Chapter 65: Burning Heaven and Leaving Water (Second Update)

  "Should we call it off?" Yan Le furrowed his brow, looking at the disheveled Zuo Mo in the arena, with a hint of discontent. Previously, he thought Luo Li was somewhat arrogant, but overall still quite good, yet today's match made him feel extremely unfavorable towards Luo Li. Although he wasn't as strong as Xin Yan, he was after all a Golden Dan cultivator, how could he not see clearly? Luo Li obviously had the upper hand, yet he was toying with his opponent like a cat playing with a mouse.

  No matter how many grievances they had between them, they were after all fellow disciples and brothers. Now that things have come to this pass, it's a bit too much.

  He also wondered why Zuo Mo was so stubborn, he had clearly given Zuo Mo a set of spiritual armor, but Zuo Mo hadn't worn it on his body. He didn't know that earlier, Zuo Mo had been practicing swordplay in the river and had naturally taken off the spiritual armor, and when he came back, he had forgotten to put it back on.

  Glancing at Shi Fengrong's pale face, Pei Yuanran smiled and said, "No rush, no rush." Then he pondered and said, "This rule will have to be changed later on."

  "Not bad." Yan Le agreed: "In the past, their relationship between brothers was not bad, and nothing like this had ever happened. Now that the situation in our school is complicated, it's better to change the rules."

  In the arena, Zuo was panting heavily, all external sounds being unconsciously blocked out by him. He stared intently at Luo Li, who was only ten paces away from him.

  He caught it!

  Caught that extremely subtle fluctuation!

  "The Empty Sword Art" is like hiding in thin air, making it hard to find where the flying sword is.

  However, Luo Li deliberately revealed a flaw to embarrass Zuo Mo, giving him time to dodge. But he absolutely did not think that this flaw he intentionally left would allow Zuo Mo to discover a characteristic of the "Empty Sword Manual"!

  It must be said that "Kong Jian Jue" is indeed a top-notch sword technique, and so far, Zuo Mo still hasn't found out where Luo Li's flying sword is. This is the amazing part of "Kong Jian Jue", it can make the flying sword hide in thin air, then suddenly pierce through the air to harm people, giving one a feeling of being unarmed.

  However, Luo Li was far from reaching the state of "Sword Intent as Empty".

  An extremely slight fluctuation, just before the flying sword appears, there will be an extremely small spiritual power fluctuation. This spiritual power fluctuation is extremely subtle, mixed in an unstable environment, and is easily overlooked.

  However, Luo's repeated teasing also allowed Zuo Mo, who was highly focused, to catch on to this characteristic!

  Zuomoxiu was far inferior to Luoli in terms of physical strength, but his spiritual awareness had to be far superior to that of Luoli, which was also the key for him to capture this subtle fluctuation.

  As long as I grasp this fluctuation, the void sword will no longer be untraceable!

  A face smeared with mud and sweat, with two deep red flames of madness dancing in his eyes!

  Luo's triumphant smile gradually disappeared. Previously, every time he made a move, Zuo Mo's disheveled appearance would elicit quite a few snickers. But later on, the laughter grew fewer and farther between, until now the entire arena was silent as the dead. No matter how disheveled Zuo Mo became, there wasn't a single sound.

  This made Luo Li feel very uncomfortable, he decided to end this increasingly dull contest with the move he had just figured out.

  The mocking expression on his face disappeared, and he became solemn, with spiritual energy circulating throughout his body.

  The air seemed to have solidified, becoming desolate and oppressive. The faces of all the outer sect disciples who were watching changed color, a heavy pressure that was as if it had substance made them unable to evade!

  Luo Li Shixiong, has actually reached this realm?

  Even the few inner disciples couldn't help but reveal a look of horror on their faces. Luo Li's cultivation was stronger than theirs, but they never thought that Brother Luo Li would be so strong!

  "Huh!" Yan Le's eyes suddenly burst out with two sharp glints. The other few people looked at the scene with solemn faces.

  "Be careful, junior brother." Pei Yuanyan said in a low voice to Xin Yan. His eyes were fixed tightly on Luo Li, with a hint of excitement in his eyes. How could he not see that this was a combination of the "Empty Sword Manual" and the "Formless Sword Manual"?

  "Kong Jian Jue" and "Wu Xing Jian Jue" originated from the same source. In those years, "Wu Kong Jian Jue" was split into two sword manuals: one is "Kong Jian Jue", and the other is "Wu Xing Jian Jue". For so many years, many people have wanted to reassemble these two sword manuals, but no one has succeeded yet.

  If Xinyan hadn't cultivated the "Ice Dragon Sword Manual" back then, he would have definitely done this. In fact, as long as one cultivates either of these two sword manuals, they will think of ways to reorganize both sword manuals.

  So when they saw Luo Li's move, Pei Yuanran and the other three were immediately attracted.

  The practice method of "Wu Kong Jian Jue" is unknown, but the records about this sword technique are numerous. All the records mention a sentence: "Intention moves, momentum rises."

  With Luo Li's cultivation, unless he grasped the sword intent, it would be absolutely impossible to trigger such a powerful momentum. However, in the eyes of these masters like Xin Yan, whether Luo Li had grasped the sword intent or not was clear at a glance. Then there was only one possibility - Sword Formula Reorganization!

  How can this not excite them?

  Zuo Mo didn't know any of this, his eyes only had Luo Li, only that undulation! Luo Li's aura was extremely frightening, but in Zuo Mo's eyes, it was far from being as intimidating as before - the undulations were too strong!

  This time the fluctuation of spiritual power was so strong that he almost didn't need to exert himself, and he could accurately determine its specific location, clearer than any previous time.

