Facing Li Ze
A small gust of wind and clouds rose in the sky, and soon raindrops began to fall.
Shen Ge looked at his torn clothes, his expression turning slightly solemn as he activated the Golden Light Incantation. These raindrops weren't rain at all; they were all Sword Qi shaped like raindrops.
Chu He waved his hand, and countless stones gathered towards him, instantly forming a suit of armor that covered his body. Then he asked Li Ze, "What's the name of this move? It not only has a large range, but the damage is also quite good."
"The Gloomy Rain Sword, this is only the first level. You two, the second level is coming soon." Li Ze smiled faintly, his hands Hand Seals. Soon, the rain became heavier and heavier, and the previous drizzle quickly turned into raindrops the size of thumbs. Not only that, these raindrops could even slow down one's senses.
However, this had no effect on Shen Ge. Under the cover of the Golden Light Incantation, the raindrops were dissolved by the golden light before they even got close to him, and could not harm him at all.
Li Ze looked at Shen Ge with interest and chuckled, "Fellow Daoist Shen, your defensive technique is quite good, rather interesting."
"Really?" Shen Ge's lips curled into a smile. "I'll show you something even more interesting."
As soon as he finished speaking, Shen Ge unleashed a giant lightsaber that shot down towards Li Ze like lightning.
"Bang~"
Li Ze propped himself up with one hand, and a protective shield rippling with water blocked the lightsaber.
Shen Ge's attack was actually caught by him with one hand. As expected of the new senior disciple of the Evergreen Sect, his strength is absolutely genuine.
Although Li Ze seemed to easily receive the attack, his hand trembled slightly from time to time, clearly indicating that he was not as relaxed as he appeared.
"Your Giant Que Sword from Divine Sword Peak is quite powerful."
"Fellow Daoist Li Ze, you're getting a bit arrogant. How about I call my senior sister to spar with you sometime when I have some free time?" Shen Ge smiled faintly and raised his hand, causing the beam of light to instantly disperse into countless tiny flying swords, rushing towards Li Ze from all directions.
"By the way, I didn't say it was the Giant Que Sword, did you hear me shout that?"
Li Ze's face darkened. He had guessed wrong and felt a little embarrassed. He glared at Shen Ge, then raised his hand and summoned a water sphere to envelop himself.
The tiny flying swords struck the water sphere and vanished as if ice were melting in water, causing no harm whatsoever to Li Ze.
"Shen..." Li Ze began to speak, but the approaching stone spear made his eyes narrow sharply. "Damn it!"
After muttering a curse under his breath, Li Ze immediately increased his spiritual energy output, further reinforcing the water sphere shield.
After doing all this, the stone spear pierced the water sphere directly, causing it to cave in completely, looking as if it were about to collapse and break at any moment.
The stone spear, carrying the water ball, propelled itself a distance before finally stopping when it was completely exhausted.
But their attack was not over yet. Shen Ge summoned five flying sword phantoms to surround Li Ze. At the same time, Chu He was not idle either. He knew that the stone spear would hardly hurt Li Ze, so he summoned a mountain phantom. This was the Heaven -Heaven-Overturning Seal, a Spirit Moon Sect earth-type Spirit Root technique of the Lingyue Sect. Of course, the mountain formed by Chu He was not much weaker than Qin Yu's.
Li Ze did not break through the water sphere shield. He knew everything that was happening outside. At this moment, his expression was solemn, and he said in a low voice, "It seems I underestimated the two of you."
"Watery Kingdom!"
Countless dark clouds rose in the sky, and in the blink of an eye, a torrential downpour began. Countless raindrops struck the illusory mountain peak, chiseling away at the entire peak like chisels, causing rocks to fly everywhere. In no time, the mountain peak shrank several times in size.
Chu He knew he couldn't wait any longer, so he raised his hand and pressed down, and the mountain peak, carrying the force of rolling wind and thunder, crashed down on Li Ze.
At the same time, Shen Ge also raised his hand and made a grasping motion. The five flying sword phantoms launched a dense array of flying swords, just like a sword nest. These flying swords were fast, ruthless, and accurate, and their target was Li Ze in the water sphere.
"Heaven-Overturning Seal, Five Sword Nests, you two are quite skilled, but this is not enough!" After saying that, Li Ze's eyes hardened, and countless raindrops in the air gathered to form water beasts that roared and attacked Shen Ge and Chu He.
This is the second level of the Marshland Kingdom. Originally, he did not intend to use this level, but since the other party had used their best skills, he could not hold back anymore. Otherwise, it would be truly embarrassing for him, as the senior disciple of the Evergreen Sect, to be defeated by two unknown people.
The water beasts were able to defend against Shen Ge and his companion's attacks, so Li Ze was not harmed for the time being.
Shen Ge dodged to the side by avoiding the gaping maw of a water dragon, but the dragon's tail lashed out at an unusual angle, catching Shen Ge off guard.
It must be water that made it possible to create an attack angle that doesn't fit a dragon's body.
Chu He shattered a crane with a single sword strike and quickly descended to catch Shen Ge, who was falling rapidly. "Be careful. Don't define these water beasts as beasts. Ultimately, they are all water."
Shen Ge rubbed his slightly aching chest and grinned, "Don't worry, Senior Brother Chu, I may not have any other skills, but I'm tough and resilient!"
Chu He nodded, leaped forward and took care of the more threatening water beasts, leaving only the weaker ones for Shen Ge.
At the highest point of the Evergreen Sect, several figures were drinking tea and chatting, while a young man was serving them tea and water.
This young man was none other than Ye Xingchen. Despite his reputation as a genius, he was now serving these people like a servant.
However, he wasn't particularly angry, because everyone sitting there was Nascent Soul Realm expert. He was only able to serve tea and water because his master had brought him along; otherwise, no one else would have had this opportunity.
Putting everything else aside, once this is done, those big shots won't be stingy, right? They'll definitely give you something in return. Even if they don't, it'll be good to get on their good side.
Just as Daoist Qingguang was about to drink a cup of tea, he suddenly stopped what he was doing, looked at Ziyang, and laughed, "Ziyang, your disciple doesn't look injured at all. He's full of energy and seems to be able to take a beating more than anyone else."
"Indeed, that kid doesn't look injured at all. I wish he really wasn't hurt. What a pity." Ziyang calmly took a sip of tea, his tone tinged with regret.
"Hey, Fellow Daoist Ziyang, you can't say that. After all, he's still a genius disciple, and it's not appropriate to give up like this. However, you can't go to the Abyss of Gods and Devils Abyss. Here's what we've got: our sect has some ancient books that record the customs and landscapes of tens of thousands of years ago. Take a look and see if you can find any sect ruins. That's much safer than you venturing into the Gods and Devils Abyss."
"In that case, thank you very much, fellow Daoist." Ziyang said politely.
"Ziyang, to be honest, instead of messing around with these uncertain things, you should just find that kid a woman and let him go out and establish his Lineage. That way, your Spirit Moon Sect might have more genius disciples in the future. Besides, the Spirit Severing Pill is so precious; even we can't get it. Giving it to that kid to treat his injuries is simply a waste of its resources."
"Among those of us present, who is inferior to those nominal geniuses? Genius is merely an advantage in cultivation; whether they can ultimately grow into true masters is uncertain," another Nascent Soul Realm cultivator from the Evergreen Sect suggested.
Ziyang nodded and said, "Fellow Daoist, what you said is a good idea. I'll consider it."
