Chapter 228: On the verge of breaking out, Li Ye fights Xiang Kunlun

What a great struggle, what a system of checks and balances.

But no matter what, the clarion call of war has been sounded, and the conflict is about to begin!
A few days passed in a flash, a few suns rose and the moon set, a few days and nights alternated, and the day of the decisive battle between Li Ye and Xiang Kunlun had arrived.

A huge arena was built in the Hall of Heroes early on specifically for the duel between the two. This arena was extremely spacious and bright, making it convenient for Li Ye and Li Cunxiao, Xiang Kunlun and Xiang Yu, for both sides to give their all without being restricted by the venue.

As the night gradually fades, the eastern skyline begins to turn a light blue, and gradually, a touch of pink quietly appears. This color change indicates that a new day is about to begin. The earth is still shrouded in a layer of faint morning mist, adding a bit of mystery and tranquility.

The clouds on the horizon were gradually dyed with golden edges. The sun was like a shy artist, showing its work to the world without haste. When the first ray of sunlight broke through the horizon, the whole world seemed to be lit up. The sunlight gradually became stronger, from soft pink to brilliant golden yellow. The light was spreading, bringing warmth and vitality.

At this time, the earth began to wake up gradually, birds began to sing happily and flew out of the woods, their chirping formed a sharp contrast with the tranquility of the early morning. Flowers also began to slowly open, as if welcoming the arrival of the rising sun.

The dewdrops on the grass sparkled in the sunlight, like pearls scattered on the tips of the grass.

But at this moment, the arena was already bustling with activity.

A large number of heavily armored soldiers, fully armed with swords, spears, axes and halberds, were standing by in full battle readiness, with a neat military appearance and a calm aura, like a giant steel beast crawling around the arena.

A large number of members of the Hall of Heroes sat in the audience. Except for a small number of members who were on missions outside, almost all members of the Hall of Heroes gathered together at this moment to witness the final destiny of the next commander-in-chief of the Hall of Heroes.

Lu Shuyu sat high up in the main seat, with the Spirit Realm envoys Yi Ze and Yi Yan on either side, and many officials and generals from the Hall of Heroes next to him. Almost all those sitting on the left were supporters of Li Ye, including Wu Suqin, Li Yunlong, Li Qingmu, Yang Tianyu, Gao Chong, Wang Wulong, Wang Sheng, Li Gaoyang, Hua Ling, Yuchi Lietang, Yang Luoqi, Yan Xi and others.

On the right side, almost all those sitting were those who supported Xiang Kunlun, including Qin Wanggong, Fan Ziyun, Xiang Ming, Hua Yu, Yang Tianze, Wu Renlong, Lin Leilang, Yang Mie, Li Gucheng, Wuliangha Shanwang, Li Heixiong, Song Rentou and others.

Both sides are full of confidence in their lords. In the minds of Qin Wanggong and others, Xiang Kunlun is the living overlord. He has never lost since his debut. How can this young man, who is still wet behind the ears, compete with King Xiang? Overlord Xiang Yu has traveled across the underworld and has never met an opponent. Who can defeat him?
In the minds of Yang Tianyu, Gao Chong and others, Li Ye is an unparalleled genius and a natural prodigy. There has probably never been anyone in the underworld who can match his talent since its birth. He must be destined to succeed, so he will naturally move forward. Even the so-called Xiang Yu is just a poor loser. How can a loser defeat His Highness?
Not long after, a majestic figure slowly walked onto the stage. It was a burly man.

The man had broad shoulders, long arms, a strong back and strong waist, and was nearly two meters tall, giving people the feeling of being able to block out the sky and the sun.

His face was very handsome and revealed a determined look. There was a streak of blue paint under each of his eyes, making him look a little mysterious.

He carries a three-meter-long Fang Tian Hua Ji on his back. Every step he takes seems to make the ground shake. His strength is unfathomable!
There is unparalleled dominance in his every move, and his powerful aura makes people feel extremely oppressive.

He walks like a dragon and a tiger, with a tall and strong body. Even before he arrives, his domineering aura is already overwhelming.

The man was wearing a magnificent black gold dragon and tiger armor, with several red ribbons fluttering behind him. His face was cold and resolute, his eyebrows were sharp and his eyes were bright. There was a dark blue vertical line on each cheek, making him look more heroic and domineering.

It is the owner of the most powerful human martial spirit, King Xiang Kunlun!
At the same time, another contestant, Xiang Kunlun's opponent, Li Ye, also slowly walked onto the stage.

The young man was dressed in military uniform, covered with golden dragon-patterned armor. Under the sunlight, the armor shone with dazzling light, as if indicating his destined extraordinary destiny as a king. His aura was powerful, like a royal noble, which was not only reflected in his attire, but also in his sword-like eyebrows, star-like eyes and beautiful appearance. Under his handsome face, his eyes flashed with unparalleled dominance and unconcealable confidence, as if everything was under control. Every step revealed the true nature of a king. His steps were firm and powerful, as if the earth would also surrender under his feet. His existence seemed to set a new order for the world. His natural kingly demeanor made people involuntarily feel his unshakable majesty and determination to move forward courageously.

