Meeting in High Spirits, I Drink to You

Each Ji Jie makes a move, it is grand and sweeping, seemingly unstoppable, but in reality, each lightning strike is a double drain on both Law Power and Immortal Foundation foundation.

After all, the current prosperity of the Thunder Dao is entirely due to those few Thunder Bureau Gods.

Meanwhile, the lineage of the True Lord continues unbroken in the Rainbow Clouds Sect.

Although True Lord Xicheng is trapped in Mount Zhongnan, Mount Zhongnan is the birthplace of Rainbow Clouds. True Lord is also Immortal Dao being. Although he is only in Subsidiary Rank, the Subsidiary Rank is much better than the Remaining Rank. Therefore, the Rainbow Clouds path still occupies Manifest Rank in heaven and earth and can exert influence on the Heaven and Earth Rank and earth.

However, the Thunder Bureau Gods in the Investiture of the Gods were unable to exert a comprehensive influence on heaven and earth through the Investiture of the Gods.

Otherwise, the Five Thunders wouldn't have become so weak afterward.

This is no different from the fact that there is no Heaven and Earth Rank.

After all, the power exerted by a person or a person in the Heaven and Earth Rank is completely different depending on the lineage one cultivates.

Although the other party can conserve Law Power by establishing an altar and borrowing the power of the Thunder Bureau, they are still fellow members of the Daoist Gate.

If he can do it, then Su Yao might as well!

In the distance, Ji Jie thought to himself: The Seventh-Grade Heavenly Thunder he cultivated was known for its destructive power. The Five Thunders intimidated all the immortals. Although it did not directly restrain Rainbow Clouds, it still had a slight advantage because Rainbow Clouds was one of the representatives of the immortals.

However, Su Yao on the other side unleashed a constant stream of high-grade Law Technique, and it was clear that he was constantly suppressing something within his dantian with a portion of his Law Power. Despite such a disadvantage, the battle had still managed to reach this point, which was truly astonishing.

At this moment, the crimson-gold Heavenly Thunder in the sky once again coalesced, and the next instant, nine crimson-gold lightning pillars descended from the sky, heading towards Su Yao!

The Ancient Law Artifact- grade Rosy Glow Feather Robe on Su Yao's body now shone brightly alongside the radiant glow formed by the "Guarding Unity Rosy Cloud Robe" with the blessing of Immortal Foundation, creating a dazzling spectacle.

But that's not enough. He can only use that move. As for Law Power, it seems he'll have to rely on Little Red and Little Orange for now.

Before Su Yao could think further, the nine lightning pillars had already arrived before him. In the blink of an eye, Su Yao formed hand Hand Seals and slightly parted his lips:

"Rosy Cloud Embers!"

In an instant, the radiance emanating from Su Yao suddenly dimmed, losing its previous brilliance and instead forming three light curtains around Su Yao.

The lightning bolt crashed down with a deafening roar, as if all sound in the world had been sucked away, leaving only nine streaks of crimson-gold lightning like collapsing pillars of heaven.

The first light barrier shattered instantly, and the exploding fragments of light, like shattered jade flowers, splashed into the Heavenly Thunder tide, only to be swallowed up by the next pillar of lightning before they could even churn.

The second light curtain rippled slightly, and cracks spread across its surface like a spider web. Then, unable to withstand the pressure, it burst into countless fireflies.

The third light barrier caught the final burst of power, and the rosy light trembled violently under the onslaught of lightning.

Su Yao gritted his teeth and, taking advantage of the brief gap created by the two barriers in front, used a wisp of Law Power power to connect with the Prism in his dantian. Then, two streams of Rainbow Clouds Law Power quickly condensed on the two bottom sides and, after being transformed by the Prism, Su Yao's originally parched dantian was filled again. Just as the third light barrier was about to shatter, Su Yao's magic Law Power boiled, stabilizing the thin layer of light barrier bit by bit.

The lightning finally dissipated, and the roar of the heavens and earth suddenly subsided.

