How to Fight

You bastard, die!

Ji Lie finally exploded.

Huang Xuanji and the others made no move to stop him. They badly needed someone to test Xu Yi's true strength.

They were too mindful of their status and too protective of their lives. The fact that Ji Lie was willing to charge into battle could not have suited them better.

As for some peerless genius, some emperor on the verge of ascending the throne—through the eyes of the Soul Sensing Ancestors, they were scarcely better than grass.

Ji Lie erupted. His body did not move, and no Water Malice appeared. Yet a bronze bell the size of a palm suddenly materialized in his left hand. Deep water patterns were engraved across its surface. His right palm struck out, and ripples of mysterious power sprang into being, crashing against the bell. In that instant, the water patterns carved into the bronze seemed to awaken.
