  At this, Lie Teng took a deep breath. Although he didn't feel what was hidden in the smile of the palace-dressed woman, the confusion in the young man's eyes made him suspicious. Coupled with the previous solemnity, it shouldn't have appeared confused. The problem must be on the smile of the palace-dressed woman. Lie Teng's eyelids drooped and stared at the palace-dressed woman, thinking deeply. If he faced this palace-dressed woman, how would he resist her smile? Lie Teng almost confirmed that this woman was a bewitching enchantress.

  "I don't know which sect's person, must be a jing tong mei shu, can make the same level cultivator fall into confusion, such mei shu's power is really strong." A voice of surprise came from the front.

  Another person who caught Lie Tong's attention was a red-haired man, standing tall at over six feet, with his fists clenched and wearing a black tight-fitting outfit that perfectly accentuated his robust muscles. His aura was thick and imposing, like an iron tower. His tiger-like eyes shone with strong self-confidence. As he saw the approaching Ling Jian, he took a step forward with his right foot, not retreating but advancing instead. His hands grasped at Ling Jian like tiger claws, and a loud clashing sound of metal was heard. The red-haired man directly grabbed Ling Jian and threw it towards the young man opposite him. Ling Jian's speed was even faster than before, almost disappearing in the blink of an eye as it plunged into the young man's abdomen.

  It's not just Lie Teng, all the cultivators who saw this red-haired man took a cold breath, what a powerful defense, his hands seemed to be forged from mysterious iron and were unfazed by the power of the spiritual sword, it was truly terrifying.

  "What a powerful defense!" Lie Teng's eyes were fixed intently on the red-haired man, thinking to himself that this man's defensive abilities had far exceeded his imagination. He knew he couldn't withstand the spiritual sword with his bare fists, which showed just how strong and ferocious this red-haired man was!

  "Could it be that he's a specially trained person?" Lie Teng thought to himself, not expecting to encounter such a young master in this hunting ground. This made Lie Teng feel both wary and excited at the prospect of battling such a skilled opponent! Lie Teng was not afraid of strong opponents, especially those who were on the same level as him. Although it was possible that he might face danger, Lie Teng enjoyed taking on challenges, for only by doing so could he become stronger. Of course, this desire to challenge others was not blind; if the difference in strength was too great, Lie Teng would likely think of how to escape rather than how to take on the challenge.

  Lie Teng's gaze swept across the cultivators around him, their faces all falling into his eyes, with worry, excitement, joy, and also a sense of battle intent. It wasn't that those of the same level didn't have much disparity, as many external factors could enhance one's strength, such as the grade of the spiritual instrument held, or combat experience. After a moment of contemplation, Lie Teng saw a cultivator on the arena being killed, and he summoned his Green Sword to fly towards the arena, witnessing part of the cultivators' strength. In Lie Teng's heart, there wasn't too much worry.

  As soon as he arrived at the arena, the defensive shield appeared in his hand. Lie Teng had not yet made a move, but the young man wearing Confucian robes opposite him did not hesitate to strike Lie Teng with the spiritual sword in his hand. This person's face was somewhat excited and twisted, with a hint of cruelty, and his eyes were filled with blood-red dots, showing a bloodthirsty appearance. He had already killed two people, which made his confidence swell. Seeing Lie Teng flying over, he recklessly launched an attack, as if Lie Teng had already been listed among those he must kill. This person's appearance made the last bit of mercy in Lie Teng's heart disappear.

  In this land of hunting spirits, once on the stage, many cultivators would take the initiative to attack in order to gain the upper hand. Lie Teng's defensive shield, the Heaven-Defying Shield, swung out to meet the wind and formed a half-zhang turtle shell in front of him. The young man's spiritual sword, a true artifact of lower quality, attacked the shield but seemed to have no effect on it, as if it had struck the mysterious iron. There was not even a sound of impact, and Lie Teng landed on the stage, his shield pressing forward towards the young man, while he himself stood behind the shield, making it impossible for the young man's attack to reach him.

  At the moment of the youth's retreat, the shield in front of him suddenly shrunk, and the green sword in Lie Teng's hand shot towards the youth like an arrow off the string. The youth's pupils contracted, Lie Teng's attack was beyond his expectation, the spirit sword was grasped in his hand, his body rapidly retreated, when the green sword was less than a meter away from him, he swung the spirit sword in his hand to strike down the green sword.

  “Clang…” The two swords collided, sparks flying everywhere, emitting a piercing sound. The young man only felt his right hand go numb and retreated several steps. At the same time, Lie Teng grabbed the hilt of Qing Jian again. As the young man retreated, Lie Teng quickly advanced. He didn't use his Soul Summon unless absolutely necessary, but seeing the hint of a bloodthirsty smile at the corner of the young man's mouth, Lie Teng had a bad feeling. So, he simultaneously activated his Illusory Sword along with Qing Jian. Although he could only create one illusion at this time, it was enough to change the course of battle. The illusory sword attacked the young man's head, while Qing Jian struck at his abdomen. The two swords sandwiched him, causing the young man's divine sense to momentarily stall. However, after reacting, he didn't show any concern, instead revealing a cold smile...

  He dodged to the side just as the two swords were about to strike, and suddenly he opened his mouth wide. Two black lights shot out rapidly, and Lie Tong's heart skipped a beat as he hastily activated the Heaven-Defying Shield. However, it was still a fraction of a second too slow. One of the black lights was less than a meter in front of him, and Lie Tong almost saw that it was a fine black needle, its sharp tip emitting a faint glow. Lie Tong didn't have time to think, his body rapidly retreating as he thrust his right hand at the black needle, unleashing five Soul- Summoning Lights into the air.

  A faint, almost imperceptible sound echoed out, and the black needle was struck down by a soul-guided force. Lie Teng's face turned iron-green, only a hair's breadth away from suffering a severe injury. This person had actually hidden a needle in his mouth, making him incredibly poisonous. The young man in Confucian robes saw that his two black needles hadn't hit Lie Teng, and his expression also revealed a hint of solemnity. He knew the first black needle was blocked by the Heaven-Defying Shield, but the second one... he only vaguely saw Lie Teng's right hand emit a dark aura that struck down the black needle. His heart was filled with shock and awe - what was that dark aura just now?

  At this moment, the distance between the two was less than ten meters. Lie Teng suddenly sprinted towards the young man, who woke up with a start and jumped into the air. With a swift slash of his sword, a burst of energy shot out from within him, infusing the Qing Sword with power and striking it towards the young man. The young man was shocked and held up his own spirit sword to block Lie Teng's attack. Just then, a beam of light flew out from Lie Teng's body, and at the moment when the Qing Sword and the young man's spirit sword clashed, an illusory sword struck the young man's abdomen with great force. The Qing Sword was mainly used to distract the young man, while the illusory sword was meant to take his life. Although its power was not as great as the Qing Sword, it still had about 70% of its energy. When it hit the young man's abdomen, it sent him flying back, and a large hole appeared in his clothes, revealing a black soft armor underneath.
