As the Universe Turns - Chapter 49

Chapter 49 Jing Zhe
Half an incense stick later, twelve people from both sides came up to the stage. The final contest for the championship was not the traditional one-on-one contest, but the contest between six people from both sides. Apart from their personal strength, they also had to cooperate with each other tacitly. In this aspect, Cangfeng Valley was obviously superior to the Xuan Qing disciples who were usually on the seven peaks.

Seeing the twelve people on the stage, Elder Qianyuan, who was at the east end of the stage, drew his finger and a profound light immediately covered the entire stage. Now, no one could interfere in the battle on the stage.

“Dong–”

As the sound of a bell rang out, The twelve immediately unfolded their bodies. They used their profound arts to attack each other. In an instant, the entire arena was filled with strong winds. The divine abilities in their hands were endless, and dazzling profound lights shot straight into the sky. Even with the barrier blocking them, the people outside could still feel the intense Spiritual Energy fluctuations on the arena. They didn’t expect that the twelve of them would be in such a fierce battle at the beginning.

On Xuanqing Sect’s side, Xia Guyun and Leng Qianxue were the main attackers. Ye Huaiyou and Shen Yu swam left and right, while Lou Qingshan was casting spells in the back formation. Just as Ni Shang wanted to go to Leng Qianxue’s side, he was stopped by Liu Chengfeng, “Your opponent should be me.”

“Hmph, is that so?”

Ni Chang snorted coldly. In the eyes of others, Liu Chengfeng might be Cangfeng Valley’s heavenly pride, but in her eyes, he was nothing more than a prince. After she finished speaking, she condensed her finger and drew three water pillars towards Liu Chengfeng. The three water pillars that looked ordinary were actually the “weak water 3000” of the Tianxuan bloodline, invincible and invincible.

“Bang! Bang! Bang!”

With three sharp sounds, Liu Chengfeng instantly activated the Frost Descending Sword. Cold Qi permeated the entire arena, causing the entire arena to feel as if it had entered a cold winter. Even those who were far away from the arena felt waves of cold intent invade. The three pillars of water that Ni Shang had condensed earlier were undoubtedly frozen into ice in an instant.

“From the looks of it, the descent of frost coincides with your Heavenly Jade Peak’s Dao Art.”

Liu Chengfeng smiled coldly. With the help of the sword qi, the three ice pillars immediately shattered into ice fragments. However, Ni Shang did not seem to be in a mess. He said coldly, “How can you understand all the dao techniques in the world, the Heavenly Jade bloodline’s dao techniques? It’s ridiculous that Xia Chong speaks of ice to peek at the heavens.”

As soon as she finished speaking, her ten fingers formed a seal, and a few blue streams of water suddenly circled around her body, blocking the layer upon layer of frost. Then, she flicked her sleeve, causing her entire body to disappear in an instant. In the next instant, shadows surrounded Liu Chengfeng, completely unable to distinguish which of them was her real body.

“Shangshan Ruoshui!”

Many people below the stage cried out in shock. This was Exalted Moon Brow’s Shangshan Ruoshui. Shuishan was beneficial to all things without contention. Poria was also stunned in the distance. She did not expect that Junior Sister Nishang had only entered the sect for six years, but her attainments in dao techniques had already far surpassed her. She was even comparable to Senior Sister Qianxue.

Looking at Liu Chengfeng, Although he had fallen into a passive state, However, his expression remained calm. He turned his sword sharply, He placed the sword on his chest and slashed his right fingers along the edge of the sword. Layers of frost energy immediately emerged from the sword and formed a layer of frost around his body. It spun and expanded like a blizzard. In just a moment, a layer of frost enveloped the entire arena. Even some people who were slightly nearer to the arena had thick ice crystals condensed on their foreheads.

Under such a cold and frosty cyclone, not only did Ni Shang’s speed slow down, even Leng Qianxue, Xia Guyun and the others in the distance slowed down as well. Everyone below the stage held their breaths. As expected of the Frost Descent of one of Cangfeng Valley’s Four Great Swords!

