Chapter 999: Defeating Rong Li
Translator: Noodletown Translated Editor: Noodletown Translated
Boom!
The white light beam and the volcano shadow crashed together with a loud boom, creating a big black hole which vanished instantly.
Deng, deng!!
They both took one step back, as neither of them could gain the upper hand.
Qingfeng Li narrowed his eyes, surprised that Rong Li had blocked the third Volcanic Sword Technique, which had been able to conquer all the enemies he had met so far.
Rong Li was also astonished that Qingfeng Li could stand up against the attack from Frost Ice Mirror, an earth-grade upper-level spiritual device.
They looked at each other grimly. With narrowed eyes, Qingfeng Li weighed his options since he had not played his best cards yet, the Conqueror's Finger and Fire Dragon Fist.
He didn't use those techniques because they were too aggressive; the Conqueror's Finger could slice a person into two halves and the Fire Dragon Fist would burn one into ashes.
His purpose was to help Flower Fairy gain the title of Saintess, not kill people. If he killed someone, he would instantly lose all cordiality with the palace and Flower Fairy would never get the title.
Woosh!
Rong Li infused her vital essence energy into the mirror and another beam of white light tore through the air and shot at Qingfeng Li.
"Volcanic Explosion." Qingfeng Li struck out with the third Volcanic Sword Technique and a huge volcano condensed from vital essence smashed toward the white beam.
Boom!
The white beam and the volcano mirage collided again with each other, releasing huge amounts of energy but ending in a draw.
They looked at each other grimly, knowing that neither could win the battle with spiritual devices of the same level.
They put away their weapons and turned to self-cultivation techniques.
"Frost Ice Palm!" Rong Li pushed out her right palm abruptly, which transformed into a white chilling glacier mirage, turning the surrounding air into frost as it slammed towards Qingfeng Li's heart.
The Frost Ice Palm was a powerful spirit-grade advanced-level self-cultivation technique, very close to the earth-grade self-cultivation technique.
A huge white hole appeared wherever it went and in a blink of eye it was upon Qingfeng Li with a sharp whistling sound.
"Strangle Hell Fist." Qingfeng Li activated his Mortal Purgatory Body, a set of immortal-grade fist techniques with which one could withstand the terrors of hell.
A huge fist the size of a small hill condensed from vital essence energy, smashing into the Frost Ice Palm and forcing Rong Li to retreat four to five meters.
Rong Li felt some numbness and pain in her palm and saw a trace of blood on the back of her hand.
Wounded. I was wounded. Looking at her palm, Rong Li's mind was full of disbelief since she was a fighter of the pinnacle-stage of the True Spirit Realm, two stages higher than Qingfeng Li.
The only explanation was that her self-cultivation techniques were less powerful than Qingfeng Li's.
Rong Li had no choice but to use the Frost Ice Mirror again.
At the sight of the mirror, Qingfeng Li drew his Fiery Sword since his Strangle Hell Fist was no match for it at his present stage.
Swoosh!
For the third time, Rong Li shot out a white light beam which was again blocked by the Red Fiery Sword.
The first elder, who was standing on the sideline, frowned, knowing that Rong Li would never beat Qingfeng Li with the same level spiritual device as him.
"Rong Li, you can break the seal on it by putting a drop of blood onto the mirror and tossing it into the air," the first elder instructed Rong Li.
At her master's words, Rong Li bit into her finger and dropped one drop of blood onto the Frost Ice Mirror before tossing it into the air.
Boom!
Emitting a burning beam of light, Frost Ice Mirror rotated in the air and released an overwhelmingly powerful presence.
Heaven-grade spiritual device! It was a heaven-grade spiritual device!
Qingfeng Li was horrified. He had heard from the Dark Night Emperor that only heaven-grade spiritual devices could levitate.
He also knew that the Red Fiery Sword was no match for the Frost Ice Mirror with only the second seal broken, but as a middle-stage True Spirit Realm fighter, he could not break the third seal on the sword.
"It seems that I have to play my best card." Qingfeng Li decided to use the Conqueror's Finger.
"One Finger Splits All," He channeled the vital essence energy in his meridians into his finger tip.
He extended his right index finger abruptly and shot a beam of blue light, which ripped through the air in front of him and sliced into the Frost Ice Mirror with an incredibly violent force.
Crack!
With a crisp sound, a crack appeared on the mirror, which dimmed and then dropped onto the ground.
Qingfeng Li felt a pang of regret because his present cultivation level of the Conqueror's Finger could only slice open people and spiritual devices beneath the Earthly Spirit Realm while the full power of the strongest Conqueror's Finger technique had the ability to hack apart anything in the world.
Since the Frost Ice Mirror was already a heaven-grade spiritual device, he could only leave a crack on it instead of hacking it into two halves.
However, with a crack on it, the Frost Ice Mirror had lost its battle power.
What?! The Frost Ice Mirror was cracked! Rong Li looked as if she had seen a ghost. She had just broken the seal on the mirror with her blood and turned it into a heaven-grade spiritual device.
Even the Sect Master of the Hundred-Flower Palace, a master of the Earthly Spirit realm, could not have been able to block the attack from a heaven-grade spiritual device. How did Qingfeng Li do it as a mere middle-stage True Spirit realm fighter?
While she was still dazed with shock, Qingfeng Li move swiftly and kicked her on the bottom, sending her off the arena.
According to the rules, anyone who leaves the arena would lose the match.
"Rong Li, you lost," with his hands crossed behind his back, Qingfeng Li looked at Rong Li under the arena and announced arrogantly.
Lost, I lost. Paled, Rong Li was dazed with shock and excruciating pain.
