C73 The Battle for the Spirit Realm
C73 The Battle for the Spirit Realm
When the fiery red light collided with the sword light formed by countless black curtains, it gave off a dazzling light that lit up the entire Martial Arts Hall.
A loud bang was heard, causing the entire Martial Arts Hall to shake. A powerful airflow that carried traces of destruction quickly scattered in all directions.
Two deep groans were heard from within the black fog. Loong Potian and Yunqing each took a few steps back, each step leaving deep footprints on the ground. They only managed to stabilize their bodies when they were at the edge of the arena.
The red light on the blue light in Yunqing's hand was much dimmer, but the red light in her eyes was even more intense! Loong Potian's face also twitched, and there was a trace of blood at the corner of his mouth. Around his body, the protective shield formed by inner strength also fluctuated intensely. Obviously, Loong Potian had suffered a small loss this time.
However, Loong Potian was not discouraged. Instead, his face was filled with excitement. He laughed loudly, "Awesome!"
Yunqing knew that her identity would definitely be exposed after using the Phoenix Nirvana, so she did not have much time left. Both of her hands formed a strange hand seal in front of her chest. A red light flashed in her eyes. Her body once again burst out with a powerful light. When the dazzling light was so strong that it could not be restored, Yunqing shouted and suddenly disappeared, just like the Fifth Palace Master who had suddenly disappeared from the arena. In an instant, she silently appeared beside Loong Potian.
Loong Potian, who was at the peak of the Qi Stage, naturally had a weak Divine Sense. When the battle began, Loong Potian's Divine Sense never left Yunqing's body. When she suddenly disappeared... Loong Potian was shocked. His eyes were heavy, and his body was glowing brightly. As he swung the black heavy sword, a golden sword light suddenly appeared. It was firmly spread around his body.
Seeing Yunqing suddenly appear beside him, he waved the heavy sword and with a flash of light, an incomparably powerful sword light that was dozens of feet long instantly slashed towards Yunqing.
Yunqing ignored the powerful sword light. Just as the sword light was about to hit her, her body suddenly disappeared again. At the same time, six figures of Yunqing appeared around Loong Potian and attacked him from six different directions.
All six of them were real shadows! Loong Potian could clearly feel this situation through his Divine Sense. There was no time for him to think too much. He stomped on the ground with his right foot and his whole body quickly spun and rose into the air. With every rotation, Loong Potian would slash out dozens of times. He completely neutralized Yunqing's attack.
The soul-stirring battle between the two had affected the hearts of everyone in the stands. Ye Bufan's hands were tightly clenched, and his inner strength covered his entire body. Once Yunqing was in danger, he would immediately step forward to save her!
Under the doubtful gazes of the four palace masters, Meng Lingfeng nodded with a solemn face and said, "Qin family!"
Qin family! It was a very simple word, but the impact it brought to the four hall masters was far greater than the intense battle on the arena! The thoughts in his heart were confirmed. However, no one was happy. Instead, they felt like they could not breathe.
"Second brother, you..." The Head Palace Master did not know what to say. His gaze once again paused on the arena. He was prepared to withdraw from the battle at any moment. If anything happened to Yunqing on the arena, then the Aoyun Sect's fate would be at its end.
Meng Lingfeng also had a bitter expression on his face. When Yunqing entered the Aoyun Sect, she was only at the sixth level of the Qi Stage. Who would have thought that she would advance to the top five of the Eighth Rank of Qi Stage in such a short period of time? Who would have thought that she would challenge Loong Potian because of Ye Bufan? Who would have thought that she, who was still at the Eighth Rank of Qi Stage yesterday, would be at the Ninth Rank of Qi Stage today? Under the activation of the secret skill, her strength was not weaker than Loong Potian's.
At this stage, both of them let go of their hands. If one of them couldn't stop attacking, it wouldn't be something that the Aoyun Sect could withstand, regardless of whether it was Loong Potian or Yunqing.
The other one was... One of the most likely disciples in the sect to break through to the Spirit Stage...
On the arena, Loong Potian and Yunqing's figures were separated once again from each other, and they took six steps back!
They were evenly matched!
Yunqing cast a sidelong glance at the five Palace Masters on the viewing platform. From their expressions, she could tell that they already knew her identity. Her heart sank as she said, "Senior brother, take my attack!"
Yunqing stomped her feet and the entire Martial Arts Hall actually trembled under this stamp. Yunqing's entire body soared into the sky and the surrounding air started to distort under the high temperature. Along with the green light in Yunqing's hand drawing a path in the air, a fire net formed by sword light appeared in front of Yunqing.
The sword aura burned the sky!
Following Yunqing's soft shout, the fire net suddenly rose into the air and grew with the wind. It enveloped the entire arena and sparks fell from the fire net. When it fell to the ground, after a cloud of green smoke, a bottomless hole immediately appeared on the ground. Yunqing, who was in the air, had a pale face. It was obvious that this attack had used up all of her strength.
Just as Yunqing rose into the sky with an earth-shaking momentum, Loong Potian also felt that Yunqing's attack was not simple. In the exchange just now, he had already felt that Yunqing's strength was not weaker than his after she had used her secret technique. Now that he was using his full strength, it was definitely not easy to block it!
Loong Potian gripped the heavy sword with both hands and kept swinging it in the arena. It was as if it was not a match but Loong Potian himself performing a sword technique!
