Chapter 272 An Ultimate Battle
This chapter is updated by Novelfree.ml
No one could have described this duel.
There had never been two experts in the Spirit Wandering Profound Realm appearing at the same time in this world. Never had there been a duel between such experts either.
"What kind of duel is this going to be?" Tang Lian widened his eyes and exclaimed.
With their level of abilities, they could no longer make out the details of the duel between the two.
They initially thought that the battlefield would be this pavilion.
Later, they realised that the battlefield was the entire immortal island.
And now, they finally understood that the battlefield was the entire Heaven and Earth.
The two had already skimmed over the sea to continue their duel. Baili Dongjun’s every sword move caused the tides to surge a hundred zhang, while every time Mo Yi flicked his sleeves, a gigantic wave which covered the sky and poured over the earth would surge up behind him.
Baili Dongjun was shocked by the tide and he flew back to land on the top of the pavilion again. He wiped off the sweat on his forehead, tossed the Heart sword down, and it plunged into the ground at Lei Wujie’s feet. Lei Wujie picked up the Heart sword and saw that there were a few nicks on it. His heart ached for the sword. "It’s damaged so badly."
"Once you return to Beili, get old master Li to fix it up." Baili Dongjun reached out his hand again. "Spear, to me!"
The Silver Moon spear that was in Sikong Qianluo's hands suddenly flew into Baili Dongjun's hands. Baili Dongjun jumped and once again raised his spear to attack Mo Yi who had returned.
"No matter how many times you try, the result is the same." Mo Yi caught the tip of the Silver Moon spear between two fingers.
"Wind, rise!" Baili Dongjun yelled.
A violent wind surged.
Mo Yi frowned and pushed more power into his hand, forcing Baili Dongjun to retreat in midair.
"Wind, stop!" Baili Dongjun cried out again.
The violent gust of wind dissipated in an instant, all of it seized by that one spear move. Baili Dongjun swung the Silver Moon spear aggressively. Mo Yi sensed the danger in that gust of spear wind and hurriedly withdrew his fingers.
"That’s Father's Dragon’s Cry Gale!" Sikong Qianluo exclaimed.
"All martial arts under Heaven are in my hands. Even an immortal is beneath me," Baili Dongjun declared arrogantly.
This was the true Baili Dongjun. Not the middle-aged man who stroked his moustache lazily, nor the master wine brewer who spent his days in a drunken stupor and smelling of wine. He was the Baili Dongjun who strode into Diaolou Mansion alone and with the Seven Cups of Starry Night Wine, made a name for himself in Heavenly Revelations. He was the Baili Dongjun who got himself drunk before challenging the Tower of Ascension and climbing to the sixteenth floor in one go. He was the Baili Dongjun who defeated Ye Dingzhi with half a palm strike at the moment of crisis, thus saving Beili from calamity.
He was the youth who shouted out loud when he got drunk, that he was the only Baili Dongjun in the world. He was the Baili Dongjun who could use all wine, swords, sabres and spears without exception.
Mo Yi's pupils seemed to burn instantly, turning red hot, yet that demonic purple light still glowed within them.
That spear move pierced through his shoulder.
Blood gushed out.
He had not bled for many years, and had not known the sensation of pain for many years.
"You’re good. You’re very good!"
Mo Yi raised his right palm and pressed it down lightly. But, with that momentum, it was as if the true Daoist god was descending personally.
The entire island began to shake.
Heavenly Revelations, Directorate of Astronomy.
Four celestial masters stepped into the Sky Observatory, in a hurry to report something to the Director of Astrology Qi Tianchen. But, they realised that Qi Tianchen was already sitting there, quietly waiting for their arrival.
"Director, an aberration has appeared in the sky! An aberration in the sky!" One of the celestial masters said anxiously, "Director, please don’t just sit there. Go take a look!"
Qi Tianchen drank a cup of tea slowly. "I saw it."
