Tang San vs. Li Qinglian, Green Lotus Sword Technique vs. Tang Sect Ultimate Skills

A little boy had just killed the dean who had brought him here to hunt soul beasts, and then said something like that.

It was seriously terrifying, all right?

Huo Wu really had been frightened. She looked at Tang San as if she had seen a ghost.

Why were kids these days fiercer than the last?

"If little brother Qinglian is a monster of talent, then this Tang San is simply a monster."

Both of them were extremely mature mentally, but the feeling they gave off was different.

Tang San was somewhat reserved, and at times he seemed gloomy. Li Qinglian, on the other hand, was much sunnier.

But Huo Wu also understood that Tang San had ambushed and killed Kahn to protect himself.

Otherwise, once Kahn killed them, he would inevitably kill Tang San too to silence him.

It was just that...

Huo Wu could not understand why Tang San was so smart.

"Remember this. My name is Tang San."

"Your strength is quite impressive. It's a pity we won't have the chance to fight in the future."

Looking at Li Qinglian, Tang San felt somewhat melancholy.

Geniuses naturally appreciated one another.

Tang San had to admit that Li Qinglian was the most monstrous genius he had ever seen.

Li Qinglian's talent was on an even higher level than the performance of those famous experts in the textbooks when they were young.

"Isn't that right? You barely have any soul power left."

Tang San smiled faintly.

He released his Martial Soul.

Thick Blue Silver vines shot swiftly toward Li Qinglian's body.

It was as if, in the very next moment, they would pierce through this peerless genius's body.

"It's time to end this."

Tang San turned his head away.

It seemed he was unwilling to see with his own eyes such a top-tier genius fall here in such a regrettable way.

However.

In the next instant.

Hiss!

Li Qinglian slashed apart the Blue Silver Grass with his sword.

Those seemingly thick vines were all cut through beneath Li Qinglian's blade.

The cut surfaces were as smooth as mirrors!

"You have twin Martial Souls?"

Tang San turned his head back, his pupils contracting sharply.

Looking at the Green Lotus Sword in Li Qinglian's hand, Tang San instantly felt a chill crawl over his body.

Li Qinglian's smile was somewhat pale, and the blood at the corner of his mouth had yet to dry, but the hand gripping his sword did not tremble in the slightest.

Tang San did not say another word.

He moved.

He stepped out with Ghost Shadow Perplexing Step, his figure dragging a blurred afterimage through the air. Three steps to the left, two flashes to the right, his path like a snake swimming through an underground river.

His palms had already turned the color of white jade, his five fingers slightly curled, with the faint sound of wind being torn apart.

This was Mysterious Jade Hand!

At the same time, Blue Silver Grass erupted once more.

His second soul ring lit up. Thick vines burst from the ground beneath Li Qinglian's feet, coiling, tightening, trying to lock his legs in place.

"This move again?"

Li Qinglian sneered.

The tip of his foot stomped hard against the ground, and his whole body used the force to rise half a foot into the air as his sword tip slashed downward.

Hiss!

A streak of azure sword energy swept out close to the ground, cutting the coiling Blue Silver vines in half at the waist.

But in that very instant, Tang San had already closed to within three feet of him.

Mysterious Jade Hand struck out!

The palm wind was fierce, carrying a soft, insidious hidden force that made the air hum wherever it passed.

If that palm landed solidly, the lighter result would be cracked bones; the heavier, all five viscera shattered.

Li Qinglian had no time to bring his sword back to block. He could only turn sideways and dodge.

At the same time, he flicked the fingers of his left hand, and a strand of sword intent shot explosively from between them, hurtling straight toward Tang San's face.

Tang San's eyelid twitched.

His foot slid, and his entire body glided half a step to the left at an extremely bizarre angle. The sword intent brushed past his ear and severed a few strands of hair.

"This guy is actually a sword cultivator."

"He's practically identical to those swordsmen from my previous life."

Tang San's heart trembled slightly.

In the world before his rebirth, apart from the Tang Sect, there had been many other sects.

And among them, the one that Tang Sect feared the most was a sword-cultivating sect.

As far as he knew, many of the Tang Sect's old sect masters had died beneath the swords of sword cultivators!

And now, in this world, he had actually encountered a sword cultivator too!

