"What? You?"
Li Qingxuan was stunned.
Then, as if she had heard the biggest joke ever, she said mockingly, "Lu Chong, there are better ways to seek death. The gap between us is as vast as heaven and earth, yet you dare to challenge my master? How ridiculous."
However.
Faced with Li Qingxuan's mockery, Lu Chong didn't even spare her a glance.
Because Li Qingxuan wasn't even worthy of his attention.
He just silently stared at Li Hongtian.
This made Li Qingxuan very displeased.
How dare this fellow display such an arrogant attitude!
"Hahaha!"Li Hongtian burst into laughter, and when his laughter ceased, his expression turned cold.
"Young man, are you here to play games with me?"
"This Province Lord doesn't have time to waste with you!"
"Just die!"
The cold words came from Li Hongtian's mouth, and as his voice fell, he raised his palm.
With a fierce squeeze.
In an instant.
The space surrounding Lu Chong began to compress rapidly, closing in on him.
Seeing this.
Li Qingxuan's lips curled into a cold smile.
Lu Chong's death would be the best thing that could happen to her, as it would nullify their marriage agreement and save her a lot of trouble.
It was only because of her status and to avoid gossip that she hadn't dealt with Lu Chong directly before, which was why she had made that one-year agreement.
However.
Several breaths passed.
Lu Chong stood quietly in mid-air, completely unaffected, as if the compressed space around him had no impact whatsoever.
What was most unbelievable to her was that Lu Chong's lips curved into a smile that carried a hint of mockery.
"What's going on?"
Li Qingxuan's eyes widened.
This level of spatial compression would be fatal not only to Lu Chong but even to her, Li Qingxuan.
Involuntarily.
She turned her questioning gaze toward Li Hongtian.
But what she saw shocked her even more – Li Hongtian stood there with his mouth agape, looking even more surprised than she was.
Indeed.
As the one who initiated the attack, Li Hongtian's heart was in turmoil, like stormy waves.
The feeling he got when he tried to compress the space around Lu Chong was like a normal person trying to squeeze a piece of iron.
No matter how red-faced you got, even if you strained until you soiled yourself, you couldn't make that iron budge an inch.
It was too bizarre.
"Kid, I underestimated you," Li Hongtian said in a hoarse voice. "You're clearly not the waste everyone claims you to be. You've been hiding your strength, hiding it very deep. At the very least, you're on par with the elder beside you." ŔÄNỗ𐌱ËŞ
"What?"
"Hiding his strength?"
"On par with the elder beside him?"
"Doesn't that mean... he's at the late stage of True Essence Immortal Realm!"
On the side, Li Qingxuan's eyes widened, completely unable to believe this fact. She hurriedly called out, "Master, there must be some mistake. I saw him just over a month ago, and he only had the strength of a Heavenly Immortal. Although he's somehow concealing his power now, how could he have made such a leap in just a month?"
Li Qingxuan couldn't accept this reality.
This person she wanted to break off her engagement with.
Someone she had always looked down upon and despised was actually stronger than her?
He even had cultivation levels that she could only look up to?
It should be known that she possessed the Ancient Immortal Physique and was a heaven-blessed genius. In the Xining Immortal Continent, if anyone claimed to be second in talent, no one would dare claim first.
Yet this Lu Chong, who was the same age as her...
"No..."
"Impossible."
"This is absolutely impossible..."
She muttered to herself.
This was too fantastical, and it dealt a massive blow to her self-confidence.
"As expected of someone at the Star Immortal Realm!" Lu Chong was somewhat surprised that Li Hongtian could see through his strength at a glance. He then continued calmly, "Since you know my strength, let's stop with these childish moves. Come at me with your full power!"
After speaking.
Lu Chong took a slight step back.
His face showed excitement while also becoming serious.
After all, this was his first time fighting against someone from the Star Immortal Realm.
However.
Just as Lu Chong was looking solemn and had even taken up a fighting stance, Li Hongtian suddenly produced a small white flag from somewhere.
"I surrender!"
He said while raising the white flag.
