Chapter 58 - Thunderclap VS"Hah!" Xiang Jinglei held his long spear and pointed it at the sky. With an explosive shout, energy gathered at his Dantian. In an instant, it was like a river bursting out, violently flooding his entire body!
"Chi chi chi!"
In an instant, from the top of Xiang Jinglei"s head onwards, countless arcs of silver lightning that were as thick as a pinky finger rained down in a dense torrent, enveloping his entire body from his head to his shoulders, then to his torso and legs!Enveloped by thunder and lightning, Xiang Jinglei held a long spear of thunder that shot into the sky. He looked like a G.o.d of thunder that had descended to the mortal world, exuding incomparable might!
Xiang Qian, who was standing opposite him, was not the least bit afraid upon seeing this. Instead, an unparalleled battle intent surged forth from his chest. The latter similarly raised the longsword in his hand high into the sky, letting out an explosive shout!"Whoosh!"
As if a wind blade had cut through the heavens, Xiang Qian"s body suddenly glowed with a golden light as his entire body was bathed in a golden radiance, to the point where he looked like a golden bronze man.
One golden and one silver. These two forces had reached their limits at this moment, causing the air around the arena to be compressed and rampaged, emitting a sharp, explosive sound!
Without saying anything, the two of them faced each other under the two colors of gold and silver. Like heavenly thunder and earthen fire, they instantly exploded!
The silver spear in Xiang Jinghong"s hand suddenly swept through the air. A silver streak of lightning crackled with a sizzling sound, slashing towards Xiang Gan like a galaxy!
"Humph!"Facing the slanted silver longspear, Xiang Gan snorted coldly. The golden longsword in his hand swept out as well, and a golden light flew out from the blade, colliding with the silver streak!
"Rumble!"
The collision of their attacks was shockingly powerful. It actually caused a cl.u.s.ter of hot light to burst out in the air between the two of them, and it immediately vanished into nothingness!
"Haha, again!" Xiang Jinglei laughed out loud. Suddenly, he grasped the middle of the long spear with both hands. His large hands alternated, his long spear instantly dancing like a dragon or a snake!In a split-second, the silver snakes danced wildly as the silver light on the spear broke through the air, flying towards Xiang Qian!
Xiang Qian, seeing this, did not hesitate at all. He brandished the golden sword in his hand, the golden long sword dancing in the air. Like a torrential torrent, it charged forward, striking the silver light!"Boom boom boom!"
In the blink of an eye, the light in the sky exploded in a concentrated manner and a series of explosive sounds resounded. A violent wind followed, blowing everyone"s bodies to the side until they were unsteady, their tables and chairs crooked!
If it weren"t for the fact that there were many other martial artists in the Apricot Altar Garden who had taken action and formed a protective screen against the raging winds, then the entire banquet would have probably been sent flying!
After the two clashed for a while, Xiang Jinglei"s spear suddenly came to a halt. He looked at Xiang Gan and said, "Your Highness, if we continue to test the waters, I"m afraid that even if we fight until morning, we won"t be able to determine the victor.
"That"s what I want!" Xiang Qian only said these four words!
In the next moment, both of them disappeared from where they were standing. Immediately, they saw two figures in the center of the stage intertwining with each other. A clanging sound like a clap of thunder resounded through the air!He saw Xiang Jinglei and Xiang Gan brandishing their long spears and swinging their golden swords. They were actually clashing head on against each other. Xiang Jinglei brandished his long spear, striking out with every swing, and the sound of thunder could be heard!
With the golden sword in his hand, Xiang Qian"s sword techniques were exquisite, his body was nimble, the golden sword danced in the air, and golden light shone brightly!
Xiang Jinglei"s spear flew out like a flying dragon, and Xiang Gan blocked it with his sword. He immediately turned his sword and thrusted straight with its tip, but the latter"s long spear was like a swimming dragon as it coiled around the sword"s body and instantly flew up.
