“I said that if you beat me, you can ask questions.”
Seeing Qing Xu appear, Yuan Jian Yi’s words carried a rare note of excitement. Obviously, his aim was to force Qing Xu to appear, otherwise even if Qing Huai was the last person to ask the question, there was no need to go so far as to target him and lay down a deadly hand.
With battle intent boiling in his eyes, the ordinary iron sword on Yuan Jian Yi’s hand gave birth to an intimidating sharpness; he, Yuan Jian Yi, would test Qing Huai’s strength today.
“How dare you challenge me?” A great anger arose in Qing Xu.
Granted, a leader of the Innate Realm like Yuan Jian Yi, who was now attempting to break through to the Divine Origin Realm had a great chance of success, and an ordinary Divine Origin Realm martial artist was no match for the current Yuan Jian Yi.
But was he Qing Xu an ordinary Divine Origin realm martial artist? He, Qing Xu, was also a pride of the heavens on the Dragon and Phoenix Rankings, and was only two places behind Yuan Jian Yi at the time.
The Innate Reverse Divine Origin was the supreme glory of the Innate Realm, and the supreme shame of the Divine Origin Realm. And now, Qing Xu was the divine element that Yuan Jian Yi wanted to reverse.
“Yuan Jian Yi, you seek death!”
With a furious voice, Qing Xu was the first to strike, his twin elephants coming out in unison, Shao Yin and Shao Yang cycling together to form a green dragon and a white tiger, whistling and rushing towards Yuan Jian Yi who stood in awe.
The twin elephants brought forth an extremely powerful wave of Qi, causing many of the Innate Realms present to retreat frequently to avoid the overwhelming power.
Only a very few profound people were able to stand still and watch this rare battle.
Among them, the one who was hidden in the crowd, who was reflected in the “Turtle Mirror”, caught Qing Yu’s attention.
“Chop!”
Faced with this move that transcended the realm, Yuan Jian Yi did not dodge or evade, his sword Qi rose up and blazed with sword light, striking straight at Qing Yu’s double elephant phasing move.
The sword light encountered the power of the twin elephants, and the light diminished greatly, as if it could hardly support itself. After all, the true qi of the Divine Origin realm is aided by the newborn Divine Origin, and the quality of true qi may not necessarily have increased greatly, but the power of the true qi is not comparable to that of the Innate Realm, as it can be transformed as one wishes and driven like an arm.
This is especially true of Qing Xu’s Double Elephant Double Life move, which tests the manipulation of true qi the most, and under the manipulation of spiritual power, the driving of true qi is far from that of the Innate Realm. The power, moreover, increased exponentially.
However, in the face of such a difficult situation, Yuan Jian Yi still did not give up, and the iron sword in his hand showed its sharpness, as if this broken sword, which could be found everywhere in a smithy, was a hidden divine weapon, and only now did it show its true form, revealing its power.
The sword’s light travels with a heavenly trajectory, like the stroke of a celestial being, as it strikes the Green Dragon and White Tiger, the two positions where the forces of Shao-Yin and Shao-Yang circulate and are born.
The keenness of Yuan Jian Yi’s mind is evident.
Shao-Yin and Shao-Yang, the Yang in Yin and the Yin in Yang were mutually repelled and each dissipated after their circular twin births were cut apart by the sword.
“Bing-”
The iron sword of Yuan Jian Yi was of ordinary quality and could not withstand such a powerful collision, and after the sword cut through the twin elephants, it shattered with a thud and broke into several pieces.
The iron sword that had followed Yuan Jian Yi since his debut, defeating all kinds of opponents and placing him second on the Dragon and Phoenix Rankings, was thus shattered.
In just one move, Yuan Jian Yi’s sword shattered and ceased to exist.
At first glance, it appeared that Qingxu, an expert of the Divine Origin realm, had lived up to his name, but in fact, when Qingxu struck out in anger, Yuan Jian Yi’s iron sword shattered and he did not suffer the slightest injury himself.
The crowd present had also seen Yuan Jian Yi strike, his physical strength, no less than the iron sword, with or without this iron sword, did not have much effect on Yuan Jian Yi.
It was just a little sad to see this iron sword, which had been beside him and witnessed a legend, shatter.
However, Qing Yu, who was watching the battle from the side, was staring closely at the fragments of the iron sword scattered on the ground, his eyes full of suspicion.
If he remembered correctly, the last time he had fought with Yuan Jian Yi on the Heavenly Melting Mountain, he had already twisted the tip of the iron sword to the point where it almost broke.
And this shattered iron sword had an intact tip and no signs of correction.
Moreover, with Qing Yu’s eyesight, he could still remember the detailed appearance of that iron sword last time. That iron sword, although it had been tempered by Yuan Jian Yi’s true qi for many years and looked as good as new, yet after all, it had been used for a long time and was made of poor material and had wear and tear.
The broken iron sword, however, was completely new.
Furthermore, the Kendo Palace is all about “heart and sword communion”, and the heart of the sword and the sword have been communicating with each other with true qi for a long time, so the familiarity of the sword is very important.
It was a bit suspicious for Yuan Jian Yi to change his weapon like that.
“Yuan Jian Yi!”
Anger burned to the sky, and Qing Xu was already out of his mind.
Yuan Jian Yi had forced him to fight, and he had evenly matched him, a Divine Origin realm martial artist, in a single move, this was throwing his face into the ground.
Immediately, Qing Xu wanted to use his full strength to defeat Yuan Jian Yi in one fell swoop.
“Daoist Master Qing Xu, may I have your attention?”
The person who spoke out was the one that Qing Yu had been watching, clad in a dark blue cloak and wearing a hood, his true face was not seen.
When he took off his hood, everyone instantly recognised who he was. The only person with heavy pupils in his eyes was Qiao Baixuan.
Qiao Baixuan stroked his slightly white hair and said with a light smile, “Gentlemen, if we fight now, we should be careful of losing both sides and being taken advantage of by others.”
At these words, the crowd was astonished and their eyes swept around, watching the situation around them warily.
If it were anyone else, the crowd would not have been so alert, but Qiao Baixuan was the disciple of the Elder of Fortune and was well versed in the art of arithmetic, so he must have had a reason for saying that someone was sitting on the mountain watching the tiger fight.
However, Qing Xu was unwilling to let go of Yuan Jian Yi and said, “Brother Qiao said that someone is sitting on the mountain watching the tiger fight, so we should be careful. However, there is no way to deny the evidence that Yuan Jian Yi killed Xiao Cheng Ming, so we should first capture this person in case there are other victims.”
The evidence is overwhelming ——
The people are all clear-eyed, everyone can see that Xiao Chengming’s death on the banks of the Cui Ge River is full of suspicions, where is the evidence, Yuan Jian Yi is at best a suspect.
However, the crowd was not kind-hearted and did not have the heart to defend their rival, Qing Xu and Yuan Jian Yi were fighting each other and it was not themselves who would lose, so what was there to worry about.
“Daoist Master Qing Xu, in the opinion of Mister Qiao, Young Master Xiao should not have died at the hands of Young Master Yuan.”
“Then what proof does Brother Qiao have that the murderer was not Yuan Jian Yi.” Qing Xu still did not intend to let go of this opportunity to strike out openly and seriously injure Yuan Jian Yi.
“Evidence, metaphysical mathematics, believe it or not, it is difficult to have proof.” Qiao Baixuan shook his head and said.
“But I can’t find evidence, but I can find someone who can find evidence.”
Saying that, Qiao Baixuan reached out and pointed his hand in a certain direction among the crowd that was previously startled back by the Qi wave, “Two, can you come out and give me a hand?”
