Chapter 427: The Lesson of Arrogance

even further, allowing him to feel it more clearly.Let me know if you have any other text you'd like translated!This Fire attribute Nascent Soul cultivator's actions were truly fearsome. The overwhel...With a clang, like metal striking stone. 。Xun Xiu made up his mind. Since things had come to this, he was like an arrow already shot; there was no turning back. He could only bite the bullet and continue fighting. Even with all his careful planning, he wasn't Lu Xiaoteng's match. By the time Lu Xiaoteng came to his senses, there was no room for resistance. 。Besides the dantian's killing blow, the strike aimed at the heart, if landed successfully, also has a chance of turning the tide. 。In fact, Lu Xiaotian couldn't dodge Xun Xiu's two attacks simultaneously. Xun Xiu's strength was definitely not weak. Even among the Foundation Establishment late-stage cultivators he had fought before, his strength might not be the strongest, but he was definitely one of the most bizarre. Moreover, his scheming depth far exceeded Lu Xiaotian's expectations. 。However, up close, Lu Xiaoteng's explosive power was still extremely terrifying. He couldn't completely avoid Xun Xiu's attack, but he could avoid the vital points. While Xun Xiu struck towards his heart, Lu Xiaoteng shifted his body slightly by a few inches 。With a loud bang, Xun Xiu's strike landed on Lu Xiao's chest. 。Like hitting an unbreakable rock, no, even harder than a rock by several degrees. 。“Sixth Stage Body Refinement!” Xun Xiu’s eyes flashed with a hint of horror. He knew very well the power of his attack. An ordinary Foundation Establishment cultivator hit by this blow would be enough to shatter their bones. Even if he wasn't directly hitting a vital point, being this close to the heart, that immense shock could easily injure one's internal organs. 。But there was no change in Lu XiaTian's expression. 。This resilience is astonishing. 。Besides the incredibly powerful defensive artifact he wore, his own strength was more important. 。"This is your secret weapon, isn't it Unfortunately, it's still lacking a bit of refinement." 。Lu Xia Tian shook off Xun Xiu's hands and kicked him hard in the stomach with his foot. 。Xun Xiu's body was as soft as boneless, twisting her waist to dodge Lu Xiaotiao's powerful strike. She retaliated with a whip kick aimed at Lu Xiaotiao's waist. As the whip leg came out, there was a crackle in the air. 。Lu Xia Tian calmly blocked the kick, seeing the menacing Crack Earth Blade beside him. Xun Xiu didn't know that while Lu Xia Tian was fighting him, he could also single-mindedly control this Dan Yuan magic weapon. 。Where else could he dare to distance himself from Lu Xiaotian, engaging in close-quarters combat Using his body as a weapon was his forte; even that couldn't land a blow on Lu Xiaotian. Distancing himself would be tantamount to seeking death. 。Xun Xiu at this moment was like a giant venomous snake, clinging to Lu Xia Tian relentlessly. 。Lu Xia Tian's heart flared with anger. His strength was greater than Xun Xiu's, and his resilience was even stronger, but Xun Xiu's fighting techniques in close combat were clearly a notch above his. 。This feeling is somewhat similar to the one I had when I fought that silver-armored woman from the Kua tribe. 。His magical powers combined with his physical strength were also superior to the silver-armored woman by a notch, but in their wrestling match, he still couldn't subdue her. 。The woman in silver armor not only had powerful gun intent, but her marksmanship was also incredibly refined and skillful. 。< > But Xun Xiu took the other extreme, focusing on close-combat martial arts. < > 。However, Lu Xia Tian soon found a way to counter his opponent's attacks during their exchange. His opponent's breath was not as long as his own, and with his current physical strength and magical power, he could withstand far more attacks than the other party. 。Since he had this realization, Lu Xia Tian didn't completely dodge Xun Xiu's attacks. As long as they didn't directly hit vital points, Lu Xia Tian wouldn't dodge or evade, directly enduring the blow, and then punched or kicked towards the opponent's vital point. 。For Lu Xiaotian's sudden change in fighting style, Xun Xiu was also caught off guard. Lu Xiaotian's attack speed was too fast, and sometimes he couldn't dodge it in time. Even if he wasn't hit by the vital part, with his strength, he would feel a sharp pain once. 。However, Xun Xiu was ultimately the superior combatant in close-quarters fighting. In perilous situations, she always managed to narrowly dodge 。

Bang bang bang, the two people's fists and feet were like lightning, coming and going. Xun Xiu struck Lu Xiaoteng more than ten times, narrowly dodging Lu Xiaoteng's attacks time after time. Although he successfully dodged, repeatedly using secret techniques made Xun Xiu's consumption not ordinary.

