Pei Xuanjing’s eyebrows knitted slightly, a hint of caution surfacing in his eyes.
Of course, his caution did not stem from the young man, but rather from the unremarkable old man accompanying him.
Pei Xuanjing detected a hint of danger from the latter and given his current strength, the only individuals capable of posing a threat to him were likely those of the Heavenly Rank.
Unexpectedly, he had stumbled upon a Heavenly Rank powerhouse here.
However, upon reflection, Li Tiange, being the most outstanding prodigy of the Da Li Dynasty at present, who stepped into the third stage of Martial Arts at the age of twenty, was taken as a disciple by the royal adviser of Da Li, and was known as the top of the younger generation in Da Li Dynasty.
A young powerhouse like this, a future seed of the Heavenly Rank, having a
Heavenly Rank powerhouse as a Taoist protector, was not surprising.
Even so, what about a Heavenly Rank powerhouse?
Pei Xuanjing was keen to gauge precisely how powerful this Heavenly Rank powerhouse was.
“Pei Min?”
Li Tiange began to speak.
“Indeed!”
Pei Xuanjing replied calmly, nodding his head.
“This Prince heard of a genius emerging from Yunzhong, and originally thought that he would have to go to the Capital of the Tang Dynasty next year to meet him, but he did not expect you to dare to enter the grasslands alone.” Li Tiange boomed in a deep voice.
Naturally, Li Tiange had received word of the emergence of a peerless genius in Yunzhong County.
However, he had not thought that the other party would not only not stay in Yunzhong for cultivation but also dare to venture into the grasslands alone and recklessly kill the people of Da Li.
At first, when he heard the news, Li Tiange was quite surprised, but after confirming it, he decided to come and meet the other party himself.
“So what?” Pei Xuanjing retorted.
Li Tiange sneered: “So, this Prince wants to see what sets you apart?”
He wanted to see what made this young genius, whom many people had praised, capable of competing against him, so special.
Moreover, if he could kill him, it would not only magnify his fame but also rid Da Li of a potential future threat.
“Are you going to attack?” Pei Xuanjing smirked, shaking his head and said, “You are no match for me.”
He could sense that Li Tiange was quite strong amongst his peers, so much so that among the people at Yunzhong Academy, there probably wasn’t anyone who could compete against him.
Even if Mr. Pei Laozhu, who had been immersed in the third stage of Martial Arts for decades, were to make a move, the outcome of the battle would still be uncertain.
However, to Pei Xuanjing, it did not equate to much.
If his opponent had just stepped into the Qi Realm, Pei Xuanjing might have been interested in exchanging a few blows.
But now having entered the Gang Qi Realm, and with the prospect of soon reaching the full manifestation of Gang Qi, Pei Xuanjing simply didn’t feel like making a move.
It was the elderly man standing behind him, suspected to be of Heavenly Rank, who actually intrigued him.
Although Pei Xuanjing was simply stating the facts, his words sounded like an insult to Li Tiange’s ears, making him immensely angry.
“Arrogant!” Li Tiange roared in anger: “Never has anyone dared to insult this Prince so!”
Even though he hailed from a collateral line of the royal family, because of his exceptional talents, Li Tiange had experienced smooth sailing all along. Typically, he was the one looking down on others, being looked down upon in return was a first for him.
But Pei Xuanjing did not care about his reaction, staying silent with a smile on his face.
This attitude enraged Li Tiange further, his face darkened and his intimidating prowess gradually ascended, leaving a dreadful aura in the air.
In an instant, the grasslands were filled with an air of killing intent and desolation, and wild winds were blowing all over.
Pei Xuanjing, however, was completely undeterred by this terrifying aura, his smile faded, and he coldly spoke, “Are you seeking death?”
The chill in his voice was bone-piercing. Even the normally indifferent white-haired elder couldn’t help but knit his brows. He found that Pei
Xuanjing’s strength seemed to be different from the rumors – it seemed even stronger.
But at this point, Li Tiange was already too enraged to think clearly. After hearing this threat from Pei Xuanjing, he roared, “To the death!”
True Qi flowed within his body, and Gang Qi emanated from his hands, enveloping the Curved Blade he held, emitting a chilling cutting edge.
The Martial Arts third stage, the Gang Qi Realm, allowed him to release his Gang Qi externally.
At the age of twenty, he possessed such a cultivation level, surpassing many people, and even old powerhouses could feel ashamed of their inferiority.
Boom!
He leaped several meters into the sky holding his Curved Blade tightly in both hands. Countless blade auras spread across the sky, slicing towards Pei Xuanjing.
“Sigh,” Pei Xuanjing sighed faintly.
The saying goes, “Good words are futile for those beckoning death.”
He had no intention of killing the other party initially, but since the other party was seeking death, Pei Xuanjing would not show mercy.
Boom!
A tremendous momentum suddenly erupted. Pei Xuanjing’s robust True Qi circulated around him, causing the surroundings winds to swirl, invoking the power of Wind and Thunder.
With his left hand behind his back, he slowly raised his right hand, his fingers forming into a palm shape, he gathered countless flashes of purple-blue thunderlight and, without any hesitation, slapped down towards Li Tiange.
Shenxiao Thunder Palm!
Pei Xuanjing’s clothes fluttered, his upright body seemed immovable like a mountain.
The air around him emitted continual explosive sounds as he struck the palm, the aura surged violently, like a storm of thunderbolts, creating a magnificent sight.
Even above him, the heavens changed, the originally clear sky seemed to be filled with dark clouds, thunder and lightning coming in and out of existence.
Li Tiange’s face changed dramatically. He had not expected Pei Xuanjing’s palm strike to bear such terrifying power.
He felt as if a vast power was rushing towards him. He felt like a lone sheep isolated amidst a pack of wolves, in immense danger, potentially facing death at any moment.
Bang!
The tremendous force struck Li Tiange’s body, making him feel as if he was hit by a considerable attack. His hairs stood on end, his muscles, skin, and organs shattered. He spat mouthfuls of fresh blood and flew backward.
Pei Xuanjing’s figure blurred and with a single leap, he directly landed a kick on Li Tiange’s chest. He turned pale and spat out several mouthfuls of fresh blood.
Just one strike!
With just one strike, Pei Xuanjing had critically wounded Li Tiange, leaving him without any combat power.
If such news were to get out, it would probably cause a sensation in the world.
It should be known that with Li Tiange’s strength, there were only a few people in the younger generation of the empire who were confident of defeating him.
Yet, to defeat him so cleanly and effortlessly, nobody else could.
“What a waste!” Pei Xuanjing sighed as he looked at the seriously injured Li Tiange beneath his feet: “I really do not understand why you would choose a path leading to your own death.”
Spit!
Upon hearing Pei Xuanjing’s words, Li Tiange’s anger got the better of him, draining the color from his face.
“Young man, stop now,” advised the white-haired elder who had accompanied Li Tiange.
Pei Xuanjing, indifferent to the elder’s threats, calmly said, “I said before, if one dares to make a move, one should be prepared to face death.”
“You arrogant fool, how dare you!” The white-haired elder’s face changed color dramatically. He could not let Li Tiange die here.
“Heh,” Pei Xuanjing snickered, extending his fingers like a sword, ready to strike..
