Ch. 93 - Nine Thunder Scrolls Break the Stalemate

As the bright full moon rose, Xuan Tianwen's unease deepened.

In his sight, Ling Qingxue hadn't moved an inch, yet a vast chasm seemed to separate them.

The eerie atmosphere was unfathomable.

Boom!

The Thunder Overlord Spear, having shattered the Sword Dragon, continued its momentum, thrusting towards Ling Qingxue with a burst of ferocious lightning power.

As the lightning dissipated, Xuan Tianwen's pupils constricted sharply.

"She not only didn't dodge, but she's also completely unharmed?!"

This was utterly impossible!

The Thunder Overlord Spear was an advanced martial skill in the basic range; even a Third Rank peak martial artist would be severely injured after its use, let alone someone who was only a Second Rank late-stage.

If it had missed, it would be understandable, but it clearly hit!

Xuan Tianwen gripped the spear tightly, a fine layer of sweat beading on his forehead.

This time, he deeply regretted not having properly studied spirit formations. Facing the genius Spiritual Master Ling Qingxue, he was powerless, his attacks feeling like hitting cotton.

Boom! Boom! Boom!

Several consecutive lightning attacks were unleashed in all directions, shaking the entire virtual space.

His baffling attack tactics caused a commotion among the viewers in the live stream.

"Is Brother Tianwen holding back? No! My Brother Tianwen is definitely not that kind of person!"

"Holding back my foot! Didn't you see Lei Jiao being beaten down by Taotie? If Xuan Tianwen can't even beat Ling Qingxue, who's at the Second Rank late-stage, this competition is a joke!"

"Brother Yao, please explain! I completely don't understand their attack patterns!"

In the live stream, Brother Yao smiled meaningfully.

He zoomed in on Xuan Tianwen.

"Let me explain. The reason Xuan Tianwen wasted energy attacking in all directions was to verify the effectiveness of Ling Qingxue's spirit formation!

"His Thunder Overlord Spear clearly hit his opponent earlier, but it didn't deliver any damage. There are only two possibilities!"

Xiao Lu's beautiful eyes widened slightly. "Illusory body and visual distortion!"

Brother Yao's face showed appreciation.

His perception and combat experience were far superior to Xiao Lu's, so he could see it at a glance.

"That's right, illusory body and visual distortion!"

"But I want to tell everyone that Ling Qingxue's 'Tears of the Azure Moon' spirit formation has both these effects, and her previous Sword Intent attack was actually meant to buy her time to set up the formation!"

Xiao Lu frowned slightly, her eyes filled with confusion.

"But why did she choose to reveal her Sword Intent to buy time? Couldn't she have used other attacks?"

"Because the Sword Intent commands the utmost attention, forcing Xuan Tianwen to launch powerful counterattacks. This drained his strength while also diverting his focus onto the Dragon Sword, allowing her to concentrate on deploying this…'Tears of the Azure Moon'!!"

As Brother Yao finished explaining, the entire live stream erupted in excitement.

【Ling Qingxue is awesome!!!】 * 999

For a high school student to demonstrate such combat awareness and mastery in setting up spiritual formations was astonishing.

This wasn't just simple intelligence; it was an extraordinary ability to control the overall situation.

Ling Qingxue clearly knew her weakness: her level was too low. If she were to fight Xuan Tianwen personally, she wouldn't last five minutes.

Using her most proficient spirit formation was undoubtedly the best option at the moment.

This would slow down her own energy consumption while drastically draining Xuan Tianwen's stamina and lightning power.

She certainly couldn't win, but even if Xuan Tianwen won, his condition would be reduced by at least 50%! 

"Nine Thunder Scrolls!... Open!!"

Xuan Tianwen's eyes were bloodshot, and the power of thunder within him erupted wildly, swirling around his entire body.

At this moment, his power had reached its peak, and massive bolts of lightning shattered on the ground.

"Nine Thunder Scrolls, Volume One, Thunder Judgment!!"

The figure of a Thunder General slowly rose, and its Judgment Spear shot towards the crescent moon, instantly piercing it.

The moonlight on the ground vanished, and Ling Qingxue's slightly pale face reappeared before him.

Xuan Tianwen pointed his spear at her.

"Ling Qingxue, you are a true genius. In my eyes, you are more deserving of the title of prodigy than Liu Fufeng, but I must win this battle!"

Even Liu Fufeng couldn't force him to use the Imperial Rank mid-stage technique, the 'Nine Thunder Scrolls', with only a Second Rank cultivation level.

He admired Ling Qingxue greatly, but that didn't change his determination to win.

"Nine Thunder Scrolls, Volume Two, Dawn of Lightning!!"

A bolt of lightning blazed from the tip of Xuan Tianwen's spear, then shot out like a blazing sun.

The lightning illuminated Ling Qingxue's beautiful face, but it did not frighten her.

The Sword Intent soared into the air, a starlight halo swirling around its tip.

After this strike, she would be eliminated; this was something she had already calculated.

"Star Annihilation Slash!"

She squeezed every last drop of her vital and spiritual power, unleashing a slash of starlight capable of destroying everything.

The two attacks collided violently, and Ling Qingxue was sent flying, her body crackling with lightning, powerless to retaliate.

Without Ling Qingxue, Xuan Tianwen and Lei Jiao could now combine their strength for a two-on-one fight, further increasing their chances of victory.

Wu Liang, who was furiously beating Lei Jiao, saw this and his face immediately contorted with rage.

"You bastard, you dare hit my woman!!"

The Fiery Dragon Claw, blazing with chilling flames, swatted the heavily wounded Thunder Flood Dragon away.

He flapped his Black Flame Phoenix Wings and instantly appeared before Xuan Tianwen.

The terrifying, ferocious aura made Xuan Tianwen's heart leap into his throat.

Since Wu Liang activated his Taotie bloodline, he had gained control over a killing intent that not only exerted mental pressure on his enemies but also significantly amplified his attacks.

At the same level, the Thunder Flood Dragon was no match for him.

So what if he was fighting two against one!

"Roar!"

Wu Liang roared, his body growing even larger, standing there like a prehistoric behemoth.

His huge paw descended, kicking up a cloud of dust, and the entire virtual space trembled.

"My god, why does the Taotie seem so terrifying?"

"What are you saying? This is Taotie, one of the Four Fiends! If it wasn't terrifying, what kind of Taotie would it be?!"

"It's too terrifying! Their power is on a completely different level than everyone else's. How shocking would it be if he fought using their bloodline divine skills?"

Xuan Tianwen took a step back, showing no intention of directly fighting Wu Liang.

Wu Liang fighting him would be the same as him fighting Ling Qingxue.

The bloodline of divine beasts was incredibly powerful; how could a weak human body contend with it?

Only by relying on his magical beast could he have a chance of winning.

"Thunder Dragon, activate... Thunder Dao Transformation!!" Xuan Tianwen roared.

Thunder Dao Transformation!

The bloodline divine technique of the Nine Heavens Thunder Dragon transformed itself into pure Nine Heavens Thunder, destroying all opponents. At its peak, even a planet would be reduced to ashes under the Nine Heavens Thunder.

The next moment, a dragon's roar echoed, and the Thunder Flood Dragon's body vanished, transforming into a sky full of lightning and shadow.

It didn't directly attack Wu Liang, but instead...

It merged into Xuan Tianwen's body!!
