"This is truly exchanging life for power."
Even those in the Demon Path who yearn for the growth of power are constantly cultivating for the sake of extending their lifespan.
You see, those in the Demon Path readily use forbidden techniques to risk their lives, but in reality, it’s only the Devil’s Children who are reckless. The true old devils cherish their lives imnsely, possessing a set of life-preserving Martial Arts.
The sword technique practiced by Zhu Kong required a higher ntal State than the Demon Technique, and the more he practiced, the shorter his lifespan grew.
At this mont, the murderous intent on the long sword in Zhu Kong’s hand grew even denser, and even his eyes quietly took on a gray hue.
"Die!"
The Killing Sword and Pure Yang Sword collided once again, but this ti, it easily cut through the Magic Sword Qi Soldier, with gray Sword Qi slashing directly towards Yun Zheng’s neck.
In the face of imminent danger, a bright light flashed in Yun Zheng’s eyes, and a pure white Sword Light, seemingly composed of sunlight, suddenly flew out from his mouth, shooting towards Zhu Kong’s brow.
In that instant, it had beco a battle of life and death.
True Master Tianyang quietly clenched his hands, but could only helplessly let them fall.
Such a duel, though seemingly a re sparring, was indeed for the sake of their Sect’s stature, with both parties determined for a fight to the death. To prevent any irrational thoughts, the protective Array was set up at the highest level, capable of blocking a strike from the Divinity Realm.
After this strike, it was clear that True Master Tianyang wouldn’t be able to prevent the imminent outco.
Lin Jianfeng and others had similar thoughts, but they were even more pitiful, without even a chance to try.
Under everyone’s gaze, Yun Zheng dodged the sword aid at his neck, but was still slashed across the chest by a subsequent change in attack.
And Zhu Kong was struck by the fast-as-lightning Sword Light in the brow.
"Bang—"
Yun Zheng’s body fell, but he still managed to prop himself up, showing a smile: "Sever ignorance and greed."
After speaking, he could no longer hold on and fell backwards.
"Severing ignorance and greed, Daoist Tianyang, your Sect indeed has a successor," laughed Zhang Yuanchu.
"Luck, pure luck!" replied True Master Tianyang.
Although it appeared that Yun Zheng had lost, from the perspective of Zhang Yuanchu and others, they could see that Yun Zheng was rely severely injured. With tily dical treatnt, there was absolutely no need to worry about his survival. But Zhu Kong...
Having been directly hit by the Mind Sword of the Heavenly Escape Sword Technique, even if Yun Zheng was of weak cultivation, surviving would be difficult.
In the arena, Zhu Kong slowly knelt on one knee, propping himself with his sword, a crimson mark appearing on his brow.
The light in his eyes slowly faded, and Zhu Kong seed to beco a vegetative person, just kneeling stiffly on the ground.
"Although I erased the True Qi in ti, this move is a Mind Sword; it’s a win for my Chunyang Palace." True Master Tianyang, stroking his long beard, smiled.
The Heavenly Escape Sword Technique was a sword control technique combining Mind Power and True Qi, and those who achieved Great Success could decapitate soone from a thousand miles away. Although Zhu Kong blocked the True Qi, he couldn’t defend against the Mind Power. At this mont, the Mind Sword was also tornting Zhu Kong’s spirit, calling for its annihilation.
"That remains to be seen!"
A thin figure in a blue Daoist robe appeared on the high platform of Luo Fu Palace, his face so emaciated it was just skin and bones, with a strange smile hanging on it.
"Greetings, Palace Master," Lin Jianfeng and others bowed.
"Hua Yufei, you’ve actually beco this ghostly figure? Ha ha, the Luo Fu Jade Sword Lord of the past has turned into Sword Ghost now," upon seeing this person, True Master Tianyang was first shocked, then jeered.
