Chapter 338 - 291: Killing Li Buan, the Level 50 Wooden Man Stake
Of course, Xu Qing heard Li Buan. He raised his head and opened his eyes, waking from his state of Cultivation. His gaze crossed numerous obstacles to land on Li Buan.
’A Great Scholar.’
Xu Qing could tell Li Buan’s Cultivation Realm with a single glance. The man was a true Great Scholar who had even stepped into the Perfect Law Realm.
In other words,
He was, without a doubt, a powerful enemy.
’This is good.’
Xu Qing’s expression was calm. He wasn’t the least bit intimidated by Li Buan’s powerful aura and strength; in fact, he already saw Li Buan as his prey. ’After killing Hong Dingtian, I used the Devouring Demon Technique, the Devouring Law, and the Great Devouring Technique to refine his Origin and Law. It allowed my Cultivation to reach Great Success in the Soul Law Realm.’
’This Great Scholar’s Cultivation is impressive, having reached the Perfect Law Realm. If I kill him, then devour and refine his Origin and Law, my own Cultivation is sure to advance.’
Furthermore,
During this time,
Xu Qing had not made an appearance. He remained in secluded Cultivation within the rest chamber of Cangzhou Battleship One. He had already recovered from the aftereffects and side effects of using the Great Devouring Technique to refine Hong Dingtian’s Origin and Law, and he was basically fine now.
However,
Xu Qing could feel that if he didn’t exercise restraint and recklessly used the Great Devouring Technique to devour the Ten Thousand Spirits to raise his Cultivation, it would inevitably lead to a backlash.
When that time came,
He would be in serious trouble.
HUM!
The next moment,
Xu Qing no longer hesitated. With a thought, he activated the ability of his Level 50 Thousand-Faced Mask and transformed into his previous disguise: the Hero, Huo Yuanjia.
Then,
Xu Qing took a single step forward, and his figure vanished.
「The scene shifted.」
Xu Qing had appeared on the battlefield.
"That’s..."
"He appeared."
"It’s really him."
"Huo Yuanjia!"
"..."
Wang Miao and the others cried out in shock.
"So you’ve finally shown yourself."
Li Buan’s gaze fell upon Xu Qing, a faint smile gracing his aged features. He sized Xu Qing up and down a few times before speaking, a smirk playing on his lips. "Why do I have this nagging feeling that your current appearance isn’t your true face?"
"A face is just a mask. Why be so concerned with it?"
Xu Qing replied flatly.
"You’ve come to die?"
Xu Qing asked.
"Hahaha..."
Li Buan laughed heartily. "It’s not yet certain who will die today."
「Meanwhile, inside the Imperial Palace Hall.」
"He’s appeared."
"Good!"
"He really showed up."
"..."
In the Imperial Court,
The Civil and Military Ministers cried out in surprise.
"It’s good that he has appeared."
A smile spread across Xiao Yin’s face. He bowed to Zhou Di with clasped hands and said, "Your Majesty, it is time for me to make my move."
"Granted,"
Zhou Di said.
HUM!
The moment the word was spoken,
Xiao Yin’s figure vanished into thin air.
「Outside the city.」
「On the battlefield.」
"Winds, rise! Clouds, gather! Thunder, fall!"
RUMBLE!!!
Li Buan was the first to strike. With just a few words, he altered the very heavens, truly commanding the wind and rain. Countless thunderbolts, like so many flood dragons, descended to annihilate Xu Qing.
CLANG! CLANG! CLANG!!!
The ringing of swords echoed without end.
With a mere thought, Xu Qing summoned a host of Level 50 items that floated around him, forming a Law Domain to protect him.
The Level 50 Iron Sword, the Level 50 Wandering Dragon Sword, and the Level 50 Copper Coin Sword moved like streams of draconic Sword Light, swimming through the air around Xu Qing.
As a result,
The countless thunderbolts descending from the sky were all blocked outside his Law Domain.
"A Law Domain."
Li Buan frowned.
It was worth noting that
Xu Qing’s current Cultivation and Realm had already reached Great Success in the Soul Law Realm. Therefore, in his hands, these Level 50 items could unleash even greater Mighty Power.
By extension,
The Twelve-layered Law Domain Xu Qing now wielded was far stronger and more difficult to break. His power had already surpassed what it was during his battle with Hong Dingtian.
In other words,
If Li Buan couldn’t even break Xu Qing’s Twelve-layered Law Domain, there was no hope of harming him.
In fact,
From their initial exchange,
Li Buan had already sensed this.
"Huu..."
Li Buan took a deep breath. "Huo Yuanjia, I will use a single technique. After this one move, we will decide victory and defeat, life and death."
"Fine."
Xu Qing just smiled. "As you wish."
"Righteous Qi pervades the Heavens and the Earth, bestowing form on all things..."
Li Buan slowly recited the Song of Righteousness. Most importantly, every word and every verse he chanted manifested into physical reality.
HUM! HUM! HUM!!!
In that instant,
The Confucian Saint Illusion behind Li Buan dissipated as the Mount Book and Sea of Literature began to boil. An immeasurable amount of Vast Righteous Qi condensed, and as he continued to chant the Song of Righteousness, it evolved—giving birth to mountains, rivers, continents, and the Ten Thousand Spirits...
Clearly,
Li Buan was pushing his power and Mighty Power to their absolute peak, even burning the last embers of his life. He was transforming his very being into Vast Righteous Qi, using it to manifest all of creation...
He was strong.
Incredibly strong.
At this moment,
Li Buan was a world unto himself.
"Huu..."
Xu Qing took a deep breath, feeling a sliver of pressure himself.
"Fall!"
BOOM!
CRACK!!!
Li Buan gave a low shout. Everything condensed, transforming into the most extreme beam of light. This light was called the Light of Righteousness, but it could also be called the Light of the World, or even: the Light of Annihilation.
This beam of light was the culmination of Li Buan’s power—his strongest attack, his ultimate technique—and it shot toward Xu Qing.
