Chapter 663 - 601: Zhenzhen’s Flying Sword
CHAPTER 663: CHAPTER 601: ZHENZHEN’S FLYING SWORD
Within the black Sword Qi, there was a thread of ominous and deep aura.
Zhang Yu felt the places the Sword Qi passed through, where even the originally active Spiritual Mechanism in the atmosphere seemed to enter a dormant state as this Sword Qi spread.
And just in the recent fierce battles, the Xuanming Return Ruins Technique unleashed by Kuang Tianqing, which was almost invincible and blocked nearly all attacks for her, now under the impact of the black Sword Qi, although it kept swallowing the black Sword Qi, it vaguely began to show signs of crumbling.
"Not just the Spiritual Mechanism, wherever the Sword Qi passed, even the Gang Qi and Mana began to show signs of disintegration..."
Zhang Yu was shocked: "Is this the true power of Extreme Emotion Sword Dao?"
"This power... is simply the best means of offense and defense."
"I can win!"
"This sword! It can break Kuang Tianqing’s Xuanming Return Ruins Technique!"
Seeing this, Zhang Yu’s heart stirred with excitement, secretly thinking his recent acting had not been in vain.
Earlier, amidst the entanglement with Kuang Tianqing, to help Bai Zhenzhen further push the power of the Extreme Emotion Sword Dao, Zhang Yu pretended to be insulted.
"As long as Azhen’s strength can advance further, even if I’m truly insulted, what does it matter?"
Zhang Yu sighed in his heart: "I suppose I’ve been influenced by Kunxu thinking?"
At the same time as he thought of this, Zhang Yu intensified all his military-level power, determined to lock Kuang Tianqing in front of him, not letting her dodge Bai Zhenzhen’s strike.
But just at this moment, a subtle awkward feeling surged in Zhang Yu’s heart, a slight sense of discord, as if he had overlooked something amiss.
"Why..."
Zhang Yu suddenly fixated on Kuang Tianqing before him.
He finally discovered the source of this discord.
Even though the Xuanming Return Ruins Technique in front was gradually collapsing, Kuang Tianqing showed no sign of surprise, tension, or shock.
Even the lewdness that filled her face just moments ago was gone.
At this moment, from Kuang Tianqing’s eyes, Zhang Yu could only see a calm abyss.
Just like an abyss so dark it had no bottom, even with the utmost effort, one could not see the end.
Watching this scene, Zhang Yu’s heart subconsciously sank, and a bad premonition arose: "Is there something we haven’t accounted for? Where did things go wrong?"
And the next moment, Kuang Tianqing said calmly: "After so long, finally broken through?"
"At least my efforts were not in vain."
"Thank you too, immortal scum."
Kuang Tianqing glanced at Zhang Yu like looking at a dead object, her face no longer carrying that madness and lust, as if everything before was just a facade, a dream.
In Zhang Yu’s shocked gaze, Kuang Tianqing suddenly withdrew the operating Xuanming Return Ruins Technique, looked towards the source of the black Sword Qi, and confidently said: "Bai Zhenzhen, now you are eligible to ascend from captive to become my sword."
"I will use you to defeat Tao Qiankun."
In Kuang Tianqing’s heart, she never focused on the wins and losses of this battle.
She didn’t even prioritize the rankings of Sky Demon University in the first team match.
The first goal in Kuang Tianqing’s mind was only one.
Claiming first place in the ten leagues!
Although her strength had soared, granting her a strong confidence of having seventy, eighty... even ninety percent certainty of defeating all opponents and becoming the strongest among the ten institutions.
But whether seventy percent or ninety percent, ultimately it is not one hundred percent certainty.
"What can be done?"
"What other methods are there?"
"To further advance my strength."
"To give me absolute certainty, allowing me to suppress all opponents completely and claim the championship of the ten leagues with absolute battle power?"
Until a month before the competition began, Kuang Tianqing continued to think, ponder, and search for answers.
And upon sensing the Extreme Emotion Sword Dao on Bai Zhenzhen, Kuang Tianqing discovered she had inspiration.
"Cultivators of Extreme Emotion Sword Dao are the best material for Flying Swords."
"But under normal circumstances, with Seven Emotions Divine Monarch’s protection, I can’t possibly acquire them."
"However, today, in this match, even Seven Emotions Divine Monarch cannot stop me."
"This is my best opportunity to obtain Bai Zhenzhen and refine her into a Flying Sword!"
"And with a Flying Sword refined from a master of the Extreme Emotion Sword Dao, no one on this stage can stop me."
"My success rate in claiming first place in the ten leagues will be... 100%!!"
Harboring this thought, upon entering the arena, Kuang Tianqing had Bai Zhenzhen as her primary target.
For this, she issued a notice among the four-school group of Heavenly Demon, Netherworld, Bone, and Hehuan.
"Whoever sees Bai Zhenzhen, inform me immediately."
When Kuang Tianqing first found Bai Zhenzhen and Zhang Yu, it seemed as if a cheer resounded in her mind.
"I’ve hit the jackpot."
