Super Invincible Immortal Doctor
Chapter 1278: How to Win

Chapter 1278: Chapter 1278: How to Win

The Wasteland Sky Halberd pierced into Long Xuan’s body, causing even him to furrow his brows instantly.

The remaining might of this halberd strike, already weakened by the Killing Star Sword and his protective Magic Artifact, wasn’t much.

However, the frenzied Wasteland Battle Qi surged directly into his body through the wound, the violent Qi tainted with untold Qi of Slaughter stirring chaos in Long Xuan’s Sea of Consciousness.

Compared to physical injuries, the disturbance in the Sea of Consciousness was the real trouble for Long Xuan.

"Return to your place!"

The hand behind his back formed a quick seal, and the Mount Longhu Trinity Sword appeared instantly by Long Xuan’s side, blocking the Wasteland Sky Halberd for a moment as Long Xuan leapt back rapidly, distancing himself from the influence of the Halberd.

Although this did not completely resolve the influence of the Wasteland Battle Qi, only by distancing himself from this Immortal Artifact, filled with the Qi of Slaughter, could he minimize its impact.

Circulating Mana to suppress the turmoil in his Sea of Consciousness, Long Xuan glanced down at his Taoist Robe, which now had a large hole, feeling somewhat regretful.

Su Chengyu’s judgment was not wrong; the robe was only of Spiritual Artifact grade, and for him, it had long been an outdated Magic Artifact.

But as an old friend who had accompanied him in his quest to understand the Dao of heaven and earth, even now, as he was about to take that final step, he had not replaced it.

Little did he expect that today, under Su Chengyu’s strike, it would be completely destroyed.

"You’ve done well, old friend."

As Long Xuan spoke, he completely dispersed the remaining Mana from the Taoist Robe, turning this garment that had accompanied him for over a decade into a mere mundane object.

"Truly worthy of being an Immortal Artifact."

Watching the scene of Long Xuan being injured, Yang Qianyan couldn’t help but utter softly.

Beside him, Huang Quan uncertainly said, "That strike just now wasn’t the Immortal Artifact technique used by Su Chengyu before, right?"

"Mm, generally speaking, Immortal Artifacts come with several powerful moves. However, for this young man to be able to use two while only in the Pinnacle of the Nascent Soul Realm is indeed surprising."

Xu Zijing nodded in approval, clearly very pleased with Su Chengyu’s performance.

"Hmph, it’s just an external object after all. If it were me..."

"If it were you, you’d already be dead."

The speaker was not Ye Qingci, but Xu Zijing.

This made Ye Qingci look at Xu Zijing in surprise, not expecting him to speak up for Su Chengyu like this.

Cang Xue was stunned on the spot, looking at Xu Zijing with unease, completely unable to understand why.

This didn’t make sense; Xu Zijing, who was considered closest to the Royal Family, should have been hostile towards Su Chengyu.

"Do you think anyone can use an Immortal Artifact? Even if we forced you into a pact with it, the backlash from the first strike alone would be enough to kill you ten thousand times over! Could you have injured Long Xuan within the same realm?"

The calm words left Cang Xue frozen on the spot, and it was Xu Zijing’s comment that made the other Saint Envoys realize an astonishing fact.

Su Chengyu had injured Long Xuan, and had genuinely left a wound on him with the power of the same realm.

Even though he had utilized the Immortal Artifact in his hand, this situation was completely beyond everyone’s expectations.

After all, in their view, even with Long Xuan suppressing his power, Su Chengyu should have had no chance of resisting at all.

"Not enough."

Ye Qingci’s sudden words made everyone look over; Xu Zijing was the first to understand what Ye Qingci meant and nodded slightly.

"Indeed, if this boy wants to win, what he has shown so far is not enough, or you could say...far from enough."

Upon hearing this, Ye Qingci subconsciously clenched her fists. Even she, who trusted and was optimistic about Su Chengyu, could not think of a way for Su Chengyu to win.

After all, that was Long Xuan.

Even herself would not dare claim she could overpower Long Xuan with abilities of the same realm.

Boom!

On the scene, the Sancai Sword collided with the thrown Wasteland Sky Halberd.

Su Chengyu and Long Xuan, having a tacit understanding, both stayed in the rear, regulating their conditions.

One was because the wild Qi of the Wasteland Sky had not completely dissipated from his body, and the other had to slow down his attack pace due to the backlash against his body from striving for the Wasteland Sky Halberd.

Moreover, not only was he slowing down, but after three consecutive battles and using the Extremity of the Wasteland Sky, even with the elixir provided by Yang Junmo earlier, Su Chengyu’s mana was now nearly depleted.

At this point, even if his body recovered to its best, he couldn’t launch another attack like the Extremity of the Wasteland Sky.

But aside from the Extremity of the Wasteland Sky, what other moves could possibly hurt Long Xuan?

At this moment, Su Chengyu truly realized what Ye Qingci meant when she said his offensive means were lacking. Facing a true powerhouse, his attack methods seemed not to be on the same level at all.

Su Chengyu had an excellent memory and his aptitude was not poor, which allowed him to learn techniques quickly. This could be shown during his comprehension speed of Treasure Techniques when competing with Lin An.

But being able to learn was one thing, and mastering the techniques was another.

Previously unaware of this, Su Chengyu, after witnessing Long Xuan and Ye Qingci, realized that his grasp of mere techniques was just at a passing level and far inferior compared to the truly skilled.

His real talent was never in using techniques; his photographic memory brought him a masterful control of exquisite moves. The various methods recorded in the Grand Supreme Taoist Scripture made Su Chengyu himself a vast arsenal.

The treasure, in fact, had been in Su Chengyu all along, only he had never fully excavated it.

His trip to Dongying, where he created the Demon-slaying Sword, was his first attempt at excavation.

That sword also represented the culmination of Su Chengyu’s cultivation so far, wielding near-Pinnacle of the Nascent Soul Realm strength even before he advanced to the Nascent Soul Realm.

And on Mount Fuji, when he used that sword again, Su Chengyu directly defeated the Ping Shan Demon with its power.

However, Su Chengyu knew that the reason this sword was so powerful was mainly due to the natural dominance of the Dragon Slayer Sword over the Demon Clan. Dreaming of threatening Long Xuan with such a sword was pure folly.

Watching Long Xuan in the distance, recovering from the influence of the Wasteland Sky Qi and choosing to fight him from a distance,

Su Chengyu frowned and finally made a decision.

If this sword would not suffice, then he would create another!

Within the Grand Supreme Taoist Scripture, various supreme Daoist methods surfaced in his mind, countless figures appeared inside his Sea of Consciousness practicing the moves.

In the vast Sea of Consciousness of Su Chengyu, hundreds of figures appeared in an instant, each performing different techniques.

Countless shadows of fists and Sword Qi appeared within the Sea of Consciousness, and despite there being no external force, it surged violently due to Su Chengyu’s own enlightenment!

And the golden text that had entered Su Chengyu’s Sea of Consciousness back in Liuli Country finally shone brightly once again.
