Chapter 496

"This Young Sect Master Lu is a formidable enemy." Bai Ming and the others had solemn expressions, staring at Young Sect Master Lu, who was showing off on the arena, and became vigilant.

"Not easy to deal with." Yan Tianzhi also felt the pressure from Young Sect Master Lu, which came not only from Young Sect Master Lu himself, but also from the pressure of the Heavenly Court Sect.

The attitude of the five immortal sects and the imperial court was enough to show what a powerful force the Heavenly Court Sect was.

Lan Ting's eyes were filled with confusion; she always felt that Young Sect Master Lu's style was very similar to someone she was familiar with.

Lu Yang's opponents were two people: one was Mo Wenli, a true disciple from the first-rate sect, the Thunder Fire Sect, and the other was Su Mo, who was known as an unparalleled genius among rogue cultivators. They looked at Lu Yang's relaxed and comfortable appearance, and cold sweat broke out on their foreheads.

"Don't hold back, attack together!" Su Mo said in a deep voice, directing Mo Wenli. With his pride, joining forces was a humiliation, but the opponent was Young Sect Master Lu of the Heavenly Court Sect. If he wanted to win this round, he had to put aside his pride.

Mo Wenli frowned. A guy who was touted as a genius by rogue cultivators, what right did he have to direct him?

"If you want to win, listen to me!" Su Mo frowned, feeling that this junior really didn't know what was good for him, his presence imposing without anger.

Mo Wenli shivered, frightened by Su Mo.

He seemed to see the image of his master in Su Mo.

"You'd better have a way." Mo Wenli reluctantly accepted Su Mo's direction.

Seeing that Mo Wenli knew when to advance and when to retreat, Su Mo's expression softened slightly, and he transmitted his voice: "Military strategy says that delay leads to changes; end the battle quickly."

"Your thunder techniques should have already been practiced to the point of mastery. If sword techniques are the number one method of attack, then thunder techniques are the number two. I will first use the power of my Jin Dan to restrain the opponent, and you accumulate power in the back. Once the accumulation is complete, attack the opponent with all your might!"

"Okay, but are you sure your Jin Dan can restrain the opponent?"

Su Mo did not answer. He had scattered his cultivation to start over, and the "Swallowing-Extinction Jin Dan" he had painstakingly condensed could swallow the opponent's spiritual power. Anyone who encountered this situation would have a moment of panic.

In a Jin Dan stage battle, a moment of panic could decide the battle.

Su Mo's lower legs were straight, like an arrow, and he rushed in front of Young Sect Master Lu with a "whoosh." Just the speed he displayed already exceeded Mo Wenli's!

As soon as they clashed, Su Mo felt how tricky Young Sect Master Lu was. The opponent had rich combat experience and extremely strong adaptability; wanting to gain the upper hand based on experience was wishful thinking.

How could the opponent have such rich combat experience? This didn't look like it was cultivated from fighting those of the same level, but more like it was practiced from fighting people with higher cultivation bases than him, and there was more than one person.

That's right, the opponent was the Young Sect Master of the Heavenly Court Sect; he must have had experts feeding him moves, which was why he had accumulated such terrifying combat experience.

But so what? His goal was to restrain, and being able to restrain was enough!

"Swallow and Extinguish!"

Su Mo recited silently in his heart, summoning his Jin Dan. The Swallowing-Extinction Jin Dan rotated crazily, and every time it made physical contact with Young Sect Master Lu, it could plunder the spiritual power from his body.

This move was always effective.

Unexpectedly, just as he mobilized his Jin Dan, he saw Young Sect Master Lu open his mouth slightly, not knowing what he was going to do.

Soon Su Mo revealed the answer: he was swallowing the opponent's spiritual power, and the opponent was also swallowing his spiritual power. Both sides reached a delicate state of balance!

How could this be possible!

Could it be that the opponent also had a Swallowing-Extinction Jin Dan?!

Su Mo gritted his teeth; things had reached this point, and he couldn't care about so much anymore. He felt the magnificent thunder and lightning power behind him; it was Mo Wenli's thunder technique accumulation complete!

"Get out of the way!"

