Invincible!

Chapter 135 Punishment
Yan Shuirou suddenly opened her eyes wide.

He gripped the sword tightly and pressed it down with all his might.

but……

Li Xian's finger, which was blocking the blade, was like an indestructible iron wall, preventing her sword, which was filled with the belief in victory and the will to kill, from advancing even an inch further.

"That's it?"

Li Xian looked at Yan Shuirou, who was so close to him, and was filled with disbelief.

"How can it be……"

blocked!
Li Xian not only blocked her sword strike, which carried the full power and true energy of a Foundation Establishment cultivator, but also...

He used only one finger!?

An unprecedented sense of shame, anger, resentment, and...fear erupted deep within her, almost threatening to overwhelm her reason!

"This is impossible!"

She let out a low shout, her sword flashed, and as she spun around, accompanied by an explosion of true energy, she slashed at Li Xian from another direction.

however……

The result remains unchanged.

Li Xian simply moved his finger to the side, once again accurately and easily blocking all the sharpness of her sword blade.

"boom!"

The Mysterious True Body is in operation!

Despite the immense power and sharpness of the sword energy contained in Yan Shui Rou's magic weapon-grade sword, it could not harm the blocking finger at all, even under the dissolving power of that gray-black stream of light.

The sword energy that Xiang Yangsheng and the other innate beings had sensed as if it were a thorn in their backs was blocked by Li Xian's finger the moment it vanished without a trace.

Even the scattered sword energy and force were extremely rare.

It was as if his finger wasn't a finger, but a miniature black hole, devouring all the energy that crashed into it.

"Is this your confidence?"

Li Xian spoke again.

Again and again...

At this moment, the shame and anger in Yan Shui Rou's eyes gradually disappeared, while resentment, horror, and fear rapidly increased.

"No! I don't believe it! I don't believe it! How could I, a superior immortal seedling, be unable to suppress a mere martial artist like you?! How could I, a dignified Foundation Establishment cultivator... be unable to kill a mere Innate cultivator like you?!"

With a sharp cry, Yan Shui Rou unleashed a new killing move with her sword, unleashing powerful true energy and swirling a vast sword aura as she charged towards Li Xian once more.

only……

The gap is too big.

With Li Xian pointing his finger across again, the short distance of one meter became an insurmountable chasm that she could not cross no matter how hard she tried.

Although Yan Shui Rou had already broken through to the Dao Foundation stage, her physique, true qi, and perception were all many times superior to those of ordinary innate beings.

But, in the end, she was only born as a fairy.

Moreover, he had only been cultivating in the Great Luo Immortal Sect for less than two and a half years.

In such a short time, most of the time was spent breaking through realms, so how could there be time to study swordsmanship and movement techniques?
Moreover, as soon as she broke through to the next realm, she couldn't wait to find Li Xian, wanting to avenge her previous humiliation. She didn't have time to cultivate magic or develop magical power.

Relying on his rudimentary swordsmanship...

Every sword strike she made was crystal clear to Li Xian, and the process of her power eruption was perfectly evident to him.

The pressure that such a celestial seedling brought him was not as great as that brought Yuan Xing, the Dao Foundation of Xingtian Palace.

At best, he is only slightly better than An Jing before he broke through to the next level.

If it were the Cloud Swamp Trial instead, perhaps he could have a good fight.

But now...

"You are too weak."

Li Xian met Yan Shui Rou's sword strike again with a flick of his finger.

A powerful and vigorous energy bursts forth.

It hit her with perfect precision on a weak point where her strength was concentrated.

"Oh!"

The sword that was struck by the projectile seemed to have been hit by a cannonball. With a deafening roar, countless bursts of energy and power, which had not been properly refined and condensed, exploded in all directions, instantly tearing the surrounding tables, chairs, grass, and flowers to shreds.

It wasn't until these powerful energies exploded in all directions, causing destruction, that the guests of the Foundation Establishment Ceremony finally woke up from their daze and retreated as quickly as possible.

Some of the immortal seedlings and innate beings who were already standing at a distance couldn't help but tremble with fear after being awakened.

"Entering the Dao through rebellion! Entering the Dao through rebellion! It truly is entering the Dao through rebellion!"

