The boasting was getting louder and louder.
Tian Buji sweated guiltily.
He had personally witnessed the sparring between Yu Zhenghai, Yu Shangrong, and the monastery master, Xia Changqiu.
Judging from the situation, the two were equally matched with the Abbey Dean.
In other words, they were both Eight-leaf cultivators.
Indeed, with such a cultivation base, Ye Zhen had the right to be proud. He was also an elite in the cultivation world. However, in the eyes of an elite like Ye Zhen, an Eight-leaf cultivator was insignificant.
Even against Liang Zidao, the Abbey Dean did not dare to claim victory.
Liang Zidao was famous for being a battle maniac. In the past battles, he had always been the Flying Star House's top fighter.
Apart from the Nine-leaf elites from the Flying Star House, Liang Zidao had never been defeated by an Eight-leaf cultivator.
The person on Liang Zidao's left … fell several meters down.
He looked at Yu Shangrong and said, "The Flying Star House doesn't kill nameless people. Tell me your name."
Yu Shangrong did not play by the rules. Instead, he said, "Since you won't listen to my advice, I'll have to offend you."
His figure flickered and disappeared.
The Eight-leaf red lotus cultivator was slightly taken aback.
He did not summon his avatar. When his companion's avatar was sliced open, he could tell that Yu Shangrong possessed a heaven-grade weapon.
Liang Zidao shook his head. "Yun Huan, finish this quickly."
"Yes."
Even the Eight-leaf cultivator, Yun Huan, had to obey Liang Zidao's orders.
It was evident that Liang Zidao's cultivation base was very high.
Yu Shangrong appeared and swung his sword.
Swoosh.
Yun Huan was shocked. He forced himself to move backward and put some distance between them.
Yu Shangrong smiled faintly. "Not bad."
Yu Zhenghai shook his head. "Second Junior Brother, you've lost in the first move."
"It's still too early to say that I've lost."
"Don't underestimate your enemy. What if this old geezer conceals his cultivation base and reveals himself as a Nine-leaf cultivator? You'll be caught off guard," Yu Zhenghai teased.
Yu Shangrong knew Yu Shangrong was joking, but he knew Yu Shangrong had a point.
If there was a Nine-leaf cultivator, he could only … follow Old Fourth's example.
With a sway of his figure, he disappeared from where he stood.
In the next moment, Yu Shangrong appeared in front of Yun Huan and launched several sword shadows.
There was no energy sword!
Everyone was puzzled.
Yun Huan felt insulted by his opponent, and he sent out several palm prints.
Yu Shangrong spun around. He stepped on air and nimbly dodged the attack.
Ji Fengxing praised, "What a fast movement technique."
Tian Buji was puzzled. "Why aren't you using your energy? On purpose? "
Yu Shangrong's extreme speed was on full display.
The red palm prints that filled the sky were actually all dodged by his nimble movements … and he even drew near to swing his sword.
Traceless Sword Will.
The Longevity Sword shone with a red light as it slashed at Yun Huan's avatar.
"I've been waiting for this move … Open!"
The Red Lotus Throne erupted with Vital Qi that was like a huge wave. It was not Stellar Energy, but it swept back.
He thought Yu Shangrong would stop swinging his sword and retreat.
However, he did not know Yu Shangrong at all.
When the Sword Demon attacked, how could he retreat?
Once the sword was unsheathed, it would advance courageously!
Horizontal slash!
The sword left his hand!
The Longevity Sword spun and slashed.
Yu Shangrong raised his arms to block the attack. He flipped backward and retreated with extreme grace.
Bang!
The Longevity Sword swept past the red lotus avatar before it circled the area and returned to Yu Shangrong's palm.
Yun Huan glared at Yu Shangrong. He looked at his avatar with a hint of reluctance.
Yu Shangrong had injured his avatar without using his energy or avatar. The cut was not huge nor was it fatal. However, it had indeed cut him.
For an elite, this was a humiliation he could not accept.
Just when he was about to charge out again …
"Yun Huan."
"Elder Liang?!" Yun Huan was puzzled.
"Stand down."
"I'm not done yet."
"You're no match for him. If he had unleashed his avatar earlier, you'd be gravely injured by now." Liang Zidao had seen everything that had happened.
Liang Zidao descended slowly.
Yun Huan retreated respectfully.
Liang Zidao looked at Yu Shangrong and said, "You're very powerful."
"It's nothing." Yu Shangrong smiled.
"However … you're not powerful enough."
As soon as Yu Shangrong finished speaking.
Liang Zidao's energy fist shot toward Yu Shangrong like a meteor.
Yu Shangrong was experienced in battle. He knew Liang Zidao would launch a surprise attack. He raised his Longevity Sword before himself.
Bam!
The energy fist collided with the sword. Both of them retreated at the same time.
This was just a test.
"What did Xia Changqiu give you for an elite like you to help him?"
Yu Shangrong lowered his sword. His gaze was calm as he said, "I'm staying here. I can't just stand by and watch."
"That's all?"
"That's all."
Liang Zidao felt as though his intelligence was being insulted. His body shone with red energy as he shot out like a cannonball.
Yu Shangrong swung his sword.
At first, he swung his sword at a slow pace. Then, he sped up until his movements became blurry.
This was similar to when he swung his sword at witchcraft's tentacles.
When he swung his sword in a waterfall, not a single drop of water would touch him. When he swung his sword in the snow, not a single snowflake would fall to the ground. When he swung his sword, nothing could be seen. All he could see was a blurry, circular area. Liang Zidao's figure filled the air as well. He launched energy fists in an attempt to break through the area formed by Yu Shangrong's sword shadows.
