Chapter 159: Tenfold Blade-Slaughter Formation, Settling on Celestial Terrace Peak
"What?"
Upon witnessing this scene, Master Qianyue's eyes could no longer hide his shock.
One must know that the strike he just unleashed used the power of his Lifebound Magical Treasure.
Yet the result was that it was easily broken by the opponent.
And looking at the opponent, it was clear that he still had plenty of strength left.
Most importantly, from start to finish, the opponent didn't use any Magical Treasures or Divine Techniques.
He destroyed both attacks with just a palm and a finger.
"Senior Brother Qianyue, shall we continue?"
Ji Haoyuan now looked at Master Qianyue opposite him with a faint smile.
Master Qianyue took a deep breath and then looked at Ji Haoyuan with an exceptionally serious expression.
"Junior Brother Nanhua, my next strike will exceed the limits of my current cultivation.
Even I cannot precisely control the power of this strike.
Be careful."
In any case, the duel between the two is mostly a friendly competition.
It's not a mortal enemy confrontation nor a life-or-death battle.
Additionally, they are fellow cultivators of the same sect.
Therefore, a verbal warning is still necessary when appropriate.
Upon hearing this, Ji Haoyuan's face also showed a slight seriousness.
In a duel, he never underestimates any opponent.
Since they've warned him like that, he naturally won't take it lightly.
"Senior Brother Qianyue, please!"
He made a gesture of invitation to Master Qianyue.
Master Qianyue nodded.
He was no longer courteous.
Suddenly, endless silver light appeared in his eyes.
It was the concentration of infinite sword intent.
In the next moment, the void was filled with sword light and sword shadows, transforming into storms, fierce beasts, flames, mountains, instantaneously merging into Master Qianyue's body.
In an instant, he became illusory.
Clang clang clang!
The sound of rapid metallic collision echoed from all directions.
Ji Haoyuan immediately felt as if he were surrounded by thousands of soldiers and horses.
No matter where he went, it seemed impossible to escape such confinement.
"Ten Directions Sword Killing Array!"
Master Lei Xia's eyes revealed a look of surprise for the first time.
She suddenly looked toward Master Beichen not far away.
"Senior Brother Beichen, Junior Brother Qianyue has actually mastered this Sword Dao Killing Array?"
A thought forms an array, a thought transforms into the killing domain of ten directions.
Once locked, even a mid-stage Golden Core cultivator would likely suffer greatly.
"No wonder you proposed this duel. As it turns out, Junior Brother Qianyue had this card up his sleeve."
At this, Master Lei Xia's eyes showed a hint of worry for the first time.
Master Beichen's normally indifferent face now showed a rare smile.
"Let Junior Sister Lei Xia laugh.
Prior to this, I had him transform into the mundane, enter the army, and, with a mortal body, temper and comprehend this killing Sword Dao.
Fortunately, he survived and comprehended this skill.
If Junior Brother Nanhua can break through Qianyue's technique.
Then this duel counts as our loss."
"You and your disciples are indeed madmen."
Master Lei Xia scolded with an unpleasant expression.
She was well aware that what Master Beichen mentioned earlier about having Master Qianyue transform and enter the army was truly transforming into a mundane, being sealed of magical power and cultivation.
If he had died in that process, it would have been a real death.
A dignified Golden Core True Man dying in the battles of a Mortal Dynasty's army would be the world's biggest joke.
But she also had to admit, once this Sword Dao Killing Array was formed, Ji Haoyuan might really be in danger now.
Clang clang clang!
At this moment, Ji Haoyuan was already engulfed by an endless sea of swords, flames, thunder, thousands of soldiers and horses.
He resembled a lone boat on the ocean, at any moment that might be capsized by the waves.
Most importantly, surrounded by an environment as if filled with war cries shaking the heavens, he felt like a powerless mortal without any Magic Power Cultivation.
He could only passively be crushed into dust by this torrent.
Ji Haoyuan couldn't help but marvel in his heart.
A major sect's Golden Core is indeed vastly different from an Independent Practitioner Golden Core or a Minor Sect Golden Core.
At least this single move is certainly not something a regular initial-stage Golden Core cultivator could execute.
But alas...
If it were someone else here today, they might genuinely be defeated by this technique.
But for him, honestly, it doesn't have much effect.
Ji Haoyuan touched his finger to his forehead.
In the next moment, he who should have become a mere mortal without any Magic Power Cultivation, suddenly began to emanate a tumultuous aura.
Subsequently, a majestic, ocean-like superior magical power surged, transforming into blazing flames in the surrounding void.
Seeing this, the self-confident expression on Master Qianyue's face suddenly changed.
But before he could react, within the raging fire sea, strands of cyan thunder emerged.
Thunder and fire intertwined.
Loud booming sounds echoed continuously.
In an instant, all anomalies, shadows, even the torrent of sword qi resembling thousands of soldiers and horses, were inch by inch annihilated and dispersed within the boundless thunder fire.
Upon witnessing this, the smile on Master Beichen's face disappeared.
Master Qianyue also let out a long sigh in his heart.
He retracted all magical power and bowed his hand to Ji Haoyuan:
"Junior Brother Nanhua, this duel, I have lost."
"Thank you for letting me win."
Ji Haoyuan similarly withdrew all magic, bowing back to Master Qianyue.
"Senior Brother Beichen..."
Master Lei Xia, at this point, looked at Master Beichen with a smile.
Master Beichen remained silent.
But he took out a jade bottle from himself, and after saying "Let's go" to Master Qianyue, he left with him.
Observing this, Ji Haoyuan's heart settled slightly.
It seems the factions within the Demonstration Sect, though having disputes, at least adhere to corresponding rules, not resorting to unscrupulous means.
After some time.
Ji Haoyuan stood atop Celestial Terrace Peak.
Feeling the dense Spiritual Qi here that was like a cloud-like mist.
He couldn't help but marvel again.
Great Sect Spirit Peaks are indeed different from other Spirit Peaks.
Despite its tier only being mid-third grade, the true density of Spiritual Qi was almost equal to some upper-third grade Spirit Veins.
"Junior Brother Ji..."
At this time, Master Lei Xia suddenly handed him a Jade Token.
"This item is the ownership Jade Token of this Spirit Peak.
With it, you can call upon the Earth Vein here and set up a Natural Array.
Then, even I, a late-stage Golden Core cultivator, won't easily intrude upon your Spirit Peak."
