Insufficient balance

  "Crack——"

  A faint cracking of bones was mixed with the sound of breaking wind, and it came rushing towards me.

  Obviously Li Jiao was showing off, this slap was just a shock, and it seemed to be about to fall on Li Yi's body.

  Watching this astonishing palm, Li Yi's mouth corners couldn't help but rise with a faint smile.

  This move is extremely powerful, but it's just extremely powerful!

  With eyes narrowed, watching the trajectory of this palm strike, it seemed that this palm was about to land on his own chest. Li Jiao's facial expression became extremely excited, and the screams from the audience were also rising and falling...

  Several middle-aged men who were watching with narrowed eyes had a flash of color in their eyes, and they could naturally see that if this palm fell, Li Yi would not be able to get out of bed for at least half a month.

  "This Li Yi is indeed a useless person! He was defeated with just one move!"

  This voice almost simultaneously sounded in everyone's heart.

  But just as many people hadn't finished turning this idea over in their minds, Li Yi suddenly took a step forward on stage.

  It was just this one step, his figure slightly swayed, and Li Jiao's momentum-shocking palm actually swung past his face...

  "Hmph!"

  The gentle breeze lifted the hair on Li Yi's ears, but it couldn't cause him even a tiny bit of harm.

  His body was already on one side, Li Yi had flashed to Li Jiao's side, his hand casually swung back...

  "Bang——"

  A crisp sound, Li Jiao's face added a red palm print, a thread of fresh blood seeped out from the corner of his mouth, this slap made him dizzy, he absolutely did not expect that Li Yi could avoid his own move, and...and...he actually dared to give himself a slap!

  The crowd watching from below was also instantly petrified, and the excited expressions on each face froze in an instant. I guess everyone thought they had seen it wrong!

  But Li Jiao's face with a bright red palm print seemed to be silently telling the truth of everything.

  When Li Jiao turned around again, his face had already turned a ghastly pale.

  Li Yi didn't notice his expression, but calculated several times in his heart before nodding slightly.

  Although the method of cultivating Qi in this world is unusual, these low-level fighting skills seem to be not as powerful as I imagined. Did those strong people who created the fighting skills never think that if they only had power but couldn't hit anyone, it would be useless?

  "How is this possible?"

  "It must be a coincidence! It must be a coincidence!"

  The audience was silent for a moment before erupting into another uproar.

  Li Jiao was said to be the number one expert among the younger generation of the Li family, and yet he had used a mid-grade Xuanwu martial technique at their first meeting and still got slapped, which was something that no one could believe.

  It's clear to everyone that Li Yi didn't even use a few points of strength, let alone any fighting skills, and just casually slapped him.

  These young people naturally don't understand that a seemingly casual flash requires how much combat experience to be so precise, and even that light slap is not something anyone can casually throw out.

  But it fell into the eyes of those few Dou practitioners, and it was different again.

  After all, with Li Jiao's strength, if he used the Bone Shattering Palm, these fighters might not be afraid, but generally they would need to use a clumsy method of hard contact. However, Li Yi dodged it easily, which made their hearts filled with shock and uncertainty.

  That... must be just a coincidence.

  On stage.

  Li Jiao's face changed again and again, and he didn't know how much effort he used to restore his dignified demeanor. The palm print on his face was still bright red. He took a deep breath before saying in a low voice: "Brother Li Yi is indeed formidable. I was careless for a moment and suffered a small loss."

  Such behavior made Li Yi secretly shake his head.

  This Li Jiao, although on the surface he says he suffered a small loss, what his true thoughts are in his heart, I'm afraid even those with discerning eyes can see through it. With such an air of arrogance and self-conceit, yet so wasteful, even if he achieves something in the future, it will be very limited.

  "Alright, alright." Li Yi smiled slightly, "Otherwise, let's just stop here for today...... Big Brother, your martial arts skills are so powerful, I don't have the ability to continue, earlier I just happened to dodge it, otherwise at this moment I would be lying on the ground and unable to get up."

  Li Jue hummed and said, "Brother Li Yi, you won't forget the rules of our Li family, will you? If we get on the stage, if there's no winner or loser, then we can't get off...... From now on, I'll be serious, Brother Li Yi, you must be careful!"

  "How can I get off this stage if it's a draw today?!"

  This sound echoed in Li Jiao's heart, he suddenly took a deep breath, and his full chest of shame and anger had all turned into murderous intent.

  He raised both hands slightly at the same time——

  "Xuanwu High Rank: Seven Revolving Slashes!"

