Chapter 192: Chapter 121: Clear the Field

The giant pit was shrouded in a misty light, with blood-stained ground at its edges, creating an exceptionally tense atmosphere.

No one expected that at the very last moment, one incident after another would arise.

Everyone was dissatisfied, some were furious, others had a surging killing intent, while some sighed with regret, some were stunned, and even more were near madness.

Li Qingxu’s eyes were bloodshot. He had almost reached out and grabbed it, just a hair’s breadth away from fleeing with the Furnace of Eight Trigrams and becoming the ultimate winner.

"Who?!" He had an urge to kill. Three times, he had been so close, and if he could have touched it just once, he could have ended the competition.

He knew that there would probably not be a fourth chance. Watching the Close Immortal Item slip through his fingers was an excruciating feeling of regret that could shatter anyone’s composure.

He burst into an aura of Purple Mist, swinging the Purple Bamboo Stick in his hand, smashing a four-meter-high greenstone boulder into pieces!

At this moment, Tang Xumi’s face was filled with murderous intent, as someone close to him had betrayed him, striking him unexpectedly and stealing the Furnace of Eight Trigrams. This was like being kicked down from the glorious clouds, the feeling of the fall was too great, coupled with an immense sense of humiliation.

Fortunately for him, the Close Immortal Item was flying back in his direction again!

Furious Tang Xumi was astonished, followed by elation. What absurdity was this? It was outrageous!

After changing its trajectory, the Furnace of Eight Trigrams had landed in the hands of an elite disciple, who was instantly dumbfounded, not at all delighted but terrified.

Because in this highly tense situation, where one breath could ignite the atmosphere, holding the item was akin to carrying a death sentence. Holding on to it for a moment longer could mean your head would be smashed into a pulp, thankfully, his reaction was quick, throwing it away immediately.

Although Li Qingyue appeared, not many noticed her, as she was disguised as a Golden Armor Guard wearing a gold mask.

It has to be said that the young Lu Zhen from the Yin Yang Temple was incredibly powerful. He had already withdrawn from the battle, but now with his hands emitting Black and White Light, he attacked again to seize the Furnace of Eight Trigrams.

In front of Lu Zhen, whether it was Golden Armor Guards or Fangwai Sect disciples, all were overturned by him. The Yin Yang Power erupted between his hands, emitting a black and white Heavenly Light that no one could block.

Moreover, his Yin Yang Black and White Light had a mysterious feature, it could not only kill people but also sweep away various Spiritual Objects.

Not far away, someone exerted all their strength to throw a Spirit Spear crafted from Thunderstruck Wood at him, whirring through the air. It was instantly brushed aside and ground to dust by the Black and White Light.

"You dare to come back!" Tang Xumi roared in rage, having grabbed the Close Immortal Item, with surging killing intent and Consciousness Spiritual Light boiling.

In an instant, Lu Zhen and Tang Xumi clashed, the nature of the Yin Yang Light fully changed, with the black light vanishing and becoming pure Extreme Yang, like the fire of the great sun, burning fiercely.

Those Fangwai Sect disciples who had been knocked down stood up only to be driven back in shock again, afraid to approach. They contracted their Consciousness Spiritual Light, fearing it would be ignited and burn through.

Even the powerful Tang Xumi, upon facing this unique Jin Technique renowned throughout the land as Extreme Yang Light, had to quickly withdraw his Consciousness Spiritual Light at the first moment and drove the Divine Radiance from his Yellow Court forward.

Between the two, blinding light flared, lifting table-sized stones off the ground, many of which were torn apart mid-air, sprinkling debris everywhere.

Many Outer Disciples were shaken, the young man from the Yin Yang Temple was truly terrifying. A peer of his age who chose the path of mutations was able to stand toe-to-toe with the Core Disciples of the Outer World!

Although Tang Xumi was injured, he still had extraordinary combat strength, blocking Lu Zhen and unleashing a Spirit Blade, refined by the Heavenly Light, slicing through the air!

Suddenly, the ground cracked, and a clear figure approached. Seeing that the young man from his family had dared to make a second move, Li Qingxu felt he must follow suit, hoping for a fourth chance to touch the Furnace of Eight Trigrams.

