In Another World, Everyone Want to Kill Me!

Chapter 372: Duel Between Masters

Both Shang Qinghua and Li Xunhuan were opponents he could not defeat.

Even if he wanted to mediate, there was no way for him to insert himself into their confrontation.

Although, during this period of intense training, he had already cultivated the Ninefold Celestial Mystery to the seventh level.

Whenever he trained alongside Li Xunhuan, his progress was always especially rapid.

Perhaps it was because he feared being beaten, or perhaps for some other reason, but whenever he was around Li Xunhuan, Yue Mingxuan always felt tremendous pressure.

He thought Li Xunhuan was incredibly powerful, and he also felt that learning from him had truly been a wise decision.

Li Xunhuan was indeed an excellent teacher.

His own level of skill was extraordinarily high, and the way he guided Yue Mingxuan was equally effective.

"I want to fight you."

While Yue Mingxuan was still lost in thought, Li Xunhuan had already made his challenge.

Yue Mingxuan sighed.

This martial arts fanatic really did challenge anyone he met to a fight.

Still, he was also curious to know which of them was stronger, Shang Qinghua or Li Xunhuan.

He had never fully understood Shang Qinghua’s true abilities.

However, he vaguely remembered that Shang Qinghua had still been unable to defeat Keshun Sanfeng.

He wondered whether, before his death, Keshun Sanfeng had passed all of his martial arts skills on to his biological son, Rong Zishen.

The reason Yue Mingxuan trained so diligently now was precisely so that one day he would be able to defeat Rong Zishen.

"Since you have said so, then I shall gladly accept."

Shang Qinghua’s smile grew even more alluring.

The expression on his face, paired with those striking features, made him appear even more breathtakingly handsome.

For a moment, Yue Mingxuan was completely captivated.

Only then did he realize that Shang Qinghua’s face truly was one of the reasons he attracted so many admirers.

Although Yue Mingxuan was not particularly interested in Shang Qinghua’s appearance, what he liked more was Shang Qinghua himself, the person beneath that face.

Of course, it could not be denied that such a handsome appearance had deepened his favorable impression of Shang Qinghua.

But that was not all there was to it.

...

This sparring match could only be described as completely unexpected.

After all, Yue Mingxuan had never anticipated that such a battle would suddenly take place.

Shang Qinghua and Li Xunhuan clearly did not know each other, yet the moment they met, sparks immediately flew between them.

Yue Mingxuan let out a soft sigh and then sat to the side to watch their duel.

As far as he knew, both men possessed remarkable martial arts skills.

The only question was which of them would emerge victorious.

As he watched the tense atmosphere between Shang Qinghua and Li Xunhuan, Yue Mingxuan could not help but feel extremely nervous.

Shang Qinghua’s techniques were intricate, agile, and constantly changing.

He had no fixed style.

His internal energy was powerful, so every move he used carried considerable force.

As Yue Mingxuan watched him, a strange feeling suddenly arose within his heart.

Shang Qinghua’s strength was truly somewhat overwhelming.

Aside from Keshun Sanfeng and the Emperor of Beirong, there seemed to be very few people capable of surpassing Shang Qinghua.

Yue Mingxuan was also very familiar with Li Xunhuan’s techniques.

However, what he had not expected was that Li Xunhuan was actually even stronger than the version he had previously witnessed.

Only now did he realize that when Li Xunhuan trained with him, he had deliberately lowered his level to accommodate him.

Yue Mingxuan could only feel that the strength possessed by these two men was utterly terrifying.

He had no idea how they had cultivated such extraordinary martial arts.

He only felt that in order to attain such skill, they must have paid an enormous price.

Just cultivating the Ninefold Celestial Mystery after forcing his internal energy to flow in reverse had already been difficult for him to endure.

He truly could not understand how they had achieved such accomplishments at such a young age.

Inevitably, Yue Mingxuan became curious.

"Your martial arts are quite impressive!"

"You are not bad yourself."

The exchange between the two men was exceptionally exciting.

Their attacks and counters came one after another in a fierce and relentless rhythm.

Yue Mingxuan watched with complete fascination.

Only then did he realize that the duel had already ended.

It had merely been a sparring match where both sides stopped at the appropriate point.

The result had been decided almost instantly.

However, Yue Mingxuan still did not know the outcome.

Both men appeared completely unharmed.

As he rubbing his eyes in confusion, he asked, "You two are finished already?"

"Mm."

Li Xunhuan nodded.

Then he raised a hand and pointed at Shang Qinghua.

"He won."

Yue Mingxuan was secretly startled once again.

Previously, he had only known that Shang Qinghua was very powerful, but he had never understood exactly how powerful.

To be honest, Yue Mingxuan did not have a particularly clear concept of the different levels of martial arts strength.

"Your martial arts are impressive as well. A large part of my victory was due to luck."

Shang Qinghua smiled as he spoke.

His words were somewhat modest.

However, Li Xunhuan no longer displayed the same arrogant and unruly demeanor he usually carried.

Instead, he shook his head and said,

"Your strength is genuinely formidable."

"I concede."

Li Xunhuan spoke those words openly.

Then, as if he had suddenly remembered something, he added, "You are from The Black Archon."

"The Black Archon is indeed a very mysterious place. The fact that it could cultivate someone like you makes me quite curious about what kind of place it really is."

"If you are curious, you can always join us."

"I’ll pass on that."

Li Xunhuan shook his head.

Although he had lost to Shang Qinghua, he still had no intention of joining any sect or organization.

He simply felt that for someone as young as Shang Qinghua to achieve such accomplishments was truly remarkable.
