CHAPTER 583: CHAPTER 259: HALF-STEP GREAT POWER, VICTORY AND DEFEAT!

"Yu Lanxin has grasped a trace of the Heaven and Earth’s Great Trend!"

"Excellent, with this, Luo Cheng has no chance of winning! He will definitely face defeat!"

Upon hearing Yu Lanxin’s words, the elders of the Luoxia Sect who were worried about the battle all breathed a sigh of relief.

They did not expect that Yu Lanxin, the senior sister of the Luoxia Sect, would be pushed to this point by the newly risen Luo Cheng.

After all, Luo Cheng is just an inexperienced newcomer. If Yu Lanxin were to lose or even draw with him, it would be a disgrace for the Luoxia Sect.

But now, there’s no need to worry.

Beginning to understand the Heaven and Earth’s Great Trend, even just a little, is no small matter. It signifies touching the threshold of the Four Extremes Secret Realm and being considered a half-step Great Power!

Her combat power is not something an Awakening Vein Realm expert can compare to.

"Just a year after the Three Sects Martial Arts Competition, she’s grown to such an extent..."

Elder Bi Qiushui was somewhat lost in thought.

Though she looked favorably upon Luo Cheng, she did not expect him to achieve such accomplishments.

Hmm!

With a glance, Elder Bi Qiushui was somewhat surprised.

A kilometer away, on the glowing clouds, mist billowed, light scattered, and a graceful figure stood there.

Her eyes were like water, veiled by mist, her fairy-like form poised, black hair lightly drifted, her demeanor serene and aloof, resembling Guanghan Fairy descending to the mortal world, expressionlessly gazing at Luo Cheng below.

"Yin Li..."

Elder Bi Qiushui was somewhat surprised.

Since completing her training at the Seven-Colored Spring, Yin Li had been in seclusion, unexpectedly appearing here at this moment.

Lightly shaking her head, Elder Bi Qiushui turned her gaze back to the battlefield below.

"Heaven and Earth’s Great Trend..."

Upon hearing Yu Lanxin’s words, Luo Cheng was not surprised.

He had already sensed it at Xiu Xia Peak.

Slightly exhaling, Luo Cheng shook his sword blade, the Sword Momentum on him intensified, and he smiled:

"Go ahead and unleash your power; I too wish to test my ultimate strength."

Luo Cheng wanted to measure his strength through Yu Lanxin, and wouldn’t give up.

Yu Lanxin beginning to understand the Heaven and Earth’s Great Trend was indeed extraordinary, but he still hadn’t revealed his full strength; Xuanlong Technique had yet to be employed.

It is important to note, after this period of training, his Xuanlong Technique has greatly improved, being on the verge of reaching the Second Layer!

Feeling Luo Cheng’s strong confidence, Yu Lanxin was astonished and, without reservation, she smiled brightly:

"Then let’s decide victory in one move! Be careful!"

As soon as she finished speaking, the vortex Martial Soul behind Yu Lanxin trembled slightly, and suddenly, the entire expanse of water energy madly gathered towards her, causing waves on the lake below to surge violently.

Boom...

Winds rise and clouds gather, water tornadoes began to form around Yu Lanxin, spiraling upwards like roaring water dragons.

Standing amidst the water tornadoes, Yu Lanxin’s dress fluttered; she appeared unchanged, yet gave an illusion of towering and infinite elevation!

"Heaven and Water Unity!"

At the peak of her momentum, Yu Lanxin directly unleashed her killing strike!

As her sword slashed out, the water tornadoes immediately charged towards Luo Cheng with overwhelming force!

Surrounding water vapor was constantly absorbed, making the tornadoes even more terrifying, covering the sky, crushing the void, roaring, wherever they reached, mountains collapsed and cracked, thunder roared, as if the end of the world had arrived, everything seemed doomed to be torn apart and obliterated, shocking the soul!

"Luo Cheng..."

