"Will Liunian Ling be alright?"
Guhan couldn't help but worry when he heard Yi Qing's words. At the same time, he held the Extinguish Immortal Sword in his hand. The moment the situation changed, Guhan would immediately take action!
"So the people from the Liunian Family are so weak. Even a spirit sword wielder wouldn't be so badly injured after taking a Nine Yang True Lightning!"
Lu Dongbin was both surprised and disdainful when he saw half of Liunian Ling's body turn black.
He was speaking the truth. With this kind of injury, this descendant of the Liunian Family would die on the spot in at most five Nine Yang True Lightning strikes … She was so weak that it was pitiful!
"Our Liunian Family is not something you can insult!"
The heavily injured Liunian Ling raised her head. Her eyes were filled with anger. At the same time, countless rays of sword light shot out from the Soaring Sky Sword in her hand … In less than a second, the area around Liunian Ling was filled with densely packed rays of sword light … There were so many of them that even the light of the sun in the sky was overshadowed. It was as if a new sun had appeared beside Liunian Ling.
"Oh my god!
Just how many rays of sword light are there! "
Seeing so many rays of sword light, the spectators on both sides tried to estimate how many there were.
In the end, they only took a rough glance. The sky was filled with so many rays that their heads were about to explode. How could they calculate the exact number of rays of sword light!
"Ten … One hundred thousand … One million … Six million!"
However, it wasn't that no one could calculate the number of rays of sword light. The Scarlet Emperor South Pole Immortal Weng took a few rough glances and said with certainty, "There are about six million rays of sword light!"
"Six million!"
The Jade Emperor's expression turned ugly. "There's no mistake now. This woman is indeed the descendant of the Liunian Family. Only the Hundred Million Sword Technique of the Liunian Family can produce six million rays of sword light at the Immortal Sword rank!"
The Jade Emperor could not help but recall the most thrilling battle that had taken place over 800 years ago. Including the Jade Emperor himself, five Heavenly Emperors of the Heavenly Court had besieged Sword Emperor Liutuo. In the end, Sword Emperor Liutuo had fought against five alone. In the beginning of the battle, he had even gained the upper hand and almost killed the Jade Emperor several times.
If it wasn't for the Heavenly Court's meticulous strategy to deplete the sword essence in Drifting Goblet Jiandi's body, the outcome of the battle would have been uncertain … If Drifting Goblet's Jiandi's sword essence had doubled, the entire battle would have changed.
The Jade Emperor could still remember Drifting Goblet's terrifying sword light. When Drifting Goblet was at its peak, Jiandi could release 40 million rays of sword light. The 40 million rays of sword light covered the entire Yanjing City. The Jade Emperor would occasionally think of that terrifying scene in his dreams. It became one of the few sources of nightmares for the Jade Emperor.
So when the Jade Emperor saw Liunian Ling's 6,000,000 rays of sword light, he knew that Liunian Ling's surname was not fake. She was the true descendant of the Liunian Clan. Lü Dongbin who was supposed to win was in big trouble this time!
Lü Dongbin was at a complete disadvantage the moment Liunian Ling revealed her Billion Sword Art. Or rather, he was forced to flee. The rays of sword light chased after Lü Dongbin like mad dogs, not giving him a chance to stop.
Lü Dongbin had tried to resist these sword lights, and the sword lights themselves weren't very strong. Lü Dongbin could destroy over a hundred of them with a swing of his sword … but the problem was that there were simply too many of them, and they kept attacking Lü Dongbin from all directions. Lü Dongbin destroyed over a hundred sword lights on one side, but over a thousand sword lights on the other side stabbed into Lü Dongbin's body.
Lü Dongbin cultivated the Pure Yang Body Tempering Technique, a technique that focused on the physical body. Logically speaking, it should not be a problem for the rays of sword light to stab into his body.
That was what Lü Dongbin thought in the beginning. He felt that his physical body was very strong, so he did not focus the rays of sword light on his body. When the rays of sword light pierced through his body and attacked his immortal force, Lü Dongbin realized to his horror that the rays of sword light could ignore his physical body's defenses to a certain extent. The 1,000 rays of sword light had caused him to lose about 0.5% of his immortal force.
0.5% did not sound like much, but it was only the effect of 1,000 rays of sword light. As long as 200,000 of the 6,000,000 rays of sword light pierced into Lü Dongbin's body, Lü Dongbin's immortal force would be depleted, and he would become a mortal!
Lu Dongbin could neither block it nor defend against it. The only thing he could do now was to escape. The sword lights that followed behind him were like stray dogs, and Lu Dongbin had become an unlucky beggar who was being chased and bitten by the stray dogs.
Lü Dongbin also tried to use the Nine Yang True Thunder, which he had just seen miraculous effects, to deal with Liunian Ling. If he could make Liunian Ling eat a few more rays of Nine Yang True Thunder, then he would be able to directly kill his opponent.
However, Liunian Ling had learned her lesson this time. She no longer stood still like before, but constantly moved at high speed in the air. This made Lü Dongbin completely at a loss. The Nine Yang True Thunder was not an instantaneous skill; it required about two seconds to cast. Two seconds was enough for Liunian Ling to move several kilometers. Unless Lü Dongbin could predict Liunian Ling's position two seconds later, the Nine Yang True Thunder would not be able to hit her at all.