Xiang Kunlun looked at Li Ye, and Li Ye also looked at Xiang Kunlun.

The two looked at each other from a distance and confronted each other secretly.

In Li Ye's perception, an extremely domineering aura came towards him, like a pitch-black dragon, roaring and shaking the heaven and earth!

Feeling Xiang Kunlun's momentum and pressure, Li Ye remained calm, his face as calm as a lake, and looked at him quietly.

In Xiang Kunlun's perception, Li Ye was like a calm lake, without any ripples. However, beneath the deep water, there seemed to be a dragon hidden in the abyss, which could jump out of the water at any time and anywhere, running around the world and roaring at the universe.

For a moment, the purple-gold true dragon and the pitch-black dragon confronted each other in the air.

The purple-gold dragon is mysterious, noble, profound and mysterious.

The pitch-black dragon, with a dark and eerie glow, roared to the sky.

As the two men confronted each other, the atmosphere on the field became increasingly heavy and depressing.

There was a faint sound of a dragon's roar, and the confrontation between the two men reached its climax in an instant. The sky and the earth were dim, and even the patrolling and guarding Yin soldiers seemed to feel as if the sky was falling and the earth was collapsing. They felt extremely depressed and were all horrified.

The spectators on the sidelines also felt like they were sitting on pins and needles, as if they were being suffocated by a python.

Li Ye spoke first:

"Brother Kunlun, today, let's see who is better!"

Xiang Kunlun showed no sign of weakness and said domineeringly:

"The world cannot accommodate two kings. Today, let's see who is more qualified to be the king of the world!"

Xiang Kunlun was well aware of Li Ye's powerful strength, and also knew the power of his guardian spirit Li Cunxiao, one of the strongest human spirits in the world. Xiang Kunlun hoped that Li Ye could join his camp, so Xiang Kunlun tentatively extended an invitation to Li Ye.

"Li Ye, you are a rare talent in the world. Join my team. I can give you a position second only to me. From now on, I will be the boss of the Hall of Heroes, and you will be the second in command of the Hall of Heroes. As for the conflicts and disputes between us in the past, they will be written off!"

When Li Ye heard Xiang Kunlun's invitation, he just laughed. It was already this time, and he was still thinking of getting him to join?

"Xiang Kunlun, it seems that you are the foolish one. You said it yourself that there is no room for two kings in the world. You should know who I am a descendant of. Do you think I would be willing to be inferior to others?"

Xiang Kunlun is exactly the same as in the comics. He likes to win over others. This is completely different from his ancestor Xiang Yu. In the comics, he sent Shanwang to win over Sun Zhantian, and personally won over Cao Yanbing in Yulin Street.

However, he had never really thought about it: Would these people really be willing to obey him?
When Xiang Kunlun heard Li Ye's words, he raised his eyebrows and said lightly:

"Haha, that's right. After all, he is a descendant of Li Shimin, the Heavenly Khan. Of course he wants to be king, but there is no room for two kings in this world!" Xiang Kunlun pointed the Tianhuang Overlord Halberd in his hand at Li Ye and said domineeringly:
"In the end, I will be the Overlord, and you will be the turtle defeated by me!"

"Haha, what Overlord? He is nothing but a loser. Even Xiang Yu is nothing but a grain of rice compared to the bright moon in front of Emperor Taizong!"

Li Ye also responded to Xiang Kunlun without any hesitation. At the same time, the Longquan sword in his hand was unsheathed, and with a flash of golden light, it turned into a long spear.

An inch longer is an inch stronger; an inch shorter is an inch more dangerous. Xiang Kunlun used the Tianhuang Overlord Halberd, so Li Ye naturally also used a corresponding long weapon.

War is imminent!
Li Ye's fighting spirit continued to rise until it boiled and reached its peak! There is no doubt that Xiang Kunlun is a very strong opponent. Xiang Kunlun's talent is the best in the entire underworld. His strength is at the forefront in the entire Soul Street. He can be called the overlord in the world. There is no doubt that Xiang Kunlun is a hurdle on Li Ye's road to becoming a king, and it is a big hurdle. No matter what, Li Ye must defeat him!
"Then let's fight!"

Xiang Kunlun shouted loudly, and just as he finished speaking, the Tianhuang Overlord Halberd in his hand stabbed out instantly, extremely sharp and swift, like thunder and lightning. The speed of the Overlord Halberd was very fast, but Li Ye's super physique, which far exceeded that of ordinary spirit-hosting people, was even more abnormal. Li Ye dodged the attack by turning his body to the side, and the tip of the halberd passed by Li Ye's chest, almost brushing the edge.

