Vol.2-Chapter 217 – Going To Lose?

After Zhou Hongyong’s words echoed, the huge, green lotus suddenly bloomed. The surface of the lotus was covered in black fog. Even the disciples watching outside could tell that the green lotus was very dangerous.

At the critical moment, Zhao Jiuge clenched his teeth and the spirit force in his body surged. Although only one breath of time had passed, countless thoughts had flashed through his mind.

Seeing the Buddhist Green Lotus Spirit Formation, Zhao Jiuge felt his scalp go numb. He initially wanted to defend, but even with the Sanskrit Divine Body operating at its peak, Zhao Jiuge still felt his skin prick. Even if he took out the Star Shield his third senior brother had given him, he wouldn’t be much better off. historical

Zhao Jiuge’s eyes were suddenly filled with madness. If defense wasn’t enough, then he could only counter it with an even more powerful attack.

With so many people watching, along with his own reputation and the Mysterious Heaven Peak’s reputation on the line, he made a decision. Since he couldn’t defend against it, he was going to go all out.

“Look, what is Zhao Jiuge doing?!”

“The winner should be decided with this move. The result of this collision will decide the winner.”

“Looking at the power of the spirit formation, Zhao Jiuge will not be able to resist. There is no suspense left.”

One cry echoed one after the other. Looking at the tense battle, all the disciples’ eyes were widened. They didn’t want to miss a moment. After this collision, the battle should be over, and Zhao Jiuge was expected to lose miserably.

Facing the ferocious spirit formation, Zhao Jiuge narrowed his eyes. Because he was surging his spirit force like crazy, his body shined.

Zhao Jiuge already had a plan to face it head-on, but he wasn’t certain. However, with Elder Wu here, at most he would just be injured and would have to spend a few months recovering. There would be no danger to his life, so he had decided to take the gamble.

Then he sighed in his heart once more and thought he was still very lacking. Not only was his life flying sword not complete, he didn’t have the resources to condense his fourth golden dragon and continue cultivating his Sanskrit Divine Body. If he had these in hand, he would’ve been much more confident and there would’ve been fewer maybes. However, it was impossible for him to retreat, so he could only face it head-on!

After only one breath of time, Zhao Jiuge's narrowed eyes opened.

At this moment, gis aura seemed to have changed completely. His black clothes fluttered and dazzling light flashed.

Then the Big-Dipper Sword in Zhao Jiuge’s hand moved and rays of sword energy flew out like a blooming flower and floated in the air.

Soon, the hundreds of rays of sword energy gathered in the middle, forming a huge, silver moon, which then flew toward the green lotus.

Zhao Jiuge’s body trembled because he had used too much spirit force at once. The egg-sized spirit core inside his dantian emitted a faint mist, and blue and white light faintly shined.

When facing the dangerous green lotus, Zhao Jiuge initially planned to use his final ace and release his spirit core from his dantian. However, he soon calmed down. Not only would he merely be relying on brute force, he would also expose his rank-7 spirit core.

At this critical moment, Zhao Jiuge couldn’t help but think about the spell Master Moon had taught him, Moon Dance, Star River.

Combining sword energy and spirit force to create the greatest offense. Zhao Jiuge didn’t hesitate to use his spirit to launch the single target style, which was the silver moon.

There was something still gathering under the silver moon, like Zhao Jiuge wasn’t done.

Zhao Jiuge’s face had already turned pale. After he used Moon Dance, Star River, his spirit force had dried up. The spirit core inside his body had quieted down and was dim.

Zhao Jiuge had used all of his remaining spirit force on this attack.

The silver moon formed by hundreds of rays of sword energy flew toward the huge, green lotus. The space around the silver moon seemed somewhat distorted.

After this, Zhao Jiuge finished his movement. Hundreds of small, silver swords appeared like a river of stars covering the sky.

This was the group attack style from the Moon Dance, Star River. Zhao Jiuge had used both moves, so it was no wonder his dense Spirit Core Realm spirit force was completely used up. This was more than 200 rays of sword energy. Back in the Spirit Transformation Realm, Zhao Jiuge could only send out a few rays of sword energy.

Zhao Jiuge was only able to do this because of the powerful Sanskrit Heart Sutra and his rank-7 spirit core. An ordinary person would not be able to achieve this.

In the sky, the green lotus and the silver moon and the river of stars joined together. The disciples watching subconsciously opened their mouths and marveled at the two disciples fighting on the stone platform.

It has to be said that no matter who lost, both were worthy of being direct disciples. Most people didn’t know what spell Zhao Jiuge had used, but creating more than 200 rays of sword energy made their scalps tingle.

