Chapter 1389: Spear and Shield【7 More】

~10 min read 1,936 words

Swish!

The 52nd Secret Art was released, luck was decent and randomly reached a 4th-tier quality……super long-distance teleportation gate.

Xun Shuang Xianzi was enveloped by the teleportation gate, directly sent away, not knowing where she went.

The surrounding audience were stunned for a moment, Xiao Feng also a bit surprised, not expecting such a surprise at the end.

At this point his endurance had stacked to 80 layers; once he drew his sword, his attack power would be tremendous!

Xun Shuang Xianzi was teleported away, but the battle hadn't ended; it seemed the system also knew she would return.

Indeed, after only 5 seconds, when his endurance stacked to 85 layers, a Taiji diagram teleportation gate opened on the Sword Discussion Peak plaza.

The Fairy Maiden's jade foot stepped out from within, treading on air, a cloud-like figure appeared, returning gracefully, unharmed.

Is it over?

She looked around; the chaotic aura of the Three Thousand Dao was already gone.

"It's over……"

Xiao Feng sighed.

Xiao Feng's Divine Avatar ultimately still couldn't inflict effective damage on her, merely delaying her for over a minute.

Moreover……this was actually voluntary on her part; if she had disregarded the effect of the Three Thousand Dao just now, she could have struck to kill Xiao Feng's Divine Avatar as well.

The gap of four realms is truly enormous; Xiao Feng's Divine Avatar's tyranny is enough to make True Immortals and God Kings tremble, yet it cannot shake her body.

At this moment he finally understood what the so-called 'countering a Golden Immortal' realm entails.

This really isn't boasting; it's that you can stand toe-to-toe with a Golden Immortal, exchanging blows blade for blade, without needing opportunistic tricks for such a frontal confrontation!

Compared to that, his shortcomings are still too obvious—his survivability is severely lacking, and his output falls far short.

Xun Shuang Xianzi remained silent; seeing the fireworks end, she raised her jade hand, yin-yang qi circulating in her palm, a flash of black-and-white light shot out and entered Xiao Feng's Divine Avatar's body.

4th-tier Secret Art——Yin-Yang Killing Calamity!

Pfft!

Xiao Feng never expected that the Secret Art he had only just comprehended would appear from someone else's hand and land on his own avatar.

Upon entering his body, the Yin-Yang Killing Calamity instantly destroyed his flesh and blood, exploding violently.

The damage was staggering, reaching 1.7 jing, enough to instant-kill him tens of thousands of times!

The avatar and main body were 800 meters apart, so they weren't hit by the homing pursuit; the main body was fine.

"Phew……finally dealt with one."

On the cloud platform, Ji Xingge and others secretly breathed a sigh of relief.

The avatar that Xiao Feng summoned upon his appearance had once made them a bit nervous, worrying that Xun Shuang Xianzi would run into trouble.

Now it seems they were overthinking; their junior sister is as steady as a rock, fundamentally not something a mere adventurer can shake.

"Fellow Daoist, bestow your sword."

Xun Shuang Xianzi obliterated Xiao Feng's Divine Avatar, turned around, and looked at Xiao Feng's main body.

She still had three Secret Art buffs on her: defense boost, half a shield, and slowed movement.

Overall, the benefits outweigh the drawbacks.

Xiao Feng's main body only had a single heal-over-time buff, and its effect was actually less than hers.

Perhaps precisely for that reason, she gave Xiao Feng's main body a first-move opportunity.

At this point Xiao Feng's endurance buff had stacked to over 90 layers.

He slowly walked toward the center of the arena, appearing full of momentum.

Actually……it was to stack a few more buff layers!

The woodcutter watched from the cloud platform; he knew the special nature of the Shattered Moon Immortal Sword, secretly chuckling at this kid's cunning.

"Why do you say we are arch-enemies? What you cultivate is the Yin-Yang Dao?" Xiao Feng asked her.

