”I have met my match, my real match!”
When Zhou Bao's Demon Fire collided with Ye Qingtian's Star River Essential Qi for the first time, they both felt that each other's Internal Qi was not only vigorous, but also powerful.
Ye Qingtian's Internal Qi was quite special, which made the Gang Qi that he cultivated special as well. When it was launched, the world sparkled with stars as if a starry river was coming out of his body. Along with the starlight and its chill air, Ye Qingtian's Internal Qi collided with his Nine Dragons Heavenly Kylin Gang, and the essence of the world around them was immediately stirred into a mess the moment that the coldness collided with the heat.
Boom!
When the two different Gang Qi met, an explosive sound of thunder rumbled out of the blue, shocking not only the over 100 ordinary people who followed Zhou Bao and had completely passed out just now, but also those assassins who had come from the Li dynasty that were hiding in the shadows and waiting for an opportunity to end his life. The assassins were stunned stiff and forced to reveal themselves unsteadily.
”It seems to me that you brought quite a few men with you!”
After their Gang Qi had collided, they both backed up a few steps. Staring at the nine people thrown out of darkness, Zhou Bao laughed.
”Humph, they are useless and no threat to you at all. Their presence will make no difference in this fight!” Ye Qingtian sneered. ”If they join us, they will all die!”
”Well, you're fighting me. Do you have a death wish too?” Zhou Bao smiled and raised his hand, grabbing the Golden-Scaled Crudgel to attack him. ”How about my 72 Strokes of Evil?”
”It's just a cheap trick!” Seeing Zhou Bao's cudgel, Ye Qingtian smiled and raised his hand. Suddenly, numerous spots of tiny starlight were circling and guarding his body like fireflies.
Zhou Bao's Golden-Scaled Cudgel was a Wizard Weapon which was extremely heavy, but when smashing the starlight, it bounced back with endless chills crawling to his hands along the Golden-Scaled Cudgel.
”Your Divine Weapon is quite good, but you are using it the wrong way. Moreover, this weapon didn't infuse into you, so you can hardly use one ten-thousandth of its power. Zhou Bao, be serious and show me what you've got. Or else, today is doomed to be your last day!”
Ye Qingtian easily blocked Zhou Bao's Golden-Scaled Cudgel, while his face turned dark as if he was unsatisfied with Zhou Bao's loose attitude. He raised his hand and the flying starlight around him formed a tremendous cover that moved straight toward Zhou Bao.
”I know that trick too!” Zhou Bao laughed and packed up his Golden-Scaled Crudgel, shaking his body and motivating the Nine Dragons Heavenly Fire Gang. The Gang Qi was congealed into the Nine Dragons Heavenly Fire Shield with nine dragons spiraling on it, and it rushed into the starlight.
Boom!
The two shields crashed into each other. However, neither one was able to beat the other and they both vanished together.
”Alright!” Ye Qingtian whispered as he motivated all his Internal Qi and then the Star River Essential Qi flashed out. All of a sudden, a myriad of mysterious and distant forces penetrated through the hollow and were converged, rushing toward Ye Qingtian. It had just been the middle of the day and the sun had been shining brightly. But now, as streams of force emerged, numerous starlights appeared in the clear sky, and the sun and the stars were appearing simultaneously.
”He is guiding the star force. Where did he gather so much Star River Essential Qi? And he completely integrated it into his Internal Qi. That's incredible!” Green Spirit saw that the sky was immersed by the starlight and sent Zhou Bao a psywave stream. ”Don't butt heads with him. Now that he has guided the Nine Heavens Star Force, it's no use even if you attack it with all of your power. However, guiding the star force has its own limit, so he will not last long!”
”Understood!” Zhou Bao gently nodded.
When the stars were sparkling in the sky, Zhou Bao felt that Ye Qingtian's temperament had undergone tremendous changes, as if he had suddenly turned into a giant mountain, standing right in front of Zhou Bao.
”Since you aren't attacking first, I'll do it. The infinite starry sky converges every single star. The Starlight Infinite Claw!”
Numerous stars were converged to form a giant claw and violently rushed toward Zhou Bao.
As soon as the claw had stretched out, the world changed and the temperature suddenly dropped by several dozen degrees, as if it had suddenly fallen into a world of snow and ice.
Zhou Bao did not dare to relax his vigilance in the face of the Starlight Claw. He stretched his hands out and shot countless fireballs toward the Starlight Claw.
Seeing those fireballs, Ye Qingtian just sneered. ”Zhou Bao, do you have a death wish?” As he spoke, the claw dispersed wave after wave of chills, which immediately devoured all the fireballs and reached in front of Zhou Bao's eyes.
”I might disagree!” Staring at the Starlight Claw, Zhou Bao's Gang Qi burst out of his body. He raised his hands, and suddenly a golden splendor exploded in that claw.
