Xia Liu had already made up his mind, and spiritual energy surged violently around Murong Ao. The peak pressure of the fifteenth layer of Qi Cultivation blasted toward Xia Liu without any restraint. The air along the path was crushed, emitting a series of rumbling sounds. Everyone widened their eyes immediately, even though the pressure wasn't directed at them. Yet, they could feel the destructive power within. Even an Early-Stage cultivator at the fifteenth layer of Qi Cultivation could hardly stand upright under such pressure. However, an unbelievable scene unfolded. Enduring all the pressure, Xia Liu stood unharmed! Thɪs chapter is updated by 𝕟𝕠𝕧𝕖𝕝⚑𝕗𝕚𝕣𝕖⚑𝕟𝕖𝕥 Only his cheeks showed slight movement; he simply clenched his teeth and endured it completely! The cultivation at the twelfth layer of Qi Cultivation could actually resist such pressure. It must be said that Xia Liu is somewhat mysterious. "Interesting, your physique is very special, but that's all!" Murong Ao's expression was blank, his palm faintly gathering spiritual energy. "Family Head Murong, will you dare to accept this bet?" Xia Liu did not rush to respond. Charging in is a risky move; he didn't want to make a decisive move until the crucial moment. If he could ingeniously obtain the opportunity to go to the Kunwu Realm, he wouldn't miss it. "Do you really think you can resist everyone with such cultivation?" Murong Ao's anger suddenly vanished. Xia Liu insisted , there must be something fishy; he really wanted to know what this guy relied on. "Haha! Absolutely ridiculous!" "Only at the twelfth layer of Qi Cultivation? Stop embarrassing yourself." "Exactly, with such cultivation, it's not worth showing off in front of the Murong Family." Many from the Murong Family began to mock. Xia Liu considered himself important. If even a boastful cultivator at the twelfth layer of Qi Cultivation couldn't be resisted, the Murong Family indeed needed reform. Everyone treated Xia Liu's words as a joke, and few took him seriously. The elders were the same, merely chuckling without speaking. "Unless we try, how will we know where the limit is?" Xia Liu smiled faintly with immense confidence and a hint of arrogance. "Haha! Good! I'll take this bet, but if all the elders from my Murong Family bully you alone, it would be laughable. If you can defeat me, I'll open the entrance in my personal capacity." Murong Ao laughed heartily, wanting to see what skills this arrogant youth actually possessed. "In that case, Family Head Murong thought it through!" "Worry about yourself instead!" The smile on Murong Ao's face immediately vanished; indeed, he should not give him face. If he did, Xia Liu would be insufferable, truly hard to guard against! "Family Head Murong, don't underestimate him, this youth is extremely unusual." As Murong Ao was about to step forward, Elder Tianjian advised. "Hmm? Elder Tianjian, what have you noticed?" "I haven't noticed anything specifically, but I have a feeling that you'll lose to him..." Murong Ao had already become speechless. With cultivation at the peak of the fifteenth layer of Qi Cultivation, a step away from Foundation Establishment Stage, how could he possibly lose to a youth less than thirty years old? Absolutely impossible! "Perhaps I'm overthinking, but remember not to be careless." Elder Tianjian felt a bit awkward, given that Murong Ao had peak cultivation at the fifteenth layer of Qi Cultivation. "Father, please don't harm his life." As Murong Ao descended from the high platform, his youngest daughter's voice echoed in his mind. Glancing at Murong Yan, he smiled and nodded. He never intended to kill Xia Liu, and attacking was just to wake him. As Murong Ao stepped onto the rubble pile, the entire audience fell silent. Though they knew Xia Liu would lose. Witnessing the Family Head's demonstration was worth the presence of this fellow. "I won't abuse my power; I'll let you take three moves." Murong Ao stood with hands behind his back, his imposing figure fixed ahead. "No need, Family Head Murong, display freely; if you hold back, I wouldn't win honorably." "What a conceited fool!" "To hell with it, he's about to boast a cow to death!" "Speechless, hope the Family Head crushes him directly." Xia Liu's words provoked a lot of backlash, as he was excessively arrogant. No one could stand him. Even Murong Yan regretted her concern for this fool. Let her father slice him with one palm and trample him to the ground; how could anyone help him that way? "I won't say much; get ready!" Murong Ao's expression drastically changed, and a streak of light shot forth from his fingertips. Since Xia Liu didn't want him to hold back, he should prepare for the might of a High-Rank Cultivator! Facing the overpowering vigor, Xia Liu pushed with his Eight Trigrams, opening Yin and Yang. The move used was precisely the Sect-Protecting Move of Taiyi Sect. Taiyi Eight Trigrams Palm! At the moment of action, Xia Liu's left hand captured World-Collapsing Vigor. Combat Rotation Art manifested again, the vigor flowing through the Eight Extraordinary Meridians. Stimulating special meridians, Xia Liu's right palm spread aside, and in the next moment, the vigor erupted from the palm. An explosive sound, the pedestal on the right shattered instantaneously. Using Murong Ao's vigor. "He can transfer the Family Head's attack!" "What kind of strange technique is this?" "Could it be some demonic art?" "What sect's method is this?" Faced with Xia Liu's first strike, everyone immediately expressed their surprise. After all, it was a streak from the fifteenth layer of Qi Cultivation; even a fourteenth layer cultivator would weigh their ability to confront it directly. Yet, for Xia Liu, just a casual move diverted all the vigor. Moreover, the most terrifying part was that the vigor entered his body! Seeing Xia Liu perform the Combat Rotation Stellar Shift Technique, Elder Tianjian's expression changed, so excited he couldn't speak. "A bit mysterious, but that's all!" Murong Ao only emitted a single streak; Xia Liu could transfer it, truly has some methods. Yet, still not enough to justify his arrogance, to dismiss High-Strength cultivators with disdain! "Great Void Transforming Palm!" Murong Ao formed a hand seal, gathering three thousand illusive lights in space, finally converging into his palm. The vast spiritual energy within him flowed like a waterfall, traversing the Eight Extraordinary Meridians, and finally entering the Great Void Transforming Palm. "Such terrifying pressure!" Xia Liu felt locked on, as if a great mountain pressed down on his shoulders. However, wanting to bind him, Murong Ao did not possess such skills! "Heaven and Earth Moving Wind!" Facing a flawless move, Xia Liu did not rashly confront head-on. The power of Heaven and Earth Gang Wind had an extraordinary effect, able to dissolve the move with minimal consumption. As Murong Ao's palm struck, the void resonated. Xia Liu's eyes flared open; this strange palm blended into the Heaven and Earth Void! Seeing this, Xia Liu immediately withdrew his palms, then his Divine Sense surged, and the Flowing Fire Sword appeared in his hand. Divine Sense fluctuated, enveloping an area of ten meters. In the next moment, his hand gripped the sword handle and drew it, Flowing Fire Opens the Edge! Sword sound, wind sound, sound after sound trembled...
