Chapter 833: Blossoming Flower, Descending Tree, and the Phenomenal Fight

Meanwhile, Nangong Mu was clenching his fists tightly as if he was struggling with some sort of complicated thoughts. He was even trembling a little.

“Some things need to be done even if they are wrong, isn’t it?” Chi Guyan looked at Nangong Mu and replied.

“I agree with you, but I’ve to insist on my standpoint.” Nangong Mu nodded and stopped asking because he had already raised the Green and Blue Dual Blade in his hands.

Chi Guyan didn’t say another word either and she slowly pulled out a longsword. It was an extremely ordinary sword that lacked any radiance, but when she wielded the sword, everyone felt their hearts trembling as if that was the sharpest weapon in the world.

All the surrounding disciples held their breath at this moment.

Although neither Chi Guyan nor Nangong Mu said ‘Let’s begin’, they all knew that the fight had already commenced.

The clash of their auras didn’t last too long.

Nangong Mu eventually moved first, but he wasn’t as when he attacked Qiu Jingfeng. He was as calm as un unnoticeable snowflake in winter.

However, he was moving so quickly that he appeared in front of Chi Guyan in the blink of an eye. The Green and Blue Dual Blade also floated towards her.

His sword seemed slow, but it was actually extremely fast.

There wasn’t much radiance, but there was a snowflake on each of the dual blades. The snowflakes were crystal-clear and void of any contamination.

At this moment, Chi Guyan’s sword also moved.

Her sword was calm too, but it managed to reach Nangong Mu’s throat before his sword could reach her.

She was using offense as defense, or, in other words, she was fighting to achieve mutual assured destruction. It was the same tactic that Qiu Jingfeng used just now.

However, it was Chi Guyan’s turn now.

“Why is senior sister...”

“Senior sister, watch out!”

All the disciples of Heaven Dao Pavilion were nervous to see this because that was how Qiu Jingfeng lost the fight.

The disciples from other sects also took a deep breath subconsciously at this moment.

‘Risking her life right from the beginning?’

It seemed too lunatic.

Clang! Everyone was so anxious that they almost forgot to breathe when they heard the sound of metal clashing.

This was because the same thing that happened in the fight with Qiu Jingfeng was happening again. A crystal-clear flower as white as snow had appeared in front of Chi Guyan’s sword.

Moreover, it successfully stopped her sword.

However, Nangong Mu’s Green and Blue Dual Blade weren’t stopping. They were less than an inch away from her.

“Is this the end?!”

“Is Chi Guyan losing to Nangong Mu as well?”

“Is the fight going to end so quickly?”

Everyone thought of the same thing almost simultaneously. Although it seemed unbelievable, it was about to become reality.

However, at this critical moment, Chi Guyan suddenly leaped into the air and charged towards Nangong Mu’s dual blade.

“What is Chi Guyan doing!”

This was the first thought that crossed everyone’s mind. However, everyone was soon shocked to their cores.

That was because Chi Guyan wasn’t struck by the Green and Blue Dual Blade.

It appeared as if she went in between his hands, or rather, his swords. She turned into a stream of pink light and landed behind Nangong Mu after going over his head.

Boom!

Chi Guyan smacked Nangong Mu’s back and sent him crashing onto the ground.

It was a strange scene.

No one understood what had happened until they saw the snow-white flower that was still in mid-air.

“She made use of the flower’s strength!”

“That’s right. Because the tip of her sword was pressing against the flower, she was able to use that as a pivot to control her movements in the air accurately and evade Nangong Mu’s dual blade!”

“That’s fearsome. What’s the thought process... No, it isn’t just the thought process. It’s her confidence as well. Only someone extremely confident in himself would dare to pull that off!”

If the disciples from the other sects only knew her as the ‘Chosen One’ beforehand, then they finally realized how scary Chi Guyan truly was.

It wasn’t just her strength...

It was also her astounding calculation and judgment, coupled with her mighty confidence.

“Chi Guyan... She is the number one genius of the Holy Region without a doubt!” Even Mo Shanshi was amazed because he wouldn’t dare to pull off such a risky move so easily.

What about Chi Guyan?

She didn’t only pull it off, she even did that right at the beginning. Her determination and decisiveness alone made her unrivaled in the Holy Region.

“This girl came from Great Xia Dynasty, right?” Qian Yu wasn’t able to stay calm anymore.

“Yup, sister Yan is the princess of Divine Constabulary, and she’s also the Double Dragon Roll Champion!” Ping Yang nodded and the unhappiness on her expression was swept away by excitement.

“Double Dragon Roll Champion? 17 years old... Yeah, she’s indeed incredible. Her talent and her mentality are both perfect.” Qian Yu nodded softly after she heard Ping Yang.

“Yes, sister Yan is the mightiest!” Ping Yang looked extremely proud.

“Oh? Is she the mightiest even after comparing to your Fang Zhengzhi?” Qian Yu asked carefreely.

“That’s different!” Ping Yang pouted.

“Haha, they are different indeed. One is perfect and impeccable, while the other is full of ‘openings’. By the way, this boy from the Nangong Nobles seems to know Fang Zhengzhi too?”

“Yup, they are more than that. That shameless fellow should be Nangong Mu’s one and only friend. To be honest, I’m pretty baffled when Nangong Mu said that he owes Fang Zhengzhi that’s more valuable than his life. However, that shameless fellow has always been disgustingly selfish, so how could he lend something so valuable to Nangong Mu?”

“Something? Haha, some things can’t be valued with money.”

“Mom, are you suggesting that they are homo...” Ping Yang’s expression looked weird at this moment.

