Chapter 775: Do You Think I'll Let You?
Chapter 775: Do You Think I'll Let You?
As one of the three great prodigies of Beizhou, You Yao was now unleashing her fury, employing her most skilled technique. Even if this didn't represent her full strength, it was far from something the other sect's top disciples could easily withstand.
When the white light pierced the sky, tearing through the barrier of the Clear Light Chessboard, Shen Yi had already proven to everyone that he, too, was worthy of controlling the Four Provinces.
Moreover, from a superficial perspective, the two of them were evenly matched, and his every move seemed even more relaxed than You Yao's.
"Brother Grand Emptiness has only been a disciple of the Spirit Void Cave for so long, yet he can use the Purity Domain with such skill..."
Though the other disciples wouldn't conclude from this alone that Shen Yi was stronger than You Yao, after all, he had the advantage of the Spiritual Relic, his talent was truly astonishing.
"It should end here."
As the saying goes, a glimpse of the leopard through a bamboo tube—just by observing, one could see that the gap in their cultivation, if any, was not significant.
At this level, even if they continued to fight, it would be difficult to determine a winner in a short time. In the end, their elders would likely intervene to separate them.
If Senior Sister You Yao wanted to maintain some dignity in Beizhou, it would be wise for her to leave now before things became irreparable.
"..."
You Yao watched as the clear light dissipated into nothingness, her eyelids twitching. She had never encountered someone so adept at concealing their abilities. Almost every time they met, she discovered something new about him.
At this point, even she felt a sense of admiration.
If he had only strength and no restraint, his initial arrival in Beizhou would have been met with the full enmity of the Three Immortals Sect, and they would have united to drive him out or even crush him.
By suppressing his nature and advancing step by step, he earned the recognition of the sect's members, thus gaining the qualifications to compete.
This Grand Emptiness True Monarch had made all the necessary preparations. Following his strategy, challenging any of his fellow disciples, not just the timid Yun Miao, would likely result in their conceding after an unexpected defeat, allowing him to achieve his goals.
Unfortunately, he chose the wrong target.
How could she, You Yao, ever be a stepping stone for others?
"Trying to step on me to rise..."
You Yao raised her right arm, and a gemstone as clear as water floated in the air.
She mobilized all her Calamity Power, pouring it into the gemstone, her cold voice echoing: "You dream."
Even if it meant mutual destruction, she would ensure this young man was shattered first, and he currently lacked the ability to do otherwise.
"The Emerald Swim Pearl!"
Though both were Triple Tempered Spiritual Relics, this pearl, held by You Yao, was far more renowned than the Effortless Blade.
As soon as the gemstone emitted its light, the disciples of Heavenly Tower Mountain instinctively scattered.
"Are you planning to flood Kaiyuan Province, You Yao?"
They skipped the formal address, as the competition among sect members was ultimately for the favor of the sect, but this madwoman was now threatening to destroy the entire Kaiyuan Province.
Their words were quickly drowned out by the deafening roar.
Suddenly, waters from the four seas surged from the horizon, forming an endless sea above Kaiyuan Province. The surging waves, guided by the Emerald Swim Pearl, transformed into countless massive water dragons.
In the past, seeing this, Real Master Yun Miao would have been frantic, as he viewed these places as his future domain and could not bear to see such destruction.
But now, he fixed his gaze on Shen Yi, eager to see how he would meet his tragic end under the Spiritual Relic.
The next moment, the dragons roared and charged toward the earth!
"..."
Shen Yi faced the sky, holding his sword like a brush, then swept it across the heavens.
The Effortless Blade remained as simple and ancient as ever, even the white light from earlier had completely faded, making it look like an ordinary iron sword.
But the moment he raised it, all the water dragons reversed their course, converging back into an endless sea.
With each inch he lifted his arm, the sea rose a hundred miles.
One man and one sword, causing the ocean to rise to the sky, forming a straight white line.
Both Spiritual Relics were Triple Tempered, so the contest came down to the depth of their cultivation.
The ocean rose slowly but steadily.
When this scene came into view, the onlookers were so stunned they forgot to move, just staring in amazement.
Brother Grand Emptiness once again redefined the understanding of his fellow disciples, proving that he not only surpassed the prodigies of Beizhou in talent but also in cultivation and realm, surpassing Senior Sister You Yao!
