Chapter 189: Chapter 168: A Battle that Shocks the Heavens, Sky Lightning Clashes with Earth Fire!

"So strong!"

Li Ping’an’s spell had never been broken by any cultivator before, prompting him to praise it sincerely.

"Immortal Li, show me all you’ve got!"

The arrogant Pei Yuanjing was not frightened by Li Ping’an’s skills; instead, he flew towards Li Ping’an with even more excitement.

"Foolish wretch who knows not the face of death, must I defeat you before you concede?"

"In this life, one should revel to their heart’s content. With a longsword in hand, if one cannot reach the pinnacle, what joy is there? Let the turbulent mortal world be mine to roam. Even if thousands stand against me, why should I fear? Only reaching the peak is truly thrilling. I want to stir the winds and clouds in life and leave a legacy lasting a thousand autumns after death. Once I’ve entered the Taoist sect, I will be unbeatable!"

Pei Yuanjing bowed again, displaying extreme deference while hiding a needle in a cotton, arrogantly raising his hand and enticingly saying to Li Ping’an:

"I invite Immortal Li to hasten to his doom and establish my name as undefeated!"

"What arrogance, beast! Take my sword!"

Li Ping’an charged again with his sword, turning it into a streak of cold light. The blade moved swiftly and urgently, a full force attack from Li Ping’an that ordinary people couldn’t withstand.

At that moment, the streak of cold light carried fierce sword qi and powerful mana, stirring up a strong wind. It shot towards Pei Yuanjing’s shoulder with the speed of lightning, and Li Ping’an, still not wanting to make an enemy of the Flame Cloud Sect, held back slightly.

With a whoosh, the cold light streaked down like a meteor, an Earth Immortal’s full-force strike that cultivators below the mysterious heart realm couldn’t withstand.

"So fast! So strong! Truly worthy of an impressive Earth Immortal!"

Pei Yuanjing immediately leaped up, the Immortal Slaying Sword under his feet returning to his hand, then he used the sword in his hand to block the incoming cold light.

As the two swords clashed, Pei Yuanjing proudly said:

"But what does that matter?"

With a clang, that point of cold light suddenly stagnated in front of Pei Yuanjing’s Immortal Slaying Sword. Pei Yuanjing smirked and, with a casual chop, Li Ping’an’s controlled sword was instantly split into two pieces!

"Beast! You destroyed my newly bought sword! That cost me thirty taels of silver!"

At this, Li Ping’an was truly enraged:

"You little beast, pay for my sword!"

"How shall I compensate?"

"Give me your sword and let’s call it even!"

"Hahahaha! Immortal Li thinks too highly, this sword is the Sect’s Treasure of the Flame Cloud Sect. How can I simply give it to you unless you kill me?"

Pei Yuanjing again controlled his sword, grabbing the split iron sword with one hand and utilizing the Artifact Refining Technique:

"Forge! Refine! Empower!"

Before everyone’s eyes, the two halves of the broken sword instantly melted into molten iron in the palms of Pei Yuanjing, eventually forming two flaming iron globes:

"Go!"

The two blazing red-hot globes, driven by Pei Yuanjing, also soared towards Li Ping’an with the speed of thunder.

Thud! Thud!

After dodging two successive loud noises, the burning fireballs smashed fiercely onto the ground behind Li Ping’an, abruptly creating two blazing fire pits that still blazed fiercely. Li Ping’an turned his head to look, as if seeing volcanic magma bursting forth.

"No wonder this fellow is so arrogant; using the same techniques, he’s simply incomparable to Xie Wenren—like sky and earth! He truly has the capital for arrogance!"

Seeing this, Li Ping’an decided no longer to hold back, harboring even thoughts of killing for the sword, but he carefully raised his hand and said:

"Wait a moment!"

"Oh? Is Immortal Li afraid?"

Pei Yuanjing, eyes narrowed in disdain, said:

"It’s no use being afraid! You must fight with all your strength before you can die!"

"Wang Lang, Cen Fuda! Are you two willing to be my witnesses tonight?"

Ignoring Xie Wenren, Li Ping’an turned to look at Wang Lang and Cen Fuda who were suffering inside the fire wall.

"We are willing!"

Iron Staff Wang Lang, Cen Fuda, and numerous idle followers, thugs, and servants responded in succession.

Li Ping’an then said:

"I spare your lives, you should know gratitude. As you see, this fellow stubbornly troubles me. It’s not my intention to kill. If I accidentally kill him today, the blame is not on me but on him. When it causes a huge uproar later, you must testify for me and vindicate me!"

"We are willing! We are utterly willing! We hope that after the Immortal defeats him, you will save us from the sea of fire!"

"Naturally! Just wait a moment!"

Now that he had Cen Fuda, a second generation official, to vouch for him, even if news that he had killed Pei Yuanjing spread later, with the Night Traveler’s Bureau to act justly, he could be sure that the Flame Cloud Sect would not dare to act recklessly!

"Immortal Li, can you fight freely now?"

Pei Yuanjing, once again excited, pleaded, sensing that Li Ping’an was angered!

"Good! Tiangang Five Peaks Seal!"

Following Li Ping’an’s forming of seals, Pei Yuanjing saw five mountains, transformed from mana, appear above his head, pressing down with the might of Mount Tai.

The five mana-transformed mountains, resembling the Five Fingers Mountain suppressing Sun Wukong, moved with rapid and fierce speed, and their enormous power was undeniable. Anyone caught under these mountains would face death or severe injury. Pei Yuanjing, in front of these mountains, appeared as insignificant as a sesame seed.

"So Li Ping’an is this powerful!"

In addition to Pei Yuanjing, Wang Lang, and Cen Fuda, there were others who exclaimed in admiration, including Xie Wenren hiding in the shadows, ready to ambush. At this moment, he realized how small he was. Yet, a hope ignited within him that Li Ping’an would surely kill Xie Wenren. After Li Ping’an killed Xie Wenren, he could shoot Li Ping’an from the shadows!

This was indeed a brilliant plan that would kill two birds with one stone, and no one else knew!
