Chapter 159: Battle with Li Qingxue

With a surge of rainbow-like qi and blood, Yang Tian resembled a fountain of life, terrifyingly powerful. His fierce and unyielding fist techniques struck out, crimson qi and blood swirling through the void, pressing Li Xuan back so that he could not approach even half a step.

The more Li Xuan fought, the more shocked he became. Yang Tian's blood energy was too formidable, of extremely high quality, like a burning furnace; even the blood energy within Li Xuan himself seemed to stagnate.

Li Qingxue watched from afar, her delicate brows slightly furrowed. Yang Tian's strength was indeed formidable, but she knew that this sudden surge of power would soon drop drastically.

"Bang!" With a punch, Li Xuan's steps retreated swiftly, his figure somewhat disheveled. At the same time, the Purple Cloud Treasure Mirror appeared in his hand, wisps of auspicious light swirling out.

Li Xuan activated the Purple Cloud Treasure Mirror. The divine patterns on the mirror trembled violently, and a dazzling purple light surged from its surface, shooting directly at Yang Tian's body, causing palpitations and terror.

Yang Tian sneered. The long river of blood energy within him shook repeatedly, and a blazing sun appeared on his fist. Scorching waves of fire swept in all directions, distorting the void itself.

Yang Tian threw a punch. Crimson light overflowed, the sun rotated through the void, unleashing its power, accompanied by a gale—the phenomenon of Wind Soaring Nine Heavens.

In the void, a clang resounded, earsplitting. Sparks flew, flames burst forth, and the dazzling divine light was shattered.

The blazing sun, indestructible, pierced through the vacuum. Li Xuan's face changed drastically. The Purple Cloud Treasure Mirror surged forward, emitting vast energy, rolling purple light attacking the sun.

Bang! Bang! A shocking collision erupted with dazzling light and sky-rending waves of fire. A crack appeared in the void, and faintly, a crimson fist could be seen smashing onto the Purple Cloud Treasure Mirror.

With a clang, the Purple Cloud Treasure Mirror hummed, a piercing sonic boom exploded, and it was directly sent flying by Yang Tian's fist force.

Li Xuan's steps retreated several paces. The blood energy within him churned, and a trace of blood seeped from the corner of his mouth. His face was extremely gloomy; he had been injured by the force of that punch.

Even Li Qingxue looked shocked. Although the Purple Cloud Treasure Mirror had just advanced to a Dao artifact, how could it be shaken by mere fist force? Yang Tian's physical body was too terrifying.

Many people around showed astonishment. Although this energy was not his own, he could control it with ease. If Yang Tian advanced to the same realm as Li Xuan, the effect would be entirely different.

Yang Tian licked his lips, sensing the considerable energy consumed within him. His mind began to tense. His figure suddenly flickered, and he dashed straight toward Li Xuan.

Clang! The murderous intent in Li Xuan's heart grew even sharper. A purple-golden sword appeared in his hand, its blade emitting a cold aura, a sharp metallic energy.

Li Xuan's blood energy crazily poured into the purple-golden sword. The purple-golden mirror emitted a strong light, suddenly floating in the air, releasing a sky-piercing sharpness.

"Ha!" Li Xuan shouted loudly. The purple-golden sword swelled to fifty zhang in height, its blade fierce, strands of divine patterns swirling, directly cutting through the vacuum.

The purple sword body rotated. One after another, sword qi appeared, overwhelming the sky and crushing the heavens, like layers of a purple galaxy falling, cutting off Yang Tian's path ahead.

The purple galaxy rolled, the vacuum twisted. Countless sword qi emerged, a rain of swords surging toward Yang Tian's body.

Yang Tian's fingers moved swiftly, like flowers falling in chaos. As his fingers interlocked, sonic booms exploded. His hands moved directly, changing in a thousand ways...

A small crimson seal gathered in the void, its contained might incomparably fierce, emitting strands of startling red light. Previously, when Yang Tian executed the Earth-Shaking Seal, he could not bring out even a fraction of its power, but now he could unleash seventy to eighty percent of its might.

With a clang, the small seal rotated in the void, drawing in the surrounding essence of heaven and earth, which surged in violently.

"Earth-Shaking Seal!" Yang Tian's hand suddenly clenched, and the crimson seal charged straight into the purple sword river, releasing a terrifying aura and directly smashing open a breach.

"Boom! Boom!..." Violent energies interwove, stirring up the entire purple sword river. A massive vortex appeared, and the momentum of this heaven and earth underwent a tremendous shift.

"Explode!" Yang Tian roared. The massive vortex suddenly burst apart, crimson and crystalline, piercing through layer upon layer of the purple sword river as the Earth-Shaking Seal directly punched through.

The surrounding void twisted, and cracks like spiderwebs crumbled, unleashing a startling surge of air that swept horizontally in all directions.

Just as these people were watching, a dazzling golden light burst forth, scorching and terrifying, directly slashing toward Li Xuan's head.

Li Xuan was greatly startled, a trace of fear in his eyes. He let out a loud roar: "Li Qingxue, what are you standing there for? Why haven't you made a move!"

At that moment, an elegant figure soared into the air. A divine light flickered beneath her feet, and she appeared directly in front of Li Xuan.

Above Li Qingxue's head, a snow-white lotus suddenly appeared. Divine light spouted from its lotus roots, entwined with divine patterns. As energy coursed through, the snow-white petals rapidly expanded.

The snow-white lotus quickly shrouded the sky. Strands of light cascaded down, and a terrifying momentum rose, directly cutting off the path of the dazzling crimson light.

"It really is the Golden Dragon Seal, that little bastard!" Gu Yun roared repeatedly in the void. When he saw the Golden Dragon Seal in Yang Tian's hand, his face immediately darkened.

Yuan Xia's gaze was calm. Her tall and slender figure stood firm in the sky, her whole body radiating five-colored divine light. Her black hair danced in the void, and her stunning face showed no change, like a goddess queen, breathtakingly beautiful.

In the extremely fierce battle, the surging energy within Yuan Xia had somewhat diminished, but the two opponents were also not faring well. The bloodline power emitted by the five-colored phoenix greatly weakened their combat strength.

The other two were relatively at ease, firmly restraining their two opponents.

"Both of them have made a move. Good!" Staring at Li Qingxue's expression, Yang Tian's hand clenched slightly. The blood and qi within him surged, activating the power of the Golden Dragon Seal, making the entwining divine patterns even more dazzling.

Li Qingxue's gaze was complex. Her jade hand tightened slightly—the innocent childhood friends of the past, now cold and indifferent to each other, and she had even become someone the Desolate Ancient Li family was determined to kill.

"That bitch!" Li Xuan glanced at Li Qingxue, his eyes growing increasingly dark. He stared fixedly at Yang Tian—if Li Qingxue had struck earlier, he would not have been so humiliated.

A golden great river floated in the void, radiating an extremely terrifying momentum. The golden dragon on the Golden Dragon Seal swam within the golden river, growing more vigorous as this energy surged.

The small golden dragon let out a cry, emitting terrifying energy fluctuations as it swam through the golden river. The entire golden river hung horizontally above their heads, an immense pressure rising.

"Duo!" Yang Tian gave a soft shout. Two dazzling divine beams were directly shot out, piercing through the surrounding void and slashing toward the heads of the two.

Li Qingxue's gaze was complex. Her jade hand pointed lightly in the air. The snow-white lotus spun in the void, emitting strands of startling light. An extremely fierce clash erupted as they collided.

Rumble! The void shattered, cracks appearing everywhere, and the air rang with continuous clangs.
