Duan Tianxiao released a pressure that felt almost tangible, transforming into an invisible cage that firmly trapped Chen Li.
Chen Li let out a muffled groan, feeling as if a thousand-pound boulder was pressing down on his shoulders, causing his legs to tremble slightly. He gritted his teeth, desperately resisting this terrifying force.
"Mystic Boundary!" A voice in the crowd gasped in disbelief. The Mystic Boundary was a realm that countless martial artists dreamed of reaching; in the entire Qian Sheng Empire, there were hardly a few who could attain it!
"Kid, Old Madam doesn't want to hold your talent against you, but don't seek your own death," Duan Tianxiao coldly regarded Chen Li, as if looking at an ant. "You want to kill him? Unless you can break through Old Madam's pressure barrier!"
Chen Li's gaze was as cold as a blade, piercing straight at Duan Tianxiao. He remained silent, but the stubbornness in his eyes clearly indicated his determination.
"Brother!" Shen Qingyue anxiously tugged at Chen Li's sleeve, wanting to dissuade him. Although she was the reincarnation of the Empress, she understood that with their current cultivation levels, facing a Mystic Boundary Cultivator was beyond their capability.
However, Chen Li's expression showed no sign of wavering. He took a deep breath and poured all his Vital Energy into the spirit sword in his hand without reservation.
His resolute voice rang out: "Yue'er, this concerns our mother's and grandfather's dignity; we cannot retreat even a fraction!"
Buzz! The spirit sword seemed to sense his awakening and trembled violently, emitting a clear sword cry. A brilliant light surged from the blade, and its three-inch sword aura transformed into a dazzling stream of light that shot straight at the guard!
"Overestimating yourself!" Duan Tianxiao snorted coldly, a trace of disdain flashing in his eyes. With this pressure barrier, not even a mere Chen Li could hope to shake it, let alone ten more!
But in the next moment, the contempt on Duan Tianxiao's face froze. He saw that beneath the radiant sword light, fine cracks had begun to appear in his pressure barrier!
How is this possible?!
A storm surged within Duan Tianxiao's heart. This kid only had the strength of an Innate Realm second layer; how could he possibly break through his Mystic Boundary pressure?!
At this moment, Chen Li was not deterred. He felt like a small boat struggling against a raging storm, on the verge of capsizing at any moment. His internal organs felt as if they were being crushed by an invisible hand, causing excruciating pain.
Bean-sized sweat beads rolled down from his forehead, his complexion turning as pale as paper, with a trace of blood oozing from the corner of his mouth. Yet he did not give up!
The spirit sword in his hand shone even brighter, its sword light becoming more condensed and sharper!
Crack!
Finally, under Chen Li's nearly frenzied urging, Duan Tianxiao's pressure barrier shattered!
Puff!
Chen Li spat out a mouthful of fresh blood and staggered backward, but a victorious smile appeared on his face.
Duan Tianxiao's expression darkened; as a royal elder, he could not believe that his formidable pressure had been broken by a mere child. How could he save face after this?!
"You little brat, if you insist on killing, you will pay a painful price!" Duan Tianxiao's voice was as chilling as the coldest ice from the depths of hell, sending shivers down one's spine.
In response to him was only a cold voice.
"Those who insult my mother shall die!"
With a flash of sword light, blood splattered!
The guard didn’t even have time to scream before Chen Li's sword pierced his throat!
Blood stained the bluestone ground, and the air was thick with the pungent smell of blood.
Duan Tianxiao's face turned ashen, as if he had swallowed a fly. How could he endure being humiliated in public by a six-year-old child?
"You seek death!" Duan Tianxiao roared, his thick Vital Energy surging toward Chen Li like an overwhelming tide.
At this moment, Chen Li was already exhausted; facing this pressure, he could barely move, watching helplessly as that terrifying force enveloped him.
"No!" Shen Qingyue screamed and rushed in front of Chen Li without hesitation, her Vital Energy surging as she attempted to block this fatal blow for him.
"Yue'er, get away!" Chen Li shouted in desperation.
Even with Shen Qingyue's cultivation level, she could not withstand Duan Tianxiao's Mystic Boundary attack!
Duan Tianxiao's strike was about to land.
In this critical moment, a figure appeared like a ghost in front of the Chen siblings, blocking Duan Tianxiao's attack head-on.
A figure staggered, a soft groan escaping their lips as blood trickled from the corner of their mouth. They fell limply to the ground but managed to hold themselves upright.
"Mother!" Chen Li and Shen Qingyue exclaimed in unison.
The person was none other than their mother, Shen Wanzhou.
"Duan Elder, this was my son's impulsiveness. I beg you to spare his life!" Shen Wanzhou's face was pale, yet she endured her injuries and bowed deeply to Duan Tianxiao.
Spare his life? Who do you think you are to negotiate with Old Madam? Duan Tianxiao laughed in anger, his eyes glinting coldly. He killed my Royal Guard; the crime is unforgivable. No one can save him!
System, come out! I'm going to die! Chen Li thought frantically as he watched the scene unfold, calling for the system in his mind. But this time, there was no response, as if it had vanished completely.
At that moment, Shen Wanzhou suddenly knelt on the ground, pleading, "Duan Elder, if you spare my son, I am willing to offer you our family's secret Vitality Formula!"
Vitality Formula? Duan Tianxiao raised an eyebrow, a glimmer of interest flashing in his eyes.
Vitality is a sacred medicine for healing wounds and holds an irresistible allure for cultivators. The Shen Family had reportedly made a fortune from it in recent years. If he could obtain the formula, it would be quite beneficial.
"Is that true?" Duan Tianxiao asked in a deep voice.
Absolutely! Shen Wanzhou quickly pulled out a yellowed scroll from her robe and presented it with both hands. "This is the Vitality Formula; please take a look, Duan Elder!"
Duan Tianxiao reached out and took it from her grasp. He carefully examined the scroll, and a hint of ecstasy appeared in his eyes.
Suppressing his excitement, he stored the scroll in his Storage Spirit Bag and then turned his gaze to Chen Li, saying coldly, "You may escape death, but you cannot evade punishment! Since you Little Beasts are so bloodthirsty, you shall go to the Demon Spirit Abyss for some training!"
"Demon Spirit Abyss?" Shen Wanzhou's expression changed drastically. "Duan Elder, please reconsider! The Demon Spirit Abyss is extremely dangerous; my son is still young—how can he go to such a place?"
The Demon Spirit Abyss is located on an isolated island above the Broken Abyss, surrounded by raging winds and connecting the Demon Spirit World with the human realm—one of the most perilous places on the entire continent! Sending Chen Li there would be akin to sentencing him to death!
Hmph! Old Madam's word is final; this is how it will be! You may leave now!
Duan Tianxiao snorted coldly and waved his hand, an invisible force throwing the members of the Shen Family out of the Imperial Academy's gates.
