It turns out I'm a second-generation demon.

Chapter 97 Reversal

"He..." Xia Xiaoxue murmured, "Is it okay?"

"It's amazing!" Liu Kongchao exclaimed.

"Is it possible...?" Thunder War Maiden's face lit up with anticipation, but it quickly dimmed again. She smiled bitterly and said, "What do you mean 'possible'? He only awakened half a month ago. He gathered their true energy and temporarily pushed his strength to the advanced employee level. But am I not an example?"

Even with the "Five-Second True Man" potion stimulating his potential, Li Xianyu was already at the peak of his life. However, Thunder War Maiden didn't believe he could defeat the successor of the demonic path, even though he was undeniably incredibly handsome for that brief moment.

Xia Xiaoxue glanced at the live stream chat during a break; most viewers were urging her to run away.

Broken Bridge and Lingering Snow: "Great opportunity! Streamer, quickly take your people and escape!"

Baby Doesn't Allow Poison: "Well, although abandoning your companions is a bit cruel, streamer, run! As long as you're alive, you can always find a way to fight again. You need to escape now and meet up with reinforcements."

Old Chang'an Youth: "Isn't this wrong? Abandoning our teammates?"

Lin Zichu: "What else can we do but run? The War Maiden is seriously injured, the other one is weak, and the streamer is also injured. They're useless to the situation if they stay here. That kid's willingness to sacrifice himself is creating an opportunity for the streamer and the others."

Although most people were just enjoying the spectacle, there were also quite a few who were worried about Baoze's team. Among them, those who had a grudge against the Ancient God Cult were frantically spamming the barrage, cursing the Ancient God Cult to have no sons and their whole families go to hell.

However, their righteous indignation was confined to the screen. The people present were the top combat force of the Ancient God Cult, and also the high-end combat force of the Bloodline Realm. Ordinary Bloodlines would never dare to confront them.

"Damn it, the evil ways of the demonic path are heinous. His successors are colluding with the ancient god sect, truly a lineage of evil."

"Has Baoze's reinforcements not arrived yet?"

"It can't be that fast. Didn't Xiaoxue say they were ambushed? I guess Baoze was caught off guard too."

Xia Xiaoxue quickly scanned the comments and agreed with them, whispering, "War Maiden, I'll take you away."

Thunder War Maiden gazed at the young man's tall and straight back, biting her lip: "He is my disciple. How can a master run away while the disciple stays behind? Whether he lives or dies, I will watch over him."

Liu Kongchao was taken aback: "Aren't you a couple?"

The long-legged beauty said menacingly, "Which eye saw that you were a couple?"

Liu Kongchao, with a look of certainty that he was destined to be alone, retorted, "I saw it with both eyes, you two were kissing just now."

Long-legged beauty: "Say another word and I'll kill you."

Liu Kongchao shrank back and remained silent.

While they were talking, Li Xianyu had already started fighting with Li Peiyun.

The strongest impression Li Peiyun gave Li Xianyu was his indifference. From beginning to end, he maintained a detached expression, not like an iceberg, but rather a calm composure that wouldn't falter even if Mount Tai collapsed before him. One could also call it arrogance, the kind of arrogance that looks down on everyone.

Compared to Li Xianyu's shallow resume, Li Peiyun's life experience can be described as full of ups and downs. Before the age of fifteen, he was the pride of the family, the star of the family. At the age of fifteen, he was personally expelled from the family by his ancestor, falling from heaven to dust. For the next ten years, he wandered the world, honing his Three Talents Sword Technique.

He was very composed and kept a low profile. If it weren't for the God of War trying to trap Baoze's people, he would have remained low-key until he mastered the Three Talents Sword Technique. At that time, he would remain silent until he made a stunning debut.

Upon noticing Li Xianyu approaching, he finally withdrew his gaze from the battle and glanced at him. In that single glance, Li Peiyun flicked his finger, and the flying swords that had been circling around him roared out, aiming straight for Li Xianyu's head.

"Clang!" The flying sword, capable of slicing through gold and jade, struck a patch of golden light, yet failed to penetrate the defense.

The young man, oblivious to his own mortality, seemed to possess a special protective artifact.

He had seen this magical artifact before; the woman he had fought earlier had the exact same protective golden aura, which had withstood three sword strikes from him before breaking through.

