“Snort!” Before Ouyang Chen’s eyes, a strange stone several zhang in size condensed into form, a terrifying mental pressure emanating from the spiritual form of that strange stone, enveloping outwards, even the crowd in the distance felt a powerful sense of mental oppression.
Ouyang Chen lived up to his reputation as the strongest youth of this generation in the Ouyang family, with sixth-grade initial-level spiritual power, yet possessing such formidable might.
“Hmph!” Opposite him, Shangguan Tong let out a cold snort, similarly urging forth her spiritual form.
Sixth-grade intermediate-level spiritual power surged out, condensing into a spiritual power torrent resembling a small river over ten zhang long, surging with rolling spiritual power fluctuations, charging horizontally towards Ouyang Chen through the air, like a small heavenly river, piercing through the void with a terrifying force.
Ouyang Chen’s strange stone spiritual form also shot forth instantly, rushing to block the spiritual power torrent.
Strange stone blocking water, torrent striking stone, the two streams of spiritual power collided directly together.
“Boom sizzle!”
Merely half of the torrent’s impact caused that strange stone to explode apart with a boom, transforming into surging waves of spiritual power that sprayed towards both sides, powerful spiritual power fluctuations rippling outwards, and the spiritual power torrent that had not yet been exhausted continued to surge towards Ouyang Chen.
Seeing this, the crowd was shocked one after another, sixth-grade intermediate-level spiritual power was indeed powerful, even against the battle-proficient Ouyang Chen, this probing attack could not match Shangguan Tong’s power evenly.
“Sizzle!”
Ouyang Chen had already dodged aside during the brief moment that the strange stone spiritual form blocked it, and the torrent that impacted past, now reduced to several zhang, passed through the original position.
However, it had not rushed far before it curved in the void again, turning around to impact towards Ouyang Chen.
Ouyang Chen was unhurried, spiritual power surging out once more, condensing into an earth shield behind him to block that small segment of torrent, and under the counter-rush, that stream of torrent immediately scattered apart.
That earth shield spiritual form did not disappear, but Ouyang Chen no longer controlled it, allowing it to dissipate slowly.
“Sixth-grade intermediate-level spiritual power is indeed not weak!” Ouyang Chen could not help but sigh.
“Sizzle!”
And at this moment, a strand of spiritual sense suddenly rushed towards Ouyang Chen’s brow centre.
However, at the moment it rushed towards his brow centre, he instinctively urged forth a powerful strand of spiritual power, shaking it apart.
Gazing calmly at Shangguan Tong, Ouyang Chen could not help but speak: “Tong’er, you should know that between people of similar strength, there is no opportunity for spirit control.”
Shangguan Tong also frowned slightly, indeed that was the case, both sides being spirit controllers, and with their strengths not differing too greatly, it was difficult to control spirits.
She had merely wanted to try, after all, spirit control was the easiest way to resolve a battle.
Unfortunately, Ouyang Chen’s realm, though one level lower than hers, had powerful spiritual power, making spirit control impossible.
“As for control over spiritual forms, I fear neither of us has much of an advantage, so why not directly unleash our strongest primary spirit attacks, Tong’er, let me see just how powerful your sixth-grade intermediate-level spiritual power’s primary spirit truly is!”
As he spoke, a massive crescent moon spiritual form condensed before Ouyang Chen, terrifying fluctuations centred on the crescent moon spiritual form rippling out in all directions.
An unparalleled mental pressure instantly enveloped the ten directions of heaven and earth, upon that crescent moon spiritual form seemed to gather excessively powerful force, causing the void to tremble as if in agitation.
“Ouyang Chen has directly unleashed his primary spirit!” Someone exclaimed in shock.
“Ouyang Chen is a smart man, the probing strike did not end in a draw, if they continue like this, it would only be pointless consumption, even if there is a chance of victory, Shangguan Tong would exhaust his power, and at that point, it might even give the Ouyang family’s third person an opportunity.” Someone from a family affiliated with the two houses said.
Unleashing various forms of spiritual forms to clash was, in truth, a contest of mastery over spiritual forms, the distribution of power contained in spiritual form shapes, attack angles and so forth, and if experience and mastery were similar, neither side would gain an advantage, only mutually consuming spiritual power.
And what truly decided the strongest combat power was still the primary spirit.
