Chapter 901: Chapter 413: Qi Vest Shockwave, Blade of Flame Might, Merit and Reward, Gold Chief Candidate!_2

The eyeball flew into the sky, yet it could still see.

The Yellow Demon looked down from above, seeing a street to the east bustling with people, separated only by a narrow alley. He gave a cruel smile and charged toward the crowd, eager for a massacre.

Such a ferocious and wicked person was indeed rare.

As the Yellow Demon moved, he suddenly heard the sound of a wind at his ear. He quickly sidestepped, catching a glimpse of a masked man making a move. The Yellow Demon shifted his footwork and turned around with a move called "Heart-Breaking Bone-Shaking Palm."

Li Xian’s Dubhe Saber Technique flowed smoothly like clouds and water. Missing the first strike, he immediately retracted his saber in defense, executing a move called "Horizontal Jade in Front" to block. The Yellow Demon rejoiced inwardly, having seen this sword technique before. He thought, "The fool who used this move before me last time was severely beaten by me—heh, that old face can’t be worn anymore. Kid, your fate will be worse!"

The Heart-Breaking Bone-Shaking Palm struck the saber. The Tiger Blade trembled suddenly, emitting a resonant "clang." The Yellow Demon’s palm force surged as he pressed aggressively forward. Li Xian’s saber vibrated with qi, the two forces evenly matched.

The Yellow Demon sensed that Li Xian’s inner qi was formidable, his realm extraordinary, and his martial arts impressive. Although the same move, "Horizontal Jade in Front," the gap between the two instances was vast. The first was full of flaws, poorly coordinated, only exuding youthful vigor and aggression. The latter was serene as a deep sea, capable of dealing with myriad changes without altering form, with profound inner qi and deeper martial arts evolution.

Even when exerting full strength, the Yellow Demon could not force Li Xian back a single step. Yet the Yellow Demon had a premonition that any change in moves would be easily countered by Li Xian.

In an instant, two streams of inner qi clashed. The Yellow Demon expended more than ten zhang of inner qi, while Li Xian lost nearly ten zhang of his. The Yellow Demon thought, "This kid is a master. I will continue to withstand him and gauge his capabilities." Inner qi surged wildly, the murderous intent in his palm growing intense.

No matter how much he tried to inject, Li Xian could take it. With their inner qi clashing, and the evolution of martial arts countering each other, the alley walls were scoured, while piles of baskets and miscellaneous items were pushed out of the alley with a "rumble."

The Yellow Demon suddenly felt a scorching heat in his palm, white smoke sizzling out.

The Tiger Blade suddenly burst into "raging flames." The Yellow Demon immediately retreated, his palms already burned, sending waves of intense pain. Li Xian infused his intent, drawing out his Heart Fire, which attached to the blade.

The entire saber glowed with bright flames.

This place lay within a narrow alley. Just now, the Gold Appraisal Guard had cleared the crowd within a hundred zhang while pursuing the villain. This street was now empty and deserted.

Li Xian stood blocking the road, neither excited nor fearful. Seeing the Yellow Demon fleeing, he knew calling the Gold Appraisal Guard to form an encirclement was too late, hence taking the lead himself to confront the Yellow Demon alone.

Li Xian gently waved his horizontal saber, observing closely, adjusting his posture. Wherever the blade swept, the fire raged, filling the entire alley with blazing light.

The Yellow Demon glanced at the raging flames within the saber and said, "Good kid, you have some skills." A dense red fluff emerged from his paws, defying defeat. His steps firm, he charged ferociously. His move "Red Fluff Floating Kill Claw" was formidable.

Once it wounded an opponent, the red fluff would stick between skin and flesh, extremely difficult to remove. It was like countless poison needles embedded in the flesh, very fine. Only by cutting away the whole piece of flesh could the red fluff be eradicated.

He struck with a claw, aiming at Li Xian’s chest.

Li Xian watched intently, having seen the Yellow Demon win with brilliant moves before, killing You Hai. He dared not be careless at this critical moment. His saber momentum like fire, he swung the horizontal saber, the flames consuming the fluff, his attack more fierce and unstoppable.

The Yellow Demon’s claws were protected by red fluff, unfazed by ordinary flames. But Li Xian’s Heart Fire was the fire of the "Setting Sun Bloodsword," filled with intense yang qi. As "Blazing Sun Fire," it was even more ferocious.

The Yellow Demon lunged with his red claws. At the instant of contact with the Fire Blade, his red fluff was scorched immediately. His hands scalded, his fingernails and the gaps between his fingers burned painfully to the extreme, the injury penetrating to the bone, causing a subtle ache in his bones.

Only after a brief exchange did the Yellow Demon realize that not only was the foe’s saber fire fierce, but the power contained in the saber was also extremely terrifying. This first exchange left him burned and barely defending against the blade.

Yet the saber’s leftover momentum, wrapped in flames, assaulted directly. The place was so narrow, how could the Yellow Demon dodge? In an instant, he was enshrouded with firelight.

Lucky for the Yellow Demon, he had learned the protective martial art "Enduring Pain Armor." This martial art allowed the body to withstand pain and resist injury. Moreover, the Yellow Demon, having fortune on his side, also possessed the "Gathering Turbid Gauze Clothing."

This second type of turbid clothing had magical effects. Resonating with the "Enduring Pain Armor," a faint translucent white membrane adhered to the surface of his body, partially shielding against the fire’s burning power.

But this was merely the first confrontation. Li Xian’s saber momentum was still fresh, instantly transitioning into a second strike. His wrist flicked, the previous move blazing like fire, the next soft and gentle.

As his blade swirled, it was covered with pure gang qi clothing, which masked the raging flames. At a glance, it looked like a thick garment of fire. Rapidly spinning, the qi clothing transformed into a fiery vortex, catching the eye. It then wrapped around the Yellow Demon’s arms!

Li Xian’s martial arts realm grew. With the advancement in martial arts qualities, he had already reached the second progression of Bone Shaping and Embryo, skill level [21]. The pure gang qi clothing appeared more solid, an intangible substance with a wrapping quality.

The Yellow Demon was shocked. Just as he received the saber with both hands, in that moment, the fire clothing entwined, binding his hands tightly. As he held the attached flames, he vaguely realized that the unseen substance coiling around his arms was a "qi clothing" with "wide sleeves" and "garment body," which now twisted into braids, binding the Yellow Demon.

Widely knowledgeable, the Yellow Demon exclaimed in astonishment, "Pure Gang Qi Clothing!" His expression twisted, enduring the pain while the flames never ceased to scorch his arms.
