"Mingyu Barrier!"
"It seems Ming Hetai wants to completely kill this person."
"I don't know who this person offended Ming Hetai to warrant the activation of the Mingyu Barrier by Envoy Mingchang. Once the Mingyu Barrier is opened, only one person can survive."
"In front of Envoy Mingchang, once you surrender, you cannot continue to fight. Perhaps it is because of this that Ming Hetai wants Envoy Mingchang to open the Mingyu Barrier. After all, in this challenge match, if you are defeated, you can surrender."
"..."
Upon hearing Ming Hetai's mention of the Mingyu Barrier, everyone watching was shocked. Then, a series of regretful gazes turned towards Li Xuan.
After all, Ming Hetai was the heir of the Grand Elder's family, and the Youming Divine Art he cultivated was not something they could compare to.
As Ming Hetai finished speaking, Ming Chang, seated on the high chair, slowly opened his eyes.
Looking at Ming Hetai, who was pointing at Li Xuan, a hint of hesitation appeared in his expression. He then said, "Ming Hetai, you are the heir of the Grand Elder's family. Regarding the Mingyu Barrier, you should know that it cannot be lifted without someone dying. Are you sure you truly need me to activate it?"
"Envoy Mingchang, I am sure." Ming Hetai nodded immediately. His gaze towards Li Xuan was filled with a sinister smile.
Li Xuan felt a hint of surprise in his heart. He had naturally learned about the Mingyu Barrier from Ming Luo. However, before Li Xuan could even speak, Ming Hetai had already made this request. This suggested that Ming Hetai possessed extreme confidence.
And behind such strong confidence, there must be sufficient strength to back it up. Thinking of this, Li Xuan's expression became more solemn.
"I understand." Envoy Mingchang nodded slightly. Then, he looked at Li Xuan and asked, "Do you wish to challenge him?"
Li Xuan immediately nodded and replied, "Among the top hundred contestants, his ranking is naturally the lowest. My challenge to him should be within the rules, right?"
Envoy Mingchang smiled and nodded, "Naturally, it is within the rules. But regarding the Mingyu Barrier he proposed, do you still wish to proceed with the challenge?"
"I have long heard that the young master Ming Hetai of the Grand Elder's family is exceptionally skilled. Now that he has such courage, it is quite surprising to me. However, since I have already made the challenge, what does it matter even if it is the Mingyu Barrier?" Li Xuan smiled and nodded.
Seeing this, a trace of surprise flashed in Envoy Mingchang's eyes. Then, with a wave of his hand, a barrier appeared in mid-air and descended.
"Since both parties agree, let the challenge begin."
"Kid, once you enter this Mingyu Barrier, you will have no retreat. But it is a pity that Ming Luo did not participate, and I'm afraid there will be no one to collect your corpse." Ming Hetai grinned sinisterly as he looked at Li Xuan, who was simultaneously entering the Mingyu Barrier.
Li Xuan smiled slightly and said, "In that case, there is someone here to collect your corpse."
Ming Hetai's mouth twitched, and his gaze towards Li Xuan became even more vicious. However, he seemed to realize that he could not gain the upper hand in verbal sparring, so he stopped speaking. Then, a spiritual light flashed on his body, and he lunged directly at Li Xuan.
"Can't wait any longer, just as expected, you have no patience. I'm very curious, how did you cultivate to this point with such a temper?" Li Xuan said with a smile again, looking at Ming Hetai who was charging at him in a rage.
However, in his heart, the moment Ming Hetai moved, he had already activated the defense of his extraordinary realm physical body. Then, he also stomped his foot and lunged directly at Ming Hetai.
Boom!
Two fists collided, and a huge tremor erupted. The shockwave that followed, upon reaching the Mingyu Barrier, vanished without a trace. From the looks of it, the sturdiness of this Mingyu Barrier was not something that ordinary strength could shatter.
"It seems that Ming Wenzhai's physical strength is not as good as yours." After exchanging a punch, Li Xuan discovered that Ming Hetai's physical strength was also extremely powerful, even on par with Ming Wenzhai who had previously attacked Li Xuan.
A hint of surprise in his heart, he also looked at the spiritual light on Ming Hetai's body. He saw that beneath Ming Hetai's sleeves, a faint dark glow was flickering. These faint glows were all integrated into Ming Hetai's arm.
