Chapter 214: Clouds Rise and Fall

"Jiang Jin—"

At the top of Tiefeng Mountain, more than three hundred meters in the air, "Saber King" Gu Xianfeng, who was being besieged by four magic tools, suddenly roared loudly:

"Why?!!"

Gu Xianfeng questioned loudly, wanting to know why.

Why did Governor Bian Jingru choose to abandon him, a Martial Arts Master who possessed an important tactical position?

"Sigh."

At the foot of the mountain, Jiang Jin, who was closing his eyes to remotely control the flying sword, sighed, not answering Gu Xianfeng's question.

The mortal world is like a tide; under the general situation, even if you are a Martial Arts Master, you can only be drowned by the tide!

"Gu Xianfeng, you dare to be distracted while fighting me?"

At the top of the mountain, Xu Jing's voice rang out.

As his voice fell, Gu Xianfeng suddenly plummeted downward!

Falling for over a hundred meters, Gu Xianfeng finally stabilized his figure.

Just now, taking advantage of his distraction, Xu Jing used his water-control supernatural ability to influence the clouds and mist around him, forcibly dragging him down a distance!

Now the two had entered a stalemate stage again.

In the last fight, Gu Xianfeng was unwilling to compete in consumption with Xu Jing, so he took the initiative to land and fight Xu Jing.

This time, Gu Xianfeng was in the air and simultaneously besieged by four Possession Realm Great Mages, located within the great formation, and the consumption would only be greater.

If he continued to fight Xu Jing, the one who lost would definitely be him.

Gu Xianfeng looked at the sky above his head unwillingly, suddenly descending from the sky, falling rapidly with a large amount of blue cloud Qi, crashing toward Xu Jing.

"Good, no one intervene!"

Xu Jing laughed loudly and leaped violently into the air.

Under his feet were the black bricks and tiles of the great hall's roof; these bricks and tiles turned into powder one by one, and the roof of the great hall was completely trampled and collapsed!

Xu Jing transformed into a dark blue shooting star and flew into the air; wherever he passed, the air froze, and countless frost danced.

Gu Xianfeng's body was surging with clouds, turning into a blue wave, as if pulling the cloud sea from the nine heavens down to the human world!

Two Martial Arts Masters collided on the line.

Boom—

With the point of their collision as the center, a visible "mirror surface" spread to the surroundings, and the fierce wind blew the trees on the mountain peak thousands of meters away, making them rustle!

The next second, Xu Jing fell from the air and crashed into the great hall below where Gu Xianfeng had secluded himself.

Seeing this scene, the Tiefeng Sect disciples who had already surrendered and given up resistance all had their eyes light up, revealing expectant gazes.

Rumble—

The great hall where Xu Jing crashed collapsed with a boom; bricks, tiles, rubble, and broken wood flew everywhere, and dust filled the sky.

"Hahahahaha—"

Xu Jing's wild laughter came from the ruins.

The next second, a saber light carrying a sea of clouds descended from the sky, slashing onto the ruins.

Boom!!!!

The earth shook.

The blue cloud Qi wrapped the space of several hundred meters around it, and sounds of thunder kept coming from inside, and the earth shook again and again!

Two hundred Imperial Camp Army soldiers guarded the perimeter, having formed a military formation in advance, with powerful Military Sha held but not released.

If they joined forces to urge the Military Sha, it would be enough to threaten a Martial Arts Master, so they were responsible for suppressing the formation in this battle.

Once Xu Jing was no match for Gu Xianfeng, or Gu Xianfeng intended to escape, they would have to take action.

At the foot of the mountain, Jiang Jin was sensing the situation of the two Martial Arts Masters fighting through his flying sword.

In his perception, the top of Tiefeng Mountain seemed to have two fierce little suns colliding again and again!

Martial Arts Masters, martial arts reaching the divine, every move is a perfect combination of "Essence," "Qi," and "Spirit." For magic tools that have not generated a true spirit, it is like a furnace to ice and snow.

So Jiang Jin simply couldn't "see" clearly the specific situation of Gu Xianfeng and Xu Jing fighting.

This made him somewhat worried.

Defeating a Martial Arts Master and killing a Martial Arts Master are two completely different levels of difficulty; even if Xu Jing's supernatural ability just happened to restrain Gu Xianfeng's supernatural ability, Xu Jing could defeat Gu Xianfeng, but might not necessarily be able to kill Gu Xianfeng successfully.

Originally, when Governor Bian Jingru asked Wu'an University for help, he hoped that Wu'an University could dispatch two Martial Arts Masters to solve the Tiefeng Sect, but in the end, only Xu Jing came alone.

There was no way; the status of Wu'an University was too transcendent, and even Governor Bian Jingru, this Garrison Commander, couldn't forcibly order Wu'an University to do anything.

"This Xu Jing, is he so confident?"

Jiang Jin didn't dare to be careless and still maintained the Four Symbols Constellation Sealing.

If Gu Xianfeng escaped today, the consequences would be unimaginable!

At the top of Tiefeng Mountain, that large mass of cloud Qi began to move; as long as the buildings it covered were moved away, they would become ruins.

This mass of cloud Qi was like a terrifying fierce beast, crushing everything and swallowing it all.

The Cloud Treading supernatural ability seems to only be able to carry people to fly, but in fact, the clouds and mist themselves contain extremely powerful power.

Gu Xianfeng was known as the "Saber King" and had long combined saber techniques with the Cloud Treading supernatural ability, which could turn clouds and mist into saber blades to slash at enemies.

So being in the range covered by clouds and mist is like having countless sabers around you that will slash at you at any time!

This was originally a terrifying ability, but unfortunately, it was useless against Xu Jing.

