Chapter 246: Just at this moment
The power of the Three Flowers gathers the cultivator's "essence, energy, and spirit," and also condenses the "power of the earth's veins" and the "power of heaven and earth."
It contains the essence of Taoism.
Therefore, the condensation of the three flowers is to build the foundation for immortality.
When the three flowers burn, the power unleashed will far surpass that of cultivators of the same level.
"Burn the power of the Three Flowers!" On the other side, Yan Zekun's gaze sharpened, a hint of solemnity appearing in his eyes.
"But how long can you hold out?"
He remained calm and composed.
Murong Qingshuang's forced burning of the power of the "Three Flowers" will not only damage her immortal foundation but also accelerate the erosion of her spiritual root by the deadly poison.
Once the power of the Three Flowers has burned out.
She will die and disappear on her own.
As he whispered, Yan Zekun flipped his hand, revealing an array plate in his palm.
He made a hand seal, and four array flags flew out and hovered around his body.
A powerful surge of "Earth Qi" swept out from the array flag, transforming into a small array that protected it.
The rolling "Earth Qi" spun around, as if transforming into a tornado.
It emitted a series of howling hurricane-like sounds.
Just as the "Earth Formation" was activated, Murong Qingshuang took graceful steps, riding the waves as she arrived.
Her robes fluttered, and a chilling mist rose around her. The cold currents from the Three Flowers cascaded down like a waterfall, creating waves. Her gaze was cold and clear. With a flick of her 'Frosty White Sword,' the chilling mist around her moved in unison, whistling like sword energy.
"Cold Current Sword Technique: Seventh Form: Cold Current Creates Sword Rain, One Sword Breaks Ten Thousand Laws..." As she wielded her long sword, her cold and eerie voice resounded. Her entire being seemed to merge with the sword, and the three flowers of 'Heaven', 'Earth', and 'Man' resonated together.
The long river beneath them moved in sync.
In that instant, the cold air surged, like a dragon dancing.
The billowing mist roared and transformed into mist swords, moving with the swords.
The long river churned and transformed into a giant water sword, carrying the power of its ceaseless flow, and attacked Yan Zekun ahead.
In an instant, cold mist billowed and sword energy whistled.
Frost and snow were falling from the sky.
Frost has formed on the ground.
Upon seeing this, even with the protection of a near-third-order formation, Yan Zekun dared not underestimate it. He quickly made a hand seal and cast the second-order spell "Wall of Earth". Seven feet in front of him, the "Earth Qi" rolled and rose from the ground.
In an instant, it coalesced into a giant wall three feet thick and six feet high.
While one giant wall was taking shape, two others were slowly forming.
The first giant wall had barely taken shape when it was pierced from above by a water sword formed from the condensed river, causing the wall to collapse instantly.
Then, the giant sword took advantage of the situation and went away.
At this moment, the second and third "Walls of Earth" in front of Yan Zekun had already taken shape.
But in an instant, the sword pierced through the second giant wall and attacked the third.
The second-tier high-grade spell unleashed by this late-stage Foundation Establishment cultivator was utterly ineffective against Murong Qingshuang's sword strike. This scene made Yan Yicheng, who was attacking Yang Jiuli with the "Giant Sword Technique," feel a chill in his heart.
"This sword aura... is already comparable to a False Core Immortal!" Yan Yicheng murmured.
"No wonder the name of the Strange Sword Immortal has never fallen since ancient times." Yan Zhenshu, standing beside him, took a deep breath.
"Uncle Jiu should be able to block it!" Then he looked at Yan Zekun, "As long as he blocks this sword, once Murong Qingshuang is exhausted, the outcome will be decided!" He thought to himself, but he was also a little nervous. Murong Qingshuang's strength exceeded his expectations.
Just as he was pondering this, Yan Zekun's third "Wall of Earth" was also shattered by the sword river.
A whistling sword aura swept in, reaching within three zhang of Yan Zekun. The chilling aura crashed against the swirling vortex of energy emanating from the rotating 'Earth Array' in front of him, the Earth Qi swirling like a gale.
When stirred, it also has the power to annihilate all laws.
However, as the cold river swept in, a force of ice swept over, causing the 'Earth Qi' to slow down.
As if covered with frost.
The next moment, the river of sword energy pierced a hole and stabbed directly towards Yan Zekun himself.
Light patterns flickered in front of Yan Zekun as he summoned a shield.
The shield was made of gold and iron. As soon as it was unleashed, a blazing light of runes shone forth, transforming into a shield of light to block the way.
The vast river of sword energy struck the light shield, only causing it to dent slightly.
This was clearly a near-Tier 3 shield.
When the light shield manifested, the shield also rose from the ground and transformed into a giant shield six zhang tall.
A rain of swords poured down from behind, piercing the light shield.
The light shield trembled, and finally shattered after holding out for only one breath.
Immediately, the rain of swords pierced the massive shield, which was almost at the third tier, causing it to tremble.
However, the shield ultimately blocked Murong Qingshuang's unstoppable sword strike.
The vast sword of the river shattered, turning into waves that surged down and spilled across the ground.
Murong Qingshuang frowned, her sword energy whistling as she stepped forward once more.
As she took a step, she coughed up a mouthful of black blood, clearly on the verge of exhaustion.
But she still did not give up. Her gaze sharpened, and she slowly raised the sword "Frost White" in her hand.
His entire being, including his spirit and energy, was focused on the sword.
With a flick of her longsword, she unleashed another strike, instantly causing a surge of cold mist, a whooshing sound of sword energy, and a furious, raging river.
