Chapter 405 Qinglian Daoist: What kind of technique is this?
The moment the words left his mouth, the air around the desolate mountain seemed to freeze.
Chen Fan slowly turned around and saw the Azure Lotus Daoist standing on the clouds, his Daoist robes fluttering, his beard and hair standing on end. The pressure of the Great Perfection of the Nascent Soul stage poured down like a tide, causing the rocks to tumble down.
"After hiding for half a month, you've finally shown yourself?" A cold glint flashed in the Green Lotus Daoist's eyes, his divine sense firmly locking onto Chen Fan within a ten-foot radius. "Old eunuch, today is your death day!"
Chen Fan smiled.
He brushed off non-existent dust from his robes and said slowly, "Fellow Daoist Qinglian, why are you so angry? I merely borrowed a few jade slips and took the opportunity to spar with you a bit. Why are you so fixated on this?"
"Borrowing? Sparring?" Daoist Qinglian laughed angrily. "You stole the sword tomb's inheritance from my sect and destroyed the core of my protective array. Is that what you call borrowing? You vanished without a trace after exchanging two blows with me. Is that what you call sparring?"
"What else can we do?" Chen Fan spread his hands, looking completely innocent. "Our family hasn't committed any murder or arson. If Fellow Daoist Qinglian is so petty, won't people laugh at the Qingyun Sect for being narrow-minded?"
"you!"
The Azure Lotus Daoist was momentarily speechless, then roared, "Sharp tongue! Today I'll show you what it means for the majesty of a Nascent Soul cultivator to be inviolable!"
Having said that, he stopped talking nonsense, raised his right hand, and a burst of blue light surged from his palm!
An ancient longsword appeared out of thin air, its blade wrapped in the phantom of a blue lotus. The moment it appeared, all the plants and trees within a hundred feet bowed their heads. The sword's intent had already arrived even before its aura was released!
It is the natal magic weapon of Daoist Qinglian!
Azure Lotus Sword!
Chen Fan's eyes narrowed slightly.
A strike from a Nascent Soul cultivator at the Great Perfection stage, delivered in a fit of rage, is no ordinary attack.
He took a deep breath, his spiritual energy surged, and the concept of cause and effect quietly flowed within him.
"Perfect, I'll use you to test my newly acquired magic."
Before he could finish speaking, a grayish-white light suddenly shone brightly in Chen Fan's palm!
The light was initially faint, but then, like the rising sun, it rapidly expanded and intensified, transforming into a ball of light the size of a human head, suspended in my palm.
The gray-white aura within the sphere flowed endlessly, possessing both the scorching heat of sunlight and the coolness of moonlight, as well as an indescribable upward momentum!
It is Shengyang!
Qinglian Daoist's pupils contracted.
With his profound cultivation and extensive knowledge, he could tell at a glance that this ball of light was extraordinary!
"What kind of magic is this old eunuch using now?" Qinglian Daoist was shocked, but his hands did not stop moving, and the Qinglian Sword slashed down from the air!
"Azure Lotus Nine Slashes! First Form! Breaking Illusion!"
The sword light, like a blue ribbon, tore through the sky and aimed straight for Chen Fan's face!
This sword strike, seemingly simple, actually contains the true meaning of dispelling illusions. It is specifically designed to counter illusions, concealment, and deceptive techniques, and is precisely aimed at Chen Fan's elusive escape techniques!
Chen Fan neither dodged nor evaded, but held the Sunrise Orb in his right hand and gently pushed it towards the sword light.
"go."
The ball of light left his hand, not fast, but with a strange rhythm, as if it wasn't Chen Fan pushing it, but rather the great forces of heaven and earth lifting it up!
The next instant, the ball of light collided with the cyan sword light.
There was no earth-shattering roar, nor any turbulent flow of spiritual energy.
The moment the blazing white orb touched the sword light, the sword light melted away as quickly as ice and snow meeting the sun!
No, it's not melting.
Qinglian Daoist saw it clearly!
The sword light was lifted up by the rising force within the sphere of light, and the sword intent was forcibly elevated and dispersed, ultimately crumbling!
"What?" Daoist Qinglian's expression changed drastically.
Although he didn't use his full strength in this sword strike, he still used seventy percent of his power, yet it was neutralized by the opponent's casual strike.
What alarmed him even more was that after the ball of light broke through the sword light, it continued its momentum and headed straight for him!