It was the Great Fusion Technique!
Pfft!
The Great Fusion Technique blasted a hole in the powerful Starlight Claw and then the claw loosened. A strange expression crossed Ye Qingtian's face. Zhou Bao pointed at him with his finger, and the golden splendor appeared again.
It was the Great Fusion Technique again!
”What an excellent Divine Sense!” Ye Qingtian could not help praising it. He hunched his body, only to find that the Great Fusion Technique had exploded in the starlight around him and shook his foundation, and the star force guided from the Nine Heavens was also shaken.
”This is awesome! The Great Fusion Technique is really powerful!” Having seen that his two fusion techniques had beaten Ye Qingtian back and the Nine Heavens Star Force started to shake, Zhou Bao was so delighted.
”It's too early to be happy. Though the Great Fusion Technique is quite strong, you can't release it constantly. This guy is now prepared, so it won't be that easy next time!” said Green Spirit, with his spirit bouncing.
Sure enough, when Zhou Bao's third Great Fusion Technique was released, a stream of starlight started to flash. Zhou Bao clearly felt that a stream of strong force flowing down from the Nine Heavens defused the Great Fusion Technique, and at the same time, the Nine Heavens Star Force that had been shaken by the Great Fusion Technique was stabilized again.
Ye Qingtian stretched out his body, shooting out a myriad of starlight that rushed over to surround Zhou Bao.
”The Starlight Prison!”
The speed of the lights was approaching the extreme. Faced with the high-speed starlight, Zhou Bao had nowhere to hide. All he could do was motivate his Gang Qi to protect himself and put up his Poison Cold Shield.
When the starlight hit on top of the Gang Qi, Zhou Bao finally figured out what was going on. There were a total of 81 streams of starlight. Each starlight contained a huge amount of power that formed a prison trapping and demobilizing him.
Meanwhile, numerous chills in each starlight started to erode Zhou Bao's body.
”Humph, the Starlight Prison. Do you really think that this thing can trap me?” Zhou Bao motivated all his Internal Qi and struggled to free himself.
Bang!
The small prison cell was not big, but once it was tilted by Zhou Bao's power, it immediately rolled up turbulent waves, as if a giant mountain was about to be lifted, and space around shook with it.
”What a strong force. However, my Starlight Prison is made from the Nine Heavens Star Force. Do you think that you can fight against the stars in the Nine Heavens alone?”
Seeing that Zhou Bao's struggle could release such huge power, Ye Qingtian was in shock, but he knew that even with this power, Zhou Bao had no way to escape from his prison, which was made of the Nine Heavens Star Force. Yet, he would not relax. Restricting Zhou Bao with the Starlight Prison was just his first step.
”Infinite Star River! Boundless Way of Heaven!” Ye Qingtian trapped Zhou Bao with the Starlight Prison and raised his right hand. The star force of a complete day began to converge in his fingertips, and then the starlight suddenly flashed, forming a sword light that shot fiercely toward Zhou Bao.
The Star River Divine Way Sword!
The power of the sword was enormous. The sword chopped as if it would cut out the whole world. The world started to tremble as it felt the majestic power of the sword.
”I can also wield a sword!” A red light flashed between Zhou Bao's eyebrows, then a crimson-black Sword Qi appeared out of the blue.
Swish!
This Sword Qi, different from the Star River Divine Way Sword, was not as enormous as the starry river but had an endless murderous intent that the Star River Divine Way Sword could never have.
That killing intent, extremely sharp and destructive, as if it was all contained in this sword, was now released freely.
This sword broke off all the restrictions of the Starlight Prison and collided with the Star River Divine Way Sword. At this time, the killing intent showed up. The crimson-black Sword Qi broke the Star River Divine Way Sword quickly and smashed the starlight Sword Qi. The crimson-black Sword Qi became darker, but it did not fade away, rushing toward Ye Qingtian.
”What?” Seeing the unstoppable Sword Qi, a terrified expression appeared on Ye Qingtian's face. The starlight around Ye Qingtian formed a huge shield in front of him, yet his body jumped to the side when the Sword Qi hit the Starlight Shield.
Pfff! The Yin and Yang Heavenly Sword broke the Starlight Shield, becoming darker and dispersing suddenly, but it did not disappear. It was transformed into millions of threads of Sword Qi flying toward Ye Qingtian from all directions.
Seeing these innumerable threads of Sword Qi, Ye Qingtian smiled and gently waved his sleeves, and then numerous starlights converged to smash the Sword Qi.
But later, his facial expression changed.
A majestic and enormous power came from the inside of the Starlight Prison and destroyed the prison.
He saw Zhou Bao with a sneer on his face make a seal with his hands and imprint toward him from the sky.
The Flipping Sky Seal!
One seal had broken the prison, and another seal had directly smashed the Starlight Shield around Ye Qingtian.
