On Luo Yang's body, there were also strange leopard tattoos that were identical to the ones on his face.
But unless he was so excited that his clothes were about to explode, the spectating cultivators wouldn't be able to see this.
After the leopard tattoos covered his body, Luo Yang's body began to emit a fierce aura.
He had already activated the full power of the Dark Leopard Dharma Idol.
Boom!
Luo Yang's entire body glowed with a silver light. With a boom, he soared into the air, once again charging towards Lu Qingshan.
His speed, which had already been as fast as lightning, increased once again. He flew out like a dancing wind.
Lu Qingshan made a prompt decision. The Dragon Sparrow spiraled out, lightning and fire flashing. But on top of that, Lu Qingshan added another sword strike.
The River of Forgetfulness also shot out, chopping down at Luo Yang.
Even though Luo Yang's body was invincible, he couldn't ignore a flying sword that was infinitely close to the realm of lightning and fire. But he could withstand it for a while.
That was what Luo Yang did.
He ignored Lu Qingshan's two flying swords and roared. His roar was fierce and unpleasant to the ears as he rushed towards Lu Qingshan.
He wanted to close in.
Sword cultivators also had close combat abilities.
However, body cultivators were fully deserving of the title of King of Close Combat!
This time, Luo Yang's body was slashed by Lu Qingshan's two flying swords. Blood oozed from the corners of his mouth, but his eyes were filled with an ominous light. He was getting closer and closer to Lu Qingshan.
In response, Lu Qingshan's choice was …
Not to retreat, but to advance.
He had always been a sword cultivator who wasn't afraid of close combat.
And in close combat, the thrill of blood flowing through one's body was addictive.
This was why so many sword cultivators in his previous life refused to stay in the back and use their flying swords to attack in large-scale battles. They would always rush into the fray, wanting to make a move and then be defeated.
It was easy and addictive.
A dark green peach blossom appeared in Lu Qingshan's hand.
The peach blossom's quality wasn't as good as that of the River of Forgetfulness or the Dragon Sparrow. It couldn't reach the realm of lightning and fire.
Flying swords that hadn't reached that level couldn't even break through Luo Yang's defense, so he didn't attack.
However, Peach Blossom's Immortal Divine Power was a great weapon against body cultivators.
Therefore, the peach blossom was undoubtedly the most suitable sword to wield.
Lu Qingshan's expression was cold and indifferent. Strange runes suddenly appeared in his eyes. They were hidden in his black pupils and no one could detect them.
The spiritual power in his body began to pour out.
True Meaning of Karma. Mystical ability: Foresight.
What other abilities could be more useful than the ability of foresight in a melee battle where the outcome of the battle was on the line?
Luo Yang's expression was ferocious as he looked at Lu Qingshan, who was almost within reach of him, brandishing his sword. The corners of his bloodstained mouth curled up in a mocking smile.
Did he really think that his swordsmanship was unparalleled? You're actually so arrogant as to fight me in close combat?
.....
"That's not a wise decision. Luo Yang's body is incredibly tough. He can make ten or even dozens of mistakes. However, if Lu Qingshan makes even one mistake, he'll be defeated," someone in the distance said in a low voice.
"Senior Apprentice Sister Lin Yao, do you think he can win?" A woman stood in a remote corner and asked a tall, slender woman next to her in a low voice.
"He can win," Lin Yao said, nodding.
"Why are you so sure?" Ling Yue asked in surprise.
"I understand him." Lin Yao turned to look at Ling Yue's small face and asked meaningfully, "Junior Apprentice Sister, do you think he can win?"
Ling Yue stuck out her tongue and said embarrassedly, "He can win."
"Junior Apprentice Sister, don't use this divine power too much. Uncle-Master said that if you use it too much before you reach the Dao, you'll have too much karma. When the Heavenly Tribulation comes, the Heavenly Dao will punish you," Lin Yao said solemnly.
"I know …" Ling Yue's voice trailed off, and then she muttered, "That leopard's body is covered in a purplish black aura. It's obvious that he's unlucky. He's being attacked by evil spirits, and he's about to die.
Lu Qingshan's body is purplish red, which means that everything is going well. "
Lin Yao took a deep breath.
She didn't say anything, but her ears perked up. Although Ling Yue seemed to be muttering to herself, she heard everything that Ling Yue had said on purpose.
