In front of the grove, the blazing hot wind stopped in front of Qing Yu’s body, making it difficult for him to move an inch further.
The sudden rise of Qing Yu’s aura made Xuan Ming look pale.
“How is this possible?!”
Xuan Ming could not believe it, his opponent’s aura had already surpa*sed his own, and his sudden surge of power was also without a trace of instability, he could not see that it was raised by using secret techniques at all.
“Nothing is impossible.”
Qing Yu gently raised his sleeve and a storm of sword qi swept out, endless harsh sword qi weaving through the air, turning the surrounding space into an ocean of swords.
After many days of studying Xuanfa’s martial arts insights, Qing Yu’s comprehension of the Four Elephants Jutsu deepened, grasping the fundamental changes of Tai Yin, Sun, Shao Yin and Shao Yang, causing the original Golden Dan, which was just short of the threshold, to once again merit a turn, reaching the fifth turn of the Golden Dan.
With such power, coupled with the increase in earth essence absorbed by the Earth Buster Technique, it was only natural that Qing Yu’s power surpa*sed Xuan Ming’s.
“Red Sun in the Sky.”
Facing the endless tide of sword qi, Xuan Ming categorically shouted, his body like a red sun, rising up in the air.
The blazing heat in the air deepened, Xuan Ming’s surrounding body was like a furnace, scorching all external objects as he fiercely rushed towards the fierce tide of sword qi.
“—”
Without a sound, the sword qi encountered the red sun and was melted as quickly as if it were a real object, leaving only a puff of green smoke in the air.
“Some doorway.” Qing Yu still held Qiu Li in one hand, the other hand behind his back, slightly raising his eyes to look at the rampaging Red Sun.
The “Red Sky Refining Yang Diagram” of Chi Ming Feng specialized in the extreme fire dao, the most rigid and the most virile, which was really extraordinary.
However, compared to the light of the Great Sun that wiped out half of the castle, this round of red sun was only so-so.
“Fellow Daoist Qing Yu, receive this blow from me.”
As the red sun came flying, Xuan Ming’s hands closed in front of his chest, and fire energy continued to merge between them.
In the blink of an eye, the red sun wrapped around his body was completely incorporated into his palm, and a round of red hot sun floated between his palms.
“Refining Yang.”
Xuan Ming pushed his hands together, and the hot sun flew flatly.
“What a solid fire energy,” Qing Yu’s gaze was solid, his right hand hanging at his side behind his back, “but it’s not enough.”
A year or so ago, Qing Yu, who was only at the first turn of the Golden Elixir, had been hit hard by Xuan Ming in a moment of carelessness. At that time, although there were some unexpected factors, it was a fact that Qing Yu’s strength was inferior to others.
But today, Qing Yu’s Golden Elixir has turned into a fifth turn, and his strength is no longer the same as the old him. Although Xuan Ming was strong, Qing Yu at this moment was already better.
“Three points of Returning Qi.”
The watery sphere formed on Qing Yu’s raised right hand, the undulating sphere contained a vigorous and extremely powerful qi as well as incomparable power.
Reaching forward, with a grip of his right hand, the sphere of Yuan Qi expanded and opened up, enveloping Qing Yu in it.
“Boom…”
As soon as the two came into contact, there was a strong tremor as the two incompatible true qi fiercely collided, the red and water-coloured true qi setting off a storm of the same colour.
In an instant, the earth cracked beneath Qing Yu’s feet and countless rock blocks shook. The fiery storm ignited the small forest not far away, but was then extinguished by the rising tide of Yuan Qi.
“Boom…”
With another loud bang, Yan Yang completely burst open, the flames completely covering Qing Yu’s figure, the scattering hot wind blowing, the grove completely ignited by the flames this time.
In the midst of the flames, the powerful explosion impacted the three-part Returning Qi shield, causing it to shoot backwards.
