Chapter 223 Flipping The Table
Blood Phoenix Sacred Body is one of the powerful Imperial physiques cultivated in ancient times. Its activation can draw out all the potential of the cultivator, removing their limits and granting them heavenly strength.
The stamina becomes like an inexhaustible spring, making the cultivator fight the cultivator's several realms higher than theirs.
As for the Four Seasons Heavenly Body, it was the body that borrows the strength of nature, the surrounding force of heaven and earth.
" The Four Seasons Heavenly Emperor was fortunate enough to gain the cultivation technique of Four Seasons Heavenly Physique, which made him a Heavenly Emperor."
" After that, he established the foundation of the Four Seasons Valley."
Long Ming had returned to the camp of Four Seasons Valley, standing beside Xia Yuqing.
" The cultivation technique of Four Seasons Heavenly Physique was divided into various parts, and Four Seasons Grand Energy Flowing Part was a part of it."
" However, A major part was stolen by the Sky Martial Tower after the calamity of Four Seasons Valley." Xia Yuqing clenched her fist.
" That technique should be ours. However, look at those bastards. How dare they to flaunt our techniques before us?"
Long Ming could feel Xia Yuqing trembling with rage. Other than rage, he could also feel the helplessness in her eyes.
After all, imagine the shame of seeing one of your best treasures being flaunted and used against yourself by their enemies.
" However, That technique isn't totally perfect either, Master." Long Ming spoke in a light voice. " Can you see the aura of spring from Shu Changyan? It's much weaker than the other three seasons."
" It looks like they only had an incomplete technique." Long Ming spoke in a thoughtful voice. " They seemed to patch the techniques throughout the years, but it's still not enough."
" Hehe, Although he managed to cultivate the physique till Minor Completion, It will be impossible for him to reach the Perfection stage."
" And perhaps for that reason, They wanted to get the Returning Spring Flowing Art from us."
" That… That's possible." Xia Yuqing was startled when she heard Long Ming's reasoning.
She didn't see the flaw of Shu Changyan's physique at first. However, after hearing Long Ming, she could see the faint disruption behind Shu Changyan's body.
Shu Changyan's body was covered with four different colors of qi, each creating the phenomenon of a different season. Summer, Autumn, Winter, and Spring, all four seasons appeared behind him like a mirage, supplying him with the energy of Heaven and Earth.
His Harmonization Realm power exploded as he tried to trap Mu Qinglian.
" Four Seasons Great Domain!"
Shu Changyan shouted as the aura of the four seasons around him erupted, covering Mu Qinglian in it.
It created a domain, divided into four parts. Mu Qinglian was startled as she could feel the attack of the intense heat of summer.
" Destructive Autumn!"
Seeing Mu Qinglian defending against the heatwave, Shu Changyan used his next move. The wind rose as it created a storm of dust and pebbles. It was like sucking away all the aura of the surroundings, then the sharp wind trying to destroy it.
" Hmph! How dare you to use our sect technique against me?!" Mu Qinglian snorted as her Frozen Flower Sword shone with an icy blue ray.
" Desolate Winter Sword Art! Frozen Field of Desolation!"
The frozen wings of Mu Qinglian shone with a bright ray as it fused with her Frozen Flower Sword. With a single slash, an icy breath spread across the stage.
" Winter Domain!"
Shu Changyan saw his body was getting covered with a layer of ice. To defend against that, he chose to use the winter power of the Four Seasons Heavenly Physiques.
The opposing forces of cold collided with each other. The mist spread across the field as both retreated.
" Give up!" Shu Changyan laughed. " My Four Seasons Heavenly Physique can counter all techniques of Four Seasons Valley. It's only a matter of time before I defeat you."
" Hmph, Arrogant!" Mu Qinglian clenched her sword as a mocking smile appeared on her lips. " You think I can't defeat you?"
" Blood Phoenix Burst!"
Suddenly, a crimson aura covered Mu Qinglian as her aura soared. The wings around her multiplied as she looked like a war angel.
The Frozen Flower Sword turned into a gigantic icy shard, with sharp edges glistened around it. However, a blaze of golden flames rose, covering the icy shard with a gale wind.
" Wh-What's that?"
" Look! She is already using the treasure spirit of that Royal Grade weapon! It means she can draw out more than 50% power of that sword."
The Royal Grade Swords are in fact treasures that could be only fully utilized by Ancient Lord Realm Cultivators. However, cultivators of the lower realms can still draw out if they meet certain quotas of true qi, comprehension bloodline etc.
The power brought forth by Mu Qinglian was enough to kill a Peak stage Harmonization Realm cultivator.
