Xu Qing's words were like thunder, exploding in Taichu City, roaring and reverberating.
All the monks who heard this were shocked, especially the disciples of various sects.
It is true that Taichu City has not seen this kind of life and death battle for too long.
Generally speaking, it is everyone's acquiescence that disciples from various sects challenge each other here. After all, they are all the geniuses of the human race. With so many people gathered together, it is inevitable that there will be disputes and ideas of superiority.
Coupled with the rules of the Sword Holding Court, challenges became more frequent. During this period, every sect was challenged or challenged.
But on the eve of this sword-wielding trial, there had never been a life-and-death battle, so Xu Qing's words were naturally like thunder to everyone.
They never expected that Xu Qing, who had always avoided fighting and was considered cowardly by many people in private, would be so murderous when he opened his mouth.
This is beyond the expectations of many people.
"Hard enough!"
"This is just a matter of not taking action, but if you do, you will kill people!"
"I was still thinking before, how could Xu Qing, a quasi-taoist, be so cowardly? Now this is enough!"
"It's hard to say. I hope Xu Qing is not seeking death. That Li Ziliang is not easy!"
For a moment, discussions continued, and a large number of monks took off, looking in the direction of Taisi Xianmen to see if Li Ziliang would accept the challenge.
Among the flying crowd, there were also disciples from the Alliance.
For the monks in the alliance, they know Xu Qing relatively well and feel at ease, especially the disciples of the Seven Blood Eyes.
And soon, more and more people were paying attention to this matter, and so were the figures flying out, all waiting for Li Ziliang's reply.
Even the climbers from Taichu Li Youzhu came down one after another to pay attention to this battle. It can be said that in an instant, Xu Qing's words attracted everyone's attention.
In fact, as a member of the Eight Sects Alliance who enjoys the treatment of a Taoist, Xu Qing's identity and status are extraordinary.
The same is true for Li Ziliang. Although he is not a Taoist priest, he is also very famous in his own right.
In addition, Li Ziliang has been in the limelight during this period. He has been challenged and challenged more than ten times, and he has easily won. His fighting power in the Four Palaces is amazing. At the same time, he has always been the pinnacle of participants in Taichu Li Youzhu.
Even some sword holders are paying attention to him. As a result, his battle with Xu Qing will naturally become a hot topic.
In the gathering of countless gazes, Li Ziliang's expression in Taisi Xianmen remained as usual, with a cold light flashing in his eyes, but there was some hesitation in his heart.
People outside didn't know Xu Qing, but he had paid special attention to him and knew that it was not easy.
If it were not a life and death battle, he would not have any hesitation. After all, there was no life and death crisis anyway, so he could give it a go.
And he felt that he could win with a high probability.
Fighting with Xu Qing will attract more people's attention. After all, the opponent's status in the Eight Sects Alliance is unusual. If you win, you can overpower the opponent and jump up.
There will be a lot of gains in reputation.
At the same time, the display of one's own talents can also attract the attention of the sword-wielding court, secretly adding points to oneself.
The most important thing is that someone promised him great benefits and asked him to take this opportunity to test Xu Qing's depth.
He knew that the man valued Xu Qing's life lamp.
And according to that person's habit, every move he makes is extremely meticulous and he pursues a sure way to win.
In fact, he, Li Ziliang, also had his eye on Xu Qing's life lamp.
But now he is not ready, so if it is a life and death battle... he is a little hesitant.
This is not the Taisi Immortal Sect. If you really go there, it will be a real life and death battle. With so many people watching, it is impossible for the Taisi Immortal Sect or the alliance to protect you.
However, considering that he now has four heavenly palaces, his combat power is strong, and according to the intelligence, Xu Qing only has three heavenly palaces.
Even if there are emperor-level techniques, they are only comparable to his own.
"In a life-and-death battle...if I kill him and take away his life lamp, the Eight Sects Alliance and that person won't be able to say anything."
"But Xu Qing dares to propose a life-and-death battle. He must be confident. The outcome of this battle is hard to say..." Li Ziliang is not stupid. He analyzed it thoroughly, but now he is more or less riding a tiger.
After all, he had put forward many challenges before. If he did not accept the challenge in a life-and-death battle, he would definitely lose all face, and the attention he once received would disappear in an instant.
"Although there are unknown dangers, it is also an opportunity."
"Besides, apart from Zhang Siyun, a man who is cunning, cunning and cold-hearted, and is almost inhumane, no one else can avoid me so far."
Li Ziliang pondered for a little longer, and there were gradually more discussions outside. As various rumors echoed faintly, Li Ziliang's eyes flashed with murderous intent.
He knew he couldn't hesitate any longer and sneered again.
"Xu Qing, you are seeking death yourself, you can't blame me!"
His body swayed and suddenly flew out. The moment he stepped into the sky, the eyes of countless monks in Taichu City were directly focused on him.
Under the gaze of everyone, Li Ziliang turned into a rainbow and headed straight to where Xu Qing was.
From a distance, he saw Xu Qing standing in mid-air outside the city.
Dressed in a purple shirt, with long hair, an enchanting face, an indifferent expression, and calm eyes.
