Chapter 2365
He muttered to himself, his voice tinged with barely concealed fear: "I accept defeat to Chen Xuan... but her... her full power unleashed, and she was able to stand shoulder to shoulder with a disciple personally taught by a Dao Lord?"
Palace Mistress Mengdie was struck dumb, her porcelain doll-like face instantly turning bright red and burning, as if she had been slapped hard.
She stared intently at Lu Xueqi, the image of how easily she had "crushed" Lu Xueqi earlier replaying in her mind. Only now did she belatedly realize that Lu Xueqi had been holding back all along! And she had been holding back a massive amount!
"Very good." The indifference on Bai He's face finally faded, replaced by solemnity. He stared at the nine imperial weapon dragon patterns moving across Lu Xueqi's body, a hint of apprehension flashing in his eyes. "You certainly have the ability to fight me."
"kill!"
Lu Xueqi was too lazy to waste words. The enhancement of the Immortal King's Dharma Image and the Emperor Weapon Dragon Pattern Armor greatly consumed her divine power.
With a clear shout, she transformed into a streak of purple light and shot towards the white crane. The two imperial weapon sword embryos drew two dazzling arcs in the void, their sword momentum fierce and unparalleled!
"Humph!"
Bai He snorted coldly, his golden wings fluttered, and his figure instantly transformed into a white light, intertwining with Lu Xueqi's purple light.
Two streaks of light rapidly shifted positions in the void, so fast that their movements were impossible to discern; only deafening collision sounds could be heard.
Bang bang bang!
blah-
The Purple Light Sword Dao is incredibly sharp, and when combined with the defense of the Nine Imperial Weapon Dragon Patterns, it is both offensive and defensive, and completely impenetrable.
Wearing the Pure Yang Divine Weapon Gloves, Bai He sometimes transformed his palm into a knife, sometimes formed a sword finger, and sometimes condensed into a dragon claw. His moves were unpredictable, and each strike carried the heaven-burning power of the Golden Crow Divine Light, as he tried to find the flaw in Lu Xueqi's sword technique.
But he ultimately underestimated Lu Xueqi's strength.
She was Chen Xuan's first Daoist partner. Chen Xuan always shared everything with his Daoist partners—whether it was treasures, resources, or insights into the Great Dao, he never held anything back.
In the thousand times faster time flow of the small tower, the years that Chen Xuan and she spent sparring in swordsmanship were at least 500,000 years!
Now that Chen Xuan has transcended his tribulation, among his many Daoist partners, in terms of overall combat strength, even Qiu Zixian is slightly inferior to Lu Xueqi.
After all, Qiu Zixian was just a primordial spirit avatar, while Lu Xueqi's foundation was perfect to the extreme—an innate Yin-Yang Holy Body, a fusion of the Nine Apertures Exquisite Heart, and the blessing of the fortune of an entire era of the Yao Guang Holy Land.
Such profound knowledge and skills are far beyond what ordinary geniuses can match.
Dangdang Dangdang!
Whoohoo!
The first move was a clash between sword light and claw shadow, resulting in a draw!
The second move saw the Immortal King's Dharma Form clash with the Golden Crow's Divine Light, resulting in a stalemate!
The shock in Baihe's heart grew stronger and stronger, and his attacks became more and more frantic. He even used the secret technique that his master, Daojun Liuyue, had specially created for him, and the power of his moves increased by several times!
Even so, he was still helpless in the face of Lu Xueqi's almost perfect swordplay.
Finding a weakness in an evenly matched opponent within three moves is virtually impossible!
"How is this possible... How could a first-class celestial being who has just arrived at the frontier possess such seasoned close-combat experience?" The white crane's divine wings vibrated wildly, and its hands transformed into dragon claws, fiercely attacking the flaws in Lu Xueqi's sword technique. However, each attack was weakened layer by layer by the nine dragon patterns of the imperial weapon.
"Her sword technique is too perfect! And that damned dragon pattern! Every time I try to forcefully break through her technique, it gets blocked!"
Rumbling--
As the third move landed, the two beams of light collided violently in the void, and the violent shockwave of the Great Dao swept in all directions, making the protective array vibrate loudly.
The two figures flew backward and came to a steady stop in mid-air.
Bai He's face was solemn, his eyes filled with resentment, but he quickly calmed down.
He knew that after three moves, he had not gained any advantage whatsoever.
Immediately, he raised his hand and threw the Supreme Guide Token at Lu Xueqi, saying in a complicated tone, "I have lost."
Lu Xueqi dispelled her Celestial King Dharma Image and Imperial Weapon Dragon Pattern Armor, landing lightly on the ground. She raised her hand to receive the guiding token and bowed slightly to the white crane, saying, "Thank you."
Upon hearing this, Bai He immediately bowed in return, his expression filled with trepidation, and his tone extremely respectful: "I dare not accept such a title! Having received the Bright Moon Guidance Order, you are now a formal third-generation disciple of the Bright Moon Supreme Dojo. According to seniority, I should address you as 'Uncle-Master'."
Upon hearing this, Lu Xueqi smiled and nodded.
Immediately, she transformed into a streak of light and flew towards Chen Xuan, landing beside him with a playful smile on her face and a gentle, almost coquettish tone: "Husband, I did it."
Even though she held the Supreme Guidance Token and had obtained an opportunity that countless people dreamed of, in front of Chen Xuan, she was still that gentle and charming little Daoist companion.
The outcome was decided, and the entire stadium fell silent.
A moment later, heavy breathing filled the air, and the gazes of all the True Immortals and Immortal Kings toward Lu Xueqi instantly changed from initial disdain and doubt to naked envy, even carrying a hint of fawning.
The more a powerful cultivator spends years roaming the borderlands of the capital, the clearer they are about what this seemingly insignificant guiding token means—it is the stepping stone to the supreme lineage, the ladder to heaven for a carp to leap over the dragon gate!
Chen Xuan ignored their gazes, looked up at the white crane with a complex expression, a mocking smile playing on his lips, and said loudly:
"I wonder if this junior disciple has any more Supreme Guidance Tokens? If so, I have quite a few people here, we can send more people to fight!"
These words immediately drew gasps of astonishment from the audience, accompanied by murmurs of curses.
This kid is really pushing his luck! He's shameless!
Bai He's face instantly turned bright red, and he almost couldn't help but curse out loud on the spot.
But then he thought about it again. Lu Xueqi was Chen Xuan's Daoist partner. According to seniority, Chen Xuan was indeed his senior... He gritted his teeth and swallowed the words that were on the tip of his tongue, his face turning red.
