Rebuild the Xiuxian Family

Li Zhirui, leading Qing Si, cautiously approached the battlefield.

As he got closer, he became increasingly aware of how powerful the energy emanating from the source was, and his mood grew heavier and heavier.

Because such a powerful being was present in the aftermath of the battle, its strength must be considerable. It is very likely that this was a major battle between two peak Xuanxian!

The excitement and anticipation on Qing Si's face began to fade, gradually turning into tension and worry.

If it weren't for the fear of revealing their whereabouts, they would have been tempted to persuade Li Zhirui to stop and not get any closer.

As they got closer, they discovered that things were indeed as Li Zhirui had thought: it was a battle between two peak-level Xuanxian.

Most importantly, neither of these two are chaotic beasts, but rather beings nurtured by the world!
A figure a hundred feet tall stood there, his entire body jet black, his massive form covered in bone spurs, emanating a terrifying chill that seemed to freeze even the void itself.

The other one was even larger, looking like a mountain rising from the ground. He held a huge hammer, and just standing there gave people a powerful sense of oppression, making it hard to breathe.

Li Zhirui and Qing Si, who were skilled at infiltrating the battlefield, were seen through in an instant, despite their excellent concealment.

When they looked at the two men, they felt their blood freeze, as if any movement would invite their simultaneous attack.

Li Zhirui was in a good situation. His opponent was indeed very strong and could easily kill him, but since they were at the same level, the pressure did not have a significant effect on him. After he adapted to it a little, it had little impact on him.

But Qing Si was already trembling uncontrollably. After all, the gap between the two sides was too great. If this continued, it would probably leave an indelible mark on his heart, or rather, a psychological shadow.

Left with no other choice, Li Zhirui had to send him into his personal space to escape the pressure from the two men.

Without Qing Si as a burden, he immediately chose to withdraw and retreat, wanting to leave the battlefield.

In this situation, it is no longer possible to reap the benefits without contributing; it is very likely that innocent bystanders will suffer as a result!

In this evenly matched battle, any external factor could become a death knell, a knife that cuts down on you!

They were all worried that Li Zhirui would become the other side's ally, leading to their defeat, so they thought it better to simply eliminate him and restore the balance.

He had considered this situation, which is why he immediately expressed his stance of absolutely not interfering.

Li Zhirui actually regretted it quite a bit. When he first sensed that something was wrong, he should have stopped immediately, turned around and left decisively, instead of choosing to continue delving deeper with a try-and-see attitude.

Otherwise, I wouldn't be in this dangerous situation now.

Perhaps it was his attitude of never interfering that made the two of them feel it, so they were not attacked during their retreat.

"call--"

Once Li Zhirui had left the battlefield and was no longer threatened by those two, his tense body immediately relaxed, and he exhaled a breath of stale air.

He then quickly released Qing Si from the space to check on his condition and see if he had been affected.

Fortunately, after relieving himself in the space for a while, he dispelled the shadow in his heart.

"Ninth Brother! Let's wait around here until they decide the winner, then we can go and pick up the scraps. We're sure to make a good profit!" Qing Si said enthusiastically, still unwilling to give up.

"You still won't give up in this situation?"

Even Li Zhirui was surprised by his spirit. If it were him, he would definitely stay far away immediately to avoid being affected.

"Think about it, Ninth Brother. These two are evenly matched. Even if a winner is decided, the one who wins will definitely not be in good condition."

Qing Si actually started analyzing, speaking with great logic, "Then you can go and harvest their heads. These are two peak Xuanxian cultivators. Just their collections alone contain countless precious spiritual items and techniques."

Admittedly, what he said made a lot of sense, and even Li Zhirui was somewhat tempted.

But if we really want to do this, we need to solve one problem first!
That means we can't let Qing Si go with us.

Because if things don't go as smoothly as they imagine, and if there are unexpected changes, they won't be able to take care of him at all.

"You should stay in the space for the rest of the time."

Therefore, the first thing Li Zhirui did was to send Qing Si into the space to ensure his safety.

