Chapter 284: Scoundrel!

Chu Liang could not assist however marvel, What number of immortal arts has Senior Sister Jiang mastered, precisely?

He recalled that point within the cave after they’d met for the primary time. Jiang Yuebai had struggled tremendously towards a fifth-realm demonic beast, so there was little doubt that she had but to grasp many highly effective immortal arts. In any case, she would not have held again in such a vital scenario the place their lives had been in peril.

Chu Liang considered it some extra and realized it made sense that Jiang Yuebai may now use quite a few immortal arts.

She possessed the Transcendent Spirit. That made her naturally attuned to religious qi and gave her an affinity with the Nice Dao, which meant all divine methods and abilities have been comparatively straightforward for her to study.

It was possible that her cultivation stage on the time had hindered her from mastering the whole lot she had realized.

Then when she broke by way of to the fifth realm, her foundational qi turned a lot stronger. That allowed her to rapidly grasp some immortal arts she hadn’t been ready to make use of beforehand.

After that breakthrough, she went into closed-door cultivation and certain spent her time doing the identical as me—increasing her repertoire of divine methods and abilities.

That is why she selected to conflict with me head-on!

The Heavenly Sword Seal was speculated to be probably the most highly effective sword approach, excluding immortal arts. Nevertheless, it was just like the poor man’s model of the Heaven-Elevating Sword. Jiang Yuebai’s Heavenly Sword Seal was evenly matched with Chu Liang’s, however her Heaven-Elevating Sword was 100 instances extra highly effective!

Like a roaring waterfall, Jiang Yuebai’s huge swordlight descended with a blast of sword qi. It collided with the Celestial Entice that Chu Liang had despatched forth!

It was lucky for Chu Liang that this formation diagram had been the prize for profitable the Mountain God Memorial Ceremony. In any other case, with Chu Liang’s present cultivation stage, he would not have had any divine talent that may very well be a match for the ability of a fifth-realm cultivator.

With out that formation diagram, Chu Liang would not have lasted until this stage of the competitors. Xu Ziyang would have simply defeated him with overwhelming power.

Regardless, Chu Liang nonetheless had a serious drawback. His strongest assault was nonetheless weaker than Jiang Yuebai’s Heaven-Elevating Sword.

That was no shock, because the Heaven-Elevating Sword was often called the highest immortal artwork for slaying! Daoist Yan had used the Heaven-Elevating Sword to slay enemies for a thousand li, so how may or not it’s a lie?

The Heaven-Elevating Sword step by step pierced by way of the chaotic vortex. Earlier than it even reached Chu Liang, its terrifying sword qi exuded such nice strain that Chu Liang felt like he was suffocating!

How am I supposed to face up to this?

“Heaven-Elevating Sword!” Scholar Solar exclaimed. “Jiang Yuebai has mastered even this! She is undoubtedly the strongest amongst Mount Shu’s present technology of disciples!”

“She mastered this sword approach even at a good youthful age than when her instructor did,” Elder Huang remarked. He smiled and sighed in aid. “Now, I can lastly say with confidence that Jiangjiang will win—”

Earlier than he completed talking, one thing sudden occurred within the match.

Chu Liang regarded so small within the face of such a large and overwhelming power that will have made anybody else despair, however he didn’t hand over.

The qi round his physique all of the sudden burst into flames.

Whoosh.

Intense red-gold flames of qi enveloped him, and his black pupils have been changed with dazzling vertical golden pupils!

Within the spectator stand, Ling Ao was wearing black and sitting in a nook as he watched the match.

“It is the Divine Dragons’ Nice Blood-Burning Approach!”

Ling Ao furrowed his eyes when he noticed Chu Liang use the identical divine approach he had used. But, the ability Chu Liang unleashed was far larger than what Ling Ao had produced throughout his match.

Ling Ao’s brilliant gaze turned dim. The sight of Chu Liang’s dragon aura hovering into the sky left Ling Ao gritting his tooth in anger.

Chu Liang trembled uncontrollably because the unimaginable energy he was gathering by exhausting his blood flooded into him.

He had certainly stolen this transfer from Ling Ao. Chu Liang had been impressed to purchase this divine approach from the Corridor of Conservation after seeing Ling Ao purchase explosive energy by burning his blood.

Chu Liang had recognized that utilizing the blood-burning approach would depart him in a weak state for a interval. He hadn’t had a lot time earlier than his match, so he by no means really tried utilizing it and had stored it as a final resort.

This was his first time utilizing it, and simply as he’d anticipated, it was a robust approach.

Chu Liang had cultivated utilizing the Secret Dragon Blood Approach and the Blood-Refinement Approach: Divine Gentle for therefore lengthy that the religious power in his blood was superior to Ling Ao’s in each high quality and depth, so the ability he unleashed was naturally far larger than Ling Ao’s.