Xun Shuang Xianzi floated at a height of one meter above the ground and lightly replied: "I cultivate the Primordial Scripture, a supreme wondrous law naturally born at the dawn of creation, containing the ultimate truths of the universe, capable of dividing into chaos, void, ages, stars, yin-yang, and all beings—six great Daos. What you cultivate, the Ninefold Heavenly Dao, is merely a fragmentary chapter later people compiled by referencing the Primordial Scripture."

Her tone was a bit arrogant.

Xiao Feng felt a bit dazed.

She actually saw through that he had received the inheritance of the Ninefold Heavenly Dao!

Moreover, she said the Ninefold Heavenly Dao is merely a defective product!

Just what background does this woman have?

"The Primordial Scripture" and the "Book of Origins" are clearly not the same thing, ah, and the "primordial divine power" and "source-attribute divine power" she mentions are also different!

"So……which chapter have you cultivated to?" Xiao Feng asked her.

She replied: "I have some insight into the Star Dao and Ages Dao, while the Yin-Yang Dao has reached great completion."

The Star Dao and Ages Dao, both of which are relatively late-stage existences within the Ninefold Heavenly Dao, she has also entered the door of.

The Star Dao symbolizes boundless mana, causing power to surge, and there will never be a time when mana runs out.

While the Ages Dao……is the cosmic law overseen by Chen Jie, controlling the flow of time, or allowing time to reverse or jump.

Add a fully accomplished Yin-Yang Dao……this Fairy Maiden is truly outrageously strong!

Xiao Feng felt for the first time in his life that he seemed about to be defeated.

Facing such a powerhouse, wanting to win is as difficult as climbing to heaven!

Moreover……she also has a special physique, with damage reduction also outrageously high!

Thoughts racing, Xiao Feng's mood complex, he suddenly showed a wry smile.

"What are you laughing at?" Xun Shuang Xianzi's brows beneath the clouds furrowed slightly.

Xiao Feng helplessly self-mocked: "In the past, when I encountered some special powerhouses, I often said they were inferior versions of me. Today, upon seeing you, I suddenly realized I might be the inferior version of you."

Xun Shuang Xianzi remained silent, seemingly finding that remark ridiculous.

Xiao Feng continued: "However, there is still a difference. You are the shield, I am the spear, just as you said—we are fated enemies!"

Make sure to keep quotes? The Chinese includes quotes. We can translate with quotes. Keep as single line.

He had already vaguely guessed that Xianzi Xun Shuang's constitution might be the defensive version of a ten‑thousand‑fold amplification—a ten‑thousand‑fold damage reduction!

"He had vaguely guessed that Xun Shuang Xianzi's physique might be the defense version of the Ten Thousand Times amplification—Ten Thousand Times damage reduction!"

We need to use Ten Thousand Times exactly. Also "Xun Shuang Xianzi". The dash maybe em dash. We'll translate as "—". Keep.

Otherwise, with his clone's million‑fold amplification effect, he would inevitably be able to injure her.

Otherwise, with his clone's hundred‑million‑fold amplification effect, he would surely be able to wound her.

We'll output: "Otherwise, with his clone's hundred‑million‑fold amplification effect, it would be impossible for him not to hurt her!"

With this defensive talent bolstered, plus her already formidable cultivation and enlightenment effect, she is naturally invincible among her peers and can contend with Golden Immortal‑level experts.

"With this defensive talent bolstered, plus her already formidable cultivation and Enlightenment effect, she can naturally be invincible among peers and contend with Golden Immortal‑level experts."

We need to use Enlightenment exactly as term. Also "Golden Immortal" maybe "Golden Immortal". Should we translate? The glossary didn't list Golden Immortal, but it's a cultivation realm; we should translate by meaning: Golden Immortal. Keep.

One is defense, the other offense—this is precisely a spear and a shield.

"One defense, one offense—exactly a spear and a shield."

