Chapter 1163 - 1163 1160 Fight Law
Chapter 1163: Chapter 1160 Fight Law Chapter 1163: Chapter 1160 Fight Law “Friend Lu, Junior Brother Zhuang, since you two are determined to engage in a duel, there are some things that must be said upfront.”
Yan Li stepped forward, speaking with a solemn expression.
“Your respective backgrounds are the Dongxuan Sword Sect and the Fire God Palace, so under no circumstances should there be any deadly strikes, lest the amity between the two sects be harmed.”
Lu Xuan and Zhuang Chunqiu nodded in unison, expressing their understanding.
News of the duel between two Nascent Soul cultivators spread like wildfire, and in less than the time it takes for ten breaths, more than ten Nascent Soul cultivators had surrounded them, watching the two entrants silently.
As for the Jindan Cultivators, they were kept out by prohibitions and restrictions, to prevent them from being affected by the aftereffects of the duel.
“Which of our junior brothers do you think will win?”
“Both logically and emotionally, it would be Junior Brother Zhuang.”
“That’s right, Junior Brother Zhuang has been at the Nascent Soul Realm for over a hundred years and is rumored to be on the verge of breaking through to the middle stage. Furthermore, having the home field advantage, it is hard to imagine him being defeated by that Friend Lu.”
“But Friend Lu is also a Spirit Plant Master!”
A woman in palace dress said with a light laugh.
“Ha-ha, what junior sister says is quite true. It’s said that Friend Lu is obsessed with Spirit Plants, seldom leaving the Sword Sect and has rarely been heard of dueling with any Nascent Soul cultivators. He must have very little experience in duels.”
“The only variable is what protective treasure the Dongxuan Sword Sect will bestow upon Friend Lu.”
The crowd murmured among themselves, not very optimistic about Lu Xuan’s prospects.
“Friend Lu, I impose upon you!”
Zhuang Chunqiu gave a courtesy fist salute, then his whole being transformed into a ball of flames and vanished directly from in front of Lu Xuan.
“What a wondrous Fire Escape Technique, merging with the special environment of the Fire God Palace as one; an ordinary early-stage Nascent Soul cultivator probably would find it very difficult to perceive his whereabouts.”
Lu Xuan mused to himself, as seven deep azure Flying Swords appeared before him.
Although he was just a White Lotus Avatar, he was not comparable to ordinary early-stage Nascent Soul cultivators.
Having cultivated a high-level visualization method like the “Starlitting Thought” that enhances Divine Sense, constantly nourished by the Yellow Millet Jade Pillow, having entered Huangliang Village unknowingly numerous times, and having consumed countless Treasure Items like the Divine Spirit-Nourishing Tea Leaves, his Divine Sense had long since surpassed that of same-level cultivators.
Sensing carefully, his Divine Sense could catch some slight anomalies around.
“Boom!”
A fire fist about a zhang in size (around 3.3 meters) shot out from the lava below, reaching the soles of Lu Xuan’s feet in an instant, its scorching breath seemingly wanting to burn him to ash.
“Bring it on!”
Lu Xuan, well-prepared, released a cyan sword light several zhang long, flickering uncertainly, which horizontally slashed down and split the huge fire fist into countless flames.
“As expected of a Nascent Soul cultivator from the Sword Sect, such remarkable swordsmanship!”
“His Divine Sense is also stronger than expected, to be able to detect Junior Brother Zhuang’s surprise attack in advance.”
The surrounding Fire God Palace’s Nascent Soul cultivators silently exclaimed, Lu Xuan’s strength was much more than they had imagined.
On the ground, the scorching lava surged upwards as if boiling water, and huge fire fists as fast as lightning attacked Lu Xuan from every direction.
Lu Xuan’s hands wielded seven pieces of Azure Profound Wither Bloom Sword Grass together, forming a wondrous formation, with strands of azure Sword Qi sweeping across the fire fists, precisely cutting them into countless minute flames.
Unwittingly, the entirety of the surrounding heaven and earth had turned blood-red, enveloped by endless Strange Fire.
This Strange Fire, of unknown origin like Clinging to the Bone, stubbornly pursued him, seeking to burn Lu Xuan to cinders.
“Stop hiding, show yourself.”
