Chapter 824
Golden Spring and Jade-like Radiance, Golden Light Piercing the Rainbow
Chapter 824 Golden Spring and Jade-like Radiance, Golden Light Piercing the Rainbow (Seeking Monthly Tickets~)
The voice, as clear and melodious as a golden spring, was filled with a chilling coldness.
Golden light shone brightly, moon shadows overlapped, and clear radiance fell, drifting and swirling, condensing into arrows.
Chen Ping'an stood in mid-air, his white hair fluttering in the wind, revealing a face that resembled that of Shi Menglianjun.
Chen Ping'an hadn't expected that Hua Ruyue would act so suddenly.
He only uttered the word "deal," and the other party reacted so strongly.
Do not!
To be precise, it was only after he mentioned the Demon King's blood that the other party's attitude changed drastically, becoming icy and hostile.
What's the situation?
Is there some misunderstanding?
Who would have thought that Hua Ruyue would be so fierce, drawing her bow and catching an arrow without saying a word?
Anyone who didn't know better would think she was a celestial being and that he was the grandmaster.
Such a scene, where a Grandmaster challenges a martial arts master, Hua Ruyue is really something else!
Is this the legendary scene in biographical novels where the destined protagonist confronts the villain head-on?
"Am I now the villain?"
Chen Ping'an's mind raced with a myriad of thoughts.
"Fellow Daoist Hua, why do you say this?!" Chen Ping'an looked surprised, wondering if there was some misunderstanding.
This is a rare opportunity; Hua Ruyue may possess the blood of a demon beast that he desires. It would be a real pity to give it up so easily.
He still wanted to see if there was any room for maneuver.
The best way to plan a deal is to do it amicably.
This is involving knives and arrows; it's not quite right.
"Who exactly are you?" The golden light was dazzling, like the radiance of the sun. Within the crescent-shaped longbow, the cold light of the moon had already condensed and taken shape.
"Fellow Daoist Hua, is there some misunderstanding here?"
"Misunderstanding?" Hua Ruyue's eyes were like golden springs, her voice clear and cold: "How do you know I have the Demon King's blood on me?"
"There really is one!?" Chen Ping'an was overjoyed.
He was trying to ask if Hua Ruyue had really killed that demon king.
That's incredible!
“Fellow Daoist, you misunderstand. I heard that you went to the Northern Mountain to hunt down the Demon King. Now that I have met you, I assume that you have succeeded in hunting him down, and I will use this as a bargaining chip.”
"What arrogance! Such a silver tongue!" Hua Ruyue's eyes grew even colder: "To be so certain without even making a judgment, you must have been plotting something all along!"
broken!
Chen Pingan couldn't help but want to slap his thigh.
This psychological warfare has backfired on them.
They had hoped to take the initiative and seize the advantage, but who knew that Hua Ruyue would be so unreasonable.
Indeed, not all people in this world are like Fellow Daoist Lan, so refined and agile, possessing the heart of a child.
"Hiding your head and revealing your tail, full of loopholes, you're plotting something here. Tell me, are you one of the people who mend the heavens?" The moon shadow in Hua Ruyue's hand already had moonlight condensing, showing a sharp and instantaneous power.
"The Way of Mending Heaven?" Chen Ping'an was taken aback.
Is this related to the matter of mending the heavens?
"I am a rogue cultivator from Bi Cang, what makes you say such a thing, Fellow Daoist Hua!" Chen Ping'an's smile faded, and his eyes darkened.
"Stubborn!"
call out!
A long arrow, gleaming with moonlight, shot forth. The Arrow God's entire body seemed to be formed from moonlight, its tail swaying with golden flames.
"Since you won't tell me, then I'll find the answer myself."
call out!call out!call out!
A series of cold, moonlit rays shot forth like a string of pearls, quickly filling the sky.
"It seems that no matter what I say, fellow Daoist, you won't believe me." Chen Ping'an's eyes suddenly turned cold, his expression utterly calm.
"Since Fellow Daoist Hua is determined to be my enemy, then I shall..."
hum~
An icy jade hairpin shot out, its chilling aura instantly freezing the surrounding space.
