The Dilemma Returns
The morning sunlight tore through the darkness of the earth, and the cold wind blew down the remaining leaves, rustling as they fell to the ground. Yu Long knew that in order to destroy the Seal of Wood Thunder Shaking, he had to fully restore his vitality and be in fighting condition against Shang Qing to defeat Hen Duan. At this moment, Luo Yue was still inexperienced and unable to handle such a situation.
The two faced a Six Hen, seemingly engaged in conversation.
"You two are quite quick; you actually found the Seal of Wood Thunder Shaking. Unfortunately for you, you've run into me!" Hen Duan cracked his knuckles, flexing his muscles, with a murderous glint in his eyes as he glanced at the seal behind him, deep in thought.
Shang Qing was truly insightful; one of these two must have a Wood Attribute. If it weren't for that, they wouldn't have come here. Although Shang Qing didn't explicitly state who among them had the Wood Attribute, judging by appearances, it certainly wasn't this girl; it must be this guy.
"Stop talking nonsense, Hen Duan. After so many years of wrongdoing, today I will settle the old and new scores!" Yu Long glared fiercely at the figure before him. If it weren't for Shang Qing's barrier earlier, he would have likely been drained of his vitality and unable to stand here. Currently, he only had half of his vitality left and couldn't be sure if he could win.
The feeling of vitality loss lessened after Yu Long chose to conceal his vitality. Meanwhile, with her newly acquired metal attribute advanced technique, Luo Yue's ability to seize the opportunity to break the seal became crucial to the battle.
"What a big talker! Although I don't know your name, in the Trial Grounds' Tai Chi Swordsman competition, aside from Shang Qing, it should be you. I've heard quite a bit about your exploits; today is my honor to fight you personally—no, it's to bury you here!" Hen Duan raised his left hand, brown earth vitality swirling in his palm, even politely bowing to Yu Long. That was the standard gesture in every trial event at the Trial Grounds, a unique salute among martial artists.
Yu Long sneered and returned the gesture with a bow, "Then let me see the true ability of Liu Hen!"
Luo Yue prepared for battle alongside Yu Long, keeping a close eye on the Seal of Wood Thunder Shaking behind Hen Dau, "There's only one chance, I must succeed at once!" Luo Yue frowned, raised his fists higher, and Hen Duan had already taken the initiative, rushing towards the two at extreme speed.
Hen Duan truly lived up to being an Earth attribute evil spirit, the force of this punch was full of strength. The shockwave of vitality instantly pushed Luo Yue back, Yu Long countered with vitality, deflecting Hen Dau's attack. Luo Yue then used the gold attribute vitality to unleash a crescent moon blade, flying towards Hen Dau.
After a burst of smoke dispersed, Luo Yue was shocked to find that his attack had landed on the earth shield of Hen Duan, and Hen Dau's attack was flying towards him as the smoke cleared.
Luo Yue quickly dodged, and the attack knocked down a tree. The evil power of Hen Duan instantly corroded the entire tree trunk, quickly turning it into ashes.
Yu Long took advantage of the attack's interval to crouch down like a hidden dragon, then used vitality to strike at Hen Duan's body. Luo Yue reacted quickly, immediately stepping forward to restrain Hen Dau with leg techniques.
Hen Dau quickly reacted, crossing his hands and quickly lowering his body, causing the two to only hit his two earth shields. He then quickly exerted force to push open the two earth shields, dodging Luo Yue's sweeping kick and directly attacking the gap in Luo Yue's raised leg, pushing him away. Hen Dau then turned to block Yu Long's sweeping kick with an earth shield, beginning a footwork confrontation with Yu Long.
Yu Long quickly crouched down to search for Hen Duan's legs, but his sweeping leg was intercepted by Hen Dau. He quickly saw Hen Dau's low sweeping leg coming towards his head, and as Hen Dau's body was now exposed with both shields open, Luo Yue once again used vitality to launch a curved blade strike. Yu Long quickly leaned back to leverage the force, using his already swept legs to carry Luo Yue's strike and hit Hen Dau's back of the head. Hen Dau was pushed back, and the two of them further approached the seal.
