River Battle (3)
After Yue Qianchou meters into the water, Yue Qianchou realized he was in trouble and immediately fled in panic. It turned out that although the Azure Fire was powerful, it had only been there for a short time. Only the top few meters of the frozen river had melted, while the bottom remained solid ice.
It's just that the environment of this era is too good; there's no pollution, and the water is crystal clear. Even at depths of several meters, everything is perfectly visible. Coupled with the backdrop of the ice at the bottom, every move of Yue Qianchou underwater is clearly visible to Luo Qingtian above. This makes Luo Qingtian wonder how he can see that kid this time without even using his Divine Sense.
Luo Qingtian was slightly taken aback, but immediately understood. He laughed and chased after Yue Qianchou in his tattered clothes. He quickly blocked Yue Qianchou's path, raised his sword with both hands, and the sword in his hands created a huge sword shadow. He then slashed fiercely at the river.
With a loud "bang!", a white chain of water erupted from the river's waist, creating a curtain of water hundreds of meters long and tens of meters high...
Those on the bank, unable to see the riverbed from their angle, were puzzled by Luo Qingtian's reckless actions...
The sound transmission effect in the water was quite good, making Yue Qianchou dizzy and disoriented. The huge undercurrent that surged up from the bottom of the water immediately swept him back. Without thinking too much, he sprinted back more than ten meters, his body lit up with blue flames, and he directly melted into the ice and entered the ice layer.
Luo Qingtian caught up again, and was stunned once more. Below, in the ice layer, there was a bright, cyan lantern-like orb of light—it was incredibly conspicuous. He couldn't help but laugh again, shouting, "Yue Qianchou, let's see where you can run this time!"
He ran ahead and raised a massive sword shadow, cleaving down to block the river. As the spray of water fell, Luo Qingtian actually disappeared into the water along with it... Dongfang Changao and Chou Wuyuan simultaneously rose into the air. Seeing the large blue lantern at the bottom of the river, they immediately understood everything. Exchanging bewildered glances, the two cursed inwardly, thinking, "What's the difference between this brat and someone who's just burying their head in the sand?"
Suddenly, a huge wave surged on the river surface, and a layer of ice almost as wide as the river itself emerged from the riverbed... It turned out that Luo Qingtian had actually moved the solid ice that was clinging to the riverbed away from the water. The ice had great buoyancy, and as soon as it was removed from the riverbed, it immediately floated to the surface. Within the large ice block, which was a hundred meters long and wide, a shimmering blue shadow was moving around. Everyone knew without guessing that it was Yue Qianchou.
Luo Qingtian was deliberately trying to embarrass Yue Qianchou, hoping to regain some face in this way. He glanced at the crowd on both sides of the river, his face darkened, and he slowly raised his sword again. He wanted everyone to see with their own eyes how he would kill Yue Qianchou with his sword; otherwise, he would not be able to avenge his humiliation.
The shimmering blue light within the ice suddenly subsided, as if sensing the impending danger... When the ice had vibrated earlier, Yue Qianchou had found it strange; he had inadvertently discovered he could vaguely see the sun in the sky, something impossible on ice underwater. His heart sank; sensing something amiss, he quickly withdrew the blue flame and immediately noticed the entire ice space was brightly lit. Needless to say, based on his basic common sense from his previous life, he immediately judged that the ice had surfaced. The word "danger" instantly flashed through his mind.
Seeing the azure light disappear from the ice, Luo Qingtian paused briefly, then immediately and without hesitation swung his massive sword shadow down towards the spot where the light had once shone... Suddenly, a burst of azure flames shattered the ice layer, burning fiercely. The massive sword shadow was a phantom formed from Sword Qi, unaffected by the azure fire, and immediately pierced through the flames, cleaving the hundred-meter-wide ice layer in two with a deafening crash.
Those concerned about Yue Qianchou turned ashen-faced, unsure of his condition. Ziyi, however, bit her lip, firmly believing that Elder Bi's disciple wouldn't be so easily harmed!
Luo Qingtian withdrew his Sword Qi, stood steadily on the swaying ice, and scanned the surroundings with his sharp eyes. Before confirming that Yue Qianchou was dead, he dared not release his Divine Sense to scan again. He didn't know what strange method Yue Qianchou had used to severely damage his Divine Sense. The feeling was unforgettable. Otherwise, he would not have been frozen by Yue Qianchou.
Just then, from a crack in the swaying ice, a figure dragging two dark shadows shot out from not far in front of Luo Qingtian. It was Yue Qianchou who had somehow produced two strange large swords. The swords were at least two meters long and half a meter wide, glossy black in color, and their appearance was somewhat incongruous; few people could probably recognize what they were.
Yue Qianchou doesn't care about the style or design, as long as it's easy to use. These two knives were made by him using black fire, and they were modeled after the machetes he used in his previous life, only much larger. However, the grip area was not enlarged, so they looked out of place.
"This blade was taken from the Netherworld Sea of Fire, I refuse to believe it's useless!" Yue Qianchou roared inwardly, leaping into the air and slashing straight down at Luo Qingtian with his large cleaver in both hands. The sheer size of the blade startled Luo Qingtian slightly, but he immediately unleashed a burst of silver-white Sword Qi, striking at the two incoming blades.
With two sharp "swish" sounds, the two Hei Da sliced through the Sword Qi as easily as paper. Luo Qingtian and Yue Qianchou were both stunned. The former was startled, while the latter was unaware that the Black Fire great saber could actually break through sword energy. Normally, Sword Qi that could withstand the Sword Qi of a master without being damaged was already a valuable treasure; they had never seen anything like it.
In fact, Yue Qianchou himself did not know how powerful this black fire was. Just imagine that the black smoke from its burning form wind blades, which can break through the protective Gang Qi and easily cut through the black iron, let alone the greatsword formed by the black fire itself.
"What a fine blade!" Dongfang Changao and Chou Wuyuan exclaimed immediately. The onlookers all showed expressions of amazement, never imagining such Law Treasure existed. Breaking a master's Sword Qi was as easy as cutting paper; many eyes gleamed with greed. The four Clan Leader of the Four Great Families exchanged glances. Having been favored by Bi Changchun and each bestowed a low-grade spiritual treasure, they naturally assumed that Yue Qianchou's strange blade was also a precious gift from Bi Changchun.
After his initial shock, Luo Qingtian quickly regained his senses and swung his sword to block the attack. With a clang, the two large black cleavers displayed their power once more, effortlessly cleaving Luo Qingtian's sword into three pieces.
Luo Qingtian was shocked. The blade was already at his face. He quickly dodged to a distance of more than ten meters. He stared at the hilt of the sword in his hand, speechless. This was a top-grade offensive Law Treasure passed down by the successive sect leaders of the Daluo Sect! It had been so easily cut in half by someone with a blade? He found it hard to believe.
The sword of the Daluo Sect Master was renowned throughout the Cultivation World; anyone with a modicum of common sense knew what kind of treasure it was. And now it had been cleaved in two like this? The onlookers were speechless with shock, even Dongfang Changao and Chou Wuyuan were dumbfounded. Only the four family heads wore expressions of utter certainty.
Looking at the two strange yet unremarkable broadswords in Yue Qianchou's hands, everyone immediately thought of a possibility: could they be legendary magical treasures? Otherwise, how could Yue Qianchou cultivation level, so easily destroy a high-grade magic Law Treasure? Instantly, everyone's eyes burned with fervor...
