Chapter 2298 - 2301: Fierce Battle with Li Jinyuan!

"Hahaha… Who would've thought that after more than a hundred years of harmony between Xuanyuan Immortal Sect disciples and Elders, it would be shattered in this way today—and it would happen to me, Li Jinyuan."

At this moment, Li Jinyuan began his pre-battle speech, and Mo Ziyang generously gave him the time.

"I, Li Jinyuan, all these years, have always believed I treated the many disciples well. Whether they were my own apprentices or not, I treated them equally. Yet today, this Qin Tian, relying on the fact that he's the Spring Martial Arts Competition champion, relying on his master being the Chief Elder, actually dares to ignore me. Heh, not only did he insult me, he even wants to challenge me."

"As an Elder of the Xuanyuan Immortal Sect, I can no longer endure this. I refuse to endure it any longer!"

"Since that's the case, today, let the many disciples and the Sect Leader bear witness. I, Li Jinyuan, am not some random nobody who'll fight just because someone mouths off. Since Qin Tian challenges me, he has to bear the risk. Let me say it upfront: if he's unfortunate enough to die by my hand, I will not bear any responsibility!"

These words, rather than being for everyone, were more aimed at Wang Tianqing.

When Wang Tianqing heard this, his face indeed turned extremely ugly.

Seeing this, Mo Ziyang sneered inwardly: "Heh, you think with just one disciple's life—Qin Tian—you can rise up? Times have changed. I have plenty of ways to deal with you!"

"I need to make something clear too!"

Just as Li Jinyuan's words fell, Qin Tian suddenly spoke, "If I accidentally kill Elder Li Jinyuan, I also won't bear any responsibility!"

Whoosh!

Everyone froze for a moment.

"This Qin Tian is that arrogant?"

"Heh, he even wants to kill Elder Li Jinyuan? What's going on in his head!"

"Heh, this is the first time I've seen someone this crazy. Truly courting death. At a time like this he still dares to spout wild talk—I'd say he's really tired of living."

"In a bit, when he trades blows with Elder Li Jinyuan, we'll see what he's actually capable of. I'm guessing three moves—within three moves Elder Li Jinyuan will have Qin Tian sorted out."

Outer Disciples and Inner Sect Disciples were all talking at once.

The Elders, one by one, only sneered; they all took Qin Tian's words as a joke.

Among the top ten Inner Sect Disciples, the First Senior Brother and Second Senior Brother still hadn't arrived. Ming Jing sat in her seat, and as she listened to the people around her discussing Qin Tian, she felt a strange sensation in her heart.

After not seeing him for more than half a year, how had Qin Tian become so arrogant?

She'd heard he went out to temper himself with Lu Tianlin and the others; Lu Tianlin and the rest all died, yet he alone came back alive. Could it be that in all that he obtained some unspeakable fortuitous encounter?

Ming Jing had already thought Qin Tian was strange before; now, she was even more curious about him.

"I hope you can make it through today. Another day, I'd actually like to spar with you."

Ming Jing said this in her heart, but then she felt it was funny—make it through today?

Elder Li Jinyuan's strength, strictly speaking, was slightly stronger than hers. If Qin Tian could make it through today, that would mean Elder Li Jinyuan was not his match, which in turn would mean she herself was not Qin Tian's match!

"Perhaps I won't get the chance to trade blows with him."

Ming Jing thought to herself. At this time, in the center of the Martial Arts Square, Li Jinyuan's roaring voice had already rung out: "Hahaha… Brat, you're the most arrogant guy I've ever seen in my life! I'll tell you this: the battle between us is not a simple match. It's a war of dignity and honor. Life and death are fate—no one is responsible!"

"Very good! I like that line!"

Qin Tian grinned, and gave the worried Wang Tianqing a slight nod.

"What on earth is Qin Tian thinking? Why won't he bow his head, no matter what? A true man can bend and stretch. This whole mess today could've been avoided… Ah."

Wang Tianqing was still regretting letting Qin Tian spout off like that, but now, it was too late.

Buzz buzz buzz!

At this moment, four Elders carried over a small Blessed Land; this was a small Blessed Land used for duels. It was to prevent the True Qi power from their life-and-death battle from causing too much damage to the surroundings, so Immortal Sect duels to the death were usually held inside a Blessed Land.

"You two, go in."

Mo Ziyang said, "Elder Li, vent my anger properly!"

"Don't worry!"

Li Jinyuan's killing intent drifted as he leapt into the transparent small Blessed Land.

As Li Jinyuan's figure flew in, Qin Tian followed right on his heels.

Buzz buzz buzz!

When the two entered the small Blessed Land, their True Qi pressure crashed directly against each other!

Within the entire small Blessed Land, the True Qi Flow split into two streams, violently colliding!

Everyone saw that inside the transparent small Blessed Land, the previously calm scene suddenly turned into a raging Kuang Feng!

This was the standoff before the battle—two people's True Qi clashing. Qin Tian couldn't sense Li Jinyuan's true cultivation, but he could confirm that Li Jinyuan's cultivation was definitely at Two-star Daluo Golden Immortal, or above!

Of course, as for Qin Tian's cultivation, after probing for a while, Li Jinyuan was also confused!

The quantity of Qin Tian's True Qi looked first to be at Ascension Stage Peak.

But the intensity of True Qi he released felt like a One-star Daluo Golden Immortal!

Logically, someone stronger probing someone weaker's cultivation should be a very ordinary, easy thing.

Yet unexpectedly, he actually couldn't determine Qin Tian's cultivation!

After half a year of closed-door training, Qin Tian's strength had become unfathomable, and he had also cultivated a set of techniques to hide his breathing and Combat Power. Though it was impossible to completely conceal himself from someone with higher cultivation, he could at least confuse the opponent.

"The probing is over. Now, let's fight!"

Li Jinyuan took a deep breath and glared at Qin Tian: "Show me your Kung Fu. Let me see what qualifications you have to challenge me!"

"Watch closely!"

Qin Tian was Concentrating, Dragon Qi surged out in torrents, and the Power of Nine Dragons burst forth!

Nine True Qi Giant Dragons rampaged through the sky, sweeping straight toward Li Jinyuan to besiege him!

Seeing this, Li Jinyuan let out a grim laugh: "You want to fight me with mere Power of Nine Dragons? Break!"

With his roar, Li Jinlong soared into the air, his fists suddenly swelling and expanding. Those two fists carried a golden aura; it was clear he had begun to draw on his hidden strength, Golden Immortal True Qi surging outward!

Roar roar roar!

Bang bang bang!

Facing Qin Tian's Power of Nine Dragons, Li Jinyuan advanced and retreated in perfect rhythm, looking completely at ease.

Qin Tian seized the chance to unleash several consecutive attacks, but all of them were blocked by this old bastard.

After all, he was a Daluo Golden Immortal-level figure; that kind of True Qi strength was not something you could easily shake.

In just a short while, Li Jinyuan had fended off Qin Tian's Power of Nine Dragons. Then he landed on the ground and once again looked at Qin Tian with provocative eyes, saying, "What other moves do you have? Keep them coming! If you think you can challenge me with just this bit of skill—heh—like a mantis trying to stop a chariot! Today, you're not getting out of this small Blessed Land alive!"
