Chapter 257 The competition continues
Last time, we talked about Li Yi finally meeting Nangong Xue. However, Nangong Xue, who had successfully passed the tribulation, not only entered the extraordinary realm, but also completely forgot about Li Yi. Well, this is not right, because Nangong Xue only remembered that Li Yi was a lecher and wanted to kill him! So what is going on? Let's read on.
Seeing Nangong Xue being suppressed by Li Yi, Qian Yuan Zhenren said to Jing Yuan: "Watch Li Yi's attack method carefully and think about how you would fight him if it were you. His soul power is not weaker than yours. Don't think about suppressing him by force with just your realm."
Jing Yuan replied: "Disciple understands."
Gui Yun looked at the calmness in the arena and said, "Brother, don't worry. Xue'er may not lose. She has not yet exerted the true strength of her natural sword fetus. As long as Li Yi keeps attacking like this, he will definitely stimulate Xue'er's potential and force out her strength!"
"Since Junior Brother is so confident, I want to see to what extent this natural sword fetus can use our Tianzong's Merciless Sword."
Yi Ling felt that what Tian Zong said was very irritating, so he asked his master Tao Xuan Zhenren: "Master, what do you think?"
Tao Xuan Zhenren stroked his beard and said, "Li Yi's spiritual power is indeed strong enough, which can be seen from the attack of the Soul Sealing Lock just now. But since he has already locked Nangong Xue's soul, why didn't he just lock it and then give her a fatal blow?"
Shi Ling Zhenren replied: "Because it would consume too much energy, and he would not be able to cope with the next battle with Jing Yuan. He is now using the Seven Absolute Swords to dissolve Nangong Xue's Supreme Forgetfulness. As long as he succeeds, he can easily win."
"Junior brother, it's not that easy to crack the Supreme Forgetfulness! Not everyone is as gifted as you."
"Li Yi is as talented as me, but the key is not talent, but how to apply talent to actual combat. He is better than me in this aspect!"
Yi Ling said excitedly: "Then we are sure to win this game, right?"
Shi Ling Zhenren brushed his beard and smiled, "It depends on how hard Li Yi is willing to hit Nangong Xue."
The scene cuts back to the fighting arena. Li Yi clearly had several chances to knock Nangong Xue down, but he didn't do so. Instead, he chose to continue using the Seven Deadly Swords to dissolve Tai Shang Wang Qing, which made Yi Ling outside the arena very anxious.
Nangong Xue said coldly: "How dare you tease me, you lecher!" Nangong Xue's eyes suddenly turned blue, and in an instant, the entire arena seemed to be shrouded by an invisible cold wave, and the temperature dropped sharply at an alarming rate! It was already winter, and if the temperature dropped further, it would reach the point where the spirit could not leave the body.
The effect of this move was very obvious. The offensive power of the Seven Swords was weakened, and even the Acalanatha Dharmakaya became sluggish. Nangong Xue took the opportunity to break free from the entanglement of the Seven Swords and launched a counterattack, but she failed to break the defense of the Acalanatha Dharmakaya because her spiritual power was also restricted.
Nangong Xue had no choice but to keep her distance and point her sword at the sky. The powerful and sharp sword energy gradually condensed and took shape in the air, transforming into an extremely huge and lifelike ice bird!
The black bird exuded a biting cold air all over its body. Its crystal clear wings sparkled with a cold brilliance. Every feather was clearly visible, as if it was carefully carved. With its head held high and its eyes sharp, it exuded a majestic and inviolable aura. As Nangong Xue swung the Ruyun Sword, the black bird began to dive loudly, swooping down towards Li Yi, leaving behind a trail of gorgeous frost wherever it passed.
The black bird crashed into Li Yi, sealing him and the surrounding ground together. After adjusting the temperature, Nangong Xue attached her spiritual power to the sword, then used the sword energy to gather the sword intent, and swung the sword to attack again. After she dodged the seven swords attacking her, she pierced the Acala Dharma Image with one sword. Fortunately, Li Yi avoided the vital points and clamped the Ruyun Sword with his arm, but Nangong Xue's icy sword energy continued to erode Li Yi through the wound.
