Chapter 289: Chapter 77: Dog Thief! [Vote for monthly ticket!]_1

Just how many Immortal Laws does Senior Sister Jiang know?

Chu Liang can’t help but wonder. In their first encounter in the cave, Senior Sister Jiang struggled against a demon beast of the Fifth Realm. She definitely did not demonstrate such a great power of Immortal Laws then; otherwise, she would not have hidden it during a life-and-death situation.

But with a little pondering, it becomes clear. Jiang Yuebai possesses an Immortal Spirit Body, with an affinity for spiritual energy and Immortal Laws. There are no great difficulties for her to comprehend all divine techniques.

What she was not able to deploy earlier was likely due to her level of cultivation.

When she broke through to the Fifth Stage, her True Qi became stronger and she was able to master techniques she could not deploy before.

During the time she secluded herself after her breakthrough, she likely increased her divine power reserve just like Chu Liang did.

She actually chose to strike back hard!

The so-called strongest sword technique under Immortal Laws, the Heavenly Sword Technique, is just a beggar’s version of the Heaven Lifting Sword. Jiang Yuebai’s Heavenly Sword Technique can match Chu Liang; her Heaven Lifting Sword is a hundred times stronger!

The giant Sword Aura, carrying the rumbling Sword Qi like a waterfall, is colliding with Chu Liang’s Five Elements Gourd pushed sideways!

If it weren’t for the award given by the Mountain God, with Chu Liang’s current level of cultivation, he wouldn’t have any divine technique that could compete with a Fifth Stage power.

In that case, he wouldn’t have had to wait until today; Xu Ziyang would have easily defeated him with superior strength.

However, even Chu Liang’s most powerful attack seems a bit lackluster in the face of Jiang Yuebai’s Heaven Lifting Sword.

This is the number one most ferocious Immortal Law!

Daoist Yan, who became famous around the world for killing enemies thousands of miles away with this sword, certainly cannot be wrong.

Jiang Yuebai’s Heaven Lifting Sword, the Chaos Vortex, was slowly breached right through the center. Without even facing it, Chu Liang was already choked by the terrifying Sword Qi!

How can he handle this sword?

"Heaven Lifting Sword!" Elder Sun exclaimed, "Jiang Yuebai has even mastered this! The strongest disciple in Shu Mountain Sect is definitely her!"

"The time it took her to master this sword was probably earlier than her master’s." Elder Huang said, showing a smile and sighing, "Now, I can finally say that Jiangjiang will definitely win..."

Before the words could even fall, a sudden change occurred on the field.

Facing this daunting power, Chu Liang appears tiny, but he did not give up.

Rather, his body suddenly ignited a flame!

Bam!

A powerful golden flame surrounded him, and golden pupils lit up in his eyes!

"Divine Dragon Blood Burning Technique!"

In the spectator stands, Ling Ao, dressed in black and sitting in the corner, suddenly tightened his eyes. Watching Chu Liang deploy the divine technique that he had used, with a power much stronger than his previous attempt, his eyes flickered.

The Dragon’s Breath rising to the sky made him grit his teeth.

Feeling the unparalleled power drawn from his blood, Chu Liang’s body began to tremble involuntarily.

He really stole this move from Ling Ao.

Having witnessed Ling Ao’s powerful eruption due to the Burning Blood technique, Chu Liang had been inspired to go to the Law Protection Hall and purchase this divine technique.

However, due to time constraints and the weakness experienced after each use, he didn’t attempt it, considering it only a contingency.

This was his first attempt.

It is indeed powerful.

Having practiced the Dragon Blood Secret Method and the Miraculous Blood Tempering Technique for so long, the spiritual energy in his blood, both in quality and intensity, is superior to Ling Ao’s. Naturally, the force erupting is far greater than his.

Shrouded in blazing flames, he immediately rotated the Five Elements Gourd, shrinking the five diagrams into a shield in front of him, standing firm against the Heaven Lifting Sword!

Boom, clank—

A thunderous sound echoed in the air, and he actually withstood this powerful Immortal Law technique!

"What’s going on? Can everyone on Shu Mountain burn their blood?" Elder Huang was somewhat surprised.

