Eternal Life Starts as a Hunter

Chapter 632: Chapter 194: Opening the Celestial Eye, The Truth of Ghost Street

The data for Lü Xuanxian is "5670~61084 (122169?)"

And at this moment, "Evil Ghost Lü Xuanxian" is directly "122169".

He was likely the heroic spirit connected to the third-ranked sword on the Emperor’s list of legendary weapons, appearing to protect when the Emperor was on the brink of death...

Unfortunately, he met Li Yuan.

A creature encountering another creature, yet still wanting to protect some ant—it was indeed too difficult.

But if it weren’t for Li Yuan, no matter how many Fourth Grade assassinations there were in this world, he could have stopped them.

Li Yuan’s data was "4530~104572".

Looking at the data, he was not as formidable as Evil Ghost Lü Xuanxian.

However, he was currently in need of a grand battle to merge the Talisman Seed with the Fire Body, thereby breaking through to Fourth Grade. Evil Ghost Lü Xuanxian’s arrival was rather opportune.

Moreover, over the past two years, he had honed his Divine Soul, merged with Yin Qi, enabling him to clearly sense the flow of Qi and predict others’ movements, strength, everything, thereby defeating opponents vastly superior with the weakest force...

Such power enabled Li Yuan to defeat "Hanzhou Iron Cavalry"’s Seventh Grade cavalry with unorthodox means, and to fight evenly with the Fifth Grade Martial Fool—Xie Feng using ordinary Sixth Grade power.

This was a kind of soft power.

However, who was Lü Xuanxian?

If Li Yuan guessed right, he was the true Martial God, once ruling the Human World a thousand years ago, oppressing that era with his dominance.

Martial God,

mastering all martial skills, omniscient,

what you use, he can replicate immediately,

returning the favor in your own ways,

with rebellious battle spirit, unparalleled ferocity.

Hanzhou Iron Cavalry was utterly suppressed on the technical level by him, and so was Xie Feng, but could the Martial God be suppressed?

No one knew.

Just moments ago, Li Yuan clashed with the Martial God—a fleeting instance, yet even so, it was immensely fierce.

So, if the two were to engage to determine victory, what would happen?

On Li Yuan’s neck, countless tiny fleshy buds wriggled and grew, attempting to reconstruct the head.

Under Evil Ghost Lü Xuanxian’s chest, the same situation occurred...

Only, compared to Lü Xuanxian, Li Yuan was slightly faster.

With a thought, Li Yuan grasped his blade, swiftly moving away from Chenxi Manor.

Evil Ghost Lü Xuanxian seemed indifferent to the battlefield, floating after him. As a Fourth Grade, having or not having a head or legs did not affect movement and observation, at most bringing negative effects during combat.

The two soon arrived at the uninhabited Vast and Ancient Forest.

Evil Ghost Lü Xuanxian’s abdomen was rapidly forming, with pale ribs generating; below, fleshy buds like long worm-like tentacles expanded outward, weaving and entwining within.

Meanwhile, Li Yuan had already grown a skull, though the outer flesh was still wrapping around, appearing as an eerie existence with a skull head.

Despite appearing severely injured, to them, it was as trivial as a small cut on a finger to ordinary people.

"Is this spot okay?"

Evil Ghost Lü Xuanxian asked, "Ahead lies a formidable Ghost Realm."

Li Yuan replied, "Yes."

Both seemed to refrain from exchanging further words for some reason, appearing to eagerly anticipate the upcoming battle...

Perhaps it was the loneliness of being the number one under heaven a millennium ago, and a thousand years later, Li Yuan’s desire to break through...

Or maybe it was for other reasons.

As for the original "Emperor," he became merely a pretext for their confrontation.

Evil Ghost Lü Xuanxian didn’t angrily shout, "How dare you kill the Emperor," nor did Li Yuan ask frivolous questions like, "Who are you, what are you doing here, why are you here?"

Both just quietly, anticipatingly, watched each other.

Evil Ghost Lü Xuanxian suddenly said, "How about we start with martial skills? Suppress power to Seventh Grade."

Li Yuan also refrained from saying much, raising his blade, internal powerful Qi retracted, as long as he held back, it was Seventh Grade, once unleashed... it was Sea Calm, it was Dragon Breath.

Evil Ghost Lü Xuanxian also gripped his halberd, casually swinging it a few times.

The two did not rush or charge, instead approaching each other as if leisurely strolling...

Evil Ghost Lü Xuanxian floated.

Li Yuan, however, walked.

When they got close, it became a blade against halberd encounter.

Li Yuan’s hits were seemingly light, while Lü Xuanxian’s Halberd Skill was incredibly swift.

Every strike from Evil Ghost Lü Xuanxian felt as though striking cotton, each of Li Yuan’s deflections and counterattacks was consistently met by an impregnable defense.

Their exchanges appeared ordinary, yet their motions left afterimages in the air. From afar, both looked like multi-armed, multi-handed Demon Fiends...

Though it seemed speed was the focus, it was indeed a confrontation at the pinnacle of skill.

Speed was secondary; the real challenge was maintaining the utmost precision in every swift attack.

Anyone else on this continent standing against either of them would struggle to hold their own.

Yet, to the two, this was merely a warm-up.

While warming up, they quickly recuperated.

Without a head and body, they couldn’t exert their full potential.

Evil Ghost Lü Xuanxian expected them to fight until they recovered, then engage in a decisive battle.

He was mistaken.

Li Yuan’s head still resembled a skull, yet during one particular move, he suddenly reminded, "I’m making my move."

With that said, he truly attacked.

He wouldn’t wait any longer.

With the flickering of blade light, Dragon Breath erupted, during the sweeping motions, fiery, intense high-temperature waves radiated in all directions.

Evil Ghost Lü Xuanxian warded off two blows with his long halberd, then retreated.

Dragon Breath forced him into defense, but it wasn’t a major threat when he was entirely focused on countering.

Unless another one-for-one exchange happened... otherwise, Dragon Breath could not penetrate his defense.

Yet, just after Li Yuan’s strike, Evil Ghost Lü Xuanxian suddenly assumed a starting stance, his long dark hair waving back, and fangs baring...
