Li Zhōujūn Shocks Everyone

Murong Xue's eyes narrowed slightly. She ignored Li Zhōujūn's arrogant demeanor at the moment and turned to Sū Nán, saying in a gentle tone, "Have you thought it through? If you follow the Cloud Dwelling Mountain Lord, your life will be ruined."

"My father always said, the path you choose, you must walk to the end, even if you have to crawl," Sū Nán replied.

"Silly girl, what your father said has some truth to it, but things are done by people. You need to learn to be flexible."

Murong Xue sighed, feeling a bit angry but also increasingly fond of the young girl. After all, an ordinary person in Sū Nán's position would have already betrayed the master they had just taken.

Li Zhōujūn, seeing this, was speechless. This woman was openly poaching his disciple. Did she not take him seriously at all?

[Ding: Detected that Murong Xue completely looks down on the host. It's time for the host to show your strength!]

[Ding: System has issued a quest: Battle Murong Xue and deter the petty! A grand prize will be awarded upon completion!]

Looking at the quest issued by the system.

Li Zhōujūn was stunned. He thought, System, are you reliable at all? Murong Xue is a formidable opponent!

[Ding: Whether the system is reliable or not, the host will know if they try!]

Li Zhōujūn felt like crying, "I'm just afraid that trying might be the death of me!"

Despite his words, Li Zhōujūn's gaze fell upon Murong Xue. He smiled, "Murong Xue, if you truly want to poach my disciple, then defeat me. If I lose, it will prove my skills are inferior, and Sū Nán can naturally transfer to your tutelage. However, if you lose, do not try to poach her again."

"What? No way? Did I hear that right? This useless Li actually wants to spar with the Murong Mountain Lord?"

"How dare he!"

"Liu Yan is at the peak of the Void Return Stage, and even he was beaten so badly by the Murong Mountain Lord that he cried for his mother. If I'm not mistaken, the Murong Mountain Lord's cultivation has already broken through the Void Return Stage's Void Immortal realm and reached the Integration Stage!"

"Exactly. He, this useless Li, a mortal ant with no cultivation at all, dares to challenge a mighty cultivator in the Integration Stage. Isn't this just playing around?"

As soon as Li Zhōujūn spoke, the other mountain lords, shocked, couldn't help but start discussing.

Only Liu Yan's face turned extremely dark.

You can say Murong Xue is powerful, fine, but can you stop using me as a foil? The way you're acting makes me lose a lot of face!

At this moment.

Murong Xue's beautiful eyes narrowed as she asked Li Zhōujūn, "Is this true?"

"Of course," Li Zhōujūn nodded.

"No way, Master? You just said no one could take your disciple, and now you're using me as a bet for a match? Is that really okay?"

Sū Nán covered her mouth, her eyes welling up with tears as she looked at Li Zhōujūn.

Li Zhōujūn grinned, "Your master has been too low-key for too long. Today, it's time to let others know that my Cloud Dwelling Mountain isn't to be trifled with by anyone."

Sū Nán was stunned. She stammered, "M-Master, are you really a hidden powerful cultivator? You're not lying to me, are you?"

Li Zhōujūn smiled but said nothing.

The other mountain lords, upon hearing Li Zhōujūn's words, all wore expressions of watching a clown.

They were already preparing to watch how the Murong Mountain Lord would deal with this guy who was all talk.

At the same time, Li Zhōujūn looked at Murong Xue and said with a smile, "Make your move."

"Alright." Murong Xue couldn't understand where Li Zhōujūn, a person who couldn't cultivate, got the courage to provoke her today.

However, since Li Zhōujūn was asking for a beating, she would oblige him.

So, Murong Xue stopped wasting words. Sitting on the mountain lord's seat, she raised a fair, white hand and gently tapped her fingertip in the void.

The next moment, crystal-clear ice spikes condensed in front of Murong Xue.

"Go," Murong Xue's lips parted slightly.

As her voice fell, the ice spikes that had condensed before her flew towards Li Zhōujūn like a storm of pear blossoms, covering the sky and earth.

Li Zhōujūn, looking at the dense, flying ice spikes, felt extremely nervous.

But he gritted his teeth, clenched his fist, and threw a punch.

A loud bang.

If you find this book good, remember to add it to your bookshelf to avoid losing it next time.

It was as if Li Zhōujūn's seemingly ordinary punch had torn through the void, emitting a deafening roar. At that moment, all the ice spikes condensed by Murong Xue vanished into thin air.

