The righteous path punishes Heaven

Chapter 59 Qigong

All eyes were focused on that figure, who was none other than Zhang Yunling.

Ren Tianxiong flew to his side and said in a deep voice, "Yun Ling, what are you doing now? What do you mean by a blood feud?"

Zhang Yunling's lips curled up as he pointed at Chu Yan and coldly laughed, "This woman has an absolutely beautiful appearance, but in reality, she is dark, vicious, and ruthless! Years ago, she killed my father and stole my cultivation. Now, I have worked hard and started cultivating from scratch, and I finally have the opportunity to challenge her again!"

Upon hearing this, the other Quanzhen disciples exclaimed in surprise, and some began to question:

"Kill your father? Wasn't it because the Ice Lotus Fairy wanted to become your Daoist partner but you refused?"

"Senior Brother Zhang's words are a bit abrupt; they sound like they were made up."

Zhang Yunling ignored the disciples, bowed to Ren Tianxiong, and flew straight towards the Grand Martial Arts Arena.

Chu Yanbing disregarded everything else, her eyes filled with murderous intent, and raised her long sword, pointing it at Zhang Yunling: "Fine, fine, if you have the guts, then come on!"

A major battle was about to break out, and no one could stop the highly charged scene. Ren Tianxiong didn't say much, but just watched from the sidelines, paying close attention to the battlefield situation to prevent any accidents from happening.

The two stood on either side of the large martial arts arena. Although they were a hundred meters apart, their auras were so powerful that they covered the entire arena. The killing intent contained within them made the surrounding disciples shudder and break out in a cold sweat.

This stalemate lasted for several dozen breaths. Seeing that Chu Yanbing remained motionless, Zhang Yunling stopped probing and took the initiative to attack. His perfect Foundation Establishment Great Perfection cultivation soared into the sky, and dozens of raging flames as big as boulders condensed behind him, bombarding Chu Yanbing in a carpet bombardment!

"Hmph!" Chu Yanbing snorted coldly. With a step, she dodged the dozen or so fireballs that were thrown down first. However, the remaining attacks left no blind spots and completely surrounded Chu Yanbing.

Faced with the overwhelming sea of ​​fire that offered no chance of escape, Chu Yanbing suddenly raised her longsword and simultaneously made a hand seal with her left hand. Instantly, a dazzling blue light burst forth from the blade, which then condensed and quickly formed a semi-circular blue ice shield, enveloping Chu Yanbing entirely and blocking all the descending fireballs.

Just as this wave of attacks ended and Chu Yanbing slowly retracted her ice shield, several afterimages flashed by, but Zhang Yunling on the other side had vanished without a trace.

However, Zhang Yunling, having used the second level of the Divine Speed ​​Ghost Step, had reached a speed that was invisible to the naked eye. No matter what level of cultivation you were, as long as Zhang Yunling focused on activating this technique, you could remain undetected.

Rushing towards Chu Yanbing's back, Zhang Yunling's True Yang Finger, which had been secretly gathering power in his right hand, suddenly struck out, pointing directly at Chu Yanbing's shoulder.

But in that instant, Chu Yanbing's figure also suddenly disappeared from the spot, and Zhang Yunling's finger missed its mark, hitting the air.

Then Chu Yanbing appeared directly behind Zhang Yunling. Her ice-blue hair fluttered in the wind, and her white robes exuded elegance and aloofness. She raised her long sword and slashed it down at the back of Zhang Yunling's head. The extreme cold spread rapidly, and life and death were only a moment apart!

"Choose to get close to me? Hmph! This is the moment I've been waiting for!"

Zhang Yunling sneered, and his black Taoist robe ripped open with a tearing sound, as his muscles stretched it open. He turned around and punched the sword blade, emitting a terrifying and imposing aura.

As his massive physique was revealed, everyone was shocked. Zhang Yunling's broad-shouldered and backed body was covered with scars, and clear muscle lines were visible on his fair skin. The contrast between the two and the horrifying scars created a very strong visual impact.

Although Chu Yanbing's cultivation level was two whole levels higher than his, her frail physique was incomparable to his own. Zhang Yunling analyzed the next attack route, preparing to use his powerful physical cultivation to gain the upper hand.

Chu Yanbing was also shocked by what she saw. The long sword in her hand was still trembling, and her wrist was also a little sore and numb.

"This kid has put in a lot of effort over the years. It seems that a one-hit kill is not possible. I must keep my distance and wear him down from a distance." Chu Yanbing thought to herself. Then she chanted an incantation and slashed the ground with both hands holding her sword. A huge sword aura shot out from the blade and rushed towards Zhang Yunling's burly body!

"A mere trick!" Although Zhang Yunling's body had grown considerably larger due to the explosion of his physical cultivation, it did not affect his use of the Divine Speed ​​Ghost Step. Zhang Yunling's body disappeared into the ground like a ghost, and the huge sword energy struck empty air.

