Chapter 241 Save you? Robbery!

Li Xijun's earth-shattering [Vermilion Bird Burning Heaven Seal] not only instantly incinerated the terrifying Asura phantom, but its remaining scorching fist intent also evaporated the thick bloody aura that permeated the square, leaving only scorched marks and stunned crowds.

After a brief moment of deathly silence, the members of the Great Xia State Army team erupted in low gasps of surprise.

"I...I didn't see that wrong, did I? That...that Shura was killed by hope Jun with one punch?" Cai Meier rubbed her eyes hard, her face full of disbelief.

That's a terrifying being capable of unleashing attacks at the level of the Outer Realm!

"That's—? What kind of fist technique is that? Such terrifying fire power... Did hope-jun create some powerful martial art while creating techniques again?"

Jiang Qiyue's beautiful eyes widened as she felt the lingering heat in the air. She felt that this punch was many times more profound than her aunt's Vermilion Bird Seal.

Wei Ying took a deep breath, suppressing the shock in her heart, and said with a smirk:

"Just how many trump cards is this guy hiding? But—well, it's not so unacceptable that it happened to him."

Her tone quickly shifted from shock to an almost numb "habit," after all, Li Xijun's extraordinary talent had repeatedly pushed the limits of their understanding.

The other team members were mostly the same; after the initial shock, they felt more awe of their captain's abilities and a subtle sense of pride that said, "Just as I expected."

Meanwhile, the French national team players who were lying on the ground with varying degrees of injury were dumbfounded, staring at Li Xijun as he slowly landed as if they had seen a ghost.

"My God, he just—." One of the team members stammered, staring at the charred area where the phantom of Asura had once stood, his mind completely blank.

"That's impossible! That phantom was almost at the threshold of the outer scene!" another person exclaimed, unable to comprehend how someone of the same age could unleash such destructive power.

The most shocking and unacceptable sight was Chaos, who struggled out of the rubble of the stone wall, covered in blood.

He watched helplessly as the terrifying Asura who had driven him to the brink of despair and even needed to burn his life essence to barely withstand two sword strikes was reduced to ashes like paper by Li Xijun's seemingly casual yet domineering punch!

The stark contrast and the enormous gap were like an invisible hammer, shattering all his arrogance and confidence. "How—how can he be so strong—" he muttered to himself, his golden hair stained with dust and blood. His once proud blue eyes were now only filled with blankness, disbelief, and—deep shame.

Recalling his previous contempt, provocation, and disdain towards Li Xijun, he felt a burning pain on his face, as if he had been slapped hard by an invisible hand.

His pride and joy seemed so laughable and insignificant in the face of the opponent's earth-shattering and sea-boiling punch!

"What was I so proud of before?" The shame and humiliation overwhelmed him, and the reality of his crushing defeat made him wish he could faint on the spot.

High in the sky, the French team leader's facial muscles twitched slightly; his previous anger had long been replaced by extreme shock.

"Heaven—the unity of heaven and man? And it's a state of near-perfect mastery of the concept of heaven and man, how is this possible!"

"How old is he? What kind of monster is this Li Xijun?!"

His voice trembled slightly.

A martial artist who has reached the threshold of the unity of heaven and man is a genius that is only seen once in a hundred years, and to be able to push a martial art to the level of the unity of heaven and man is already the appearance of a legendary martial saint!

But he never expected that Li Xijun had already reached the state of perfect harmony between man and nature.

Su Nianying, standing to the side, maintained a calm demeanor, her cool voice ringing out as if stating a fact:

"For Li Xijun, this is nothing. His talent far exceeds what you and I can imagine."

"In comparison, you and the so-called disciples of the Thunder God of the Western Alliance... are nothing special."

This woman with the high ponytail spoke so casually, but her inner world was far from as calm as it appeared:

The Celestial Mastery... in just a few days? Back in Japan, his Vermilion Bird Technique hadn't even reached this level yet. This little monster—his rate of progress is terrifying!

Professor Xu, who remained silent throughout, had an incredibly deep gaze behind his glasses.

He pushed up his glasses, trying to hide the turmoil in his heart, but his slightly trembling hand betrayed his extremely unsettled state of mind.

"The Great Perfection of Heaven and Man—" A tidal wave of emotions surged within him. "Even the Wind Saint, back in his Intent Stage, couldn't achieve what Li Xijun has reached. Just how far can you go?"

Li Xijun, of course, was unaware of the psychological state of those high in the air.

After dealing with the phantom of Shura, his gaze fell on Chaos, who was embedded in the wall and looked weak.

He walked over slowly.

As Chaos saw Li Xijun approach, he struggled to say something, perhaps an apology, or perhaps gratitude for being saved. His voice was strained as he began, "Li... thank you... I—"

However, Li Xijun couldn't be bothered to listen to his nonsense.

"Bang!"

A clean and swift chop to the neck cut Chaos off before he could utter a word, knocking him unconscious decisively.

"Save you? Of course not." Li Xijun, who always held grudges, said expressionlessly.

Without any hesitation, he began to search Chaos's body. Soon, he took out a mud-carved stone tablet about the size of a palm from his inner armor. It was cold to the touch but contained astonishing lightning fluctuations.

A complex and mysterious lightning totem is engraved on the stone slab, with wisps of purple lightning flowing freely on it, radiating a violent yet pure essence of thunder!

"Good stuff." Li Xijun's eyes lit up slightly. He could clearly feel the powerful thunderous energy contained within, which would greatly benefit his improvement of the Thunder Blade Intent.

Without any hesitation, he stuffed the stone slab into his pocket.

The other members of the Great Xia State Army team were taken aback at first, but then showed expressions of "I've learned something" on their faces.

Wei Ying's eyes lit up, and she immediately called out, "What are you all standing there for? Help 'clean up the battlefield'! Our French friends are so badly injured; we need to help them 'lighten their burden' so it doesn't affect their subsequent matches!"

"That makes sense!"

"Helping others brings joy!"

So, under the horrified and humiliated gazes of the other members of the French team, the members of the Great Xia State Government team very "helpfully" "safeguarded" all their spoils.

Several rare and exotic flowers and herbs that shimmered with spiritual light, several pieces of ore containing special energy, and some scattered ancient coins and ornaments were snatched away by Su Nianyi, Ju Mengya and others.

Wei Ying tallied up the "spoils of war" and nodded in satisfaction: "Looks like they found a good spot before, and they reaped quite a harvest. We've gotten a good deal."

"Now that things are over, let's go," Li Xijun said calmly, as if she had just done something insignificant.

The Great Xia Kingdom team left the ravaged square with a bountiful harvest, leaving behind only a group of unconscious French team members and heartbroken French players.

After returning to the hotel, the group rested briefly and then, without further delay, boarded the arranged aircraft and left Panama, heading towards New York, the final venue for this global national competition.
