Rebirth and Resurrection
When enemies meet, their eyes blaze with Li Shuang's whip danced like a torrential rain, each strike imbued with her full power, capable of shattering gold and breaking stone. When it struck the ground, it would create a crack more than ten meters long. The exquisite and luxurious statues throughout the royal tomb were instantly smashed to pieces by her.
Both sides were moving at lightning speed, changing their moves against each other. Li Shuang stood still, her slender and graceful figure complemented by her sexy and alluring attire, making her look like a model posing for a poster. However, she was surrounded by whip shadows cutting through the air, her rapidly swinging arms almost disappearing from view. If this were a poster, it would surely be titled "The Anaconda's Disaster."
He Qichang moved with his sword, launching a relentless attack on his opponent. His Demon Blade: Gale Form unleashed a storm of attacks, clashing fiercely with "The Calamity of the Python." Every second, there were hundreds of collisions, and the sounds of the collisions combined to form a continuous, unending long tone.
Having learned from their previous encounter, Li Shuang knew that her opponent had mastered the Demon Blade Art to a high degree, almost reaching the level of Grandmaster. Since she couldn't gain the upper hand in terms of moves, she decided to suppress her opponent with her cultivation level. Just like in the last battle, if it weren't for the burst of cold energy within her body, she would definitely be the one laughing last.
Unexpectedly, after a long and fierce battle, He Qichang showed no signs of weakness or exhaustion, and even grew stronger with each battle.
Suddenly, the blade's energy erupted, a surge of power burst forth, smashing the long whip aside in an instant, and the blade's aura swiftly slashed towards Li Shuang's forehead.
Li Shuang's expression changed, and she quickly turned her head, narrowly avoiding the blade's edge. A lock of her hair was cut off, but this near-death experience paled in comparison to the turmoil in her heart.
"How is this possible? It's only been less than four days, how could your Cultivation Body have increased so much?"
Li Shuang looked incredulous. She could sense that He Qichang's Internal Cultivation had improved by at least one level, and his physical strength had increased significantly. His combined Cultivation Body was even greater than hers. Moreover, He Qichang's aura was very stable and he did not lose control of it, proving that he did not use forbidden techniques to temporarily enhance his abilities.
What exactly happened during those four days?
Li Shuang didn't have time to think about the reasons, because He Qichang launched another fierce attack. The battle was just like the last one, only the balance of power had been reversed.
"Azure Lotus Reflects on Water!"
Forced into action, Li Shuang's long whip propelled her body into a frenzied dance, the whip's shadow flickering erratically. Avoiding direct confrontation, she adopted a cunning and ruthless style, the thorn whip trembling and quivering, producing thirteen continuous tremors, each representing a change, like a lotus flower blooming on a lake.
He Qichang's expression remained unchanged, but Yao Qi surged forth, and the phantom of the murderer Qiongqi appeared behind him. Driven by the Yao Qi, the blade suddenly became violent, spinning and bursting with flames.
"Demon Blade - Red Lotus!"
A red lotus collided with a blue lotus. Amidst the dense whip shadows, a blade of energy as swift as light and fire struck out, skillfully finding a gap and piercing through with a whoosh. In Li Shuang's horrified eyes, it slammed into her full chest, sparks flying!
"Although it wasn't Yan Jinghong, which is a bit of a disappointment, it's still a good chance to avenge my defeat last time. Let me make it clear beforehand, I won't go easy on you just because you're a woman. Losing to a woman twice would be too embarrassing."
While Shentu Chuang fierce combat with Ling Huanxi, Shen Tu Chuang spoke, displaying a superior level of confidence.
"Yin and Yang are mutually dependent!"
The violent sword energy was like an inverted waterfall, with a fierce wind and a tsunami, creating an astonishing spectacle. The yin and yang energies clashed and burst forth with power several times greater, instantly blasting Ling Huanxi back dozens of feet.
"To be honest, you are no match for me. Last time, I only lost to you because of the formation. Now, in a fair fight, you can't beat me, and of course, I can't kill you either. So you should just admit defeat and not waste our time."
Ling Huanxi frowned, seemingly annoyed by the other person's excessive talking, and said, "Today, you're the one who lost again."
"Hahaha, I never expected that a delicate beauty like you could utter such bold words. It's truly surprising... Well, that's right, after all, you're a Nascent Spirit Transformation. You can't lose face even if you lose the fight. How can you admit defeat before you've even made a move?"