The next moment, Zhang Yunling appeared directly in front of Chu Yanbing. The True Yang Finger he condensed in his hand, which was even more powerful than the last time, was aimed directly at Chu Yanbing's chest in an instant. If this attack hit, even if the opponent was a Nascent Soul cultivator, Chu Yanbing would be seriously injured!

"Boy, you're arrogant and conceited; you've long since met your demise!"

Chu Yanbing's face was contorted with rage. Her left hand had already condensed spiritual energy, forming a giant, dark blue claw several times larger than her original hand. As if teleporting, she dodged the True Yang Finger to the left, while her giant claw struck out swiftly, tearing Zhang Yunling apart along with his skin and flesh, revealing his white ribs!

Having landed a successful blow, Chu Yanbing pressed her advantage. The longsword in her right hand shone brightly, and the surrounding aura quickly turned icy cold. Zhang Yunling's speed was also slowed down considerably, giving Chu Yanbing an opportunity. The blade burst forth with a shockingly cold light, and the sword was plunged directly into Zhang Yunling's abdomen!

No blood flowed out, because as the blade pierced through, Zhang Yunling's entire body felt as if it had fallen into an ice cave, his muscles were frozen stiff, and he lost all ability to move.

It turns out that the sword aura with a long recovery time was actually a flaw deliberately exposed by Chu Yanbing, so that Zhang Yunling would seize the opportunity to rush in front of her and try to engage in close combat.

Chu Yanbing walked slowly to Zhang Yunling, her face contorted with rage, and said in a low, mocking voice, "What? Is this all you have to offer for a duel with me? Is this all the progress you've made in nineteen years? The weak have no right to live, as they did back then, and even more so today!"

After saying that, Chu Yanbing's left hand claws shot out again, fiercely grabbing towards Zhang Yunling's abdomen and dantian!

"Shut up. You call me arrogant? You're no different."

Zhang Yunling's previously panicked expression has now turned calm and composed. Chu Yanbing, who thought victory was assured, had to be cautious despite her powerful cultivation level when she sensed the sudden fluctuation of spiritual energy.

Because this fluctuation was extremely strange, it did not originate from Zhang Yunling, but came from all directions, as if everything around was affected by Zhang Yunling's words.

"By consuming the dantian of others to enhance your own cultivation, you have already lost your essence. The qi in your body does not belong to you at all, and the power you obtain is all false and vulnerable!"

As soon as he finished speaking, Zhang Yunling's battered body began to slowly recover, and the surrounding spiritual energy was also drawn by his will, beginning to gather towards him.

Chu Yanbing's original vast reserves of spiritual energy, which belonged to a Nascent Soul stage cultivator, were now being continuously depleted by the fluctuations, and a sense of crisis welled up in her heart.

"How is this possible? What kind of sorcery is this?!" Chu Yanbing took a sudden step and quickly retreated, trying to distance herself from Zhang Yunling, but it was too late. The ghostly nascent soul in Chu Yanbing's dantian had been completely affected by this strange fluctuation and began to become unstable.

The souls of other cultivators that had been refined within the Ghostly Nascent Soul began to tremble faintly, and even cries could be heard from these souls in the darkness. Along with the continuous loss of spiritual power and the instability of the Nascent Soul within her body, Chu Yanbing suffered unimaginable torment and torment.

Even the usually proud and aloof Chu Yanbing collapsed to her knees due to the immense pain, with purplish-black blood spilling from her mouth. Her pupils trembled, unable to believe what was happening before her eyes.

It turns out that the attack that rushed in just now was also a weakness that Zhang Yunling sold to Chu Yanbing! Although this technique can activate spiritual energy, his cultivation level is not high enough. The safest way to activate it successfully is to make physical contact with Chu Yanbing.

Zhang Yunling's hands moved continuously, and as he recalled the scroll he had once comprehended, he felt a surge of emotion.

Step by step, Zhang Yunling walked towards Chu Yanbing, who was lying on the ground. He looked down at her like a victor, and uttered a mocking tone:

"Did you ever imagine you'd end up like this, utterly humiliated and killed by an ant like me? Those who do many evil deeds will surely perish. Since Heaven won't kill you, then I will act on behalf of the countless cultivators you've harmed!"

The oppressive feeling brought by the surrounding spiritual energy grew stronger, and even remnant souls began to break out of Chu Yanbing's body, responding to Zhang Yunling's resonance.

At this moment, Chu Yanbing was at her weakest. The golden ball of light that Zhang Yunling had condensed in his right hand had finally taken shape, gathering all the spiritual power in the surrounding world. Even though he was just a weak Foundation Establishment cultivator, he could kill the Nascent Soul cultivator in front of him with this one strike!

"Take this! One Qi Transforms into Three Pure Ones!"
