A single blow shatters the Earth.
Shang Qing snorts, "Is that all you've got?" Swiftly changing positions within this confined space with the help of the moon's guidance, Shang Qing has gradually figured out Yu Long's tactics. Finally seizing an opening, the two launch their vitality-charged punches, instantly shattering the illusion of the second layer. Yu Long is fiercely driven back against a pillar in the small room. As the illusion shatters, it vanishes along with them.
"Onto the third layer. Let's see what you've got left," Shang Qing can't help but question Yu Long in his heart. How much more power can this deep-seated grudge unleash?
In this reversal of the five elements, the more they fight, the more they suffer.
The sunlight fades from the scene, replaced by dense dark clouds, and the surrounding forest reappears before them. Through the smoke from the vitality explosion, the two once again see each other.
The recent explosion produced a dazzling light, momentarily rendering them blind, let alone what each of them did during this opening.
At some point, Shang Qing is suddenly on one knee, coughing violently, and looks up to see Yu Long charging his vitality.
Seeing Shang Qing in this state, Yu Long hesitates and hears Shang Qing's plea. Surprisingly, it's Shang Qing who has exhausted his strength first, hoping Yu Long can pull him up.
Yu Long is stunned, "How is this possible? In this reversal of the five elements, my vitality surpasses his. What's going on?"
Shang Qing quietly waiting, is this years of friendship outweighing the enmity of killing the master, or is Yu Long truly acting on behalf of justice, disregarding personal feelings?
In the moment when the two almost hear each other's heartbeat, the hurricane-like commotion caused by vitality gradually dissipates, and Yu Long's kind hand from their student days falls in front of Shang Qing.
"Come back with me, and apologize to Commander."
Upon hearing this, Shang Qing let out a cold snort: "What time is it? You are still focused on doing your duty. However, since you have already extended your hand, don't blame me for holding back."
"Thank you." The moment Shang Qing looked up, he immediately activated his vitality to create a gust of wind between the two, sending Yu Long flying once again. Under the cover of smoke, Yu Long realized the abnormal situation and quickly prepared to unleash a lethal attack to eliminate Shang Qing.
However, as Shang Qing stood up, he seemed to unleash all his power. He slowly raised both hands and clenched his fists, murmuring, "Ze Dui: Wind Dust Bewitching Heart!" As the smoke dissipated, Shang Qing extended his hand. It turned out that amidst the explosion of light earlier, he had already set up a technique around himself while kneeling on one knee. As soon as Yu Long reached out with that helping hand, he would be marked by Shang Qing's technique. Now, these marks had immobilized Yu Long in place.
Caught off guard, Yu Long found himself in a situation reminiscent of the second collapse of the small room.
As Shang Qing pondered, the three layers of giant wooden barriers had all been shattered. Even if he tried to use his disappearing act again, it would likely only result in one true form.
Yu Long vanished once more and appeared directly behind Shang Qing. A Wind Attribute attack: Giant Tree Supporting the Sky sent Shang Qing soaring into the air.
Feigning defeat, Shang Qing jumped high. Indeed, this time it was Yu Long's true form, rapidly charging towards him.
"Very good, you've learned to hold back," Shang Qing praised his former subordinate while in mid-air, positioning his hands in a bagua stance and activating Ze Dui: Focusing on the Moon, gathering vitality to counter the incoming Yu Long.
Thus, the two engaged in another fierce battle of vitality in mid-air. The powerful vitality shattered the surrounding boulders and even reached Luo Yue, who was far away fighting against spirits, causing him to feel the immense impact of their vitality!
Deathmatch
The massive surge of vitality unexpectedly broke the formation that the Soul was charging up, allowing the already captured Luo Yue to perform a backflip and kick the Soul away with the combined force of vitality, landing on the ground while gasping heavily.
"This is... Teacher Yu Long's vitality!" The sudden realization made Luo Yue instantly excited. It seemed that after the brief dispersal of the Broken Bridge, Teacher Yu Long was still holding on, still fighting.
This was undoubtedly timely good news. If Teacher Yu Long could win in battle, or at least reach a stalemate, and if he could find himself and resolve the Soul, then his task would be clear: to hold off the Soul for as long as possible. If there was even a slight chance that he could defeat it, then Teacher Yu Long's pressure would drastically decrease, making subsequent tasks much easier to execute.
With this in mind, Luo Yue endured the pain in his left arm and assumed a combat stance once again. His hands were positioned like eagle claws, one above and one below, one in front and one behind; his left hand was forward while his right hand guarded his chest. His legs were firmly rooted to the ground as he watched the Soul slowly rise before him.
The Soul seemed somewhat dazed by this sudden surge of vitality. "Could it be that Shang Qing still hasn't dealt with that Tai Chi Swordsman? What is going on here?!"
You've been beating around this place for too long, and if Yu Long shows up, I'm afraid I won't be a match for them, that stubborn little girl is so hard to deal with! My spirit keeps thinking back to that night when the old man hung 48 blocks of stamp on my waist as a pendant: his gaze was just like this young one's!
"You heroes are really special. What are you guarding the world and lives for? Busy all day, risking your life too, just to become my new pendant? It's hard to understand."
My spirit brushed off some dust from its shoulders, smoothed out its hair that had gotten disheveled, and restored a purple glow in its eyes.
Not bad, I'm preparing to show this little girl what I'm really capable of.
Then, it continued to talk about the origin of those 48 blocks of stamp: "You look like someone I know."
This unexpected conversation left Luo Yue startled, but they couldn't think of anything and kept gazing blankly. My spirit took advantage of this momentary distraction to attack again.
