Chapter 452: Chapter 264: Against Shi Zhixuan

Hitting a stone with an egg, the egg breaks the stone.

The two had similar Martial Arts abilities, and Shi Zhixuan, having borrowed the Reflexive Attack strength and added his own True Qi, was about to break Qing Yu’s Golden Bell Shield with a move.

But that was not the end; after one palm strike, Shi Zhixuan transformed his palm into a finger, casting a myriad of finger shadows that enveloped Qing Yu.

Although the person was in front of Qing Yu, the finger shadows came from all directions, completely surrounding Qing Yu.

Undying Seven Illusions·Generalization.

With Generalization, among the myriad finger shadows, only one was real, but all could become real.

The Undying Seal Technique was a peak Illusion Technique, and the Undying Seven Illusions was even a breakthrough of this already peak Illusion Technique, allowing Shi Zhixuan’s moves to be whimsical and unpredictable, blurring the real with the illusory, reaching a supernatural realm.

Even if Qing Yu could see through the illusion with the Heavenly Son’s Qi Observation Skill, Shi Zhixuan could still change his move in time and attack from another direction.

However, between changes of moves, there were always gaps to be exploited.

Raising his hand and bringing his fingers together, Qing Yu’s finger carried a strong wind, pointing at the true body that was identified by the Heavenly Son’s Qi Observation Skill.

Shi Zhixuan did not want to clash directly, changing his move and aiming at Qing Yu’s left rib; the finger shadow disappeared, becoming a palm force carrying the weight of tens of thousands of pounds, pressing a palm toward the heart area.

The palm force struck true as if hitting the empty space. Qing Yu’s figure, like a dream bubble, became intangible, then reappeared in the distance in the blink of an eye.

"There’s no self in this world; I am everywhere."

Harmonizing Light with Dust.

"Good, your Martial Arts indeed resonates with the mental realm of my ’Undying Seal Technique.’ Young man, you truly resemble me." Shi Zhixuan’s attack missed, but he showed no negative emotions; instead, he praised Qing Yu’s Harmonizing Light with Dust.

By this time, any anger he had just ignited had completely vanished, his eyes as cold as snow, void of any emotion, as if the enraged Shi Zhixuan was not him at all.

Even Qing Yu could not tell whether he had been acting or had truly been angry.

"Evil King, as a junior, I told you, resembling you would be a complete failure."

Qing Yu’s figure suddenly turned ethereal and vanished, to reappear surrounded by thunder and sharp electric light, flickering silver and white on his body, "Heavenly Thunder Without Prejudice."

Upper Qian, lower Zhen, thunder travels across Heaven and Earth, lightning bolts from a clear sky, surprises upon surprises.

This move that harnessed Electric Force was incredibly fast and covered by Circulating Sky Power, the vastness of heaven making it difficult for Shi Zhixuan to track Qing Yu’s movements.

With a burst of electric light, Qing Yu’s trajectory was too elusive for Shi Zhixuan, and the electric light in his palm posed a great threat.

"Zzt—"

A powerful stroke of thunder and lightning, without warning, struck Shi Zhixuan’s back.

However, it was at this moment that Qing Yu’s face changed drastically, "Not good."

Undying Seven Illusions·Testing the Law.

The lightning circled inside Shi Zhixuan’s body, then shot out again, striking Qing Yu.

Qing Yu was struck by his own Electric Force, paralyzing him for a moment.

In the original text, the Undying Seven Illusions were said to have seven illusions, yet not all were displayed, so Qing Yu was also unaware of the various truths and deceptions within them.

Meanwhile, the True Qi within Shi Zhixuan cycled between life and death endlessly, ever-changing and enigmatic, making it difficult for Qing Yu, even with his Heavenly Son’s Qi Observation Skill, to penetrate the Qi Mechanism and anticipate his opponent’s moves, staying one step ahead.

It could be said that Shi Zhixuan and Qing Yu were extremely incompatible.

Seizing the opportunity, Shi Zhixuan moved like a ghostly apparition, without any hint of movement, yet in the blink of an eye, he flashed to Qing Yu’s left side, his hands swiftly swinging, producing nearly a hundred Qi Rings interwoven with the energy of life and death in front of him.

These Qi Rings varied in size and angle, spinning in front of Shi Zhixuan, and although there was not much Qi Force leaking out, Qing Yu could sense their formidable power.

"Undying Seven Illusions·Returning Illusion to Reality."

