135: C135 Art of the Underworld

C135 Art of the Underworld

Ji Bing's decision was still a little surprising.

The elders would not interfere in a normal disciple competition.

Ji Bing letting Lin Yue enter the last round indicated that she thought highly of him. At least, she wanted to focus on nurturing him.

Because even if Lin Yue failed, he would still be ranked second. The rewards he received and the arrangement of the secret chamber would definitely not be bad.

Many people looked at Lin Yue with envy. This kind of treatment was something that only happened once in a hundred years.

Lin Yue also did not expect it to be like this. After respectfully saluting Ji Bing, he went down the stage.

"Congratulations Junior Brother Lin." Meng Yachen said happily, "I didn't expect you to be able to control the Spiritual Fire."

"That's right. If Master knew, he would definitely be very happy." Xin Shui patted Lin Yue's shoulder.

In the past hundred years, Lin Yue was the first disciple that Elder Ji Bing had taken a liking to.

In fact, Ji Bing rarely came to watch the disciple competition. In the past hundred years, she had come here every time and she could count the number of times she had come.

Next, Lin Yue felt relaxed as he watched the crowd fight on the stage.

Meng Yachen's wolf-headed zombie's strength was not bad. It actually made it into the top ten.

"Junior Brother Lin, your last opponent should be Hsing Teng." Heart Water pointed at the platform in the middle, a man with a cold expression.

Behind the man was a huge white bear.

"A zombie made from the King of White Bears. Its combat power has reached the peak of Star Stomper. It's very hard to deal with." Heart Water said.

"No matter how strong it is, it's not as strong as Brother Heart Water." Meng Yachen said, "The zombie that senior disciple Xin Shui refined has already advanced to the Zombie King realm, and its combat strength is comparable to the Spiritual Baby. It is definitely the strongest person below the Spiritual Baby."

"That's right. As for Hsing Teng, he can only be ranked 20th at most amongst the Star Trampler disciples." Someone said, "Because many outstanding disciples didn't participate, he only revealed himself this time."

Lin Yue didn't dare to be careless. Seeing how ruthless Hsing Teng was, some of the disciples were seriously injured by him. It seemed like he wasn't someone to be trifled with.

"Junior Brother Lin, you have to be careful. He is Wan Leehan's disciple." Xin Shui said.

Lin Yue nodded his head. His current cultivation base was only at the fifth level of Star Stomper. Plus, many of his techniques were hard to show in this place. Thus, he had no confidence in himself.

However, after experiencing the eighty-one tempering of his body by the heavenly lightning, his body's strength had improved by a substantial margin. Even a cultivator at the ninth level of the Star Stomper realm wouldn't necessarily be as strong as his body.

This time's decisive battle would also be a good opportunity to see what level his combat strength had reached.

As expected, in the next few rounds, Hsing Teng continuously defeated his opponents, and became the one who fought Lin Yue.

At this moment, the platform slowly closed and recombined into a single entity.

Lin Yue came to the platform and stood opposite of Hsing Teng.

"Who do you think will win this time?" Some people in the audience discussed in low voices.

"Is there even a need to guess? Of course it's Hsing Teng." One of them said affirmatively, "If it wasn't for the fact that the elder thinks highly of Lin Qiushan, he would have been eliminated in the first few rounds."

"I think so too. No matter how powerful Lin Qiushan's female corpse is... I'm no match for Hsing Teng's Bear King. Besides, the gap between the two of them is huge." A man beside him said, "It's just the last round of the elder. It seems like the elder intends to nurture Lin Qiushan."

" That's of course. As long as he doesn't get beaten to death by Hsing Teng, he will be ranked second. At the very least, he can change to a secret chamber with good Yin Qi quality. That won't be a problem. " Someone said with envy.

It seemed like none of them were optimistic about Lin Yue, as they all thought that he would definitely lose.

"What do you think?" Ji Bing looked at Dong Rui who was beside her.

"The disciple Junior Sister is looking forward to, of course I am also looking forward to it." Dong Rui smiled, "But he still needs time to grow. After all, the gap between his and Hsing Teng's level is too great. It will be very difficult to win."

