Chapter 145: Chapter 103: First Battle Against the Ranked Experts! _2

Duan Muxi approached the crowd, hands clasped behind his back, his face indifferent.

Lu Li gave a cold glance at the man and wasted no words.

He unleashed his Innate Divine Ability with full force, brutally slashing at his opponent.

Under the enhancement of the two Divine Skills, the aura of the axe was astonishingly powerful, like countless stars plummeting, sweeping everything before it.

“Interesting, truly interesting! It has been a long time since I encountered someone who dared to ignore me.”

Duan Muxi, furious but amused, drew a golden Flying Sword from thin air. The long sword energy, several feet long, ripped through the sky, stirring massive waves, fiercely slashing towards the giant axe.

The surrounding crowd stared intently at the combatants, but were not optimistic about Lu Li’s chances, as Duan Muxi’s strength was well known to them.

What happened next was somewhat unexpected.

“Boom…”

The chaos of scattered Mana was extreme, endless Gang Winds rose from the sea surface, buffeting the cheeks of the onlookers.

As soon as they collided, Lu Li felt a tremendous force coming toward him, throwing his body backward more than ten meters before he steadied himself upon the sea surface.

“This person is powerful; the reputation of those on the Heavenly Ranking List is indeed well-deserved.”

He wore a look of surprise; even with two Divine Skills enhancing him, he was completely at a disadvantage. Moreover, the opponent hadn’t used any Divine Skills, only a top-tier secret technique.

In contrast, Duan Muxi was still standing steadily at the bow of the boat, his aura very stable, his golden Flying Sword suspended in midair, emitting endless chilling gleams.

After this strike, his opponent’s Flying Sword seemed to have run out of strength.

The onlooking crowd stared at Lu Li, faces full of shock.

It was unexpected that under Duan Muxi’s attack, Lu Li only showed a slight sign of faltering.

Even Yin Qian was slightly agape, her face in disbelief.

Despite his aura clearly not reaching that of a person on the Heavenly Ranking List, Lu Li had managed to withstand a strike from Duan Muxi, showing that his foundation was exceedingly profound.

It was unknown which major family or Sect had secretly nurtured him.

As the crowd was in utter shock, the battle resumed.

Unable to take down Lu Li with one strike, Duan Muxi was a mix of annoyed and angry now.

“Die!”

He stimulated his secret technique with all his might, silver Sword Qi flickering on the Flying Sword, releasing an overwhelming momentum in a burst, stirring massive waves.

The terrifying surge chilled those around to the core, nearly reaching the majesty of a Purple Mansion real person.

No wonder those on the Heavenly Ranking List could contest several dozen moves with a Purple Mansion real person; it was indeed alarming.

Lu Li’s face tightened; this person was the most formidable he had encountered in years.

It had been a long time since he had felt such a sense of crisis.

Now his entire body was firmly locked by the opponent’s Divine Sense, leaving him no choice but to take this strike and wait for an opportunity.

He fully activated Fatian Xiangdi; an immense Divine Power surged from deep within his body, and his stature suddenly shot up by three feet, reaching a staggering height of forty-three feet.

The aura of the ancient wilderness began to sweep in all directions, daunting everyone present.

This Combat Divine Ability, after his prolonged contemplation and battle, showed slight signs of a breakthrough.

He had taken a small step towards proficiency.

He estimated that reaching proficiency would give him at least an eighty-foot True Form, drastically enhancing the power of his Divine Ability.

Seeing Lu Li’s aura rise again, the crowd around was dumbstruck, their faces showing some anticipation.

“Can Duan Muxi take him down?”

Yin Qian stood not far from the sea surface, her expression also filled with disbelief.

It was unexpected that under such a powerful attack, Lu Li could still unleash some strength.

As myriad thoughts filled the minds of the onlookers, the two combatants clashed again.

“Boom…”

The fiercely unbounded Mana wildly splashed around, a fierce wind swept from the void, and massive waves surged toward the people.

Lu Li’s body felt a huge shock from the Divine Weapon, forcing him to quickly retreat several meters.

His aura became somewhat turbulent.

He fully operated the Taiyin Refining Diagram to stabilize his own Divine Power.

But Duan Muxi was still firmly standing at the prow; under this strike, the golden Flying Sword still held a bit of an upper hand.

“Who are you, really? With such strength, you cannot be unknown! You’re not on the list of true inheritances of the various Sects!”

He stared at Lu Li, face filled with horror; his full stimulation of the secret technique had, incredibly, failed to overcome Lu Li, causing a turbulent surge within him.

This power was already incredibly close to that of a person on the Heavenly Ranking List!

The bystanders stood frozen, feeling very apprehensive.

They had just attempted to gang up on Lu Li, akin to courting death!

With the strength of a person on the Heavenly Ranking List, he could easily sweep them away, as one could tell from how people treated Duan Muxi.

From a distance, Yin Qian’s face turned numb with shock, and then she immediately used an Escape Skill to flee backwards, disappearing from the spot within a few breaths.

She had completely given up on the Spirit Pill, as her strength was nowhere near sufficient to compete.

At this moment, after taking the blow, Lu Li had a clear understanding of his own strength.
