"That Jing Li is truly unbearably arrogant." The old immortal shook his head with a wry smile.
Mo Tianya chuckled and said, "For young people, a little arrogance is not a bad thing. With Jing Li’s temper, that’s considered quite polite already."
"Arrogance also depends on whom it’s directed at. No matter how powerful he is, he hasn’t advanced to Light Base yet. Being arrogant towards those at the sa level is one thing, but doing so towards those at Light Base level is a bit much," said the old immortal.
Many shared the old immortal’s view. Jing Li is very strong, arguably the strongest among the Super Spirits.
But that only pertains to those below Light Base. Among the Light Bases, Jing Li’s formidable strength isn’t much.
Any random Light Base, as long as they have condensed even a single Light Vein, can crush Jing Li in terms of Light Energy.
Moreover, Mo Shougui is not the type who has only condensed one or two Light Veins. He has condensed ten Light Veins, a Light Base level Tester, whose pure Light Energy far surpasses Jing Li, making them incomparable.
So when Jing Li spoke like that to Mo Shougui, it indeed felt sowhat discordant.
Mo Shougui, hearing Jing Li’s words, chuckled and said, "Feel free to hack at boldly. If you can hurt , the Mo Family won’t bla you. Instead, we will honor you as a distinguished guest."
Mo Shougui was not mocking Jing Li. He excelled in defense. If Jing Li, a Super Spirit, could hurt him, the Mo Family would indeed need to learn from him.
The majority of the Mo Family, like Mo Shougui, followed the path where defense is king. If they can’t defend against an attack from a Tester of a lower level than theirs, it clearly shows a flaw in the Mo Family’s path. It would be worthy of honoring those who can point out such flaws.
Seeing that Mo Shougui had no intention of conceding, Jing Li said no more and directly drew the Tang Blade from his shoulder.
As the Tang Blade was unsheathed, the blade entered the Super Spirit State, transforming into a ghost-head blade style, with the blade and Jing Li simultaneously emanating a terrifying purple-black glow.
"Use that farewell technique of yours," Mo Shougui said, knowing that Jing Li had created a farewell technique but had never witnessed it firsthand. He had only heard that the farewell technique’s intent approached that of the demon blade of the Knife Elder, reputed as the first blade of the Eternal Sky, so he wanted to witness it for himself.
Jing Li raised the ghost-head blade above his head and calmly said, "I told you, I don’t want to harm anyone in the Mo Family. Once the farewell is out, it results in death or injury, so I won’t use the farewell technique on you."
Saying this, Jing Li’s blade slashed down towards Mo Shougui, using the self-harming move he had used in his battle with Li Xiu.
Forgetting emotions, the self-harming slash originated from the Path of Forgetting Emotions taught by Jing Li’s ntor. However, the current Jing Li executing the slash differed from the one used in his battle with Li Xiu.
"Oh!" Li Xiu was also surprised to see this slash from Jing Li.
He was surprised not because the slash was altered, but because he discovered that the Light Veins flowing in Jing Li’s body were not entirely consistent with what he had taught in "The Unspoken Words and Mysterious Forces."
Besides "The Unspoken Words and Mysterious Forces," it seed there were other Light Veins developed as well.
As Jing Li slashed down, the purple-black blade light descended like a sky-splitting blade towards Mo Shougui’s head.
Mo Shougui looked at the imnse purple-black blade light, and his arm emitted black light, moving to block Jing Li’s blade light.
At the mont of contact between blade light and arm, a black circular chord-shaped Light Shield appeared on Mo Shougui’s arm, blocking the purple-black blade light.
This was Mo Shougui’s Super Spirit Skill, "Guardian of the Celestial Vault," which condensed Light Energy to form an impregnable defensive Light Shield. Moreover, this Light Shield could absorb and decompose portions of Light Energy. Under the Guardian of the Celestial Vault, even a Light Base Tester with stronger Light Energy than Mo Shougui would find it challenging to break, let alone Jing Li, who was just a Super Spirit Tester.
Seeing Mo Shougui use Guardian of the Celestial Vault, many familiar with this Super Spirit Skill thought he was overdoing it for such a minor threat.
If Jing Li had advanced to Light Base, using Guardian of the Celestial Vault for defense would have been appropriate, but Jing Li hadn’t advanced to Light Base yet, so there was no need for such a technique.
However, at the mont the blade light collided with the Light Shield, the spectators widened their eyes.
Amid everyone’s gaze, Jing Li’s blade light fiercely pressed down, forcefully shattering the Guardian of the Celestial Vault into fragnts, and the ghost-head blade struck harshly on Mo Shougui’s arm.
Only then did people see that Jing Li had used the back of the blade for the slash. The back of the blade crashed onto Mo Shougui’s arm, knocking him to the ground, causing cracks on the stone floor, and Mo Shougui’s arm guard was dented and covered in cracks.
This was still with the back of the blade; if the blade edge had been used, Mo Shougui’s arm might have been severed.
"Impossible!" Mo Wuya suddenly stood up, staring in disbelief at Jing Li, who had already sheathed his blade and stood in the arena.
The entire Martial Arts Arena was deathly silent. The Commanders, Patriarchs, and those who understood the scene were filled with disbelief at this mont.
The old immortal’s mouth gaped open, unclosed for a long ti, making no sound, his eyes fixed on Jing Li.
Mo Shougui sat on the ground, staring blankly at Jing Li, and after a long pause, he climbed up and asked Jing Li with a complex expression, "Have you advanced to Light Base?"
