As soon as Luo Cheng spoke,

Both the Ninth Princess Jin Yuxi and Li Shaofeng were taken aback.

“The burial ground chosen for me?”

Li Shaofeng laughed coldly, as if he had heard the most ridiculous joke in the world, and looked at Luo Cheng with disdain:

“I really don’t know if you’re arrogant or just stupid. At this point, you still dare to boast in front of me! Do you think just because you had a slight advantage in the sword intent duel, you’re qualified to oppose me? What a joke! To be honest, I just wanted to play with you at that time, and only used less than sixty percent of my sword intent! Otherwise, if I had gone all out, you would have been instantly killed!”

Li Shaofeng clearly didn’t see Luo Cheng as a threat, his words full of contempt.

Luo Cheng was now covered in blood, his Qi blood was chaotic and scattered, clearly injured from the intense battle earlier!

Even if Luo Cheng was at his peak, in Li Shaofeng’s eyes, he would still be an insignificant ant.

He was not someone of Yun Tianyan’s caliber, but a disciple of the Extreme Dao Sect, ranked forty-first on the Domain List, a super genius!

Anyone from the Domain List could easily sweep through all the Awakening Vein Realm experts of the Great Yue Dynasty; killing Luo Cheng would be effortless, without any effort!

“Surrender, and I can grant you a whole corpse! Otherwise, I’ll make you taste what it means to live a life worse than death!”

Li Shaofeng stood arrogantly in the air, his cold gaze sweeping over Luo Cheng and Jin Yuxi.

“Luo Cheng…”

Jin Yuxi clutched her fists tightly, her voice trembling slightly.

Li Shaofeng was indeed a super genius on the Domain List; his eyes, as sharp as swords, gave her an overwhelming sense of suffocation. It was the first time she felt such terrifying pressure from an Awakening Vein Realm expert!

“Rest assured!”

Luo Cheng nodded to Jin Yuxi, his figure flashing as he instantly appeared high in the sky. Looking at Li Shaofeng, he smiled lightly:

“Perhaps the one who should surrender is not me, but you!”

Luo Cheng’s tone was calm, yet it exuded a fierce determination, confronting Li Shaofeng head-on!

“Heh, you still won’t cry until you see the coffin!”

Li Shaofeng’s eyes narrowed, unable to contain his anger any longer. A powerful sword intent burst from his body, stirring the winds and clouds as he advanced towards Luo Cheng, his voice icy:

“Then I’ll make you see what reality truly is! Kneel before me!!”

Clang!

Li Shaofeng moved half a step forward with his right foot, and the blue treasure sword at his waist instantly unsheathed, raised high above his head. The blade immediately emitted a dazzling Sword Qi over ten feet long, slashing down with a divine and formidable might.

Boom!

The azure Sword Qi, as thick as a door panel, exuded a piercing sharpness under the augmentation of sword intent, aiming straight at Luo Cheng’s body.

His clothes fluttering wildly, Luo Cheng neither retreated nor dodged, and didn’t even draw his sword. Instead, he channeled his Essence Energy and delivered a fierce punch to meet it.

Rumble!

A thunderous explosion echoed as the air twisted layer by layer around them, and the airflow shattered.

Pfft!

Luo Cheng was blasted back over a hundred meters, his entire left arm slightly numb, blood seeping from the corner of his mouth, and even his eyes and nose started to bleed.

“Luo Cheng…”

Seeing Luo Cheng’s miserable state, Jin Yuxi bit her red lips hard, her brows furrowed deeply.

In a duel between swordsmen, victory or defeat often hung by a thread. Once at a disadvantage, it was exceedingly difficult to turn the tables and would only lead deeper into the opponent’s rhythm, unable to extricate oneself.

Unfortunately, her strength was too weak to have any qualification to intervene in such a high-level duel!

“As expected of a Sword Intent Level Swordsman, that Sword Qi is ferocious!!”

Steadying himself, Luo Cheng marveled at how the opponent’s casual sword was on par with Yun Tianyan’s killer move. Ranked forty-first on the Domain List was truly well-deserved!

“Hmm!”

Suddenly, Luo Cheng’s gaze sharpened.

After that strike, despite the chaotic and boiling Qi blood in his body, the feeling of impending explosion eased somewhat!

“Right, the pressure from a head-on battle can temper the Blood Essence Qi within me!”

With this thought passing through his mind, Luo Cheng’s eyes gradually brightened.

