Chapter 471: Chapter 283: Lightning Strike

With that said, Pang Ban’s qi mechanism surged again, drawing the substantial Heaven and Earth Primordial Qi into his body, adding even more might to his strength.

"To break the undying, it will depend on your abilities," he said.

The Golden Bell Shield suddenly appeared around Qing Yu, its resplendent golden bell resonating with bursts of bell sounds before sinking back into Qing Yu’s body, hidden beneath the skin, occasionally flashing a streak of golden light.

Protected by the Golden Bell Shield, Qing Yu’s endurance greatly increased, as well as the flexibility of the Undying Seal Technique, making his upper limit far higher compared to Shi Zhixuan, who had never specialized in Body Refining Martial Arts.

The Life and Death qi swirled on the surface of his body. In their renewed clash, the divine might of the Undying Seal Technique was even more astonishing, with Life and Death qi cycling, True Qi colliding, creating boundless formidable power.

"Boom—"

Another loud boom resounded, yet this time, the roar did not come from their confrontation but from the heavens above.

At some unknown time, a swath of dark clouds had gathered, gradually obscuring the moon hanging in the night sky.

"Thunder?"

In the original story, before the decisive battle between Pang Ban and Lang Fanyun, the qi mechanism between the two resonated with Heaven and Earth, causing thunder clouds to appear inexplicably in the sky, but for Qing Yu and Pang Ban, it was not possible that they would induce thunder simply through their qi mechanism.

It wasn’t that Qing Yu was too weak, but in fact, their apparent location above Alanjiang Island was entirely constructed by the system.

The rules of this space were completely adapted to the outside world and wholly different from the world of Yellow Martial Arts.

Qing Yu and Pang Ban could never induce thunder in this world with its extremely high limits just by sensing with their qi mechanism, and their decisive battle would not possibly reach the extent of shattering the void.

However, while sensing with the qi mechanism might not work, their powerful qi force attacks could potentially trigger thunder and lightning.

Pang Ban’s Dao Heart Demon Planting Great Method was precisely about absorbing the essence of Heaven and Earth, greatly influencing the external environment. And Qing Yu’s Circulation of the Six Voids Technique was also a martial art that had no small impact on the surroundings. In their struggle, it was not impossible to cause the appearance of thunder.

After the appearance of the dark clouds, the full moon in the sky was covered, and Lanjiang Island became completely dark, so dark that one couldn’t see their own fingers.

However, with martial arts prowess like Pang Ban and Qing Yu’s, they had long been able to see in the dark night, especially Qing Yu, who possessed the Void Eye and the Heavenly Son’s Qi Observation Skill, with superior eyesight far beyond ordinary people. This darkness could not stop their battle; instead, it made the fight even more urgent and fierce.

Qing Yu’s hands moved with numerous palm shadows, the Life and Death qi continuously circulating, borrowing the power of Pang Ban, and then...

’It’s the limit.’

A glint of sharpness flashed in his eyes as the True Qi surging in Qing Yu’s palms suddenly soared uncontrollably, its might surpassing even the force of Pang Ban’s punches.

Undying Seven Illusions·Waiting for the Opportunity.

In the continuous exchange of blows, the remaining force was accumulated by Qing Yu using this technique, and now, it finally erupted.

The hand power was like tens of thousands of weights, as if a great mountain was pressing down. The immense pressure built up from before, combined with Qing Yu’s own strength, made the technique so potent that even the godlike and demonic Pang Ban was forced to retreat three steps, blood trickling from the corner of his mouth.

Since the beginning of their fight, it was the first time Pang Ban had been injured, while Qing Yu had not yet sustained any damage.

’I really have become stronger.’

Qing Yu watched Pang Ban’s retreating figure, contemplating in his heart.

If it were the past, he would have had to die more than ten times at the hands of a boss like this just to barely make his opponent sustain an injury, but this time, he was able to injure his opponent on the first try, an unprecedented leap forward.

