With the power of the five elements, Zhang Ruochen pressed upward . The five powers instantly turned into a band of Spiritual Qi . It spun around his arm quickly, forming a huge vortex .
Boom .
The next moment, the two handprints crashed, creating huge shockwaves . A string of pops burst from the scroll world instantly . Hundreds of words hovered in the sky . They quickly shattered into balls of spiritual fog .
As the words broke, the micro-world formed by the scroll turned unstable . It started shaking .
Had Lin Yue really been repressed? Countless eyes stared at the micro-world on Scroll Mountain . They could only see the fog shrouding Lin Yue's body . They couldn't see the battle clearly at all .
The Demonic Saintess wasn't any weaker than Lin Yue and her cultivation was a level higher too . She'd used the Eight Barren Print Consummate Skill . She might disable Lin Yue .
Whoosh!
Suddenly, five rings of energy waves surged out of the scroll . They turned into tidal waves of five colors and crashed towards Mu Lingxi .
Zhang Ruochen stood upright in the center of the rings . He was like an undefeatable mountain .
The Eight Barren Print was one of the Demonic Sect's top ten Consummate Skills . Naturally, it was extremely powerful and couldn't be destroyed so easily .
Mu Lingxi quickly withdrew her arm . Then she slapped down even faster .
Boom! Her palm enlarged greatly and was filled with icy Qi .
Eight beastly prints emerged from her palm . They glowed faintly with icy light . As divine Qi filled them, the beastly prints flew from her palm . They transformed into eight huge beastly shadows that pressed towards Zhang Ruochen .
The eight beasts were the Ice Python, Ice Winged Dragon, Ice Sky Spider, Ice Silver Wolf, Ice Tortoise, Ice Whale, Ice Snow Tiger, and Ice Phoenix . The eight beastly shadows were beast souls . Each beast soul was at the Half-Saint level .
It was practically impossible for other Fish-dragon Realm Monks to cultivate a Half-Saint beast soul into their palms . Mu Lingxi had her Ice Phoenix Saint Body . Thus, she could use her Ice Phoenix lineage to repress these eight aggressive beast souls and release something as powerful as the Eight Barren Print .
"If you don't use your sword, you'll be defeated!" Mu Lingxi said .
She understood that Zhang Ruochen was only fighting with his handprint because he couldn't bear to use his sword on her .
In the past month, Mu Lingxi had reached the Eighth Change of the Fish-dragon Realm and completed the Eight Barren Print . Her abilities had increased greatly . She wasn't much weaker than Zhang Ruochen .
If Zhang Ruochen used his sword, Mu Lingxi might not be able to block him at the critical moment . If she couldn't and something happened…the consequences would be unimaginable .
Zhang Ruochen looked at the eight beastly shadows pressing down . He was still unfazed and just furrowed his brow . Finally, he tightened his grip on the Golden Snake Divine Rapier .
Waving his arm, a beam of golden Sword Qi burst forth . It drew a huge circle on the ground .
"Sword Two . "
Zhang Ruochen had released the first realm of Sword Two: Alternating Yin and Yang . The sword techniques in this realm were mostly for defense rather than attacks .
As the sword techniques unfurled, a huge disc, dozens of miles wide, formed with Zhang Ruochen as the center . Night and day kept alternating within it . Beams of Sword Qi shot towards the eight beastly images .
Chen Tianpeng, one of the three heirs of the East Region Saint Mansion, complimented, "Lin Yue is indeed a genius of the Tao of the sword . He's already cultivated Sword Two to the first realm . Few have done this in the past millennium . "
Chen Kai shook his head . "I heard that Lin Yue has already cultivated Sword Two to the second realm . "
"The Demonic Saintess' Eight Barren Print is powerful, but anyone can see that Lin Yue is stronger than she is . If he activates Sword Two's second realm and attacks, he can defeat her . "
"It's strange, indeed . Why is he only defending instead of attacking actively?"
"Maybe he wants to, but he doesn't have enough Holy Qi anymore and he can't activate the second realm . After all, he's already defeated a dozen strong fighters along the way . "
"Right! Even the strongest can be exhausted . Furthermore, Lin Yue is only in the Seventh Change of the Fish-dragon Realm . He can't have as much Holy Qi as a Monk in the Eighth or Ninth Change . "
"Lin Yue must have depleted himself in the earlier battles . This time, he's against three members of the Demonic Sect with powerful Saint Bodies . I'm afraid he'll be defeated . "
…
Captain Rat and Snake Two stood beside the 108 King Seats . They looked down, focusing on the battle between Zhang Ruochen and the three from the Demonic Sect .
