Wait, How Did My Digital Girlfriend Become a Sword Immortal? Chapter 572: Still Needs Some Assistance
Chapter 572: Still Needs Some Assistance
Master Yuyao stared at the cola on the table.
She really wanted to drink it.
Although her divine soul was suppressed by the grand formation, her Void Fusion Realm cultivation was more than enough to identify any drugs.
This cola only contained some nourishing components that could slightly enhance combat condition, with absolutely no toxicity whatsoever.
A beverage that makes you burp refreshingly after drinking it...
She originally looked down on it, but since it had been delivered right to her...
Might as well drink it since it's free.
"After finishing this martial duel wine, I will immediately withdraw and fully activate the formation. Please proceed."
Chen Huaian gestured for Master Yuyao and Zhang Mengchu to drink the 'crossed-arm wine'.As the treasure of the Bliss Sect, Ninefold Spring's characteristics were being colorless and odorless with extremely high concealment.
Coupled with the fact that none of the materials used were toxic and the finished pill had no toxicity whatsoever, this was why it was called an ultimate treasure.
Who knows what techniques or materials were used.
Anyway, the Alchemy Sect leader couldn't refine it, and even a Alchemy Saint like Dan Bai couldn't replicate it.
But Ninefold Spring wasn't absolutely without countermeasures.
First, before powerful cultivators, any poisoning attempt couldn't escape their detection.
Second, Ninefold Spring had been tested to have perfect effects on cultivators below Void Fusion fifth layer. It wasn't ineffective against cultivators above Void Fusion fifth layer—rather, Bliss Sect leader Wang Dagen and the sect's ancestors weren't skilled enough to test on cultivators above Void Fusion fifth layer.
So this pill would definitely work on Master Yuyao at Great Ascension stage too, though the effect might be limited and still needed some assistance.
Additionally, the effects didn't immediately activate after taking the pill. The disguised medicinal properties could still be forcibly expelled through energy circulation.
But if vigorous movement occurred after taking it, the effects would quickly and completely erupt.
So would Master Yuyao engage in vigorous movement after taking the medicine?
The answer was definitely yes.
Master Yuyao hated Zhang Mengchu and would certainly attack him fiercely.
Besides, Ninefold Spring had another limitation—it had weak effects on two people with deep-seated hatred.
Unless there was external influence.
And that external influence was the assistance Chen Huaian would provide later.
Chen Huaian slowly retreated from the courtyard, gazing at the Bamboo Sea before him, thinking to himself 'Good luck, Old Zhang'.
He then activated his true essence to fully activate all ninety-nine layers of formation restrictions surrounding the small courtyard.
This way, not even a fly could escape from inside.
After completing this, he went to find Old Demon Xiao.
The upcoming assistance required both his Great Ascension First Tribulation realm and Old Demon Xiao's Great Ascension Three Tribulations realm to complete together.
Two Great Ascension experts joining forces against Master Yuyao—this was giving her plenty of face!
Meanwhile.
In front of Moon Shadow Sect's main hall.
Since Chen Huaian had already left, Li Qingran would preside over the martial duel.
She and the personal disciple of Xuanhe Gate would take the last action, both serving as backup.
On Moon Shadow Sect's side, the first to take the field was Emotionless Sword Duan Feng, facing off against a female cultivator from Xuanhe Gate at Great Perfection Golden Core stage.
"I am Jiang Yuqing!" The female cultivator bowed to Duan Feng with clasped hands, her expression cold.
She looked at the equally expressionless Duan Feng as if staring at her mother's murderer.
"Duan Feng." Duan Feng bowed with clasped hands, neither joyful nor sorrowful.
The two walked onto the Tai Chi diagram in the main hall square and stood on opposite sides.
The observing cultivators below immediately began discussing.
"Jiang Yuqing from Xuanhe Gate? Never heard of her, but judging by her aura, she should have a Single Water Spiritual Root with Great Perfection Golden Core cultivation. Probably quite strong!"
"Hah, so what? Sword Pavilion's Emotionless Sword Duan Feng is famously ruthless. They say his sword intent can cut through everything, even emotional attachments with a single sword stroke."