In the distance, The three old men of Cangfeng Valley couldn’t help but nod. One day, Old man Zi Yi, and two others had expressions of approval in their eyes. Although the frost had fallen, Liu Chengfeng would never have been able to display the might of a famous sword without all his abilities and talents. They were naturally very satisfied that he could restrain this talented girl.

“Zheng! Zheng! Zheng!”

Suddenly, three sharp sounds came from the stage. Liu Chengfeng had already identified Nichang’s true body and thrust out three consecutive swords. His moves were extremely fierce. If it wasn’t for Nichang’s lightweight posture, ordinary people would never have been able to avoid such a fierce sword move.

Outside the plaza, Yichen was sitting on a pine tree. He thought to himself, Junior Sister’s abilities were not low. She was definitely not below Liu Chengfeng. She only lacked a handy weapon. If she wanted to cultivate the Weak Water Three Thousand on the Moon Sovereign to the extreme, then she was destined to be unable to cultivate an ordinary immortal sword like everyone else. What kind of immortal sword would be suitable for her?

Half an incense stick had passed, and the fighting on the stage was getting more and more intense. Under the restraint of the Frost Descending Sword, Nichang was unable to do his best. Yichen couldn’t help but frown. He thought to himself that as long as Junior Sister had an immortal sword in her hand, she would never be forced to retreat step by step by Liu Chengfeng.

Clang!

With a sharp sound, Liu Chengfeng suddenly attacked Nichang. In the next instant, he activated all of his True Essence and unexpectedly attacked her with the help of the Frost Descent.

“Boom!”

The entire arena trembled slightly. Under the impact of such a terrifying force, even though Nichang’s cultivation was so deep that she was sent flying backwards, her figure was not in chaos. Her feet sped to the ground, forcing her to stop. However, she was unable to stop for a moment.

In the distance, Leng Qianxue was about to pull her back, but Liu Chengfeng seemed to have expected that with a movement of his body, he would instantly move over to block Leng Qianxue’s palm force. With the help of the recoil force, he suddenly attacked Nichang again. This time, he had used up all of his strength, and there was a strong sense of “perishing together” in it.

“What is he doing!”

Many people cried out in alarm. Even the expressions of Cangfeng Valley’s elders changed slightly. Could it be that he was actually going to … outside the distant plaza, Yi Chen could see some clues and immediately thought that this Liu Chengfeng was not a good thing!

Facing the storm of sword qi, Before Nichang could stabilize his body, he activated his profound strength again. “Boom!” A loud explosion rang out. The next moment, the two of them flew out of the arena at the same time. Nichang slapped his palm on the ground, wanting to take advantage of the situation to return. Unexpectedly, they were firmly suppressed by Liu Chengfeng. Finally, under everyone’s focused gaze, the two of them touched the ground at the same time.

“You!”

A cold chill gradually appeared on Nichang’s face. It turned out that Liu Chengfeng had purposely forced her out of power at the expense of himself. These were all discussed by the six of them last night. Cangfeng Valley was too much of a threat to them. Once they merged with Leng Qianxue’s two swords, it would be extremely difficult to deal with. Therefore, in the end, it was decided to sacrifice Nichang. Only his Frost Surrender Sword could force her out of power.

“Junior Sister, I accept.”

Liu Chengfeng put away his sword and said indifferently. Nichang was unconvinced and glared at him, “What did you promise? It’s not like you won!”

“Heh …”

Liu Chengfeng only smiled faintly and went to Cangfeng Valley’s side. Many people nearby began to discuss, sacrificing one of their own and eliminating the other’s threat. This was originally a winning strategy.

There were still ten people left on the stage. On the surface, they seemed to be on par with each other, but in reality, it was extremely disadvantageous to Xuanqing Sect. Now, Leng Qianxue did not even have the only person who could cooperate. As the main attack, her sharpness greatly decreased. On the Cangfeng Valley side, although there was a Liu Chengfeng missing, the remaining five people were definitely not ordinary.

