Sword Roaring in the Sky

Chapter 201 Songyang's Secret Skill, Mysterious Jade Heavenly Net

Zhang Qingxi smiled slightly and said, "Thank you, Princess, for telling me."

Giatana took a deep breath of true energy, and the black iron rod suddenly glowed red, like a red flame, like a fire dragon, soaring through the sky and smashing down towards Zhang Qingxi.

Zhang Qingxi's body was as light as a willow, swaying in the wind. He didn't move his body, didn't lift his hands or feet, and he neutralized the attack purely by relying on his lightness skills.

Giatana was secretly surprised. In her previous attack, she had used her most skilled and most powerful dragon-elephant power, and also employed the power of thought of the three thousand realms of the Avalokitesvara Prajnaparamita, to attack Zhang Qingxi's spiritual sea of ​​consciousness with her miraculous mental power. However, her miraculous mental power could not break Zhang Qingxi's clear sword heart at all. The stick that she had simply exerted with her physical brute force was also easily avoided by Zhang Qingxi.

The black iron stick in Giatana's hand was like a violent storm, and she launched 28 consecutive moves in one breath. Zhang Qingxi only used the Songyang School's orthodox Fengfeng Jue throughout, just like a kite, which always fluttered no matter how strong the wind and rain were.

Sun Yanwan watched with great envy. After he became a disciple of the Songyang School, what he wanted to learn most was the Riding the Wind Art, but Zhang Yuanqiao asked him to concentrate on practicing the Xuanhuang Sutra and only let him practice one more variation of the Ruyi Qiankun Bag to make up for the shortcomings of his Qinggong.

As for the skill of lightness, it also has different levels. The Riding the Wind Art is the king in both the early and late stages, while the Ruyi Universe Bag is mediocre in the early stages and will slowly catch up in the later stages. But even in the later stages, after all, it is not a specialized skill of lightness, so it is still not comparable to the Riding the Wind Art.

Now Sun Yanqing's lightness skill can only be barely considered good. It is far from being as good as that of the eldest brother, who can make Giatana helpless purely by relying on lightness skill.

Seeing that her frantic attacks were ineffective, Giatana immediately changed her stick technique to a smaller and denser one. The stick was like a net, constantly converging. Each stick accumulated with the previous one, constantly compressing Zhang Qingxi's dodging space.

Sun Yanwan was sitting at the foot of the stone platform when a thought suddenly occurred to him. He thought to himself, "If I were faced with this situation, I could just use the Immortal Hammer to forcibly break the force of the stick and then launch a counterattack."

Before he could finish his thought, Zhang Qingxi had already thrown a punch, hitting Giatana's black iron rod. Giatana's delicate body shook, and she was greatly surprised. She shouted, "Your external martial arts have also reached the peak?"

Zhang Qingxi smiled and said, "I have a junior fellow who created a new external boxing style. I started practicing it and I became very good at it."

Giatana called out, "But Sun Yanwan?"

Zhang Qingxi replied with a smile: "That's right."

While the two were talking, they exchanged only seventeen or eighteen moves. Zhang Qingxi's Immortal Hammer was used without any fireworks, nor was it as fierce and domineering as Sun Yanwan's. Each move was understated, as if it was effortless.

A pair of fists hit Giatana's black iron rod hard, and every blow made the little princess of Beiyan feel extremely difficult to defend. She had unparalleled divine power, but no matter how much strength she exerted, it was like hitting back at the sky. The greater the strength she used, the more rebounds there would be.

Sun Yanwan was greatly surprised. He had witnessed another possibility in a fierce battle with the human demon. Now, when he saw Zhang Qingxi using the Immortal Hammer, he suddenly realized that this set of martial arts could be used in this way?

The power of each punch is contained but not released, and only at the moment of hitting the enemy is the full force released. Although it looks light and floating like a feather, its fierceness and power are no less powerful.

