Chapter 1162: Spell Combat
Chapter 1162: Spell Combat
"Lu Daoist, Zhuang Shidi, since you two are determined to engage in spell combat, there are some things that must be said beforehand."
Yan Li stepped forward, his expression solemn as he spoke.
"You two represent the Dongxuan Sword Sect and the Fire Deity Palace respectively, so there must be no life-threatening moves. We cannot afford to damage the fellowship between the two sects."
Lu Xuan and Zhuang Chunqiu nodded together, indicating their understanding.
The news of the two Nascent Soul cultivators' combat spread quickly, and in less than ten breaths, over ten Nascent Soul cultivators arrived, surrounding the two combatants and watching silently.
As for the Foundation Establishment cultivators, they were kept outside due to restrictions, preventing them from being affected by the aftermath of the combat.
"Fellow disciples, who do you think will win?"
"In terms of reason and emotion, it should be Zhuang Shidi."
"That's right, Zhuang Shidi has been in the Nascent Soul stage for over a hundred years, and it's said that he's not far from breaking through to the middle stage. Moreover, he has the home ground advantage, so it's hard to imagine him being defeated by Lu Daoist."
"Lu Daoist is also a Spirit Herb Master!"
A female cultivator in palace attire chuckled lightly.
"Haha, Shimei speaks the truth. I've heard that Lu Daoist is obsessed with spirit herbs and rarely leaves the Sword Sect. I haven't heard of him engaging in spell combat with any Nascent Soul cultivators, so his combat experience must be lacking."
"The only variable is what protective treasure the Dongxuan Sword Sect will bestow upon Lu Daoist."
The crowd discussed animatedly, all sharing the opinion that Lu Xuan was at a disadvantage.
"Lu Daoist, forgive my rudeness!"
Zhuang Chunqiu cupped his hands in greeting and then transformed into a ball of flame, disappearing right in front of Lu Xuan.
"What an exquisite Flame Escape Technique! Merging with the unique environment of the Fire Deity Palace, ordinary early-stage Nascent Soul cultivators would find it difficult to detect his traces."
Seven deep green flying swords appeared before Lu Xuan, and he sighed inwardly.
However, even though he was just a White Lotus incarnation, he was not comparable to an ordinary early-stage Nascent Soul cultivator.
With the high-level cultivation method, Stars at Will Contemplation Method, to enhance his divine perception, and constantly nourished by the Millet Jade Pillow, he had entered the Millet Village countless times. Additionally, he had consumed countless treasures like the Spiritually Fine Calming Tea Leaves, causing his divine perception to far surpass that of his peers.
After carefully sensing his surroundings, his divine perception captured some anomalies.
"Bang!"
A fire fist, the size of a zhang, shot out from the magma, and in an instant, it arrived beneath Lu Xuan's feet, as if the scorching heat would turn him into ashes.
"Well met!"
Lu Xuan was prepared, and a deep green sword beam, several zhang long, flickered and slashed down, splitting the massive fire fist into countless flames.
"As expected of a Nascent Soul cultivator from the Sword Sect, his sword skills are truly remarkable!"
"His divine perception is also much stronger than expected, as he was able to detect Zhuang Shidi's sudden attack in advance."
The surrounding Nascent Soul cultivators from the Fire Deity Palace marveled, realizing that Lu Xuan's strength exceeded their expectations.
On the ground, scorching magma surged like boiling water, and huge fire fists, as fast as lightning, attacked Lu Xuan from all directions.
Lu Xuan held seven Azure Profound Growth Sword Grasses, which merged together to form a mysterious formation. The deep green sword beams passed through the fire fists with pinpoint accuracy, slicing them into countless tiny flames.
Unbeknownst to them, the entire surroundings turned crimson, enveloped by endless strange flames.
The origin of these strange flames was unknown, but they clung like stubborn sores, relentlessly trying to burn Lu Xuan to ashes.
"Show yourself!"
Lu Xuan's heart stirred, and the deep green sword beams split in two, then four, instantly dividing into countless tiny sword beams.
