The surroundings were eerily silent, and everyone held their breath, afraid of missing an astonishing scene.
Suddenly, Man Qing roared, soaring into the air with a giant sword in hand. He swiftly swung the sword, and several transparent blades shot out from it, all manifestations of the giant sword. Though they were mere illusions, they could still bring death without a trace. It seemed that Man Qing did not believe that Azure Vine's magical power was inferior to his own and was now serious.
Azure Vine frowned slightly; this move had to be countered, or he would either die or be severely injured.
Without time to think further, Azure Vine quickly positioned the ancient sword in front of him and stepped onto the Tip of the Sword, spinning rapidly as if caught in a Tornado. In less than two seconds, an impenetrable Aura formed around Azure Vine's body, transforming into a formidable Tornado.
The transparent blades released by Man Qing pierced through Azure Vine's Tornado but halted just before Azure Vine's forehead. It seemed to struggle, attempting to bring Azure Vine to his demise.
Although Azure Vine intended to concede to Man Qing, he had no choice but to defend against such an attack.
The transparent blades endured for three seconds under the Tornado's tearing force before suddenly shattering with a crisp sound, vanishing simultaneously with the Tornado.
Man Qing was taken aback; he did not expect his full-force strike to be so easily neutralized by Azure Vine. Along with his surprise came a growing resentment towards Azure Vine.
Qing sighed and said, "Junior brother only used eighty percent of his power, yet Man Qing was startled and used all his strength. It seems junior brother intends to lose to Man Qing!"
Upon hearing Qing's words, Lingfeng felt somewhat dissatisfied. The impulsiveness of youth surged within him; he wished nothing more than for his Brother to tear Man Qing apart. He immediately waved his fists in encouragement for Azure Vine, "Brother, go for it! Teach this rash man a lesson..."
Man Qing was already furious; hearing Lingfeng's disrespect only fueled his anger further. He then picked up his giant sword and launched himself swiftly toward Azure Vine.
Azure Vine sighed in distress; it seemed that his opponent now wanted him dead. He also took up the ancient sword and flew toward Man Qing without touching the ground.
The two clashed in mid-air for several rounds, their swords colliding and sending sparks flying. The sword energy released transformed into invisible blades that shattered the surrounding stones into pieces.
The two landed one after the other, without a moment to rest, and immediately began to fight again.
Lingfeng clicked his tongue in secret; the speed of these two was too fast for him to see clearly, and he couldn't help but feel anxious.
Suddenly, Man Qing exerted force in his palm, gathering a surge of True Qi at his fingertips. Like a spider spinning silk, five black threads shot toward Azure Vine.
Azure Vine quickly dodged, piercing one of the threads with the ancient sword in his hand. However, the threads continued to grow, proving to be quite troublesome.
This time, Lingfeng saw it clearly; the black threads seemed to have a life of their own, advancing and retreating in seamless coordination. Before long, Azure Vine was completely surrounded, like prey caught in a spider's web.
"Could it be... could it be that Man Qing has already mastered the Spider Silk Technique?" Water Demon exclaimed in surprise.
The Spider Silk Technique belonged to a form of Demon Cultivation and was not originally part of immortal techniques. However, practitioners of immortality could learn it, though it was extremely difficult.
To practice this Spell, one must first devour forty-nine hundred-year-old Spider Spirits, transforming their souls for personal use, and then consume the spider's silk sac to integrate it into their own body. This Spell is not domineering, but the spun silk is incredibly flexible and can change length at the owner's will.
Gradually, the area enclosed by the silk grew larger; Azure Vine found it increasingly difficult to maneuver within the web woven from the threads, and the ancient sword in his hand felt utterly useless.
Lingfeng clenched his fists tightly, his palms slick with sweat.
However, Qing and the others seemed unfazed, as if they saw nothing amiss.
"Master, please help Brother!" Lingfeng shouted anxiously.
"There's no rush," Qing replied confidently, a smile appearing on his face.
Gradually, Azure Vine had completely stopped resisting. The black spider silk crazily wrapped around Azure Vine, enclosing it tightly, as if it were a creature in a cocoon, sleeping peacefully.
Man Qing had raised the spider web high, laughing triumphantly, seemingly unwilling to release Azure Vine.
"Brother!" Lingfeng was almost in despair. At that moment, he hated Qing and the Water Demon for what they had done. Watching Azure Vine nearly suffocate, his fellow disciples remained indifferent. Was this what they called brotherhood?
Tears streamed from Lingfeng's eyes as he suddenly felt the world grow dark, so annoying and hypocritical. Yet, the pain in his heart was so real.
At that moment, the sound abruptly stopped, and Lingfeng seemed to find light in the darkness as he stood up suddenly.
It turned out that Man Qing's spider silk began to stir uneasily; the black mass of silk resembled a lantern with a hole, emitting dazzling beams of light in all directions.
"Hehehe, no danger at all!" Qing spoke at that moment.
Lingfeng did not understand what was happening; he only knew that Man Qing's face looked terrible, shifting between green and red, truly resembling a colorful lantern.