"They're not easy to deal with either!"
In mid-air, a deep, vertical pupil slowly opened, a terrifying aura brewing within it.
"So that fellow Daoist may know that I am dignified and cannot be insulted."
Pong!
A deafening explosion rang out, like a sonic boom, thunder shook the heavens. Facing the rain of arrows, Chen Ping'an did not retreat but advanced, meeting the arrows head-on.
At the same time, a flash of cold light shot out, transforming into an ice crystal hairpin, freezing everything in its path.
Golden light shimmered, moonlight condensed into dew.
Hua Ruyue's hair fluttered, her skirt billowed, and her figure shifted in mid-air.
Arrows flew from the crescent-shaped longbow in her hand, their shadows cold and their tails golden and fiery, seemingly endless.
A jade hairpin made of ice crystals, with deep, vertical pupils.
Hua Ruyue's expression remained unchanged as she watched the two powerful artifacts activate simultaneously in the distance.
Using powerful treasures consumes a great deal of energy. Even among second-realm celestial beings, a considerable number cannot afford the energy consumption of wielding two powerful treasures simultaneously.
Those who can simultaneously drive and precisely control these abilities are all seasoned veterans among the second-realm celestial beings.
The fact that the other party has achieved this level of cultivation with the cultivation of the first realm of perfection is absolutely rare among the celestial beings.
"Such a foundation truly indicates a vast and profound heritage."
A rogue cultivator? What a joke!
Flowers bloom like the moon, golden robes flutter, and hair dances in the air.
Even when facing a martial arts master with profound knowledge and experience, she remained completely unmoved.
At this moment, all she wanted was to get it over with quickly, the sooner the better.
Such a foundation is something even a sect elder might not possess. As for rogue cultivators, it's even less likely.
The fact that she killed the transformed demon king was only known to that traitor who mended the heavens back then, and he spoke of it with such certainty that he was clearly certain of it all along.
Their backgrounds are extraordinary; they possess the blood of a demon king, and it was a fortunate coincidence that they met here.
Given all these factors, she wouldn't believe it was just a coincidence.
The Xuanling region is desolate and remote; even celestial beings rarely find one here. Who would have heard of someone with such a foundation, who happens to appear here? And to do so, they even encountered her.
As for what the other party said just now, they were a liar, how could they be trusted!
Fourth-stage body refinement, pure Dao foundation, protected by powerful treasures.
A rogue cultivator from Azure Azure Land!?
Absolutely ridiculous!
Swish!
Hua Ruyue dodged the icy jade light with a swift movement. The terrifying chill spread around, but it had no effect on her whatsoever.
"Let me see who you really are!"
With this thought in mind, Hua Ruyue no longer held back. The cold light of the moon shadow in her hand intensified, and within the golden light, there was an extremely profound artistic conception of heaven and man.
Peng! Peng! Peng!
The moon's shadow vanished, and golden light trembled.
Several golden rays of moonlight dissipated into Chen Ping'an's terrifying blood and qi power.
A terrifying force shook the area, blasting away the rain of moonlight arrows ahead.
"They're so troublesome!"
Chen Ping'an threw a punch, his blood and qi dissipated, and a ray of moonlight dimmed.
However, the cold moonlight seemed endless, and those within it had no idea where it ended.
The sheer number of moonbeams wasn't the problem; the problem lay in the terrifying killing intent contained within each beam. Especially the golden flame tail, which held a chilling aura that even he could feel.
Each beam of moonlight possessed a destructive power comparable to the full force of the Dream Lotus Lord's attack. However, unlike the Dream Lotus Lord, these moonlight beams were endless. The speed at which Chen Ping'an was annihilated was even slower than the speed at which the moonlight beams were generated.
"Can a Grandmaster really withstand such a drain?" Chen Ping'an was shocked, experiencing for the first time the oppressive aura of a female Grandmaster, the number one in the Wind and Cloud, Moon Shadow Divine Arrow.
When he first heard about this on the leaderboard, he thought it was an exaggeration. How could a Grandmaster withstand the power of an arrow that was almost divine?
