Chapter 68: Shadow of Youdu
Chapter 68: Shadow of Youdu (Seeking follow-up reading)
As the two sides completely engaged in a fight, the situation instantly became extremely chaotic, with shouts of killing filling the air and people dying every moment.
"Kill this traitor first." The leader of the Dousha Hall was furious. He stabbed out thousands of cold rays with his spear. Flames swirled around the tip of the spear, creating a sea of fire.
She coordinated with Taoist Xuanyang's wind and thunder sword energy, and wind, thunder and fire intertwined in the air, pressing towards Li Tingfeng like a punishment from heaven.
The sword in Li Tingfeng's hand was flowing with icy sword energy. When the sword was swung, it was like heavy snow. The falling crystal snowflakes contained deadly murderous intent.
boom! boom! boom!
The collision of the icy true energy with the flames, wind and thunder immediately caused an extremely terrifying explosion. The entire canyon seemed to be filled with thunder, and the violent explosion seemed to tear people's eardrums.
After the collision, Du Hongyue, the leader of the Dousha Hall, and Taoist Xuanyang paused slightly, while Li Tingfeng retreated three steps, and behind him was Xiao Shouren, the leader of the Shoushan Hall.
How could Xiao Shouren miss such a good opportunity? The Zhongshu Sword in his hand, which was like a jade ruler, suddenly burst out with an extremely dazzling light, and the bright sword light pounced out like a dragon.
Boom!
No one expected that Li Tingfeng, without even turning his head, displayed a piece of icy sword energy from his right hand to resist the enemy in front, and suddenly struck backwards with his left hand, and his true energy turned into a fire dragon and rushed out.
The moment Xiao Shouren saw the fire dragon, his pupils constricted and he felt a severe crisis. He swung the Zhongshu sword in his hand without hesitation and switched from offense to defense to protect himself.
But it's too late...
The fire dragon grew in the wind, and in a blink of an eye it was thirteen feet long. The blazing flames instantly burned a large number of Yun Cang disciples, causing them to wail in pain. Their bodies were charred black, and they died in intense pain, with even their corpses shattered into debris.
Xiao Shouren, who was the first to be hit, had a yellow halo lingering on his jade ruler. He performed the "True Art of the Yellow Dragon Hidden Sword in the Abyss" to an unprecedented peak, and his true energy vaguely transformed into the shape of a yellow dragon to protect his body.
But it was completely useless. In just a moment of collision, the protective Qi dissipated, and the fire dragon pounced towards his body with its fangs and claws.
"Hey!"
An old sigh sounded in Xiao Shouren's ears, and a shriveled hand reached out from behind him, with a layer of bright yellow halo lingering on the palm. With just a light slap, the fire dragon in Chapter 13 instantly exploded with a wailing sound, turning into a rain of fire all over the sky.
When Xiao Shouren saw this scene, he did not show any joy on his face. Instead, he said with a sullen look on his face: "Brother, I am incompetent... But, you should not have taken action."
Old Man Kuzhu walked out slowly from behind him, "Junior Brother Shouren, you have tried your best. Li Tingfeng has now broken through to the half-step heavenly being. You can't be his opponent."
Although Xiao Shouren had anticipated this when they fought just now, he couldn't help but be shocked when he heard what the old man Kuzhu said. He looked at Li Tingfeng with a complicated expression and asked in great confusion: "Brother Li, since you have such talent and have stepped into the realm of a half-step celestial being, why did you betray your master?"
"With your status and current martial arts level, is it possible that those people can give you more?"
Li Tingfeng held a sword in his right hand, his silver hair flying in disorder, and a sarcastic look appeared on his young and handsome face.
"You should have figured it out, right? I secretly learned the unique martial art of the Chixiao Peak in our sect, the Chixiao Nine-Layered Heaven Sword Scripture. Can the sect's rules tolerate me?"
"According to the rules of the sect for generations, only the sect leader can learn the Five Peaks inheritance and practice the Great Five Elements Extinction Divine Light Sword."
"I once asked my master to make an exception and pass on more of his inheritance to me, but he refused me based on the sect's rules."
"Yun Cang has been clinging to the sect's rules for many years, and they have already become rotten. They clearly have magical skills that can suppress the world, but they cherish them for themselves and each inherits their own lineage. They don't allow each other to learn and exchange. It's simply ridiculous."
“It often takes several generations for the Yun Cang Sword Sect to produce a sect leader who can master the Great Five Elements Extinction Divine Light Sword, all because of these ridiculous rules. And this is already a fluke. If no one can comprehend the Great Five Elements Extinction Divine Light Sword, the sect will fall into decline. Isn’t that laughable?” The chief seat and elders present remained silent upon hearing this.
Taoist Xuan Yang approached from behind, "The Yuncang Sword Sect has been passed down for thousands of years, and the sect's rules have always been like this. Once the rules are broken, there will be a worry that the inheritance will be cut off. How can we change it for just you?"
Li Tingfeng couldn't help but burst into laughter: "It is because of stubborn and corrupt people like you, Xuanyang, that the sect has come to the situation it is in today."
"I was also very loyal to the sect back then. After Junior Brother Xun's death, I realized that many of the sect's rules were no longer relevant. The 108 outer peaks were already riddled with holes, like a sieve that was infiltrated by other forces."
"Just because I decided to reform the sect and change many of the sect's traditions and rules, Master forcibly suppressed me and did not allow me to ascend to the position of the head of the sect."
"According to my seniority, qualifications, prestige, and martial arts, I should have been the only candidate to be the head of the sect after my master passed away due to serious injuries."
"But what about the end?"
At this point, his face looked a little ferocious, "You would rather nominate the fourth brother to be a puppet than let me take the position of the head."
"Is it because I am determined to reform the sect's rules?"
"Such a corrupt and stubborn sect will collapse completely sooner or later. Why should I remain loyal to it?"
"You guys are ruthless to me, so don't blame me for doing such an unjust thing today."
Du Hongyue, the head of the Dousha Hall, scolded him sternly: "Stop looking for these high-sounding excuses for your own rebellion."
"Does the sect let you down by not letting you become the sect leader? Does the sect let you down by not letting you learn more about the inheritance?"
"Where did you get all your martial arts skills from? Where did all your abilities come from? Where did your status come from?"
"Greed is insatiable, and desire is insatiable. Even if you become the head of the sect, such behavior will surely bring the sect into an irreparable situation."
"The best thing the previous head teacher did was not to push you to the position of head teacher."
“Do you think that you can destroy me, Yun Cang, by reaching the level of a half-step celestial being? Senior Brother Kuzhu, please move aside. I will fight him.”
"Hahaha, since I have already exposed my strength, how could I possibly return empty-handed?" Li Tingfeng had no intention of arguing with these people at this time. It was difficult to tell who was right and who was wrong. Everyone had his own beliefs, and his heart was as hard as iron and difficult to shake.
At this moment, he sneered, and the ice true qi and the fire true qi collided violently, causing an extremely violent explosion, and his figure rushed towards the dead bamboo as quickly as a ghost.
"Looking for death!" Several other chiefs and elders shouted angrily, but were stopped for a moment by the violent explosion. More importantly, the lightness skill displayed by Li Tingfeng at this time was not inherited from the sect at all. His speed was like a ghost, beyond imagination.
The old man withered bamboo finally grasped the rusty unsheathed iron sword behind him and sighed in an old voice, "Is this the Netherworld Ghost Shadow Escape Technique of Netherworld?"
"I thought you were only involved with people from those three sects, but I never thought you would enter the Netherworld?!"
"It seems that what happened today has the shadow of Youdu"!
