The first battle, thus, came to an end.
Zhu Kong was lightly wounded and nearly unharmed, while Yun Zheng was seriously injured and dying. Had it not been for the timely treatment by Tian Yang, the word “dying” could have been dropped.
This battle made the crowd remember Zhu Kong and the killing technique.
All the people present, including those from the two sects of Dragon Tiger Mountain and True Martial Arts, were secretly wary of Luo Fu Palace.
It was nothing that Zhu Kong knew this killing sword. He was only a Divine Origin realm, which might already be considered an expert in the Jianghu world, but compared to these people up and down the high platform, Zhu Kong was just a child who had just learned to walk.
What was really noteworthy was Huayu Fei.
Sensing from his qi alone, Hua Yu Fei had already fully recovered. His recovery signalled that Luo Fu Palace was not so easy to pull off. It would take a bitter battle to take over Luo Fu Palace’s position.
Moreover, if Huayu Fei also practised this unknown killing sword technique, his strength would definitely not be underestimated.
“This sword skill of Luo Fu Palace is extremely heavy with killing qi, and is even heavier than the Divine Martial Marquis of Great Qian, Luo Feng, and is extremely heavy on the vitality rush… I wonder how that little friend Zhu Kong has practiced it?”
On the high platform of the True Martial Sect, Tong Ming, one of the Three Elders of True Martial, waved his hand to shield his voice and said.
Tongming was an old man, and his life could be described as one of ups and downs, and his experience in certain areas could be said to exceed those of the younger Tong Shen.
It was for this reason that he could see the drawbacks of this Sword Killing Technique.
“With that junior’s realm, it is absolutely impossible for him to practise this killing sword. Although I don’t know the reasoning behind the creation of this killing sword, the erosion of vitality by the killing machine is real. With a life expectancy of the Divine Origin realm, to gather such a strong killing machine is tantamount to seeking one’s own death. Even if he can survive it, he will only become a white-haired old man.” Tong Ming said.
It was obvious that Zhu Kong had not become an old man who was too old to carry a sword; his vitality had been eroded, but he was currently still within the range of a young man.
“There is also that fellow Daoist Hua,” Tong Ming’s gaze skimmed down to the high platform on the far right, “If his previous injuries were truly too severe to show his face, then cultivating the killing sword would only cause him to die more quickly. His body can’t withstand the urge to kill.”
“What does senior uncle mean ——,” asked Xuan Chen.
“I have heard that the Luofu Palace has a sword skill that has been sealed away. If that sword skill is this killing sword, why didn’t Lord Hua Palace cultivate this sword skill before?”
A hint of longing flashed in Tong Ming’s eyes, “Luo Fu Palace must have recently obtained a life-prolonging object or a secret method to practise this sword skill.”
He was almost five hundred years old, and his life expectancy was about to end, but he was still full of longing for life. At such a time, the method of life extension was extremely attractive to him.
Xuan Chen smiled and remained silent for a long time.
The three True Martial Elders were all nearing the end of their lifespan. They had been in seclusion in the forbidden land, not only so as not to interfere with the affairs of the sect, but also to slow down the pa*sing of their lives with secret methods.
If these three old men were to go, then it was highly likely that the True Martial Sect would have to face the same fate as the Luofu Palace today.
“Senior Uncle, let’s wait and see what happens.” Xuan Chen said.
Tong Ming nodded wordlessly, collecting the look of longing in his eyes and returning to his ancient well.
To wait and see what happens was not to do nothing, but to wait for an opportunity to make a move.
”Tongming, one of the three old men of True Martial Arts, seems to place an extremely high value on longevity. Well —— to put it bluntly, they are afraid of death.” At the end of the square, Qing Yu took in the conversation between the True Martial Sect duo as much as he could.
Perhaps it was the arrogance of the strong, as Tong Ming simply blocked out his voice, all but unconcerned that his words would be read by someone with a lip reading technique.
Of course, it could also be because they were confident in their own perceptive abilities.
Staring at their lips all the time to read the words, that kind of concentration was extremely easy for them to detect. Although there were many people here, the person who kept staring at their lips was a bit unique.
But it wouldn’t occur to Tong Ming and Xuan Chen that no one would be able to detect Qing Yu as long as he didn’t want to himself.
What Qingyu was best at was dealing with perceptive abilities.
Thus, their conversation was all “read” by Qing Yu.
Of course, the old man’s desire for longevity wasn’t really a trick, so Qingyu just wrote it down silently. Perhaps one day, this little piece of information would work wonders.
While the people here were each talking, the battle at the True Dan Realm was already about to begin over there.
On the Luofu Palace side, it was Lin Jianfeng, who had been representing Huayu Fei before, who was fighting. On the Pure Yang Palace’s side, it was Yun Lai, the eldest disciple of Tian Yang Zhen Zhen.
The two of them had been cultivating at the True Dan realm for many years, and their power was profound.
Compared to Zhu Kong and Yun Zheng, their fight was extremely exciting. The two young Taoist priests in front of Qing Yu stopped whispering and straightened their necks to stare unblinkingly.
But to Qing Yu, their battle was not as interesting as the two previous ones at the Divine Origin realm.
It had been more than a year since he had broken through to True Dan. During this not-so-short period of time, Qing Yu had experienced all sorts of battles, large and small, and his eyesight had naturally grown higher.
Lin Jianfeng was certainly an extraordinary swordsman, and Yunlai was certainly a master of both Qi and sword, but in Qing Yu’s eyes, it lacked the kind of feeling that shone before his eyes.
Compared to Zhu Kong’s killing sword and Yun Zheng’s “Heavenly Transport Sword Technique”, Lin Jianfeng and Yunlai lacked anything else that would interest them.
After all, even if these two were strong, they were not as strong as Qing Yu. The only difference between them and Zhu Kong was the length of time it took to collect them. It would take a split second to clean up Zhu Kong, and about an hour to clean up Lin Jianfeng.
There was a length of time, but the result was the same.
”Unknowingly, I’ve become so inflated that I don’t even put much stock in True Dan realm martial artists below the Earth Ranking.” Qing Yu thought with some boredom.
Since he was bored, Qing Yu naturally did not focus all his attention on the battle between the two Lin Jianfeng. His gaze, slightly shifted, looked towards the people from Ming Xuan Guan who had been sitting still.
Only four people from Mingxuan Guan were present, but these four, one was stronger than the other.
Apart from a young disciple from the Divine Origin realm, the remaining three, one Tong Shen and two True Dan.
One of them was a strong man of the God Realm, Qing Yu remembered that his name was “Jingxiu Zhen Zhen”, and he had been resting his eyes, as if he did not care about anything.
But if he didn’t care, why did he come here for the Daoist Conference?
One of the two Zendans, a disciple of Jingxiu, called Bai Yue, also kept his eyes closed and did not move.
The other True Dane is a female champion. She had been staring at the battle in the field, or perhaps at Lin Jianfeng.
There was also that divine element ——
”Hm? It’s actually impossible to see through him, interesting ——”