As the waves rose, the vast river of swords crashed once again against the six-zhang-tall giant shield standing in front of Yan Zekun.
boom!
The impact of the sword river merely caused the giant shield to tremble.
Beneath this shield, a powerful surge of "Earth Qi" poured in from the ground.
This shield is as if it were connected to the earth's veins, and it is unshakeable.
"A stubborn resistance!" Upon seeing this, Yan Yicheng snorted coldly.
Just now, Murong Qing Shuang's full-force sword strike failed to shake this near-third-tier shield.
At this point, the poison was difficult to suppress, and his strength was clearly reduced. How could he possibly break through it?
Therefore, he turned his gaze to Yang Jiuli.
With a hand gesture, the golden spiritual energy from the 'human flower' and 'earth flower' behind him surged into the 'giant sword,' causing its aura to rise slightly.
"It's time to end this!" Yan Yicheng's eyes flashed.
High in the sky, the giant sword shone brightly and once again pierced down with immense force.
At this moment, Yang Jiuli was inside the protective light shield.
Yet, with his powerful divine sense, he could see through everything.
When Murong Qingshuang unleashed her second sword strike, his eyes gleamed.
"It's time to end this!" Yang Jiuli's gaze sharpened. The chilling aura beneath his feet churned, transforming into a cold current that carried him into the air. The dark, spiderweb-like threads on his neck and cheeks suddenly vanished.
Those cloudy eyes became clear and bright.
With a flick of his hand, golden light flashed in his palm, and a second-tier high-grade 'Golden Spear' talisman appeared.
This was something he had obtained from Zhang Maoheng in the past, and he had never used it.
With the talisman in hand, he chanted incantations to activate it.
In an instant, golden light burst forth, soaring into the sky and transforming into a two-foot-thick golden spear that pierced through Yang Jiuli's protective aura and charged towards the 'giant sword' stabbing down from the sky.
The golden light was dazzling, and every ray carried the power to tear apart metal and stone.
The power of a second-tier high-grade talisman is already comparable to a strike from a late-stage Foundation Establishment cultivator.
"This is..." Upon seeing the sudden burst of golden light, Yan Yicheng's heart skipped a beat, sensing something was amiss.
He could vaguely see that the black line on Yang Jiuli's neck had disappeared.
This scene stirred up a great deal of emotions within him.
Even Murong Qingshuang, who was in the late Foundation Establishment stage, was unable to suppress the poison and could only resist by burning the power of the Three Flowers.
Right now, Li Sanshui is just a 'body cultivator,' so how could he possibly suppress this poison?
Just now, he was clearly also suffering from the poison, wasn't he?
"Unless... he has the antidote!" Yan Yicheng whispered.
But only Yan Zekun knew how to prepare this antidote, and even he didn't know it.
How could Li Sanshui possess it?
Therefore, he ruled it out.
All that remained in his eyes was confusion and bewilderment.
Before Yan Yicheng could think further, a long spear soared upwards from the golden light, piercing through the two light shields and striking the giant sword.
As the intense golden light passed by, the sword energy emanating from the giant sword was annihilated and dissipated in the air.
Even the giant sword shattered into dust.
"A second-tier high-grade talisman..." Yan Yicheng frowned.
However, before he could think further...
Beside them, a deafening roar shook the heavens, accompanied by a vast wave of shockwaves.
The fluctuations transformed into towering waves, sweeping across all directions and instantly engulfing Yan Yicheng.
Yan Yicheng felt a chill run down his spine and released his divine sense to sense the situation and go there.
At the same time, he made a hand gesture, and golden light shone out, transforming into a protective shield around himself.
At the same time, what he saw revealed a face full of shock.
However, when Murong Qingshuang's sword river struck Yan Zekun's near-third-tier shield, it suddenly exploded.
The immense magical power sent the giant shield flying.
This left Yan Zekun behind without any protective barrier, so he immediately used both hands to create an earthen wall to protect himself.
In addition, Yan Zekun quickly retreated to one side.
Unfortunately, the force of the explosion was too great.
The 'Wu Earth Qi Wall' that Yan Zekun hastily condensed with second-order magic collapsed instantly, and he himself was affected by a cold current.
Yan Zekun was blasted away.
At the same time, Yan Yicheng was also blasted away, and his protective light shield shattered instantly.
On the other side, Yan Zhenshu, who had just killed a Murong woman at the ninth level of Qi Refining with a single blow, was also affected and sent flying.
A vast wave surged forth.
Yang Jiuli controlled the protective light shield and retreated at lightning speed.
Because of the triple protective shield, the wave that swept over only shattered the 'Frosty Ice Shield' and the 'Mysterious Light Shield'.
When he landed, the "Golden Bell Shield" still protected his body, but the light patterns were dim and about to dissipate.
"This is a near-Tier 3 forbidden artifact self-destructing!"
After regaining his footing, Yang Jiuli's gaze shifted, looking ahead.
At this moment, Yan Zekun was blasted away, his mouth filled with blood.
Even Murong Qingshuang herself was swept away by that vast wave of energy.
She coughed up blood, and black lines began to appear on her face.
As she was thrown backward, she blinked her beautiful eyes and glanced at Yang Jiuli, who had regained his footing.
Seeing that the latter was unharmed, a bitter smile appeared on her lips. "As expected..."
Clearly, she also believed that Yang Jiuli was not simple.
However, seeing that the latter was completely unharmed and did not appear to be poisoned, he was still somewhat surprised.
"Just then..." At this moment, Yang Jiuli's eyes flashed, and his consciousness stirred within his sea of consciousness.
hum!
In an instant.
Within this training ground, several blazing lights appeared one after another in different areas of the sky.
