"Xuan'er?!"
"This Qin Xuan is actually still alive?"
"He just took a direct hit from a Golden Core expert!"
Hearing Qin Xuan's voice, the surrounding rogue cultivators exclaimed in surprise.
Especially those with long cultivation and extensive knowledge, like the Golden Snake Old Monster and the Jade-Faced Gentleman, their voices cracked, almost unable to make a sound.
The gap between Golden Core and Core Formation was even greater than the gap between Core Formation and ordinary people.
Yet this Qin Xuan had withstood the attack of a Golden Core cultivator and was speaking as if he were unharmed!
Could it be that his cultivation had also surpassed Core Formation and reached the Golden Core realm?
But, that was impossible!
The Lie family's Old Ancestor had lived for at least a hundred years to defy fate and achieve Golden Core.
How old was this Qin Xuan?
In his early twenties?
At such an age, even in the era thousands of years ago when spiritual energy was most abundant, very few could reach Golden Core!
Let alone now.
Shock and curiosity drove people to focus their gaze on the earth ball suspended in mid-air.
And Qin Xuan did not disappoint them.
As the cracks gradually widened, the earth ball completely split open and fell.
In mid-air, only Qin Xuan stood leisurely, without even a speck of dust on him.
"You're really completely fine?!"
Upon seeing Qin Xuan's figure, Lie Xinyuan's pupils contracted sharply.
Although he hadn't used his full strength just now, he had still utilized the power of nature that only Golden Core realm cultivators could wield.
For any ordinary Core Formation cultivator, let alone moving, surviving would be a miracle!
But Qin Xuan?
Not only was he impeccably clean, but he also spoke with a calm and indifferent tone, as if he hadn't just suffered a fatal blow.
How could this allow Lie Xinyuan to remain calm?
Without a second word, he clenched his fist and grabbed more earth, hurling it towards Qin Xuan.
This time, Qin Xuan naturally would not let the opponent act with impunity.
With a push of his hand, everything Lie Xinyuan had done instantly became void.
Large chunks of earth fell to the ground, kicking up endless dust.
"Good kid, you can actually ignore the power of nature!"
"If that's the case, then take this punch!"
Seeing that his previous move was useless against Qin Xuan, Lie Xinyuan did not hesitate. He flew up and threw a punch directly at Qin Xuan's face.
BOOM—!
As he flew, endless flames erupted from Lie Xinyuan's body.
The outer layer of the flames was a dense red, while the part closest to Lie Xinyuan's fist was almost white!
This was the color that flames possessed when their temperature exceeded 4000 degrees.
It was enough to prove the power of Lie Xinyuan's strike!
Not only that, but the crimson flames trailing behind him were equally formidable.
As he flew towards Qin Xuan, the oxygen concentration in the entire air instantly dropped by a notch.
The residual flames that fell from him continued to burn on the land without any fuel!
"Terrifying!"
"Is this the ultimate form of the Lie family's Blazing Fist?!"
Feeling the extreme heat from the front, everyone immediately retreated hundreds of meters. Qin Ling'er and Lie Feng were even taken a thousand meters away by Ke Wudi and Zheng Wanqing, who had broken free!
Even so, they could still feel the terrifying flames emanating from Lie Xinyuan. Those standing in front even had the illusion of being in a furnace.
Fortunately, Lie Xinyuan's attack was not directed at them.
So, although they felt some discomfort, it did not affect their observation.
In a flash.
While everyone retreated hundreds of meters due to the high temperature, Qin Xuan did not show any panic like the others.
Since cultivating the new "Tai Xuan Jing," his adaptability had also greatly improved compared to before.
Although he couldn't be immune to fire and water, he could greatly reduce the damage to himself.
Therefore, even though the flames in Lie Xinyuan's hand exceeded 4000 degrees, it was still nothing to him.
As for the spiritual energy attached to the fist, he felt it.
With his strength, he could completely…
Take it head-on!
THUMP—!
BOOM!
Two consecutive loud noises struck the hearts of everyone present.
Especially the members of the Lie family, as well as Ke Wudi, Zheng Wanqing, and Qin Ling'er.
They stared intently at the center point where the two were fighting.
However, the distance was too great, and Qin Ling'er could only see the distant flames, unable to see the specific situation.
It is worth noting that at this moment, one person's thoughts were quite different from everyone else's.
That person was Lu Ao, who was betrothed to the Lie family but could only watch from the sidelines.
He had originally planned for Qin Xuan to brutally defeat Lie Quan, and then he would step in. After the Lie family had exhausted their trump cards and dealt with Qin Xuan, he would reap the benefits.
But now, the situation seemed to have completely exceeded his expectations.
The appearance of Lie Qing, Lie Quan's father, was within his expectations.
He had even anticipated Lie Quan's decision to use formations against Qin Xuan.
The only miscalculation was this so-called Lie family Old Ancestor, Lie Xinyuan.
He truly did not expect that in the current environment, someone in the Lie family could still break through to the Golden Core realm!
After all, just as Lie Quan had thought, after the great changes in the world, whoever possessed a Golden Core Old Ancestor basically represented the ability to lead the entire cultivation world.
Even his Lu family possessed super formations like the Lie family.
The reason was simple: you couldn't just use your strongest attack to kill the opponent's Golden Core ancestor, could you?
If that were the case, with the spiritual energy depleted, what would be the point of this barrier here?
Therefore, even though Qin Xuan stood on the opposite side of everyone, Lu Ao hoped that Qin Xuan would directly kill Lie Xinyuan here.
After all, the reputation of the Dragon Country's official side was still good in their eyes. Although they couldn't fully trust it, there was some truth to it.
Lie Xinyuan was different.
As a senior in the cultivation world, he understood the law of the jungle the best.
As long as Qin Xuan was defeated and Lie Xinyuan remained unharmed.
After a brief period of rest, he would inevitably sweep through all the cultivation forces with lightning speed.
Because the Golden Core realm cultivator had been exposed, if he didn't act, others would form an alliance to resist him. At that time, too many ants would bite an elephant to death, which was something Lie Xinyuan would never want to see.
Of course, the best outcome of this situation would be for Qin Xuan and Lie Xinyuan to both be severely injured, or even perish together.
In this way, his Lu family would still be the strongest family in the southwest of the Dragon Country, and all plans could remain unchanged.
Just as Lu Ao was frantically racking his brain, thinking about how to leave more fallback options for himself, the battle between Qin Xuan and Lie Xinyuan had officially begun.
The two exchanged blows, meeting each other with astonishing speed, exchanging hundreds of punches in an instant.
The sound of their fists shook the heavens, and the entire barrier seemed to tremble with their blows.
After a few seconds, the two suddenly separated.
Lie Xinyuan stood with his hands behind his back, sneering. Qin Xuan, on the other hand, shook his slightly sore fist and looked at his opponent provocatively.
"Good kid, you've got some skills!"
Looking at this young man who was evenly matched with him, Lie Xinyuan, though impressed, still thought he was naive.
Of the hundred punches he had thrown, at least half of them were "Dark Burst Punches."
Countless dark flames had been injected into the opponent's body during their exchange.
Now, after a series of punches, it seemed as though neither side had gained an advantage, but in reality, he had already secured victory!
"Kid, when you act in your next life, make sure to keep your eyes wide open!"
"Provoke the people you should provoke, and stay far away from those you shouldn't!"
"Dark flames, explode!"