With a resounding bang, Lu Xiaoteng's knee struck Xun Xiu in the stomach with lightning speed. Xun Xiu let out a scream, his body flying backwards like a bullet.

Lu Xiaoteng rushed forward like a cheetah, grabbing Xun Xiu's leg and swinging his not-very-strong body against a thick tree. 。 。Lu Xiaoxian's face was icy as she repeatedly beat Xun Xiu, throwing him aside when he was no longer human. 。

With a casual flick of his wrist, Lu Xia Tian pocketed the money and Xun Xiu's storage bag. He tossed Xun Xiu's broken body aside like trash. As for Xun Xiu's escaping primordial spirit, Lu Xia Tian trapped it with a tightly woven lightning net conjured by his finger, causing it to scream several times before dissolving into ash.

Their bodies were also incinerated by him using fire magic. 。Lu Xiaoteng wiped the blood from his mouth and, without any hesitation, rushed in the direction where Luo Qing and the Feiqi tribe were fighting. 。The scene of his sparring with Xun Xiu just now replayed in his mind like a movie. This battle was one of the most dangerous he had ever fought. 。Many times Xun Xiu's attacks aimed at him, were also when he caught a whiff of death. 。It has to be said, Xun Xiu's close-combat skills are truly formidable, and his methods are incredibly unorthodox. 。If he were not far superior in skill, he would have almost been defeated by his opponent in this close-quarters duel. 。Even so, he was struck by Xun Xiu dozens of times. If not for his own strength, any other cultivator would have fallen in eight or nine out of ten cases. He would likely have been killed outright. 。It seems that Xun Xiu's experience is not simple either. He was just an ordinary cultivator at the mid-stage of foundation building before, but in just a few years, he has grown to such a terrifying level. 。Lu Xiaitian wiped the blood from the corner of his mouth. He had to admit, he was a little too confident. Since breaking through to the tenth level of Qi Foundation, his strength had greatly increased, and coupled with the power of a sixth-level peak body cultivator, he couldn't help but feel that no one below the Golden Core stage could match him. 。The world of cultivators is vast, and those who have experienced extraordinary encounters are often beyond comprehension. Moreover, sometimes the decision to live or die is not solely determined by individual strength. The timing of the attack and the mental game between both parties can significantly alter the balance of power. His life-or-death struggle with Xun Xiu was a perfect example of this. Xun Xiu's advantage in close-quarters combat was fully utilized, while Lu Xiaoteng re-evaluated himself and realized that he was inferior to Xun Xiu, who specialized in physical cultivation, in close-range combat. In mid-to-close range, he was also outmatched by the silver-armored female cultivator, as well as Miao Tian, who cultivated the Yanmo Demon Sword... 。He can use the Fire Dragon Bow to suppress opponents of the same rank from a distance. 。

But once his archery met with a master archer, it too could easily fall short.

However, Lu Xia Tian could only smile wryly. He was considered to have a strong overall combat strength and no obvious weaknesses. 。Otherwise, he would be slightly weaker in close combat, and today he was beaten by Xun Xiu. 。In fact, Xun Xiu was hit many times by him, but from beginning to end, Lu Xia Tian only hit Xun Xiu once. Given Xun Xiu's strength and defense, for Lu Xia Tian, hitting Xun Xiu once meant the end of his life. 。Through his fight with Xunxiu, Lu Xia Tian also reflected on his own shortcomings. He put away the arrogance that had grown in his heart since he stepped into the tenth level of Qi Refining. 。Even when a lion fights a rabbit, it uses all its strength. How much more so when facing enemies in the world of cultivation who are cunning and ferocious hundreds of times over! 。If he didn't get too close to Xun Xiu at the beginning, even without the Bing Po Xuan Yin, with his strength, it wouldn't take much effort to deal with Xun Xiu. He wouldn't have to be injured like this now. 。Getting close to Xun Xiu in a fight is like using one's weaknesses to challenge Xun Xiu's strengths. 。ic to expect a sudden and drastic improvement. He counted through some of the belongings left behind by the Ghost Kings, only to be disappointed. There wasn't anything he could use, they were all ite...
