Chapter 622: Fighting Feng Qingxiao!
"You dare kill someone from my Ironblood Sect? Die!"
Then, an incomparably cold voice rang out.
Immediately afterward, the terrifying large hand suddenly descended toward Li Yun, striking down with a slap. An incredibly horrifying force erupted instantly.
This power was simply too terrifying. Compared to it, Jian Wuhen’s so-called army of one hundred thousand evil spirits seemed like a child’s toy, not worth mentioning at all.
Boom!
The terrifying palm grabbed down at Li Yun from the air. Without a doubt, if he were caught by this palm, Li Yun would be crushed into flesh paste.
"How audacious!"
At the same time, an angry roar suddenly sounded.
Then, the figure of the red-bellyband child suddenly emerged, his face full of rage as he shouted, "How dare you act so insolently on my territory?"
The red-bellyband child wore an angry expression as his hands swiftly formed a series of hand seals. Immediately, beams of white light rose from all around the Floating Island, quickly converging together and pressing toward the terrifying giant hand.
Boom!
The terrifying giant hand collided with the white light. Although it was only a brief contact, it felt as if the heavens were collapsing and the earth was splitting apart, causing the entire Floating Island to tremble slightly.
"Very well. I will give you some respect."
A cold voice rang out.
Then, the terrifying giant hand retracted. In just a few breaths, it completely vanished as if it had never appeared.
The sky cleared once more.
"What a terrifying hand..."
"Just a single hand made it difficult for me to even breathe. What kind of technique was that?"
"Is this the power of the Ironblood Sect? This is too terrifying. Even a Heavenly Core Realm expert probably is not this formidable. Could that have been a giant of the Spirit Manifestation Realm?"
Although the terrifying hand had disappeared, the mood of the crowd became even heavier.
A hand reaching from an unknown distance had possessed such terrifying power. What level of expert must its owner be?
If not for the artifact spirit of the Floating Island, all of them would have been crushed to death by that hand.
"Alright. With me here, no one from the outside can interfere."
The red-bellyband child spoke calmly. "Now, the challenge continues."
Whoosh!
In the next moment, Li Yun’s figure appeared directly on the first small floating island. The master of this small floating island was none other than Feng Qingxiao, who ranked first on the Earth Ranking.
The red-bellyband child’s words pulled everyone’s attention back.
Only then did they remember that after defeating Jian Wuhen, Li Yun had only one opponent left.
Feng Qingxiao.
If he could defeat Feng Qingxiao, Li Yun would achieve ten consecutive victories and directly advance to the sixth floor of the Floating Island.
"Li Yun, I admit your strength is enough to be called the top expert within this Floating Island."
Feng Qingxiao’s wrist was as pale as white jade, and a light purple bell hung from it. She said calmly, "For this battle, let us decide the outcome with a single move. If you can withstand this move of mine, you win."
"Agreed."
Li Yun nodded, his expression calm.
Although he had just experienced a fierce battle with Jian Wuhen and expended considerable energy, his Sword Intent had reached a higher level. Overall, his strength had actually improved compared to before.
Facing Feng Qingxiao, he naturally felt no fear.
"Wind Bell Motion!"
Feng Qingxiao let out a light shout, and her pale wrist shook rapidly. The bell moved faster and faster until it became a blur. Countless purple beams shot out from the bell, reaching a total of three hundred beams.
Three hundred purple beams erupted at the same time, bathing the entire small floating island in purple light. It was like a purple curtain descending toward Li Yun.
"Ten Thousand Slaughter Sword Art, Ten Thousand Slaughters Return to One!"
Li Yun also struck. He used the full power of Slaughter Sword Intent together with Ten Thousand Slaughter Sword Art.
A wave of slaughter qi slashed toward Feng Qingxiao.
Swoosh!
The purple curtain was instantly torn apart. The sharp Sword Qi surged like a dragon’s breath, stopping abruptly just before it reached Feng Qingxiao.
"Li Yun, you win."
Feng Qingxiao did not seem surprised by this outcome. She shook her head and directly admitted defeat.
Thus, Li Yun achieved ten consecutive victories, defeating every opponent on the fifth floor.
"He succeeded! Li Yun actually succeeded!"
"It is unbelievable. Who would have thought that Li Yun could reach the sixth floor of the Floating Island with only 1st level Earthly Core Realm cultivation?"
"He truly is a rising star comparable to Yan Wuhen. Perhaps in a few years, Li Yun will truly have the qualifications to rival Yan Wuhen."
Although they had mentally prepared themselves, the crowd still could not help marveling.
To be honest, before this, no one had believed anyone could reach the sixth floor of the Floating Island. Even Feng Qingxiao had only possessed a slim chance, and that chance had still been extremely remote.
After all, even during the peak of the Skyvoid Sect’s glory, only three people had ever reached the sixth floor of the Floating Island.
Among those three, even the weakest had reached the Spirit Manifestation Realm. In other words, barring accidents, Li Yun’s future attainment of the Spirit Manifestation Realm or even higher levels was practically guaranteed.
Looking at Li Yun, they felt as if they were witnessing a new martial star rising before their eyes.
Whoosh!
At that moment, a beam of light enveloped them. In an instant, Li Yun and the red-bellyband child appeared together inside the Treasure Hall.
This Treasure Hall was ten times larger than the one Li Yun had seen before, and the number of treasures inside was also ten times greater.
"Little brother, congratulations on becoming the fourth genius to reach the sixth floor of the Floating Island."
The red-bellyband child chuckled. "As agreed, you may select two treasures from this highest Treasure Hall. In addition, because of your outstanding performance, you may choose one extra treasure. That means you can select three treasures here in total."
"Three treasures?"
Hearing this, Li Yun raised an eyebrow, feeling pleasantly surprised.
The Floating Island had originally been established by the Skyvoid Sect to select core disciples. Those who reached the sixth floor were rare super-geniuses even for a major force like the Skyvoid Sect. Naturally, the treasures in this highest Treasure Hall prepared for such geniuses were extremely valuable.
Being able to choose one treasure here was already a rare opportunity. Being able to choose three was a great opportunity that would make countless others envious.
