“Since that’s the case, I’ll come to learn Brother Si’s masterstroke.”
Zhang Tiangui’s arms unfolded, his true qi spreading under his feet as he smoothly flew up and landed on top of the lake more than twenty feet away, treading on the water until the centre of the lake, before stopping.
“Puffing!”
The water in the lake surged up and condensed into ice.
A few moments later, a huge crystalline ice mountain appeared underneath Zhang Tiangui’s feet, suspended on the surface of the lake.
Zhang Tiangui stood at the highest point of the iceberg, his true qi surging out from his body, completely blending with the iceberg, and even with the entire great lake, indistinguishable from each other.
His body did not have any flaws, and he could even use the “potential” of the Great Lake to suppress opponents who broke into the Great Lake.
The real masters absolutely, not just their own power competition, but also than the use of the environment, the grasp of the mentality.
Chang Qi Qi’s heart jumped, looking at the ancient well standing in the centre of the lake Zhang Tian Gui, simply have a feeling of looking at the statue of God in the temple, the heart born fear.
In such a situation, there was no need to make a move at all, Zhang Tiangui would be able to crush Chang Qi Qi’s confidence.
“Will Eldest Brother be a match for Zhang Tianwei?” For the first time, Chang Qi Qi was sceptical, her eyes looking towards Si Xingkong, curious as to how Si Xingkong would be able to break Zhang Tian Gui’s ‘momentum’?
“Worthy of being Zhang Tianwei, one can’t help but admire him. Haha!” Si Xingkong lifted the lid of the gourd and tilted his head back to drink a mouthful of Burning Knife Drunk, then, he violently took a step on the ground.
“Boom!”
The ground beneath Si Xingkong’s feet cracked, forming a crack in the ground that spread towards the large lake twenty feet away.
“Wow!”
The crack in the ground became a full two metres wide and over thirty feet long, connecting with the great lake. The lake water, immediately surged over.
Not only did the ground seam tear apart the ground, it also tore apart Zhang Tiangui’s aura that he had condensed with the Great Lake.
“Boom!”
Si Xingkong’s body collapsed like a bow, and a bow sound was emitted from within his body, which was the tendons and veins vibrating.
His body was like an arrow shot out, rushing above the Great Lake and attacking Zhang Tianwei directly.
The bow sound just now shook Chang Qi Qi and Luo Cheng’s eardrums, making them dizzy and appalled.
“Thousand Handed War God!”
Zhang Tiangui stretched one hand out, his true qi surging as his arm transformed into a shadow, becoming more than thirty metres long, forming countless hand shadows, either making hand seals, striking fists, or pointing out finger forces.
Si Xingkong laughed aloud, directly breaking into the thousands of hand shadows.
A fist struck out, and its energy was like a dragon and tiger roaring, shaking the surface of the lake with waves.
Standing on the shore, Chang Qi Qi tried to keep her eyes wide open, her eyes hurt from watching, but she couldn’t see the shadows of Sihangkong and Zhang Tianwei at all.
“Boom!”
That one iceberg shattered, and the two silhouettes suddenly separated, as if they were flying geese in the wind, lightly landing in two different directions on the great lake.
“Awesome! In just one move, you broke thousands of my hand seals.” Zhang Tiangui stood on the water surface, and another ice mountain coalesced under his feet.
“Battle!”
Si Xingkong threw his second punch, and the waves of water in the entire large lake, completely tumbling, rushed out once again.
On the surface of the lake, at first there were only two shadows, a moment later, four shadows appeared ……, and finally, it completely turned into countless shadows, like there were a thousand armies fighting on the surface of the lake.
Chang Qi Qi and Luo Cheng had already been shocked beyond words.
“It’s the same Earth Extreme Realm Grand Circle realm, why is the difference so great?” Luo Cheng tightly squeezed his five fingers, his heart and mind stirred, it was simply unimaginable that under the Heavenly Extremity Realm, it was possible to cultivate power to such an extent.
On the surface of the lake, the two silhouettes separated once again.
Until this time, Chang Qi Qi and Luo Cheng, who were standing by the lake, were discovering that the hundreds of metres long lake, under the influence of the true qi of the two great experts, had completely frozen and turned into an ice lake.
