Li Shiwu possesses great strength and the "holy" realm that stands at the pinnacle of mankind, but...
He lacks actual combat experience and does not have the courage to fight Zhang Guangmu to the death.
After being slashed by Zhang Guangmu, only the cage hand and part of the armor were broken. Li Shiwu's originally inflated confidence was cut off by 70 to 80% in an instant.
He has completely lost the courage to fight Zhang Guangmu to the death.
The reason why he didn't escape immediately was simply because Li Shiwu still retained his last bit of sanity.
He knew very well that when facing Zhang Guangmu, at least in terms of explosive power, speed and strength, he was at an absolute disadvantage.
Facing a man like Zhang Guangmu, if you choose to run away, you will only die a frustrated and meaningless death, just like a defeated and bereaved dog.
If you choose to fight Zhang Guangmu head-on, maybe...
Maybe he can die with a little more momentum.
Yes.
Only those who have reached a certain height and have personally fought with Zhang Guangmu can appreciate how terrifying this person is.
At the moment when he was cut away, Li Shiwu even had some doubts. Is Zhang Guangmu really a human being?
Is there a possibility that Zhang Guangmu is actually the illegitimate son of a god, born sacred, so he can become such a ghost?
Otherwise, there is absolutely no way to explain how Zhang Guangmu can be so strong!
Ma Claw's Li Shiwu's mind was in a mess, and he had no idea how to deal with such a menacing Zhang Guangmu, so he just relied on instinct to deal with it.
The demon dragon blade shining with icy blue flames collided with the black-red caged hand that seemed to be infused with the soul of the demon god. The strong wind created was extraordinary, as if it was just an escaping force that could tear apart the space barrier.
The air was filled with pitch-black fire and pale thunder, which contained the most extreme destructive power.
Clang! Clang! Clang!
The harsh buzzing sound, accompanied by the crackling sound, resounded throughout the world.
With just three moves, Zhang Guangmu slashed Li Shiwu till he was covered in blood. Saint Demonic Battle Armor, who was originally wearing a ferocious and mighty body, was chopped to pieces and could not recover in a short period of time.
Even Li Shiwu's arm was chopped off.
The chief young executive of the Federation, who had just defeated Magic Emperor Li Shisan and completed the great cause of Two Realms Star's unification, was struck backwards and flew away by Zhang Guangmu's three swords.
Bang!
Li Shiwu hit the barrier of flames, and his back was burned black, looking miserable.
Zhang Guangmu originally wanted to take advantage of the victory and pursue it, add another blow, and chop off the opponent's head, but...
It was too late but it was too late. At the critical moment, Xia Lianshan, the only one among Seven Stars who had never communicated or contacted with Zhang Guangmu this year, stepped forward and stood in front of Li Shiwu.
Officially ranked second is [Jade Xuan Star] Xia Lianshan.
This middle-aged man who chose to enter the industry in his fifties is very well maintained and looks very young, that is, in his thirties. His black hair is draped over his shoulders, and his eyes are like abyss, as if to attract all the light in.
Compared with most young people who entered the industry at the same time, Xia Lianshan has an absolute crushing advantage in terms of personal ability.
Before participating in this year's "The Path of the Great Emperor", Zhang Guangmu specifically checked this person's information. I heard that in Real World, the other person was also a "young genius" who practiced martial arts. He was good at eighteen kinds of martial arts and was proficient in all kinds of weapons.
When he actually met Xia Lianshan, just by glancing over, Zhang Guangmu knew that the rumors were true. This guy...
They are indeed very strong. Not only are they more talented than ordinary people, but they can even practice hard for decades. Such people usually have beliefs, ideals and perseverance.
"You're very nice."
Zhang Guangmu focused his eyes on Xia Lianshan and commented condescendingly. "Don't be arrogant when you win, don't be discouraged when you lose, don't care about the reputation, focus all your energy on your own path, everything you do is just to go further on [Transcendent Martial Dao]..."
"It is easier said than done to put aside the seven emotions and six desires."
"In any other period in history, you would most likely be able to dominate the entire world, and even change the situation where magicians are the only one."
"It's a pity that you were born in the wrong era."
At the first glance, Zhang Guangmu could tell that Xia Lianshan was really capable.
——This [Jade Xuan Star] and even Imperial Body Forging Technique have cultivated to an extremely advanced level, almost completely integrated into instinct, reaching a level that is only three or four realms lower than himself!
Normally, Zhang Guangmu would describe such a person as "terrible"!
But...
Such a powerful Xia Lianshan, standing in front of Zhang Guangmu at this moment, besides smiling bitterly, he didn't know what kind of posture to put on.
This just shows that Zhang Guangmu's efforts over the past seven years have all been worth it!
Xia Lianshan, the second person Seven Stars who once stood on the same running line and was even slightly stronger than him, is now far behind, and can only look up at the back of Zhang Guangmu!
The gap has widened to a level that cannot be ignored!
"I was indeed born in the wrong era."
