Chapter 260: Chapter 260: Superior Swordsmanship, Securing the Item
“`
The Cold Light Sword knocked aside the sharp claws.
Huo Yunjie took advantage of the rebound force to retreat two steps, also using the Wind Spirit Step to dodge. With a higher cultivation level, he was quicker and more agile than Long Tianxing.
In a brief moment, Huo Yunjie had already circled to the rear.
His sharp longsword thrust towards Long Tianxing’s shoulder.
The cold gleam reflected off the blade was exceptionally blinding, accompanied by a piercing tremble that sent chills down the spines of the onlookers.
Crack!
Long Tianxing, whose reactions were not slow, grabbed the Cold Light Sword between his claws, and his feet also struck out swiftly, stepping on Huo Yunjie’s feet.
Whoosh!
The tail that Long Tianxing had grown in his Dragon Transformation Form swept across, aiming to hit Huo Yunjie, who hastily formed a hand sign with his empty left hand and cast the Iron Shield Technique to block the incoming attack.
The two exchanged blows, each more spectacular than the last.
Below the arena, people from various powers watched, astounded.
“Good, exciting!” Xuangui Zhenren praised.
“This is what you call evenly matched; it’s always these kinds of battles that are the most exciting to watch, as no one can guess who will emerge victorious,” said the Yuebang Lady in a soft voice.
“To have such strength at the ninth level of Qi Refinement is remarkable.”
“Which powers do such disciples belong to?”
“I bet it’s Star-Level Forces.”
The cultivators seated around discussed fervently.
“Huo Dao You is really so handsome!” Ning Yujie licked her lips. “I really want to capture them both and bring them back to the sect to be my dual cultivation companions!”
“Um… Fairy Ning, I think I’m not bad either, can you capture me to be your dual cultivation companion too?” a Demi-transformed Demon Beast with a toad’s head chuckled lewdly.
“Ptui, toad, get lost!” Ning Yujie scolded.
“Heartless!” the toad-headed demon beast sighed regretfully.
On the arena.
The two brothers were still dueling.
Long Tianxing fought with sweeping, powerful moves, using his strong Dragon Transformation Form as the primary method, with various spells as support, gradually suppressing Huo Yunjie.
“Tian Xing’s strength is becoming stronger and stronger!” At the peak of Misty Peak, “Voyant Demon” Ye Feng had been watching secretly from the shadows.
Ever since he entrusted Gong Qingqiu with the affairs of the sect, he found himself with ample free time.
From the moment Huo Yunjie and his group headed to Haijin City, Ye Feng had been observing in secret, discovering the existence of Haijin City for the first time.
“This city must belong to a power on the other side of the Taiyue Mountain Range. Because of the dangerous mountains between, it has little contact with powers like Whitefloat City, Sanyuan City, Beacon Fire City, and Nanwu City.”
Ye Feng muttered to himself while looking into the Heaven-Asking Mirror.
Haijin City’s comprehensive strength was not weak, with Xuangui Zhenren and the Yuebang Lady in command, in addition to the presence of High Ranked Sects like Huli Sect. Altogether, it was no less than the previous Whitefloat City.
“I wonder if Tian Xing can put enough pressure on Yun Jie to help him break through his bottleneck.”
“But whether it succeeds or not, it’s good for brothers to spar and learn from each other.”
“And I… I should also set out.”
Ye Feng looked in the direction of Haijin City, put away the Heaven-Asking Mirror, descended Misty Peak, and found the Thousand Faces Demon Monarch standing there.
“Let’s go, time to test out the new thing.”
“Yes, Sect Leader.”
As the two walked, they merged into one, becoming a white-robed young master with a folding fan, leisurely flying towards the Taiyue Mountain Range.
…
Boom!
Long Tianxing disrupted the view with Falling Blooms in Profusion and followed up with Binding Spirit Rope to entangle Huo Yunjie’s hands, striking out with a heavy punch that forced the latter to retreat repeatedly.
“Huo Dao You!”
Ning Yujie was startled watching from below.
Seeing this, Wang Ping’an muttered, “Big Senior Brother, do you think Second Senior Brother could lose?”
“He probably won’t,” Shi Lei was also uncertain.
Long Tianxing’s strength had been very average, but ever since awakening his bloodline and being able to enter the Dragon Transformation Form, his combat power grew stronger and stronger.
The reason why they felt Huo Yunjie might not lose was mainly that he had not used the Sword Drawing Technique. If he did, even those in the Element Gathering Realm could be cut down.
“`

But sparring with fellow disciples couldn’t possibly involve such terrifying sword moves; it was enough to stop once a touch was made.
