Chapter 128
Yuyan and Lu Qing were names that were a long time ago in the memories of the cultivators of the Feiyun state. Once again, they broke through the restraints of time and their memories became clear.
A few decades ago, when Lu Qing was still active, he had already become famous when he was at the foundation establishment stage. He used the raging fire technique and burned countless cultivators in the Feiyun state until they cried for their parents. After he was enlightened, he became even more unstoppable. His cultivation soared to the sky, and under the envious gazes of the cultivators of the Feiyun state, he became a golden core cultivator. He became a top cultivator that even the Qingfeng sect had to take seriously.
His most iconic feature was that Fire Dragon.
This was a very precious and Wondrous Item. It was originally just a Dragon-shaped jade pendant. He picked it up from a nameless cave in the Northern Ice Field when he participated in a battle of the northern border during his foundation building stage. At first, there was nothing special about it, but based on his instincts as a transmigrator, he felt that this item was extraordinary and had always carried it with him.
After that, he really did get something.
As his practice of the ‘infinite flame mantra’ became more profound, this piece of Dragon Jade gradually turned from milky white to fiery red. Then, Lu Qing also sensed that there was a soul in the Jade archive.
Dragon Soul.
He was overjoyed.
In the beginning, the Dragon Soul that he summoned was only the size of a small snake. As he nurtured it for decades, or even centuries, the Dragon Soul gradually grew stronger. When he was in the initial enlightenment stage, it was already able to provide him with great help in battle. After reaching Jindan stage, with his personality that didn’t know how to restrain himself, he rode the fire Dragon all day long.
Since then, Lu Qing had gradually become bound to the fire Dragon. He left behind legends everywhere and became a beautiful scene in the Feiyun state.
Looking at the flying Fire Dragon and Zhao zhengzha being burned into a pile of ashes by the dark red flames, how could they not know that Lu Qing, the old ancestor Lu, had made his move?
The mentality of the two sides was completely different.
The cultivators of the Lu clan cheered. With their morale boosted, they increased their speed and rushed down the mountain. However, the cultivators of the Zhao family hesitated and didn’t know what to do. if their old ancestor Zhao didn’t come out, their morale would have collapsed and they would have scattered.
When Zhao Zidan saw this Scene and Heard the words ‘old thief Zhao, come and accept your death’, his old face turned gloomy.
“You really didn’t die.”
“Old dog, you’re not dead yet, so how can I die?” Lu Qing, who had just been resurrected, felt that his entire body was filled with an endless amount of power. He did not expect that the feeling of being alive was so intoxicating.
Six hours, he only had six hours.
He decided not to waste any resources. He controlled the fire Dragon Soul and charged forward.
It had been 60 to 70 years since Lu Qing had gone into seclusion. It had also been a long time since he had been released. The Dragon Soul was equally excited.
However, it was born because of Lu Qing and was very obedient.
Under Lu Qing’s command, it quickly flew toward the coin. On the way, it opened its mouth and spat out a ball of intense fire.
It didn’t spray towards Zhao Zidan, but towards the cultivators of the Zhao clan at the foot of the mountain.
The power of the Dragon Soul was dependent on Lu Qing. Under his control, as long as he continued to supply spirit energy, the fire Dragon Soul would be like another golden core cultivator.
If this kind of golden core level large-scale fire attack really hit, then the cultivators of the Zhao family present would suffer heavy losses in an instant. Those who were touched by the fire, whether they were Qi refining cultivators or foundation building cultivators, would not be able to escape death.
Zhao Zidan was filled with endless hatred, but he was helpless and could only attack. A green light covered the Zhao clan cultivators ‘heads, blocking the Dragon Fire.
At the same time, a deep red flame suddenly rose from his body.
‘Extinguish the fire’!
At the instant the flames were ignited, a few greenish-brown wooden strips grew out from Zhao Zidan’s body. They left the surface of his body with dark red flames and were burned dry in the outside world.
As an Aurous core stage cultivator, Zhao Zidan was not that easy to kill.
However, the two exchanges in the blink of an eye had caused Zhao Zidan’s heart to sink to the bottom.
Lu Qing’s strength had not decreased at all compared to when he was at his peak!
Didn’t he come back from the South with serious injuries more than 60 years ago?
Back then, when the cultivators of the Zhao clan were worried that Lu Qing might not have died and attacked Yuyan mountain, he had secretly followed them. Even though he did not make a move because of his status as the Grand Supreme elder of the Qingfeng sect and he was worried that his reputation would be damaged, he had the idea of using Zhao zhengzui to force Lu Qing to come out.
