A trace of blood trickled from Li Daocheng's lips. He looked up at Ye Ningze, who stood opposite him, his heart filled with an overwhelming shock.
He could not fathom how a freshman, who had only recently entered the elite martial artist realm, could possess such formidable strength, enough to fight him to a standstill.
What kind of monster was this guy?! A flicker of unwillingness flashed in Li Daocheng's eyes as he gritted his teeth and growled.
You forced my hand. Even if I have to get injured, I will keep you here!
Li Daocheng's heart hardened. His eyes darted around, and an idea struck him. kanshu5.ξà
As an elite martial artist, as the most talented among the young generation of the First Academy, he naturally possessed his own pride.
You little bastard, you killed my companion today, and I will surely take your life!
Li Daocheng shouted, leaping from the ground and charging towards Ye Ningze.
Boom boom boom!
Ah ah ah!
Ye Ningze sneered, his figure flashing as he appeared behind Li Daocheng. His long saber slashed out repeatedly, streaks of saber energy tearing through the void and exploding behind the elite martial artist.
As these saber energies exploded, they produced violent blasts. The force of the explosions sent Li Daocheng crashing to the ground, and the energy continued to spread outwards, rippling through the surroundings.
A venomous look flashed across Li Daocheng's face. He scrambled to his feet, grabbed the long spear from the ground, and with a flick of his wrist, a blue light erupted. The spear shot towards Ye Ningze with immense power, hurtling towards Ye Ningze's chest.
Hmph, mere trickery! Ye Ningze snorted, a dismissive look flashing in his eyes. He then brought his long saber down again, clashing fiercely with the spear.
Blinding flashes of light erupted, forming dazzling points at the collision of the spear and Ye Ningze's saber, exploding in mid-air as waves of violent energy raged.
Pfft!
A muffled sound was heard. Li Daocheng staggered back more than ten steps before he could barely steady himself.
How could he be so strong? How could Ye Ningze's combat power be so terrifying! This was just a kid who had recently advanced to the elite martial artist level, how could he unleash such formidable combat power?
Li Daocheng's expression changed slightly, his eyes revealing deep apprehension.
Hmph, judging by your demeanor, you don't seem eager to fight me to the death? Are you scared? Are you afraid? If you're scared, just admit defeat. You're no match for me. Hurry up and surrender, or I won't hold back. Ye Ningze said with a cold snort and a chilling tone.
The elite martial artist from the First Academy's face was extremely grim. The Golden Scaled Poisonous Dragon Python was originally their destined kill, but now this damned Ye Ningze had intercepted it. He was filled with immense anger.
I don't want to waste words with you. I will kill you! Li Daocheng gripped the long spear with both hands, his figure blurring as he charged rapidly towards Ye Ningze.
A layer of pale blue light appeared on Li Daocheng's arm, and patterns continuously spread across it. The power in his long spear grew increasingly formidable.
Seeing this, Ye Ningze raised an eyebrow, a flicker of solemnity in his eyes.
He swung his long saber fiercely, slashing out at Li Daocheng.
Bang!
Another dull thud echoed. This time, Ye Ningze's long saber was directly knocked flying, and his body was sent hurtling back more than ten meters.
Pfft!
A mouthful of scarlet blood spurted from Ye Ningze's mouth, and his body swayed precariously.
How could this be?
Ye Ningze felt his blood churning within him. He couldn't help but frown, his heart filled with inexplicable shock. He had originally thought that Li Daocheng could at most match him, but he hadn't expected Li Daocheng to be this strong even in such a predicament.
Kid, you are indeed very powerful, managing to contend with an elite martial artist. However, I will absolutely not let you leave here alive! kanδん
Ye Ningze was also very surprised. What was going on?
Clearly, in the previous exchanges, he had gradually gained the upper hand, but this guy could now suppress him again?!
Ye Ningze was very surprised.
Meanwhile, Lin Haitao exclaimed in surprise, "You are all too despicable, resorting to secret techniques!"
Li Daocheng's face contorted into a fierce grin. "Kid, your eyesight isn't bad; you even recognize secret techniques! Unfortunately, it's useless!"
Ye Ningze's heart stirred at his words: Secret technique?
He was certainly aware of the existence of secret techniques. It was rumored that they could greatly enhance a person's combat power in a short period, followed by a period of weakness, the duration of which depended on the quality of the secret technique itself.
He just hadn't expected this guy to have mastered such a secret art as a secret technique.
Following that, Li Daocheng grinned menacingly and swung his long spear, attacking him fiercely!
Ye Ningze's heart tightened, and he immediately retreated rapidly to the left.
Bang! Bang! Bang!
A series of dull thuds sounded.
While dodging, Ye Ningze also continuously attacked Li Daocheng, but it was utterly futile.
Ever since the opponent used the secret technique, not only had his own strength been greatly enhanced, but his reaction speed and overall speed had also increased severalfold!
For a moment, Ye Ningze felt immense pressure!
However, he was not an ordinary martial artist. His combat awareness was extremely strong. Although somewhat disheveled, he was still well-protected, and while entangled with the opponent, his mind was also rapidly working.
At this moment, Ye Ningze suddenly remembered something.
He had once read in an ancient text that this type of secret technique could grant martial artists powerful combat capabilities, but it also had drawbacks.
If the martial artist using it had not reached a certain realm, their strength would gradually decrease after using it.
Moreover, this secret technique had another flaw: it could only last for a certain period. Once the time limit was exceeded, the martial artist's strength would be greatly compromised, and they would also suffer injuries!
Generally speaking, martial artists would not use such secret techniques unless they encountered a special situation.
No, this secret technique has not exceeded the scope of such a situation! Ye Ningze understood that as long as he could endure the time Li Daocheng was using the secret technique, and wait for him to enter the period of weakness, he would surely die if he dealt with him then!
And the martial artist from the First Academy also understood: he had to end this quickly, or he would surely die!
