Only to see a teenager over ten years old walk out from behind Yao Kaidong, slowly stepping forward.

Qin Xiao had some impression of this child, it seemed he was also a Profound Spirit Root, directly assigned to Immortal Sword Peak.

"Master, you must not take this child lightly, the opponent is at Qi Condensation Seventh Layer."

Yun Man, afraid Qin Xiao didn't know the details, hurriedly stepped forward and said.

"No matter."

Qin Xiao also stepped forward, appearing lazy and carefree.

"This Yao Kaidong seems to intend to strike hard, directly having a Qi Condensation Seventh Layer person face me, a mortal."

After learning the opponent was at Qi Condensation Seventh Layer, Qin Xiao had a general understanding in his heart.

"Junior Uncle Qin, disciple Li Lu requests Junior Uncle's guidance."

Li Lu had already received his cousin's order: as long as he didn't kill the opponent, he could do whatever pleased him. Then if he wanted to get the Holy Son's attention, he certainly couldn't hold back.

"Nephew, please make your move. I also want to see what the strength of Qi Condensation period is like."

Although Qin Xiao seemed indifferent, he was actually on high alert in his heart. The reason he didn't strike first was, first, to test the defensive power of Body Refinement First Layer, and second, as an elder, striking first at a child was really somewhat inappropriate. Now he was someone who wanted to save face.

"Then this nephew won't stand on ceremony."

After speaking, Li Lu instantly appeared in front of Qin Xiao.

If it were before, Qin Xiao probably wouldn't even be able to see clearly how the opponent moved. But now at Body Refinement First Layer, Qin Xiao naturally saw Li Lu's movements clearly, but he still didn't react. As long as the opponent didn't strike sensitive areas, Qin Xiao planned to take the opponent's punch first.

"This kid is probably scared stiff, not moving at all."

"He wants to move, but what reaction speed does a mortal have?"

"Trash is indeed trash."

Qin Xiao remained motionless. Seeing this, the disciples of Immortal Sword Peak all mocked one after another.

"What is Master doing? Could Master really be a mortal? Not some expert?"

Yun Man also couldn't figure it out.

Li Lu's punch didn't aim at any treacherous places, but directly struck toward Qin Xiao's stomach. It wasn't because he was particularly upright, but because he wanted to thoroughly humiliate Qin Xiao, to perform well in front of Yao Kaidong. Knocking him down immediately would be less fun.

"Bang."

This punch solidly landed on Qin Xiao's stomach.

But Qin Xiao didn't scream as everyone expected. Instead, it was Li Lu whose fist trembled slightly, his hand burning with pain as if he had just punched an iron block.

"What's going on?"

Seeing the scene he anticipated didn't occur, Yao Kaidong immediately became displeased.

"Senior Brother, don't be anxious. My cousin is still young after all, kind-hearted. Holding back is understandable."

"Li Lu, what are you doing? Don't worry, strike freely. With me and the Holy Son here, you won't be blamed."

Li Cheng quickly explained upon seeing this, then loudly shouted at Li Lu.

"Cousin, I understand."

Li Lu was also bewildered at this moment. If not for the pain coming from his hand, he would suspect he hadn't hit just now.

"What technique is Master using? Clearly doing nothing, yet the opponent retreated after punching him?"

Yun Man also couldn't figure it out at this moment because she didn't see any Spiritual Qi fluctuations, meaning Master did nothing, just stood there letting the opponent punch him.

This was a punch from Qi Condensation Seventh Layer. An ordinary person would already be rolling on the ground, but Master seemed completely unaffected.

"This is the strength of Qi Condensation Seventh Layer? Seems quite ordinary too."

Qin Xiao patted the clothes on his stomach, gaining a general understanding of Qi Condensation period in his heart. With his Body Refinement First Layer, he completely feared nothing from Qi Condensation period.

"Nephew, as an elder, Uncle has already given you one move. Next, Uncle will get serious."

After speaking, Qin Xiao also rushed toward Li Lu at extremely fast speed, his speed no less than Li Lu's just now.