If Ling Yue's words fell into the ears of anyone who was paying attention, they would definitely cause a huge uproar.
There were tens of thousands of magical techniques in the world, but any divine power that could detect a person's future and fate was forbidden.
The secrets of the heavens could not be revealed, and those who cultivated such divine powers were usually treading on thin ice.
For example, the Heaven's Secrets Observatory was the best at detecting the secrets of the heavens. Even if they used the Heaven's Secrets Mirror to detect the secrets of the heavens, they would still have to pay with their lives.
However, Ling Yue was completely different from ordinary people. She was born with a pair of inconceivable divine eyes.
Yes, she was born with them, not cultivated them.
In her eyes, the colors of the world were different.
With the help of these divine eyes, she could see a person's fate for a short period of time in the future.
Using these divine eyes didn't cost anything. The only price was that those who stole the secrets of the heavens would be punished. Every time Ling Yue used these divine eyes, her karma would deepen.
Moreover, these karma wouldn't have any negative effects on her when she was at a lower realm.
However, if she could cultivate to the point of transcending tribulation, these karma would turn into heavenly tribulation and descend upon her.
After the Mirror Lake Monastery Master had taken her in as a disciple, she had warned her that her eyes were the eyes of an ancient god and that she shouldn't use this divine power too much.
This was because godly spirits were born in response to tribulation.
.....
"Roar!"
Luo Yang roared in a low voice. Behind him, a sinister and vicious leopard appeared, its brown eyes flashing with a cold light.
His entire body merged with the leopard, and he looked like a leopard at the same time. In the blink of an eye, he faced Lu Qingshan's sword with his right palm.
Just as the spectating cultivators had said, he could withstand more than ten strikes from Lu Qingshan, but Lu Qingshan's body couldn't withstand a single blow from him.
Therefore, he was prepared to exchange his palm for a sword with Lu Qingshan.
Body cultivators relied on their powerful bodies for close combat. If you can't kill me, I'll kill you. There was a high margin for error.
Sword cultivators relied on their unparalleled explosive power and powerful techniques for close combat.
In terms of aesthetic and difficulty, sword cultivators were naturally superior. However, there was no room for error. Dancing on the tip of a knife was nothing more than this.
Luo Yang's five fingers were bent and straight like jade. They were pressed together to form a hollow fist. His middle finger was especially prominent, and his other four fingers formed sharp diamond-shaped angles to increase his killing power.
This move wasn't an ordinary attack. It was a divine power that he had cultivated in the form of a leopard.
"Sky-Soaring Leopard Hammer."
Luo Yang's claws were short, but they were fast. Lu Qingshan's sword was slightly slower, but his sword was three feet long. No one could tell how fast it was.
However, Luo Yang understood that at such a close distance, even if Lu Qingshan was a deity, he wouldn't be able to react in time.
In the end, Lu Qingshan was still a bit faster.
His sword stabbed into Luo Yang's chest, but he immediately felt a layer of obstruction. It was as if he wasn't stabbing into a body, but rather a rock.
Lu Qingshan was calm and unruffled. He had clearly just stabbed out with his sword, but when he should have used up all of his strength, a fierce aura erupted from it, causing its power to suddenly double.
This was a technique that he had learned from Xia Daoyun and incorporated into his Heaven Suppressing Technique. It was a technique that belonged solely to him, "Sudden Thunder from Flat Ground."
Two strikes from one sword caused the peach blossom to instantly break through the obstruction. In the end, it pierced an inch into Luo Yang's body, leaving behind a two-foot-long wound.
Sword Qi poured into Luo Yang's body like a tidal wave, seeping into the wound.
But at the same time, Luo Yang's Soaring Panther Hammer suddenly appeared, heading straight for Lu Qingshan's chest.
Serene Panther Steals the Heart.
His movements were extremely fast.
What stunned everyone was that after Lu Qingshan had thrust out his sword, it was as if he had predicted everything. He had actually taken advantage of the situation to rush out and pass by Luo Yang, narrowly avoiding the Leopard Hammer. Luo Yang's full power had hit nothing but air, and his sword had been for nothing.
"This … isn't he a bit too confident and daring?" someone cried out in alarm.
No one had expected that Lu Qingshan would actually use this method to avoid the sharp edge of the Panther Paw's claw.
