Chapter 139: Victory and Defeat

"Hey, the Nine Spirits Immortal Sect is so powerful in the world that most people think like you that our Nine Spirits Immortal Sect disciples are all Dharma cultivators who can only attack from afar, but they don't know that there are always exceptions to everything, and I am one of the countless exceptions. ”

Ling Junzi looked at Qiao Xiu's reaction and knew the other party's general thoughts.

He chuckled and began to explain.

"I was born into a family of monks with a melee heritage. Before I entered the Nine Spirit Immortal Sect, I had a dream since I was a child, which was to become a powerful melee monk. It's just that for some reason, I lost my qualification to be a melee monk.

In order to prevent me from being decadent and sinking, my father asked his friend of the Nine Spirit Immortal Sect, who is now my master, to take me into his disciple. Shizun was very good to me, not only carefully taught me the various inheritance techniques of the Nine Spirit Immortal Sect, but also took great pains to find a spirit treasure for me that could make up for the regrets in my heart to a certain extent, that is, the Spirit Slashing Sword in my hand.

It's not actually a flying sword, it's a warrior's sword. Its previous owner was a melee monk who excelled with a sword. Before his death, he incorporated his life's combat techniques and experience into the Spirit Slashing Sword in a spiritual way for those who came after him to inherit.

And as the current owner of the Spirit Slaying Sword, I am naturally able to use the combat techniques in the Spirit Slaying Sword. So I'm actually a melee monk with the Spirit Slaying Sword in my hand!"

Buzzing!

Perhaps it was because he heard Ling Junzi's words, and the aura of the huge Spirit Slashing Sword shone more and more.

Under the backdrop of the aura, Ling Junzi, who was wearing a huge aura armor, really looked like a majestic melee monk, completely different from the monk who had carried out the Nine Spirits Law Domain and made various Nine Spirit spells before.

"Haha, I see, that's what I want! Real men should be in close combat to be interesting!"

After listening to Ling Junzi's explanation, Qiao Xiu felt more and more happy when he saw him holding the sword in both hands.

For him, fighting a melee monk is much more interesting than fighting a long-range monk.

As he said, real men should play melee combat, fists to the flesh, and make people's blood boil.

Although this is a bit biased, it is Qiao Xiu's true thoughts.

Putting aside the set of moral norms as the bottom line of principles, "muscle is justice, strength is justice" is Qiao Xiu's inner creed, and it is also the transcendent cultivation path that he tirelessly pursues.

Therefore, every time he met a melee monk similar to himself, Qiao Xiu would be very excited and high-spirited.

"Come, let's fight three hundred rounds!"

Bang!

As he spoke, Qiao Xiu couldn't help but take the lead in attacking Ling Junzi.

I saw him kick under his feet suddenly, step out, and he had already crossed a distance of several meters, and came to Lingjunzi in front of him in an instant.

"Eight Desolations!"

Qiao Xiu let out a low snort, and with the power of the impact, he punched towards Ling Junzi's chest.

Rumble!

The huge fist burst through the air, crushing it head-on with a momentum that suppressed everything.

"Slash the soul and open the mountain!"

In the face of Qiao Xiu's fierce punch, Ling Junzi on the opposite side did not show weakness, only to see him take a step back, and at the same time hold the sword high above his head with both hands, and slash down towards Qiao Xiu's fist.

Call!

The Spirit Slashing Sword like a small door panel tore through the air, with the momentum of opening mountains and splitting the ground, as if it was going to tear Qiao Xiu's fist and the Eight Desolation Fist intent that suppressed everything.

Facing the giant sword that fell on his head, Qiao Xiu made a slight move, and his fist changed from a flat push to an upward slanting top.

While!

In the next moment, Qiao Xiu's fist had already collided with Ling Junzi's sword blade in the air, making a sound of metal colliding.

Hula!

Immediately afterward, the powerful impact generated by the collision centered on the intersection of fists and swords, stirring up the surrounding air, forming a violent wind that swept through the entire underground secret room!

Bang Bang Bang!

Almost at the same time, the force of the shock was transmitted along Qiao Xiu's fist and Ling Junzi's spirit sword through his arms and bodies to the feet of the two of them, blasting the extremely hard underground secret room floor.

The first encounter was obviously a close match, and it also officially kicked off the final battle between the two.

Call!

After a moment of confrontation, the first to change his tactics was Ling Junzi.

I saw him suddenly withdraw the Spirit Slashing Sword, and then slashed at Qiao Xiu's upper body at an oblique angle at a faster speed.