Luo Yue jumped back, using their hands to parry my attack as if holding a stirrup, and dodged behind me after I swept them with my foot. They then took another step forward, kicked me away with a fierce cry like a hawk's talon.
"You look just like that old man! This little face, this gaze, even the fighting style is all the same, as if you were carved out of the same mold, could your family...?"
My spirit quickly got up and continued talking about what happened on that night in the silent forest with that old man...
"Old man? Could it be......"
Luo Yue suddenly thought back to many years ago, when their grandfather entrusted them with a task after completing it and returned. Could it be...... No, it's impossible! The person standing before me is actually my missing-for-many-years nemesis?!
What a joke - Luo Yue looked a bit absent-minded, and in the following response, she seemed a bit tired. It was obvious that she was once again drawn to another matter: her grandfather had not returned for many years, was he really still alive?
Luo Yue continued to fend off the powerful attacks of the soul while pondering. However, this moment of hesitation, just like the training in the illusion with Teacher Yu Long, had thrown off Luo Yue's rhythm.
In this chaotic moment, the soul's punch, driven by the power, struck Luo Yue's carelessly opened center. Although it was repelled by Luo Yue's timely horse-shaped hand, she was also sent flying backward, retreating several steps.
The soul continued to recount that night, "I probably understand now. You must be this person's granddaughter, right? The way you fight fearlessly, even when your life is in someone else's hands, is truly unforgettable. Back in the day, this old man resisted my evil intentions a hundred times before succumbing. I wonder how many times you can resist today!"
Luo Yue stood up and remembered the question he had asked himself that night: when would his grandfather be able to turn the cocoon in his hand into a butterfly. Despite trying to calm himself and discover the scene behind his heart, behind that door was only a huge death cocoon. How could a butterfly appear here?
The attack of the soul followed closely, and Luo Yue's defense began to struggle. He took heavy blows time and time again, trying to seize the opportunity to find a loophole under the strong pressure of the soul's attack, pushing her back time and time again. After repeated attempts, he even managed to slightly injure the soul.
The soul raised its thumb, "Not bad, it seems to be this old guy's good granddaughter," but with a gesture, the newly appeared wound disappeared.
Luo Yue was greatly shocked. What should he do? But before he could hesitate or think, the soul's instant step pierced him directly, pinning him to a tree.
"I said, whether it's that old man or you, you're just here to be my accessories. What's all this talk about protecting the world? You're about to bid farewell to the world right here, and I can even jot down a few last words for you before sending you on your way!" The soul's control formation slowly unfolded on Luo Yue, accompanied by its own malicious laughter echoing in the mountains and forests.
"Jot down... last words for me? I really don't understand what you're thinking... I'm just the embodiment of something you don't understand, not the core or origin of this thing. What's the point of killing me?"
This remark clearly angered the Soul. However, under its own formation, no novice hero could withstand even a stick of incense's worth of time. The Soul paid no heed and continued to manipulate the formation, patiently waiting for what Luo Yue referred to as "Break out of cocoon and become a butterfly."
Show mercy
The aerial battle between Shang Qing and Yu Long continued for quite some time, with Shang Qing ultimately being sent back to the ground by Yu Long, who was preparing to unleash the Wind Attribute: Dragon Soul Desolation. This was a Technique used by Wood Attribute heroes to eliminate enemies, summoning a giant wood dragon through powerful vitality gathered from a focal point. Once it struck the target, it would trigger a massive vitality suppression field and a secondary attack from the dragon, instantly obliterating everything in the vicinity.
Shang Qing was dumbfounded. Was Yu Long insane? Using this move on the cliff would be tantamount to seeking death! Was he planning to use the Moonfire afterward? What a brilliant idea!
However, Shang Qing had already prepared Wind Dust Bewitching Heart before landing. As long as he waited for an opening when Yu Long made his move, he could activate Wind Dust Bewitching Heart and take down Yu Long.
At this moment, it seemed that this was indeed Yu Long's True Form. Just moments ago in mid-air, Shang Qing had clearly sensed that Yu Long's vitality was significantly diminished; in fact, he was using his vitality... no, it was his life! This was Yu Long's final gamble. Was he really going to settle their grievances here?
Shang Qing lightly asked a question, then raised his hand. Yu Long had already summoned a dragon with vitality, but suddenly became motionless like a puppet when Shang Qing raised his hand, causing the dragon to disappear.
Shang Qing looked at the rising sun on the opposite cliff, quickly calculating the time he and Yu Long had been fighting. It was enough for Long Shan to complete his experiment. It seemed that his own task was almost finished, just as a backup for Gui Mei, guarding against Yu Long's return.
"I don't like the idea of blowing up this beautiful cliff. Let's leave it. Perhaps you'll need to depart from here," Shang Qing said, walking easily to Yu Long's side and using a comforting punch combined with vitality to pierce Yu Long's body.
"You!" Yu Long exclaimed, but a barrier had already opened beneath his feet.
"Until we meet again, Yu Long. You will accompany the teacher," Shang Qing said without further ado, leaving something on the ground and then disappearing as a Gui Mei.
Yu Long is thinking, watching the rising sun, where are the students? Since the bridge was broken, they have not seen each other for many days. Are they still safe? If there is an accident, who can be found here the fastest?
Yu Long breathes quickly, within the small boundary left by Shang Qing, it seems that the oppressive feeling of being swallowed by vitality has temporarily disappeared. The gradual recovery of vitality reminds Yu Long of the structure inside this boundary. The vitality of a certain attribute will be absorbed by the corresponding seal, forming the flow of vitality. So, what he needs to do next is to find the seal of wood.
According to the principle of mutual generation and mutual restraint of the five elements, if Luo Yue is the fastest to be found, perhaps there is still hope for a turnaround...
