That night, when the moonlight was sparse, a sword qi descended from the sky and shot at Qing Yu’s compound.
“Qing Yu, the Pure Yang Palace is honoured by your True Martial Sect, and you have allowed a junior to provoke Xiao, so tonight, Xiao will seek justice with the sword in his hand!”
Xiao Qianxiu stood in the air under the moon and shouted loudly.
Surging true qi blasted out from the courtyard, shattering the sword qi as the white-haired Taoist stepped on an invisible ladder and marched to the sky.
“Master Xiao, you want to make things difficult for yourself, poor Daoist make it happen!”
“Come on then.”
Xiao Qianxiu turned into sword light and shot into the distance like a shooting star across the sky, “Thirty miles away at Moonlight Peak, you and I will fight.”
The two of them cut across the thirty-mile long sky, one after the other, and the standing peak was visible.
Xiao Qianxiu was the first to land on the peak, his back to Qing Yu.
Afterwards, the floating figure slowly landed on the ground, and the fair-haired Daoist with immortal bones looked at the figure with his back to himself and raised his eyebrows, “Has Master Xiao Zhuang picked a good place to be buried?”
“You really want to kill Mister Xiao?” Xiao Qianxiu still turned his back to Qing Yu and said in a cold voice.
“Does Master Xiao not want to kill poor Dao?” Qing Yu smiled and asked in return.
“Not bad, Mister Xiao does want to kill you too. Your past Xiao Mou knows clearly, you are a person who leaves no loose ends, Xiao Mou has formed a grudge against you, sooner or later you will be retaliated against, since this is the case ——-”
The moonlight peak suddenly shook a little, countless vines from the mountain rocks poked out, spreading around, dao wood spirit Qi filled the surrounding, but also in Xiao Qianxiu’s body condensed a pair of crystal emerald green battle armor.
“—— might as well strike first and kill you first!”
Four long swords appeared in the air from the four sides of the Moonlight Peak, tugging with the wood spirit qi, sword qi across the sky, blocking the sky dome above.
“The Hundred Herb Pavilion had set up the Cang Mu Chui Ling Formation beforehand to a*sist Mister Xiao in stalling you, and they would help Mister Xiao capture Yun Zheng. But when I thought about it, since I could set up a formation to ambush you, why not ambush you completely and eliminate you as a scourge?”
The four swords in the sky gathered sword qi and shot down, being absorbed by a piece of pure white sword blade remnants, the sword intent flowing over the wood spirit battle armour, even to the point of merging with the surrounding vines, gilding the wooden vines with a layer of sharpness.
“The four strongest divine swords of the Imperial Sword Villa – Wild Kill, Flying Feather Mane, Great Determination and Zhanqian Enemy, each of which is ranked in the top twenty divine swords on the Famous Sword List, together with the Heavenly Fraction in Xiao’s hand, is the Heavenly Extermination and Demon Punishing Sword Formation, Qing Yu, you are a dead end!”
Xiao Qianxiu held the Heavenly Divided Fragment between his fingers, his sword qi gathered, and the fragment grew into a two-foot-long illusory sword blade and swung it forward.
The pure white sword qi carried the ultimate sharpness of the world, ignoring Qing Yu’s protective qi shield of Brahma Qi Miro as if it was nothing, leaving a deep blood mark on Qing Yu’s shoulder.
“Behold, Qing Yu, your so-called supreme body protection divine skill is worthless under the sharpness of the Heavenly Equinox. Your life will also be lost under Heavenly Equinox. Haha ——” Xiao Qianxiu laughed rampantly.
The plan went smoothly. The Cang Mu Chui Ling Formation protected the body and the Heavenly Extermination Sword Formation stimulated the sharpness of the Heavenly Equinox, while the two formations combined to block the top and bottom, making it as difficult for Qing Yu to fly as a bird in a cage.
How could Xiao Qianxiu not be happy that the enemy he had always feared was about to die by the sword?