"And his Blood Burning power is a level higher than Ling Ao’s earlier. It appears that the two finalists indeed are the strongest two!" Elder Sun added.

Boom, boom, boom, boom, boom—

Amid the cross strike and counter-collision, the Heaven Lifting Sword and the Five Elements Gourd exploded and vanished, and a dazzling shockwave swept across the field. Just before the divine technique was extinguished, Chu Liang leaped high into the sky, evading it.

He still remembered how Jiang Yuebai’s Counter Current made Ling Ao fall straight down, so he dared not get close to Jiang Yuebai and continued to deploy long-range divine techniques.

The Dustless Sword rose, transforming into a hundred streams of Sword Aura. It then drew a Sword Aura rune and flew forward together.

Hundred Swords Technique meets Talisman Sword Technique!

Hundred Rune Sword!

Under the aid of Burning Blood, he could also attempt to combine these two divine techniques.

Because his predecessors had researched it, when the number of runes drawn by a single Talisman Sword Technique exceeded over a dozen, the speed would slow down. Because even if your True Qi can support more than a dozen runes, the time it takes to draw the runes in mid-air is too long. This gives your opponent ample time to react and consequently reduces the power of the sword technique.

If you want to enhance the power based on more than a dozen runes, it’s best to combine it with the Hundred Swords Technique. In the same amount of time, a hundred streams of Sword Aura can carry a hundred times the power of the runes.

A rain of swords is fired!

Seeing that Jiang Yuebai is about to be covered, she easily spins twice. She moved forward a few dozens of feet, dodging the rain of swords while getting closer to Chu Liang!

Shrinkage is being deployed again!

Chu Liang immediately stopped using the Burning Blood Technique!

Now that Jiang Yuebai’s Counter Current is within its range, using this technique again would be suicidal.

Just now, he had to deploy Burning Blood to counter Jiang Yuebai’s Heaven Lifting Sword. This technique might be useful against others, but it is restrained in front of Jiang Yuebai.

Once the Burning Blood is shut off, a strong sense of weakness immediately assaults him. Chu Liang thought for a moment and assimilated several Dragon Blood Crystals into his body, mitigating the weakness. This barely allowed him to continue.

Fortunately, Jiang Yuebai had managed to close the distance between them. Without hesitation, he charged forward to confront his opponent!

Once again, they engaged in close combat!

"Jiangjiang, what are you thinking!" Elder Huang exclaimed, "Her physical strength is obviously not as great as Chu Liang’s, why would she intentionally close the distance..."

Before he could finish, he saw a layer of gold envelop Jiang Yuebai on the stage.

When Geng Metal True Qi is infused into the body, it forms the Fifth Stage Golden Body, a technique Xu Ziyang masters. So, it’s natural that Jiang Yuebai would know it too! Just because she didn’t use it before doesn’t mean she hasn’t mastered it!

But Chu Liang wasn’t afraid at all, having already fought Xu Ziyang’s Three Heads and Six Arms Golden Body, even if Senior Sister Jiang’s Golden Body was stronger, it wouldn’t outclass Xu Ziyang’s.

No sooner had the thought crossed his mind than Jiang Yuebai’s Flying Sword pierced towards him, astonishingly fast!

Chu Liang was like a ghost under his Retreat Body Technique, circling to Jiang Yuebai’s rear while simultaneously thrusting his sword out.

Yet Jiang Yuebai seemed to have eyes in the back of her head, and without looking, she spun around and countered with a sword! No matter how Chu Liang tried to flank her, every one of his strikes was blocked.

This sort of accurately anticipated attack reminded him of Daoist Yan’s secret technique.

Kongzhi Sword Realm.

Last time when Jiang Yuebai fought against Ling Ao, she also used the Kongzhi Sword Realm. However, Chu Liang only heard about this technique and didn’t understand it in-depth, so he didn’t identify it.

Now, facing it himself, he suddenly remembered this Divine Skill.

Each attack being foresighted left him at a great disadvantage in close combat. Luckily, Jiang Yuebai’s strike rate wasn’t very fast, otherwise, he would have been subdued long ago.