Captain Rat's eyes shone with demonic light as he stared at Mu Lingxi . "The little Saintess' cultivation speed is shocking . She's actually on Lin Yue's level now . "
Snake Two crossed her arms before his chest . Her small red tongue poked out from her lips . "The Saintess has only recently entered the Eighth Change . There's still a gap between her and Lin Yue . But for some reason, Lin Yue seems unwilling to go hard on her . He keeps letting her off easy . There must be something between them . "
"It doesn't matter . As long as the Saintess can defeat Lin Yue, she'll preserve our sect's reputation . She can also make a name for herself with this battle . "
Captain Rat moved his eyes from the battlefield to Huang Yanchen . He sniggered . "No matter how strong Lin Yue is, he's only a guard . If we take care of his client, it'll be the most effective and drastic move . "
Immediately afterward, Captain Rat flashed . Transforming into a beam of black light, he charged towards Huang Yanchen .
Huang Yanchen felt the dangerous aura above her . She immediately unsheathed her holy sword and stabbed upward as fast as lightning .
Whoosh, whoosh! Immediately, dozens of Sword Qi attacks surged outward . They converged at one point and hit the black shadow .
Boom!
Captain Rat reached a hand out and grabbed the holy sword . Looking at Huang Yanchen from the close proximity, he leered, showing his yellow teeth . "Pretty girl, you react quite quickly, but unfortunately, your cultivation is too low . You sword is only a scratch for me . "
Captain Rat was perverted so he obviously wanted to tease such an ice beauty like Huang Yanchen . But just as he reached towards Huang Yanchen, a cold voice sounded behind him .
"Her sword can't hurt you, but what about mine?"
Captain Rat's neck stiffened . He could clearly feel a metal sword propped against his neck . The coldness coming from the blade practically froze half of his blood .
His hand immediately stopped as his eyes grew cold . "Le! What are you doing?"
Le stood behind Captain Rat, pressing his rusted sword against the other's neck . "Move your dirty hands . "
"You…"
Captain Rat's expression changed, twisting in extreme anger . He didn't fear Le . He just didn't want to anger the man . After all, it was rumored within the Demonic Sect that no one could kill Le, but everyone who he'd had his eyes on was dead .
Who would voluntarily fight with someone like that?
Captain Rat muttered, "You should at least give me a reason to let go of her, right?"
"No reason," Le said .
Whoosh! The metal sword was extremely sharp . It had already gone through Captain Rat's defenses and left a cut on his neck . One could imagine that if Le's hands moved at all, Captain Rat's head would fly off .
"Captain Rat, let go of her," Ouyang Huan ordered personally .
He didn't know why Le wanted to help Huang Yanchen, but he understood Le . He had a reason for everything he did .
Captain Rat was unwilling, but in the end, he still loosened his grip on the holy sword . Huang Yanchen retracted her sword and glanced at Le . Her eyes were filled with confusion .
Finally, she cupped her hands . "Thank you," she said .
Le moved his sword away from Captain Rat's neck . He stabbed it into the book page and rested his hands on the hilt . With unfocused eyes, he said coldly, "Don't thank me . I won't hurt you, but I won't let you and Lin Yue take another step up . "
He continued, "And let me warn you . Lin Yue killed someone from the Divine Sect . They'll definitely punish him . It's best not to travel with him . If you want to go to the King Seat, I can protect you and help you keep your spot . "
Le's words were monotone but shocked everyone present .
"What the heck? Who exactly is Huang Yanchen?"
"It's fine if Lin Yue is willing to be her guard, but how come a swordsman from the Demonic Sect is willing, too?"
"That swordsman apparently doesn't listen to anyone . Even Ouyang Huan can't make him his guard . "
"What does Huang Yanchen have that can make these two sword geniuses want to protect her?"
…
While everyone present was shocked, Huang Yanchen was shocked, too . She would have never expected that such a powerful and young swordsman would say something like that .
Does he have a past with me, too? she thought .
While everyone was discussing animatedly, another young figure started climbing up from the foot of the mountain . He yelled something that multiplied everyone's shock .
"No need to bother the Demonic Sect . I can be Princess Yanchen's guard and help her get a King Seat!"
On the steps was Bu Qianfan in golden armor . He carried a 28-foot-long lance and his long hair spilled down his shoulders . His aura was extremely domineering . He seemed to fly as he charged up Scroll Mountain .
