Chapter 536: This Child Cannot Be Kept! [Third Update]
Li Xiaoyao's move, in the eyes of the audience, was undoubtedly akin to seeking death.
He dared to catch a full-powered punch from a Spirit Condensation Realm powerhouse with his bare hand.
But many others admired him for it. Regardless of whether Li Xiaoyao had the ability, at least he had the courage to fight back against Zhou Lu's attack—a feat that alone was worth pride.
However, what Li Xiaoyao wanted was more than just pride.
"Bang!"
The dull sound of fist meeting hand emanated from the clash between the two.
The next second, Li Xiaoyao's body was blasted away like a cannonball, creating a large crater in the ground, dust swirling around it.
Zhou Lu looked at his fist and smiled proudly, saying, "You little bastard, who do you think you are? Worthy of clashing with me?"
The surrounding crowd sighed repeatedly, for Li Xiaoyao being blasted to death by a punch seemed to have been expected all along.
Those entangled in the fierce battle had been paying attention to the commotion, and upon seeing Li Xiaoyao being blasted away, Li Pingshuang's eyes flared with rage, while Nangong Jing was slightly startled, then frowned secretly, "Dead?"
Zhou Lu turned around, facing the combatants, and announced, "Li Xiaoyao is dead!"
"Pat pat~"
Just as his words fell, the sound of dusting off clothes suddenly came from the distant crater.
All eyes refocused in tension, fixated on the scene.
A figure, utilizing the faint moonlight, slowly emerged from the crater.
"It seems I underestimated your strength," Li Xiaoyao's voice, tinged with a hint of regret, slowly rose.
In fact, it wasn't Zhou Lu's strength he had underestimated, but his own.
With his cultivation level surging, his Golden Body not only repaired itself but his physical strength skyrocketed several times over. In such a state, Li Xiaoyao couldn't precisely control his own strength.
That punch he just threw used only fifty percent of his strength, but clearly, that fifty percent was not enough to resist the opponent's attack.
Although he had taken a bit of a disadvantage, Li Xiaoyao was at least certain about the extent of his current strength.
Li Xiaoyao slowly walked out of the crater, his gaze cold, looking at the astonished Zhou Lu.
Li Xiaoyao stood still, his neck rotating slightly, producing a series of cracking sounds. He clenched his fists, gave a slight shudder, and the tattered clothes on his body instantly fell off.
His near-perfect physique, each muscle containing endless power, shone under the moonlight like a deity.
"He...he's still alive!"
"How is that possible?"
"It can't be! Zhou Lu is of the Spirit Condensation Realm, how could Li Xiaoyao possibly withstand his attack unscathed?"
Voices filled with disbelief rose up one after another.
Apparently, Li Xiaoyao being killed by a single punch was in line with their expectations. The scene before them shattered their preconceptions.
After all, Li Xiaoyao was too young, while Zhou Lu was a Cultivator of the Spirit Condensation Realm; the gap between them was vast like a chasm.
Those engaged in the fierce battle also had their pupils constrict upon witnessing this scene.
"Impossible!" the most incredulous of all was Zhou Lu.
That punch, which used seventy percent of his power, was enough to kill a peak Golden Core Realm Cultivator with a single blow.
He couldn't see through Li Xiaoyao's exact cultivation level, but he was certain that Li Xiaoyao had not reached the Golden Core Realm.
A Cultivator who hadn't even achieved the Golden Core Realm actually withstood seventy percent of his power? Even Zhou Lu was somewhat baffled now.
"A magical treasure, this kid must have a magical treasure on him!" Zhou Lu's eyes shone sharply, for only this could explain everything; otherwise, none of it made any sense.
"Zhou Lu, kill him quickly, this boy must not be spared!" Yuan Ling and his two companions almost shouted in unison.
Even in the midst of attacks from Spirit Condensation Realm powerhouses, he had survived; they saw danger emanating from Li Xiaoyao.
As powerhouses, what they feared most were things beyond their control.
Li Xiaoyao had slipped from their grasp.
Such a cultivator, if left to grow, would be truly terrifying.
Fail to kill him today, and one day, Li Xiaoyao will surely seek vengeance.
And when that day comes, even the Eight Great Sects of Xuan Country might not withstand such retaliation.
"You little bastard, I don't know what treasure you used to block my attack, but before absolute power, any external force is but a passing cloud."
"I said before, if you dare step out of the Human realm, I will tear you to pieces! Do you really think I was just playing with words?"
Li Xiaoyao's face held a faint expression, not showing any fear of his threats; as he slowly approached him, he said, "I stepped out of the Human Realm for one thing."
"What thing?" Zhou Lu blurted out.
Li Xiaoyao's face suddenly turned cold, and he said, "To kill you!"
"Kill me?" Zhou Lu was stunned, then burst into loud laughter, "Hahaha, how ridiculous. With your capabilities, you dare to speak of killing me? I only used seventy percent of my power with that one punch. This time, I won't hold back,"
"A frog in a well," Li Xiaoyao shook his head in disdain, "You are like a frog looking at the sky from the bottom of a well; how could you possibly know my capabilities?"
"You little bastard, once I kill you and confine your soul, let's see if you can still be so arrogant!" Zhou Lu's face was fierce, his foot scraping against the ground produced sonic booms, and his whole being shot towards Li Xiaoyao like an unsheathed sword.
Li Xiaoyao did not retreat but instead advanced, attempting to clash with Zhou Lu with the most overbearing stance.
"Such an ignorant youth, to once again dare use his flesh to meet him head-on."
"Zhou Lu used only seventy percent of his power and still sent Li Xiaoyao flying. Under his full power this time, he'll probably explode Li Xiaoyao with one punch."
"Boom!"
As their fists and palms collided once again, Li Xiaoyao's body merely shook, while Zhou Lu, in contrast, was forced to take several steps back to steady himself.
This scene startled everyone, leaving them in shock.
"What!"
"He, he blocked it!"
"It's Zhou Lu who is retreating!"
It was clear to anyone who wasn't blind that Zhou Lu had been at a disadvantage in their recent exchange.
"How can this be?" Zhou Lu's eyes nearly split with rage; he had used all his strength, and yet, it was himself who had been repelled!
Zhou Lu found this outcome unacceptable.
Yuan Ling, seeing this scene, felt an even stronger desire to kill. With a gesture, he blocked Nangong Jing's attack and pushed him hundreds of meters away. Then, with a flicker, he turned into a gust of black wind in the night, aiming for Li Xiaoyao.
"This boy cannot be left alive!"
Killing intent flickered intensely in Yuan Ling's eyes. The formidable power Li Xiaoyao kept displaying only intensified his desire to kill.
"Hm?" Li Xiaoyao, sensing the vigor sweeping in from behind, immediately turned around and sent out a palm strike.
"Seeking death!" Yuan Ling's eyes suddenly widened, his thumb and forefinger lightly pinched together, releasing a golden lion seal that shot forth. Instantly, it enveloped Li Xiaoyao, smashing him into the ground.
"Roar!"
The ground caved in, and the lion seal smashed into it, creating a huge crater shaped like a handprint.
At that moment, the space became deathly silent. Thousands of gazes converged on the massive pit below the handprint.
