Chapter 747 - 400: Qing Guang Hall (2)
"What a skill!"
At that moment, Qing Guang Hall gritted their teeth, shouting with anger, and pointed upward. The Sanmei Divine Celestial Net suddenly burst forth with Divine Light, soaring like a jellyfish into the sky and falling directly onto the back mountain.
Qing Guang Hall was worried that the previous thief might still be scheming in the shadows, so they simply withdrew the magic treasure, dismantling the Array, and firmly protected the temple where Ci Yun and Pei Yuhuan were, ensuring their safety.
Wei Hanguang, with a smiling bow,
"Thank you for letting me win."
"Let your ass! I’m not dead yet, if you have the guts, come at me together! I can destroy all of you with one hand!"
Qing Guang Hall snorted coldly, their face flickered with green light, their mouth and nose glowing brightly in green, clearly stirred to killing intent by the Mystic Sect, ready to fight decisively.
Even if they couldn’t withstand the secret manual of the Mystic Sect, they would inevitably be shattered by the Xuanyuan Break. But to flee like this wasn’t possible for Qing Guang Hall. This time, heads must roll to quell the indignation of friends.
The members of East Splendor Mountain also knew the opponent’s arithmetic might be lacking, yet their cultivation realm was formidable and not easy to reckon with. The leading Senior Brother threw away his conical hat, leading the way and saying loudly,
"Disciples of Nine Heavens Temple, Xu Dongyang and fellow sect members, come to pay respects, asking True Man to observe our Array.
Should we pass this Array, East Splendor Mountain concedes defeat and will no longer trouble you all."
"Good! Please proceed!"
With that, the three formed an Array and approached, drawing the treasure swords from their backs, stepping into the Gang Step, employing the Light Body Technique, soaring like swallows and sparrows, taking to the air, performing the Sword Flower Qi Wave, refining it into a blanket of sword light!
"Mars commands me, the sky of the mystic dome opens! Nine Heavens Yang Flame Technique!"
Xu Dongyang charged at the forefront! The sword blade was crimson like the noon Xuanyang!
"Taiyi East Coming Qi, True Light Breaks Nine Glories! Nine Heavens Yin Star Technique!"
Wei Hanguang followed, attacking! The sword fell like stars pouring, cold light sparkling, casting a dazzling sword aura!
"A single Spirit Platform fire, wind of the three acupoints!"
Zheng Mingyi followed up the rear, suppressing the formation! Sword Wind like a waterfall, unleashing a fierce tempest to guard the Array!
Qing Guang Hall, having seen a Fellow Daoist perish and their Array broken in person, was not about to be careless.
Though unable to fully comprehend the roots of the Xuanyuan Break technique, Qing Guang Hall knew clearly that the three-person combined Sword Array was imposing actually focused on defense.
Rather than a joint assault, it relied on the Three Talents Step Method, Shifting Form and Position, for mutual support. Once entered into the Array, strikes from three sides might be encountered at any moment, defending against someone leveraging cultivation to intimidate others.
As for the Xuanyuan Break technique, its terrifying power and ability to launch silently at long range meant that being swayed by the colorful Sword Array into choosing long-range entanglement was incredibly disadvantageous, fearing that once distance was opened, a fate like Meng Zhan’s would be met!
Yet in the end, the three opponents didn’t fire erratic shots back and forth, evidently their technique required preparation to unleash—consuming much energy and needing recovery through breathing. This brief inertia presented an opportunity for victory during their precarious state!
Thus, seeing the three combining forces, battling colorful and windy sword arrays, it was still a deceptive trick! Clearly planning to assist each other! One person casting a spell, with two others aiding from the side, acting as protectors!
So be it! Close combat it is!
"I accept your challenge! Green Fall Attraction!"
Before the words finished, with a swipe, a twist of the Qing Guang, enormous True Qi poured into the Array like a heavenly river.
Qing Guang Hall indeed possessed some competence, unafraid even when facing three foes, left palm still gripping a skeleton hidden in the sleeve, drawing a bamboo pen with the other hand from the sleeve, sketching in the void as heaven and earth become the canvas. The tip emitted flashes of Purple Mist, sharp as blades, slicing through the combined Sword Energy, transforming the ambient True Breath and Daoist energy into protective green-blue light entering the array.
Sudden strong gusts erupted. True Qi clashes raged turbulently. Even as the Mystic Sect trio unleashed endless sword light spells on the Qing Guang, it was unbroken, as if shielded by a shell, an extremely rare ingenious technique.
Still, the four engaged in battle held back a bit, with Qing Guang Hall cautious; aware of possible surprise attacks from former foes, and guarding against being instantly defeated by a lethal trick, wielding their realm advantage, unafraid of the trio’s collaboration for now.
The East Splendor Mountain trio had never seen such Loose Cultivator skills before, nor anticipated what other moves might be held back, naturally they couldn’t rush in recklessly as they did against the Demon Sect, opting for caution, focusing on mutual support and avoiding errors before seeking opportunities.
And so, with chaotic clashes between the groups, figures intertwined, exchanging numerous blows—between thirty to fifty exchanges, Wei Hanguang detecting some insight, called out,
"Managing to withstand our combined sword power attack, sir’s Returning Dust Escape Technique is quite impressive! Presumably, it draws upon an Innate True Qi condensation, achieving such superior skill! Yet even this protective technique must struggle against our East Splendor Shining Truth Map!"
Upon hearing this, Xu Dongyang loudly commanded,
"Everyone, prepare separately, wait for my command, and use Purple Mist Dao Power with Xuanyuan Break to strike!"
"Less nonsense, if capable, break through!"
Though Qing Guang Hall remained defiant in words, they felt anxious inside.
Initially relying on Divine Skill for protection, awaiting an opening to strike a decisive blow by exploiting a weakness, who would have thought this trinity’s Array had substance, indeed a challenge!