"This is exhilarating, exhilarating!" Hen Duan laughed. Yu Long noticed something unusual under his feet and immediately pushed Luo Yue away. It turned out to be an illusion created by Hen Duan. As long as the illusion was physically struck, it would activate a formation, sealing the target with a huge stone formation!
"Unfortunately, it's too late!" Hen Duan Looking at his masterpiece, a huge barrier composed of Earth attribute and evil power has already trapped Yu Long. "Girl, stop daydreaming. Soon it will be your turn to meet your ancestors with your teacher."
"Teacher Yu Long!" Luo Yue cursed inwardly, anxiously looking around and at the scene beneath her feet, she breathed a sigh of relief, temporarily not worrying about the second mechanism.
Meanwhile, Yu Long stood up again in this pitch-black darkness.
It seems I have to take a gamble. Luo Yue, you must hold on!
Yu Long draws the outline of Tai Chi with both hands, activating vitality, while outside, Luo Yue is about to engage in a new battle with Hen Duan.
Rebirth in Adversity
As Luo Yue and Hen Dau struggle, inside the arena, her worried companion is also fighting with all their might.
When Long Shan opens his eyes again, they have turned deep purple, unleashing a stronger malice to attack Shao Meng. Long Shan dashes like a phantom in the prototype arena, the swift movement causing a breeze that makes the hair tremble. Shao Meng has a very short reaction time and quickly makes a judgment, but the opponent seizes the initiative. Although Shao Meng quickly blocks the attack, the fast-moving Long Shan is still just a lingering shadow in front of Shao Meng.
"Child, you are too slow," Long Shan sneers inwardly at the slight change in Shao Meng. How can they suddenly speed up? The momentum just disappeared. They haven't even used their full strength yet. What should they do?
Shao Meng frowned, "Damn it, these afterimages, I can't find the target at all. Do we have to keep defending like this?"
The afterimages of Long Shan kept attacking Shao Meng's defense, sometimes appearing behind, sometimes in front, sometimes at the side or above. Within these afterimages, it seemed like there were hundreds of Long Shan, while Shao Meng only had one, urgently trying to find the real position of Long Shan.
The unpredictable attacks of Long Shan made Shao Meng somewhat puzzled in defense. Under pressure, Shao Meng decided to stop defending in place and instead take the initiative to move in defense, also looking for opportunities in the process.
Outside, several evil spirit watched this drama, each sighing in their hearts. When will they be able to act? If this continues, can Shang Qing really be relied upon?
Moreover, the soul had been gone for so long that its vitality could no longer be sensed. Could it be that the arriving hero had already defeated the soul? These unfounded speculations made several onlookers, the Liu Hen, restless as they anxiously awaited the outcome from the other side where Hen San was watching.
"San, why are you still silent at this moment? If we delay any longer, will we have to sacrifice all the Liu Hen?" Hen Dau vented his frustration with a punch against the mountainside, causing the surrounding area to tremble.
"Yes, if something happens to the soul, doesn't that mean the seal we promised Shang Qing to guard has already been broken? What should we do next?" Hen Sha shook his head and helplessly asked Hen San.
"When it's your turn to step up, it's also our turn to act, right, San?" Seeing that Hen San remained silent, Soul Fall turned back to watch the imprisoned Ran Xing and stopped pressing for answers.
Hen Dau was filled with frustration and let out a long sigh. With both the leader and Hen San not speaking, even if he had immense abilities, he could only remain here like a nail, unable to move an inch.
Shao Meng narrowly dodged another lethal strike and barely managed to stand firm. He observed the direction of the afterimage; it was rotating from west to east and could launch a sudden attack at any moment. He wondered if he could attempt a counterattack by breaking through in reverse.
Without thinking too much, Shao Meng immediately activated Vitality, attempting to attack Long Shan's afterimage, only to find it ineffective. Vitality began to rotate in the direction of the afterimage's movement. The two poles of Tai Chi divided into Yin and Yang, mutually transforming and existing as one entity with two sides. Since he was moving from west to east, I would move from east to west. When Yin and Yang collided, it broke your barrier.
