Chapter 170: Chapter 169: Duel of Five Elements Magic Skills_l

“Seek Dao Sect, Lu Yang.”

“Five Elements Sect, Bai Ming.”

Bai Ming became highly alert upon noticing his master’s expression on the grandstand, yet he did not stop the match.

This indicated that Lu Yang was defying conventional norms, but he had not broken any rules or cheated.

This was truly terrifying.

Swoosh—

The sound of a long spear slicing the air marked the start of the battle.

Bai Ming held a silver long spear that shimmered brilliantly in the sunlight.

He was the first to attack. Lu Yang calmly responded, side-stepping to the right. His Green Peak Sword slid past the spear shaft, causing sparks to fly.

The Green Peak Sword continued its trajectory along the spear shaft towards Bai Ming’s hands. By a shake of his wrist, Bai Ming made the spear vibrate and pushed the attack of Green Peak Sword away.

The sword light is like rain, turning into a river and surging downwards. The long spear was fierce and powerful, fearless of Lu Yang’s swordsmanship, choosing to meet force with force.

As the sword and spear crossed, victory hung in the balance, a dazzling exchange that left the Five Elements Sect disciples astonished. They had never seen anyone of the same level match Bai Ming in a weapon-based battle. “Draw?” Meng Jingzhou sneered upon hearing that. From the beginning, Lu Yang had been using basic sword moves in response. His basic sword moves were simply too fluently linked together, which the Foundation Establishment disciples of the Five Elements Sect simply failed to notice.

Meng Jingzhou knew best the power of Lu Yang’s swordsmanship. Up to this point, Lu Yang had not even used his swordsmanship techniques.

Lu Yang seldom used his sword, but this didn’t imply that his swordsmanship was weak. As a Sword Spirit Root, how could he not be proficient in swordsmanship?

Tao Yaoye had her eyes fixed on Lu Yang in the battlefield, wondering about something else.

She remembered distinctly that when Lu Yang was learning the “Tree-Planting Sutra,” the distance between him and the plant man clone was only twenty meters.

However, the distance between Lu Yang on the grandstand and on the martial grounds was clearly far more than twenty meters.

Tao Yaoye was unaware that after defeating the Tiger Demon, Lu Yang learned a magic spell for controlling a ghost servant. But once he mastered it, the spell turned into the Soul out of Body Technique.

After obtaining his Bodhi Tree clone, Lu Yang used the Soul out of Body Technique to enter the plant man’s body, eliminating any worries about the distance between his original body and the clone.

In other words, Lu Yang’s soul was now on the battlefield while his body on the grandstand had come under complete control of Fairy Eternity.

On the martial grounds, Lu Yang seized the opportunity and somersaulted mid-air. His right leg raised, every ounce of his strength concentrated on his foot as it sandwiched the spearhead of the silver long spear. Bai Ming wanted to pull out his spear, but Lu Yang’s body weighed on it like a mountain.

The Green Peak Sword traced a curve in the air, breaking the sound barrier and aiming straight at Bai Ming!

A gasp of astonishment arose from below the stage. Then, a Five Elements Sect disciple quickly responded, “Don’t panic. Don’t forget that Bai Ming’s strength lies in his Five Elements magic. His spear technique only serves as a distraction!”

Bai Ming let go of the long spear and retreated quickly. He made a hand seal, and a giant earthen snake started to roll over the ground, emerging from the earth.

The martial grounds weren’t paved with bricks but with a special kind of yellow soil that was solidified using the Array Method.

“It’s the Earth Dragon from the Five Elements magic!” exclaimed Long Xiang of the Five Elements Sect.

The dragon shape held a special meaning in the Cultivation World. At this stage, Bai Ming could only turn earth into a snake, not a dragon. Even so, summoning an Earthen Snake so effortlessly was not something an ordinary Foundation Establishment cultivator could do!

Lu Yang, seeming not to care, softly uttered two words as he passed through the Earth Dragon.

“Shrink Ground.”

Bai Ming’s pupils contracted. What kind of spell was this? Was it Five Elements magic?

He hadn’t expected Lu Yang to know Five Elements magic, and what’s more, it was the extremely difficult to learn Earth Escape Technique!

Even he had merely scratched the surface and hadn’t truly mastered the Earth Escape Technique!

Could it be that the opponent’s talent for magic was even greater than his own?!

It couldn’t be! He had the same Five Elements Immortal Body as the founder of the Five Elements Sect, so he inherently understood the logic of Five Elements magic!

