In a battle between experts, everything was decided by the slightest hair. Ouyang Weijian had accurately pointed out the biggest flaw in Ji Xuanxuan's cultivation, causing him to feel as if he had been struck by lightning. Ouyang Weijian took the opportunity to turn the Flowing Wind Sword into a flowing wind, and when it appeared again, it was already in front of Ji Xuanxuan's chest.
Ji Xuanxuan turned pale with fright, and a huge shield immediately appeared in front of him, shielding his entire body behind it.
"Ding!" A crisp sound rang out. Although the Flowing Wind Sword was only a slender flying sword, the force on the sword caused Ji Xuanxuan's body to sway uncontrollably. The two puppets on his left and right were also affected by this, causing them to stumble.
Ji Xuanxuan's strength was originally inferior to Ouyang Weijian's, and now that he had lost the initiative, he was immediately suppressed by Ouyang Weijian. Fortunately, Ji Xuanxuan's strength had increased over the years, and with his cultivation at the fifth level of Core Forging, Ouyang Weijian wouldn't be able to completely defeat him in a short period of time.
Even so, the cultivators in both camps could see that Ji Xuanxuan's defeat was only a matter of time.
Lu Ping frowned as he watched the battle between Ouyang Weijian and Ji Xuanxuan below. At this moment, although Ji Xuanxuan's cultivation had already advanced to the fifth level of Core Forging, from the aura around him, it was obvious that he hadn't advanced for long.
Ji Xuanxuan and Yin Xuanchu's cultivation had always been similar, but in the past few years, Yin Xuanchu's growth in strength in the Eastern Sea had far surpassed Ji Xuanxuan's. Ji Xuanxuan, on the other hand, was clearly somewhat infatuated with the creation of puppets, and didn't attach much importance to the growth of his own strength.
However, this was more or less the tradition of the Puppet Pavilion. During the early stages of cultivation, the strength of the cultivators of the Puppet Pavilion increased extremely quickly due to the use of puppets. Often, they could rely on the strength of puppets to jump ranks and challenge opponents.
It was precisely because of this that the cultivators of the Puppet Pavilion were infatuated with refining even more powerful puppets, neglecting that the growth of one's own cultivation was the foundation for a cultivator to gain a foothold in the cultivation world.
With the growth of a cultivator's cultivation base, a cultivator's strength would become more reliant on their mastery of magic techniques and lifebound magic treasures. Puppets, which could only be used for fierce attacks, would become increasingly less useful to cultivators. As for the cultivators from the Puppet Pavilion, they gradually lost their advantage when compared to cultivators of the same level.
Not only did Ouyang Weijian's flying sword turn into a stream of wind, his body had also turned into a stream of wind that was everywhere, causing Ji Xuanxuan to have no way of grasping his whereabouts. The two puppets in his hands were being toyed with by Ouyang Weijian in mid-air, while Ji Xuanxuan himself had become the target of Ouyang Weijian's Flowing Wind Sword. He could only rely on the huge shield in his hand to desperately block.
However, under the piercing attacks of the Flowing Wind Sword, the shield in Ji Xuanxuan's hand finally couldn't hold on any longer. Cracks began to appear on the surface.
Ji Xuanxuan knew in his heart that if this continued, then he would lose without a doubt, so he called back the two puppets to protect his left and right, whereas he himself retreated towards Zhenling's side, yet he said, "Ouyang Weijian, consider yourself formidable today. Once I return to cultivate for a while, I'll surely beat you to the point of kneeling and begging for mercy next time!"
"Humph!" Ouyang Weijian let out a cold snort. The Flowing Wind Sword in his hand suddenly turned into eighteen streams of wind, intercepting the retreating Ji Xuanxuan from all directions. This was one of the two great divine abilities contained within the "Merry Eighteen Swords of Wind" that Ouyang Weijian grasped, and it was called the "Great Wind Divine Ability". Obviously, he didn't want Ji Xuanxuan to escape so easily.
What Ji Xuanxuan said just now was actually admitting defeat. It was just that Ji Xuanxuan's mouth had always been vicious and he wasn't willing to admit defeat. If he called the cultivators from the other sects, they might stop on account of Zhenling, but Xuan Ling Sect wouldn't, and Ouyang Weijian even more so. Ji Xuanxuan was an outstanding figure amongst Zhenling's third generation disciples, so Ouyang Weijian had already made up his mind that he wouldn't let Ji Xuanxuan escape unscathed.
Countless sword whistles came from all around Ji Xuanxuan as eighteen different wind swords attacked Ji Xuanxuan. Ji Xuanxuan's expression changed greatly, and one of his shields suddenly turned into six pieces that revolved around Ji Xuanxuan, protecting him within. However, the two puppets around him didn't even wait for him to withdraw before they were smashed into pieces by the tyrannical sword intent contained within the omnipresent flowing wind.
Seventy percent of Ji Xuanxuan's abilities were on his puppets. Seeing that two of his puppets had been destroyed, blood immediately flowed out of Ji Xuanxuan's mouth. Under the protection of the six small shields, his body quickly flew towards Zhenling's camp.
