After fighting with her for dozens of rounds, Lin Aoxue stopped confronting Ji Chunling head-on.
You can't use your own weaknesses to challenge other people's strengths.
"This woman's physical strength seems to be stronger than others. Could it be that she has also cultivated some physical strength? No, I can't fight her head-on. I have to change my fighting style." After thinking for a while, Lin Aoxue decided to change her fighting style.
"Cloud Shadow Clone Technique." Lin Aoxue used the Yun Sect's clone technique.
She used the clone technique to confuse Ji Chunling's vision. Sure enough, Ji Chunling's fighting rhythm was forced to slow down because she needed to judge which one was the real one. If she couldn't judge who was the real one, she would suffer.
"What a smart girl! She knew she couldn't be led by me and changed her fighting style immediately." Ji Chunling immediately made hand seals after looking at the clones that were attacking from all sides.
"Thunder Technique·Thunder Walk." As soon as this move was used, thunder beasts flew out from Ji Chunling's body, and the thunder beasts pounced on Lin Aoxue's clone like clones.
In this way, it is easy to judge who is the real body, but the battle rhythm has to be paused.
As one thunder beast after another pounced on Lin Aoxue's clones, all the clones were soon wiped out.
"Eh? None of them are real."
"Not good." Ji Chunling felt a large amount of magic power falling on her head, and she immediately relied on her swift body movements to leave the spot.
And a large amount of green sword lights shot down from the sky.
The sword light was like rain, forcing Ji Chunling to retreat continuously, and the rhythm began to be controlled by Lin Aoxue.
But Ji Chunling was extremely strong. After hiding for a while, she saw that Lin Aoxue had not stopped using the sword technique. She did not want to be drained of her physical energy by Lin Aoxue, so she stopped her body, condensed lightning into thunder armor, and her hands were completely covered by the armor. She swung her fists quickly to shatter the sword lights falling from the sky one by one.
Because Ji Chunling practiced both magic and physical cultivation, she had the upper hand in endurance. She mainly used physical attacks, supplemented by lightning magic. She did not consume much magic power, but mainly consumed physical energy. Most of her magic power was used to maintain her strength and physical strength.
——————————————————————————————————————————
"Wind Intention Art: Soul-Slaying Style." Lin Aoxue used the Yunxia Sect's method.
A burst of sword light gathered in his hand and was thrown towards Ji Chunling.
Ji Chunling looked at the sword lights mixed with an exploding sword light, her face changed, and she could no longer dodge.
"Little girl, are you pretty powerful?" Ji Chunling quickly used the power of thunder and lightning to condense a thunder shield, blocking it above her head and withstanding the exploding sword light.
The sword light accurately fell on Ji Chunling's thunder shield. The heavy pressure made Ji Chunling feel a little uncomfortable, but Ji Chunling still used force to push the sword light away.
But this one move consumed a lot of his physical energy.
The fight between the two lasted much longer than the previous ones. Five minutes passed quickly and the two were still attacking each other without stopping.
It seems that it will be difficult to determine the winner in a short period of time.
"If Lin Aoxue doesn't use that secret method of soul attack, it will be difficult for her to defeat Ji Chunling and others. However, Ji Chunling has already cultivated a part of her physical body and is very strong in close combat. It is very rare for Lin Aoxue to fight with her for such a long time without being defeated." said the elder of Youyun Sect.
"Indeed, but Lin Aoxue should not have used his full strength. He is currently using almost all conventional sword techniques and sword skills to attack. But Ji Chunling, this girl, seems to have exerted the strength she can currently use to the limit. If she continues to consume it, Ji Chunling's body will not be able to bear it." Fang Mingyu said.
The master of Leiyun Peak had been observing the situation of his disciples. He also saw that Ji Chunling was indeed approaching the limit of her strength, but Lin Aoxue had not.
You can tell from the instability of their auras.
Ji Chunling also knew that she couldn't hold on for much longer, so she wanted to decide the outcome with one move. This way, she could also see who was stronger, her or Lin Aoxue, when two people of the same level attacked with all their strength.
