Chapter 702: The Very Master of the Xukongzhi Sect

"Hmph, you think this little bit of power is enough to defeat me? Li An, you're far too naive." Lei Nuo gave a cold snort. He was not discouraged by the failure of his first attack; on the contrary, it only sharpened his fighting spirit.

Li An smiled faintly, a confident light glinting in his eyes. "Lei Nuo, you seem to have forgotten—this is a space constructed by the power of the Void Altar, and I am the very master of the Xukongzhi Sect."

As he spoke, Li An's figure flickered, as if he had merged into the void itself, becoming ethereal and elusive, impossible to grasp. Lei Nuo's attack missed again; he gaped, staring in disbelief at the spot where Li An had vanished.

"Impossible! How could you possibly wield the power of the Xukongzhi Sect!" Lei Nuo roared, his voice brimming with unwillingness and fury.

Yet Li An did not answer him. When he reappeared, he was already behind Lei Nuo. With a casual wave of his palm, a blade of void instantly condensed, carrying a biting chill as it lunged straight for Lei Nuo's vitals.

Lei Nuo reacted in a flash, twisting his body aside and narrowly dodging Li An's lethal strike. But Li An's attacks clung like a shadow, every move and every form brimming with deadly threat.

"Li An, don't get cocky too soon! Today, who wins and who loses is still anyone's guess!" Lei Nuo bellowed. No longer holding back, he unleashed a powerful surge of energy from his entire body.

Lei Nuo's hands rapidly wove seals, and streams of complex runes circled around him, as if forming an unbreakable shield. Immediately after, his body shot up like a frenzied beast, lunging toward Li An.

Li An gave a cold snort. He did not fear Lei Nuo's attack and instead charged straight in. The two figures crossed in midair—fist winds, palm shadows, surges of energy weaving together into a heart-stopping tableau.

"Boom!" Their attacks collided once more, and the entire space seemed to be torn apart. Cracks spread through the air, as if to devour the whole space whole.
