Chapter 598: Chapter 71: I Can Only Win With Wisdom [Two in One]_1

"Done well!"

On the viewing platform, Empress Feng was teeth-baring and claw-weaving, applauding her disciple’s fantastic performance.

In contrast, silence fell over the Penglai Camp. Although they still believed that Yang Shenlong would ultimately bring victory, Qi Lin’er’s crushing defeat was not something to celebrate.

In their estimation, the power of Penglai should be formidably vast even without Yang Shenlong, and the rest of the people should also have the strength to compete with top prodigies. Unexpectedly, Qi Lin’er, who was the second arrowhead, was taken down so swiftly and decisively by Chu Liang.

And not just once.

Last time, one could argue that they were unprepared, the Dragon Soul Possession was not activated, Chu Liang took some sort of Elixir and sneak-attacked unscrupulously...

But this time, he broke your defense with a single sword in your face, with absolutely no room for sophistry.

Daoist Chi Niu furrowed his brows, saying in a deep voice, "This kid... actually comprehended an entire complete Dao of Void Slashing, which is simply outrageous."

"Chu Liang of Shu Mountain rising to fame in a short time naturally has his reasons," said Daoist Xuan Lu. "I have studied his previous achievements, do you know what the most amazing part is?"

"Of course, I don’t know," answered Daoist Chi Niu.

"He accomplished in one year what others couldn’t complete in ten, whether it be mission trials, participation in the summit, running Red Cotton Peak... All of these tasks would take up all of a person’s energy. Normally, if one is so busy, there is no time for cultivation. But he made rapid progress in his cultivation amidst such busyness. I was quite amazed before and had no idea where he could find the time to cultivate. I even sometimes suspect that he possesses a secret realm that can extend time."

As Daoist Xuan Lu spoke, his gaze remained fixed on Chu Liang, who was moving toward the next corridor on the screen, his eyes filled with amusement.

"If he can achieve such feats with just a bit of fragmented time, how strong would he be if he cultivates with his utmost effort? But why was such a peerless prodigy unknown before?"

"What do you mean..." Daoist Chi Niu looked at him.

"I guess he must have had some legendary adventures, or he was born with a godly fate," Daoist Xuan Lu concluded, "It would be nice if we could recruit such a disciple to our Penglai Camp."

Although he did not know that Chu Liang had the Big Head Baby, which allowed him uninterrupted cultivation and that his cultivation level would not be much different from now even if he cultivated with all his might... He could still intuitively guess something was off.

"Recruit?" Daoist Chi Niu snorted, "I wish I could twist his head off."

Apparently, he turned the anger caused by Empress Feng’s scolding onto Chu Liang.

"That’s your narrow-mindedness. If everyone thought like you, how could Penglai develop into what it is today?" Daoist Xuan Lu said leisurely.

Daoist Chi Niu snorted twice, then said, "However, it may not be a bad thing for Qi Lin’er to be taught a lesson by him twice. No one dare to provoke him on Mirage Mountain and he is fast becoming a devil. I don’t even know what his background is."

Even with their status in Penglai, they knew little about Qi Lin’er’s origins, just some rumors that he was the illegitimate child of Daoist Cang Sheng, which were absolutely ridiculous.

"Don’t comment casually on affairs of Shenxu," Daoist Xuan Lu simply said.

Daoist Chi Niu sneered dismissively but remained silent.

He was an old hand on Mirage Mountain, having advanced to the Seventh Realm for many years, while Daoist Xuan Lu was a rising star who had broken through in recent years. Chi Niu was practically an entire generation older than him.

He had experience, cultivation, and wisdom.

After Daoist Xuan Lu’s promotion, he quickly received the favor of the higher-ups, and his voice on Mirage Mountain became even more powerful than Chi Niu, which occasionally infuriated Chi Niu.

...

While Chu Liang was winning consecutive battles, there were also those engaged in protracted battles, still stuck in the first hallway.

Xu Ziyang was one of them.

The person opposite him was also a Swords Sect Disciple.

Xu Hu from the Dragon-Tiger-Leopard trio.

The Eldest Senior Brother of Jade Sword Peak, facing an unfamiliar Swords Sect Disciple, made his strongest move, and his Heaven Lifting Sword whistled out.

Xu Hu, likewise unfamiliar with the Shu Mountain Disciple in front of him, showed no restraint.

The gigantic Sword Aura came pressing down, and Xu Hu made the same choice as Chu Liang, condensing Sword Intent and waving his sword.

Chii——

At the point of the sword, a chilling radiance burst forth.

This was the genuine Jue Yun Sword Qi against the Void Slashing Sword Intent, seemingly less dazzling than the Heavenly Sword Technique, but it was denser and sharper, cutting straight through the Heavenly Sword Technique.

However, concurrently, Void Slashing was also ultimately exhausted.

The two sides ended in a draw with this move.

But for the two of them, this powerful Divine Skills confrontation was just a test. After understanding each other’s strength, both parties’ moves immediately changed.

Xu Ziyang realized that the opponent’s Sword Intent was sharp, so he immediately leapt forward, preparing to engage Xu Hu in close combat.

Xu Hu, seeing this, waved his Longsword, and the swiftness of the Sword Intent immediately enveloped a five-foot radius. Anyone who broke in would face a deluge of sword light.

But Xu Ziyang charged right in, heedless of the consequences.

Chii chii chii——

All of a sudden, sword lights rained down like a heavy shower, converging on him from all directions.

Xu Ziyang suddenly moved forward, appearing in front of Xu Hu in an instant, already in close combat range.

Shrinkage!

Just as the onlookers thought Xu Ziyang had succeeded in his strategy, unexpectedly, Xu Hu opened his mouth wide and spewed a brilliant Sword Aura!
