Chapter 1359: Intense Magical Duel

The Dongli Realm has a Spirit Arts Rankings, where only exceptionally powerful spirit arts are listed. Sword-based spirit arts are rare on this list, but those that do appear are highly ranked. Wang Qingshan had previously searched through the entire Spirit Arts Rankings but couldn't find the Azure Lotus Demon Slaying Slash, which had left him somewhat disappointed. Now, however, it was clear that the Azure Lotus Demon Slaying Slash was indeed formidable.

Dense golden light beams pierced through the azure sun and shot directly towards Wang Qingshan.

Wang Qingshan changed his sword incantation, and the nine azure flying swords immediately flared with brilliant azure light. The sound of swords humming grew louder as a vast expanse of incomparably sharp azure sword energy swept forth, meeting the dense golden light beams.

A resounding crash! The azure sword energy shattered the incoming golden light beams, unleashing powerful waves of air.

At this moment, the azure sun had already vanished.

Golden Mirror Cultivator's gaze became solemn. Hundreds of gleaming golden small mirrors floated in the void behind him.

With a flash of golden light, hundreds of golden small mirrors suddenly erupted with dazzling golden light. Each shot out a golden light beam as thick as a bowl. The hundreds of golden light beams converged mid-flight into a single golden light beam over ten zhang in diameter. Wherever it passed, the void twisted, emitting a piercing sound of tearing air, as if the very space was on the verge of ripping apart.

"Demon Slaying Golden Mirror!" Wang Qingshan's expression turned solemn. This spirit art, ranked fifty-fifth on the Spirit Arts Rankings, and unleashed by the mid-Nascent Soul stage Golden Mirror Cultivator, possessed power that could not be underestimated.

He took a deep breath and changed his sword incantation. The nine azure flying swords immediately flared with bright azure light, rotating rapidly and transforming into nine azure lotus flowers, each about a zhang in size.

The nine azure lotus flowers burst forth with dazzling azure light, and the humming of swords intensified. As the nine azure lotus flowers rotated rapidly, countless azure sword energies shot forth, spontaneously generating nine powerful currents of air. These currents transformed into nine azure tornadoes, each over a hundred zhang tall, to meet the golden light beam.

This was the Azure Lotus Wind Sword Art, which generates air currents using sword energy, possessing the speed of wind-type spells.

An azure tornado collided with the golden light beam, unleashing a piercing clang of metal striking metal. Golden light flickered incessantly, and a powerful wave of air swept outwards.

A series of rumbling sounds erupted. After the golden light beam consecutively shattered seven azure tornadoes, it finally vanished.

Wang Qingshan made a sword gesture, and the nine azure flying swords merged into one amidst a dazzling azure light. They transformed into an azure lotus flower over ten zhang wide. The azure lotus spun rapidly, unleashing countless dense azure sword energies. A thousand-zhang-tall azure tornado appeared out of nowhere and swept towards Golden Mirror Cultivator.

A massive whirlpool appeared on the surface of the sea. As the azure tornado moved, the whirlpool grew larger and larger.

Hundreds of golden small mirrors each shot out a golden light beam. The hundreds of golden light beams submerged into the azure tornado, vanishing without a trace, like mud sinking into the sea.

Golden Mirror Cultivator's expression turned grim. He hadn't expected Wang Qingshan to be so difficult to deal with. As the saying goes, a great reputation is rarely unfounded; no wonder Wang Qingshan was so renowned.

This was not just a simple spirit art; even a magic treasure attack like the Red Lotus Mirror couldn't block it.

He flipped his palm, and with a flash of white light, a small, gleaming white mirror appeared in his hand, emitting wisps of cold air.

He aimed the mirror at the azure tornado. With a flash of white light, over a hundred white orbs of light shot out, vanishing instantly as they entered the azure tornado.

The azure tornado's speed slowed, and it gradually froze, transforming into a white tornado. Before long, the tornado stopped, becoming an ice sculpture less than ten zhang from Golden Mirror Cultivator.

Wang Qingshan changed his sword incantation, but the white tornado remained completely intact, showing no reaction.

Hundreds of golden small mirrors once again shot out a golden light beam, transforming into a ten-zhang-diameter golden light beam that struck towards Wang Qingshan with devastating force.

