Chapter 308: Chapter 286: Martial Arts Tournament for Marriage! (4K)_3
Even Lu Changsheng was secretly shocked.
The Talisman Division of the Dragon Tiger Sect, with their use of talismans, surpassed other sects.
“Myriad Swords Return to Origin!”
With the Ten Thousand Swords Art activated, Shen Xiaoyao unleashed countless spirit swords like a violent storm, shattering the fire dragon formed by the Divine Fire Demon Subduing Talisman.
However, the Divine Fire Demon Subduing Talisman was merely a ruse to distract Shen Xiaoyao. The moment the fire dragon dispersed, Zhang Sheng’s figure appeared from behind the firelight, his fist smashing towards Shen Xiaoyao!
Blocking with the Opening Sun Sword in his left hand, Shen Xiaoyao was struck by Zhang Sheng’s fist and pushed back dozens of steps!
Before Shen Xiaoyao could fully regain his stance, Zhang Sheng’s figure, swift as an arrow, reached him again, his fist carrying the whistling wind as he swung!
At the same time, several talismans were already flung out.
Divine Fire blazed furiously, accompanied by lightning and thunder!
Zhang Sheng’s attacks were like a thunderbolt, merciless. His aggressive approach amazed the onlookers even more.
“Zhang Sheng is indeed the top contender of Zhong Zhou’s younger generation. Though only at the seventh layer of the Void Refinement Realm, he could likely emerge victorious even against those in the eighth or ninth layer.”
“With his talent, he’s certainly a worthy match for the young mistress of the Star Pavilion.”
The crowd expressed their admiration.
If Zhang Sheng were to reach Great Accomplishment in the Unity Realm, he wouldn’t be inferior to the current Sect Leader of the Dragon Tiger Sect.
Yet Lu Changsheng wasn’t all that surprised.
His eldest disciple, Lin Qingzhi, at the eighth layer of the Void Refinement Realm, and his second disciple, Lu Qinglian, at the seventh layer, both possessed the strength to defeat Zhang Sheng. It was just that Shen Xiaoyao began his training later, and so, being at a lower realm, he found himself at a disadvantage.
Despite this, Lu Changsheng believed that Shen Xiaoyao still had the power to fight.
Just when everyone thought Shen Xiaoyao would suffer a severe blow under Zhang Sheng’s preemptive strike, a Treasure Pagoda appeared above Shen Xiaoyao’s head. Encased in Golden Light Protecting Body and with his sword darting like a dragon, he blocked Zhang Sheng’s punching force as well as several talismans.
With a hiss, two talismans were released!
Shen Xiaoyao counterattacked using talismans.
One was the ninth-grade Golden Crow Divine Talisman, and the other was the Divine Fire Demon Subduing Talisman!
The Golden Crow Divine Fire exploded!
Inside his Daoist robe, Shen Xiaoyao’s left hand had already channeled True Qi into the ninth-grade Within Reach, Ends of the Earth Talisman. Just as the Golden Crow Divine Talisman and the Divine Fire Demon Subduing Talisman were unleashed, he used the Within Reach, Ends of the Earth Talisman to widen the gap.
Since Lu Changsheng often bestowed various talismans upon his disciples, the disciples of Qingyun Peak were no strangers to them. In fact, each one was an expert in the use of talismans.
The third disciple of Qingyun Peak, Mo Huazhi, could even craft eighth-grade talismans.
Zhang Sheng didn’t anticipate that Shen Xiaoyao would also use talismans. Engulfed by the Golden Crow Divine Fire, he quickly used an Earth Escape Divine Talisman to flee from the range of the Divine Fire.
However, Zhang Sheng was slightly late, and his Daoist robe got partly burnt by the Golden Crow Divine Fire. Although he wasn’t badly injured, he looked quite disheveled.
What surprised him even more was the number of rare talismans Mount Shu possessed.
And Shen Xiaoyao used these talismans without any sign of reluctance.
He didn’t know that Shen Xiaoyao had received too many such talismans from his master, Lu Changsheng, where eighth-grade and ninth-grade talismans were as common as Qi-gathering pills.
Shen Xiaoyao swallowed a Red Emperor Dragon Strength Pill, circulated the Free and Easy Wandering Skills, and executed the Divine Sword Commanding Wind Art.
“Nine Heavens Tianxuan Wind, drawn forth by my sword!”
The Pure Yang Qi within Shen Xiaoyao flooded into the Opening Sun Sword, his dazzling and warm Pure Yang Sword Qi soaring skywards, forming a radiant pillar connecting heaven and earth.
The Nine Heavens Gang Wind howled, sweeping through clouds!
Shen Xiaoyao hadn’t yet mastered the complete superior Immortal-grade swordsmanship of the Divine Sword Commanding Wind Art, but he was still able to use part of it skillfully!
At the sight of Shen Xiaoyao’s swordsmanship, the crowd was stunned.
The direct disciple of the Sect Leader of Mount Shu, his combat prowess was astonishing indeed!
