.
Li Xuanxiao gripped his Crane Mist Blade tightly, its blade gradually tinged with a faint blue fluorescence.
Beili looked frivolous, drawing a short sword from his waist that was curved, winding, and twisted like a serpent.
He brought the short sword to his mouth, parted his lips slightly, and flicked his long tongue across the blade.
A cold, playful chill flickered in his triangular eyes.
Li Xuanxiao narrowed his eyes, a layer of golden light appearing above his pupils.
This Demon Race member gave him a sense of pressure and threat he had never felt before.
It was an almost instinctive intuition, impossible to explain or define.
He could only be more cautious.
The next second, Beili suddenly attacked!
Like a venomous snake leaning back, ready to strike its prey at any moment!
Beili instantly surged forward to Li Xuanxiao's front with an incredible speed!
The Silver Snake Blade in his hand glowed with a ghostly light as he swiftly slashed down repeatedly.
Demonic Technique — Serpent Shadow Raid!
What speed!
Li Xuanxiao's pupils constricted!
Even with the aid of the golden light, he was still shocked by Beili's speed.
Evading leaves Movement Technique was executed reflexively, his figure instantly dissipating into a clear breeze.
The Silver Snake Blade struck Li Xuanxiao's afterimage three times.
"Huh?"
It was Beili's turn to be surprised, but the surprise quickly turned into delight: "Your movement technique is indeed fast! Interesting, interesting~"
Beili's fighting spirit soared, and he charged again, his speed blazing, weaving left and right as if adhering to some kind of rhythm.
Li Xuanxiao was immensely focused; the moment they made contact, he felt immense pressure emanating from Beili.
This was definitely a top-tier Origin Realm Snake Demon, rich in combat experience!
The golden light in Li Xuanxiao's eyes flared intensely, and Beili's movements slowed down further in his sight.
Several consecutive rounds of attacks from Beili were dodged by Li Xuanxiao.
"Dodging back and forth, truly unsatisfying!"
Beili snorted coldly, and a dazzling blue light suddenly shot out from his chilling triangular eyes.
Demonic Technique — Terrifying Serpent Gaze!
The instant he met Beili's gaze, Li Xuanxiao's eyes stung, and an uncontrollable panic suddenly surged in his heart.
It felt as if he were facing an absolutely insurmountable existence!
Like a nightmare jolting him awake at midnight, Li Xuanxiao was almost completely engulfed by the emotion of fear!
His Battle Intent rapidly dissolved, and Beili appeared infinitely terrifying in his eyes.
A cruel smile played on Beili's lips, and as his snake tongue flickered, he struck again fiercely!
The Silver Snake Blade flashed with a deep, cold light, concealing a fatal killing intent.
However, the next second, a solid golden giant boat suddenly materialized!
A compassionate and majestic Aura swept out, cleansing all sorts of evil.
Buddhist Dharma possessed a certain restraining ability against this bizarre Demonic Technique, proving quite effective.
Li Xuanxiao felt a lingering fear; the Demonic Technique the opponent just used had an extremely strong deterrent effect!
It was definitely a Origin Realm grade Demonic Technique!
If it weren't for Great Thousand Reflection, which carried the ability to see through falsehoods, he absolutely wouldn't have reacted so quickly.
In a duel between masters, let alone failing to react, being slow by one second meant losing one's head!
...
Compared to the two on stage, the numerous spectators below were even more aghast!
"So... so strong!"
"Lord Beili is indeed not without his reputation!"
"I've always heard that Lord Beili has never lost a match against opponents of the same realm; I've witnessed it today!"
"But this Human Race kid has some skill too; managing to withstand Lord Beili's first two waves of attacks is enough to be proud of!"
"Heh~ This kid's winning streak ends here. This is, after all, the territory of my Demon Race. Let this Human Race lower his head and behave here!"
The Fat Daoist Wu Jiangming had long put down his sign and stared intently at the arena.
Frankly speaking, he couldn't have withstood Beili's last offensive!
That Demonic Technique's speed was absolutely top-tier Origin Realm!
And that flash of blue light in Beili's eyes must also be some terrifying mental Demonic Technique!
Li Xuanxiao only exchanged a glance with him and immediately fell into a trance, losing focus for a moment.