"Good, good, good. I didn't expect this world to have people proficient in the way of the sword as well."

"Then I'll have to test it. Are my Tang Sect secret arts stronger, or is your swordplay stronger?"

Without hesitation, Tang San pressed in again.

Both his hands turned white as jade at the same time, striking from left and right.

One palm struck toward Li Qinglian's chest, while the other sliced horizontally at his wrist. Paired with the continuous changes of direction from the Ghost Shadow Perplexing Track beneath his feet, his offensive came wave after wave like a tide.

Li Qinglian's sword was faster.

The Green Lotus Sword seemed to come alive in his hand, thrusting straight at times, sweeping up diagonally at times, and slashing horizontally at times.

Sword light wove into an airtight blue-green net, keeping every one of Tang San's palm shadows outside.

Clang clang clang clang clang!

"This guy... his soul power is almost at the bottom, so how are his sword moves still this vicious?"

Tang San gritted his teeth, and the Purple Demon Eye revolved at full force.

Li Qinglian's sword was fast, but fortunately, Tang San had the Purple Demon Eye.

Relying on that eye technique, he was able to dodge Li Qinglian's lethal sword moves in time.

"If I didn't have the Purple Demon Eye, I really might have fallen into Li Qinglian's hands."

Tang San secretly felt relieved.

In this world where soul skills clashed head-on, the boost that a secret art like the Purple Demon Eye gave him in actual combat had already decreased by a great deal.

But against Li Qinglian's airtight sword energy, the Purple Demon Eye instead produced a miraculous effect.

Li Qinglian also keenly sensed this point.

"Purple Demon Eye."

A trace of solemnity surfaced on Li Qinglian's pale cheeks.

By combining the Tang Sect's secret arts with the soul skills of Blue Silver Grass, Tang San unleashed combat power far beyond his own cultivation.

If Li Qinglian had been at his peak, he naturally would not have cared. But now, with almost no soul power left, if he kept dragging this out with Tang San, he would definitely be the loser in the end.

"However!"

"I have my own advantage too."

"I know every one of Tang San's secret arts perfectly. But he knows nothing about my sword."

"I can't wait any longer. Delay will bring changes."

Tang San spotted an opening. His left hand feinted a palm strike to lure Li Qinglian into blocking, while his right hand silently reached toward his waist.

Without anyone noticing, Tang San had already loaded three arrows into his Silent Sleeve Arrow again.

Whoosh whoosh whoosh!

Three streaks of dark light flew from Tang San's fingers, forming a triangle that sealed off Li Qinglian's space to dodge.

One shot straight for his throat, one toward his heart, and another traced a strange arc around to the blind spot at Li Qinglian's back.

Ding!

Ding!

Ding!

Li Qinglian's sword moved faster than his gaze.

His soul power truly had almost nothing left. That one sword move blocking three arrows just now had nearly drained the last of his reserves.

Tang San fell silent for an instant.

Then he gave a low laugh.

"Li Qinglian, you really are strong."

"So I can't let you leave here alive all the more."

Before the words had even fallen, Tang San raised both hands at once, and hidden weapons poured out like a storm filling the sky.

He had made these hidden weapons offhandedly, and they could not compare to the Silent Sleeve Arrow's ingenuity, but they had the advantage of sheer numbers.

More than twenty hidden weapons flew out at the same time, working together with Blue Silver Grass that burst from the earth in every direction, sealing off every one of Li Qinglian's escape routes.

This was a certain-kill attack!

But seeing that Tang San had gone completely mad and thrown all his hidden weapons at him, Li Qinglian's whole body instead loosened.

Before confirming that Tang San had used up every last card, he had not dared rashly use that final move either.

Because even he was not sure whether this move could completely rob Tang San of his ability to fight.

Li Qinglian drew in a deep breath, his chest burning with pain as if on fire.

But the Green Lotus Sword in his hand lit up, shining like the last star before dawn that refused to fall.

"Green Lotus Sword Technique—"

The sword tip trembled lightly.

The illusory image of an azure lotus slowly bloomed above the blade.

Each petal was distinct, layered one upon another, exuding a cold, sharp killing intent.

"Second Form—"

The lotus exploded open.

"Thousand Flowers Burying the Moon!"
