Lingxu, Sword Coffin, Blind Swordsman

Su Xuan looked at Gu Xici with a strange gaze, raising his hand to grab him.

However, this simple action made Gu Xici's scalp explode!!

Because Su Xuan's hand actually passed through the void, heading straight for his main body!!!!!!!

In the blink of an eye, Gu Xici decisively drew his sword, completing the Apocalypse stance and instantly unleashing over a hundred slashes!!

At the same time, his figure retreated rapidly, crushing a scroll to escape.

Faced with the overwhelming and terrifying sword light, Su Xuan showed no fear, simply watching with a calm expression.

He murmured softly, "Although your origin has escaped... this body will stay behind."

Li Guanqi didn't know what was happening; strands of hair gently fluttered past his ears.

A wisp of saber light flashed and disappeared.

All the sword芒 were instantly shattered at this moment!!!

The violent aftermath frantically scoured everything around, magma splattering, and mountains shattering.

Gu Xici, in the Ascension Realm, was instantly broken down into countless fragments!!

No Yuan Power fluctuations could be sensed, and no one saw when the old man made his move...

Absolute crushing strength!!!!

Su Xuan curled his lip, glanced down at the slowly collapsing array beneath his feet, and said.

"A bit of a pity... though his body was slain, he still managed to escape."

Li Guanqi frowned, and upon hearing this, he said with some surprise.

"Escaped? Isn't he dead?"

Su Xuan shook his head, appearing to admire his opponent's methods.

"The moment you unleashed your sword earlier, he hid his Yuan Spirit within the barrier beneath his feet."

Li Guanqi frowned and said in a deep voice.

"But... he's clearly in the Ascension Realm!! His strength and moves were strong enough!"

The old man smiled, waved his hand with his eyes closed, and said.

"Which one of these guys at this realm isn't a cunning old fox? When they sense their life is in danger, they'll unleash their greatest trump cards and abilities to escape."

"Heh, but this setup was beautifully done, a series of interconnected schemes, each linked to the next, no one was exposed."

Listening to the old man's praise, Li Guanqi didn't become complacent.

This was his first direct confrontation with Gu Xici, but he felt like he was punching cotton.

He had originally planned to make a big splash, but he discovered that the other party had long made his escape route a part of his plan.

Even choosing to escape the moment he realized he had fallen into a weaker opponent's trap.

Because something had appeared that was outside of his plan.

And solely because of this, he decided to leave!

Even if it meant sacrificing his cultivation and physical body.

Li Guanqi couldn't help but shudder; such an enemy was too terrifying...

The barrier was self-imposed?

Li Guanqi shook his head and smiled wryly...

He still thought everything was too simple.

Li Guanqi slowly raised his head, just in time to see the old man's back as he prepared to turn around.

"Grandpa?"

The old man's body stiffened, and he turned his head to point at the Flame Spirit of the Gluttonous Holy Flame, who was raring to go.

"There's really no way to deal with that; Grandpa promised back then."

"If you can subdue it, it will definitely be a great help after you ascend to the Immortal Realm!"

"You... good luck."

After saying that, the old man disappeared in a puff of smoke.

Li Guanqi stood in place, calming his mind for a long time. The matter with Gu Xici made him feel somewhat anticlimactic.

But it also made him understand one thing: the real masterminds behind the scenes are all absolutely meticulous.

Once they discover that things are beyond their expectations, regardless of whether they can still control the situation, they will choose to retreat first!!

It's a pity his punch felt like it hit cotton, making him feel sick to the point of wanting to vomit blood.

Forcibly suppressing these chaotic and complicated thoughts in his mind, his gaze slowly shifted towards the distant Gluttonous Holy Flame.

It must be said that the other party's mentality was really good, never interfering in the slightest from beginning to end.

This was also what Su Xuan had told Li Guanqi before.

He speculated that Gu Xici came for Li Guanqi on the one hand, and would definitely make a move for the Gluttonous Holy Flame on the other hand.

Because people like them are too eager to get rid of the word 'distraction'.

But what could withstand their immense energy among the spiritual objects of heaven and earth?

Perhaps only the Gluttonous Holy Flame could attract the other party's attention.

The Gluttonous Holy Flame possessed a complete self-awareness, its tall stature was no less than that of Li Guanqi, who was displaying the Devil King Body.

The two stood a hundred feet apart, but unexpectedly, it was the Flame Spirit who spoke first.

"Could you use that kind of power you used earlier again?"

Li Guanqi's injuries had mostly recovered, and the injuries to his arm had been restored to their original state under the effect of the Devil King Body.

Li Guanqi was curious upon hearing this, but he truthfully said.

"I can't."

He wasn't lying; he really couldn't get the Sword Spirit to unleash Falling Dao again.

The Flame Spirit of the Gluttonous Holy Flame slightly raised the corners of its mouth upon hearing this and chuckled softly.

"It seems my guess was right; that strike should have been your limit."

"After all... that can't be considered your power!"

Speaking of this, the Flame Spirit pondered for a moment, and couldn't help but feel curious.

"To be honest, I'm very curious about the power within you."

Li Guanqi smiled faintly, Yuan Power flowing throughout his body, constantly on guard.

"Oh? Curious about what?"

The Flame Spirit slowly raised its head, its pupils-less eyes staring at Li Guanqi, its voice gradually becoming low and deep.

"I'm very curious... why does the spirit within you make me feel fear!!"

Boom!!!!

Flames burned the sky, the purplish-black flames were actually composed of lightning arcs as thin as hair!!

At this time, Li Guanqi also remembered the rumors that Cao Yan had mentioned before.

The Gluttonous Holy Flame, burns everything, devours everything, hence the name Gluttonous!

Li Guanqi smiled; he felt a very strong sense of oppression from the other party.

He hadn't fought all-out since breaking through to the Tribulation Transcendence Realm.

Just now, in order for the Sword Spirit to release its strongest power, he forcibly broke through to the mid-stage of the Tribulation Transcendence Realm.

His aura hadn't stabilized yet, and his aura fluctuated extremely violently.

However, at this moment, the Flame Spirit of Gluttony actually slowly sat down, and said softly.

"Stabilize your realm for now; you can't beat me in your current state."

After speaking, the Flame Spirit sat in the void and said no more.

Li Guanqi really didn't expect that the Flame Spirit of the Gluttonous Holy Flame would actually...

Be more like a person than a person.

He laughed self-deprecatingly and didn't refuse the other party's kindness.

Li Guanqi sat down in place and began to frantically stabilize his realm.

As time passed, the pressure on Li Guanqi's body became more and more intense, and stronger and stronger.

But at this time, no one knew what was in the heart of the Gluttonous Holy Flame...

"This guy is the old man's grandson??"

"He suppressed me for ten thousand years just to have me follow him??"

"Tsk... his previous performance shows he's not a complete idiot, he has a strong backer, and his bone structure and comprehension are very good."

"Void Spiritual Body? No... he also devoured the Devil King Body... could it be!!!!"

"Also, the spirit within him is stronger than me, which means he might not take a fancy to me?"

"This is a bit difficult..."
