Chapter 565: Fighting with Force, Observing from the Side

ve bothered to come over personally. Under normal circumstances, the lotus avatar rarely leaves the Chiyue Desert. "Although he didn't bring back the little fire crow, the Soul-Seeking White Dog, and...Both Jue Yuan and Xiong Ba's eyes flashed a hint of surprise. Under the environment of Feitian Sha Cave, yellow sand filled the sky, with a large number of rocks and yellow sand swirling into the air. When Lu Xia Tian swallowed the essence and soul of the emperor's pupil demon deer, the surging aura was mostly obscured by the commotion caused by Feitian Sha Cave. They didn't noticeably feel the change in Lu Xia Tian's aura. It was only when they saw Lu Xia Tian's arm tremble slightly, shattering the ice on his arm, that they were inevitably surprised. They had personally witnessed Jue Xin Dao Ren using Han Ning San to punish a late-stage Jindan cultivator. That chilling aura was so terrifying that even they wouldn't dare to touch it. However, this silver-haired boy seemed to have a different way.

"Boy, that cold Qi emanating from you must be unbearable, better just surrender!" Xiong Ba let out a sinister laugh. His five fingers clenched tightly, and at some point, a silver boxing glove appeared on his hand. He launched a punch towards Lu Xiaitian's head.

Lu Xia Tian drew his sword directly with his right hand. The Splitting Earth Blade transformed into a dazzling cold light, slicing through the air in an arc and crashing onto Xiong Ba's gauntlet.

With a clang, Xiong Ba's figure trembled violently, and he retreated several steps at the same time as Lu Xiaoteng.

"How is this possible" Xiong Ba exclaimed in astonishment, his face a mixture of disbelief. He was now a ninth-tier powerhouse, but still some distance from the peak. He had always held a degree of fear and respect for Chi Yun Sang, but in his eyes, Lu Xia Tian, a mere Golden Core initial stage cultivator who he could have easily crushed with one hand, had just repelled him with a single strike. A person he could defeat with ease was now able to stand against him, even pushing him back. Xiong Ba, with his pride, found it hard to accept this turn of events.

Even from afar, Juyuan, who had pretended to be lagging behind under the pretense of controlling his cold energy dispersal, was visibly shocked. His eyes flickered with a hint of madness. For a mere early-stage Jindan cultivator to achieve such a level, there must certainly be some extraordinary treasure on his person.

After clashing with Xiong Bailì, Lu Xiaotīan didn't feel any discomfort. Instead, a hint of excitement stirred within him. He hadn't expected that after only thirty years of cultivating his golden core, he could directly face a ninth-order demonic beast. Although there was a large element of luck involved, from the bottom of his heart, Lu Xiaotīan had always hoped for this day—to experience firsthand the power of a ninth-order demonic beast comparable to a late-stage golden core cultivator. This would be immensely beneficial for his future cultivation. Strong winds know about tough herbs; only by experiencing more difficult tempering and challenges can one survive and progress faster than usual.

However, Lu Xia Tian also knew the gap between him and Xiong Ba. Although he had consumed the Nascent Soul essence of the Nine-Rank Emperor's Eye Demon Deer, his strength had greatly increased. The Swallowing Souls Great Law was indeed heaven-defying, but the Dao is simple and honest. Power that isn't one's own isn't one's own. No matter how powerful the technique, it can't make up for the difference in cultivation accumulated over time. Lu Xia Tian knew that even after consuming the essence of the Nine-Rank Emperor's Eye Demon Deer, he was still somewhat behind the Nine-Rank Xiong Ba. However, because he had the Earth Vein Leaf given to him by Chi Yun Sang, the suction force of the Flying Heaven Sand Cave had been greatly reduced for him. Coupled with his own cultivation and the superposition of the Swallowing Souls Great Law, he was able to gain a slight advantage in the recent probing exchanges.

Even if the Feitian Shaxu wasn't there, even though the lingering chill from the earlier cold spell still affected him, Lu Xia Tian at most could only barely withstand Xiong Ba. He wouldn't be able to gain even a slight advantage like he is now.

Since he now had the upper hand, there was no need for politeness. Lu Xiaoteng's face held a cold glint. With a single stride, his body moved like a ghost, gliding several feet through the swirling sand and flying stones, pressing closer to Xiong Ba. The Lie Di Dao in his hand flashed out several blades of light in an instant. He didn't use any fancy sword techniques, just simple, unadorned slashes. His moves were crude, but incredibly fast and concise.

"How dare you be so presumptuous, junior!" Bear Ba was furious when a cultivator at the initial stage of Jindan attacked him. He roared and crossed his fists. The silver gauntlets on his claws flashed, extending silver armor-like guards from inside, protecting his arms tightly.

Without any worries behind him, Xiong Ba's arms danced like a forest, heavy shadows forming a mountain-like barrier in front of him.

The blade met the silver-grey boxing glove with a resounding, dull clash.

This kind of unadorned fight tests the strength of both sides. After repeated probes, Xiong Ba's heart calmed down slightly. He could feel that although Lu Xiaoteng's strength had increased dramatically, it was still not enough to threaten his life. As long as he played steadily, although he might not be able to defeat Lu Xiaoteng for the time being, he would be safe. It's just that although Lu Xiaoteng's strength was still inferior to him, under the frenzied suction of Feitian Sha Cave, he moved with ease and speed. Every time Xiong Ba threw a heavy punch, Lu Xiaoteng could always dodge in time. After several punches, not only were they ineffective, but it was like punching cotton. He felt extremely uncomfortable. Every time Lu Xiaoteng would take the opportunity to counterattack, making him quite embarrassed.

Although his father, Xiong Ao, was a demon cultivator, he inherited his father's bloodline and could maintain a mostly human form. Fortunately, a thick layer of fur on his face concealed the burning blush. Jue Yuan was watching from the side; otherwise, being pressured to such an extent by an opponent at the early stage of Jindan would truly be humiliating for him.

Lu Xia Tian held the Splitting Earth Blade and moved with Xiong Ba. Several times, he pressed his hand on his spirit beast pouch, wanting to release Di Kun. With Xiong Ba's current performance, he could barely suppress him. If there was another strong reinforcement like Di Kun, it wouldn't be impossible to injure Xiong Ba, at least. However, Lu Xia Tian hesitated several times and gave up. After all, Di Kun didn't have the Earth Vein Leaf to resist the suction force of Flying Sand Cave. Even if he fully fought Xiong Ba at this moment, Lu Xia Tian's deputy Yuanshen still noticed Jue Yuan's flickering eyes from afar. There was a bit of eagerness to try, but there seemed to be a hint of wanting to watch the excitement in it. It seemed that he wasn't worried about Chi Yun Sang breaking free and the threat it would bring, or perhaps even if Chi Yun Sang miraculously broke the seal of Han Ning San afterward, he would still be severely injured, not as brave as before Or did Jue Yuan have something else up his sleeve

Although Di Kun is not weak, he cannot decide the outcome in this kind of battle. Xiong Ba is the descendant of the demon cultivator Xiong Ao, and it would not be easy to severely injure him. Since Jue Yuan wants to watch the excitement, let him see what's going on for now. Right now, his most important task is not to severely injure Xiong Ba, but to drag until Chi Yun Sang wakes up. With Chi Yun Sang's experience, he will not be without a backup plan and will definitely have thought of the consequences of being defeated by the opponent.

"Since you want to see the excitement, then let you have your fill." Lu XiaTian thought to himself.