Yan Qingshuang and the Ninth Princess were tense, hardly daring to breathe, the sword’s power was too terrifying, even miles away they felt a chilling terror.

"Utilizing the Heaven and Earth’s Great Trend, truly extraordinary! The mere force is enough to awe the enemy."

Luo Cheng’s heart was equally shaken, the overwhelming Sword Momentum and pressure faced, causing Essence Energy circulation in his body to stagnate, he withheld nothing anymore.

Roar!

Dragon roars echoed, Luo Cheng directly activated the Xuanlong Technique, an unprecedented surging wave of Essence Energy emerged from his body, causing the air to undulate like water!

He gripped his sword with both hands, his mind immersed in Sword Intent, like a calm, still water surface, only a penetrating killing aura surrounded him, growing more intense, giving an impression of quiet before a storm, the darkness before dawn.

As the overwhelming water tornadoes approached, Luo Cheng’s Sword Momentum condensed to its peak, his gaze like lightning, he swung his sword diagonally.

"Divine Wind Absolute Kill! Slash!"

Boom!

A Sword Qi Tornado whistled out, colliding with the overwhelming water tornadoes, a vast and majestic shockwave furiously proliferated.

Under watchful eyes, an astonishing scene unfolded.

The water tornadoes, driven by Heaven and Earth’s Great Trend, with terrifying momentum, were pierced and dispersed into torrential rain, the heavy rain crumbled the mountain below into fragments.

Meanwhile, Luo Cheng’s Sword Qi Tornado was constantly eroded, however, under the Sword Intent’s support, it steadfastly sliced through, layer by layer, with an unyielding realm, slaying ruthlessly!

Pop!

Finally, both killing strikes reached their limits, bursting open, the terrifying impact formed a transparent sphere, expanding rapidly.

Whoosh! Whoosh!

Yu Lanxin and Luo Cheng both retreated.

Luo Cheng retreated only a dozen steps.

Yu Lanxin flew back more than a hundred meters, a peculiar blush appeared on her fair face, she looked towards Luo Cheng with deep surprise in her eyes:

"Never thought you still retained such power!"

The previous sword not only contained three realms, devastatingly powerful, but also carried an absolute killing intent, extremely terrifying, affecting Yu Lanxin’s mood.

Luo Cheng exhaled a murky breath, half-truthfully said:

"This is just a secret technique of mine, allowing a momentarily surge in combat strength. If it continues, I’ll soon fall behind."

The Xuanlong Technique indeed consumes significant Essence Energy and spirit, but given Luo Cheng’s Soul Power and Essence Energy, sustaining for the time of a stick of incense is not an issue.

Saying this is just giving himself some leeway, avoiding too much shocking revelation, also keeping some cards reserved.

Of course, even if exposed, he wouldn’t fear.

Before long, the Xuanlong Technique will ascend to the Second Layer, becoming his new trump card.

Chime!

Sheathing his sword, Luo Cheng smiled at Yu Lanxin: "It’s been a while since I fought so heartily; let’s consider today a tie. Next time we have a chance, let’s decide the outcome again."

Yu Lanxin remained silent, but inwardly she was bitterly smiling.

What is her realm!

Luo Cheng’s realm is what!

Besides, in the final move, her Sword Momentum was completely demolished, whereas Luo Cheng’s Sword Intent influenced her.

Truthfully, she had lost.

And it was a complete defeat!

"A tie..."

Yan Qingshuang and the Ninth Princess were already stunned.

No matter how they never expected the battle to end in such a result.

Qi Yue looked dazedly at Luo Cheng, the corners of her mouth revealed a self-deprecating smile.

In her heart, she compared, facing Luo Cheng’s previous sword, she was helpless to resist, with a nine out of ten chance of being killed in one strike.

At this moment, Qi Yue finally understood what Luo Cheng meant when he previously said that her pride was inconsequential!

The various auras she once prided herself on now seemed utterly ridiculous!
