Chapter 783: Yousve Encountered A Steel Wall (2/2)
”Confidence.” Feng Huang said calmly. ”There’s no need to talk about how Wu Li is one of the Three Great Immortal Kings of Cosmos Edge. In fact, I believe that Wu Li is the number one ImmortalKing. And who he is, is far from the arrogant and violent person that he portrays himself to be. You see, every time he challenges a person to discuss the dao, he did it for a reason. Every time he succeeds, his talent and confidence rises another level. Not only that, he has such a huge reputation within Cosmos Edge.
Over these years, I have never seen a person from the Gods Race support Wu Li. Even so, Wu Li was still able to do as he pleases. This is shows that he, Wu Li, was the strongest in the Gods Race, and in Cosmos Edge. Clearly, Wu Li would hold immense popularity if there was ever a power struggle in Cosmos Edge.”
”That Mo Wuji is here…” Feng Huang also took a sip of his wine. He continued, ”The reason why Wu Li dares to challenge Mo Wuji is because he believes that he is also capable to vanquiishing early stage Immortal Emperors, and that he is undefeatable among those in the same stage. Moreover, those years ago, Mo Wuji had killed Ou Zhaohe and Ling Rong with his killing array. This probably wasn’t even placed in Wu Li’s eyes. Unfortunately, Wu Li had indeed met the wrong person this time.”
…
Feng Huang and Ji Ku knew about Mo Wuji’s origins, as well as what Mo Wuji had done. However, many people in Heaven’s Beyond Dao Plaza did not know about that.
At this instant, Wu Li was standing atop the Dao Discussion Stage with his hands behind his back. In what way did he look enraged and arrogant? He looked like a peaceful man appreciating the beauty of a setting sun.
”That fella probably doesn’t dare to come, right? Otherwise, why isn’t he here yet?”
”He’s just another fool. There’s no lack of fools here in Cosmos Edge.”
”Senior Wu Li is truly too strong. Even though his dao discussions all end very quickly, I was always able to feel his powerful dao aura.”
”That’s for sure. Actually, I’m surprised that they didn’t provide a handicap?”
”That person is here…”
The news of Mo Wuji’s arrival spread rapidly. Soon, the entire Heaven’s Beyond Dao Plaza went silent. Everyone’s eyes shifted to Mo Wuji. As for Yue Yanrong, who was behind Mo Wuji, she had been disregarded.
Yan Yuerong had hidden water-type spiritual roots. In the eyes of all these spectators, Mo Wuji was going to be easily killed by Wu Li, and Yan Yuerong would eventually end up in Wu Li’s hands.
”Junior Sister Yuerong, wait for me here. I will discuss the dao and return soon.” As Mo Wuji walked over, the crowd consciously formed a path for him.
Yan Yuerong inhaled deeply. Thereafter, she stared at Mo Wuji resolutely and said, ”Big Brother Da Huang, go on. I will wait for you here. I am not afraid.”
Mo Wuji nodded. With a single step, he went up the Dao Discussion Stage and landed in front of Wu Li.
In his heart, Mo Wuji was sighing with emotion. Ever since he started cultivation, he had always been fighting against opponents that had a higher cultivation than him. Today was actually his first time challenging a fella with a lower cultivation. From the looks of it, this fella was brimming with self-confidence. This fella actually challenged a peak Immortal Reverent despite only being at the early Immortal Reverent Stage.
”If you are in the Immortal Emperor Stage, perhaps you would have some chance of matching me. Unfortunately, you aren’t very smart.” Wu Li spoke to Mo Wuji in a warm and calm tone. He did not have the same arrogance as he did back during the auction.
Mo Wuji was utterly exasperated when he heard these words. To be honest, he had never lost against any other cultivator in the same stage. The person that was closest to him was Lei Hongji. Back then, the two of them were Great Circle Grand Luo Immortals and their battle resulted in Lei Hongji fleeing. So who exactly gave this Wu Li his confidence.
Wu Li said calmly, ”Cultivators at the same stage as me have never been able to walk out of the Dao Discussion Stage alive…”
Mo Wuji couldn’t be bothered to banter with this fella. His Half Moon Weighted Halberd formed a crescent arc in mid air and landed in his hands. He said coldly, ”Banter can wait till you reach the Circle of Reincarnation. Half a year ago, Sister Xiaoyu perished here. Today, I will take revenge for Sister Xiaoyu…”
A faint killing intent swept outwards. At this moment, Wu Li also took half a step forward, bursting forth with his domain. At this instant, the entire Dao Discussion Stage felt suffocating. So what if Mo Wuji could transcend realms and kill early stage Immortal Emperors? He, Wu Li, had just advanced to the early Immortal Reverent Stage. He was also able to kill early stage Immortal Emperors.
Wu Li brought out a huge, gold stamp. In an instant, it covered the entire Dao Discussion Stage.
Mo Wuji slashed his halberd, using his second move of his Four Halberd Strikes, Winding River. After twenty years of secluded cultivation, Mo Wuji’s insights towards Grand Desert, Winding River, and Setting Sun were no longer as uneven as before.
Now, his Four Halberd Strikes had become a chain sacred art. His first strike, Grand Desert, could transform into millions and millions of array flags.
However, facing an early stage Immortal Reverent like Wu Li, Mo Wuji really couldn’t be bothered to go serious. Millions and millions of array flags? This Wu Li was truly overestimating himself. If not because Mo Wuji knew that Wu Li definitely wasn’t simple, he wouldn’t even have used his Winding River.
The silver Winding River cascaded down from mid air. In an instant, it filled the entire stage with a deadly white waterfall of killing intent.
The pressure from Wu Li’s domain instantly dissappeared as the killing intent surrounded Wu Li. Wu Li’s face changed. This was the first time that he had been too careless. This Mo Wuji definitely wasn’t only capable of killing early stage Immortal Emperors; he could probably slaughter Grand Emperors as well.
In merely half an exchange, Wu Li knew that he had met with a steel wall. Even if he used all his methods, he wouldn’t be an opponent for Mo Wuji.