The heavy sword brought out a dense golden light wherever it passed, and the heavy sword flashed. The golden light condensed and did not dissipate. It stopped on the arena, and continued to dance with Loong Potian's heavy sword. The golden light that stopped in the air also became more and more. Gradually, the golden light was connected by Loong Potian's continuous waving. It looked like an eight-trigram pattern!
"Single Slash of the Universe!" Loong Potian shouted.
A flash of light flashed across the eyes of the Great Hall Master on the grandstand when he saw the pattern formed by Loong Potian's sword light. His face was filled with joy, but it was soon replaced by worry.
Ye Bufan also saw the pattern drawn by Loong Potian, and he couldn't help but worry. The Eight Trigrams pattern represented the understanding of the Dao. It meant that Loong Potian was only a step away from the Spirit Stage, and this strike had already exceeded the scope of the expert at Qi Stage. All the nerves in his body couldn't help but tense up.
After the Eight Trigrams pattern was completed, Loong Potian formed a seal with both hands. The pattern slowly rose into the sky without a sound. It did not contain any Qi, just like a kite flying into the sky! But Ye Bufan could vaguely feel it. As the pattern rose into the sky, a force in the air was being continuously absorbed by it.
But everyone knew that the Eight Trigrams pattern definitely contained a great amount of power.
At this moment, the fire net in the sky slowly descended. Everyone stood up and waited for a world-shaking strike. Everyone could faintly smell the scent of destruction in their breaths...
Just as the fire net and the Eight Trigrams diagram were about to collide, Yunqing and Loong Potian's hand seals suddenly changed again. Yunqing, who was in the air, spat out a mouthful of blood onto the fire net!
Buzz... With a sound, the blood and the fire net instantly turned into a cloud of fog. At the same time, the fire net once again flourished. Everyone on the viewing platform could clearly feel the searing pain coming from their skin.
Loong Potian also waved his hand and the heavy sword in his hand was instantly inserted into the Eight Trigrams pattern. The dark heavy sword instantly turned into a golden light and disappeared into the Eight Trigrams pattern.
"Not good!" The Great Hall Master shouted and disappeared from his seat.
When the other four people realized that something was wrong, the Head Palace Master had already disappeared. At the same time, he disappeared from where he was...
At the same time that the Head Palace Master disappeared, Uncle Jian's figure had already appeared between the fire net and the golden light! His hands moved up and down, and wrapped in a thick green light, he faced the fire net in the sky and the Eight Trigrams pattern below!
At the same time, the Great Hall Master also appeared thirty feet away from the Great Hall Master. Facing the sudden appearance of the Sovereign at Spirit Stage, the Great Hall Master was also shocked in his heart. He repeatedly slashed out two huge palm prints, one above and one below.
Then, the Great Hall Master waved his right hand, and the natural energy in the surrounding air instantly formed a powerful palm print. It pushed forward and attacked Uncle Jian.
Uncle Jian pushed out two balls of green light from his hands, one above and one below.
Then, he raised his hand and struck at the palm print that the Great Hall Master was attacking with! A loud bang was heard. It was unknown whether it came from the fiery net in the sky or the Eight Trigrams pattern below. It was also the most powerful attack of Uncle Jian and the main hall master. Yunqing and Loong Potian's figures shot out of the arena and were wrapped by a gentle force and fell to the ground.
The six figures on the arena intertwined together. They kept changing at a speed that no one could see clearly. Other than the continuous explosive sounds that could prove that a century battle was happening, there was nothing else that they knew about.
Boom... Boom... Boom...
Five loud sounds were heard in a row, and the arena had long disappeared. The roof of the Martial Arts Hall was lifted up, and six figures separated from each other.
Uncle Jian was wearing a green robe, and his sleeves were fluttering in the wind. He stopped in midair, and the drizzle that fell from the sky seemed to be blocked by a layer of invisible force, which separated him naturally.
The five Palace Masters, Uncle Jian, were tightly surrounding him, and the drizzle was also unable to enter a few meters in front of them...
"My friend, you are quite skilled. May I know why you have come to the Aoyun Sect?" The main hall master, who was in a hurry just now, had already faintly guessed the identity of the other party. Naturally, he was much more polite when he spoke.
Uncle Green Robed Sword scanned Yunqing with his Divine Sense and found that she was fine. He raised his brows and said, "Didn't Sect Master Zhang already guess my identity?"
Uncle Sword's words caused the expressions of the five Palace Lords to change. As a Sect Master, it was naturally impossible for the Palace Lord to remain silent at this moment. He glanced at Yunqing, who was being held by Ye Bufan, and glared at Meng Lingfeng. He cupped his fists and said, "I think you have been a guest of Aoyun Sect for quite some time now. I have just seen you today. Aoyun Sect is a bit rude!"
Although he had some concerns about the strength of the Qin family, he knew nothing about it after being hidden in the Aoyun Sect for such a long time. The Great Master also felt that the dignity of the Aoyun Sect had been challenged, and he couldn't help but feel angry in his heart.
As a cultivator, Uncle Jian naturally knew where the fury of the Head Palace Master came from. But what he had done was understandable. However, he had seen that the Aoyun Sect had treated Yunqing quite well. He did not want to be bullied by others, so he cupped his fists and said, "My duty is to offend you. Please forgive me, Sect Master Zhang!"