"Hahaha, so exciting. I haven't played like this for a long time. It's more fun to fight like this. However, Junior Sister Lin, I know you are conserving your strength. I don't think it's necessary. I admit that you are stronger than any of us in a battle at the same level. However, the fight between cultivators is not just a contest of mana and combat experience." Ji Chunling used both hands to drive the electric current, and another series of lightning spread towards Lin Aoxue.
Lin Aoxue understood what Ji Chunling meant, so she flew over and cut off the lightning with a sword, then floated into the air, looking down at Ji Chunling.
"Since Senior Sister Ji has already seen through it, I won't hide it. Let's decide the outcome with one move. We've wasted too much time. I actually have other things to do." Lin Aoxue rarely smiled.
There weren't many people who could make her smile.
When Ji Chunling heard this, she became more eager to fight, and the power of thunder and lightning in her body began to explode, increasing her strength to the extreme at this moment.
"Okay, then let's decide the outcome with one move." The lightning on Ji Chunling's body began to condense, and soon a snarling thunder dragon formed behind her.
Lin Aoxue raised the sword in her hand, and a dazzling green light burst out from her body, which also brought with it a storm.
Because it is not a life-and-death fight, they certainly cannot use the power of the Dao Palace. Consuming the power of the Dao Palace will cause certain damage. The Nanling Festival is coming soon, so if they have any abilities, they should go to the Nanling Festival to show them.
"Thunder Dragon breaks through the nine heavens, go."
Ji Chunling shouted angrily, waved her hands, and then pushed hard, releasing the thunder that gathered 90% of her current strength.
"Roar..." Lei Dong let out a majestic roar and pounced towards Lin Aoxue with a series of falling lightning.
Thunder magic is about opening and closing greatly, which has the effect of shocking all spirits.
Although this attack was an explosion of power from the first level of the Dao Palace, its power was definitely enough to deal with an ordinary second level Dao Palace cultivator, so it could be considered to have reached the power of the second level of the Dao Palace.
"One sword, open the gate of heaven and cut it."
Lin Aoxue also used the strongest sword move she had learned so far.
The two of them gathered their strength and released it at the same time.
Ji Chunling's Thunder Dragon and Lin Aoxue's sword light collided violently, and the terrifying aftermath of the magic power made the two people's clothes and hair flutter.
The battlefield was covered in white, making it impossible to look directly at it.
Ji Chunling's head-on fighting style is sometimes an advantage, but sometimes it is also a disadvantage, such as the current disadvantage.
When the two powerful moves collided, Ji Chunling began to feel the pressure.
"Such a strong wind power that even overwhelms my thunder power? It seems that the purity of her spiritual root is purer than my thunder spiritual root." Ji Chunling's body was forced to slide backwards continuously and she couldn't keep her body steady.
But her Thunder Dragon also bit the sword light tightly, preventing it from falling.
Soon, cracks began to appear on the body of the thunder dragon condensed from lightning, and it was obvious that it could not win.
After holding on for more than ten seconds, Ji Chunling's Thunder Dragon was completely shattered, and Lin Aoxue's sword light fell straight towards Ji Chunling.
"There is a flaw." Ji Chunling was not afraid when she saw that her magic was defeated. Instead, she noticed a gap in Lin Aoxue's sword light, so she advanced instead of retreating.
She roared angrily, and her hands were filled with lightning. She grabbed the broken part of the sword light, and then used the last ten percent of her strength to perform the last thunder magic.
"Thunder shakes the eight wastelands, break." Ji Chunling gathered all the power of thunder and lightning in her body into her hands, and then she squeezed them, and finally she crushed the sword light.
The sword light exploded, and there was a burst of explosive roar.
"Boom."
The power of the magic explosion directly submerged Ji Chunling.
Lin Aoxue in the sky was also forced to retreat a distance by the aftermath of the magic power.
Ji Chunling slid out of the aftermath of the explosion. The power of thunder and lightning on her body dissipated, and a burnt smoke filled her clothes. There were traces of scratches from the power of wind on her hands and face.
