Chapter 38 Close-quarters Combat Techniques Break, Xu Cheng'an Turns Pale
Chapter 38 Close-quarters Combat Techniques Break, Xu Cheng'an Turns Pale
The wind suddenly picked up at the entrance to Black Stone Mountain.
Dust was stirred up by the two spiritual pressures and swirled in the center of the open space.
On one side was Xu Cheng'an, a direct descendant of the Xu family in the county town. He was at the sixth level of Qi Refining, holding a mid-grade magic weapon, a folding fan, his robes fluttering, and his expression arrogant.
On one side stood Li Xuan, the young patriarch of the Li family, dressed in white. His aura was calm and restrained, and his gaze was as still as water.
The onlookers held their breath in awe.
Everyone knows that this battle will determine whether the Xu family's suppression of the mountain will succeed, and it will also determine whether the Li family's current prestige can continue to rise.
⸻
Xu Chengan made the first move.
"If you want to lose, I'll grant your wish."
Before he finished speaking, he suddenly unfolded the folding fan in his hand, and with the infusion of spiritual power, the fan ribs glowed with a blue light.
call--
A wind blade, about ten feet long, slashed through the air at an astonishing speed, sending sand and gravel flying wherever it passed, leaving shallow marks on the ground.
Many of the onlookers' expressions changed drastically.
This technique far surpasses the methods of ordinary Qi cultivators in Qingyun County.
Li Yuanshan's legs went weak at the sight.
"If this hits hard, it'll split the person apart..."
Li Yuanlie's eyes lit up.
"That's interesting."
⸻
Facing the oncoming wind blades, Li Xuan advanced instead of retreating.
A burst of spiritual energy erupted beneath his feet, propelling him forward.
The wind blade grazed almost to his shoulder, cleaving a boulder behind him in two, sending fragments flying.
A gasp of surprise immediately rang out from the crowd.
"They dodged it?!"
"So close?"
Xu Chengan's eyes narrowed slightly.
He hadn't expected that Li Xuan would dare to evade the attack in this way.
When faced with magic, the first reaction of ordinary people is to keep their distance.
Li Xuan, however, did the exact opposite.
⸻
"Again."
Xu Chengan snorted coldly and waved his folding fan repeatedly.
Swish!Swish!Swish!
Three wind blades slashed out, blocking Li Xuan's escape routes to the left and right, while another blade aimed directly at his chest from the front.
This is to force Li Xuan to take the hit head-on.
Li Xuan's eyes flashed, and his spiritual energy suddenly began to circulate.
When the Green Wood Nourishing Essence Technique is pushed to its limit, spiritual energy surges through the meridians.
The next moment, he suddenly ducked and emerged from between the two wind blades. His clothes on his shoulder were ripped open, and blood seeped from his skin, but his speed did not decrease in the slightest.
He raised his hand and slapped the third wind blade away, sending it flying past his ear.
The entire audience erupted in uproar!
"What kind of movement technique is that?"
"It's not his movement technique, it's that his calculations were too precise!"
Zhao Yuancheng felt a chill run down his spine.
This wasn't a direct assault; it was a calculated move based on Xu Cheng'an's attack trajectory.
⸻
The two were now less than three steps apart.
Xu Cheng'an's expression finally changed.
He is skilled in magic and magical artifacts, and is most afraid of being approached.
"Get out of here!"
The folding fan closed, transforming into a short stick aimed directly at Li Xuan's throat.
The tip of the fan flashed with a cold light, concealing a sharp thorn.
This attack was extremely vicious.
Li Xuan raised his arm and blocked.
clang!
The fan bone struck his arm guard, causing a slight numbness in his arm.
Xu Chengan smoothly raised his leg and swept it horizontally, the movement ruthless and clean, clearly showing that he had also trained in close combat.
But Li Xuan was faster than him.
He stepped to the side to avoid a kick, and his shoulder slammed into Xu Chengan's chest.
boom!
With a muffled thud, Xu Chengan staggered back three steps, his blood churning, and for the first time, a look of shock and anger appeared on his face.
⸻
"You dare hit me?!"
He grew up in the county town and his battles with others were mostly about exchanging spells and clashing magical artifacts. He had never seen such a close-quarters, brutal fighting style before.
Li Yuanlie watched from the side and burst into laughter.
"good!"
"Just keep fighting like this!"
"Press on top and fuck them hard!"
Li Yuanshan's mouth twitched.
What are you so excited about?
⸻
Xu Cheng'an's anger surged, and his Qi Refining Level 6 spiritual power erupted in full force.
A sudden gust of wind arose around him, causing his sleeves to billow.
He suddenly leaped up, unfolded his folding fan, and the runes on the fan surface lit up.
"Wind Slash!"
Three more solid cyan wind blades instantly formed and crashed down in a triangular formation.
Even Zhou Yue nodded slightly at this move.
Although Xu Cheng'an was impetuous, he was quite talented.
This move already demonstrates a mastery of the Xu family's techniques.
⸻
Li Tianheng's gaze darkened slightly.
Even a Qi Refining Stage 5 cultivator would find it difficult to withstand this attack head-on.
Li Xuan, however, remained standing in place without retreating.
Just as the wind blade was about to strike him, he put his hands together and frantically gathered spiritual energy within his body.
Aoki's finger!
call out!
A beam of cyan energy shot out, striking the very center of the wind blade at the very front.
boom!
The wind blades were actually shattered by the attack.
The other two powerful forces were also deflected, passing by Li Xuan and carving two long trenches in the ground.
Smoke and dust rose everywhere.
The entire room fell into a deathly silence.
For the first time, the anger on Xu Cheng'an's face turned into shock.
"You...broke my spell?"
⸻
Li Xuan shook his numb fingers and spoke calmly:
"The magic of the county town is nothing special."
One sentence ignited the entire audience.
The onlookers' eyes lit up.
The cultivators of Qingyun County have been suppressed by the people of the county city for too long.
Now someone has finally spoken out in public.
⸻
Xu Cheng'an's face flushed red, and his killing intent surged.
"Li Xuan!"
"You're asking for it!"
He simultaneously formed hand seals, causing the folding fan to rise into the air, and the surrounding wind spirit energy gathered wildly.
Clearly, they're about to use their real trump card.
Zhou Yue frowned slightly, but did not stop him.
Since we've already made our move, we must win.
⸻
Li Xuan watched this scene with a calm gaze.
He had just broken through several moves and had already tested Xu Chengan's strengths and weaknesses.
His magic is good, his magical artifacts are good, and his cultivation level is high.
pity--
There is too little real-world experience.
When things are going well, they are full of energy, but once they encounter setbacks, they become flustered.
In a battle between cultivators, the one whose mind is disturbed will be defeated.
⸻
The system panel in my mind flickered slightly.
[Suppress the aura of the city's pride]
[Family Luck +11]
[Current Luck: 409]
[Mission Progress: Defeat Xu Cheng'an (63%)]
Li Xuan's lips curled up slightly.
The four hundred years of good fortune have arrived.
Then this battle should come to an end.
He took a step forward, his spiritual power surged again, and he pressed directly against Xu Cheng'an.
The air in front of the mountain gate suddenly tightened.
Everyone realized—
The real game-changer is here.
