Free Web NovelChapter 1397: Chapter 1496: Relaxed and Carefree
Ji Ziya could kill her opponent by herself, so they abided by the three-year agreement and only watched. But if Ji Qiya lost, they would definitely ignore justice and moral principles and join the fight.
On the battlefield, Ji Ziya had fully adapted to the immense power of True Essence Level 7. She held a purple crystal longsword in her hand; the clear ringing of the sword sounded almost light on the field.
At the tip of the blade, the Ice Blue Sword’s aura spat lightly and drew back, pointing at Qin Feng in the distance. In the next moment, a gust of wind swept across the sky.
Qin Feng gazed at Ji Ziya opposite him. His aura stopped rising; he pursed his lips slightly and muttered, "So this is the Divine Charm of Zhenyuan, Level 7?"
Suddenly, a powerful pressure erupted. Qin Feng’s power was climbing.
True Essence, third layer; True Essence, fourth layer; True Essence, fifth layer...
The violent surge rampaged, intoxicating to behold. It did not stop until a force no weaker than Ji Gong’s was released in full.
Outside the battlefield, Xiao Qingshan and the other Buddhist Sect Grandmasters were all shaken by Qin Fengbao’s might. After half a moment, he gradually regained his composure, glanced around at the others. Disbelief filled every face.
That Ji Ziya had already reached cultivation of Virtual Meta Level 8 at the age of twenty was astonishing enough. Yet this boy before them, who seemed even younger than Ji Ziya, by relying on his own strength alone was not inferior to True Essence Level 6, perhaps even Level 7 Martial Arts. What was this? This was terrifying!
"Sect Leader, this..." Fu Sect’s Six Elders, Wu Yuan, frowned and muttered.
"Watch first." Xiao Qingshan’s expression didn’t change much. He waved his hand lightly, pressing down the worries of the other elders. Staring at the thin youth in the arena, he said slowly, "Although his Physical Strength exceeded my expectations, compared to Ji Gong’s usage there is still a gap. We’re not yet certain what will happen."
His "watch calmly" gaze remained fixed on the scene. Xiao Qingshan’s face was calm, but his eyes kept twitching slightly, as if he had suddenly become excited.
On the field, Ji Ziya and Qin Feng stood far apart.
Qin Feng always looked indifferent and detached; whether before or after Ji Ziya unleashed her Divine Charm, he remained the same. He had been through too many grand occasions, always firm and composed.
Ji Ziya was deeply shaken, especially by how calm her opponent appeared; it filled her hard-won confidence with doubt.
Ji Ziya took a deep breath and gripped the Purple Crystal Sword tightly. This time she stopped talking nonsense. Sword trembling, the blade rang out loud and clear. With the sword’s cry, a powerful spiritual power surged forth like a river through her meridians. Ji Ziya’s eyes lifted slightly, her body almost motionless. In the next instant, her toes flashed with light against the ground, and in front of everyone her figure turned into a streak of radiance, launching her first frontal charge at Qin Feng!
The distance between them was only a few dozen meters. For Ji Jia’s speed, that was but an instant. Her body flickered and she entered attack range. The sword shot out of its arc like a venomous snake, a biting gale splintering the Sword Gang’s energy as the blade snapped viciously toward Qin Feng’s chest, gnawing and tearing.
Staring at the approaching sword tip, his pupils kept contracting. Only when the blade was half a foot from his chest did Qin Feng finally move. With a light step, his body suddenly shifted half a meter to the left, dodging Ji Ziya’s ferocious strike.
Qi Ziya wasn’t surprised by Qin Feng’s evasion. Her jade-like palm moved swiftly. Five spiral swords formed from Water Power coalesced in an instant at her fingertips. With a low shout, the five sharp swords shot from between her fingers, twining together into a thin ice cord that let out a piercing whistle as it streaked toward Qin Feng like lightning.
The Swordsmen appeared before Qin Feng almost in the blink of an eye. The icy blue light quivered suddenly, and then the five spiral Swordsmen split from the center, each thrusting toward one of five vital points on Qin Feng’s body. The gale driven by the flying energy finally changed Qin Feng’s expression. free𝑤ebnovel.com
"Nice move!"
