“How could ——- so ——”
“Senior Xuanfa is not dead? He is still doing life and death struggle with Qing Yu? They are master and disciple, why are they fighting to the death, why are they ——”
Xuan Goblet’s spirit was starting to go all wrong, and he was speaking in a bit of a jumble.
All at once he thought of why Xuan Fa hadn’t died, and all at once he thought of why Xuan Fa had turned into Xuan Chen. All sorts of distracting thoughts caused Xuan Goblet to be on the verge of collapse.
“Alas, demented son!” Tong Hua, who was restrained at the side, sighed when he saw Xuan Goblet’s look of breaking down.
Although he and Xuan Goblet were far away from the battlefield, with their eyesight, they still took everything in.
Xuan Fa obviously had a ghost, otherwise he would have appeared as Xuan Chen all this time. The worldly veteran Tonghua could almost deduce how Xuanfa had replaced Xuan Chen.
When he thought that the sect leader he was so determined to uphold had been replaced, and he didn’t even know it yet, Tong Hua’s mind was filled with complicated thoughts.
And then there was Qing Yu, the demon daoist of the Northern Zhou, of whom even Tong Hua, who had been in seclusion, had heard. His heart and aspirations are not those of a man who is willing to live below others, and he is a bit like his master, Xuanfa.
When such two masters and disciples collide, they are almost certain to come into conflict; after all, both want the True Martial Sect, but there is only one ultimate controller. What’s more, Qing Yu and Xuan Fa don’t have much of a master-disciple relationship.
Of course, Tong Hua, who had been in seclusion, had still missed one thing, and that was that there was actually a grudge of sorts between Qing Yu and Xuan Fa.
Those three years on the North Cang Mountains, which were on the verge of madness, were definitely days that Qing Yu could never forget in his life. Although that resentment and madness was removed by Qing Yu’s own creation of the ‘Heavenly Man Reincarnation Method’, it did not mean that Qing Yu would not take revenge.
Although it was a bit forced to throw this grudge at Xuanfa’s head, since he was now a life-and-death enemy, there was no harm in relenting a bit.
————————
The Buddha’s light was so bright that high up in the sky, the golden palm overpowered the strong enemy, and the clear saint Buddha’s light cleansed the clouds in the sky.
Xuanfa also did not show any weakness, his qi rushed to Wuji, the qi of Taixu attached to the True Martial Sword, causing this sword of the True Martial Sect’s Zhenwu Sect to blossom with infinite dao light, “Wuji Dangling Demon.”
The golden light of the Buddha’s palm against the Taixu True Martial Sword, the golden light of the sword qi blasted in all directions in the sky, the strong wind tore apart, the two at the heart of the battle did not give way.
“Boom…”
The two of them flew backwards in unison, but outside of Qing Yu’s body, two light golden rail wheels appeared, spinning and tumbling, completely discharging the impacting qi outside, not retreating but advancing.
The double-layered air shield of the Holy Demon’s Yuan Tire is so strong that even such a powerful impact could not cause it to ripple.
As the fire energy in his palm rose, the sky was suddenly ablaze with fire, the crimson flames lining the sky with red.
The sky and the earth were shaken – fire burned the wilderness.
In an instant, Xuanfa felt that the sky and the ground were a purgatory, whether it was the sky above or the void below, all were enveloped in flames, the fire of heaven and earth gathering in layers to kill all things.
On the front, a figure, clad in blazing fire, blasted down.
“Traitor!”
In an indignant shout, the Xuan Fa sword rose and moved Yin and Yang, the Qi of Yin and Yang merged into the Tai Void, and then as the sword moved, a sword light like the opening of the sky and earth met Qing Yu, “Tai Void and No Limit, True Martial Opening the Sky.”
Although the ancestor of the True Martial Sect, Emperor Zhen Wu, had once listened to the teachings of the Daoist Ancestor, he was not a direct descendant of the Daoist Ancestor, so it was difficult to obtain a true transmission.
This move of True Martial Arts is the move that has been the culmination of his life’s martial arts, and it is also the move that is intended to compete with the “Tai Shang Kai Tian Jing”.
With this move, Xuanfa was really going to do his best.
They had not been together for more than a day, but they knew each other very well. They both knew that they could not tolerate each other, and that one of them would die.
Now was the moment of death.
The sword light that opened up the heavens went up to the clouds, as if to split the crimson sky in two, and then the sword light descended and met the flames.
“—”
The clash between the sword light and the fire of heaven and earth was only a moment’s stalemate, after which the sword light slowly advanced and cut straight through the man clad in flames.
“Qing Yu–”
Xuanfa shouted, holding the sword with both hands, and inputting his true qi with all his might. Within his body, there was a flicker of blood light as the sword qi advanced faster and faster, cutting a path through the overwhelming flames.
”Blood light, he has cultivated the martial arts of the Blood Demon Sect. No wonder Xuanfa’s strength has swelled so much. ——”
Today’s Xuan Fa was hardly comparable to the previous time when he had sneaked up on Xuan Du, who was dressed as Qing Yu, at the Tai Zhen Palace, the difference in strength was too great.
If he really had this strength, Qing Yu would have been at least seriously injured and dying, even if he could have escaped.
If Qing Yu had guessed correctly, after Xuan Fa captured Xuan Chen, he did not kill him directly, but absorbed his power with the Blood Demon Sect martial arts, relying on the same source of true qi to fuse him.
His so-called retreat to heal his wounds afterwards was an attempt to fuse the two strands of true qi.
“Boom…”
The True Martial Open Heaven Sword finally chopped onto the protective rail wheel, and Qing Yu pushed the Heart Light Decree with both hands, and the Buddha’s light shone brightly, completely stimulating the Buddha’s power in the Buddhist weapon, and resisting the sword energy together with the rail wheel.
“Bare–”
There was an ear-piercing scraping sound, as well as a cracking sound, as the first layer of the body shield began to be overwhelmed and the rail wheel broke apart.
But this was not enough to have a crisis for Qing Yu who had a double layer of Qi shield.
The radiant Buddha light shone even brighter as the power of the Buddha weapon and the rail wheel merged to repel the sword Qi.
With a humming sound, the golden light outside of Qing Yu’s body shone violently, and his strong true qi repelled the sword of opening the sky which was fast running out of momentum.
“Impressive,” Qing Yu slowly wiped away the blood from the corner of his mouth, the second light golden rail wheel reappeared, his body slowly rose into the air, “to be able to injure me through the second layer of Qi shield and the Heart Light Decree is truly extraordinary.”
“But that’s as far as it goes ——”
The double body of the Holy Demon Origin Tire is able to allow two bodies to bear the injuries together, with great additional room for maneuvering. Moreover, the other body that was in the body could run its energy to heal its injuries and recover its true qi.
With Qing Yu’s recovery power at this moment, as long as he was not seriously injured to the root, he could switch between the two bodies and keep on fighting.
“My Master, you did your best!”
“Buzz–”
The strong and overwhelming true qi caused the surrounding air to emit a low humming sound, and the qi of heaven and earth that was drawn in caused a feeling of a titanic mountain pressing down on the Xuanfa directly in front of him.
“You monster ——,” Xuanfa read softly.
It was indeed a monster, not to mention the extremely fast rate of refinement, but the awe-inspiring stance of the man standing in the air in front of him, the vast aura like the centre of heaven and earth, was not comparable to that of an ordinary Tong Shen.
“Xuan Fa!”
Seeing such a shattering sight, the distant Tong Jie left Xuan Zhen and rushed to his aid. Xuanfa, who had just made a life-threatening move, would never be able to stop it, and the only way to have a chance of survival was for the two of them to resist together.
