"This is your son's own doing," Wang Yi said calmly.
"Good, good, good, a self-inflicted situation," Li Yuan's expression darkened immediately upon hearing this, and he said coldly, "If you die today, it is also your own doing."
"Go ahead," Wang Yi replied.
"Hiss!"
The onlookers in the distance gasped at these words, their faces showing shock.
"Who is this Wang Yi? Facing Li Yuan, he dares to be so arrogant; isn't that courting death?"
"That's right. With his Initial Stage of Insight cultivation, thinking he can escape this calamity is simply wishful thinking; he is bound to die."
"However, this kid's strength is quite impressive; he is much stronger than other warriors of the same level. Otherwise, he wouldn't have been able to withstand two strikes from Li Yuan with his Initial Stage of Insight cultivation."
The crowd debated among themselves, praising Wang Yi but doubting his chances of escaping this ordeal, as the gap in strength between the two was simply too vast.
"Court death!" Li Yuan said coldly.
With that, Li Yuan leaped forward, briefly disappearing from the spectators' sight. The next moment, he had already appeared right in front of Wang Yi. He then struck down with his palm, and a massive stone tablet appeared above Wang Yi's head.
"Flame God Monument!"
Li Yuan shouted loudly as the stone tablet ignited with endless flames, radiating intense heat. As Li Yuan's palm descended, the Flame God Monument fell with a terrifying force.
"Rumbling!"
Under the terrifying power of the Flame God Monument, the air exploded, creating boundless shockwaves. Wang Yi's clothes crackled as the scorching wind tore across his face like a blade of fire.
"Swish!"
Wang Yi's expression was icy as he reached into the void with a large hand, and the Sword of Slaughter appeared in his grasp. It shot out explosively, cleaving a hundred-foot-long Blood Sword Qi that split the air in two.
"Crack!"
The Blood Sword Qi was sharp beyond compare, easily slicing through the Flame God Monument.
Li Yuan was taken aback, retreating in shock.
"Rumbling!"
The Blood Sword Qi fell at the spot where Li Yuan had just stood, instantly creating a massive crack in the ground, which trembled violently as if an earthquake had struck.
"Hiss!"
Immediately, those watching from a distance gasped in astonishment.
"I can't be seeing this wrong; he forced Li Yuan back with a single sword strike?"
"Impossible, absolutely impossible! How could someone at the Initial Stage of Insight force back Li Yuan? Could he be some ancient monster in disguise?"
"This is terrifying. With such cultivation, he possesses strength comparable to the Void Realm. It's truly unimaginable."
Everyone was stunned, remaining silent for a long time, unable to speak. It was because Wang Yi, with his Initial Stage of Insight cultivation, had forced back Li Yuan, who was at the Initial Stage of Void Observation. For them, it felt like an absurd tale that could never happen. In martial cultivation, as one progressed further, challenging those beyond one's realm became increasingly difficult. Without exceptional martial skills or overwhelming attack power, it was utterly impossible.
Yet now, witnessing this scene made everyone feel as if they were dreaming.
In the void, Li Yuan hovered in mid-air, his gaze sharp as a sword directed at Wang Yi. After a moment of silence, he said, "No wonder you dare to be here; it turns out you possess strength far beyond your peers?"
Hearing this, Wang Yi remained silent, only coldly staring at Li Yuan.
"Hmph, even so, your strength cannot bridge the gap between us," Li Yuan snorted coldly.
Before his words fell, an overwhelming aura emanated from Li Yuan.
"!!!"
Immediately, Li Yuan stepped towards Wang Yi, causing the space to collapse with each step, the sound relentless.
Moreover, although he had only taken a single step, in the next moment, he had closed the ten-meter distance between himself and Wang Yi. As Li Yuan approached, his aura grew stronger and more solid under the influence of Primordial Energy, making Wang Yi feel as if there was a great mountain rising continuously from Li Yuan.
"Boom!"
With one foot forward, the space collapsed and the air was pushed aside.
"Clang!"
At that moment, a clear sound of a sword ringing out echoed. The Sword of Slaughter was enveloped in a thick, almost tangible blood aura that emitted a nauseating presence.
"Swish!"
The Sword of Slaughter slashed out, producing a sound like fabric being torn apart. A hundred-meter-long Slaughtering Sword Qi shot out like a piercing rainbow breaking through the sky, its momentum unmatched.
"Rumbling!"
The Slaughtering Sword Qi traversed through the void, creating a sound like thunder descending, deafening.
"!"
At this moment, Li Yuan was approaching, his aura reaching a peak state, unmatched. With a single palm strike, a rumbling sound echoed as he directly shattered the Slaughtering Sword Qi and aimed at Wang Yi.
Wang Yi suddenly felt as if he had been locked down by a great mountain, unable to move.
"Die!" Li Yuan roared, his palm landing on Wang Yi. Instantly, Wang Yi was sent flying as if struck by lightning, spitting out a mouthful of blood, his face pale as paper, and he flew back three hundred meters before finally stopping.
"Cough cough cough." Wang Yi felt his internal energy surging violently and coughed up three mouthfuls of blood.
"It seems that Wang Yi is doomed. Although his strength is far superior to other warriors of the same rank, he stands no chance against the Void Realm expert Li Yuan."
