Chapter 66 - Third-grade Mystic Weapon
Chapter 66: Third-grade Mystic Weapon
Guang Yuanjia simply detonated the energy on the spear. Although this could produce a great power, the energy consumed was extremely terrifying, and could also cause great damage to the mystic weapon. He would not have done so unless he had to. After avoiding the crisis, he immediately felt that his aura was greatly weakened, and the energy in his body was at its lowest level.
Shocked and angry, he was about to go mad when he suddenly noticed that the temperature around him was rising. When he looked up, he saw the sky being filled with tens of thousands of peach blossoms, all falling toward him. In just a moment, he would be drowned by them.
The instinct of a Martial Lord filled his heart with fright. These peach blossoms conjured from sword light were the condensation of a martial intent, each flower containing a very advanced martial intent. His body turned cold in an instant. No longer caring for his honor, he shouted loudly, “Junior brother Yuanwen, come and help me quickly! Let’s work together to kill this freak!”
He could not think of any words other than ‘freak’ to describe Ji Meng, who was merely a nine-stars Great Martial Master a few moments ago.
Yu Yuanwen was running back and forth in the chaotic battle and had killed many Martial Masters. He was immersed in the killing spree when he suddenly saw Guang Yuanjia falling in a dangerous situation. He was shocked, and he quickly ran over to help his senior brother. Without hesitation, he conjured up a long weapon which turned out to be a halberd, and then thrust it at the sky. In the blink of an eye, huge ice cubes condensed from icy air rose from the ground, shooting toward the peach blossoms in the air.
Bam!
Two forces smashed into each other and burst into countless blast waves. Yu Yuanwen’s face turned somber as he stood shoulder to shoulder with Guang Yuanjia, his halberd in hand. Their eyes were filled with shock.
In the exchange just now, Yu Yuanwen actually lost slightly. Such a result was unacceptable to them. Huge waves surged in their hearts as they thought to themselves, ‘What kind of medicinal pill did this guy just take? Why does it have such a heaven-defying effect!’
Jia Rong, who was watching the battle from not far away, kept shaking all over. The power of this enhanced origin blasting pill was not only beyond his expectation, but completely beyond his knowledge! To his further excitement, Yunxiao had given him the recipe for this pill as well.
After making the first move, Ji Meng’s fighting spirit became even more monstrous. Endless power poured out of his dantian and seemed to never dry up. After emitting a loud roar, he charged again with his sword. Guang Yuanjia and Yu Yuanwen’s faces flickered as if they had been humiliated, and they also charged out sullenly. The three were soon tangled in a fierce battle.
Li Yi, who was fighting Yunxiao in the distance, also noticed the scene. He vaguely had a bad feeling about this, and he was rather baffled. What kind of medicinal pill did Yunxiao take out just now? Why could it allow a Great Martial Master to fight two Martial Lords at the same time? Wasn’t that too illogical?
But at the same time, his heart became fervent. ‘If only I can get the recipe of this pill and produce it in large quantities…’
With the thought, his eyes immediately turned scarlet as he said ferociously, “Stop running and hiding here and there, Li Yunxiao! Come and die now!”
After fighting for so long, Li Yi’s mood also became a little irritable. He had no intention of killing Yunxiao now, but wanted to capture him and then force out the pill recipe. However, no matter how hard he tried, none of his attacks could hit Yunxiao. It was as if the latter was moving with a set of very genius footwork.
Yunxiao was relieved when he saw Ji Meng’s condition. The smile on his face gradually disappeared and was replaced by a cold look. “The reason I ran and hid was to give you time to see the performance over there. Since you don’t want to watch it anymore, it’s time for you to pay off your debts.”
“Pay off my debts?” Li Yi asked, puzzled.
Yunxiao sneered, “You have been a servant in my family for so many years, and what you’ve eaten, used, and worn all belong to the Li Family. But in the end, you chose to betray us. If these are not debts, what are they? Now you will pay off the debts with your life!”
“How arrogant! Taiyin, unseal!”
“Tempestuous Storm!”
Li Yi’s mystic sword, which had the ice attribute, was instantly unsealed. The chill on the sword soared at least ten times in an instant while the air was filled with flickering cold light, dazzling to look at. He slashed out the sword casually, causing the cold energy on the blade to immediately rush out like surging water!
He, Guang Yuanjia and Yu Yuanwen were training under the same master, and they all followed the path of ice energy.
Jia Rong’s heart was in his throat as he shouted in horror, “Young Master Yun, you must not resist this strike! Run!” In his view, Li Yi could easily kill Yunxiao with his strength as a Great Martial Master, not to mention he was now using a third-grade mystic weapon. Under these circumstances, no one present could be his match.
“Hmph! Although a third-grade mystic weapon is powerful, it depends on who holds it!” Instead of retreating, Yunxiao advanced straight up and gently threw out a palm. His sword, Black Girl, had turned into a mini-form and was hiding in the palm. “You want to kill me? Keep dreaming! A hundred times the force of gravity!”