It had to be known that if Luo Yang's Soaring Panther Hammer had been three inches to the left, Lu Qingshan would have felt that the Panther Paw wasn't strong enough and would have sent him to his death.
Lu Qingshan's eyes shone with a cold light. His entire body was completely focused.
The spectating cultivators felt that the situation was extremely dangerous, but he was completely confident.
He wasn't an immortal.
However, it wasn't as if he could predict everything.
Rather, it was true.
The True Will of Karma's prophecy was miraculous. In close combat, its power was finally displayed to the fullest.
When Luo Yang's claw struck out, Lu Qingshan already knew that this was a Panther Manifestation Theurgy and knew where the Soaring Panther Hammer would land.
Luo Yang's expression changed slightly. Not only because Lu Qingshan had dodged his attack, but also because of the Sword Qi that was wreaking havoc in his wound.
He sensed it at the first moment. Blood Qi gushed out from his entire body and destroyed the Sword Qi. Just as he was about to heave a sigh of relief, he suddenly discovered that there was a strange Sword Qi present at his wound, suppressing the Blood Qi there and making it extremely difficult for him to heal.
This was the indestructible power of the peach blossom.
For a body cultivator at his level, a muscle injury was generally considered a "good thing I discovered it early. If I had discovered it later, the wound would have healed." But this strange Sword Qi made it so that Luo Yang couldn't be so arrogant.
The battle continued. Luo Yang didn't have time to think about the Sword Qi around his wound. He looked back at the moon and struck out with his claw again.
It was better to leave these small problems for after winning this battle.
Lu Qingshan faced him head-on. He quickly retreated a few inches, dodging the attack by a hair's breadth. At the same time, he struck out with his sword, leaving another wound on Luo Yang's scalp.
Another free sword strike.
Just as everyone thought that this thrilling battle had eased a little, Lu Qingshan and Bao Chi didn't hesitate to attack again.
Lu Qingshan's eyes narrowed.
Because he could sense that Luo Yang's attack this time was different from the previous one.
Because of his ability to predict the future, Luo Yang's attack had actually sealed off the area around him.
This was an area-of-effect attack!
Lu Qingshan immediately reacted.
Yes, although Luo Yang didn't understand how Lu Qingshan could always narrowly avoid his attacks, he still decisively changed his attack to an area-of-effect attack.
How are you going to dodge this?
Luo Yang's reaction was too fast.
His ability to predict the future wasn't invincible. He could only predict the shape and location of his opponent's next attack, but he couldn't block it for him.
When the attacks came at him from all directions, what was the use of knowing it?
Luo Yang's right palm began to vibrate at a frightening speed. A ring of silver light spread out from his palm as if it were solid.
Looking at this scene, Lu Qingshan's pupils suddenly shrank.
Such a high speed vibration put a great burden on the body. Luo Yang's body was indeed incomparably strong.
The silver light formed a giant leopard in the air. It pounced at Lu Qingshan, instantly covering his body.
Lu Qingshan, who had predicted this attack in advance, was naturally prepared.
Accompanied by a clanging sound, the Five Elements Sword Robe of Metal, Wood, Water, Fire, and Earth had already left his body before the leopard had formed.
Five layers of barriers, some reducing damage, some weakening, some melting, and some splitting, blocked the silver light leopard.
However, the powerful impact caused the blood in his body to churn. Blood seeped out of the corners of his mouth.
He was injured.
Lu Qingshan, who had been slightly injured, was filled with ferocity.
The Dragon Sparrow and River of Forgetfulness, which had just attacked, had finally recovered. They circled back and reached for Luo Yang's nether regions.
They were vicious and precise.
Luo Yang's expression changed.
No matter how soft a man was, there were some places that were as hard as iron.
Similarly, no matter how hard a man was, there were some places that were soft most of the time.
He didn't dare to take the two flying swords head-on. His body twisted, and his Speed Concept exploded out. He flashed backwards like a shadow, so fast that he was able to pull away from the flying swords that were moving at nearly a hundred times the speed of sound.
However, as a body cultivator, he had actually given up on close-range combat when facing a sword cultivator. This was a great humiliation!
Luo Yang took advantage of the time he had gained to recover. He reached out with two claws, blocking the two swords of thunder and fire.
Silver light flashed, and two crisp sounds rang out from his jade-like palms.