With a thought from Lu Xuan, the cyan Sword Qi doubled and quadrupled, instantly dividing into countless fine streams of Sword Qi.
He had cultivated the Infinite Sword Grass of Freedom for many years and had a profoundly deep understanding of the division of Sword Light.
Endless Sword Qi occupied a ten li radius, the howling Sword Qi producing a roar like thunder, captivating the soul.
“Sword Light diversifies! Sword Qi Thunder Sound!”
Onlookers from the Fire God Palace, all Nascent Soul Cultivators, gasped in unison.
To master these two Sword Dao Mystical Techniques was enough to prove that Lu Xuan was a rare Sword Tao genius in the world.
“Isn’t he a Spirit Plant Master?”
“How can he possess such perfectly proficient Sword Dao skills?”
Amidst their marveling, Zhuang Chunqiu’s figure could no longer hide under the endlessly fine Sword Qi sweeping down, revealing his presence.
“Friend Lu is quite skilled!”
The long Crimson Flying Sword in his hand surged with layers of rosy light, and as a dragon’s roar sounded, the Flying Sword instantly transformed into a thirty-foot-long Crimson Flood Dragon.
The Flood Dragon danced wildly in the air, causing the surrounding Fire Spirit energy to violently fluctuate, as streams of lava burst forth, as if doomsday had arrived.
Zhuang Chunqiu manipulated his hand seals, and the rising magma turned into fire dragons, attacking Lu Xuan in concert with the Crimson Flying Sword.
“Middle Rank Magical Treasure!”
Lu Xuan dared not be careless, throwing something into the sky with one hand.
Instantly, the sun, moon, and stars appeared in the sky, each moving in mysterious orbits, quickly covering the dozens of ferocious fire dragons.
The fire dragons, amidst the orbiting stars, silently fell straight from the sky, and the onlookers felt as if they could faintly hear their pitiable wails.
“Seventh Grade Sword Array!”
The Cultivators of the Fire God Palace watched with grave expressions.
The Sword Array Lu Xuan summoned, although its origin was unknown, was more than enough to handle an Early Nascent Soul Stage Cultivator.
“Just advanced to Nascent Soul not long ago, and yet he possesses a Seventh Grade Sword Array!”
Zhuang Chunqiu was both angry and fearful. Even in the special environment of the Fire God Palace, he had only one outcome against a Seventh Grade Sword Array.
Defeat!
“I refuse to accept this!”
He roared in his heart, then his entire True Essence Power surged out wildly, causing Spiritual Energy to rage and the earth’s crust to tremble, as if some terrifying existence was about to emerge from the ground.
He slapped the top of his head, which shone brightly.
“No good, Junior Brother Zhuang wants to trigger the Prohibitions and Restrictions within the Fire God Palace!”
The crowd felt like lost souls. They hadn’t anticipated that Zhuang Chunqiu would go so far as to attempt a Nascent Soul Emergence, activating the Fire God Palace’s Prohibitions and Restrictions.
If they inadvertently harmed the Cultivator from the Dongxuan Sword Sect present on the field, they wondered how they would explain it to the Sword Sect!
Lu Xuan remained as calm as an ancient well. As soon as Zhuang Chunqiu showed signs of abnormality, a bracelet encircled by Five-Colored Lightning appeared in his hand.
“Go!”
With a single point of his hand, the Five Thunders Immortal Locking Bracelet turned into Five-Colored Thunder Qi, wrapped in vast lightning, and in an instant arrived in front of Zhuang Chunqiu.
Before he could react, a ring of Thunder Qi mysteriously appeared around his neck and limbs, tightly restraining him, and the Nascent Soul within his Dantian hovered motionless like a stone sinking into the ocean, with not the slightest change.
Even the True Essence Power in his body lost control, seemingly completely bound by the five rings.
The violently trembling earth’s crust, once he was restrained, gradually calmed down. The mysterious energy from deep underground quietly withdrew, leaving only the flowing hot lava on the ground, remnants of the earlier abnormal reaction.
The Five Thunders Immortal Locking Bracelet’s restraint lasted only a brief moment, but it was enough for the other Cultivators within the Fire God Palace to react.
“Still making a spectacle of yourself here?”
A majestic voice sounded, and a giant Crimson palm descended from the sky, snatching away Zhuang Chunqiu, who had returned to normal.