The two fought back and forth. Their moves were mysterious and profound, and they moved as fast as lightning. The cultivation of the people present was not high, so they couldn"t even see how the two of them were going to attack. They could only feel a golden and a silver shadow entangling with each other.
As the spectators below the stage saw the two figures engaged in battle, all of them exclaimed out loud."As expected of the two geniuses of our Wind Cloud Country, they are truly powerful. At such an age, not only is their cultivation extraordinary, but their foundation is solid. Their comprehension of the two types of cloud energy, metal and thunder, is also extraordinary!"
"That"s right, in time, our Wind Cloud Country will have two more experts with extremely high cultivation, and they are also experts who specialize in offense!"
Even the county governor and General Wan Bing, who had high standards in the Spring Pavilion, were watching attentively and nodding repeatedly. It was obvious that they acknowledged the strength displayed by the duo.
Amongst everyone present, the one who was the most focused on the arena was the son of the previous year, Xiang Yun. At this moment, Xiang Yun"s entire being was focused on the battle on the arena, his heart trembling!If this was the past, he probably wouldn"t be able to clearly see the battle between these two. But now that he was also a martial artist from the Cloud Sky Sect and had gone through the purification of the Five Poison Wine, his senses were much sharper than that of an ordinary martial artist"s, allowing him to clearly see the movements of these two martial artists!
At this moment, he felt as if he was watching a 3D martial arts show. One of them was bathed in lightning, holding a long spear in his hand, the other was covered in a golden light as he brandished a long sword!
As the two fought each other, their moves were both elegant and swift. As they collided, they brought forth a dazzling radiance that was incomparably terrifying. Xiang Yun"s eyes widened as his heart surged!
"Too strong!" Can I be so powerful in the future? " He could not help but scream in his heart!
At this moment, the battle on the stage was still ongoing. The battle between the two had reached its climax, and the energy fluctuations of the silver spear had reached an extremely terrifying level. The silver light was extremely dazzling, and every spear shot out a terrifying bolt of silver lightning that struck Xiang Qian!At the same time, Xiang Qian was not to be outdone. As the golden longsword was brandished, countless fine golden spikes shot out like sharp steel needles. They were as dense as the rain, forcing the golden thunder to form an electric net to block the golden spikes!
As the battle continued, the two of them moved faster and faster and their moves became more and more dangerous. At this critical moment, the hearts of the spectators tightened and their eyes moved. They even forgot to breathe.Finally, after the hundred spear and sword clashed, the two of them stood behind each other, a small gap appearing in Xiang Qian"s sleeve that could not be seen!
The two of them moved further away and stopped a few dozen feet away. They turned around and looked at each other!
Ever since he lost to Xiang Lei in the previous battle, Xiang Qian had immediately entered the so-called third battalion of the Devil Camp as soon as he had returned to the Dragon City, receiving close to a year of inhumane training.
He had originally thought that his increase in strength was enough to defeat Xiang Jinglei. He had not expected that today"s battle would end with him losing half a move in a single move!
"Cousin is indeed as strong as ever. No matter how hard I try, I still can"t surpa.s.s you!" Xiang Qian"s voice was slightly low.
"Haha, brother, your strength is already very strong. Do you not know how strong we are in the future?" Xiang Jinglei said with a smile.
However, Xiang Qian shook his head. He stared at Xiang Lei, the golden light in his eyes not fading as he spoke in a low, solemn voice."Cousin, this battle is not over yet. I have not even revealed my trump card yet!" In order to defeat you, I"ve prepared for a long time! "
"Oh?" Xiang Jinglei let out a surprised sound. His gaze towards Xiang Qian was first frozen, before it turned into an excited expression!"Your highness, if you really have more powerful methods, then use them all. Let me experience them for myself!"
Xiang Jinglei licked his somewhat dry lips, excitement and strong fighting spirit bursting out from his eyes. As a madman who thirsted for battle, the stronger his opponent was, the more excited he became!
