Chapter 1124 - 566: Just Messing Around (Part 2)
"The Qi embraces the rivers, the form hides in the clear ripple, stepping with the wave’s turn, shadow vanishes within!"
"Splash, splash, splash!"
The entire pool of water suddenly gathered, transforming into buds of water lotus flowers, also concealing Su Qingyan’s Dao Body within. Soon, those water lotus buds began moving in the tumbling waves as if performing acrobatics, or like bumper cars, spinning and shifting, surrounding in formation. The water current transformed into a massive vortex, trapping Chen Xuantian at its core!
Chen Xuantian just watched with his hands clasped.
"The Milky Way rolls back, crane’s cry pierces the sky, crashing waves split the shore, cleansing the evil aura!"
Then the water flowers exploded! From the buds, immortal cranes manifested from condensed water shot out! Those water cranes charged from all directions, flapping wings to spread water, creating a dense water tornado to force a position retreat! Meanwhile, high-pressure water blades spewed from the cranes’ beaks, all shooting straight at Chen Xuantian!
The cultivation isn’t bad, but what kind of flashy, showy tricks are these, never fought people before, huh...
Chen Xuantian shook his head, reached out from his sleeve, rubbed his hands, and slapped the water surface.
"Let the thunder come."
"Boom!"
Thus, lightning flashed, a thunderbolt shot out from his palm, the electrical serpent swift as light, flowing through and striking a hidden water flower bud.
Immediately, that flower bud flashed like a light bulb, the lightning exploded within, shining through the water light, momentarily illuminating as brightly as a Luminous Pearl, casting clear light through the sky, turning the faces of the immortals above green.
"What!?"
"A Thunder Skill!?"
"Splash..."
The water cranes, water flowers, and water waves, in the blink of an eye, surged and dissipated, only raising a rolling wave, the splashing waves blowing the two from Songshan Mountain by the shore away.
In an instant, all was silent, and as the water gradually calmed, with a gurgle, a charred blackened corpse surfaced from the water...
"Swoosh!"
A figure immediately leapt from the clouds, landing on the lake, clad in a dark blue Daoist robe with a beard. He supported the charred corpse, placing a Jade Cicada in Su Qingyan’s mouth, slapping a talisman on his forehead. He murmured a curse, aiding him in soldier disintegration and rebirth.
Chen Xuantian did not obstruct, just watched from the side with hands clasped.
The bearded man repeated the curse three times, yet the Jade Cicada did not react, and he stood up with an ashen face, glaring fiercely at Chen Xuantian,
"Your hand is too heavy!"
Chen Xuantian just chuckled,
"Haha, you damn well think I’m jesting with you?"
The bearded man took a deep breath, glaring at Chen Xuantian and shouted,
"I ask you! Where did you learn the Water Yin Thunder? Who taught you the Five Thunders Technique? From whom did you learn the Shenxiao Path?"
Chen Xuantian chuckled again,
"None of your damn business, fight or not?"
The bearded man beckoned with his hand, summoning a Jade Token from the sky, with a maneuver, flipping out a Copper Coin Sword,
"Guo Pu from Danxia Mountain! Please enlighten me!"
Chen Xuantian cupped his hands towards him, then extended a hand, hooking his middle finger,
"Come."
"Nine Heavens Responding Element! Thunder Sound Universal Transformation!"
The bearded man didn’t waste words, widened his eyes and opened his mouth! His body surged with Divine Gang Gold Qi! Golden Thunder jumped wildly from his mouth and nose! "Boom boom boom boom boom!" At that moment, five thunders struck consecutively, hitting the five gates around his body! The Daoist energy actually increased by fifty percent! Finally, the electric serpent, with rolling and jumping, directly dashed, picking the tip of the Copper Coin Sword!
In an instant, Sword Thunder Unity! The high-energy thunder light blasted the Copper Coin Sword into a gold-red flowing fire! Condensed into a foot-long golden Thunder Fire Sword Qi! At that moment, the thunder aura and sword radiance, the golden light flickered! Piercing jade, cutting through stones! Extremely sharp!
Even Chen Xuantian could not help but nod. To refine the Sword Fire Thunder of the thirty-one thunder into this realm, this bearded man was indeed formidable, certainly having received the True Inheritor of Danxia Mountain.
This move, in essence, adds the Thunder Power to the sword. When the sword strikes, not only does it increase damage, but the thunder’s electric shock can stimulate muscles, providing acceleration. Various enhancements. When one descends from the mountain to subdue monsters and demons, just showcasing this move would make evil spirits run with heads held. Even the Divinity Transformation Level great demon and old monsters couldn’t withstand this kind of badass attack.
