Chapter 4195: The Power of Three Moves

As a core disciple of the Taibai Sword Sect, he naturally wouldn't resort to underhanded tactics in a sparring match, as that would damage the sect's reputation.

“This is not the place for a duel. Please follow me.” Cao Yufeng said.

They left Yunlang City and arrived at a vast, undulating mountain range. It wasn't far from Yunlang City; for Golden Immortal cultivators, it was just a matter of a few breaths.

Cao Yufeng and the young woman in the yellow skirt stood atop a steep peak. Wang Changsheng, Wang Ruyan, and Murong Yilong stood on an open patch of ground, while the young man in the red shirt stood not far away. The four were separated by a considerable distance.

With a flick of his right hand, the young man in the red shirt caused a red light to flash, and a glowing red longsword appeared in his grasp. It was a mid-grade immortal artifact.

A shrill sword hum resounded. As the red longsword swayed gently, a bright red light emanated from the young man's right hand, from which surged a stream of crimson lava.

“Be careful, fellow daoists. Don't assume that because you've cultivated to the peak of true spirit, you can necessarily withstand a perfected Lava Law.” The young man in the red shirt cautioned them, openly stating his capabilities.

“A perfected Lava Law!” Wang Changsheng's expression remained unchanged. After all, it was perfectly reasonable for a core disciple of the Taibai Sword Sect to have cultivated a law to perfection.

With a flick of his wrist, the young man in the red shirt unleashed three streaks of red sword light that surged towards Wang Changsheng and the other two.

Before the red sword lights even reached them, the ground spontaneously ignited and tore open, sending flames soaring into the sky.

Murong Yilong punched out, and a giant golden fist flashed forth, meeting one of the red sword lights head-on.

After a loud crash, the golden fist was cleaved in two by the red sword light, which instantly appeared before Murong Yilong.

Murong Yilong showed no fear. His right fist blazed with golden light as he met it, shattering the red sword light. A wave of crimson lava then engulfed his body, transforming an area of a hundred thousand li around him into a sea of molten rock.

A white halo of light flared, and a puff of white smoke rose as the molten rock cooled, revealing Murong Yilong. A dim golden barrier of spiritual light covered his body, and a faint bleeding cut marked his right hand.

The fact that a single sword light could injure Murong Yilong showed the young man in the red shirt's immense power.

On the other side, Wang Changsheng's hands swept across the void, and a massive Tai Chi diagram instantly materialized.

The red sword light struck the Tai Chi diagram, which rotated rapidly, pulverizing the sword light.

“A perfected Yin-Yang Law!” The young woman in the yellow skirt exclaimed in surprise, casting another look at Wang Changsheng.

Wang Ruyan, meanwhile, summoned a shimmering blue treasured umbrella, which floated above her head, unfurling a blue water curtain that shielded her.

Wang Ruyan donned a mid-grade Chaos Armor and then produced a blue pipa. Her fingers swept across its strings, unleashing waves of blue sound.

The red sword light, with overwhelming momentum, easily shattered the waves of blue sound and struck the blue water curtain. The water curtain caved in, and a burst of crimson magma erupted, engulfing Wang Ruyan in a cloud of white mist.

Soon after, a white halo of light swept out, and the crimson magma slowly receded. The blue water curtain had shattered, but Wang Ruyan, protected by her Chaos Armor, was unharmed.

Among the three, Wang Changsheng, who wielded the Yin-Yang Law, was the most at ease.

“Next is the Sword Law. Do not try to withstand it with your physical bodies.” The young man in the red shirt warned them. With a shake of his right hand, the red longsword flew from his grasp and floated above his head.

He formed a sword seal, and the red longsword gently swayed, unleashing a vast expanse of red sword qi that surged towards Wang Changsheng and the other two.

Midway, the dense red sword qi converged into three colossal, shimmering red greatswords. The sky seemed to collapse, and the earth split open, forming three enormous fissures in the ground.

The colossal greatsword struck the Tai Chi diagram, which immediately flared with light and began to spin rapidly.

With a loud boom, the colossal greatsword exploded into countless sharp red sword qi, which then assailed Wang Changsheng. All were blocked by the Tai Chi diagram.

Murong Yilong moved both fists, and with a series of piercing whooshes, golden giant fists flew out.

With a loud crash, the colossal greatsword sliced through the incoming golden fists and instantly appeared before Murong Yilong.

Murong Yilong was already wearing a mid-grade Chaos Armor, which the Murong family had acquired at great expense.

He punched out, colliding with the colossal greatsword. With a dull thud, a tear appeared in his mid-grade Chaos Armor, and a long bleeding gash appeared on Murong Yilong's right fist, with bone faintly visible. Had the mid-grade Chaos Armor not absorbed much of the damage, his hand would have been lost.

Murong Yilong's expression turned grim. No wonder the opponent didn't take him seriously; the gap between their powers was immense.

Wang Ruyan summoned a shimmering golden metal sphere. She infused it with a spell, and the sphere immediately glowed brightly, transforming into a gigantic golden-armored guard.

Wang Ruyan formed a spell, and the golden-armored guard opened its mouth to unleash a thick golden beam of light, which was instantly cleaved by the colossal greatsword. The greatsword then struck the guard's chest, sending it flying backward. A thick, long crack appeared on its chest, but soon, countless golden runes glowed on its chest, and the crack healed.

“Qianguang Immortal Clay!” The young woman in the yellow skirt exclaimed in surprise. This material could be used to refine high-grade immortal artifacts, though a large quantity was needed. It could also be incorporated into immortal puppets to enhance their defensive capabilities.

This Golden Immortal-stage puppet beast had a small piece of Qianguang Immortal Clay incorporated into it, resulting in fairly good defensive capabilities.

“For the final blow, the Law of Destruction!” After speaking, the young man in the red shirt gripped the red longsword and unleashed a single strike. Three immensely powerful red sword lights surged forth, heading directly for Wang Changsheng and the other two.

The destructive power of the Law of Destruction was formidable. While the Law of Death only targeted living beings, the Law of Destruction was different; it annihilated everything, including puppet beasts.

“The Law of Destruction!” Murong Yilong's expression grew serious. The destructive power of the Law of Destruction was astonishing and incredibly difficult to master.

His body glowed with intense red light. Moving both fists, he sent forth a series of red giant fists to meet the attack, simultaneously summoning a shimmering red shield to guard himself.

Wang Changsheng's body radiated intense spiritual light, and his Tai Chi diagram expanded a hundredfold as it rose to meet the attack.

The red sword light struck the Tai Chi diagram. The diagram trembled briefly, then spun rapidly, causing the red sword light to vibrate and slowly disperse.

The Yin-Yang Law is the essence of the world. Creation is the beginning, and destruction is the end; creation and destruction are two facets of Yin and Yang.

Wang Ruyan's fingers swept across the pipa strings, unleashing waves of blue sound that were all shattered by the red sword light.

Her right hand blazed with blue light. She struck out with her palm, causing the red sword light to explode and be sent flying backward.

Murong Yilong cried out in agony, flying backward and spitting out a large mouthful of vital blood, his face turning pale.

In contrast, Wang Changsheng and Wang Ruyan's faces were slightly pale, but they were otherwise unharmed. They had only managed to block this strike by employing the Fusion Aperture Art.
