Chapter 217: Chapter 212: Southern Dipper Sword
"Old Snakehead, your brat just doesn’t cut it," sneered Old Tigermonster with a mix of sarcasm and amusement.
The revered ancestor of the Reflecting Serpent Clan didn’t reply. Others might not be able to see the scene inside the Illusion Realm, but he could see everything crystal clear. Leaving aside Liang Yi’s mastery of Ancestor Thunder which specialized in subduing them for a moment, even his exquisite Swordsmanship indeed had a bit of the grace of the Banished Immortal of yesteryears.
His own youngster losing to such a character was not an injustice at all!
The Serpent Clan’s ancestor glanced at Old Tigermonster, who was watching the spectacle. Laugh all you want now, but soon you’ll have your turn to cry.
After the first round of the battle, he was almost certain that Liang Yi was truly worthy of being that man’s disciple. The Demon Clan members on the mountain would probably have a tough time winning. This time, if they aimed to recoup some interest from this lad and to decide who was the foremost youth of the current Demon Clan, things seemed rather dicey.
Now, in the first round, his own youngster had employed the Illusion Realm, so others couldn’t judge Liang Yi’s true strength, thinking it was merely Yuanqing’s weakness that was the cause of his defeat. They even ridiculed him openly.
But he wouldn’t tell this bunch the truth. Their faces would all change later on.
At the waist of the mountain, Liang Yi himself felt that his win was nothing more than normal, devoid of any sense of achievement.
But then a thought suddenly struck him.
Could it be that since he mentioned he was in a hurry, the young Serpent Clan member didn’t bother with a testing phase and just went all out from the get-go?
As Liang Yi walked, he fell into deep thought, considering maybe he should invite him for a meal to express his appreciation if that were the case.
"Whoosh!"
A forceful punch was thrown directly at Liang Yi’s face, but a preoccupied Liang Yi easily dodged it with a turn of his head.
The punch struck the rock wall beside Liang Yi, creating a bottomless hole without any sign of fracturing the wall, concentrating all the force at that single point.
Liang Yi looked up to see a yellow-robed and haughty young man leaning against the stone wall with tiger ears on his head and a tiger tail flicking behind him. The black "King" character on his forehead was particularly attention-grabbing. Now, he was looking down at Liang Yi with a disdainful gaze.
"I am..." As the proud young man straightened up to introduce himself to Liang Yi, intending to have a real man-to-man fistfight, Liang Yi mercilessly cut him off.
"Stop, no blabbering, you wanna fight, right? Hurry up!"
The cold and merciless Liang Yi didn’t give a damn who the young man was, what his name was, or which sect he belonged to. To him, they were just a bunch of guys asking for a beating, that’s all.
Tigermonster clenched his tiger claws tightly, utterly taken aback by Liang Yi’s arrogance. Didn’t he know the saying about pride before a fall?
"Hmph! Then I’ll just have to knock you down before telling you!" said Tigermonster. As he moved his arms naturally, adopting a ready stance.
Though still in human shape without any transformation, in Liang Yi’s eyes, the young man had already become the king of all beasts, roaring through the forests, intimidating the world!
The formless oppression of the King of Beasts swept over Liang Yi’s body, aiming to intimidate him, but alas, Liang Yi felt nothing.
"Level 47 Body Cultivation, huh? Two levels higher than Zhu Yuanqing," Liang Yi mused, unfazed by the young man’s stance.
Whether it was Zhu Yuanqing or Tigermonster, or any of the other Demon Clan Young Masters, Liang Yi wasn’t unfamiliar with them. They might be seeing Liang Yi for the first time, but this was not Liang Yi’s first time observing them.
In his previous life, almost all the information about these people had been thoroughly researched by players. Perhaps their levels weren’t as high as in his past life, but their combat styles would hardly change.
The majority of the Heavenly Roar Illusion Tiger Clan pursued Body Cultivation due to their innate tiger spirit, which made cultivating their bodies as natural as a fish takes to water. Given enough purity in their bloodline, they would rarely hit an insurmountable bottleneck.
And this Tigermonster was the current generation’s young master of the Tiger Clan. Recognized as the undisputed Demon Clan Young Master in his previous life.
As for the offspring of the Demon Emperor, Liang Yi hadn’t heard of them. Maybe no player received such a quest during the beta testing in his previous life? Or maybe Elder Qing never found the elixir?
While Liang Yi was lost in his musings, Tigermonster could no longer stand it. He realized his opponent wasn’t confronting him. He was daydreaming!
This was no longer mere contempt. This was disparagement!
"Roar!!"
A tiger’s roar filled the air, full of rage, vowing to make Liang Yi pay for his arrogance.
A massive tiger shadow rearing its head to roar at the sky enveloped Tigermonster as he lunged forward. The beastification on his body intensified, and he now looked like a half-tiger half-human creature.
His speed accelerated once more, and despite the lack of leverage in mid-air, Tigermonster’s speed increased abruptly by a level.