Qiu Jin’an felt a chill upon seeing this: “That’s wrong, it’s not the Earth Escape Technique!”

There was no one who understood the methods and implementation of Five Elements magic as well as he did. Yet the magic that Lu Yang was using did not match any spell that he knew of in his mind.

Another entirely new magic skill?!

“How was this created?” Qiu Jin’an turned to ask Fairy Eternity.

Fairy Eternity replied with a blank expression, “I learned it while studying the

Shrinking Ground Into Inches technique.”

“What?”

Qiu Jin’an did not understand. How much were these two magic skills related?

The situation changed again on the field. Bai Ming went from defense to offense. Holding a talisman imprint, the Aura of Gold Intimidation converged. Dozens of small knives flew out from his bosom, allowing him to manipulate them freely.

“It’s the Command Gold Technique!” Fang Hao from the Five Elements Sect shouted out the name of the magic skill.

The Command Gold Technique allows one to manipulate all metallic materials. If refined to high proficiency, it can even manipulate the enemy’s magic artifacts, which is terrible indeed.

The current Bai Ming could only manipulate his own magic artifacts. It was similar to the Item Commanding Technique, but more focused on combat. Dozens of small knives were like deadly weapons, coming from all directions and aimed at Lu Yang’s vital parts.

When confronted with unavoidable attacks, Lu Yang pulled out the Gold Light Curse, placed it on his body, and a bright and strong light emitted from his body to form a protective golden aura.

This was the Gold Light Curse that he bought when Dai Bufan had rewarded him with 3000 contribution points after he came back to Seek Dao Sect from Yanjiang County.

The small knives collided with Lu Yang’s body and were directly repelled.

Bai Ming scoffed, “Ha, it’s just an incantation. It’s limited by its number and time. You are just using a secondary spell, how many times can you block it?” After hearing this, Lu Yang removed the Gold Light Curse.

Bai Ming continued to scoff, “Giving up resistance, huh…”

Lu Yang took out the Gold Light Curse again, his body bursting with golden light. He repeatedly took it off and put it back on, and the alternating light was so intense that it almost blinded Bai Ming’s eyes.

Bai Ming had never thought that the Gold Light Curse could be used this way.

He had never encountered this situation before. His eyelids instinctively wanted to close, but he realized that if he closed them now, he would definitely be attacked by Lu Yang. He struggled against his instinct, half closing his eyes. Just as he was struggling against his instinct, Lu Yang used the Earth Escape Technique. He sprang from under Bai Ming’s foot, and with a charged punch hit Bai Ming’s chin, knocking out a tooth!

“Golden Crow Flame!” Bai Ming used his strongest attack, aiming for a decisive victory.

The red gold flame ran wild, and a faint cry of the golden crow rang out from the flame. The flame burned fiercely, and the temperature of the entire martial arts arena rose by dozens of degrees in an instant, which everyone in the audience could feel.

The one with the strongest reaction to the Golden Crow Flame was Long Xiang, who had the Water Spirit Root. Since ancient times, water and fire have been incompatible. The appearance of the Golden Crow Flame gave him a feeling of suffocation, and the circulation of spiritual energy in his body slowed down a bit.

“So this is the Golden Crow Flame that establishes Senior Brother Bai as the number one in the Foundation Establishment Stage. It’s really strong!”

“I heard Sect Leader say that Senior Brother Bai’s Golden Crow Flame is transforming into a higher level skill called the Sun True Fire. When Senior Brother Bai forms a golden core, the Golden Crow Flame will successfully metamorphose into Sun True Fire. To have True Fire at the beginning of the Golden Core Stage is really terrifying!”

Long Xiang turned his head and saw that Li Haoran, who has the Fire Spirit Root, did not worry about Lu Yang at all, and was quite surprised. As a fire spirit root holder, he should be the most aware of the terribleness of the Golden Crow Flame.

“Aren’t you worried about Lu Yang?”

Li Haoran smiled slightly and answered unexpectedly: “Senior Brother Lu once commissioned me to refine a Flying Car. We worked together for three days and finally succeeded.”

“And during the refining process, Senior Brother Lu was in charge of providing the flame. Do you know what kind of fire that was?”

“What kind of fire?”

“Samadhi True Fire.”

On the martial arts arena, Bai Ming, who held the victory in his hands, suddenly felt restless. However, the Golden Crow Flame blocked his view, and he could not see Lu Yang’s movements.

Suddenly, his expression changed.

He could feel from Lu Yang’s direction, a fiercer and more domineering flame coming.

That feeling…it was true fire!