Stompe!

This time, Qiao Xiu did not choose to hit hard, but dodged Ling Junzi's slash with a sideways footwork, and then took a step forward and bullied up, bending his five fingers into claws to grab Ling Junzi's abdomen.

Shout!

In the face of Qiao Xiu's blow, Ling Junzi's reaction was even more desperate.

I saw that the light of the Nine Spirit Battle Armor on his body flickered, and it had already brought his whole person behind Qiao Xiu as if displacement.

Ling Junzi, who came behind Qiao Xiu, raised the spirit sword and stabbed it towards the position of Qiao Xiu's back spine.

Bang!

Although Qiao Xiu was a little caught off guard by Ling Junzi's almost displacement move, with his keen perception and rich combat experience, he almost instinctively turned around and smashed it with a punch, which just hit the tip of Ling Junzi's sword!

Whew!

Bang Bang Bang!

As before, this collision once again set off a gust of wind, and at the same time shook the floor under the feet of the two of them to pieces.

Ding Ding Ding!

Bang bang bang!

Whew!

......

The two who had switched positions glanced at each other during the confrontation. The battle intent in the eyes of both sides burst out, colliding with infinite sparks in the void halfway.

At the same time, they seemed to have a heart and a soul, and they chose to face it head-on very tacitly.

This time there was no dodge or movement, only a solid clash of fists and greatswords.

For a moment, within a radius of several meters where the two of them were, they were completely covered by countless fist shadows and sword shadows.

The sound of the two men colliding was like metal colliding, the sound of the air tearing and the wind howling, and the sound of the nearby floor being trampled on was endless.

"It's so strong!"

Yang Ye and the others, who were watching this battle at the corner of the underground secret room, had only one common thought in their hearts at this moment.

Whether it was Qiao Xiu, who had become a three-meter giant, or Ling Junzi, who was wearing nine-colored spiritual light armor and holding a three-meter-long spirit slashing giant sword, both of them were more powerful than they could have imagined.

In their opinion, the two of them at this moment were like two giant beasts, fighting fiercely, tearing everything around them, including the air on the ground, to shreds.

Originally, the battle between Qiao Xiu and Liang Hao had shocked them before, but they didn't expect that less than a day had passed, and they saw a more violent hand-to-hand combat battle.

At this time, the combat power of the two of them was close to the peak of the transcendent second-order, if the underground secret room was not made of hard special materials, the theoretical limit of bearing reached the transcendent third-order, and now they may have been shattered and collapsed by the battle between the two.

"I really didn't expect that in a short period of time, Qiao Xiu's strength has reached such a point, and he is about to catch up with his father, right?"

Yang Ye looked at Qiao Xiu's performance, and his heart was surprised and delighted.

Originally, Yang Zhen, as a half-step transcendent third-order master, was even stronger than the current Qiao Xiuling Junzi, but Yang Ye had never seen Yang Zhen go all out at that time, so he didn't have a clear impression of Yang Zhen's strength.

It's just that by feeling, he thinks that the current Qiao Xiu's strength is no worse than his father.

"If my father is here, I will definitely be very relieved to see Qiao Xiu's performance, alas......"

Thinking of his father Yang Zhen, Yang Ye couldn't help but feel down.

Although he has not yet received definite information from the authorities, with what he has known before, as well as his own intuition, he vaguely feels that his father may have really suffered an accident.

"Alas, no matter what, with Qiao Xiu here, the Eight Desolations Gate can be regarded as a successor...... To win, Qiao Xiu!"

Fortunately, Yang Ye was a mature and calm person, he tried his best to dispel the bad emotions about his father in his mind, and then returned his attention to Qiao Xiu, who was fighting fiercely with Ling Junzi, and secretly cheered up.

Boom Boom!

Over there, Qiao Xiu didn't disappoint Yang Ye either, as if he really heard him cheering for himself in his heart, he once again gained the upper hand and began to slowly suppress Ling Junzi.

Bang bang bang!

Bang bang!

I saw that Qiao Xiu and Ling Junzi had changed positions again after a hard encounter just now.

Qiao Xiu turned his back to Yang Ye and them, and his fists were frantically outputting like a torrential rain, pressing Ling Junzi to keep retreating.

Obviously, compared to Qiao Xiu's strong Ten Thousand Beasts Immortal Body, the Nine Spirit Battle Armor condensed by Ling Junzi with the spiritual power in his body has gradually become exhausted as his spiritual power and physical strength continue to be consumed, and it is no longer as thick and stable as just now.

