Chapter 1224 - Maximum Difficulty
Liu Wuxie vanished where he stood, his figure splitting into two afterimages. Both afterimages struck Zhou Chen and his companion simultaneously; only sheer, overwhelming speed made such a feat possible.
The oncoming sword aura collapsed under Liu Wuxie's assault. His palm slammed into both youths before they even realized what had happened. In the blink of an eye, the clash began and ended, leaving the crowd stunned and breathless.
Zhou Chen and his companion flew back like broken kites, crashing heavily to the ground with two loud thuds. They trembled like aspen trees as pain wracked their frames.
Having stepped into the fifth-level Transcendent Realm, Liu Wuxie's combat strength had soared to terrifying heights. Even against an expert at the ninth-level Origin Conversion Realm, he could stand his ground without faltering.
Hissing sounds rippled through the gathered disciples. Shock flickered across their faces as they realized what they had just witnessed.
None could believe that a mere fifth-level Transcendent cultivator had defeated two inner disciples at the third-level Origin Conversion Realm. Even experts at the fifth-level Origin Conversion Realm might fail to accomplish such a feat.
"Who is he? Why is he so terrifying? His strength rivals that of a fifth-level Origin Conversion cultivator!" one inner disciple exclaimed, his voice echoing in disbelief. Those ahead in the queue no longer dared to dismiss Liu Wuxie based on his cultivation alone.
"Could it be him?" muttered a disciple at the sixth-level Origin Conversion Realm, his brows furrowing as he drew everyone's attention.
"Who?" the surrounding disciples asked eagerly, desperate to know Liu Wuxie's identity.
"Two days ago, something strange happened in the Outer Sect," the disciple explained. "A brat auctioned off Wisdom Stones and killed an inner disciple who tried to rob him."
Murmurs swept through the crowd. Many inner disciples had already heard fragments of the events that had occurred that day.
"An outer disciple killed an inner disciple?" Shock and interest surged through the listeners.