Because the flames of qi shrouding him raged, Chu Liang turned the Celestial Entice. The 5 formation diagrams contracted in entrance of him to type a protect, staunchly blocking the Heaven-Elevating Sword’s advance!

Growth! Rumble!

Claps of thunder all of the sudden rang out.

Chu Liang managed to face up to the formidable slaying approach!

Elder Huang was fairly stunned. “What is going on on? Do all of Mount Shu’s disciples know how one can burn their blood?”

Even if you happen to can predict my strikes, you will not be capable of block them so long as I am quick and powerful sufficient!

Chu Liang was staking all of it on this, hoping to discover a method to flip the tables!

But, simply because the puppets surrounded Jiang Yuebai, her eyes lit up. She used her left hand to type a hand seal and her proper hand raised her longsword, pointing it on the sky!

Crackle!

A streak of lightning flashed previous. Then on the subsequent second, dazzling streaks of purple lightning unfold out over an space spanning 5 zhang with Jiang Yuebai on the heart.

It was like an enormous pool of lightning!

The pool of lightning swallowed Chu Liang and his puppets.

“Effectively finished, Jiangjiang!” Elder Huang clapped his arms. “I knew she would not act rashly. As I anticipated, she had all of it deliberate out. She drew near Chu Liang in order that she may use the 5-Lightning Coronary heart of the Sky!”

It was the immortal artwork 5-Lightning Coronary heart of the Sky!

This immortal artwork was nearly on par with the Samadhi True Fireplace. Who would have thought Jiang Yuebai had mastered even this!

In fact, Jiang Yuebai’s management over the lightning wasn’t that nice but, nevertheless it was sufficient to cope with Chu Liang. It was possible that Jiang Yuebai had moved nearer to Chu Liang simply so she may use this lightning immortal artwork!

Chu Liang immediately felt numb throughout as alarm bells rang in his thoughts. Fortuitously, he had a robust physique and managed to endure getting struck by lightning. If his physique have been weaker, he would have simply fainted instantly.

Proper when he acquired struck, his thoughts was nonetheless analyzing the scenario to resolve what he ought to do subsequent. He would not be capable of keep away from getting struck with lightning once more if he moved backward. The closest spot that was freed from lightning was in entrance of him!

The pool of lightning had unfold out with Jiang Yuebai at its heart, however she clearly would not embrace the spot the place she was standing within the goal vary for the lightning, so it needed to be protected.

Consequently, Chu Liang mustered the final little bit of energy he had left and leaped ahead!

Whoosh—

Underneath the illumination of the purple lightning, the 2 shadowy figures within the pool of lightning all of the sudden overlapped.

Because the sky crammed with lightning, Chu Liang had no time to launch any assaults. All he may do was rapidly embrace Jiang Yuebai to flee the pool of lightning!

Nevertheless, his embrace was extra like a deal with. He threw himself onto her, unable to do anything.

At this second, each of them had a way of panic of their eyes.

The venue fell silent because the spectators stared on the pair.

Chu Liang’s numbness rapidly pale, nevertheless it was too late for him to take any motion.

Jiang Yuebai, who regarded a little bit aggravated, was already within the midst of dealing a knifehand strike[2].

Thud.

The strike was finished at such a detailed distance that Chu Liang’s imaginative and prescient went black immediately. But, despite the fact that he’d fainted, he nonetheless had his arms wrapped tightly round Jiang Yuebai’s waist, and the pair fell to the ground collectively.

That was when the spectators lastly burst into an uproar.

That man really hugged Fairy Jiang!

“SCOUNDREL!!!”

After falling to the ground, Jiang Yuebai lastly managed to interrupt free from Chu Liang’s grip and rise up. She had gained the duel, however she did not have the composed look of a winner. As an alternative, she regarded fairly flushed.

All of the spectators have been crammed with righteous indignation, rolling up their sleeves with an incredible want to cost onto the stage! The venue was about to descend into chaos!

Seeing that, the supervising elder on responsibility hurriedly flew onto the stage.

Elevating his hand to calm the gang, he shouted, “The winner is Jiang Yuebai!

“Jiang Yuebai will turn into the pinnacle disciple of the Mount Shu Sect’s present technology of disciples! Attendants of the Corridor of Alchemy, come wake Chu Liang. Xu Ziyang and Ling Ao, come onto the stage as properly. The 4 of you, the highest 4 disciples, shall be taken to Sword Sheath Peak later, the place you’ll have the possibility to be chosen by the Violent and Azure Twin Swords.

“The remainder of you, do not be impulsive! Keep calm! Quiet! Who dares to come back up right here? Return down!

“Go! Go! Go!”