Now that we've met, we must decide who is superior!

"Having met today, we must determine superiority!"

The 120 layers of endurance are fully stacked, and Xiao Feng doesn't want to waste any more time.

"120 layers of endurance have already been stacked to the max; Xiao Feng also doesn't want to keep dragging time."

But "endurance" maybe "patience" or "endurance". Keep as "endurance". "already fully stacked" = already fully stacked. So: "The 120 layers of endurance have already been fully stacked, and Xiao Feng also doesn't want to continue delaying."

Xianzi Xun Shuang wants him to strike first; then he will go all out to see whether the spear's edge is sharper or the shield's sturdier.

"Xun Shuang Xianzi wants him to make the first move; then he will go all out to see whether the spear's edge is sharper or the shield sturdier!"

Clang!

Clang!

The Broken Moon Immortal Sword, imbued with 120 layers of buff and the killing calamity's murderous aura from its sheath, is drawn with fierce force.

Po Yue Xian Jie? Actually "Broken Moon Immortal Sword" is "Po Yue Xian Sword"? Let's translate: "Broken Moon Immortal Sword". The glossary didn't have it, but we translate meaning. So: "The Broken Moon Immortal Sword, carrying 120 layers of buff and the killing calamity's murderous aura from its sheath, is drawn with fierce force."

We need to keep "buff" as is? It's an English term used in Chinese; we keep as "buff". Also "killing calamity" maybe "killing calamity". We'll translate as "killing calamity". So: "The Broken Moon Immortal Sword, bearing 120 layers of buff and the killing calamity's murderous aura from its sheath, is drawn with fierce force."

At this moment, boundless sword intent envelops the entire Sword Discussion Peak plaza; that sharp aura makes many Yunchu Shan disciples furrow their brows.

"At this moment, boundless sword intent envelops the entire Sword Discussion Peak plaza; that sharp aura causes many Yunchu Shan disciples to frown deeply."

We need to use Yunchu Shan exactly as given. Also "Sword Discussion Peak" maybe "Sword Discussion Peak". We'll translate.

Even Daoist Wuchen, a Golden Immortal, couldn't help but be moved, exclaiming: "Among the Ten Famous Swords, the Broken Moon, in his hands, can actually unleash such formidable power!"

"Even the Golden Immortal‑level Daoist Wuchen cannot help but be moved, exclaiming: 'Among the Ten Famous Swords, the Broken Moon, in his hands, can actually unleash such formidable might!'"

We need to keep "Daoist Wuchen" as a name? It's a title: "Daoist Wuchen". Not in glossary but we should translate meaning: "Daoist Wuchen". Since it's a person's name? It's a title used as name? It's a monk/person. We'll translate as "Daoist Wuchen". Also "Golden Immortal" = Golden Immortal.

Woodcutter chuckled: "Of course not; the successor my old friend and I selected could never be ordinary. Just watch—even if he can't defeat your Xianzi Xun Shuang, he will surely wound her. Today, we Twelve Heavens are destined to raise our heads on your Di Pan."

"Woodcutter smiled faintly: 'Of course not; the successor my old friend and I selected could never be ordinary. Watch—even if he can't defeat your Xun Shuang Xianzi, he will surely wound her. Today we twelve heavens are destined to raise our heads and let out a cry of triumph on your turf!'"

Daoist Wuchen chuckled: "Old fogey, you're really unwilling to give up… Even if you get your wish, the two of you don't amount to a single hair in front of my senior sister."

"Daoist Wuchen chuckled lightly: 'Old geezer, your thieving heart never dies… Even if you get your wish, the two of you, in front of my senior sister, don't even count as a single hair.'"

We need to keep "Daoist Wuchen" as "Daoist Wuchen" (same as before). "senior sister" = "senior sister". We'll translate.

Woodcutter: ……

"Woodcutter: ……"

Old Fisherman: ……
