The reason Qi Xuansu dared to make such a promise was not because he was arrogant, but because he was confident in his chances of defeating that scholar, who was a Diviner.0

If the scholar continued to hide in the dark as before, Qi Xuansu would not be able to deal with him. However, since they had already invaded the stronghold of the Lingshan Witch Cult, the scholar had nowhere to hide. Qi Xuansu would be able to kill the Diviner in close combat.0

The Martial Arts Practitioner’s blood qi was a strong existence that could restrain illusory spells. Therefore, once a Martial Arts Practitioner approached a physically weak Diviner, the former could break the latter’s spells with his blood qi. Thus, in close combat, a Diviner would die easily against a Martial Arts Practitioner.0