However, Long Ming could see that Mu Qinglian also exhausted her true qi and stamina in that process. After all, she certainly felt a burden to use such a powerful treasure like that.
" To think she fused the Intent of Four Seasons in her attack like that." Xia Yuqing mumbled. " This child, when did she grow so much?"
" Four Seasons Domain! Shield!"
Shu Gongyan pushed his Minor Completion Physique to the limits as a four colored dome appeared around him, creating a powerful shield.
*BOOM BOOM*
Like a heavenly pike falling from the sky, Mu Qinglian's sword pierced through the shield of Shu Gongyan like a paper.
*SHIIINGGGGG!*
" I won't let you go either!" Shu Gongyan let out an unwilling roar as he pulled out a black colored talisman.
" Damn it! Is that Forbidden Life Extinguishing Talisman?" Xia Yuqing's expression changed as she tried to jump and rush towards the stage.
However, at that moment, The Grand Elder of Sky Martial Tower appeared right before Xia Yuqing.
" Sect Master Xia, You shouldn't interfere in another match again." He snorted as he raised his hands, blocking her entirely.
" Get out of my way!" Xia Yuqing didn't bothered as her aura shifted.
The atmosphere changed instantly as Xia Yuqing used his Nine Transformations of Soul Realm power.
Zheng Li was surprised when he realized Xia Yuqing's strength increased again. However, a hint of jealous appeared as he waved his hands, creating an aura blast.
' Anyway, I just needed to block her for a moment…'
The Forbidden Life Extinguishing Talisman erupted with a dark light as it devoured the true qi and blood essence from his body.
Thick black chains shot out from the talisman as it gained its power from Shu Changyan. However, the black chains covered with a vicious aura now shot at Mu Qinglian.
A sense of dread appeared in Mu Qinglian's attack as she raised her sword, making a field of snow appear before her.
The icy pillars stood erect, trying to block the dark chains. However the dark chains contained a strange corrosive power, which melted the pillars of ice instantly.
' Damn it! That bastard dared to use such a treasure! He wanted to kill me!' Mu Qinglian clenched her fist as she poured all power of her Blood Phoenix Sacred Body into her sword.
" Four Seasons Grand Swordsplay! Interchanging of Four Seasons!"
*BOOM BOOM BOOM!"
Her sword slashes turned from one form to another to another, as the Frozen Winter Sword struck the black chains.
Although she managed to cut a few chains,?the remaining chains dispersed, attacking her from different angles. They suddenly increased in strength as they tried trap?Mu Qinglian with a malevolent aura.
Suddenly, the chains condensed into a giant dark claw, which shot towards her without any mercy.
" Senior Sister! Use my treasure!" Long Ming saw Xia Yuqing was being obstructed by Zheng Li, so he shouted on the top of his lungs.
Mu QInglian's eyes shone as a light smile appeared on her face.
" Thank you, Long Ming."
The crowd looked at the stage with bated eyes as the battle between Mu Qinglian and Shu Gongyan reached its peak.
" The Forbidden Life Extinguishing Talisman is very hard to create. Perhaps only a Rune Emperor can craft one."
" It will devour the strength and blood of use to activate it. However, it can exert the power of a Nine Transformation Realm cultivator or more instantly."
" I wonder what's Mu Qinglian going to defend against that?"
Xia Yuqing's expression turned dark as she looked at Zheng Li. " Zheng Li, Get out of my way!"
" Well, You can ask her to surrender. Or wait, neither of you can." Zheng Li grinned as he kept Xia Yuqing blocked.
However, at that moment, the crowd's expression changed as when they saw Mu Qinglian taking out a strange orb.
The Emperor of Holy Qilin, along with the Imperial Family members, all became shocked when they saw the orb in Mu Qinglian's hand.
Her Blood Phoenix Sacred Body erupted with brilliance as the orb shone before her with a holy light.
An image of a qilin's arm appeared, covered with red and blue scales.
" Th-That's! That's the Holy Spring Pearl of Imperial Qin Family!"
" Impossible! How could she have that treasure?!"
Mu Qinglian felt her body drained out of all power. However, the qilin arm swung, crushing the dark claw completely,
The explosive power was great, making both Mu Qinglian and Shu Changyan knock off from the stage, However, before she fell, Mu Qinglian directed the remaining power towards Shu Changyan.
" NOOOO!!!"
Shu Changyan screamed when he saw the pillar of holy energy descend on him.
" DAMN! STOP!"
Zheng Li's expression changed as he tried to rush. But the tables have turned and this time, Xia Yuqing stopped him.
" What is it, Elder Zheng?" Xia Yuqing snorted.
" You shouldn't interfere with the match at all."
