Chapter 172: Clash! Jade Body Stabilization Technique
Chapter 172: Chapter 172: Clash! Jade Body Stabilization Technique
Zhu Ge had long suspected that things like Spirit Soil and Spiritual Water definitely existed.
He had even dug up some Spirit Soil himself.
He could also easily imagine how important Spirit Soil and a Spiritual Spring would be to a Sect.
So it made sense that he couldn’t find any information about them; it was clearly being suppressed.
And now, hearing that the two people nearby were fighting over the eye of a Spiritual Spring, Zhu Ge’s heart leaped.
What’s more, it wasn’t a Spirit Level spring eye, but an Elemental Level one!
Zhu Ge lay low, maintaining the power consumption of his *Secret* ability as he observed the fight above.
One could use the techniques of others to polish one’s own skills.
’Whether I should play the fisherman and reap the rewards is a question for later. For now, I can watch these two fight and learn from the combat methods of these prodigies.’
BOOM!!!
BOOM!!!
BOOM!!
At that moment, the two in the sky were not clashing directly, yet they were causing a series of terrifying explosions.
Guan Julan had a beautiful face and was dressed in light gauze. Under the moonlight, she looked like an Exiled Immortal who had descended to the mortal realm. Streams of water swirled around her, flashing with hints of silver light.
Su Feibai, on the other hand, was a handsome man in a Daoist robe. The Spiritual Power within him surged as his hands moved through the seals for a Technique.
"You stiff! I’m getting serious now!" Guan Julan snapped. "Gather the rivers and seas, swallow a thousand streams!"
The next moment, the Dao Heart in her chest pulsed violently, and the phantasmal image of a goddess picking a lotus appeared in the sky.
Countless water droplets transformed into sharp needles, shooting toward Su Feibai from all directions.
If one looked closely, one could even see the reflection of a lake within each Water Needle.
A single drop of water was an entire lake!
And a dense swarm of these Water Needles shot toward Su Feibai.
"I’ve long heard that the water techniques of your Cloud Dream Immortal Sect are formidable. Seeing them today, they truly live up to their reputation!" Su Feibai laughed loudly as the Technique seals his hands were already forming suddenly shifted.
"Arise!"
With a low shout from Su Feibai, a great blade suddenly materialized. It was larger than a door panel, emerald green all over, and it swept out like a shield.
All the Water Needles collided with the great blade, and in the next instant, the world went deaf.
BOOM!!!!!
The droplets were the size of silver needles, yet each one was heavier than a thousand pounds. Their collision with the great blade sounded like the striking of a great temple bell.
Zhu Ge, who had been hiding well below, couldn’t help but let out a muffled grunt at the sound.
’A moment of carelessness, and I was almost injured!’
However, that single, soft grunt caused both the rain of needles and the great blade above to fly toward Zhu Ge’s position.
"Damn it..."
Zhu Ge was exasperated.
He had been discovered.
But he had been on high alert the whole time. Seeing the attack come his way, he pushed off hard with his thighs and leaped rapidly backward.
KR-BOOM!!
Where he had just been, the rain of needles and the great blade dissipated, leaving only a massive crater.
"Could you be a disciple of the He Thief Sect?" Su Feibai called out with a laugh.
"You rat, hiding and skulking about! Trying to ambush me, are you?" Guan Julan cried out. "I’ll kill you both!"
Although their expressions and words differed, both of them now directed their killing intent toward Zhu Ge.
Zhu Ge frowned.
’Is it because my attempt to reap the spoils of their conflict has angered them both?’
He wasn’t afraid, however.
If he couldn’t win, he could still run.
"Brother Su, why don’t we team up to take down this Guan Julan? I only want the Elemental Level Spring Eye; you can have everything else," Zhu Ge called out loudly.
"Hahaha, you rat who walks the Thief Dao, you think you’re worthy of fighting alongside me?" Su Feibai roared with laughter. He formed a Technique seal, and three great blades that looked as if they were carved from jade appeared in the sky, pressing down on Zhu Ge with extreme speed.
To deal with Zhu Ge, Su Feibai didn’t even bother using his Third Realm intent.