"We have never observed such an aberration!" Another celestial master wiped the sweat from his forehead. "It was obviously evening, but suddenly the sun dimmed and the sky was full of stars. Such an event has never been recorded in the books."
"It has been recorded before. It was mentioned in the last chapter of the 《Ancient Scroll of Luo[1]》. The sky was filled with stars in the day, and the immortal arrived, destroying Heaven and extinguishing Earth," Qi Tianchen spoke mildly.
"The 《Ancient Scroll of Luo》? That's a false book," the previous celestial master exclaimed in surprise.
"Because it exposed a mystery known only to Heaven, it was labelled a false book." Qi Tianchen sighed. "We’re too late. Activate the array."
"Activate the array? What array?" The celestial master was puzzled.
"Dragon-Seeking array." Qi Tianchen stood up. "I'm going to see him."
"Director, you know the source of the aberration?" The celestial master was shocked. He thought of the white-haired man who quietly visited Qi Tianchen in the day. He knew very well the identity of the visitor. Did he come here because of this incident?
Qi Tianchen flicked his horsetail whisk. "Yes. I didn't expect to meet such an old friend again after so many years. To be honest, I'm a little apprehensive. Not even drinking tea can make me feel at ease."
The four celestial masters were flabbergasted. They knew that the situation was serious, but they didn't think it would be so serious that even the State Preceptor, Qi Tianchen, was so alarmed.
The Silver Moon spear spun in the air and landed in front of Sikong Qianluo. Sikong Qianluo pulled it out hurriedly and found that although the spear’s shaft was full of scratches and nicks, it didn’t break after all. She released a long sigh of relief.
"Are you still concerned about your spear? If shifu loses this fight, I’m afraid we’re all going to die here today." Tang Lian said bitterly. He had never felt so powerless as he did at this moment. There was simply no way for him to intervene in this duel.
Baili Dongjun floated in the air and sighed. "That’s why I said, whether it’s a sabre or a sword or a spear, they’re all so unreliable. In the end, I still have to rely on this pair of fists, every fist is a smackdown!"
Xiao Se took a few steps forward and yelled towards the sky, "First Citymaster!"
Baili Dongjun lowered his head. "Little prince, what is it?"
"Catch." Xiao Se grabbed the long staff at his waist and hurled it into the sky.
Ever since he entered the martial world with Lei Wujie, Xiao Se had never shown much admiration for anyone. Even when he met Spear Immortal Sikong Changfeng, Confucian Sword Immortal Xie Xuan, and other such martial experts, he was simply a little more respectful. But in his mind, Baili Dongjun was different.
Because Baili Dongjun was Langya Prince Xiao Ruofeng’s sworn brother[2].
So he was willing to lend him the one thing that was most precious to him.
A staff was not a sword, nor a spear. If it was broken, it was really broken.
Baili Dongjun reached out and caught the Wuji staff. The staff was extremely long, and at the tip of the staff was a piece of jade that glowed with a blood-red light. The surface of the staff was carved full of talisman seals, as if they were needed to suppress the demons hidden inside the staff. Baili Dongjun stroked it gently. "This is the Wuji staff. The weapon used by Baihu Guardian Ji Ruofeng."
Mo Yi also stopped, looking at it as he murmured, "Wuji staff?"
He naturally remembered the Wuji staff, which was the treasure of Huanglong Mountain in the past. If he had not left Beili at the time, the Wuji staff would have been passed on to him.
"Do you recognize it?" Baili Dongjun asked curiously.
Mo Yi frowned slightly and nodded. "Yes, I recognize it."
"Then, do you still recognize its staff technique?" Baili Dongjun raised the long staff and slammed it down at Mo Yi.
The long staff seemed to explode into a flower in midair.
One staff flower, two staff flowers, three staff flowers!
Flashed into ten flowers, a hundred flowers.
Thousands and tens of thousands!
Once the staff came out, it was limitless, boundless, endless.
First Wuji staff!
