Chapter 1130 - 569: Time-Out (Part 2)
To be honest, if Chen Xuantian was just killing people, everyone might not be so shocked. After all, people die when they’re killed; who hasn’t killed before? But to kill someone with strategic precision, that’s a whole different level.
No, Xuanyuan Break, is it really breakable like this?
No, no, theoretically it’s certainly possible, because finger techniques are essentially about channeling all your inner strength into a single point to break Qi and defense. As long as your inner strength cultivation is profound enough, or with some sinister demon path techniques, you can indeed redirect the incoming finger force, refine it for yourself...
But within one move! To absorb vast inner power and surging finger force! To refine sword energy and counterattack lethally! Using their own techniques against them??
No! Is this something a normal person can do!? And honestly, if Xuanyuan Break could break like this! Then no finger technique Qi Gong in any sect or school in the world couldn’t be broken like this!
Cough, cough, of course, actually, Chen Xuantian isn’t that capable.
It’s still the same thing, he’s just riding on Huangfu Yi’s coattails, activating the cheat of the senior brother.
He knew Xu Dongyang beforehand, understood his abilities, and is well aware of the few moves those from East Splendor Mountain have, thus he was strategically prepared to counter him. If it were finger techniques from other sects, naturally, he wouldn’t be able to take it so easily.
But that didn’t stop people from thinking he was overly powerful, resulting in everyone being apprehensive, hesitant, and bewildered, so much so that nobody dared to challenge him for quite a while. Even allowing Chen Xuantian to take this opportunity, to quickly recover some Breathing Qi, swallow a grain of pill, astonishingly replenishing his Qi completely.
However, it’s still true that, at its core, Mystic Sect is not afraid of death.
"Wei Lingfeng of Kongtong! Please impart your teachings!"
Chen Xuantian raised his eyes to glance at the person leaping out from the clouds, almost bursting into laughter.
Oh? Another acquaintance!
This person, at first glance, actually looks decent. White clothes and green robe, with an air of serenity, handsome and dashing, with a free-spirited demeanor; he clearly appeared to be a young hero from a prestigious sect. But he was an innocent fool.
Well, Chen Xuantian has also seen the script, knowing this is the fool who was poisoned by a Poison Sword, even level enough to meet Huangfu Yi’s standards. Having seen Kongtong’s secret techniques several times, he had even dealt with Lord Xuanzhen’s Three Corpses personally, so it’s nothing challenging for him, he smiled and said,
"I’ve long heard of Kongtong’s North Dipper, Central Platform Star Shining, and Heavenly Illuminated Luxuriant; I deeply wish to witness its grand spectacle~ Damn this unfairness! What level is this?! They’ve sent Nascent Soul already?! It’s just shameless!"
Okay, with a closer look, Nascent Soul. Chen Xuantian nearly twisted his back.
The face is unmistakable? Shouldn’t it be him? The one who was poisoned by Huangfu Yi fifty years later? But the cultivation doesn’t match!? At that time, he was only at Golden Core Realm! How come he’s Nascent Soul now? Could it be they’re different people??
Wei Lingfeng still knows restraint; he didn’t directly attack with his Nascent Soul realm, staying polite, and respectfully bowed, saying,
"Fellow Daoist, there’s no need to fret. I recently underwent the Heavenly Tribulation and was supposed to retreat to the Cloud Platform for quiet cultivation. But having witnessed a few matches earlier, I became intrigued, seizing the rare opportunity, thus requested my Junior Sister for her spot.
This time, I only seek to exchange a hundred moves with Fellow Daoist, purely to temper my Daoist Heart and refine my Daoist practice. After a hundred moves, I shall freely admit defeat."
What he said was quite logical, likely seeing how ruthless and unfeeling Chen Xuantian was, knowing full well his Junior Sister was not a match, so proactively stepped in to shield her from this tribulation.
Of course, even just having cleared the Heavenly Tribulation, Nascent Soul is still a level higher than Golden Core, especially within Mystic Sect duels, where they can easily harness the power of Heaven and Earth Spirit Qi, the Power of Heaven and Earth; the advantage is just too great.
Thus, Wei Lingfeng was embarrassed to leverage his strength, proposing only a hundred moves before admitting defeat, which wasn’t excessive. After all, the previous five couldn’t collectively make it past ten moves under Chen Xuantian. At least a hundred moves should allow the following three to understand Chen Xuantian’s skills, preventing them from getting instantly defeated.
However, it seems they’re really not the same person, right? The fool to be killed by Huangfu Yi later wasn’t this crafty, was he? Could it be they’re father and son or brothers?
Chen Xuantian was briefly bewildered; truthfully, though his insights were extraordinary, it was common for cultivators to suffer cultivation losses, but regression in realm was something he hadn’t heard of. Could it be this time he reincarnated again and refined to Golden Core?
"Do you have a twin brother, Fellow Daoist?"
Wei Lingfeng was also confused by the question,
"Why ask such a thing, Fellow Daoist? I am an orphan, raised from young by my grand master, apprenticed at Kongtong Mountain for cultivation."
Chen Xuantian cautiously inquired,
"So, may I ask, is your grand master one of the Five Elders or Four Elders..."
If it’s the Five Elders, naturally it’s the Five Elders of Five Directions, Kongtong Ancestor, Lord Taihe.
If it’s the Four Elders, then it’s the four disciples under the Ancestor, same sect senior brothers, Mystic Sect Old Gods.
Of course, regardless of which elder, Chen Xuantian couldn’t afford to offend them; he was just asking casually.
Wei Lingfeng replied openly,
"Grand master is the sect leader, Wuwei Divine Monarch."
Chen Xuantian feigned calculation with his fingers,
"Ah, I see you’re the Sect Leader’s Direct Disciple under Wuwei Divine Monarch’s seat, naturally, naturally. So, your Junior Sister belongs to Profound Truth God Monarch’s line?"
Wei Lingfeng was surprised,
"My Junior Sister hasn’t even entered the Mountain Gate yet; you’re able to calculate that too?"
Well, fundamentally, Tie Dan was dealt with by that old Xuanzhen back then, and Huangfu Yi is going to be messed with by your senior brother and junior sister; entangled affections and grudge bonds, evident that Sword Sect and Kongtong are due for another confrontation eventually. Chen Xuantian being idle just naturally needed to plan in advance, prepare accordingly, conduct thorough exploration, and analyze the enemy clearly.
