Chapter 594 Fierce Battle
"Fellow Daoist Qin, before we trade blows, would you allow this Holy Son to ask a single question?"
Standing high in the sky, Yulongzi spoke with a calm mind and a gentle tone.
His composed demeanor gave no hint that he had come specifically to engage Qin Qin in combat.
"Speak."
Qin Qin rested her hands upon her zither, uttering only a single, cold word.
With a faint smile, Yulongzi asked: "This Holy Son simply wishes to know what exactly my foolish brother sought to take from you in the past."
The moment he spoke, the flames of curiosity within the hearts of the watching cultivators began to burn intensely.
They were equally eager to discover what kind of treasure could compel a Provisional Holy Son of a Holy Land to resort to theft.
Refusing to give a direct answer, Qin Qin replied icily: "If you are capable of defeating the zither in my hands, you shall see it for yourself."
"Very well."
Yulongzi paused briefly before continuing: "In this duel, should this Holy Son lose, my foolish brother's fate is yours to decide. If this Holy Son emerges victorious, then all past animosity shall be erased."
Upon hearing this, Yulong Qingtian’s expression instantly turned grim.
He had never imagined that he, a prestigious Holy Son of the Great Origin Holy Land, would be reduced to a mere wager in someone else's gambling match.
Curse it all!
Had he known things would end up like this, he would have acted personally back then. If he had successfully claimed those eyes, he would not only have avoided today’s humiliation but would have secured his position as Holy Son once and for all.
"That is not enough."
Qin Qin cut him off abruptly.
"I wonder what further conditions Fellow Daoist Qin requires?"
Yulongzi was in no rush to attack. With the Heaven and Earth Great Sage watching, suppressing Qin Qin by force was impossible.
The woman before him had already grasped the True Meaning of the Grand Dao; the Great Sage realm was merely her starting point, and ascending to become a Saint was only a matter of time.
Taking everything into account, settling this grudge today was the most logical path forward.
"If you are defeated, the official in charge who took part in that incident must die," Qin Qin declared, her voice dripping with lethal intent.
"Agreed."
Yulongzi consented without hesitation. In his mind, while he might not be a match for Xiao Chen or Cao Youqian, there was no way he could lose to the woman standing before him.
"Please."
"Please."
As the invitation was exchanged, a heavy pressure radiated from both their bodies.
Whoosh...
With a flick of his cape, an azure Flood Dragon manifested from the void.
It was a four-clawed Flood Dragon standing at the absolute peak of the Nirvana Realm.
Roar!
The beast let out a thunderous cry and positioned itself beneath Yulongzi. He stepped forward onto the dragon's back, and a divine treasure sword, etched with a True Dragon and glowing with celestial light, appeared in his grip.
Bathed in that divine radiance, the dragon carvings on the blade seemed to pulse with life, as if a True Dragon might leap from the steel at any moment.
The Flood Dragon beneath Yulongzi’s feet gave a faint, involuntary shiver the second the divine sword was unsheathed.
The crowd erupted in shock at the sight of the weapon.
"The Yulong Divine Sword!"
"That is the Clan-Suppressing Sword of the Yulong Family. It is rumored that no one has managed to draw it for tens of thousands of years. To think Yulongzi has actually tamed it."
"I wonder if Yulongzi will restore his family's prestige and rise as an Invincible Divine Emperor?"
"..."
Suspended in the air, Yulongzi remained stone-faced despite the chatter of the onlookers, acting as though he heard nothing.
He looked down at Qin Qin and said softly: "Begin your move."
"As you wish."
As she spoke, Qin Qin’s fingers danced across the zither strings. Accompanied by a haunting melody, a barrage of sword energy waves surged toward Yulongzi.
Yulongzi didn't even bother to swing his sword. An azure barrier manifested, halting the waves of sword energy before they could even reach him.
"Is this the extent of your power?"