"Indeed, the gap between them is simply too vast. If it were anyone else, they would have likely died long ago."
"That's right. However, for Wang Yi to die at the hands of a Void Realm expert is somewhat commendable."
Seeing Wang Yi's pale face, the crowd shook their heads and sighed.
"Die!" Li Yuan growled, his eyes filled with murderous intent that seemed tangible. He struck out with his palm, exuding overwhelming power.
"Void Divine Art!"
At this critical moment, Wang Yi suddenly shouted loudly, his entire body surging with Primordial Energy. Following this, an immense force radiated from him, vast and unassailable.
"Rumbling!"
The power of the Void Divine Art came from the void itself, elusive and without origin, yet filled with destructive force capable of annihilating everything in existence. As it manifested, it shattered Li Yuan's palm strike and fiercely pressed down upon him.
"Puff." Li Yuan was caught off guard and immediately spat out a mouthful of blood as he was sent flying.
"What?"
"Impossible?"
"What is going on?"
Immediately, everyone's faces were filled with shock and disbelief. No one expected that Wang Yi, who had just been injured by Li Yuan, could suddenly make a dramatic turnaround and defeat the opponent. It was truly unbelievable.
"What kind of power is this?"
"This is terrifying; I feel like I'm about to die."
"This is too frightening. With Li Yuan at the Initial Stage of Void Observation, he couldn't even block this move."
Looking at the pale-faced Li Yuan, everyone was astonished, and their gazes toward Wang Yi were tinged with fear.
"You injured me?" Li Yuan swallowed a mouthful of thick blood, his face filled with disbelief.
"You deserve to die!" Wang Yi said coldly, his eyes filled with murderous intent.
"Damn it!" Li Yuan roared in anger, soaring into the air. He reached out his hand toward the void, and a sword gleaming with cold light appeared in his grasp.
With a cold laugh, Li Yuan shot forward like lightning, looking at Wang Yi with a sinister grin, and shouted, "Slash!"
As the word left his mouth, the air seemed to be infused with a chilling aura of slaughter.
With the sound of his voice fading, a sword qi over a hundred feet long sliced through the air, as if it were a piece of cloth being torn in two.
"Rip!"
Accompanied by the ripping sound, a sword qi resembling a flowing ribbon appeared before Yang Yu, exuding a chilling murderous intent.
"Die!" Li Yuan roared.
However, to his surprise, Yang Yu looked at the descending sword energy with a calm expression, his face as still as an ancient well, without a ripple.
"Break!"
A faint word escaped from Wang Yi's lips. As the words fell, an immense power emanated from Wang Yi's fingertips. With a whoosh, it shot out, the Void Divine Art, carrying an incredible void force that violently collided with the sword energy.
With a thunderous sound, boundless waves of energy surged outward like a tide, instantly creating a hundred-foot-high Primordial Energy wave. The ground was pressed down several feet deep, looking terrifying.
After a long while, everything returned to calm, revealing Li Yuan's pale face.
"What?" Li Yuan looked at Wang Yi in the void, who showed no signs of damage, his face displaying shock. Zhang Da opened his mouth but remained speechless for a long time.
"Die!"
Wang Yi coldly uttered a single word. He merely pointed lightly at Li Yuan, and with a soft sound, a stream of light pierced into the latter's heart. Blood gushed out like wine from an uncorked bottle, staining his white clothes red.
"Ah!" The aura of death enveloped Li Yuan. The pain in his heart caused his breath to gradually fade, and his bodily functions slowly weakened. Then, before the shocked gazes of everyone present, Li Yuan's body fell to the ground like a string of broken pearls, blood splattering everywhere; he had already become a cold corpse.
Immediately, the air fell into a brief silence.
"Li Yuan is dead."
After a long time passed, a voice filled with shock and disbelief rang out and quickly reached everyone's ears.
"Hiss!"
A shocked gasp echoed, filling the air with a heavy atmosphere.
Immediately, everyone's gaze turned to Wang Yi, their faces etched with astonishment, and after a long silence, no one spoke.
"Wang Yi, did you kill him?" Ji Ziyue flew to Wang Yi's side, her delicate face filled with shock and disbelief.
"Let's go." Wang Yi said nothing more, merely nodding slightly. With his current cultivation level, killing a strong opponent at the Initial Stage of Void Observation was not difficult. If he combined forces with Ling and Jiuyang, it was possible to contend against someone at the Void-Phase Late Stage.
Although Wang Yi thought it was only natural, Ji Ziyue looked even more astonished. Cultivating to the level of Void-Viewing Three Realms made it exceptionally difficult to challenge someone of a higher realm, let alone cross-boundary challenges. Yet now, this vivid scene unfolded before Ji Ziyue's eyes, and the shock she felt was unimaginable.
"So his name is Wang Yi. I wonder if he is from the Wang Family?"
"Alas, Li Yuan's son really shouldn't have provoked Wang Yi; otherwise, they wouldn't have met such an end."
"Indeed, all because of a beautiful woman. Now I truly see it; because of that one woman, both Li Yuan and his son perished. It's truly tragic."
"Li Yuan was also a formidable figure; who would have thought he would end up like this? If only he didn't have such a useless son!"
As everyone recalled Li Yuan's identity and cultivation level, they all sighed in lamentation.