At this moment, You Yao's face was already turning grim.
She could blame the Spiritual Relic for her first failure, but what excuse could she find this time?
She could hardly imagine how a Cultivation Scholar could achieve such a level of cultivation in Nanzhou, where monks were held in the highest regard. And despite possessing such formidable strength, he was still driven out of Nanzhou, forced to flee to Beizhou to save his life.
The cries of her fellow disciples rang in her ears, and You Yao’s fingers trembled as she tried to press down, but she couldn’t stop the rise of the vast marsh.
With her experience, she could clearly see that this disciple of the insect demon was more powerful than herself.
Thinking of this, she glanced indifferently to the side.
“Huff.”
Yun Miao exhaled deeply. This time, without any hesitation, he summoned the fan again, its bones as smooth as jade. When he opened it, the fan’s surface revealed ethereal clouds and mist.
He darted downward, his sleeves billowing out.
All the resentment he had harbored in Zhenning Province now converged into this single swipe.
The wind, though invisible, was sharper than a steel blade and impossible to defend against.
Before the howling sound reached them, the towering mountains crumbled one after another.
After enduring for so long, he realized that his strength, while not equal to those three, was not far behind. In Beizhou, he was more than worthy of the title of the eldest disciple.
Even You Yao couldn’t help but raise an eyebrow, slightly surprised.
Unfortunately, this fierce attack did not earn him any praise or admiration. Instead, a series of curses erupted around him.
“Utterly shameless, never seen such a lackey before!”
“Yun Miao, that’s your own junior disciple!”
Joining others to threaten the Grand Emptiness True Master was bad enough, earning him the label of a weakling. But to launch a sneak attack during the standoff, clearly aiming to take a life, was beyond the pale.
Helping outsiders to harm a fellow disciple from the same lineage—this was not the act of a normal person.
“Huh.”
Hearing the curses, Yun Miao did not stop. Instead, he summoned the Calamity Power again, tirelessly waving the fan.
In his eyes, there was only the one who had caused his downfall.
Shen Yi held the Effortless Blade to fend off the Emerald Swim Pearl. In this situation, the gusts of wind had already put him in grave danger.
At that moment, a disciple suddenly shouted, “Grand Emptiness Senior, watch out!”
Only then did everyone notice that another figure had vanished from behind You Yao.
The small Daoist child appeared expressionless behind Shen Yi.
Lu Tong, since childhood, had served as a young attendant to the Clear Light Immortal, learning all the immortal arts.
But at this moment, he was unleashing all his demon power.
While You Yao and Yun Miao were restraining this person, Lu Tong was the most lethal strike.
It was well known that demons, while perhaps not as skilled in close combat as the monks of the Bodhi Sect, could easily tear apart the Dharma Bodies of immortals.
In an instant, a piercing demon howl echoed through the mountains.
“Roar!”
The massive figure standing on the mountaintop, though not as grand as the White Stag’s Dharma Body, was still a genuine demon in its original form. It raised its fists like drumsticks and suddenly hammered down at the small figure below!
Each of the three played their part, creating a deadly trap.
“Over.”
The San Xian Jiao disciples did not doubt Shen Yi’s strength. They knew that unless it was one of the elders who had reached the Great Emptiness Golden Immortal stage, no Third Grade Cultivator in either sect could handle such a situation.
This was not a battle of magic—it was a premeditated murder!
Feeling the wind rush from behind, Shen Yi’s body was finally enveloped in a black cloud.
In the next moment, he vanished from the world.
“You can’t escape.”
The disciples’ tense nerves had not yet relaxed when they saw the Stag Demon, as if expecting this, plunge his hands into the black cloud. With a fierce tug, his demon power raged, tearing open a gap just as the Purity Domain was about to close. He then stepped in.
“So much for that.”
Seeing Shen Yi flee, Yun Miao’s expressionless face finally showed a hint of a sneer.
You Yao was right; sometimes it was just a matter of overthinking things. A simple move of the finger revealed that the obstacles in his path were mere illusions, easily shattered.
“Kill him.”
You Yao retracted the Emerald Swim Pearl and her figure transformed into a streak of light, joining Yun Miao as they both raced toward the tear.
