Chapter 229 The Strongest Move, All the Trump Cards Revealed

Duanmu Qingcang's figure looked particularly tall in the snow. He looked at Ci Song with admiration in his eyes. A 13-year-old Juren was unprecedented in the entire literary world. Even Confucius only reached the Juren realm at the age of 17. This talent was really amazing.

What Duanmu Qingcang didn't know was that Ci Song had actually been deliberately suppressing his cultivation. If Ci Song wanted to, he could have broken through the Juren realm as early as these three months, but Ci Song didn't do so, because Ci Song understood the importance of a solid foundation. During these three months, he was consolidating his realm and rarely took the initiative to recite poems and practice.

Of course, Ci Song had another purpose, which was to cultivate his literary mind. When a Juren broke through the Jinshi cultivation, he would be asked by the heaven and earth. This question asked the most fearful and unwilling question in the hearts of literati.

And those who answered correctly could be recognized by the heaven and earth and officially stepped into the Jinshi realm. But how could the question of heaven and earth be answered correctly? It tests a literati's will, mind, and literary mind.

Those with weak wills often hesitate when facing the three questions of heaven and earth; those with narrow minds often cannot see through the secrets of heaven; and those with insufficient talent simply cannot reach the ability to be questioned by heaven and earth.

For example, Bai Ye, although his talent is much better than Duanmu Qingcang and Zeng Xiangteng, he has just broken through the Jinshi realm not long ago. It was because Bai Ye was trapped by the question of heaven and earth that he was able to untie the knot in front of the heart mirror and answer the question of heaven and earth, thus truly breaking through the Jinshi cultivation.

Therefore, most cultivators will prepare in advance, cultivate their literary mind in advance, and strengthen their beliefs. Ci Song is no exception.

"Now we can fight."

Duanmu Qingcang moved and appeared in front of Ci Song in an instant. The talent long sword in his hand exuded a blue-gold light, and the blade contained a powerful pressure.

Duanmu Qingcang slashed at Ci Song with a knife, and the space seemed to be distorted wherever the blade passed.

Ci Song looked at Duanmu Qingcang with a firm look in his eyes. The Shuihan Sword in his hand trembled slightly, and the ice and snow phenomenon returned to Ci Song's control again. As a sword energy passed by, the surrounding wind and snow became extremely violent, and a strong suction force was released from the sword energy, sucking the surrounding snowflakes.

Under the pressure of the sword energy, the snowflakes fell one after another, as if being pulled by an invisible force, forming beautiful white sword beams.

"Boom!"

Duanmu Qingcang slashed at the sword energy with a knife, and the two powerful forces collided with each other, making a deafening sound.

Ci Song's body trembled, and he was almost shocked back a few steps, but he did not give up, but gritted his teeth tightly and gathered all the talents in his body on the Shuihan Sword.

"Boom!"

There was another loud noise, and the two forces collided again. This time, Ci Song finally blocked Duanmu Qingcang's attack.

"Yes, after the breakthrough, the power is indeed much greater."

"Come again!"

Ci Song shouted, and his body instantly turned into a shadow. The Shuihan Sword drew a perfect arc, and the sword energy crisscrossed and instantly enveloped Duanmu Qingcang.

"What a fast speed!"

Duanmu Qingcang's eyes were stern, and his figure retreated quickly. At the same time, the talent long sword danced in front of him and broke the sword energy one by one.

"It seems that you are really strong after the breakthrough, but you are still far from defeating me."

Duanmu Qingcang's figure left a residual image in the air and appeared in another place in an instant. He looked at Ci Song with seriousness.

"Don't waste time, junior sister, junior brother, you two use your strongest moves."

Duanmu Qingcang looked at Ci Song and Mo Yao quietly, with a calm look in his eyes. He awakened the Saint's Eye and his combat power far exceeded everyone present. It can be said that in the entire battle between heaven and man, only Beiyuan and Bai Ye could pose a threat to Duanmu Qingcang in a one-on-one fight.

The reason why he had such confidence was that after Duanmu Qingcang awakened the Saint's Eye, he easily defeated a senior brother with Hanlin cultivation in Zigong Academy within a hundred moves.

So he was confident that he could take down Beiyuan, but facing Bai Ye, he still had no confidence. When he fought with him in Yansheng Academy before, the scene of being defeated by him in three moves was still vivid in his mind.

Duanmu Qingcang knew that with the cultivation of Ci Song Moyao, they could not pose a threat to him at all, but this battle was extremely important for them. This was a rare experience. Failure was a necessary path for their growth and also a tempering that determined whether they could go further on the road of literature in the future.

This time, he would go all out to defeat the two of them, let them truly feel the bitter taste of failure, let them feel the negative emotions brought by failure as soon as possible, let them understand their shortcomings, and encourage them to practice harder in the future.

"In that case, we two will not hold back."

Ci Song mobilized the power of the original spirit and summoned the phantom of the five-colored phoenix. Then he held the sword and prepared to perform his strongest sword move.

On the other side, Mo Yao also played the song in the music book that she spent three months to learn: "Fantasy Phoenix Song". The sound of the jade flute was like the cry of a phoenix, echoing with the phantom of the five-colored phoenix. The sound of the flute transformed into beautiful phoenix phantoms, and rushed towards Duanmu Qingcang together with the phantom of the five-colored phoenix.

A trace of surprise flashed in Duanmu Qingcang's eyes, and he gently waved the long sword in his hand. Groups of blue and gold talents gathered from all directions, condensed into huge sword beams, and slashed at those phoenix phantoms.

"Boom! Boom! Boom!"

A series of earth-shattering explosions sounded, and powerful energy fluctuations spread all around.

"Very good attack!"

Duanmu Qingcang commented slowly, he was not panicked at all, and his mentality became calmer and more stable after awakening the pupil of the sage.

Although every collision between the blade and the sword energy would produce a shocking explosion, Duanmu Qingcang's figure always stood in the same place, as if the powerful energy fluctuations could not shake him at all.

"Is this the terrifying part of the pupil of the sage?" Mo Yao sighed in his heart.

At this time, Ci Song rushed straight to Duanmu Qingcang and used his strongest sword move, "Across the Four Directions."

Ci Song held the sword in his hand, and the Shuihan Sword turned into a streak in his hand, crossing the space with a fierce momentum and attacking Duanmu Qingcang's throat.

Duanmu Qingcang narrowed his eyes slightly, and the talent long sword danced in front of him with a dazzling blade light, heading towards the Shuihan Sword.

"Ding!"

A crisp metal collision sound was heard, and the Caiqi long sword in Duanmu Qingcang's hand collided with the Shuihan sword, making a crisp sound.

Duanmu Qingcang only felt that the blue-gold long sword in his hand was bearing the force from four different directions. The powerful recoil force was transmitted along the long sword to Duanmu Qingcang's arm, shaking his blood and qi.
