Chapter 458: Sparring II

Chapter 458: Sparring II

The twins turned their heads, looked at each other as they both kissed the floor. Their eyes filled with information mixed with the certain and apparent shock they held within their hearts. The two talked without words, and without any hesitation, their hostility shot up.

Wang Ling was no longer someone they could hope to treat softly. Their cultivation subsequently increased and lifted themselves from the ground. They looked at Wang Ling's eyes, only to see disappointment.

"Valiant attempt, but you two don't seem to understand I am not going easy on the two of them you.:"

BoOM! Wang Ling brought them back down, the floor getting more damaged. The twins could feel the invasive qi entering their system and following their ever-growing disoriented mind, white flames quickly threatened to dominate them.

Their eyes were shortly blinded and the minor hostility they held against him turned to complete and utter intention to eliminate Wang Ling. Both moved, held Wang Ling's arm with one hand, and then used the other to break snap his bones.

Fwu! BOOM! 

The flames shot to the side and as did so, Yuan Qing and Yuan Ming slipped off his grasps. Their hands turned to dangerous weapons. They moved quickly; their eyes already bent on taking him down at all cost. Their cultivation already passed Rank-5 and into that of an Ascended being.

"Black Water Palm Technique: Twin Golden God Palms" their hands moved quickly, cerulean and black qi swirled and enveloped their hands. Unimaginably pure qi shot out and threatened the life of one man. Wang Ling's head was about to turn to paste.

"Sir Wang Ling!"

"All-Father!"

Qinyang and Roan attempted to warn and get to Wang Ling fearing for his safety, only to have their collars pulled back by a carefree Chang Ping, "Stop, don't get in between the Master's fun." 

Wang Ling's eyes moved quickly; he pulled his head back in response. 

BAM!

Their palms clashed with one another, Wang Ling took the full brunt of the shockwave, leaving him staggering four steps back with his eyes closed shut. The perfect opportunity showed for the twins to finish him off.

They appeared right before him, planted their feet to the ground.

"Black Water Palm Technique: Droplet." Their movements slowed down, but the force gathering on around their palms roared. Their qis move, the unique force of a Deity surrounded him, and then, it turned everything into the suffocating water and the latching darkness. They intended to kill him.

With his eyes still closed, Wang Ling raised his broken hands, white flames devoured him from within and activated a different kind of qi. The Phoenix within him cried out, four golden rings appeared from behind the back of his head and the vitality boost he received was enough to instantly heal both arms.

The twins moving ever so slowly, saw white light gathered on the center of Wang Ling's palms, "Heavenly Flames: Devouring Serpent."

Flames flickered and came out of his very palms. The flames transformed into serpents with an opened maw that dragged the twins away from Wang Ling by the head. When their hands finally reached its destination, only the force it carried hit Wang Ling's abdomen.

That shockwave, however, had enough force to send Wang Ling crashing several steps backward with three broken ribs, [I can't imagine that hitting me directly on the stomach.] Wang Ling could see how that could kill him. The two were serious in trying to defeat him.

With his arms raised, he tried his best to control the flames. The twins could feel it, the strength the serpents had was beyond what they thought. Its form did not dissipate despite being anything more than five meters away from him.

The flames were not sentience, but thanks to Angel, their form did not crumble as she flew around the two serpents maintaining them. The twins increased their cultivation once more to pry its maw open, they landed on the ground, gently, their hair billowing.

They were silent, they concluded nothing, but they radiated hostility as they grew more and more irritated by him. This fight had gone long enough. They took a stance as they gathered their qi, their bodies trembled, "It would be best if you dodge this. You will die if you do not."

"Do you two plans on killing the All-Father in a spar?"

"Why, do you want us to go easy on you?" they said at the same time as their qi grew once more.

"Haha hold back and you two will regret it."

This time, they moved even slower than before, but a powerful swirl of qi formed around them. Wang Ling failed to approach her and his powerful flames became nothing more than a flicker against the twins.

Powerful and almost seemed to be an instant kill even against Wang Ling, this time, even Chang Ping felt that the simple spar had gone too far. She let go of the two as she two with the others got ready to intercept.

"STOP! This is just a friendly spar." Wang Ling, said with a chuckle, "You twins really plan on putting me on a comatose as the least destructive ending, huh."

"Is that no what you want?" they said in a chorus, the force surrounding them increasing more and more by the second. After ten beats, the wind around them was virtually impregnable. 

Wang Ling saw this and brought out Heaven's Edge. Wang Ling raised his sword with both hands, "I'll respond in kind then. I'll throw your words back to you you will die."

No one backed down.

Wang Ling and the twins waited, and waited, until the opportune moment to strike appeared.

"Black Water Palm Technique: Tortoise' Rage."

BOOM!

"Twilight Sword: World Asunder."

SLASH!

A blue qi mixed with darkness tried to swallow Wang Ling's clear white sword slash.

Two techniques clashed!

The wind howled and the eyes of the onlookers clouded.

BOOM!

Smoke filled the water dome that promptly disappeared in a few seconds.

The clouds of dust disappeared and from inside was Wang Ling, with blood flowing out from his head. His right hand was crushed, bones sticking hand, but, he was still holding the sword.

He looked terrible, but he stood before the twins, who had an arm severed from their bodies. Yuan Qing lost her left, while Yuan Ming her right, and before them was Wang Ling holding a sword to their necks despite the crushed right hand.

"And with that I win. Now, we are even." Wang Ling said remembering how he was at the mercy of the twins back at the Silver Blade World.

The twins looked at Wang Ling with slanted eyes, "We would've won if we didn't pull back at the last second!" they argued.

"And you would have been dead if I didn't alter my sword by ten centimeters." Wang Ling answered as the twins pouted.

He laughed as he smiled and picked up their severed arm, "Okay, that is enough, come on, let me help you reattach your arms."

"Thank you, but please make sure to only use little Holy Qi, it hurts to have the qi of the Origin Race." Yuan Qing said as she sniffled.

Yuan Ming nodded as accepted Wang Ling's help.

Wang Ling smiled and looked at his right arm, he closed his eyes and summoned his Holy Qi to instantly heal his broken arm.

"Hoooh, Master's healing factor is growing stronger, congratulations.": Chang Ping said as she helped the twins hold their arms in place.

"It is, isn't it?" Wang Ling said that he saw Qinyang looking at him with judging eyes from the corner of his eyes.

[Hooh, is it because she took a lot of my holy qi that she could tell that it is different?] Wang Ling thought to himself as he mouthed off to her, 'Keep it a secret.'

This sparring helped Wang Ling in several ways. 

His strength was regulated, his skills sharpened, and he confirmed he could fight a pinnacle Rank-6 cultivator that's on the same caliber as a holding back Deity.

Lastly, [The new Holy Qi sure works like wonder.]