Seeing the fearless man covered in lightning, Xiang Qian"s eyes were filled with a strong will to fight!
In the next moment, the golden light around his body surged crazily as his aura surged out like a gushing tide. The powerful aura of a peak level Yellow Cloud warrior was released without reservation, causing cries of alarm to ring out from outside the arena!
Xiang Qian, on the other hand, did not hesitate at all. His pupils had already turned golden, but he suddenly closed his eyes. He held the longsword in his hand upright in front of him, the tip of the sword pointing towards the sky!
With Yun Li"s frenzied infusion of energy, the blade of the sword trembled slightly. At the tip of the golden sword, several blood-red threads appeared, revolving around the golden sword and extending downwards. The blood-red threads circled around the sword"s hilt, extending all the way to the sword"s hilt, and the entire golden sword seemed to be encircled by a b.l.o.o.d.y serpent!
"Buzz!"
In an instant, the longsword hummed as the blood-red light that was twined around it grew even brighter. An extremely dangerous aura spread out, causing everyone"s heart to freeze, and they all felt an inexplicable sense of fear!
Xiang Jinglei"s pupils constricted. He had clearly sensed that dangerous aura locking onto him! He could not help but quietly tighten his body and adjust his body to its peak state, ready to respond to the latter"s strange moves at any time!In the next moment, Xiang Qian, who had his eyes closed earlier, suddenly opened them. The latter"s golden eyes now had a blood-red sheen to them, causing him to feel demonic!
"Gengjin Devil Sword, First Sword!"Xiang Qian suddenly let out a low roar like that of a beast. In the next moment, the red light in his eyes flickered, and in an instant, the golden sword in front of him slashed down!
"Whoosh!"
The instant the longsword swung down, a golden and a blood-red sword ray pierced through the air, causing distorted ripples to appear in the air wherever it pa.s.sed!
"It"s a Profound Ranked Martial Technique!" Someone exclaimed!"What?! It"s a Profound Ranked Martial Technique!?" This … "This …" Everyone was shocked!
There were four levels of martial arts in the world, "Heaven, Earth, Profound, Yellow". Ordinary martial arts families would already have a huge collection of martial arts manuals if they had only one or two.
As for Profound Rank martial skills, if an ordinary large clan didn"t have a great opportunity, they would have to hide it well even if they did. Otherwise, once it was exposed, there was a possibility of their clan being exterminated.
However, as the Crown Prince of the Wind Cloud Country, it was not a rare feat for Xiang Qian to possess a Profound Ranked Martial Technique. What shocked the crowd was that not only did he cultivate to the peak Huang Yun Realm, but he had also mastered a Profound Ranked Martial Technique.
For a time, the crowd was worried about Xiang Jinglei. The terror of a Profound Rank martial skill was not something that a Yellow Rank martial skill could compare to. Could Xiang Jinglei withstand this attack?
At this moment, seeing the incoming sword ray, Xiang Jinglei"s pupils contracted as his eyes revealed a hint of shock. He never thought that Xiang Qian would actually be able to use a Profound Ranked Martial Technique!However, after a short period of shock, Xiang Jinglei"s eyes were once again covered by a burning will to fight. He just liked the feeling of facing a strong enemy, because only when he faced a strong enemy, would he be able to unleash his own strength!
"Come at me!"With a loud roar, the cloud energy inside his dantian gushed out like crazy. In an instant, the aura around his body surged up, reaching the peak of the Yellow Cloud Realm at the same time!
The lightning surrounding Xiang Jinglei"s body instantly grew from the thickness of a pinky to the thickness of a thumb, and the blazing silver brilliance instantly became even more dazzling!
Xiang Jinglei gripped the silver long spear with both hands. Thunder and lightning energy wildly poured into it, a powerful energy pouring into it and causing the long spear to emit waves of light humming. It was like the low roar of a thunder dragon!