Each person’s primary spirit was different, and so was their power.
Ouyang Chen clearly did not wish to consume spiritual power pointlessly with Shangguan Tong, directly unleashing his strongest spiritual form attack.
After all, the Shangguan family still had a third person, and if spiritual power were exhausted by then, even if he luckily won, he would ultimately lose to the Shangguan family.
“As you wish!”
Shangguan Tong also held nothing back, her sixth-grade intermediate-level spiritual power aura blooming, and a arched ancient bridge over ten zhang long abruptly condensed into form.
This ancient bridge floated in the void, somewhat blurry, yet possessing the charm of a true bridge spanning a river, faintly carrying an aura of enduring ages that had not decayed, and also a poetic and picturesque beauty.
Terrifying mental pressure rippled out from that ancient bridge, the faint fluctuations making it seem as if river water were flowing beneath the ancient bridge.
“Ancient bridge primary spirit, kill!”
Accompanying Shangguan Tong’s soft shout, the entire ancient bridge spiritual form charged horizontally through the air, like an ancient bridge from distant times crossing through space and time, permeated with a wisp of profound and desolate aura of antiquity, smashing towards Ouyang Chen.
“So strong!”
In this instant, the crowd was shocked to the heart one after another, the ancient bridge primary spirit urged forth by sixth-grade intermediate-level spiritual power caused even them, dozens of li away, to feel powerful mental pressure.
The people of the Ouyang family all had grave expressions.
“Stone moon primary spirit!”
At this time, opposite Shangguan Tong, Ouyang Chen also let out a shout, upon that crescent-shaped spiritual form permeated a wisp of yin-cold aura, as if coming from the chill of the night, stirring up a gust of cool wind, booming towards the ancient bridge primary spirit.
“Rumble rumble!”
A rumbling roar sounded, after the two primary spirits collided together, the void seemed to tremble, the two primary spirits instantly shattered apart, transforming into rolling spiritual power fluctuations that surged turbulently in all directions.
And the majority of the spiritual power fluctuations abruptly impacted towards Ouyang Chen, shocking him to retreat far away in a flying tumble, a mouthful of blood spurting from Ouyang Chen’s mouth.
“Ouyang Chen has lost!”
Someone could not help but exclaim in shock.
In the clash of their strongest primary spirit attacks, Ouyang Chen had fallen to the disadvantage, shaken to spit blood, clearly no match for Shangguan Tong.
Even if the battle continued, the result would surely be the same.
After all, Shangguan Tong’s cultivation was one level higher, and the thickness of her spiritual power was probably no less than Ouyang Chen’s.
Unless Ouyang Chen could find a clever trick, but with Shangguan Tong’s strength, there was clearly no flaw for Ouyang Chen to exploit.
The outcome of this battle was already destined.
“We’ve won, we’ve won!” At this moment, the people of the Shangguan family were somewhat agitated.
Having experienced Shangguan Yu’s failure, they had felt disappointment and unwillingness, now with Shangguan Tong about to defeat Ouyang Chen, it gave them a sense of joy from a great comeback, a victory hard-won.
The people of the Ouyang family, however, all had ugly expressions, somewhat unable to accept the scene before them, with Ouyang Chen’s loss, the Ouyang family would have to hand over the Purple Ginseng Medicine Mountain to the Shangguan family.
That was a genuine large medicine mountain, and after the wager was placed, the medicinal materials inside were jointly guarded by people from the Shangguan family, untouchable.
Such a large wager, just thinking about it was heart-wrenching.
On the main platform, Shangguan Xiong also revealed a pleased expression, while Shangguan Rui remained as calm as ever.
And at this time, in the void ahead, somewhat beyond the crowd’s expectations, Shangguan Tong did not speak to demand Ouyang Chen’s surrender, but instead urged forth her primary spirit once more.
The ancient bridge primary spirit condensed into form again, upon the somewhat blurry ancient bridge primary spirit permeated the aura of enduring ages that had not decayed, stirring up ripples of spiritual power fluctuations in the void, charging obliquely into the sky and then obliquely falling to rush out, pressing down towards Ouyang Chen.
Seeing this, the brows of the Ouyang family crowd furrowed one after another, Shangguan Tong wanted to severely injure Ouyang Chen.
And a scene that also surprised the Shangguan family crowd appeared.
