CHAPTER 546: CHAPTER 233 DEFEATED_2

"Haha, that kid Li Xiu must be regretting his decision now, but it’s too late. Trading his life for Jing Li’s supernatural invincibility—who knows if this deal is a loss or a gain?" the Old Undying laughed.

"It’s hard to say. Such a Magic Armor Master is a rare occurrence in a millennium. If he’s killed, it’s a tremendous loss for our Longevity City... Should we intervene to stop this battle from continuing?" Mo Wuya hesitated.

"It’s already too late," the Old Undying shook his head.

On the battlefield, the light energy fluctuations from Jing Li’s body erupted like a volcano, even Li Qingyi and others standing on the mountain’s edge were shocked by the light energy waves.

"What terrifying light energy... Is this really the light energy fluctuation in the Super Spirit State?" Li Qingyi and others looked at Jing Li in stunned disbelief.

Jing Li was staring intently at Li Xiu and said fiercely, "As repayment to you, I will send you off with this saber. In dedication to you, I’ll call this strike ’Farewell.’

With that, Jing Li raised his Ghost Light Saber with both hands and suddenly slashed down like an executioner delivering a beheading.

This saber strike was fast but carried a sense of weight; although it was swift, it was clear enough for everyone to see, making it seem as if anyone could dodge it.

Yet despite being visible, one felt as if their body was bound, unable to move, as if shackled like a condemned person, or entangled by a resentful spirit, unable to evade, only able to watch helplessly as the saber fell.

Anyone who truly understood this strike knew that in fact, it wasn’t the body being restrained, but the saber’s extraordinary speed.

It was so fast that the body couldn’t keep up with the brain’s reaction, so despite seeing it, one felt as though the body was being constrained, unable to dodge.

"Li Xiu... it’s over..." Li Qingyi wanted to close her eyes, unwilling to witness the moment Li Xiu was decapitated, but Jing Li’s saber was so fast she couldn’t even close her eyes, only watching helplessly as if time had paused, everything frozen except for Jing Li’s saber falling.

Li Xiu stood there motionless, the saber with its shocking saber flare about to slice diagonally onto his neck.

Suddenly, everyone saw Li Xiu’s body move, in that seemingly time-frozen high-speed moment, Li Xiu’s body quickly moved.

It was like a super sports car speeding by, leaving all other vehicles far behind as if they were stationary, but then another vehicle traveled by even faster, surpassing the super sports car, making the latter appear stationary.

More terrifyingly, the vehicle overtaking the super sports car was actually a big truck.

On Li Xiu’s body, the Furnace Guardian had entirely transformed into a radiant crimson state, the intense light energy illuminating the originally iron-like Demon Armor completely.

Jing Li’s saber, despite being heavy, was ultimately just a saber; compared to Li Xiu’s body clad in Demon Armor, it was like a small sports car.

Li Xiu’s entire speed surpassed that of the saber, like a heavy truck surpassing a super sports car, providing an unparalleled visual impact.

In front of Li Xiu, the seemingly impossibly fast saber in Jing Li’s hand appeared to be frozen.

Li Xiu’s body, like that of a Flame Demon God, passed by Jing Li’s saber, almost standing face to face with Jing Li, in his incredible expression, one hand grabbed the back of the saber, the other pressed on Jing Li’s chest directly blasting him flying backwards.

Bang!

Jing Li’s body flew back dozens of meters, crashing against the Beast Gate, spewing blood from his mouth, eyes constricting intensely, focusing on Li Xiu who stood gripping the Ghost Light Saber with one hand, full of disbelief, sliding down from the gate, heavily sitting on the ground, momentarily unable to react, just sitting there staring dazedly at Li Xiu.

Everyone’s expressions mirrored Jing Li’s, all wide-eyed staring fixedly at the demonic-like figure.

Even the Old Undying and Mo Wuya were speechless.

"Do you want to continue?" Li Xiu walked up before Jing Li, handing the saber over to him again and asked.

"I’ve... lost..." Jing Li closed his eyes, appearing pained yet relieved.

This battle shocked all of Longevity City.

The Magic Armor Master defeated the nearly Super Spirit pinnacle Jing Li, which wasn’t just about defeating one Jing Li, but rather that the Magic Armor Master’s profession would be reassessed.

"Is the peak combat power of a Magic Armor Master truly inferior to a Trial Taker?" Many who previously firmly believed this now found a question mark in their hearts.

At least at the super spirit stage, there is already a Magic Armor Master capable of defeating the top Trial Taker.

Lei Qingfeng and Qiu Tianyu, among a group of Magic Armor Masters, walking down the streets of Longevity City, felt their outlook lifted compared to before.

It might be an illusion, those Trial Takers who used to seem quite tall today appear smaller.

As they walked, their heads naturally lifted high, their spirits elated.

"What counts as a Trial Taker? I’m a Magic Armor Master!" How many years had it been since such thoughts emerged in these Magic Armor Masters’ minds.

This sensation was new and thrilling, an utterly wonderful feeling never experienced before.