Mo Wenli gritted his teeth. The thunder and lightning power was too heavy; he was already struggling just to hold it, his arms trembling.

Su Mo hurriedly dodged, and a powerful thunder and lightning force exploded behind him, with light splashing everywhere, silver snakes dancing wildly, and energy surging.

The silver snake lightning swallowed Young Sect Master Lu.

Before Su Mo and Mo Wenli could be happy, they heard a "chi" sound, and a sword light flashed, splitting the lightning ball in two.

The lightning ball exploded, and the figure holding the sword walked out of the explosion, relaxed and comfortable.

"The power is not bad, but it's a pity the force is too scattered. If it could be concentrated at one point, I'm afraid I would have to suffer a bit." Young Sect Master Lu commented casually on Mo Wenli's thunder technique.

This Young Sect Master Lu was a sword cultivator with the number one offensive power!

Just as Mo Wenli was stunned, Su Mo reacted first and dodged violently. There was no chance to be stunned on the battlefield!

He had just wanted to remind Mo Wenli when he saw another sword light flash, and Mo Wenli had already fallen off the stage.

"Solve one first."

The tip of the sword scraped across the arena covered with stone chips, making an irregular sound that made Su Mo's hair stand on end.

Soon Su Mo became angry. He was a dignified great cultivator who had scattered his cultivation to start over, with two thousand years of cultivation experience. When he was about to climb to a higher peak, how could he be prey to be slaughtered?

He wanted to let the opponent know how terrifying a great cultivator who had scattered his cultivation to start over could be when he got ruthless!

"Winner, Heavenly Court Sect."

The referee announced the result of the match.

On the arena, Young Sect Master Lu put away his sword, his posture upright and extremely elegant, and he looked up at the judges' table: "How is it? Am I qualified to continue participating in the competition?"

"This Sect Master keeps his word; you can continue to participate in the competition."

"However, this Sect Master has a question."

"Sect Master Lu, please ask."

"Just now, Su Mo used the Swallowing-Extinction Jin Dan to swallow your spiritual power, and you were also swallowing his spiritual power. Could it be that you used the most ancient and original one of the Taotie clan's innate divine abilities—'Swallowing Heaven and Devouring Earth'?"

Young Sect Master Lu looked at Sect Master Lu in surprise, not expecting to be recognized by the other party.

"Sect Master Lu has good eyes."

"What is the difference between the most ancient 'Swallowing Heaven and Devouring Earth' and the current one?" Qiu Jinan asked at the right time.

Young Sect Master Lu did not answer; he was waiting for Sect Master Lu's answer.

Sect Master Lu said in a deep voice that the whole audience could hear: "You should know that I have also practiced 'Swallowing Heaven and Devouring Earth.' In the process of learning, I found a secret of the Taotie clan."

"In the ancient times, the Taotie clan was extremely cruel. Demonic beasts fed on living creatures; this is instinct. But the Taotie clan was not like this. They never did the act of swallowing living creatures; they swallowed the spiritual power of the world, feeding on the earth and stars, so they were called the fierce beasts of heaven and the fierce beasts of earth!"

"How did they manage to swallow spiritual power and the earth? It was by relying on the most ancient 'Swallowing Heaven and Devouring Earth'!"

"The most original 'Swallowing Heaven and Devouring Earth' was too cruel and was attacked by all clans. Under pressure, the Taotie clan changed 'Swallowing Heaven and Devouring Earth' to its current appearance. Although it claims to swallow everything, its power is actually far less than before!"

Sect Master Lu continued: "Even in the current Taotie clan, no one knows the most ancient 'Swallowing Heaven and Devouring Earth.' Unexpectedly, Young Sect Master Lu knows how to use this move. It seems the legend is not false; the Heavenly Court is truly the number one major force of antiquity."

Hearing this, the people off the stage gasped, not expecting the Taotie clan to have such secrets.

In the spiritual space, the Decayed Fairy excitedly wiggled her little feet, her pink, pearl-like toes moving one by one.

"How was it, how was it? Did I act well?"

"Good, it's exactly this feeling!"

The second update is at eleven o'clock.