Shi Zhixuan brought his fingers together to form a blade, and his arm moved like a Spiritual Snake through the center of these Qi Rings, slipping them onto his wrist as he stabbed his palm towards Qing Yu with urgency.

"——"

The techniques collided in utter silence.

What should have been a backlash from the Electric Force that left Qing Yu a step behind, at this moment, she brought her palms together in a feint; the pure and impure energies between them clashing, reluctant to integrate. This turbulent repelling force trapped Shi Zhixuan’s right hand, encircled by nearly a hundred Qi Rings, firmly within it.

Heaven and Earth Refusal.

The opposing and powerful force of Heaven and Earth trapping the technique of Returning Illusion to Reality, Qing Yu aimed to crush Shi Zhixuan’s wrist to dust with this torrential force.

"Think again."

Shi Zhixuan’s eyes suddenly widened as the Qi Rings around his wrist shot out in succession.

"Boom——"

One ring after another, the Qi Rings exploded, tearing apart the Heaven and Earth Refusal imbued with pure and impure energies.

Qi Force spraying in all directions, the scattering Qi Force sliced several wounds into both individuals, and the surging Qi waves forced them both to take steps back.

"Tap."

Qing Yu stamped her foot down fiercely to halt her momentum, his Hidden and Visible Meridians at work; Hidden Meridian using the Tribulation Power to transform into Circulating Power, healing internal injuries with the Earth Heaven Tai, while the Visible Meridian True Qi surged again, unfurling like a gust of wind toward Shi Zhixuan.

Simultaneously, Shi Zhixuan also stopped quickly, unleashing the Illusion Demon Body Method as Qi Rings of Life and Death successively bombarded the approaching Qing Yu.

"Harmonizing Light with Dust."

Qing Yu vanished, using Harmonizing Light with Dust to slip directly past the frontal attack.

But Shi Zhixuan’s Illusion Demon Body Method also possessed a similarity to Harmonizing Light with Dust, both disappearing at the same time, only to reappear simultaneously, their palms meeting again as Qi Force burst anew.

Figures flickered within the white expanse of the Inheritance Space, the only two distinct silhouettes in the area appeared everywhere in the space, fists and palms clashing, conjuring piercing Gang Winds, sweeping in all directions.

"Bang——"

"Boom——"

The struggle between them was relentless, True Qi flowing endlessly, as if there was never an end, sparring for at least a thousand moves without showing signs of Qi depletion.

Qing Yu had the Qi Dual Flow at her side while expending True Qi, she was also continuously absorbing the Heaven and Earth Primordial Qi, converting it into True Qi for replenishment.

At the same time, the Visible Meridian True Qi was utilized in battle, while the Hidden Pulse Tribulation Power transformed into True Qi for healing with the Earth Heaven Tai and Wind and Thunder Rebirth Method. The intricate manipulation of True Qi occurred incessantly within Qing Yu’s body.

Meanwhile, Shi Zhixuan’s Undying Seal Technique was a Divine Skill designed for prolonged combat; the rapid switch between life and death, Borrowing Strength to Transform - converting Death Qi into Life Qi. His True Qi was incessantly replenished, without any signs of exhaustion, not only using the opponent’s True Qi as his own, but also healing his wounds and recovering his Qi and blood.

After almost another hundred exchanges, Shi Zhixuan said abruptly, "Your injuries are becoming more severe. It seems your healing mental method is no longer effective."

Although he couldn’t sense the Hidden Meridian’s Tribulation Power, through the collision of True Qi during combat, he could sense that Qing Yu’s injuries were no longer recovering as before.

As for himself, his Undying Seal Technique was constantly in motion, turning death into life, with his Qi and blood True Qi unceasing. It seemed that the tide of victory was leaning towards Shi Zhixuan.

"That’s not necessarily true. After all, I’ve said that I won’t fail like you did." Even with worsening wounds, Qing Yu still had a hint of banter to undermine Shi Zhixuan and appeared unbothered by her injuries.

"If you want to mock my failure, then prove it with facts."

Shi Zhixuan’s True Qi grew more intense, the Life and Death Qi Force continuously cycling and accumulating, his techniques becoming increasingly majestic and powerful.

"Undying Seven Illusions·Waiting for the Tired."

During this ceaseless exchange, Shi Zhixuan was not idly waiting; he was accumulating a great momentum with the Undying Seven Illusions, preparing for the astonishing blow of a Shi Potian surprise attack.
