Currently, his furious eyes were teeming with malice, and his violet robes ruffled despite the absence of any breeze. He was imposing, just like a mountain.
Li Qingshan realised it was a tenth layer Qi Practitioner with a single glance. Although he did not know it was Wei Zhongyuan, he had basically guessed it already. He halted and called out, “Are you the vice sect master of the Sect of Clouds and Rain, Wei Zhongyuan?”
“Get down here!” Wei Zhongyuan raised his hand, and white true qi gathered in his palm, shooting into the sky as a white blast.
The white light immediately made Li Qingshan think of Hao Pingyan’s Yellow Dragon’s Cannon of Devouring Light. The white light moved with startling speed. Dodging it would be difficult even if he was on the ground, let alone when he was in the sky like right now.
He was surprised, but he did not become flustered. He scooped up Xiao An and leapt. The white blast tore through the cloud, surprising him secretly.
He fell towards the ground. He required time to use the Cloud Riding technique and Mist Wielding technique, and Wei Zhongyuan clearly would not be giving him this time.
Wei Zhongyuan swung his arms backwards. The rock below his feet shattered, kicking up soil. He had already taken off like a cannonball, heading right towards Li Qingshan.
He extended his right hand, striking out again. He was trying to capture Li Qingshan alive.
However, at this moment, Li Qingshan suddenly vanished.
“An Invisibility talisman? Mere trickery.” Wei Zhongyuan snorted coldly, but his expression soon changed slightly. Li Qingshan’s aura had completely vanished as well. Despite his cultivation at the tenth layer, he was unable to detect him.
He raised his arms and launched over a hundred consecutive punches at where Li Qingshan might have landed. Boom! Boom! Boom! Boom! With a string of explosions, a layer of the small mountain was directly carved away, filling the surroundings with dust. However, there were no traces of Li Qingshan. His frown grew deeper.
Being able to hide his body was nothing, but in order to erase his aura so cleanly, he must have practised some sort of secret technique. This kid would definitely become a huge problem in the future.
As a result, he held his breath and concentrated his mind. No matter what secret technique it was, his aura would definitely leak out once he used a technique.
Even kicking up a slightly unnatural breeze could allow him to sense Li Qingshan and get him through his invisibility.
Li Qingshan had obviously used the Glazed Mirror of Invisibility to hide himself. Seeing how Wei Zhongyuan lurked below like an angered lion, he knew that something was amiss, so he unfurled the Clear Stream sword.
The Clear Stream sword hovered in the air, and he stood on it. Although he was nowhere close to sword riding, supporting his own weight was not too difficult.
The only thing he needed to think about was how to deal with Wei Zhongyuan. If regular Qi Practitioners were confronted with such a terrifying enemy, they would definitely be thinking about how they could escape, but Li Qingshan was contemplating on how he could kill him. A tenth layer Qi Practitioner’s hundred treasures pouch would increase his confidence in breaking through to Daemon General.
While the location right now seemed like wilderness, he was just too close to both the Academy of the Hundred Schools and Clear River city. Transforming was extremely dangerous.
But right now, he was the one standing in the light, with Wei Zhongyuan lurking in the shadows. With Xiao An’s assistance, as well as almost ten supreme grade talismans and the Cursive Sword Calligraphy, it was not necessarily impossible. Oh right, he also had the art of controlling swords that he had recently learnt.
The Clear Stream sword produced a green flash as it stabbed towards the back of Wei Zhongyuan’s neck.
Wei Zhongyuan turned around in a hurry. He smiled viciously. “I’ve found you.”
Chapter 277: Meeting Acquaintances Again | Legend of the Great Sage
The flying sword controlled by a mere sixth layer Qi Practitioner was nothing in Wei Zhongyuan’s eyes. It could not even pierce his protective true qi.
Without even looking at the Clear Stream sword, he raised his hand and unleashed a blast towards the flying sword.
With a boom, rocks shot off in all directions and huge trees snapped, but there was still no trace of Li Qingshan.
Wei Zhongyuan frowned. Li Qingshan’s technique of erasing his aura was even more powerful than he had previously imagined.
Li Qingshan stood nearby with Xiao An in his arms. There was not even a speck of dust on him. He formed a seal with his hand and wielded it like a sword, drawing and pointing with it.
The Clear Stream sword cut through the air silently, stabbing towards Wei Zhongyuan’s throat with even greater speed.
Ding! It stabbed into the protective true qi and was unable to advance even an inch further.
“Overconfident!” Wei Zhongyuan said in disdain. He reached towards the Clear Stream sword. As long as he caught the flying sword, he could use the aura on the sword to find Li Qingshan.
The Clear Stream sword suddenly rippled like water, inching through the protective true qi.
Li Qingshan was overjoyed. He poured his strength into the Clear Stream sword in a hurry, and with a flash, it turned into a green streak of light and pierced the protective true qi, brushing past Wei Zhongyuan’s face.
Wei Zhongyuan touched the tiny nick on his cheek. He was shaken inside and furious. If he had not tilted his head in time, his head would have been pierced.
Li Qingshan only found out then that the Clear Stream sword could pierce protective true qi as well. Although this feature was simple and nothing special, it made the sword a true weapon for killing when combined with its speed. It truly deserved its status as a high grade spiritual artifact. However, he had failed to kill Wei Zhongyuan in a single stroke then, which was quite a pity.
However, he would be dreaming if he wanted to kill a tenth layer Qi Practitioner like this. What he was trying to do was to completely agitate Wei Zhongyuan, which would give him an opportunity to strike.
The Clear Stream sword turned around and shot over again.
Wei Zhongyuan no longer handled it carelessly. He used a protective technique. A faint, oval-shaped membrane of light appeared around him. As expected, the Clear Stream sword struggled to pierce it so easily now.
If he forced it through, the sword would probably just be caught by Wei Zhongyuan. As a result, he made the sword linger around to disturb Wei Zhongyuan. It was not like Wei Zhongyuan could find him anyway. He had plenty of time to waste on him.
The Clear Stream sword turned into a green flash. Gradually, Wei Zhongyuan became agitated.
“The Glorious Sun of Brilliance Illuminates the Four Directions!”
Wei Zhongyuan brought his hands together before parting them. He lit up, illuminating the surroundings.
The vegetation yellowed and withered, beginning to burn. Thick billows of smoke rose up.
If he used this move on regular people, he could turn several thousand of them blind. However, the effect on Qi Practitioners was nothing special. It just covered an extremely large range.
Wei Zhongyuan looked around and spotted a blurry figure within the endless light. Raising his arm, a shining sword, three feet long, had already appeared in his hand. The name of the sword was called Three Yang, and it was a high grade spiritual artifact. It had turned into a streak of white light as it shot over like a bolt of lightning.
“Oh no! Clear River sword, go!” Li Qingshan called out.
Clang! The green flash struck the white light, revealing the weapon.
With one bigger and one smaller, the two flying swords entangled with one another, producing a messy string of clings and clangs.