Wherever the sphere of light passed, the air distorted, the light refracted, and even space itself rippled!
Daoist Qinglian dared not be careless. He held the Qinglian Sword horizontally in front of his chest, made a hand seal with his left hand, and his body was filled with a burst of green light, which transformed into a huge green lotus phantom to protect his whole body.
"Azure Lotus Protection!"
The ball of light collided with the illusory image of the blue lotus.
laugh!
Like a red-hot iron block falling into water, the illusory image of the blue lotus trembled violently, and countless ripples spread across its surface.
That grayish-white light, like a malignant tumor, frantically eroded the protective spiritual light of the Azure Lotus Daoist!
Even more strangely, Daoist Qinglian felt the spiritual energy within his body surging upwards uncontrollably, as if being lifted up by an invisible force, causing sluggish circulation and throbbing pain in his meridians!
"This technique... can cause a cultivator's own spiritual power to backfire!" Qinglian Daoist was horrified and hurriedly activated his nascent soul to forcibly suppress the agitation within his body.
In that brief delay, the rising sun sphere had already pierced through the outer layer of the illusory green lotus and was heading straight for his true form!
With a roar, the Azure Lotus Daoist caused the Azure Lotus Sword to tremble violently. The azure lotus on the sword bloomed, and the nine lotus petals spun out, transforming into nine azure sword energies that swirled toward the sphere of light!
"Nine Slashes of the Azure Lotus! All Nine Lotuses Bloom Simultaneously!"
Each of the nine sword energies was comparable to a full-force attack from a late-stage Core Formation cultivator. When all nine swords were unleashed together, even a Nascent Soul cultivator in the early stages would not dare to take it head-on!
However, the ball of light only paused slightly, and then the gray-white light shone brightly, lifting up all nine sword energies, like nine blue fish being overturned by the waves, scattering and flying in all directions!
Taking advantage of this brief moment, Daoist Qinglian retreated a hundred feet, his face turning ashen.
He looked down at the Taoist robe on his chest!
Suddenly, the area was struck by the aftershocks of the light sphere, creating a hole the size of a bowl. The edges were charred black, and a faint grayish-white aura lingered, continuously corroding the fabric!
If he hadn't retreated quickly, that attack would likely have injured his body!
"What a bizarre spell..." Qinglian Daoist stared intently at Chen Fan, his fear no longer concealed.
Meanwhile, disciples of the Qingyun Sect had begun to arrive from all around the desolate mountain upon hearing the news.
The first to arrive were a dozen or so disciples on patrol. They saw their ancestor fighting with someone from afar and were too frightened to approach. They only dared to watch from a distance of a thousand feet.
When the disciples realized that the one confronting the patriarch was actually the old eunuch who had stolen the Sword Tomb's inheritance, they were all in an uproar!
"It's that old eunuch! He hasn't left yet?"
"Not only did he not leave, but look at him, he can even exchange blows with the patriarch without being at a disadvantage!"
"What kind of magic was that ball of light just now? It actually managed to break through the Ancestor's Azure Lotus protective barrier!"
"Just who is this old eunuch?"
The discussions spread like wildfire, and more and more disciples rushed over from all directions. In no time, hundreds of people had gathered around the desolate mountain, and the number was still increasing.
Yun Haizi also arrived.
He stood in mid-air, watching Chen Fan confront the ancestor, his expression shifting constantly.
Half a month ago, the patriarch fought with this old eunuch at the Sword Tomb. Although the battle ended in a draw, the patriarch returned to the sect with a gloomy expression, clearly having suffered a hidden loss.
Now, only half a month has passed, and the old eunuch has already figured out a new technique, which is even more powerful than before!
"If this scoundrel is not eliminated, he will surely become a great scourge!" Yun Haizi gritted his teeth, but dared not step forward rashly!
He clearly saw the power of the ball of light just now; if he had been hit by it, he would probably have been seriously injured on the spot.
In the arena, Chen Fan withdrew the remaining aura of the Ascending Sun Sphere, felt the depletion of spiritual energy within his body, and secretly assessed the situation.
"The Ascending Sun Technique can only cause minor injuries to Nascent Soul cultivators at the Great Perfection stage, and it consumes a great deal of energy... It seems it still needs improvement."
He looked up at Daoist Qinglian and smiled, "Fellow Daoist Qinglian, shall we continue the fight?"