Newton’s coffin lid was blown away!
A colossal force surged from the Qinglu Sword, forcing Liang Yi to retreat several steps. Before Liang Yi could react, the tiger cultivator let out a ferocious smile and slammed his other paw directly onto Liang Yi’s chest, sending him flying.
Droplets of blood fluttered in the air before falling to the ground.
"Cough cough!"
Liang Yi coughed repeatedly, glancing at the Qinglu Sword, grateful it was still holding up.
The crowd on the mountaintop grew excited upon seeing the blood—was this fellow injured? Yue Bai’s eyes were full of concern, hoping that her master was unharmed.
"No, that’s not right! The blood is the tiger cultivator’s," a voice rang out.
Everyone hurriedly looked and realized it was true.
Liang Yi had only coughed a few times and did not vomit blood as everyone anticipated. Instead, the tiger cultivator looked down at his own sliced paw in disbelief.
Their body cultivation made every muscle in their bodies as tough as a Magical Treasure, which otherwise wouldn’t have allowed them to clash head-on with other cultivators, but now Liang Yi had managed to injure him?
The tiger cultivator felt a deep sense of wariness in his heart.
Liang Yi revealed a grin; he was someone who only enjoyed the sweet and refused to suffer needlessly. Expecting him to take a beating without resistance? Then have a taste of his sword first!
Despite the fierce pain in his organs from the tiger cultivator’s palm strike, only a few breaths passed before Qinglian Creation had nearly healed him.
Liang Yi took a deep breath and initiated an attack.
With one sword strike, the Big Sun towered in the sky! He engaged in a fierce battle with the tiger cultivator.
Body cultivators are best at ditch-and-exchange tactics, but Liang Yi fought in much the same way.
With Qinglian Creation, his recovery speed was even stronger than a body cultivator! Moreover, his sword techniques, empowered with Sword Births All Techniques Sword Intent, could break through the tiger cultivator’s defense.
The tiger cultivator clenched his teeth; despite the increasing number of wounds on his body, the dignity of a body cultivator and the glory of the king of the forest did not allow him to give up.
The fight between Liang Yi and the tiger cultivator, fuelled by the thrill of bloodshed, intensified, shaking Zhaoqing Mountain to its core.
If it weren’t for the suppression from the powerful elders on the mountaintop, the two might have already destroyed the mountain.
The tiger cultivator hailed from the Heavenly Roar Illusion Tiger clan, mastering various body techniques at the snap of a finger, with roars and illusions to boot.
The soul-targeting roar gave the upper hand to Liang Yi but always mysteriously caused him to pause, giving the tiger cultivator a chance to catch his breath. The illusions, appearing out of nowhere with the same force as the original, were even more unpredictable.
However, even after the tiger cultivator unleashed his Innate Divine Ability, it barely brought him back to an even footing, never allowing him to gain any further advantage.
The youth in front of him fluidly executed countless sword techniques, like a celestial steed traversing the skies or an antelope hanging by its horns, never appearing rigid. He always chose the most appropriate sword technique at the most critical moment.
Moreover, his movement techniques were astounding; the ethereal Kunpeng occasionally shrieking was even able to overpower his roar.
Tianfu, Tianliang, Heavenly Mechanism, Tiantong, Tian Xiang...
Liang Yi silently counted. In such a tight close-quarters situation, killing was even unable to absorb the essence of heaven and earth, so Liang Yi could only resort to another tactic.
At Cold Moon Temple’s Sword Pond, with the help of Moonlight and the sword marks on the stone walls, combined with the Daoist Enlightenment from leveling up, and the Sword Immortal Realm comprehension from Sword Births All Techniques, he learned: Southern Dipper!
Risking getting smashed by punches from the tiger cultivator, Liang Yi’s sword technique flowed like the Milky Way, continuous and unending. He marked the first five stars of the Southern Dipper constellation on various parts of the tiger cultivator’s body.
"Killing Qi."
As Liang Yi silently invoked the final sword, the starlight symbolizing Killing Qi appeared on the tiger cultivator.
The five starlights, previously mixed among other sword strikes and marked on the tiger cultivator, began to glow, but the tiger cultivator had no idea when Liang Yi had made his move.
"This is..."
The tiger cultivator was stunned.
The six stars gathered, and the Southern Dipper Star Map emerged.
"Not good!!" The tiger elder on the mountain top yelled out, and an Elixir materialized from his hand, instantly appearing on the tiger cultivator’s forehead.
A mysterious fluctuation spread throughout the tiger cultivator’s body, and sword light emerged from the Star Map. The Star Map burst like a silver flask, and a torrent of Sword Qi seemed ready to tear the tiger cultivator apart.
The next second, the tiger cultivator rolled his eyes and collapsed, unconscious to the ground. The Elixir on his forehead shattered, leaving only fragments on the spot.
Seeing this scene, everyone on the mountaintop fell into silence.
