*inhales*

GI. ME. PAWAH.)

——(POV third person, eternal wail trial)——

Li Huang wasn't stupid enough to not see the signs and he was too paranoid to not see the patterns. This so-called 'Guanyu the evil god' was not from his plane and only survived as a soul fragment after a battle that he had with a group of assailants.

Just thinking about it Li Huang could link some events together and come up with some theories.

'Guanyu probably sealed a part of his soul in the martial art that Jin Fen was training and that way he continued living even though he seemingly lost that battle.' Li Huang thought. If it is like that it would make sense for Jin Fen to act that way because Guanyu's soul was affecting him and his mentality.

'Guanyu didn't give that technique away, it was a trap to lure in a new body.' Just thinking about this Li Huang could imagine a reason or two for someone to target his life. Now the problem is that Li Huang knows that this Guanyu has no good intention toward him as he is one of the reasons that Jin Fen acted that way so he has to be careful.

Li Huang was sure of one thing, even if this Guanyu has shown himself to be powerful it is not his cultivation base as a soul doesn't have a Qi cultivation realm and this Guanyu is only a soul fraction. On the other hand, even if Guanyu is powerful right now the trial would most definitely throw him out as he is breaking a couple of rules by his existence.

This was just what Li Huang assumed but he didn't have much choice other than to put this to a test. Other disciples were yet to come here so Li Huang would have to fight this Guanyu by himself and because Guanyu attacked him first, there is no room for negotiation.

"I see. Why did you attack me?" Li Huang nodded and asked. He was trying to understand why this man had enmity with him. He could understand that Guanyu has used Jin Fen's arrogance to his advantage but he couldn't understand why he was coming after him.

Guanyu smiled weakly and nodded. His facial features were changing slowly as if he was molding the body to his liking.

"Hmmm, let me explain it like this, when you step on an ant do you need a reason for it? It is the same with me attacking you. I did so because I could." Guanyu said and spread his arms.

Li Huang couldn't help but laugh at this.

"Now I get why you and Jin Fen were compatible." Li Huang said. This level of looking down at others is something unique that only Jin Fen and Guanyu have shown.

"But you forgot something, even a horse will get eaten if he dares enter an ant's colony." Li Huang grinned and said. He was now sure that this Guanyu didn't have enough power to finish him off with a snap of his fingers so he was going to use all the treasures that he had to defeat him.

"Then let us test it." Guanyu also grinned. He had seen the world from Jin Fen's eyes and knew quite a bit about Li Huang so he didn't want to give him any chance to surprise him. What Li Huang assumed is true and Guanyu can't kill him as he needs to recover his cultivation first but he doesn't see a problem with this fight as he has an ace up his sleeves.

Guanyu has a technique that lets him have a high attack power for a short while and he will face a backlash after that, but now that he is almost powerless using that technique is the logical route to take.

In fact, the first attack that he had against Li Huang was the result of this technique's initial power and he was testing the power against Li Huang to see how he would fare in a fight.

Li Huang readied himself and planed the order of the treasures that he is going to use against Guanyu's attacks. He knew from the previous attack that he either has to dodge it or use a treasure or two to lessen the impact as he is not on that level to fight this type of enemy head-on.

Guanyu attacked Li Huang with a simple movement of his hand. An arc of Qi burst out toward Li Huang from the tip of Guanyu's fingers. He was still looking down on Li Huang as he was someone from a lower plane so he didn't go with any fancy technique to fight him.

By sending an arc to attack Li Huang, Guanyu wanted to minimize his chance of dodging this attack. Li Huang used the peeping eye of heaven to find a weak point to this attack as he didn't want to use all his treasures from the get-go.

Finding a couple of small flaws, Li Huang used some simple yet powerful attacks toward them and destabilized the arc and soon the Qi dispersed in the air and the attack didn't reach Li Huang.

Guanyu looked surprised and Li Huang looked disappointed.

"Come on, I know you can do better." Li Huang taunted Guanyu in a way that would make Cai ZhenKang proud. Li Huang knew from the way that Guanyu came out of [Mirror of reckoning] reflection, that he can not harm him but he had a better idea.

'I can't do anything to harm you as it is now but I won't let you harm me either…' Li Huang thought.

The corner of Guanyu's mouth twitched as he didn't think that Li Huang would dare to taunt him.

"You are lucky that I don't have my previous body…" Guanyu said and got ready to rip this insolent brat to shreds.

"Sure old man, whatever you say." Li Huang said and tried to tick off Guanyu. It is a cheap trick to try and gain an upper hand like this but Li Huang didn't care as long as he could somehow defeat Guanyu.

…

Li Huang knew that only a couple of minutes is left from the trial but that too was long when you are fighting a powered-up Guanyu who has decades of experience under his belt. Li Huang fought him for 3 minutes and he parried more than 100 attacks so you could say he was successful in pissing off Guanyu.

He could also send out a message to whoever was coming toward them to warn them about Guanyu. In all honesty, only the leaders and the vice leaders of the holy lands might have a chance at fighting Guanyu and keeping their lives for a while.

With this in mind, Li Huang told them to come together if they want to help so that they can have some sort of impact.

Hu Anjing, Li Wanrou and Cai ZhenKang were waiting for one or two more members so that they can attack Guanyu.

"You knew that I can sense your friends coming here, right?" Guanyu said as he wanted to crush Li Huang's spirit. He was stunned by the number of treasures and scrolls that Li Huang had as he never thought that someone would carry a vault with them. If it wasn't for the numerous countermeasures that Li Huang had in his arsenal, he would have turned to ashes in the first 30 seconds of this fight.

Li Huang knew why Guanyu was saying that so he didn't mind it much. Of course, he knew that Guanyu was aware of others that are going to come here but he also was aware of something else, the fact that Guanyu didn't do anything about it shows that he doesn't have enough energy to do so.

"And you know that I can see that your power-up is near its end?" Li Huang said. The fact that Guanyu is not thrown out of the trial showed him that he is using a technique to power up temporarily.

Guanyu was tired of this fight so he didn't waste any more time talking and attacked Li Huang multiple times. He was waiting for the moment that Li Huang uses the teleportation ring to surprise him.

Li Huang didn't use the teleportation ring so far but he decided to use it now as he was surrounded by attacks that rained on him.

But before he did, he first contacted Hu Anjing to tell her his plan.

~'Get here as soon as you can.'~ He sent this through the sound transmission, if his plan doesn't work, he will need every bit of help that he can get.
