Life-Burning? Let Me Try

A deafening sound echoed through the sky.

The entire arena collapsed, kicking up a cloud of dust.

Everyone eagerly awaited to see who would ultimately win.

Some people, however, used their Divine Sense to check the results first, and their expressions turned grim.

As the dust gradually settled, lightning still crackled around the fragments of the arena.

One person was standing, and the other was lying down.

The man standing there was panting heavily, his body covered in blood.

The person lying face down was taking in more air than exhaling, and was in imminent danger.

"We lost."

On the Immortal Alliance's side, Huo Junrui clenched his fists in disbelief.

The person lying there was Lei Cang.

The people around them stared wide-eyed and gritted their teeth.

They lost two out of three games and won only one.

This means that you need to win three rounds in tomorrow's second duel.

This is extremely difficult.

"Haha, the cultivators of my Half-Spirit Valley are indeed a cut above the rest. Gentlemen, you flatter me."

At that moment, a cheerful voice rang out.

A person descended from the sky and landed on the shattered arena.

This person has a long, thin face and thin lips, making them seem unapproachable.

Looking towards the Immortal Alliance, this person cupped his hands in greeting:

"Gentlemen, I await your arrival at Half-Spirit Valley for the second round of the duel. See you tomorrow."

Having said that, he left with the blood-covered cultivator.

Wang Qianxue's face was gloomy, but she still spoke to Huo Junrui beside her:

"Hurry and save Lei Cang; we can't let him die."

Huo Junrui nodded and immediately jumped off the stands, heading towards the shattered arena.

He fed Lei Cang a elixir, then quickly summoned some people for help and left with Lei Cang.

With Lei Cang's defeat, all the onlookers looked disappointed.

Some people even couldn't help but curse.

They accused Lei Cang of being a complete waste, yet he still lost.

However, those who criticize are ultimately in the minority; most people remain relatively rational.

Everyone saw it clearly.

At the last moment, the cultivator from Half-Spirit Valley took a purple elixir.

That was not the Boiling Spirit Pill, but the Life-Burning Pill.

He sacrificed his own lifespan to boost his condition in a short period of time.

The Golden Light Seal used by that cultivator was merely an ordinary second-grade Law Technique.

However, due to taking the Life-Burning Pill,

This resulted in a significant increase in the power of the Golden Light Seal.

It far exceeds the scope of a second-grade Law Technique.

Although it's not quite up to the level of a third-grade Law Technique, it's not far off.

It's normal that Lei Cang couldn't stop it.

If anyone's to blame, it's the people in Half-Spirit Valley.

Using the Boiling Spirit Pill in a duel is one thing.

Even the Life-Burning Pill, a highly potent elixir with severe side effects, was used on people.

I don't know how those cultivators agreed to Half-Spirit Valley's offer.

How much did Half-Spirit Valley actually give to those three cultivators?

That's what made those three cultivators willing to risk their lives for Half-Spirit Valley.

The Xunxian Town Immortal Alliance is shrouded in sorrow.

After the message was sent back,

Sikong Ying and the others who remained at the Immortal Alliance all shook their heads and sighed.

Even if Li Yunjing came to the Immortal Alliance,

The news of his Core Formation spread, but it did not dispel the gloom.

Unable to win tomorrow's duel.

Even if Li Yunjing had reached the Nascent Soul Condensation, it wouldn't have mattered.

This battle was influenced by the will of the Immortal Alliance headquarters.

Logically speaking, the Xunxian Town Immortal Alliance should have won this battle.

They are currently at a disadvantage, and their chances of winning are slim.

If they fail, they will all be forced to leave Xunxian Town.

The Immortal Alliance headquarters must also have some complaints about them.

They actually messed this up.

Even without punishment, he probably won't be given important responsibilities afterward.

"Master's wife, why don't you let me try my hand at tomorrow's duel?"

Seeing the worried expressions on everyone's faces, Li Yunjing took the initiative to speak.

Immediately, everyone's eyes fell on Li Yunjing.

"You...?" Wang Qianxue asked, puzzled.

"Sect Leader Li, you have a deep understanding of traditional combat techniques?" Huo Junrui asked as well.

Li Yunjing smiled and said, "When my master was still alive, he taught me some combat Law Technique."

I often engage in magical duels with my master, and I am very familiar with the traditional procedures for such duels.

I haven't used it in a long time, so I don't know if I've gotten rusty.

Upon hearing this, Li Jie immediately said:

"Why doesn't Sect Leader Li demonstrate his skills?"