"Oh! It seems that I still can't win." Ji Chunling said helplessly while half-kneeling on the ground looking at Lin Aoxue in the sky.
Lin Aoxue was only knocked back a distance and was not affected much, but Ji Chunling had been injured by the force of the explosion. From the perspective of the competition, she had already lost.
The purpose of a competition is to see who gets hurt first. The most important thing is that Ji Chunling has no strength in her heart. If she wants to use strength, she will have to mobilize the power that has been temporarily sealed by herself. Therefore, even if she is not injured, she will definitely lose.
"Sister Ji, thank you for letting me." Lin Aoxue fell from the sky and said.
Ji Chunling sighed.
"Wow! That's awesome. With your age and ability, you will shine at the Nanling event. I have no doubt about that. I hope one day we can play again without any restrictions. Today was not very exciting." Ji Chunling took a deep breath and then stood up.
Lin Aoxue smiled slightly.
"No problem. If there is a chance someday, we can have a fight."
Having said that, Ji Chunling untied the seal on her body, and brutal power emanated from her, and the feeling of weakness in her body disappeared.
"Goodbye." Ji Chunling left a word, turned into a bolt of lightning, and returned to Leiyun Peak. Although she was defeated, it was still a bit embarrassing to lose to a newcomer in front of so many people, so naturally she was unwilling to stay here any longer.
Lin Aoxue also glanced at the people outside the battlefield, then also flew up and flew towards the Bixia Valley where Ye Liuyun was.
The top leaders of Yun Sect were completely relieved.
"Ah! Don't worry, Lin Aoxue will definitely be noticed by the Supreme Induction Sect. You should go back and comfort your own disciples. Don't let them lose their faith in the Tao because of failure." Fang Mingyu said to the Lord of the Five Peaks.
In this way, Lin Aoxue’s first battle to be promoted to the Dao Palace ended.
Lin Aoxue came to Bixia Valley as soon as possible, but when she got here, she found that Ye Liuyun was not in the valley, because she touched the formation several times but no one responded.
"Strange, isn't he in the valley? Where did he go?" Lin Aoxue quickly took out his identity token and called Ye Liuyun.
As for Ye Liuyun, he was still looking for prey in the islands of Bi Hai Lake.
When Ye Liuyun suddenly received the news from Lin Aoxue, she knew that it must be Lin Aoxue who broke through the Dao Palace and came to find her.
Sure enough, it was Lin Aoxue who asked her where she was.
Ye Liuyun also responded immediately.
"Ah? He went off to gain experience? Why did this guy suddenly become so hardworking? Has he changed his personality?" After Lin Aoxue learned of Ye Liuyun's location, she hurried back to the main peak and looked for the great elder.
Naturally, she asked the Great Elder about the location of the floating islands in the blue sea. The Great Elder directly gave Lin Aoxue a map of the Yunhai Mountains and told her to follow the map.
"Aoxue, the sect master and others want to see you." When Lin Aoxue was about to leave, the great elder suddenly spoke.
But Lin Aoxue was busy meeting Ye Liuyun, so she left after leaving a word.
"Let's talk about it after I come back. The Sect Master shouldn't be in a hurry."
The Great Elder smiled helplessly. They were indeed not in a hurry. After all, there was still some time before the Nanling event. They just wanted to tell Lin Aoxue about the sect conference.
Lin Aoxue quickly flew out of the range of Yunzong and headed towards the floating islands in the blue sea.
But Ye Liuyun was in trouble again. The man named Tan brought his helper, a core disciple from Qingyun Peak.
Chapter 279: Escape to the Bottom of the Lake (5000 words)
Ye Liuyun was just about to run from Island No. 8 to Island No. 9, but when he reached the lake between the two islands, suddenly, five flying swords shot down from the sky. The flying swords formed a sword formation and surrounded Ye Liuyun.
"Small Five Elements Sword Formation."
Ye Liuyun glanced around, then looked up helplessly.
