Chapter 379: Li Xun Again!

Time passed.

In the blink of an eye, three days had gone by.

During those three days, the battle between Xiao Fan and Xiao Chen continued without pause.

The battlefield itself had shifted thousands of miles.

Across that vast distance, mountains had collapsed, lakes had dried up, and everything along their path had been reduced to rubble.

The entire region, spanning thousands of miles, had become a barren wasteland.

Many spectators felt their hearts pound as they watched.

After displaying astonishing combat strength, the two young geniuses had also revealed the incredible depth of their reserves.

Three days had passed, yet neither of them showed the slightest sign of exhaustion.

It was as if they were both still at their peak.

To everyone present, this was almost inconceivable.

Even a Divine Palace Realm expert would likely begin to show signs of fatigue after fighting continuously for three days.

"Just how has Xiao Fan been cultivating? This is simply terrifying. Xiao Chen has both the Xiao Clan and the Taiyin Divine Mansion supporting him, but Xiao Fan has only Li Xun as his backer. How has he reached this level?"

Countless people couldn’t understand.

The Xiao Fan whom few had paid attention to in the past had, in such a short time, become capable of battling Xiao Chen on equal footing.

Even if he were to lose today, he had already proven the extent of his potential.

After this battle, many ancient powers would likely extend invitations to recruit him.

Although Xiao Fan possessed nothing more than an ordinary physique, his strength spoke for itself.

"Die!" Xiao Fan roared as he strode forward.

Each step carried him a hundred miles.

The very fabric of space beneath his feet shattered with every stride, producing thunderous booms like divine lightning.

Clenching one fist, he resembled a blazing Sun God as he charged toward Xiao Chen.

His movements were simple and natural, yet every gesture unleashed terrifying power.

The overwhelming force drove Xiao Chen backward again and again.

Buzz!

Space trembled violently.

Xiao Fan threw another punch from afar.

It was simple.

Direct.

Yet incomparably fierce.

The strike carried the overwhelming momentum of breaking all techniques with a single punch, leaving no room for resistance.

His fist shone brilliantly, completely golden, like a miniature sun.

It was so fast that there was no possibility of evasion.

Xiao Chen crossed his arms before him.

He exhaled a mouthful of Innate Essence Qi.

Countless mysterious runes lit up across both of his arms, resonating with immense power.

It was a secret technique capable of instantly enhancing his physique, making it nearly indestructible.

Clang!

Xiao Fan’s fist crashed into Xiao Chen’s crossed arms.

A dazzling burst of light erupted, accompanied by the ringing sound of metal striking metal.

After the impact, Xiao Fan was just about to withdraw his fist and launch another attack when he suddenly discovered that Xiao Chen’s arms emitted resounding dragon roars.

The sound shook heaven and earth.

His crossed arms twisted forward like coiling dragons, aiming directly for Xiao Fan’s head.

It was a hidden killing move, one almost impossible to defend against.

Xiao Fan felt a chill rise from the depths of his soul.

The attack had come far too suddenly.

It carried boundless divine might, like an endless ocean, making every hair on his body stand on end.

At the critical moment, he had only enough time to swing his other fist forward, meeting Xiao Chen’s attack head-on once again.

Boom!

A deafening explosion rang out.

The two figures were blasted backward, flying in opposite directions.

While still in midair, Xiao Fan coughed up a mouthful of blood, staining the front of his robes crimson.

It was the first time he had vomited blood since the battle began, and the sight sent a wave of shocked cries through the crowd.

On the other side, Xiao Chen was also forced backward through the air, retreating several hundred meters.

One of his arms had become visibly deformed, bent at an unbelievable angle.

Clearly, his direct clash with Xiao Fan had not left him unscathed.

His body had suffered minor injuries.

He simply had not coughed up blood.

As for the true extent of his wounds, only he himself knew.

"Only ten years have passed... How could you possibly have grown to this extent?"

Xiao Chen frowned.

For the first time, he truly began to take his cousin seriously.

Without him realizing it, Xiao Fan had already grown into a genius capable of standing on equal footing with him.

They had fought continuously for three days without showing any signs of exhaustion.

Even their latest exchange had ended in a draw.

It completely exceeded Xiao Chen’s expectations.

The unwavering confidence he had always possessed in his inevitable victory began to waver.

After all, ever since birth, whether it was his background, his cultivation resources, or his natural talent, he had always possessed the very best.

No matter how one looked at it, he should have crushed Xiao Fan with ease.

The current hard-fought battle was something that should never have happened.

"Ten years apart, and this is all you’ve got?" Xiao Fan said coldly.

He formed a series of hand seals.

An indescribable Dao aura spread outward.

In the blink of an eye, it enveloped an area several hundred miles across.

Within that domain, everyone suddenly felt their shoulders become incredibly heavy, as though they were carrying several mountains upon their backs.

Even Xiao Chen felt his body become sluggish, as if heaven and earth themselves had locked heavy shackles around him.

His strength was greatly suppressed.

"A secret technique?"

Xiao Chen narrowed his eyes in surprise.

He hadn’t expected that, even at this point in the battle, Xiao Fan still had another trump card hidden away.

Only now had he chosen to reveal it.

Secret techniques were useless against Saints and beyond, but at the Life and Death Realm, they were powerful enough to completely alter the course of a battle.

Moreover, the secret technique Xiao Fan had just used was clearly extraordinary.

Its grade was at least Heaven Rank, if not higher.

Without exaggeration, such a technique would remain immensely valuable even after reaching the Divine Palace Realm.

"...This is...?"

In the distance, an expert from the Star Moon Demon Sect suddenly shrank his pupils in shock.

"Heavenly Mind Transformation?"

He knew this secret technique all too well.

He had personally witnessed Li Xun use it to slaughter several Divine Palace Realm elders of the Star Moon Demon Sect.

He had never imagined that he would one day see it again—this time in Xiao Fan’s hands.

The appearance of this secret technique instantly brought back memories he would rather forget.

"So Li Xun really did pass this secret technique on to Xiao Fan. Although Li Xun didn’t come today, he must have left Xiao Fan with quite a few life-saving techniques," The Star Moon Demon Sect expert muttered to himself.

His words surprised many people at first, but they quickly found the idea perfectly reasonable.

Everyone already knew about the close relationship between Li Xun and Xiao Fan.

It was only natural that Li Xun would teach Xiao Fan several divine techniques and secret techniques.

This also neatly explained why Xiao Fan had risen so rapidly in such a short period of time.

Li Xun had clearly invested tremendous effort into cultivating him.

"Li Xun again!"

Xiao Tianzheng’s face grew incomparably gloomy, dark enough to seem as though water could drip from it.

Although Li Xun himself had not appeared, his influence seemed to be everywhere.

Even here, Li Xun’s shadow could still be seen.

The appearance of this secret technique might very well determine the outcome of the entire battle.