When he saw that Luo Yang had taken the initiative to pull away, Lu Qingshan couldn't have asked for more. The Dragon Sparrow and Peach Blossom attacked in quick succession.
Luo Yang was extremely fast, and his physical defenses were astonishing. However, even an iron rod could be ground into a needle. No matter how hard Luo Yang was, how long could he last?
Before long, many small wounds appeared all over Luo Yang's body, and his skin was exposed.
As a result, Luo Yang closed in once more.
Lu Qingshan naturally didn't fear him, and he met him head on.
Marquis Luo Tang's expression stiffened as he watched the scene unfold in the arena.
This was because the situation wasn't optimistic at all.
He didn't know why Xia Daoyun's disciple was so strange. He seemed to know Luo Yang's methods like the back of his hand, and every time Luo Yang's attacks missed.
With no other choice, Luo Yang could only turn his attacks into group attacks so that Lu Qingshan wouldn't be able to dodge.
But everyone knew that group attacks covered a much wider area than individual attacks. The price was that their power would decrease, and their consumption of spiritual energy would greatly increase.
As a result, very few people would choose to use group attacks in a one-on-one fight.
If they did, their brains would definitely be flooded with water.
Luo Yang's brain wasn't flooded with water, but Lu Qingshan was splashing ice water on his head, so that his brain had to be flooded.
Apart from that, there were also two terrifying flying swords attacking from the side.
Under these circumstances, Luo Yang's entire body was covered in blood, and his clothes were sticky.
"Lu Qingshan is much stronger than he was a year ago," Ling Yue sighed, her eyes rippling like spring water.
Lin Yao glanced at Ling Yue, who was so excited that her face was flushed red. She didn't say anything.
On the other side.
After a long tug of war.
Lu Qingshan stepped through the air, his entire body surging with power.
Using the True Meaning of Karma consumed a terrifying amount of spiritual energy.
Seeing that Luo Yang's condition was deteriorating, Lu Qingshan decided that it was time to end this battle.
He roared in his heart.
Secret Sword – Heaven Suppressing.
At this point in the battle, he finally used his first unconventional technique.
This was a peerless secret sword created by a Sword Immortal. It was a forbidden technique with fifteen times the power.
The Peach Blossom Sword flashed with terrifying fluctuations, bringing with it a destructive aura as it chopped down at Luo Yang.
Luo Yang hurriedly stretched out his left palm to meet the sword.
Seeing that Lu Qingshan had no intention of changing his attack, Luo Yang's eyes revealed a trace of imperceptible joy.
Facing Lu Qingshan's most powerful attack, a normal person would choose to avoid it, but he didn't.
Because he also had a trump card.
He had used the Serene Leopard's true blood to transform his left palm.
The reason he hadn't used it before was because no matter how powerful this palm was, it had to be able to hit someone.
Lu Qingshan's ability to predict the future was too strange. He always managed to dodge his attacks by a hair's breadth.
And his Dharma Transformation was a single-target attack. If he used it rashly, not only would he not be able to hit Lu Qingshan, but he would also expose his greatest trump card. If Lu Qingshan became wary, that would be bad.
Now, his patience had finally given him the opportunity to win.
A blinding silver light flashed from Luo Yang's left palm.
As the silver light dissipated, his left palm swelled several times. Layers of silver scales covered his entire palm, and there were patterns on it that looked like those of a Serene Leopard.
In an instant, his palm had transformed into a leopard's palm.
The aura of a savage beast emanated from his left palm.
"That's a real leopard's palm, not an illusion of a Dharma Transformation!" someone whispered, immediately seeing the secret behind Luo Yang's palm.
Soaring Leopard Hammer!
Luo Yang used his transformed left palm to display a physical ability. Spiritual power surged out of his body.
His leopard's palm suddenly stretched out to meet Lu Qingshan's long sword, which flashed with a cold light.
Before the battle, his father had already investigated Lu Qingshan's background and told him everything.
Not only did he know that Lu Qingshan's sword was his signature Secret Sword Technique, Suppressing the Heavens.
He was even very clear about the power of this sword strike.
He was certain that the power of his palm would be able to crush Lu Qingshan's Secret Sword Technique.
Lu Qingshan, do you know that in battle, you need to know your enemy as well as yourself?