"The rumors from back then were true! Senior Brother Li... he truly has the strength to defy the odds and enter the Dao!"

"My goodness! It is said that as long as a disciple can fight against a Foundation Establishment cultivator with a Congenital body, he will be given special training by the sect! If such a person does not die young, he will surely rise to great heights and even forge a Golden Core, becoming immortal for all time! Senior Brother Li will actually become such a legendary figure in the future!?"

Thanks to Xiang Yangsheng's previous explanation, everyone's impression of Li Xian had changed.

His past experiences were even imagined as a legendary tale of enduring humiliation and hardship.

Seeing him unleash such astonishing combat power again, defying the odds and entering the Dao, comparable to legends, these saplings and innate beings were naturally extremely excited.

"Mr. Li!"

On the other side, Yan Shui Rou, who was knocked back by the sword strike, let out another scream.

Her understanding and values ​​were impacted like never before.

How can he be so strong?!
How could Li Xian be this strong?!

"Don't you understand? You are just a pawn."

Li Xian calmly said, "Yan Cailian chose a fool like you as a pawn because she was already out of options."

These words instantly made Yan Shui Rou realize something.

Mr. Li, what you said is true!

He has always possessed the ability to defy the odds and enter the Dao, so even knowing it was a trap, he still went to the appointment.

He is very confident.

She thought she had gotten information from Yan Cailian and seen through Li Xian's outward strength but inner weakness. She even firmly believed that a great figure like Yan Cailian, who was a true master, had no reason to lie to her.

But actually...

Yan Cailian had no other choice but to use Li Xian as a pawn, sending her to her death in order to force Li Xian to reveal a weakness.

And she actually believed it, just like that.

What is this if not foolish arrogance?
"It's time to finish."

Li Xian strode forward, leaping upwards.

He stood there, like a god or demon, majestic as a mountain.

But as soon as he moved...

It was like an insurmountable, towering mountain that suddenly collapsed.

The momentum unleashed in that instant was like a mountain collapsing and the earth splitting, surging down with destructive power that seemed poised to annihilate the fields and rivers ahead.

It can shift mountains and rivers, and turn seas into fields!
Under this oppressive aura, even though Yan Shui Rou was a Dao Foundation cultivator with spiritual roots and was born with access to the Heavenly Gate, drawing upon the power of heaven and earth, she still couldn't muster any power to counter the destructive force emanating from Li Xian.

In a single collision, her momentum was completely shattered.

Not only was breathing difficult, but even the circulation of vital energy and blood in the body seemed to be affected.

By the time she finally managed to break free from this oppressive aura and swung her sword to intercept him, Li Xian had already pounced on her.

It was still just a flick of the finger.

Her horizontal sword strike was deflected.

The violent force seemed to have a life of its own, drilling along the blade of her sword toward her right hand that was holding the sword, instantly severing the meridians in her arm one by one.

"Ah!" The intense pain caused her to lose her grip on the sword. It flew out of her hand amidst the shockwave and landed on the roof beam of the pavilion several meters away.

Immediately afterwards, Li Xian suddenly opened his other hand and aimed it at her face, like a large net grabbing at her.

Her reaction, far superior to that of a Dao Foundation Realm cultivator, allowed her to immediately perceive Li Xian's intentions.

Her powerful physical abilities enabled her to react by quickly retreating.

but……

This reaction was too obvious.

Not to mention that Li Xian was using the Seven Stars of Fate to discern the trajectory of all her true energy with the Broken Army Star, even without activating the Broken Army Star, he could still judge the angle and direction of her retreat based on his rich combat experience.

With a slight movement of Li Xian's arm, his palm instantly covered Yan Shui Rou's entire face.

Then, he grabbed Yan Shui Rou's head and, using the momentum of his attack, lifted her into the air, propelling her several meters forward, like carrying a rag doll, before slamming her hard onto the ground!
"boom!"

The moment Yan Shui Rou's head and body collided with the ground, the entire ground seemed to tremble slightly.

Like a giant elephant, stomping its feet fiercely.

The floor cracked instantly.

"Li... sob..."

Painful groans and struggles came from beneath his palm.

Arms flailing, legs kicking wildly.

