A Bitter Battle

The battle between the Fire Sparrow and the Thunder Dragon continued in mid-air, their cries echoing. The rosy light and crimson runes eroded each other, exploding into patches of white mist that shattered the view.

Su Yao's gaze darkened slightly. He flipped his right hand, Zhengji into his Storage Bag, and then took Clear Breeze into his hand.

Although the Zhengji is good, it is a magic sword, mainly for casting spells rather than close-quarters sword fighting.

Clear Breeze is different. This sword is Ancient Law Artifact of the Wind Shaping Dao. Among the Four Winds, Wind Shaping is the most powerful in killing. It combines Law Technique with Swordsmanship, performs Technique Sword, and then uses the momentum to adjust the Movement Method.

This is his preferred fighting style, and it's also the most Law Power fighting style currently available.

After all, within the Qi Sea, the white lotus was still enveloping the demonic seed, constantly consuming nearly 20% of its Law Power and mental energy.

Then, the "Mysterious Floating Body" was activated in response to the thought. Su Yao's figure was like a streak of flowing clouds. As he passed through the gap between the intersecting thunder and fire, the light of the clouds intensified, and the thunder and fire could not get close. Then he rushed straight towards Ji Jie.

Ji Jie's gaze sharpened, and instead of retreating, he advanced, flipping the token in his hand upwards. Crimson lightning tore through the sky and descended, blocking Su Yao's path of charge.

Su Yao had anticipated this. He slightly tilted the Clear Wind Sword, and the Sword Qi merged with the Law Technique "Glow Ashes," transforming into a thin rainbow light that pierced through the gap in the lightning curtain and stabbed straight at Ji Jie's chest.

The killing power of "Glow Ashes" condensed with the Sword Qi, and this sword strike came quickly and fiercely, as if the roar of the crimson-gold lightning curtain in front of it was providing cover for it.

Ji Jie frowned slightly, took a half step back with her left foot, and the shadows of the green forest reappeared around her.

The rainbow light crashed into the shadows of the forest, shattering layer by layer, but ultimately failing to break through the last layer. Ji Jie's body swayed slightly, taking two steps back, but her expression remained unchanged.

"A fine sword," he praised, his tone devoid of any panic. With a flick of his wrist, the lightning around the purple-gold token receded, then reappeared.

The next moment, a deep thunderclap resounded between heaven and earth, like the low roar of a blue dragon.

Su Yao's heart skipped a beat, and he quickly created distance. With the blessing of his immortal Immortal Foundation, the "Guarding Unity Rosy Cloud Robe" on his body shone even more brilliantly.

He thought to himself:

Immortal Foundation Established by Heavenly Thunder [Rebuke the Disloyal]!

"The Xia dynasty committed many sins, and Heaven decreed its destruction... I fear the Supreme God and dare not be unjust."

At the end of summer, King Xia was tyrannical. At that time, True Lord of the Heavenly Thunder Fruit level wrote to the Heavenly Emperor to accuse King Xia. After the Heavenly Emperor verified the accusation, he sent the True Lord to punish him.

And an imperial edict was issued:

"A ruthless and fierce official, whose power shakes heaven and earth... Anyone who dares to disobey will be summoned to the imperial palace."

Afterwards, the True Lord descended upon the Xia capital with an imperial decree. The Xia King was filled with fear and unease, and committed suicide to atone for the divine grace.

This method is most effective at striking at the heart, especially since the token in the opponent's hand is probably something similar to the Zhengji.

It's not just about destroying one's spirit, but also about Heavenly Thunder!

At this moment, a figure wreathed in crimson-gold lightning appeared behind Ji Jie, holding a lightning spear in his right hand and an imperial edict in his left.

With a command from the Ji Jie, the giant shadow behind him swung its lightning spear and thrust it towards Su Yao.

Although Su Yao was terrified, the Zhengji reappeared in his hand, the Method Formula changed, and the morning glow and golden palace appeared above Su Yao Su Yao.

Su Yao has not yet mastered this Law Technique; currently, he can only transform it into a shower of rosy clouds and a pavilion of rosy clouds to protect himself.

Though Heavenly Thunder is mighty, Rainbow Clouds are also detached from the world, untouched by anything!

All of this happened in the blink of an eye.

The next moment, the rosy light and the thunder spear collided with a deafening roar.

The pavilion formed by the Golden Palace Morning Clouds trembled violently under the impact of the thunder spear, and the Heavenly Clouds spread like ripples across the sky. Su Yao's figure was shaken back several feet.

The thunder spear retreated only half an inch before pressing down again.

Su Yao's gaze darkened. Facing such an opponent, he dared not make any moves as casually as he had when facing the Hepu Witch Tribe, Noon Sparrow Mountain, and the Lu Household. After all, his Law Power was limited at the moment, and the Zhengji Sword did not contain Law Technique.