"This sword technique …" Ji Fengxing's eyes widened in shock.
"He hasn't used his full strength. It's not worth mentioning." Yu Zhenghai shook his head.
"He hasn't used his full strength?"
"Let's keep watching."
At this moment …
Liang Zidao unleashed his avatar.
When the red lotus appeared, Liang Zidao's speed doubled.
The energy fists in the air instantly converged. Bam!
Yu Shangrong's sword shadows converged as well and blocked Liang Zidao's energy fists.
Yu Shangrong flipped backward.
"Do you think I'm Yun Huan?"
Crack!
Liang Zidao flew into his avatar and charged at Yu Shangrong with the red lotus.
Ji Fengxing was secretly delighted. "This is a chance to kill his avatar!"
Yu Shangrong flipped his right hand and gripped his Longevity Sword in a reverse grip. Instead of retreating, he advanced.
His figure blurred as he attacked from the left, middle, and right.
"Young man … I'll teach you a lesson today."
The red lotus spun. Its leaves bloomed as it spun.
Yu Shangrong's three shadows merged into one before he swung his sword.
Liang Zidao charged forward with his avatar.
"What technique is this?"
"Aren't you afraid of a heaven-grade weapon?"
Bam!
Yu Shangrong's Longevity Sword slashed across the red lotus.
There was no cut!
He looked at the red leaves on the lotus. They were not Eight-leaf, but Eight-and-a-half leaves.
Half of the ninth leaf had already grown out.
Energy surged as Liang Zidao struck with his palm.
Yu Shangrong's terrifying reflexes were on full display.
The Eight-leaf golden avatar hovered in the air before it turned around.
It met Liang Zidao's energy fist.
Bam!
The energy fist landed on Yu Shangrong's avatar. The Longevity Sword slashed out with a golden energy sword. Whoosh!
Yu Shangrong retracted his avatar. The impact was negated as he thrust his sword forward.
Bam!
The Longevity Sword struck its target. The tip of the sword pierced Liang Zidao's shoulder.
The air seemed to freeze.
The others were shocked.
Liang Zidao's eyes widened. He looked at his shoulder before looking at Yu Shangrong. "An invader from the golden lotus domain?!"
Tian Buji and the others frowned.
The appearance of the golden avatar shocked the others.
"Xia Changqiu is colluding with the golden lotus domain … No wonder … I'm going to start a massacre today! Everyone, attack! None of you can escape! "
The Flying Star House had studied the Black Water Mystic Cave for a long time. They were the first sect to send their men to the golden lotus domain.
Initially, they wanted to intimidate the Thousand Willow Monastery. However, now that the golden lotus had appeared, it triggered his killing intent.
Dozens of disciples flew out from the Flying Star House's flying chariot. The disciples who were already here circulated their Primal Qi as well.
Yun Huan glanced at Tian Buji and said, "The Thousand Willow Monastery is colluding with the Other Tribes. Kill them without mercy!"
Ji Fengxing and Wuwu were stunned.
"Why … why is it golden? What's going on?"
Wuwu looked at Yu Zhenghai. Yu Zhenghai shook his head and said, "Second Junior Brother, are you still going to hold back when you're so powerful?"
Yu Shangrong raised his Longevity Sword and said, "Eight-and-a-half-leaf … Interesting."
He joined his palms together.
The Longevity Sword split into two, two into four, four into eight …
Primal Restoration.
Thousands of energy swords appeared above him.
"Eight-and-a-half-leaf?" Yu Zhenghai looked at Liang Zidao.
The cultivators swarmed toward him.
Yu Shangrong summoned his avatar again. Energy swords spun!
Several cultivators were slashed to the ground.
Sword Devil's Destiny!
Another grand technique was unleashed. Thousands of energy swords rained down on the Flying Star House disciples as if they were nothing.
Tian Buji and Ji Fengxing gulped.
"So, this is a second-grade sword technique?"
The Flying Star House disciples endured the energy swords. Those who could not hold on were pierced by the energy swords and died.
"Young man … It's over!"
With a burst of movement, Liang Zidao entered the range of the Sword Devil's Destiny's energy swords.
His Eight-and-a-half-leaf avatar was hanging upside down. The lotus was above, and the avatar was below!
The red lotus blocked the energy swords. At the same time, an energy fist shot toward Yu Zhenghai.
"Big brother!"
"Senior!"
Yu Zhenghai frowned slightly. He grabbed the Jasper Saber with trembling fingers. 'Second Junior Brother …'
Before Liang Zidao could make a move, a smile appeared on Yu Shangrong's face. "Sorry, I'm going to slash the red lotus!"
Whizz!
The golden avatar appeared again. Its arms shone with golden radiance as it wielded a huge energy sword.
"What's going on? The avatar can move? "
"There's no golden lotus?!"
At this moment, Liang Zidao discovered the Longevity Sword was no longer in Yu Shangrong's palm. There was only an energy sword!
Swoosh!
The huge energy sword slashed down.
"Damn it!" Liang Zidao cried out in pain. A quarter of his lotus was sliced off by the huge energy sword!
Yu Shangrong hovered in the air and raised his hand gracefully.
The avatar vanished. The Longevity Sword circled among the energy swords before returning to Yu Shangrong's palm.
Liang Zidao's face flushed red as he retreated 100 meters. He spat out a mouthful of blood.
Tian Buji's eyes widened as he watched this. He wanted to applaud this exciting battle, but he suppressed the urge.
Who could defeat an Eight-and-a-half-leaf cultivator?
Even Yu Zhenghai, his Eldest Senior Brother, who had always argued with Yu Shangrong, could not help but raise his hand and clap.
"What do you think?" Yu Shangrong smiled faintly.