In his opinion, even if Lu Qing did not die, he would at least be severely injured. Even if he was forced to come out of recuperate seclusion, he would definitely not be his match. At that time, he could use this opportunity to kill this old enemy.
In the end, Lu Qing did not come out even when Zhao zhengzha led his men to attack Yuyan mountain and almost killed all the people from the Lu clan.
Everyone said that Lu Qing was dead, but the Lu clan had suppressed the news and did not allow it to spread. The battle when the Zhao family attacked the mountain Gate had officially exposed the lies of the Lu family.
Zhao Zidan had also thought this way back then.
It was precisely because of this that Zhao Zidan did not appear when hai Sande’s initial enlightenment cultivators arrived at the scene and issued a ban to prevent the Zhao family from exterminating the Lu family.
Lu Qing was dead. What was so great about the small Lu clan?
However, from what he saw today, not only did Lu Qing not die, he did not even show any signs of injury.
And he himself was already old.
Zhao Zidan was now like a lamp without oil. The true essence of an Aurous core stage cultivator was still surging, but his life force was already close to being exhausted. Just now, he had only fought two rounds with Lu Qing. It could only be considered a warm-up, but he could already feel the weakness in his body.
However, Lu Qing, who was at his peak, was at the peak of his strength.
How could they fight this?
Zhao Zidan’s heart was filled with bitterness.
As he was thinking, he saw that Lu Qing was already not far away. A fiery-red Magic sword slashed towards Zhao Zidan.
Zhao Zidan also released his magic sword, displaying the ‘Azure Phoenix sword Scripture’.
This was his specialty.” As the Qingfeng sect’s ultimate technique, the blue Luan sword Sutra was a Supreme-grade cultivation technique that was unparalleled in the Feiyun state. This domineering sword cultivation technique was of the wood element. Zhao Zidan was a wood element cultivator, so he was suitable to cultivate this sword technique. He was also the person who had the best grasp of the ‘Azure Phoenix sword Scripture’ in the entire Qingfeng sect.
When he was at his peak, he was the strongest person in the Qingfeng sect. Even sect leader Kong Tong, who was at the eighth-stage golden core realm and two levels stronger than him, couldn’t beat him in a fight, as he had cultivated the ‘Blue Phoenix sword Scripture’ to perfection.
However, he no longer felt as comfortable when he used the Azure Dipper sword manual.
The fourth-Rank Magic sword,’maple-binding sword’, that was activated, carried a green glow. It managed to force Lu Qing’s fire sword back. However, Zhao Zidan felt the qi and blood in his chest churning.
Today, he would lose without a doubt.
...
He sighed and said, ” Lu Qing, I know that I’m going to die today. Thirty-five years ago, I didn’t kill all of your clansmen. Today, you can kill me, but can you spare the rest of the Zhao clansmen?”
“Then why did you come here today? If I don’t leave the mountain, will you let go of a person with the surname Lu? And now you still have the face to ask me to let go of your family?”
I’m begging you, Yingluo. Zhao Zidan squeezed out these three words through the gaps of his teeth.
“Hahahaha!” Lu Qing laughed so hard that he was about to cry. old dog, didn’t you say that you were strong all your life? There’s even a day where you’ll beg for mercy?”
“Is that okay?”
Lu Qing did not answer. He formed a hand seal, and the fire sword that had been sent flying earlier came back. It grew to 1000 feet long in an instant. With an aura that could split the sky, it slashed toward Zhao Zidan.
This action represented his answer.
Zhao Zidan could only once again forcefully activate the ‘Azure Dipper sword Scripture’.
“Don’t push me too far!” Zhao Zidan glared at him and said, ” if you promise me, I’ll kill myself and leave the Golden core behind. You can take it when the time comes. If you don’t agree, I’ll destroy my golden core and you’ll get nothing!”
The Golden core stage, the Golden core stage, what one sought was the Golden core that was formed in the dantian. It was the symbol of a cultivator reaching the second major stage, and also the source of power. The Golden core left behind by a golden core cultivator was very useful.
For example, cultivators at the ninth level of the initial enlightenment stage could borrow other people’s golden cores to refine an external elixir. Using the external elixir to comprehend and cultivate was of great help to cultivators at the ninth level of the initial enlightenment stage to truly break through to the Golden core stage.
...
Breaking through to Jindan didn’t necessarily need to rely on external elixir, but there was no doubt that it was the fastest and most successful way.
He had never heard of anyone selling Jindan in the outside world, so he didn’t know how to measure the price.
Now, Zhao Zidan knew that he would definitely die. He was using his golden core to negotiate with Lu Qing.
A golden core in exchange for the lives of a hundred Qi refining cultivators was definitely worth it.
