Xizi opened his eyes and woke up, holding a red scepter transformed from a python, and looked at Lin Heng.
The thick lips on the roc's head parted, and a cold voice came out.
"You're the Lin Heng that Dijiang mentioned?"
Lin Heng was slightly surprised to hear Xizi address Dijiang by his given name.
After all, the other guardians all called Dijiang "Big Brother".
Lin Heng sensed something was amiss from the way Xizi was addressed.
Without considerable strength, Xizi would never have been so arrogant.
His attitude towards Dijiang also reveals that he is an unruly and rebellious person.
Based on Lin Heng's own guess, this challenge probably won't be as easy as the ones against Gou Mang and Xuanming.
The moment this thought crossed Lin Heng's mind, sure enough, the next second, Xizi's words confirmed Lin Heng's guess.
" Lin Heng, although I also want to leave this place as soon as possible..."
But I can't tolerate any injustice.
"If you can't demonstrate the strength to defeat me, don't expect me to let you pass like those other guys."
As soon as Xizi finished speaking, he raised his hands and clenched them into fists.
His violent aura immediately surged forth.
Faced with Xizi's full-force aura, even Lin Heng was instantly blasted away.
Thrown hundreds of meters away by the force of the Xizi, Lin Heng barely managed to regain his footing.
"What terrifying pressure!"
When Lin Heng looked at Xizi again, he couldn't help but exclaim in amazement.
Judging from the aura that Xizi just displayed, Lin Heng could tell that she was hundreds or thousands of times stronger than the Blood Sea Queen, who was at the Cosmic Spirit Realm.
Is this the true strength belonging to the powerful beings of the upper realm?
Lin Heng began to feel a longing in his heart.
Even though he was already invincible in the Nine Heavens, he was deeply lonely inside.
Xizi's powerful move successfully reignited Lin Heng's passion.
When Xizi lowered his aura to the Ninth Grade Sovereign and looked at Lin Heng again, he was clearly stunned for a moment.
"Um?"
Seeing that Lin Heng felt not fear from his terrifying aura, but instead was full of fighting spirit, Xizi was quite surprised.
"That's interesting."
" Lin Heng, I remember Dijiang saying something..."
"You, like your master, possess the eight fundamental elements."
"I dare not, I dare not, engage in a fierce battle with you, using only the Lightning Origin."
Lin Heng had originally intended to do the same, and now that Xizi had taken the initiative to propose it, he certainly wouldn't refuse.
The key point is that Dijiang's previous words had also subtly hinted at Lin Heng.
Xizi's use of the Lightning Origin can be described as having reached its ultimate level.
Dijiang also wanted Lin Heng to learn from him.
If Lin Heng can bring all eight fundamental sources to the Xizi understanding the Lightning Origin.
Let alone the four gates of the three levels of Heavenly Estate.
Even if they go to the upper realm, they will still have the ability to protect themselves.
Lin Heng smiled slightly and readily agreed.
"Since you are interested, senior..."
"This junior will certainly give it a try with Senior Xizi."
As Lin Heng spoke, he raised his right hand, and a bolt of lightning, as thin as a hair, flashed across his palm.
Seeing that Lin Heng was ready, Xizi said no more.
As silence fell over the arena, a sense of oppression spread out from the two of them.
Time ticked by, but neither Xizi nor Lin Heng made the first move.
The two hovered in mid-air, standing facing each other, their eyes fixed on every corner of each other's bodies.
It seemed that both of them were waiting for the other to make a mistake.
The time it takes to drink a cup of tea quickly passed.
Both remained in the same posture during the final moment of silence.
From a distance, the two figures in mid-air looked like ancient sculptures.
At some point!
A thunderbolt suddenly struck less than a hundred meters away from Xizi.
In that instant, Xizi's gaze shifted slightly, glancing towards the direction of the thunderclap.
Lin Heng seized the moment, and lightning flashed across his entire body.
" Thunder Moves in Eight Directions, Flash Step!"
As the power of lightning circulated, Lin Heng's footsteps took strange steps in mid-air.
His body appeared to be spinning, but in the instant he turned around, Lin Heng vanished from the spot like a ghost.
Xizi's expression immediately turned solemn.
His eyes darted around, trying to find Lin Heng's whereabouts.
But a flash of lightning always appeared beside him and then disappeared, making it impossible for him to figure out Lin Heng's movement trajectory.
Lin Heng was seen moving around, but he did not make a move.
Xizi that the flaw he had deliberately revealed had not fooled Lin Heng.
At this moment, Xizi also abandoned his plan to strike a thunderous blow while Lin Heng was attacking.
In his hands, the primal Lightning Origin, which had been gathering momentum, surged forth rapidly.
" Rushing Thunder Moves, Destruction!"
Xizi a loud shout, the Lightning Origin surging around his body immediately dispersed.
The Lightning Origin manifested as thousands of lightning bolts that spread out.
Such a dense barrage of attacks forced Lin Heng, who was dodging and weaving, to retreat repeatedly.
After all, no matter how fast you are, you can't dodge indiscriminate, dense attacks just by speed.
Just as Lin Heng was dodging the lightning attack.
He was a step behind Xizi on the right.
They didn't hesitate at all to find the Xizi where Lin Heng was located.
Suddenly, Xizi turned around, pushed off the ground with his toes, and shot out like an arrow.
While still flying rapidly in mid-air, Xizi raised his hand and grabbed a flashing lightning bolt beside him.
The lightning bolts transformed into a lightning sword in his hand.
When Xizi reached Lin Heng's rear and blocked his retreat, Lei Jian also thrust directly at Lin Heng's vital points.
Something unexpected happened to Xizi.
Seeing the lightning sword thrusting towards him, Lin Heng revealed a strange smile.
Could it be?
A bold guess popped into Xizi's mind.
He had previously revealed a flaw in his plan, intending to lure Lin Heng into a trap.
However, the other party seemed to have seen through this weakness and did not attack.
Could it be that Lin Heng is deliberately creating an opening for himself right now?
The idea had just popped into Xizi's mind.
Lin Heng immediately followed up with his action.
He clenched his fists, and countless lightning bolts began to flash rapidly all around him.
" Thunder Stars, Radiance!"
Countless lightning bolts quickly enveloped Xizi.
Because of this unexpected situation, Xizi's movements were a beat slower.
When he looked forward again, Lin Heng had already retreated a hundred meters.
Xizi wanted to give chase, but suddenly the countless lightning bolts burst into a dazzling display.
The dazzling lightning made it difficult for Xizi to open his eyes.
With a flash of lightning.
A terrifying aura of destruction caused Xizi's expression to change drastically.
Ignoring Lin Heng, Xizi had no choice but to crush the lightning sword in his hand and use the power of lightning to form a protective shield around his body.
As the protective shield took shape, the flashing lightning also exploded outwards.
'Boom!'
What appeared to be a tiny lightning bolt could cause an explosion that sent a giant mushroom-shaped cloud rising into the air.
