Bang!
A sword blocked Yuanri's attack, and in an instant, the scorching sun disappeared.
However, the next moment, Luo Jianqing suddenly dodged to the side, and a sword had already pierced into the place where he had just been.
Zuo Yunmo smiled while holding his sword and said, "Brother, be careful and don't underestimate the enemy."
Luo Jianqing said calmly: "Junior brother, you have to be careful."
As the words fell, the clanging sound of metal clashing suddenly rang out. The two figures, now almost shadows, kept colliding on the fighting stage. Even Wei Qiongyin couldn't make out their movements. The other disciples sent to watch were also confused. Only the elders in front of Lingyun Hall exclaimed in amazement.
"Is this a fight between Jindan stage cultivators?"
"The Seven Masters of Taihua are worthy of their reputation! They are truly worthy of being Luo Jianqing, the one who makes the Luo River gradually clear!"
On the fighting stage, Luo Jianqing tiptoed, calmly and confidently handling each of Zuo Yunmo's attacks. He acted with unfailing grace, just as Venerable Xuan Lingzi had said the night before, without disgracing Yuxiao Peak. However, just as Luo Jianqing swung his sword upwards once more, Zuo Yunmo let out a soft laugh.
Luo Jianqing opened his eyes and felt something was wrong. However, before he could retreat, he heard Zuo Yunmo whisper, "Brother, you are still careless."
As soon as these words were spoken, a vast blue sky appeared above the fighting stage.
Hao Xingzi exclaimed in a low voice: "Yun Mo has actually cultivated to such a level?"
The sky grew ever wider, filling the entire arena with a majestic and decisive aura. A mighty and righteous aura descended from the heavens. Zuo Yunmo had already consumed a considerable amount of spiritual energy in the previous duel, but now it had been replenished. He stood beneath the azure sky, his robes fluttering, and his Qingyun Sword unleashed a vast spiritual energy.
"Qingyang Sword Technique Second Form, Qingyun Sword!"
As Zuo Yunmo finished his words, the sky suddenly crashed down towards Luo Jianqing. The force of the attack caused the barrier to tremble slightly, and even Luo Jianqing narrowed his eyes and began to rapidly make hand gestures. The Frost Floating Sword also excitedly floated in front of him.
The pressure from the sky stirred up a wave of air in the arena, and Luo Jianqing couldn't help but take two steps back before he could steady himself.
At the moment when the blue sky was about to fall, the Frost Floating Sword suddenly changed into nine swords, spinning and stabbing towards the sky.
"One sword turns into nine lotuses!"
Suddenly, a large mass of dark clouds floated across the sky, covering the azure sky. The clouds were heavy, and thick bolts of lightning fell, following the Frost Floating Sword and merging with the Qingyun Sword in mid-air.
For a moment, there were lightning and thunder, and the sky collided with thunder!
Hao Xingzi quickly waved his sleeves and reinforced the barrier.
Smoke rose from the arena, and everyone looked nervously toward it, only to see the handsome senior brother in a white robe, blood dripping from his fingertips and gasping for breath. In front of him, Zuo Yunmo, who had been so cheerful and cheerful just moments before, spat out a mouthful of blood and stumbled back a dozen steps, fortunately using the Qingyun Sword to support himself and stay in place.
Luo Jianqing clenched his fingers, blood flowing down, and said, "Junior brother, admit defeat."
Zuo Yunmo smiled, raised the corner of his lips, looked gently at the young man in white in front of him, and murmured: "How can you just admit defeat like this?"
Just as he finished speaking, he saw the sky rise again. Luo Jianqing looked at this scene in horror and said anxiously: "Junior brother, you will exhaust your spiritual power by doing this. Why do you have to do this..."
"Brother, when we spar, we will definitely leave no stone unturned. And... Jianqing, didn't you say you would give it your all?"
Looking at Zuo Yunmo's smile, Luo Jianqing was suddenly stunned.
