Start a mysterious island

"Crackling..."

In the raging fire scene, the burned houses collapsed and made a noise.

Fang Jingtang and his three men stood quietly behind Liu Yuancheng, looking at the hateful enemy not far away with resentment, waiting for this strong man with third-level cultivation to take him down.

"Tsk, it seems that tonight is over. My luck is a bit bad! I was about to wipe out all the backbone of the Red Blood Gang as planned, but Cheng Yaojin showed up halfway.

We can only wait and find time in the future to eliminate the remaining scum. Lin Li looked at the guy in front of him and muttered in his mind, and then his eyes fell on the members of the Red Blood Gang who were hiding behind Liu Yuancheng.

The four people in Fang Jingtang saw Lin Li looking at them with unconcealed murderous intent. Thinking of how terrifying this enemy was, they immediately shuddered, then shrank back and took a few steps back.

"What? Judging from your reaction, are you preparing to resist?" Liu Yuancheng asked.

"Huh..." Lin Li looked away from the members of the Red Blood Gang and looked at the third-level practitioner in front of him. He took a long breath and said, "If I want to leave, you can't keep me..."

Liu Yuancheng didn't expect that the person in front of him would dare to say such things even though he knew that he was a third-level practitioner. He felt that this person was really arrogant.

However, it was rare for him to meet such a person who knew nothing about heaven and earth. Instead of being angry at the other person's arrogant words, he laughed out loud.

"Hahaha... You are really arrogant! I hope you can still have the same attitude as you do now."

As soon as he finished speaking, Liu Yuancheng's whole body shot out. With a speed as fast as the wind, he reached Lin Li in the blink of an eye.

Raise your right hand, clench your fingers into a fist, and punch the target in the chest.

After learning that the man in front of him with a saber hanging on his waist was a third-level practitioner, Lin Li had always concentrated on being on guard against the opponent, so when the enemy launched an attack, he reacted immediately.

He ducked sideways, and a fierce fist grazed the corner of Lin Li's clothes.

The shot was empty and failed to hit the target, which made Liu Yuancheng feel surprised in his heart.

The reason why he was surprised was that although he did not use all his strength in the attack just now, such an attack cannot be avoided by a practitioner at the beginning of the second stage, even a practitioner at the middle stage of the second stage. There is no way to avoid it.

However, the masked man in front of him still had the first stage of the second stage of spiritual energy fluctuations. With such strength, he managed to dodge his attack.

After Lin Li dodged the attack, he immediately raised his leg to counterattack and kicked Liu Yuancheng in the face. Facing the target's counterattack, Liu Yuancheng also responded and stretched out his free left hand to block.

"boom."

A kick hit Liu Yuancheng's arm, and the huge force caused a dull sound from the collision.

After giving the opponent a kick in return, Lin Li used the reaction force to jump back, took several steps back, kept a certain distance, and prepared for the attack.

"What a powerful force. A practitioner at the beginning of the second stage cannot have such power. You must be more than a practitioner at the early stage of the second stage, right?" Liu Yuancheng blocked Lin Li's kick and moved his slightly numb arms. said.

Previously, Lin Li dealt with the members of the Red Blood Gang so easily that he had the time to answer each other's questions and ridicule them.

The enemy we are facing now is a third-level cultivator. The pressure is very high and there is no way to distract him.

Seeing that the target was silent and did not speak, Liu Yuancheng did not continue to ask questions, because he felt that since you are unwilling to speak, then I will use force to make you answer my questions.

He pulled out the long sword hanging from his waist and injected it with spiritual energy. A pale golden light bloomed on the sharp edge of the long sword.

"Snapped."

When Lin Li saw the enemy draw his weapon, he raised his hand and snapped his fingers. The flying sparks immediately expanded and condensed into blazing fireballs the size of watermelons.

"Awakened the fire power? No wonder he is much stronger than practitioners of the same level who have not awakened the power. However, it is still a bit too strong and beyond common sense." Liu Yuancheng saw the fireballs surrounding Lin Li and thought in his heart Said to himself.

