Chapter 520 - 18: Exchange of Blows
The group arrived at the Martial Arts Arena, each standing in place.
Facing Luoxian, Fang Zheng spoke slowly, his voice filled with emotion:
"Speaking of it, Fang has had deep connections with Pure Yang Palace. Back then, it was thanks to Daoist Tieguan that Fang could enter the Martial Dao."
"Zhang Mingrui from Pure Yang Palace is even one of Fang’s closest friends."
In this world, he doesn’t have many friends, among the living, Zhang Mingrui is definitely one of them.
"The younger generation has heard of this." Luoxian nodded:
"Uncle Zhang achieved greatness late, accomplishing the rank of Great Mage from merely an Outer Disciple, his determination is admirable."
"What a pity!"
She changed her tone, saying:
"Uncle strayed onto a wrong path, actually aligning with traitorous ministers, he’s been stripped of his Pure Yang Palace disciple status. I hope the senior won’t associate him with Pure Yang Palace in the future."
"Hmm..." Fang Zheng nodded:
"Indeed."
How could he not know of this matter?
Back when Gu’an County faced issues with the embankment, Zhang Mingrui reported the situation, hoping to reinforce the riverbank to protect the populace from floods.
Alas?
The County Magistrate at the time ignored this for his own interests, resulting in the embankment bursting, displacing hundreds of thousands.
Had Fang Zheng not intervened in time, Zhang Mingrui would also have been silenced.
Disheartened, he left for distant lands, and when news came again, he had joined the resistance against the Imperial Court.
Thinking back now, it’s all lamentable!
"Come now!"
Pushing aside these distractions, Fang Zheng waved his sleeve:
"Let me witness the Dharma Gate of Pure Yang Palace."
"Yes."
Luoxian responded, clasping her fist in salute:
"Senior, be cautious."
"Clang..."
As her voice fell, the long sword at her waist was already unsheathed, the sharp Sword Intent aimed straight at Fang Zheng from several meters away.
There was also a surge of Pure Yang Righteous Energy, bursting forth through her body.
Pure Yang Skill!
This skill trains True Qi to be Supreme Yang, counteracting sinister energies, and can even unlock bodily potential and restore injuries.
It’s said.
When Pure Yang Skill reaches mastery, achieving the level of a Martial Arts Grandmaster, even severed arms can regenerate.
"Swish!"
With the sword in hand, Luoxian suddenly lunged forward.
Immortal’s Guidance!
This is a technique commonly used when juniors seek advice from seniors, showing respect by slightly bowing the body.
However...
Luoxian’s sword was incredibly fast, in a blink she had crossed several meters, with the sword tip nearly reaching the chest before one could react.
Ordinary techniques, in her hands, wielded formidable power.
"Watch out!"
Linghu Qiuchan turned pale, instinctively calling out.
"Aunt, don’t worry."
Linghu Changping chuckled:
"Luoxian knows her limits, she won’t harm Uncle..., looks like Uncle will be fine too."
The midway change of tone was naturally due to the unexpected turn of events in the arena.
Flawless,
also varies in strength.
Being a Loose Cultivator without heritage, advancing to Flawless by chance, such Flawless Martial Artists are undoubtedly the weakest.
Fang Zheng,
is seen as such in others’ eyes.
Thus, although the two had recently advanced to Flawless, they didn’t feel much of a gap with Fang Zheng.
Perhaps they would lose, but the chances of winning were not small, after all, Luoxian was second on the celestial pride ranking.
Both had faced several Flawless Martial Artists, so they understood their own power clearly.
But the situation in the arena was vastly unexpected.
"Ding..."
The sound of collision rang out.
Fang Zheng flicked his finger lightly, releasing Giant Power from the fingertip, causing Luoxian’s long sword to tremble violently, forcing her to leap backward.
What great strength!
What terrifying physique!
The Dharma Gate he cultivated is definitely not ordinary!
Her eyes narrowed, she thrusted her sword once more, this time no longer holding back.
Purple Star Sword Technique!
This swordsmanship is Pure Yang Palace’s top sword art, when wielded, it shines like starlight, attacking foes with profound mysterious power.
It is a Magic and Martial Arts Cultivation Technique.
In the arena, the dancing sword light seemed like stars falling to the ground, an invisible pressure enveloped the vast Martial Arts Arena.
Not bad!
Fang Zheng raised his eyebrows.
A typical Flawless might truly not withstand this young girl’s might.
Regrettably...
As the starlight descended, about to engulf Fang Zheng, a terrifying aura suddenly erupted from the arena.
It was like a volcanic eruption!
This aura was not only vast but extremely concentrated, scattering the starlight instantly and distorting Luoxian’s perception.
Although the person was right in front, somehow it felt as if he was far away, this sword simply couldn’t thrust forward regardless.
Disaster!
Her heart pounded wildly, Luoxian withdrew her sword for defense.
As her Sword Form changed, the starlight immediately contracted inward, enveloping her completely.
"Bang!"
Xingyi Twelve Forms!
Bear Form!
Within the sweeping movements was the Horizontal Fist, rising and falling diagonally from left and right, Fang Zheng’s hands transformed into Bear Paw, striking in a chain.
Each of his palms contained terrifying Power, the concentration of Power with each strike made the Sword Form tremble.
Moreover, the timing of his strikes was impeccable, within several meters, Luoxian’s Sword Form was already showing signs of instability.
Cute face,
was also flushed red.
"Transforming Qi into Form!"
Gang Qi condensed outside Fang Zheng’s body, forming a giant bear, the seemingly random Bear Paw strikes placed Luoxian in grave danger.
"Uncle."
Linghu Changping’s face changed upon seeing this, immediately calling out lowly as he lunged forward:
"Let me learn a thing or two as well."
An ability to Transforming Qi into Form is rare among Flawless Martial Artists throughout Zhaonan Prefecture.
The two teaming up wouldn’t feel disgraceful.
"Good!"
Fang Zheng smiled lightly, retreated slightly:
"Let me see what you’ve learned in Pure Yang Palace these years."
"Uncle, be careful!"
Linghu Changping called out lowly, as the long sword in his hand emitted rays of sunset light, the radiance brightly dazzling, with extraordinary might.
Sunset Cloud Sword!
This swordsmanship was created by a master who observed the sunset, with techniques that are profound, ever-changing, and fiercely aggressive.
Moreover,
it can be used alongside Purple Star Sword Technique.
The two swords combined, their power surged, sword Qi howled in the arena, swirling like wind, covering the shadowy figures inside.
"Ding..."