But in mid-air, Qing Yu’s true qi sank into his body and his qi shield rotated outside his body, adding pure yin xuan qi to it, dissipating all the inflammation and impact, causing his qi shield to float a few feet before landing on the ground again.
“Scatter.”
With a wave of Qing Yu’s right hand, the Qi shield expanded with a bang, repelling the overflowing Yan energy straight away.
The moment of the explosion was the strongest moment, after that, the move lost its threatening power.
The flames scattered everywhere, showering the ground with sparks and decorating a magnificent landscape.
Had it been at night, the sight would have been very beautiful.
“Fellow Daoist Xuan Ming, can you still fight again?”
Qing Yu’s eyes swept towards the slightly deficient figure, his right hand once again behind his back in a calm and collected manner.
Xuan Ming clenched his hands into fists, his body seemed to be about to burst into flames again, but after seeing Qing Yu’s calm face, he turned to let go of his fists.
On his opponent’s body, there was a constant stream of green essence, and a large amount of heaven and earth energy was sucked into his body. The true qi that had been depleted by the exchange of blows was rapidly recovering under the replenishment of both.
If the battle continued for a long time, the one who would suffer would definitely be himself.
After all, Xuan Ming was still self-aware, so he clasped his fist and arched his hand, “Fellow Daoist Qing Yu is more skillful than others, Xuan Ming is willing to bow down.”
“Where, where,” said Qing Yu, also clasping his fist and faking a smile, “It was just a fluke.”
“Daoist friend is highly skilled, do you know where your teacher comes from?” Xuan Ming took the opportunity to ask.
Since he couldn’t find out the details of the other party, he might as well ask. Maybe the other party hadn’t been paying attention and had revealed some key clue!
Unfortunately, this was only Xuan Ming’s extravagant hope after all.
Qing Yu still answered in the same old way, “A scattered man in the mountains, with heaven and earth as his teacher, with no master.”
‘You’re lying to the devil!’ Xuan Ming cursed angrily in his heart.
To be able to practise to such an extent with heaven and earth as your teacher, are you a legendary celestial being incarnated?
This perfunctory reply was enough.
In the Jianghu world, there was indeed no shortage of the kind of casuals without a sect, and it was not that there were no such casuals who had cultivated to the True Dan realm, or even the Tong Shen realm.
However, these people have all gone through many years of wandering, accumulating a large amount of resources and experience, before they can refine to such a level.
But all those who have reached the True Dan realm are renowned in the jianghu world, and anyone who is a jianghu practitioner can tell you all about them.
But this Daoist, Qing Yu, had no past in the jianghu, so where did he get such great strength?
So to say that there was no mastery was really a nonsense that was too obvious to be true.
“Haha, Fellow Daoist is truly gifted.” Xuan Ming praised with a dry smile.
Although he knew it was a ghostly statement, Xuan Ming still had to echo the praise. It couldn’t be helped, he wasn’t exactly a straight shooter after all.
“I’m flattered.” Qing Yu accepted the praise wholeheartedly with a smile.
“This place is already ten miles away from the True Martial Gate, fellow Daoist, as the saying goes: sending a gentleman a thousand miles must eventually lead to a farewell. Once again, I bid farewell to you, Xuan Ming.” Xuan Ming then said.
“Daoist friend, please return.” Qing Yu raised his hand and said.
“Farewell.”
Xuan Ming turned around, and was about to leave.
“Fellow Daoist, please stay.”
“Hm?” Xuan Ming turned back in confusion, but he saw Qing Yu’s figure suddenly disappear and appear behind him without a sound.
“Fellow Daoist, I see that your true qi has been greatly depleted, so I will give you this pill to help you recover your true qi.”
Qing Yu’s eyes seemed to flash with a ghostly aura as he took out a round, pure white pill from his sleeve.
‘An elixir?’
Xuan Ming hesitated slightly, turned out the pill, and said with thanks, “Thank you, fellow Daoist.”
“Farewell.”
Without urging Xuan Ming to take the pill, Qing Yu’s figure slowly disappeared.