“Are you finished?”
Qing Yu looked at Xiao Qianxiu calmly, letting him droning on and on about his plans, looking at him as if he were looking at a clown who didn’t know what was important, or a foolish creature who didn’t know when he was dead.
“If talking can give you the confidence to face the poor Tao, the poor Tao can let you talk for another incense stick.” Qing Yu held up a finger and said indifferently.
The sword qi on his shoulder was forced out, the blood marks recovered instantly, leaving no trace of blood, even the daoist robe that had been cut by the sword qi returned to its original state, the whole person was brand new, or rather, never changed.
Qing Yu had gained a lot from participating in Tai Su with Xuan Zhen. The restoration of the original shape of his clothes was one of the most important gains. The Tai Su is the beginning of quality, and as Qing Yu studied it for a long time, he transformed his true qi into substance and wove a pure garment of qi, or what is called a celestial garment.
It is said that the celestial robe is woven with cloud qi, similar to Qing Yu’s robe, so it is fine for Qing Yu to call the true qi robe the celestial robe.
Since the Daoist robe was woven purely from true qi into substance, it was only child’s play to use true qi to make up for the tears in the robe.
“When you are determined to kill the poor dao, it is the poor dao that has underestimated you. But ——”
“And that’s all.”
The True Martial Sword was sheathed, the sword opened up the yin and yang, evolving the four elephants and eight trigrams, the True Martial Open Heaven Sword.
Compared to Xuanfa’s True Martial Opening Sword, Qing Yu’s comprehension of this move was more profound, at least the eight trigrams were not covered by Xuanfa.
The sword landed on the ground, vines, rocks, mud, everything underfoot was transformed by this sword, and the four elephants and eight trigrams were mutually exclusive.
Wood produces fire and fire produces earth. The wood energy has not grown, but has instead been transformed into earth energy, nourishing the spiritual energy of the mountains and rivers.
“Trying to rely on formations to deal with the poor Tao, Master Xiao Zhuang is afraid that he has forgotten the origin of this thing called formations, right?” Qing Yu snorted.
Formations were originally created by qi practitioners, who were the predecessors of the Daoist sect.
The qi practitioner is the predecessor of the Daoist sect. Not to mention, the supreme technique practiced by Qing Yu was created by the ancestor of the formation method, the first-cla*s Fuxi.
Xiao Qianxiu’s wood spirit battle armour didn’t even work before the Cang Mu Chui Ling formation collapsed and scattered. A reliance instantly collapsed, but Xiao Qianxiu’s heart had not yet collapsed.
In the end, he was a Tong Shen realm powerhouse, and although he had such and such shortcomings, once he had made up his mind to kill Qing Yu, there was no reason to be timid before the battle. Although Xiao Qianxiu had indeed been timid earlier, by making up for his confidence with a speech ——
“Miso–”
Sword Qi stirred, and the illusory Heaven Dividing Sword Blade and the True Martial Sword collided, emitting a sword cry, while there was a substantial sound of gold and iron clashing.
The True Martial Sword made contact with the illusory sword blade, and the momentary sharpness caused Qing Yu to raise his eyebrows slightly.
Even in its fragmented state, the Heavenly Fraction had such power that it could compete with the True Martial Sword.
Xiao Qianxiu held the sword blade between his two fingers and swung it, and the Heavenly Extermination Demon Punishing Sword Formation in the sky fell like a tide of sword Qi, rushing in.
At the same time, the Heaven Dividing Remnant Sword went straight for the middle palace, and the overwhelming sharpness caused a stinging sensation in Qing Yu’s eyes.
The tidal wave of sword qi and the Heavenly Divided Sword were all caught in this instantaneous burst of sword light, and it was difficult for them to advance a single inch.
Xiao Qianxiu was infuriated and shocked by the fact that he had fought with the Master of the Imperial Sword Villa to such an extent with his swordplay alone.
And next, Qing Yu was going to use his real martial arts skills ——
