Chapter 102: Fierce Wilderness, Mighty Power, Wind and Thunder Unleashed (Part 2)

  He grasped the Lingkong inch of Lianxin Sword, Lu Qing flipped his hand and danced out a sword flower. The air suddenly emitted a humming sound, showing the unparalleled weight of Lianxin Sword.

  The Soul Refining Mantra rotated, and the divine consciousness quickly broke out of the body, enveloping the entire Mortal Platform. At the same time, Lu Qing also discovered the fluctuations of Sito Chong's divine consciousness in the air, which he carefully avoided, while Sito Chong did not detect anything.

  This was something Lu Qing had inadvertently discovered after breaking through to the Nourishing Soul Realm with his Soul Refining Technique: as long as he didn't come into contact with someone else's divine sense, or touch a cultivator stronger than him during a divine sense probe, no one would be able to detect the existence of his divine sense.

  A calm sea in the brain, the sun heart mantra rotates, a sword yuan that far surpasses the previous turbulent surge suddenly rushes through the meridians.

  In Situ Chong's perception, a powerful aura carrying an overbearing and destructive air gradually rose from Lu Qing's body, pressing down on him from afar.

  With a cold hum, a powerful aura burst forth from Situ Zhong's body. This aura contained an unstoppable destructive energy, and the mighty Golden Sword Essence of the Sword Master began to revolve. As the crowd sensed it, Situ Zhong's aura rose steadily, quickly surpassing Lu Qingjian's aura as a minor Swordsman. It continued to rise until finally, the full fury of the Sword Master's aura was unleashed. The air around Situ Zhong seemed to be sliced by sharp blades, emitting a whooshing sound that shook the void.

  A layer of intense golden light floated up on Situ Chong's body, knowing that Lu Qing possessed the wind and thunder sword energy of non-five elements and double attributes. Situ Chong activated his sword energy to protect himself for the first time. With the protection of the golden sword energy, Situ Chong looked like a war god descending into the world at this moment, and his entire aura almost reached its peak.

  Duan Qingyun's palms clenched, and the people beside him, such as Yu Jihua, also noticed that at this moment, Lu Qingjian's aura had been completely suppressed by Sutu Chong. Although the wind and thunder in Lu Qing's aura were tenacious, the gap in their cultivation was too great after all.

  The momentum was initially unfavorable, but with so many people watching, the situation had turned in Situ Zhong's favor.

  But they didn't have to wait for long, as a layer of cyan-purple wind and thunder sword energy also rose from Lu Qing's body. The overbearing wind and thunder sword energy danced with threads of destructive purple electricity, while around Lu Qing, a whirling green whirlwind gradually rose up. The scattered gravel at his feet was swept up by the whirlwind and slowly began to rotate around him.

  "This is the true Wind Thunder Sword Qi."

  Zhao Qianye spoke in a low voice, with a hint of dazzling divine light in his eyes. Yi Ruoyu and others, including Gu Jianfeng, were secretly shocked by the mighty aura of Lu Qingfeng's Thunder Sword. They clearly saw that Lu Qing's Thunder Sword had a round and natural color, and the wind and thunder energy he sensed was not chaotic at all. The two were extremely harmonious and compatible, which undoubtedly proved one point.

  Lu Qing has fully merged the power of Feng Lei's two auras.

  In the eyes of countless swordsmen who do not belong to the Five Elements, Lu Qing is a heaven-defying genius with a rebellious and unyielding temperament. However, even the most basic fusion of elemental attributes requires at least one or two years, yet Lu Qing has achieved complete mastery of Wind and Thunder Sword Energy in such a short period of time, which far exceeds the deep-seated understanding of many people.

  But after Lu Qing released the sword energy to protect himself, his aura suddenly began to swell again. In the astonished eyes of many forces and swordsmen in the field, Lu Qing's aura rose all the way, instantly crossing the small sky rank to reach the middle sky rank, without stopping at all, quickly reaching the peak of the middle sky rank, and then breaking into the great sky rank under everyone's shocking gaze.

  Sigh——

  Lu Qing's body flashed with a purple-green light, and the majestic wind and thunder aura suddenly rebounded back to Si Tu Chong from its original disadvantage.

  His gaze turned cold, and at this moment, Lu Qing's change in aura shocked Situ Chong's mind, and the killing intent in his heart also reached a peak.

  This child absolutely cannot stay!

  In Situ's eyes, a fierce color flashed, and his right hand turned into an illusory shadow. The eight-grade crystal gold sword inserted on the ground suddenly burst out with dazzling golden light, and more than ten two-zhang-long golden sword auras instantly whizzed towards Lu Qin's whole body.

  This life-and-death stage was only a dozen or so feet in diameter, and Situ Chong's this wave of sword energy completely blocked the road ahead of Lu Qing, and retreating would mean falling off the platform.

  But as long as one has stepped onto the stage of life and death, they have all abandoned their fear of death. Retreating to the bottom of the stage and choosing to admit defeat would only lead others to look down on them. Moreover, Lu Qing cannot afford to lose.

  Facing the dozens of powerful sword auras that broke through the air, a strong sense of combat intent flickered in Lu Qing's eyes. He saw Lu Qing take a step back with his left foot, and then spin around in a circle, as the Heart Refining Sword Dance shot out a large arc-shaped afterimage towards the front.

