Chapter 699 Who Else
Xuanyuan Zhao's sword was as powerful as a rainbow, and the spiritual sword Qingshuang drew a blinding cold light in the air. Dozens of icy sword qi condensed around the sword body, illuminating the entire arena with a chilling air.
"It's the Qingshuang Sword Technique!" A disciple in the audience exclaimed, "Senior Brother Zhao has actually reached the level of sword energy turning into crystal!"
"I'm afraid even the elders will have to concentrate their energy to deal with this sword. You are worthy of being Brother Zhao!"
"Shh... keep your voice down. What just happened in the Elders' Council is not the time to bring this up..."
"No matter what, Senior Brother Zhao is the chief of the Elite Hall! Junior Sister Yu has no chance of winning no matter what..."
"Is Xuanyuan Yu crazy? Using basic boxing to counter the Qingshuang Sword Technique?"
At the edge of the ring, several disciples kept shaking their heads.
One of them sighed:
"Three years ago, during the clan competition, Senior Brother Zhao defeated seven challengers with this sword move. Although Xuanyuan Yu has some talent, in the end..."
"She is a woman after all." The person next to him interjected, but immediately fell silent after receiving a look from the other person.
The few of them didn't say anything else, but they understood each other through eye contact.
It has been like this for hundreds of years. Women should be obedient, be good wives and help the family to have children. As long as they do their duty, they can live comfortably. Why do they have to strive to stand out?
The Elders' Council was disbanded today because of the things they did in secret. Lord Taizu is impartial and just, and she, Xuanyuan Yu, is just an initiator.
But if she really had to fight against the chief disciple of the Elite Hall, how could she have a chance of winning?
On the ring, before the sword energy arrived, the biting cold had already turned Xuanyuan Yu's long hair into white frost, but she did not dodge, but just slowly pushed out the most basic "Mountain Opening Style".
"She wouldn't really think..."
Before he finished speaking, a jaw-dropping scene took place.
Xuanyuan Yu's seemingly ordinary punch suddenly burst out with dazzling golden light the moment it came into contact with the sword energy. Faint array patterns flashed in the light, and the ice crystal sword energy seemed to hit an invisible wall, shattering and dissipating!
"This...this is impossible!" someone in the audience screamed.
Xuanyuan Zhao's face suddenly changed, and he quickly changed his moves. The Qingshuang Sword drew a mysterious trajectory in the air: "Qingshuang Nine Turns!"
Nine sword energies attacked Xuanyuan Yu from different angles like swimming dragons, and each one was powerful enough to pierce through metal and stone.
This is the most exquisite killing move in the Qingshuang Sword Technique, which once helped him kill a giant monster in the secret realm trial!
"It's over." The disciple watching the fight said, "It seems that Senior Brother Zhao doesn't want to deal with her anymore. No one among his peers can handle this..."
His voice stopped abruptly.
Xuanyuan Yu was seen moving back and forth among the sword energy like a ghost. The most basic boxing technique seemed to have come to life in her hands, and each move hit the weakest point of the sword energy just right.
Nine sword energies that were powerful enough to split mountains and rocks were dissolved by her one by one!
"This is not an ordinary mountain-opening move!" a sharp-eyed disciple suddenly shouted, "Look at her steps!"
"What kind of footwork is this? I have never seen it before, but...it seems to contain some mysterious mechanism..."
It was only then that everyone noticed the faint movement of starlight under Xuanyuan Yu's feet. Every time she took a step, a barely perceptible rune would light up on the ground.
"Hmm?" Qi Mo, who was watching the battle leisurely on the side, suddenly folded his folding fan with a "snap", narrowed his eyes slightly, and turned to look at Yun Qingqing.
Yun Qingqing was also looking at Xuanyuan Yu thoughtfully.
"Star Shift!" Xuanyuan Zhao's face changed drastically, "How can you do this!"
Xuanyuan Yu said nothing, his feet moved quickly and his fists became more powerful. Xuanyuan Zhao's face looked extremely ugly, and he could only cheer up and deal with it.
"Her footwork... is very similar to the Battle of the Stars." Qi Mo poked Ji Xuanyuan's arm with his folding fan and whispered, "Did you teach her?"