Such arrows, flashing like the moon and the sky, would not only fill the sky, but even an ordinary person would be exhausted after firing just a few. Even with the aid of external aids, it would not be as terrifying as the rankings suggest.
I was surprised at first, but now it seems that Hua Ruyue, the number one on the Wind and Cloud Ranking, is several times more powerful than anyone else on the Wind and Cloud Ranking!
This arrow's light and moonlight shadow were more than just close to the might of a celestial being; they were the combined power of a celestial being!
How could Hua Ruyue withstand such terrifying consumption?
Peng! Peng! Peng!
Chen Ping'an's blood and qi surged, his muscles and bones became incredibly strong.
He had tempered his physique with Qingyang Blood Refinement and also cultivated a body-strengthening technique. Even without activating his bloodline's divine power, he could still unleash terrifying force with the help of Heavenly True Essence. However, under Hua Ruyue's onslaught, he appeared somewhat passive.
His killing power was one aspect, but the key point was that he couldn't even get close to Hua Ruyue.
Or rather, it's very difficult to get close to Hua Ruyue.
Although he trembled the space and soared through the sky, Hua Ruyue's figure kept changing, maintaining an extremely precise distance between them. Despite using his vital energy and physical body, supplemented by the Celestial Escape Technique, he could not close the distance in the slightest in front of her.
In addition, the golden light of the moon filled the sky, hindering his speed.
The opponent's position changed, and their agility and maneuverability, combined with the flashes of arrows and the movement of the moon, made them appear incredibly nimble.
On the other hand, he was surrounded by arrows and was in a situation where he was being attacked unilaterally.
"Who the hell is this person who's a celestial being?!"
Chen Ping'an felt speechless.
He was clearly in a superior realm, so how did he end up being the one passively taking hits despite the significant difference in their cultivation levels?
Is this what it feels like when a villain in a biography meets the destined protagonist in a cross-border battle?
Chen Ping'an's emotions fluctuated, his blood and qi surged, and he occasionally unleashed powerful weapons to launch attacks.
Unfortunately, Hua Ruyue's escape speed was extremely high, and his treasures were of the precision strike type, making it difficult to cover a wide area. After crossing the sky, it was difficult to pose any threat to Hua Ruyue.
To be precise, even at this point in the battle, he had not yet touched the hem of Hua Ruyue's clothes.
"This battle is fierce!"
The rain of arrows was nothing to worry about; although extremely lethal, it posed no threat to him.
But this feeling is really bad.
One side gets beaten up unilaterally, who's going to stand up to that?
"I absolutely must get close to you!"
Chen Ping'an's blood and qi surged, and he originally intended to retain some of his blood and qi power, but now it roared and trembled completely.
At this moment, apart from not yet triggering his bloodline divine ability, his body tempering cultivation was completely revealed without reservation.
I've already overpowered you with my Celestial Realm cultivation; do you think I'd let you bully me?!
If that's true, then all my years of spiritual practice have become a joke.
Since we've already started fighting, regardless of the reason, I'll beat you into submission first!
Pong!
Chen Ping'an roared up, his figure even larger than before.
At the same time, a shimmering, deep blue water droplet surrounded by water appeared instantly.
Guided by the divine soul, waves of light and water surged forth instantly.
Boom!
The waves surged and roared, transforming into towering giant waves that surged and roared like deep-sea dragons, rushing towards us.
The raging waves are towering!
The waters converged, and the giant waves raged, quickly forming a deep-sea boundary.
However, unlike when attacking Menglianjun, the scope and effectiveness of this deep-sea realm have been weakened to some extent due to the influence of the terrain.
As the giant waves crashed down, a significant portion of the tide receded downwards. Even with divine guidance, this trend was unavoidable.
Furthermore, holding a deep sea in mid-air presents a challenge, requiring the expenditure of spiritual power and causing damage to the water.
But in this situation, Chen Ping'an couldn't care less about these things.
Hua Ruyue's speed was astonishing, and he was light and agile. With a rain of arrows blocking his way, if he didn't use some tricks, he would probably be led by the nose.
In the end, it's always a one-sided beating.
