Legend of the Great Sage

enveloping his surroundings.
Even his breath was not all-conquering.
When the black sand landed on his body, he felt an intense sensation of pain that reached the depths of his soul, which made him furrow his brows.
This was a domain specially used for battle.
It could not be compared with the school of Agriculture’s Secret Realm of Gardens and Fields.

Yue Wuyang narrowed his eyes and locked onto the blade that whistled through the air madly.
He leaned forwards with his tall, straight body like a vicious beast about to pounce.
He pressed down on the spear in his hand, and with a flash through his eyes, he thrusted it through the air.
It was like the rise of a black dragon.

Clang!

The blade and spear collided, and a notch immediately appeared on the tip of the spear.
Yue Wuyang experienced a tremendous force from the blade, which pushed him backwards.
He was alarmed. Just a single tail possesses such great strength? However, he soon became determined. How could I lose to a single tail? Muscles rippled across his arms, pinning down the blade as hard as he could.
The whistling storm came to a halt.

“Nicely done, fellows!” The grandmaster from the school of Daoism called out, “Rain of Lightning!”

Lightning coiled into the figure of the Lord of Thunder.
Suddenly, he unfurled his wings and let out a cry that resembled both a hawk’s and an ox’s, releasing thousands of bolts of lightning that slammed into Li Qingshan’s body.

Li Qingshan was unable to dodge with his colossal size, so he could only take on the attacks.
Under the state of the Frenzy of the Tiger Demon, he could not use any defensive abilities at all, so he was forced to endure everything with this body.
His tall, straight back immediately hunched over.

“This guy sure is troublesome!”

“Kid, have you lost your manhood? They’re trying to kill you! So hurry the fuck up and kill them! Even if they’re your fathers, is this a time for you to hold back? Do you really think you’re invincible?” The Blade Spirit of Frenzy Flower that had remained silent since the beginning of the battle suddenly cursed aloud.

Li Qingshan shuddered inside.
The incidents today had been dangerous, but it was nowhere close to being considered as dire straits, so he did not have the determination for a battle to the death.
Instead, everything had occurred because of the Sword Collection palace, so he did not have much killing intent towards these grandmasters that he was not familiar with.
Instinctively, he would always hold back and leave some room for him as if he was only testing out his abilities.

He could have killed the grandmaster of the school of Agriculture with a single punch, but he planted him in the ground like a joke.
He could have cut down Zhu Fuzi in a single slash, without even giving him the opportunity to escape with his soul nascence, but he did not feel like Zhu Fuzi had harmed him in any way.
He only loathed his foul mouth.

He refused to kill anyone from the Chan Monastery of Deva-Nāga.
Even when he faced the Fierce King of Chu who was determined to claim his life, he could not help but think, He’s Xiao An’s father.
I can’t kill him!

It was exactly these subtle beliefs that served as invisible shackles to his actions, such that all of his abilities and bladesmanship just lacked a little something.
Even in a battle among two mortals, if one had the determination to kill and the other did not, it could decide their very lives.

The palace master looked at Li Qingshan and became even more stern.
This power basically made no sense at all.
Even most of those great Daemon Kings that had lived for millennia did not possess such battle prowess.

“Palace master, do you understand that when you play with fire, you get burnt? I’d advise you to return to the Sword Collection palace quickly.
With the protective sword formation, perhaps you still might be able to protect your life,” said Gu Yanying.

“If he doesn’t die here today, then my Sword Collection palace will never be at peace.
Since you’re running out of patience, then I’ll give you a quick one!”

Abruptly, the Heaven Leaning sword rose high into the air.
Its glow whistled and extended.
By the time it swung down, it had already turned into a huge sword of three hundred meters long, slashing towards Gu Yanying and Hua Chengzan who was in the Hot Wind hell, except the final target was Li Qingshan.

“I’d like to see if you save him or not!”
