In the Taiyi Sect on Earth, there is a Great Thousand Mirror.

The myriad beings of the Great Thousand Worlds, all can be observed.

In the Five Spirit Sect of the Immortal Realm, there is an Immortal Observation Mirror.

The Immortal Observation Mirror, not only can observe the myriad beings but also the heavens and the earth, the Immortal Buddhas in the sky, and the Nine Nether Demon God.

There is one difference, however, to observe through the Immortal Observation Mirror, one must possess a certain level of mana. For instance, to observe the myriad beings, Cultivators at the Divinity Transformation Stage can perform the observation, but to observe other Cultivators, one needs Cultivators at the Immortal Realm. To observe the Heavenly Immortal Buddhas and the Nine Nether Demon God, one needs the cultivation of the True Immortal Realm.

The Immortal Observation Mirror is placed in a public grand hall within the Five Spirit Sect, where currently, only four individuals are present—these four are the Sect Leaders of the four Outer Sects.

East Sect Leader Yangg Hu, West Sect Leader Mubao, South Sect Leader Ji Nan, and North Sect Leader Hann Beifeng.

All four individuals are above the Seventh Transformation of the Immortal Realm in cultivation, thus, they can use the Immortal Observation Mirror to observe other Cultivators.

At the moment, the eight eyes of the four individuals were tightly fixed on the Immortal Observation Mirror.

Inside the Immortal Observation Mirror, a stage was reflected.

This stage was none other than the Life and Death Stage on the South Gate Square of the Outer Sect.

On the Life and Death Stage.

Zhao Xiong's fist, as large as a war drum, thundered towards Wang Xiaoqiang.

...

"Eh? Did Zhao Xiong consume a Strength-Boosting Pill?" East Sect Master Yangg Hu stared at the punch thrown by Zhao Xiong in the Immortal Observation Mirror and exclaimed with surprise.

His suspicion was not unfounded. In that punch, Zhao Xiong had gathered all his strength; being at the Void Transformation Boundary himself and further catalyzed by the Strength-Boosting Pill, that punch reached the strength of a Cultivator in the Solidification Realm.

Wang Xiaoqiang had only 2000 Spirit Springs inside him, having only Transformation Cultivation,

A Cultivator in the Solidification Realm could obliterate a Divinity Transformation Cultivator with one punch.

Therefore, Wang Xiaoqiang could not be careless and immediately stepped back thrice. He then absorbed 8000 Spirit Springs into his body, and suddenly, the Spiritual Power inside him surged, transforming him from a Divinity Transformation into Solidification,

The Solidification Realm Wang Xiaoqiang also threw a punch.

Spiritual Power on his fist solidified into a fist as large as a war drum, facing Zhao Xiong's punch head-on.

Bang!

The two war-drum-sized fists collided.

They exploded thunderously.

The powerful shockwave made the air roar, causing the ears of the weaker Female Disciples below to be covered.

...

"Eh? How could Wang Xiaoqiang in the Divinity Transformation Stage withstand Zhao Xiong's punch?" Finally, except for Hann Beifeng, the other three Sect Leaders stared blankly at Wang Xiaoqiang in the Immortal Observation Mirror, dumbfounded.

Hann Beifeng also fixed his gaze on Wang Xiaoqiang, his eyes reflecting a complex expression. He had disdained Wang Xiaoqiang for lacking a Spirit Root and had even sent his two Direct Disciples, Mo Wen and Mo Yu, to assassinate him for the sake of his own reputation, yet unexpectedly, instead of killing Wang Xiaoqiang, Mo Wen and Mo Yu themselves were slain.

Now that Wang Xiaoqiang had safely returned after mingling in the Trial Arena for a month,

all these had amply demonstrated that Wang Xiaoqiang's strength was not merely at the Divinity Transformation level; Hann Beifeng speculated that Wang Xiaoqiang's realm might have already reached the Immortal Realm,

Wang Xiaoqiang's defiance against Zhao Xiong's full-powered punch once again confirmed his guess.

Seeing this scenario, Hann Beifeng was filled with both regret and fear.

He regretted not valuing someone like Wang Xiaoqiang, understanding that a Cultivator without a Spirit Root, who could reach the Immortal Realm through cultivation, indeed possessed great persistence and fortune. Such a person, if nurtured with the Body Refining Technique, would be extremely valuable in the future; yet, he had not only undervalued him but had also sent assassins against him,

Thinking about all this, Hann Beifeng's guts twisted in regret.

