”Please!”
It was also Fang Yuan's wish to be able to fight with Lin Qianye once more.
The people of Thousand Year Mountain crept out of their hiding spots to watch, although they were given the order to hide.
It was a rare opportunity to spectate a death match between a highly-skilled martial artist and a highly-skilled dream master.
”Whoosh!”
A Leaving Fire Sword appeared in Fang Yuan's hands and the flames burnt brilliantly. ”Have you regretted what you've done?”
”Regret? You dream masters are a poisonous tumour to society! The only regret I have is killing too few of you!”
Lin Qianye laughed. ”Even if I die killing you, it will be worth it!”
It seemed that Lin Qianye knew of his predicament.
If he were to lose, he would die.
Even if he were to win and kill Fang Yuan, Elder Smelter wouldn't let him go!
Death was his only option and therefore, the best outcome for him was to die together with Fang Yuan.
This was how pitiful it was to be part of the weaker force!
”Alright, it is only times like this that I can hear what you truly feel!”
Fang Yuan smiled and struck his sword out. The sword essence of the Leaving Fire Sword exploded.
”Lin Qianye is indeed crazy! Nothing could save him!”
Elder Smelter glared at Venerable Longhu. ”Is this how you teach your disciples?”
”Of course not!”
Venerable Longhu was stunned. He could feel the death wish from Lin Qianye!
Inside, he sighed. Lin Qianye's parents were killed by dream masters and the love of his life was abducted by a dream master as well. All of these had let to the change in his personality.
”This is just sword essence!”
8 spiritual meridians appeared behind Lin Qianye's back as he rushed forward. ”Thousand Leaves Palm!”
”Whoosh!”
Both his hands released elemental force and turned translucent. With continuous strikes, he extinguished the sword essence.
”Kurong Double Posture-Killing the Devil!”
As a Wu Zong with 8 spiritual meridians, he was just one step to forming the Divine Body and become a True Divine.
With a flash, Lin Qianye quickly arrived in front of Fang Yuan and sliced down with his hands.
Behind him, the 8 spiritual meridians came together to form a figure, half of which appeared wilted and the other half healthy. With this, his body was strengthened.
This was putting all of his strength in one strike, preparing to kill Fang Yuan in a single blow!
”Impressive!”
If Fang Yuan was a normal dream master, he would have been stunned by the spiritual aura of the Kurong Mysterious Technique. With a split second of hesitation, he would probably be killed on the spot.
But Fang Yuan was not only a dream master, he was also a Wu Zong!
His thoughts ran quickly as a dim golden glow emitted from his body. The 4 spiritual meridians behind his back quickly formed a spiritual armour as he retreated.
At the same time, in his left hand, a blue Water Sword appeared as well. ”Water-Fire Dual Sword Array! Kill!”
”Whoosh! Whoosh!”
Streaks of red and blue sword essence trapped Lin Qianye at where he was before exploding.
”Oh? You've achieved a breakthrough? No wonder you dare to fight against me! How can such a dual-sword array be so powerful?”
Lin Qianye shook and could feel a pressure within him. He finally realised that the person in front of him was a worthy opponent and he had to focus.
”Buzz! Buzz!”
The Kurong Figure assimilated into his back and spiritual inscriptions appeared on his body. Even half of his face started to dry up and appeared as though it was wilting.
Although his appearance was disfigured, his body became extremely strong. As the sword essence landed on his body, only pelting sounds were heard.
'Brother, you have finally improved...'
Seeing this scene, Venerable Longhu sighed.
If Lin Qianye could survive the fight, he could possibly condense the Divine Body after 3 years of meditation and arrive at the peak of martial arts!
However, all breakthroughs would require an immense amount of resources.
Even though he might break through to the next stage, his cultivation would not immediately follow.
Witnessing the fight, Elder Smelter started to feel increasingly aggressive.
”Die!”
Lin Qianye roared like a beast, but all his moves were to perfection as he forced Fang Yuan to his limits.
”Hmm... It seems like sword essence alone would not be able to kill you.”
Fang Yuan struck his swords out continuously like a river stream.
Although Lin Qianye was immune to the weaker sword essences, the main sword essence could still hurt him. Therefore, the physical body of the magical soldiers would surely be able to kill him.
After a series of exchanges, there were a few bloodied scars on Lin Qianye and his expression became increasingly frenzied.
”Magical Technique of Burning Blood!”
He roared as his skin exploded. Instantly, he became a bloodied person and resisted all the sword essences before arriving before Fang Yuan. ”Die!”
”Water and Fire, strike together!”
Fang Yuan clenched his teeth and struck both swords out. A slight rumbling of thunder was heard.
”Whoosh!”
The ground shook and the dust flew.
Venerable Longhu sighed and Elder Smelter seemed worried.
”Great... I finally died in your hands...”
Lin Qianye looked at the sword in his hands and had a mixed expression.
After finishing his sentence, his forehead exploded, revealing a charred scar inflicted by a sword. He fell to the ground, motionless.
'The Water-Fire Dual Sword Array is on par with you. The final thunder-type sword essence made the difference...'
Fang Yuan wiped the blood on his mouth, turned around and faced Elder Smelter. ”Fortunately, I did not disgrace the dream masters!”
”Great! This is great!”
