Chapter 212 The Battle of the Grandmasters Ends
After the Azure Dragon swept into the battlefield like a blue whirlwind, the entire battle situation changed dramatically in the blink of an eye.
Emperor Qing, who was originally able to handle the combined attack of the Vermilion Bird and the Black Tortoise with ease, now found his movements becoming noticeably sluggish, as if he had been struck by a heavy hammer.
Soon, Baihu also joined the battle. Faced with the attacks of the four, Emperor Qing's body seemed to become a volcano about to erupt, and his true energy burst out like a surging wave.
In an instant, a strong wind arose, sand and stones flew, and the world was plunged into a dim yellow light, so dark that one could not even see their own hand in front of their face.
Taking advantage of the chaos, Emperor Qing turned around without hesitation and retreated rapidly, disappearing into the swirling dust and mist in an instant.
However, how could Qinglong and the other three let him escape so easily? They cooperated perfectly and were of one mind. With their keen senses and superb tracking skills, they caught up with Emperor Qing again in just a short while and trapped him firmly in the middle.
Emperor Qing was wearing a long black robe, the sleeves of which fluttered in the wind, making sharp, piercing sounds.
His once dignified and cold face was now even more gloomy, like the dark clouds and lightning before an impending storm, inspiring fear and trepidation.
Just then, the Vermilion Bird transformed into a dazzling red lightning bolt and pounced towards Emperor Qing.
The long whip she gripped tightly lashed through the air, creating sharp arcs and a piercing whistling sound. It was like a nimble and deadly fire serpent, biting straight at Emperor Qing's vital parts.
Faced with the Vermilion Bird's incredibly swift attack, Emperor Qing displayed extraordinary reaction speed and agility.
He lightly touched the ground with his feet and slightly turned his body to the side, easily avoiding this devastating blow.
The Azure Dragon's gaze sharpened, and his aura suddenly erupted. In the blink of an eye, he circled behind Emperor Qing with astonishing speed, his figure like a ghost in the dark night, silent yet full of killing intent.
At this moment, the greatsword in Qinglong's hand gleamed with a cold light, and an icy aura emanated from the blade, as if it could freeze the air.
With a flick of his arm, the broadsword traced a deadly arc in the air, whistling sharply, and slashed straight toward Emperor Qing's neck.
Emperor Qing seemed to have sensed it beforehand. Just as the greatsword was about to strike, he suddenly dodged, easily avoiding the fierce attack.
At the same time, Emperor Qing suddenly turned around and struck out with his right hand. This palm strike contained boundless power, and the wind from the palm whistled past like a cannonball being fired, creating a terrifying sound.
Faced with such a rapid attack, Qinglong dared not be careless in the slightest. He quickly raised his broadsword and fought back with all his might.
A deafening clang resounded through the sky, the force of which caused Qinglong's arm to go numb and his tiger's mouth to nearly split open. He involuntarily staggered back several steps, each step leaving a deep footprint in the ground.
Meanwhile, Xuanwu, standing to the side, was not to be outdone.
He roared, his voice like a booming bell, echoing endlessly in the night sky. Then, he gripped the incredibly heavy shield in his hands and strode straight toward Emperor Qing.
His steps were heavy and powerful, and with each step he took, the ground trembled slightly, as if a small earthquake was about to strike.
On the other side, the White Tiger fully utilized its agility, rapidly circling around Emperor Qing. Its speed was so great that only blurry afterimages could be seen flitting past the emperor.
The White Tiger was fully focused, waiting for the right moment to strike, ready to deliver a fatal blow to Emperor Qing at any time.
When Xuanwu launched a powerful attack, Emperor Qing suddenly struck out with a palm. The unparalleled force of the palm was like a tidal wave, which repelled Xuanwu.
The palm strike swept past with a whoosh, sending sand and stones flying and dust billowing up, obscuring the sky and the sun!
When the White Tiger attempted to take advantage of the situation and launch a sneak attack, Emperor Qing swiftly transformed his palm into fingers, unleashing incredibly sharp finger force that pierced through the air like extremely sharp blades, instantly and easily neutralizing the White Tiger's offensive.
The wind whistles through the air, making a sharp, piercing sound that chills the heart!
Even when facing Qinglong's exquisite and ever-changing sword techniques, Emperor Qing remained calm and composed, dodging to the side or using skillful techniques to deflect the opponent's sword, causing all of Qinglong's attacks to miss.
However, this seemingly fierce and stalemate battle was actually deliberately orchestrated by Qinglong and the other three.
They had been deliberately testing and toying with Emperor Qing, trying to find out his true strength and capabilities.
At that moment, the four exchanged glances and reached a tacit understanding—they could not delay any longer and had to immediately unleash their most powerful abilities to end the battle!
In the blink of an eye, a dragon's roar rang out, and countless sharp and domineering sword energies suddenly erupted from the Azure Dragon's body.
These sword energies crisscrossed and intertwined, forming an impenetrable net of sword energy. Each sword energy seemed capable of easily slicing through space, its power terrifying!
At the same time, the long whip in Suzaku's hand was also engulfed in raging flames.
With a powerful swing, the surging waves of fire rushed forward like a ferocious beast baring its fangs and claws, heading straight for Emperor Qing!
On the other side, Xuanwu continuously poured all the true energy in his body into the shield.
The originally thick and solid shield now radiated a dazzling light, charging towards Emperor Qing with the force of thunder!
Finally, the white tiger's figure was as fast as lightning, and in the blink of an eye, it turned into dozens of afterimages, launching a fatal attack on Emperor Qing from different angles!
A deafening roar resounded, as powerful as a thunderbolt!
The two incredibly powerful forces collided violently, and in an instant, it seemed as if the entire world trembled.
With this earth-shattering collision, an extremely violent shockwave swept outwards in all directions with overwhelming force.
Under the ravages of this terrifying force, the once lush and tall trees around were uprooted like fragile grass, and then flew through the air like kites with broken strings.
Those massive boulders, each weighing thousands of pounds, were utterly vulnerable, shattering into fine powder that scattered in the wind.
Right in the very center of this fierce battle, where Emperor Qing was located, a huge, bottomless pit, tens of feet in diameter, suddenly appeared.
Countless clods of earth and stones poured down like a torrential rain, stirring up clouds of dust that blotted out the sun, making it almost impossible to see anything.
After a long while, when the thick dust finally began to slowly dissipate, people were able to see the situation in the pit.
Emperor Qing lay helplessly at the bottom of the giant pit, his body covered in wounds and his breath as faint as a candle flickering in the wind.
His black robe was now tattered and covered in bright red blood, with some areas even revealing exposed white bones.
His hair had become extremely messy, falling haphazardly and obscuring most of his originally handsome and dignified face.
At this moment, Emperor Qing had lost all ability to resist. He could only watch helplessly as the four members of the Azure Dragon Clan approached him step by step...