Even Zhao Jiuge was amazed by Moon Dance, Star River. He didn’t think its power would be so great. It looked like combining spirit force and sword energy through a special method could increase the power several folds.

It sounded like something had broken when a brittle sound echoed. Elder Wu’s calm face changed slightly and he looked above the stone platform.

The light curtain around the stone platform looked like it couldn’t bear the force of the two people going all out. It was flashing constantly and there were already cracks appearing.

Elder Wu knew something was wrong, and a ray of spirit force shot out from his hand and entered the light curtain.

The light curtain that was going to crumble became calm again like nothing had happened. The light curtain was like a pool of water that had a small stone thrown in, and now it returned to its calm state once more.

After doing this, Elder Wu took a profound look at the two people on the stone platform and then at the two images in the sky. Even he had to admit that these two juniors were excellent. He could not have done this when he was their age.

Now he was also curious about who would win. He noticed that both were desperate, and his body tensed up. He prepared his spirit force so he could intervene at any moment. After all, as the manager of the Alert Spirit Peak, he didn’t want to see any disciples die.

Boom!

A low rumble echoed in the sky. The leaves around the green lotus closed in on themselves, and it changed into a cocoon. The huge, silver moon formed by hundreds of rays of sword energy slashed down on the green lotus leaves.

A shrill sound echoed and the green lotus started to sway, but it remained stable. The silver moon emitted an amazing sense of sharpness from both sides. Everyone could see that the green lotus controlled by Zhou Hongyong was trembling more and more violently, like it couldn’t resist much longer.

Since it could exude such a dangerous aura, the Buddhist Green Lotus could naturally do more than this. Soon, the green lotus bloomed and opened up. As the green lotus opened, black smoke surrounded it.

Taking advantage of this situation, the silver moon broke through the gap between two lotus leaves, and the sharpness of the sword energy revealed itself. Even though the green lotus controlled a large amount of spirit force, it could not stop the silver moon. The silver moon was unforgiving and slaughtered its way to the center of the lotus.

A large amount of black of smoke gushed out. It was like the clouds Zhao Jiuge used to watch after he finished cultivating on the Mysterious Heaven Temple. The difference was that the clouds were white, while the smoke was black.

Boom!

A thunderous rumble echoed across the Alert Spirit Peak. Even with the light curtain, the trees around the platform were affected by the sword energy. All the three branches were bent toward one direction and only returned to normal after the collision was over.

The stone platform was no longer visible and was shrouded in black smoke and silver light. The two colors combined with each other.

The inside was abnormally quiet, like the victor had been decided. The onlookers were shocked. They hadn’t expected the two of them to cause such a big commotion.

The disciples that had looked down upon Zhao Jiuge all shut up. No matter how silly they were, they recognized Zhao Jiuge’s strength. Although he had just reached the Spirit Core Realm, he was not weak. In fact, he was much stronger than most of them.

The crowd was completely silent and focused on the stone platform. They were afraid to blink and miss an exciting moment.

A moment later, the silver light dimmed and the black smoke slowly dissipated. The stone platform became visible once more.

Zhou Hongyong had a gloomy expression, his head was slightly lowered, and his gaze was cold. It was uncertain if he was looking at Zhao Jiuge or the middle of the stone platform. There was a layer of dark-yellow light around his body. This was the last layer of protection of the golden bell.

On the other side, Zhao Jiuge’s left foot had stepped forward and his body was slightly bent. His right hand held the Big-Dipper Sword, and the sword was pointed downward.

His eyes were sharp and he was expressionless. He looked at the middle, where the smoke had dissipated. However, due to the depletion of his spirit force, his aura was somewhat weak and his Sanskrit Divine Body had disappeared. There was no trace of any spirit force fluctuations.

Everyone couldn’t help but think that the two of them were evenly matched after that fight. However, Zhou Hongyong looked like he still had some energy left to fight, while Zhao Jiuge’s spirit force seemed to have withered. Could it be that Zhao Jiuge was going to lose?”

Everyone sighed. This battle had been an eye-opener, but it was going to end with Zhao Jiuge’s defeat.

Just when thoughts like this appeared in their minds, the sounds of nearly 100 rays of sword energy echoed.

Everyone was shocked and looked toward the source of the sound—above Zhao Jiuge’s head! They remember that Zhao Jiuge had used two moves from that spell!

Now they understood why Zhou Hongyong’s expression was so gloomy. He wasn't looking at Zhao Jiuge or the middle of the stone platform.

He was looking at the nearly 100 rays of sword energy that were like a river of stars!
