Chapter 302: Chapter 114: Battle (Continued)

"A futile effort."

This was Qing Yu’s assertion regarding Xuan Ling’s self-perceived psychological tactic.

He gazed at the now diminished group of enemies and, with a half-smile, said, "Do you think Xuanming will be your savior?

Ha, even if all of you die, you won’t be able to wait for Xuanming to save you. Unfortunately, it’s your Sect Leader Xuan Chen’s fault for offending others for no reason!"

"As for another so-called solution, it is equally futile. The weak, even if they unite, cannot kill the strong."

It’s a universally acknowledged truth that two fists are no match for four hands. Therefore, from the beginning of his martial arts training, Qing Yu consciously sought to overcome this disadvantage, lest he one day become an elephant killed by ants.

"Qi Dual Flow" was Qing Yu’s greatest defensive measure against being ambushed. As long as he could keep returning energy and was protected by Protective Gang Qi, anyone weaker than Qing Yu would hardly threaten his life.

After Qing Yu finished speaking, True Qi surged, and a golden mist swirled around his body, then spread outward.

In the golden mist, glimpses of scales and claws appeared, suggesting the presence of primordial exotic beasts lurking within.

Seeing this, Qingxu and the others felt a bad premonition, but they lacked the courage to attack first. If they attacked first, the incredibly fast Qing Yu could easily find an opening and eliminate another one of them.

Therefore, after exchanging glances, the three of them tacitly decided to stick to their initial decision to delay—either until Master Xuanming arrived to help or until Gong Ziyu’s True Qi was exhausted.

As for what Gong Ziyu said about "a futile effort," they could only hope that it was merely his attempt to psych them out.

At this moment, the golden mist had completely obscured Qing Yu’s figure and was quickly spreading toward where Qingxu and the others stood.

The unknown creature hidden within the mist now fully revealed its true form.

It was, shockingly, a dragon, a Divine Dragon formed from True Qi.

"Qi Dual Flow·Soul Dragon."

Qing Yu waved his sleeve dramatically, and two True Qi Divine Dragons soared toward Qingxu and his companions with boundless momentum.

Before even coming close, the doubled power of the Soul Dragon had already caused the previously cracked ice to shatter inch by inch. The frigid river water below surged up, seeping into the shoes and socks of Qingxu’s group, filling their feet with coldness.

But they were already too preoccupied to care about the chill, as the two vividly realistic True Qi Divine Dragons were already upon them.

If they didn’t block this attack, their entire bodies would freeze, let alone worry about cold feet.

"Two elders, assist me!" Qingxu bellowed in a stifled voice.

Xuan Lu and Xuan Ling tacitly stepped back in unison, placing their hands on Qingxu’s back, channeling a continuous flow of True Qi into his body.

Despite the absence of Xuan Jie, who specialized in "Xuanwu Sea Control," Qingxu himself was a practitioner of all Four Symbols. Though slightly unbalanced, he forcefully transformed the energy, and the Four Symbols Cycle’s Qi Shield timely enveloped all three of them.

The True Qi dual dragons, upon colliding with the Four Symbols Qi Cycle’s shield, merged with the surrounding golden mist, forming a spiral that continuously revolved around and compressed inward toward the Four Symbols Qi Shield.

"Azure Dragon Star Coiling!" Feeling the familiar squeezing force of the spiral, Qingxu immediately thought of his most proficient martial arts technique. This power closely resembled the "Azure Dragon Star Coiling."

No, not just resembled—it was indeed part of the "Azure Dragon Star Coiling" incorporated into the way he controlled the Dragon Swarming Qi, enhancing its potency.

Qingxu now deeply regretted not stopping Chen Qinglin in time, at least substituting a fake secret manual would have been a good idea. Without two-thirds of the "Azure Dragon Star Coiling," Gong Ziyu might not have even dodged the initial move "Heavenly Yan Four Symbols Palm" and would have already descended to hell.

Actually, it was presumptuous of Qingxu to think so. Let alone whether a fake manual could deceive Qing Yu, just the previously used incomplete move "Heavenly Yan Four Symbols Palm" alone, while it was difficult for Qing Yu to break, was not impossible.

The worst method, using "Unity" to forcefully confront it, could break this cunningly cultivated "Heavenly Yan Four Symbols Palm."

"pff—"

While regretting, Qingxu suddenly felt the Four Symbols Qi Shield shake, and under the pull of the Qi mechanism, he couldn’t help but spit out red pill, staining the front of his robe red.

"Master Qingxu, focus on gathering your energy, do not be distracted," Xuan Ling urgently called out.

It happened that, at such a life-and-death moment, Qingxu was still preoccupied with regret, causing the already unstable cycle system of the Four Symbols True Qi to almost collapse, almost breached by the Dragon Swarming Qi.

Qingxu also realized his previous foolish act and, without time for regret, hurriedly manipulated his True Qi to stabilize this lifesaving protective shield of True Qi.

With the three working wholeheartedly together, the Qi Shield formed by the Four Symbols Qi finally stabilized, though it continued to shrink slowly, it ultimately did not harm the lives of Qingxu and the others.

Finally, the two golden True Qi Divine Dragons that were circling around the Four Symbols Qi Shield emitted a silent roar before suddenly dissipating, merging into one with the golden clouds.

Qingxu felt the Qi Shield loosen, the pressure gone, and finally, he breathed a sigh of relief in his heart.

"It should be that Gong Ziyu’s True Qi has run out."

"Such a powerfully shocking move could not possibly be sustained continually by someone like Gong Ziyu who had just recently advanced to Divine Origin; we have finally waited for our chance of victory," Xuan Ling and Xuan Lu said one after another.

However, unlike their relief, Qingxu, who had exchanged blows with Gong Ziyu, always harbored significant doubts about the amount of Gong Ziyu’s True Qi.

Gong Ziyu’s True Qi was too much, no, it recovered too quickly.

Being similarly focused on Qi Cultivation, Qingxu could profoundly understand the highly abnormal speed of Gong Ziyu’s True Qi recovery. Such a recovery rate couldn’t possibly...

Before Qingxu could think further, the sole remaining piece of ice beneath his feet suddenly cracked open, and a figure wearing a bronze mask leaped up.

"Scatter."

Qingxu pushed Xuan Lu and Xuan Ling away with one palm, while he himself stood on a small, intact piece of ice, gliding smoothly backward under the thrust of his True Qi.

The water beneath Qing Yu’s feet parted smoothly, as if an invisible force was cleaving through, letting Qing Yu emerge without a single droplet of water on him.

The Yin Yang Family’s "Supreme Water" allowed Qing Yu to move underwater as comfortably as he would on land.

At that moment, Qing Yu held the ’Shark Teeth’ sword in his right hand, while his left hand gathered True Qi into a flame-like colorless light sphere. The light sphere extended along his palm, forming a colorless Qi Blade.

This was the Yin Yang Family’s secret technique "Gathering Energy into a Blade"; the Qi Blade formed from True Qi was comparable to the edge of swords and could significantly increase its power as more True Qi was channeled into it.

Qing Yu positioned the ’Shark Teeth’ sword horizontally in front of his chest, and the Qi Blade vertically, using dual techniques from the Visible Meridians and Hidden Meridians that went back to the same origin but were fundamentally opposite.

"Vertical Sword, Horizontal Sword, Dual Swords as one."

"Zongheng Baihe."