However,
Lu Qing’s movements did not slow down at all. The 1000-feet-long flame sword slashed again and again. The sword technique that Lu Qing was using was not as good as the Supreme-grade ‘Azure Phoenix sword Scripture’. However, his surging dharmic powers were enough to suppress the old Zhao Zidan.
To be honest, back when he was still at his peak, he had sparred with Zhao Zidan a few times, but he had lost more than he won. On one hand, he estimated that the other party was a Grand Elder of the sect, so it was not appropriate for him to go all out in a life-and-death battle. On the other hand, this ‘Green Phoenix sword Sutra’ was too powerful.
However, the current Zhao Zidan could only unleash less than thirty percent of the Azure Dipper sword Scripture’s full power.
As they fought, Lu Qing even felt a little bored.
you’ve been in seclusion for more than sixty years. I thought that you could have a good fight when you came out. I didn’t expect, I didn’t expect that you, Zhao Zidan, would be so weak.
Upon hearing this, Zhao Zidan felt disgruntled and sorrowful.
He forcefully activated the ‘maple-binding sword’. A green glow flashed as he slashed at Lu Qing. The green light suddenly grew in size, and it actually had the style of his peak.
But that was all there was to it.
Lu Qing did not even Dodge. He activated his Dragon Soul and pounced forward. The intense Crimson Fire suddenly became even more majestic. Amidst the Dragon’s Roar, it completely drowned out the green radiance.
Zhao Zidan’s figure retreated quickly and dodged Lu Qing’s attack on the Dragon Soul.
He could avoid it, but the flying boat behind him could not.
The luxurious airship was crashed into by the Dragon Soul, and it was engulfed in flames.
With a violent explosion, the airboat exploded into a huge fireball in the air. Many fragments and broken parts flew in all directions and fell everywhere.
Within the ball of fire, a fire Dragon soared into the sky, with Zhao Zidan’s ‘maple binding sword’ still in its mouth.
Lu Qing, whose eyes were burning with fire, put his palms together. The 1000-foot-long flaming sword appeared in the air again and slashed toward Zhao Zidan.
With Lian Xin’s magic sword snatched away, Zhao Zidan’s soul was already shaken. Seeing the huge flaming sword coming at him again, he could only Dodge. However, at this moment, two dark red chains appeared out of nowhere and wrapped around the five-colored Lotus under his feet, holding him in place and making him unable to move.
Seeing that the huge flame sword was about to hit him, he could only forcibly activate the five-colored Lotus under his feet. This level four high-grade magic tool was the best piece of equipment he had. It was even stronger than the ‘maple binding sword’. Not only did it have the effect of rapid flight, but it could also be used as a defensive magic tool at a critical moment.
In an instant, a large green light scattered in front of him, forming a green curtain. As the huge flaming sword slashed down, the green curtain trembled. Behind it, Zhao Zidan finally could not hold it in any longer and vomited out a mouthful of blood, dyeing his pale beard and collar red.
“Do you really want both sides to suffer?” Zhao Zidan roared furiously.
I want your life, your golden core, and the lives of the hundred cultivators of your Zhao clan who dared to come here!
The fire Dragon roared, opened its mouth, and spat out a ball of intense flames at the green curtain that covered Half the Sky. It continued to spit, pouring out true Qi without any scruples, as if it wanted to burn through the green curtain in one breath.
At the same time, the true energy in Lu Qing’s body became extremely agitated. The 1000-foot flame sword that had just dissipated on the green screen once again took shape behind him. Then, a second and a third Suan ni appeared.
This was Lu Qing’s fighting style. He would release his true energy in a frenzy and suppress his opponent with his firepower in a frenzy. Once the fight started, unless his opponent was much stronger than him and could suppress him to the point where he could not even catch his breath, he would not give his opponent any chance to catch his breath. His fierce attacks would become more and more ferocious with each wave!
In the blink of an eye, nine flaming swords that were 1000 feet long formed behind him. Lu Qing smiled and said, ” “Didn’t you say you wanted to destroy your golden core? Try it, I’ll admit defeat if you can.”
After he finished speaking, he didn’t give them any more chances. The nine giant swords followed his will and formed a sword array, flying forward. Then, in a mysterious way, they continuously hacked at the green curtain.
‘Nine Ember godly sword formation’ was a move from the infinite fire control technique, which could be mastered at the initial enlightenment stage. However, in an ordinary ‘nine Ember godly sword formation’, each divine Sword of Fire was only the size of an ordinary magic sword. Even so, their power was already very powerful among techniques of the same level, not to mention the sword formation formed by nine 300-meter-long giant swords that seemed to be able to split the world.
Behind the green screen, Zhao Zidan only hesitated for a moment, and then he really did not have the chance to destroy his golden core.
