Lie Qing fled, and the flames he left behind were naturally received by Qin Xuan.
He originally thought that these flames, far exceeding his control, would surely affect Qin Xuan as well. However, to his surprise, the other party simply grabbed them with both hands, and the flames quietly extinguished.
The entire process not only left Qin Xuan's palms unharmed.
Not even a single trace of his clothes was scorched.
This caused Lie Qing's pupils to contract.
He didn't know why this kid could control flames better than him, nor why Qin Xuan suddenly erupted with spiritual power comparable to the Golden Core realm!
After all, what he could summon was already the strongest flame a Golden Core stage cultivator could produce.
Qin Xuan's move just now was even stronger than his own.
Could his realm have already reached the legendary Golden Core realm?!
No, that's not right!
After much thought, Lie Qing still erased this idea from his mind.
If the opponent had truly reached the Golden Core realm, there would be no need to waste words with them; they could simply suppress them with force.
Why bother with all these unnecessary things and waste everyone's time?
That move just now was probably the result of him concentrating all his spiritual power and then releasing it!
After understanding all this, Lie Qing finally felt a little better.
As long as Qin Xuan hadn't reached the Golden Core realm, he was confident that he could defeat him with his own strength!
"Go!"
Regaining his composure, Lie Qing quickly extinguished all the flames raging in the auditorium.
With a cold snort, he challenged Qin Xuan to meet him in the open space outside for a fight.
Qin Xuan naturally had no objection to this.
The more open the space outside, the less likely Ling'er and the masters would be affected by the residual shockwaves of their attacks.
"Then follow me!"
As the words fell, Lie Qing instantly transformed into a ball of flame and shot up into the sky from the auditorium.
However, to preserve his own building, he did not choose to break through the ceiling directly. Instead, he exited through the main door and then ascended.
As for Qin Xuan, he slowly walked out of the auditorium at a leisurely pace, then used Lie Qing's conspicuous flames to determine his direction and joined him.
Masters' duels, naturally, could not be missed by the attending guests.
So, those who could fly, flew, and those who couldn't, ran.
In just a few minutes, Qin Xuan and Lie Qing were surrounded within a hundred-meter radius.
"Kid, die!"
This time, Lie Qing did not hesitate at all.
Once Qin Xuan was in position, he immediately transformed into flames and descended from the sky, heading straight for Qin Xuan's head.
He dared not use the Flame Technique again for the time being, but he was confident that he could kill the opponent by relying solely on his offensive cultivation methods!
Sensing the explosive aura fiercely attacking from above, Qin Xuan frowned, his body instinctively shrinking back.
It wasn't that he felt how powerful Lie Qing's attack was, but rather that he found Lie Qing's attack to be too weak.
Logically speaking, the opponent was now a cultivator at the peak of the Golden Core stage. Even if his full-power attack wasn't world-destroying, it should at least have some might, right?
But Lie Qing's current punch, descending from the sky, seemed fierce but was actually weak and powerless.
If it weren't for the need to prevent his clothes from being damaged by the flames, he would have truly wanted to stand still and take a hit to see what would happen.
However, what Qin Xuan didn't know was that Lie Qing's attack was indeed a very strong strike that a Golden Core stage cultivator could unleash.
Although it wasn't his absolute limit, he was using more than eighty percent of his strength.
But Qin Xuan was simply too monstrous.
If nothing else, the God of Slaughter physique mentioned by Chen Xuan had an ultimate limit of Immortal Venerable, the strongest being in the universe!
If born on a top-tier cultivation planet with abundant spiritual energy, simply fully activating it could allow one to break the core and form a nascent soul, ascending directly to the Nascent Soul stage without any bottlenecks.
Now, on Blue Star, although his physique had not been fully activated, most of it had been.
Facing a mere Golden Core stage cultivator, he naturally wouldn't feel anything.
Coupled with the Tai Xuan Scripture he created by integrating the strengths of various schools, and the incredibly profound spiritual power within his body.
Let alone the peak of the Golden Core stage, even cultivators in the early or middle stages of the Golden Core realm might not be able to defeat him!
This was the gap created by a top-tier physique and a top-tier cultivation method!
"Scoundrel! Arrogant!"
Seeing Qin Xuan standing still, only slightly shrinking his body.
Lie Qing's anger flared up instantly.
If he was angry earlier because Qin Xuan had disrupted the Lie family and injured his son, then now, he was angry because he was being ignored.
With the addition of multiple layers of anger, he increased the force in his hands.
And this time, it had already reached nearly ninety percent of his usable strength!
Of course, using ninety percent of his strength wasn't him deliberately holding back, but for control.
Unless fighting for their lives, powerful individuals like them would always reserve enough space for themselves to advance and retreat freely.
Just like now, Lie Qing could indeed exert one hundred percent, or even one hundred and twenty percent of his strength.
But if Qin Xuan had any secret weapons, or wanted to perish with him,
Then he would have no room to retreat.
With a roar, Lie Qing's speed finally reached its maximum at this moment.
Qin Xuan also finally moved. He gently raised his hands together above his head.
Then he tilted his head slightly and watched Lie Qing descend upon him.
Boom—!
Crack—!
With a loud explosion,
The spot where Qin Xuan was originally standing was instantly engulfed in a dense ball of flames.
And the originally flat yellow earth suddenly cracked, as if forcibly torn apart by something.
The flames blazed fiercely, and the surrounding rogue cultivators were all awestruck by the sight.
They were very fortunate that they had wisely brought gifts to attend the wedding ceremony of the Lie family and the Lu family today.
Otherwise, with the strength of the Lie family's old patriarch, once the two families truly merged, those rogue cultivators who had not declared their stance would surely be thoroughly purged!
The peak of the Golden Core stage!
Which rogue cultivator could resist that?
As for the young man named Qin Xuan, while astonishing, he was ultimately just an arrogant fellow.
Not only did he want to subdue all hidden forces with his own strength, but he also overconfidently provoked the peak of the Golden Core stage!
Didn't he know that as long as the heavens and earth remained unchanged, Lie Qing was the ceiling of cultivators on Blue Star?
To oppose him, the only outcome was death!
Unlike the other rogue cultivators, Ke Wudi, Zheng Wanqing, and Qin Ling'er were still staring intently at the flames ahead.
Qin Xuan never underestimated an opponent based on their performance, let alone knowing that Lie Qing's cultivation was at the peak of the Golden Core stage.
Therefore, since he had given him a look, signaling that there was no need to worry,
It meant that Qin Xuan was confident that Lie Qing was no match for him.
However, the power of Lie Qing's attack was simply too formidable.
So formidable that Ke Wudi and Zheng Wanqing felt that even if they joined forces, they wouldn't be able to withstand it.
Therefore, even though they knew Qin Xuan wouldn't do anything foolish, they were still extremely worried.