Xia Lianshan looked at Zhang Guangmu in front of him, feeling his mouth full of bitterness. "I thought that Saint Mage with the pseudonym 'Yue Yiji' was already invincible and talented like the World. I didn't expect that someone like you could be born in these two worlds."
"The geniuses who were born in the same era as you... are all sad."
"You are strong, but..."
Xia Lianshan took a deep breath, and the energy and blood throughout his body surged and boiled, making a roaring sound like a surging river. The sound was like a bell, deafening. "For me, this is also an opportunity for me to have a glimpse of a higher realm."
"If I don't get stronger, I'd rather die!"
Xia Lianshan wants to chase the limits of the [Magic Fight] sequence and hit a higher level.
He has always felt that Saint Magic Fighter is not the limit of this road.
The trinity of soul, energy, and body is just a beginning, a prelude to unlimited potential. There is still a long way to go.
What a pity...
Standing in front of Zhang Guangmu, whether he can survive or not is a question.
We can only fight with all our strength!
At this moment, Xia Lianshan did not hesitate to mobilize his spirit, blood, magic energy and the radiation energy hidden in his body, and directly inhaled the [Boundless Demonic Power Treasure Ring] hanging on his chest into the power engine of his heart, using his biggest plug-in as fuel!
Today's battle, even if it can only temporarily repel Zhang Guangmu, even if [Boundless Demonic Power Treasure Ring] is completely destroyed, from Xia Lianshan's point of view, it is still worth it!
"The most powerful one, Zhang Guangmu..."
Xia Lianshan's eyes were full of blood-red light, with no black pupils or whites visible. The blood vessels around his body were filled with hot red heat like magma, and his whole body seemed to be glowing. "Come! Fight with me!"
After using his Golden Finger [Boundless Demonic Power Treasure Ring] as fuel, Xia Lianshan vaguely felt that he seemed to have touched the threshold of Saint Magic Fighter, and was only one step away from reaching the next level.
So...
He decided to treat Zhang Guangmu as the best [Grinding Stone] he had seen since his debut, making himself sharper and more powerful.
In an instant, Xia Lianshan turned into an aurora and crashed into Zhang Guangmu.
The next second, he flew back faster than when he came.
Zhang Guangmu chopped off Xia Lianshan's clavicle, ribs and xiphoid process of the sternum with a single stroke of his sword.
At this moment, Xia Lianshan's heart was exposed to the air.
At the critical moment of life and death, his eyes were at a loss.
How could he die here before he became [God of Combat]?
The strong desire to survive suddenly shattered the [Boundless Demonic Power Treasure Ring] in the furnace of his heart.
At this moment, Xia Lianshan has truly reached the level of [Saint Magic Fighter]!
Broken bones, muscles, and nerves are all quickly healed and restored to their original state in just one breath.
He stood up again, his arrogance was overwhelming, like a demon.
Just breathing makes the air hotter.
Compared with Li Shiwu, a young man who had his arm cut off by three swords and lacked fighting experience and determination to fight to the death, Xia Lianshan is much stronger!
He can hit at least three Li Shiwu!
This time, Xia Lianshan and Zhang Guangmu didn't say anything.
Both of them knew that they were hostile to each other until death!
Clang!
Clang!
Clang! ...
The light and shadow are gorgeous, the sound is trembling, and the energy is stirring.
The flame barrier fought by both sides dissipated. It can be said that the sky collapsed, the sun and the moon lost light, and the world turned upside down!
Xia Lianshan The more he beats, the more frustrated he becomes.
He was 100% sure that Zhang Guangmu's swordsmanship was so poor that he was nothing compared to himself.
But...
For some reason, Zhang Guangmu seems to have an absolute advantage in speed and strength at all times. The most terrifying thing is that his movement skills are always just right, and he seems to predict every attack of Xia Lianshan.
Fists and kicks, elbow cannons, whip kicks, grappling, strangulation...
Any offensive attack will be completely seen through by Zhang Guangmu.
To be honest, if Zhang Guangmu hadn't been holding a knife in his hand, Xia Lianshan would have felt that the other party was more of a [fighter] than himself.
Zhang Guangmu gave him the feeling that he was a pervert who "turned to magic after Hand-to-hand combat became invincible", biting away at his physical strength, energy and mental will.
There was no suspense in the whole battle.
No need to explode, this is crushing from start to finish.
Zhang Guangmu slashed out with his sword lightly, killing [Jade Xuan Star] Xia Lianshan on the spot.
Under the erosion of the icy blue flames, Xia Lianshan's corpse and soul were burned out in an instant.
Because [Magic Fighter]'s extraordinary path emphasizes the complete integration of spirit and body, and it is especially taboo to transfer the soul and spiritual body. You cannot split your soul into many parts like Ma Wu did.
So...
Xia Lianshan completely received the lunch.
At this moment, the Little White Ballss floating in the air began to cheer.
Because this fight scene is not only full of special effects and extremely exciting, but it also has a deeper meaning - after killing Xia Lianshan, Zhang Guangmu has become a man standing on top of Seven Stars!