His Black Girl originally contained only a small piece of Purple Sun Stone. However, he found another large piece in the Divine Realm Tablet later on, and after refining the sword again, the gravity arrays in it could produce a hundred times the force of gravity! Whenever he was alone, he would transform the sword into a mini-form and place it in his palm, so that he could be in the field of gravity anytime and anywhere, and cultivate every second.
After unleashing the Tempestuous Storm, Li Yi was full of confidence, but he suddenly felt his body sink to the ground. A tremendous force was constantly pulling the flesh and blood of his whole body, making him feel as if he was about to collapse, while his Taiyin sword was also being pulled to the ground.
Anyone who suddenly felll under a hundred times the force of gravity would feel extremely uncomfortable. Li Yi had tasted the sudden increase of gravity last time. Although he was mentally prepared, he thought the array in Yunxiao’s sword could only produce ten times the force of gravity. With his cultivation base of a Great Martial Master, he could still walk effortlessly under ten times the force of gravity. In fact, he could continue to fight even if it was a hundred times, but this increase came too suddenly!
Although Yunxiao only had the cultivation base of a warrior, with his incredibly tough physique, he forcibly wielded his sword under a hundred times force of gravity. Black Girl suddenly returned to its original form and smashed Li Yi’s Taiyin hard!
Clang!
Taiyin had been weighed down by a hundred times the force of gravity, and now it was struck by Black Girl. The strike was unleashed by Yunxiao with all his physical strength. Li Yi staggered, and the powerful impact numbed his palms, causing the sword to fly out of his grip.
“My sword!” cried Li Yi as he struggled to get the sword back.
Yunxiao gave a cold snort as he lifted his foot and performed the footwork. At the moment his body moved, the gravity suddenly returned to normal. He rushed out like a bolt of lightning and grabbed the sword, then turned to look at Li Yi, whose face was completely blank. “Although this is not a very good sword, I’ll take it all the same as the interest of your years of living in the Li Family,” he said with a faint smile.
“Bast*rd! Give me back my sword!”
Li Yi was completely mad. The third-grade mystic weapon was given to him by his master, Martial King Yi Xiaoshan. Of all his fellow disciples, only he had the special honor to be given a third-grade mystic weapon, and he had not had much chance to use it. At last, he was able to use it to his heart’s content now, but it did not take long for it to be snatched away by Yunxiao. How could he not go mad?
“Ice Punch!”
Although he had lost his sword, he did not lose his cultivation base as a Great Martial Master of the Three Powers realm. As he threw out the punch, the surrounding temperature plummeted and a gust of biting cold air swept forward to freeze Yunxiao. Soon, tiny ice crystals began to condense over the latter’s skin and started growing thicker. Many Martial Masters around him also felt the cold, and their breathing became a little hurried.
Yunxiao snorted disdainfully and said, “You want this sword? Then I’ll give it back to you!” He raised Taiyin high and then slashed it down!
The ice crystals in the air all cracked under the sword, turning into water vapor and vanishing. Without losing its momentum, the sword rushed forward and suddenly condensed into an ice sword beam when it was three feet away from Li Yi, glinting brilliantly under the sunlight.
Clang!
The air was filled with the sound of ice crystal breaking apart as Li Yi threw out another punch and shattered the ice sword beam. His eyes were full of shock as he roared, “Ice sword beam! How can you possibly use the ice sword beam!”
Yunxiao scoffed, “This martial technique is so low-level that I can simulate it with just a look. Why are you not bashful of using it?”
Fuming, Li Yi said, “If you’re so good, give me back my sword!”
All the Martial Masters who were fighting around them almost fell down when they heard that. Li Yi was robbed of his weapon in a life-and-death battle, but he still had the face to ask his opponent to return it to him! It was indeed an eye-opener for them.
Yunxiao was also struck dumb for a moment, and then burst out laughing. “Do you think I want this piece of trash? It’s just a third-grade mystic weapon. I have one too!” He immediately took out the Spring Water Zhang Qingfan had given him.
“It’s really a third-grade mystic weapon!” Li Yi was dumbfounded as he cried out in disbelief and anger. “You…Why do you have a third-grade mystic weapon!”
Yunxiao’s face grew dark as he sneered, “You have asked too many questions today. Don’t tell me that you want to delay so that you can live a little longer? You are dreaming!”
He wielded the sword in his left hand and said, “How much sorrow, pray, can a person carry? Like the spring torrent flowing eastward, without tarry!”
Then, he wielded the sword in his right hand and said, “The fragrance of flowers intoxicated countless guests…a man with a sharp sword swept across fourteen states!”
Two completely different sword qi slashed out at the same time, one left and one right, complementing each other without affecting them. It was as if two warriors were attacking at the same time!
Li Yi was utterly stunned. The shock in his heart was greater than the pressure brought to him by the sword. For a Martial Lord, unsealing two third-grade mystic weapons at the same time was a very difficult task, and he could never use them so well, let alone a mere warrior!
‘What’s the matter with this Li Yunxiao? Not only can he unseal two third-grade mystic weapons, but he can also unleash sword qi of two different attributes at the same time! This is terrible! This man must be killed!’
Fear began to grow inside him, and he had forgotten about his plan of forcing Yunxiao to give the pill recipe. He only wanted to kill the latter now!