These clouds and mist all contained moisture, and Xu Jing could directly influence the clouds and mist themselves through the water-control supernatural ability, so being in the clouds and mist was like being on his home turf!

In the clouds and mist, Gu Xianfeng slashed at Xu Jing with his saber, and the surrounding clouds and mist turned into saber blades, slashing at Xu Jing from all directions at the same time.

However, these clouds and mist, which were originally extremely sharp, became soft again when they touched Xu Jing's body, losing all their power.

Xu Jing dodged Gu Xianfeng's slash sideways and pressed his palm onto the other party's saber blade.

The next second, the layer of clouds and mist on Gu Xianfeng's saber blade was frozen, and with a shake of Xu Jing's palm, it shattered with a boom.

In the last fight, Gu Xianfeng intended to hold back and eventually lost to Xu Jing.

This time he no longer held back and fully released his power.

However, he discovered in despair that Xu Jing had also held back last time.

Gu Xianfeng had been famous for many years and became a Martial Arts Master more than a decade ago, while Xu Jing should have broken through in the last year or two.

Normally, Gu Xianfeng's foundation and accumulation should be much deeper than Xu Jing's, but in this competition of supernatural abilities, he hadn't been able to win against Xu Jing.

After the two fought for over ten minutes, Gu Xianfeng had fallen into a comprehensive disadvantage!

"Since you call yourself 'Saber King,' then I will kill you with a saber."

Xu Jing suddenly said.

Then he waved one hand, and a blue cloud Qi that originally belonged to Gu Xianfeng suddenly broke away from his control, turning into a saber blade that he held in his hand.

At this moment, Gu Xianfeng's black outer robe had completely shattered, and the protective clothing he wore inside had also been torn apart for the most part, with many scars on his body.

His eyes remained calm and were not shaken by Xu Jing's words.

Even if he was at a disadvantage, he didn't feel that he had no chance of winning at all.

As long as he could defeat Xu Jing, he would have a chance to escape today.

Swish—

The next second, the clouds and mist between Gu Xianfeng and Xu Jing were shattered, and Xu Jing killed him with a saber!

The two turned into two afterimages, fighting crazily in the clouds and mist.

Saber light flickered continuously, and the peerless saber force completely mangled the clouds and mist, leaving deep gullies on the ground!

Suddenly, a saber light penetrated from the clouds and mist, and the powerful saber force cut through a corner of a great hall.

The next second, an entire wall of that great hall, along with the roof above, was cut open, the cut surface as smooth as a mirror.

Inside the clouds and mist, fresh blood splashed out from both Xu Jing and Gu Xianfeng.

Xu Jing chose a fighting style of trading wounds for wounds; with the powerful physique and vitality of the two, as long as the heart was not shattered or the head was not cut off directly, other injuries would not be fatal.

However, after fighting for a moment, Gu Xianfeng couldn't take it anymore, because every time a wound was slashed on his body, his fresh blood would be influenced by Xu Jing's water-control supernatural ability; even if it could only exert influence at the moment the saber blade swept past, it was enough to make Gu Xianfeng lose more blood.

Martial Arts Masters are also human, and losing too much blood can also kill you!

Purely in terms of saber techniques, Xu Jing was actually not as good as Gu Xianfeng.

But this fighting style of trading wounds for wounds was too disadvantageous for Gu Xianfeng.

Both had extraordinary abilities of self-healing, and they were both of the core level, so while fighting, the injuries on their bodies were also healing rapidly.

It was just that because Gu Xianfeng lost more blood, his consumption was greater than Xu Jing's.

After fighting for a while longer, Gu Xianfeng suddenly slashed at Xu Jing's head regardless of anything!

At this moment, Xu Jing also slashed at his head, and he attacked first, so normally, Gu Xianfeng would die first.

But the saber blade that Xu Jing condensed from clouds and mist suddenly slowed down when it was about to touch Gu Xianfeng.

It was because Gu Xianfeng had been silently "dropping" some clouds and mist onto this saber blade during the previous fight, thereby using the clouds and mist to exert influence on the saber body at a critical moment.

In a battle between experts, only a fraction of a second matters.

As long as Gu Xianfeng could make Xu Jing slow down by 0.1 seconds, he could achieve victory.

"Won!"

The long saber in his hand landed smoothly on Xu Jing's head, and Gu Xianfeng felt a joy in his heart.

However, the next instant, he felt that the power of his saber had slashed into a bottomless swamp, and he hadn't been able to cut open Xu Jing's head as he wished.

"You?!!"

Gu Xianfeng opened his eyes wide, looking incredulous.

Xu Jing looked at Gu Xianfeng with somewhat crazy eyes, the corners of his mouth curling up.

The saber blade condensed from clouds and mist in his hand suddenly exploded, and a large piece of black liquid enveloped Gu Xianfeng!

"How is it possible..."

Gu Xianfeng's final voice came from the clouds and mist.

A moment later, the blue clouds and mist gradually dissipated.

On the martial arts field a thousand meters away, hundreds of Tiefeng Sect disciples who had thrown away their weapons stared fixedly at this side.

When they saw the scene here clearly, someone suddenly knelt on both knees and cried bitterly.

On the earth were crisscrossing gullies, and the surroundings were a ruin.

On the ruins, Xu Jing held Gu Xianfeng's head in one hand, and the other party's headless corpse fell at his feet!

Xu Jing held Gu Xianfeng's head high and laughed loudly:

"Traitor Gu Xianfeng has been beheaded by me—"

The Four Symbols Constellation Sealing in the air dissipated, the sky became bright again, and the sunlight shone down.

The mortal world is like a tide, people are like water; how many in the Jianghu return?

That piece of blue cloud that successfully flew to the top of Datong Prefecture more than a decade ago fell today.

Seeking monthly tickets.