Finally, after fighting for an incense stick, Ye Huaiyou, Shen Yu, Lou Qingshan, and the others were eliminated one after another. In the end, even Leng Qianxue was eliminated. Now, only Xia Guyun was left, and Ye Runian was left on the opposite side.

Everyone held their breaths. Without a doubt, this martial meeting was the most exciting one since Fairy Miaoyin. At this moment, not a single person in the vast square was distracted. They all held their breaths and focused on the last two people on the stage. The outcome was finally about to be determined.

“Zheng!”

With a roar of the sword, Xia Guyun raised a three-foot long sword. The white light on the sword was the immortal sword that he cultivated, Lonemoon. The entire sword came and went like the wind, broken gold and broken stones, incomparably sharp.

At this moment, everyone held their breaths and concentrated. The outcome of Xuanqing Sect and Cangfeng Valley was between the two of them. Just as everyone was watching, thunder suddenly sounded from the clouds above the arena.

“Rumble …”

The sound of thunder gradually became clear, and the dust on the ground trembled. It was as if even the entire arena trembled slightly with the sound of thunder. Everyone below the arena also became faintly uneasy. What was that? In the sky above the arena, the originally clear sky suddenly gathered a large amount of thunderclouds.

The expressions of the elders in Cangfeng Valley also changed slightly. Could it be …

Sure enough, Ye Runian waved his hands and a bolt of purple lightning suddenly descended from the thunderclouds. It instantly transformed into a purple immortal sword. However, seeing the purple lightning wrapped around the sword, it was quite astonishing. At this moment, many people cried out in shock, “Awakening! Awakening!”

Jing Zhe, the head of Cangfeng Valley’s four famous swords, released a shocking wind and clouds, and the sword fell with lightning!

The four famous swords of Cangfeng Valley were all named after the Twenty-Four Solar Terms. They were hibernating in February, raining in March, cold dew in September, and frost in October! Among them, Jing Zhe was the leader, and the other three swords were “Gu Yu”, “Han Du”, and “Frost Descending”.

The world only knew that Cangfeng Valley had countless hidden swords, and the four great swords were the leaders. However, they did not know that Cangfeng Valley actually had an ancient sword left behind by Ancestor Cangfeng Valley back then. It had always been hidden deep in the valley, and even the Valley Master would not dare to use it easily.

At this moment, the purple lightning on the sword burst forth. If the Nine Heavens Profound Bomb landed, even the strongest enemy would be annihilated. Everyone couldn’t help but suck in a breath of cold air. No wonder Cangfeng Valley was so fearless this time. He even brought such a divine sword! Moreover, if he wanted to use such a divine sword, Ye Runian would probably have already reached the realm of God Refining and Void Returning, and had been hiding his strength!

In the distance, the faces of the Xuanqing Sect Elders all turned pale. How terrifying was the Awakening Insect? Even though Xia Guyun had reached the Void Refining Realm, how could his Lonely Cloud Sword withstand the Awakening Hibernation? Could it be that Xuanqing Sect was really running out of energy? There’s no chance this time.

“Draw your sword.”

Even though he knew that he would lose, Xia Guyun’s eyes were still firm and he knew that he would lose the battle, but he had no reason to retreat. He was a disciple of Venerable Li Yuan.

“Zheng!”

A sword howl rang out. Ye Runian’s Imperial Sword slashed towards him. The entire arena seemed to be instantly enveloped in a layer of purple lightning. Xia Guyun hurriedly raised his Immortal Sword to block it. With a “clang”, the Lonemoon Sword in his hand collided with Jing Zhe. Obviously, it was unbeatable, causing him to continuously retreat.

On the pine tree outside the wall in the distance, Yi Chen couldn’t help but feel curious. Who was more powerful, this person’s Alarming Insect or Master’s Heavenly Heavens? At this moment, he suddenly felt the immortal sword on his body let out a faint sword cry.
