Zhang Yu ordered the servant to bring them here.
Not long after, footsteps could be heard from outside. He turned around and saw Shi Yanxin, Yin Huanting, and another handsome Daoist walking over.
There were two other True Cultivators with them.
The one walking in front was a Daoist in a light green wide-sleeved Daoist robe. His forehead was full, his eyes were calm, and his Qi was deep. This was the Shen Ruo Qiu that Yin Huanting had mentioned.
He looked behind him and saw a young Daoist following behind Shen Ruo Qiu. He looked very timid. When he saw Shen Ruo Qiu looking at him, he immediately lowered his head as if he didn't dare to look at Shen Ruo Qiu. He even instinctively hid behind Shen Ruo Qiu.
At this time, everyone was also looking at Zhang Yu. They saw him standing alone on the rooftop with his sleeves behind his back. He looked like a real immortal who had descended to the world.
Shen Ruo Qiu's expression became serious. He could feel a majestic Qi surging from Zhang Yu's body.
According to what he knew, other than Shi Yanxin, there were no other outstanding people in Xuanxiu. He didn't expect to see such a person here.
Yin Huanting was even more surprised. When he came here last time, he could feel that Zhang Yu's Qi was obscure. He couldn't tell how strong this person was.
Today, everyone, including him, could feel the majestic Qi on Zhang Yu. At this moment, he couldn't help but feel a little more confident about this battle.
He stepped forward and bowed. "Fellow Daoist Zhang, according to what you said, only a few of us will be here to witness this battle."
Zhang Yu nodded. "Thank you, Fellow Daoists."
Yin Huanting hurriedly said that it was no problem. Then, under his introduction, Zhang Yu greeted everyone one by one.
After the ceremony, everyone stepped back and stood at the edge of the rooftop.
This time, although they were there to witness the battle, they would also prevent the two from hurting each other at the crucial moment.
After all, the two sides were not enemies. They might even fight together against the cultivators of Shangchen in the future, so there was no need to fight to the death.
At this moment, only Zhang Yu and Nie Yin were left on the rooftop. As Zhang Yu's opponent, standing in front of Zhang Yu, Nie Yin was able to directly sense the ocean like turbulent aura. This made him even more nervous and fearful, causing his complexion to faintly pale.
He struggled to stand still and cupped his fists, saying, "I hope Fellow Daoist can help me get rid of 'cowardice'."
These were sincere words. Timidity had helped him reach this step, but at the same time, it had also become his burden. If he did not sever it, he would never be able to take another step forward. It could be said that it was his greatest obstacle to achieving Dao.
He very much hoped that he could get rid of this stubbornness in battle, but so far, no one had been able to help him achieve his wish.
Zhang Yu said calmly, "You can only rely on yourself to get rid of this cowardice. No one else can help you." After he finished speaking, he returned a sword salute and said, "Please enlighten me."
Nie Yin hurriedly saluted and said, "Yes, please, please enlighten me."
Yin Huanting stood below and looked at the rooftop. He said, "Nie Yin has never lost a battle. Brother Shi, what strategy do you think Fellow Daoist Zhang will use to win?"
Shi Yanxin looked at the sword in Zhang Yu's hand and thought for a moment. He said, "If you don't break through Nie Yin's defense, then you have no chance of winning. I see that Fellow Daoist Zhang's aura is strong, and he also has the advantage of a sword. If he can gather his strength and break through his defense, then he will be able to injure Nie Yin."
Yin Huanting thought for a moment and said, "This is indeed the only way to win."
Actually, injuring Nie Yin and defeating Nie Yin were two completely different things. However, this was a competition of techniques, not a battle of life and death. Whoever was injured first would be judged as the loser. Looking at it this way, there was indeed a chance of winning.
However, while they were talking, they found that Zhang Yu was standing there motionless. Nie Yin had never taken the initiative to attack, so it looked like the two of them were confronting each other.
Yin Huanting couldn't help but feel strange. He thought to himself, "Could it be that Fellow Daoist Zhang doesn't want to win, but only wants to make peace?"
If he could win with two people and one person, then he would have won.
But how could things be so simple?
In the past, there had been people who tried not to attack Nie Yin. At the very least, they could fight to a draw.
However, the "Winning by Kneading the Furnace" technique was a technique to accumulate victory. If the opponent didn't take the initiative to attack, then it would appear to the caster that the opponent was afraid of him. This would also increase the caster's confidence. The longer the battle dragged on, the stronger the caster's momentum would be. Therefore, this was definitely not a good choice.
As for this point, it was written clearly in the records. He believed that Zhang Yu must have seen it and wouldn't make such a mistake.
Zhang Yu stood there for a moment, then said in his mind, "Bai Guo, how is it?"
Bai Guo Jun replied, "Teacher, my deduction is exactly the same as your prediction."
Zhang Yu nodded slightly. At this moment, he pointed with his finger. The Cicada Sword beside him whistled and suddenly flew up into the sky. Then, like a meteor, it came crashing down towards Nie Yin.
Everyone's spirits were lifted. They realized that the battle had truly begun.
Nie Yin looked at the sword light coming down from above. His eyes were filled with panic. However, in a battle, he would never dodge. He would only stand in place and defend.
