Xiao Bieli moved!

His figure seemed to merge with the sword light, transforming into a brilliant white streak tearing across the sky!

Flowing Cloud Sword Technique! Cloud Splitting Moon Fall!

This sword strike seemed poised to sever the flowing clouds and strike down the cold moon, descending with an air of absolute finality!

Chen Qing’s pupils shrank. The boundless power of his Eight Extremes Vajra Body: Tiger Elephant Realm erupted completely. His sinews and bones rang in unison, faintly emitting the roars of a tiger and the trumpeting of an elephant!

He stomped his feet hard, as if becoming one with the earth.

The Cloud-Coiling Spear lay horizontally before him, its shaft erupting with a surge of cyan light!

"BOOM!!!!!!"

An earth-shattering roar echoed!

The brilliant sword light smashed viciously against the dark cyan spear shaft!

A terrifying shockwave of True Qi spread wildly in all directions like a tsunami, forcing the crowd of onlookers to retreat again and again, their faces filled with horror!

A blinding flash of light erupted, swallowing both their figures.

Everyone held their breath, staring intently at the tide of True Qi.

The figures within the tide of True Qi were blurry, but the sound of clashing metal still rang out.

The longer Xiao Bieli fought, the more shocked he became. Chen Qing’s resilience far exceeded his imagination. Coupled with his terrifying brute strength and incomparably sturdy defense, Xiao Bieli found his Langyue Sword Qi could hardly break through. On the contrary, every collision sent a numbing shock through his arm, making his blood and qi churn violently.

’I can’t drag this on any longer!’ Xiao Bieli thought. ’A prolonged battle will consume a massive amount of my True Qi. Chen Qing, on the other hand, possesses a Hard Skill. If this war of attrition continues, I’ll likely be the one to lose!’

At this thought, a hint of determination flashed in his eyes.

The very instant he parried a heavy spear strike from Chen Qing and used the momentum to retreat half a step, the flow of qi within Xiao Bieli’s body suddenly changed!

A completely different, ice-cold aura erupted from him!

Alongside his originally brilliant and cool Langyue True Qi, a bone-chilling, piercing white cold qi gushed forth!

This cold qi seemed slightly inferior to his pure Langyue True Qi, appearing a little weaker, but the moment it emerged, it intertwined with the Langyue True Qi. Although not perfectly fused, they showed no signs of rejection or conflict.

"What?! Two types of True Qi?!"

"Cold Ice True Qi! He actually cultivated Cold Ice True Qi too!"

"My heavens! Cultivating two types of True Qi at the same time? How did he do it? Isn’t he afraid of a backlash from the conflict?"

"Cold Jade Valley... Are they trying to create another Sect Leader Leng?!"

This scene was like a giant boulder thrown into a calm lake, instantly causing a tsunami of shocked and horrified cries!

Everyone present turned pale with astonishment, especially the experts from the various sects, whose expressions changed drastically.

Cultivating an additional type of True Qi meant spending double the effort, time, and resources. The risks were also extremely high; a conflict between the True Qis could lead to serious injury at best, or crippled cultivation and even death at worst.

It was something only those with top-tier talent, perseverance, and resources could even attempt.

If successful, their strength would far surpass others of the same rank, and their potential would be limitless!

Xiao Bieli’s Cold Ice True Qi had clearly been formed only recently and had yet to mature, but this development was already astonishing enough!

The effort and expectations Leng Qianqiu had poured into him were plain to see.

On the high platform, the expressions of the Wutai Sect’s Dean, Elders, and others changed abruptly, their eyes filled with disbelief.

Even the ever-expressionless Leng Qianqiu’s lips curved into a faint, almost imperceptible smile. This was precisely the deterrent effect she had wanted to see.

Shi Kaishan and the others, however, frowned deeply. They had no desire to see another Leng Qianqiu emerge. 𝙛𝒓𝓮𝙚𝔀𝒆𝒃𝓷𝒐𝓿𝙚𝓵.𝙘𝒐𝒎

The sudden appearance of the second True Qi shattered the stalemate.

A bone-chilling aura permeated the air, greatly hindering Chen Qing’s movements. Empowered by the cold qi, the Langyue Sword Light became even sharper and harder to block.

Chen Qing immediately felt the qi and blood in his body turn sluggish, as if he had been plunged into a muddy ice cellar. Even the movements of his Cloud-Coiling Spear grew somewhat stiff, and a layer of frost quickly formed on its shaft.

Empowered by his dual True Qis, Xiao Bieli’s Sword Momentum surged. A terrifying Sword Astral, combining the brilliant moonlight with the grimly cold current, thrust straight toward Chen Qing’s center like a frozen, falling moon!

At this critical moment, a sharp glint erupted in Chen Qing’s eyes!

"ROAR—!!!"

His chest swelled violently as he let out a heaven-shaking, earth-shattering roar!

This was not the sound of a human voice. It was like a tiger’s roar, yet also like the long cry of a divine elephant, containing supreme power and majesty. It was the Sound Attack Secret Technique that could only be activated in the Tiger Elephant Realm of the Eight Extremes Vajra Body—the Tiger Elephant Sound!

The Sound Wave, like a physical impact, instantly dispersed some of the cold qi and shot straight through Xiao Bieli’s eardrums to his Divine Soul, causing his Sword Momentum to falter involuntarily and his Heart and Spirit to tremble!

The experts in the crowd hurriedly sealed their ears with True Qi. Even so, blood trickled from the eardrums of some disciples at the Early-stage Embrace Pill Power, and even some at the Mid-stage Embracing Pill Power turned pale.

At the same time, the muscles on Chen Qing’s arms bulged abruptly, and veins popped out like Qiu Dragons. The boundless True Qi flowing through his eight open Orthodox Meridians began to circulate at an unprecedented speed, surging entirely into the Cloud-Coiling Spear!

The ground beneath Chen Qing’s feet exploded as he moved with his spear, pressing forward with indomitable momentum!

The Cloud-Coiling Spear transformed into a frantic cyan dragon that ripped through everything in its path. The True Qi and Power so highly condensed at its tip even made the air whine as if unable to bear the strain!

Mountain Prison-Suppression Spear! Nine Abyss Prison!

An unstoppable force meeting an immovable object!

Before the eyes of the stunned crowd, the two-colored sword light and the dark cyan Spear Force collided head-on!

"RUMBLE—!!!!!"

A cataclysmic roar, far more violent than any before, erupted!

A blinding light instantly devoured everything. A terrifying, ring-shaped shockwave of True Qi spread wildly outward, forcing the crowd to retreat again and again, their faces pale with terror!

Countless people stared at the stage, their hearts in their throats.

As the light began to fade, a figure was seen stumbling backward, flying through the air. The Long Sword flew from his grasp, spinning until it plunged into the ground in the distance with a mournful cry.

It was Xiao Bieli!

His face was ashen, and a trickle of blood spilled from the corner of his mouth. He finally landed heavily, stumbling back several more steps before managing to steady himself. He had clearly suffered significant internal injuries.

On the stage, Chen Qing still stood tall and unmoving, holding his spear.

The web of his right hand, the one gripping the spear, had split open, and blood snaked down the shaft.

His sleeve was completely shredded, revealing a powerfully built arm.

The victor was decided!

The entire arena fell deathly silent!

A moment later, a thunderous uproar of shock and astonishment erupted, soaring to the heavens!
