Chapter 216 - 216: 192 Furious Battle; Inviting You to Tiandu to Slay the Dragon (5.2K Asking for Monthly Subscriptions)_2
The battle was a manifestation of the philosophy of fast versus slow, and slow against fast. Movement and stillness interplayed mysteriously, creating churns of dust around them.
“Sect Leader, take my punch!” Pei Xuanjing roared.
His robe fluttered, his long hair billowed in the wind, and the punch he threw echoed with countless explosive sounds, whipping up an immense wind, reminiscent of thunder, hurtling outwards.
With just his punch, he forsook fancy techniques and relied entirely on raw power, as if all the energies of Heaven and Earth converged into this punch, causing the universe to tremble.
Pei Xuanjing’s punch was as mighty as the formidable punch method used by Grand Tutor Bahe Siba of Great Yuan in the Illusion Domain, reaching seventy percent of its power.
If they were to spar again now, even without the Ten Thousand-Forged Divine Weapon, he would have the strength to face Bahe Siba.
Boom…
The sound shook Heaven and Earth, magnificent and powerful.
The intense, domineering force of his punch was like the turbulent flow of the Heavenly River, rushing towards the distance, unstoppable and unyielding.
“Good!”
Zhao Baiyang let out a long roar, his Qi rolled around him, his palms fluctuated, and his sturdy Blood Qi boiled and rolled, his True Qi raged wildly.
With this wave of his hand, countless waves of Qi swept out, the fierce waves lifting countless boulders, breaking trees, altering the colors of Heaven and Earth, even causing the earth to quake.
His ten fingers flickered continuously, and then his palms met, forming a series of complex hand signals, as if creating thousands of variations.
The thick True Qi and Blood Qi interwoven disorderly , forming a transparent colorless lotus out of thin air.
The colorless lotus spun rapidly between his palms, with numerous True Qi and Blood Qi converging within it.
The formidable, majestic, sacred, and terrifying aura was born within the lotus.
This was a unique skill from the Divine Powers that Zhao Baiyang practiced in the Mire Sect, even with his strength, it was extremely difficult to unleash.
Both of them were fighting with their strongest methods without resorting to weapons.
Then, the punch collided with the colorless lotus.
Humming…
The intense collision sound shook Heaven and Earth. It was an ear-splitting roar akin to a silent explosion next to one’s ear.
Then, a thunderous sound akin to an explosion from the nine heavens echoed through the sky, exponentially louder than the sounds caused by the previous fights between the two.
The turbulent sea of clouds in the sky quickly dispersed, leaving only the azure sky. Countless currents of air swept in all directions, causing clouds to stir.
The mountain where they were stood fragmented, the rocks shattered, and almost all of the trees were broken at the waist.
Whoosh…
The gusts ceased, and the dust dissipated.
Pei Xuanjing and Zhao Baiyang were about a hundred feet away from each other, standing opposite each other.
“Your strength far exceeds my expectations. I admit defeat this time.” Zhao Baiyang put his hands behind his back. Even in defeat, he appeared calm and composed.
Of course, if one failed to notice his trembling hands behind his back, he would appear even more magnanimous in his calm demeanor.
He was astounded by the strength Pei Xuanjing demonstrated today. He had stopped addressing himself as ‘Sect Leader’ and started using a more humble self-reference ‘I’, indicating his high regard for Pei Xuanjing.
From today, he treated Pei Xuanjing not as a junior but as a worthy opponent, as a ‘Taoist Friend’ on his path to the pinnacle of Martial Arts.
Undeniably, judging solely by their fight, Pei Xuanjing was indeed superior to him.
Although he had some tricks up his sleeve that he hadn’t revealed yet, wasn’t that the case for Pei Xuanjing as well? Remember, he was known for his swordsmanship, but he hadn’t used it during their fight.
“Thank you for conceding, Sect Leader,” Pei Xuanjing said calmly, smiling faintly.
With one hand resting on the back, he looked at Zhao Baiyang in the distance and thought, “He is indeed very powerful. Even with the Shenxiao Sword, it’s easy to defeat him, but hard to kill him.”
In their previous fight, apart from not using any weapons, they almost used their strongest fighting powers.
Although Pei Xuanjing did win, it didn’t mean he could kill Zhao Baiyang. If Zhao Baiyang wanted to escape, he wouldn’t be able to stop him.
“So, are you ready to have a chat with me now, Brother Pei?” A slight smile appeared on Zhao Baiyang’s face.
With the strength that Pei Xuanjing had just demonstrated, Zhao Baiyang was enthralled and determined to pull him into his plans.
“No more fighting,” Pei Xuanjing said calmly.
There was no need to continue.
Even with the Shenxiao Sword, Pei Xuanjing was unsure about killing Zhao Baiyang.
If he didn’t have a Thousand Refinement Divine Weapon, given his position as the Maitreya Sect Leader, it would be a joke. If the latter were to produce a Ten Thousand-Forged Divine Weapon, Pei Xuanjing wouldn’t be surprised.
The White Lotus Sect had a long-standing inheritance and profound background. The Mire Sect was one of its most powerful branches. If they didn’t have a Divine Weapon to suppress their forces, no one would believe it.
The Holy Flame Sect, even now a fallen house, still had six Sacred Fire Orders that catalyzed the Ten Thousand-Forged Divine Weapon, so what about the Mire Sect?