He knew that his family had given many rare and precious items to the Yin Yang Temple to ask for this young man’s assistance; indeed, it was "worth the price."

Li Qingxu smashed his stick onto the brilliantly colored Spirit Blade, blocking Tang Xumi’s fierce strike.

Lu Zhen, living up to expectations, circulated the Yin Yang Power, and Black and White Light erupted; he had broken through and was close-quarter fighting with Tang Xumi.

With a bang, like a clap of thunder, the two exchanged blows, both unsteady on their feet, retreating backward.

"You are practicing a special kind of Heavenly Light Force as well, taking both paths at once?" The young man from the Yin Yang Temple was truly shocked.

Upon hearing this, the Outer Disciples were similarly stunned, marveling at Tang Xumi’s hidden strength; he had trodden on two paths at once.

"He’s just honing his Consciousness Spiritual Light, not advancing on both paths simultaneously," Li Qingxu spoke up and swung his bamboo stick again, going on the offensive.

The three fought fiercely. Divine Radiance struck out like waves in all directions, the dust filled the air, and the ground was cracked open with fissures half a foot wide.

A figure, like a specter, appeared; Jiang Shengyu, who had already withdrawn from the battlefield, returned to the fight, attacking directly to seize the Furnace of Eight Trigrams amidst the chaos.

Su Jingshu also rushed forward. Hu Tingwen gritted his teeth, drank a vial of Medicine Liquid, and found the right moment to enter the fray, competing for the Close Immortal Item.

Suddenly, a massive melee erupted!

Tang Xumi coughed up blood, throwing the Furnace of Eight Trigrams to the ground. If he continued to hold on to it, he would certainly be surrounded and killed.

Lu Zhen was wounded, blood continuously flowing from his mouth, as the newly joined Core Disciples took special care to target him. Everyone was injured; it was impossible to let the young man from the Yin Yang Temple remain in peak condition alone.

At this moment, people saw a female Golden Armor Guard walking towards the battlefield unhurriedly.

Although she was covered in cold, metallic armor, people still felt that she bore a bit of the Fairy’s charm and was more than an Outer Saint, as her body shimmered with bright Light Rain.

As she stepped lightly towards the battlefield, the fighting Core Disciples, unexpectedly all attacked her alone, displaying their strongest skills.

"What’s happening?" People outside the battle were shocked.

Earlier, there had been incidents where six Core Disciples joined forces to besiege one elite disciple.

Now, things were even more outrageous; all core disciples, including the injured Yin Yang Temple youth, were attacking a mysterious woman.

With a thud, Jiang Shengyu was sent flying, blood oozing from his mouth and nose, even his ears bleeding, as he was directly shaken twenty or so meters away.

Hu Tingwen staggered under the assault of a burst of five-colored radiance, almost tumbling to the ground, continuously retreating backwards.

With a clang, a short sword wrapped in Divine Radiance appeared in Li Qingyue’s hand, clashing with Li Qingxu’s Purple Bamboo Stick. At the moment of fending off the bamboo stick, the sword’s edge released a brilliant light, causing Li Qingxu to bleed from the chest and forcing him to quickly retreat.

In Li Qingyue’s left hand was a wooden shield slightly larger than a palm that radiated a crisp luster. It collided with the Yin Yang Temple youth’s right palm, causing nearby sand and rocks to fly about like a whirlwind passing through, with many large rocks being torn apart.

Amidst the booming sounds, Tang Xumi and Su Jingshu were also sent flying, their faces pale and bloodied. When they crashed to the ground, their bodies continued to tremble.

This turn of events left the spectating disciples dumbfounded. Who had entered the fray? How could she be so powerful?

Li Qingyue spoke, "I know that you have been waiting for me to get close, trying to hunt me down again. You all ganged up on me; must have been exhausting to put on such an act, huh?"

She was well aware that when she threw the stone, although most people hadn’t noticed, it couldn’t have possibly escaped everyone’s attention; a few had discovered her.

"Actually, I could have just sat back watching the winds change and entered the fray later, not giving you any chance."