Sun Yanwan watched a few moves and suddenly realized: "Big Brother is breaking the moves."

Zhang Qingxi did not seek a quick victory, and even held back in his attacks. As Giatana's moves changed, he also demonstrated his methods of resolving them accordingly, without even a fierce counterattack.

Then a thought popped up in Sun Yanwan's mind: "What on earth is the eldest brother going to do?"

At this moment, Zhang Qingxi on the stone platform suddenly gathered his voice into a line and sent a ray of voice to Giatana's ears, saying: "I know you are suffering a lot. Don't suffer so much, break through the realm!"

Giatana's face changed drastically, and then she heard Zhang Qingxi say loudly: "Let me see your true ability."

"Are you qualified to be the number one Tianjiao?"

Giatana shouted: "Okay!"

The aura on his body was surging and it broke through a certain limit in just a moment. The stick technique that was originally quite manic immediately became exquisite.

The spectators from both countries suddenly cried out in surprise, "Grandmaster! Grandmaster! Grandmaster..."

Giatana actually broke through to the Grandmaster level in an instant. She inexplicably sensed the opportunity to break through this morning, but in order to go on stage for the competition, she had to suppress it forcibly, which resulted in her performance being far below standard, allowing Zhang Qingxi to use his lightness skills to play with her.

She didn't even dare to use all the strength in her black iron stick, for fear that one strike would break through the barrier.

If someone breaks through the realm on the spot like the human demon, no one can say anything. But if someone does what Giatana does, it will definitely be seen as deliberately suppressing the realm, just to rely on the realm to overwhelm the opponent on the stone platform. If Dalang insists on not admitting it, Beiyan can't do anything.

This is what Jiatana was worried about. Zhang Qingxi took the initiative to ask her to break through. How could the little princess of Beiyan still hesitate?
The four realms of the innate: Beginning, Entering, Transformation, and Ultimate! Beginning is the innate realm, the master of the subtle realm, the master of the transformation realm, and the ultimate realm of the ultimate god!
When one reaches the Xiantian realm, it is no longer about how many meridians are opened or how strong the true qi is. The benchmark of the four Xiantian realms is the true meaning of martial arts!

Entering the realm of subtlety, one can mobilize physical strength, true energy, and moves with exquisite precision. With the same loss of true energy and physical strength, one can exert several times the power in the realm of subtlety, and his endurance far exceeds that of ordinary masters. For the same moves, those in the realm of subtlety can perform them more delicately and easily find the enemy's flaws.

When one reaches the Grandmaster level, it is often easier to cultivate skills such as innate qi, evil qi, sword qi, and knife qi. Even if one does not specifically practice similar skills, the palm power will be extremely concentrated, and even if it is slapped out several feet away, the attenuation will be minimal.

Originally, everyone in Dalang had great confidence in Zhang Qingxi. Although Giatana was the number one prodigy and Zhang Qingxi was only the seventh, Zhang Qingxi was younger. Now that it had been a while since the rankings, everyone felt that Zhang Qingxi would definitely catch up.

But who could have expected that Giatana would break through the realm?

When a Grandmaster fights against an Innate, the winning rate is hopeless.

After Zhang Qingxi came on stage, he drew his sword for the first time. The Demon-Slaying Sword was as condensed as a thread, and he used the Hunyuan Sword Technique that Sun Yanwan had been practicing hard but had never been able to use.

The eldest senior brother of Taiyi Temple integrated his body and sword into one, and his true qi and the Demon-Slaying Sword formed an inseparable system. He actually relied on the long sword which weighed only a few pounds to block Giatana's black iron stick and was not at a disadvantage at all.

Giatana was very surprised. Although she had just been promoted to a grandmaster and had not yet mastered the subtle realm, her strength had increased by at least 20% to 30%. However, Zhang Qingxi was not afraid at all and fought back with every move, showing his unfathomable strength.

