Chapter 796 - 355
(To be modified later)
Behind Senior Brother Ni, there were two youths dressed in Penglai Palace attire.
One carried a long sword on his back, his expression stern.
The other held a jade book, smiling faintly.
Both had formidable auras, surprisingly also at the Second Nirvana Cultivation level, but beside Senior Brother Ni, they naturally became background figures.
"Yin Zuo, you are quite punctual." Senior Brother Ni spoke, his voice not loud, yet exceptionally clear, piercing through the sea wind and waves, transmitted steadily.
Yin Zuo smiled slightly, but upon closer inspection, there was a hint of caution in his eyes.
"Senior Brother Ni jokes, a junior meeting a senior, there is no reason to be late."
After a pause, he hurriedly introduced to Senior Brother Ni.
"Senior Brother, this is Xu Guang, a disciple from the Xuan Zhen Institute of the Arctic Six Institutes. This is Jin Buhuan, the brother of Jin Xiangyang."
Senior Brother Ni cast a sidelong glance at the two, then turned to look at the youth holding the jade book behind him.
He didn’t know much about Jin Xiangyang’s death, but someone beside him had mentioned something before, since Jin Buhuan came looking, it must be related to Jin Xiangyang’s death.
"Seems like this banquet is not a feast of good intentions."
Senior Brother Ni smiled faintly.
Jin Buhuan showed respect and said softly, "I heard that a warrior under your command knows some things about my brother’s last moments, I hope you can tell the truth."
"Why?"
Xu Guang stepped forward, blocking Jin Buhuan behind him.
"Consider it a favor from Xu Mou."
"A favor?" Senior Brother Ni snorted, "What are you? What use is your favor to me?"
"A favor is sometimes useful, sometimes not, it depends on how Senior Brother Ni wants to use it."
Xu Guang did not directly explain the usefulness of his favor, even evaded the question.
Senior Brother Ni understood, a hint of interest appeared in his eyes.
"Threatening me?"
Xu Guang remained neither humble nor arrogant, "This matter is not difficult for Senior Brother."
Suddenly, the sea wind stirred.
An invisible battle intent, like an awakening beast, slowly rose from Senior Brother Ni.
The world seemed to pause.
The power here has advanced to an unimaginable degree, influencing the rules of the world merely by its presence.
Though not a Saint, it’s not far off.
"Take a hundred moves from me, and I’ll have Haiyuan answer your question."
Xu Guang slowly raised his hand, slightly spreading his legs apart, his black robe fluttered open, and the bronze sword at his waist emitted a piercing sound.
"Please guide me, Senior Brother."
He was not surprised, knowing Senior Brother Ni’s temperament, he expected this.
The other party came with this mindset.
Of course, he wouldn’t think Senior Brother Ni was only reckless.
In fact, there are very few who can reach this level just by being reckless.
Senior Brother Ni accepted Yin Zuo’s invitation, probably having thoroughly investigated his own identity.
The relationship between himself and Yuanshuang, the other party is likely well aware.
Coming here might also be an attempt to understand Yuanshuang’s current level through himself.
These matters naturally won’t be discussed openly.
Yin Zuo and Jin Buhuan’s expressions changed slightly, instinctively stepping back a few steps.
The two Penglai disciples behind Senior Brother Ni also showed some surprise.
It seemed unexpected that the battle between the two would come so suddenly.
"Good!" Senior Brother Ni praised, then told the two behind him, "You all step back, guard the surroundings well, don’t let idle people or sea beasts disturb us."
"Yes!" The two Penglai disciples responded respectfully, retreating with Yin Zuo and Jin Buhuan to the edge of the island, each occupying a side, vaguely setting up a vigilance.
On the rock platform, only Xu Guang and Senior Brother Ni remained, thirty zhang apart, facing each other from afar.
Between the sea and sky, the atmosphere suddenly became murderous.
...
Without unnecessary words, Senior Brother Ni moved first!
He stepped forward, the dark cyan rock platform underfoot suddenly shook, yellow-brown ripples rapidly spread from his landing point as the center!
"Earth Bind!"
With Senior Brother Ni’s low shout, Xu Guang suddenly felt his feet sink, as if instantly plunging into a fathomless mire, a heavy force, originating from the earth, locked his figure dead tight, constantly spreading upward, trying to petrify and seal him completely!
Earth-related divine technique!
It’s not just a simple increase in gravity, it’s invoking the rules of the earth, forming a domain-like bind!
Meanwhile, Senior Brother Ni raised his right hand, fingers as a sword, pointed towards Xu Guang in the air.
"Beacon Fire!"
Sizzle!
A pinpoint of scarlet fire shot from his fingertip, initially the size of a grain, but once leaving the finger, it expanded in the wind, instantly transforming into a clawing, tens of zhang long fiery dragon!
The fire dragon was vivid and lifelike, scales and claws detailed, roaring as it tore through the air, where it passed, seawater evaporated, rocks melted, carrying a fierce will to burn everything, straight at Xu Guang!
Fire-related divine technique! Highly refined, already possessing spirituality!
Earth Bind ensnares the foe, Beacon Fire is the main attack! The cooperation is seamless, with killing intent!
Xu Guang’s expression remained unchanged, his True Yuan within circulating, the True Monarch representation in his Dantian moved slightly.
"Break!"
With a soft shout, five-colored chaotic light flickered around Xu Guang, the earth-yellow bind force entwining him was like encountering a nemesis, instantly dissolved and melted by a more grand, encompassing Five Elements revolving force. The phantom of the Five Emperors Chaos Armor on the left side of the True Monarch flashed by.
The moment his feet regained freedom, Xu Guang’s right hand waved, the bronze long sword did not unsheathe, instead he used his finger as a sword, tracing a line in the air.
"Human Furnace Great Practice, Forge Fire as Fuel!"
A shadow of a sword, pale golden, composed of countless intricate heavenly patterns, appeared out of thin air, slashing towards the fiery dragon.
An eerie scene unfolded.
The awe-inspiring fiery dragon, upon contact with the pale golden sword shadow, seemed to collide into an invisible celestial furnace!
