Invincible!

Chapter 96 Fear

The world is covered in snow, but it doesn't actually snow.

But Chen Jianghai felt cold.

It was still that kind of cold, like the deepest part of winter.

The Qiankun Sword Manual is the most popular and cost-effective supreme sword technique in martial arts, and almost every capable inner disciple has heard of it.

Not to mention that Chen Jianghai himself also practices the Qiankun Sword Manual.

Therefore, he recognized it at a glance: this was the strongest killing move that could only be performed when the fourth chapter of the Qiankun Sword Manual was mastered—Snow Fills the Universe!
The fourth chapter of this sword manual corresponds to refining swords into silk.

Moreover, it is the highest level of sword refining into silk.

The ultimate killing move that comes from mastering the art...

It can almost represent the strongest killing move in the entire sword-forging-to-silk stage!
Even him...

I still haven't learned it.

"Mr. Li!"

Chen Jianghai stared at the figure that had sheathed his sword.

His eyes were filled with disbelief.

how come……

Mr. Li, you've only been a beginner for a few months?
Even if he exchanged for the Qiankun Sword Manual on his very first day, in such a short time, completing the transformation of true qi and cultivating sword qi thunderous sound would be his limit.

How could one possibly master the fourth chapter, "Refining the Sword into Silk," which transforms hardness into softness?!

and……

He even cultivated it to perfection, mastering a deadly move!?

"Senior Brother Chen... save me..."

A cry for help snapped Chen Jianghai out of his awe at the breathtaking scene of snow-covered landscape.

He glanced out of the corner of his eye in the direction the sound came from...

But his attention never dared to leave Li Xian for even a moment.

"Li Xian! Do you know what you're doing?!"

After a long while, the executive vice president of the Immortal Light Society, who was among the top ten candidates for entering the Dao, finally spoke.

"Chen Jianghai".

Li Xian said something.

Not a question.

We could already tell from the plea for help from that dying Immortal Light Society elite.

"I heard that you have gathered three thousand experts from the Immortal Light Society, the Mysterious Illumination Society, and the Taiyi Pavilion to deal with me, so I have come."

"very good!"

Chen Jianghai took a deep breath: "How many years... The Immortal Light Society has been established for over a hundred years. Since that battle where a thousand swords slay a dragon, no one has dared to be so arrogant in our Immortal Light Society for so many years."

"You saw it today."

Li Xiandao.

Do you know what will happen to you?

Chen Jianghaidao.

Li Xian did not reply, but stared at him and sized him up.

After a moment, he suddenly said, "You're scared."

"Fear?"

Chen Jianghai's expression was icy: "What are you afraid of?"

"I."

"you?"

Chen Jianghai stared at Li Xian, who was slowly approaching: "You mean, I, Chen Jianghai, who alone with my sword, can overpower the top ten candidates on the Daoist entrance list of 100,000 Xiantian cultivators, and who is the executive vice president of the Immortal Light Society who commands 1,300 elite inner disciples, and who has already accumulated a superior Daoist foundation and is working on a top-tier Daoist foundation, would be afraid of you?"

"Correct."

Li Xian nodded firmly: "If you weren't afraid, you wouldn't have chosen to communicate with me after witnessing me kill so many of your Immortal Light Society's elites. Instead, you would have drawn your sword and shown me what it means to be 'invincible under the Heavenly Gate, one for one within the Heavenly Gate.'"

"Ha... I just know that I have a hundred ways to easily kill you."

Chen Jianghai sneered.

"Nothing."

Li Xian's tone carried a hint of disappointment: "In the struggle for the Great Dao, there is no retreat. I originally thought that a true prodigy like you, who has entered the top ten of the Dao Candidate List, would have an unyielding and indomitable spirit to win! Now it seems... I overestimated you."

He quickly adjusted his mindset: "That's true. What does it mean to be invincible? To be the best in the world is to be invincible! You're not even the best in the inner sect, how can you cultivate the heart of a strongman?"

Chen Jianghai looked gloomy.

Very familiar.

He had said something similar to Xu Qi not long ago, when commenting on Li Xian.

I never imagined things would turn out like this...

Li Xian, however, used the same rhetoric and methods to return these evaluations to him.

humiliation!

Humiliate in person!

He is a martial arts prodigy whose talent and aptitude are second to none!

but……

He is also the executive vice president of the Xianguang Society!

therefore……

"Li Xian, I must say, we all underestimated you, allowing you to grow to this level in such a short time! To the point that... even if I wanted to kill you, I would have to exert all my strength, and if I didn't perform well, I might even lose my life at your hands!"

Chen Jianghai said in a deep voice, "Hesitation will only lead to more trouble."

“I have no interest in your thought process. When your Fairy Light Society decided to deal with me, you should have expected this outcome. People kill me, and I will kill them in return.”

Li said calmly.

"What a fine line: 'If someone kills me, I will kill them in return.' My Immortal Light Society will target you, so your resistance is perfectly justified."

Chen Jianghai's words were forceful: "Then, since you have wreaked havoc in my Immortal Light Society today, it is only natural that we fight to the death! The law of the jungle has always been true!"

"so?"

Li Xian gave him a slightly higher opinion of him.

At least……

They can understand things clearly.

"If you want war, I'll grant your wish! But... not today!"

Chen Jianghai said in a deep voice: "Who are you? A newly promoted inner disciple with nothing. Perhaps with your talent, you will become famous in the future, but right now, you are still penniless! As for me, I hold the position of executive vice president of the Immortal Light Society. The livelihoods of tens of thousands of disciples inside and outside the Immortal Light Society depend on me. If I were to accept this death battle with you without first arranging all the affairs of the Immortal Light Society, it would be irresponsible to the tens of thousands of members of the Immortal Light Society!"