However, if this move were to be used in a human duel, it would still fall short. After all, although the Sword Fire Thunder’s power is massive, with the thunder technique drastically enhancing the first strike’s damage and speed, it’s too burdensome on the Dao Body. It’s a deadly move that, while extremely powerful, looks impressive but is ineffective if it doesn’t hit.
For ordinary people, it’s difficult to summon a single thunder, let alone a Thunder Sword like this that requires both the Dao Body and the Thunder Skill to barely control, let alone swinging a second or third strike consecutively. So, if the first sword is evaded by Escape Skill...
"Scorch darkness to ward off evil, refine with light! Expel evil to break falsehood, slay form!"
"Huh? Going full out?"
"Boom!!"
With a shout of rage, Guo Pu unleashed all his Dao Power! The Thunder Talisman fully charged! Sword power abruptly doubled! At that moment, the sword thunder grew another ten feet in length! Enveloping itself with blazing white thunder fire! Solidifying into a giant thunder sword! It was truly putting all his Dao Power, a lifetime’s cultivation! All bet on this single sword! To ensure that this sword! Cannot! Be! Dodged!
What grudge is so deep that it has to be a fight to the death!? Oh, but thinking about it, it makes sense. After all, Chen Xuantian used the proper Shenxiao Five Thunders Technique just now. If it wasn’t from receiving the True Inheritor from Danxia Mountain, where else, how else could he have obtained it? Moreover, he claims to be a heretical demon, and his methods are so ruthless, nine out of ten, didn’t he kill and soul-search, slaughter his same sect from Danxia Mountain?
"Evil Demon!! Meet your doom—!!"
"Boom——!!!"
At that moment, the thunderous whistle of the sword, the waves terrifying as a tide! The sword shocked the heavens! Gathering thunder into a blade!
Danxia Mountain’s Guo Pu! Uniting with the sword! Comes to exterminate demons and defend the Dao!
"Boom——!!"
In this moment, unstoppable, the thunder follows the light! The sword follows the thunder! A single sword thrust! Piercing into Chen Xuantian’s Heart Core!
Got him!
Didn’t get him!
Dodged it!
It’s an afterimage!
Try again!
"Hah ah ah ah ah——!"
"Boom boom boom——!!!"
Guo Pu! Voice like a thunder crash! Whistle like a sword howl!
With a backhand swing, he rotated and horizontally cut with the thunder light sword aura! A sword released blazing light endlessly! Sword wind billowing! Thunder light rapidly flickering! The might of a single sword, splitting mountains and cracking the earth, thunder fire bursting, destroying rotten wood! Sweeping across!
However, he missed!
Can’t hit, can’t hit at all!
Everywhere is illusion! Everything in sight is bubble shadow!
Although Su Qingyan’s Water Escape was broken earlier, the True Qi did not disperse! Thus the water flowers and water cranes scattered across the sky were all taken over! Projecting Chen Xuantian’s reflection all over the sky!
All are illusionary bodies! All are void shadows! All are Eye Covering Technique!
Where! Where! Where!
Guo Pu’s pupils fractured with electric fire, his mouth and nose erupted with thunderbolt, his pupils jump erratically, scanning with Divine Sense to locate Chen Xuantian!
This fiend’s true body! Exactly where is it...
Then at that moment of distraction, a hand suddenly reached from Guo Pu’s side, from the ’afterimage’ he pierced with the first sword, suddenly raising its hand to grab.
This maneuver, like a gibbon’s arm, as if embracing the water and moon, in a stroke and a pluck, took Guo Pu’s head from the rolling thunder lights.
"Plop."
Guo Pu from Danxia Mountain, defeated and dead.
"Ah, ah, ah this move..."
"How is it possible..."
"Using Escape Skill to dodge the sword..."
"Actually hiding in the illusionary body..."
"When was the mantra cast..."
"How could it be dodged..."
Indeed, the illusionary body and bubble shadow are ultimately embellishments of the Eye Covering Technique. The key is still dodging the opponent’s all-out, thunder-light-infused, guaranteed kill first strike.
But to say it again, if it were any other move, it wouldn’t matter, but for the Sword Fire Thunder set, how could he possibly not dodge it?
After all, no matter how fast, how sharp, how fierce you are.
Can you surpass the Lightning Style?
Casually tossing Guo Pu’s head to the water’s edge, Chen Xuantian raised his hand, old and worn, saying,
"Timeout, I’ve exhausted my Refining, need a break."
