Chapter 124 (1/2)

On the stage, He Xunke smiled gently and said, “Fairy, please!”

Xiaoyue did not answer and appeared behind his back, but the figure where she stood before was still there. The crowd exclaimed, “It’s the advanced method of the Thousand Feathers Sect, Coalesced Colors Equal to Dust!”

He Xunke’s brows furrowed. “What the… Is this some clone technique?” He suddenly turned around and swept to the Xiaoyue at his back with the power that could break a tree. But he felt like he hit the water, and the fan crossed her body without obstruction.

He Xunke smiled coldly. “It really is just an illusion.” But the duster came to him out of nowhere. Although it looked soft, it had the strength that could break metal and stone. “Poom!” He failed to dodge it and was sent flying for meters.

On the ground, he panicked. It was just an illusion. How could an illusion attack him? Before he could think further, the Xiaoyue behind him attacked with duster again. He failed to avoid again and was sent flying for a dozen meters.

He wiped off the blood on the corner of his mouth and smiled. “This technique is indeed unique. What is it?”

The two figures of Xiaoyue merged into one, and she walked forth, leaving an illusion for each step. She said lightly, “The colors coalesces, and the dust equals. This is the mystic uniformity. This Coalesced Colors Equal to Dust created by the patriarch of our sect is not for you to understand. You are nothing but a martial artist.”

The crowd nodded upon hearing this and approved her. This was the essence of Daoism. Xiao Chen just smiled coldly in his heart. “It turns out Qianyu Nishang even learned my master’s Immortal-override Steps. Humph! It turns into the Coalesced Colors Equal to Dust of the Thousand Feathers Sect. Heihei!”

He Xunke smiled coldly. “Pleasure to see this!” Then, a golden light covered his body, and his hair stood on end. He no longer looked like that white-faced childe before.

“Whether color or dust, I’ll crush you into ashes!” He roared and charged to Xiaoyue like a 3-meter-long golden radiance.

He charged in an imposing, fierce manner as if he was a volcano that has been deposited for thousands of years. Even the crowd felt their faces were burning and thought it was a horrible power. Even a Core Forming Realm cultivator would be blown to ashes under this punch.

However, Xiaoyue stood still and swung her duster, saying, “For I am abstracted from the world，the world from nature，nature from the way，and the way from what is beneath abstraction.” After her voice fell, a soft white radiance appeared at the end of the duster. The radiance gradually spread out and shrouded He Xunke’s body as the golden light dimmed and disappeared.

This was an overpowered attack, but it became soft at the end. He was shocked and thought, “What happened? Why I feel my internal strength weakened?” Before he could think further, he was sent flying away by the duster again for meters.

“Roar!” A deep roar suddenly sounded under the stage. The monster flew to the stage and punched at Xiaoyue in the air. Xiaoyue lifted the sheath and drew a circle to him as a water column appeared and dashed to the monster’s shoulder.

“Slash!” Blood splashed. He Kui could not be damaged by a sword before, but now, his shoulder was pierced through by the water column and had a bowl-sized hole of blood. It looked like a blood rain, and the crowd retreated one after another.

“Nothing under heaven is softer or weaker than water, and yet nothing is better for attacking what is hard and strong,” Xiaoyue said lightly as another water column dashed forth. He Xunke was frightened and said, “Third Brother, retreat!” He then waved his arm as the folding fan flew forth. “Clan!” The fan was instantly shattered into pieces.

The frame of his folding fan was refined for 49 days by the Northern Dark Iron with Outer Meteorites. It was formidable and could easily break a normal cultivator’s flying sword. But now it was shattered into countless pieces by the water column.

Xiao Chen sneered repeatedly. This water column was indeed the cultivation technique of the Tianxuan School of the Mystic Cyan Sect, the 3,000 Weak Water. If one practiced it into extreme, it would be indestructible and could dissolve the target’s True Energy.

He Xunke roared as a giant illusion of a golden lion appeared beside him. Finally, he used the advanced technique of the He Family. He roared deeply and pounced to Xiaoyue like an angry lion. In the meantime, the skinny man under the stage also attacked from her back, turning into a golden ape.

Two fierce strength brought about gales around, and many people could not open their eyes because of it. However, Xiaoyue stood still and swung her duster. The wind on the stage instantly stopped. He Xunke and the skinny man slowed down as if they were walking in the water, shaking and crumbling.

“The best of men is like water; Water benefits all things and does not compete with them,” Xiaoyue said as she swung her duster. The air current turned into two water column which hit the two men. “Poom! Poom!” The two men kneeled on the stage.

The crowd burst out heaven-shaking applause. They sighed that this was the true essence of the Daoism, that they had learned so little. That was why they failed to defeat the ancient martial arts of the He Family.

“Do you two want to continue?” Xiaoyue asked lightly.

He Xunke and the skinny man looked at each other, and then they turned into two rows of golden light and moved to Xiaoyue with one from the left and one from the right. Xiaoyue swung her duster and stepped forth lightly. An illusion immediately appeared at her back. Before long, there were numerous illusions on the stage, and the two men could not hit the real Xiaoyue.

Being affected by the 3,000 Weak Water, the two men’s internal strength kept draining. They exchanged glances and wanted to retreat. Just as they tramped on the stage to fly off the stage, an illusion hit them back.

The illusions looked exactly the same as Xiaoyue, and they felt like hitting the air while punching the illusions. But, the illusions could actually damage them. He Xunke was soaked in sweat. He planned to establish some reputation today, yet he was defeated by this woman. He regretted that he had not figured out her strength before going on the stage.
