Fang Yun could not figure out what kind of power Qiu Chongshan's ancient spear contained.
"I've used up all the power of my military book, and because I've used the Sword of Words too many times, I've used up a lot of my courage. Plus, Qiu Chongshan is a famous old general who has observed six battles. He knows my habits and fighting style like the back of his hand. I'm afraid he already has a way to counter me. At the same time, Qiu Chongshan is also one of the three people who have the Star Position. "
Fang Yun kept thinking.
"If it's just a battle of words, it's a good thing that Qiu Chongshan can't use the power of the Star Position. But if it's just a battle of words, I'll definitely lose. Without the Hidden Edge Poem or the Sword Summoning Poem, the True Dragon Ancient Sword is better in terms of material and speed, but its overall strength is definitely not as good as the ancient spear. After all, it has been practicing for more than fifty years, and it's strengthened by the dragon horn. "
After thinking for a while, Fang Yundao said, "If it's just a battle of words, I admit that I'm not as good as you. If I overestimate myself and force the battle, I'll definitely lose. But the battle of words is about overall strength. Forgive me for being so bold as to refuse. "
Many people on the platform nodded secretly. Fang Yun's words were sincere. He did not put on the airs of Xusheng and say that Qiu Chongshan was not worthy of this condition. He also did not mock Qiu Chongshan for only using the power he was good at. He was just stating the facts and showing the demeanor of a scholar.
Most importantly, although Qiu Chongshan had left that dangerous place alone, he had made a great contribution and had been bestowed with the power of the stars by Emperor Xi of the Kingdom of Qing. If Fang Yun mocked and ridiculed the person who had made a great contribution, then if others attacked him in the future, he would have nothing to say.
A few officials in Jingguo looked at Gyeongo with displeasure. They secretly cursed the Emperor of Qing for sending a sick and meritorious scholar like Qiu Chongshan. If Fang Yun's words were a little too extreme. Gyeongo would definitely make a big fuss and make many people dislike Fang Yun.
This was the battle between scholars. There was no wind and waves in the open, but there was a hidden edge in the dark.
"If that's the case, then the Old Man will not force you. However … you must be prepared to fail!" Qiu Chongshan stared at Fang Yun as if there were a hundred thousand soldiers shouting at him. Killing intent filled the air, and his fighting spirit burned like fire.
Qiu Chongshan was clearly very thin and weak. However, in everyone's eyes, it was as if it had turned into a huge mountain that connected the sky and the earth. His aura could swallow mountains and rivers.
In Qiu Chongshan's eyes, Fang Yun saw a Saint Jiao Dragon streaking across the sky!
The world darkened. Fang Yun blinked his eyes and found himself in a waist-deep snow. The cold wind was bone-piercing, and the sky was filled with snowflakes. The world was a vast expanse of whiteness.
Suddenly, several hundred meters away, an aura that was a hundred times colder than the cold wind rushed into the sky. Then, a strange dragon roar resounded throughout the world.
"Roar …"
All the snowflakes within a ten-mile radius were instantly cleared.
Fang Yun saw a three-meter-long ancient spear of talent aura flying towards him. The ancient spear was covered with lifelike dragon scales. On the surface of the ancient spear, there was a three-meter-long green Jiao Dragon shadow.
When the true name of the ancient spear was revealed, the green Jiao Dragon's eyes were flowing with golden light. Its entire body was emitting an indescribable aura, and there was a faint trace of the aura of a Saint!
The True Dragon Ancient Sword was indeed nurtured from the bones of a True Dragon, but it was only a young dragon. However, the ancient spear was honed from the Jiao Saint's dragon horn. It was innately weak, but it was far better after being honed.
Fang Yun could feel the aura of a Saint from it. He thought to himself, Legends are misleading.
The true name of the ancient spear came from the power of the Jiao Dragon, but the Talent Aura Sword was evolved from the Jiao Saint's aura. The Talent Aura Sword came from the same source as the true name, and its power was unparalleled!
The moment the ancient spear flew out, Qiu Chongshan pointed at Fang Yun, and Fang Yun's hair stood on end!