“Ke... Why are you learning about all these inappropriate stuff for your age? Who did you hear it from?”

“Of course it’s...” Ping Yang stopped mid-sentence. Then, she stuck out her tongue and took a step back quietly, not daring to say another word.

Meanwhile, Nangong Mu had already stood up again. He was glaring at Chi Guyan while he clenched his dual blade tightly.

“Mu’er, don’t fight Chi Guyan with your martial arts techniques. Use your full power!” Nangong Tian sounded like he was a little nervous too.

“Full power?”

“Are you telling me that Nangong Mu hasn’t used his full power yet?”

“That’s impossible, right?”

The surrounding disciples were a little dumbfounded when they heard Nangong Tian because the current Nangong Mu was already ridiculously strong.

‘He’s not using his full power?’

‘No one would believe that!’

However, their thoughts were soon proven wrong, because Nangong Mu started bellowing when Nangong Tian said that.

“Ah!!!” Nangong Mu sounded like he was in so much pain, and even his expression became extremely distorted as if something was coming out of his body.

Boom!

Nangong Mu’s shirt was blown to shreds and revealed his upper body which was covered in scars. There were several snow-white symbols appearing on his body at the moment.

“Is that...” Mu Qingfeng suddenly stood up, unable to conceal the shock in his expression.

Even Mo Shanshi, who was sitting at the front of Fu Xi Valley’s formation, opened his eyes wide with disbelief and clenched his fists tightly subconsciously.

“It’s Gifted Bloodline!”

“Nangong Mu has Gifted Bloodline too?!”

“What’s going on? If he has Gifted Bloodline, why didn’t he use it before?”

The surrounding disciples were struck dumb by what they saw, unable to process the fact that Nangong Mu possessed Gifted Bloodline.

Yan Qing, who was standing behind Wu Yuer, also went slack-jawed and exclaimed, “That’s impossible! If he possesses Gifted Bloodline, why didn’t he use it against me during our fight previously?”

“Do we have any information regarding Nangong Mu’s Gifted Bloodline?” Wu Yuer also frowned and asked someone behind her coldly.

“Nope. Nangong Mu shouldn’t possess a Gifted Bloodline!” Someone behind Wu Yuer replied. He also sounded like he couldn’t believe it.

“That’s weird. What happened to Nangong Mu in the past few months?” Wu Yuer obviously trusted Shadow Sect’s intelligence gathering abilities. However, what she saw was clearly not reflected in the intel collected.

“Oh no, Nangong Mu seems to be breaking through!”

“Breaking through?! Does he intend to break through in the middle of a fight?”

“How is that possible?”

While Wu Yuer was feeling puzzled, the surrounding disciples were once again struck dumb, because the snow-white symbols appearing from Nangong Mu’s body were gathered towards his forehead at an extraordinary speed.

In mere moments, a symbol that looks like a snowflake materialized on his forehead, following which, a dazzling white radiance burst out of his body and soared into the sky.

“He broke through!”

“He... Has he entered Sage State?!”

“This... This is impossible. How could something like this happen? Is Sage State... Something that could be achieved so easily? This doesn’t make any sense!”

“No, there’s another possibility apart from breaking through during the middle of the fight!”

“What’s that?”

“If he could overpower Qiu Jingfeng, it means that Nangong Mu’s strength has long exceeded Sage State. If he’s breaking through now... It means that he has been suppressing...”

“Suppressing? Why would he do that?”

“If I’m right, it has got something to do with his Gifted Bloodline! Maybe he’s unable to control this power? However, that’s just my speculation...”

All the disciples started discussing amongst themselves. However, just like what they said, everything was just speculation.

No one knew the real reason.

“I can’t lose again, I can’t...” Nangong Mu’s eyes were filled with a snow-white chill and his expression became abnormally cold.

There were countless snowflakes revolving around his body, then, they crystallized into a clear, white armor.

Buzz!

Snowflakes fell from the sky again. This was a chilling sight to behold during summer.

Mu Qingfeng also gazed at the sky at this moment, and his lips trembled when he saw the huge shadow in the air.

In fact...

He had seen this shadow once already.

When Nangong Mu stabbed Qiu Jingfeng, this shadow also appeared in the sky. However, it only appeared for a split second just now.

Yet, at this moment, the shadow was exceptionally clear. It was looking down at them from above like an almighty deity, exuding an unchallengeable aura.

It was a tree, a gigantic tree blooming with white flowers. Every single flower was crystal-clear, and every branch was glowing.

“Mu’er, Chi Guyan managed to beat Hao’er by the difference of a single move a few years ago. If you could defeat Chi Guyan now, it means that you’ve defeated Hao’er!” Nangong Tian also gazed towards the gigantic tree in the sky. He clenched his fists tightly and even his body trembled uncontrollably.

“If I could defeat Chi Guyan, it means that I’ve defeated big brother? Big brother... Yes, I’ll win. I have to win, because I’m Nangong Mu, because my name is Nangong Mu!” Nangong Mu’s body trembled and the snowflakes around him suddenly disappeared all of a sudden, leaving behind the crystalline white armor on his body.

Many complicated, snow-white cloud symbols were engraved on the armor. Nangong Mu’s body exuded a chilling aura that seemed to have frozen the surrounding air.

Chi Guyan raised her sword slowly. Spots of starlight rotated in her eyes as her hair drifted in the chilly wind.

There wasn’t any excessive words or movement. She just stood there quietly like a mountain in a storm.

It felt lonely, but it could stand its ground against the wind and snow.

Just as the saying goes...

Unmovable like a mountain!
