Ruthlessly crushing the flower (part two)
Myriad Flowers Elder transformed into Ghost Cultivator, practicing a Cultivation Technique called Ghost Sword Art. As Ghost Dao Sword Cultivator, his chilling sword Sword Intent exuded a cold aura, as if darkening the sky. Faint Ghost Howl howls echoed throughout the Heaven and Earth, making people feel a chill from the depths of their hearts.
Compared to Myriad Flowers Elder's Sword Intent, Zhuge Xiang's Sword Intent was also very powerful. However, Myriad Flowers Elder's Sword Intent was more inclined towards coldness and evil, while Zhuge Xiang's Sword Intent was full of grandeur and domineering aura.
As Demonic Path Cultivator, Zhuge Xiang's Sword Intent exuded a destructive power. Although Zhuge Xiang was far inferior to Myriad Flowers Elder in cultivation, his Sword Intent aura was equally matched and he was in no way inferior to him.
Myriad Flowers Elder, though powerful, has only been Sword Cultivator for a few years. Zhuge Xiang, on the other hand, has been using swords for much longer than Myriad Flowers Elder. Moreover, Zhuge Xiang is Cultivator who possesses Sword Soul.
Although his cultivation level was inferior, Zhuge Xiang was far superior to Myriad Flowers Elder in Sword Dao. Both had their strengths in cultivation and Sword Dao, so their Sword Intent was evenly matched, making it impossible to tell who was stronger...
"Elder Changfeng, between Zhuge Xiang and Myriad Flowers Elder, who has a better chance of winning?" In Sword Dao competitions, the people of the Heavenly Sword Sect are naturally the most discerning. Therefore, some of the powerful figures watching the battle couldn't help but ask the elders of the Heavenly Sword Sect.
"Both sides have their strengths, even I can't see them. However, Myriad Flowers Elder is more powerful and has cultivated for much longer, so he should have more combat experience. Perhaps he has a higher chance of winning."
Elder Changfeng, although he also valued Zhuge Xiang's Sword Dao, after pondering for a moment, still felt that Myriad Flowers Elder, Void Returning Stage, had a better chance of winning.
"Nan Mingzi, what's your opinion? How strong is Myriad Flowers Elder's cultivation?" On the other side, someone else asked the experts of the Ghost Controlling Sect. Myriad Flowers Elder was Ghost Cultivator, and the Ghost Controlling Sect Cultivator naturally knew more about his strength.
"This Myriad Flowers Elder is truly a talent. He transformed his Nascent Soul into Sword Infant of Sword Dao Cultivator. Although he is Ghost Cultivator, his chilling Sword Intent is just like that of Sword Cultivator. Among Evil Ghost, his combat power is absolutely second to none." Nan Mingzi's eyes were fixed on Myriad Flowers Elder. He couldn't hide a trace of admiration and amazement as he spoke.
Regarding the battle between Zhuge Xiang and Myriad Flowers Elder, although Zhuge Xiang's strength was also very strong, most people present felt that Myriad Flowers Elder was slightly better. After all, the cultivation of the Void Returning Stage is not something to be taken lightly. However, not everyone thought so.
For example, Liao Wufa, the current Sect Master of the Yin Yang Demonic Sect, had a mocking smile on his lips, looking like he was watching a good show. What he was mocking was self-evident.
Although Luo Ba was filled with anticipation, he remained calm and collected. In his view, even if Zhuge Xiang was no match for him, it wouldn't be easy for Myriad Flowers Elder to kill him.
"Head Monk Dajue, what's your opinion?" In addition, some Void Returning Stage experts asked the Chief Seat the Disciplinary Hall of Heavenly Dragon Temple in a low voice.
"Amitābha Buddha, fellow practitioner, you will know as you read on..." The Zen Master Dajue, the Chief Seat of the Disciplinary Hall, with a faint smile on his face, heard the question, chanted a Buddhist prayer, and spoke with a hidden meaning.
"Oh? Does Zen Master Dajue perhaps know something inside?" Hearing Zen Master Dajue's words, which were clearly meant to keep him in suspense, the inquiring Cultivator's eyes lit up slightly, and he pressed for an answer.
The other Cultivator nearby also looked curiously at the eminent monks of Heavenly Dragon Temple. However, the monks of Heavenly Dragon Temple were determined not to reveal anything, and no matter how much they pressed them, it was no use. The Zen Master Dajue and the others simply smiled and remained silent, as if saying that the Buddha's words could not be spoken.
"Ghost Howl Style!" In terms of Sword Intent, he couldn't gain the upper hand. Underneath his black robe, Myriad Flowers Elder frowned slightly. Since he couldn't suppress him in terms of Sword Intent, he could only rely on his own cultivation to crush him. So, with a single move, Heaven-Shaking Sword Qi appeared, as if it could cleave the Heaven and Earth and earth in two.
The Void Returning Stage cultivators a full-force sword strike is self-evident. As the sword is swung, a terrifying black Sword Qi appears, transforming into a streak of light, while a mournful Ghost Howl echoes throughout the Heaven and Earth.
Upon closer inspection, the black Sword Qi revealed the forms of countless Vengeful Spirits and Vengeful Spirits, billions of them converging to form this black Sword Qi that stretched across the sky...
The dense and sharp howls of Ghost Howl seemed to echo in his mind like demonic sounds, making him feel dizzy and unable to concentrate. However, as the Ghost Howl echoed in his mind, the Sword Soul on his spiritual platform shone with a sharp light, instantly shattering the influence of these demonic sounds. Although the howls of Ghost Howl were still there, they could no longer affect Zhuge Xiang's mind.