Shentu Chuang his knife over his shoulder, scratched his cheek with his finger, and said shyly, "I really like you. How about marrying me? Don't let my rough appearance fool you; I'm actually very considerate. Besides, I'm a disciple of a Food School and I can cook amazing dishes. I guarantee you'll gain ten pounds in three days."
"..."
"Don't be skeptical. There aren't more than two hands in the world whose cooking skills surpass mine. Back in the day, I was one of the Four Heavenly Kings of the Dark Culinary World. I was known for cooking better than anyone else but having better martial arts skills, and vice versa. I was truly unparalleled in both Unrivaled in Food and Martial Arts. This Nine-Ringed Golden Knife was forged by me using legendary kitchen utensils. It can keep a corpse from decaying and keep it fresh after killing someone—of course, I won't make human flesh buns."
Shentu Chuang spoke, he brandished his golden knife, which indeed bore the inscription "Unrivaled in Food and Martial Arts."
"..."
"Still not satisfied? Fine, I'll just go back and kill all those chefs whose cooking skills surpass mine, then I'll be the greatest chef in the world."
Just then, a blue energy cannon suddenly shot out from afar, carrying freezing air that covered the battlefield. The azure light spread out, and the surging cold current swept in all directions like an avalanche, rapidly changing the surrounding terrain and turning it into a crystal-clear ice and snow world. Ice walls were erected at the boundaries, forming isolated spaces. It was the Black Tortoise Cannon!
Ling Huanxi took a deep breath, rapidly activating the Glacier Divine Art, drawing upon the surrounding cold air. With a flick of her spear tip, a shimmering, sharp energy flashed, instantly increasing its power by thirty percent.
Feeling the chill corroding his Cultivation Body, Shentu Chuang was dumbfounded. "No way, is it the same situation as last time?"
"Tread on Frost, Ice Arrives!"
Ling Huanxi spun around, her spear swirling with chilling energy, condensing water into ice, transforming into an ice dragon that swooped down and crashed head-on into Shentu Chuang. The ice dragon opened its massive jaws and bit him inside.
As the golden sword and ice spear clashed, ice shards flew everywhere. Shentu Chuang had to divert some of his strength to resist the penetrating cold air, and he was no longer as at ease as before.
In the midst of their fierce battle, Ling Huanxi suddenly spoke up, "Sorry, I don't like people who look like you."
"Ah?"
The momentary hesitation exposed Shentu Chuang, and the ice spear immediately pierced through, knocking aside the golden knife and penetrating his shoulder, the chill penetrating his body.
My body grew cold, but my heart grew even colder.
Chapter 527 Rebirth and Resurrection
"The Might of the Law Grants No Pardon!"
The God of Law, transformed into the form of a yamen runner, plummeted from the sky, his water-fire cudgel, as thick as a telephone pole, slashing down at Si Ming with great force.
This move doesn't involve much skill; it simply involves gathering immense divine power in the staff, enveloping the surrounding area, and then smashing it down. However, this ordinary move, supported by almost inexhaustible divine power, is like Mount Tai suddenly collapsing, the steel staff cleaving through the air, and a thunderous roar erupting from the ground. It truly is as powerful as the sea and as majestic as a mountain.
The God of Law, occupying the advantageous terrain and looking down from above, did not allow his opponent to dodge unless he dug down into the ground. However, Si Ming preferred to confront people head-on and would not dodge. He immediately used the power of the three great gods and combined it with the multiplication technique of the Divine Sight Illusory Observation Art. He gathered nine times the power into a punch, and the phantom of a huge beast in the sea appeared behind him.
"Dragon Whale Raises a Hundred Tides!"
With a stomp of both feet, the earth suddenly trembled, and sand and dust flew up from the ground, looking at it at first glance just like the surging waves of the sea.
The dragon whale whipped its tail and soared into the sky with the force to destroy mountains and shatter seas. The collision between the two forces was like two trains colliding head-on, a clash of divine power against divine skill!
The powerful force surged forth, transforming into shockwaves that spread outwards like an invisible bulldozer, destroying all buildings above ground. Palaces that could withstand the onslaught of hurricanes were uprooted and reduced to scattered bricks and tiles. A radius of 100 meters was instantly leveled. And this was only less than 10% of the residual force; the two sides in the battle directly borne 90% of the impact.
The God of Law exploded in mid-air, his divine power scattering in all directions. Si Ming was also pressed underground, leaving spiderweb-like cracks and a human-shaped crater on the ground.
