Chapter 385 Swallowing Snow and Overlapping Waves, Lightning and Thunderous Roar
A clap of thunder burst forth, unleashing a myriad of brilliant rays of light. (Note 1)
As the ice melted and the snow dispersed, and the wind swept away the clouds, a look of surprise flashed across the face of the Hundred Swords Pavilion leader.
He stared at the veiled woman in white before him, thinking to himself: This lightning technique was truly excellent; its power was clearly greatly amplified by the mutated lightning spiritual root.
Could it be that she really is that junior surnamed Yu who is by Nangong Xue's side?
The sect leader's memories went back several years, and the memories gradually became clearer. Even if he didn't remember her name or appearance, he would not forget that the woman was a mutated lightning spirit root.
However, all of this plunged him into deep confusion.
Wasn't that woman surnamed Yu killed by the sea monsters back then? And how could she have become a Nascent Soul expert in such a short time when she was only at the Foundation Establishment stage?
Unless, she accidentally stumbled into a secret realm where the flow of time is drastically different from the outside world, dozens, even hundreds of times faster...
But the sect leader secretly shook his head, feeling that this was too absurd and almost impossible.
His brows furrowed tightly, and his eyes flashed with a sharp light, as if he wanted to see through the woman before him completely.
He increasingly felt that this veiled woman in white was not as simple as she appeared.
She deliberately used the identity of a woman surnamed Yu, probably for some other ulterior motive. He would never let her leave easily until he found out the truth.
The lightning moved with divine speed, causing all the cultivators in the market below to feel threatened. They stared fearfully at the woman's reflection in the water mirror. (Note 2)
Who could have imagined that her attack would be as devastating as a thunderbolt, almost like divine punishment!
The four Golden Core cultivators from the Hundred Swords Pavilion, who had been watching the battle from the sidelines, were now forced to retreat further and further away by the terrifying lightning.
Their faces were filled with shock, and the same thought arose in their minds: Is this what a Nascent Soul expert is like?
The sect leader's sword technique was indeed incredibly powerful, with sword intent soaring to the heavens. However, when she raised her hand, lightning flashed and thunder roared, and dragons leaped through the clouds, as if divine punishment had descended, enveloping the entire market in a sea of lightning.
The scene was so breathtaking that it left an indelible impression on them.
"What terrifying lightning!" One of the Golden Core cultivators, his face pale, muttered to himself, "The ferocity of this lightning is several times more terrifying than when I underwent the Forty-Nine Lightning Tribulation back then."
“We thought she would just keep dodging, but it turns out… she simply doesn’t care to attack us.” Another real person smiled bitterly, secretly relieved.
"Yes, fortunately this senior showed mercy and didn't hold it against us." The remaining two True Immortals were also still shaken. They exchanged a glance and saw the feeling of relief in each other's eyes.
If this senior hadn't intentionally held back, the four of them would probably have already turned to ashes and ceased to exist.
The slight anger and disdain I had felt earlier had long since vanished.
The sect leader gripped the longsword, its tip trembling slightly, emanating a chilling sword intent.
"Who exactly are you? Why are you impersonating someone else? If you don't give a reasonable explanation today, don't even think about leaving this Misty Cloud Island market!"
Before he finished speaking, the sect leader moved as if he had become one with the longsword in his hand.
He swung his sword suddenly, and a snow-white sword aura instantly burst forth from the tip of his sword. This sword aura was different from the previous fine, icy attacks; instead, it was like a monstrous wave, surging and surging, carrying the momentum to sweep away everything and devour all things, rushing towards Chu Lengyu.
This move was the second move of his Swallowing Snow and Overlapping Waves Sword technique, which he had practiced diligently for many years – Spraying Snow Waves.
This sword technique is like a line in the sea, with layers of silver waves churning like snow, roaring like mountains and waves rushing towards you! (Note 4)
Faced with this fierce and murderous sword strike, Chu Lengyu couldn't help but feel a sense of surprise.
That sword strike just now was merely a test by the sect leader, but now, the sect leader is truly taking it seriously.
This move is far more powerful than the previous one. The sword intent and chill contained within it are enough to kill any cultivator below the Nascent Soul stage on the spot.
The spiritual energy within her body surged like a raging river, and as it circulated rapidly, streams of lightning energy gathered around her.
The ball of lightning grew larger and larger, flashing with a dazzling blue light. She exclaimed softly, "Well done!"
With a push of both hands forward, the lightning ball shot out like an arrow, whistling through the air, and hurtled straight towards the sword energy with lightning speed.
The lightning ball and the sword energy collided in mid-air, instantly unleashing a deafening roar.
A thunderclap in the sky, a truly awe-inspiring sound.
Even with the protection of a third-tier array, it was to no avail, and the entire market town of Mixia Island was shaken.
The houses swayed, dust flew, and the cultivators barely managed to steady themselves, their eyes filled with fear as they looked toward the point of battle.
The lightning ball erupted with countless electric snakes upon impact, which roamed freely in the air, fiercely clashing with the icy power within the sword energy.
The thunder and the howling wind resonated together, as if the two most primal forces in the world were engaged in a fierce battle at this moment.
Upon seeing this, the sect leader's eyes flashed with surprise.
He hadn't expected that Chu Lengyu's lightning magic could actually contend with his sword energy, and even seemed to be gaining the upper hand!
This strength far exceeded his expectations.
However, despite his surprise, an even stronger fighting spirit surged within him.
Since advancing to the late Nascent Soul stage, he hadn't encountered an opponent like this in a long time. Only by forcing his opponent to reveal their true strength could he gain something from this contest.
"Wonderful!" the sect leader exclaimed sincerely, and the longsword in his hand swung once more according to his will.
This time, the sword energy was even more fierce, as if it had gathered the coldest energy between heaven and earth. The power of the spraying snow waves was brought to its extreme, like a white ribbon that cut through the sky and headed straight for Chu Lengyu.
Bolts of lightning descended from the sky, like a cascading thunder lake, carrying boundless power and forming a massive lightning storm that met the sect leader's sword energy head-on.
The sword flashed and the thunder roared, instantly turning the entire world into a frosty white.
The buildings in the market swayed precariously under the impact of this force, as if they would collapse at any moment.
The cultivators in the market felt a constant roar in their ears, as if a million war drums were beating at the same time, shaking their minds and making them almost kneel down.
Some cultivators with lower cultivation levels were so shocked by this powerful force that they coughed up blood and turned pale.
They watched the clash in the sky with horror, their hearts filled with awe at the strength of these two powerful figures.
Under the impact of the lightning storm, the sect leader's sword energy finally began to waver. The originally solid sword energy began to become illusory under the bombardment of lightning.
Chu Lengyu's lightning storm gradually dissipated due to the continuous cutting of the sword energy, turning into specks of lightning that vanished into the air.
The two fighters were evenly matched in their exchange of blows.