Seeing Qin Xiao actively attacking, Li Lu quickly took out his sword. Although it wasn't a Spirit Weapon, it was still a good mortal weapon.

With the opponent drawing a sword, Qin Xiao naturally didn't dare to be overconfident either. After all, only at Body Refinement Second Layer could one be impervious to mortal weapon damage. But having come this far, he felt it would be a loss not to throw a punch.

Qin Xiao slipped past Li Lu's blade and drove a fist into his stomach, returning the earlier blow in kind.

Li Lu wasn't a novice either. Seeing Qin Xiao brushing past the sword blade, he immediately changed his move, switching from thrusting to sweeping, the sword directly cutting across Qin Xiao's chest.

After one exchange, the two separated.

Li Lu retreated several steps before stopping, only feeling burning pain in his stomach, his insides churning, even his Dantian feeling somewhat unstable.

Looking at Qin Xiao, the clothes on his chest were already torn open, but no blood flowed out. However, Qin Xiao also felt burning pain.

After checking, Qin Xiao discovered a long scratch on his chest. Fortunately, it didn't break the skin, so he breathed a sigh of relief.

"Indeed, this Body Refinement First Layer is still somewhat weak. The opponent is only Qi Condensation Seventh Layer. If it were Qi Condensation peak, probably more than just a scratch."

Looking at the scratch, Qin Xiao also felt some fear. He had indeed been somewhat reckless just now.

"Am I seeing this right? A sword cutting across the chest, only tearing clothes? Not even bleeding?"

"Junior Brother Li was actually punched back several steps? How is this possible? The opponent is just a mortal!"

"Could Junior Brother Li be going easy? But not this easy! This is practically pouring out the sea."

The current scene made everyone incredulous. Qi Condensation Seventh Layer fighting a mortal, not only unable to break defense, but getting punched back themselves. Who would believe this if told?

Yao Kaidong didn't speak, but looked at Li Cheng beside him.

Li Cheng understood, directly walking in front of Li Lu, slapping him across the face.

"Li Lu, what are you playing at? You've completely embarrassed me."

Li Cheng was also furious. Originally wanting his cousin to show off, perform well, never expecting to lose such face.

"Cousin, the opponent is strange. I really wasn't going easy!"

Li Lu almost wanted to cry at this moment. He already did his best, but the opponent was strange. What could he do?

"I don't want to hear excuses. I only want to see results. The Holy Son is watching. How far you can reach in the future depends on this performance. Get serious, as long as he doesn't die."

Li Cheng had no mind to listen to Li Lu's explanations. He only wanted to see results. Only with correct results would his standing in Yao Kaidong's eyes become greater.

"Junior Uncle Qin, everything just now was only probing. Next, this nephew will get serious. Please don't blame me."

Seeing his explanations useless, Li Lu could only brace himself and go forward. Moreover, this time he also planned to get serious. If he didn't take down the opponent, he really couldn't survive in Immortal Sword Peak anymore.

"Only you have weapons?"

After speaking, Qin Xiao took out his sword from his space. This was the High Grade Spirit Weapon his cheap master gave him. Although he had no Spiritual Qi and couldn't activate it, fortunately it was sharp enough. Previously, Qin Xiao used it to chop firewood and cut vegetables.

"High Grade Spirit Weapon?"

Seeing Qin Xiao take out a High Grade Spirit Weapon, Li Lu's heart went completely cold. When the opponent was empty-handed he didn't have much confidence. Now with the opponent holding a High Grade Spirit Weapon, how could he fight?

"Trash, he's a mortal, without Spiritual Qi. Even holding a High Grade Spirit Weapon, what can he do? Just a slightly sharper sword."

Seeing his cousin somewhat retreating, Li Cheng quickly shouted.

"Yes, he has no Spiritual Qi. I don't need to fear."

After being scolded by Li Cheng, Li Lu finally reacted, immediately feeling much more at ease.

After speaking, Li Lu directly rushed toward Qin Xiao. With this sword, he directly aimed at Qin Xiao's leg.
