Chapter 1420 - 673: Black and White Pieces 2
At this moment, the surrounding flames gradually subsided, the fire from all directions gathered to form a golden sun rising halfway into the sky, like a radiant sunrise, a magnificent dawn.
The Golden Core is formed.
Tie Dan sighed with relief at the sight, knowing that no one is perfect, but acknowledging that this young man’s temperament wasn’t great, although his comprehension was indeed quite impressive.
Not only was his talent in Inner Strength astonishing, mastering the Qi Manipulation Technique quickly and deftly, he managed to control the rampaging Sun Power within and instantly condensed the Sun Golden Core. Moreover, his natural talent in swordsmanship was at a pinnacle; just watching the duel between the two, he could enter a state of Body and Heart Enlightenment, truly a seed of Dao with a sword heart, worthy of cultivation under his tutelage.
Yet, such a promising seed is likely to be possessed by Gods and Demons today, a real pity...
Tie Dan turned his head to look at the Black and White Pieces over there.
To be fair, even though Zhu Yu’er is an exceptionally rare genius of this age, these two are completely defying the heavens.
Taking advantage of Zhu Yu’er’s Enlightenment-induced trance, with his Dao Body Sun Golden Core ownerless for the moment, the White Piece launched a new offense, seizing the gap as the Black Piece remained preoccupied, pinched the formula for Qi Manipulation, leveraged peak Sword Control Skill, abruptly borrowing Qi from the massive solar mass above! Swords fell like rain, countless Fire Swords shot forth like dragons, a sky-full barrage aimed at the Black Piece!
However, the Black Piece had his skills too. With cunning and unyielding calmness, he did not vie with the White Piece for control over the Sun Golden Core, instead flipping the dual swords into a dense Sword Circle like a black screen, responding and neutralizing, refining and countering, turning the Sun Sword Rain on the blade, adapting to his use, magnifying the sword power, attacking with his opponent’s Dao.
The White Piece’s move just now was merely probing. Seeing the situation revealed the Black Piece’s Qi Manipulation Skills were more solid than swordsmanship, indicating non-aggression means inability to contest. Thus, he would not hold back!
Changing tactics immediately, pinching the mantra, raising the treasure sword, a moment later the Sun Sword Falls transformed, charging towards the White Piece, surrounding him, to form a dazzling Sword Ball of golden light! No doubt, it was Tie Dan’s improved Yao Guang Sword Ball move!
White Piece enveloped himself in the Sword Ball, protecting himself with immeasurable sword power, as if he became the sun himself, emitting myriad rays of sword light! Lifting his right hand White Sword, shooting vast Sword Rainbow, Sun Sword Fire, blasting like a death ray, forcing the Black Piece to evade, unable to counter!
On the other hand, with his left hand, manipulating Qi, continuously absorbing infinite True Qi from the sun beside him! Seizing heavenly light, adapting for his use! The Sword Ball around him kept growing and strengthening!
The saying goes that there cannot be two suns in the sky! The sun on the side visibly shrank! The Sword Ball seemingly intended to replace it! Clearly, the White Piece ceased to pretend or hide, and directly began to seize control!
The Black Piece couldn’t let this happen! Immediately abandoning evasion, crossing dual swords to directly meet the Sunlight Sword! Spinning and dancing, turning his double blades, suddenly transformed into a spinning top! Swirling like a black whirlwind! Directly catching the incoming Death Light Sword Fire, drawing in Destruction Sword Power into the black vortex, similarly transforming into Sun Dao Power! Utilizing centrifugal force from spinning, forming a brilliant golden ring of light! Also beginning to contest the True Sun Radiance Power!
You might say Zhu Yu’er had a blessing in disguise, after all, his original overwhelming internal Sun Power risked fusion that might lead to possession, body explosion, and transforming into a nuclear bomb.
Now, with these Black and White Pieces battling magic, both siphoning Zhu Yu’er’s Dao Power like crazy from within, ironically reducing his pressure significantly, allowing him to gradually regain control. Thus, as if manifesting three suns in the Divine Court, the three achieving a delicate balance.
Tie Dan was scratching his head at the moment. The situation essentially turned into inner power competition. If he intervened hastily, stabbing either might disrupt the balance, potentially resulting in uncontrolled self-detonation.
Yet, if left unchecked, letting them resolve among themselves, it’s predictable that Zhu Yu’er’s true Life Soul would fail to endure, extinguished and torn to pieces, consumed by these foreign Gods and Demons. Subsequently, the Black and White Pieces would compete for supremacy, ascertain victory, ultimately destined to die in body explosion together, or winner-takes-all: Demon God descends.
Nevertheless, in this scenario, Tie Dan felt incapable of acting, having silently calculated alongside, realizing all three bore teacher-disciple ties with him. The palm and the back of the hand were equally precious, whoever he harmed felt wrong. Yet it seemed unreasonable, for these three should indeed have no deep relationship with him.
Thus, Tie Dan knew clearly at this moment, likely the Black and White Pieces, in preparation for today’s endeavor to possess Zhu Yu’er, accounted for all possibilities, including him as the largest variable, ensuring he fulfilled his teacher-disciple bond, forcing him into inaction, accepting the situation passively.
But, truly not intervene?
While Tie Dan felt unable to deprive any of their chance at life, conversely he didn’t wish to witness their internecine conflict, not wanting anyone to be consumed ultimately.