"call out……"

Under Lin Li's control, fireballs shot out quickly, directly hitting Liu Yuancheng who was holding a spiritual weapon and a long sword.

"You four, stand back..." Liu Yuancheng said to the four members of the Red Blood Gang who were hiding behind him, and then took the initiative to face the fireball shot towards him.

After hearing this, Fang Jingtang and his three men quickly stepped back dozens of meters, then stood there and watched the two men fighting.

They didn't even think about running away because there was no need, after all they were victims.

"Bang, bang, bang..."

The light of the sword flashed, and the watermelon-sized fireballs that attacked Liu Yuancheng were all chopped up by Liu Yuancheng's spiritual weapon long sword.

After the fireball exploded, a wave of fire swept across it. Liu Yuancheng already had a way to deal with this. He mobilized the spiritual energy in his Dantian to cover the surface of his body, isolating the damage from the wave of fire.

This method of mobilizing spiritual energy for defense requires very high control of spiritual energy, and at the same time consumes a lot of spiritual energy.

Although second-level practitioners can also use this method, if they want to use this method so skillfully, they need to break through to the third level and practice more to master it.

He used his weapon to chop down the incoming fireball, used his spiritual energy to resist the damage of the fire wave for a moment, and then immediately canceled the spiritual energy covering his body.

Lin Li was amazed by the ability to use spiritual energy so freely, "This is a third-level practitioner! It's really much better than a second-level practitioner..."

"Qiang."

The enemy's blade slashed at him, and Lin Li immediately raised the spiritual weapon dagger in his hand to block it.

Seeing that his target had blocked his blow, Liu Yuancheng immediately launched another violent attack.

Facing Liu Yuancheng's continuous attacks, Lin Li naturally responded with all his strength.

"Qiang, Qiang, Qiang..."

The spiritual weapon dagger and the spiritual weapon long sword, which glowed with light golden aura, collided rapidly, and each collision would emit shining sparks.

And with the fierce collision between the two sides' attack and defense, it can be felt that the intensity of Lin Li's psychic energy fluctuations began to increase rapidly.

If you keep restraining your strength and only use the strength of the first stage of the second stage to deal with the attacks of third-level practitioners, you will not be able to resist for a long time.

The initial stage of the second stage, the middle stage of the second stage, the high stage of the second stage, and the peak stage of the second stage... After Liu Yuancheng launched a ferocious attack for three minutes, Lin Li's psychic fluctuations were fixed at the peak of the second stage, and he used all his strength. Deal with the enemy.

"Second-level peak? It turns out that the guy who wants to kill us all is a practitioner with second-level peak cultivation!!!"

Fang Jingtang and the three little bosses felt the second-order peak spiritual energy fluctuations emanating from Lin Li. Their eyes widened and they were extremely shocked.

If they had known from the beginning that this man wearing a hood had such strength, they would not have dared to surround him and take him down even if they had a hundred courages.

The members of the Red Blood Gang were shocked that Lin Li was a second-level peak practitioner, but Liu Yuancheng, who had already expected that the target had hidden his strength, was not as surprised by the target's strength as they were.

What really surprised and confused him was Lin Li's strength and speed.

For Liu Yuancheng, who is already a third-level practitioner, he has been at the second-level peak for many years. He is very clear about the power and speed possessed by second-level peak practitioners.

Logically speaking, he has already used 70% of his strength. The target in front of him, even a second-level peak practitioner, cannot cope with his offensive, but the opponent is not in a situation that cannot be dealt with.

The strength of the counterattack and the speed of evasion are actually as good as his own, which is completely unreasonable.

Because excluding spiritual power, the speed and strength of a second-level peak practitioner are at most equivalent to about 30% of a third-level practitioner.

"Qiang, Qiang, Qiang..."

The battle continued, with another series of equally matched offensive and defensive battles.

