Invincible!

Chapter 113 Peerless
An Jing sensed it.

This sword strike blocked all the directions he could dodge.

It cut off all his possible paths of resistance!

It also contains a violent power that he is completely unable to resist now that he is injured!
Since he accumulated his unparalleled foundation fifteen years ago, he has realized a problem.

It can't be broken!

He couldn't break through the Heavenly Gate that stood before his foundation was transformed into an unparalleled Dao Foundation!

In his pursuit of greater strength and ultimate achievement, he dug his own grave, burying his future.

Unless he's willing to take a drastic step, causing his resources to crumble and forcing him to settle for second best, otherwise...

He will be stuck at the gate of the peerless Dao Foundation.

It keeps getting stuck!

Until old age and declining strength, when qi and blood fail!

but……

He is not willing!

He had already reached the gate of the peerless Dao Foundation, but he was unable to push the gate open. How could he accept this?

So he was waiting.

Waiting for an opponent, waiting for a fight to the death!
Waiting for an ultimate transcendence, a life lived in the face of death!
He sought a single sword strike, a strike from which he would recklessly sacrifice himself, burning away his life to reach the pinnacle of transcendence, and ultimately…

He shattered the Heavenly Gate and truly stepped into the Foundation Stage of the Dao!
And this wait lasted for fifteen years!
For fifteen years, he has accepted challenges from one successor after another.

Even when they sensed potential in some challengers, they let them go, guided them, nurtured them, and then, when they reached their peak...

kill him!

As a result of misinformation, his actions were portrayed as perverse, and he was branded as a sadist who murdered his opponents!

Unfortunately, it took a full fifteen years!

nobody!
There isn't a single person in the entire inner sect who can fight!

Until now...

Li appears first!

Li gave it to him first.

fatal!

Lore!

A desperate sword strike!
There is great terror between life and death!
Human potential shines with unprecedented brilliance in this life-or-death moment!
Like now!

Completely targeted and trapped in a desperate situation, An Jing unleashed an even greater power at this moment.

His spirit, breath, and physical body seemed to have completely merged with the outside world.

With itself, it bears the weight of heaven and earth.

In an instant...

Already severely injured, his body felt as if it had been crushed by some terrifying force, with blood oozing from every pore.

but……

At that very moment, the power of heaven and earth outside seemed to be fiercely pulled back by an invisible giant hand!
Turn the abstract into the concrete!

Suddenly, a force field formed!

Wind and Thunder Force Field!

Under this force field, the power of heaven and earth that Li Xian had stirred up with his sword energy seemed to have encountered some kind of natural enemy, or a higher-dimensional restraint, and was suddenly and forcefully dispersed!

Without the blessing of the power of heaven and earth, the sword that was originally designed to target all of An Jing's flaws and should have been able to break through all laws with a single sword strike and crush him with overwhelming force suddenly developed a weakness.

It was like a beam of light suddenly shining down through a layer of gloomy clouds.

It was as if a tightly sealed gate to heaven had suddenly cracked open.

In that split second, An Jing captured it.

"Boom!"

He drew his sword.

Facing the beam of sunlight, towards the crevice, with a belief in living even in the face of death, they fearlessly and resolutely drew their swords.

This was a sword strike that shattered the world's sword.

It was also a sword strike that cleaved through the insurmountable barrier of the Dao Foundation.

With a single sword strike, the ice and snow melted away!

The sword aura and roar that the sword shook the universe dissipated completely.

The lightning that flashed wildly eventually subsided.

then……

An Jing did not retaliate further.

Li Xian did not draw his sword again.

He even put away the Heavenly Demon Limitless Immortal Body.

To avoid interfering with the operation of the surrounding天地 (heaven and earth) forces with one's own power.

An Jing stood still.

Blood flowed down his sword-wielding arm, across the tip of the sword, dripped onto the ground, and splattered.

Despite the damage to his internal organs from the penetrating sword energy, blood was already overflowing to the corners of his mouth.

However, his aura had undergone a dramatic change compared to before.

Getting stronger and stronger!

Getting stronger and stronger!

At first, it was like the sun setting in the west, but it quickly reversed course and gradually transformed into the blazing sun that ascends to the heavens. Even just standing there quietly, the light and heat it radiates are endless and so intense that it is hard to look directly at it.

a long time……

An Jing opened her eyes.

"Thank you."

He said something.

"You did it yourself."

Li Xianyi added a sentence.

"You have won this battle."

An Jing said.

"But you didn't lose either."

Li Xian looked at him.

After hearing this, An Jing shook his head: "In any case, I lost in the end. The list of candidates for the Dao has already given its result in this battle."

He said softly, "After my mind truly connected with heaven and earth and I pierced through the heavens and earth with that sword, I was already exhausted. You only need to continue to strike to defeat me."

"What you sought was not victory or defeat, otherwise you wouldn't have used the wrong tactics to fight me to the bitter end. And yet, you got what you wanted in the end."

Li Xiandao.

"Incorrect tactics..."

An Jing smiled and said, "How do you know that this is not a flaw in my character? It has forged my strong will, forcing me to fight when facing an enemy?"

Is it a personality flaw?
Li Xian put himself in Li Xian's shoes and thought about it.

If it were him... facing a once-in-a-lifetime, evenly matched opponent, would he be willing to use tactics that involve constant dodging and stalling until the opponent collapses on their own?
especially……

He himself was unsure whether he could survive until the end using this method.

After a long pause, he said, "In any case, this battle is not over yet."

