Chapter 1730 Reincarnators
Chapter 1730 Reincarnators
With his True Dragon Awakening, Yuan was able to withstand Li Jinxi's cultivation at the fourth level of Divine Grandmaster whilst only being a Spirit Grandmaster himself.
His Chaotic Dragon Core also assisted him even though he didn't utilize any of his chaotic essence.
Li Jinxi's swordsmanship was perfect, but in terms of combat experience, she was still far behind Yuan, even if her past experience was taken into account.
Li Jinxi was a formidable immortal in her previous life, but Yuan specialized in fighting immortals more than ordinary cultivators.
Li Jinxi, having fought many immortals before, could tell that the man before her was as formidable as one—if not even more powerful.
There was no opening in Yuan's defense, and every time he strikes, he leaves her no room to counterattack.
Li Jinxi would normally risk attacking him, but knowing that a single mistake could end their match, she didn't dare to risk it.
After several hundred exchanges, Yuan purposefully gave Li Jinxi the opportunity to attack, but he made sure not to make it too obvious.
Li Jinxi saw the chance and took it.
Her sword shone brightly as it unleashed one of its unique abilities.
[Golden Goddess!]
A golden silhouette suddenly emerged from the Golden Empress, taking the form of a beautiful female avatar who greatly resembled Li Jinxi.
This golden avatar was a manifestation of the Golden Empress' memories of Jin Xi. This meant that the golden avatar had her fighting experience, techniques, and even habits. Its cultivation was even higher than Li Jinxi, being at the peak of Divine Grandmaster.
"One versus two, huh?" Yuan muttered with a slight smile on his face.
Once Jin Xi's avatar began fighting alongside Li Jinxi, they were able to push Yuan back by constantly throwing powerful techniques at him.
[Golden Empress' Sword Dance!]
Li Jinxi began executing a series of swift and powerful sword techniques, each faster and more threatening than the last.
Jin Xi's avatar used her own technique at the same time, supporting Li Jinxi from the rear with long-distance sword techniques.
"Heavens! What a fight! This isn't something you'd expect to witness in the Fourth Heaven!"
The audience watched with their mouths agape. Li Jinxi displayed techniques and combat prowess meant for immortals, and Yuan could somehow withstand them while only being at the peak of Spirit Grandmaster.
"Although that man from the upper heavens is a monster, that beauty is also a monster!"
"Two monsters fighting each other! I cannot imagine what sort of beings they'll become in the future!"
"Their names will definitely spread throughout the Nine Heavens!"
The audience cheered louder and louder as the fight progressed.
"And this isn't even all he can do!" Kelan's body trembled with anticipation as he imagined fighting Yuan at his full prowess.
However, he then realized that if Li Jinxi failed to defeat Yuan, he would also lose his own chance to face Yuan in battle.
"Li Jinxi! You better defeat him, or I will not forgive you!" Kelan cried out in a desperate voice.
As their fight reached its climax, Yuan said to her through voice transmission, "You don't fight like an ordinary genius. Are you, by any chance, a reincarnator?"
"Wha—?!"
Yuan's sudden remarks took Li Jinxi by surprise, causing her to misstep, nearly falling on her face.
"Judging by your reaction, I guess I'd hit the mark." Yuan continued to tease her.
"You… you are also a reincarnator?" Li Jinxi glared at him with a serious frown.
"Yes, and if I said that I have reincarnated more than once, would you believe me?"
Li Jinxi swallowed nervously.
'Reincarnated more than once? That's just like Yuan, but it explains his abnormal prowess,' she thought inwardly.
Li Jinxi had suspected there would be more reincarnators like Yuan and herself after realizing it was possible, but she never had any solid proof.
As for Meixiu and Chu Liuxiang, they would only speak about their past lives with Yuan, so Li Jinxi was unaware of their background.
"What happened? Why did they suddenly stop fighting?" The spectators were puzzled when the two of them abruptly stopped their match.
"They appear to be talking with each other through voice transmission. I wonder what they are talking about."
Nobody there dared to eavesdrop on their conversation, Kelan included, as it would be incredibly rude and offensive if caught. n/o/vel/b//in dot c//om
'If Li Jinxi has such a serious expression, it must be a fairly important subject.' Kelan wanted to eavesdrop, but he feared it would mess with their chances to recruit him.
"What do you know about reincarnations?" Yuan asked Li Jinxi.
"Clearly not as much as you," she said.
"If you defeat me, I'll tell you. I can keep this up forever, but you are starting to run low on spiritual energy, right? How about unleashing your most powerful technique for your next strike? Otherwise, you'd suffer a boring defeat."
Li Jinxi could tell that he was telling the truth just by his calm and relaxed composure. Meanwhile, she was sweating bullets and breathing heavily. Summoning Jin Xi's avatar had exhausted a third of her reserve, and it needed a constant supply of spiritual energy to continue functioning.
'At this rate, I'll run out of spiritual energy in a few hours and lose by default…' Li Jinxi gritted her teeth.
'I refuse to lose in such a manner to someone who isn't Yuan!' Her eyes burned with determination.
Seeing Li Jinxi begin gathering her spiritual energy, Yuan smiled and spoke with enthusiasm, "Don't disappoint me now!"
A few moments later, Li Jinxi finished gathering every drop of her remaining spiritual energy and unleashed it at Yuan.
[Golden Empress' Absolute Decree!]
Li Jinxi raised the Golden Empress above her head as it grew until it became even larger than the stadium itself.
"H-heavens! Is she trying to destroy the entire stadium?!" Emperor Ning cried out loud.
"Don't worry, I will ensure the safety of everyone, including the stadium," Kelan assured him.
The next moment, Li Jinxi swung the massive sword at Yuan.
As the golden sword began descending, Yuan's eyes flickered with a vicious glint.
[Sword God's Apex Sword Art]
"Wait, that's—"
Li Jinxi's eyes widened after seeing Yuan's unique sword stance, but before she could say anything, her vision blanked, followed by a certain notification.
<You have died>
