Chapter 131: Swift Blade, Stone Man (First Update Seeking Monthly Tickets and Subscription)

  Seeing Luo Hanshan's gaze, Ouyang Ming burst out with a surge of unnamed fire and roared: "Crippled Dragon Style!"

  One kick swept horizontally, the sharp leg strength tore through the air, emitting a mournful howl that struck the purple stone monument. In an instant, the dragon's illusory shadow reappeared, severed into several segments.

  Cough...cough...

  The purple stone monument was covered in cracks and suddenly exploded with a loud crash.

  Just then, a figure burst out of the shattered stone monument, a massive fist grasping the monument and slamming into Ouyang Ming in mid-air.

  "The Monument Shakes Heaven!"

  "I'll see how you can withstand my Dragon-Slaying Leg!" Ouyang Ming made two consecutive slashes at the stone tablet, using the force to suspend himself in mid-air. Seeing Luo Hanshan charging towards him, a ferocious smile spread across his face as he unleashed the most overbearing technique of the Dragon-Slaying Leg - the Slaughtering Dragon Style. The terrifying leg strength seemed capable of annihilating souls, and it let out a mournful hum.

  Rumble!

  Lu Hanshan was shocked and retreated over a dozen steps, while Ouyang Ming also failed to gain the upper hand. His body flipped over in mid-air before landing awkwardly on the ground.

  "Give me defeat!"

  "Crush them with a large stele!"

  Without any hesitation, the two clashed again, with a flurry of attacks that raged like a storm. Ouyang Ming's Dragon-Slaying Leg was ferocious and unmatched, almost rivaling mid-tier Earth-level martial techniques. Each kick could make one's heart and soul shatter, achieving victory without a fight. Luo Hanshan's Heavenly King Fist was slightly inferior to the Dragon-Slaying Leg, but the mysterious Purple Extreme Skill had reached the ninth level of purple energy, allowing him to tap into the power of the purple energy to enhance his martial technique, thus managing to keep up with Ouyang Ming's Dragon-Slaying Leg without falling behind.

  Three hundred moves!

  Five hundred moves!

  After six hundred moves, Zhuang Qingxian knew that he couldn't let them continue fighting. To determine the winner, they would need to exchange at least two thousand moves, and their cultivation was too low. Forcing a fight of two thousand moves could lead to exhaustion and death; even those in the Bao Yuan realm rarely engaged in such intense battles.

  A burst of energy shot out, separating the two. Zhuang Qingxian stood up and said, "Both of you, stop here! Today is a test of skills, there's no need to determine a winner."

  Liuyun Sect's Great Elder nodded his head, he had already seen that Luo Hanshan was not likely to win against Ouyang Ming, of course, the other party also couldn't win against Luo Hanshan, it was just that continuing to fight like this had no meaning.

  "Hmmph!"

  The Great Elder of the Zi Yang Sect looked displeased.

  Lu Hanshan did not make another move, slowly exhaling a mouthful of turbid air, and said lightly: "It seems that you won't be able to defeat me today."

  "You didn't win me either." Ouyang Ming suppressed his surging blood and energy.

  "One battle today. The outcome will be decided another day. The title of Master is waiting for you to take it."

  After finishing speaking, Luo Hanshan returned to his own position.

  Zhuang Qingxian took a deep breath and said, "Is there anyone else who wants to come up and challenge?"

  "Valley Master, I'm here." Liu Wuxiang walked out without making a sound.

  Zhuang Qingxian slightly raised an eyebrow, "Wu Xiang, who do you want to challenge?"

  Liu's cold and stern gaze fell on Lin Qi, "I've always heard that your quick knife is very fast, surpassing Beishan Gongzi, I don't know if it's true or false."

  Lin Qi stood up and said, "You will lose."

  "It's too early to talk about winning or losing, don't you think?"

  "My swift blade is based on speed, either I quickly defeat you or you are quickly defeated by me, there is no third possibility!" Lin Qi's face was expressionless. His apathetic demeanor looked even colder than Liu Wu Xiang's, cold to the core.