  Whoosh——

  A seven-foot-long sword energy shot out, and at the same time, the massive weight and speed of the Lianxin Sword compressed a piece of air in front of it, forming a horizontal air blade that was several feet long. The Xun wind on the sword energy infused it with a pale blue glow.

  Boom!

  A loud rumbling sound erupted from the center of the Life and Death Arena, as Situ Zhong's sword energy, Lu Qing's air blade, and Feng Lei's wind and thunder sword energy simultaneously dissipated. A powerful wave of air spread out in all directions.

  Crack!

  The hard-won stage of life and death, which had gone through countless battles of life and death, suddenly cracked open a mouthful of several feet at this moment.

  "Disperse quickly!" Gu Jianfeng shouted in a deep voice from below the stage, he didn't expect that Lu Qing and Situ Chong's first encounter would produce such a huge impact.

  At this moment, the invisible air wave spread rapidly, and more than half of the people in the field had a premonition, quickly retreating to the crowd when they saw Lu Qing take action. At this moment, some swordsmen who retreated after hearing Gujian Feng's reminder were clearly too late to dodge.

  Many people just retreated a few feet before being caught up by this wave of air, and the protective sword aura that had hastily risen was instantly shattered. Except for a few who had achieved the sword yuan, the full-force explosion of the protective sword aura barely withstood it, but they were all shaken and flew out, each suffering from severe internal injuries.

  But Lu Qing and Situ Chong on the life-and-death stage didn't care about these, their auras had completely locked each other in, and the two of them almost simultaneously transformed into a residual shadow colliding open at the center of the life-and-death stage.

  Deep purple and gold intertwined, Lu Qing and Situ Chong exchanged dozens of moves in an instant, with each wave of air spreading out between the collisions of their sword blades. From the second round onwards, everyone learned to keep a safe distance, except for Gu Jianfeng and a few others who had strong self-cultivation abilities, retreating at least ten zhang away from the Life and Death Platform. Most people couldn't withstand the residual energy of the two men's battle.

  Life and death on the stage, at this moment Lu Qing and Situ Chong did not use their profound swordsmanship, but only relied on their understanding of their past swordsmanship to make casual moves. However, the sharpness of these moves was no less than that of ordinary high-level swordsmanship.

  After dozens of moves, both of them had a clear understanding of each other's strength. In these dozens of moves, Lu Qing felt the power of Situ Chong's swordsmanship, which was also in the realm of lightness and heaviness. However, his comprehension might be slightly deeper due to the accumulation of time, but the gap was not large. He could basically grasp the trajectory of Situ Chong's swordsmanship.

  On the sword energy, the opponent's golden sword energy was extremely sharp. Although his cultivation was twice as deep as that of the Sword Guest, he could completely withstand it with his powerful wind and thunder sword energy, and their consumption was about the same.

  On the other hand, Situ Chong was secretly lamenting, and it wasn't until they clashed that he realized he had greatly underestimated Lu Qing's strength, especially the terrifying power of his sword. Every time their blades met, a tremendous force would transmit through the crystal sword into his arm, numbing it to the point where if he hadn't rotated his sword energy in time to resist, his arm might have been shattered at the first exchange.

  Similarly, the people below were also shocked to see Lu Qing's every step, wherever Lu Qing's figure passed by, the stone surface completely shattered and cracked open, as if it had been trampled by a savage giant beast, leaving behind holes of varying sizes.

  Hūn

  Two residual shadows flashed by, a few meters above the stage of life and death. The purple electric whirlwind and the sharp Geng Jin gas shuttled back and forth, another wave of air spread out again, shattering the lanterns hung high in several surrounding shops, but no shopkeeper dared to come out and accuse.

  In mid-air, Lu Qing let out a long whistle. The whistling sound was like the rumbling of thunder and the roar of a waterfall, shaking the air for several miles, continuous and unending.

  Almost the entire Sunset City's attention was drawn to Lu Qing's whistle at this moment, and many swordsmen who had not received news due to their bitter practice were even more shocked, and they put down their cultivation and rushed towards the city.

  On the stage of life and death, Lu Qing fell from mid-air, his right foot landing on the ground as he took a step back, causing the ground to shatter in that area. On the other side, Situ Chong was even faster, his feet touching down before he could stop himself, taking three or four steps backward, each step leaving behind a two-inch deep footprint on the stone surface.

  The two men stood facing each other, almost imperceptibly, Situ Chong's right hand grasping the sword trembled several times.

  There were not many people in the field who could see clearly when the two had just fought, except for Gu Jianfeng and Zhao Qianye's group of people, there were only a few others, but at this moment, everyone saw it clearly.

  "See that? The great elder of the Situ family has actually fallen behind."

  "That Situ Chong is a Sword Master of Little Heavenly Rank, although that Lu Qing is also a Sword Guest of Great Heavenly Rank, but it shouldn't be this kind of result!"

  Among the crowd under the stage, many swordsmen were discussing and speculating, but what surprised them even more was that Lu Qing's cultivation was actually two heavens higher than the record of the Dragon and Phoenix List at the beginning of the month. The wind and thunder sword energy was also sprawling and overflowing, especially that unimaginable great strength, just like the legendary giant tribe in ancient times, although Lu Qing did not have such a physique, he possessed the same astonishing power.
