Li Chunlong's movement technique was extremely fast.
Moreover, this man was composed and calm, maintaining a low profile.
But his strength was formidable.
As his sword came, a surge of qi shot forth.
I saw it and quickly dodged.
Yet, I was still a fraction too slow. The sword energy grazed my shoulder, leaving a gash and a trickle of blood.
"It's sword energy!"
"My heavens! Aside from the disciples of Qingcheng Mountain who cultivate the secret technique Golden Light Sword Art,
I've never seen anyone release sword energy at the True Light realm!"
"Indeed! I wonder if Qin Ze can withstand it!"
"..."
I was also somewhat astonished.
The opponent's cultivation should be around my level.
However, his ability to release sword energy far surpassed mine.
As for me, I could only release sword energy by activating the third profound meaning of the Qin Kun True Method, the 'Destroy' character technique.
This was a formidable opponent, and I dared not be careless.
Retreating, I continuously parried with my sword.
Simultaneously, I formed a hand seal with my left hand.
"Heaven and Earth unbound, Qiankun lends its law, Enact!"
The other two swords from my sword bag flew out once more.
I began to use my Sword Control technique to deal with Li Chunlong.
Seeing this, Li Chunlong's brow furrowed. He raised his sword and struck:
"Yin Yang Sword Energy!"
With a "hum," a black and white sword shadow appeared.
It swept away the two swords I had sent forth, and even forced me back.
This fellow is truly powerful.
Not only that, after repelling my attack,
He pressed his advantage, engaging me in a fierce, head-on battle.
The opponent's intention was clear: to confront me directly.
I had already fought five consecutive matches, and my spiritual energy was significantly depleted.
If it were in the past, it might not have been a major issue.
But the problem was that before coming here, I had lost a lot of blood. My own blood essence was insufficient, making me ill-suited for intense, continuous combat.
This level of engagement left me breathless, and my body felt weak.
Ten moves, twenty moves, thirty moves...
My fight with Li Chunlong was exceptionally fierce.
Li Chunlong's sword energy constantly vibrated. Although its range was no more than a meter, it could still cut flesh.
I controlled my flying swords, attacking back and forth, distracting my opponent from all sides, searching for an opening.
After some exchanges, I realized that Li Chunlong seemed to know no incantations.
His swordplay and movement techniques alone were incredibly formidable.
Yet, with just these simple sword arts and footwork, he managed to suppress me.
Furthermore, in terms of Dao qi attributes, his opponent also possessed fire-attribute spiritual roots.
I did not have water-attribute spiritual roots, so I could not counter him.
From this perspective, I had to admire Li Chunlong.
With a single spiritual root and single martial technique, he could suppress me.
However, I had to win this battle.
Moreover, I did not intend to drag it out any longer, as it would be extremely disadvantageous for me.
It seemed I needed to deploy my next trump card.
I exchanged a sword strike with Li Chunlong, and we both recoiled.
Then, I heard myself say:
"Brother Li, I am about to use my ultimate move!"
Li Chunlong was actually quite shocked internally.
I had already fought five matches, and could still fight him to a draw.
At this moment, hearing me speak of a final move, he couldn't help but be surprised.
But soon, he regained his composure:
"Very well! One move to decide the victor."
As soon as he finished speaking, Li Chunlong suddenly raised his long sword and roared:
"Tai Chi Yin Yang, Yin Yang Sword!"
Upon uttering these words, Li Chunlong suddenly raised his long sword.
With a "hum," Li Chunlong's entire body erupted with powerful qi fluctuations.
On his long sword, two energies, one black and one white, began to swirl.
Many people below the arena widened their eyes.
"Quick, look! The profound essence of the Wudang ultimate technique, Yin Yang Sword."
"Boundless Celestial Venerable! Li Chunlong, at this age, has already comprehended the profound essence of the Yin Yang Sword!"
"Damn it, look at Qin Ze on the other side!"
"..."
Suddenly, someone exclaimed.
On the stage, I was no longer hiding my three-spiritual-root abilities.
In addition to the already exposed fire and wood spiritual roots,
At this moment, I activated my third spiritual root, the metal spiritual root.
Instantly, metal-attribute Dao qi began to erupt from within me, surging outward.
"My heavens, metal-attribute Dao qi."
"This kid is a three-attribute spiritual root?"
"Great heavens! Is there anyone in the world with three spiritual roots?"
"Possessing metal, wood, and fire all at once, this... this is too monstrous!"
"..."
Sounds of astonishment continued to erupt.
Everyone could tell that Li Chunlong and I were about to unleash our ultimate attacks.
I held my long sword.
The three spiritual power attributes were added together.
I prepared to gather the three attribute Dao qi for a single strike.
Concurrently, I formed a hand seal with my left hand.
Holding my sword with my right hand, I roared:
"Heaven and Earth unbound, Qiankun possesses its law, Shatter!"
As the incantation was uttered, I swung my sword violently.
Li Chunlong had already leaped into the air, carrying a fierce sword energy, and slashed down with great force.
In that instant, many people in the plaza held their breath.
Everyone's eyes were wide open.
Even Uncle-Master, Old Mo, and the others, who knew my background and strength, were on edge.
They all wanted to see who would be the victor in this decisive blow.
In a flash of lightning.
I, carrying the three-attribute Dao qi, amplified by the 'Shatter' character technique, met Li Chunlong's Yin Yang Sword ultimate strike.
The two vastly different surges of qi collided, exploding instantly.
With a sharp "bang," the explosive sound echoed across the grand plaza.
The chaotic qi currents, like ripples, vibrated outwards with a "whosh, whosh, whosh."
Then, Li Chunlong and I were both pushed back more than ten steps before stopping.
Both of us frowned, our expressions grim, staring intently at our opponents.
For a moment, the entire grand plaza fell silent.
After the sword strike, peace returned.
Everyone was focused on Li Chunlong and me.
We both stood unmoving.
Many began to suspect if our ultimate move had resulted in a draw.
Just as the crowd was filled with doubt.
On the stage, I felt a sudden heat in my chest and abdomen, and a wisp of blood flowed from the corner of my mouth...
