Aotian stood quietly opposite Qiu Mingjie, his gaze firmly locked onto the latter.
Qiu Mingjie was a genuine Half-Step Human Spirit warrior. Even though Aotian's strength had greatly increased, defeating a Half-Step Human Spirit remained a formidable challenge.
"I don't know what courage you have to challenge me. Is it merely because you obtained the Soul Elder's inheritance?" Qiu Mingjie's tone carried a hint of mockery.
Aotian replied calmly, "You will know soon enough."
Qiu Mingjie narrowed his eyes and then forcefully pushed off the ground. Instantly, the previously flat earth cracked like a spider web underfoot, and he shot towards Aotian like a cannonball.
Qiu Mingjie's move was like a spark that ignited the atmosphere of the battlefield.
Snow Qincheng faced Feng Moyang, the Xiao Brothers battled Bing Long, and Xiao Ya confronted Wu Changlong. The fierce winds and overwhelming force scattered in all directions, seemingly proving the brutality of these encounters.
Xiao Ya glanced at Snow Qincheng and then at Aotian in the distance, murmuring, "Feng Moyang is definitely no match for Miss Snow, but it will take time for her to defeat him. I just hope Aotian can hold off Qiu Mingjie until Miss Snow can free herself; then this battle can come to an end..."
"How dare you focus on something else while fighting me? You're truly seeking death!" Wu Changlong roared in anger as he noticed Xiao Ya constantly looking elsewhere.
Xiao Ya coldly smiled and immediately engaged Wu Changlong in battle.
The surrounding warriors kept their distance, fearing they might get caught in the crossfire.
At this moment, everyone had come to their senses. They understood that with their strength, competing for that so-called Treasure would only lead to their demise. The only ones capable of contending with Aotian were Qiu Mingjie and his group. This battle would undoubtedly determine the final ownership of the Treasure.
Although everyone knew they were unlikely to have any connection with the Treasure, such battles were rare to witness. Therefore, they chose not to leave but instead watched with great interest, eager to see whether the local forces of Mystic Spirit Town were stronger or if the outsiders had the upper hand.
On the other side, as Qiu Mingjie flew towards him, Aotian did not dare to be careless. His fists moved like rolling meteors, casting countless shadows that enveloped Qiu Mingjie's vital points.
Qiu Mingjie paused for a moment, then suddenly unleashed a powerful burst of Mystical Energy from his palms. The palm prints spread out, instantly tearing through the air and colliding violently with the incoming shadows of Aotian's fists!
"Boom! Boom! Boom!"
The sound of impacts echoed as the fist shadows collided with the palm prints, sending waves of fierce energy radiating outward, accompanied by continuous explosive sounds.
In the end, after countless collisions, both the fist shadows and palm prints turned to nothingness.
Seeing this, Qiu Mingjie's expression darkened. After all, he was a warrior at the Half-Step Human Spirit level, yet now he was evenly matched with a warrior at the Innate Fourth Layer. How could he face others in Mystic Spirit Town if word got out?
Thinking this, Qiu Mingjie quickly began to form strange hand seals. A menacing skeletal figure appeared faintly above his head.
As Qiu Mingjie continued to change his hand seals, a chilling and eerie aura surged forth from the skeleton, which became increasingly solid.
"Is that the Eclipsing Spirit Skeleton?!"
"The Eclipsing Spirit Skeleton is one of Qiu Mingjie's trump cards; I can't believe that kid forced him to use it."
"It is said that Qiu Mingjie once narrowly defeated Feng Moyang using the Eclipsing Spirit Skeleton. That kid is likely to fall victim to it now."
"The Eclipsing Spirit Skeleton is a high-grade low-tier martial art; if Qiu Mingjie unleashes it now, it should be enough to annihilate all Innate Martial Artists."
"Alas, it's a pity that the mysterious Treasure in the main hall will probably fall into Qiu Mingjie's hands..."
Meanwhile, upon seeing Qiu Mingjie use the Eclipsing Spirit Skeleton, Feng Moyang's expression changed slightly:
"Is that kid really that strong? He actually forced Qiu Mingjie to use the Eclipsing Spirit Skeleton?!
Snow Qincheng's expression changed slightly, as if he had also sensed the Eclipsing Spirit Skeleton's Extraordinary presence. Suddenly, the Crystal Sword in his hand began to tremble violently.
“Ice Soul Sword Technique First Form, Icebound for Thousands of Miles!” Snow Qincheng shouted.
Immediately, a terrifying force of ice surged into the sky, and the ground beneath Snow Qincheng was covered with a thick layer of frost. The ice spread towards Feng Moyang at lightning speed.
Feng Moyang's expression shifted; he felt a strong sense of threat from Snow Qincheng's attack. Clearly, Snow Qincheng had also realized that Aotian was in trouble and wanted to eliminate him as quickly as possible to assist Aotian.
“Hmph, even if you are a Student of Xuantian Academy, I won't let you off easily!”
A fierce glint flashed in Feng Moyang's eyes. He then clenched his fists and struck his own body hard.
Instantly, a mouthful of essence blood spurted from his mouth, which Feng Moyang caught with one hand. He then formed intricate hand seals with both hands. Before long, a massive seal appeared before him.
The giant seal was blood-red but did not exude any hint of Bloodthirst. Instead, it radiated an overwhelming destructive power.
“Shattering Profound Spirit Seal!”
With a roar, Feng Moyang sent the giant seal crashing towards Snow Qincheng, causing the air along its path to explode under the immense pressure...
Meanwhile, Qiu Mingjie's Eclipsing Spirit Skeleton had already materialized, an eerie and strange aura enveloping the skeleton. The skeleton's eyes glowed with a ghostly green light, fixated on Aotian.
Upon seeing the skeleton staring at him, Aotian immediately stiffened. Then, his gaze sharpened, his back straightened like a divine spear ready to pierce the heavens.
In his eyes, there were faint signs of swirling waves, appearing extremely bizarre.
“Aotian, die!”
For some reason, when Qiu Mingjie saw the rolling waves in Aotian's eyes, he felt a dangerous aura enveloping his mind. Thus, he decided not to wait any longer and took the initiative to strike down Aotian.
"Whoosh"
As Qiu Mingjie finished speaking, the skull above him instantly tore through the air, carrying a terrifying momentum towards Aotian.
Before the skull even approached, Aotian felt a heavy pressure locking onto him. He knew that his energy had been locked by the opponent, and he had no choice but to take this attack head-on.
However, Aotian had no intention of evading; he wanted to see just what kind of power was contained within the legacy of the Soul Elder!
"Boom"
An invisible force surged from Aotian's brow, crashing towards the skull like a tidal wave.
Yet, the first wave of attack was instantly shattered by the skull. Aotian showed no signs of surprise; as the first wave of Soul Waves was broken, the second wave followed closely behind, and its power was no weaker than the first...
The soul attack came in waves, each stronger than the last.
This was Soul Martial Arts—Ninety-Nine Overlapping Waves!