As his exclamation fell, Qin Feng’s entire figure turned ethereal. For a time, he seemed to merge into the Void, then flicker back into reality. In the midst of these bizarre transformations of his body technique, what had seemed like five Sword Gang strikes impossible to evade were all slipped past one by one.
"You—"
Seeing this, Ji Ziya was almost speechless.
This was one of her trump cards. Especially when the opponent didn’t know the move and had no defense prepared, there was simply no way—even a master of Zhenyuan 7th Level, or even Zhenyuan 8th Level—could block or dodge those five attacks in such a brief moment. She could kill them outright. Yet the body technique Qin Feng had just displayed was beyond imagination.
"Is my Void body technique not good enough?" Qin Feng smiled. "Then what would you call the best?"
"Hm?" Chico Aden’s expression changed. She suddenly realized that even after she had cast her Spell, her opponent had still only defended or evaded; he hadn’t attacked her at all.
"If you don’t have anything better, then I’ll start."
As the words fell, Qin Feng suddenly stamped a foot on the ground, his figure lunging forward like a streak of flowing light. Just as he was about to close in on Ji Qiya, that massive broken sword turned into a shadow and hacked down heavily.
"Hah!"
Facing Qin Feng’s sudden assault, Ji Ziya let out a crisp shout and immediately brought her sword up to meet his. The instant the two treasure swords of extraordinary make clashed, Ji Ziya felt a force far greater than her own surge down through the Purple Crystal longsword.
This power far exceeded Ji Qiya’s expectations. Shocked, she staggered back. But Qin Feng pressed after her relentlessly, sweeping his blade and pounding the ground with his feet.
Outside the battlefield, watching the two blurred figures flicker in and out across the arena, the surrounding Buddhist Sect Disciples all wore somewhat dazed expressions. In the earlier exchanges, they could clearly feel that Ji Ziya had already unleashed at least five skills at the Holy level and was fighting with everything she had. Yet even so, she was still at a clear disadvantage.
No one had expected that her opponent—a youth not yet twenty—would actually be as fearsome as those famous elders and big shots of the Fu Sect!
"I didn’t expect that even after Ji Ziya cast her spell, she still wouldn’t be his match." Fu Sect’s Six Elders, Old Wu, gasped in shock.
"Sect Leader, since the outcome is already decided, should we move now? The Old Man summoned us only as a contingency." The Seventh Elder also spoke in a low voice.
"Move now?" They all glanced sideways. frёewebηovel.cѳm
Although intervening in such a one-on-one duel was utterly beneath them and would damage the Fu Sect’s reputation, everyone watching this battle was a disciple of the Fu Sect. They desperately wanted to do this shameful thing, but as long as it wasn’t spread outside, they could live with it. Even so, for them to all charge in when the fight had already started made even Xiao Qingshan feel a bit shameless.
Shen Qianhe spoke again: "Given the current situation, Ji Ziya clearly cannot win. Since she’ll have to intervene sooner or later, I might as well go up now and kill that boy."
Xiao Qingshan nodded. Just as he was about to respond, he suddenly laughed and said, "No rush—watch."
Wu Yuan and Shen Qianhe immediately followed Xiao Qingshan’s gaze toward the battle circle; not only them, but all the Fu Sect Disciples watching from the sidelines were drawn to the two figures within.
They saw the situation reverse in an instant.
Originally it had been Qi Ziya’s Qin Feng under a mad storm of attacks, completely suppressed, yet now her breathing had become wildly unstable and her body was trembling violently.
"Not dead?" Ji Ziya stared at Qin Feng, her face full of disbelief.
She had always been proud, always wanting to compete with Qin Feng. So she hadn’t activated the Blood Demon Curse. But after being struck by Qin Feng at least fifteen times, her injuries had already reached a critical level. She had to admit she had lost; no matter how she looked at it, she was not as good as Qin Feng.