"No! It’s not the jackpot, not luck, this is... my destiny!"
"Students, teachers, the school, Divinity Transformation... countless people are expecting me to take first place."
"And today! Even destiny is on my side!"
"I’m destined to win the championship of the Top Ten Leagues!"
Just before the black Sword Qi struck, Zhang Yu felt an emptiness in front of him. Kuang Tianqing, whom he had just been tightly entangled with, seemed to transform into a formless shadow, passing straight through him.
Sky Demon University’s Military Level Taoist Skill—Sky Demon Void Technique!
Zhang Yu was startled: "The intel didn’t mention Kuang Tianqing mastered this military-level Taoist skill..."
The next moment he realized: "Heavenly Demon Illusion Body Technique was what Kuang Tianqing originally practiced."
"This Sky Demon Void Technique was passed to her by the Divine Monarch of Sky Demon University..."
More than half of Kuang Tianqing’s body turned into a virtual shadow in an instant. Then, under the enhancement of the military-level Magic Remains, she pushed the remaining major part of her body into shadow form. In a flash, she penetrated Zhang Yu’s body and appeared behind him.
In the blink of an eye, Zhang Yu was like a shield for Kuang Tianqing, standing dead still in front of the black Sword Qi.
Seeing this scene, Bai Zhenzhen let out a furious roar, trying her best to control the direction of the Sword Qi and Flying Sword.
But Bai Zhenzhen’s earlier move left almost no room for maneuver. At this abrupt turn, the Sword Qi on her body burst back violently, and the Sword Qi erupting from her body caused a mist of blood on her surface.
At the same time, although most of the Sword Qi turned, there were still strands of black Sword Qi brushing past Zhang Yu’s half body, leaving deep black sword scars.
Kuang Tianqing smiled faintly, taking a step forward, leaping towards Bai Zhenzhen’s position.
Zhang Yu made an air grab, and the Earth Evil Gravity swept over Kuang Tianqing’s body, but it was like trying to grasp a shadow, failing to retain her.
Looking at the severely wounded Zhang Yu, Kuang Tianqing said indifferently: "Trash on the Immortal Path, if it weren’t for Bai Zhenzhen, you wouldn’t even qualify to be my opponent."
Then she turned her head towards Bai Zhenzhen’s direction: "You are different."
"Become the sword in my hand."
Watching this scene, Zhang Yu gritted his teeth: "Damn..."
Feeling the black Sword Qi rampaging inside his body, destroying his Gang Qi, Mana, flesh, and veins wherever it passed...
Zhang Yu quickly put on the Earth and Wood Sacred Body armor, and his internal injuries finally stabilized.
But looking at Kuang Tianqing ahead, Zhang Yu couldn’t feel at ease at all.
On the other side, Bai Zhenzhen let out a roar, bloodied all over, she was already remotely controlling the Flying Sword, unleashing all her black Sword Qi towards Kuang Tianqing.
Seeing this, Zhang Yu’s heart sank: "No, if Azhen continues in this state, she’ll lose."
Just like the endless trump cards she displayed, after this duel with Kuang Tianqing, Zhang Yu gradually realized that his initial understanding of Kuang Tianqing was completely wrong.
Especially after feeling Kuang Tianqing’s cold and indifferent gaze just now, Zhang Yu finally slightly sensed Kuang Tianqing’s true nature.
"Mad, arrogant, promiscuous... these are just her facades. According to her words, entangling me, provoking Azhen, is also to make Azhen her sword..."
As if peeling away layers of packaging, Zhang Yu looked at Kuang Tianqing ahead, darkly thinking: "This guy... even when facing weaker opponents, she never thinks about a direct confrontation."
"Using vile means to achieve her goals, using her power to attack others’ weaknesses..."
"Ruthlessly strong, ruthlessly victorious, this is probably Kuang Tianqing’s true nature."
As Zhang Yu’s heart kept sinking, a message appeared in his mind’s eye.
Wen Wuya: Do you two need remote support?
Seeing this, Zhang Yu’s expression shook, a slight smile appearing on his lips: "Finally, it’s here."
...
In the sky above the Floating Continent.
Wen Wuya sat cross-legged in the sky, quietly watching the continent below.
At the same time, his consciousness seemed to rise beyond the nine heavens, remotely controlling numerous Heavenly Patrol Flying Swords, scanning the vast arena, imprinting the mountains, rivers, grasslands, forests, deserts, lakes, volcanoes, and glaciers of this continent into his eyes.
As Wen Wuya watched, one battle after another was erupting on the Floating Continent, fierce conflicts continuously spreading, gradually rousing the battle spirit in his heart.
"Heavenly Patrol Flying Sword debugging complete."
"Complete coordinate correction finished."
"Now..."
Wen Wuya pinched his hand, as if wanting to gather the entire battlefield into his palm: "The entire arena is within my attack range."
Glancing at the support request Zhang Yu previously sent, Wen Wuya scanned towards the approximate location marked by him.
"Kuang Tianqing, huh?"
"In a face-to-face confrontation, I’m indeed not your match."
"But at this distance, within this range... I am unstoppable."