At this moment, a cold laugh rang out.

“Heh, you dare not even draw your sword against me, truly arrogant! I’ll make sure you pay for your arrogance!”

Li Shaofeng sneered, his sword momentum intensified, once again slashing towards Luo Cheng.

Sizzle!

This time, the Sword Qi was even more fierce, the massive Sword Qi, like a mountain, sliced towards Luo Cheng with the sound of wind and thunder.

Facing the incoming Sword Qi, Luo Cheng’s eyes slightly deepened, yet he still had no intention of drawing his sword.

“Very well! Then let you help me refine the Blood Essence Qi within!!”

Luo Cheng’s eyes were electric.

His idea was simple: to use the pressure from a battle with Li Shaofeng to break through his own limits, temper the boiling and explosive Blood Essence Qi within him, and fully integrate it into his body, turning it into his own potential.

“One Element Gathering Cauldron!”

Without retreating a single step, Essence Energy surged within Luo Cheng’s body, transforming into a giant cauldron with three legs and two ears, stabilizing the four directions as he punched towards the oncoming Sword Qi.

Rumble!

The air shattered, Qi Force swirled violently, and Luo Cheng was blasted back again, his nose and mouth bleeding, looking quite tragic.

Seeing this, Li Shaofeng’s eyes burned with excitement, grinning savagely:

“Kid, do you see the gap between us now!!”

Luo Cheng shook his head lightly, “That’s all there is to it.”

“Heh! Still talking tough! I want to see how long you can keep this up!!”

Li Shaofeng thought Luo Cheng was merely being stubborn, immediately channeling his Essence Energy, raising his treasure sword for successive slashes.

He didn’t use any killer moves, nor did he fully unleash his sword intent, intending to torture Luo Cheng bit by bit, from spirit to body, to slowly destroy him, making Luo Cheng die in utter despair!

Sizzle, sizzle, sizzle…

One by one, Sword Qi over a hundred meters long, like mountains, crisscrossed the sky, tearing the void, and the sharpness quickly collapsed the air.

Luo Cheng remained unafraid, his eyes even revealing excitement.

“Shatter!”

Using the Heavenly Cauldron Fist, a subtle thundering brilliance permeated Luo Cheng’s fists as they clashed against the Sword Qi with sheer physical might.

Boom, boom, boom, boom…

One by one, the Sword Qi shattered, the powerful impact forming substantial ripples, sweeping in all directions, collapsing the peaks below and reversing the rivers.

Pfft!

The battle’s pressure squeezed the explosive and surging Blood Essence Qi from Luo Cheng’s mouth, nose, and skin, drenching him in blood, even his hair dripped with blood!

But more of the Blood Essence Qi merged into Luo Cheng’s flesh and blood, the Qi Blood Vortex in his Dantian, strengthening his foundation!

As time passed, Luo Cheng became invigorated, his punches growing more forceful, every strike accompanied by thunderous and tidal roars, effortlessly destroying the incoming Sword Qi!

“What on earth is going on with this guy!!!”

Li Shaofeng’s initial excitement and ruthlessness turned into doubt and uncertainty.

Finally, he realized something was amiss!

After such a long battle, with Luo Cheng looking so pathetic, he should have suffered significant blood loss and even been gravely injured.

Yet Luo Cheng’s momentum showed no sign of weakening; instead, he fought more and more valiantly!

Initially, Li Shaofeng could easily suppress Luo Cheng with Sword Qi, maintaining the upper hand. Now, there seemed to be a trend of gradually reaching an even ground.

“This is insane!”

Li Shaofeng’s expression was grim; he couldn’t fathom why Luo Cheng, who had been beaten down by him, was growing stronger!

This should never happen!

It’s completely irrational!

Bam!

Luo Cheng shattered a Sword Qi with a punch, looked at Li Shaofeng, and calmly said:

“Is this all the strength the so-called Domain List genius has?”

Luo Cheng felt the Qi Blood Vortex had reached its limit, at a critical point for another transformation. As long as he continued using the Blood Spirit Soul Capturing Technique to devour Blood Essence Qi, a breakthrough was just a matter of time.

However, Luo Cheng didn’t plan to wait any longer.

He wanted to leverage this battle, with greater pressure, to directly break through this bottleneck!

Hearing Luo Cheng’s sarcastic words, Li Shaofeng was furious, his face flushed, the veins on his neck popping out like worms, gritting his teeth:

“Do you really think I can’t kill you!”
