Chapter 136: Battling a Foundation Establishment Cultivator (1/2)

The movement technique that Jiang Li cultivated had always existed for the sake of better controlling the speed of Armored Horse Divine Travel.

Now that he used it, Jiang Li really transformed into a stream of light that pounced towards his opponent.

Clang!

Amidst the tearing sound, the fist wrapped in chains collided fiercely with the opponent's crimson saber.

Instantly, flames erupted.

Jiang Li's fist was firmly blocked by the terrifying spiritual qi saber. It poured forward with a tremendous force, but it still failed to succeed in front of the saber.

His opponent was not a body cultivator, and even his Foundation Establishment strength was still suppressed by Jiang Li.

However, not only was the other party at the Foundation Establishment realm, but he was also one of the top experts among the Foundation Establishment disciples.

With the support of powerful spiritual qi, the difference in physical strength was still unable to crush the other party.

Under the effect of the other party's Dao Foundation and the eruption of an even higher quality spiritual qi, Jiang Li's terrifying fist force was completely nullified. Then, he waved his saber, holding Jiang Li's fist and drawing it to the side.

Since this law-enforcement disciple was able to enter the top 11, he naturally could not be weak. He assessed Jiang Li's punches and discovered that his move had more force than technique. His punch did not leave any room to maneuver, so he used the power diversion technique to make Jiang Li lose his center of gravity.

Sure enough, with this maneuver, Jiang Li's fist immediately lost its direction, and it brushed past his side before crashing into the arena. The terrifying force of the fist plowed out a long gorge in front of him.

Taking advantage of Jiang Li's unstable footing, a wisp of blade light attacked Jiang Li's back the next moment.

The blade light was sharp and fierce, and once he was struck by it, he would be unable to use the defense of the Overlord Body Art while attacking. At that time, even with Jiang Li's physique, there would still be a hole in his back.

Boom!

The blade light struck the ground, and the blazing flames broke a large amount of bricks, causing the floating platform to become even more damaged.

However, such a powerful strike was unable to hit Jiang Li.

When the flames dissipated, Jiang Li's current figure was like a swimming snake as he twisted at an enormous angle to the side, avoiding the slash in a split second.

This was the flexible joint given to him by the Dragon Tortoise Blood Tattoo. Although it was not displayed on the interface, this small ability could still play a huge role at the critical moment.

Seeing that his attack did not hit, the Foundation Establishment disciple raised his saber and slashed again.

However, Jiang Li, who had already recovered and adjusted his state, was not afraid in the slightest. He faced the continuous blade lights and smashed out countless fist shadows.

In an instant, the two clashed, resulting in a rain of metal collision sounds.

The crimson saber and Jiang Li's rapidly brandishing fists were so concentrated that only afterimages could be seen.

They tried to counter speed with even more speed. The explosive spiritual qi spread out like waves with the two of them as the center.

The area under their feet was enduring heavy pressure as spiderweb-like cracks quickly spread out.

This was originally a ring prepared for the battle between Qi Refinement realm disciples. The quality and durability were lacking.

Under the impact of the waves of higher and higher spiritual qi, the strengthened stone slab on the surface was lifted up like a piece of paper, and next was the more fragile stone base below.

This was not like a battle between a saber and a fist. It was more like two hurricanes that had met and were fighting for authority.

In the battle, Jiang Li's strength was slightly stronger. The Dragon Imprisoning Lock that was wrapped around his fists was also indestructible.

However, the spiritual qi quality of Foundation Establishment realm disciple was even higher. As he waved his hands, saber lights and flames covered the sky and earth.

For a time, the ferocious attacks were evenly matched.

Swoosh!

Jiang Li's fist shattered a blade light, but the shattered sharp qi still drew shallow blood traces on his face.

From time to time, there would be a few stinging scratches on his body, but they would quickly disappear with the help of several healing effects.

In this moment of continuous and intense attacks, Jiang Li felt an unprecedented pressure.