Even the aftermath of the collision of the two fists and feet, impacting on it, can cause a ripple.

If it weren't for the Spirit Slashing Sword, as a third-order spirit treasure, it would still be able to provide enough support for Ling Junzi, and in the bare-handed collision with Qiao Xiu, the hardness and sharpness would have a certain advantage, and Ling Junzi would have been defeated.

But it seems that Lingjunzi probably won't be able to support it for long.

Because the strength of the Spirit Slashing Sword also has advantages and disadvantages for Ling Junzi. On the one hand, it provides a strong attack power for Lingjunzi, and on the other hand, the disadvantage is that the power of the Spirit Slashing Sword requires the aura in Lingjunzi's body to maintain, which is a great consumption for Lingjunzi.

In other words, if Ling Junzi loses in the end, it is not that his combat effectiveness is inferior to Qiao Xiu, but that he loses in persistence.

This is also related to his lack of cultivation and his lack of ability to fully master the Spirit Slashing Sword.

If he fully mastered the Spirit Slashing Sword now, the consumption would be much smaller when using it, and in this way, he would be able to support it for a longer time.

And after mastering it completely, it can further exert the greater power of the Spirit Slashing Sword.

It's a pity that there is no if in the world, when Ling Junzi is not enough in cultivation and fails to fully master the Spirit Slashing Sword, when he encounters an opponent like Qiao Xiu who has both offense and defense, thick skin and thick blood and super physical strength, he is doomed to defeat.

......

"The strength of these two people is really unexpected!"

In addition, Yang Ye, Wang Dong, He Youcai, Ye San and others on the side of the wall were still in the Demon Devouring Black Sky outside the passage, and naturally they also saw the battle between Qiao Xiu and Ling Junzi after their transformation through the demon soul clone.

The combat effectiveness shown by Qiao Xiu and Ling Junzi in the end made him secretly frightened, and at the same time a little lucky.

Sure enough, no matter what era it is, geniuses are indispensable, and everyone who can be named a genius is not so simple to exist. Fortunately, I was cautious enough not to break in directly, otherwise I might have been planted in the hands of these two people. ”

Through observation and evaluation, Hei Tian found that with his current strength, the two people who fought fiercely in it were at most between the two of them.

If the two people inside were not injured and were in good condition, he felt that he could only deal with one at most, and he would have to pay a considerable price to win.

If the two of them join forces to beat one of him, the best outcome may be that he is beaten and flees.

"However, it seems that the two will soon be decided. With their current state, they will inevitably lose both sides after the fight, and when the time comes, hehe......"

Seeing that Qiao Xiu had the upper hand to suppress Ling Junzi, but he also had a lot of injuries, Hei Tian could already roughly predict the next result.

Then he couldn't help but be very happy at the thought that he would be able to turn two such powerful geniuses into his own food nutrients right away.

Bang bang bang!

"Damn!"

Inside, Ling Junzi, who had been forced to Qiao Xiu's wall, finally couldn't help but erupt.

He shouted, trying his best to make the strongest move.

Rumble!

I saw that as his angry shout sounded, the light of the Nine Spirit Battle Armor on his body bloomed, forcing Qiao Xiu to take a few steps back.

After forcing Qiao Xiu back, the divergent spiritual light quickly retracted, and began to surge towards the Spirit Slashing Sword held high in both hands, after the Spirit Slaying Sword was replenished by this powerful spiritual power, it became larger and longer again, and soon changed from three meters to six meters, and it was not far from the top of the underground secret room.

After the spiritual power continued to pour into the Spirit Slashing Sword, the Nine Spirit Battle Armor on Ling Junzi's body, which was originally three meters high, instantly shrank, and finally turned into a close-fitting armor similar to Ling Junzi's own stature.

Ling Junzi, who was less than two meters long, was holding a six-meter-long Spirit Slashing Sword, which looked a little weird, but his momentum did not decrease at all, and even became stronger and stronger, with a tendency to break the limit of the transcendent second order.

"Qiao Xiu, this is my last move, and it is also my strongest blow, if you can take it, then you win. ”

Seeing that the momentum was about to reach its peak, Ling Junzi said to Qiao Xiu, who was also accumulating strength not far away.

"Okay, it's time for this battle to end, let's decide the winner with one move!"

Qiao Xiu had already understood Ling Junzi's thoughts when he was forced to retreat just now, and this idea was exactly what he wanted.