However, after Ouyang Weijian destroyed Ji Xuanxuan's puppets, he still didn't defend himself. The Flowing Wind Sword chased after Ji Xuanxuan's back and stabbed towards his heart.
Just as the Flowing Wind Sword was about to pierce Ji Xuanxuan's back, countless trees and brambles suddenly rose from the ground behind Ji Xuanxuan. In an instant, they turned into a wall of trees, blocking all of the whistling wind outside the forest.
Seeing that Ji Xuanxuan had taken the opportunity to escape back to Zhenling's camp, Ouyang Weijian knew that he no longer had a chance. Thus, he extended his hand and waved. Countless streams of wind retreated from the forest and once again gathered in his hand, gradually transforming into a green flying sword.
From Zhenling's camp, a cultivator in his thirties who was dressed like a scholar walked out. When Ouyang Weijian saw this person, his eyes narrowed.
The cultivator cupped his hands towards Ouyang Weijian and said, "Both sides are fighting without killing each other. My Junior Brother Ji has already admitted defeat, yet you are still chasing after him. Clearly, you want to kill my Junior Brother Ji. I am untalented. Although I am still a third generation disciple, I have cultivated nearly a hundred years more than Spiritual Master Ouyang. I would like to shamelessly seek guidance from Spiritual Master Ouyang. I hope that you will not be stingy with your guidance. "
Ouyang Weijian looked at the person in front of him. He could feel that although this person's cultivation level was the same as his, the person's true essence was incomparably thick. It was obvious that he was Zhenling, a cultivator who had been stuck at the sixth layer of the Core Forging realm and had yet to break through.
There were a few cultivators like this in Xuan Ling Sect, but most of them were like this cultivator in front of him because they wanted to find a high-grade and more suitable Heaven and Earth Spirit Treasure to help them advance to the late Core Forging realm in preparation for advancing to the Transcendence realm in the future.
These cultivators didn't do so because they were weak. On the contrary, these cultivators didn't hesitate to lower their cultivation speed for their future achievements. After enduring for decades, their foundation was unfathomable, and Ouyang Weijian had no choice but to treat them with caution.
At this time, a cultivator from Xuan Ling Sect who already knew this person told Ouyang Weijian about his background. Ouyang Weijian's heart trembled, but he still smiled and said, "I was wondering who it was. So it's Jiang Tianlin, Laozu's eldest disciple, Spiritual Master Xuantian."
Spiritual Master Xuantian. A hundred years ago, he was also an all-powerful figure on the North Sea's Rookie List. He was also one of the top ten on the Rookie List. However, back then, the Rookie List wasn't as competitive as it was now. The top twenty-five cultivators on the list were all in the mid Core Forging realm. This was something that wouldn't have happened in Spiritual Master Xuantian's time.
Spiritual Master Xuantian smiled faintly. Although he thought that his cultivation level was only on par with Ouyang Weijian's, he had accumulated more than a hundred years of cultivation. Even if he defeated Ouyang Weijian, he would still lose face. It was just that today, he heard that Junior Brother Lu Xuanping had arrived, but he still hadn't shown up. Under such circumstances, the only people who could be on par with Ouyang Weijian were the few third generation disciples who had delayed advancing to the late Core Forging realm because they were waiting for a suitable Heaven and Earth Spirit Treasure.
Just as Spiritual Master Xuantian was about to attack, he suddenly heard a sigh coming from the sky. Spiritual Master Xuantian's face lit up. He smiled at Ouyang Weijian and retreated.
Ouyang Weijian remembered the person who sighed. He looked up at the sky and coldly said, "So Brother Lu has arrived long ago. Why didn't you show up? Why did you watch your Junior Brother be defeated by me? Could it be that with Brother Lu's cultivation, you want to make your Junior Brother consume my Zhen Yuan first and then win?"
Lu Ping's figure still hadn't appeared in the sky. Lu Ping didn't care about Ouyang Weijian's sarcasm. He faintly said, "I originally didn't want to pay attention to you, but Brother Ouyang kept forcing me, so I had to make a move. Since Brother Ouyang has just fought with Junior Brother Ji, I don't want to take advantage of Brother Ouyang. Let's decide the outcome with one move! "
Ouyang Weijian was furious when he heard Lu Ping's words. Deciding the outcome with one move meant that Lu Xuanping was confident he could defeat him in one move.
Not only Ouyang Weijian, but the spectators from Zhenling, Xuan Ling, and other sects were also in an uproar. Deciding the outcome with one move? This Lu Xuanping was really arrogant. Ouyang Weijian was already arrogant, but now someone even more arrogant had appeared.
In the sky shrouded in green mist, Spiritual Master Xuanzhu frowned and said, "Junior Brother, how confident are you?"
Lu Ping looked up and found that it wasn't just Spiritual Master Xuanzhu, but the other cultivators also had ugly expressions. They all felt that Lu Ping was being too arrogant.
Spiritual Master Guo Xuanshan thought for a moment and said, "If that's the case, it'll be a bit unfair!"
The crowd didn't know what Spiritual Master Guo Xuanshan meant, but Lu Ping and the four Laozu knew what he meant. Spiritual Master Guo Xuanshan was saying that if Lu Ping fought with his late Core Forging cultivation, it would be an unfair win.
