Chapter 625: When the Flower Blooms
Chapter 625: Chapter 625: When the Flower Blooms
This was the most direct collision!
The moment Chi Yunxiao and Zhou Yishui’s fists touched, they exploded with astonishing aura. Amidst the engulfing lightning, their figures were completely swallowed up.
The next moment, Chi Yunxiao’s figure flew out backward from the storm of lightning, with a trace of fresh blood at the corner of his mouth, his face full of shock.
As for Zhou Yishui, although his face turned pale, he didn’t bleed or get blasted away.
This scene caused several people below to change their expressions, revealing looks of surprise.
“He’s gotten stronger!” Dugu Ruoxu said in a solemn voice, holding his sword and unleashing a Sword Qi.
Zhou Yishui didn’t retreat, instead aiming a finger at Dugu Ruoxu.
A golden finger appeared, carrying an oppressive aura, clashing with Dugu Ruoxu’s sword light.
BAM!!!
The sword light was sharp and oppressive, and the golden finger carried an overwhelming power. As they collided, it was hard to tell which one was superior.
However, shortly after, Dugu Ruoxu’s sword light began to dim, constantly being suppressed by that golden finger.
“Soaring Dragon Chasing Moon!”
With an angry shout from Dugu Ruoxu, the sword light suddenly grew stronger, transforming into a dragon figure. It instantly shattered the golden finger, charging straight towards Zhou Yishui’s body.
“Impressive move, Soaring Dragon Chasing Moon. The Sword Tao of the Dugu Family is indeed as famous as it is rumored!” Zhou Yishui praised. With a flip of his hand, he brought down a palm strike.
The giant golden palm, like a mountain, collided fiercely with the dragon figure formed by the Sword Qi.
In an instant, the dragon figure turned into tens of thousands of Sword Qi’s, slashing the golden palm into pieces.
However, similarly, the golden palm also annihilated all of these Sword Qi’s, none of them landing on Zhou Yishui’s body.
Dugu Ruoxu’s brow furrowed. The strength of Zhou Yishui was somewhat unexpected. He was at least ten times stronger than when they fought a year ago.
“Miss Mei, aren’t you going to make a move?” Zhou Yishui looked at Mei Yingxue and said with a light smirk.
Mei Yingxue didn’t speak, nor did she move, but a misty drizzle suddenly started pouring from above.
This drizzle fell abruptly, landing on Zhou Yishui, Chi Yunxiao, Dugu Ruoxu, and Wang Erdan.
However, it did not fall on her, Mei Yingxue.
Zhou Yishui’s complexion instantly changed slightly, and he activated his Inner Strength, preventing the rain from continuing to fall on him.
Heavenly Fragrance Valley’s unique skill—Empty Mountain New Rain.
At this moment, Zhou Yishui felt that his Inner Strength had been somewhat influenced. Although the influence wasn’t great, it still impeded his ability to fully bring forth his power.
That was the brilliance of Empty Mountain New Rain. In this rain curtain, Mei Yingxue’s power increased by a third, while the opponent would be affected by the rain, weakening their strength.
Mei Yingxue made another move, with the Plum Blossom Paper Umbrella in her hand flying out, floating above Zhou Yishui’s head.
Zhou Yishui did not dare to be careless, seemingly well aware of the power of this umbrella, he immediately threw a punch.
From within the paper umbrella, came a stream of light, and four pale red chains flew out, binding Zhou Yishui’s body.
This paper umbrella, called the Doomsday Umbrella, was unique to the Heavenly Fragrance Valley.
It combined offense and defense and possessed several mysterious uses. Zhou Yishui, the crown prince, had tasted its power in the past.
Presently, a furious roar from the Flood Dragon was emitted from Zhou Yishui’s left arm, instantly shaking off one of the chains.
Contained in Zhou Yishui’s left arm was a segment of Flood Dragon Bone, not some half-baked Mountain Devouring Flood Dragon, but an extraordinarily powerful Flood Dragon that had reached the Demon King realm.