"Good, the opportunity has come!" Shao Meng faced Long Shan, who emerged from the afterimage, quickly dodging his attack. His own Vitality was still flowing within the afterimage. With a mindset of taking a gamble, Shao Meng activated Vitality and moved rapidly against Long Shan's direction. As they continued to clash during their swift movements, the two streams of Vitality instantly caused explosions. If it weren't for Long Shan's barrier, the laboratory would have likely collapsed by now.
"Too slow! Too slow! Too slow!" Long Shan thundered as he began to collide with Shao Meng, who was moving in reverse towards him. He dodged Shao Meng's high kick and retaliated with a punch, but Shao Meng elbowed him back. This caused Long Shan to interrupt his own attack as they continued to move in opposite directions, relentlessly pursuing each other and exchanging blows for dozens of rounds.
"Now that's more like it! But still a bit slow," Long Shan personally demonstrated what speed meant. This technique, also known as Ze Dui: Spiral, was an illusion created by Long Shan through high-speed movement. To the one being attacked, it appeared as if there were dozens or even hundreds of Long Shan's afterimages, but there was only one True Form. At this moment, Shao Meng's fiery Vitality also played its role; all the real positions of those afterimages were now exposed before him, just waiting for his deadly strike.
"It's time to end this!" Shao Meng shouted loudly, then formed his hands into a Technique—"Fire Attribute: Vengeful Technique!"
The flames in the arena seemed to have received a command, converging towards the swiftly moving figure of Long Shan. All the flames from dozens of small dragons instantly transformed into one giant dragon. With Shao Meng's shout, the arena was instantly filled with fire. As Shao Meng's shouts grew louder, finally, the astonishing scene that surprised Shao Meng appeared.
Long Shan surprisingly did not counterattack. In a burst of purple light, the barrier, unable to bear the strain, exploded, sending several nearby evil spirits flying and shaking the surrounding area for miles. Yes, Shao Meng had won, panting heavily and kneeling on the ground, gasping for air.
"Shao Meng, what's going on?" Ran Xing, who had been unconscious for so long, suddenly woke up.
Long Shan then revealed the mystery. In order to fulfill his promise, he had long ago temporarily suppressed Ran Xing's consciousness. And Liu Hen had no orders of their own, none dared to act on their own, not even Hen San, who had been waiting for his command outside the arena.
"It seems you have indeed grown up, child. Before I change my mind, take your companion Fire and go. I'll give you two cups of tea." Long Shan showed a slightly satisfied expression.
"I promised you that if you won, you could take your companion Fire with you." Long Shan continued, lifting the teacup and sitting back in his chair.
Why, after many years, did uncle and nephew or mentor and student have to meet again as enemies? Why, after many years, did one's own family betray their own side to join the enemy? Why use this method to indirectly train oneself? Shao Meng had many doubts in his heart as he looked at Long Shan, who had already put down the second cup of tea, and still spoke out.
"Answer my question!" Shao Meng looked at the now somewhat unusual Long Shan, but lowered his tone, gritting his teeth, still refusing to leave with Fire.
Yes, before saying this, he was Long Shan, but after the second sentence, he was no longer Long Shan, but the enemy!
Long Shan was also unapologetic, finishing two cups of tea in one gulp, crossing his hands behind his back, and gathering his purple malevolent thoughts. "You still don't have the qualifications to know," he said before closing his eyes. Several Liu Hen had already surrounded Ran Xing, who was being supported by Shao Meng.
"I've already told you, you can leave. If you don't, I'll be the one collecting your corpse today," Long Shan said mercilessly, smashing the teacup. The Liu Hen had already revealed their respective evil powers.
"Let's go, Shao Meng. Now is not the time for this," Ran Xing instantly grabbed Shao Meng, signaling with his eyes that they shouldn't linger.
"Now is not the time for playing house. Don't forget the other thing you have to do. We still need to find Teacher Yu Long!" Although Ran Xing didn't know what had happened outside after being knocked unconscious while protecting Luo Yue, it was clearly unwise to immediately engage in a battle beyond his own strength upon regaining consciousness. He quickly turned around and pulled Shao Meng, swiftly leaving the place.
At this moment, despite having countless doubts, they could only wait to uncover the truth in the future!