A thought even crossed Giatana's mind: "As both of us are born with a natural talent, I'm probably no match for him. How did Zhang Yuanqiao train his disciples? Why are they all so powerful?"

In the fierce battle, Zhang Qingxi suddenly switched the sword to his left hand, made a hand gesture with his right hand, and slapped down with a palm.

Giatana tried her best to move the stick upwards, and the palm and stick collided. Suddenly, the little princess of Beiyan felt that the black iron stick that followed her across the prairie suddenly "resisted"!
Giatana was horrified. She knew of course that it was impossible for this black iron rod to have developed "consciousness" and rebel against its owner. Instead, it was Zhang Qingxi's internal force that rushed into the iron rod and tried to compete with her internal force.

Giatana also became furious and thought to herself, "I have already been promoted to Grandmaster. I can fight with my inner strength. Do you think I should be afraid of you?"

She mobilized the most extraordinary dragon-elephant power, and with one move, she walked like an elephant on the cloud. The raised black iron rod was like a poisonous dragon emerging from the sea, roaring angrily, as if to break through the sky.

All the onlookers saw a wonderful sight in an instant.

Zhang Qingxi slapped the right hand of the iron rod. His skin was like white jade, so crystal clear that it didn't look like flesh and blood. When this palm hit the end of the black iron rod, Giatana, who was holding the peerless magic weapon, suddenly spit out a mouthful of blood.

After succeeding with one palm strike, Zhang Qingxi did not pursue the victory and landed gracefully on the ground.

Although Giatana still had the strength to fight, she knew she had no chance of winning. She whispered, "Is this the Mysterious Jade Heavenly Net Hand?"

Zhang Qingxi nodded slightly, and said in a gentle voice, "Songyang's unique martial arts, the Mysterious Jade Sky Net, can collapse the sky and split the sea, and separate gold and jade!"

Sun Yanwan knew that the senior brother was practicing Qianqing Qi and Xuanyu Tianluo Hand, but had never seen the senior brother use them. Unexpectedly, the first time the senior brother used them in public, he made Giatana vomit blood with one move.

The winner had been decided. Zhang Qingxi calmly returned to the lineup. Seeing Sun Yanwan, he smiled and asked, "Big Brother, you've conquered the Grandmaster, are you still looking so handsome?"

Sun Yanwan suddenly came to his senses and shouted, "Big Brother, you're going to put me down on this one too?"

He had just killed a Xiantian on the stone platform with the strength of the third level. The next day, Zhang Qingxi defeated Giatana, who had just been promoted to the Grandmaster level, on the stone platform, clearly intending to "bully him."

Zhang Qingxi laughed heartily. Standing on the stone platform, he had longed to see the expression on his second junior brother's face when he saw what was happening. He was naturally delighted. He patted Sun Yanwan on the shoulder and said, "Let me be your senior junior brother for a few more years!"

This sentence was very meaningful. Sun Yanwan could not understand it for a while, but he also knew that as the fourth prince's eldest brother, sooner or later, he would no longer be his eldest brother. Even if he could still call Zhang Qingxi eldest brother, his nature had changed after all.

Zhang Qingxi had bullied his junior brother and was very happy. He said, "When I first found out that I could only rank seventh on Beiyan's Tianjiao Ranking, I was very dissatisfied. Today I finally got rid of my anger."

"But being number one in this world of geniuses isn't very interesting. Being number one for a stick of incense is enough."

Before Sun Yanwan understood what it meant, he saw the eldest brother take a step towards Kong Chan. With this step, the aura on his body suddenly changed, just like when Giatana broke through just now.

Zhang Qingxi is a master!
Giatana stepped down from the stone platform. She had one thought: wait until she recovered from her injuries and consolidated her Grandmaster cultivation before going to find Zhang Qingxi. There was a 100% chance of victory. But when she felt a sense of connection and looked towards the other side of the stone platform, she suddenly felt a sense of despair...
