Chapter 786: The Appointment
Zhan Tianxiu, who was rescued by the Divine Martial Emperor using the power of formation, turned pale.
He had lost. He had also lost.
He had witnessed Li Pin defeat Zi Zaitian, Luo Wuji, and Yu Shenghui one after another before making a move. However, he still faced Li Pin head-on, believing that he was different from them and could perform better than them.
But the result was no different. In the end, he met the same fate as Zi Zaitian, Luo Wuji, and Yu Shenghui, rushing forward with rebuke and mighty battle intent, only to be defeated miserably under everyone's watchful eyes.
Had it not been for the Divine Martial Battlefield and the Divine Martial Emperor's support, he would have had no choice but to exceed his limits and unleash uncontrollable power to break the situation against that sword strike forcibly.
But once he used power beyond his limits to break the situation and attracted Eternal Oblivion Force, the balance of victory would tilt toward Li Pin. The situation would snowball under that influence, widening the gap until total defeat became only a matter of time.
Zhan Tianxiu opened his mouth, wanting to say something. "I... I..."
However, upon recalling Li Pin's words that provoked him into battle, he lowered his head in dejection.
That's right, they were afraid. It was one thing for Li Pin to defeat Zi Zaitian. They could claim Zi Zaitian was careless and caught off guard by some unknown means. But Luo Wuji and Yu Shenghui were defeated in a direct, aggressive confrontation. They were soundly defeated in a head-on battle.
Based on his performance in this battle, it was clear that Li Pin's strength was on par with anyone in the top ten.
No, worse. Wu Meng, Zi Zaitian, and Luo Wuji were in the same tier. Yu Shenghui was already in a different, higher tier. Only someone from an even higher tier could defeat Yu Shenghui head-on.
That meant Li Pin's displayed strength was already slightly above the people at Yu Shenghui and Yan Sheng's level.