If the deep-sea boundary can be used to bind and restrict the opponent, this battle will be much easier. If not, with the deep-sea boundary present, the moonlight and golden light will be greatly diminished as they are absorbed into it.
Even if there are some restrictions on him, the effect will not be as good as before.
Chen Ping'an moved with fierce power, accompanied by the sweeping water and a tremor in his soul, as he charged towards Hua Ruyue.
Looking at the white-haired man in front of her, whose blood and qi were surging and who was moving with ease through the rain of moonlight arrows, a barely perceptible look of surprise appeared in Hua Ruyue's eyes.
Under her relentless, rain-like attacks, even a second-realm Celestial would likely be in a sorry state. How much more so for her, who seemed so relaxed and at ease. Though she didn't escape the arrow rain, her performance clearly indicated she could withstand it for an extremely long time.
Before she could do anything, she saw the man's already booming blood energy explode even more, his blood energy power actually surpassing hers by more than a level.
"A body-forging secret technique?" A ripple appeared in Hua Ruyue's golden eyes.
The other person wasn't practicing some kind of external martial arts technique, but rather some kind of secret body-strengthening method. She couldn't immediately identify what this secret method was, but it probably wasn't a mainstream method of cultivation.
But this power
Looking at the man whose blood and energy were roaring and whose speed was far superior, Hua Ruyue's eyes rippled with a hint of emotion.
"Still denying you're the one who mended the sky!"
A cold glint flashed in Hua Ruyue's eyes, and a golden mark appeared between her brows.
The inscription is intricate, its golden runes dazzling and radiant.
At that moment, a surging wave emerged from mid-air, whipping up giant waves that soared into the sky, like an endless water dragon, swirling and intertwining, forming a towering force.
"A rare thing from the sea!"
Hua Ruyue's eyes flashed with golden light, and she immediately spotted the dark blue water droplet in the towering waves.
Surrounded by water, shimmering and sparkling, the endless deep-sea waves surge forth from the water droplets, transforming into giant water dragons and waves, forming the source of the vast ocean.
Anyone in this situation would likely gasp in astonishment and be filled with surprise.
A martial arts master with only one realm of cultivation, even if he has reached the perfection of the first realm, has not even reached the realm of the rainbow, yet he already possesses two protective treasures and a fourth-level body protection. Now, he is even displaying a rare sea creature of extremely high quality.
Such a situation is astonishing no matter how much one tries to describe it. Such accumulation is not only sufficient for an ordinary second-realm Celestial Being, but it would also be perfectly acceptable for an extremely experienced second-realm Celestial Being who is just one step away from the third realm.
Faced with this scene, Hua Ruyue calmed down, and the ripple in her eyes was completely smoothed out.
She reached out and nocked the bow; a bowstring appeared within the crescent-shaped longbow.
The golden light was dazzling, and the strings were shimmering.
As Hua Ruyue drew the bowstring, beams of golden light converged, intertwined, and condensed on the bowstring.
In just a few breaths, a golden arrow, radiating brilliance, completely appeared.
Hua Ruyue's eyes narrowed, as if a golden spring had suddenly appeared.
"Whoosh!"
The golden light, as radiant as the sun, traversed the vast sky and headed straight for Chen Ping'an.
Boom!
Huge waves surged and churned.
The arrow's light remained dazzling, like solidified golden light, indestructible.
The water surged into the sky, shooting straight at the opponent's body amidst a rain of arrows.
The soul trembled, and the protective barrier shattered.
next moment!
The waves surged and rolled, countless waves swirling and sweeping, seemingly blotting out the sky and obscuring the view.
Wow~
The waves surged down as if descending from the heavens.
Amidst the surging waves, a figure gradually emerged until it became completely clear.
"Very good! Hua Ruyue, is it?"
Waves surged and water cascaded down, revealing a strangely alluring, pale face.
Let's get to know each other again, Mr.
Fantasy thousand nights. "
Her eyes were like stars, her black hair was casually draped, and she had an eerie yet languid air, yet also exuded extreme danger.
It was so eerie and breathtaking that it seemed to overturn and corrupt people, making them lose all their youth.
Illusory Dream Lord, Illusory Thousand Nights!