But while Su Feibai held back, Guan Julan did not.
"You little thief, I hate people who walk the Martial Dao more than anything!" Guan Julan waved her hand again, and another volley of needle-like rain appeared.
Seeing this, Zhu Ge knew the two of them were dead set on killing him.
But he was highly skilled and bold, so he wasn’t afraid of their combined attack.
"Vajra Palm!"
Zhu Ge snorted coldly. His Blood Qi surged as he struck out with his palm.
The Heart of Origin throbbed wildly, its phantom image on the verge of appearing but not quite manifesting.
Zhu Ge didn’t dare unleash his full power all at once. After all, his opponents weren’t some simple solo practitioners.
When he had sparred with the Sword and Axe Mantis before, he had clearly demonstrated power that surpassed others in the same realm.
The power brought by his Heart of Origin combined with the manifestation of its phantom image allowed Zhu Ge to kill enemies above his own realm.
At the same time, he had fought for a long time in the mountains and forests, giving him incredibly rich combat experience.
Combining the numerous Martial Arts from the Huaxia of his previous life, the techniques he learned from observing Demon Beasts, and the powerful Body Refinement effects of the *Great Sun Glaze Body*...
Zhu Ge was now in no way inferior to an ordinary Third Realm cultivator.
BANG!!!
His Vajra Palm swept upward, his palm filled with Blood Qi and glowing with golden light. With just a few slaps, he shattered the three blades.
The powerful recoil sent his blood and qi into turmoil, and he almost coughed up a mouthful of blood.
Fortunately, his Heart of Martial Arts Origin began to beat, stabilizing the chaotic state within his body.
Immediately after, another volley of needle-like rain arrived.
Zhu Ge directly took out his Purgatory Star Rod, spinning it to block all the incoming needles.
DING! DING! DING!...
A series of sharp impacts rang out, and a terrifying recoil force traveled up the Purgatory Star Rod.
Originally, Zhu Ge could have taken their attacks head-on with his body alone.
But his *Great Sun Glaze Body* was very special, and its Body Refinement effects were exceptionally prominent.
Zhu Ge didn’t want to reveal that he was a Body Refining Martial Artist just yet.
"You little thief, you actually have a treasure like this? Badass." Guan Julan’s eyes lit up.
Guan Julan had willow-leaf brows, phoenix eyes, and a complexion as fair as the autumn moon reflected on water, yet a constant stream of vulgarities flowed from her mouth.
WHOOSH!!
But just as Guan Julan was speaking, Su Feibai shot down from the sky.
"Haha, my good sir, I like that rod of yours. Name your price," Su Feibai said, but his eyes erupted with a foot-long white light as the Magical Power in his body boiled.
"If you won’t name a price, then I’ll just assume you’re giving it to me for free!"
Then, an emerald-colored great blade appeared in Su Feibai’s hand.
It seemed Su Feibai was not purely an Immortal Daoist Cultivator, but also knew some Martial Dao techniques.
Logically speaking, it wasn’t rare for those of the Immortal Dao to also train in the Martial Dao, but it was very difficult to master both.
Zhu Ge, however, did not let his guard down.
Since Su Feibai dared to engage in close combat knowing that Zhu Ge was a Martial Arts Cultivator, he clearly had confidence in his own abilities.
Even a lion uses its full strength to hunt a rabbit.
What’s more, Zhu Ge was facing two prodigies who were on the *Sheji Chart*.
He didn’t dare be the least bit careless. Using the *Waist and Horse Skill* as his foundation, he rooted himself firmly to the ground. At the same time, he gripped his rod with both hands and executed a move from the *Thirty-Six Paths of the Giant Pendulum*.
Even now, Zhu Ge had not used his Dawn Intent, instead adopting a defensive posture.
"Within six feet, I am invincible."
Facing the approaching Su Feibai, Zhu Ge stood in a horse stance and brandished his Purgatory Star Rod.
"Invincible? Ridiculous." Su Feibai scoffed, his Magical Power flaring. Then he gave a soft shout:
"Jade Body Stabilization Technique!"
