Chapter 193: Chapter 169: Heaven Exterminating Earth Destroying Immortal Slaying Sword!

"Being second in the world means you are the second greatest cultivation talent in the world!"

"So that’s what you meant. I thought it was something else. Pssh, as if everyone isn’t a genius!"

Li Ping’an disdainfully replied:

"Then let me ask you, if your cultivation were higher than mine, I could understand surviving my Thunder Technique without dying, but your cultivation is clearly lower than mine. How could you possibly survive my Thunder Magic Talisman without dying! That has nothing to do with being a genius, right? Could it be that like Xie Wenren, you have a life-protection dharma instrument?"

"Exactly! My survival from your Thunder Magic Talisman truly has nothing to do with being a genius or not!"

Pei Yuanjing gritted his teeth, sighed deeply, and then with immense pride raised the dull ancient sword in his hand and explained as if to show off:

"This sword is known as the Immortal Slaying Sword, originally it is the sword embryo of the ancient divine weapon Immortal Slaying Sword."

"Five hundred years ago, the founding patriarch of my Flame Cloud Sect accidentally came upon the Immortal Slaying Sword’s sword embryo. After centuries of artifact refining by generations of Sect Leaders of the Flame Cloud Sect, it was finally forged into this sword, becoming one of the three Sect’s Treasures of my Flame Cloud Sect."

"Seeing my extraordinary talent, that I was a one-in-a-million cultivation genius, my Sect Leader not only promoted me extraordinarily to the rank of his uncle but also personally taught me Taoist magic and even gifted me this sword, making it my life-bound magical instrument. It is because of this sword that I was able to survive!"

"I see! I was wondering how you could possibly have survived my Thunder Magic Talisman. So just like Xie Wenren, it’s because you had a life-bound magical instrument protecting your body, making it so formidable!"

Upon hearing this, greed flashed in Li Ping’an’s eyes as he menacingly looked towards Pei Yuanjing’s hand holding the Immortal Slaying Sword and smirked:

"Boy, you might have been better off not revealing the truth, now that you have... heh heh, I’ve set my sights on your Immortal Slaying Sword!"

"I’ve set my sights on it too!"

Hidden in the shadows, Xie Wenren had been planning to kill the victor Li Ping’an with a sneak attack but was surprised to find Pei Yuanjing still alive and seemingly able to continue fighting. Thus, he halted his attack and continued to watch the drama unfold.

"You want my life-bound Immortal Slaying Sword? Ha..."

Pei Yuanjing scoffed dismissively, but when he looked down at the Immortal Slaying Sword in his hands, he saw the section of his left arm that had been severed by Li Ping’an’s Fire-Subduing Earth Thunder Talisman.

"Ah!"

Pei Yuanjing let out a mournful scream that echoed through the arena. Suddenly, veins bulged, and his eyes turned blood-red. Tears of blood then flowed, and a mix of grief, panic, and madness burst forth in an instant.

Even if there had been a chance for life between him and Li Ping’an before, the sight of his severed arm meant there was now absolutely no possibility of reconciliation.

"Li Ping’an... Li Ping’an..."

Pei Yuanjing muttered Li Ping’an’s name while gazing at his own left arm on the ground.

At this moment, all he wanted was to kill Li Ping’an and then retrieve his arm to ask his senior brother Zhuge Junchen for help in reattaching it.

"Li Ping’an! Li Ping’an!"

When Pei Yuanjing looked up again, Li Ping’an seemed to see a bloody Asura, his whole body emanating an aura of slaughter and hostility. Even Cen Fuda, Iron Staff Wang Lang, who were slightly afar within the fire wall, could sense it clearly, which made them even more terrified.

"Tiangang Five Peaks Seal!"

Li Ping’an knew a deadly feud had been formed. Anyone, including himself, whose arm was broken would think only of killing the other party. Since there was no room for negotiation, the killing must continue until the opponent was completely dead.

Only that could end the hatred in Pei Yuanjing’s heart!

Once again, a mountain shaped like the Five Peaks formed by mana charged at Pei Yuanjing like the crushing force of Mount Tai, but this time, knowing Li Ping’an’s tricks, Pei Yuanjing didn’t even look and directly slashed with his sword, breaking Li Ping’an’s Tiangang Five Peaks Seal again!

"You’re going to die! Four Red Suns Formation!"

Pei Yuanjing once again executed the formation, and as it sprang up under his feet, he dashed toward Li Ping’an with tremendous speed.

"This guy is winning because of this very sword! I think instead of being called the second greatest talent in the world, he should be called the number one scoundrel! Tiangang Five Peaks Seal!"

Li Ping’an formed hand seals again, and Pei Yuanjing once again destroyed it with a single slash.

Driven by a strong sense of vengeance and having nothing left to lose, Pei Yuanjing flew swiftly, aiming to stab Li Ping’an in the face with the Immortal Slaying Sword.

At the critical moment, Li Ping’an changed his hand seal:

"Nine-Ranked Lotus Platform Seal!"

Suddenly, around him appeared a beautifully blossoming Nine-Ranked Lotus Platform which perfectly shielded him in the middle.

As Pei Yuanjing reached him, his Immortal Slaying Sword stabbed the Nine-Ranked Lotus Platform, and the sword, bursting with purple light, made contact with the flowering Lotus Platform. At the point of impact where the sword hit the Lotus Platform, the two types of light converged, suddenly releasing an unusual burst of light!

"You have more tricks up your sleeve?"

Pei Yuanjing looked astonished, his angry eyes flashing with a hint of jealousy and confusion:

"This doesn’t seem like a Taoist technique, it resembles more of a Buddhist technique!"

"Heh heh!"

Li Ping’an sneered:

"I don’t believe you can break my most powerful protection spell!"

"Don’t believe it? This is the Immortal Slaying Sword, break it!"

Provoked by Li Ping’an and reminded of his arm being broken, Pei Yuanjing’s face contorted with rage, all his anger being channeled into that one strike. With his heart racing, his body emitted a fiery aura, turning Pei Yuanjing into a flaming figure and his Immortal Slaying Sword into a Fire Sword.

The fire-imbued Immortal Slaying Sword, from the spot where it stabbed into the Nine-Ranked Lotus Platform, suddenly erupted with Samadhi Divine Fire. The fire was pure and light yellow, which then spread swiftly across the Lotus Platform, encasing the entire Nine-Ranked Lotus with its flames in an instant.