As soon as he made a gesture, a wisp of smoke swirled around his body. The Taoist robe on his body also emitted a faint golden light, enveloping his entire body. After doing all this, he didn't dare to look outside. He closed his eyes tightly and silently operated the magical power in his heart.
The sword in the sky came crashing down. In an instant, it crashed into the smoke. The momentum attached to the sword seemed to be dissolved by layers of smoke. Seeing that it could no longer move forward, the sword light suddenly flew back.
Both Shi Yanxin and Shen Ruoqiu thought that this sword was just a test. After all, if one wanted to break through the defense of one's body, one had to test the toughness of one's body.
At this moment, they all thought that Zhang Yu would use the method of defeating the enemy with one strike.
However, what happened next caused them to reveal astonished expressions.
After the sword light flew away, it turned around and rushed down again. Then, it turned into a rainbow of light and flew around Nie Yin. In an instant, it had slashed hundreds of times.
It was too much to say that this was a test.
Yin Huating was very puzzled and asked doubtfully, "Why is Fellow Zhang doing this? Won't this only help Nie Yin's magical power? "
No one answered him, because no one knew what Zhang Yu was thinking right now.
Shi Yanxin vaguely thought of something, but it seemed to be too bold. For a moment, he didn't dare to be sure. His eyes were fixed on the field.
At this moment, one could clearly see that Nie Yin's aura was gradually rising as the sword-light continued to fly. If this continued, it wouldn't be long before his divine ability would reach its peak and he would be able to unleash that world-shaking attack.
Zhang Yu seemed to turn a blind eye to this. He stood there indifferently, still maintaining the sword momentum in front of him.
At first, Nie Yin's expression was flustered and uneasy. However, as the sword light outside was completely blocked, these emotions gradually receded from his body and his face gradually calmed down.
Shen Ruo Qiu silently looked at the field. He knew that at this time, Nie Yin had suppressed his "timidity". If the opponent didn't have a way to turn the situation around, there was no suspense in this battle.
This calm battle lasted for about half an hour. Amidst the sword light that was constantly flying, Nie Yin opened his eyes.
His expression became confident and calm. His eyes were calm and distant. It could be said that he was a completely different person from before.
His rising Qi suddenly stopped. However, at the same time, a huge aura floated above everyone's heads. It was like a dangerous mountain was swaying and the sky was about to collapse. It seemed like it could collapse at any time.
Shen Ruo Qiu shook his head. Although he didn't know what Zhang Yu's strategy was, at this point, he didn't think that the latter had any hope of winning.
Yin Huating was secretly anxious. At this point, was it possible to turn the situation around? Or rather …
He suddenly thought of a possibility.
Shi Yanxin, on the other hand, had been staring at the field since the beginning. He thought to himself, "Will it be like this …"
Nie Yin suddenly opened his mouth and said, "Fellow Daoist, are you thinking of using your magical ability to dodge my attack the moment I attack and then attack me directly? This is indeed a good idea. Because at that moment, I will definitely be unable to gather enough strength to defend myself because of my attack. That is also the only chance to break through my defense. Moreover … "
He glanced at the Cicada Sword. "Fellow Daoist, your flying sword is also fast enough. Just now, you used your sword to find the weak point of my mana through the collision of Qi."
Yin Huating's heart sank. He had the same idea just now. However, he didn't expect Nie Yin to see through it.
Shi Yanxin frowned slightly.
Nie Yin's voice carried a hint of admiration. "This is indeed a bold idea. Among my opponents in the past, even if they had such an idea, they wouldn't dare to use it. Moreover, none of them had the ability to do so. However … "
He said sincerely, "Fellow Daoist, you definitely won't be able to find a flaw in my attack. You might even be severely injured because of it. Fellow Daoist, you have to consider this carefully."
Zhang Yu said lightly, "You talk too much."
Nie Yin was stunned. Then, he nodded and said apologetically, "I spoke too much." Then, his expression became serious. "I will do my best to fight you."
When Yin Huating heard this, he couldn't help but think that it was over.
After Nie Yin finished speaking, he no longer restrained his aura. Instead, he released it. As his aura rose, a huge vortex suddenly appeared in the sky. Countless clouds of magic power gathered and shrouded the sky. Inside the vortex, there was a faint lightning-like radiance. It looked like it was about to strike down.
Only those who saw this scene with their own eyes could understand why Nie Yin said those words. This was indeed an attack that would make one despair. There was no way to dodge it.
Zhang Yu looked up at the sky. He didn't move. Instead, he raised his sleeves and pointed his index and middle fingers at the sky. The Cicada Sword flashed and shot into the sky. Then, it suddenly disappeared from everyone's sight.
At the same time, the lightning in the whirlpool seemed to have accumulated to an extreme. With a boom, it struck down!
In the next moment, it seemed to collide with something!
In the sky, the light of extreme day and extreme darkness flashed several times. Then, there was a loud bang!
A circle of ripples spread out from there and rushed in all directions. The magic tools used to cover the Starfall Palace were all shaken.
There were a total of five layers of magic tools inside and outside the palace. Under the impact of the shockwave, the first layer was almost instantly shattered. Then, the second layer, the second layer … It was only until the fifth layer was it barely stopped.
At this moment, everyone was shocked to find that the whirlpool above their heads had disappeared without a trace. Where the sunlight shone, there was only a clear sky.
The attack that seemed to be able to overturn the sky was actually destroyed by Zhang Yu's sword!