“Second Senior Brother, is my pressure enough?”
Huo Yunjie continued to attack fiercely, his hands turning into a dense pattern of claw marks, forcing Huo Yunjie to keep retreating as he asked in a deep voice.
“Indeed, there is a lot of pressure.” Huo Yunjie responded. “However, just this won’t make you my match.”
Clang!
The Cold Light Sword suddenly shook violently, and a terrifying burst of sword qi slashed out, actually sending Long Tianxing flying several zhang away.
“Eh, why was my movement a bit slow just now?” Long Tianxing was surprised.
He continued to attack but found himself as if tripped up by something, his movements becoming slow again.
Afterward, Long Tianxing was sent flying by a sword strike from Huo Yunjie.
“I understand now, it’s Divine Sense Power!”
Long Tianxing suddenly realized.
Turns out, Huo Yunjie had actually cultivated the “Nine Revolutions Heavenly God Technique” to the first stage of Perfection, allowing him to exert power equivalent to the peak of the third level of Qi Refinement.
That was why Long Tianxing was tripped up.
“But my strength is not limited to this.” Huo Yunjie took a deep breath, and the Cold Light Sword suddenly hovered in mid-air, his hands forming seals, with a white and a red flame appearing in his left and right hands respectively.
As the two flames merged, Huo Yunjie’s aura increased by one-tenth.
“What spell is this?”
“I’ve noticed that this person’s aura has improved; could it be an Auxiliary Cultivation Method?”
The spectators below showed surprise in their eyes.
Only Wang Ping’an, Shi Lei, and Long Tianxing saw the trick.
This was the mark of the Auxiliary Cultivation Method “Water Radiance Technique” reaching the first layer of beginners!
Clang!
Huo Yunjie used the spell “Streaming Light Sword Qi” again, his aura becoming even more enduring and fierce, pushing Long Tianxing back several steps.
“First using Divine Sense Power to restrict me, then employing the “Water Radiance Technique” to amplify one-tenth of the combat strength, with such a loss and gain, Second Senior Brother’s strength has increased a lot. I’m actually starting to be at a disadvantage,” Long Tianxing thought surprisingly.
He admitted that Huo Yunjie’s combat experience was richer than his own.
Facing the fierce sword radiance coming at him again from Huo Yunjie, Long Tianxing wielded his claws to defend, but gradually he could no longer dodge.
Eventually, Long Tianxing was sent flying by one of Huo Yunjie’s swords and fell off the platform.
Huo Yunjie, victorious!
Although Long Tianxing was not injured and seemed to be on equal footing, this was a platform battle, and whoever left the field first lost.
“I lost.”
Long Tianxing exited his Dragon Transformation Form and cupped his fists toward Huo Yunjie on the platform.
“Junior Brother Long, actually, if it were a fight to the death, you could have dealt with me early, after all, that one move of mine takes time to use,” Huo Yunjie whispered.
Long Tianxing knew Huo Yunjie was referring to the Sword Drawing Technique.
In a death match, the Sword Drawing Technique was terrifying, Long Tianxing knew he couldn’t block it, but he could have finished off Huo Yunjie before the Sword Drawing Technique took effect.
“Good, good, good. Your sparring between brothers is spectacular; it has delighted me to watch!” Xuangui Zhenren applauded continuously.
“This Gold-fused Fallen Moon Bead is yours now,” the Yuebang Lady said lightly waving her hand, and the aura of the Element Gathering Realm surged forth.
A hundred-year-old Gold-fused Fallen Moon Bead slowly flew out, hovering in front of Huo Yunjie.
Amidst the envious and resentful gaze of the crowd, Huo Yunjie received the Gold-fused Fallen Moon Bead, finally completing his first Elder-level mission.
“Huo Brother, you are so powerful, I like you so much!” Ning Yujie, looking at Huo Yunjie, could not help but lick her lips.
“Ning Brother, you flatter me.” Huo Yunjie nodded slightly.
At that moment, Xuangui Zhenren took the hand of the Yuebang Lady and said to everyone, “Let’s conclude this birthday celebration here, everyone, you may disperse!”
“Farewell to the Zhenren and Lady!”
The crowd cupped their hands at the two Transformative Demon Generals, and then, looking at Huo Yunjie and his group with varying expressions, a fire seemed to flicker in their eyes.
“Huo Brother, would you be interested in visiting our Feihua Sect?” Ning Yujie asked softly with a smile, extending an invitation.
“Some other day,” Huo Yunjie shook his head.
They still had missions, and moreover, after obtaining a hundred-year-old Gold-fused Fallen Moon Bead, it was unwise to linger in Haijin City.
