Chapter 355 - 354: Challenging the Beast God
THUMP THUMP!
The sound of chaotic footsteps echoed through the courtyard!
Xiaobai’s thousands of clones formed a vast army, charging at Li Zixuan from countless directions until the world was a sea of white.
Sharp claws tore through the wind, seeming to be everywhere.
"..."
Li Zixuan frowned at the sight, gripping the sword at her side. But she didn’t retreat a single step; instead, she lunged forward to meet them.
She channeled her Sword Qi and swept it forward, using brute force to break the technique.
In an instant!
A sharp flash of sword light swept past, illuminating the corners of the courtyard and easily dispelling more than half of the illusory clones.
Xiaobai’s remaining clones continued to harry her, and the two once again blurred into afterimages.
’Tsk, did Xiaobai figure this out on her own?’
Qin Yang leaned against the second-floor balcony, watching the fight leisurely. He was a little surprised, his attention focused completely on Xiaobai’s swarm of clones.
’Did I teach her this Clone Technique before?’
Real and fake, illusion and reality were difficult to distinguish.
After merging it with an Illusion Technique, even their auras and life forces were mimicked perfectly.
If his own Realm weren’t so profound, having reached the Celestial Venerable Realm, he might have been fooled as well.
’This Illusion Technique is pretty good.’
Qin Yang stroked his chin, pondering.
He hadn’t expected that after he taught Xiaobai the Clone Technique, she would actually innovate and improve upon it!
It was a case of the student surpassing the master!
As for Li Zixuan on the other side, Qin Yang was also quite satisfied watching her Sword Intent.
He hadn’t seen her for a few days, and this silly girl’s Sword Intent had grown increasingly sharp.
If she continued to develop like this, she would one day be able to prove her dao through the sword and reach the Peak of the Emperor Venerable Realm!
The sudden clash in the courtyard between two future Emperor Venerables from five hundred years hence had long since drawn gasps of amazement from the onlookers. Elder Li and the others’ faces were intermittently illuminated by the sharp flashes of sword light.
"Marvelous! Simply marvelous! What a powerful Clone Technique!"
Elder Li stroked his white beard and looked at Xiaobai in awe. "As expected of the Young Master’s Beast Slave. With a Clone Technique like that, I’m afraid this old man wouldn’t even have room to retaliate..."
"Hahaha, Elder Li, you shouldn’t sell yourself short! Our Xuanxuan’s Sword Intent is also growing stronger and stronger."
Li Daoming laughed heartily. Watching Li Zixuan wield her sword in battle, he was filled with emotion. "Her Sword Intent has already reached its Peak.
I have a feeling the Li Family will also produce a Sword God!"
The Commander: "Sigh, if only they could become instructors for the Police Chief."
Liu Wushuang: "What are you thinking? Did you get my Young Master’s permission?!"
Everyone joked and laughed.
In the crowd, only Lin Mofeng remained silent. He just watched Li Zixuan quietly, his feelings complicated. ’Little Junior Sister is already this strong.’
He remembered a time when she used to follow behind him during cultivation, ignorant and naive, not even having reached the Innate Realm... but now she was about to step into the Grandmaster Realm.
Just as everyone was talking,
BOOM!
Another clash of two forces!
Li Zixuan and Xiaobai clashed, then quickly separated, each retreating more than twenty feet apart.
After several exchanges, Xiaobai’s fox ears stood erect, and her violet, slit pupils grew more ferocious. Li Zixuan, for her part, straightened up, wiped her sword’s edge with one hand, and met her gaze with a cold stare.
The next exchange would be decisive; neither of them dared to be careless.
The atmosphere was tense, as if filled with the smell of gunpowder.
However, at that moment.
CLAP! CLAP!
Two crisp claps rang out!
"Alright, that’s enough for today!"
Qin Yang clapped his hands lightly, interrupting the duel. Then, with a flip, he leaped down from the balcony and landed in the courtyard.
"No need to continue."
He had barely landed, not yet steady on his feet.