After Li Qingyue finished speaking, she looked at the crowd and said, "If I did that, you might feel unconvinced later. I’m giving you a chance now. You all are wounded, right? Then come at me together, and those who haven’t made a move from the shadows, it’s your turn to enter as well!"

The disciples’ hearts jumped. She was clearing the field!

The spectating disciples all knew who had arrived. The prime candidate for obtaining the Close Immortal Item, Li Qingyue, had reappeared!

"Wasn’t Junior Sister Li ambushed and severely injured? She’s unharmed!"

"This... really is beyond my expectations!"

...

Li Qingyue removed her golden mask, revealing her true face, like a fairy clad in armor, standing aloof from the world with a surge of domineering aura climbing steadily.

Those outside the arena were shocked, followed by an uproar.

In the arena, the core disciples all had serious expressions. Their condition was not good, and even if they worked together, they likely couldn’t suppress Li Qingyue.

Because they could clearly sense that Li Qingyue had become stronger, as if she had ascended another step.

Tang Xumi smiled bitterly and said, "Junior Sister Li, you really didn’t need to show up so early. We’ve already ganged up on you, and no matter how you would make your entrance later, nobody would be dissatisfied. It seems that fate has decreed it so – we, out of fear of you, wanted to eliminate you first, but after all the twists and turns, it’s you who are clearing the field at the last moment, coming back again."

Li Qingyue replied, "I’m giving everyone an explanation. For this final battle, go ahead and give it your all!"

Li Qingxu’s expression subtly changed, and the other core disciples also had complex looks as they surmised that Li Qingyue’s return for the final battle was to establish her prestige and win over the hearts of other disciples as a preparation for the future.

"This is a competition amongst Outer Disciples; you should leave. Otherwise, I will focus on dealing with you first," Li Qingyue said, looking at Lu Zhen.

The Yin Yang Temple youth was very strong, but having provoked Tang Xumi, he was dragged into a tough fight. Others were wary of him, naturally dealing him harsh blows, leaving him heavily injured.

"I’ve done my best," Lu Zhen said, nodding to Li Qingxu before turning and leaving without any hesitation.

The next moment, all core disciples made their move again. Since the final moment hadn’t arrived yet, they really couldn’t let go. So many people, even if injured, if they all bore their pain and unleashed a few ultimate skills, couldn’t they break through Li Qingyue’s Protective Radiance?

The melee erupted!

Just then, a tall figure, swift as lightning, entered the fray. With incredible speed and wielding a Spirit Spear, they aimed a thrust at Li Qingyue’s back.

With a clang, Li Qingyue, as if having anticipated the attack, blocked the Spirit Spear with her crystalline wooden shield.

At the same time, she whirled around and clashed a palm against her attacker. An endless radiance burst forth, as if a colorful storm had emerged, sweeping in all directions.

The newcomer continuously retreated, her white palm twitching, her Consciousness Spiritual Light fluctuating and dimming, as she coughed up blood.

"Qing Yue, your breakthrough isn’t just by a small step, but a large one!" Wang Caiwei sighed. After watching for so long and hiding her strength only to take action at the end, she still couldn’t make a difference. Nothing changed!

This scene alarmed the other core disciples. Although reinforcements had arrived, they didn’t feel any joy at all. With hidden contenders appearing one after another, who could feel at ease?

Wang Caiwei took action again. Her strength was formidable. After clashing several moves with Li Qingyue, her beautiful face turned deathly pale, devoid of any color.

The others also attacked together. The Close Immortal Item was right in front of them. They truly couldn’t reconcile with this outcome.

Boom boom boom...

Several core disciples were consecutively heavily injured!

The Furnace of Eight Trigrams was flung out amid the fight, but no other Outer Disciples dared to pick it up.

Many knew that it almost belonged to Li Qingyue.

Qin Ming climbed up the giant pit and just saw the Close Immortal Item lying on the edge. Fearing it would fall off, he picked it up.

"Give it to me!" Wang Caiwei left the battlefield, covered in blood, and charged over. Beneath her feet shone brilliant flowing lights as she swiftly crossed.

Li Qingyue glanced over but did not pursue.
