Chapter 69 - Pang Li’s Threat
Pang Li’s sword gleamed a deep crimson, enveloped in his spirit qi. Though he possessed a Heavenly Spirit Root, his talent was nothing exceptional.
Li Guanqi let out a cold chuckle and lunged forward with his sword.
Clang clang clang!
Each thrust was swift as lightning, rapidly striking two weak points on Pang Li’s blade. The force of the blows stopped Pang Li’s downward swing mid-motion.
Undeterred, Pang Li unleashed a flurry of aggressive sword techniques, but none brought him closer to Li Guanqi. To Li Guanqi, Pang Li’s furious attacks were riddled with glaring flaws.
Clang!
As Pang Li completed his final stroke, the crowd remained frozen in stunned silence.
Though he had managed to force Li Guanqi back with a sweeping slash, the contempt in his eyes had already hardened into grim seriousness. After this brief exchange, Pang Li could tell that Li Guanqi was undoubtedly the stronger fighter.
Twirling his sword with a flick of his wrist, Li Guanqi taunted, “Is this all you’ve got? This isn’t fun at all.”
Boom!
The stone tile beneath his feet shattered. Li Guanqi shot forward like a panther, activating Lightning Flash to gain terrifying speed. In just a few breaths, he closed the distance. By the time Pang Li registered his movement, Li Guanqi was already upon him, his eyes glinting coldly.
Pang Li raised his sword in a desperate block, but Li Guanqi’s attack was not so easily thwarted. He twisted and maneuvered his sword like a snake, moving the blade around Pang Li’s sword.