The ice shattered, the image of Acala dissipated, and chains suddenly appeared under Nangong Xue's feet, binding her tightly. The temperature in the arena began to rise. In addition to resisting her sword energy, Li Yi put all his remaining energy on the Seven Absolute Swords, stabbing Nangong Xue with seven swords. The latter's eyes turned into colored glass, and he used the Tianzong Yushu to forcibly fix the Seven Absolute Swords in mid-air. Now it was a duel of their mental power.
Yi Ling, who was watching the battle, asked, "Master, didn't Li Yi's Soul Sealing Chain seal Nangong Xue's spiritual power? How could she use the Object Controlling Technique?"
Shi Ling Zhenren replied: "After surviving the catastrophe and becoming an immortal, one can mobilize the spiritual energy of heaven and earth. It is the spiritual power of Wudang Mountain that holds the Seven Absolute Swords. If not, how could Nangong Xue fight Li Yi for so long with limited spiritual power?"
Tao Xuan Zhenren nodded and said, "Yiling, you have also started to practice immortal arts, but how come you don't know the difference between immortal arts and magic? Isn't immortal arts using the spiritual energy of heaven and earth? If you were in this situation, I'm afraid you wouldn't even last ten moves, right?"
Yi Ling snorted coldly, "The Taoist leader has passed on the spell of the Soul Sealing Chain to me. I can unlock the chain myself. Not to mention ten moves, I can withstand a hundred or a thousand moves!"
Gui Yun Zhenren on the side raised his lips slightly, with a hint of contempt in his eyes, but he still said calmly: "Brother, Xue'er's sword embryo is about to awaken! We won this battle!"
Looking at the fighting arena again, a blue halo suddenly erupted from Nangong Xue's body, and the blue light spread out in all directions. Everything it touched was possessed by sword spirits. Frost and snow condensed into swords, dead branches turned into blades, and stones were sharpened into sharp edges. In a blink of an eye, thousands of swords were in the air in the fighting arena!
Nangong Xue shouted loudly: "Stars fall and the moon falls!" All the spirit swords smashed towards Li Yi like meteors breaking through the air. If they were hit by this move, they would not turn into hedgehogs, but would be directly turned into meat paste!
However, Li Yi turned the Heaven-Measure Ruler into a golden bell and covered himself with it. The thousands of spirit swords hit the bell and made clanging sounds. After all, the Heaven-Measure Ruler was a magical weapon made by Empress Tai'an. Even if Nangong Xue's thousands of spirit swords kept attacking it, it was as stable as Mount Tai and remained motionless.
Guiyun Zhenren said to Jingyuan: "The Heaven-Measurement Ruler is indeed a problem. If it were you, how would you solve the situation?"
Jing Yuan replied: "External attacks cannot break it, only internal methods can. Junior sister's sword is still in the bell." Zhenren Qianyuan and Zhenren Guiyun nodded in unison.
In the arena, the golden bell around Li Yi began to tremble and rise into the air. Naturally, the Ruyun Sword was trying to dissolve the protection of the Measuring Ruler from the inside. Nangong Xue first controlled the spirit sword to cut off the chains around him, and then slapped the ground. The ground under Li Yi's feet rose up and lifted the golden bell and him into the air. The Ruyun Sword took the opportunity to take away the golden bell transformed by the Measuring Ruler.
Nangong Xue seized the opportunity and immediately controlled the sky full of spiritual swords to attack Li Yi, who immediately put his hands together and summoned the Dharma image of Acala to defend himself. When Acala fell, Li Yi had transformed the scattered talent into various musical instruments and used the spiritual sound spell to control the instruments to play.
Li Yi took out the Phoenix-headed Qin of the Bodhisattva Miaoyin, and said as he played it: "Since your master has erased your memory, I will use this song to remind you of me!" The song Li Yi played was the song "Is There a Song That Will Remind You of Me" by Zhou Huajian:
The lights are off, the moon is a lonely eye, quietly watching who is alone and unable to sleep
That familiar song came from afar. Why are those voices so weak?
Long time no see. Are you okay now? You once said that you don't want to be alone.
We all live in this city, but why don't we meet again? We just pass by strangers.
Is there a song that will make you follow along and remind you of our past? The memory will never be silent.
Is there a song that will make you remember me, make you happy and sad?
The truest dream, do you still remember it? You are now also a person with a story.
The sky is raining the same cold rain, falling on the same world, yesterday is getting farther and farther away
Is there a song that will let you follow and touch our past together? The memory has never been silent.
Is there a song that will make you remember me, make you happy and sad?