Li Xuandun had been cultivating the Infinite Sword Grass for many years, and his understanding of the Sword Beam Division had reached an incredibly profound level.
The area within a ten-li radius was filled with endless sword beams, and the sound of thunder rumbled faintly amidst the whistling sword energy, striking fear into all who heard it.
"Sword Beam Division! Sword Energy Thunder Sound!"
The Yuanling Cultivators from the Fire Deity Palace, watching from a distance, exclaimed in unison.
The fact that Lu Xuan could master these two Sword Dao secret techniques was enough to prove that he was a rare Sword Dao genius in the world.
"Isn't he a Spirit Herb Master?"
"How could he have such refined mastery of the Sword Dao?"
As the crowd marveled, under the endless and extremely subtle sword energy, Zhuang Chunqiu's figure could no longer be concealed and was revealed.
"Lu, you're quite skilled!"
A crimson longsword in his hand emitted layers of rosy clouds, and with a dragon's roar, the flying sword instantly transformed into a ten-zhang-long crimson dragon.
The dragon danced freely in the air, causing the surrounding Fire Spirit energy to change drastically. Streams of lava erupted, as if doomsday had arrived.
Zhuang Chunqiu pinched his fingers to cast a spell, and the lava rising into the sky instantly turned into fire dragons, attacking Lu Xuan along with the crimson flying sword.
"An Intermediate-grade Magical Treasure!"
Lu Xuan dared not be careless. He threw his hand into the air.
Instantly, the sky was filled with the sun, moon, and stars, each moving along mysterious trajectories and soon covering the dozens of ferocious fire dragons.
The fire dragons, under the movement of the stars, silently fell straight from the sky, and the crowd seemed to hear faint wails.
"A Seventh-grade Sword Array!"
The cultivators from the Fire Deity Palace all had solemn expressions.
Although the origin of the sword array Lu Xuan had summoned was unknown, it was more than enough to deal with an early-stage Yuanling cultivator.
"He has just advanced to the Yuanling Realm, yet he possesses a Seventh-grade Sword Array!"
Zhuang Chunqiu was both angry and fearful. Even in a special environment like the Fire Deity Palace, facing a Seventh-grade Sword Array, he could only have one outcome.
Defeat!
"I refuse to accept this!"
He roared in his heart, and then his True Mana erupted, causing the spiritual energy of heaven and earth to surge and the earth's crust to tremble as if some terrifying existence was about to break free.
He reached out and slapped his head, causing his crown to emit brilliant light.
"Not good! Brother Zhuang wants to trigger the restrictions within the Fire Deity Palace!"
The crowd was terrified, never expecting that Zhuang Chunqiu would attempt Soul Departure, triggering the restrictions within the Fire Deity Palace.
If they accidentally harmed the Dongxuan Sword Sect cultivator, how would they explain it to the Sword Sect?
Lu Xuan's expression remained calm and unperturbed. As soon as Zhuang Chunqiu showed signs of abnormality, a bracelet with five-colored thunder light appeared in Lu Xuan's hand.
"Go!"
He threw his hand forward, and the Five Thunder Immortal Lock Bracelet transformed into five-colored thunder energy, enveloped in boundless thunder light, and instantly reached Zhuang Chunqiu.
Before Zhuang Chunqiu could react, a circular thunder energy appeared around his neck and limbs, tightly restraining him, and the Yuanling about to fly out from his Dantian showed no signs of movement.
Even the True Mana within his body seemed to be completely bound by the five circular rings.
The violently shaking earth's crust slowly calmed down after he was restrained, and the mysterious aura from the depths of the earth quietly subsided. Only the scorching lava flowing on the ground remained as evidence of the recent abnormal event.
The restraint time of the Five Thunder Immortal Lock Bracelet was only a brief moment, but it was enough for the other cultivators from the Fire Deity Palace to react.
"Still here, embarrassing yourself?"
A majestic voice sounded, and a crimson giant palm descended from the sky, grabbing the now-recovered Zhuang Chunqiu and taking him away.