Upon hearing this, everyone else looked on with anticipation.

Li Yunjing nodded, pondering for a moment.

Suddenly, Li Yunjing pointed his right hand at the ground in front of him.

"Turning the earth into steel!"

He gave a low shout, and nothing happened.

But Li Jie walked over and first stepped on the piece of land that Li Yunjing pointed to.

"So hard!" Li Jie exclaimed softly.

He immediately squatted down and tapped it with his hand.

The ground, however, emitted dull thuds.

This is clearly not the sound a hammer should make when striking the ground.

"Get out of the way!"

At this moment, Huo Junrui shouted loudly.

Li Jie turned around and saw Huo Junrui making hand Hand Seals.

A chilling aura surrounded him.

Without a second thought, Li Jie jumped to the side and rolled away to avoid the danger.

A flash of cold light suddenly shot out from beside Huo Junrui.

In the blink of an eye, it landed on that land.

The cold light shattered instantly, causing no effect whatsoever.

"What a powerful method of turning the ground into steel!" Huo Junru exclaimed in surprise.

Although Li Yunjing was at the Golden Core Stage...

However, Huo Junrui's Law Technique were also quite powerful.

With Huo Junrui's Foundation Establishment Perfection cultivation,

Even a glint of cold light can make a hole.

"Huo Junrui, are you planning to kill me?"

At this moment, Li Jie stood up and shouted angrily at Huo Junrui.

Huo Junrui came to his senses and apologized repeatedly:

"Sorry, sorry, I got too excited. After the duel is over, I'll treat you to a month at the Drunken Immortal Pavilion."

Upon hearing this, Li Jie snorted, "Only a month at the Drunken Immortal Pavilion, who do you think you are?"

Huo Junrui repeatedly said kind words, which finally calmed Li Jie down.

Wang Qianxue had already pulled Li Yunjing away.

"Yunjing, it seems I'll have to ask you for help tomorrow," Wang Qianxue said.

Li Yunjing nodded. "Don't worry, Master's wife, I will win."

Wang Qianxue smiled and said, "Don't push yourself too hard. If you feel you can't win, just admit defeat. There's no shame in it."

"Master's wife, if we lose, we'll lose Xunxian Town," Li Yunjing couldn't help but say.

Wang Qianxue, however, didn't care at all.

"A mere Xunxian Town is nothing."

But Li Yunjing didn't think so.

"Without Xunxian Town, what will become of my Luozhen Sect? How could the Half-Spirit Valley let the Luozhen Sect?"

"What are you afraid of? If you really lose, just come with me, and I'll take care of your Luozhen Sect."

"I still have some connections at the Immortal Alliance headquarters," Wang Qianxue said.

Li Yunjing was taken aback.

Suddenly, he remembered Wang Qianxue's identity and some rumors.

Everyone knows that Wang Qianxue is a steward sent by the Immortal Alliance headquarters.

Why would a steward from the Immortal Alliance headquarters come to such a remote place as Xunxian Town?

Many people don't understand this.

Later, a rumor began to circulate.

It is rumored that Wang Qianxue has an unusual background.

His father was an elder at the Immortal Alliance headquarters.

However, Wang Qianxue was rebellious by nature and disobeyed her father.

Her father was furious and exiled Wang Qianxue to Xunxian Town so that she could reflect on her actions.

Coincidentally, some cultivators who had been traveling in Tianyuan Xunxian Town to stay.

It did indeed bring some related news.

For example, there is indeed an elder in the Immortal Alliance headquarters whose daughter is very rebellious and disobeys this elder.

For example, the elder's surname was indeed Wang.

But whether it was Wang Qianxue or not, nobody knows.

Now that Wang Qianxue has said that,

Li Yunjing couldn't help but think of this rumor.

"Master's wife, is your father really an elder of the Immortal Alliance?" Li Yunjing couldn't help but ask.

Wang Qianxue simply smiled at Li Yunjing, neither confirming nor denying.

However, judging from his appearance, Li Yunjing felt that it was very likely.

"Hiss!" Li Yunjing gasped.

If that's the case, then Wang Qianxue's background is truly extraordinary.

The elders at the Immortal Alliance headquarters are all top cultivators in Tianyuan, if taken individually.

Its influence is far-reaching; even a stomp of its foot can make the entire Tianyuan tremble.

"Come, tell me about your process of Core Formation."

Back in Wang Qianxue's courtyard, Wang Qianxue immediately asked.
