Chapter 68 - 68 33 Breaking into the Earth List_2

68: 33 Chapter Breaking into the Earth List_2 68: 33 Chapter Breaking into the Earth List_2 “Fellow Daoist, give it your all,” Li Ping’an said solemnly, “We will stop at the slightest touch, there’s no need for such courtesy.”

“Hahaha!

Fine!

Then dodge my staff!”

With a loud shout from Yu Yingshu, his body leaped tens of meters like a fierce tiger, his Demon-Subduing Pestle gleaming with brilliant golden light, and even the sound of chanting echoed in Li Ping’an’s ears.

Has he integrated the Western Sect’s Demon-Subduing Technique into his physical martial skills?

Li Ping’an knew he couldn’t dodge at this moment, or he would invite a thunderous blow.

He clenched his left hand, bent his knees for a leap, and a silver-white long spear appeared in his hand, his body soaring like a dragon emerging from the sea, the spear tip thrusting straight at Yu Yingshu’s shoulder!

“Well brought!”

The golden light around Yu Yingshu swelled as he lifted the Demon-Subduing Pestle and smashed it straight down.

The move seemed monotonous, but it was full of hidden variations.

Li Ping’an understood in his heart that if he dodged even slightly, he would lose the initiative and momentum, allowing his opponent to bring out 120% of his strength.

When engaging in magical combat with such a cultivator, even if the opponent’s cultivation is much higher than one’s own, one must first cut off the opponent’s ‘momentum’!

Therefore, Li Ping’an held the long spear with both hands, his body swaying left and right, mana surging out from all over his body, the tip of the spear radiating a glint of cold light.

Dang!

A loud clash of weapons echoed throughout the mountains, and a ring of shockwaves spread sideways from the sky.

Yu Yingshu’s body reclined backward, while Li Ping’an plummeted towards the ground like an arrow.

Li Dazhi, who was watching the battle from the sidelines, suddenly tensed up and stood to watch the figures on the stage.

Yu Yingshu adjusted his position and immediately dived down.

Before hitting the ground, Li Ping’an suddenly somersaulted, fluttering left and right like a falling leaf, and with a bang, three cloud mist phantoms exploded, filling the platform with billowing clouds.

Wanyun Sect’s Immortal Technique: Zongyun Huanxing!

The eyes of many immortals from the Wanyun Sect brightened.

Most immortals knew that this Immortal Technique was extremely complex, requiring high comprehension to practice, yet they never thought they would witness it today in a disciple in the Reflecting Light Realm.

Yu Yingshu’s figure missed the attack and was about to turn and dodge, but the surrounding clouds had already formed.

Three spear shadows whistled towards him, forcing him to block and defend.

This person reacted very quickly.

With only a long tear in his Daoist robe caused by a spear shadow, he realized he couldn’t handle Li Ping’an’s spear formation, and his figure immediately shot up into the sky, attempting to break through from above.

Two phantoms suddenly flashed from the left and right, two dazzling Immortal Treasure long spears slamming down!

Yu Yingshu swept the Demon-Subduing Pestle to scatter the phantom on the left into clouds;

But the other long spear struck Yu Yingshu’s back solidly, slashing him from mid-air and plunging him into the cloud formation!

Once again, the whistling of the wind rang by Yu Yingshu’s ears as spear shadows shot at him from all directions.

The force of these straightforward spear shadows was even more formidable than a Sword Control Technique of the same cultivation realm!

Yu Yingshu, with all his abilities, struggled to exert them, dodging left and right within the clouds, his momentum falling sharply.

What’s more fatal was that as the incoming spear shadows burst, the clouds around Yu Yingshu grew thicker.

These clouds not only hindered his Spiritual Sense but also the sound of music arose through them, distracting Yu Yingshu and preventing concentration.

Spear Formation, Illusion Technique, Talisman Technique;

Li Ping’an strictly followed what his master had said, using only these three techniques.

As for his Spear Formation itself integrating Sword Control Technique, Cloud Control Technique, bewitching formations, and movement techniques, this did not count as breaking the promise with his master.

After the spear shadows bombarded chaotically for a moment.

“I admit defeat!”

Yu Yingshu, gasping heavily, had his torn Daoist robe hanging off him, and the hand holding the Demon-Subduing Pestle shook uncontrollably.

There wasn’t a single wound on his body, only a dozen or so shallow scratches.

This was not because his body was as hard as metal and stone; it was clear that Li Ping’an had shown mercy and didn’t let him suffer any injuries.

A breeze blew by, and the clouds on the platform immediately dispersed.

Li Ping’an’s figure appeared in the corner, cupping his fists and bowing toward Yu Yingshu, with his Daoist robe barely wrinkled.

“Thanks for letting up.”

“Your Formation!

Truly formidable!

Hahaha!

I’m thoroughly convinced!” Yu Yingshu laughed heartily:

“Before this, I made plans with a few familiar senior brothers and sisters to fight on the Earth List.

They’ve been pondering for several days on how to overcome my Demon-Subduing Pestle.

Little did they expect that what they’ll face in the end is a Zongyun Spear!”

Li Ping’an smiled and said, “Thank you for the name, Brother.