Fang Yun did not expect Qiu Chongshan to be so decisive and ruthless. Not only did he use the full power of the ancient spear, he even used the Half-saint Star Position that Xi Sheng gave him!
Xi Sheng was the Half-saint of the Shi Family.
The Shi Family was not strong during normal times. Before reaching the Grand Scholar level, they did not have any real offensive power. However, after reaching the Grand Scholar level, the Shi Family could unleash their full power. They could control the past and the future. Once used to the extreme, their power was abnormally terrifying.
This was because the Shi Family's holy book, the Spring and Autumn Annals, was also a holy book of the Confucians. Confucius was also the leader of the Shi Family.
The Shi Family's Half-saint had the same name in the Demon Realm.
The Lord of Time!
The Shi Family's Half-saint might not be the strongest in terms of killing, but they were definitely the hardest to kill. That was why even though Xi Sheng had experienced the Battle of Two Worlds Mountain and was older than all the Half-saints, he was still alive.
Fang Yun knew that he did not have time to use the Hidden Edge Poem. He immediately spat out the True Dragon Sword and faced the ancient spear head on. At the same time, he was multitasking and quickly wrote the Sword Summoning Poem, the Dragon Sword Poem. He was ready to summon the second True Dragon Sword to prevent himself from falling into a greater disadvantage.
While Fang Yun was writing the Sword Summoning Poem, he stared at Qiu Chongshan. He wanted to know which Shi Family's power Qiu Chongshan's Star Position belonged to.
Behind Qiu Chongshan, the shadow of an old man appeared. The old man's eyes were hollow as he looked up at the sky. A long river that looked like water and stars swept past behind him.
Qiu Chongshan's body trembled slightly. He pointed at Fang Yun with his index finger and recited, "History is like the flowing water, there is no return. Back to the boundless past, back to the endless past. "
Fang Yun almost failed to write the Sword Summoning Poem when he heard it. Fortunately, he was brave enough to continue writing the longer version of the Sword Summoning Poem.
After Qiu Chongshan finished speaking, Xi Sheng, who was behind him, made a grabbing motion in the air. No one knew what he grabbed, but countless rainbow-colored lights shot out like a fountain.
The colorful lights landed on the ground and condensed into a person that looked exactly like Qiu Chongshan!
Fang Yun's heart skipped a beat and a shadow flashed across his face. Just the Jiao Fang Spear alone was enough to force him to use his full strength. Now, Qiu Chongshan was able to trace back time and recreate him using the Shi Family's Star Position power. It was like two Qiu Chongshan were fighting!
Just as expected, when the second Qiu Chongshan appeared, he immediately spat out the same Jiao Fang Spear! The spear body was covered in scales and the Jiao Dragon's shadow was wrapped around the spear body. The Jiao Dragon's shadow was also exuding a faint Saint's aura.
Until now, Fang Yun finally understood why Qiu Chongshan was the eighth of the Ten Grand Scholars, why Qiu Chongshan was so famous, and why Qiu Chongshan was one of the top ten Grand Scholars in the next generation.
The Jiao Fang Spear carried the momentum of ten thousand mountains as it flew towards Zhong Yue.
The Jiao Fang Spear was not as agile or fast as the Jiao Fang Spear, but the Jiao Fang Spear's strength was several times stronger than the Jiao Fang Spear.
In the nick of time, the Sword Summoning Poem was completed. Fang Yun opened his mouth and a golden light flew out. The True Dragon Sword's replica flew towards the second Jiao Fang Spear.
Fang Yun was glad that he made the right choice to use the Sword Summoning Poem instead of the other battle poems. Otherwise, he would have to use the Ancestral Monster's Star Position power.
Suddenly, Fang Yun noticed that the speed of his two True Dragon Swords slowed down. He guessed that it was because of the Star Position power. As long as he could hold on until Qiu Chongshan's Star Position power passed, he would have a great chance of winning.
The True Dragon Sword's speed was faster than the Jiao Fang Spear. Even if it was restrained by Qiu Chongshan's Star Position power, it was not slower than the Jiao Fang Spear.
