Chapter 527: Chapter 523: Wood Yin, Azure Dragon
But these few encounters altered Tang Qian’s perception of this unique skill completely. This didn’t resemble a Spirit Art at all, but was evidently a real Azure Dragon. Not only had their numerous collisions failed to harm it, but they also seemed to have provoked the ferocious nature of the divine dragon. Tang Qian, with his Sky-picking Hand, could only hastily fend off the massive dragon’s onslaught.
After releasing the Mu Yiqing Long, Mi Yang rushed towards the west, looking significantly different from before.
It goes without saying that Extremely Sharp Finger Force burst his green robes.
A peak Fierce Realm martial artist possessing a robust body wasn’t unusual; however, a martial artist left with one arm after using a unique technique was rather intriguing.
Could it be that each use of this unique technique requires the loss of one arm? The warriors who had long fled far away yet kept looking back couldn’t help but harbor such doubts.
As a martial arts researcher, Tang Luo was able to discern some clues from Mi Yang’s current state. He realized that this Elder of the Mi Clan was not only deeply cultivated and has a thorough understanding of martial arts and blood lineage techniques, but also proficient to the point of integrating and creating unique techniques. Moreover, with the boon of his bloodline ability, Mi Yang’s Mu Yiqing Long had achieved the third-stage spiritual power metamorphosis, making this Spirit Art seem like a living being.
In the past, Tang Luo had only observed such metamorphosis in Xu Lao’s Emperors’ Void Phoenix Sword. However, while the divine sword turned into a phoenix with the fusion of a phoenix’s soul, Mi Yang solely relied on his cultivation level to perform the feat.
Tang Luo was confident that this Mu Yiqing Long was surely stronger than the Phoenix illusion conjured by Xu Lao. Tang Qian’s evident struggle against it was evidence enough, and it was apparent that the Mu Yiqing Long equated to a formidable opponent from the Fierce Realm, boasting astonishing power.
Due to Xu Lao’s limited cultivation, the illusion of the Phoenix he manifested was destroyed several times by the masters of the four small families. But were it this Mu Yiqing Long instead, probably those Fierce Realm martial artists with less than forty thousand spiritual power points wouldn’t be able to inflict significant harm.
However, implementing the unique technique undoubtedly had its cost.
Precisely speaking, the Mu Yiqing Long actually corresponded to Mi Yang’s left arm. If Tang Qian could bring down the Azure Dragon, it would equate to Mi Yang losing an arm.
But judging from Mi Yang’s physical strength capable of withstanding the Extreme Sharp Finger Force, it seemed almost hopeless for Tang Qian to destroy this Divine Dragon.
“The Divine Wood bloodline is quite formidable indeed,” Tang Luo couldn’t help but sincerely praise, looking at the sky blooming in the green color once more.
Full of murderous intent, Elder Mi naturally could not hear this recognition. He once again used a unique technique of a Fierce Realm martial artist of the Mi Clan— the Divine Wood Strike.
He gathered the most refined Qingmu true energy inside his body, and then launched a lethal strike. Although the technique was simple, it was a powerful offensive move that consumed and destroyed a considerable amount. Seeing Elder Mi of the Fierce Realm perform this technique was indescribably horrific.
The Divine Wood Strike breached towards Tang Luo with boundless power, quicker and more forceful than the previous attempt. This time, with Tang Qian tied up with the Mu Yiqing Long, who else could intervene?
Facing this emerald light almost inescapable, Tang Luo merely narrowed his eyes leisurely, and in passing, pulled Gong Zheng who had jumped up intending to shield him.
Although he was touched by Gong’s gesture, Tang Luo had his preparations if he dared to linger on Red Cloud Mountain. He had no worries about his safety even without Tang Qian, let alone other issues.
Better a lean peace than a fat victory, Tang Luo wasn’t a blindly confident prodigy. His calmness was because he was surrounded by three tanks! A suddenly rising red crystal dome covered everyone like a pot lid, effectively blocking the descending green radiance.
This unstoppable Cyan radiance hitting the red crystal dome seemed to lose its target suddenly, as if space had folded at the site of the crystal dome. Mi Yang’s Divine Wood Strike curved over a hundred degrees, exploding the distant clouds.
After blocking the Divine Wood Strike, the Du elders, Du Wei, and Du Ling, dissipated the crystal dome. They donned armor made of Red Cloud Crystals all over their body and rose in the air to meet the elder of the Mi Clan sporting a single arm.
Their crimson sword clashed with the cyan one, transforming into a violent halo. The whole space began to tremble as the three people were suddenly upturned and came to a standstill in mid-air.
It was just one exchange, and the armor on the Du elders was already riddled with cracks. Yet, Mi Yang remained unscathed, only seething with silent rage, “The Du Family dares to meddle with my matters. Be ready for extermination!” Two warriors from inconsequential clans not only blocked Elder Mi’s proud Divine wood strike but also unloaded nearly ninety percent of his spiritual power expended in close combat. How could the self-important Mi Yang save face?
The wrathful Elder Mi could only make a savage remark about exterminating the Du family, reminding them of the price of offending the Mi Clan.
If the previous clash left Du Wei and Du Ling feeling more than a little nervous and denoting traces of fear, Mi Yang’s words had decidedly infuriated them. “Elder Mi Yang, Xiling isn’t merely your playground, and the Mi Clan is not your sole dominion. You talk about annihilating a centuries-old family casually; isn’t that overly despotic?” Du Wei said indignantly, locking eyes with Mi Yang.
“Despotic?” Mi Yang laughed manically, “I am despotic!”
He laughed because he had figured out how two Fierce Realm fighters from minor clans could have blocked his attack. Uninterested in wasting more words, he wanted to kill Tang Luo and leave quickly. If he delayed and reinforcements from the Tang Clan arrived, he would miss this golden opportunity.
The disciples of the Du Clan turned pale. They had heard tales of Mi Yang s legends since their youth but never imagined that this highly reputed warrior in Xiling would have such a fierce and domineering character.
But with circumstances being as they were, they had no other choice but to stick by Tang Luo. After all, they placed all their hopes for the Du Family’s future on Tang Luo. At present, their only wish was for a faster response from the Tang Clan, as they were nervous about the encounter with Mi Yang and lacked confidence in how long they could hold on. It might have been different if Du Ting wasn’t assigned to the central peak.
While the two elders of the Du Clan wondered, a divine willow phantom appeared behind Mi Yang. It was his unique technique after integrating the Qingmu Battle Body with the Divine Wood bloodline — the Divine Willow Avatar.
As soon as they saw this, Du Wei and Du Ling realized that Mi Yang was about to execute another unique technique. They lunged forward in an attempt to stop him, but before they could even get close to Mi Yang, they were tightly bound by countless willow branches, unable to move.
They looked through the minuscule gaps between the branches to see Mi Yang transformed into a divine willow. Endless roots penetrated the void space, and the multitude of branches stirred like a green sea. A small part of them bound the two men, but the majority of the branches were curling towards where Tang Luo stood..