When Li Xianyu caught Thunder War Maiden, he first removed the Reverse Scale from his chest; otherwise, the sword blade striking him would have directly detonated his aura, killing the War Maiden instantly. He used his own body to absorb the damage in her place.

Thunder War Maiden was unaware that he possessed the same Reverse Scale protective artifact as herself.

But after the golden light shone on Li Xianyu, Thunder War Maiden, who had been paying close attention to the situation, noticed it, since she had the exact same protective artifact.

He clearly has magical artifacts protecting him, so why doesn't he use them...?

To save me...

The long-legged beauty bit her lip, her beautiful eyes filled with complex emotions.

Li Xianyu didn't give Li Peiyun a second chance with his sword. The moment the golden light deflected the flying sword, a layer of electric light surged around him, and his speed increased dramatically. He then used his Iron Mountain Lean to crash directly into Li Peiyun, a completely reckless fighting style.

We can't afford to linger; we need a quick victory. If we drag this out, he'll undoubtedly lose. We need to exploit his weaknesses and finish him off in one fell swoop.

Li Peiyun snorted coldly and delivered a powerful, head-on slash to Li Xianyu.

The protective golden light activated in response, forming an aura around Li Xianyu. The aura was shattered, unable to withstand the heavy sword strike. Li Xianyu took the blow head-on, suffering a fracture in half of his body. The heavy sword had no edge, but it was incredibly powerful when it struck a person.

Li Peiyun's right arm went numb, and she almost lost her grip on the heavy sword. The opponent's desperate Iron Mountain Lean was also a force to be reckoned with.

Don't you die?

The flying sword came whistling through the air, aiming straight for the back of Li Xianyu's head.

Even if you have self-healing abilities, I'll just take your head.

At this moment, Li Xianyu turned his head and spat out a stream of sword energy, which struck the flying sword and deflected its momentum. At the same time, he pointed a sword finger at Li Peiyun's dantian.

At this point, Li Peiyun's expression finally changed, and her composure vanished.

His target was obvious: my dantian (lower abdomen).

Why?

He knows my Achilles' heel!

A sharp clang rang out.

A layer of light blocked his fingertips, and a Buddhist bead hanging on Li Peiyun's chest lit up. This was a protective Buddhist bead that he had obtained from a high monk when he traveled to Dali many years ago. After mastering the heavy sword, he was confident that his defense was invincible, and the Buddhist bead had no use. Unexpectedly, it came in handy in this critical moment.

He had just breathed a sigh of relief when he suddenly saw a smug smile creep onto the young man's lips.

not good!

The next moment, a sharp finger strike pierced through his dantian and burst out from his back, creating a small crater in the ground behind him.

Li Peiyun's vision went black, a pungent taste rose in her throat, and she spat out a mouthful of blood.

The flying sword landed with a clang.

His internal organs felt like they were being burned, and his eight extraordinary meridians ached faintly, making it impossible for him to gather his true energy again. This injury would require him to recuperate for a long time.

An ordinary person whose dantian is damaged will at most experience a slight reduction in strength, but would never lose their fighting ability entirely like he did. Before mastering the Three Talents Sword Technique, the dantian is a fatal weakness—a secret known only to Li Peiyun himself.

"You..." Li Peiyun stared intently at Li Xianyu, unable to accept this ending.

Losing to an unknown nobody?!

"It's better to learn a variety of things than to learn one thing in one place," Li Xianyu grinned.

Let's learn about Kato Taka's finger techniques.

Baoze Group is full of talented people, each with unique skills, and when combined properly, they can produce amazing results. The two exchanged blows for only a few seconds, during which Li Xianyu used four moves, all of which were skills taught to him by the big shots.

Not far away, the three Thunder War Maidens stared wide-eyed, their minds still reeling, unable to accept the outcome.

Won?

Xia Xiaoxue didn't notice that the live stream was completely silent, with not a single comment. At this moment, she certainly wasn't in the mood to watch the live stream.

Blood Demon and Youmingyu both stopped fighting and looked over.

Blood Demon's expression changed drastically, his previous confidence vanished. He quickly disengaged from the battle and charged towards Li Peiyun. You Mingyu was a beat too slow, and the sadistic older sister swung her whip, wrapping it around Li Xianyu's waist and pulling him back.

She could tell that Li Xianyu was already at his limit.

"Boss, finish this quickly!" Blood Demon roared, "The situation is dire."
