In the stands, the soldiers of the Tiger and Panther Legion had stopped talking.
Their eyes were fixed on the two people in the arena, their expressions filled with shock.
" Zhou Lie's Creation Divine Fist was actually blocked?"
"Not only did it block the view, it looks like we suffered a slight loss as well."
"Is this Han Xuanji... really that good in actual combat?"
He Guanshan sat upright in his chair, his fingers still lightly tapping the armrest, his face revealing neither joy nor anger.
But his gaze was more focused than before.
Hun Qianxue a slight sigh of relief, but quickly composed himself.
He is the head of the Soul Household and cannot lose his composure in front of others.
But in his heart, he had already secretly cheered for Han Xuanji.
Zhou Lie, however, was not in a good mood at the moment.
He originally thought that with his practical experience and mastery of the Dao of Creation, defeating Han Xuanji would be a piece of cake.
But now it seems he was wrong.
This opponent was much stronger than he had imagined.
He showed no mercy when he fought Han Xuanji just now.
The Creation Divine Fist is incredibly powerful, and the fact that it could be blocked shows that Han Xuanji has a deep understanding of the Five Elements Dao Principle.
However, Zhou Lie was puzzled: was the Five Elements Great Grappling Hand of the Five Elements Pavilion really that powerful?
His Creation Divine Fist is also a top-tier inheritance, so why did it feel like he was being restrained in this exchange?
Zhou Lie was overwhelmed with mixed feelings, unable to reach a conclusion, and could only let out a cold snort:
"What a magnificent Five Elements Great Grappling Hand! As expected of a top-tier Cultivation Method at the True God level, your skill surpasses that of the True Disciple of the Five Elements Pavilion."
As soon as he finished speaking, he quickly withdrew his fist and stepped back, creating distance.
Upon closer inspection, one can see that his right fist is slightly red, a mark left by the erosion of the power of life and death.
If it weren't for his strong physical body, he would probably have suffered a hidden loss.
Battles between cultivators who Dao of Principle are always fraught with unknowns.
If you don't understand the other person's cultivation direction, you can easily suffer a loss without realizing it.
Zhou Lie, however, was too confident. After all, according to rumors, Han Xuanji had not comprehended the Dao Principle of Life and Death at all.
"Damn it, could that bastard have sold me false information?"
Zhou Lie began to harbor resentment towards Wu Daoyuan.
After all, he hadn't personally witnessed Han Xuanji's performance in the Life and Death Ravine.
If that's true, then he's been thoroughly fooled.
Seeing Zhou Lie retreat into a defensive stance.
Han Xuanji did not rashly pursue, but withdrew his hand, his expression remaining calm, and said indifferently:
"It's just a trivial trick, not worth mentioning."
To others, the Five Elements Great Grappling Hand, one of the core inheritances of the Five Elements Pavilion, is True God- level Cultivation Method. In reality, it is because the inheritance left by the founder of the Five Elements Pavilion is only a part of it. The complete Five Elements Great Grappling Hand is a genuine Sage- level technique.
However, later generations have rarely grasped its essence, and even a powerful figure like the contemporary Five Elements Pavilion Master, Eternal True God, has not been able to fully master it.
Only by integrating the Five Elements Dao Principle principles can Han Xuanji unleash his full power.
It's just that he's limited by his cultivation level.
After their first encounter, he roughly figured out Zhou Lie's strengths and weaknesses.
This person's Dao of Creation is indeed profound and refined; his fist techniques are fierce and powerful, each punch carrying the unique "power of life and creation" of the Dao.
The moment it hits, it inflicts devastating damage on the enemy, while the user possesses a strange regenerative ability, making them unafraid of injury and practically invincible.
However, his complete version of the Five Elements Great Grappling Hand is precisely the counter to this power.
The five elements interact in a cycle of mutual generation and restraint, forming a closed loop. No matter how the opponent's strength changes, a solution can be found within this cycle.
"Interesting."
Zhou Lie flexed his wrist, his eyes still serious, but now with a hint of approval.
"Your combat skills are indeed quite impressive."
In just a short while, his right hand injury was completely healed.
The powerful vitality of the Dao of Creation was manifested. Although he was not a cultivator specializing in the Dao of the Physical Body, his physical body was in no way inferior to those body-refining cultivators of the same level, and his vitality was even stronger.
Han Xuanji's power of life and death only slightly weakened his regenerative abilities.
Zhou Lie's lips curled into a cold smile:
"Then let me see just how capable you really are."
Before he finished speaking, his figure suddenly vanished from the spot.
It wasn't teleportation, but rather an extreme speed that left no afterimage.
This is a skill he honed in battles against ferocious beasts; it doesn't require any fancy Movement Method, but relies purely on explosive power to overwhelm his opponents.
Han Xuanji remained calm. He cultivated the Dao of Spacetime and Fate, possessing extremely strong perception abilities. Even without relying on his sight, he could still clearly capture Zhou Lie's every move.
"Here."
Han Xuanji suddenly turned around and pointed with his left hand.
The Great Life-Extinguishing Finger.
This is one of the two secret techniques he obtained by signing in at the Life and Death Ravine. It is based on the Dao of Death and can extinguish life with a single finger.
This was also the first time Han Xuanji had actually used her skills in real combat after signing in.
A grayish-white finger strike shot out, meeting Zhou Lie's fist coming from the side.
boom!
It was another head-on collision.
Zhou Lie was forced back several steps, and a patch of grayish-white mottled marks appeared on his fist, traces of his life force being eroded.
His expression changed slightly. The power of this finger strike far exceeded his expectations. If he hadn't reacted quickly and used his power of creation to protect his fist the moment they made contact, his entire arm would probably have been damaged.
"Indeed, your Dao of Life and Death is in no way inferior to those prodigies I've encountered."
Zhou Lie frowned, a profound shock welling up inside him.
The Dao of the Five Elements is already a Tongtian, and there are quite a few cultivators who have Sage through the Way of the Five Elements.
Han Xuanji still had the energy to comprehend the Dao of Life and Death, and had even achieved such mastery, which completely exceeded his expectations.
It should be understood that although the Eternal Dao Master is to condense ten Dao Principles, it does not mean that he must condense all of them into top-level Dao Principles such as life and death, reincarnation, and the Five Elements.
For example, those who follow the Dao of the Five Elements have many choices, such as the lower-level Dao Principles of "scorching heat," "explosion," and "purification" that lean towards fire, or they can break down the Five Elements Dao Principle into five higher-level Dao Principles: metal, wood, water, fire, and earth.
His Dao of Creation also has multiple branches, which can condense higher-level Dao Principles such as "change" and "derivation"...
Meanwhile, there are also those who have mastered the top-level Dao Principles, and each of them is an unparalleled genius.
But this was the first time he had seen it in Thousand Souls City.
He had previously challenged various heroes in Nine Mysteries City and defeated many of them, but in the end he suffered a crushing defeat to a cultivator who had cultivated three superior Dao Principles at the same time.
For this reason, Zhou Lie has been slow to break through, in order to master other higher-level Dao Principles.
"You probably don't know, but I've also mastered two top-tier Dao Principles."
Zhou Lie suddenly spoke, his words filled with arrogance.
This left Han Xuanji somewhat puzzled.
What two top-tier Dao Principles?
What does this have to do with him?