  "Hiss——" The entire audience let out a collective gasp, previously although Li Jiao had said that he practiced the high-level martial art of Xuanwu, but who would have thought that it was actually the Seven Spin Slash!

  Seven Slashes, High-Rank Xuanwu Fighting Technique! Each refinement adds one more slash, and when refined to the highest level, it can have seven slashes, with a power comparable to that of Zhuque's low-rank fighting technique.

  Only he didn't know, Li Jue had already practiced these seven spinning slashes to which spin.

  Li Jiao's hands moved swiftly like a phantom, and with his movements, a fiery red aura slowly emerged between his palms. Apparently, Li Jiao's cultivation method was the family's internal transmission of the Xuanwu High-Rank Technique, Huoyun Decree. It is said that after mastering this technique, the flames would surge between moves, and if someone weaker were to encounter it, they would likely be burned to a crisp in just a few exchanges.

  One rotation, two rotations...

  As Li Jue's movements accelerated, two more whirlpools of rapidly rotating air appeared on his palms. Finally, a third vortex materialized in the center of his palm, and with a swift movement, he pounced towards Li Yi!

  The air around his palm was constantly churning, and faintly visible were waves of turbulent flow dancing...

  "It's actually the third turn!"

  It was unclear who in the audience let out the first cry of surprise.

  To know that these seven spinning slashes can condense into three in the space of a finger snap, then their power is already incredibly great.

  It's just that this fighting technique consumes a lot of Dou Qi, although Li Chuan has already cultivated the Nine Crystal Yuan Qi at this moment, but he hasn't condensed out the Dou Qi vortex yet. How long can this move be used is really an unknown number.

  He slightly curled his lip, narrowed his eyes to look at the killing intent fluctuating between Li Jiao's hands, and suddenly smiled lightly, muttering: "It has some meaning."

  This time he didn't wait in place again, but instead pounced forward fiercely, as if to forcibly resist Li Jiao's move.

  "Boom——"

  Li Yi's left hand slightly blocked, just deflecting Li Jiao's fierce and powerful palm to one side. At the same time, his right hand swung again, backhanding a vicious slap!

  "Bang—"

  This time the crisp sound was even louder, Li Jiao was slapped with a palm and became dizzy, he only felt that his eyes were black in front of him, his feet were empty, and he fell to the ground.

  The crowd, who were originally ready to cheer, had lost even the strength to be surprised at this moment...

  Li Jiao was using a high-level technique of Xuanwu, but...but...he couldn't even withstand another slap from Li Yi?

  On the stage, Li Yi rubbed his hands and gazed at the two symmetrical palm prints on Li Jiao's face. He revealed a handsome smile and said calmly: "Big brother is indeed formidable, this skin is thick enough, I only slapped him twice and my palms are already sore. It seems that today's match is not going to work out, why don't you give me some face, big brother, and let me admit defeat?"

  After saying that, he also ignored Li Yu's pale face and lightly jumped down from the high platform, walking towards the gate.

  Li Jiao didn't get hurt, but at this moment he didn't even have the strength to crawl up. He just stared at Li Yi's back, his eyes filled with shock and fear!

  Is this still that useless younger cousin of mine?

  But this thought had just flashed through Li Yu's mind, and after a moment it had all turned into resentment.

  Li Yi! Even if you won this time by luck, but when the Clan Assembly comes, it won't be that easy!

  Li Jiao was resentful in his heart, while Li Yi was also secretly calculating with a slightly numb palm.

  The gap in their skills was a whole level apart, and the difference was indeed enormous. Just now, although he had only blocked Li Rou's palm, the counter-shock force had almost shattered his wrist.

  Apart from the fact that his physical strength was insufficient at this moment, Li Jue's last use of the high-ranking Xuanwu fighting skill might also be a reason.

  It wasn't until now that Li Yi vaguely understood why this so-called martial art seemed to have no specific moves, but rather relied solely on the use of internal energy. He estimated that in the early stages of practicing this martial art, one would need to expend a certain amount of mental effort to control it properly, and forming specific moves was probably not going to be easy.

  Although I don't know about advanced martial arts, at least in the Xuanwu stage of martial arts, there shouldn't be any moves...

  Although this fighting technique has some power, it can't help but be a bit rough and unrefined. In Li Yi's eyes, it's just a powerful technique that lacks finesse, like a barbarian who only knows how to swing his club wildly. Having great power is one thing, but if you can't hit your target, what's the point?

  So be it if I don't learn myself!

  If Li Jiao knew that his hard-earned high-level martial arts skills, which also put his family at risk of being affected by the backlash, were dismissed by Li Yi as "not worth learning", he would probably be so angry that he could die from it...
