Chapter 707

Chapter 707: The Battle Ends

Every sword light unleashed by Li Zishi was imbued with terrifying power.

Each strike against Xiong Li’s heavy armor sent a unique strand of spiritual energy coursing into Xiong Li’s body.

Moreover, every sword light carried an extraordinary level of swordsmanship.

The Sword of the Heart’s heart strike, the power sword’s overwhelming slash, the flowing clouds’ soul strike…

Li Zishi effortlessly wielded multiple forms of swordsmanship, immediately overwhelming Xiong Li with his attacks.

The disciples of Qianling Sect were stunned, and the disciples of Hidden Spirit Sect were left speechless; their invincible Senior Brother was being suppressed so easily.

Li Zishi swung his sword with one hand while pressing down on Xiong Li with the other.

In an instant, Xiong Li felt the sky darken.

Looking up, he saw a massive palm print descending from the sky, crashing down upon him.

“Boom!”

The ground trembled as Xiong Li lay in the center of a colossal palm print, his face slightly flushed, and his eyes glowing with a crimson hue.

“Not bad; finally, I’ve met an opponent at my level, someone I can fight with full strength.”

Five streams of spiritual energy surged from Xiong Li, forming a ten-zhang golden form law manifestation that then transformed into a chaotic hue.

The sword light continued to slash down, but when it struck Xiong Li, it was like a stone sinking into the ocean.

It only caused a faint ripple on the surface of the chaotic law form.

Li Zishi’s expression shifted, revealing a clear spark of interest.

“Let’s keep fighting!” Xiong Li roared.

The chaotic law form brandished a massive hammer, swinging it toward Li Zishi with immense force.

Li Zishi formed seals with one hand, summoning a protective golden light.

He effortlessly blocked Xiong Li’s full-strength strike.

“Boom~~”

The entire small world began to quake.

“The world’s strength is insufficient; reinforcing now~” Grape’s voice echoed.

Countless streams of primal energy surged into the small world.

However, this did not disrupt the battle between the two.

At this moment, Li Zishi wielded elemental mastery with his left hand while holding his sword in his right, engaging in a fierce duel with Xiong Li using exceptionally agile movements.

Meanwhile, the spectators watching the live broadcast from Hidden Spirit Island suddenly felt something peculiar—they could see a faint resemblance to Xu Fan in Li Zishi.

“Master, this Li Zishi seems a bit like you,” Wang Xiangchi remarked.

“The fighting style is similar; countless paths of mastery and myriad divine abilities are used with ease,” Xu Gang added.

“Perhaps only one or two parts; after all, I don’t need to be so elaborate when I act,” Xu Fan said lightly as he watched the Live Stream Light Curtain.

He sensed that, barring any surprises, Li Zishi represented the pinnacle of talent in this cultivation world; anything beyond that would spell defeat.

“I really want to fight him,” Xu Gang said.

“Don’t rush. Once he defeats Xiong Li, he’ll naturally find a way to challenge you,” Xu Fan replied with a smile.

At that moment, the battle between Xiong Li and Li Zishi reached its peak intensity.

It was a clash of body refinement, techniques of the Dao, and swordsmanship.

Xiong Li’s chaotic law form absorbed more and more attacks, growing larger in size.

When the chaotic law form expanded to a height of one hundred zhang, Xiong Li unleashed his ultimate strike.

Two massive hammers collided with a thunderous crash, causing the chaotic law form to explode.

The small world where they fought cracked slightly, but Grape quickly repaired it.

As the strike exploded, Li Zishi swiftly dodged to the side, vanishing into the void.

Only after Xiong Li’s strike had ended did Li Zishi calmly step out from the void.

He stood facing Xiong Li, holding a sword in one hand and forming a five-element spell seal with the other.

“You’re strong, but not strong enough,” Li Zishi said coolly.

After unleashing his ultimate strike, Xiong Li gasped for breath, looking at Li Zishi, who stood unharmed and composed. He chuckled.

“You’re a worthy opponent. I concede,” Xiong Li said, looking up.

Having exhausted all his techniques and failing to harm Li Zishi, continuing the fight seemed pointless.

“I merely took advantage of the essence of the space wide road. If your strike had hit me directly, I wouldn’t have survived,” Li Zishi admitted.

“A loss is a loss. No need to talk about advantages,” Xiong Li said before leaving the virtual world.

The disciples from both sects who were watching fell silent, awestruck by the sheer power displayed during the duel.

“This is the kind of power someone in the Core Formation stage can unleash.”

“If Senior Brother Xiong Li had used that move in the plaza, half the people there would’ve been wiped out.”

“Junior Master Zishi is incredible. At such a young age, he’s already mastered multiple Dao techniques.”

“I never thought there’d be someone in the cultivation world stronger than Senior Brother Xiong Li.”

Li Zishi emerged from the virtual world and began participating in various events to accumulate points.

He competed in every event, effortlessly securing first place and setting records that left everyone in awe.

“He’s truly a prodigy, Master. You didn’t take this disciple in vain,” Master Qianling said to the Grand Elder in the Hall of Taiyi. He had always known his nephew was talented, but not to this extent.

“He still has room to grow. Compared to the elders ranked near ten, he falls short in some areas,” the Grand Elder said with a smile, though his expression showed deep satisfaction.

After over 900 years of careful cultivation, he was finally seeing results.

“It looks like first place is guaranteed,” the Third Grand Elder of Qianling Sect remarked.

At this, Master Qianling shook his head.

“He’s not quite there yet. The Hidden Spirit Sect has Tian Puppet Masters who can control puppets in battle.”

“Some may have weaker cultivation, but they can control Core Formation or even Great Ascension stage puppets, giving them formidable fighting strength.”

“If they show up, the outcome is uncertain,” Master Qianling said.

“Second brother, are you worried about Following Shadows?” the Third Grand Elder asked, his eyes filled with admiration at the mention of Following Shadows.

Master Qianling nodded.

“Don’t overthink it. Just watch Zishi’s performance. We’ve done what we can to support him; now it’s up to him,” the Grand Elder said with a smile, confident in his disciple’s abilities.

After completing all the events, Li Zishi contacted Grape, expressing his desire to challenge the disciples of the Grand Elder of the Hidden Spirit Sect.

“I told you not to worry. He’ll definitely come for you,” Xu Fan said with a smile.

At that moment, Wang Xiangchi seemed intrigued.

“If you go, Wang Xiangchi, it’ll likely end in a draw. One misstep, and you could lose. Better wait.”

“Xingci and Xu Gang should go. They’ll handle it more steadily,” Xu Fan suggested with a grin.

Just then, Xu Fan received word from Grape that his disciple Zhou Kailing had returned to Hidden Spirit Island after her training journey.

Hearing this, Xu Fan thought of something amusing.

“Master, I’ve finally found you!”

“When I got back, I saw the Ten Thousand-Mile Giant Lake had turned into a massive crater. I was terrified, thinking something had happened to you!” Zhou Kailing said, looking relieved to be home.
