Chapter 139 – Next!
Li Guanqi had defeated three disciples of the Profound Gate Pavilion in a row. His strength was undeniable.
Everyone present acknowledged his power. He remained calm no matter who stood before him. News of his prior feats had spread like wildfire, and now, all eyes were on him—everyone wanted to see just how far he could go.
Soon enough, the fourth disciple stepped onto the stage. He was a muscular youth.
He gave Li Guanqi no time to breathe, launching a violent flurry of attacks. His gaze sharpened with each strike, as if he didn’t care what injuries he suffered, as long as he could kill Li Guanqi in exchange.
But Li Guanqi moved like he was out for a stroll, slipping effortlessly through the storm of blows. The moment an opening appeared, he struck—three swift slashes with the sword in his right hand. His sword sliced through the youth’s palm, the tip of the blade halting just a finger’s length from his eye.
The youth gulped and said hoarsely, “I’ve lost...”
Fifth opponent! Three moves!
Sixth opponent! Seven moves!
The audience watched with bated breath. The Profound Gate Pavilion disciples fought harder than ever, spurred by their elders’ fury and scoldings. These were no ordinary cultivators—they were the elite of their sect.
Spells! Talismans! Sword techniques!
They threw everything they had at Li Guanqi. His vital force drained rapidly under the relentless pressure, and wounds began to accumulate across his body.
After severing the ninth disciple’s hand, Li Guanqi, now swaying on his feet, plunged his sword into the ground to steady himself and straightened his back proudly. His face was as pale as a sheet, but his blurry gaze swept across the stage as he roared, “Next!”