Otherwise, Su Yao would have unleashed all sorts of Law Technique as if they were free.

Zhengji Sword was put into Storage Bag, Clear Breeze held it in his hand again.

With his right hand slightly tilted, a thin, hair-like rainbow light condensed from the tip of the sword, winding like a wisp of silk towards the hilt of the lightning spear. Ji Jie's pupils contracted slightly, and with a shake of the lightning spear, crimson-gold lightning exploded, scattering the rainbow light.

But as the rainbow light was shattered, Su Yao's figure transformed into a wisp of rosy cloud, bypassing the lightning spear and heading straight for the left side of Ji Jie.

The breeze trembled slightly, and three fine sword auras formed from the tip of the sword, staggering away in the shape of the word "pin".

Ji Jie frowned slightly, took out a bowl, and hung it above his head. The crimson-gold lightning net around him suddenly expanded, blocking all three Sword Qi.

The Sword Qi dissipated upon contact with the lightning net, but in the instant the Sword Qi vanished, Su Yao had already taken advantage of the gap in the lightning explosion to get close to Ji Jie's side.

Clear Breeze swept across, coating the sword with a thin layer of rosy light. Ji Jie dodged to the side, flicked her left finger, and a bolt of purple lightning shot out from the emerald ring on her middle finger, short and whip-like, striking Su Yao's wrist holding the sword.

Su Yao turned his wrist to sheathe his sword, slightly turned his body, and took a half-step to create distance.

With this pull and retreat, he barely avoided the short lightning bolt, but his left shoulder was still hit by the aftershock, Guarding Unity Rosy Cloud Robe.

Ji Jie didn't pursue, it simply stood still, its gaze towards Su Yao becoming more serious.

It seems you're suppressing something in your dantian.

He paused, his tone slightly somber:

"Otherwise, given the skill level of your sword strike just now, you shouldn't have avoided it so forcefully."

Upon hearing this, Su Yao neither denied it nor denied it, but simply smiled:

"Brother, you have a good eye."

Having said that, he subtly turned the Clear Breeze in his hand, the tip of which pointed diagonally at the ground, and said no more.

Ji Jie did not ask any further questions. He raised the token high, and another bolt of crimson-gold lightning descended.

Su Yao swayed, creating distance the instant the lightning struck, and several Sword Qi shot out in succession, dispersing the approaching aftershocks of the lightning one by one.

The lightning of the Ji Jie continued unabated. The Heavenly Thunder was known for its power, and with the blessing of Immortal Foundation [Rebuke the Disloyal] Immortal Law Technique was reduced by three-tenths. Although Su Yao was fast, he suffered from the shortcomings of the Dao lineage, and his destructive power could not compare with the Heavenly Thunder. In the end, he could not break through the forest shield formed by the feather robe on the Ji Jie.

After a short while, Su Yao unleashed a variety of Law Technique, but his Law Power was beginning to wane.

Another half cup of tea.

The Ji Jie lightning spear solidified once more, this time not as a test, but as a full-force attack. The lightning at the spear tip surged like a reversed galaxy, crashing down upon Su Yao.

Su Yao parried with his sword, the light of the Clear Wind Sword into a distinct arc. White mist billowed from the point where the rosy light and lightning collided, and the rocks beneath his feet cracked inch by inch in the aftershocks.

His body was slowly pressed down, his knees slightly bent.

"You can't hold on much longer."

The sounds of the Ji Jie came from the lightning.

Su Yao did not answer.

He was indeed nearing his limit, but he knew that Ji Jie's Law Power must have been mostly depleted by now.

The Heavenly Thunder, no, neither Heavenly Thunder nor the other four types of Thunder, has declined in the Immortal Dao since the Zhou Dynasty. The powerful Thunders of the past have all lacked successors; their current power is entirely due to the few deities listed on the Investiture of the Gods of the Gods, who maintain the Five Thunders ' current prestige.

But the Divine Lord is ultimately Divine Dao, not Immortal Dao.

Therefore, to this day, all immortal Immortal Dao who practice the Five Thunders technique are initially successful but lack staying power.

This subtly aligns with the Five Thunders Immortal Dao Daoist tradition's initial prosperity followed by decline.

This is also a common problem with the Five Thunders Method today. Daozheng once mentioned it to him when he was explaining the "Orthodox Method of the Five Thunders":

Those who seize the initiative first will inevitably lack the strength to sustain it later.

The opponent was waiting for Su Yao to run out of Law Power, but Su Yao was also waiting for the opponent to run out of Law Power!

Now it's a matter of who can withstand the pressure longer.
