Chapter 45: Chapter 45: Yuqing Dao

"Ah, ah!" "What!" "How, how is this possible!" "Senior brother!" "Hiss... Sword Sect!"

The people of Jiuning Mountain were greatly shocked!

Although Tie Dan was still a bit confused, feeling like he had casually dealt with a nobody, the others were truly astonished!

One must know that Shi Ding actually had some skills!

The Samadhi Dao Fire he refined was incredibly pure, its flames soaring high! When he thrust his spear, it was accompanied by Gang Wind, enveloping Qi Force, clearly showing that he was also a skilled practitioner of both Qi and Body Cultivation, well-versed in martial arts!

Moreover, he was riding a leopard!

Though sword fighting was supposed to be a duel, a mount and spiritual pet and magic treasures didn’t count as another person, so Shi Ding with his leopard could be said to be well-rounded in both offense and defense, with full impact and maneuverability!

Not to mention a Foundation Establishment kid like you, even when fighting someone of the same realm, couldn’t it at least end in a draw after thirty or fifty rounds?

Who would have thought he couldn’t even withstand a single round?

One look, one sword!

Crash! Down!

Yikes! Beichen Sword Sect! How terrifying!

Tie Dan didn’t say a word, just let them be ’shocked!’, pulling the wooden sword out from between the leopard’s eyes, gutting and extracting the core on the spot, killing and eating it fresh. That spear was quite hefty, made from sturdy materials, worth re-forging.

"Ugh!" "Demon, demon spawn!" "Evil demons and heretics!"

This drinking blood and eating flesh deepened the stereotype further, scaring a couple of female crowns into losing their color, their mounts trembling uncontrollably.

"Who’s next?"

The crowd fell silent for a moment, truly terrified by Tie Dan’s actions, with no one daring to respond.

Are you kidding, do you really know how much skill you have? Surely one can see through an opponent’s strength, right?

This Demon Sect kid, killed a man with one sword, slaughtered a leopard, and even ate it in public. How heartless can you be!

And seeing that these people in front of him were really hesitating, considering who would go up next for a one-on-one sword fight, Tie Dan felt it was quite fresh.

Doesn’t he know what kind of people reside in the Demon Palace? Are you all really taking turns to fight?

All should come and gang up, right? Could it be a trick?

"Hey! Evil demons and heretics! No need to talk about Jianghu rules with him!"

"Indeed, indeed! Everyone together! Are we really afraid of this demon spawn!"

Fortunately, it didn’t go beyond Tie Dan’s expectations.

The Riding Tiger Taoist and the Riding Immortal Crane cultivator exchanged a look and came to an agreement, then started shouting.

One took out a Bright Pearl, and the other revealed a Treasure Bottle, habitually pouncing competitively, preparing for some righteous path ganging.

"Wait a moment! Although guests should follow the host, since both junior brothers aren’t going, allow this humble Daoist to accept it."

Wang Zheng, a disciple of Yuqing Chaoxu Temple, steps up to fulfill the sword fighting agreement!"

Unexpectedly, the Riding Green Bull cultivator proactively came out, stopping the two of them.

Not to mention Tie Dan didn’t understand, even their own people didn’t comprehend.

"Senior Brother Wang! Why fight alone over a breath of momentary anger! Let’s all go in! We can smash him to death!"

"Indeed, indeed! This kid clearly has top-notch martial arts, we must defend against him!"

Wang Zheng glared at them, gave a cold sneer, and scolded,

"Nonsense, didn’t your master teach you! The killing tribulation has opened! It’s a dispute of fate! Winning is about gaining Immortal Fate!

Our Chaoxu Temple Yuqing Orthodoxy, Ancient Daoist Sect! It’s only right to seize the flourishing fortunes of the Mystic Sect! Such a good opportunity, such a tremendous benefit, how can it be lightly abandoned!

Indeed, you from the Immortal Gate, truly have short horizons! If you dare to recklessly interfere later, ruining my good deed, see if I don’t wipe you out!"

They were dumbfounded by his scolding, and after quite a while, came around, flushed with anger,

"Hey! What’s with this! You’re still shouting!"

"Ah, scram, you want to die, go by yourself!"

Upon deciding so, the two cultivators no longer cared, and Wang Zheng rode his bull over, bowed from afar, and respectfully said to Tie Dan,

"Fellow Daoist, please."

Tie Dan looked at him, pressing his sword temporarily,

"What does starting a killing tribulation mean?"

Wang Zheng nodded and said,

"Allow me to explain to you, Fellow Daoist. We inner core Qi Refiners are true cultivators of the Great Dao, fighting fate with heaven, contending with the Dao.

Every one month, there’s a life-and-death tribulation, every cycle of heaven and earth, there’s a Heavenly Thunder Tribulation, and every Heaven and Earth One Meeting, there is a True Demise Tribulation.

As long as the sword fighting overcomes the killing tribulation, you can seize a lifetime of luck from your opponent, extend your lifespan by sixty years, greatly advance in cultivation, and gain immense luck, with countless opportunities waiting for you in the unseen.

Tell me, is this good or not!"

After saying that, he even glared once back at the two behind him...

Tie Dan, upon hearing this, his eyes lit up,

"Just killing people, is there really so much benefit?"

Wang Zheng smiled and nodded,

"Indeed, indeed, lots of benefits, extremely good indeed."

Tie Dan nodded,

"Good, then I’ll thank you first for the benefits, slay!"

"Zing!"

The magic sword surged, a flash of white light, and a stream of sword energy slashed towards Wang Zheng’s neck!