Is there a song that you can sing along with and follow the ups and downs of our lives?
Is there a song that will suddenly remind you of me, make you happy and sad?
If the song I'm singing now reminds you of me, if loneliness comes up, I want to know why. Oh
Is there a song that will suddenly remind you of me, make you happy and sad?
The song I sing now is telling you that even though the days have passed, we have walked together.
The song I sing now represents my telling you that even though the days have passed, we have walked
Even if the days pass by quickly, we have walked
In the singing, the two were not looking at each other affectionately, but in a fierce confrontation! Li Yi's talent not only turned into a musical instrument, but also turned into hundreds of sharp swords! Now in the arena, the talent turned into swords, the sword intent was everywhere, and the spirit swords were filled with vast sword energy. This was a competition between sword intent and sword energy, and it was also a contest between the two people's spiritual power and mental strength.
Obviously, Nangong Xue, who could call upon the spiritual energy of heaven and earth, was better. In the collision between the spiritual sword and the sword transformed from talent, the spiritual sword would often defeat the sword of talent and turn it back into talent. After singing a song, Li Yi's sword of talent was exhausted, but the spiritual swords were still all over Nangong Xue's head!
Master Guiyun said calmly: "The next strike will decide the outcome!" Upon hearing this, Yiling looked towards the field nervously.
Nangong Xue gathered all the spirit swords in the sky together, turning them into a giant spirit sword that was two meters long and one meter wide. She flew into the air, merged into the sword, used herself as the sword's heart, and led the giant spirit sword to slash towards Li Yi.
Li Yi looked at Nangong Xue flying over, with the corners of his mouth raised. He did not intend to dodge, but shrunk the image of Acalanatha to the same size as his body, and stood upright with both hands playing the phoenix-headed harp, with his arms behind his back beating the castanets, shaking the sandalwood, and beating the hand drum, while he himself sang the song "You" that he had given to Nangong Xue with deep affection:
You fell from the sky and landed on my horse
A jade-like appearance, clear water-like eyes, a slight smile that makes my heart warm
You who never looked back, spread your wings
Looking for the direction, the direction is ahead, a sigh makes my life cold
You are in the center of thousands of people, feeling the overwhelming glory
I can't see your eyes, are they hiding tears?
I don't have that kind of power. I can't forget even if I want to.
Just wait until the dark night to dream about the girl I once loved
Amid the music, Nangong Xue and her giant sword flew over, but just when Li Yi sang to the climax, "Dream of the girl I once loved", the giant sword stopped above Li Yi's head!
When everyone was in amazement, Shi Ling Zhenren said with a smile: "He did it! Nangong Xue's Supreme Forgetfulness was broken!"
Gui Yun Zhenren's words were filled with anger: "What? Impossible, this is impossible! This is the Supreme Forgetfulness that I improved based on my experience from the last failure! How could your Seven Absolute Sword Intent be broken!"
Shi Ling Zhenren said with a smile: "Brother, don't be upset. You have improved it, but Li Yi is not using my Seven Absolute Sword anymore. It is his own Seven Absolute Sword! It is a Seven Absolute Sword that integrates the three schools of Confucianism, Buddhism and Taoism! The sword's meaning is stronger, heavier and more unforgettable!"
Guiyun Zhenren shouted, "Xue'er, Nangong Xue, what are you hesitating about! Kill him quickly! Have you forgotten how he lied to you!"
"You lied to me, yes! Li Yi, you liar! You actually lied to me!" The giant sword began to move slowly and continued to slash towards Li Yi!
Li Yi nodded and smiled, "Yes, I lied to you, but you also said that you would remember me forever for lying to you!" A lotus seal suddenly lit up under Li Yi's feet, and the six-petal lotus with the six-character mantra in Sanskrit spun rapidly, and the golden light spread and merged into Nangong Xue's body. The giant sword stopped in front of Li Yi's forehead, then began to crack, and finally with a crash, it shattered into ice crystals and fell!
Nangong Xue stood in front of Li Yi with tears in her eyes. Li Yi dispersed his Acala image, put the Phoenix-headed Harp into the sack, stretched out his hands and said with a smile: "You finally remembered it. If you don't remember it again, you will have to kill me with your own hands!"
"You deserve it! Who told you to lie to me!" Nangong Xue threw herself into Li Yi's arms while crying, and the two of them embraced each other affectionately in front of everyone!
