Everyone held their breath, eyes fixed unwaveringly upon the two combatants.

Huang Yi let out a low roar, like a tiger descending a mountain, his longsword aimed straight at Li Xiaoyao as he rushed forward. His body twisted in the air, tracing an astonishing arc that reduced the air resistance from his charge to the minimum. In almost an instant, his attack was upon him.

Such a swift and fierce assault caused all the onlookers to visibly blanch.

Li Pingshuang's cultivation level was not much different from Huang Yi's, and he couldn't help but be shocked when he saw the latter make his move.

Those with mediocre cultivation levels might only notice Li Pingshuang's speed, but with his keen eyes, he could see at a glance that in terms of overall strength, even he was inferior.

In the same realm, if it truly came to blows, Li Pingshuang would undoubtedly lose.

One from an Ancient Sect, and one from the Eight Great Sects of Xuan Country, their movements, martial skills, cultivation techniques, and combat martial arts were not on the same level and naturally could not be compared.

But even so, as Li Xiaoyao faced Huang Yi, his expression did not change.

With a light flick of his finger, the Ancient Sword in his hand flew out instantly, colliding with Huang Yi's longsword.

"Ding!"

A crisp sound of sword chimes rose, and the crowd was startled to see that Huang Yi, who had initiated the attack, was actually sent several meters back by the force of the clash.

"Holy crap!"

"For real? Huang Yi got pushed back?"

"Am I dreaming? Slap me!"

"Slap!"

"Did you actually slap me? It hurts, man. So I'm not dreaming?"

With overwhelming force, Li Xiaoyao's physical capabilities proved too strong for Huang Yi, no matter how strong his cultivation was.

Li Xiaoyao possessed a Golden Body and his martial physique had reached the Fifth Rank. The combined power was certainly not as simple as one plus one equals two.

The events in the Secret Realm had left the Li Family in turmoil and on the brink of disintegration; it was a situation that had to be resolved.

Today, as the brash fools from the Rakshasa Sect came knocking on their door, what Li Xiaoyao needed to do was to kill them with the most shocking means possible.

In doing so, his goals were twofold: to establish his dominance and to make it clear to the Li Family members that he was not someone they could casually talk about behind his back.

Sometimes, to deal with these misguided souls, one must use such forceful methods to deter them.

"How is this kid so powerful?" If anyone was most surprised, it was not Li Pingshuang and the others, but Huang Yi.

Only by crossing swords with Li Xiaoyao could one understand just how terrifying that sword strike had been.

Even with Huang Yi's current strength, the mere touch of the swords had made his palm tingle with pain, as if it might be torn apart by a tremendous force.

Huang Yi looked up, seeing Li Xiaoyao changing hand signs and feared he was about to use the same spells as before; he immediately rushed forward again without giving him a chance.

Li Xiaoyao's eyes lifted slightly, casting a cold glance at him, as the Seven Star Ancient Sword nimbly turned in the air, parrying, chopping, flicking, and blocking, effortlessly fending off Huang Yi's multiple attacks.

Li Pingshuang and the others were too astonished to speak. How had this youngster become so formidable? Facing Huang Yi at the peak of the Spirit Condensation Realm, he was able to defend easily just by controlling a Flying Sword? This was simply too heaven-defying.

Li Xiaoyao executed the Trapped Sky Finger while simultaneously diverting his mind to control the Ancient Sword. Due to the split attention, the execution speed of the Trapped Sky Finger became extremely slow, and there were faint signs of error.

"It seems I overestimated myself after all," Li Xiaoyao mockingly smiled to himself. He had thought that with his formidable spiritual power, multitasking wouldn't be difficult, but reality proved otherwise.

The Trapped Sky Finger, an original martial art of the Emperor of Humanity, required full effort to scarcely unleash a fraction of its power, let alone while multitasking.

Only because of Li Xiaoyao's immense spiritual power could he dare such a feat. Anyone else would have been rebounded by the formidable momentum of the Trapped Sky Finger in a matter of minutes.

But, with the arrow on the bowstring, he had no choice but to shoot. Li Xiaoyao was now in a predicament with no clear way forward or back, forced to continue with a stiff head.

Huang Yi's several attacks had been fruitless. He flicked away the Ancient Sword with one stroke, took out the Soul Summoning Banner with his left hand, and softly recited the Soul Summoning Mantra. The world around instantly darkened and gloomy, a cold wind howled, and in a moment, a multitude of ghosts gathered, turning the entire Li Family estate into a haunted place of fierce spirits.

"Night Parade of a Hundred Ghosts!" Huang Yi declared, with the Soul Summoning Banner in his left hand and his longsword overhead in his right, summoning the ghosts to attack Li Xiaoyao.

Intangible souls, difficult to guard against, this attack might have given him a decisive advantage if used against an average person, but Li Xiaoyao's physical body was so strong that as the ghosts approached, they were immediately burnt by the surging blood qi radiating from his body, giving off white smoke, emitting cries of agony.

"Damn it!" cursed Huang Yi, somewhat annoyed.

This kid, clearly less advanced in cultivation level than himself, and yet he had been thwarted by Li Xiaoyao time and again. This experience truly enraged him, making him want to kill.

"I was the first to arrive at the Li Family after receiving the news. This was a perfect opportunity. If I could kill him and take the treasures he obtained in the Secret Realm, my cultivation level would surely skyrocket," Huang Yi thought, his intentions obvious. Indeed, he was the first power to arrive at the Li Family.

Unfortunately, his strength was not enough to support his ambition.

"Should I just leave like this?" Huang Yi was unwilling. The treasures were so close to him that leaving now would be such a regret.

But if he didn't leave, should he wait for Li Xiaoyao's spells to condense and be brutally defeated by him?

As Huang Yi hesitated, Li Xiaoyao, who had been changing his hand gestures, suddenly spat out a mouthful of blood.

"Pfft!"

This sudden change shocked everyone present.

Huang Yi paused for two seconds, then his heart filled with joy.

"It seems that such spells are not foolproof." Taking Li Xiaoyao's spell failure and rebound as a good sign, Huang Yi sneered with a Spirit Burst swiftly forming in his palm, smashing down toward Li Xiaoyao.

Li Xiaoyao lifted his head, his gaze cold and severe. Facing the incoming Spirit Burst, his eyes were as calm as still water, without a ripple.

His lips, cold and sharp as a knife, uttered a few chilly words, "One Finger Severing Mountains and Rivers!"

The Trapped Sky Finger was finally completed.

That mouthful of blood indeed resulted from the rebound of the Trapped Sky Finger, but Li Xiaoyao had forcefully suppressed the rebound force and successfully executed it.

As his words fell, his right index finger abruptly lifted toward the flying Spirit Burst and gently tapped, the golden glow almost invisible.

Without any warning, by the time Huang Yi sensed danger, it was too late.

The golden ray pierced the Spirit Burst, the chaotic spiritual energy within instantly disrupted, turning into fragments that merged into the golden ray.

Huang Yi's heart was pierced through, the tiny hole almost invisible, and even some of the weaker family members didn't even catch sight of the path of the Trapped Sky Finger.

The last thing Huang Yi did was look down with disbelief at the tiny hole in his chest, then his eyes rolled back as the life drained out of him, falling backward.