"I only left the simplified Qimen Dunjia secret method to the Xuanyuan lineage." Ji Xuanyuan stared at the arena, with a hint of approval in his eyes, "It was improved by the descendants themselves."
Yun Qingqing curled her lips slightly: "It cleverly combines footwork with the Dou Zhuan Xing Yi Bureau. Fortunately, even when the realm and spiritual power are insufficient, the Qi Men Dun Jia formation can still play its role. Although the power is not as strong as the real Qi Men Dun Jia, it is very rare to achieve this level."
Qi Mo nodded:
"In that case, this little girl's talent is truly amazing."
"It's not all her fault..."
Ji Xuanyuan was speaking when suddenly a loud noise came from the stage. His expression changed slightly and he stopped talking.
Xuanyuan Yu moved quickly and punched at Xuanyuan Zhao at a tricky angle. He was knocked away before he could react and fell heavily outside the court.
"Too slow." Xuanyuan Yu looked at him expressionlessly.
“You…” Xuanyuan Zhao covered his chest and struggled to get up. He suddenly spat out a mouthful of blood and gritted his teeth and said, “Star Shift is a unique skill created by my master. He only passed it on to me. You…where did you learn it from?”
"Xuanyuan Song invented it himself? Ha!" Xuanyuan Yu's voice was extremely sarcastic, "That bastard also has this ability! Why do you think he conspired with Xuanyuan Kang and others to murder my master?"
“What did you say…” Xuanyuan Zhao’s face turned pale, and he had a bad feeling in his heart.
Xuanyuan Yu looked down at him and said coldly:
"Star Shift is a secret technique that my master and I developed together. My master compiled it into a secret manual, but before he could publish it, he was killed by those bastards!"
"Your good master took the stolen secret book as his own and taught it to you as if it were his own creation. Unfortunately, his own aptitude was not very good and he did not understand the essence of this secret technique at all. Otherwise, how could you be so powerless to fight back!"
"You...Puff!" Xuanyuan Zhao was so angry that he spat out another mouthful of blood, and then his eyes went dark and he passed out.
Xuanyuan Yu didn't even look at him anymore, turned to look at the other disciples below the stage, and said loudly:
"Who else!"
The rules of the life and death competition are that the convicted person must accept challenges from all the disciples of the clan until he dies of exhaustion, or no one dares to fight.
There was silence in the audience, and no one came forward.
…
…
Nightfall.
Under the dome where star tracks flowed, Ji Xuanyuan led Yun Qingqing through numerous restrictions, and the secret room on the top floor of the Langhuan Palace slowly opened in the dim light of the spirit core.
Inside the door, a thousand-foot-high jade wall forms a dome, on which float billions of star-like light points, and each point of light is an ancient book condensed by spiritual power.
The vast sea of books is suspended in the void, with the galaxy as a ladder and the clouds as a desk. The torrent of information that has been silent for two thousand years is rushing towards you with the ripples of the secret array.
"Master, please look," Ji Xuanyuan flicked his sleeves and lit up the star map in the center of the dome. Silver light poured down like a waterfall, illuminating the obsession hidden in his eyes, "This is the ancient library. They have been waiting for you to appear for two thousand years."
Yun Qingqing stopped in front of a jade slip with golden patterns on it. As soon as her spiritual sense touched it, she could feel the breath of ancient times.
She was silent for a moment, then suddenly asked softly, "You exhausted your essence to become the spirit core of this world. Is there any book you must show me?"
Ji Xuanyuan opened his mouth, the word "yes" got stuck in his throat, and a trace of confusion flashed in his eyes.
Qi Mo whispered:
"...Do you also feel that some things are very important, but you have no clue at all?"
"Is it the same for Senior Brother?" Ji Xuanyuan frowned tightly.
Qi Mo pursed his lips and whispered:
"It's just as Master predicted. It's a Heavenly Shield... Who on earth has such a skill that we were caught without even realizing it?"
Ji Xuanyuan's expression turned solemn.
"If you can't think of it, don't force yourself to think about it." Yun Qingqing broke the heavy atmosphere, "It just so happens that I have something I have been wanting to check, so I'll take a look first."
After saying that, she walked towards the index mirror in the center of the secret treasure.