It was likely also a top-tier Origin Realm mental attack Demonic Technique!
"Is this the foundation of the Brocade Snake Manor? If a Origin Realm Demon Race member possesses such strength, how terrifying must the Heaven Realm Snake Demon who currently leads them be?"
Wu Jiangming's thoughts churned, not daring to dwell on it.
Chu Yin's reaction wasn't much better than Wu Jiangming's.
When he saw Li Xuanxiao fall into a daze just now, his heart leaped into his throat.
In a master's duel, sometimes just that brief moment is enough to decide victory or defeat.
Fortunately...
Li Xuanxiao ultimately managed to pull through.
Chu Yin felt both relieved and fearful. If it had been him, he would have already been slain on the spot by this Demon Race member!
Truly worthy of being the man who killed a Qilin!
He really does have some genuine ability.
...
Beili's attacks were exceptionally fierce. The golden giant boat only managed a slight obstruction before shattering into True Essence fragments, scattering in the air.
After breaking through the golden giant boat's barrier, Beili's offensive did not diminish, and he instantly rushed before Li Xuanxiao.
At this moment, Li Xuanxiao had nowhere left to evade!
Damn it, is this endless or what!
Continuously suppressed, a bit of anger also welled up in Li Xuanxiao's heart.
Reason and frenzy coexisted.
The mad secretion of adrenaline made him gradually become excited and warlike.
The Crane Mist Blade collided with the Silver Snake Blade, emitting a sharp clang.
Beili looked provocative, his snake tongue flicking as he regarded Li Xuanxiao with the mocking look a hunter gives his prey.
"Kid, is this all you've got? If it weren't for that Buddhist Dharma, your head would have been taken off by me just now..."
Before he could finish speaking, Beili's triangular eyes suddenly narrowed!
True Essence surged wildly around Li Xuanxiao, causing his robes to flap violently.
His entire being exuded a rather terrifying Aura!
Origin Tracing Martial Art and Origin - Mahayana Origin Scripture were both operating at maximum power.
Stirring up a vortex of True Essence that swept across the entire venue!
"Number one Demon below the Heaven realm?"
Influenced by the inner frenzy, Li Xuanxiao couldn't help but reveal a hint of arrogance.
He spoke lightly, his tone a mix of inquiry and mockery: "Are you worthy?"
Whoosh—
Instantly, violent True Essence, like a tornado, swept out centered on Li Xuanxiao!
The air waves exploded, causing the robes of many spectators below to flutter incessantly.
The True Essence condensed into dense flashes of saber light and sword shadows, surrounding Li Xuanxiao and Beili.
Saber lights cascaded like immortal waterfalls, sword shadows danced like immortal boats.
Intertwining and overlapping, they actually enveloped the entire arena, devouring everything like a vortex!
Origin Realm Martial Art — Immortal Vortex Saber Art!
Beili's eyes grew solemn. This kid actually had a trump card!?
Had the opponents in the previous seven matches not forced him to use his full strength?
Damn it, even pretending to be weak has its limits, right?
Was this kid too cautious, too patient?
Beili's heart churned, but he wasn't overly panicked.
Countless past experiences fighting and slaying Human Race members gave him immense confidence.
Today, I will win as well!
Beili stabilized his mind and began trying to escape the vortex's range.
However, a hand suddenly reached out and firmly gripped him!
"Trying to run? My blood has only just begun to boil!"
Li Xuanxiao's indifferent voice came out.
Puchi—
Beili struck back, slashing at Li Xuanxiao's hand with the Silver Snake Blade!
The Silver Snake Blade pierced right through Li Xuanxiao's palm, drawing a spray of blood!
The kid dared to grab me with his bare hand; he truly doesn't know what's good for him!
Beili sneered, mocking Li Xuanxiao's foolishness.
But the hand that he expected to let go due to the pain remained clamped onto him like a vise.
Beili looked up in confusion, meeting Li Xuanxiao's eyes.
In Li Xuanxiao's gaze, he saw a trace of indifference, a trace of cruelty, a trace of madness, and a trace of excitement.
Beili's heart inexplicably trembled.
"From now on..."
Li Xuanxiao paused, then tilted his head slightly, revealing a grim smile.
"It's my turn!"
