Chapter 17 Li Chang'an vs. Lei Wu
Lei Wu looked at the two of them and felt a little sentimental, but he wouldn't let such a small emotion delay his chance to fight.
Lei Wu let out a loud shout, his feet sinking into the ground.
He charged up his power in just a moment and then threw a punch.
Li Chang'an had already used the system to cultivate the Saint-level low-grade cultivation technique "Universal True Body" to the first level while traveling.
Now, his physique is far superior to that of cultivators like Lei Wu, who cultivate both body and technique at the Golden Core stage.
Li Chang'an then put his arm around Ning Hanruo with one hand, slowly raised his right arm, opened his palm, and appeared calm and collected.
Upon seeing this, Lei Wu was naturally furious.
"Arrogant brat!"
Li Chang'an shook his head and sighed.
"He actually dared to try to fight me, the sect leader, with his physical strength. What a barbarian!"
Immediately, Li Chang'an blocked Lei Wu's fist with his palm, and with a little force, sent Lei Wu flying.
Lei Wu's eyes widened in shock; he was stunned by the power Li Chang'an had displayed.
In mid-air, Lei Wu's astonishing core strength allowed him to quickly regain his footing, and he couldn't help but admire Li Chang'an as he pointed at him.
"What a physique! Li Chang'an, if you join me in killing that female demon, come to my Qinglan Sect. I can at least arrange an elder position for you."
"Whether it's Ren Haotian's death or the honor of the righteous path, I believe you can make a pragmatic choice."
Upon hearing this, Li Chang'an frowned and shook his head helplessly.
He sneered.
"Elder Lei, you probably can't see the current situation clearly."
He gently placed Ning Hanruo, whom he was holding in one arm, on the ground.
Ning Hanruo released her jade-like hand from Li Chang'an's chest and collar. Not wanting to interfere with Li Chang'an's battle, she leaned to the ground and let out a soft breath.
After settling Ning Hanruo in, Li Chang'an stared at Lei Wu, who was preparing to make another move.
After a brief standoff, he began to ponder in silence.
Now that Li Chang'an's strength has increased, if he can join forces with Lei Wu and Liu Yishui, they will surely be able to keep Su Moxue in the Qinglan Sect.
However, this would not solve the most pressing problem at present. If the Qinglan Sect, which possesses the child of destiny, is allowed to grow unchecked, it will only make the Cangyun Sect and the surrounding sects become nourishment or stepping stones for the Qinglan Sect.
However, if he kills Lei Wu, he will also have to destroy the Qinglan Sect, and his alliance with the Hehuan Sect will inevitably provoke the anger of the righteous path.
Li Chang'an had to choose a suitable method within this short period of time.
Li Chang'an's eyes narrowed, and he had already made up his mind.
He decisively attacked Lei Wu!
With the support of the "Universal True Body" body-refining technique, Li Chang'an's physical strength has now surpassed that of the peak Golden Core stage.
Seeing Li Chang'an attacking him, Lei Wu lost all faith in his abilities and cursed loudly.
"Stubborn to the end!"
Immediately, he gathered spiritual energy in front of his fist and smashed it towards Li Chang'an.
Li Chang'an neither dodged nor avoided, and threw a punch at Lei Wu's fist.
As their fists clashed, unsurprisingly, Li Chang'an punched Lei Wu's fist into a bloody mess, sending him flying.
As Lei Wu regained his footing in mid-air, Li Chang'an pointed at him, his voice filled with contempt, attempting to destroy Lei Wu's Dao heart.
"Cultivating both physical and mental techniques in a broad but shallow way will only lead you, a barbarian, to go astray in the end."
But how could Lei Wu's resolve be shaken by Li Chang'an's casual remark?
"Fuck you!"
"So, I'm saying you're not just a barbarian, but a barbarian whose ambitions don't match their abilities!"
Li Chang'an smiled.
Immediately, he moved again, and the Desert appeared in his hand, as if to deliver a thunderous blow to Lei Wu and severely injure him.
When Lei Wu saw the aura emanating from Li Chang'an, he recalled the feeling of his own body being crushed just now, and his body trembled instinctively.
"Sect Leader Li, is your true purpose in coming here to destroy the Qinglan Sect?"
On the ground, Ning Hanruo had recovered from her earlier shock. Although her clothes were tattered and she was slightly injured, it did not affect her ability to stand.
She took a step forward, her tone questioning yet accusatory.
Upon hearing the voice, Li Chang'an glanced at Ning Hanruo, who had already recovered, and exhaled a breath of stale air before replying.
"That's not the case!"
Li Chang'an's voice wasn't loud, but it was powerful.
Hearing Li Chang'an's words, even Lei Wu was completely dumbfounded.
He was quite puzzled.
"Is this Cangyun Sect Master an idiot? Is he willing to be the Hehuan Sect's dog? What a waste of his strength and talent."
Seeing Lei Wu's puzzled expression, Li Chang'an curled his lips, pointed his longsword, Desert, at Lei Wu, and said mockingly.
"Tell me your last words!"
"I will make preparations for your funeral."
However, Lei Wu was not angered by Li Chang'an at this moment; all that remained in his heart was deep fear.
His cultivation was hard-earned, so naturally he was afraid of dying. But if he were to die so inexplicably, how could Lei Wu be willing to accept it?
Lei Wu took out a pill from his storage ring and quickly swallowed it. His spiritual power surged instantly.
"Li Chang'an, very good, you've forced me to this point."
The pill he swallowed was entirely red, with three lines and a Taotie (a mythical beast) engraving in the center.
Li Chang'an had also seen or heard about it.
This pill is a third-tier Berserk Pill, which can increase the strength of a Golden Core cultivator by 30%. However, after using it, the body will enter a six-month period of weakness, and the overall strength will decline to half of its original level.
However, judging from the pills Lei Wu took, the Berserk Pill in his hand was at least a mid-grade third-tier pill, and its power was stronger than that of an ordinary third-tier Berserk Pill.
After Lei Wu finished using the pill, he shouted loudly.
""The Wild God's Heaven Refining Palm""
It was "The Desolate God's Heaven-Refining Palm" again. Li Chang'an looked disdainfully at the giant palm gathering in the sky, and with a movement, he instantly appeared in front of Lei Wu.
"Barbarian, if I get close, aren't you going to explode?"
He immediately threw a punch at Lei Wu, who reacted quickly and shouted again.
"Ancient Elephant Boxing"
Lei Wu's fist, like a stampeding mammoth, once again clashed with Li Chang'an's.
"The name and its imposing presence are certainly impressive, but..."
Li Chang'an's muscles trembled slightly. In a moment, he used the fusion universe property of the "Universal True Body" to integrate his body into the entire Godfall Continent.
However, he only cultivated to the first level of the "Universal True Body," and the time he spent merging with it was short, barely exceeding half a minute.
That was enough. Li Chang'an disappeared and reappeared behind Lei Wu, throwing a punch at him.
But Lei Wu reacted quickly, using the momentum of his punch to continue his attack. His intention was clear: to escape!
How could Li Chang'an let him escape? He transformed into a streak of lightning and gave chase.
At that moment, Lei Wu's giant palm crashed down from the sky.
"Fight me? In your next life!"
"I respect you as a rare talent, so I'll let you go this time!"
But just as Lei Wu finished speaking, a sword strike, gathering spiritual energy, arrived in front of him with lightning speed.
