I Am Li Jing, the Pagoda-Bearing Heavenly King

"Li Jing, how could you be so despicable, resorting to a sneak attack? I truly underestimated you. Haven't you always been the epitome of honor and righteousness? How could you use such a vile tactic now? You're utterly a scoundrel!"

"Despicable? Me, despicable? Hmph! What do you think you are? If I'm a villain, then you're not even as good as dogs! Today, no matter what, I will kill you all to avenge my people!" Li Jing said coldly.

"Is that so? But don't you think that's stupid? There are so many of us, are we afraid of you? There are seven of us and you alone, do you think you can withstand seven of us?" Another disciple from Penglai Immortal Island sneered, a hint of disdain flashing in his eyes.

"That's right. Although we are cultivators, our combat power is no less than that of ordinary cultivators, and it is even more terrifying. So what if you have the strength of God Emperor? If the seven of us join forces, even a Late-Stage Divine Venerable expert probably can't withstand us. Just wait to be killed!" Another disciple from Penglai Immortal Island also spoke up.

"You are all too naive. Let me tell you, in the face of absolute power, any schemes and tricks are futile!" Yang Jian's lips curled into a cold, mocking smile.

"Is that so? In that case, then you try and see if you can withstand our attack." Li Jing snorted coldly, and suddenly a dazzling golden light emanated from his body, while a huge Golden Peng Phantom appeared behind him.

"Golden Peng Phantom, Golden-Winged Peng Bird, this is Li Jing's ultimate move, Golden Peng Phantom, slash!" Li Jing shouted, and a terrifying wave of energy instantly erupted from his body.

"Buzz!"

The void around Li Jing twisted and contorted, and countless golden rays burst forth from Li Jing body, gathering in Li Jing palm like a dazzling golden sun. This sun crashed down on Yang Jian's head, creating a suffocating sense of oppression.

"A mere trick!" Yang Jian sneered upon seeing this, and the purple and blue Sword-Ray in his hand suddenly surged, directly meeting Li Jing's attack and instantly clashing head-on with Li Jing's Golden Peng Phantom.

After a tremendous roar, the void collapsed instantly, and the violent aftershocks swept across the entire world, tearing everything around it to shreds. Even the earth itself collapsed, turning into ruins, a scene of utter devastation.

"Oh no! Everyone, retreat immediately! He's terrifying!" After feeling the terrifying power of the aftershocks, Li Jing's expression changed drastically, turning deathly pale. He couldn't help but shout loudly, and then turned and fled without hesitation.

"Hmph, too late!" Yang Jian snorted coldly, and the purple and blue Sword-Ray in his hand suddenly surged, instantly transforming into a huge Sword-Ray that slashed down directly towards Li Jing.

"Bang!"

The next moment, a terrifying explosion rang out, and a terrifying force exploded directly.

A terrifying shockwave instantly spread in all directions, and the terrifying force immediately blew away a large number of disciples from Penglai Immortal Island.

All the disciples of Penglai Immortal Island showed a look of horror on their faces, and their bodies were sent flying backward.

"Not good!"

Upon seeing this, Li Jing's expression changed drastically, and he flew backward, landing directly next to a disciple of Penglai Immortal Island.

With a muffled thud, the disciple from Penglai Immortal Island was instantly pierced through the head by Li Jing's sword, his body separated from his head, turning into a spray of scarlet blood that splattered on the ground.

"Yang Jian, I'll remember you! You just wait!" Li Jing said to Yang Jian with a gloomy face. After saying that, he turned around and prepared to run away.

Yang Jian's face instantly turned cold. He moved swiftly and blocked Li Jing's path, then slammed a punch into Li Jing's body.

Li Jing's body was immediately thrown backward, then crashed heavily into a large tree behind him, shattering the towering tree into pieces. The entire tree broke in two, and the terrifying shockwave caused Li Jing to vomit several mouthfuls of blood.

Li Jing felt as if his internal organs had shifted, his Qi and Blood surged, his face turned pale, and he spat out a mouthful of blood, his face showing an expression of utter horror.

"How is this possible? You... how could you be so powerful?!" Li Jing stared at Yang Jian, his face showing disbelief and horror.

"Hmph, you mere ants dare to provoke me? You're courting death!" Yang Jian looked at Li Jing with disdain, his terrifying aura erupting and a monstrous fighting spirit bursting forth from Yang Jian.

"What?! He... he actually comprehended the power of the Principle?!" Upon seeing the aura emanating from Yang Jian, everyone's faces showed an expression of disbelief.

"Oh no! He's also grasped the power of the Principle! Let's attack together and not get entangled with him, otherwise we're no match for him!" At this moment, Li Jing realized what was happening, his expression changed drastically, and a solemn look flashed in his eyes as he shouted at the other disciples of Penglai Immortal Island.

"Yes, Senior Brother!" Upon hearing Li Jing's words, all the disciples of Penglai Immortal Island responded in unison, and then shot out one by one, rushing fiercely towards Yang Jian.

"Hmph, courting death!" Upon seeing this, Yang Jian coldly glanced at them, then unleashed a sweeping purple and cyan Sword-Ray from his hand, instantly unleashing a sharp Sword-Ray that swept towards everyone.

A series of ear-piercing sounds of sharp blades cutting flesh rang out instantly, and streams of blood spurted out. The disciples of Penglai Immortal Island were sent flying backward in an instant.

"Bang!"

The sounds of blood spurting out instantly came from the mouths of these Penglai Immortal Island disciples. Every disciple of Penglai Immortal Island knelt on the ground, their faces filled with pain and struggle.

A deep wound appeared on their chests, and a trickle of scarlet blood gushed out. Clearly, Yang Jian had not held back and had dealt them a fatal blow.

"Not good!" Upon seeing this, Li Jing's expression changed slightly, turning extremely ugly. Yang Jian's strength was even more terrifying than he had imagined. He had no confidence in killing Yang Jian in such a short time, so he had already considered fleeing. However, his purpose in coming here was to eliminate Yang Jian, and the task was not yet accomplished. If he were to return in such a sorry state, what would become of his prestige?
