Chapter 1046 Unexpected Outcome (1/2)
When Qin Lian entered the black metal tower, she felt the scenery around her begin to change. By the time she came back to her senses, she found herself in an arena. The arena was extremely wide and made from azure jade. A faint glowing barrier rose from its borders, sealing it off from the outside.
She was evidently on one of the floors within the tower.
Qin Lian’s expression remained unchanged as fiercely stared at a certain spot in front of her. s.p.a.ce rippled faintly as a figure emerged.
It was the Crimson Cloud Sword Sect’s Zhang Chengfeng.
Zhang Chengfeng stared back at Qin Lian as he smiled and said, “I’ve long heard of miss Qin Lian’s overwhelming strength from junior brother Ji Hu. It seems that I’m going to be the unlucky one who experiences it today.”
However, Qin Lian had zero intention of answering him. With a grasp of her hand, a large scarlet blade appeared. The blade gleamed icily as the surrounding s.p.a.ce rippled a little.
Rumble!
Astonis.h.i.+ng Genesis Qi erupted from her body, and a Genesis Qi storm unfurled as a gla.s.s sun appeared behind her, accompanied by a terrifying pressure.
“A foundation of 2.1 billion…” Zhang Chengfeng’s pupils shrank a little. His opponent’s Genesis Qi foundation was 200 million greater than his own. This was not a small gap, and it would put him under a tremendous amount of pressure.
“Crossing hands with the sixth-ranker on the Heavenly Sun List will at least fulfill a wish of mine!” However, Zhang Chengfeng was no ordinary individual. Although the situation was somber, he showed no fear. He placed his hands together before slowly pulling them apart.
Scarlet-red Genesis Qi stretched from his palms and slowly took on the form of a burning three-foot-long sword. Numerous fiery runes decorated the blade. A searing heat spread, warping the surrounding s.p.a.ce.
Bzz!
Scarlet-red Genesis Qi erupted as a gla.s.s Heavenly Sun also appeared behind him.
However, there was clearly a difference between them even though they were both gla.s.s Heavenly Suns. At the very least, Qin Lian’s Genesis Qi was clearly much stronger than Zhang Chengfeng’s.
Thump!
Qin Lian tightly grasped the scarlet sparrow blade. A split second later, Genesis Qi rumbled as her figure turned into a bolt of scarlet lightning. Cheng Feng only saw a flash of scarlet before a scarlet-red blade ruthlessly slashed down at him with the cry of a sparrow.
Blade light swept forth as s.p.a.ce cracked and shattered.
Zhang Chengfeng did not dare to delay a single moment, and he immediately brought up his burning sword light to meet the attack.
Clang!
Blade and sword light collided as torrential fire spurted outwards, burning the air.
Qin Lian’s figure did not budge a single inch, but Zhang Chengfeng’s body was sent shooting backward. The flaming sword in his hand wailed, evidently unable to match Qin Lian’s ferocious attack.
The clash had clearly displayed the gap made from a difference of 200 million stars.
Swis.h.!.+
Qin Lian had no intention of relenting after the successful attack. She bent her long slender legs as flames exploded from her body, and her figure disappeared like a ghost.
Bzz! Bzz! Bzz!
Glowing scarlet-red blades seemed to fill the entire sky as they descended, cutting off any possible path of escape for Zhang Chengfeng.
“Little Saint Art, Crimson Cloud Sword Light!”
Genesis Qi frantically erupted from Zhang Chengfeng’s body as a wave of sword light swept outwards. The sword light gathered together like layers of churning crimson clouds that loomed towards Qin Lian.
Crimson Cloud Sword Light was one of the signature Genesis techniques of the Crimson Cloud Sword Sect. When used, sword light would become akin to clouds, stacking layer upon layer. Anyone it caught would find themselves inside a devastating cage of heavenly fire that was near impossible to escape.
Zhang Chengfeng clearly had no intention of warming up. He was going all-out.
Qin Lian narrowed her eyes. The long ponytail behind her abruptly exploded, and her fine black hair turned scarlet red. Her long hair drifted around her, making her appear like a scarlet sparrow with outstretched wings.
A low cry rang out from her mouth. “Little Saint Art, Scarlet Sparrow Dance!”
Lii!
She gracefully walked through the air, and her slender body twirled. She ferociously slashed with the scarlet sparrow blade in her hand, and it gushed out scarlet-red Genesis Qi.
A dancing scarlet sparrow seemed to emerge from the slash as it ruthlessly sliced into the crimson clouds with torrential momentum.
Chla!
The ripping of s.p.a.ce rang out as the dazzling blade fell. The endless crimson clouds were violently sliced apart, long cracks even appearing on the azure jade floor below. However, the jade seemed to possess some kind of repairing power. The cracks soon disappeared, returning the ground to its previous appearance.
