Sword Qi to the Sky

Chapter 408 This is your limit, not mine.

Around the steps, countless eyes were fixed on the battlefield.

"Junior Brother's Purple Extreme Heaven-Shaking Skill has already reached such a level." People on both sides of the sky said with laughter.

Even within the Baiyujing Academy, the Purple Extreme Heaven-Shaking Technique remains one of the most superior martial arts techniques, and it is extremely difficult to master. Yet, in Qin Baiyu's hands, it is now unleashing astonishing power.

Li Fan was surrounded by the golden demonic dragon's body, but under that huge palm print, he still felt as if he were buried. The giant seal was like a star, and under the true meaning of martial arts, it was as if a starry sky was pressing down, and even the true dragon had to be subdued.

Even under such terrifying attacks, Li Fan still raised his head high, his body enveloped by the golden dragon radiating dazzling golden light, as if burning with golden divine fire.

Strands of golden divine light emanated from his body and spread outwards. The golden divine light that filled the sky transformed into a dragon shadow, and a loud dragon roar erupted from his body, resounding throughout the heavens and earth, causing the surrounding space to tremble.

The magnificent scene before their eyes shocked all the cultivators watching the battle. Countless dragon shadows overlapped and merged into the body of the golden dragon, transforming into an unshakeable demon god.

The golden dragon's body also burst forth with golden flames, as if it were burning. Its huge claws slammed down towards the sky above, crashing onto the giant palm print that was descending to suppress it. A violent shockwave swept out, and countless cracks appeared on the giant palm print that was descending to suppress it, before it suddenly exploded.

"What a domineering attack!" The hearts of the spectators pounded. Qin Baiyu's domineering attack was actually broken by Li Fan. The two of them were both terrifying in their martial arts skills.

"Could he really be a demonic dragon?" Some people even had a strange thought: the Great Li world could not recall any force possessing such martial arts techniques.

"Boom."

A violent tremor resounded, as if striking the hearts of everyone present. Li Fan continued his ascent, enveloped by the golden demonic dragon, his presence awe-inspiring and capable of shaking even immortals and gods.

The heavens and earth roared like thunder, and the sky above the steps changed color. The muffled sound was extremely oppressive, and even the surrounding world and the giant plaza behind Li Fan were shrouded in terrifying pressure.

But everyone seemed oblivious, their gazes fixed on the battlefield ahead, fixed on the enormous purple war god's avatar that had appeared.

Qin Baiyu's body floated within his Dharma body, and streaks of purple lightning flashed in his pupils, extremely eerie, yet incredibly impactful. Qin Baiyu was originally a refined gentleman, so it was hard to imagine that he had achieved such terrifying accomplishments in martial arts.

"Is this still a battle between cultivators at the initial stage of True Meaning?" one cultivator exclaimed, the scene before him resembling a battle between great cultivators at the seventh stage of martial arts.

The purple divine lightning, like sharp swords, crashed down from the sky, relentlessly striking the golden dragon's body. The majestic purple divine general's avatar stretched out its enormous palm, with the purple divine lightning still within its hand, gestating an incomparably terrifying destructive power.

Suddenly, the enormous hand clenched, unleashing a destructive barrage of lightning. The fist contained immense destructive power. Qin Baiyu glanced down with his purple eyes, and his purple avatar simultaneously unleashed two downward punches. At that moment, the two fists seemed to transform into two stars, surrounded by endless destructive lightning that tore everything apart.

Beams of purple, destructive light pierced through space, making the sky seem about to be shattered.

Golden divine light shot out from Li Fan's eyes, which were shrouded in the demonic dragon. A phantom image of a real dragon seemed to appear in his pupils. He charged upwards, and the golden dragon also rushed forward. In an instant, countless golden claws appeared, and the huge golden claws seemed to tear the sky apart. They collided with the two fists that were about to strike down.

Countless golden claws tore through the sky, while Li Fan emerged from the demonic dragon, bathed in golden divine fire, and charged towards Qin Baiyu like a streak of light.

Li Fan believed that he might not be as perfect as Qin Baiyu on the path of martial arts cultivation, since martial arts was not his main focus, but his physical body and strength were no weaker than any martial arts cultivator.

A muffled sound rang out, and the golden light appeared in front of the Dharma Body. Li Fan used his physical body to unleash the Sky-Splitting Claw, which landed on the Dharma Body. Instantly, golden cracks appeared on the Dharma Body as it was torn apart. His attack continued forward, blasting towards Qin Baiyu's true form.