"Truly an extraordinary opponent," said Pang Ban as he wiped the blood from the corner of his mouth, the Infinite Primordial Qi again flowing into his body, healing his wounds, and causing his might to surge once more.

As long as his body could withstand it, the abilities of the Taoist Embryo and Demon Body would allow him to endlessly absorb the Heaven and Earth Primordial Qi and take in unlimited essence.

Pang Ban struck again, and the invisible pressure was even more immense, his aura continuously bearing down on Qing Yu, the entire atmosphere seeming as if it were being compressed, condensing to an unbearable point.

No, not seeming, it was being compressed.

"Tibetan Secret Wisdom Book," Qing Yu voiced the source of this technique.

Belonging to the martial art passed down by Pang Ban’s master, ’Demon Sect’ Meng Chixing, it was a miraculous Divine Skill capable of converting spiritual power into matter. Meng Chixing had used it to roam the world unchecked, no one able to oppose him.

Um...

At least, it was so before he met Chuan Ying.

Suddenly, an invisible force from all directions pressed the air and firmly pinned Qing Yu within it, like an insect trapped in amber.

After that, Pang Ban threw a punch.

An unadorned punch, yet it was mysteriously subtle, fully demonstrating transformation and connecting both Dao and devil.

"Boom—"

"Crack—"

Just as Pang Ban launched this punch, the dark clouds in the sky finally thundered and discharged lightning. The island that should have been shrouded in darkness by the clouds was once again illuminated.

Amidst the thunder and lightning, Pang Ban’s fist seemed as swift as lightning itself. Although it appeared extremely slow, it reached Qing Yu’s face in an instant, aiming a punch straight at his heart.

If this strike were to land, without a doubt, today’s decisive battle would come to an end.

If a punch with all of Pang Ban’s strength and the additional Infinite Heaven and Earth Primordial Qi could still be blocked by the Undying Seal Technique, then Shi Zhixuan might consider shattering the void.

As the fist approached, at that very moment, Qing Yu’s eyes widened, the Three Elements united as one, and in an instant, heaven and earth were unlike before, power unlike the past.

Ten Thousand Rivers and Autumn Waters.

Qi Force burst forth explosively, a strong repulsive force originating from within Qing Yu’s body, eradicating the invisible resistance behind him.

And then,

Undying Seven Illusions·Transforming Existence into Nothingness.

His figure vanished like a bubble’s shadow; Pang Ban’s punch struck only a lingering image.

"Boom—"

The sky thundered again, and lightning crackled. In the fleeting light, a white shadow appeared in the air.

It was Qing Yu.

At this moment, Qing Yu’s snow-white long hair spread out, like feathers lifting his body into the air.

He raised both hands high, his hands exuding Thunder Light, sparks of electricity glittering.

"This is..." For the first time, a look of shock appeared on Pang Ban’s face.

"Crack—"

Lightning struck again, and this time, the Heavenly Thunder rolled incessantly, not fleeting but guided by the electric light in Qing Yu’s hands, thunderously striking downwards at Pang Ban.

"Heavenly Thunder Dazhuang."

Thunder in the heavens, and upon its strike, the wound is inflicted.

Guided by Qing Yu’s Heavenly Son’s Qi Observation Technique, Pang Ban had no chance to detect the trajectory in advance, to dodge beforehand.

And after the move was executed, he could no longer evade.

This was natural lightning, not Thunder and Lightning produced by a Martial Artist’s True Qi. Its speed reached that of light, and even if Pang Ban’s strength were doubled, he could not avoid it.

"Crack—"

As the lightning struck his body, Pang Ban’s once crystal-clear skin turned completely blackened, no longer displaying the previously sinister charm, utterly a black man.

It seemed he had been electrocuted into charcoal.

But that was just the appearance.

After all, Pang Ban’s mentor, Meng Chixing, suffered a lightning strike and still lived quite well for another thirty years.

Qing Yu swiftly waved his hands, operating both Visible and Hidden Meridians simultaneously, creating currents of Qi Rings in front of him, stirring the energies of life and death, at least a thousand of them.
