Chapter 321 Li Zun (2)
Li Zun single-handedly faced tens of thousands of geniuses from various races. This was his pride as the number one power in the Southern Region, the Heavenly Vein Sect, and also his responsibility to protect the geniuses of the Southern Region.
"A duel, I like it." The creature that spoke had wings as deep as the night, and its eyes were bloodshot, like a ghost in the dark.
The Vampire Sparrow, one of the most powerful races in the Cangyuan Realm, is also the mortal enemy of the human race. It can fly freely in the dark, silently approach its prey, and suck its essence to strengthen itself.
The Nether Serpent and the Vampire Sparrow, who should have been enemies, are now both thinking of challenging Li Zun.
"Two against one, shameless! I, Tiger You, will fight you!" Tiger You roared, flying to Li Zun's side and standing side by side with him.
Li Zun's heart tightened, then he smiled and said, "You Tiger, I, the second-ranked Dragon Transformation Realm expert in the Southern Region, haven't fallen yet. You don't need to rush to make a move."
Uh… You Laohu was completely taken aback by Li Zun’s sudden flattery and snorted, “Li Zun, they want to fight two against one.”
"Haha, I, a genius from the Southern Region, am going to face the prodigies of all races alone. If they want to fight me two against one, what do I, Li Zun, have to fear?"
Sure enough, upon hearing Li Zun's words, the Vampire Sparrow and the Nether Serpent Demon snorted and retreated back into the group, neither of them deigning to fight two against one.
"You stinky man, with a great battle imminent, come down and chat with me." Ye Lanshuang said with a coquettish smile, as her three-colored ribbons flew out and pulled You Laohu to her side, speaking coldly.
"You idiot, Li Zun is playing delaying tactics. You're ruining his plans. Don't blame us for killing your Nan Ye Ji Sect first to save everyone's lives."
Yu Laohu was sweating profusely. It wasn't that he was afraid of Ye Lanshuang, but he only just realized that Li Zun was playing a delaying tactic, trying to stall for three days.
The lives of over nine hundred people depend on whether these five can withstand the challenges posed by the various demons and monsters.
Looking around the perimeter, there were already tens of thousands of people, and other races were still arriving from afar. Li Zun's killing of Hu Meng of the Mountain Tiger Clan with a single punch had indeed shocked some of the creatures, but many more monstrous geniuses were eager to challenge Li Zun.
Geniuses are never afraid of one-on-one battles. They have an invincible belief that they are unmatched in their own realm, which allows them to face hardships without fear, to fight against heaven, earth, and themselves, and ultimately to forge their own invincible path.
"No one else is going up? Then I, Mingyi, will do it." In the end, it was Mingyi, the genius of the Winged Serpent Clan, who stepped forward to fight. He felt very ashamed that Tiger's Roar had knocked several of his clansmen down from the sky, so he wanted to be the first to stand up and get revenge.
Mingyi has six wings on his back, a manifestation of the peak of the Demon Transformation Realm, equivalent to the Dragon Transformation Realm in humans. He is a genius among the Winged Serpent Clan and the strongest in his region. Even if Li Zun kills Hu Meng with a single punch, he is not afraid to fight.
Li Zun stood in the air and extended his right hand: "Fellow Daoist, please."
With a whoosh, the Darkwing vanished from its spot, and a gigantic six-winged serpent appeared in the sky. Its scarlet eyes, two-meter-long fangs, and gaping maw seemed capable of devouring everything in the world.
Li Zun faced the winged serpent head-on, showing neither joy nor anger; his eyes were fixed solely on the serpent battling him. If he were to die in battle, then the creatures that killed him could then challenge and kill everyone behind him, one by one.
Because he is the second strongest Dragon Shaping Realm expert in the Southern Region. If the first one doesn't appear, he is the strongest.
We must fight to the bitter end before our master arrives; we must not die.
Li Zun roared inwardly, his long hair flying wildly, and a giant dragon appeared behind him, hissing at the six-winged serpent.
"Dragon's Roar Shakes the Heavens Fist".
Li Zun drew the spiritual energy of heaven and earth into his body, and then communicated with the spirit of the Nine Heavens Divine Dragon through his mind. When he threw his fist, there were many shadows of fists, and the dragon roared in the nine heavens, which was deafening.
"Holy crap, that's strong." You Laohu looked at Li Zun in shock. If it were him facing that punch, he wouldn't have been able to withstand it.
"This human is indeed extraordinary, terrifyingly strong. He might actually be able to challenge all beings of his generation."
"He is known as the strongest Dragon Shaping Realm cultivator in the Southern Region, and he is also among the top Dragon Shaping Realm cultivators among humans. Otherwise, how could he dare to set up an arena and accept challenges all by himself?"