Luo Jianqing looked up at the vast expanse of blue sky, his eyes narrowed. Suddenly, he pointed his five fingers downward, and a ethereal force condensed from his palms. With unstoppable force, that force pierced the barrier of the fighting arena. When faced with the venerable elders in front of Lingyun Hall, they cowered aside, but when faced with the disciples, it passed right through.
This force frantically snatched away all the plants and trees within a mile of the Cangshuang Peak.
Countless starlight, invisible to ordinary people, flew up from the sky and converged on Luo Jianqing. These powers arrogantly flew past the eyes of Venerable Hao Xingzi, carrying starlight with them. The latter was completely unaware and continued to watch the scene on the fighting stage with bated breath.
The next moment, Luo Jianqing's aura began to increase, 10%, 20%, 30%... When he recovered to his peak, this soaring aura did not stop, but continued to accumulate crazily!
The Soul-Breaking Sect's Tribulation-Transcending Elder asked in surprise, "What kind of technique is this?"
Hao Xingzi frowned and said, "Jianqing is practicing the supreme method of my Taihua Mountain, 'Nine Lotus Original Heart Record'."
Everyone immediately understood: "So it's the rumored 'Nine Lotus Heart Record', no wonder it's so strange!"
Luo Jianqing struck the ground with his palm, and a ten-meter-long handprint appeared on the fighting stage.
"Seize Spring and Autumn!"
"One sword turns into nine lotuses!"
Luo Jianqing's sword turned into a green lotus and flew into the sky at a rapid speed.
Bang! Bang! Bang!
The dazzling sword light pierced the sky, piercing the azure sky with its powerful force, shattering it into countless fragments. The momentum surged up, colliding with the barrier surrounding the arena. Everything changed completely in the blink of an eye. The barrier suddenly shattered, and the vast sword energy rushed directly towards the audience.
Hao Xingzi's eyes narrowed, and he stomped his foot on the ground. The barrier reappeared outside the arena, just in time to block the spreading sword energy.
After the loud rumbling sound, in the fighting arena, Luo Jianqing's face turned pale, and Zuo Yunmo flew backwards, fainted, and was covered in blood.
Luo Jianqing immediately went forward to check, and the junior sister also quickly took the pill and fed it into Zuo Yunmo's mouth. Not long after, the people from Qinglan Peak carried Zuo Yunmo out.
The whole audience was silent.
The external disciples and the Taihua Mountain disciples all stared at the elegant cultivator in white with horror.
After a long while, the referee elder finally woke up from his dream and shouted: "The winner of the Jindan stage is Luo Jianqing, who is in the middle stage of Jindan!"
…
The final result of the sect competition spread throughout the entire Taihua Mountain within a day. When the external elders led their people away, many external disciples looked at the elegant and handsome eldest brother of Taihua Mountain cautiously. They couldn't believe that such a good-looking person could have such terrible lethality.
Although Luo Jianqing had also suffered some injuries, they were minor compared to Zuo Yunmo's. After seeing off all the guests, he was summoned to Lingyun Hall by Venerable Hao Xingzi, who told him to recuperate well and leave for Liuyan Valley in seven days.
After Luo Jianqing agreed to all of them, he flew back to Yuxiao Peak.
This time, Xuan Lingzi did not continue to retreat. He wore a white robe that was very similar to Luo Jianqing's, with intricate golden patterns embroidered on the sleeves. He stood on the edge of the cliff with his hands behind his back, looking up at the sky.
Seeing this, Luo Jianqing was slightly stunned and said respectfully: "Master."
Xuan Lingzi was still standing on the edge of the cliff, and the strong wind blew his robe up, making a rustling sound.
Luo Jianqing had been standing behind Xuan Lingzi. He didn't know how long it had been before he heard a cold voice: "Jianqing, how did you manage to severely injure your Second Junior Brother in the sect competition today?"