Wang Qingshan's expression changed. A large amount of azure light emerged around his body, and after a blur, he transformed into countless three-foot-long azure flying swords. With a surge in the humming of swords, over a thousand azure flying swords flew directly towards the golden light beam.

"Clang, clang, clang!" The golden light beam, like autumn wind sweeping fallen leaves, shattered all the incoming azure flying swords.

"Break!" Wang Qingshan roared, changing his incantation.

A resounding crash! The golden light beam was shattered into pieces, erupting with dazzling golden light, and transforming into a golden sun hundreds of zhang wide, enveloping Wang Qingshan.

A powerful wave of air rapidly swept outwards, quickly passing over the sea surface and causing low-level demonic beasts to surface one by one.

Even from afar, Wang Qingling and the others felt a stinging pain in their eardrums.

A cold gleam intensified in Golden Mirror Cultivator's eyes. He opened his mouth, and a golden light flew out, revealing an ancient-looking small golden mirror with a golden sun pattern carved on its back.

This was the ancient treasure, Sun Mirror of Radiance, his life-bound magic treasure and one of his trump cards, which he would not use lightly.

He tossed the Sun Mirror of Radiance forward and cast several incantations into it. The golden sun on the back of the Sun Mirror of Radiance immediately came to life, erupting with dazzling golden light. A ten-zhang-diameter golden scorching sun appeared high in the sky, causing the void to twist, seemingly unable to withstand the high temperatures it emitted.

With a flash of golden light, over a hundred golden fireballs, each the size of a water vat, flew out from the golden scorching sun. They swarmed into the golden sun, emitting a massive roar.

Golden Mirror Cultivator's face lit up with delight. This was no ordinary flame, but the Sun Radiance True Flame. Even thick-skinned Nascent Soul stage demon beasts couldn't withstand the Sun Radiance True Flame, let alone Wang Qingshan. He lightly flicked his finger towards Wang Qingshan's location, and a faint, almost invisible golden light shot out, submerging into the golden sun.

Wang Qingling and the other Wang family cultivators simultaneously showed expressions of worry, while Liu Xinchao and the others exchanged glances, their faces filled with shock.

To be honest, if it were them, they absolutely could not withstand Golden Mirror Cultivator's attack.

Five breaths later, the golden sun dissipated, revealing Wang Qingshan's figure.

Wang Qingshan's expression was as usual. His clothes were completely intact, and he appeared calm and at ease.

He possessed the spiritual treasure Azure Lotus Lamp and a wisp of Azure Lotus Karma Fire, so the Sun Radiance True Flame could not harm him.

"Impossible!" Golden Mirror Cultivator was dumbfounded, his face filled with shock.

Liu Xinchao and the others simultaneously showed expressions of shock. Wang Qingshan had endured Golden Mirror Cultivator's attack and was actually unharmed?

Wang Qingshan's gaze turned cold. He made a sword gesture, and the white tornado suddenly burst apart. An azure lotus flower over ten zhang wide suddenly flew out. The azure lotus spun rapidly, unleashing countless azure sword energies that struck towards Golden Mirror Cultivator.

Golden Mirror Cultivator frowned, made an incantation gesture, and the golden scorching sun spat out dozens of golden fireballs.

A tremendous roar! A series of deafening explosions rang out as the golden fireballs were shattered. Golden flames splashed onto the sea surface, creating waves over ten zhang high. A burst of blue smoke rose, but the golden flames did not extinguish; instead, they continued to burn on the sea surface.

The azure lotus spun rapidly, and dozens of massive azure petals shot out, transforming into three-foot-long azure flying swords that struck towards Golden Mirror Cultivator.

Golden Mirror Cultivator continuously made incantation gestures, and hundreds of golden mirrors each shot out golden light beams, striking towards the azure flying swords.

After a series of rumbling sounds, the azure flying swords either dispersed or were sent flying backward. The azure lotus transformed into specks of azure light and vanished. Nine faintly glowing azure flying swords then surrounded Golden Mirror Cultivator. The nine flying swords simultaneously vibrated, emitting clear, resonant hums.

"A sword formation!" Golden Mirror Cultivator's expression grew even grimmer. Trapped by Wang Qingshan's sword formation, he would be in trouble if Wang Qingshan harbored killing intent. To admit defeat in front of so many people was something he couldn't bring himself to do. However, he wasn't without trump cards.