"So, you are relying on external forces. The armor on your body is the reason for your physical strength being so formidable." After seeing through the source of Ming Hetai's power at a glance, Li Xuan couldn't help but curl his lips.
Although borrowing external forces could enhance physical strength, it was ultimately not one's own. Especially in the path of physical cultivation, enhancing strength with external objects was extremely disgraceful.
Ming Hetai, who heard Li Xuan's words, paid no attention to the contempt on Li Xuan's face. He looked at Li Xuan and said, "No wonder Ming Wenzhai was defeated by you. Your physical strength is so powerful. However, my Thorn Armor has extremely strong defense and is not afraid of your strength."
As Ming Hetai finished speaking, his robe tore open. A black armor was revealed, and the faint glow on it became even brighter.
"Is that so? Then I would like to see how strong the defense of your so-called Thorn Armor is!" Li Xuan snorted coldly, channeling all his physical strength into his left arm.
"Unrivaled Overlord Fist!"
Terrifying power surged into his left fist, and countless fist shadows instantly enveloped Ming Hetai, crashing down with a roar.
Seeing this, the faint glow on Ming Hetai's body became even brighter. The originally smooth black armor quickly sprouted sharp thorns, from which faint glows emanated.
Boom!
The terrifying power struck the Thorn Armor, and an invisible force was instantly repelled back. Feeling this, a trace of shock appeared in Li Xuan's eyes. This Thorn Armor could actually reflect the attacker's strength back at them.
Li Xuan, unaware of this, was shaken, causing his blood and qi to churn, and his face turned somewhat pale.
"Heh heh, kid, how does it feel? Hitting yourself with your own strength, it doesn't feel good, does it?" Seeing the surprised look on Li Xuan's face, Ming Hetai grinned sinisterly.
Li Xuan chuckled and said, "You are by far the most shameless person among all the Boundless Realm experts I have ever met. It seems you don't have much skill. Did you earn your spot in the top hundred relying on this turtle shell?"
Ming Hetai's mouth twitched, and he said coldly, "If you have the ability, break my defense first!"
Li Xuan smiled and said, "Do you really think your defense is so strong that it's impossible to break? It seems you know nothing about strength."
As Li Xuan's words fell, he clenched his fist and activated all his physical strength.
"Let me show you what strength is!"
"Unrivaled Overlord Fist!"
Li Xuan moved, and terrifying power instantly surged into his left arm, and a massive fist shadow appeared. Then, under everyone's gaze, he punched towards Ming Hetai's body. Wherever the fist shadow passed, the space vibrated.
Even Envoy Mingchang looked at Li Xuan with a hint of surprise.
Boom!
With a roar, the fist shadow instantly transformed into hundreds of fist lights, all of which struck Ming Hetai's body. A series of booming sounds echoed.
"Haha, kid, I told you long ago, you can't break... This! How is this possible!" As Ming Hetai saw Li Xuan's fist shadows approaching, he was initially solemn. But when he felt Li Xuan's fist shadows being blocked by the Thorn Armor, Ming Hetai burst into laughter.
However, before Ming Hetai could finish speaking, he discovered that the Thorn Armor on his body was cracking, and he was shocked.
"I said, you know nothing about strength." Li Xuan snorted coldly and moved again, throwing another punch at Ming Hetai.
Bang!
The already cracked Thorn Armor, with Li Xuan's punch, shattered into pieces and fell to the ground. Li Xuan's punch landed directly on Ming Hetai's chest. With a bang, Ming Hetai's body was sent flying backward.
"Cough cough... Damn it! You... You actually destroyed my Thorn Armor!" Ming Hetai coughed violently, and the expression on his face became even more sinister. Judging by his appearance, he didn't seem to have sustained significant injuries. Even Li Xuan showed a hint of surprise.
"I didn't expect you to still be alive." Li Xuan said slowly.
Ming Hetai let out a loud, sinister laugh, "A mere ant from a small family like you, do you think you can defeat me? A frog in a well, indeed an extravagant delusion. However, you made me hurt. The pain makes me want to flay you alive!"
As Ming Hetai finished speaking, the spiritual light on his body erupted. Then, behind his back, a halo slowly began to form.
"Accept my judgment, ant!"
"Youming Divine Art, Minglun!"