"Young Master!"
Everyone was startled by the sight and surged forward, forming a circle around him.
Qin Yang nodded slightly, his gaze sweeping over the crowd as he smiled warmly. "Everyone has made excellent progress these past few days. You’ve all improved a lot!"
"Young Master, you flatter us."
Elder Li nodded with emotion and exchanged a glance with the others. "It’s all thanks to our comprehension of the Heart of Law that we were able to break through so quickly. Otherwise, who knows how long it would have taken to advance our Realms..."
"And what about this Fairy!"
From the side, an excited Xiaobai zipped over. Ignoring everyone else, she latched right onto Qin Yang’s arm. "Master, praise your servant! Quickly! I was about to win just now!"
"Nonsense..."
Li Zixuan’s ears turned red, but seeing Qin Yang there, she held back and could only mutter under her breath, "I was clearly the one who was about to win."
Qin Yang just smiled.
He paid no mind to their bickering and turned to see Lin Mofeng approaching.
"Young Master, how is your progress on the Sealing Demon Array?"
Lin Mofeng stepped forward respectfully. "Have you completed it?"
Qin Yang smiled and didn’t answer immediately. He simply opened his hand, revealing the fruits of his inscriptions.
Mysterious Array Patterns emanated a profound aura. Every inch of the array lines was complete and flawless.
"This is?!"
Upon seeing the Array Map, Lin Mofeng’s pupils shrank abruptly. Even if he couldn’t fully understand it, he could clearly see that, compared to the rubbing, it was far more distinct and complete.
’The Young Master actually did it!’
"Excellent! This is perfect timing!"
Lin Mofeng was overjoyed. He excitedly grabbed Qin Yang’s hand. "Young Master, your timing is impeccable! The Beast God has been roaming outside for several days now..."
"Roaming?"
"Yes."
Lin Mofeng’s eyes grew dim with sorrow as he said slowly, "He has indeed honored his pact with you these past few days and has not set foot in Jianghai City. But without you to stand guard, the neighboring Longling City has suffered terribly..."
With that, he began to recount what had happened.
In just a few short days, the surrounding towns had fallen victim to the Beast God, one after another.
Longling City, which was near Jianghai, was the worst hit!
The entire city was slaughtered!
Countless people of the Dragon Country were filled with righteous indignation, vowing to kill the Beast God!
Hearing this, Qin Yang’s brow furrowed tightly.
The situation was worse than he had anticipated.
If the Beast God wasn’t eliminated, he would undoubtedly continue to slaughter innocent people!
Thinking of this, he looked at Lin Mofeng and said gravely, "I’ll have to trouble you with this, then. Spread the word that in three days, I will challenge him to a battle at the Da Li Mountain Range."
"A challenge?"
Lin Mofeng nodded upon hearing this, but then he seemed to remember something and asked worriedly, "Young Master, what if the Beast God doesn’t show up?"
Qin Yang shook his head. "It doesn’t matter. Just get the message out. The Blood Spirit Array is still in our hands. When he sees the news, he’ll understand the subtext and will definitely come in person."
Hearing this, everyone was relieved.
Then, Qin Yang gave a few more instructions.
「A moment later.」
Everyone dispersed to carry out Qin Yang’s orders.
Online, the Jianghai City government officially released a solemn announcement to the entire nation.
As soon as the news was posted, it shot to the top of all the major headlines, and the online buzz exploded instantly!
In just a few seconds, countless comments flooded in beneath the announcement.
[HOLY SHIT, a deathmatch between the True Dragon Martial God and the Beast God!? Is this for real?]
[Gotta buy a plane ticket to Jianghai City, quick! The Heaven-Blasting Gang is making a move personally this time. You definitely won’t be able to get a ticket later!]
[Can he win? My elders say the Beast God seems really strong. The Heaven-Blasting Gang only managed to repel him before. If they lose this time, Jianghai City is done for!]
[Nonsense! Our Jianghai will definitely win!]
The entire internet was abuzz with discussion. A storm was coming.
