This is the true immortal of the Taoist sect.

Qiu Wanli paused, a dazzling light flashing in his eyes.

He showed no fear whatsoever; on the contrary, his fighting spirit intensified.

During their exchange of blows, Qiu Wanli noticed that Li Daoxuan didn't seem to be good at fighting, but he learned very quickly.

Moreover, Li Daoxuan never showed any sign of exerting his full strength from beginning to end.

As expected, Li Daoxuan had been hiding his true strength.

Qiu Wanli said excitedly:

"That's right, I'll give it my all. Even if I die by your hand, I will have no regrets..."

Li Daoxuan gave him a deep look and sighed.

His aura gradually changed.

"You said it yourself, so don't blame me if you die..."

Qiu Wanli didn't speak, but the fighting spirit emanating from him was the best answer.

Li Daoxuan let out a long sigh of relief and began to take things seriously.

Qiu Wanli laughed three times, then raised his head and shouted:

"That's great, come on..."

The tiger roared to the sky, and a wisp of light appeared on Qiu Wanli's body as his true energy condensed, almost taking form.

A terrifying burst of true energy erupted from his body, converging entirely on Qiu Wanli's right fist.

If a knowledgeable martial artist were present at this moment, they would recognize that Qiu Wanli was using his signature move that had made him famous throughout the world—the White Tiger Roaring Heaven Fist.

More than ten years ago, Qiu Wanli fought a battle where he single-handedly fought eight junior grandmasters. Under the White Tiger Roaring Heaven Fist, five of them were killed and three were crippled.

Qiu Wanli rose to the rank of a sixth-level grandmaster in this battle, becoming famous throughout the martial arts world.

Li Daoxuan naturally didn't know any of this, but he could tell the depth of the punch.

This power has long surpassed the limits of ordinary martial arts, and contains a trace of divine will to command heaven and earth. It incorporates the power of heaven and earth into one's body and integrates it into the fist technique. It not only possesses terrifying destructive power that shakes the heavens and the earth, but can also crush the enemy's mind and cause them to collapse before the battle even begins.

Unfortunately, Qiu Wanli encountered Li Daoxuan instead.

"Mr. Li, how about we exchange punches?"

Qiu Wanli's punching power had reached its limit.

Another talisman appeared in Li Daoxuan's hand; it was the Five Thunder Talisman.

Upon hearing Qiu Wanli's suggestion, Li Daoxuan simply said one word, "Okay."

Without the slightest hesitation, Qiu Wanli's waist and stance became one, his blood surged, and his qi and blood mixed with true qi burst forth.

The power of heaven and earth was affected and began to converge from all directions.

A white tiger, appearing and disappearing in the distance, roared to the sky.

Qiu Wanli roared, his voice shaking heaven and earth:

"Come...to fight..."

With a single punch, everything in front of him shattered.

The white tiger pounced, bringing with it an overwhelming murderous aura.

Li Daoxuan stood calmly, as immovable as a mountain.

With his left hand he held a talisman, and with his right hand he made the Five Thunder Spell.

His body was filled with surging magical power, and a dazzling golden light shone from his body.

"By the decree of the Heavenly Venerable Dao Xuan, the Five Thunders of the Divine Firmament shall sweep away all evil! So be it!"

The talisman spontaneously combusted, and the decree was transmitted to heaven and earth.

By imperial decree, the Five Thunderbolts descended from the heavens.

"boom..."

All things in heaven and earth submit to it.

Above the clouds, a bolt of purple-blue lightning descended from the sky.

The white tiger that had pounced in front of it suddenly stopped, and as if it possessed intelligence, it looked up at the sky.

The blinding lightning made Qiu Wanli instinctively raise his hand to shield his eyes.

Immediately afterwards, an irresistible force swept over them.

Thunder roared down, and the white tiger's phantom image vanished inch by inch.

Qiu Wanli felt a numbness all over his body, followed by a sharp pain as if his flesh was being torn apart, as if a giant hammer had smashed into his chest with immense force.

"puff..."

He coughed up a mouthful of blood, and his protective aura was instantly shattered.

His body flew backward and he fell into the deep pit again.

Qiu Wanli was horrified and didn't even care about his injuries; only one thought occupied his mind.

"What kind of martial art is this? What kind of martial art can summon heavenly lightning?"

Qiu Wanli lay in the deep pit, feeling that his entire understanding had been completely shattered.

He considered himself invincible, though he had suffered defeats before, but never before had he been so terrified as he was this time.

The moment the thunder struck from the sky, Qiu Wanli even felt as if he were standing not with a human being, but with a legendary immortal or god.

How could humans possibly be a match for gods and immortals?

"Brother Qiu, how about we call it quits here?"

Just as Qiu Wanli's thoughts were becoming increasingly chaotic, Li Daoxuan's voice suddenly rang out, pulling him back from his confused state.

Qiu Wanli struggled to get up, sat at the bottom of the pit and looked up at Li Daoxuan. Behind him was a sky full of dark clouds, and within the clouds, there were still snakes of lightning, rumbling like the might of heaven.

Qiu Wanli swallowed the blood in his mouth, seemingly wanting to say something tough, but no matter what he said, he couldn't get the words out.

Seeing this, Li Daoxuan smiled and said:

"Brother Qiu, there's no need to take it to heart. I'm not on the same path as you, so we can't be compared."

After saying that, Li Daoxuan turned around, leaving Qiu Wanli with only his back view.

But the gentleness in his tone vanished, replaced by a blatant threat.

"I hope Brother Qiu will tell Prince Jin when he returns that although I have a good temper, I also have my limits..."

That's all I have to say. Farewell...

Li Daoxuan ignored him and took a step, appearing in the distance. His figure quickly disappeared into the devastated forest.

Qiu Wanli finally climbed out of the deep pit, his eyes still filled with disbelief and horror.

Although he was not seriously injured, Li Daoxuan's method of summoning lightning by raising his hand was truly astonishing.

The psychological impact of this method was far greater than the physical harm it caused him.

This caused the Grandmaster-level martial artist to completely lose the courage to continue fighting Li Daoxuan.

Gazing in the direction where Li Daoxuan had disappeared, Qiu Wanli took a deep breath, his eyes unreadable, and murmured:

"This person... is not to be trifled with..."

After leaving those words, Qiu Wanli had no more intention to test the waters and left Anyi County with a sense of awe.

Little did he know that the only reason he was still alive was because Li Daoxuan was unwilling to kill indiscriminately.

Qiu Wanli never showed any killing intent towards him from beginning to end. Instead, he sparred with Li Daoxuan with the pure fighting spirit of a martial artist.

Even if he unleashes his full power at the end, his goal is not to kill him.

Since that's the case, Li Daoxuan had no intention of killing him.

After all, he wasn't a bloodthirsty demon. He couldn't have been so timid in his previous life and become arrogant just because he gained some power, could he?

In a way, Li Daoxuan should thank Qiu Wanli, as it was Qiu Wanli who gave him a clearer understanding of the power system of this world.

A sixth-realm master already possesses the ability to influence the world around them, so what happens when they reach the seventh realm?

It is estimated that a casual move by a Grandmaster of the Seventh Realm can no longer be called martial arts, but rather a supernatural power similar to Taoist magic, possessing certain extraordinary abilities.

Based on this calculation, Li Daoxuan felt that his current strength should be above the sixth realm. As for whether he could defeat someone in the seventh realm, only time would tell.

Of course, this refers to his own cultivation level, talismans, incantations, and other strengths.

If we add the Soul-Suppressing Bell and the Taiyi Xuanhuang Cauldron, the situation would probably be quite different.
