Xiao Chen looked at the stone that was throwing itself into danger, a hint of warmth flashed in his eyes, and he quickened his pace.
He avoided the surrounding chaos and quickly moved towards the stone platform, while warily watching Lin Jingxing and Luo Qingyang as they stepped onto the edge of the platform.
On the stone platform, Lin Jingxing's hand was almost touching the transparent ball of light, and his fingertips could even feel the warm spatial power emanating from the treasure.
"Don't even think about it!"
Luo Qingyang, quick-witted and agile, could no longer restrain himself when he saw Lin Jingxing about to succeed.
He was already half a step behind by Murong Feng. If Lin Jingxing gets the treasure, his trip will be completely wasted!
The spatial power around him suddenly surged, and he formed a sword shape with his right hand, the tip of his finger swirling with pale purple specks of law light.
He thrust hard into Lin Jingxing's back:
"The Secret Technique of the Flowing Cloud Dao Sect - Flowing Cloud Shattering Void Finger!"
This finger strike contained exquisite spatial laws. Wherever the fingertip passed, the air was torn apart with tiny cracks, carrying the power of "shattering the void and breaking the barrier". It not only wanted to stop Lin Jingxing, but also wanted to take the opportunity to severely injure him!
Lin Jingxing was prepared. Hearing the noise behind him, a cold smile curled at the corner of his lips. Without dodging or avoiding, he suddenly turned around and struck out with his left hand.
Golden spiritual energy condensed into a lifelike dragon claw, its tip burning with blazing golden flames:
"The Lin Family's Ultimate Technique - Golden Sky Dragon Flame Palm!"
The moment the dragon claw appeared, the surrounding temperature instantly rose, and the sea of clouds was baked into white mist. The dragon flame, carrying the domineering power of "burning the heavens and destroying the earth", collided with Luo Qingyang's Shattering Void Finger!
"boom--!!"
The golden dragon flames collided with the pale purple spatial rift, and the violent energy spread like a tsunami, causing the stone platform to tremble violently and the surrounding spatial vortex to become unstable.
Luo Qingyang felt a domineering flame power surge into his body through his fingertips, burning his meridians. He involuntarily took three steps back before he could barely steady himself, and a trace of blood spilled from the corner of his mouth.
Lin Jingxing was also not feeling well. The tearing sensation of the spatial power made his palms numb, and the golden dragon flames dimmed a bit. He also took three steps back, forming a standoff with Luo Qingyang through the transparent ball of light.
"Lin Jingxing, are you really going to make an enemy of my Liuyun Dao Sect for the sake of the secret treasure?" Luo Qingyang wiped the blood from the corner of his mouth, his eyes icy cold.
"Brother Luo, the treasure will be obtained by the destined one." Lin Jingxing's tone was calm, but it carried an undeniable force. "No one can take away what the Lin family wants."
The two were locked in a stalemate once again, their eyes fixed on each other, their spiritual energy surging as they prepared for their next attack. Whoever won this round would be the first to obtain the secret treasure!
Beneath the sea of clouds, the battle between Shi Tou, Li Yunfei, and Jiang Hai reached its climax.
Shi Tou seized an opening, frantically circulating his internal energy, gathering all his pale golden spiritual power into his right fist, and slamming a punch into Li Yunfei's side as Li Yunfei dodged to the side!
"Snap!"
A clear cracking sound rang out, followed by Li Yunfei's piercing scream:
"Ah—! My back!"
He clutched his side, his body curled up in a ball, cold sweat pouring down his forehead, his face ashen white.
Stone's punch not only broke his lumbar spine, but also injured his internal organs. The so-called "herniated disc" had long since evolved into more serious organ damage under the brute force of the cultivation world, making him unable to even stand up.
"Die!" Stone pressed his advantage, raising his fist to deliver the final blow and eliminate Li Yunfei, this troublesome man.
Watch out behind you!
Xiao Chen's warning suddenly came. He had just avoided the entanglement of the two cultivators when he saw Jiang Hai quietly circle around behind the stone, his eyes flashing with ruthlessness, obviously intending to launch a sneak attack!
Stone reacted extremely quickly. The moment he heard the warning, he rolled sharply to the left, narrowly avoiding the attack from behind.
"Azure Water Pavilion Secret Technique - Azure Water Cold Wave Palm!"
Jiang Hai's voice was ruthless. Blue spiritual energy condensed into a giant hand covered in frost. It was originally meant to strike Shi Tou's back, but because Shi Tou dodged, it was forced to deviate and slammed solidly into Li Yunfei's chest, who was still curled up on the ground!
"puff--!"
Li Yunfei was already severely injured, how could he withstand such a full-force attack? He coughed up a mouthful of blood, and his body flew backward like a kite with a broken string.
It crashed heavily onto the stone wall at the edge of the sea of clouds, slid to the ground, and remained motionless. Its chest had caved in, indicating that it had clearly died.
"..."
Jiang Hai looked at his own palm, then at Li Yunfei's corpse on the ground, paused for a moment, and a look of frustration appeared on his face.
He intended to kill Shi Tou, but unexpectedly killed Li Yunfei by mistake!
Although he and Li Yunfei had always been at odds, they were still geniuses of the same rank. It would not sound good if word got out that he had mistakenly killed Li Yunfei.
Despite his frustration, Jiang Hai quickly suppressed his emotions, and his eyes turned cold again.
He looked at the stone that had just gotten up: "He's unlucky to have blocked my attack. Now, it's your turn!"
In his view, Li Yunfei deserved to die. He was so badly injured, yet he still didn't know how to dodge. What else could he be but a stupid person who died?
"You dare kill him?!" Stone looked at Li Yunfei's corpse, his anger rising.
Although he was Li Yunfei's enemy, he disdained to use sneak attacks, let alone such a cowardly act as accidentally killing a teammate!
"So what if I kill you?" Jiang Hai sneered, his blue spiritual energy condensing once more. "Today, both of you will die here!"
He held nothing back, unleashing a series of Azure Water Cold Wave Palm strikes. The giant blue palm surged toward the stone like a tidal wave, determined to completely eliminate this troublesome body cultivator!
Stone was also completely enraged, unleashing its spiritual power without reservation. A pale golden light enveloped its entire body as it charged towards the giant blue hand.
With both fists swung, each punch carrying a devastating force, he once again engaged Jiang Hai in battle.
Xiao Chen stood not far away, looking at Lin Jingxing and Luo Qingyang facing off on the stone platform, and then at the chaotic battle between the rocks and the river below, his eyes flashing.
Now is the most crucial moment. Lin Jingxing and Luo Qingyang are locked in a stalemate, and Shi Tou is entangled with Jiang Hai. No one can be distracted to stop him!
Xiao Chen took a deep breath, gripped the rusty iron spear tightly, and completely merged the spiritual power of the Dao Inquiry Realm within his body with the spear intent. His figure shot towards the stone platform like an arrow released from a bow!