Qin Baiyu naturally wouldn't back down. He raised his hand forward, activated the Purple Extreme Heaven-Shaking Technique, and channeled his power into his arm, colliding with Li Fan's Sky-Splitting Claw.

Golden and purple light raged, transforming into beams of light that shot outwards. Explosions rang out, and everyone saw a figure being blasted away.

"boom……"

After Qin Baiyu was blasted away, the shockwave swept across the surrounding area, impacting the crowd watching the battle.

After everything had dispersed, they found that Li Fan's figure was still standing there, without taking a single step back.

Qin Baiyu coughed lightly, straightened up, and looked down at Li Fan.

He lost.

The violent air currents between heaven and earth dissipated, but no one paid any attention; their eyes remained fixed on Li Fan.

No wonder he dared to ask about Bai Yujing's way. He defeated Qin Baiyu in the martial arts battle, and this one battle alone was enough to make him famous throughout the world.

Previously, a group of prodigies had come to inquire about the Dao, but none had won. Qi Zhanyun of Qitian Pavilion was crushed by Qin Baiyu in the martial arts competition. Shen Jing stared at Li Fan with an unpleasant look in his eyes. Li Fan's strength was a silent irony to him.

Previously, he was extremely arrogant in front of Li Fan.

However, the other party did not take him seriously at all.

"In this Great Li world, there are still many unknown top cultivators. With such martial arts talent, he will surely have a place in the entire Great Li." Ye Yunke said with a light laugh.

"However, to reach the summit of Baiyujing..."

It seems that it's still not enough.

"Junior Brother Qin actually lost." An Zhiyao's beautiful face showed a hint of surprise. Xiao Lu beside her seemed to be deep in thought. Did Li Fan come to Baiyujing to seek enlightenment? Or was it to make a name for himself?

"Your martial arts foundation is superior to mine, so it's not unjust for me to lose to you," Qin Baiyu said, looking down at Li Fan. He could naturally sense this from their direct confrontation.

"You flatter me," Li Fan replied.

“However, this is Baiyujing after all. Even if you can defeat me, you still can’t get up here. This battle is enough to make you famous in Dali. There’s no need to keep going up.” Qin Baiyu advised. It wasn’t that he was arrogant, but he knew very well that he was just the first person standing here.

Although Li Fan defeated him, he didn't win by much.

Everyone agreed. Even though Li Fan had demonstrated considerable strength in this battle, Qin Baiyu was only the first person. How could he possibly reach the pinnacle of Baiyujing?

Li Fan smiled nonchalantly and continued walking upwards. The breeze blew his magnificent clothes, and his sharply defined face exuded pride and confidence.

"The battle just now was your limit, but it was not mine."

"Martial arts training is my weakest area."

Li Fan spoke slowly, his voice lingering in everyone's ears, causing many to show expressions of astonishment.

Is martial arts his weakest area?
Qi Zhanyun: "?"

Shen Jing was stunned. His pupils dilated as he looked up at the figure on the steps, and then his face turned extremely gloomy and ugly.

If martial arts cultivation is a weak point for Li Fan, then what is he? He was crushed and defeated by a single attack, leaving him in a sorry state.

He doesn't believe it!
It must be Li Fan's wild talk.

"Arrogant talk." Liu Qingwu also didn't believe it. Li Fan had always given them the impression of a madman, so it was normal for him to say arrogant things.

If martial arts are his weaker area, then he is stronger in Taoist cultivation techniques.

His martial arts have already reached this level, how could he possibly become stronger?
Just now, he said that if this were all, Li Fan would not be able to reach the summit of Baiyujing. Now, he heard Li Fan say that this is not his limit.

So, how strong is his limit?
Ye Yunke's interest grew higher and higher; he was really looking forward to it.

The cultivators of Baiyujing around him stared at Li Fan in astonishment. Seeing him continue to ascend the steps, Qin Baiyu, who was at the top of the stairs, remained silent for a moment, then bowed in the direction of Li Fan and said, "In that case, I will step down."

Having said that, he vanished in a flash, leaving the steps behind. He had been defeated; this was no longer his battlefield.

Li Fan climbed step by step, his gaze fixed on the towering temple.

After witnessing Qin Baiyu's combat prowess, he realized that he couldn't advance through martial arts alone, after all, this was Baiyujing.

Another figure appeared on the steps above, standing quietly in place of Qin Baiyu.

The sixth-ranked disciple of Taibai Sword on the Sword Saint Ranking, a prodigy of the Baiyujing Sword Dao, who defeated Shen Jing with a single sword strike.

Guan Shanyue stood there quietly, like a sword stuck in the ground.
