Chapter 12: A Lopsided Battle

weapon in Heaven Dragon Treasure…"Shen Xiang interrupted and said, "Don’t worry. I won’t use it to fight you. You are not worthy yet. Of course, if you dare to fight me in a life-and-death battle, I’l...Chapter 12 - The Uneven Battle

Scenery: Scorpion Valley

Shen Xiang wasn't just a young alchemist; he had also entered the martial realm at a very young age, reaching Level Five. However, despite his achievements, he didn't become arrogant. This level of maturity made the branches and elders in the Shen family secretly approve.

Shen Xiang looked at an older man next to Shen Haohai; it was Shen Haohai's younger brother, Shen Yihan, a martial realm 7th level person! He was a clean-shaven middle-aged man with a delicate appearance. He slowly walked out, and since the beginning, he hadn't said anything.

Shen Xiang was about to fight him, but only had martial realm 5th level strength.

The crowd held their breath; the election for family head had unexpectedly led to such a situation, it was beyond everyone's expectations.

When Shen Yihan saw his nephew defeated, he didn't show any anger on his face; instead, he chuckled maliciously, "No matter how talented you are, challenging a martial realm 7th level person will definitely result in defeat."

Shen Yihan had to admit that if he were given a few more years, Shen Xiang would certainly lose, but at the moment, he had almost a 100% chance of winning.

Shen Yihan cultivated cold ice qi, making him somewhat special among the Shen family.

The young genius of the Shen family was actually challenging his uncle, a martial realm 7th level person. If others heard of it before, they would definitely consider it a crazy idea; they wouldn't believe it. But after seeing Shen Xiang's powerful methods, the people of the Shen family were hesitant to decide.

However, most believed that Shen Xiang would lose. After all, there was a significant age difference between Shen Xiang and Shen Yihan, and Shen Yihan was a master of martial arts, having practiced many higher level martial techniques. His qi essence was also thick and strong enough that it wasn't something young people could defeat.

An uneven battle was about to begin, and everyone was watching quietly. After this fight, they could elect the family head!

Shen Xiang had practiced the Green Dragon Divine Power for two months. With his Yin and Yang divine veins, he used a large amount of time every day to absorb the vitality qi from heaven and earth, strengthening his internal qi. After all, he was practicing five true qi whirlpools at the same time and cultivating five different attributes. Therefore, his qi essence was very thick.

Between Level Five "True Qi Realm" and Level Seven "Qi罡 Realm," there was a sixth level, the "Divine Awareness Realm." Divine awareness meant cultivating mental strength to condense a special spiritual power that could control qi. It was very helpful in controlling qi, and it also strengthened the qi. After cultivating divine awareness, one could cultivate "Qi罡 Power."

Shen Yihan was at the Level Seven Qi罡 Realm. He could use powerful qi罡, something that couldn't be compared to qi alone. Therefore, he had absolute confidence in defeating Shen Xiang easily.

Although the terrifying martial power of Shen Xiang intimidated everyone, someone who had a slight understanding of qi could see that his qi was still very "immature" and hadn't reached the level of Qi罡 yet. However, compared to people at the same level, it was extremely powerful.

Shen Yihan slowly walked towards Shen Xiang, and with every step he took, the temperature on the square decreased by one degree. The cold air flowed around him, it was clear that Shen Yihan was also at the edge of breakthrough. His body's cold ice qi was incredibly thick.

Being the closest to Shen Yihan, Shen Xiang felt that icy coldness most deeply. At this moment, Shen Yihan released his qi essence-formed qi罡 towards Shen Xiang, something only martial realm 7th level people could do.

The "Phoenix True Qi" inside Shen Xiang's body was fire屬性, and after being stimulated by cold qi, the Phoenix True Qi instantly erupted from his dantian, shooting towards his limbs. After feeling the comforting warmth flowing through him, Shen Xiang's somewhat rigid body recovered.

Just then, Shen Yihan let out a low chuckle. He slapped his icy palms in the air, causing an icy white frost to spill out from his palm heart. The freezing qi罡 was clearly visible as it hit Shen Xiang's head.

Seeing his opponent move, Shen Xiang slid his feet and moved like a靈活 snake. He quickly slid forward while avoiding the attack, even managing to strike back.

Shen Xiang stepped on his flexible and subtle steps, transforming his palms into dragon claws. The alluring Green Dragon True Qi溢位 from his palms, it was the Green Dragon Claw technique he used to defeat Shen Zhennhua earlier. At this moment, both of his hands were out together, and when his palms condensed two dragon claws made of True Qi, everyone couldn't help but hold their breath in anticipation.

"Hmph!" Shen Yihan let out a low, soft hum. He slapped his icy palms together and struck Shen Xiang's dragon claws with force. A burst of cold air erupted, only to see Shen Xiang's green light dragon claws vanish instantly. Both of his arms were covered in thick ice, causing extreme coldness to flow through his body and making him stiff all over.

Shen Yihan gave a cold smile. He noticed that frost had condensed on his feet, and he leaped lightly, giving Shen Xiang a heavy kick to the face. Shen Xiang was sent flying tens of feet away.

Shen Xiang fell to the ground, and his cheek was cut by sharp ice, leaving several scars.

The frost covering both of his arms was shattered due to the fall, but his hands were stiff from coldness. He immediately circulated the Taiji Divine Power, absorbing the cold qi inside him and letting the Phoenix True Qi in his body flow into his arms to alleviate the coldness.

Realizing that he was considerably weaker against martial realm 7th level, despite his divine power, Shen Xiang now needed to drag it out.

"Heh heh... I have no choice but to admit you're a genius in the Shen family's history. But both you and your father are too arrogant!"

Shen Yihan chuckled maliciously, taking slow steps towards Shen Xiang. He wasn't in a hurry to kill him; instead, he wanted to publicly humiliate Shen Xiang and showcase his strength before everyone in the Shen family.

Suddenly, Shen Xiang's body jumped and stood up. Everyone thought he had been severely injured by a single kick earlier, but now he looked as if nothing happened. Even Shen Yihan was surprised.

Captain Shen Tianhu took a sigh of relief, breathing in and out to recover.

Seeing that Shen Xiang wasn't significantly injured, Shen Yihan leaped over. His figure moved gracefully and lightly, his speed was very fast. This light movement technique was pleasing to the eye.

As Shen Yihan approached, Shen Xiang felt as though he was in a snowy winter. The ground around his feet was covered by ice frost.

During Shen Yihan's leap, he punched into the air. The icy fist force shook the air and instantly hit Shen Xiang's chest, causing a burst of blood to erupt from his chest. However, it was quickly covered by ice.

"It's Xuanyin Qi罡 Power! It is a high-level martial technique of the Xuan grade, which can pierce through golden and split rocks when released!" Shen Tianhu spoke solemnly.

When Shen Xiang was hit, his figure suddenly moved quickly, dodging the flying kick from Shen Yihan. This caused Shen Yihan's icy foot to fiercely hit the ground, shattering a large piece of stone bricks. The broken stones instantly froze.

"He used the Qi罡 technique, there are two weaknesses. One is extremely consuming qi essence, and another is very consuming divine awareness. If he doesn't use the Qi罡 technique, it's impossible to severely injure you!" Shen Tianhu said.

Shen Xiang understood. He needed to exhaust him!human. His skin had many shocking cracks on it, emitting the stench of meat that was burning.Luckily his body was strong; after being attacked by the golden fire lightning relentlessly, he didn't turn...