He did not pursue them for two reasons: firstly, he did not want to take advantage of their vulnerability.

Secondly...

After An Jing breaks through to the next realm, he can reach an even stronger state!
Only by defeating him at his strongest can you truly experience the ultimate thrill!
"Well."

An Jing also had high hopes: "I will take good care of my injuries and consolidate my strength, and... wait for you to enter the Dao."

"it is good."

"Don't keep me waiting too long, or I'm afraid you won't be able to catch up."

"will not."

"call out!"

Just then, a sword light, carrying a life force far exceeding that of someone at the Innate Realm, roared in.

An Jing seemed to know what had happened.

He picked up the identity token.

Li Xian understood what he meant and nodded.

The sword light descended.

A man dressed in white, who looked to be in his thirties, appeared.

He glanced at the scene, which clearly showed signs of a major battle, then looked at An Jing, and then turned to Li Xian, his expression revealing obvious surprise.

"Let's go."

An Jing said.

"it is good."

The man nodded with a smile and said, "Junior Brother An, Master has been waiting for this day for a long time."

Then, he turned to Li Xian and asked, "How should I address this junior brother?"

"Li Xian."

Li replied casually.

"Junior Brother Li..."

While the man was greeting Mr. Li, his mental energy was connected to an omnipresent system, which was checking his information.

At that moment, I happened to see a permission block related to "Hidden Dragon in the Abyss".

For a moment, his expression changed slightly, but he quickly abandoned the idea of ​​taking this talent back with him and turned to An Jing: "Junior Brother An, I'll take you there."

An Jing nodded.

Throughout the entire process, aside from the initial "thank you," there seemed to be little interaction between me and Mr. Li.

There's no need for much communication.

However, just as the man was about to leave with An Jing, he remembered something and took out a box: "A little gift to thank you for helping my junior brother An."

After saying that, without giving Li Xian time to object, he threw the box to him, and quickly wrapped An Jing's body with his "true energy" and flew away on his sword.

Li took the box first.

"flight."

There was a hint of envy in his eyes.

Soaring through the heavens on a sword—this is the dream of many.

In fact, some high-ranking members of the inner sect are granted special flying artifacts by the sect.

These flying magical artifacts can utilize the power of the sect's formations to fly freely across a radius of 100,000 li.

However, Li Xian didn't even have enough time for daily cultivation, wishing he could stretch one day into two, so he obviously didn't have that much time to take up his post in the sect.

Only after An Jing and the man left did Zhao Guihai, Qi Huo, Qi Xi, and their group gather around in shock.

The battle between Li Xian and An Jing took place in front of the courtyard where Li Xian lived.

The commotion from their fight was so great that Zhao Guihai, who was in the courtyard, Qi Huo who lived "next door," and Qi Xi, who had moved into the same courtyard as Qi Huo, naturally couldn't have missed it.

The group arrived several dozen meters away early.

However, the situation here is unclear, and they are afraid of getting too close, lest they be caught in the aftermath if Li Xian and An Jing start fighting again.

Losing one's life is a small matter; if it distracts Li Xian and leads to an unfortunate defeat, given An Jing's reputation for ruthlessness, who knows what he might do?

So they just watched from a distance.

They only gathered around after An Jing had been completely taken away.

"Senior Brother Li... just now... was that An Jing!?"

Zhao Guihai's eyes were filled with barely suppressed shock: "An Jing, a master of both fist and sword, the number one candidate on the Daoist entrance list who can rival the sun and moon!?"

Before Li Xian could reply, Qi Huo and Qi Xi, suppressing their excitement, immediately cupped their hands in congratulations: "Congratulations, Senior Brother Li, for surpassing all others, becoming the top disciple in the inner sect, and reaching the number one spot on the list of candidates for the Dao!"

First……

Since Li Xian stopped fighting An Jing, it seems that the battle has been declared over by the list of candidates for the Dao, and he is regarded as the final victor.

At that time, his ranking had risen from sixth to first.

"It's him."

Li replied to Zhao Guihai.

He glanced at the Qi Huo sisters at the same time: "Overpowering all others and being the best in the inner sect... that's an exaggeration."

He is self-aware.

Even if all the inner disciples attacked together, he still wouldn't be able to suppress them.

This first place in the inner sect left him feeling somewhat unsatisfied.

An Jing, on the other hand, had a great time.

He was somewhat caught in a limbo.

Moreover, according to An Jing, Qin undoubtedly seemed to be a level below him.

That's rather dull.

"It seems I need to diligently cultivate the Qi Refining Technique of Creation and quickly sense the Heavenly Gate to break through and enter the Dao."

Li thought for a moment.

Fortunately, although his battle with An Jing wasn't a true fight to the death, he didn't come away empty-handed.

An Jing's understanding of swordsmanship has reached its pinnacle, comparable to that of magic.

Do not!
Not comparable!

What's the difference between that method of turning a sword into a dragon and magic?
This interpretation of swordsmanship gave Li Xian a new understanding of the killing move in the fifth chapter of the Qiankun Sword Manual, "Sword Qi Qiankun".

Take some time to reflect and calm down; you should be able to master this killer move.

In this respect, he also achieved his goal of fighting An Jing.

Win-win.

With that thought in mind, Li Xian wasted no more time: "Alright, I've gained some insights from the battle just now, and I'm going into seclusion now. You may do as you please."

Upon hearing this, Zhao Guihai, Qi Xi, Qi Huo, and the others quickly bowed and said, "Respectfully seeing off Senior Brother Li."
