Chapter 573 Battle to Build the Foundation
While the soul-snatching envoy Sang Fan was fighting with the alcoholic bee, the other two also fought together. The one-eyed dragon Leng Yu knew very well that he didn't know how long his elder brother could hold out. The key to victory or defeat depended on himself, so he had to fight quickly, so he used a killing move as soon as he made a move.
As soon as he saw his mind move, a silver long sword appeared above his head. The long sword rotated in the air, and thousands of silver sword edges appeared, shooting towards Qingyang with the momentum of Wan Jun.
After becoming a cultivator for so many years, Qingyang had faced enemies in the foundation-building period and resisted the inferior spiritual weapons used by others, but today was the first time that he really fought face to face with a foundation-building cultivator who used a spiritual weapon, and it was also the first time that he faced the full-strength attack of a foundation-building cultivator.
The magic weapon used by the one-eyed dragon Leng Yu originally was the gold-painted fan, but after breaking through the foundation-building period, he changed to this silver long sword. This sword is called the Thousand-edge Sword. Every time it attacks, thousands of sword edges will be transformed to assist the attack. In fact, the attack power of the sword blades transformed by the spirit sword is very small, but the cumulative number cannot be underestimated. One or two sword blades are nothing, and eight or ten sword blades are not enough to penetrate Qingyang's defense. Even if there are hundreds of sword blades, Qingyang can handle it, but thousands of sword blades follow the long sword all at once, even the foundation-building cultivator will change color.
Under the full drive of the one-eyed dragon Leng Yu, the silver long sword is amazingly powerful, piercing Qingyang's chest, and the thousands of sword blades it carries are also unstoppable. If it was before the breakthrough, Qingyang felt that even if he used the five-element sword formation, he might not be able to resist it. As for now, the true qi in Qingyang's body has been converted into true essence, and the power has increased greatly. The four-element sword formation should be able to block it.
Seeing that the silver long sword is getting closer and closer, Qingyang has already made preparations. Four magic swords flew into the air at the same time, instantly forming a huge sword formation, blocking the silver long sword.
The Four Elements Sword Formation not only has amazing attack power, but also has a strong defensive function. With the sword formation in front, the thousand sword edges formed by the silver sword were well protected. There was almost no pause in the middle. The silver sword with thousands of sword edges collided with the Four Elements Sword Formation. After a loud bang, the silver sword flew back, and Qingyang's sword formation also ran out of energy, and the four magic swords were scattered everywhere. This time, it was evenly matched, and no one could do anything to the other.
Qingyang's eyebrows twitched, and he recalled his four magic swords. He was not very satisfied with the previous attack. It is said that when using the Four Elements Sword Formation, his strength can be increased by two levels, even if he faces an opponent at the second or third level of foundation building, but just now he was only evenly matched with the opponent, which shows that the Four Elements Sword Formation did not play its due strength.
But Qingyang soon thought of the reason. It had a lot to do with his current situation. On the one hand, he had just broken through and was not proficient in the use of divine thoughts and true essence. On the other hand, the level of the four magic swords was too low. The difference between the upper-grade magic swords and the lower-grade spiritual weapons was too great, which also reduced the power of the sword formation. It seemed that he had to replace the magic weapons as soon as possible after returning.
The one-eyed dragon Lengyu on the opposite side also recalled his silver long sword as soon as possible. Looking at Qingyang, he couldn't help but be surprised. He didn't expect that Qingyang had grown so fast. He had just broken through the foundation and could block his fatal blow. What would he be like when he fully grew up in the future?
The one-eyed dragon Lengyu's knowledge was different from before. He knew that Qingyang was not as strong as himself, and his magic weapon was not as good as his own, but he could block his attack. It should be the credit of the sword formation. However, such a sword formation consumed divine thoughts and true essence. This kid was not as strong as himself. If he used the sword formation forcibly, the consumption would be more serious. There would always be a time when he was not good enough.
One-eyed dragon Leng Yu sneered and said, "Boy, I really underestimated you. Do you think you can stop the foundation-building cultivator with a few top-grade magic swords? I wonder how long you can hold on."
As soon as the voice fell, the one-eyed dragon Leng Yu's mind moved, and the silver long sword flew to the top of his head again, transforming into thousands of sword edges, slashing towards Qingyang. At the same time, Qingyang also used the Four Elements Sword Art again, and the two fought back and forth.
One-eyed dragon Leng Yu thought that Qingyang had just broken through and was inferior to him in all aspects. It should be easy to defeat Qingyang. Even if he could not win in a short time, if the time dragged on for a long time, Qingyang would sooner or later be able to exhaust the opponent to death because of his lack of mind and true essence.
However, he did not know that Qingyang's real strength was not worse than that of the one-eyed dragon Lengyu. Because of the Concentration Technique, Qingyang's spiritual thoughts were much stronger than those of the same-level cultivators. In this respect, he was not inferior to him, but even surpassed him by a lot. The only thing Qingyang lacked was combat experience and the amount of true essence, but with the spiritual thoughts to make up for it, it was hard to say who was better.
In addition to the bonus of the Four Elements Sword Technique, Qingyang's strength was even higher than that of the one-eyed dragon Lengyu. That is, he had not broken through for a long time, and his true energy had just been transformed into true essence, and he was not proficient in all aspects. Otherwise, the two would not be evenly matched.
As time went on, Qingyang became more and more courageous, and had a faint momentum to gain the upper hand. The one-eyed dragon Lengyu could not help but get anxious. The situation on the eldest brother's side was getting more and more critical, but he could not win on his side. If the eldest brother made a mistake, wouldn't all the previous efforts be wasted?
Seeing that Qingyang's cultivation was getting higher and higher, and he was about to surpass him, if the two brothers could not take him down this time, then there would be no hope of revenge in the future. No matter the rare treasure on his body or the hatred between them, the one-eyed dragon Leng Yu would not miss this opportunity. He would kill him while he was alone.
Thinking of this, the one-eyed dragon Leng Yu suddenly felt cold in his heart, and casually took out his top-grade magic weapon, the Soul-Capturing Bell, and shook it towards Qing Yang. The crisp bell sounded, as if an invisible wave spread out, penetrating through layers of obstacles and directly entering Qing Yang's soul.
Qing Yang instantly felt his soul shaking, his soul floating, and his blood churning in his body, as if he was about to riot. His whole mind seemed to be confused and drowsy.
At the same time, the silver sword circled above the one-eyed dragon Leng Yu's head again, and then transformed into thousands of sword edges, stabbing towards Qing Yang. The Soul-Capturing Bell and the silver sword cooperated with each other, and the two moves were launched at the same time, as if they would never stop until Qing Yang was killed.
However, Qing Yang is now a foundation-building cultivator, and his ability to resist soul attacks has greatly increased. Moreover, he suffered a loss in this regard twenty years ago, and he also guarded against this move when fighting with the one-eyed dragon Leng Yu. When he saw the other party taking out the soul-catching bell, he flipped back and retreated quickly into the distance, biting his tongue with his teeth to force himself to stay awake.
