"Whew."
But the warnings from the crowd were still a step too late; the spear behind Yue Zifeng had already pierced his body.
But what shocked everyone was that when the spear pierced through Yue Zifeng's body, his body drifted away like blue smoke.
"Buzz"—
A long sword in the void slashed straight at the spear's owner from an extremely mysterious angle. At this moment, the person was revealed—it was none other than Long Qinian.
"Clone technique?"
Someone exclaimed.
The clone missed the strike and quickly dissipated. But as he dissipated, Yue Zifeng slashed down with his sword, striking the afterimage. Just as everyone thought the sword was useless,
"Pfft!"
A streak of blood light burst forth from afar. The clone that had already escaped far away clearly dodged Yue Zifeng's sword strike, yet was still wounded by the sword energy, leaving a large gash on his chest.
"Roar!"
Long Qinian's avatar let out a furious roar, but the sound was not human but the roar of a giant dragon, filled with endless dragon might amid its fury.
"I see. The dragon's essence blood you absorbed also absorbed its dragon soul. This clone is a puppet formed from its dragon soul, based on your dragon blood. Your dragon blood is endless, and it will never die.
But so what? If that's your trump card, then you won't survive three moves in the next move. Yue Zifeng said coldly.
"Whoosh."
After speaking, he took a step forward. The moment he stepped forward, his entire body vanished. His speed was at an extreme speed, as if he had broken through the constraints of space. All people saw was the afterimage of a long sword, slashing straight at Long Qinian.
"Shameless boasting, shameless arrogance!"
Long Qinian was furious. His trap had failed Yue Zifeng and even provoked his contempt, causing him great humiliation.
"Evil Dragon Protection, Dragon Bones Golden Body!"
Long Qinian roared, his entire body radiating divine light. His flesh was torn open, bone fragments sprouting from beneath his skin, eventually forming golden bone armor that covered his entire body.
Each piece of bone armor carried a terrifying aura. As runes swirled, it was like scales forged by domain artifacts. When the bone armor appeared, his aura erupted like a volcano.
"The bone armor summoned by the Supreme Bone isn't primarily offensive, but mainly defensive."
Someone exclaimed in surprise. Each Supreme Bone carries different abilities—some for defense, some for offense. It has countless attributes and even more special abilities.
However, the Supreme Bone is different from Supreme Blood. Supreme blood can be directly activated to boost combat power, but the Supreme Bone must be fused with it, using Supreme Blood as the foundation to activate its power.
"Boom boom boom..."
As Long Qinian's bone armor appeared, endless lightning intertwined in the void, forming spears and spears that pierced through the void and shot straight toward Long Qinian.
"Heavenly Thunder Forged Armor?"
Someone exclaimed that legend had it that when powerful spells and divine weapons appeared in this world, they would summon heavenly thunder.
Especially powerful armor or armor-type spells, when extremely powerful, are seen as provocations by the Heavenly Dao and punished. If one cannot withstand the Heavenly Dao's might, treasures will be destroyed and people will be destroyed by the heavenly tribulation.
"Boom boom boom... Thunder
Spears roared down, their aura astonishing. Each bolt was almost equivalent to a full-force strike from a city lord-level powerhouse.
But unexpectedly, when the thunder spears pierced Long Qinian's bone armor, the spears shattered with a thunderous crash, unable to damage the bone armor at all.
The thirty-six thunder spears surged forth, but couldn't harm the bone armor in the slightest. After the thirty-six spears, a lustrous glow appeared on the bone armor.
"After the bone armor passes the tribulation and gains the recognition of heaven and earth, it will likely be powerless." A city lord-level expert exclaimed in amazement, such terrifying defense was something they had never seen in their lives.
At that moment, Yue Zifeng had already reached Long Qinian's true form, slashing down with his sword. At that moment, Long Qinian's dragon blood clone, wielding a dragon spear, stabbed straight at Yue Zifeng's back.
"What ...!"
someone exclaimed, "What is Long Qinian doing? Is he trying to use his armor to block Yue Zifeng's attack head-on?"
If he could block Yue Zifeng's sword, Yue Zifeng would surely be killed by his clone. If he couldn't, he would die under Yue Zifeng's sword—his true self would die, and his dragon blood clone would still kill Yue Zifeng.
Because Long Qinian's dragon blood avatar possesses its own consciousness. Even if the original body dies, the avatar will still survive. From this perspective, if they fight head-on, no matter what, Yue Zifeng will be doomed.
But Yue Zifeng slashed his sword, charging forward without giving up. People immediately understood that sword cultivators are proud and confident.
If Yue Zifeng retreated, his Dao heart would be set. As sword cultivators, they weren't afraid of death, but they would never let their Dao heart be hurt. Long Qinian saw this in mind, setting a series of traps. His intentions were terrifying.
"Buzz!"
Yue Zifeng's expression remained calm, his eyes without a ripple as he swung his sword straight toward Long Qinian's head.
"Whoosh."
Suddenly, Long Qinian moved, opening his large hand and revealing a dragon spear in his hand. The spear had originally belonged to his avatar, but now it was in his grasp.
"Clang"
Long Qinian blocked with his spear, a thunderous explosion roared, sword energy roared, tearing through heaven and earth. A black crack stretched all the way to the edge of the world.
Black patterns continued through the spear, continuing on Long Qinian's body, and cracks on the bone armor persisted, stretching from head to toe all the way to the earth.
"Pfft!"
Long Qinian spat out a mouthful of blood, and the divine light on his armor instantly dimmed, nearly shattered by Yue Zifeng's sword.
"What?"
The spectators' eyes nearly popped out in shock. Long Qinian's bone armor couldn't even be shaken by the Heavenly Thunder Spear, and its defense was astonishing—it was nearly shattered by Yue Zifeng's sword.
"Sword Soul?"
Long Qinian retreated far back, staring at Yue Zifeng in terror, his eyes full of disbelief.
His bone armor was riddled with cracks, and the dragon spear in his hand had a peanut-sized gap. This sword nearly shattered both him and his weapon.
Yue Zifeng's sword carried supreme willpower, an energy containing wholehearted and spiritual power, surpassing all laws. The moment the sword struck him, his soul nearly collapsed, feeling as if his soul was about to scatter.
He was both shocked and angry, and terrified. If he hadn't retracted his clone just now,This sword would instantly annihilate him.
"That was the first move just now, now the second move."
Yue Zifeng struck with a single sword and sent Long Qinian back. With a flick of his sword, man and sword merged like a meteor, stabbing straight at Long Qinian.