Today, she wanted nothing but the life of the insect demon disciple.
In the blink of an eye, the four combatants vanished from Kaiyuan Province.
Only the shaken disciples remained, their heavy breathing breaking the silence as they exchanged uneasy glances. You Yao’s relentless attack had redefined their understanding of the great calamity. They realized that even among fellow disciples, malice could run this deep.
...
The once-enchanting Great Emptiness, shrouded in thick Gray Mists, still exuded an eerie silence.
But to the three seasoned cultivators who had mastered the Dao Canon since childhood, it now seemed almost comically absurd.
Relying on such a meager defense was nothing short of a fool’s dream.
The mighty Stag Demon moved forward at a leisurely pace, casually waving its arm to dissipate the surrounding Gray Mists. Scarlet demonic energy rose like spider webs, probing the Purity Domain in all directions.
You Yao and Yun Miao strolled along, showing no signs of panic, almost relishing the thrill of a cat playing with a mouse.
Catching the young man hiding in the Gray Mists was like plucking a bug from its nest. As a disciple of the Insect Demon, he deserved to be crushed like one.
"Two fists can’t fight four hands. Submit and be punished."
Unlike the others, the Stag Demon wasn’t driven by a desire for revenge. It had no time for such trivialities. Its only goal was to avenge its brother’s death with the man’s blood and flesh.
The Stag Demon lifted its head, gazing at a specific spot. It then calmly clenched its fist, and the blood threads spread throughout the Gray Mists responded like a giant claw, tearing the mist apart.
"Found you."
The three stood side by side, looking ahead.
The young man in white didn’t appear as terrified as they had expected. He stood calmly in the depths of the Great Emptiness, his hands hanging at his sides.
Behind him, a massive figure formed from black clouds seemed to stretch the boundaries of the Great Emptiness.
"No plans to run anymore?"
Yun Miao stepped forward, gently touching his face, still feeling the lingering heat from the slap.
When the young man had pushed him in Zhenning Province, he had done so with such ease and confidence, earning the admiration of his fellow disciples while ruthlessly crushing his status as the senior disciple.
Yun Miao hoped that this junior disciple would meet his end with the same nonchalance.
Just then, Yun Miao was yanked back by You Yao.
Confused, he turned to ask, but his pupils dilated in shock.
On either side, two colossal figures, too vast to see in their entirety, stood silently like towering mountains, silently observing them.
The saying "two fists can’t fight four hands" was indeed true.
Shen Yi looked at the Stag Demon and whispered, "Do you have more hands?"
But the Stag Demon seemed deaf, staring blankly to its left. It gazed up at the towering Dharma Body, its body trembling as it whispered, "You dare... to use my brother’s corpse to create a puppet..."
The figure was so lifelike, as if its brother had come back to life.
The White Stag looked down at Lu Tong, sighing, "You really came in, didn’t you?"
It saw a reflection of its former self. If the beginning was the same, the end would likely be no different.
In the next moment, the towering Dharma Body swung its fist, smashing Lu Tong deep into the Great Emptiness.
Since you’re here, serve your master faithfully.
Almost simultaneously, the indigo flesh mountain extended its massive hand, forcing Yun Miao to leap back. His laughter was deafening, "Soft-shelled shrimp, come play with Grandfather South Emperor!"
Only You Yao remained, her gaze fixed on the young man ahead.
A mist seemed to shroud him, making it impossible for her to see him clearly.
After a moment, she shook her head and raised her long neck, her eyes sharp and her voice cutting, "I want to see what else you’re hiding!"
She was not like Yun Miao; she wouldn’t be intimidated.
The Emerald Swim Pearl flew from her hand, its power amplified by the Calamity Power, stirring up a tumultuous green sea in the Purity Domain!
The scene was identical to before.
Shen Yi also swung the Effortless Blade, but this time, something was different.
The surging waves instantly turned into mist and dissipated.
The radiant Emerald Swim Pearl couldn’t even last a breath before it dimmed and fell to the ground at You Yao’s feet.
Her fingers trembled violently, her eyes fixed on the fallen pearl in disbelief.
The gap in their cultivation was indeed significant.
Not just a little, but nearly double.