"Although Duan Feng's sword techniques are powerful, he's only at late Golden Core stage..." A cultivator shook his head. "Being a minor realm behind, he'll probably be at a disadvantage."
"Not necessarily. Duan Feng's sword techniques and intent are superb. With such a small realm difference, shouldn't he be able to defeat a stronger opponent?"
"Master Fa, who do you think will win this match?" Tang San had sharp eyes—he could tell from Jiang Yuqing's aura that she wasn't simple.
This young girl also had a sword aura about her, seemingly not inferior to Duan Feng's emotionless sword.
Who knows where Taoist Nun Qingci found such talent? Why hadn't he encountered any?
"Amitabha. This humble monk is Moon Shadow Sect's Honorary Elder, so of course I believe Duan Feng will win."
Fa Dahai clasped his hands together, devoutly watching the two about to clash.
If he could have a can of cola and Technician 18's service right now, it would be unimaginably wonderful.
Tang San curled his lip.
This old monk was already getting into character...
Before the words faded, the two in the arena had already engaged.
Jiang Yuqing struck first, her green long sword like a swimming dragon emerging from the sea, with continuous sword light, one move after another flowing like clouds and water.
Her sword techniques were indeed exquisite, each strike perfectly placed, fast as lightning, impenetrably dense.
With her Golden Core cultivator's true essence enhancement, sword energy crisscrossed over ten zhang, drawing green trails in the air.
Yet Duan Feng simply coldly gripped his sword hilt.
One sword strike.
An extremely simple strike, yet containing heart-palpitating sharp sword intent. This sword seemed capable of cutting through everything in the world—whether Jiang Yuqing's continuous sword energy or her exquisite sword moves, all appeared as fragile as paper before this strike.
"Clang—"
The sound of metal clashing echoed throughout the training ground.
Jiang Yuqing's green sword was actually suppressed by Duan Feng's black sword upon contact, her continuous offensive abruptly stopping.
Jiang Yuqing's expression changed slightly. She tapped her feet continuously, her body retreating several zhang as agilely as a swallow, while her long sword fluttered like pear blossoms, attempting to find an opening with faster sword speed and denser attacks.
But Duan Feng still simply swung his sword.
Second strike, slash!
This strike was even more fierce than the first. Black sword energy swept across like a bolt of silk, directly crushing all of Jiang Yuqing's sword moves. Jiang Yuqing only felt an irresistible force assaulting her, her long sword nearly flying from her hand.
Gritting her teeth, she forcibly stabilized her posture, only to find Duan Feng already closing in.
Third strike, break!
This strike pointed directly at Jiang Yuqing's chest, the sword intent so fierce it made hearts tremble.
Jiang Yuqing hurriedly raised her sword to block, only to hear a "crack"—her top-tier spiritual artifact actually snapped in response!
Swish—!
Duan Feng's black sword stopped three inches from her throat.
"I concede." Duan Feng sheathed his sword and retreated, his tone still cold.
Jiang Yuqing stared blankly at her broken magic sword, her face full of disbelief.
Her fast sword techniques cultivated painstakingly for years were actually so worthless before Duan Feng?
Taoist Nun Qingci later improved her aptitude, invested so many resources, and even gave her stronger internal techniques to practice.
Even her sword techniques—she found an earth-grade fast sword style for her to practice.
She thought that even if she couldn't defeat Duan Feng quickly, at least she could exhaust him with her true essence.
But the result... she was instantly defeated just like that?!
This feeling of complete crushing defeat made her hands tremble slightly.
Victory and defeat had actually been decided within three sword strikes.
But the result... she was instantly defeated just like that?!
But Jiang Yuqing seemed somewhat distraught.
The difference between ordinary cultivators and genius cultivators in terms of mental fortitude was vividly displayed.
Duan Feng achieved victory in three moves, neither joyful nor sorrowful.
While Jiang Yuqing nearly had her Dao Heart shattered watching.
The observing sect elders couldn't help but frown.
Just a martial duel, and moreover losing to a Sword Pavilion disciple famous for sword Dao—was she really this affected?
How strange!
With such poor mental fortitude, how did she cultivate to Golden Core Great Perfection?