“Six moves are over. In the next move, the winner will be decided.”
Si Xingkong’s long hair was dazzling, his body’s aura was magnificent, every inch of his skin turned golden, he took a deep breath, and in an instant, the aura of a mile in a radius was completely drained and sucked into his body.
Sensing the powerful aura on Si Xingkong’s body, Zhang Tian Gui drew circles with both hands, and six pillars of light shot out from his body, simultaneously evolving into six Spirit Grade Martial Skills, either overbearing, bizarre, dexterous, or destructive.
“Rumble!”
The two forces collided together, and the large lake, which had already been frozen into solid ice, immediately shattered into pieces of ice crystal fragments.
The entire earth, too, followed suit and shook gently.
Zhang Tianwei flew backwards and crashed into the lake, his body sliding backwards tens of metres in a row, leaving a long track mark on the ground, completely plunging into the mud from the waist down.
“Puh!”
A mouthful of blood was spat out from Zhang Tianwei’s mouth.
His gaze was a little bleak, tasting defeat for the first time since he was a child, his eyes stared towards Si Xingkong in the distance, and he said with great difficulty, “I …… I lost ……”
Si Xingkong laughed, “Your cultivation has only just reached the Earth Extremity Realm Great Circle, while I have been consolidating at the Earth Extremity Realm Great Circle for three years. If I haven’t broken through to the Heavenly Extremity Realm after three years, then I will definitely be no match for you. Senior brother Chang, let’s go.”
Chang Qi Qi looked at the crumbling great lake in front of him, his heart shook, “Is this the power that a human can exert?”
“Let’s go!”
Si Xingkong patted Chang Qi Qi’s shoulder, and the two of them walked side by side, quickly disappearing into the wind and snow.
With a very worshipful look, Chang Qi Qi looked at Si Xingkong and said, “Eldest Senior Brother, you are also too powerful! With your strength, even with your bare hands, you can still kill a Heavenly Extreme Realm Martial Myth, right? What bullsh*t first genius, in your hands, it’s simply unbeatable.”
“Pfft!”
Si Xingkong had just taken a sip of wine, and before he could swallow it, he immediately spat it out, and it was actually scarlet blood.
“Eldest Brother …… Eldest Brother, what happened to you?” Chang Qiqi immediately went up to assist Si Xingkong, very nervous, simply not expecting that Eldest Senior Brother had also been injured.
Si Xingkong’s face was a little white, wiping away the blood at the corner of his mouth, revealing a hint of a smile, saying, “It’s not a problem, just a little injury. It’s just that I didn’t expect that Zhang Tiangui would already be so powerful, at most, in another year, if I don’t break through the Heavenly Extremity Realm, I will no longer be his opponent.”
“Zhang Tiangui is actually this powerful?” Chang Qi Qi said.
Si Xingkong said, “I am now a Third Jie and a half, but Zhang Tiangui has already reached the Fourth Jie, all thanks to the fact that my base is deeper than his, which is why I was able to beat him in this encounter. You only saw us dueling for seven moves, however, I used my full strength in every move, it was incredibly treacherous, and if I wasn’t careful, I might have lost in his hands.”
“Zhang Tiangui is actually a Four Greatest Genius?”
Chang Qi Qi said, “Even Senior Luo Xu, at his most stunning, was only a Fourth Jade and a half.”
“Otherwise, how could he be called the first genius of the 36 counties of the Heavenly Demon Ridge?” Si Xingkong’s face was a bit grave as he said, “With the natural talent that Zhang Tiangui has displayed, if there are any more miraculous encounters, in the future, he might be able to equal senior Luo Xu and become a Four Jiehuang and a half heavenly pride as well.”
Chang Qiqi said, “A year from now, wouldn’t there no longer be anyone in the younger generation of the entire Heavenly Demon Ridge’s thirty-six counties who would be Zhang Tiangui’s opponent?”
“That’s not necessarily so. ” Si Xingkong laughed, “We have a lot of talent in the Martial City Palace, Luo Shuihan and Zhang Ruochen are both Four Great Geniuses, and will definitely be able to compete with Zhang Tiangui in the future. Besides, it’s not certain that I can also have a strange encounter and reach the level of a Four Extreme Genius in one fell swoop …… although the chances are slim. Ahem!”
