Basically, more than ninety-nine percent of Spirit Essence Realm cultivators would find it difficult, under such circumstances, to link their moves and Martial Skills almost seamlessly like Zhang Qingyuan.
Using Collapsing Mountain to clash head-on with a Human Tier High-level Martial Skill did not come without a price.
The collision of powerful Spirit Essence force—
Even the shockwave produced by that collision alone was enough to throw the Spirit Essence inside a cultivator's body into turmoil and stagnation, leaving the mind unsettled and unable to mobilize it smoothly.
Much less immediately unleashing another Martial Skill afterward to withstand the remaining power.
All of this—
Was every bit as difficult as the Combination Skill Collapsing Mountain created by Zhang Qingyuan's complete mastery of the fourth layer of the Water Essence Art and the Nine Refinements Bone Forging Fist.
Only a Spirit Essence Realm cultivator like Zhang Qingyuan, one who had honed Basic Cultivation Methods and Martial Arts to an incomparably solid foundation, could link them seamlessly and use two Basic Martial Skills in succession to block Liu's Human Tier High-level attack.
Such a technique could only be called miraculous.
It not only left the crowd beneath the arena staring dumbfounded,
But also filled Liu, who had just used his final move, with disbelief.
His killing move had actually been received so easily!
However,
Zhang Qingyuan had no intention of caring about what Liu thought.
After blocking that terrifying Wind Mountain Sparrow Martial Skill, Zhang Qingyuan pressed forward, taking a step as Silver Shadow swept through the air in a dazzling streak of cold light.
His entire body shot forth at incredible speed.
In the span of a breath, he crossed several zhang. The longsword in his hand stirred like a violent gale, slashing toward Liu with Sword Qi and Thunder Sound!
