Lingxu, Sword Coffin, Blind Swordsman

A deafening boom echoed through the air.

The spirit stone floor tiles beneath their feet, spanning dozens of yards, instantly collapsed into a massive pit!

Xu Junlin's face flushed slightly, and the muscles in his left arm bulged with blood.

Yet, his opponent remained as steadfast as a mountain, his feet rooted firmly in place.

Out of the corner of his eye, Xu Junlin suddenly noticed that Li Guanqi's entire right arm was covered in a layer of fine, purple dragon scales!!!

Suddenly!

Li Guanqi slowly raised his left hand, a gesture that made Xu Junlin's mind tighten as if facing a formidable enemy.

Under his wary gaze, Li Guanqi's lips curled into a strange smile as he whispered.

"Do you know what?"

Xu Junlin frowned, unsure of what Li Guanqi was about to say.

"What?"

Li Guanqi slowly raised his left hand, and said calmly: "Actually..."

"I'm left-handed."

Boom!!!!

Li Guanqi's five fingers spread open as he slammed a palm towards Xu Junlin!!

Xu Junlin's pupils shrank, his expression stern with a hint of anger in his eyes.

It was the first time he had been provoked like this!

His right hand also opened, and he fearlessly struck out with his palm. The two palms collided, their fingers interlocked tightly.

Terrifying power erupted from the center of the two, spreading wildly in all directions.

The formations within the surrounding walls were almost instantly annihilated, the stone walls shattered, and the aftershocks of the explosive force spread outwards.

The ground crumbled, and the entire Cloud Cauldron Auction House shook violently, forcing the auction to be temporarily suspended.

Behind them, Qin Wushang looked grave, using his powerful spatial energy to suppress the area, preventing the entire floor from collapsing.

At this moment, the two began to wrestle, Li Guanqi's robes exploded, revealing a sturdy body covered in hideous scars.

His arms were dragonized, and dragon scales appeared, with tiny arcs of lightning flickering across them.

In just a breath, Li Guanqi's face also turned red.

Xu Junlin remained silent, his face turning the color of liver.

The power of the two was even more terrifying than that of a pure martial artist at the peak of the Composite Body Realm.

The knuckles of their interlocked fingers were slightly distorted, but the two tacitly agreed not to use any other means, simply wrestling with their physical strength.

This scene made Qin Wushang's throat twitch slightly as he swallowed hard.

It was the first time he had seen someone who could match Xu Junlin in a physical contest.

Li Guanqi, his face flushed, spoke first, enduring the pain of his flesh as he calmly said.

"Bidding is fine, but smashing the place is a bit much."

Xu Junlin stared intently at the guy in front of him, he knew that Li Guanqi was Xiao Chen's older brother!!!

And the reason he was injured was because of Xiao Chen. The scar on his cheek throbbed at the thought of that guy.

His spirit was also damaged during the last competition trial, otherwise he would not have come out of the Misty Immortal Realm to participate in the auction!

"Xiao Chen is your brother?"

Li Guanqi was slightly stunned, and the strength in his hand instantly lessened a lot.

Crack!!!

Xu Junlin frowned slightly, and after breaking Li Guanqi's finger, he also suddenly reduced his strength.

Li Guanqi's eyes narrowed as he looked at Xu Junlin: "You've seen him?"

When Xu Junlin heard this, he was even more annoyed, suppressing the anger in his heart as his chest heaved slightly.

"What do you mean I've seen him!! I see him every day, okay!!"

He pointed to the hideous scar on his cheek and said coldly: "This is what your good brother left behind."

Qin Wushang frowned. He knew very well how strong Li Guanqi's brothers were.

He even clearly remembered during the great battle three years ago that those guys had only just broken through to the Composite Body Realm.

Xu Junlin, ah, he is Xu Junlin, ah!!

That guy named Xiao Chen didn't show his strength, but he was able to hurt his opponent???

Wait a minute……

Qin Wushang couldn't help but ask: "Are you sure Xiao Chen injured you?"

Xu Junlin looked at Qin Wushang with the same look as if he were looking at an idiot, his eyes indifferent.

"If I say so, then it is. I, Xu Junlin, wouldn't be so embarrassed as to hide such a thing."

The two separated and stood facing each other, Li Guanqi suddenly smiled.

Hearty laughter echoed in the corridor, somewhat inexplicable, but it made several people feel that Li Guanqi was really happy at this moment.

But Xu Junlin experienced a very inexplicable emotion. There was no ridicule or mockery of him in this laughter.

It was more like……

Recognition of his strength, but also feeling happy because of his brother's progress.

For some reason, Xu Junlin suddenly envied Xiao Chen at this moment.

Envy him for having such a good brother who worried about him.

A look of dimness flashed in Xu Junlin's eyes. Even though his strength was monstrous, there was no one around him like Li Guanqi who felt happy for him.

After Li Guanqi finished laughing, he looked at Xu Junlin, clasped his fists and said softly: "Brother Xu, don't blame me, I don't mean to mock you at all."

After speaking, Li Guanqi took out a Zijin jade box from his backhand and handed it to Xu Junlin with both hands.

He bowed slightly and handed over the jade box, his voice gentle and soft.

"My brother is a playboy, careless and a bit silly."

"I hope Brother Xu doesn't have too much hostility towards him, Xiao Chen is not bad by nature."

"As Xiao Chen's older brother, this Xuan Yuan Holy Soul Pill will be my gift."

Speaking of this, Li Guanqi suddenly looked up at Xu Junlin and grinned.

"Not an apology, it's his ability to hurt you, hahahahahahaha!"

Qin Wushang stood behind Li Guanqi, his lips twitching uncontrollably.

He spoke these words as he pleased, and it could be said that he was very sincere, saying whatever he thought in his heart.

If Li Guanqi said that this Xuan Yuan Holy Soul Pill was an apology, he would feel that Xu Junlin would feel better.

After all, being injured by a former unknown pawn, he even had to run to his older brother's auction house to spend hundreds of millions of spirit stones to buy pills.

This would make some arrogant strong people feel unhappy.

But what Qin Wushang didn't expect was that Xu Junlin, the cold-faced gun king who was always difficult to get along with among the candidates, actually showed a smile on his face.

He took the jade box in Li Guanqi's hand, without the imagined annoyance or any coyness, and accepted Li Guanqi's kindness very naturally.

On the one hand, it was because Li Guanqi's words were sincere, and on the other hand, it was because of the recognition of Li Guanqi's strength.

He could feel that Li Guanqi's aura was slightly floating now, and it was obvious that he had not fully recovered after being injured.

Xu Junlin stepped aside, letting go of the broken doorway, and said softly: "How were you injured?"

Li Guanqi nodded slightly, and when passing by Xu Junlin, his eyes intentionally or unintentionally swept over the old man sitting in the corner.

He said calmly: "I crippled Gu Yong."

Boom!

These short five words were like a thunderbolt that exploded in Xu Junlin's mind.

Gu Yong, the Pavilion Master of the Heavenly Mystery Pavilion!

A true Mahayana Realm cultivator.
