"Boom!"
Li Changfeng moved.
This time, he held nothing back.
The terrifying power of a Viscera Refining Realm expert was fully displayed at this moment.
He seemed to have transformed into a rampaging wild elephant, the ground trembling with every step he took.
"Primordial Monument Splitting Hand!"
Li Changfeng roared, his palms like two giant stone tablets, pushing towards Lu Chen with the momentum of overwhelming mountains.
Before the palm wind even arrived, the terrifying pressure made Lu Chen feel breathless.
The surrounding air seemed to explode from the pressure of this palm, emitting a piercing shriek.
"So strong!"
Zhao Tieshan and the others in the distance watched with pounding hearts.
Even from this distance, they could feel the destructive power contained within that palm strike. If they had been the ones to face it, they probably wouldn't have lasted a single move, being crushed into a pulp instantly!
"Brother Lu, dodge quickly!" Wang Xiaoliu shouted anxiously, tears almost streaming down his face.
But Lu Chen did not dodge.
In the face of an expert at this level, dodging would only put him in a more passive situation, even revealing an opening that could lead to a fatal blow.
There was only battle!
There was only a fight!
"Kill!"
Lu Chen's eyes turned bloodshot, and he let out a furious roar.
He no longer focused solely on defense, but chose the most insane fighting style—an offensive!
The Hundred Refinements Steel Saber in his hand instantly turned into a dazzling streak of light, slashing towards Li Changfeng's palm wind.
Mountain Splitting Saber Technique—Split Mount Hua!
At the same time, the Profound Nether Cold Qi within his body poured into the saber without reservation.
The originally dazzling saber edge was instantly covered by a layer of dense black mist, the surrounding temperature plummeted, and the moisture in the air even condensed into tiny ice crystals.
"Clang!"
Blade and palm met.
Li Changfeng's palm was covered with a thick layer of internal energy to protect his body, and he actually managed to block Lu Chen's incredibly sharp blade!
Sparks flew!
"Break!"
Lu Chen gritted his teeth, his arm muscles bulging, all his strength pressing down on the hilt.
Vibrating Force!
The moment the blade touched, he activated the Vibrating Force technique from Stone Crushing Palm.
"Buzz—"
The blade vibrated violently.
This high-frequency vibration, combined with the all-pervasive Profound Nether Cold Qi, instantly broke through Li Changfeng's protective internal energy.
"Hm?"
Li Changfeng's expression changed slightly.
He felt a strange vibrating force transmitted through his palm, making his bones go numb. That sinister cold qi seized the opportunity, piercing his meridians like countless fine needles.
"Scram!"
Li Changfeng roared, his internal organs shaking violently.
An even more immense surge of internal energy erupted from his body, directly sending Lu Chen and his blade flying backward.
"Bang!"
Lu Chen crashed heavily into a stone pillar of the Main Hall's entrance, the pillar instantly showing several cracks.
"Cough cough..."
Lu Chen coughed out a mouthful of bloody saliva, but the fighting spirit in his eyes grew even fiercer.
"Is this the Viscera Refining Realm? It's nothing special!"
Lu Chen wiped the blood from the corner of his mouth and charged forward again.
He was like an unkillable Little Strong.
Although he was inferior to Li Changfeng in strength and internal energy, he had the perfected Iron Cloth Shirt for protection, the [Force Dissipation] trait for damage reduction, and bones as tough as fine iron.
Even with Li Changfeng's powerful palm strikes, three-tenths of the force was dissipated, and another three-tenths was blocked. The remaining four-tenths, though causing his blood and qi to surge, was not enough to be fatal!
Moreover, he had speed!
The agility brought by the Bone Refining Realm, combined with the movement techniques he had practiced underwater, made him like a slippery loach, darting around Li Changfeng crazily.
"Profound Nether Hand!"
"Stone Crushing Palm!"
"Mountain Splitting Saber!"
Lu Chen unleashed his entire repertoire of skills to the extreme.
Sometimes he slashed with his saber, sometimes he abandoned the saber and used his palms, and sometimes he rammed with his shoulder.
Every attack was accompanied by that troublesome Profound Nether Cold Qi.
Gradually, Li Changfeng found himself becoming somewhat flustered.
His speed was slowed by the cold qi, his internal energy was being eroded and consumed more rapidly by the cold qi, while this young man before him fought more fiercely and grew stronger with each passing moment!
"This...how is this possible?!"
The onlookers were all stunned.
They had originally expected this to be a one-sided slaughter.
Who would have thought that Lu Chen could fight back and forth with a Viscera Refining Realm expert?!
"Heavens! Am I seeing things? Hall Master Lu is actually suppressing Elder Li?!"
"Too strong! This is a true genius!"
"Lu Chen! Lu Chen!"
The members of the Black Water Gang began to shout Lu Chen's name frantically, their voices shaking the heavens.
Chen Wanli watched the figure in the arena, like a demon god, his eyes filled with shock and complexity.
He knew Lu Chen was strong, but he hadn't expected him to be this strong.
Challenging someone of a higher realm!
This was something that legends said only true disciples of great sects could achieve!
"Damn it! Damn it!"
Listening to the cheers around him, Li Changfeng's expression grew increasingly ugly.
A dignified Elder of the Li Family, a Viscera Refining Realm expert, was unable to deal with a mere Bone Refining Realm opponent?
If this got out, how would Li Changfeng ever survive in the martial world again? What about the Li Family's reputation?
Humiliation!
This was naked humiliation!
"Boy, you've thoroughly angered this old man!"
Li Changfeng stopped abruptly, letting Lu Chen's blade hack into his shoulder.
"Clang!"
The blade cut through his clothes but was blocked by a layer of red light, unable to advance further.
Lu Chen's heart leaped. He instinctively felt a great crisis.
"Retreat!"
He wanted to pull his blade back.
But Li Changfeng's hand had already firmly gripped the back of the blade.
"Trying to run? Too late!"
Li Changfeng raised his head. His originally cloudy old eyes were now bloodshot, emitting a chilling red light.
"I didn't want to use this move, as it greatly damages the body."
"But to kill you, it's worth it!"
Unable to defeat him after a prolonged fight, the Li Family elder lost face. He decided to stop holding back. A surge of Qi and Blood far more powerful than before erupted from his body. This was the mark of the Viscera Refining Realm—Qi and Blood Manifestation!
