Mortal: I became invincible after becoming sworn brothers with Han Li.

Upon hearing this, all the surrounding cultivators stared wide-eyed at Li Yunfan, their expressions filled with utter astonishment.

"The son of the Li family patriarch, isn't that the young master of the Li family?!"

"I never imagined the Li family had such a trump card up their sleeve. A young patriarch at the late Foundation Establishment stage—no wonder the Li family rose to power so quickly; they had such a powerful expert secretly helping them!"

"With this young master of the family here, along with the other four Foundation Establishment cultivators of the Li family, it seems that Kuang Xiu Yue Tian will not be able to cause any major trouble at the Li family today."

"That's not necessarily true. Kuang Xiu was already comparable to a late-stage Foundation Establishment cultivator in the mid-stage. Now that he's advanced to the late-stage, his strength must be even greater. A mere late-stage young master might not be a match for Yue Tian..."

The surrounding cultivators whispered among themselves about Li Yunfan's identity and the outcome of the battle between the two. Some were optimistic about the Li family's strength, while others thought Yue Tian was stronger... In short, everyone had their own opinion.

"You're the young master of the Li family? As far as I know, the Li family has only been in the Qingxia Mountains for seven or eight years, and I've never heard of any young master. You'd better not hide your identity." Yue Tian frowned and said with some disbelief.

"What you said is quite interesting. Why would I hide my identity? Is it because I'm afraid you'll retaliate against me in the future?" Li Yunfan said with a light laugh.

His smile vanished, his gaze turning slightly cold as he looked at Yue Tian, ​​and he said again in a chilling tone, "But if you dare to cause trouble at my Li family today, you should be prepared to pay a heavy price!"

Upon hearing this, Yue Tian burst into laughter twice, then a fierce look appeared on his face, and a bloodthirsty glint appeared in his eyes as he said menacingly.

"If you want me to pay the price, we'll see if you have the guts!"

As soon as he finished speaking, his body vanished from the spot. When he reappeared, he had already traversed more than ten zhang and was only a few feet away from Li Yunfan.

Such astonishing speed was like teleportation in the eyes of the surrounding Qi Refining cultivators. Even Li Qingzhou and his two companions changed their expressions, clearly they had not seen Yue Tian's movements clearly either.

Li Yunfan seemed not to have reacted at all, remaining standing in place without making any defense or dodge.

Seeing this, Yue Tian couldn't help but sneer inwardly. Without the slightest hesitation, he swung his broadsword straight at Li Yunfan's neck!

Just then, a mocking look suddenly appeared on Li Yunfan's lips, and a purple and yellow light shield instantly pierced through his body, blocking the big sword with a "clang".

Double Flame Shield!

Looking at the two-colored spiritual shield that enveloped the opponent, Yue Tian's eyes revealed a hint of surprise. He had used about 70% of his strength in this attack, but it was blocked by this two-colored spiritual shield.

Seeing that his attack had failed, Yue Tian immediately sheathed his sword and leaped backward several feet.

At this moment, Li Yunfan appeared calm on the surface, but inwardly he was seething with turmoil: "What kind of technique does Yue Tian have? The power of his attack is terrifying! If I hadn't carefully trained my Double Flame Shield on the way here, my head would probably be gone by now!"

Although he blocked the opponent's attack with his Double Flame Shield, about 20% of his spiritual power disappeared in that instant.

Although the Twin Flame Shield has amazing defensive power and can be cast instantly like an ordinary protective spirit shield, it requires the caster's own spiritual power to support it when resisting attacks. Once the attack power exceeds its own defensive power, the Twin Flame Shield will automatically absorb the caster's spiritual power to strengthen its own defense.

However, there is a limit to this situation: when more than half of the spellcaster's spiritual power is consumed, the fire shield will be shattered by the attack.

Now, Yue Tianzhi's attack has already reached half of the limit that the Double Flame Shield can withstand, which is terrifying.

"Li Yunfan, right? I'll remember you! There aren't many people who can withstand one of my attacks head-on, but you're one of them!" Yue Tian raised his sword and pointed it at Li Yunfan, speaking arrogantly.

What he said wasn't untrue. Back when he was in the mid-Foundation Establishment stage, he could fight on par with late-stage cultivators using only his physical strength. Although he hadn't used his full power just now, seventy percent of his strength would definitely have been enough to kill those late-stage cultivators he had fought before with a single blow.

"Your strength is not bad either, but I wonder about your defense!"

After Li Yunfan finished speaking, he pointed at Yue Tian, ​​and the six black rays of the Ghost Shadow Six Demon Blades flashed by and attacked the opponent.

"A complete set of ritual implements!"

Yue Tian was startled and quickly released all his divine sense, surrounding himself. As soon as he sensed the dagger's attack, he immediately swung his broadsword and knocked it away.

Li Yunfan, whose mind was connected to the magical artifact, could clearly feel the buzzing sound emitted by the dagger after it was knocked away by his broadsword.

"Could he be cultivating a body-refining technique? Otherwise, how could he possess such formidable power!" Li Yunfan narrowed his eyes slightly, thinking to himself.

Under his divine sense, Yue Tian's attacks did not show much spiritual energy fluctuation; instead, they seemed to be using brute force of the physical body.

Realizing this, he no longer held back, directly raising his hand to release eight puppets, then patting his storage bag to summon a spear and a ring, two magical artifacts, which roared towards Yue Tian with a thought.

Body-refining cultivators are not common in the cultivation world, but their strength is widely acknowledged. At the same cultivation level, body-refining cultivators almost always completely defeat qi-refining cultivators.

However, as long as it is kept away from close range, no matter how powerful a body-refining cultivator is or how strong their physical defense is, as long as it is slowly worn down, it will eventually be worn down to death.

Of course, ordinary cultivators cannot do this. Only cultivators like Li Yunfan and Han Li, who have strong spiritual senses and can control multiple magical artifacts at the same time, have a chance to hold off the opponent's close-range movements.

If an ordinary cultivator did this, he would probably exhaust his spiritual sense and become a lamb to the slaughter before the other party even got close.

"roll!"

Just then, Yue Tian, ​​who was being attacked by the Ghost Shadow Six Demon Blades and two other magical artifacts, suddenly let out a roar. His spiritual power burst out and sent all the magical artifacts flying.

Li Yunfan stared intently and saw that Yue Tian's eyes were bloodshot, and a small bump had appeared on his forehead, as if something was about to grow out. On his exposed skin, scale-like things had also appeared, making him look like a humanoid monster at first glance.

The other party's astonishing transformation left Li Yunfan and the other cultivators present all looking shocked!

"There are only two late-stage cultivators who could push me to this point. One of them was killed by me when I was in the middle stage, and the other is you!" Yue Tian said slowly, his tone filled with bloodthirsty killing intent.

Upon hearing this, Li Yunfan's expression gradually became serious. Under his divine sense, he discovered that the other party's cultivation level after the transformation had reached the peak of the late Foundation Establishment stage, which was higher than his own.

Coupled with the opponent's terrifying physical strength, this battle was definitely the most dangerous one he had faced since entering the world of cultivation. A slight mistake could result in his death.