"How is this possible!"

The mountain lords watched the scene before them, all standing up from their seats in shock, looking at Li Zhōujūn, who was still in his punching stance, in disbelief.

Mu Taiyu, looking at the scene, felt surprise but also nodded, acknowledging Li Zhōujūn's strength.

"Isn't this Cloud Dwelling Mountain Lord a cultivation cripple?"

"Yeah, that's what everyone says. Moreover, that strike from the Murong Mountain Lord seemed casual, but without the cultivation of the Void Return Stage, one truly couldn't withstand it. This Cloud Dwelling Mountain Lord is hiding his strength very deeply!"

"Not only that, but there were no spiritual energy fluctuations when this Cloud Dwelling Mountain Lord made his move. Could he be walking the path of those Body Refiners from ancient times?"

"Highly likely..."

At this moment, the various mountain lords began to discuss animatedly.

The newly initiated disciples didn't dare to breathe, the residual power emanating from the Mountain Lord-level experts was overwhelming. Even though the sect's experts had intervened to block it, the scene still left them shaken to their core; it was simply too powerful!

"You... you caught that?" Li Zhōujūn slowly withdrew his stance, still somewhat shocked.

This System's Five-Five Split ability is truly amazing!

"You were able to catch my attack. It seems you've been hiding your strength all these years," Murong Xue said, looking at Li Zhōujūn.

Originally, she had just wanted to scare Li Zhōujūn a little and would have stopped when the time was right.

She hadn't expected things to spiral out of control. This Li Zhōujūn fellow was quite the old fox, hiding so deeply!

"Thank you for going easy on me," Li Zhōujūn said with a smile.

"It seems I don't need to hold back anymore. Let's decide the winner in one move," Murong Xue said to Li Zhōujūn.

"My pleasure," Li Zhōujūn replied, full of confidence. After all, with the Five-Five Split ability, he couldn't lose to anyone, nor could anyone truly defeat him.

Therefore, Murong Xue could at most fight him to a draw; she couldn't possibly defeat him.

"Heavenly Snowfall, Sword Without a Trace!"

Murong Xue let out a soft cry, and a sword light shot out from her fingertip, heading straight for Li Zhōujūn.

As this sword light appeared, the entire Ascension Platform began to be covered in swirling snowflakes.

"It's the Murong Mountain Lord's Flying Sword divine ability!"

"Such speed!"

"The Murong Mountain Lord's cultivation has truly reached the Integration Stage!"

"If this sword were aimed at me, I fear my head would be severed before I even realized it!"

At this moment, the Mountain Lords, while shocked by the flying snow, also looked towards Li Zhōujūn. They wondered if this deeply hidden Mountain Lord Li could withstand Murong Xue's Flying Sword divine ability.

Immediately after, they saw Li Zhōujūn raise a hand in front of him and slowly form a 'V' sign. The Flying Sword, Murong Xue's stunning strike, was thus caught between his fingers.

"How is this possible!"

"He... caught it just like that?!"

"This Cloud Dwelling Mountain Lord's cultivation must also have reached the Integration Stage!"

The Mountain Lords' hearts churned like stormy seas upon witnessing this scene.

At the same time, Li Zhōujūn, with a smile on his face, waved the hand holding the Flying Sword.

The Flying Sword then flew back into Murong Xue's hand.

Li Zhōujūn looked at Murong Xue, who held the Flying Sword, and said with a smile, "Mountain Lord Murong, what do you think?"

"I lost," Murong Xue said, retracting her sword with a complex expression.

Although Li Zhōujūn hadn't made a move, the fact that he could effortlessly catch her strongest Flying Sword divine ability clearly indicated that Li Zhōujūn's strength was superior to hers.

"Girl, go back and cultivate properly with your master. I was wrong before; your master is indeed capable of teaching disciples. However, if your master dares to bully you in the future, come find me at Lingxue Mountain, and I'll help you get even."

At this moment, Murong Xue suddenly looked at Sū Nán, who was still in a daze, and a smile appeared on her face.

"Aren't you going to thank Mountain Lord Murong for her kindness?" Li Zhōujūn said with a smile. It was clear that Murong Xue truly liked the young girl Sū Nán.

"Ah, thank you, Mountain Lord Murong!"

Sū Nán, prompted by her master, quickly bowed to Murong Xue.

At the same time, Sū Nán was also very happy because her master was actually a super expert!
