Invincible!

Chapter 53 Qi and Blood
"I?"

Qi Liang was slightly taken aback.

"has a problem?"

Yan Yu's tone turned cold.

"No."

Qi Liang took a deep breath.

Although he was the emperor's son-in-law and was even granted the title of Marquis Zhenwu under the pretext of the emperor's appointment, he appeared to be a man of high rank and great power, with a prestigious status.

But in reality, in the eyes of the core members of the royal Yan family, he was just a slightly higher-level employee.

All kinds of orders, whether reasonable or not, were issued without hesitation, without regard to whether they were unreasonable or not.

But rather...

He couldn't refuse.

The Yan family is not only the highest ruler of the Great Zhou, but also has deep connections within the Immortal Sect.

Of course, most importantly...

After defeating and severely injuring Yan Yu with flawless defenses, Li Xian didn't think he had much fighting strength left.

This can be seen from the almost drastic change in his blood and qi.

He might refuse a matter of life and death, but this is just a small favor...

"give it to me."

Qi Liang immediately leaped up and stepped onto the Five Elements Platform.

But almost at the same moment he was about to step onto the Five Elements Platform, a figure was one step ahead of him.

……

"call!"

Li Xian slowly exhaled.

At the same time, the Heavenly Demon Disintegration Technique and the Limitless State were stopped!
It is a fact that the Overlimit State and the Heavenly Demon Disintegration Technique cause great damage to oneself.

If it were someone else, using it two or three times, even if their body didn't collapse, would inevitably leave countless hidden ailments in their body, leading to future illnesses and even death.

Even if Li Xian...

Over the past month, I have been constantly optimizing and improving my skills, and trying to get my body used to this extreme stretching. However, even when used simultaneously, it still has a significant impact on the body.

Just like...

It's like an ordinary person who doesn't exercise regularly suddenly ran five kilometers yesterday.

A feeling of soreness enveloped my entire body.

Every movement seemed to be accompanied by pain.

but……

That's it.

After all, it took him almost a whole month to get used to it.

Moreover, when fighting Yan Yu, he basically relied on his super-limit state to hold the fort, and the Heavenly Demon Disintegration Technique, which consumed a lot of energy, did not waste much time.

The real reason he wanted to leave after the battle was that he had gained some understanding of true qi and wanted to study it carefully.

It was under these circumstances that he noticed another figure on the stage.

Lin was unaware.

The tenth person on the Hidden Dragon List.

"I'm a little skeptical that the Rising Dragon Pavilion ranked you ahead of me. Please enlighten me!"

Before Lin could finish speaking, he made his move, his longsword piercing the air with a trace of blood as it went straight for Li Xian.

As he drew his sword, his expression was full of excitement.

What a great opportunity!

Although Li Xian's achievement of defeating Yan Yu, the number one on the Hidden Dragon List, is simply unbelievable and subverts common sense.

However, he still managed to see the changes in his aura when he dispelled the Heavenly Demon Disintegration Technique and the Limitless State.

Furthermore, Princess Yan Yu was defeated by Li Xian and deeply humiliated, and he also deeply agreed with her assessment that Li Xian was at his limit.

At this moment, if he could go on stage and kill Li Xian, he would not only gain the favor of the princess, but also fulfill the request of Yan Kaigui, who had obtained the Dragon Gate Token long ago. It would be killing two birds with one stone.

Therefore, he rushed into the ring without hesitation.

Even after stepping onto the arena, Li Xian was not given a chance to react. He immediately drew his sword, fearing that if he was too slow, Li Xian would jump off the Five Elements Platform and admit defeat.

"It's Lin who doesn't know!"

"He actually made it up?"

"It's normal for him to go up there. It's said that he has been recruited by the Yan family. Is this a way to take advantage of Li Xian's weakness and kill him, in order to curry favor with Yan Yu?"

The moment Lin stepped onto the stage, another commotion arose below.

As the original ninth on the Hidden Dragon List, Lin Buzhi also had a great reputation.

After all, if it weren't for this hardcore martial arts competition mode, apart from Yan Yu and Xiang Yangsheng who had cultivated true qi, the other eight people on the Hidden Dragon Ranking would actually have a chance to win the Dragon Gate Token.

Lin was unaware of the extent to which these people were valued, and they were no less important than Qi Liang, Yue Long Sha, and Su Jianxing.

His appearance on stage immediately drew everyone's attention. They were all eager to know just how much of a threat Li Xian still had.