All this made Li Ziliang narrow his eyes, and he rushed straight towards Xu Qing without slowing down. When he was about to rush out of the city, his speed suddenly accelerated, and he was twice as fast as before.
He was already very fast when he came, but now his sudden explosion created a sense of surprise, especially since this kind of speed has never been shown before against others.
At this moment, his speed increased sharply, and he turned into an afterimage. He rushed out of the city in an instant, approached Xu Qing, raised his right hand, and pressed it hard.
There are four heavenly palaces transformed behind him.
These four heavenly palaces have similar shapes, but are different from ordinary heavenly palaces. They are shaped like a ladder, and are made of crystal. They are covered with runes and emit a bright light.
At this moment, as Li Ziliang raised his hand, the four heavenly palaces suddenly roared and appeared directly above Xu Qing's head.
Stacked on top of each other, from a distance, these four heavenly palaces overlap and seem to form a crystal pagoda.
He suppressed Xu Qing instantly.
All this happened in a flash, and combined with Li Ziliang's speed, it became a trump card.
At the moment of falling, Li Ziliang suddenly dispersed his spiritual thoughts, sent a message to Xu Qing, and said something that only Xu Qing could hear.
"Xu Qing, I've been looking for you for a long time. The hatred between you and me, do you still remember me..."
These words echoed in Xu Qing's heart. Xu Qing's face was expressionless. He didn't know the other party, and he definitely had never met him. Otherwise, if the other party had hatred towards him, he would have been on the bamboo slips long ago.
So he didn't pay attention to what the other party said. At this moment, the four heavenly palaces roared down and smashed towards him. The power of the four palaces' golden elixir exploded in full force.
In an instant, all directions were shaken, and Xu Qing's figure was submerged by the pagoda formed by the four heavenly palaces.
Countless lightnings emitted from it and connected to the earth, like wire drawing. While it looked amazing, the pagoda hit the earth faster.
But the next moment, the pagoda suddenly paused in mid-air, and there was an earth-shattering loud noise that echoed throughout the whole body.
Amidst the roar, the tower collapsed rapidly and was visible to the naked eye, falling into pieces and turning into countless fragments that shot out in all directions.
Revealing Xu Qing's figure in mid-air and the nine-story waves rising around him.
The waves rumbled in all directions, one after another. Xu Qing, standing on the waves, looked like a sea god.
There was even a roar, and behind Xu Qing, above the waves, the Golden Crow was like the sun rising from the sea, emitting golden light above Xu Qing.
Within the golden light, although its body was black, its nineteen colorful phoenix tails were flying in all directions, and wherever it passed, pieces of burning phoenix feathers swirled around the world.
Li Ziliang's expression changed. He knew that Xu Qing was very strong, but it was not until this moment of fighting that he truly felt the violent power of Xu Qing.
It gave him the feeling that although the combat power of the Fourth Palace was still close to that of the Fifth Palace.
"Damn it, why didn't my previous transmissions plant any doubts in his mind?"
Almost the moment he looked at Xu Qing, Xu Qing moved.
The speed was so fast that he was riding the waves straight towards Li Ziliang in an instant. The golden crow spread its wings and the angry waves followed.
Li Ziliang's pupils shrank, his body quickly retreated, and he made a secret gesture with his hands.
"Immortal magic, true spirit ice spear!"
Ice spears appeared all around and roared towards Xu Qing. Each of these ice spears emitted a bright light like crystal.
He blocked Xu Qing, but was destroyed by Xu Qing's Golden Crow.
"Immortal magic, sign of fire!"
In an instant, another sea of fire formed in all directions, turning into a huge flaming palm, sweeping towards Xu Qing, trying to block him again, but was drowned by the angry waves.
"Immortal method, the hexagram of the fourth palace!"
The broken pieces of the heavenly palace in the sky were all blurred and dissipated at this moment, and then four more heavenly palaces transformed in mid-air, arranged with each other, two side by side in front and two vertically behind.
It was like a residual hexagram, blocking Xu Qing's front, as if he was analyzing and deducing it.
It wasn't over yet. Li Ziliang waved his hand, and a huge mirror appeared below Xu Qing.
This mirror is illusory, with countless blurred figures appearing in the mirror, which cannot be clearly seen, but it seems to have some strange power, making people look involuntarily. The less clearly they can see, the more they want to see.
After doing this, Li Ziliang raised his right hand and made a quick gesture, as if he was calculating something.
The many figures in the transformed mirror began to become clear from blur.
Until the next moment, after Xu Qing blasted away his heavenly palace with one punch, Li Ziliang's expression suddenly changed drastically, he spat out a mouthful of blood, looked at Xu Qing with disbelief on his face, and exclaimed in surprise.
"I know why you don't recognize me. On your body... you are actually..."
As he spoke, he assumed a posture as if he had seen a ghost, turned around suddenly, and fled away into the distance.
At the moment when he was escaping, Xu Qing raised his head and glanced with a calm expression. He suddenly raised his right hand and grabbed it suddenly.
The direction Xu Qing grabbed was not where Li Ziliang escaped, but behind him!