"Oh! It's so difficult, but I still came." Ye Liuyun said weakly as he looked at the people floating above his head.
The world of cultivation is full of troubles. Unless you hide at home and don’t come out, you will definitely run into trouble once you have a conflict of interest with others.
You have to know that even brothers and parents and children can fall out due to conflicts of interest, not to mention the sects in the cultivation world where there is no emotional foundation.
Although she knew that the people who ran away would definitely ask for help, she didn't expect them to come so soon. It had only been a short time, and they were not willing to wait even for that little bit of time.
"You guys from Caiyun Peak, where are you going? You stole our Qingyun Peak's prey. I just told you that this matter will not end so easily." The man surnamed Tan led a dozen people and appeared above Ye Liuyun's head.
From what this guy said and his eyes, it can be seen that he must have told the reinforcements that Ye Liuyun had stolen their prey. After all, you have to have a legitimate reason to ask someone for help.
Not everyone is willing to help the evil.
The helper he found was named Lu Zhan, a core disciple of Qingyun Peak and at the peak of the third level of Dao Palace. He was considered one of the strongest disciples among the second-tier disciples of Yun Sect.
This man looked to be about twenty-five or twenty-six years old, with a sword box on his back. It was he who used the flying sword formation to stop Ye Liuyun.
"It was this junior sister who defeated the six of you and snatched your blue-armored sand crab? Tan Tong, are you sure you are not kidding me?" Lu Zhan immediately became unhappy when he saw that Ye Liuyun was only in the early stage of Lingxi Realm.
He felt that Tan Tong was making fun of him. How could a small Lingxi realm early stage person defeat a Dao Palace second level person and five Dao Palace first level people? Is this possible?
"Brother Lu, don't be fooled by her superficial appearance. This woman has extremely strong physical strength, and she also has a sword that can easily cut off our spiritual weapons. Look, let me try to show you." Tan Tong explained, and immediately made a sword gesture with his hand, and sword lights fell towards Ye Liuyun.
As he was blocked on all sides, Ye Liuyu did not have much space to dodge. He could only gather his internal energy, strengthen his body, and take the opponent's magical sword light.
Tan Tong's sword light caused waves in the water where Ye Liuyun was, but after the waves passed, Ye Liuyun was standing there unharmed, without any harm at all.
With just this one strike, Tan Tong was able to prove to Lu Zhan what he said.
"Senior Brother Lu, you saw it, I am a cultivator in the middle stage of the Jindan realm in the Dao Palace, but I can't hurt her at all. This is the Lingxi realm?" Tan Tong pointed at Ye Liuyun in the formation and said with a twitching face.
Lu Zhan already understood, so he flew towards Ye Liuyun. When he observed Ye Liuyun closely, he saw that Ye Liuyun was a female monk with an extremely gentle and beautiful appearance, and he immediately felt pity for her. He was influenced by Ye Liuyun's appearance.
To put it bluntly, when seeing a beautiful woman, people are unwilling to take action. For most men, a woman's beauty has a damage-reducing effect.
"Junior sister, I am Lu Zhan, a core disciple of Qingyun Peak. My junior brothers said that you stole their prey and injured one of my junior brothers from Qingyun Peak. Is this true?" Lu Zhan looked at Ye Liuyun and asked.
When Ye Liuyun saw Lu Zhan asking questions, he reached out and patted the water off his body, then glanced at Tan Tong and the others.
"Senior brother, if I say that they were trying to steal my prey and I taught them a lesson, would you believe it?" Ye Liuyun smiled indifferently.
When Lu Zhan heard this, he immediately glanced at Tan Tong and the others.
When these people heard Ye Liuyun say this, they naturally couldn't admit it.
"Brother Lu, don't believe this woman's lies. We were the first to find the blue-armored sand crab. Just as we were about to kill it, this woman suddenly appeared and attacked the blue-armored sand crab. But in the end, we killed the blue-armored sand crab. But she insisted that she discovered it first and then fought with us." Tan Tong argued cunningly.
The other people also quickly responded to Tan Tong's words.