Back before the Xuan Emperor ascended the throne, he shocked the contemporary world by dragging a dead Flood Dragon out of Hundred Beast Mountain.
Now the Demon Bone of that very Flood Dragon laid within Zhou Yishui’s left arm, wedged in with the personal help of the Xuan Emperor.
At this moment, the power of the Demon Bone erupted, making it difficult for Zhou Yishui to be confined by the Doomsday Umbrella.
Mei Yingxue seemed to have anticipated this, with a jade qin appearing from a clap on her Nine Palace Bag.
She delicately played the jade qin, and the sounds arose like trickling spring water and falling autumn leaves.
Upon hearing the qin notes, Zhou Yishui’s face stiffened and his eyes tensed. The Doomsday Umbrella emitted a greater radiance, and more chains descended with a stronger light enveloping them.
Even though Zhou Yishui invoked the power of the Flood Dragon Bone, he still had difficulty moving. The combination of the qin music and the Doomsday Umbrella amplified the umbrella’s power severalfold.
Seven Uniques of Heavenly Fragrance: qin, go, calligraphy, painting, medicine, umbrella, flower. Mei Yingxue was the most outstanding disciple of the Heavenly Fragrance Valley’s current generation and naturally had mastery over these seven uniques.
Among these seven uniques, all but medicine and flower cultivation can be used in Martial Arts.
The combination of this jade qin and the Doomsday Umbrella significantly reinforced the binding power. Even Zhou Yishui found it hard to break free for a good while.
Seizing the opportunity, Dugu Ruoxu and Chi Yunxiao struck immediately.
“You can’t defeat me!” Zhou Yishui roared, the light from his Spirit Eye intensifying.
A shadow of a Flood Dragon emerged, not a spiritual entity manifested by the power of spirit eyes, but a substantial Soul of the Flood Dragon!
This scene left Chi Yunxiao and Dugu Ruoxu stunned and retreating simultaneously.
This was a Soul of a Flood Dragon forcibly sealed in Zhou Yishui’s Spirit Eye, a feat only achievable with extraordinary means and audacity. It must be the Flood Dragon the Xuan Emperor brought back in his early years, the Dragon Soul had been imprisoned in Zhou Yishui’s Spirit Eye using some method after its death.
Zhou Yishui had no other choice. The pressure of facing these adversaries simultaneously was too much, so the secrets he had never revealed before were now practically laid bare.
The Soul of the Flood Dragon, though not as dominant as it was in its lifetime, was still not to be underestimated. The battle between the Dragon Soul and Dugu Ruoxu and Chi Yunxiao didn’t earn them much advantage.
Wang Erdan had been observing coldly without making a move.
Seeing that Zhou Yishui was about to break free from the Doomsday Umbrella, he finally sneered.
“Only with this level of power are you worthy of being my adversary!” Wang Erdan laughed heartily, finally making a move.
He thumped out a fist, filled with extreme brutality. Compressed above the fist were five different types of energy, representing the Five Elements.
Zhou Yishui, all in a rush, also mustered the power of the Demon Bone in his left arm and hurled a punch.
Bang!!!!
The confrontation between these punches was shockingly intense, both men grunted and were immediately blown backward.
Zhou Yishui’s most feared adversary was Wang Erdan.
Wang Erdan was practicing the secret skill of the Five Elements, stepping on an unimaginable grand path, whose achievement in the future was incalculable.
That was also why the Five Elements Sect was still undefeated and showed signs of resurgence despite being somewhat declined these days.
The secret scripture of the Five Elements Sect was considered the best in Xuan Country, even the imperial family’s unique arts were slightly inferior in terms of level.
With just Wang Erdan alone, Zhou Yishui had no confidence he could win, let alone with the addition of Mei Yingxue and the other two. Even if Zhou Yishui had three heads and six arms, it would still be hard for him to resist.
At this moment, the sixth petal of the Unfading Flower of Seven Spirits had fully bloomed, and the last one was slowly unfolding.