Si Xingkong re-stood straight and said, “With Zhang Tiangui’s injuries, even with the aid of healing pills, it is estimated that within three months, the injuries will be very difficult to heal, so how can you go forward to the King’s City without fear, and deal with the experts of the Black Market and the Moon Worshipping Demon Sect. It is said that the Little Holy Maiden of the Moon Worshipping Demon Cult has appeared in the King City, so it’s a good idea to go and meet her. I also wonder who is stronger when she is compared to Zhang Tiangui?”
“Eldest senior brother, you still want to fight someone? Your injuries ……” Chang Qiqi said.
“It’s not like I’m heavily injured, I can heal after drinking two pots of wine. What? You do not believe? Is it possible that I can walk as if I’m flying even if I’m holding onto you?”
Chang Qi Qi shook her head, expressing her disbelief.
Si Xingkong grabbed Chang Qi Qi’s shoulder and rushed out with a swoosh, and Chang Qi Qi’s sharp cry resounded in the air once again.
Two hundred miles away, Zhang Ruochen had just broken through the realm, reaching the middle stage of the Earth Extreme Realm.
“Broke through the realm?”
Shen Feng stood ten paces away, slightly surprised, not expecting the other party to break through the realm in the middle of a battle.
Even if he broke through the realm, so what, could he still be stronger than him?
“Wind and Fire Lian Tian.”
Shen Feng’s eyes were firm, confident in his cultivation, and the Red Flame Halberd in his hand slightly sank as he executed the second move.
He even borrowed the wind and fire momentum of the “Hundred Zhang Prairie Fire” and “Hundred Zhang Incoming Wind” performed by Zhang Ruochen and Huang Yichen, and the Red Flame Halberd rotated in the air, twisting and entangling the wind and fire together, stabbing towards Zhang Ruochen.
Zhang Ruochen no longer dodged, holding the sword with one hand and shaking his arm, the Sinking Abyss Ancient Sword travelled above the Red Flame Halberd, drawing away the power from the halberd completely, and chopping at Shen Feng’s left wrist with a single strike.
“Just breaking through one realm, how did his speed become so much faster?” Shen Feng’s face changed in shock, if his left wrist was also chopped off, then he would have no choice but to tie his hands.
As a last resort, Shen Feng could only scatter his hands, abandoning the Red Flame Halberd and retreating rapidly.
Zhang Ruochen could not give him a chance to retreat, swinging his sword across and chopping at Shen Feng’s leg.
“Pfft!”
Blood flashed.
Shen Feng’s legs were chopped off and he fell in a pool of blood, a miserable scream escaped his mouth, until this time, he did not understand why Zhang Ruochen had become so much stronger.
At the very beginning, the reason why Shen Feng was able to suppress Zhang Ruochen was because his speed was much faster than Zhang Ruochen’s, reaching one hundred and thirty-five metres per second, while Zhang Ruochen’s speed was only one hundred and fifteen metres per second.
No matter how superior Zhang Ruochen’s sword technique was and how marvellous his stance was, the disadvantage in speed was too great, and it would simply be impossible to be Shen Feng’s opponent.
With the realm breakthrough, Zhang Ruochen’s speed immediately reached one hundred and forty metres per second, which was even faster than Shen Feng, so naturally, he was able to easily defeat Shen Feng through his subtle sword strokes.
Shen Feng, who had broken both of his legs, was considered to have completely lost his combat power.
In order to maintain the “Hundred Zhang Come Wind” vision, Huang Yichen’s true qi was greatly consumed, seeing that Zhang Ruochen had ruined Shen Feng, he immediately withdrew his true qi, his body was drenched in sweat, panting and said, “Zhang Ruochen, we must leave immediately.”
“I’m afraid it’s not that easy to leave.”
Ten feet away in the snow, three silhouettes suddenly flew up, holding long swords as they attacked towards Zhang Ruochen.
The three people were all at the cultivation level of the Earth Extremity Realm, and their speed was extremely fast, and with the fact that they were only ten feet away from Zhang Ruochen, they rushed behind Zhang Ruochen in almost just a split second, and their swords stabbed straight at Zhang Ruochen’s vest.