Compared to the clamor of the onlookers, Li Xian realized something the moment Lin Buzhi made his move.

"Hmm!? The power of qi and blood!?"

The power of Qi and blood!

Lin was unaware that he had achieved complete mastery of Qi and blood without any flaws!

He couldn't help but feel a little emotional.

Before he could grasp the essence of Qi and Blood, he fought against two masters of the Perfect Qi and Blood Realm, Blood Eagle and Zhang Shuheng, in order to experience the profound mystery of Qi and Blood power.

Unfortunately, although these two were fierce and famous, they had no idea what it meant to control one's qi and blood, which greatly disappointed him.

He is currently using both blood refining techniques and blood-nourishing pills to control his qi and blood.

Furthermore, based on his understanding and comprehension of the Gang Jin (罡劲) during his time on Blue Star, he directly refined his blood into Gang Jin, which could break through true Qi...

But as for the power of qi and blood that I've longed to experience but have never had the chance to...

I'm still very curious.

"Well done!"

Li Xian praised, then turned and dodged Lin Buzhi's sharp sword.

He could tell that although Lin Buzhi's sword was not at the level of a famous weapon like Yan Yu's, it was still exceptionally sharp, a level above Zhang Shuheng's Cold Moon Blade.

As for Xuan Tie Dao Ren's sword...

It's even less worthy of being mentioned.

Therefore, he had no intention of using his flesh and blood to withstand the sharpness of this sword.

What he really wanted to do was to experience firsthand the impact and damage caused by Lin Buzhi's qi and blood entering his body.

In this situation, facing Lin Buzhi's sword thrust, Li Xian seemed extremely passive, retreating repeatedly.

Her "exhausted strength" and "end of her strength" made the experts on the Hidden Dragon Ranking feel heartbroken and regretful that they were too slow to take the stage and missed this precious opportunity to curry favor with Princess Yan Yu.

However, after dodging twelve sword strikes, Li Xian finally seized an opportunity.

As Lin Buzhi seemed to thrust with the same sword technique he had just used, Li Xian, who was retreating, suddenly steadied himself. Then, he sprang forward and swiftly cut into the body of this flawless master martial artist.

As for Lin's unpredictable sword trajectory for intercepting...

He had a clear "view" of the entire process of the man lunging forward.

As the two drew near, Li Xian used an incredibly skillful Golden Snake Entwining Hand technique to grab Lin Buzhi's wrist and twist it instantly.

"Crack!"

The sound of bones breaking was heard.

However, this expert ranked tenth on the Hidden Dragon List did not lose control and scream like the nineteenth princess Yan Yu.

His face was deathly pale, but he endured the excruciating pain and instead raised his hand in anger, slapping Li Xian hard.

Li Xian instinctively formed a sword with his fingers, intending to use the super-limit burst of the overlimit state to strike first and shatter the Adam's apple and neck nerves of this tenth-ranked expert on the Hidden Dragon List with a single sword finger strike, interrupting the attack signal sent by his brain to his body.

However, considering that he had just fought someone above his level, directly attacking a True Qi Realm cultivator, and hadn't had a chance to properly experience the damage that the controlled Qi and blood power could inflict on himself...

Therefore, he chose to change his tactics.

Anyway, there's still time.

Finally, he held his palm horizontally in front of him, blocking Lin Buzhi's palm strike, which was fueled by pain, anger, or rather, an adrenaline rush.

"Oh!"

The palms are clasped together.

A tangible force pierced through his palm, penetrating his body and hand, and, as if alive, attempted to destroy all structures along its path.

only……

Before the destructive force could spread, Li Xian's protective energy retaliated.

Stimulated by the internal energy, it suddenly erupted from within the body, rippling outwards and transforming into an incredible and terrifying ripple, which slammed into the blood and qi that had invaded the arm with overwhelming force.

then……

It crushed that energy of blood and qi into dust with overwhelming force.

This result...

"That's it?"

He was somewhat disappointed: "At best, it's equivalent to the level of Dan Jin burst during the Blood Rejuvenation and Marrow Cleansing Realm."

It was much weaker than he had anticipated.

At the end of the day…

Before reaching the True Qi Realm, everyone is just a mortal.

Even the most physically capable mortals are still mortals.

How powerful can they possibly be?

At that moment, Li Xian looked up and saw Lin Buzhi, who seemed quite shocked as he felt his vital energy being easily blocked and dispersed by a powerful protective force.

"Any more?"