Wang Zheng, however, was not flustered, flicked his robe, opened his mouth, pinched a formula, and from the top of his head, suddenly surged a jade-hued green light!

That jade light, like a Milky Way cascading waterfall, shrouded his entire body with a veil! The Divine Gang Sword Qi was deflected by the jade light, unable to cut down!

The Riding Tiger Taoist was surprised,

"Wow... Yuqing Great Method!"

Immortal Crane Taoist explained,

"Chaoxu Temple lives up to its name; an inner sect disciple has already cultivated the Yuqing Jade Wall Body Protection Divine Skill!"

Tie Dan couldn’t help but frown; he hadn’t seen this move before; at first glance, it seemed without flaw...

However, before Tie Dan could think more about how to deal with this, Wang Zheng took out a Taoist Talisman, held it in his palm, and tapped the top of his riding Green Bull,

"Go."

"Moo—!"

The talisman unsealed! Demon Qi surged to the sky!

The Green Bull stood up! Transforming into a four-zhang-high bull-headed giant monster! Charging with its big chest muscles towards Tie Dan!

Tie Dan was also helpless, he knew well that these mages always had some protector mount around...

This Demon Bull was also of the Inner Core Realm, with eyes like copper bells, horns like curved hooks, thick skin, and muscular flesh, weighing perhaps a thousand jins, roaring and charging forward, a cloud of dust rolling, making quite a grand spectacle!

Even Tie Dan had to leap and dodge, not daring to directly block its edge!

This thing was different from the previous leopard, with its too broad shoulders, too thick body, and overly developed muscles!

It was as if a wall was moving sideways; even if he gathered sword power to kill it with one strike, should he be struck or brushed against, he’d likely be flung away, bleeding everywhere. The ensuing fight wouldn’t be easy then.

And with Shi’s death serving as a trial, Wang Zheng had gotten smarter, letting the bull charge ahead while he stayed behind, dealing damage.

One could see him sitting cross-legged, using the Yuqing Divine Skill for protection, while simultaneously summoning magic treasures to assist in the attack!

"Clang! Clang! Clang!"

What the surname Wang used was a Demon Suppressing Bell!

Shake once, dizzy! Shake twice, Inner Breath runs amok! Shake thrice, spat blood from the mouth and nose!

"Moo—!"

"Ha!"

At this moment, Tie Dan’s Divine Soul was shaken by the bell’s sound waves from afar, striking his mind, causing him to see stars and bleed from mouth and nose, while being chased around by the Green Bull, utterly powerless to fight back! He had to use all his skill to dodge and escape!

However, Wang Zheng was not in a hurry. He let it drag on for a while, wearing down Tie Dan’s spirit and physical strength. Calculating the time was about right, he took out a magic sword, placed it on his knee, took out a gourd, drank a sip of elixir wine to replenish his Qi. Then unhurriedly placed another talisman on the sword, summoning a fire talisman on the blade.

He was getting ready to wield the fire sword with one hand and ring the magic bell with the other, preparing to kill the demon...

But unexpectedly, at that moment, there was a sudden change!

"Hit!"

The Riding Deer Woman Crown, who had remained silent, hiding in the back, suddenly made a move, somehow producing a Ruyi!

Tie Dan was totally unprepared! It struck him squarely on the shoulder, sending him tumbling to the ground!

"White Python Bone-binding Whip! Thousand Mechanism Piercing Heart Nails!"

Seeing her success, the woman crown was overjoyed! She swung a Snake Bone Whip! Tripping the Green Bull by its hind legs, causing it to fall!

At the same time, she spat poison needles! Heart-piercing Needle aimed directly at Tie Dan’s heart and belly!

Indeed! She saw that this kid couldn’t hold up, realizing he was just a mere Foundation Establishment Realm!

Qi was exhausted! Strength was depleted! The opportunity had arrived!

Steal the kill!

"Damn wretch!"

Wang Zheng was greatly shocked, hurriedly sweeping with the fire sword! A fiery gale swung out, intending to destroy the poison needle first, then slash Tie Dan!

A counter-steal!

And at this moment!

The feigned weak Tie Dan exploded into action!

With a sword, he threaded through the needles! Deflecting the dense poison needles!

Simultaneously, wielding the sword, he dashed forward! Charging straight at Wang Zheng!

"Beichen Divine Gang Sword!"

The sword in the belly erupted out! Qi Sword Unity! All power condensed into one sword, instantly breaking through the fiery gale! Direct stab at Wang Zheng!

"Yuqing Jade Wall Body Protection Divine Skill!"

Wang Zheng remained calm in the face of danger! Jade green light surged to the sky, securely protecting his entire body!

"Die!"

Then everyone only saw Tie Dan crash into Wang Zheng’s embrace.

Thus, that wooden sword pierced through the chest, breaking the heart.

Huh?

Wang Zheng was unbelievably shocked,

"How could it be... my Divine Skill... impossible..."

Indeed it was impossible.

Tie Dan had spent a long time observing, realizing the opponent’s skills were genuine. With his current sword power, he was absolutely incapable of directly breaking through this Yuqing Body Protection Divine Skill.

So he used the Formless Sword Qi.

The Beichen Killing Sword, long before Wang Zheng, chanted and entered the duel.

The hidden edge for killing, silent and invisible, had already pressed against his heart.

To take his life, it could happen anytime, but Tie Dan remembered the Master’s teachings,

Keep a card hidden, let no one see it, to avoid unnecessary trouble.