After saying that, he paused, then added, "Besides, I don't want to take advantage of someone in distress!"

Unwilling to take advantage of someone in distress?

Not far behind him, the woman who regarded him as her pillar of support, for some reason, upon hearing these words, had a vague feeling...

Senior Brother Chen's hands behind his back...

It was trembling slightly.

Li Xian was too lazy to investigate the veracity of Chen Jianghai's statement.

If he hadn't lacked sufficient merit, he would have already challenged them to a duel. "Time."

He said directly.

"It won't be long..."

"Three days!"

Li Xian interrupted him directly: "Three days later! On the dueling platform! You and I, regardless of superiority or inferiority, will fight to the death!"

"Three days..."

Chen Jianghai kept repeating this time.

moment……

"Perhaps... three breaths?"

"Ok?"

Li Xian was somewhat puzzled.

next moment……

"Ding! Ding!"

His identity token made a soft sound.

Immediately afterwards, he sensed two powerful auras, even stronger than those of Xu Qi and Zhang Tong, rapidly approaching.

In an instant, Li realized something.

"Are you stalling for time!?"

"Hahaha!"

Sensing the two rapidly approaching auras, Chen Jianghai burst into laughter: "Li Xian, I've said it before, hesitation only leads to trouble! Since we're now locked in a life-or-death struggle, killing you sooner rather than later is the best course of action! You trespassed into my Immortal Light Society and committed murder. If I let you leave alive today, how will my Immortal Light Society maintain its standing on Candlelight Peak?! Do you think I can't distinguish between what's important and what's urgent?!"

"..."

Li remained silent.

"call out!"

The sound of something cutting through the air arrived.

Two figures arrived at the courtyard simultaneously, one after the other.

"Senior Brother Chen!"

"Li Xian, you deserve to die!"

Clearly, the two had already seen the corpses strewn across the courtyard when they flew over.

"Qiao Yang, Xu Zhiyi!"

Chen Jianghai gave a greeting.

Both of them are strong individuals on the list of candidates for entering the Dao!
He and Li Xian had been talking for so long, just to secretly send a message to them, asking them to come over.

As for the rest of the people...

Either there isn't enough time.

If one is an ordinary innate being, they won't be of much use against Li Xian, who has refined swords into threads.

Now that the person has arrived...

"Li Xian, how dare you set your access level to accept challenges from anyone!?"

Chen Jianghai stared at him: "Your arrogance is destined to drag you into an abyss!"

Li Xian knew without even looking that those few "dings" must be challenge messages they had sent and directly accepted.

"So, you're just stalling for time, is that all?"

He shook his head: "You should have said so earlier. I can wait. Why be so mysterious and waste time with so much talk!"

"nonsense?"

Among the other two newly arrived candidates for the Dao Path ranking, a man named Qiao Yang suddenly roared, "Li Xian, prepare to die!"

Xu Zhiyi also drew her sword immediately: "Strike while the iron is hot, and I'll take your life!"

And Chen Jianghai...

The two men suddenly closed in the instant they made their move!
He was just waiting for their attacks to create an opportunity for him to draw his sword and deliver a fatal blow.

"You are a qualified vice president of the Immortal Light Society, adept at leveraging and utilizing power, but you are no longer a qualified cultivator. Don't believe me..."

Li Xian pondered in a low voice.

The demon is disintegrated!

Seven Stars Determine Fate!

Release simultaneously!

This time, in particular, he not only selected the Lu Cun and Tan Lang stars, but also activated the Wu Qu star!
Wuqu corresponds to the Jiaji acupoint! It governs strength and a robust physique!
Samsung releases all its products!

In an instant, a terrifying aura several times stronger than when he hadn't made a move erupted from his body!
"I am invincible!"

Sword light flashed!

With his Ten-Step Movement Technique, Li Xian moved like a ferocious beast about to slaughter the forest, his terrifying ferocity striking towards Qiao Yang's body.

With the burst of true energy, the condensed sword energy exploded with a deafening roar, making the servants and disciples on the outskirts of the courtyard dizzy.

"Sword Qi Thunder Sound!"

Qiao Yang's expression was a mixture of excitement and ferocity.

He suddenly attacked, wearing a metal gauntlet of unknown material, and fiercely seized the thunderous sword energy that Li Xian had shot out!

especially……

When this sword energy, no less powerful than the one that killed Zhang Tong, struck his descending hand, ripples spread across his metal gauntlets, reducing his true energy and true qi by more than half.

With a burst of his power, he shattered the sword energy that was so powerful it could easily kill any Grandmaster of the Innate Realm!
This result surprised Li Xian slightly.

"call out!"

The blade flashed!
Before he could react, Xu Zhiyi's knife, carrying an unstoppable and devastating force, slashed down.

That conviction, that resolve, it seemed that once he unleashed that strike, there was nothing in the world he couldn't break!
This kind of knife technique...

He somewhat resembles Zhu Shan, the man in black.

but……

While they differ in their relative merits and core values, there are fundamental differences between the two.

Li Xian moved.

He took ten steps to escape from the cover of the blade's light.

But just as he unleashed the Ten Steps technique, he suddenly realized something.

wrong!

This strike is meant to force him into a trap!

That is, at the same time he used the Ten Steps to dodge, Chen Jianghai moved.

At this moment, Li Xian finally understood what it meant to have a sword hanging over the heavenly gate!

A sword light surged forth, carrying the grandeur and magnificence of cleaving through the heavens, instantly filling Li Xian's entire field of vision.

Wherever the sword light pointed, there was no one else in his eyes, not even the world!
All that remained was this sword light, which seemed to merge with heaven and earth!

This sword light, like a thunderclap, shattered Li Xian's doubts about a realm he had never been able to comprehend.

That kind of realm...

Momentum!