Li glanced at it first.

Truly worthy of being called the Foundation of the Dao!
He's very healthy!
He lifted Yan Shui Rou's head, which he was holding tightly, again, and then pressed it down hard!
"Oh!"

Stone chips flew everywhere, and dust filled the air.

All the immortal seedlings and innate beings who witnessed this scene twitched their brows and trembled in their hearts.

Too bad!
"Senior Brother Li, please stop!"

At that moment, a voice couldn't help but rang out.

Li turned his head away.

But then Jiang Xiaoyu stepped forward.

She knew in her heart that everything Yan Shui Rou had done was deserved and she had only herself to blame.

but……

Even if Yan Shui Rou has wronged anyone, she...

I've done right by her!

Therefore, even though she knew she had no right to speak up for Yan Shui Rou, she still stood up.

"Senior Brother Li, please let her go. Knowing her personality, defeating her in front of everyone is more painful than killing her. She has received the punishment she deserves..."

Jiang Xiaoyu said.

"Uncomfortable?"

Li released his grip and stood up.

He glanced at Yan Shuirou.

Yan Shui Rou's eyes were filled with pain and fear.

There was pain, but even more so, there was resentment.

even……

The resentment could not be hidden.

She can't understand this kind of pain.

“I know my request is unreasonable. We can offer compensation. She… is no match for you, not even worthy of being your enemy. With your pride, you wouldn’t kill someone like that…”

As Jiang Xiaoyu spoke, she turned to Yan Shuirou: "Sister Rou, this is a world where the strong are respected, and right and wrong are meaningless..."

"Rewarding those who deserve it and punishing those who deserve it are not meaningless."

Li Xiandao.

"Oh... wrong... should be punished..."

Lying on the ground, covered in blood and mud, Yan Shuirou heard these words and gave a bitter laugh amidst her pain: "Then you...abandoned your lover...you are heartless and ungrateful...you shouldn't be punished..."

"They should be punished."

Li said calmly.

He looked at Yan Shuirou: "I won't kill you."

Upon hearing this, both Yan Shui Rou and Jiang Xiao Yu were taken aback.

Jiang Xiaoyu secretly breathed a sigh of relief.

really……

Li Xian's current personality is just as she guessed.

And the mist and water are gentle...

Deep in his eyes, however, lay a hidden joy, as if he had escaped death.

But her surprise lasted only a moment before Li Xian made his move, unleashing a burst of powerful energy that instantly struck Yan Shui Rou's heart meridian!

"Oh!"

Penetrating force!
That seemingly living "vitality" instantly destroyed all her meridians!

"Cough cough..."

A mouthful of blood spurted from Yan Shuirou's mouth.

"You...you destroyed my cultivation?"

She stared intently at Li Xian, the resentment in her eyes almost bursting out of their sockets.

"If you make a mistake, you should be punished."

Li Xiandao.

These words...

Yan Shui Rou, who had a strong desire to survive, swallowed back all her words of resentment.

After all, this is the Great Luo Immortal Sect!
Even if one's cultivation is destroyed, as long as one accumulates enough merit, one can still find miraculous pills to recover.

And she was a top-tier immortal seedling...

She also forged a superior foundation in Taoism, and was still able to find people to bet on her.

but……

When she thought that was the punishment, things were clearly not over yet.

After Li Xian destroyed her cultivation and severed all her meridians, he dragged her towards a lotus pond not far away.

This scene immediately made Yan Shui Rou realize something. Her eyes widened abruptly, and her voice trembled: "Li... Mr. Li... what do you want to do?"

Li Xian did not speak.

They dragged her along, leaving a trail of dust, until they arrived at the lotus pond.

Jiang Xiaoyu couldn't help but step forward: "Senior Brother Li, you...didn't you say you wouldn't kill Senior Sister Rou?"

"I won't kill her."

Li Xian forcefully flung her into the pool amidst Yan Shui Rou's terrified, painful, and unwilling screams.

"As long as... she can climb out of the water on her own with these injuries."

　The chapter has been extended to complete the description of how Yan Shuirou was treated.

　　Just like when "Li Xian" was kicked and seriously injured, then fell into the river and drowned.