Hundreds of moves were exchanged again. The two sides exchanged blows with their fists, and then each took a few steps back. Lin Li took two steps back.

"You..." In this fierce battle, an ordinary second-level cultivator would have been defeated by Liu Yuancheng long ago. At this moment, there was a deadlock, which really surprised Liu Yuancheng.

He opened his mouth to say something, but when the words came to his lips, he didn't know what to say.

After thinking for a few seconds, he directly asked Lin Li a question that was very confusing in his heart, "Why don't you run away?"

At the beginning, Lin Li, who had never fought with a third-level practitioner, still felt a lot of pressure in his heart.

After a fight, he found that he was on par with his opponent, and the pressure suddenly disappeared.

At this moment, when he heard the enemy ask him why he didn't run away, he did not continue to remain silent to deal with the enemy, but said in a calm tone, "It is rare to meet a third-level practitioner. I want to see the gap between me and the third-level practitioner." How big.”

"..." After hearing Lin Li's answer about why he didn't run away, Liu Yuancheng remained silent. He didn't expect that it was just that the other party was not afraid of him, but he actually regarded him as a training target.

Fang Jingtang and the three petty bosses who were watching the battle from a distance felt that their worldview was about to burst when they saw that Liu Yuancheng still failed to capture the hateful enemy despite a fierce attack.

Third-level cultivator! This is a third-level practitioner! A fierce attack failed to take down that hateful guy, and he was only a second-level peak practitioner!

"I didn't expect that! A third-level practitioner is nothing more than this!" Lin Li said to himself with a slight smile.

"That's it?" Liu Yuancheng, who was silent, heard Lin Li's soft words to himself, and his aura suddenly changed.

"This is..." A strong sense of oppression hit his face, and Lin Li's relaxed mood immediately became tense. Judging from the changes in Liu Yuancheng's momentum, he knew that the enemy in front of him was going to use all his strength next.

The equal match just now did not actually make Lin Li feel arrogant that with his second-level peak cultivation, he could defeat a powerful enemy with a third-level cultivation.

He also surmised in his heart that the enemy with a third-level cultivation level in front of him must not have used his full strength.

After all, after the practitioner breaks through to the third level, he has the ability to fly in the air, but the other party has never used it in the previous battle.

The sentence just now about a third-level practitioner was nothing more than that. In fact, Lin Li deliberately said it in a casual tone.

He wanted to anger the opponent and let the enemy use all his strength as soon as possible, so that he could feel the gap between himself at the peak of the second level and the third level practitioner.

"Arrogant guy, next I will let you deeply understand the insurmountable huge gap between the second level and the third level." Liu Yuancheng said with a serious face and an indifferent tone.

Next, he will use all his strength to seriously teach the target in front of him.

"Gudong..." Fang Jingtang and the three little bosses who were watching the battle from a distance felt the powerful and oppressive aura exuding from Liu Yuancheng's body. Their throats twitched subconsciously and they swallowed.

"This lord is going to show his true strength next," said a little boss.

"Let me just say that the match was evenly matched just now. It must be because this gentleman did not use his full strength."

"I think so too. The gap in combat power between a second-level practitioner, even a peak second-level practitioner, and a practitioner with a first-level third-level cultivation is still very huge, and it is impossible to be evenly matched."

Fang Jingtang did not speak, but concentrated on watching the confrontation between the two people in the distance.

The cultivation of these two people is beyond his reach in this life. It is a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity to see such a duel.

"boom."

The ground cracked, leaving two clearly visible footprints, and spiderweb-like cracks quickly spread around.

With his feet on the ground, Liu Yuancheng shot out at a speed unbelievable to ordinary people, hitting Lin Li like a fired cannonball.

"What a speed!"

Lin Li, who was concentrating on watching the enemy, couldn't help but marvel when he saw Liu Yuancheng attacking him at such a speed.

This time the enemy attacked much faster than before. If he chose to dodge, he would probably be completely at a disadvantage by the opponent's successive attacks, so Lin Li decisively chose to stand on the spot and carry on.