The brightness emitted by the mass of silk flashed faster and faster until it suddenly contracted, and the beams of light disappeared. Immediately after, the spider silk exploded apart, followed by a deafening explosion.
Azure Vine broke free from its cocoon, flipping in the air before swiftly kicking towards the dazed Man Qing.
"Ah~~!" The stunned Man Qing was kicked hard by Azure Vine and flew backward, jolted back to reality by the pain. He flew several meters but managed to stand up awkwardly, his eyes filled with rage and unwillingness.
Azure Vine had merely been gathering energy and then used all its strength along with its most proficient Spell to break through the spider silk. However, at this moment, Azure Vine's body had already grown weak.
"How could this be? How could my painstakingly practiced Spider Silk Technique for fifty years be undone like this?" Man Qing whispered in agony.
"Haha, Brother Wuqing, the reason I can break your Spider Silk Technique is not that my power has increased, but rather that your Spell has not been fully mastered. I have encountered masters of Demon Cultivation and have seen the Spider Silk Technique before, so I can confidently say that your Spider Silk Technique has at most reached the third level." Azure Vine spoke sincerely, without any intention of mocking, but rather offering guidance.
Man Qing waved his hand arrogantly and retorted, "I don't need you to teach me. I know the quality of the Spell I practice myself; when have I needed your advice!"
Azure Vine smiled instead of getting angry and patiently said, "Brother Wuqing, we are both cultivators. This Demon Cultivator's Spell is indeed not suitable for us. If one is careless, it could lead to demonic deviation."
"Are you implying that my intentions are impure? Fine, old man Azure Vine, take this!" Man Qing gritted his teeth. To him, Azure Vine's smiling face was a mockery. The persistent advice felt like a warning; all of it seemed like a threat.
Then, Man Qing leaped into the air and swung his giant sword towards Azure Vine.
Everyone was shocked; just moments ago, Azure Vine had held back in their previous exchange. Otherwise, Man Qing would have already suffered internal injuries. With their cultivation levels being nearly equal, Man Qing could not be unaware that Azure Vine had shown mercy, which meant he had already lost. Yet he acted like a rogue and launched another attack.
Azure Vine was also taken aback; at this moment, he could barely stand. If they fought again, he would certainly suffer a humiliating defeat. Man Qing roared as he charged at Azure Vine. Without the strength to use a Spell to summon a protective barrier, Azure Vine could only roll to the side to narrowly evade the blow.
Lingfeng watched this unfold with anger brewing inside him. He had already harbored discontent towards Man Qing, and now his actions further fueled Lingfeng's rage.
Just when he didn't know what to do, Lingfeng suddenly remembered something—the dart that Zhi Lian had thrown at Azure Vine when they first arrived here. At that time, Lingfeng thought it was amusing and had pocketed the dart to carry with him.
Lingfeng's eyes glinted with malice as he decided to act. Just as Man Qing was intent on bringing death to Azure Vine, Lingfeng used all his strength to hurl the dart.
The dart shot through the air like a black meteor at an astonishing speed. No one noticed how it flew out; they only knew that the black dart came from Lingfeng.
Man Qing was solely focused on killing Azure Vine and was unaware that danger was approaching him.
With the sun behind him and his giant sword raised high, Man Qing looked like an evil reaper with his mouth agape in surprise as Azure Vine saw a flash of light appear in the air. Just as Azure Vine was about to shout "Not good!"
However, the Shining Black Dart was much faster than the Azure Vine's voice. With a muffled sound, Man Qing's hands, which were holding the giant sword, froze in mid-air, and his gaze gradually lost focus. In despair, he realized that a black Tip of the Sword was protruding from his chest. Then, he fell straight backward. Blood flowed from Man Qing's front and back, pooling on the ground.
Everyone was stunned, hardly believing that Lingfeng could possess such powerful energy. They couldn't even imagine that his age could provide such force to a dart.
Lingfeng was also dumbfounded, standing there at a loss. All he knew was that he had killed someone, a bad person.
The Water Demon gently turned Lingfeng's head toward his chest, afraid that Lingfeng would see such a bloody scene.
Man Qing's body lay in the Main Hall, and at this moment, the leaders of the Central Sect had already left one after another. Their goal of eliminating Man Qing had been achieved; staying here would only bring them trouble. Thus, it was better to leave before they attracted misfortune.
The Peak Masters of Five Peaks gathered in the back hall to discuss matters, contemplating how to deal with what was about to happen next. Lingfeng sat there with his head down, like a child who had made a mistake.
"I suggest we unite all major sects and march into the Barbarian Lands to eradicate all disciples of Man Qing's sect. It would be for the benefit of the people and a blessing for the three realms!" Fire Serpent said eagerly.
Azure Cold snorted, "Hmph, the Barbarians are not some kind of evil monsters harming humanity. Are you not afraid of being reprimanded by Ancestor Master for making such rash statements?"
"Well..." Fire Serpent was at a loss for words. He knew arguing with the leader was futile and could only bang his fist on the chair in frustration and lower his head unwillingly.