Hua Yufei was once considered a beautiful gentleman, known throughout the world as the Luo Fu Jade Sword Lord. But now, he looked more like a ghost than a person, a stark contrast to his forr handso appearance—it was like comparing heaven and earth.
"I am fortunate enough to have survived; I ask for nothing more."
Hua Yufei sat casually on the central cushion, looking down from above at True Master Tianyang, "Tianyang, you should be concerned not about , but about your disciple."
"Your injuries have healed—wait, what do you an?" True Master Tianyang felt a chill in his heart and involuntarily turned to look towards the center of the square.
At that mont, Yun Zheng had suffered severe sword injuries. Although the sword marks on his chest were not deep due to a change in the move, the area they covered was extensive. Logically, this should have resulted in heavy bleeding.
But in reality, only a few drops of dark red blood slowly dripped to the ground.
"The victor is decided, open the array." Zhang Yuanchu ordered.
Yun Zheng’s vitality was rapidly fading, soon to be like a candle in the wind. If not treated soon, it would be too late.
"That’s right, the victor is decided, open the array," Hua Yufei said mockingly as he glanced at Zhang Yuanchu and chuckled.
This future Heavenly Master of Dragon Tiger Mountain openly and covertly favored Chunyang Palace. Although he had not violated any principles or done anything as egregious as making a false call, his partiality was clear to all.
Considering which Sect hosted this Debating Conference, the relationship between Dragon Tiger Mountain and Chunyang Palace was naturally easy to deduce.
However...
This ti, Dragon Tiger Mountain had miscalculated.
A sneer ford on Hua Yufei’s lips.
Dragon Tiger Mountain did not expect Shenxiao Dao to suddenly intervene, nor did they anticipate that I had fully recovered from my injuries and significantly increased my strength.
These two oversights would lead the expected course of the Debating Conference in an unpredictable direction.
As the array’s protective light shield disappeared, True Master Tianyang quickly moved to Yun Zheng’s side and helped him up.
"This blood?" True Master Tianyang touched so dark crimson blood, sensing the intense murderous intent within, "Evil!!"
The murderous intent infiltrated the blood, completely eradicating its vitality, turning it into dead blood, no different from the blood of a corpse left overnight.
Given this, it was no surprise that Yun Zheng’s vitality had vanished so quickly.
"Weapons are blind; Elder, please do not bla us."
The voice ca from his side, and Zhu Kong, kneeling on one knee, regained his spirit and slowly stood up.
The vermillion between his brows still vivid, forming a narrow, flattened sword mark, added a sowhat eerie aspect to his appearance.
"The murderous intent is chilling; breaking the Mind Sword, does Luo Fu Palace possess such Evil Skills and still counts as part of our Daoist community?" True Master Tianyang turned and questioned.
"Where there is Yang, there is Yin; although our Taoist Sect is Righteous, we are not without Yin Evil Techniques. The Heavenly Yin Seven Evil Saber of the past was a Taoist Technique, Dragon Tiger Mountain’s Driving Gods and Enslaving Ghosts Technique is a Taoist Technique, so why can’t this be?" Hua Yufei sat upright on the cushion, coldly smiling in response.
"You..." True Master Tianyang wanted to retort but couldn’t pinpoint the weakness.
In Taoist Martial Arts, there has never been a distinction between Righteous and Evil. So Yin Evil Skills are even more dangerous than Demon Techniques, and kinds of Killing Sword are not unique.
What Hua Yufei said stood firm, unfazed by True Master Tianyang’s questioning.
"Boom—" The sound of a gong interrupted their argunt.
Zhang Yuanchu gently struck the copper bell, calmly declaring, "The victor has been decided, Luo Fu Palace wins. Daoist Tianyang, please take your nephew Yun Zheng down for treatnt."
Despite his bias towards Chunyang Palace, Zhang Yuanchu still ensured fairness. As Dragon Tiger Mountain traditionally dominated the Supre Taoist Sect, basic fairness could not be compromised.
