Legend of the Great Saint Chapter 1416 - A Punch

Chapter 1416 - A Punch

This is a good opportunity, Qingshan! Give up on the gamble! Cultivate in the Hundred Herbs garden peacefully and slowly build up contribution. With your talent for cultivation and that mysterious legacy, you can definitely become a direct disciple. Definitely! Ruan Yaozhu thought silently.
Despite her thoughts, she knew what he would choose in the end. Just by glancing at him, she knew that he had not even considered this suggestion.
Li Qingshan was completely tense as if he was under huge pressure. He deeply experienced the difference between him and a Human Sovereign. This powerhouse among Human Sovereigns was on a completely different level from that last placer Si Long. The difference was so great that he stood no chance, just like when that officer faced him earlier!
However, he did not take a single step back, meeting his gaze proudly like all the powerful enemies he had faced in the past.
He grinned and asked with emphasis, “If I’m not worthy… then who is!?”
His blood boiled through his body as he put on a full display, standing up to Li Liehuo’s aura.
The cultivators in the surroundings were all astounded. He was basically tired of living to talk to the first senior brother like that!
Even Ge Xing praised him silently. This kid is born with courage, but not only have you wasted such a fantastic opportunity with that, but you’ve even forced yourself into dire straits.
Originally, under Li Liehuo’s orders, he could have cancelled this gamble, and even Le Tian would be powerless to stop it. The direct disciples would have no more reasons to target him either. They might have even looked at him with a little more respect!
However, not only did he refuse this, but he even questioned Li Liehuo. Just like that, neither of the two armies that the Myriad sect sent into the Demon domain to wage war were safe for him anymore.
The two armies happened to be the Raging Flames army led by Li Liehuo and the Xuanwu army led by Chao Tianjiao.
Sigh, that’s expected. If he’s not this kind of a person, why would he have taken part in the gamble in the first place?
“Hmm?”
Li Liehuo raised his thick eyebrows that resembled fire, staring at Li Qingshan with a scorching gaze as if he never expected to be questioned.
In a single moment, heat waves visible to the naked eye began to dance, flooding towards Li Qingshan, filled with the murderousness developed from the mountains of corpses and seas of blood on the battlefield between humans and demons.
Whoosh! The heat wrapped around him, entering his every pore. Even with the bloodline of the phoenix, he found it hot and unbearable, like he was stuck in the eight hot hells, where even his Yin Demon was about to melt. However, the people in the surroundings experienced no heat at all. Li Liehuo, who seemed extremely unruly, had already achieved the apex of control over his powers.
Li Liehuo took a step forward and gave off an illusion. It seemed as if his figure swelled and rose up indefinitely like flames, rushing out of the teleportation hall and into the sky. His voice boomed mightily, “I’ll give you one more opportunity. Give up what doesn’t belong to you!”
Compared to him, Li Qingshan only seemed even more insignificant like an ant. However, he took another step forward and bellowed, “Doesn’t belong to me? Belongs to who then!?”
The hall became deathly silent. The cultivators stared at Li Qingshan blankly. He’s definitely mad! However, they also noticed a strange sense of loftiness from him, no less than the first senior brother’s.
The female officer beside Ge Xing finally understood what he had said. If it had been her instead, she probably would have collapsed on the ground already.
The disturbance alarmed the entire city.
Xiao An’s eyes narrowed; she clutched her wrist firmly. “He’s in danger!”
“How do you know… alright then. Apart from him, who else can do something like that? The enemy is probably a late Yang Soul cultivator, even perhaps close to the peak. On top of that, their power and personality leaves them extremely skilled at fighting. We have no chance at winning at all, so…”
Xiao An said, “If there’s any danger, you leave with him. I’ll cover you.”
“Just what’s so great about him?” Gu Yanying sighed with a smile. “You don’t have to worry for now. That Ruan Yaozhu from earlier is right beside him. She probably won’t just stand by…”
Xiao An lowered her head and clutched her wrist even more firmly. The prayer beads rubbed and clashed together, making them creak.
Gu Yanying was slightly surprised. “Sorry.”
Even the badge on Li Qingshan’s chest gradually began to melt. Ruan Yaozhu rode over on the reluctant nine-coloured deer and arrived before him, blocking Li Liehuo’s scorching, violent aura.
“Senior brother, aren’t you just harassing him at this rate, just because you’re stronger?”
Li Liehuo directly ignored Ruan Yaozhu, staring at Li Qingshan like a vicious beast. “Is this who you’re relying on?”
Li Qingshan smiled. “You still haven’t answered my question, senior brother. If I’m not worthy, who’s worthy? If it doesn’t belong to me, who does it belong to then? Is it you?”
“Do you really think I won’t kill you?” Li Liehuo said furiously. Even Ruan Yaozhu felt a little hot. The nine-coloured deer’s coral-like antlers gave off a nine-coloured glow, fending off the heat desperately.
“I’ve heard something like that just recently.”
“Was it Chao Tianjiao? The things she might care about doesn’t mean I might care about. If I want to kill you, no one can protect you today!” Li Liehuo directly made his way down from the altar.
“I don’t need anyone’s protection.” Li Qingshan made his way around Ruan Yaozhu and asked with a sneer, “Heh, I wonder how many moves you need to kill me with your cultivation, first senior brother?”
“Do you want to try it?” Li Liehuo asked harshly.
“I want to try it!” Li Qingshan grinned viciously.

“A punch! If you can withstand a punch from me. I’ll spare your life!”
“If you can’t kill me with a punch, then you better write your ‘Li’ backwards. I’m embarrassed to share the same…”
Before he could say “surname”, Li Liehuo’s fist erupted like a volcano, slamming against Li Qingshan’s body violently.
In reality, that was all there was to the power behind a volcanic eruption. A volcanic eruption might even pale in comparison to that.
Even though Li Qingshan had already gathered all of his focus, it was still too fast for him to respond. Even when he had already gathered all of his strength, he only lasted for a split second. Li Liehuo sent all of his power into his body, erupting like a volcano within him.
Boom!
Li Qingshan slammed through the black stone tower and was thrown into the horizon.
“Li Liehuo!” Ruan Yaozhu glared at Li Liehuo. Everything had happened far too quickly. She never expected him to actually strike without any hesitation at all.
“Don’t worry, he’s not dead. I’m just teaching him a lesson.”
As if his anger had vanished, Li Liehuo glanced at his fist. He was indeed out to kill, and he had not held back with his punch. Even weaker Demon Sovereigns might not have been able to endure it, but his aura did not actually vanish.
He sure was a strange kid. If he had enough time to grow and reach the position of direct disciple, he could definitely found an army under his own name, and he might even be able to contend for the position of first senior brother. However, he would have to survive first. Even if he managed to survive after a punch from him, he would be heavily injured.
“Heal him up. I’ll be waiting for him on the battlefield!”
He glanced at Ruan Yaozhu and Ge Xing and stepped into the teleportation formation again, vanishing with the twisted gate of light.
Ruan Yaozhu patted the nine-coloured deer and rushed off in the direction where Li Qingshan had fallen.
“What’re you all gathering here for? Scatter, scattered!”
Ge Xing waved his hand unhappily. This gamble would be his win, but he was unable to cheer up. Fearless warriors received respect wherever they went, especially when it was in the army barracks, yet he would be dying pointless over a gamble now.
However, he felt like he was being watched earlier. Was that merely an illusion?
Gu Yanying and Xiao An had already vanished from the bridge where they could see the Department of Military Provisions in the distance.