"Demon Subduing Sword Art!" With the Sword Soul severing the influence of the Ghost Howl, the Slaying Luo Sword in Zhuge Xiang's hand suddenly unleashed a sacred aura. A magnificent and holy Sword Qi appeared, supremely powerful and yang, seemingly capable of purifying all darkness and evil in the world...
Ghost Howl Style Swordsmanship is filled with an evil aura, while Demon Subduing Sword Art is the exact opposite, filled with a sacred aura. Black and gold Sword Qi suddenly appears, seemingly filling the entire Heaven and Earth, drawing attention to these two Sword Qi. Apart from them, it seems that there is nothing else in the Heaven and Earth.
Boom!
The evil Sword Qi was indeed powerful, but Zhuge Xiang's Demon Subduing Sword Art was even more imbued with a sacred aura, capable of purifying and disintegrating all dark and evil things. A terrifying explosion occurred as Sword Qi clashed with Sword Qi, unleashing an invisible shockwave that swept away everything...
As Zhuge Xiang and Myriad Flowers Elder made their move, Luo Ba raised his hand, and a small, ancient bell, about the size of a palm, appeared in his palm. It grew larger as it was raised in the wind, and in an instant, it transformed into a spherical Restriction Barrier about ten miles in diameter, enveloping Zhuge Xiang and Myriad Flowers Elder within it.
The shockwaves from their battle were Restriction Barrier by the barrier and did not affect the Asura Sect's base in any way. Otherwise, if they had not been restrained, the shockwaves from their battle would have been enough to destroy the Asura Sect's base.
"As expected of Void Returning Stage powerhouses!" The powerful Sword Qi forced Zhuge Xiang to retreat considerably. He stared intently at Myriad Flowers Elder with gleaming eyes. He had killed countless powerful Yaomo Ghosts and Monsters with his Demon Subduing Sword Art, but he never expected to be at a disadvantage against Myriad Flowers Elder.
"Kill!" Seeing that she had gained a slight advantage, how could Myriad Flowers Elder let it go? Her figure flashed, incredibly fast, instantly appearing before Zhuge Xiang. Her black spirit sword transformed into a streak of dark, sharp light, aiming straight for Zhuge Xiang's heart...
As the saying goes, "fast as a ghost," which means that ghosts and similar creatures are extremely fast and their movements are unpredictable. Myriad Flowers Elder, who cultivates the Ghost Cultivator Ghost Sword Art, fights as a ghost cultivator, his speed is truly unbelievable.
"A mere Nascent Soul Stage, yet he dares to try and kill me?" However, looking at the black sword hurtling straight towards his heart, Zhuge Xiang's lips curled into a mocking sneer.
Although Myriad Flowers Elder's cultivation is very strong, Zhuge Xiang is not afraid of any powerful expert as long as they have not entered the Dao Seeking Realm.
"Block Prediction!"
Using his Block Prediction Skill, Zhuge Xiang successfully blocked Myriad Flowers Elder's seemingly inevitable sword strike. Immediately, his eyes blazed with silver-white light, and he unleashed a blinding attack on Myriad Flowers Elder, the Ice Eye...
Caught off guard and face to face, Myriad Flowers Elder was truly taken aback by the attack that Zhuge Xiang unleashed from his eyes. With a snap, a chilling silver-white light struck Myriad Flowers Elder directly. Although he was merely Ghost Cultivator, the light still covered Myriad Flowers Elder's body with Ice Shards, and his movements became sluggish.
Previously, Myriad Flowers Elder had gained a slight advantage in a single move, so she pressed her advantage and launched a pursuit. Now that Zhuge Xiang the upper hand, how could he possibly hold back?
Three Consecutive Slashes!
With a low shout in his heart, Zhuge Xiang's figure instantly transformed into a shadow too fast for the naked eye to follow. Even in his normal state, Myriad Flowers Elder might not be able to withstand Zhuge Xiang's rapid Three Consecutive Slashes combo, let alone now, when his speed was further affected by the Ice Eye.
The Slaying Luo Sword, being Lingbao, left a large sword wound on Myriad Flowers Elder's body. However, as Ghost Cultivator, Myriad Flowers Elder did not bleed; only pure black ghost energy could be seen emanating from the wound...
"Get out of my way!" Despite his Void Returning Stage cultivation, he had been injured by Zhuge Xiang first, and now, in front of everyone, the Myriad Flowers Elder, humiliated and enraged, let out a fierce howl—a true Ghost Howl...
With Ghost Howl, an invisible yet powerful force erupted from Myriad Flowers Elder, blasting Zhuge Xiang, who was about to launch another attack, back dozens of meters away...
With a surge of ghostly energy, the layer of fine Ice Shards Myriad Flowers Elder his body shattered instantly. Despite wearing a long robe, his ghostly eyes shone with a terrifying light as he coldly stared at Zhuge Xiang...
Originally, in Myriad Flowers Elder's view, Zhuge Xiang's cultivation was only at the Golden Core Stage, while she herself was at the Nascent Soul Stage. Defeating him should not have taken much effort. Under the watchful eyes of everyone, Myriad Flowers Elder would not want to fight Zhuge Xiang to the bitter end and wanted to finish the battle quickly.
However, after their exchange, Myriad Flowers Elder realized that Zhuge Xiang's strength was indeed no weaker than that of a Void Returning Stage cultivators. If she still insisted on a quick victory and wanted to crush her opponent, she might end up capsizing in this ditch...
"Very good! I admit it! Your strength is indeed much greater than I imagined! Therefore, I will now treat you as an equal opponent."
Beneath the black robe, a pair of ghostly eyes stared intently at Zhuge Xiang. The aura emanating from Myriad Flowers Elder had changed, becoming darker, colder, and more powerful... (To be continued...)
