Chapter 178: I Really Want to Beat Up You Both
"Li Yinxue, why are you here?" Xuan Chi frowned as he looked at the woman overflowing with chilling aura not far away, her presence seemingly naturally antagonistic to the fiery energy he exuded.
Undying Solar Body, Lunar Ice Body, two extraordinary Taoist Bodies had appeared all at once, truly showing the profound heritage of the Wuji Dao Sect.
"Why, if Xuan Chi can be here, can't I, Li Yinxue, be here?" the newcomer said with a playful laugh.
Xuan Chi frowned again but said nothing.
"Didn't expect Senior Sister Li Yinxue to come; she's also a talented leader. I wonder what she's doing here?" Stay connected through empire
"Sister Li Yinxue and Brother Xuan Chi don't get along, probably here to enjoy the show."
"If that's the case, then there will be quite a spectacle to see!"
Many talented disciples murmured.
"So you are Yang Ji? Hmm! Not bad, not bad; not only do you look handsome, but your temperament is also decent. Facing Xuan Chi without even blinking, impressive, impressive!" Li Yinxue said with a smile, unabashedly sizing up Yang Ji.
"You flatter me!" Yang Ji, seeing no ill intent from her, also replied with a smile.
"Tsk, you, don't you even know how to call someone sister?" Li Yinxue wrinkled her cute nose, feigning anger, "With such poor manners, no wonder Xuan Chi wants to beat you up."
"Beat me? Among my peers, there has yet to be anyone who can beat me!" Yang Ji replied with a slight smile, his voice even-keeled.
Those understated words accentuated his powerful self-confidence.
Li Yinxue's gaze flickered, giving Yang Ji a deep look, "You're pretty confident for someone facing Xuan Chi, a leader among talents. Do you know what a 'leader' means? Leader-level means the strength has reached that of past True Disciples. Now you understand, don't you?"
"Understood, but my previous words still stand!" Yang Ji said with a smile.
"Ha, sharp-tongued! Now, I'm quite curious about your strength!" Li Yinxue said with a smile, then turned to Xuan Chi and said, "Xuan Chi, beat him up for me. You've been wanting to become Taoist partners with me, haven't you? If you can beat him to the point where he's scrambling for his teeth, I might consider it."
Xuan Chi's body trembled slightly, his eyes glinting as he looked at Li Yinxue, his pupils involuntarily dilating.
"What? I thought they were natural enemies. Turns out Brother Xuan Chi actually has intentions towards Senior Sister Li Yinxue? One has the Undying Solar Body, the other the Lunar Ice Body, if they were to unite, could they possibly give birth to the legendary supremely powerful Yin-Yang Body?" a disciple exclaimed in surprise.
"I bet they could. If they were to unite, I believe the sect would also be happy to see it!" another disciple nodded.
"This just got interesting! By the looks of it, Brother Xuan Chi is really about to make a move. If I were under such 'temptation,' I'd act too."
"Idiot, can a few words from a woman really make you lose your reason? But then again, if it were me… I guess... I'd also make a move! After all, Senior Sister Li Yinxue is too enticing."
"If you want to die, don't drag me with you, keep your distance!" A disciple's face changed at the words, quickly moving away to avoid being implicated.
"You sure talk big, saying no one at your level can beat you? Now I will beat you!" Xuan Chi said fiercely. "You think you're so great? You're just an ordinary person favored by the elders."
"Whether I am an ordinary person, a test will tell," Yang Ji said with a calm smile, his aura suddenly surging. Xuan Chi was a leader among talents, and it seemed like a good opportunity to test himself. A talent must shine brightly to gain more benefits.
He understood this truth very well, having followed it all his life.
Defeating Xuan Chi would greatly enhance both his reputation and prestige.
In the future, should he become a True Disciple and establish his own Heavenly Domain, calling for talents will bring countless to his side. At that time, he could truly build up his own force, no longer to be underestimated.
By then, it's expected that even some powerful independent cultivators would come seeking to join; he would truly possess a towering influence like the Demon Consort herself.
It seems that winning first place in the Immortal Sword Sect's Sword Appraisal Conference had left others with the impression he was just lucky, overshadowing his supreme abilities.
This moment was perfect to display his supreme skills using Xuan Chi, lest other rivals like Black Chi or White Chi come seeking trouble.
As the number one of the illustrious Sword Appraisal Conference, if he were intimidated by peers, that would be a serious loss of face, confirming the notion of mere luck.
Just as the two locked gazes, flames suddenly ignited around Xuan Chi's body, and behind him, a towering fiery phantom took shape. It was the shadow of the Supreme Immortal King, the Fire Ancestor, clad in flame armor, his head topped with a red crown, his countenance imposing, his eyes fiery.
Standing behind Xuan Chi, he commanded an unassailable and domineering presence, as if the deity himself had descended.
[Dominator of Fire Arts!]
With the appearance of the Fire Ancestor's phantom, Yang Ji felt as if he were surrounded by a sea of fire, his entire being becoming hot and flushed.
As the Dominator of Fire Arts was unleashed, it transformed into a boundless sea of fire. The flames surged violently, rolling madly towards Yang Ji.
Within the tumultuous sea of fire, the Fire Ancestor's phantom seemed like a sovereign, drifting unpredictably, striding on waves of flame with a magnificent and intimidating presence.
Under the searing gaze of the Fire Ancestor, in that moment, Yang Ji felt as if he were the enemy of the Fire Ancestor himself, an adversary of a Supreme Immortal King, not just of Xuan Chi.
This intangible oppression was immensely powerful. In just an instant, it caused Yang Ji's spirit to waver and almost compelled him to kneel and perform the grand salutations of three prostrations and nine kowtows to the Fire Ancestor.
