Chapter 186: Xiao Tian’s Temporary Defeat

However, even if they couldn't see clearly, it didn't matter…

Someone at the Ninth Stage of the Huaqi Realm could actually fight a powerhouse at the First Stage of the Tongtian Realm.

This in itself spoke volumes…

Xiao Fan was strong, very strong.

Following Xiao Fan's thunderous roar, the two clashed once again…

Xiao Fan's suicidal fighting style shocked Xiao Tian; he had participated in sparring sessions with fellow Disciples in the Piaomiao Immortal Palace.

But whether it was the Battle Intent Xiao Fan displayed or the ruthlessness of his strikes…

They far surpassed those of the Disciples of the Piaomiao Immortal Palace…

Terrifying.

Too terrifying.

He wasn't an idiot; he knew better than anyone how terrifying a Genius who could challenge those of a higher level was.

Within great powers, fast Cultivation speed and a high Realm were only one aspect.

A more important aspect was the strength of that Genius among those of the same level, and how strong their ability to challenge higher levels was.

With Xiao Tian's current talent, he could challenge those two stages higher; he wouldn't even fear a powerhouse at the Third Stage of the Tongtian Realm.

However…

The Xiao Fan before him could actually fight him while only at the Ninth Stage of the Huaqi Realm?

What did this represent? His opponent was currently fighting him across an entire major Realm…

"You damn trash."

Xiao Tian roared. Simultaneously, a long sword slashed across his chest, leaving a bloody gash. The blow forced Xiao Tian's figure back as he coughed up a large mouthful of blood…

That strike just now had injured his internal organs.

"Trash?"

Xiao Fan sneered, his face full of mockery: "If I am trash, then what are you?"

"Worse than trash?"

Xiao Tian was stunned…

Indeed, if he couldn't even defeat the person he called trash, then if he wasn't worse than trash, what was he?

"Ahhh!! Xiao Fan, I want you dead!"

Xiao Tian let out a furious roar toward the sky. His Aura, which had been declining due to his injuries and exhaustion, suddenly surged once more.

He mobilized all his remaining spiritual power and charged forward.

Anger had already clouded his mind.

Especially since the person opposite him was the "trash" he had looked down upon for over a decade.

Xiao Fan exhaled. Although he was injured, it wasn't much to him.

He, Xiao Fan, had fought many life-and-death battles.

And after a night of Cultivation, he had raised his cultivation level to the Great Perfection of the Middle Stage of the Huaqi Realm…

"Kill!!!"

Xiao Fan also gave a thunderous shout, and the two began to slaughter each other once again.

Xiao Tian's anger drove him into a frenzy, and this time his fighting style also became suicidal.

Trading injury for injury…

However, the Xiao Fan opposite him was not afraid at all. His strikes remained ruthless; if you wanted to trade, he would trade with you.

Within just a few breaths, dozens more wounds appeared on both their bodies.

Both sides were exerting their full strength, neither willing to lose to the other.

In mid-air, Shou Yuanzhong's expression was grim…

He knew exactly what Xiao Tian was capable of, and he never expected that he would actually be no match for his opponent.

If this continued, the one who would lose in the end would definitely be Xiao Tian!

"Damn it…"

Shou Yuanzhong cursed under his breath. He had forgotten how many years it had been since he last cursed at someone.

Jiang Yushan and Elder Cao Mu glanced at him, but neither was in the mood to mock him.

Because Xiao Fan's injuries were also very severe.

But Xiao Fan was different compared to Xiao Tian…

Even if their strengths were equal, Xiao Tian would surely be inferior.

Although Xiao Fan had been called trash since he was a child.

He had experienced far too many life-and-death battles afterward.

From fighting Long Xiaotian and Wang Xuan, to the spirit vein competition, to fighting Su Yizhou and Murong Fu.

From leaving Jingchuan City and facing the pursuit of the Su Family elders and the family head, he had fought his way through and survived to the end.

After joining the Jixian Sect, he had engaged in countless more battles.

Even in Xiluo City, facing a powerhouse of the Xuandan Realm, he still had the courage to clash head-on.

This kind of Heart-Nature and resolve…

Was not something talent could compare to.

If anyone else had gone through everything Xiao Fan had experienced, ninety-nine percent of them would already be stone-cold corpses…

Xiao Tian's expression began to turn hideous. His breath began to gradually weaken, and even his cultivation level started to become unstable.

He had only recently broken through to the Tongtian Realm and hadn't had time to consolidate it before hurrying to Jingchuan City.

However, the trash in his eyes had unknowingly grown to such a level…

"Damn it!"

Xiao Tian cursed, but in that instant, the panlong spear pierced his left chest, passing straight through.

Xiao Tian spat out another large mouthful of blood. Gritting his teeth and enduring the pain… the long sword in his hand slashed violently toward Xiao Fan's head.

Xiao Fan swung the panlong spear, while his other hand used a long sword to block from above…

Then he kicked out, and Xiao Tian's body was separated from the panlong spear…

Blood immediately sprayed wildly from his chest…

He coughed up blood as his body was sent flying backward by the kick…

He was kicked heavily out of the Arena, and only stopped after flying over fifty zhang and knocking down three tall trees along the way.