This surprised Xiang Kunlun very much, he actually dodged it!
Anyone who has read the comics and watched the anime knows that if it were Cao Yanbing, he would be pierced through the chest by the halberd and hung in the air.

After dodging sideways, Li Ye swung out with the long spear made of the Seven-Star Dragon Spring. The power was so strong that Xiang Kunlun retreated quickly. At the same time, he raised the Tianhuang Overlord Halberd and drew an arc to resist the huge power coming, but he was still shocked and retreated three steps.

Xiang Kunlun felt Li Ye's terrifying power and couldn't help but exclaimed:

"What a strong force. But don't you usually use a sword? Why are you using a lance today?"

Xiang Kunlun felt a little curious about Li Ye's change of weapons. You know, if a person often uses a weapon and suddenly changes it, it will affect his strength.

Li Ye laughed when he heard this:
"My opponent is the world's greatest tyrant, so of course I have to use weapons that can rival him."

"That's right, after all, your opponent is me!"

Xiang Kunlun's domineering aura rose again, and he burst out with all his strength, sweeping across with the Tianhuang Overlord Halberd, with an astonishing power like sweeping across thousands of troops.

Li Ye thrust hard, carrying the force of thunder, towards the Tianhuang Overlord Halberd. In an instant, the two divine weapons collided. In an instant, a violent sonic boom sounded, deafening. A violent explosion occurred, and the ground within a hundred meters was cleared, leaving only a huge pit.

The violent fluctuations even made the surrounding audience feel a huge impact, and those who were weak were shaken all over.

The figures of Li Ye and Xiang Kunlun kept flashing and colliding, and the sound of weapons clanging continued.

The audience around were stunned. It was too strong and they couldn't see clearly. They could only see sparks constantly splashing everywhere, and the ground was constantly being blown away.

The two were too fast and the fight was too intense.

"Clang!"

It was another full-force collision. Both of them retreated, then quickly distanced themselves and confronted each other in the air.

But Li Ye suddenly disappeared from the spot, and the audience outside the venue had no idea where Li Ye was.

At this time, Xiang Kunlun moved!

Xiang Kunlun suddenly turned around and thrust out with his halberd, but seemed to be blocked by something and could not move forward. Everyone then realized that Li Ye had appeared behind Xiang Kunlun at some point, and the Seven-Star Dragon Spring Spear blocked the Tianhuang Overlord Halberd in Xiang Kunlun's hand.

Li Ye did not disappear just now, but he burst out with extreme speed with instant steps and instantly came behind Xiang Kunlun. Ordinary people would have been at a loss at such a speed, but Xiang Kunlun was not an ordinary person after all, and he still sensed Li Ye's location.

"This speed is so terrifying! If we face him, we will only get beaten!"

Many people on the sidelines sighed like this and thought secretly in their hearts.

Xiang Kunlun's fighting spirit also reached its peak, and his eyes were full of fanatical fighting spirit when he looked at Li Ye.

"Very good. I haven't encountered such a strong opponent in a long time. It's really satisfying!"

Xiang Kunlun shook his shoulders. At this moment, his spiritual power burst out with all his strength, and the second level of the Great Scorching Heat of Hell was fully revealed.

Li Ye saw that his surprise attack did not work and was blocked by Xiang Kunlun, but he was not discouraged at all. He exerted force with his left hand, and a huge force bounced Xiang Kunlun's Tianhuang Overlord Halberd away. Then he stabbed out with another spear, hitting Xiang Kunlun's chest!

Xiang Kunlun was not panicked either. He turned the Tianhuang Overlord Halberd at his wrist, brushed aside Li Ye's Seven-Star Longquan Spear, and swung the halberd downwards, slashing at Li Ye's shoulder.

Li Ye stepped on the ground with his left foot and kicked in the air with his right foot, causing Xiang Kunlun's Tianhuang Overlord Halberd to change direction.

Afterwards, Li Ye quickly widened the distance between the two.

"Have fun! Come again!"

Li Ye did not say anything. He held the Seven-Star Longquan Spear tightly with both hands, bent his right foot, and pushed the ground with force. The powerful force directly broke the ground into pieces, and dust filled the sky.

He pushed off the ground and galloped towards Xiang Kunlun, left foot and right foot, left side and right side, continuously changing his position and rhythm, leaving countless illusions and afterimages in the air, intending to disrupt Xiang Kunlun's rhythm and mislead his perception.

What a great shift!

When he was three meters away from Xiang Kunlun, Li Ye flew up and slashed at Xiang Kunlun with his spear.

However, Xiang Kunlun is a top-notch warrior after all, with outstanding talent, having fought in many battles, rich practical experience, and outstanding combat awareness. His rhythm was not disrupted by Li Ye and he reacted extremely quickly.