Before the constantly dissipating Foundation Establishment spirit fire, even if Jiang Li had a certain degree of fire resistance, he was still baked by the high temperature until his mouth was dry and his hair curled.

The high temperature increased the intensity of his movement. Large beads of sweat constantly appeared on his body, but they would immediately evaporate under the high temperature, only forming thick white frost on his body.

While Jiang Li felt uncomfortable, the Foundation Establishment realm law-enforcement disciple on the other side also felt terrible.

Jiang Li's fist was so powerful that he did not expect it. The saber in his hand collided with the fist consecutively. Not only did he not gain the slightest advantage, he was instead repelled by the enormous force until his palm split open and his arm went numb.

It was clearly a single-handed blade, but he was now holding it with both hands. Moreover, the soreness and numbness coming from his arms made him nearly drop the blade several times.

Now, he seriously suspected that this junior brother was not human, how could a human really have such exaggerated brute force?!

This was different from the usual practice sparring with his fellow disciples. At this moment, both sides were already fighting seriously. If he was not careful, he might be heavily injured.

At the edge of the stage, an elder was already floating in the air. If anything happened, he would immediately save them.

Bang!

Right at this moment, the ground beneath Jiang Li's feet suddenly collapsed. Instantly, there was a slight imbalance, causing his movements to involuntarily slow down. A gap appeared in the net of fist shadows that he was brandishing.

When the law-enforcement disciple saw the gap, his eyes immediately lit up. Flames wrapped around the saber, and he directly slashed at the exposed gap.

Jiang Li was shocked when he saw this, yet it was already slightly too late to resist!

He immediately made up his mind. As the Wood Armor Technique covered his entire body, he circulated his Overlord Body Art at full force. Then, he controlled the power of the Armored Horse Divine Travel together and ruthlessly collided with his opponent.

The saber first came into contact with the wooden armor. Fire attribute spiritual qi was the key to subduing wood. Coupled with the fact that the quality of the wood armor technique was very low, even if Jiang Li used his spiritual qi that was higher than his cultivation level, it would still be broken in an instant.

However, in this short period of time, Jiang Li's entire body suddenly seemed as if it was made of solid copper, and it became motionless.

Pew!

The crimson saber slashed onto Jiang Li's shoulder, and the sharp edge still broke through his skin. The scorching saber began to burn his flesh.

However, the expression of that Foundation Establishment law-enforcement disciple changed in an instant. His saber had only entered the flesh for an inch before it stopped moving.

Under the effect of the Overlord Body Art, Jiang Li focused all of his strength at that spot and blocked the saber.

In the next moment, a cold smile appeared on Jiang Li's face. A huge momentum suddenly erupted from his feet, and his entire body shot out, directly colliding with the body of the Foundation Establishment law-enforcement disciple who was a foot away.

At the instant of collision, Jiang Li's body still maintained the toughness of the Overlord Body Art. Under the collision, the figure of the law-enforcement disciple's body was overlapped by Jiang Li's.

He only felt that his internal organs were all shifting and entangled. Every part of his body hurt.

Then, he flew out.

That law-enforcement disciple was sent flying far away. He rolled for a long time before finally stopping.

Only then did Jiang Li undo the Overlord Body Art. He held the burning area on his shoulder, grimacing in pain.

He released the chain in his hand and grabbed one end of the Dragon Imprisoning Lock. He used it as a whip and threw it at the other party.

If he did not deal the finishing blow now, when would he have another chance?

However, as expected, a few saber flashes flew out and struck the Dragon Imprisoning Lock again. The other party still had the strength to counterattack!

Foundation Establishment cultivators had their Dao Foundation. Even if they did not cultivate their bodies, their bodies were superior to Qi Refinement realm disciples.

When he was struck by Jiang Li, he only broke a few bones and bled a few hundred milliliters of blood. His spiritual qi and internal breath were in chaos, and his Dao Foundation was slightly damaged… only.

However, from the few saber qi he brandished, it was clearly much weaker than before.