  "It seems I've heard of this before, and now I'm even more eager to experience it for myself." A strong fighting spirit emanated from Liu Wuxiang's body, in no way inferior to Ouyang Ming and Luo Hanshan, and perhaps even surpassing them.

  Thirty steps away from Liu Wu, Lin Qi took out a treasured sword from his storage ring.

  Ye Chen's eyes flashed with a strange color. Lin Qi didn't use the inferior treasure knife, Lietian Knife, it seemed he wanted to have a fair fight and defeat Liu Wuxiang with his own strength.

  "Draw your sword!"

  Liu Wuxiang's body emitted a bright blue airflow, which was extremely sharp and seemed to be serrated like a saw blade. The air that came into contact with it was twisted and cut apart, making a hissing sound.

  Clang!

  The sword was drawn out, and Lin Qi's figure had already disappeared. A white light like a swift and fierce dragon flashed out, slashing at the protective true energy surrounding Liu Wuxiang.

  Hmph!

  That layer of azure energy flow was cut off, and Liu Wuxiang didn't even have time to react.

  "So fast!"

  Liu's pupils constricted, and a huge wave surged up in his heart. Although he had known beforehand that Lin Qi was formidable and might have already reached the level of Beishan Gongzi, he hadn't expected his opponent's quick knife to be so fast that it slowed down his reaction speed by a beat.

  He didn't dare to slack off, and the green aura around him surged violently, forming a suit of dark green armor that was as thick as a city wall. The edges had huge spikes protruding from them, making him look like an ancient demon reincarnated, with defense capabilities that were extremely powerful.

  Clang clang clang clang clang......

  But next, Lin Qi's quick knife struck again.

  No human figure can be seen, only a snow-white knife light like a galloping horse, cutting through the air, striking again and again on Liu Wuxiang's azure true energy armor, producing a fierce metallic explosion sound.

  "The Thirty-First Slash!"

  Boom!

  A blade of light condensed into a tangible substance stretched out exaggeratedly, reaching dozens of meters in length, passing through Liu Wuxiang's waist.

  The long sword returned to its scabbard, and Lin Qi walked back to his own position.

  "What's going on? The outcome hasn't been decided yet?"

  "Could it be that Lin Qi knows he can't beat Liu Wu Xiang and isn't preparing for a duel?"

  Just as everyone was puzzled, the true energy armor outside Liu Wuxiang's body suddenly burst into a loud explosion, and only a pale figure stood there.

  The crow on the field is silent, and then a stone stirs up a thousand waves.

  "Willow - none - phase, lost!"

  "With just thirty-one moves, Liu Wuxiang lost."

  "Liu Wuxiang is a publicly recognized Gongzi-level expert, and if Lin Qi can defeat him, that means Lin Qi's strength has already reached the same level as Beixue Gongzi and Duanmu Gongzi, or even surpassed them."

  "Bei Xue Kuai Dao is indeed Bei Xue Kuai Dao, fast to the extreme, without any fancy moves."

  The corners of Yu Yue's mouth curled up into an arc, these people probably still don't know yet! In the mountain villa, Big Brother Bei Xue Gong Zi had already fought a match with Lin Qi, neither side emerging victorious, but in Yu Yue's eyes, it was Lin Qi who won because he was still improving and never stopped.

  "Bei Xue's swift blade lives up to its reputation."

  "The world's martial arts, nothing can withstand the onslaught, only speed is unbreakable. Speed is not just about being fast, its other meaning is attacking power. When speed reaches a certain realm, a piece of paper or a leaf can pierce through iron armor and kill without warning." Ye Chen saw more clearly than anyone else that Lin Qi's initial attack power was not exceptionally strong, but after his speed increased explosively, he could easily cut through Liu Wuxiang's true energy armor, and each attack was probing for weaknesses to prepare for the final blow.