To be honest, although Qiao Xiu was much better than Ling Junzi in terms of physical strength, in the fierce battle just now, he also suffered a lot of losses against the Spirit Slashing Sword with his bare hands.

No matter how strong his body is now, he is still flesh and blood, and he can't compare to the tenacity of the transcendent third-order spirit treasure's spirit slashing sword. So in the confrontation just now, he had a lot more external injuries than Ling Junzi.

Especially his fists and arms, crisscrossed with scars of different shades, there were more than ten or twenty scars.

If it weren't for the thick flesh and skin, coupled with the endless fighting spirit in his body, his hands would probably have been scrapped.

So instead of dragging it out and constantly aggravating your injuries, it's better to use your strongest blow and decide the winner with one move, as you do now.

Rumble!

Qiao Xiu, who was also accumulating strength, had the fighting qi in his body running to the limit, his blood and qi surging, and with the special energy network of the Ten Thousand Beasts Immortal Body, his body was slightly higher and expanded again.

Along with his body swelled was the momentum of his body.

The dark red fighting spirit came out of his body, the red light flickered, and the Eight Desolation Fist intent condensed behind him, as if turning into a mountain, a piece of earth, and a world prototype phantom, becoming his most solid backing.

"Slash the Soul and Split the Sky!"

"Eight desolations and annihilation!"

Moments later, the two reached their peak momentum and landed their strongest blows at each other at the same time.

Among them, Ling Junzi clenched the six-meter-long Spirit Slashing Sword with both hands, took a small step forward in the posture of raising the flames and burned the sky, and smashed down on Qiao Xiu's head just a few meters away!

Call!

The spirit slashing sword that was overflowing with light all over the body tore through the air, and with an unstoppable momentum of opening the sky, it had already fallen in front of Qiao Xiu's head in an instant.

It can be seen that because the force is too strong and the speed is too fast, the air along the way is directly split into two halves and discharged to the sides, forming a clear air flow.

Such a scene fell on the side of Yang Ye and their eyes, and there was really a kind of sky-splitting power.

Rumble!

On the other side, Qiao Xiu faced such a powerful attack, his face did not change, and the fist that he had condensed with the strength of his whole body, Dou Qi and fist intent, had already broken through the air and met the huge sword blade.

While!!

At the moment when the two of them collided with their fists and blades, a deafening loud bang resounded throughout the basement like thunder.

Bang!

As the air was turbulent, the floor within a radius of several meters beneath the two of them collapsed.

Bang Bang Bang!

The strong wind from the impact swept through the entire underground chamber, blowing against the surrounding walls, making a noticeable slapping sound.

Yang Ye and the others were blown subconsciously with their faces sideways, their eyes closed, and they took half a step back.

"Who won?"

When they reacted, they turned their heads again and opened their eyes to look at the position where Qiao Xiuling Junzi was fighting, and they could only see a puff of smoke and dust.

Call!

It was only when the wind that reverberated from all around them blew away the smoke and dust again that they could see the results clearly.

"Ahem, you won, Qiao Xiu!"

I saw that in the huge shallow pit formed by the collision just now, Ling Junzi, whose clothes were torn, fell to the ground, supported the ground with one hand, covered his mouth with the other, coughed a few times, and obvious blood flowed out between his fingers.

The huge Spirit Slashing Sword, which was just six meters long, had disappeared, and it seemed that it was unsustainable, and it was withdrawn from the body by Ling Junzi.

Coughing up a few mouthfuls of blood and taking a breath, Ling Junzi said with difficulty to Qiao Xiu, who was kneeling on one knee not far away.

He threw in the towel.

Looking at Qiao Xiu again, he doesn't look much better than Ling Junzi.

At this time, he was no longer able to maintain the transformation of the immortal body of ten thousand beasts, and he turned back to an ordinary body of more than one meter and nine, with almost no wisps on his body.

There were a lot of scars on the bronzed skin, and it was bloody, especially the hand that had just punched, and there was a huge scar on the fist that was deep enough to see the bone, almost splitting the fist in half from the middle.

"Admit it, Reijunzi!"

Although he looked worse than Ling Junzi on the outside, Qiao Xiu knew that he still had strength left, and compared to Ling Junzi, who was no longer able to stand up, he knew that he had indeed won this battle.

So for Ling Junzi's admission of defeat, he generously accepted it.

However, as the victor, Qiao Xiu was no longer as domineering as he was when he was in the battle state just now, but became humble again.