The long sword, a spiritual weapon with a light golden aura, slashed from top to bottom toward Lin Li's shoulder.

"Qiang..."

He raised his hand to block with the spiritual weapon dagger. The sound of the two spiritual weapons colliding together was several times louder than before. If you look closely, you will find that Lin Li's right hand is holding the spiritual weapon dagger, and his five fingers are firmly grasping the handle. .

It can be seen that this time Liu Yuancheng swung the long knife and struck with such force that Lin Li had to use all his strength to hold the dagger in his hand. Otherwise, it is very likely that the dagger would be hit by a huge blow. The force of the attack knocked him out.

Liu Yuancheng stopped his hand, jumped up to his side, waved the long sword in his hand again, and attacked from a different angle. Upon seeing this, Lin Li immediately jumped back more than ten meters, trying to distance himself and adjust his condition. .

But what happened next made his heart suddenly sink.

Liu Yuancheng jumped up to his side. After Lin Li jumped back, his body did not fall to the ground, but hovered in mid-air and flew straight towards Lin Li quickly.

The plan to distance him completely failed. Liu Yuancheng, who flew closer, did not wait for Lin Li to stand still after landing, and immediately struck with a powerful and heavy blow.

"Qiang, Qiang, Qiang..."

The attacks continued like a tidal wave, causing Lin Li to retreat repeatedly.

Tossing and turning, Lin Li thought of various ways to distance himself from the enemy, but under the pursuit of Liu Yuancheng, who could fly in the air, it was impossible to achieve it.

This is the terrifying thing about third-level practitioners. Having the ability to fly in the air makes third-level practitioners more flexible in battle.

Without special means, it would be impossible for practitioners below the third level to escape from the hands of third-level practitioners with the ability to fly in the air just by relying on their own legs.

"boom."

Twisting his body, he launched a flying kick into the air.

Lin Li quickly raised his left arm to block. After receiving a kick from Liu Yuancheng, his body immediately flew out. When he flew out, Liu Yuancheng flew in the air and chased after him.

"It's amazing how you can fly!" Lin Li, who was suppressed by the enemy, felt a little annoyed. He immediately shouted and then shot a fireball casually.

"Peng."

The fireball was unable to cause any harm to Liu Yuancheng. Just like before, he was directly slashed and exploded by him. Then he passed through the fire wave caused by the fireball explosion and came to Lin Li unscathed.

He raised his right hand and swung his sword towards the shoulder of the target who had just landed and was still standing.

"Huh?"

The expected resistance did not appear. The target did not raise his hand and used the dagger to block. Liu Yuancheng was a little surprised by this. However, when he saw this, he did not retract the knife mercilessly and slashed directly at the target's shoulder.

"Pfft."

The moment Liu Yuancheng's spiritual weapon sword was about to hit Lin Li's shoulder, flames rose, but the spiritual weapon sword failed to hit the entity.

Fang Jingtang and the three little bosses who were watching the battle from a distance had joyful smiles on their faces and joy in their hearts when they saw Liu Yuancheng was about to kill the hateful enemy.

"Tao is the body of elements."

But the scene that happened next caused all the joyful smiles on their faces to disappear, and they all exclaimed in unison.

"So this is your trump card that allows you to confront me tit for tat without running away!" Liu Yuancheng landed and said as he looked at the target that had lost its human body and turned into a flame body made of fire elements.

"Haha..." Lin Li smiled, because this was not his trump card to dare to stay and confront the third-level peak practitioners. He did not respond to Liu Yuancheng's words.

Next, he will try to see how far he can go in an actual battle with an enemy stronger than him with the ability of the elemental body he obtained after breaking through to the second level peak after eating the red magical fruit. .

"If you regard the elemental body as your trump card and try to defeat me with it, this is simply fanciful." Liu Yuancheng said with disdain as he looked at Lin Li, who had turned into a flame man, and the fire on his body was getting stronger and stronger.