  Upon hearing this, Luo Hanshan and Xu Jing's gazes turned to him, it was the first time they had heard such a straightforward and easy-to-understand theory, and they seemed to be deep in thought.

  The four elders and the great elder looked at each other, feeling a bit puzzled by Ye Chen. He was so young, how could he understand so much, and his words were very reasonable, hitting the nail on the head.

  Nan Luo Zong Yu Xia Nan Gong Yun shook his head, "It's unbelievable how fast he is. This person is the number one under the three great young masters, no, maybe even the number one under the Jadeite Young Master."

  Yuan Xue Mei exclaimed in surprise: "Second Shixiong, he's that formidable!"

  "He has already grasped the profound meaning of speed, and every move and style can bring out his own ultimate limit. To contend with him, one must be either faster than him or have a cultivation far superior to his. Of course, my vision is limited, perhaps there are other ways to deal with him."

  This battle made Lin Qi's reputation even more resounding. Although he didn't have the title of "Young Master", in everyone's hearts, they already regarded him as the new Young Master.

  After watching Bei Xue's swift and fierce battle, the subsequent matches seemed dull in comparison. Everyone was eagerly anticipating what other heavyweight battles were to come next.

  A game is over!

  The stone is broken and the sky rises, it's time.

  Everyone looked at Shi Po Tian with curiosity, wondering who he was going to challenge.

  "Ye Chen, your strength is quite impressive. There aren't many young experts in Tianfeng Country who can surpass you. I wonder if you'll accept my challenge? Of course, if you don't accept, I won't force it, but it would be a bit of a pity." As soon as he started, Shi Potian gave Ye Chen a high hat, and with this high hat, he could fight his opponent with a clear conscience and destroy his Half-Step Sword Intent.

  As expected, everyone thought it was reasonable. The scene of Ye Chen defeating Cheng Jun was still vivid in their minds. Compared to the old-timers, he might be a bit inferior as a young master, but he still had the qualifications for a match. After all, this wasn't a life-or-death battle, just a performance to test each other's skills.

  Ye Chen didn't mind the other's nonsense and nodded: "Okay."

  The corners of his mouth curved into an arc, Shi Po Tian Xin's heart was filled with a sly smile, he had finally waited for this moment, and wondered what expression you would have after the battle ended.

  Two people stand facing each other.

  Next moment!

  The stone shattered on Tian's body, bursting forth with a brilliant glassy light that was mixed with pure gold, perfectly blended together, like gold but not gold, like jade but not jade, causing his skin, hair and even eyes to be dyed with color, as if he was no longer a flesh-and-blood body.

  "The Ninth Layer of the Lapis Lazuli Seal, the Lapis Lazuli Golden Body!"

  "The Liuli Jue is the most powerful defensive technique among the low-level defensive techniques of the Feicui Valley. Once it reaches the ninth level, the Liuli Golden Body, swords and spears cannot penetrate, water and fire cannot invade, its defense is several times stronger than that of a demon beast of the same level, and it can basically stand undefeated."

  "With a body protected by crystal armor, Ye Chen didn't even have a single chance, it's just unknown how many moves he could withstand."

  Ye Chen glanced at Shi Po Tian's body and nodded: "I also practiced a defensive technique, I don't know whose is stronger."

  As he spoke, Ye Chen's body shook and a brilliant light burst forth from his body, but it was not the color of crystal, but rather jade. A layer of jade-like luster covered his skin, his muscles became well-defined, his facial features sharp as if carved by a knife, like a beautiful jade statue come to life.

  Tempering Jade and Strengthening Body Fifth Formula!

  The diamond-like body has reached the realm of great accomplishment.

  Buzz!

  The scene was once again boiling, Shi Po Tian's nickname "Stone Man" was due to his extremely high defense, as stable as a rock. Ye Chen surprisingly also cultivated a defensive technique, from the outside, it seemed not inferior to Shi Po Tian's Luminous Jade Technique.

  Two major defensive techniques clash, who will win in the end?