"This is bad. If this continues, Ancestor Lü will definitely lose!"
The Jade Emperor frowned deeply. Then, he said something to the Immortal Hermit of the South Pole. The Immortal Hermit of the South Pole nodded and disappeared from his throne. He only returned after five or six seconds.
"Did you manage to borrow it?" the Jade Emperor asked anxiously.
"Yes, I did!"
The Immortal Hermit of the South Pole opened his right hand. Nine small dragons were constantly circling on his palm, forming a large bell-like object.
"But Junior Brother said that the Nine Dragon Heavenly Fire Barrier won't last long against the six million rays of sword light. If Ancestor Lü doesn't have a way to break the enemy, then he will still lose!"
"No matter!
After all, Ancestor Lü is the last disciple of Old Lord Taishang. He must have a trump card! "
The Jade Emperor nodded. The Immortal Hermit of the South Pole sent the Nine Dragon Heavenly Fire Barrier into the void. In the next second, the void around Lü Dongbin was broken, and the Nine Dragon Heavenly Fire Barrier automatically emerged from the void.
"Shameless!
Jade Emperor, you're shameless! "
Seeing the Immortal Hermit of the South Pole give a magic treasure to Lü Dongbin, the six Great Sages who were watching the battle immediately jumped out and made a ruckus.
"Nonsense!
I'm not that kind of person! "
The Jade Emperor said in an inviolable manner. "The Nine Dragon Heavenly Fire Barrier is Ancestor Lü's magic treasure, but he lent it to you a few days ago. Now, he's just returning it to him. How is this shameless?"
"This shameless guy … The Nine Dragon Heavenly Fire Barrier is clearly Lord Taiyi's magic treasure. When did it become Ancestor Lü's …" Wu Zetian, who was familiar with the Heavenly Court, cursed.
"Hmph!
Lord Taiyi gave the Nine Dragon Heavenly Fire Barrier to Ancestor Lü 100 years ago, so it is Ancestor Lü's magic treasure now! "
The Jade Emperor said calmly. He looked at the four Great Emperors around him and gave him a thumbs up … As expected of the Central Jade Emperor. Not only was his magic power powerful, his skin was also so thick!
"Bah!
Who doesn't know that the Nine Dragon Heavenly Fire Barrier is Lord Taiyi's natal magic treasure? There's no reason for a natal magic treasure to be given away. This is utter nonsense … "The six Great Sages were even more dissatisfied.
"The six of you, please be careful with your words and actions. Otherwise, I can take back my promise at any time and fight with you all!"
When the Jade Emperor heard the words of the six Great Sages, he glared at them and directly threatened to cancel the competition.
This could be said to be the Achilles' heel of the six Great Sages. They proposed the competition because they felt that they were no match for the Heavenly Court and did not want to start a war with the Heavenly Court. After being threatened by the Jade Emperor, as expected, they fell silent. In the end, it was Odin who asked helplessly, "May I ask, Jade Emperor, what other magic treasures did Ancestor Lü leave with you? Please tell us now, lest there be another dispute later!"
"None!"
The Jade Emperor shook his head. He had already acted shamelessly once. If he continued, even the Jade Emperor's thick skin wouldn't be able to hold on much longer.
Therefore, both sides tacitly agreed that the Nine Dragon Heavenly Fire Barrier was Lu Dongbin's magic treasure!
"Open for me!"
On the other side, the moment Lu Dongbin received the Nine Dragon Heavenly Fire Barrier, he madly urged his magic power into it. The Nine Dragon Heavenly Fire Barrier expanded to the size of a house in an instant, sheltering Lu Dongbin's entire body within it … No matter how the sword lights attacked, the Nine Dragon Heavenly Fire Barrier did not budge. Lu Dongbin could finally stop and rest for a while!
The Nine Dragon Heavenly Fire Barrier was the natal magic treasure of Lord Taiyi. If others wanted to use it, they had to destroy the mark left by the original owner in the magic treasure.
However, Lord Taiyi had lent it to Lu Dongbin on his own initiative, so that the mark he left in the magic treasure could fully cooperate with Lu Dongbin. Only then could Lu Dongbin use the Nine Dragon Heavenly Fire Barrier.
Liunian Ling manipulated her sword lights to constantly attack the Nine Dragon Heavenly Fire Barrier. But after 100,000 sword lights, the nine dragons on the Nine Dragon Heavenly Fire Barrier let out shrill screams, but the Nine Dragon Heavenly Fire Barrier itself remained as stable as Mount Tai, showing no signs of being broken.
"This broken barrier!
It really is as annoying as the books say! "
Fleeting Ling mumbled in a hushed tone. He knew very well about the Nine Dragons Divine Fire Shroud. In the real world, Heavenly Premier Extreme Celestial had been killed by a patriarch of the Fleeting Family. Naturally, the patriarch would have a deep understanding of Heavenly Premier Extreme Celestial's magic treasure.
According to this ancestor's diary, the Nine Dragon Heavenly Fire Barrier could be said to be one of the nemeses of the Billion Swords Technique. The sword lights of the Billion Swords Technique could not penetrate the defense of the Nine Dragon Heavenly Fire Barrier, and the only way to break through it was to use sword lights … Back then, the ancestor had used nearly two million sword lights to break through the Nine Dragon Heavenly Fire Barrier. Like Liunian Ling, this ancestor was also an immortal sword wielder.