Su Yao's face was pale, and the Clear Breeze in his hand was still trembling. He slowly took a breath, his five fingers gripping the hilt of the sword loosened and tightened slightly, and a sense of exhaustion rose up along his meridians.

"What a brilliant 'Ember of the Rosy Cloud Embers '!" Ji Jie's voice came from ahead, clearly panting. "This is the first time I've seen Law Technique; its rank is quite high."

Su Yao didn't reply, but simply straightened up, his body swaying slightly.

Looking up, the lightning on the Ji Jie's Purple Gold Token had clearly dimmed, indicating that the nine lightning pillars had exerted considerable force just now.

The collision just now was the result of the two going head-to-head, and neither of them gained the upper hand.

Ji Jie glanced at the token, then at Su Yao's expression, remained silent for a moment, then flipped his wrist, and the token hovered in front of him again. Crimson-gold lightning condensed once more, slowly transforming into a slender lightning spear, its tip crackling with light.

But the arc of light flickered and was no longer as intense and dazzling as before.

"Let's deliver the final blow." Ji Jie's tone was decisive, yet also somewhat frank. "If we drag this out any longer, neither of us will suffer."

Su Yao glanced at him, said nothing, and simply nodded.

He closed his eyes, held the Clear Breeze horizontally in front of his chest, and slowly stroked the blade with his fingertips.

Strands of rosy light followed the finger marks and condensed into the spine of the sword, giving the blade a very faint glow, not dazzling, but serene, like the last glimmer of twilight on the horizon.

Ji Jie took a deep breath, grasped the lightning spear with his right hand, and poured the last bit of magic power into it. The spear suddenly trembled, and lightning burst forth, intertwining with crimson and gold, before transforming into a thin stream of light that aimed straight for Su Yao's heart.

Where the light passed, the air emitted a low hum, as if the heavens and earth were turning their heads in awe.

Su Yao opened his eyes, and the rosy light emanated from them. Clear Breeze's sword also lit up with a last glimmer of light under the reflection of the lightning.

He did not retreat, but stepped forward with his left foot, held his sword horizontally, and thrust it out in the direction from which the thunder spear was coming.

The tips of swords and spears, one radiant with dawn and the other thunderous with lightning, one crimson gold and the other twilight, met with a thunderous crash at the furthest and closest distance between the two.

Lightning exploded, scattering light in all directions like shooting stars and streaks of fire; a wisp of rosy light swept across, stripping away layers of lightning wherever it passed.

In an instant, the lightning dissipated, and the Ji Jie lightning spear shattered from its tip, turning into specks of golden fireflies that scattered in the wind.

The tip of Clear Breeze's sword, carrying a few rays of rosy light, stopped three inches in front of Ji Jie's chest.

Ji Jie glanced down at the glowing sunset, remained silent for a moment, then released his right hand. The lightning on the token completely extinguished. He slowly exhaled a breath of stale air, looked up, and showed a hint of astonishment, but no resentment.

"... A fine sword."

He paused after saying those two words, as if he wanted to say something more, but ultimately didn't speak. He simply put the token back into his sleeve, took half a step back, and cupped his hands in a respectful gesture.

"I lost."

As Su Yao sheathed Clear Breeze, his wrist finally trembled slightly, unable to stop himself from doing so.

The two looked at each other, then smiled, and Ji Jie turned and headed back the way they came.

Su Yao watched the other person walk away until they were almost out of sight, then the sound of Ji Jie drifted over:

"Fellow Daoist Su, you are welcome to visit Penglai someday."

He paused:

"Our meeting today was hasty; when we meet again, I will surely have wine with me. Let's drink a whole jug first, and then we'll fight!"

Su Yao smiled and said:

"Alright, I've got it all figured out, Penglai Immortal Wine."

Ji Jie did not turn back, but paused in her steps, inwardly cursing Su Yao for being a heartless son, yet still raised her hand in response.

Then the figure disappeared into the forest and was never seen again.

Su Yao then withdrew his gaze and muttered something to himself, though it was unclear who he was speaking to:

"We meet with high spirits, and drink for you; our horses are tethered by the willows above the tall building."

After speaking, he anxiously looked up at the sky.