Lu Ping flashed a reassuring smile at Guo Xuanshan and pointed his finger at Ouyang Weijian. A golden light flashed and disappeared.
Although Lu Ping's words were arrogant, after Lu Ping finished speaking, all the cultivators looked expectantly in the direction where Lu Ping's voice came from. They all wanted to see if the famous "Water Sword Immortal" could defeat the "Wind Sword Immortal" in one move!
Suddenly, a golden light flashed in the sky!
He made his move!
Ouyang Weijian's heart tightened. All he could focus on was the golden light in the sky!
He made his move!
The cultivators from the various sects were excited. This was definitely a clash between Zhenling and Xuan Ling Sect's most outstanding third generation disciple. Perhaps, it would also be a preview of the final outcome of the battle between Zhenling and Xuan Ling Sect in the future!
The golden light didn't move as fast as lightning, but as it got closer, it looked more and more majestic!
As it got closer, Ouyang Weijian's expression became more and more solemn. At this moment, the cultivators from the various sects suddenly exclaimed!
When everyone looked at the sky again, the golden stream of light had turned into a golden torrent. It was like a heavenly river descending from the sky, charging towards Ouyang Weijian with an unstoppable momentum.
Ouyang Weijian's countenance changed slightly. He saw the loud sound of flowing water slapping against the reefs suddenly ring out in the golden sky. As it expanded and contracted, it seemed as if it was scouring the invisible banks on both sides of the river. Piles of golden waves rolled up, bringing with them the chill of sword light.
Rocks pierced through the sky, waves beat against the shore, and a thousand piles of snow were swept up!
This was the true power of the "Great River Flows East" sword technique!
This was the true power that Lu Ping had comprehended from the process of Celestial Phenomenon Laozu fighting against the Lightning Tribulation River!
The true "Great River Flows East" was a combination of "Rocks Piercing Sky Sword Technique", "Raging Waves Crashing Shore Sword Technique", and "Thousand Piles Snow Sword Technique". Only then could the true power of this set of sword techniques be unleashed and become a powerful sword technique!
In the past, Lu Ping hadn't completely figured this out. Lu Ping had only used the six sword techniques recorded in the "North Sea Wave Listening Formula" to practice, and Lu Ping had indeed made a name for himself with these six sword techniques, gaining the illustrious reputation of the "Water Sword Immortal". However, at this moment, Lu Ping suddenly realized that he had been completely wrong!
His own swordsmanship had taken a detour. These six sword techniques were learned step by step. Although Lu Ping practiced them from easy to difficult, he had always neglected the connection between them. Lu Ping hadn't even comprehended the true "Great River Flows East" sword technique before he started to practice the "Hundred Rivers into the Sea Sword Technique" that he shouldn't have practiced in the first place. What's more, he had even practiced the "Hundred Rivers into the Sea Sword Technique" into a powerful sword technique!
This couldn't be blamed on Lu Ping. The creation of these six sword techniques was obviously the process of the growth of a river. Small streams accumulated into a big river, and the ocean converged into a hundred rivers. However, Lu Ping was born in the North Sea. There was no river here for Lu Ping to observe and comprehend. There was only the vast ocean, the surging wind and waves.
Although Lu Ping hadn't seen the true vastness of the "Great River Flows East", he had first comprehended the "Hundred Rivers into the Sea" from the boundless ocean!
It was unknown whether it was Lu Ping's fortune or misfortune!
However, at this moment, Lu Ping's desire to go to the Central Plains was extremely strong. What kind of scene would the true "Great River Flows East" look like? How was it different from the boundless ocean?
Was the true "Hundred Rivers into the Sea Sword Technique" really the power of a powerful sword technique?
With just the "Great River Flows East" sword technique, Lu Ping hadn't seen the true majestic scene of the "Great River Flows East". He had only observed the celestial river formed by the tribulation lightning and was able to comprehend such a powerful and powerful divine power. If Lu Ping could personally go to the Central Plains to take a look at the winding Flowing Flower River and the Setting Sun River, which was known as the longest river in the Central Plains, how much would his swordsmanship improve?
If he could go to the estuaries of the Flowing Flower River and the Setting Sun River to see the true scene of the "Hundred Rivers into the Sea Sword Technique", to what extent would his "Hundred Rivers into the Sea Sword Technique" improve?
Lu Ping suddenly had a premonition that the "Hundred Rivers into the Sea Sword Technique" wasn't something that could be reached with just a single great divine power!
A muffled groan suddenly came from below, interrupting Lu Ping's thoughts. Lu Ping looked down and saw that Ouyang Weijian had long been submerged in the golden celestial river.
A strange smile appeared on Lu Ping's face. Under the shocked gazes of Daoist Xuan Zhu and even Daoist Guo Xuanshan, he waved his hand and dissipated the golden celestial river.
Ouyang Weijian came out in a sorry state. His eyes were filled with disbelief and fear.
The surrounding cultivators were completely silent!
He really defeated Ouyang Weijian in a single move!
They were both at the sixth layer of the Core Forging realm!
