Mountain Peak True Form!

Upon hearing this, Yue Qing remained silent. The aura emanating from his body became even more intense and violent, and then a phantom of an ancient divine mountain materialized behind him.

The phantom stood tall and imposing, piercing the clouds and exuding a terrifying aura that suppressed all things.

Lu Tian on the other side of the arena, his sky-blue sword robe fluttering in the gale whipped up by Yue Qing.

The Seven Star Sword in his hand emanated a pure and surging Sword Intent.

"Boom boom..."

The clash of their auras caused the entire arena to roar violently.

Seeing this, all the disciples of Mount Shu below held their breath and waited for the duel between the two Peak Scion.

After a moment of silence, Lu Tian's expression hardened, and he said in a deep voice:

"Yue Qing, please!"

Having said that, he held the Seven Star Sword horizontally in front of him.

"Boom!"

Upon hearing what Lu Tian said, Yue Qing didn't hold back. He took a step forward and threw out his right fist.

This punch may seem simple, but it contains the complete essence of the first move of the Thirty-Six Mountain Suppressing Styles -Mountain Crushing Collapse.

"Boom..."

The force of the fist condensed into a hundred-foot-tall phantom mountain, crushing towards Lu Tian with an unstoppable and ferocious momentum!

Wherever the illusory mountain shadows passed, the air was compressed into visible white waves of air, and space and time seemed to be distorted and deformed.

Seeing the punch Yue Qing unleashed.

Lu Tian swung his Seven Star Sword, and the Sword Light shot into the sky.

"The North Star Settles the Tripod!"

The Seven Star Sword Canon Manual was activated, drawing upon the power of the stars in the heavens once again.

Upon closer inspection, a dazzling starlight descended from the sky, merging with Lu Tian's Sword Light, and then transforming into a long rainbow piercing the sun, heading straight to meet the crushing mountain phantom.

"Bang!"

In no time at all, the Sword Light collided with the illusory mountain.

In an instant, the world lost its color!

The violent energy surge swept in all directions, causing the protective arrays around the arena to flicker violently and emit a humming sound as if they were about to collapse under the strain.

Amidst the billowing smoke and dust, the two figures each took three steps back.

This initial exchange ended in a draw.

"Oh?"

After regaining his footing, Yue Qing's eyes flashed with a sharp light, and his fighting spirit surged.

Unexpectedly, Lu Tian was able to unleash such combat power.

It's important to know that Lu Tian had expended a considerable amount of energy in his previous battle with Yu Mingzi.

While the other Mount Shu disciples didn't notice, Yue Qing could see that Lu Tian's Spiritual Qi energy was being greatly depleted. He appeared to be fine on the surface, but in reality, he was just putting on Lu Tian!

"Okay! Let's do it again!"

Shocked, Yue Qing didn't hesitate and threw both punches at once.

"Boom..."

Immediately following, the second, third, and fourth moves of the Thirty-Six Mountain Suppressing Styles were unleashed in quick succession!

Mountain-Severing Slash! Earth-Suppressing Seal! Earth-Shaking Hammer!

The three attacks contain three different profound meanings.

The Mountain-Severing Slash is unparalleled in its sharpness, the Earth-Suppressing Seal is as heavy as a mountain, Earth-Shaking Hammer is as violent as thunder.

Looking up, one could see that Yue Qing's three consecutive attacks had instantly intertwined into an impenetrable killing net, sealing off all of Lu Tian's escape routes.

"Snort!"

Upon seeing this, Lu Tian gave a cold snort, a resolute glint in his eyes.

"Whoosh!"

Without hesitation, he unleashed three consecutive strikes with the Seven Star Sword in his hand.

"The Big Dipper Exorcises Evil! The South Dipper Governs Life! The West Dipper Executes Fate!"

The three swords were drawn simultaneously, instantly unleashing three beams of Sword Light to meet the three attacks that Yue Qing was launching.

"Bang bang!"

In less than a few breaths, the Sword Light and the fist force collided again, producing a deafening roar.

This violent upheaval even tore several cracks in the protective array surrounding the arena.

After a long while, the smoke and dust dissipated, and the tremors subsided.

At this moment, on the arena...

Lu Tian and Yue Qing remained facing each other.

The difference was that Yue Qing appeared very calm.

In contrast, Lu Tian's sky-blue sword robe was torn and fluttered like flying catkins, with blood constantly seeping from the corner of his mouth.

He looked extremely weak and his face was deathly pale.

It's not hard to see that Lu Tian had suffered considerable injuries from the collision just now.

Seeing this, Chen Changqing's expression darkened slightly, and he muttered to himself:

"Junior Uncle's condition is deteriorating."

"His previous battle with Yu Mingzi had already taken a heavy toll on him."

"Facing Yue Qing, and with such a head-on confrontation, I'm afraid... he won't be able to hold out for much longer."

Just then, on the arena, Yue Qing looked directly at Lu Tian and spoke in a cold voice:

"Junior Brother Lu Tian."

"Why don't you just admit defeat?"

"To be able to defeat Yu Mingzi and have fought me until now, even if I lost, I have reason to be proud!"

Upon hearing Yue Qing's words, Lu Tian suddenly burst into laughter.

When Yue Qing first stepped onto the stage, he told him to admit defeat.

"Ha ha!"

As he laughed, Lu Tian's eyes narrowed, and he said with unwavering determination:

"Senior Brother Yue."

"I will not admit defeat."

"If you're so capable, then defeat me fair and square!"

As he said this, Lu Tian glanced at Chen Changqing, who was hovering outside the arena.

After defeating Yu Mingzi, he originally intended to fight his junior disciple Chen Changqing, which would fulfill a long-held wish of his.

Unexpectedly, Yue Qing stepped onto the arena at an extremely inopportune time.

"With my current strength, I'm afraid I can't even defeat Yue Qing."

"It seems unlikely that he will be able to fight Changqing Nephew Changqing in this competition."

"But..."

Thinking of this, Lu Tian's expression became ruthless and resolute.

In this Seven Peaks Grand Competition, only he, Yue Qing, and Chen Changqing, who has not yet appeared, remain.

In Lu Tian's view, he and Chen Changqing were both from the Sect Master Lineage.

Although he may not be able to duel Chen Changqing in the arena, he can still do something for the Sect Master Lineage.

That is, to fight Yue Qing with all one's might.

After all, if he were to lose to Yue Qing here, then only Chen Changqing and Yue Qing would remain to face off.

If we can weaken Yue Qing more, it will certainly be helpful to Chen Changqing.

Just as Lu Tian was lost in thought, Yue Qing's expression suddenly darkened.

Unexpectedly, even though Lu Tian was on the verge of collapse, he still insisted on continuing the fight.

"Junior Brother Lu Tian!"

"You really won't admit defeat?"

"If your cultivation foundation is damaged in the upcoming competition, don't blame me!"

Upon hearing this, Lu Tian snapped out of his reverie and gave Yue Qing a cold glance, saying:

"Senior Brother Yue."

"Enough talk, make your move!"

Upon seeing Lu Tian's sword technique, Yue Qing's brows furrowed.

The next moment, the aura emanating from his body surged once again.

"Boom..."

This time, it was no longer a simple release of Gang Qi, but the true Mountain-Suppressing True Intention.

"The Mountain Peak True Form!"

With a roar, Yue Qing's body suddenly swelled, and in no time, he transformed into a giant, standing on the arena.

His skin shimmered with a rock-like gray-brown, and his muscles contained explosive power.

Even with each breath, it seemed to resonate with the surrounding earth.
