Chapter 1138: Chapter 1142: On the Verge

“I’ve never seen anyone so foolish!”

“Heh, he’s not foolish, he’s arrogant! He’s full of himself!”

“I’m speechless. A Qi Cultivation tenth-rank cultivator daring not to accept the concession of a Qi Cultivation twelfth-rank elder, unbelievable!”

“Perhaps he thinks he can defeat Senior Brother Yun.”

“This must be the coldest joke I’ve ever heard. A Qi Cultivation tenth-rank doesn’t even stand a chance in front of a twelfth-rank.”

“If he can defeat Senior Brother Yun, I’ll eat Little Black’s dung from last night!”

“Who’s Little Black?”

“The dog that Senior Brother Yun raises.”

“Haha! I’ll eat half too!”

…

All the disciples present were mocking Xia Liu.

In their eyes, Senior Brother Yun was invincible.

In the sect, only the Great Elder and Sect Master Lu Mu could potentially overpower Senior Brother Yun.

The other three elders, their cultivation is at Qi Cultivation thirteenth-rank.

Senior Brother Yun is at Qi Cultivation twelfth-rank, qualified to battle with a thirteenth-rank cultivator without defeat.

Xia Liu wanting to defeat Senior Brother Yun is nearly impossible.

“Since you insist, I have nothing more to say.”

Yun Hai smiled softly and shook his head; since Xia Liu wouldn’t accept, he was bound to witness a swift defeat.

“Eight Desolations Palm!”

One breath moves mountains and rivers, four breaths stir the cloud sky, the Eight Desolations shake the four fields!

The Eight Desolations Palm is a Low-Grade Spirit Technique of the Qingyun Sect.

Yet, it is one of the most violent Spirit Techniques.

When cultivated to the Transformed Boundary Realm, it can even crush Peak Middle Grade, or even Supreme Grade Spirit Techniques.

Yun Hai, a Qi Cultivation twelfth-rank cultivator, with his skillful Eight Desolations Palm, defeating Xia Liu would be more than adequate.

As Yun Hai condensed the seal, the Eight Desolations erupted, the four quarters quivered, the cloud sky violently unraveled.

An unmatched power surged forth, leaving everyone holding their breath in anticipation.

“It’s a strong force, but it lacks a certain spirituality.”

Xia Liu nodded, the Eight Desolations Palm was indeed impressive, but compared to Energy Depleted to Mystic Yellow, it lacked the power of agility.

With a hand reaching toward the sky, in an instant, the Spiritual Energy within the area began to surge and then converged towards Xia Liu.

“Energy Depleted to Mystic Yellow!”

Facing a Qi Cultivation twelfth-rank cultivator, Xia Liu, upon display, condensed the highest level of the Energy Depleted to Mystic Yellow martial art.

From the Dantian, Five Element Spiritual Energy burst forth in fury.

After shocking hundreds of meridians, bursting through the body’s limits, it gathered in the raised palm.

A solemn, grand, and terrifying aura rippled out.

Feeling such power, even Lu Mu and others were startled.

This Spirit Technique, its rank, is at least above Middle Grade!

The Spirit Techniques existing currently in the Huaxia Realm, for phone’s sake, are surely found in the Five Great Immortal Sects.

But Spirit Techniques above Middle Grade are rare even in the Five Great Immortal Sects.

Yet Xia Liu could display one.

It’s imaginable how immense the backing he had before entering Qingyun was.

Liu Hong also viewed Xia Liu with newfound respect; back when Xia Liu faced off against Ye Tiande, he was amazed by him.

Now, witnessing him battle across levels, it’s beyond just amazement.

He indeed has the capability!

Worthy of significant attention!

The might of Energy Depleted to Mystic Yellow shook the whole scene, and Yun Hai equally sensed unfavorable odds.

But the Eight Desolations Palm had already been completed, there was no turning back, he had to confront it directly!

Boom!

The vast Palm Strength surged forth, rocketing through the fields, its aura unstoppable.

