After Favorability Is Maxed

The Palace Spirit, who had lost the restraint of the sword array, raised its head and roared. Because the sound was too loud and spread in the air, it was somewhat distorted. The bronze and white jade on its body rubbed against each other and creaked, showing signs of collapse. It could be seen that its own spiritual power reserve was beginning to be difficult to support its movement.

This guy wasn’t difficult to kill… but it wasn’t easy to take this puppet down while still keeping its integrity either.

Liu Yuan made a judgment in his heart and reached out to grab the hilt of Evil Heart.

The bow-type skills of Evil Heart were no longer useful. The reason this sword could be used as a bow was because it had a mental attack. It was only useful against beings with ‘consciousness’. Inanimate things like the Palace Spirit were completely immune.

So, I have to resort to close combat, I don’t have a choice.

Liu Yuan raised his head and looked at the Gundam-like eight-winged puppet. No one behind him made a sound, but he could feel that everyone’s eyes were focused on him.

Although Xiahou Cenyi’s words gave Liu Yuan an extremely high status and a protective umbrella, it was also a double-edged sword.

If he could not subdue the puppet, he would be throwing Xiahou Cenyi’s face in front of almost all the sects in Central Plains. It was obvious that Xiahou also had the intention of testing him.

Moreover, there was still a spiritual puppet watching over them.

It was not easy to live off a woman these days.

“F*ck…” Liu Yuan muttered. He was a little scared. “When archers are engaged in close combat, something must have gone wrong. At first, it didn’t matter how lousy I was, as long as I had Zhiying and the others’ help. Now, if I lose to this puppet, I’ll be famous in the entire Central Plains.”

He shook his head and sighed as he felt depressed. “Sigh, forget it. I’ll be famous in the future. Just the Singing Sword contest has already made the Green Centipede reveal all my secrets. It’s impossible to hide anything now.”

In the end, Liu Yuan was not known for his combat strength, but he was not weak.

It was just that he felt a little uncomfortable being suddenly surrounded by people.

However, when he injected his spiritual power into Evil Heart, his eyelids twitched.

Liu Yuan subconsciously looked at the long sword in his hand. On the pitch-black blade, there were fire-like intertwining cracks that were burning. They crisscrossed and concentrated at the center of the hilt, forming a small core made of spirit energy, like a decorative gem.

Evil Heart was unprecedentedly active… Because of the demonic Qi!

Liu Yuan’s spirit energy and demonic Qi were now mixed together, so naturally, they were also infused into his body. As an evil sword, Evil Heart seemed to have an exceptional affinity for demonic Qi.

Demonic Qi was probably also a type of foul Qi.

In addition, Liu Yuan was no longer the same as he was in the past. He was no longer the noob who was trapped in the Asura Arena in the City of Ten Thousand Swords!

In the Martial Emperor’s Tomb, he had a preliminary understanding of sword principle. At least, he had made some progress.

Whirrr…

The sword hummed softly. Evil Heart was excited and resonated with Liu Yuan joyfully, expressing its desire to destroy.

Liu Yuan was not sure if Xiahou Cenyi became the sword spirit willingly, but he just had to get on with it…

While he was thinking, the Palace Spirit’s tall body had already rushed over again. Its target last time was Tang Yuanhua, but now, Tang Yuanhua had already taken advantage of the chaos to hide. As expected of someone who had worked in the Green Centipede for many years, his vigilance and timing were very accurate, and his survival instinct was first-class.

Therefore, the target of the Palace Spirit’s demonic attack had now become Liu Yuan, who was at the very front.

Bang bang bang…

The puppet that the white jade Palace had transformed into closed in quickly and smashed down with its fist, creating a huge wind pressure.

At this moment, the Palace Spirit had been weakened from the second level of the Form Synthesis stage to sixth level of the Void Refinement stage. Liu Yuan, on the other hand, had broken through the Soul Formation stage and reached the fourth level Void Refinement stage with the help of the bonuses he received from equipping his cards.

However, he did not have Ling Hua.

She had been standing in the air, and the distance was not enough to activate the card. However, in the situation just now, Liu Yuan did not dare to get close to Ling Hua.

Although she had always been virtuous, generous, and not jealous, she had been acting as if she did not know Liu Yuan, which made the latter a little indecisive. In addition, Xiahou had been stimulating her, so she might not be so virtuous, generous, and not jealous.

Cough, cough. In short, with Liu Yuan’s current strength and the explosive increase in his spiritual power, it was not difficult for him to kill this Gundam. However, if he wanted to fight beautifully, he still had to use his ultimate move.

Liu Yuan stood still with his sword in hand. The Palace Spirit was already in front of him in the blink of an eye, but he still did not move.

Some of the disciples who were watching from behind could not help but exclaim.

When such a huge puppet approached them at a high speed, the pressure it gave off was really terrifying. Besides, the sixth level of the Void Refinement stage was quite powerful. When it ran, it was as if the mountains were collapsing and the earth was cracking.

The Palace Spirit’s fist cracked under the violent wind, and many parts of it fell off and flew backward.

The puppet did not care whether its body could withstand its own violent movement. Every attack it threw out was a life-and-death struggle.

Just like the final radiance of the setting sun, the power of this punch was actually far beyond that of a sixth level Void Refinement stage cultivator. It might even be able to kill a cultivator of the same level in a single punch.

However, Liu Yuan still did not move even in this situation.

“What does he want to do?”

Cen Shanzi from the Taiqing Pavilion frowned. “He’s only at the fourth level of the Void Refinement stage. It’s impossible for him to withstand this punch!”

At this moment, the disciples who were silent began to discuss, breaking the awkward atmosphere.

Fei Chen’s eyes widened. He suspected that this brat had become arrogant because of the Grand Elder’s favor and wanted to prove to them that he was worthy of this qualification, but the opponent was two ranks higher than him.

If this had happened just now, Fei Chen would have laughed and ridiculed him on the spot, but now that Xiahou was beside him, he did not dare to do so.

The others did not dare to either.

Thus, they could only hold their breaths and watch the changes in the field.

Yes, a change, a shocking change!

Swish!

Liu Yuan suddenly unsheathed Evil Heart and made a posture of charging forward. At the same time, the palace Palace Spirit’s punch had already landed.

Boom!

Smoke and dust flew everywhere.

With the Palace Spirit as the center, the ground around him sank, and the shock wave pushed outward, setting off a chaotic storm.

The cultivators with lower cultivation bases were startled by the obstruction, but the pupils of those with higher cultivation bases contracted and they revealed a somewhat shocked expression.

Swish!”

Almost no one saw the process clearly. Liu Yuan’s figure appeared in mid-air in an instant, and the Sword Light broke through the smoke and dust.

“This speed… Extremely close, yet worlds apart… The realm of spatial power?” In the corner, Jiang Po’s expression suddenly changed as he muttered in surprise.

Ji Yushu, who was at the side, heard it. He was a jack of all trades and had read a lot of books. He blinked his eyes and said in a daze, “Isn’t this the True Body Movement Technique of the Taiqing Pavilion?”

After he finished speaking, he subconsciously looked over at the Taiqing Pavilion.

Sure enough, as a core disciple, Cen Shanzi’s face was filled with shock and disbelief, as if he could not believe his eyes.
