"Has Li Shengyi made a move?"
Yang Ce, a disciple standing beside the Heavenly chanism Sage and Wu Tian Sage, looked up, wanting to discern the duel above them.
To the younger generation like Yang Ce, Li Shengyi was a well-known figure. Back in the ancestral land, Li Shengyi’s reputation was similar to Primordial Saint Child’s. However, later on, the Primordial Saint Child surpassed him to beco the Saint Heir of the Taiyi Divine Sect.
But this didn’t an Li Shengyi’s prowess was lacking. Compared to geniuses and Saint Heirs of other sects, Li Shengyi’s strength was still among the top.
Yang Ce had seen Ye Qiu’s strength before. At that ti, even the Miao Shan Saint Heir was not Ye Qiu’s match, and since then, he no longer harbored resentnt towards Ye Qiu.
Recently, hearing that Ye Qiu’s ntor, the Supre Saint Zhuang Miao Shan, was in danger, Yang Ce even felt so sympathy for Ye Qiu. It seed that Ye Qiu’s actions might all be to help his master.
The Heavenly chanism Sage and Wu Tian Sage were aware of Ye Qiu’s true intentions. They were deeply moved and couldn’t help but sigh, rembering the mont they heard about Zhuang Miao Shan being in danger. They too were prepared to intervene but were stopped midway by a mysterious figure, ultimately losing all news of Zhuang Miao Shan.
Watching Ye Qiu and Li Shengyi duel, the two Saints decided that no matter what, they must protect Zhuang Miao Shan’s disciple.
As long as Ye Qiu was in mortal danger, they would intervene to stop it.
Above the nine heavens.
Ye Qiu and Li Shengyi separated montarily, having exchanged over ten thousand moves without either being able to gain the upper hand.
"Your strength is quite surprising, but do you think this is enough to defeat ? You’ll soon be disappointed." Li Shengyi said, his aura rising, climbing from the later stage of the Ruins Realm to the peak, which he thought was sufficient. However, that aura suddenly jumped, crossing into the Semi-Saint tier.
Huh?
The ergence of the Semi-Saint aura startled Ye Qiu.
Though not fully into the Saint Realm, with one foot in, it was enough for his strength to make significant advancents.
This was no longer an ordinary Martial Artist at the late stage peak of the Ruins Realm but one at the Saint tier level.
Currently, compared to him, who was only in the later stage of the Ruins Realm, yet to reach the peak stage, Ye Qiu faced two minor realms higher.
Rumble!
Li Shengyi’s aura ceased to grow, stabilizing at the Semi-Saint tier. Feeling the surge in his power, he couldn’t help but throw two punches. Instantly, the cracks opened by his fists surpassed their previous width several tis over.
"This is my true strength. Do you still think you can beat ?" Li Shengyi said leisurely. "I possess a part of the Saint’s power, while you remain in the Ruins Realm. How will you contend with next? Haha..."
Li Shengyi’s laughter echoed throughout the nine heavens, even reaching the ears of people on the ground, along with his unabashed words.
Had Li Shengyi entered the Semi-Saint tier?
With one foot stepped into the Saint Realm!
This news shocked the people below, especially the disciples of the Taiyi Divine Sect who ca with Li Shengyi.
"Senior Brother, he has advanced to Semi-Saint..."
"What a pity, if only he had done so a few days earlier, the position of Saint Heir would have been his."
"Yes, it’s a sha Senior Brother was a step too late; he can no longer traverse the Star River Path."
Several disciples of the Taiyi Divine Sect felt regret for Li Shengyi, believing that if he had entered the Semi-Saint tier earlier, he would be the Saint Heir of the Taiyi Divine Sect.
"Senior Brother said, even without the Star River Path, he will catch up to the Primordial Saint Child. After defeating Ye Fentian, he will head to the Northern Wilderness in search of opportunities rivaling those on the Star River Path."
"This duel should conclude soon."
Surrounding loose cultivators, as well as disciples from other sects, upon hearing Li Shengyi’s Semi-Saint advancent, also believed the battle would soon end.
After all, one is in the Ruins Realm, the other in the Semi-Saint Realm; the result is evident.
Gazing at the two figures in the sky, the Heavenly chanism Sage frowned. "Looks like we need to intervene soon. We can’t let this kid die at the opponent’s hands."
The two Saints also believed the outco was decided, with little hope for Ye Qiu to turn the tables.
At this point, high above, Li Shengyi felt assured of victory. As a Semi-Saint, Ye Qiu was undoubtedly not his match. From their earlier exchanges, he was able to conclude that Ye Qiu’s strength wasn’t concealed, being only at the later stage of the Ruins Realm, not yet at the peak.
"Do you still wish to fight?" Li Shengyi asked indifferently. He noticed Ye Qiu remained calm throughout, his expression only slightly changing upon Li Shengyi revealing his Semi-Saint strength, but quickly returning to normal.
No fear, no great shock; this puzzled Li Shengyi sowhat.
He couldn’t understand where Ye Qiu found the confidence to remain so composed upon displaying Semi-Saint strength.
Under Li Shengyi’s gaze, Ye Qiu suddenly showed a sowhat wicked smile and said playfully, "Semi-Saint... a fine opponent. I’ve yet to battle a Semi-Saint."
"Very well, I’ll fulfill your wish. Hope you can withstand for a while." Li Shengyi wasted no more words, rushing forward with the Semi-Saint aura.
Whoosh...
In an instant, as Li Shengyi moved, Ye Qiu’s face was blown by the fierce wind caused by Li Shengyi’s overwhelming aura, comparable to a giant tornado aiming to draw Ye Qiu in and make him a part of it.
"To deal with you, one move is sufficient!"
Li Shengyi glanced at Ye Qiu, then lightly muttered, "Absolute Suppression!"
Boom.
Li Shengyi, adopting an extraordinarily dominant stance, like a deity above the nine heavens, struck at Ye Qiu from above, aiming to knock him from the skies to the ground.
With Semi-Saint strength, a Martial Artist of the Ruins Realm tier indeed couldn’t resist and would be instantly knocked from the sky, leading Ye Qiu to be defeated in one move and ridiculed by all onlookers.
"Soon you will understand the consequence of overestimating oneself."
Li Shengyi coldly remarked, his palm never ceasing, instead intensifying as it lunged.
The Heavenly chanism Sage on the ground was already prepared, believing that if the fight continued, Ye Qiu wouldn’t have a chance for a coback, and it was better for him to help Ye Qiu fend off Li Shengyi’s move.
Swish!
With a stomp of his foot, the Heavenly chanism Sage, like an arrow, disappeared in a flash, appearing on the battlefield in an instant.
Li Shengyi’s attack was still before Ye Qiu’s eyes. The Heavenly chanism Sage felt he appeared at just the right mont; not too early nor too late. As he was about to block Li Shengyi’s attack for Ye Qiu, suddenly, Ye Qiu’s gaze shifted.
It wasn’t fear, nor evasion, but excitent; a kind of thrill upon seeing prey.
The Heavenly chanism Sage couldn’t understand why he would describe Ye Qiu’s gaze as that of a hunter at this crucial mont, hesitating in his action. Why be thrilled now?
The Heavenly chanism Sage was sowhat baffled.
At this mont, a voice echoed in his mind as Ye Qiu said, "I ask you not to intervene, this level of strength won’t kill , Ye Fentian!"
Imdiately after, Ye Qiu’s hair fluttered, rushing forward proactively.
Today, he would properly contend with the so-called Semi-Saint!