Opposite, Xia Liu also pressed down his Palm Print.

The immense energy converged into a golden Great Handprint.

The palm lines upon it were clearly visible.

In an instant, the speed was such that the two Palm Strengths clashed.

The first strike between the two genius powerhouses, the Eight Desolations Palm fell into a disadvantage.

The breaking Great Handprint continued its assault, seemingly about to crush Yun Hai in one go.

Yun Hai was no ordinary Qi Cultivation three or four-level mediocre cultivator.

With his Qi Cultivation twelfth-rank, he had plenty of battle experience.

At the moment the Eight Desolations Palm shattered, the long sword hung on his back darted out.

Utilizing Qi to move the sword, Divine Imperial Sword.

The Sword Finger condensed, and the longsword carried a sharp aura, effortlessly shattering the Great Handprint.

Afterward, the longsword dashed forward, exuding a sense of aggression.

Seeing this, Xia Liu remained calm, raising his Sword Finger.

Swoosh, swoosh, swoosh!!!

In an instant, Fanghua, the desolate sword cry filled the entire domain.

A blazing Red Edge was strikingly born.

Red Edge whirled out, repelling Yun Hai’s longsword with a single blow.

Grasping the Flowing Fire Sword, the Fire Attribute Spirit Energy on Xia Liu erupted.

Blazing unseen Flame Energy enveloped the surroundings within miles.

“A Fire Attribute Spiritual Artifact!”

“Such powerful Flame Energy!”

“My heavens! Where was his sword hidden just now?”

“Wait! Could it be a Storage Container!”

“He actually possesses a Storage Container!”

After being astonished by the Spiritual Artifact, everyone took a moment to realize.

Xia Liu possessed a Storage Container!

He’s truly remarkable!

The Low-Rank Disciples were left speechless in awe.

Though the battle had just begun, its speed alone was admirable.

The wonder of the spectacle was unlike anything seen before.

“A young hero indeed, to own a Storage Container!”

“Great Elder, before entering Qingyun, what was this youth’s background?”

“To battle across levels from Qi Cultivation tenth-rank against twelfth-rank without defeat, surely before arriving at Qingyun, he must not be underestimated; this must be investigated.”

The three elders were all exclaiming in amazement.

Even as elders of the Qingyun Sect, they were not privileged to enjoy a Storage Container.

Yet, the young Xia Liu possessed one.

His background, imaginable!

However, having now become a Qingyun disciple, the three elders naturally had suspicions.

“There’s no need to doubt his identity; even Sage Qingjue of Shu Mountain protects him everywhere.”

Liu Hong said no more; the significance of Sage Qingjue, he trusted the three elders understood.

“Even Sage Qingjue of Shu Mountain protects!”

Upon hearing this answer, after a moment of astonishment, the three elders put their concerns to rest.

Sage Qingjue represents justice in the mortal world.

Unaffiliated with the Five Great Immortal Sects, not for cultivating to the peak.

A heart that cares for all living beings, after Qingjue is Mankind none!

This was the inscription of Sage Qingjue’s renown through the world.

From this, it’s easy to see Sage Qingjue’s influence in the Huaxia Realm.

Yet some self-opinionated individuals are not too friendly towards Sage Qingjue and even seek to eliminate him.

For his existence makes many things troublesome.

“Let’s stop overthinking, and enjoy this match; the excitement is just beginning!”

At this moment, on the grand plaza, under the blazing sun, only the flashes of clashing brilliances could be seen.

Both of their movement techniques were above top-tier.

Impossible to capture with the naked eye.

What the Low-Rank Disciples could witness was merely the brilliance from the clashes.

Ding!

A clear and loud sound emerged, on the plaza, one black and one white figure were each shaken back a hundred meters.

Yun Hai glanced at the longsword in his hand, then his face became covered with black lines.

This sword, close to a Spiritual Artifact, was covered in web-like cracks.

Crack!

As the Spirit Energy was withdrawn, the sword in Yun Hai’s hand immediately disintegrated, scattering fragments everywhere….