My spear formation will henceforth be called Zongyun Spear.”

Yu Yingshu was stunned for a moment, then threw back his head and laughed heartily, made a respectful Daoist salute to Li Ping’an, and turned to leap off the platform.

Sounds of a gong rose from the side.

“The victor, disciple of Qing Su, Li Ping’an!”

At the edge of the arena, Ningning Mu excitedly gave a thumbs-up gesture, then clenched her small fist, seriously preparing for her next magical combat.

…

In the corner of the viewing platform.

Li Dazhi grinned broadly with a look of beaming joy.

The several elders and stewards beside him couldn’t stop praising Li Ping’an.

“Uncle Master Dazhi, Ping’an has such remarkable abilities!”

“To reverse-strike the Refining Void Realm from the state of Ningguang and win so effortlessly, it is indeed an eye-catcher!”

“Ping’an’s calm and composed temperament is truly rare!”

“Ah!”

Li Dazhi said with a smile,

“Don’t praise him too much, don’t spoil the boy!

“Ping’an’s talent may not be outstanding, but he always diligently strives for progress; even I, as his father, feel somewhat ashamed compared to him.”

The elders showered him with another round of praise, and Li Dazhi felt extremely comfortable inside.

As they were chatting, Li Dazhi suddenly felt a wisp of spiritual sense probing him and subconsciously looked up in the distance, his eyes meeting with a beautiful Immortal’s.

An Immortal’s vision is incomparable to that of ordinary people.

The one exchanging glances with Li Dazhi was none other than Elder Xiaoyue who had just returned to the sect to watch the event.

Today, Xiaoyue was dressed more modestly than usual, not wearing one of those long dresses that, despite the abundance of fabric, seem to protect hardly anything; a simple elegant purple dress enhanced her astonishing figure and her beautiful, mature, and charming face, naturally attracting secret glances from many young male cultivators.

At this moment, she looked at Li Dazhi, her gaze carrying a hint of playfulness.

Li Dazhi looked back at Xiaoyue.

Though puzzled in his heart, he habitually wore a friendly, warm smile and greeted Xiaoyue with a cupped fist salute.

Xiaoyue slightly inclined her body, then turned her head back towards the stage.

Li Dazhi secretly thought, ‘Strange, why was Elder Xiaoyue staring at me?

Is Vice Sect Leader Moyi up to something sneaky?’

In her heart, Xiaoyue pondered, ‘Could it be possible that this man has developed feelings for me?

He has great fortune, and as a fellow disciple of a Golden Immortal—though my master is a disciple of Grandmaster Kongming—it isn’t something I cannot consider…

But now, I shouldn’t be too intimate with him.

Alas, this matter is really troubling.’

“Excellent!”

Cheers erupted from the crowd, followed by jubilant shouting from a group of female disciples.

On the platform, Ningning Mu’s Duyan stance came to a steady halt, and a later-stage Ningguang female cultivator sighed, gave Ningning Mu a bowed salute, and left the stage in disappointment.

At this moment, Ningning Mu was drenched in sweat, searching for Li Ping’an’s figure, and smiling with pursed lips towards him.

Her cultivation realm was still somewhat low, and reaching the top four had been rather strenuous;

However, as long as she didn’t face Li Ping’an in the next match, she could advance into the top three and challenge the Earth List disciples back at Caiyun Peak.

Li Dazhi had already prepared for this possibility.

Weiyanzi appeared promptly at the judges’ seat and simply arranged opponents for Li Ping’an and Ningning Mu.

Weiyanzi’s rationale was quite substantial: “It’s been no easy feat for the two Ningguang realm disciples to get this far, overcoming the strong despite their weakness, something everyone loves to see.

Let’s see if they can create an impressive story.”

The elders and stewards nodded with a smile, having no objections whatsoever.

Half an hour later.

Li Ping’an and Ningning Mu, each victorious over their next-round opponents, appeared on the left and right sides of the stage.

Li Ping’an nodded to Ningning Mu with a smile, clearly intending to yield.

The difference in rewards between first and second on the People’s List was only a few Spirit Stones; letting her be happy was no bother.

“Junior Sister, this match…”

“Oh dear, oh dear me.”

Suddenly Ningning Mu fell to the ground feigning frailty, her peach-blossom eyes shimmering as she held her chest, lowered her head, and spat a small spurt of blood, pretending to have suffered internal injuries from overexerting in the previous fight:

“That’s bad, I pushed too hard just now, and ended up hurting myself, what am I going to do now.

“All these treasures were given to me by my senior brother, conceding the match isn’t really an issue, as I couldn’t have beaten him in the first place.

“I admit defeat, cough, cough cough, senior brother, please help me up.”

Li Ping’an’s lips twitched slightly, as the frail Ningning Mu winked at him, and the prearranged sisters came forward to help, the platform bustling with laughter and chatter.

The Immortals in the crowd were amused, with the fun-loving amongst them already discussing the romantic entanglements of the junior disciples via telepathy.

Li Ping’an, securing the first place in the People’s List, advanced into the Earth List battles!

Outside the arena, a large hand slowly descended, patting the shoulder of Li Dazhi, who was wearing the smile of a proud father.
