Chapter 297: Chapter 297: The Battle with Li Shengming

Translator: 549690339

Fang Lin repeatedly found himself being driven back, seemingly being outmatched in everyone’s eyes.

This Li Shengming’s arms radiated a crimson glow, his strength magnified several times over. Even the considerably strong Fang Lin seemed overwhelmed at this moment.

If his large bone stick wasn’t so firm, Fang Lin would have probably already lost to Li Shengming.

Members of the Li family cheered aloud, seemingly expecting to see a scene of Li Shengming splitting Fang Lin in two with one stroke of his axe. A disdainful smirk played across Li Zhendong’s face, as if he was basking in satisfaction.

Han Luoyun carried a nonchalant expression, showing no worry about Fang Lin’s plight.

Thump, thump, thump!!!

Fang Lin continued to fall back, his arms slightly numb, but his face showed no signs of panic. He was the very picture of composure.

“Let’s see how much longer you can hold on!” Li Shengming roared with laughter, the glow from his arms seemingly intensified for a moment.

“Opening Mountain Four Moves!” Li Shengming used an extremely fierce technique. He chopped his giant axe four times, each chop was so powerful, it was as if a mountain was bearing down upon them.

Yang Wanshan, standing behind Yang Jianye, was astonished. Even if he could defeat Fang Lin, he didn’t seem to stand a chance against this Li Shengming.

Li Shengming was too powerful!

Every member of the royal family was astonished beyond words. They hadn’t expected Li Shengming to be this powerful. They only knew that Li Guanxin from the Li family was highly capable, overshadowing other prodigies in the family.

But they had never imagined that Li Shengming was so formidable. His strength was unmatched, capable of subduing many opponents alone. He was seemingly invincible.

Several royals mused in silence. Among the princes, apart from the Eldest Imperial Son Yang Xuanfeng, it was likely that none stood more than a 50% chance of defeating Li Shengming.

But even so, Fang Lin kept at it, somehow withstanding it all!

With the daunting four chops falling down, Fang Lin snorted coldly. He applied his Nine Heavens Step Skill, effortlessly evading Li Shengming’s assault.

“Ha! Ha! Ha! At last, you run!” Li Shengming laughed heartily, his face filled with disdain.

Fang Lin didn’t respond, he simply continued to employ his Nine Heavens Step Skill, avoiding Li Shengming’s relentless attacks one after the other.

Gradually, Fang Lin managed to stabilize the situation. Although Li Shengming’s strength was shocking, he wasn’t particularly adept at movement techniques. To Fang Lin, his movements were of the poorest quality.

If it weren’t for Li Shengming’s extremely formidable strength, Fang Lin would have been able to defeat him easily with the prestige of his Nine Heavens Step Skill.

Li Shengming had exerted a lot of strength after fighting for so long, but Fang Lin was as elusive as an eel, never letting him get near him, which frustrated him tremendously.

“Shengming! Stay calm!” Li Zhendong shouted from afar.

Startled, Li Shengming immediately gained clarity. He recognized Fang Lin’s strategy – to exhaust him and then cause him to crumble under his own power.

Han Luoyun glanced at Li Zhendong, “It appears that the Family Head really cares about his people, doesn’t he?”

Li Zhendong grunted, his face turning sour again.

He harboured great faith in Li Shengming’s abilities. Amongst the younger generation within the family, Li Shengming was the strongest. As long as he didn’t have to face experts like Yang Xuanfeng or Li Guanxin, he was pretty much invincible.

The weakness in Li Shengming, Li Zhendong knew, was his inadequate movement technique.

Li Shengming poured all his energy into cultivating his strength, so naturally, his movement technique was somewhat weak. Most of the time, his formidable strength could compensate for this weakness.

However, Fang Lin was clever and had quickly realized that although Li Shengming’s strength was great, his movement skills were average. He decided to exhaust Li Shengming by exploiting this weakness.

Relying on the sharpness of the Nine Heavens Step Skill, Fang Lin became more adept at dealing with Li Shengming. Although he still could not confront Li Shengming directly, his quirky and pesky style of playing cat and mouse frustrated Li Shengming, preventing him from using his strength effectively.

At the moment, after being reminded by Li Zhendong, Li Shengming regained his concentration. Instead of hastily exerting his strength, he intensely stared at Fang Lin, hoping to find faults and patterns within his movement technique.

Very soon, however, Li Shengming was disheartened to discover that Fang Lin’s movement technique was like a fleeting gust of wind – unpredictable and flawless.

Even the spectators outside the arena, who were considered experienced and knowledgeable, marveled at Fang Lin’s technique. No matter how they looked at it, he seemed flawless and undefeatable.

“Sect Master Han, does your sect possess such impressive techniques for movement?” Li Zhendong asked, glancing sidelong at Han Luoyun.

Han Luoyun sneered at him, “Our Purple Mist Sect’s teachings are vast, certainly far beyond your grasp.”

Li Zhendong grunted and said no more, but his forehead was creased in a frown.

At first, he had been supremely confident in Li Shengming, but after seeing Fang Lin’s dexterity with the Nine Heavens Step Skill, he felt a shiver of unease.

If things continued this way, Li Shengming’s strength would eventually be exhausted fully, and Fang Lin might still have some reserves left, which would allow him to defeat Li Shengming effortlessly.

Li Shengming obviously realized this too. He knew he had to defeat Fang Lin quickly; the longer the battle dragged on, the worse his chances.

Without wasting any more time, Li Shengming reached for his Nine Palace Bag. A fierce gust of wind roared, and a large purple net rushed out directly over Fang Lin.

Fang Lin was shocked. He hadn’t anticipated this move from Li Shengming. He instantly mobilized the Nine Heavens Step Skill to its limits, narrowly evading the large net.

Yet, this forced Fang Lin into a corner. Seizing this opportunity, Li Shengming bellowed, and both his arms as well as his huge axe burst with a dazzling crimson radiance. Looking like a hulking bear, he fiercely struck at Fang Lin.

Fang Lin gritted his teeth. With no other options remaining, and with the limited space to use the Nine Heavens Step Skill, he had to withstand this attack.

However, it wasn’t like Fang Lin had no way of withstanding this. He just didn’t want to reveal his trump card just yet.

At this point, he had no choice. If he had to reveal it, then so be it. He had more than one secret technique, after all.

Boom!!!

Suddenly, Fang Lin’s aura soared. A colossal phantom of a demon beast appeared.

It was an enormous white elephant, as large as a mountain and incredibly imposing. Its four elephant legs were like enormous pillars that upheld the heavens.

The elephant raised one of its legs and ferociously kicked Li Shengming, sending him and his axe rocketing away. Li Shengming was violently coughing up blood.

“What is…” Everyone was greatly shocked, even a somebody like Li Zhendong was intensely fixated on the enormous white elephant.

“What powerful martial arts!” Yang Jianye exclaimed in admiration, with many experts from the royal family nodding in agreement.

Li Shengming was kicked away by the elephant leg. He rolled over on the ground a few times like a gourd, with a pale face, as if he’d seen a ghost.
