Chapter 2054: Chapter 2059: Identity Exposed!
"Damn you! If you don’t see what terror is today, you’ll keep causing trouble in your next life!"
Luo Liezi was thoroughly enraged.
How dare Xia Liu belittle him like this!
Disdain for a Nascent Soul Expert!
Without a word, Luo Liezi pointed at Xia Liu, releasing his Nascent Soul Stage cultivation.
The momentum, like a rainbow, pierced through space, reaching right in front of Xia Liu!
Ding!
Suddenly, a crisp sound split the streak into two, rushing towards both sides of the canyon.
Rumble!!!
The earth-shattering blast reverberated in everyone’s ears.
After the dust settled, Xia Liu stood firm, holding a crimson longsword!
This!
Witnessing this scene, everyone present was stunned.
They clearly sensed that Xia Liu’s aura was only at the Golden Pill Late Stage!
Yet he managed to withstand a strike from a Nascent Soul Early-Stage cultivator!
This was certainly not simple!
"Goodness! Such a high-grade magic artifact!"
Luo Liezi could clearly feel the aura on the Flowing Fire Sword.
It was definitely not comparable to a Supreme Grade Dharma Artifact!
This sword was already nearing the realm of a Spiritual Artifact!
Even more terrifying than an ordinary low-grade Spiritual Artifact!
"Supreme-Grade Dharma Artifact!"
Fu Qing squinted his eyes at the treasured sword.
He had always been very fond of it.
The Flowing Fire Sword in Xia Liu’s hand had already become his target!
"Tsk tsk! Even if there’s no Eight-Colored Illusionary Spirit, this sword alone is a worthwhile gain!"
Luo Liezi exclaimed excitedly.
"Hehe! Those who have designs on my artifact usually end up with only one fate."
"Oh? Quite a big mouth you’ve got!"
Xia Liu merely held a Supreme-Grade Dharma Artifact.
His foundation was just at the Golden Pill Late Stage.
Yet facing three Nascent Soul cultivators, he remained calm and composed.
He was even bold enough to make a move.
This kind of courage was not something an ordinary Golden Pill Stage cultivator could compare to.
"This level shouldn’t be enough to crush a Nascent Soul Expert. Just how many hidden cards do you have..."
Looking at Xia Liu, Zheng Qi couldn’t comprehend.
Perhaps today, he could witness a new side through him.
Recognize operations different from common Golden Pill cultivators!
Hundreds of miles away from the canyon, four figures stood on a mountain peak.
Regarding Xia Liu’s actions.
All four were equally shaken.
They couldn’t imagine how a Golden Pill Late Stage cultivator could withstand a strike from a Nascent Soul Early-Stage cultivator.
Even though Luo Liezi was merely at the Nascent Soul Early Stage.
His power, his state of mind, his foundation, were entirely beyond the imagination of a Golden Pill cultivator.
That seemingly ordinary streak of energy would likely result in instant death for a typical Golden Pill Late Stage cultivator.
Yet Xia Liu easily split it into two.
No simple feat!
"I feel like this guy looks familiar, but I can’t say where I’ve seen him before."
Qi Tao was baffled. When he saw Xia Liu.
He had a sense of familiarity.
But then it was gone, and now this feeling of familiarity grew stronger and stronger.
But he just couldn’t pinpoint it, really strange!
"Familiar? Seen him somewhere?"
Qi Mie was a hundred percent certain.
In the top-tier forces he had encountered on his journey, there shouldn’t be anyone like Xia Liu.
In Myriad Realms, even above the Qi Family, within the Su Family.
There was no young man like him either.
And he didn’t have the surname Su.
"There might have been a moment, maybe it was in a crowd or something."
Qi Tao didn’t know how to express it.
He just felt familiar.
"Brother, you’ve got a wide range of sources. Has anything major happened recently in the Myriad Realms?"
Qi Mie had always been following Qi Zheng for protection.
He basically had no information to speak of.
"The biggest event should be the Ascension Conference preparing to open."
"Ascension Conference? Could he be a genius from the Hidden Sect outside the Myriad Realms?"
"Perhaps. From his appearance until now, he hasn’t exhibited any spirit art, so it’s hard to guess which sect he’s from."
"Indeed, he’s as if he knew we were secretly observing, hiding himself so deeply."
The other two elders of the Qi Family also sighed.
To have such a young face.
And such fortune, Xia Liu truly made people envious.
"Brother, think again, is there any other major event?"
Qi Mie felt Xia Liu wasn’t just here for the Ascension Conference.
And Qi Tao had also said he had a familiar feeling.
With the major events happening in the Myriad Realms, perhaps they could trace Xia Liu’s identity.
"Uh, let me think. It seems there was a matter spreading wildly."
"What matter?"
"A Nascent Soul cultivator prodigy from the Zhuang Family was slain in the Xishan Mountain Realm. It’s said to be slain by a cultivator named Xia Liu, who looks young and wields twin swords!"
"Xia Liu, Liu Xia..."
Qi Mie murmured to himself as if he understood something.
"I got it!"
Suddenly, Qi Tao exclaimed.
He recalled where he had seen Xia Liu!
"Before the Young Master entered Flag Mountain, I saw a portrait, brought to Flag Mountain Town by the Zhuang Family!"
"What portrait?"
"The killer of Zhuang Fei, that young cultivator!"
Qi Tao’s eyes widened, almost turning red.
"That’s Xia Liu! The one who killed the Nascent Soul Early-Stage cultivator!"
"What! He’s the young cultivator who killed Zhuang Fei!"
This news undoubtedly shocked the entire venue!
And made everyone realize, Liu Xia is Xia Liu!
"No wonder he’s so fearless, turns out he’s the one who slew a Nascent Soul cultivator!"
"Now that his identity is confirmed, doesn’t that put the Young Master in great danger?"
The elder of the Qi Family expressed concern.
"Let’s observe the changes first. He might not know we’re secretly watching."
Qi Mie also didn’t know what to do.
Take it step by step.
Being able to kill a Nascent Soul Early-Stage cultivator, Xia Liu was definitely no simple character.
"The real problem is that the Young Master believes they might share the same origin with Xia Liu."
Qi Tao’s head was also spinning.
Interfering now would surely disrupt the duel.
If it enraged Xia Liu, who knows what the consequences would be.
After all, he’s already slain Zhuang Family’s cultivator.
How could he fear the Qi Family’s cultivators?
The root of the issue is the lack of deep cultivation. If only there was a Nascent Soul Late Stage cultivation.
There’d be no need to worry about Xia Liu’s retaliation...
Rumble Rumble!!!
In the exchange between Qi Mie and the four others.
The canyon, hundreds of miles away, had already become unrecognizable.
The battle between Xia Liu and Luo Liezi.
Left those present gasping in amazement.
Incredibly, Xia Liu truly used his Golden Pill Late Stage energy body to fight a Nascent Soul Early-Stage cultivator and not be defeated!
However, he was certainly at a disadvantage.
"Hahaha! Young man, you’re only a Golden Pill Late Stage, blind confidence only hastens your death!"
After a series of tests, Luo Liezi was very sure that Xia Liu’s foundation was only Golden Pill Late Stage.
Yet it must be said that Xia Liu was indeed a genius.
If given some more time, he might absolutely break through Golden Pill and achieve Nascent Soul.
By then, he could likely take down a Nascent Soul Early-Stage cultivator in seconds.
Such a prodigious cultivator, once encountered, in a situation of enmity, must not be given any chance to escape!
"After this warm-up, it’s time to end it!"
