As soon as the duel began, Golden Mirror Hermit formed a hand seal. Golden light blazed from his body, and specks of golden light emerged in the air, transforming into small golden mirrors that hung high overhead like a starry sky.
Wang Changsheng drew a deep breath. Five Ocean-Calming Pearls appeared in his right palm as blue light flared across his body. He smashed them toward the empty space ahead.
The air let out a muffled "buzzing" roar and twisted violently, as though it were about to tear apart. Countless blue motes surfaced, forming a blue fist shadow over a hundred zhang in size that hurtled forward with a shriek through the air.
The blue fist shadow contained astonishing spiritual power. Wherever it passed, it whipped up gales that swept countless shattered stones into the sky. Heaven and earth changed color, while the ground split open in crack after crack. As the blue fist shadow sped forward, those fissures widened along with it.
Howls filled the air. The blue fist shadow resembled a savage blue flood dragon, repeatedly letting out furious roars as though it meant to swallow Golden Mirror Hermit whole.
Golden Mirror Hermit's expression turned grave. With a hand seal, more than a hundred pale-golden mirrors each shot out a Golden Light Pillar. They converged into a Golden Light Pillar over ten zhang wide, meeting the attack head-on with overwhelming momentum.
The blue fist shadow collided with the Golden Light Pillar, and the pillar instantly crumbled, vanishing without a trace.
The technique Wang Changsheng cultivated slowly refined and purified his spiritual power. In terms of spiritual power alone, his was somewhat deeper than Golden Mirror Hermit's.
The blue fist shadow continued toward Golden Mirror Hermit. The ground tore apart, opening up fissures as though an earthquake had struck.