But given the current situation, Chu Liang couldn’t back down anymore.

After several rounds of fierce combat and a round of Burning Blood, he had spent a substantial amount of his cultivation, and he needed some time to recover. If they were to distance themselves again, who knew what Divine Skill Senior Sister Jiang might use, and the field would turn greatly against him.

He simply had to change his tactics and summoned the puppets that had been created by his technique, and collectively assaulted Jiang Yuebai!

Even if you can foresee the moves, as long as my speed and strength are strong enough, you won’t be able to block them!

So, Chu Liang, gripped by desperation, was hoping he could break out of the current situation with sheer brute force!

However, just as all the puppets surrounded her, Jiang Yuebai suddenly brightened her eyes, made a figure with her left hand, and pointed her Longsword skyward with her right!

Clank—

A lightning bolt flashed across the sky, and in an instant, a dazzling purple thunderlight radiated from Jiang Yuebai and enveloped everything within a five zhang radius.

It was as if a huge thunder pool had been opened!

Chu Liang and his puppets were all engulfed in it.

"Well done, Jiangjiang!" Elder Huang clapped his hands, "I knew she wouldn’t act rashly, certainly there was a calculation. Luring Chu Liang into close combat was all a part of her plan, so she could use the Wu Lei’s Heavenly Heart!"

The Immortal Law, Wu Lei’s Heavenly Heart!

This is a technique almost comparable to Samadhi True Fire, Jiang Yuebai has even mastered this!

Of course, her thunder technique’s strength must not be high yet, but it is enough to deal with Chu Liang.

She lured Chu Liang into close combat must have been because she was concealing this move!

In an instant, Chu Liang only felt a numbness all over his body, and a thunderous noise in his Divine Sense. If it weren’t for his extremely strong physical body, he would have fainted instantly without even having a moment to react.

In a flash, his brain was still making judgments that dodging backward would not be possible anymore, the closest dodge distance was forward!

The thunder pool radiated centered on Jiang Yuebai, but it couldn’t possibly encircle her too.

So, Chu Liang mustered the last bit of his strength, instead of retreating, he charged forward!

Fwoo—

Through the purple shadows of the thunder pool, the two black shadows within suddenly overlapped.

Oh—

Amidst the thunderous lightning, Chu Liang, numbed all over, had no time to make any offensive move, he could only hastily embrace Jiang Yuebai to evade the thunder pool!

He practically bumped into her, his entire body crashed onto Jiang Yuebai, and was no longer able to make any movements.

At this moment, there was a hint of panic in both their eyes.

Under everyone’s watchful eyes, the entire field fell into sudden silence.

By the time Chu Liang felt the numbness on his body wane and attempted to make a move, it was already too late.

He saw a slight annoyance in Jiang Yuebai’s eyes and she had already poised her hand to strike.

Thud.

At such a close distance, Chu Liang simply blacked out from her hand strike. Even though he fainted, he still clung to Jiang Yuebai’s waist, and the two of them fell to the ground together.

Only then did the crowd have the chance to react—

This guy actually embraced Immortal Jiang!

"Scoundrel!"

It wasn’t until they landed that Jiang Yuebai struggled free from Chu Liang’s grasp and stood up. Despite winning, she did not seem at ease; instead, she appeared somewhat flushed.

The audience was filled with righteous indignation, all were rolling up their sleeves, as if they were about to rush onto the stage right away! The situation seemed on the verge of chaos!

Seeing this, the Deacon Elder quickly flew onto the stage, raised his hand to stabilize the crowd’s emotions and loudly declared, "Jiang Yuebai wins!"

"Jiang Yuebai will become the Chief Disciple of this generation’s Shu Mountain Sect! Disciples of the Pill Furnace Hall, please step onto the stage to wake up Chu Liang. Xu Ziyang and Ling Ao, who advanced to the final four, please come up as well. In a moment, the top four disciples will proceed to the Sword Sheath Peak together, to receive the selection of the Purple Green Double Swords."

"Don’t be impulsive! Don’t be impulsive! Calm down! Who dares to step forward? Everyone, step back!"

"Step back! Step back! Step back!"
