Chapter 40 Secret Arts Emerge

Damn it, Ye Ningze, don't force me into mutual destruction! Li Chengqian gritted his teeth and said, "Even if you kill me, the Li family will not let you off easily!"

His tone was resolute, clearly prepared for self-detonation.

Hmph, mutual destruction? You're still too green! Ye Ningze snorted coldly, a frigid glint flashing in his eyes. He stomped on the ground with his right foot, his body instantly soaring into the air. Gripping his pitch-black long saber, he fiercely slashed towards Li Chengqian!

Seeing this, Li Chengqian's heart tightened. He quickly shouted, "I am also at the Grandmaster realm, Ye Ningze! My Li family is willing to let this matter go! Do you have to fight me to the death?!"

A mocking curve formed on Ye Ningze's lips: Hmph, even if you, Li Chengqian, unleash your full Grandmaster realm power, I can still slay you!

Damn it!

Li Chengqian grunted, clenching his fists tightly. His muscles trembled with anger and excitement, and wisps of terrifying aura continuously surged.

Seeing Li Chengqian's appearance, Ye Ningze sneered dismissively: How dare you insult my friend! Today, I will surely send you to the underworld!

With that, Ye Ningze's figure charged towards Li Chengqian once more.

Li Chengqian gritted his teeth, wielding his long sword and desperately resisting.

But his speed was no match for Ye Ningze's; he couldn't even escape!

Ye Ningze relentlessly pursued Li Chengqian. Every time his black long saber cut through the void, it would tear Li Chengqian's clothes, along with his flesh, drawing blood that splattered everywhere, a gruesome sight.

"No, I have a great future ahead of me, I cannot die!"

Li Chengqian's body was wounded, and he continuously spat blood, looking utterly pathetic. Yet, his hands did not falter; he continued to wield his long sword, launching attacks at Ye Ningze!

Ye Ningze sneered: A mere trick!

Saying this, he suddenly leaped up, and the black long saber in his hand fiercely chopped down towards Li Chengqian's head!

Bang!

The saber's aura sliced through the void, carrying a terrifying gust of wind that slammed into Li Chengqian's forehead!

Li Chengqian hastily raised his sword to block, but his wrist went numb. With a flick of his hand, his treasured sword instantly flew out of his grasp and soared into the distance.

Li Chengqian watched his sword fly out of sight, a sense of powerlessness surging within him. His heart sank to the bottom, his face filled with dejection and sorrow.

Hahaha! Ye Ningze, I bear the mark of the Li family! If you kill me, you will be marked, and you will await the day my Li family exacts its revenge!

Li Chengqian roared to the heavens, his voice like a surging tide, echoing across the mountain range, lingering endlessly.

Ye Ningze, hearing Li Chengqian's venomous voice, paid it no mind.

Heh heh! Li Chengqian, I await that day!

Ye Ningze said with a cold smile.

Before his words had even finished, the pitch-black long saber in his hand swung out again!

Another dark saber aura whistled and swept towards Li Chengqian!

This time, Ye Ningze's saber aura was even more potent and his power more ferocious and domineering than before!

Ye Ningze's saber strike was aimed at Li Chengqian's forehead!

Li Chengqian's expression changed. He knew Ye Ningze wouldn't easily let this strike go, and he was utterly incapable of resisting. He could only grit his teeth and brace himself, resisting with all his might.

Clang!

A crisp metallic clash resounded. Li Chengqian's body was violently blasted backward.

The clothes on his body directly exploded, pieces of fabric flying in the air. Three wounds, five centimeters deep, appeared on his body. Blood flowed profusely from the wounds, an exceptionally horrifying sight!

One of his arms, his left arm, was directly cleaved off by Ye Ningze's pitch-black long saber. A bloody finger fell to the ground. His body was sent flying backward, crashing heavily into a patch of woods, kicking up a cloud of dirt.

Li Chengqian spat another mouthful of blood. A look of utter horror appeared in his eyes!

How could this be? How could he be so strong? My true essence is more vigorous, and my strength is deeper. I am a peak Grandmaster realm martial artist, how could I be chased like a stray dog by this junior who has just entered the Grandmaster realm?!

Li Chengqian's heart was filled with confusion and bewilderment; he couldn't understand!

"Do I have to use that move?!"

Li Chengqian thought despairingly in his heart.

The Li family had ancestral teachings: if that move was used below the Grandmaster realm, it would result in a backlash, causing severe internal injuries at best, and at worst, qi deviation, leading to direct death!

Must I truly perish here?!

Li Chengqian's heart was filled with intense unwillingness.

He was unwilling! He did not want to die! But at this moment, there was no other way but to fight desperately!

Li Chengqian took a few deep breaths, circulated his true essence to forcefully suppress his injuries, and stood up from the ground. Then, he charged towards Ye Ningze!

He refused to believe that with his peak Grandmaster realm cultivation, he couldn't defeat Ye Ningze, who had just broken through to the Grandmaster realm. Moreover, his eyes were now bloodshot, and he had already activated his Li family's secret technique!

Well met! Li Chengqian, are you finally willing to use your strongest trump card?!

Seeing Li Chengqian charge at him, Ye Ningze's smile grew even colder. His figure flickered, and he dashed towards Li Chengqian with lightning speed!

Clang clang!

Instantly, saber and sword met, sparks flying in all directions!

Ye Ningze was surprised to find that Li Chengqian's strength had actually increased significantly compared to just now?

The long saber in his hand was almost shaken out of his grip.

Ye Ningze, I will risk my life today to drag you down with me!!!

Li Chengqian roared, wielding his long sword with both hands and fiercely thrusting it at Ye Ningze.

A hint of solemnity appeared on Ye Ningze's face. He continuously swung his long saber, engaging Li Chengqian in a fierce battle!

Amidst a series of clanging metallic collisions, Ye Ningze and Li Chengqian fought intensely.

Between them, brilliant and dazzling sparks constantly erupted, causing a scorching wave of heat to permeate the surrounding air!

A flicker of solemnity flashed in Ye Ningze's eyes. Although his strength was slightly superior to Li Chengqian's, this fellow Li Chengqian had unleashed his family's secret technique without regard for the consequences.

The power of his long sword had surged, each strike carrying thousands of pounds of force, and the sword qi was extremely formidable. Ye Ningze's protective qi could not fully resist it; with each collision, his protective qi would be shattered.

For a time, Ye Ningze's arm also felt a dull ache, a sensation that made him uneasy!

Ye Ningze, die!

Li Chengqian suddenly roared, and the long sword in his hand erupted with a dazzling purple saber aura. Under Li Chengqian's control, this purple saber aura transformed into hundreds of feet long and shot directly towards Ye Ningze!