But regret now was already too late.

He had sent Mo Wen and Mo Yu to kill Wang Xiaoqiang, and Wang Xiaoqiang would certainly not be foolish enough not to know they were sent by him. Knowing this, Wang Xiaoqiang would surely harbor hatred towards him, Hann Beifeng, and even if he did not seek revenge now, once he gained power, he would definitely seek vengeance.

Thus, although at this moment he valued Wang Xiaoqiang, he also had no choice but to kill him to prevent future troubles.

...

On the Life and Death Stage.

Seeing his full-strength punch negated by Wang Xiaoqiang, Zhao Xiong felt utterly despondent and was filled with despair.

If his full-strength strike could not defeat the opponent, then once the effects of the strength-boosting pill wore off inside him, a single punch from Wang Xiaoqiang could finish him.

In his despair, Zhao Xiong completely lost his composure.

And completely disrupted the formation.

With fists clenched and Spiritual Power gathered, he threw punch after punch at Wang Xiaoqiang, betting everything he had.

Boom, boom, boom...

Seeing Zhao Xiong throwing punch after punch, Wang Xiaoqiang also threw punch after punch, colliding with him head-on.

It turned into a contest of brute force.

Each of Zhao Xiong's punches was effortlessly shattered by Wang Xiaoqiang.

Wang Xiaoqiang had been worried about Zhao Xiong's incredibly powerful magic treasure, but now it seemed to be out of the equation.

So now he set his mind completely at ease.

After dozens of punches, the effects of the Strength-Boosting Pill inside Zhao Xiong wore off, and after his furious barrage, he also fell into endless fatigue.

At this moment, full of despair and fear, he stopped his attacks, while on guard against Wang Xiaoqiang, he looked towards Li Bali under the stage.

In his eyes, there was a plea for help.

Li Bali could clearly see Zhao Xiong's defeat. Though in his heart he despised Zhao Xiong's incompetence, he was also somewhat unwilling to accept it. At this point, Zhao Xiong's death didn't matter to him; what mattered was Wang Xiaoqiang's life. After all, what he cared about was his reputation.

If Wang Xiaoqiang did not die, he could not show his face among the elite disciples again.

Thus, Wang Xiaoqiang must die!

Seeing Zhao Xiong's pleading look, Li Bali steeled his heart, risking the danger of breaking the arena rules, he took out the extremely evil Blood Demon Sword from the storage ring, which he had intercepted from a loose cultivator, and threw it up to Zhao Xiong on the stage.

Upon seeing Li Bali throw the sword, Zhao Xiong's heart leapt with joy, and he immediately caught it as eagerly as a starving dog catching food. With Spiritual Power stimulated, the Blood Demon Sword immediately emitted a daunting scarlet glow. The sword emitted a terrifying scream from within, like the howl of a demon, piercing the eardrums of the disciples below, who all covered their ears.

...

"Li Bali really dismisses us from the Outer Sect," said Yang Hu, watching through the Immortal Observation Mirror, and remarked indignantly.

"Yes, and to release such an extremely evil demon sword, Lord Hann, this is happening under your jurisdiction, you won't just stand by, will you...?" asked South Gate Sect Master Ji Nan.

Hann Beifeng felt a bit embarrassed but resolutely said, "The three of you need not provoke me. I would like to intervene, but can I really do it? You all know, elite disciples are the direct disciples of the Sect Leader, they are the backbone of the sect, and moreover, Li Bali is a genius in both Qi and Body Cultivation. Can I accuse him? Dare I accuse him?..."

However, Sect Master of West Sect Mubao countered, "Then you'll just disregard your disciples. Wang Xiaoqiang might be a waste, but to reach this level of cultivation, he too has great perseverance. If you teach him the Body Refining Technique and cultivate him, he could be of great use in the future. Are you willing to let him be sacrificed in vain..."

Hann Beifeng didn't want to lose him either, but he and Wang Xiaoqiang had formed a deadly enmity, an irreconcilable one. So he'd rather have Wang Xiaoqiang die.

If Zhao Xiong could kill him with the help of the Blood Demon Cultivation, it would save him the trouble of dealing with him further. (To be continued. If you like this work, please come to qidian.com to vote and support me. Mobile users please visit m.qidian.com to read.)
