Chapter 57

At this moment,

Li Xiao held the Qingshuang Sword in his right hand,

the tip touching the ground,

and beckoned to Huang Yuan with his left hand,

saying faintly:

"Again!"

However,

Huang Yuan waved his hand,

and said:

"Hmm, forget it, forget it. You are very strong, no~ let's not fight anymore!"

Although they had only exchanged blows twice,

Huang Yuan had already clearly realized

that this person’s strength was in no way inferior to his own!

Although he hadn't shown any Haki,

his sword seemed to possess a very special power

that could replace the role of Armament Haki!

In this situation,

his Logia Devil Fruit ability was no longer inherently invincible!

Coupled with his formidable swordsmanship,

continuing to fight wouldn't lead to any result!

Therefore,

realizing this,

Huang Yuan decisively chose to stop fighting!

As for how to handle the aftermath,

let Fleet Admiral Sengoku and the Celestial Dragons in Mary Geoise worry about it!

In any case, he didn't want to fight to the death with this person for the sake of a Celestial Dragon!

However,

he said he wouldn't fight,

but Li Xiao wasn't happy!

"Not fighting?"

"You say fight, we fight; you say stop, we stop. Where did you get such a bad habit!"

Having said that,

Li Xiao held the Qingshuang Sword and took the initiative to charge at Huang Yuan!

Huang Yuan subconsciously condensed another sword of light,

and then blocked Li Xiao’s strike with it!

As expected,

the two swords were in contact for less than two seconds,

and the sword of light in Huang Yuan’s hand was cut in two by the Qingshuang Sword again!

However,

this time,

Huang Yuan was prepared,

and dodged Li Xiao’s strike by moving to the side!

However,

before he could catch his breath,

Li Xiao’s next strike was already upon him!

Huang Yuan hurriedly transformed into a beam of golden light and retreated again,

putting nearly a hundred meters of distance between them in one go,

and then golden light shone on his right foot,

and he kicked at Li Xiao!

A beam of golden light flew out,

and slammed straight into Li Xiao,

kicking up clouds of dust!

Before the dust could settle,

Li Xiao had already rushed out of the dust with the Qingshuang Sword,

crossed the hundred-meter distance in an instant,

and slashed at Huang Yuan from above!

"Mountain and Sea Swordsmanship!"

Huang Yuan’s pupils beneath his sunglasses tightened sharply,

he could feel that the power contained in this strike far exceeded the previous ones,

and he didn't dare to condense a sword of light to block it,

but hurriedly transformed into a beam of golden light and ran to the side!

As Li Xiao slashed down,

a massive cyan sword energy flashed past!

"Boom!"

Accompanied by a loud noise,

the street in front of Li Xiao was split in two,

and a long ravine appeared in the middle, stretching to the end of the horizon!

Under this strike,

a one-way street instantly became a two-way street!

Seeing this,

Huang Yuan, who had already dodged far away, couldn't help but open his mouth slightly,

and muttered:

"Good thing I dodged fast! Otherwise, if I had taken that strike head-on, it wouldn't have been just a minor injury!"

Just as Huang Yuan was rejoicing that he hadn't taken it head-on,

he saw that Li Xiao had turned his head and cast his gaze at him again!

"Hey, I already said I wouldn't fight!"

However,

no matter what he said,

Li Xiao had no intention of stopping!

If it were any other time,

he would naturally be glad not to fight!

After all, he was just an ordinary cultivator,

who only wanted to cultivate peacefully,

seek the Great Dao of longevity,

and other disputes had nothing to do with him!

Even if pirates and Marines fought until they beat each other's brains out,

he couldn't be bothered to care!

But, right now,

Li Xiao was in a very bad mood!

He was not only a cultivator,

but also a foodie!

For a foodie,

the most infuriating situation is having their meal interrupted!

And the most infuriating situation of all

is having their meal interrupted twice in a row!

From the so-called God to the so-called world noble,

spanning ten thousand meters of altitude,

and he couldn't even finish a meal... no, half a meal!

This was simply like a son swearing brotherhood with his grandfather—playing games on his father!

Although the Celestial Dragon who interrupted his meal had already followed in Enel's footsteps,

Li Xiao still felt it wasn't enough to vent his anger!

As it happened,

Huang Yuan arrived!

You want to arrest me, Li,

and I, Li, want to beat you up to vent my anger,

we hit it off perfectly!

How could we quit halfway?

I, Li, do not agree!

My sword disagrees even more!

While thinking,

Li Xiao had already pressed the attack,

and the Qingshuang Sword was mercilessly greeting Huang Yuan!

Under Li Xiao’s fierce offensive,

Huang Yuan transformed into a beam of golden light and retreated repeatedly,

so worried that his forehead wrinkles were almost showing!

Li Xiao’s sword didn't have Haki attached,

but its power was even greater than a sword with Haki!

Huang Yuan couldn't use elementalization to evade,

....... .. 0

and other than dodging, he could only condense a sword of light to block!

However,

in front of Li Xiao,

the sword of light was being treated like a disposable item!

If he wasn't careful,

the Qingshuang Sword would cut the sword of light and still leave a sword wound on his body!

And Li Xiao, facing Huang Yuan’s attacks,

didn't care at all!

For the light-speed kick,

he met it directly with the Qingshuang Sword!

Huang Yuan’s fifty-year-old arthritic legs,

what could they compare to the Qingshuang Sword with!

As for the lasers fired remotely by the light-speed kick,

they were either slashed open by Li Xiao’s sword,

or resisted directly by Li Xiao’s spiritual energy shield!

In this situation,

facing this fierce sword-wielder,

Huang Yuan felt quite a headache!

Although Huang Yuan was still holding back,

Li Xiao was too!

With the cultivation of the late stage of Qi Refining and Spirit Transformation,

carrying the Qingshuang Sword and the Purple Gold Linglong Tower,

plus supernatural powers like Samadhi True Fire and Thunder Control,

Li Xiao’s current strength was truly at the Emperor level!

Even in a one-on-one situation,

no Emperor-level fighter would be Li Xiao’s match!

Relying only on his own cultivation and supernatural powers,

Li Xiao already had strength equivalent to an ordinary Emperor-level fighter!

And besides that,

the Tower and the Sword wouldn't just stand by and watch!

Therefore,

with all his means exhausted,

the current Li Xiao was almost afraid of no one!
