Chapter 1340: Chapter 1311: Infinite Level Showdown
Lieu Zhanxiao is undeniably strong.
Even before his breakthrough, he was a formidable martial artist without question.
The Great Scorching’s cultivation, his battle experience, is incredibly vast; moreover, as the Sacred Mountain Sect Leader, he is knowledgeable and adept at handling various situations.
And now, having broken through to the Infinite Level, Lieu Zhanxiao’s strength is unrivaled. One could say that in the entire Main World, it’s difficult to find many warriors like him.
The Demon King is equally powerful.
At the peak of the Infinite Level, perhaps he could even break through, but he’s tightly bound to this cultivation due to the minor world’s constraints.
What is the scene when two warriors of unmatched strength clash?
There are no earth-shattering collisions or wild roars—only simple and silent exchanges.
It looks incredibly slow and simple, like two ordinary people fighting.
But Li Chen knows that within every casual strike of theirs lies incredibly terrifying power.
“It seems that at the Infinite Level, one’s control over their own power has reached a perfect realm,” Li Chen mused, nodding thoughtfully.
It’s not that their attacks lack power; rather, their force is so concentrated and without waste that it looks this way.
Previously, Behemoth used attacks with such a broad range only because there were so many strong opponents around; wide-range attacks suited the previous situation better.
But now, he faced an opponent on a different scale.
Only one!
Yet, Behemoth feared this sole opponent more than all the previous ones combined.
In Behemoth’s hand, no longer a black light sword formed by attribute true qi, but a bone knife, gripped at an unknown time.
The bone knife is incredibly sharp, equally emitting a metallic luster around its edges.
Li Chen suddenly realized that the bone knife might just be tempered from Behemoth’s claw.
“Clang!!”
When the longsword and bone knife collided, there was a dull sound of metal clashing, but otherwise, there was no additional noise.
Yet, Li Chen saw something; at the point of their sword and knife clash, the air seemed to twist suddenly.
Having mastered some power of space, Li Chen is incredibly sensitive to spatial changes.
He was amazed to find, just at the moment of the two colliding, the space around them severely twisted.
Though it quickly returned to normal, Li Chen’s heart remained deeply shocked.
Because it was his first time seeing someone capable of twisting space by brute force alone, without relying on spatial power.
Though brief, this demonstrated how terrifying their attacks truly were.
Li Chen turned to see Ning Wangyang, who had been thrown out, was already unconscious.
This silent man, never complaining, even in unconsciousness, made no sound. Li Chen smiled wryly, shook his head, and silently moved a distance away from the battlefield to begin healing his injuries.
Although the injuries could heal, Li Chen knew his true qi and combat power would not recover for now.
Even if restored, under the clash of such terrifying warriors, he probably wouldn’t be much help.
For Li Chen, the most crucial thing now was to heal.
Exactly as Lieu Zhanxiao said, the matters here, for now, were left to him. This man used his life to achieve his final breakthrough, wanting only to do something extraordinary at life’s end.
Such as… kill Behemoth!
“Piercing Cold.”
Lieu Zhanxiao’s longsword made a gentle point, and instantly, a massive number of ice spikes appeared around Behemoth.
These ice spikes, unlike before, were exquisite and clear without emitting any chill, like diamonds shining brilliantly in the sunlight.
But at that moment, these were not diamonds but solid ice spikes!
Just that, due to the ice spikes’ extreme cold, the cold air was fully contained within.
If these ice spikes penetrated others, even a brief contact could freeze a martial artist rigid.
And now, Behemoth was surrounded by these ice spikes in an instant.
Behemoth’s single eye was filled with seriousness, and he suddenly raised his hand just before the ice spikes closed in on him.
“Dark Devour!”
Out of nowhere, a dark shroud appeared, rapidly enveloping Behemoth.
At that moment, the ice spikes also charged at Behemoth.
“Sizzle——”
Many ice spikes disappeared upon touching the shroud, their fate unknown, but some indeed collided with it.
Visible on the rotating black shroud were countless shards of ice, its surface punctured by the sharp ice spikes.
Some ice spikes were directly rebounded by the spinning shroud.
Rebounded spikes flew far away.
Nearby, there was a low mountain, into which one ice spike just happened to be knocked.
The next moment, the ice spike pierced through the low mountain, flying further afield.
As if in front of this ice spike, the mountain was but a thin piece of paper, effortlessly penetrated.
And such ice spikes numbered in the hundreds around Behemoth!
Seeing Behemoth trapped by his attack, Lieu Zhanxiao holding the longsword, approached slowly.
He thrust the sword at the rotating black shroud.
But just before his sword struck, a hand suddenly emerged from the shroud.
Or rather, it was a claw.
“Rip!”
The claw tore fiercely, emitting a sharp sound in the air, even shattering a few ice spikes nearby.
Lieu Zhanxiao’s face changed dramatically, retreating swiftly a few steps.
On his chest appeared three deep wounds, blood flowing uncontrollably.
This claw not only shattered the ice spikes but also tore through his surrounding true qi defense, wounding his original body.
Wielding his longsword, Lieu Zhanxiao’s brow furrowed, but he didn’t focus on his injuries. Instead, he noticed the Soul Fragments on him dispersing at an accelerated pace.
Just then, the black shroud around Behemoth shook violently, suddenly bursting apart.
In the wake of the black shroud’s explosion, many ice spikes were directly shattered.
And Behemoth appeared in an instant.
His hands hidden beneath his sleeves suddenly turned into ferocious claws, madly slashing at the surrounding ice spikes.
As Behemoth was still tearing through the ice spikes, Lieu Zhanxiao floated to Li Chen’s side.
