Chapter 22: Capturing Spring and Autumn with a Sword (2)
Translator: Sissy That Walk
On the fighting stage, Luo Jianqing touched the ground with his toes, calmly and easily he dealt with each attack given by Zuo Yunmo. He appeared to be very natural and unruffled. As Sir Xuan Lingzi said the night before, he didn’t lose face for Yu Xiao Peak. However, as Luo Jianqing swung sword upward again, Zuo Yunmo smiled in a low voice.
Luo Jianqing broadened his eyes, feeling not good in his heart. However, before he was able to step back, he heard that Zuo Yunmo said in a low voice, “Fellow elder brother, you were careless.”
As soon as he said this, a vast blue sky came floating on the fighting stage.
Hao Xingzi exclaimed in a low voice: “Yunmo has reached such a state?”
The sky was getting wider and wider, with the majestic domineering momentum that would spread the whole fighting stage. The mighty righteousness fell down from the sky. Originally Zuo Yunmo had lost a lot of spiritual force in the fighting a moment ago, but now he got all of it back. It could be seen that under the blue sky, he stood there with his clothes fluttering, while vast spiritual force was released on the Qing Yun Sword.
“The second formula of Qing Yang Sword formula, Qing Yun Sword!”
Hardly had Zuo Yunmo’s voice faded away, the sky actually fell to the body of Luo Jianqing .This offensive move agitated the boundary to tremble slightly, which made even Luo Jianqing narrow up his eyes and quickly pinch the hand formula, and Frost Floating Sword also excitedly came floating in front of him.
The imposing manner in the void stirred up a wave of qi on the fighting stage, even Luo Jianqing couldn’t help but step back for two steps to stabilize his body.
At that moment the sky was about to press down, the Frost Floating Sword suddenly turned into a Nine-handle Sword, which whirled to p.r.i.c.k into the void.
“One sword turns into nine lotuses!”
Suddenly a great ma.s.s of dark clouds came up in the sky, which covered the blue sky. The clouds were heavy, and the thick thunder came down, which followed the Frost Floating Sword to go away, and joined the Qing Yun Sword in mid-air.
For a moment, with thunder and lightning there, the sky and thunder made a collision!
Hao Xingzi hurriedly waved his sleeves to strengthen the boundary.
Seeing that a burst of smoke come up on the fighting stage, the ma.s.s nervously looked at it, only to find that the handsome fellow elder brother in white clothes, with blood at his fingertips, panting heavily, and in front of him, Zuo Yunmo, who was smiling a moment ago, spouted a big mouth of blood, and he staggered backward for more than ten steps. Fortunately, with the support of Qing Yun Sword, he did not fall down.
Luo Jianqing pinched his fingers where the blood flowed down, saying, “Fellow brother, please admit that you are defeated.”
Smiling, Zuo Yunmo raised his lip corners and muttered while seeing the youth in white in front of him with a gentle look, “How can I admit defeat in this way?”
As soon as he said this, a piece of void was seen to rise again. Luo Jianqing looked at the scene with horror and said in a rush: “My fellow younger brother, you will become spiritually exhausted. Is it necessary for you to do so? …”
“I will spare no effort, fellow elder brother. And … Didn’t you Jianqing say that we must go all in?”
Looking at the smile on Zuo Yunmo’s face, Luo Jianqing suddenly was shocked there.
Luo Jianqing looked up at the vast expanse of blue sky. With his eyes narrowed, suddenly, he had his five fingers pointed to the ground, and an invisible force came out of the palm of his hand. The force broke through the barrier for the fighting stage with irresistible vigor. In face of the Sirs of Ling Yun Hall, it just turned aside ashamedly, but in the face of those disciples, it just went directly through them.
This force was frantically seizing all the living creatures within a mile of the summit of Cang Shuang Peak.
Countless starlight that ordinary people could not see flew up from the sky and gathered to the body of Luo Jianqing. These forces with the arrogance of the stars flew away in front of the eyes of Hao Xingizi, though the latter was completely unaware of it. Sir Hao Xingzi was still holding his breath to look at the scene on the fighting stage.
The next moment! Luo Jianqing’s breath began to increase, 10 percent, 20 percent, 30percent … When he returned to his prime, the surged breath did not stop there, but continued to pile up in a crazy way!
The elder transcending tribulation of Duan Hun Sect was amazed, so he asked, “What Kongfu is this?”
Hao Xingzi tightened his eyebrows and said, “What Jianqing practiced is the supreme Kongfu of Tai Hua Mountain, True Nine-Petaled Lotus Record.”
The ma.s.s immediately understood, “It was the True Nine-Petaled Lotus Record as heard before”, no wonder it was so wonderful!”
Luo Jianqing had his palm hit the ground, and a handprint of as long as ten meters appeared on the fighting stage.
“Capture spring and autumn!”
“One sword turns nine-pedaled lotus!”
Luo Jianqing’s sword turned into a green lotus that quickly stabbed into the sky.
Bang! Bang! Bang!
Bright dazzling sword light pierced the sky, toughly piercing the blue sky into countless fragments. That momentum thundered up, hitting the boundary beside the fighting stage. Everything was completely transformed in the blink of an eye. The boundary suddenly broke, and the vast sword qi went directly towards the audience.
Hao Xingzi narrowed his eyes, stomped on the ground, thus the boundary appeared again outside the fighting stage, which stopped the spread of the sword qi.
After the loud rumble, on the fighting stage, Luo Jianqing showed a pale face, while Zuo Yunmo had flied out in an inverted way. He pa.s.sed out completely, covered with blood all over his body.
Luo Jianqing immediately came forward to see, and the fellow younger sister also hurriedly took elixirs to feed into the mouth of Zuo Yunmo. In a moment, the people of Qing Lan Peak carried Zuo Yunmo out.
Silence reigned the ground.
The disciples from other sects and Tai Hua Mountain looked at the friar in white clothes with horrified eyes.
After a long time, judge elder shouted like waking up from a dream, “The Golden Core Period winner is Luo Jianqing, who is in the middle stage of Golden Core Period!”
In one day, the final result of the big compet.i.tion among various sects was spread all over Tai Hua Mountain. When the elders of other sects took their disciples away, there were still many foreign disciples looking at the elegant and handsome fellow elder brother from Tai Hua Mountain with great care. They could not believe that such a good-looking man could actually weild such a terrible killing power.
Although Luo Jianqing also got some injuries, compared to Zuo Yunmo, his was only a small injury. After seeing all the guests off, he was asked by Sir Hao Xingzi to go to Ling Yun Hall, and was told to cultivate himself well, for in seven days they would go to the Liu Yan Valley.
Luo Jianqing said YES to Sir Hao Xingzi before he flew back to the Yu Xiao Peak.
This time, Xuan Lingzi did not continue to close his door for cultivation. He wore white clothes that were quite similar to Luo Jianqing’s. With a complex golden pattern embroidered at the sleeves, he had his both hands crossed with each other at his back. Standing at the edge of the cliff, he raised his hand to have a look at the sky.
Seeing this, Luo Jianqing was a little shocked. He said respectfully, “My master.”
Xuan Lingzi was still standing on the edge of the cliff. The wind whipped up his robe and made a sound of hunting.
Luo Jianqing just stood behind Xuan Lingzi. Without knowing how long it took before he heard an indifferent voice ringing out gently: “Jianqing, in the Kongfu compet.i.tion among various sects today, how did you hit your second fellow younger brother into serious injury?”