Ji Bing did not say anything. The corner of her mouth rose slightly and she turned her gaze back to the arena.

The restriction on the platform was activated. Under the command of Magistrate Mingxuan, the decisive battle began.

Lin Yue held the Residual Sword in his hand as he fought fiercely with Hsing Teng. Female Brake and the Bear King Zombie clashed.

The Bear King zombie was more than three meters tall, and its leather armor was thick and sturdy. It possessed extraordinary strength and gave people a huge sense of oppression.

"Yellow Spring Descends!" Xing Teng coldly shouted, and slashed with the longsword in his hand!

There was no sword Qi, but Lin Yue felt a change in his surroundings. The cold wind howled around him, and hundreds of ghosts wailed. It was as if he had arrived at the road to the Yellow Spring.

"Illusion!" With a thought from Lin Yue, the Divine Demon Tower turned and the scene returned to the arena. At this moment, Hsing Teng's sword was less than three feet away from him!

Lin Yue used the Imperial Wind Technique and dodged the attack with his afterimages.

From the moment Hsing Teng used the illusion technique to the moment he launched the attack, it only took an instant.

If it wasn't for Lin Yue waking up in time, the outcome of the battle would have been decided by now.

"What a powerful spiritual force!" Elder Dong Rui was somewhat surprised, "Hsing Teng's illusion technique actually didn't have any effect!"

Heart Water and the others heaved a sigh of relief. No one would have thought that Hsing Teng would use an illusion technique the moment he appeared, causing them to be unprepared.

Lin Yue's quick reaction had exceeded everyone's expectations. They couldn't help but exclaim in their hearts.

Hsing Teng's facial expression became even colder after his attack failed. His sword attack became even more ruthless.

At this moment, Female Brake was fighting intensely with the Bear King. Female Brake relied on her nimble movements to actually not fall into a disadvantage.

Although the Bear King had extraordinary strength, its body was stiff and its movements clumsy.

Female Brake could not hurt him either. As long as she could hold him back, it would be fine as long as she did not increase the pressure on Lin Yue.

Lin Yue casted the Nirvana Sword Technique. Streams of sword qi mixed with Yin Qi shot out.

Ever since Lin Yue inherited the inheritance of the sword cultivator, there were still many things that he hadn't comprehended yet. There were still a few moves that he hadn't learned in the Nirvana Sword Technique.

Currently, the sword technique that he was most familiar with was still the Dao Seeking Sword Technique. However, he did not dare to use it now, as he was afraid that others would recognize him.

While Lin Yue was performing the sword technique, a fire dragon suddenly rose from behind him and roared at Hsing Teng.

Hsing Teng had long been prepared for this. With a loud shout, a huge dragon of Yin Qi rushed forward to meet it.

His cultivation level was four levels higher than Lin Yue's. The dragon of Yin Qi that he had condensed was enough to fight against the dragon of spirit fire.

Lin Yue used the highest realm of the Imperial Wind Technique. His body turned into a stream of light, and flames kept surging out of his body.

Hsing Teng was annoyed by Lin Yue. His face turned cold. He stuck the long sword in his hand in front of him and half-knelt on the ground. He shouted, "Underworld Palace!"

A black blade of light spread out in all directions with him as the center.

Lin Yue's face changed, and without any place to hide, he quickly condensed his ice armor.

As soon as it was completed, it was slashed by the black blade of light. The Ice Armor shattered, and he spat out a mouthful of blood.

Female Brake was also hit by the light blade at her waist, and heavily hit the barrier of the formation.

The Bear King was also not spared and was hit by the blade of light on its body. However, its leather armor was thick and its defense was very strong. It only shook its body a little.

Hsing Teng's move, other than himself, no one else was spared!

Lin Yue wiped the blood from the corner of his mouth. This Ninth Star Stomper was indeed not easy to deal with.

Fortunately, his body was strong, so he was not in any serious trouble.

Hsing Teng stood up and looked coldly at Lin Yue, but there was a trace of tiredness in the corner of his eyes.

