Chapter 57: Battle Maniac Xi Menao, Su Yi Was Tricked
Su Yi was a little speechless when he heard the two of them mentioning each other’s names.
He did not expect to bump into two of the eight Heaven’s Favorites. Judging from their auras, they did have such strength.
He sucked in a breath of cold air and considered whether he should go out and greet them. However, after thinking about it, he decided to forget about it since he was weak.
According to what Nie Ling had told him before, in his eyes, the guy named Xuan Yijian who was standing on the treetops on the left was ranked sixth among the eight Heaven’s Favorites.
It was said that he was extremely good at sword-type magical artifacts and spells. Even his moves and mantras were related to swords.
Moreover, his spiritual root was of the top-grade. It was said that his current strength had already reached the middle stage of the foundation establishment realm. However, this was just some speculation in the cultivation circle of the Central Plains.
From the looks of it, the strength of the mid-stage of the foundation establishment realm was indeed strong. Su Yi wondered which level of the foundation establishment realm was Xuan Yijian at right now.
Opposite Xuan Yijian was Xi Menao. He was the only person in the western region of the Central Plains who could be ranked as Heaven’s Favorite.
Although he was ranked seventh on Heaven’s Favorites’ ranking, not many people dared to look down on him.
This was because this guy did not cultivate true essence. He was a body cultivator. However, his cultivation was recorded according to the true essence cultivation system.
Body cultivators and spirit cultivators’ attack patterns were completely different.
Compared to spirit cultivators’ true essence attacks, body cultivators preferred to fight with their physical bodies. It was the feeling of fist hitting flesh.
In the foundation establishment realm, body cultivators’ true essence was usually called vital essence, strengthening their own body to perform martial techniques and so on.
In addition to strengthening their own bodies, they could also perform some powerful martial techniques that were extremely ferocious.
This was the fighting style of body cultivators.
Moreover, although Xi Menao was ranked seventh among the eight Heaven’s Favorites, in fact, other than the top three, almost no other Heaven’s Favorites wanted to provoke him.
In the outside world, Xi Menao was known as a battle maniac. As long as a genius was targeted by him, he would definitely fight to the death. How many Heaven’s favorites in the Central Plains could beat him?
Even if they could beat him, they could not even kill him. It was f*cking ridiculous.
Therefore, most Heaven’s Favorites would avoid Xi Menao when they saw him. They were afraid that his battle intent would gather and pester them non-stop.
If you agreed to fight him, even though this fight would not cause death, it would definitely cause serious injuries. Who would want to suffer like that for no reason?
Now, that Heaven’s Favorite Xuan Yijian was caught by Xi Menao and was pestered for three whole days…
Normally, he would just fight with him and lie down and recover for two days.
However, now that he was in the mystic realm, how could he, Xuan Yijian, accept the fight? This was a mystic realm that was related to the Tiandao sect’s grand competition. If he missed his opportunity because of this pointless fight, he would cry himself to death.
Unfortunately, he had just entered the mystic realm when he bumped into Xi Menao.
After being entangled for three whole days, Xuan Yijian finally could not take it anymore. He wanted to beat Xi Menao here until he was crippled!
“Die!” Xuan Yijian roared angrily. The Zhen Yuan on his body started to surge, and a faint shadow of a move started to gather in front of him.
It was a huge sword. Looking at its size, it was about a hundred feet long, and one could see that its power was extremely brazen.
“Heaven-cleaving Slash!!”
Xuan Yijian shouted, and the huge sword’s shadow formed, bringing with it an extremely heavy pressure as it slashed towards Xi Menao.
Even Su Yi, who was sitting on top of a tree in the distance, could feel the power of the huge sword.
The huge sword’s shadow stirred up a gust of wind, causing the top of the tree where he was to shake.
“F*ck! This is crazy!”
Looking at this power, Su Yi could not help but curse. This was the combat strength of the eight prodigies??
On the other hand, Xi Menao did not have the intention to dodge when he saw the huge sword shadow. Instead, he directly dashed towards the huge sword shadow.
He was still laughing maniacally.
“Hahaha, good move, let me try this move of yours!”
As he spoke, his vital essence exploded forth, and the blood-red vital essence gathered on his right hand, his face filled with berserk battle intent.
He actually threw a punch towards the sword qi Shadow, as he shouted out, “Blood Slaughter Arm!”
Xi Menao’s arm was covered by the blood-red vital essence, as a thick killing intent spread out from his hand.
He threw a punch towards the huge sword shadow.
Dang–
The blood-red hand clenched its fist tightly, and clashed with the huge sword qi.
The sound of metal clashing resounded throughout the area. Su Yi was stunned. Was this the terror of a body cultivator?
Using one’s body to withstand a true essence attack. It was simply terrifying.
Xi Menao’s domineering appearance, coupled with his baleful aura, gave him the feeling of a battle demon, Asura.
When Asura was enraged, even the heavens and earth would tremble.
“Break!!”
Xi Menao shouted loudly as the blood-colored vital essence on his body rose up and actually transformed into the shadow of Asura. Instantly, his aura increased once again.
At the point where the huge sword shadow and fist met, the huge sword of true essence started to crack.
Boom!!
With a loud explosion, almost all the trees in the surrounding area were knocked down by a powerful impact. Even the place where Su Yi was standing was no exception.
After the storm calmed down, Xuan Yijian’s face was a little pale. He looked at Xi Menao with a shocked expression. He thought to himself, ‘when did this guy become so strong? No, if I continue to fight, I will definitely reveal my trump card.’
He kept looking around, trying to find a way to escape.
Suddenly, his eyes lit up. He discovered Su Yi hiding on top of a tree not far away. Due to the swaying of the tree, Su Yi’s figure was somewhat eye-catching.
A flash of inspiration appeared in his eyes, and a sinister smile appeared on his face.
Su Yi also discovered the other party. The two of them stared at each other for a moment. When he saw the other party’s sinister smile, he felt a bad premonition.
‘This fellow, what is he trying to do? I’m just passing by…’
Very quickly, Su Yi understood what he was trying to do.
Xi Menao once again leaped high into the air, and the bloody Asura phantom behind him condensed. Terrifying waves of true essence began to gather in his palm, and he let out a loud shout.
“Xuan Yijian! Try this Bloody Asura Palm of mine. Ha!”
Then, he threw out a palm attack to lock on Xuan Yijian.
Seeing this, Xuan Yijian grinned and revealed a sinister smile. Then, he quickly moved on the top of the tree and jumped in Su Yi’s direction.
‘Not good!!’
Seeing Xuan Yijian’s behavior, Su Yi cursed in his heart. Damn it, he actually wanted to use him as a shield.
Xi Menao also discovered that Xuan Yijian was following Su Yi. The originally domineering pupils in his eyes suddenly shrunk. He actually began to forcefully withdraw his attack.
He looked at Xuan Yijian, who was clearly flying in his direction.
His eyes turned cold as he muttered.
“Since you are like this, you can not blame me!”
“Heaven-defying Divine Sky Palm!”