  The previous sword move, although its momentum was far from comparable to this one, had a subtle wave that was extremely fine. If not for Zuo Mo's strong spiritual awareness, he wouldn't have even noticed it.

  Come on!

  Zuo Mo's pupils suddenly constricted as the floating ice crystal sword fell into his hands.

  Bowing half-kneeling, body slightly bent, sword tip pointing to the ground, eyes slightly closed, all flames, all fighting desires, all beliefs, are slowly retracting and introverted.

  Zuo Mo was like a dirty stone statue, motionless.

  Luo Li saw Zuo Mo's appearance and a cold smile floated up at the corner of his mouth.

  In the face of absolute power, any resistance is futile! Moreover, he wants to let the gatekeepers see, see his potential, see that he is better than Wei Sheng, and he wants to take back what belongs to him!

  He didn't notice that at this time, Xin Yan's attention shifted from him to Zuo Mo. The usually cold and stern face rarely showed a look of surprise.

  Luó Lí didn't notice; if he had noticed, perhaps he would have thought about the mystery within.

  He raised his right hand, fingers intertwined like a sword, spiritual energy circulating!

  Some of the more observant outer sect disciples immediately noticed that around the Ice Crystal Sword hanging from Zuo Mo's waist, a faint layer of white mist was surrounding it, making it seem as if Zuo Mo was carrying a ball of fog.

  Luó Lí felt that the timing was just right, he didn't hesitate to launch a swift and precise slash with his fingers shaped like a sword towards Zuǒ Mò's left side!

  All the accumulated momentum seemed to find a vent and surged wildly in the direction of Luo Li's lightly swiped finger.

  At this moment, Zuo Mo suddenly opened his eyes!

  Like a lifeless stone statue that suddenly came to life, the bright eyes had a crimson glow, like bloodshot pupils, and like a raging fire burning with his fighting spirit and conviction! In the instant he opened his eyes, all the pent-up power burst out!

  With all his might, he swung his sword against the current and struck with a loud crash!

  "Leave!"

  A hoarse voice mixed with explosions, as if a fireball had burst open!

  Building momentum for a long time, just for this move, all spiritual power, all divine consciousness, without any reservation, all poured into this move "Li Shui Fen Tian"!

  His eyes widened in anger, his face twisted like a jumping flame!

  Lu's face changed greatly, what is this?

  He clearly saw countless jumping flames, countless flames filled with violent breath, but why? They were obviously water!

  Impossible!

  This is impossible!

  That damned zombie was clearly using the Waterway Sword Art! How could it possibly transform into fire?

  It must be said that "Li Shui Jian Jue" is a very unusual sword manual, and this strangeness is not only reflected in the water-like fire, but also in its sword moves. There are seven moves in total, and the first six moves are all typical water-style sword manuals, walking on the path of water. Anyone who has just come into contact with it will naturally classify it as a typical water-style sword manual. Only at the last move did it suddenly make a big turn, controlling water like fire.

  Without mastering the final move "Li Shui Fen Tian", it is impossible to truly comprehend the "Li Shui Jian Jue". All the essence of the "Li Shui Jian Jue" lies in this last move, and even those who cultivate it find it hard to think of, let alone those who fight against it.

  Moreover, the sword moves made by Left Mo earlier, although exquisite and smooth, did not reveal a hint of sword intent in every move.

  Zuo Mo thought it very clearly, the sword intent was his only chance of winning. Once the opponent had a defense, he didn't even have a glimmer of hope. So in the previous moves, whether it was "Flowing Water", or "Seven Churns" and "Layered Ripples", he hadn't infused any sword intent into them.

  Right up until now!

  In front of Zuo Mo, a rift suddenly appeared, emitting an aura of terror, like a primordial giant beast that seemed to want to devour people!

  Several people's faces showed surprise and delight, but only Xin Yan's gaze was fixed tightly on Zuo Mo.

  What will appear in the crack? Flying sword?

  Zuo Mo's entire body was ablaze, his eyes glowing bright red as he let out a loud roar. Without any hesitation, he swung the ice crystal sword with all his might, and a layer of eerie, transparent flames appeared on its surface.

  All of the disciples, whether outer or inner, none could remain calm! Even Qin Cheng, who was normally composed, couldn't help but change color in his face!

  Sword Intention!

  That's the will of the sword!

  In their eyes, Zuo Mo was like a flame, a strange and transparent water-like flame!

  Power! Fierce and violent power, with Zuo Mo as the center, rumbling outward.

  Luo Li was finally shocked, and he couldn't care about anything else anymore, his entire body's spiritual energy went crazy!

  The heavy-as-a-thousand-jin ice crystal sword suddenly became light, and the strange water-shaped flame emerged from the sword, transforming into a cup of faintly burning water-shaped fire sword, accurately hitting that crack!

  Boom!

  Everyone in front of their eyes was a vast expanse of white, nothing could be seen, and the ears were buzzing, nothing could be heard. The disciples who got close only felt that they had been pushed hard by someone, and the whole person retreated seven or eight steps before stopping.

  It wasn't until after a long while that everyone's eyes returned to normal. When they finally saw clearly, everyone was completely stunned.

  In the square, a huge pit, in the pit, Luo Mo's upper body was naked, his clothes disappeared, and he maintained a sword-wielding posture, motionless, with the light in his eyes fading away, like a stone statue.

  On the edge of the deep pit, Luo Li's mouth was bleeding from the corner, his hair was disheveled, and his clothes were tattered. His eyes stared fixedly at Zuo Mo.

  Hmph!

  Luo Li's senior brother suddenly spat out a mouthful of fresh blood and fell backwards!

  At the same time, Zuo Mo remained in his sword-wielding stance, silently falling to the ground.

  I even sacrificed Qixi Festival for this, collectibles and red envelopes, come on everyone!