The Dark Palace was also a small divine ability, and it consumed a lot of energy.

"The gap between our levels is really hard to make up for." Dong Rui shook his head and said to Wan Leehan, "Junior Brother Wan, Hsing Teng's technique of the Underworld Palace isn't bad. It seems like he has been teaching Hsing Teng a lot during the past few days."

Wan Lihan smiled, "Brother Dong, you are flattering me. As the old saying goes, the master will bring him into the sect to cultivate by himself. I was busy with my cultivation and neglected some of my disciples. Fortunately, they were able to live up to their expectations. Knowing how to cultivate diligently makes me feel more at ease."

"Junior Brother Wan is too humble. Once the quota is set, I'll go to the headquarters and cultivate for a hundred years. When I come back, I'm afraid I'll have the identity of a Zenith Heaven." Dong Rui said with some envy.

Although he had come to the Yin Corpse Pavilion a hundred years earlier than Wan Lihan, he had encountered a bottleneck in his cultivation. His cultivation base had been surpassed by Wan Leehan, so he had no chance to cultivate in the headquarters.

"Before the Pavilion Master has spoken, it's still unknown who the quota will belong to." Wan Leehan said.

Ji Bing glanced at Wan Leehan but didn't say anything, because there was a change on the stage.

Ice arrows filled the sky as they shot towards Hsing Teng. At the same time, Lin Yue opened his Flying-cloud Wing and struck it hard, pushing his speed to the limit.

When Hsing Teng saw the broken transparent thing fall from Lin Yue's body, he thought it was a protective gear, but he did not realize that it was an Ice Armor. It was only when the ice arrows came that he realized that Lin Yue actually had the power of ice!

"He can control ice and fire power at the same time!" The audience exclaimed, and some people stood up.

Ice and fire were incompatible. They didn't think that a person's body could contain two types of natural powers at the same time. This was too inconceivable.

A portion of the ice arrows shot towards the Bear King Zombie, relieving Female Brake of some of the pressure.

A stream of light appeared after the ice arrow. The Residual Sword in Lin Yue's hand moved.

"Fast Sword Divine Technique!"

A sword energy suddenly shot out, and just as it was about to pierce through Hsing Teng's body, it was suddenly blocked by the long sword.

Bang!

The sword energy hit Hsing Teng's sword and sent him flying.

Lin Yue's eyes showed a trace of pity. This fast sword skill didn't have the expected effect.

Hsing Teng steadied his body. There was a trace of surprise on his face, and then his body shot forward, slashing down with the sword in his hand.

Lin Yue didn't seem to have time to react. In the blink of an eye, Hsing Teng had already arrived in front of him.

Two long dragons of ice and fire appeared out of nowhere, and merged in an instant.

At the same time, a thick Ice Armor condensed on Lin Yue's body once again. He turned into a ray of light and came to Female Brake's side, freezing her in ice.

Hsing Teng's speed was too fast, and it was too late for him to stop. The long sword stabbed into the dragon of ice and fire, and exploded with a loud bang. It was wrapped by a terrifying energy.

Before the energy of the dragon of ice and fire spread out, Lin Yue condensed another ice mountain in front of him!

All of this happened in one go, and it was as smooth as flowing water. It seemed like he had already planned this beforehand.2

The energy mass quickly spread out, and the entire formation began to distort violently, as if it was going to break at any moment.

The ice mountain was swept away in an instant. Lin Yue and Female Brake were also swept away, and the Ice Armor shattered.

The Bear King was sent flying by the energy wave, and it heavily hit the barrier wall of the formation. A long dent appeared on the barrier wall of the formation, and then it bounced back.

If it smashed into the energy ball, there wouldn't even be dust left.

Just as the Bear King zombie was about to fall into the energy ball, it was suddenly wrapped by a force and pulled out of the magic array.

A figure appeared on the stage and clenched his hands, compressing the terrifying energy ball and turning it into nothingness.

Lin Yue stood up and looked at the man in white on the stage.

This man was none other than Hsing Teng's master, Wan Leehan!