Although Qing Si knew that this was for his own good, and that it might even cause the plan to fail because of him, she was still angry at his decisive action.

However, he still prayed silently that things would go smoothly.

Li Zhirui himself, on the other hand, did his best to conceal his aura and hide his figure, staying at the very edge of the battlefield, silently waiting for the battle to end in order to complete his plan.

"Youhan! Is this all the strength you've got? Why don't you just admit defeat and hand over the Hundred-Year Enlightenment Fruit?"

Suddenly, a mocking voice, as sharp as thunder, exploded in the void, remaining remarkably clear even after traveling hundreds of miles.

The Dao Fruit, a supreme-grade spiritual object of the Profound Immortal level, is obtained after a hundred years of enlightenment. It is filled with the blood of one's heart and the laws of nature. After consuming it, one can comprehend the corresponding Great Dao Law within a hundred years.

Its effect is no different from that in the Sea of ​​Laws, but there is absolutely no risk of being assimilated by the Sea of ​​Laws.

Let alone a Xuanxian, even a Jinxian would fight fiercely for a hundred-year-old Dao Enlightenment Fruit.

Li Zhirui finally understood why the two peak Xuanxian cultivators were fighting to the death—it was all for the sake of this century-old Enlightenment Fruit.

"Chongyan, stop spouting nonsense. In terms of real strength, you are no match for me!" Another voice, no weaker than the other's, rang out.

boom!
After a brief exchange, the two fought even more fiercely, and in the center of the battle, the space itself could be seen trembling.

As time went on, the aftershocks of the battle grew stronger, forcing even Li Zhirui to devote more attention and energy to avoid exposing himself and causing his plans to fail.

But this battle will not be decided in a short time; it may last for a very long time, and for the three of them, it will be a test of patience and perseverance.

"Ahhh!"

After an unknown amount of time, a piercing scream suddenly rang out, sounding as if it came from the Xuanxian named Youhan.

"Chongyan, you're asking for death!"

An energy burst forth, its terrifying, frigid power palpable even across hundreds of miles of void. In a short while, snowflakes began to fall within a radius of hundreds of miles. If other beings were to witness this scene, they would be utterly astonished and bewildered, for in the void, there are no sunny days, cloudy days, rainy days, or snowy days; it is forever shrouded in gray mist.

The cause of this strange phenomenon was none other than that cold and aloof peak-level Xuanxian!
"If even a peak Xuanxian has such powerful energy, how powerful must a Jinxian be? What about Taiyi? Daluo? And even the Daluo Dao Fruit, the pinnacle of this universe!?" Li Zhirui felt boundless longing and hoped that he could reach that realm one day.

"Hahahahaha..."

But the immortal Chongyan showed no fear or hesitation. Instead, he burst into laughter and said, "We should have done this a long time ago. Let's see who is stronger!"

Rumbling--

The moment the words fell, the entire void began to tremble, a thousand-foot-tall mountain rose from the ground, and the gravity in the nearby void suddenly surged.

Then they saw the towering mountain, like a giant seal, hurtling towards Youhan, and nothing could withstand it.

Click!

Youhan unleashed all of his magical power, and a point of deep blue spiritual light flew out, landing on the mountain. In an instant, it completely covered the mountain, condensing into a thick layer of mysterious ice, and abruptly stopped halfway.

But before he could even rejoice, with a bang, the ice that had frozen the mountain exploded, and the mountain continued its relentless march towards him, as if the obstacle from before was merely a brief pause in its advance.

"impossible!"

Seeing this, You Han was shocked and couldn't believe that his supernatural power had been broken so easily.

But that's the reality, and now he can only do his best to make amends to avoid getting hurt and falling into a disadvantageous position.

Although he had tried his best to make up for his mistake and successfully blocked the attack, it still had a significant impact on him.

For a battle at their level, this influence could very well become the key factor in Youhan's defeat!

Chongyan pressed his advantage relentlessly, unleashing a series of powerful divine attacks in an attempt to gain an even greater edge and ultimately defeat his opponent!
However, although You Han gradually fell into a disadvantageous position, his powerful strength still supported him in the fight, and there was still a chance for him to turn the tide.