As soon as Li Zun began to throw a punch, his imposing presence intimidated the onlookers, and his power terrified them.
The Darkwing let out a shriek, and Li Zun felt a jolt in his brain, his ears and nose instantly bleeding. But his fist was completely unaffected, and he smashed it down on the Darkwing's snake head, shattering it instantly.
The giant dragon in the sky spewed its breath, extinguishing the venom of the six-winged serpent shadow in one gulp, crushing its head, and blasting its body apart with a single claw. Blood rained down from the sky, and Mingyi, the genius of the six-winged serpent clan, was also killed by Li Zun in a single move.
Li Zun's gaze swept around: "Who else?"
"Hehe, a human with maxed-out strength? I like it. It must taste delicious." The vampire sparrow flew into the air, its sharp beak and claws gleaming with a metallic light, its crimson eyes already eyeing Li Zun as food.
Li Zun took out a pill and put it in his mouth, swallowing it along with the blood, still unafraid.
"Daoyou, please."
This time, Li Zun unleashed eighteen punches, leaving three deep claw marks on his chest, and finally killed the Vampire Sparrow.
The challenge continues; everyone knows Li Zun is stalling for time, but no one cares.
A genius must be patient and unhurried. The two realms are full of opportunities, but slaying the strongest in one realm and devouring its fortune is a rare and precious chance.
Aside from people from backward regions like Feng Wuhen, the beings who come here, like the geniuses from the five major powers such as You Laohu and Li Zun, don't really care that much about the opportunities in the Twin Absolute Domains.
Take Li Zun for example. The Heavenly Vein Sect has all the necessary cultivation techniques, weapons, and elixirs. If he wants anything, Long Batian can find it for him. What more opportunity could he possibly need?
But the kind of one-on-one battles against geniuses from various races, like today, are the kind of fights he craves, and the fastest whetstone on his path to growth. If he wants this kind of life, Long Batian can provide it, because there are human border battlefields where he can fight demon geniuses every day.
Opportunities are something that ordinary people can only hope to encounter, not seek. For those at the top, opportunities arise when they come, and if no opportunities exist, they create them.
Zheng Qian stood atop the gate tower, the flags behind him fluttering in the wind.
At the horizon, countless beings surrounded the nine hundred people from the Southern Region, watching them like livestock awaiting slaughter, devoid of any emotion. Among these onlookers were even some humans, who coldly watched Li Zun accept challenge after challenge from demon geniuses.
"Li Zun, take a rest. Let me handle this battle." Dongfang Yifeng flew into the air with his sword in hand, ready to take over the fight from Li Zun.
"As long as I, the second-best in the Southern Region, am alive, no one is allowed to come out and fight me." Li Zun wiped the blood from the corner of his mouth. He had more than a dozen deep wounds on his body that exposed bone, and he was already on the verge of death.
He pulled out a handful of pills and put them in his mouth, finally restoring some color to Li Zun's pale face. He had accepted challenges from all living beings alone, and had already fought twelve battles, enough to make him stand out among all heroes.
However, Li Zun could not back down, because Long Batian had said: "As the number one power in the Southern Region, the Heavenly Vein Sect has not only honor but also responsibility. This time, as the leader of the Heavenly Vein Sect and the strongest in the Dragon Shaping Realm, you have not only honor but also responsibility to enter the Twin Absolute Domains. The task I give you is to bring as many people in as you can and bring them out as well."
Li Zun had promised Long Batian that he would bring everyone back safely. If death was inevitable, then let him be the first to die.
As for the thirty members of the Demon Radiance Sect killed by Zheng Qian, Li Zun didn't include them in the Southern Region. Daring to attack his master, they deserved to be killed. As a disciple and grand-disciple, it was already kind of him not to help; he couldn't possibly protect people like the Demon Radiance Sect who acted so wickedly and lacked any sense of the bigger picture.
A roar shook the heavens as a four-meter-tall mountain tiger king emerged, its majestic presence distorting the very air with flames surrounding it. Wherever it passed, all living beings bowed their heads in respect.
"Watching you insects fight is really boring. You killed my servant Hu Meng, so you do have some skill. If you can withstand three of my blows, I will spare your life."
"Who is this tiger, talking so arrogantly?"
"He is Annihilation, the strongest demon in the High Mountain Tiger Clan, who once killed three human experts in the Liquid Aperture Realm. Not to mention the Tiger Clan, there are few who can rival him among all the races."
Annihilation stared down at Li Zun. If Li Zun were at his peak, he would still have some apprehension. But now, with blood flowing from all seven orifices and wounds all over his body, Li Zun posed no threat to him.
Suddenly, Li Zun's pupils dilated, his eyes filled with divination. Then he laughed, a very happy laugh, and roared.
"The strongest Dragon Shaping Realm expert in the Southern Region, you have finally arrived."