Yulongzi’s voice held a trace of disappointment. As the words left his lips, he brought his long sword down in a sweeping arc.
"Dragon Soars the Nine Heavens!"
A massive beam of sword energy plummeted from the heavens.
The strike shook the firmament and terrified the spirits; the sound of the blade echoed like a dragon's roar, carrying the momentum of celestial thunder.
Even before the blow landed, it instilled a profound sense of helplessness in those watching.
Among the sword Dao geniuses in the crowd, some looked on with burning competitive spirit, while others felt completely overshadowed.
Clang!
Qin Qin used all ten fingers to violently pluck her strings.
Instantly, a blade of sound waves several dozen feet long erupted with a thunderous boom.
Boom!
The sword energy and the sonic waves collided in mid-air, creating a deafening explosion.
The shockwaves rippled outward, causing the very earth and sky to tremble wherever they passed.
For a moment, the battlefield was obscured by a thick veil of smoke.
It became impossible to see the status of the combatants.
At that moment, a single thought occupied everyone’s mind: both had mastered the True Meaning of the Grand Dao, but it remained to be seen whose comprehension was deeper.
Suddenly, the notes of the zither drifted through the air once more.
As the music rose, the obscuring smoke was swept away.
The spectators looked closer and immediately gasped in astonishment.
"The blindfold of the White-Robed Zither Demon has been removed!"
"Those... those are Double Pupils, and they are clearly no ordinary set."
"Is this the origin of their blood feud?"
The gathered cultivators were well-versed in the world's wonders and recognized at once that Qin Qin’s Double Pupils were extraordinary. It was only natural that the prodigies of a Holy Land would covet such a gift.
Double Pupils against a Divine Sword; this was a spectacle worth watching.
"Double Pupils."
Even Yulongzi felt his heart skip a beat as he stared into Qin Qin's eyes.
"Truly remarkable. It is no wonder my foolish brother craved this pair of eyes. Today, let me witness exactly what makes your Double Pupils so special."
Following his words, his aura intensified once more. The divine sword in his hand radiated a brilliant glow, wrapping both him and the True Dragon beneath him in light.
The azure Flood Dragon was consumed by the sword light and merged into the divine blade.
Yulongzi’s presence shifted, ascending from the Nirvana Realm to that of a Great Sage.
In this instant, Yulongzi stood as a Great Sage of the current era. Though his sword had yet to fall, its mere presence caused every sword in the vicinity to hum in resonance.
"Dragon Controls the Nine Heavens!"
With a thunderous shout, Yulongzi struck again.
As the blade descended, a True Dragon Dharma Idol manifested!
A supreme Dragon Might, coupled with devastating sword energy, roared toward Qin Qin as if to devour her whole.
"World-Destroying Demon Pupil!"
Qin Qin stopped holding back. A beam of contrasting black and white light erupted from her pupils.
It was a radiance capable of consuming the void and obliterating all existence.
The onlookers felt a chill as they watched the void shatter and dissolve wherever the light touched.
This woman was truly terrifying!
Under the watchful eyes of the crowd, the World-Destroying Demon Light instantly erased the True Dragon Dharma Idol and continued its path toward Yulongzi.
"Holy Son, watch out!"
The disciples of the Great Origin Holy Land cried out in a panic.
But it was far too late.
The World-Destroying Demon Light completely engulfed Yulongzi.
Silence reigned!
The entire area became so quiet that one could hear a pin drop. Everyone held their breath, waiting for the smoke to clear.
A moment later, the dark light faded away.
Yulongzi remained standing in the sky, apparently unharmed. Seeing this, the disciples of the Great Origin Holy Land breathed a massive sigh of relief.
Phew...
The other cultivators also marveled at Yulongzi's resilience, impressed that he could survive such a devastating demonic attack unscathed.
Just as everyone expected Yulongzi to launch a counterattack, he spoke: "I have lost this encounter; your understanding of the True Meaning of the Grand Dao surpasses my own."