As long as you can find even the slightest weakness in your opponent, the situation can change immediately.

Unfortunately, Chongyan didn't give him that chance at all. His seemingly aggressive style of play was actually very good at protecting himself.

No matter how Youhan attacked, he was able to react in time and take protective measures for himself.

As time went on, even though both of them were at the peak of the Xuanxian realm, it was extremely depleting of their essence, energy, and spirit. In fact, by the end, the battle was entirely a contest of willpower.

However, judging from their appearances, You Han was in a rather disheveled state, and his aura was even more weak.

In this situation, barring any unforeseen circumstances, he will definitely be the loser.

As for what the outcome will be, that depends on his own decision.

If he were to withdraw now and cease his pursuit of the Hundred-Year Dao Fruit, he would only suffer minor injuries. However, if he were to persist, the outcome would be uncertain.

It's possible that he will turn the tide and win; it's also possible that he will escape severely injured; or it's possible that he will die here!

Faced with the temptation of a century-old Dao Fruit, many beings would make the same decision as him: they would not be willing to admit defeat!
Youhan decided to continue fighting and compete for the century-old Dao Fruit.

"Even now, you still refuse to admit defeat? Do you really want to fight to the death?" Chong Yan said coldly, his face somewhat grim.

He originally thought that the other party would back down and not want to continue the struggle, since his current condition was not very good and it was very likely that his countless years of cultivation would be in vain.

However, things did not develop as Chongyan had expected, and in addition, he was currently expending a lot of energy and had very little magic power left.

If they continue fighting, even if he wins, it won't be safe. If something unexpected happens, they'll both be in trouble!

Especially that Xuanxian cultivator who suddenly appeared earlier, who knows if he has actually left or not? What if he is hiding on the edge of the battlefield, waiting for an opportunity to strike?
"Hahaha, if you're scared, why don't you just give me the Hundred-Year Dao Fruit!" You Han immediately understood the meaning behind Chong Yan's words. He was simply afraid that they would become the 'sniper and clam' and end up being the 'fisherman' who would get the benefits.

But the more this is the case, the less likely he is to back down; instead, he will fight even harder to the very end.

Because this might be his chance to turn the tide!
"Since you're courting death, then I'll grant your wish!" Enraged that his thoughts had been exposed, Chong Yan launched an attack.

Rumbling--

In an instant, countless meteorites appeared in the void and rained down from the sky, continuously crashing down on Youhan.

He launched his own attack, sending out ice blades that struck the meteorites, and despite his own injuries, he dealt with most of them.

Both sides are now at their limit, it all depends on who can hold on until the end, and who will get that century-old Dao Fruit!
……

at the same time.

Li Zhirui, who was hiding at the edge of the battlefield, noticed that the energy fluctuations emanating from the battlefield had weakened considerably, and immediately understood.

They knew their battle was nearing its end and was about to conclude!
Moreover, the situation is developing in the direction he most expects and is most favorable to him, resulting in either mutual destruction or one death and one serious injury.

If either of these two scenarios occurs, Li Zhirui could potentially acquire both of their spiritual items.

"Wait patiently, it's not my turn to step in yet."

If they were to reveal themselves prematurely, it would likely alert the two men, causing them to become wary and make changes.

This is a situation that Li Zhirui doesn't want to happen, so he plans to continue waiting!
Time flies, and I don't know how much time has passed.

boom!
Suddenly, a deafening explosion erupted from the battlefield nearby.

At the same time, an angry roar rang out: "You Han, you madman!"

Rumble!
The explosion directly triggered a small chaotic storm, and the successive blows caused enormous destruction in the center of the battlefield. Terrifying energy raged and destroyed everything!
Even Li Zhirui, who was far away, felt terrified and wanted to know what had happened to cause such a terrible attack.

It took quite a while for the aftershocks of the explosion to subside.

Li Zhirui remained invisible, carefully concealing his presence as he cautiously approached the battlefield. (End of Chapter)
