Chapter 593: What Good Would That Do!? (II)
Bam!
Li Guanlong kept slamming himself onto this barrier of azure light that was barely visible in the air.
With how the azure light flickered and shook, the Ring of Confinement clearly would not be able to trap Li Guanlong for long.
But even if it was only fifteen minutes, it was more than enough.
The actual Yang Shenlong had transformed himself. His head had become a dragon head.
As he opened his mouth wide, it revealed fangs of a dragon that were as sharp as swords and halberds.
Then, he released an earth-shaking roar!
"ROARRRRRRRRRRRRRRR"
A deep, resonant dragon chant suddenly erupted from the depths of his throat.
The sound was like a thunderous vibration, carrying with it a power that seemed to clear the mind.
Technically, this was not an attack. This sound was meant to dispel evil influences and purify the mind.
But as soon as Li Guanlong heard this sound, he started struggling and became visibly distressed. The golden light that enveloped his body started flickering erratically.
"In the end, he found the flaw with the Curse Insect of Dreams," Immortal Jiuyi said with a sigh, a trace of regret in his voice.
"The Curse Insect of Dreams resides within the host's dream. Therefore, there's no way an opponent can win by attacking the host's physical body. The only way to end this is by targeting the dream and ending the dream," Old Li Ba murmured as he speculated. "Am I right?"
"Esteemed Senior, you are indeed correct," Immortal Jiuyi confirmed.
This Awakening Dragon Chant was like the Great Buddhist Thunderclap, capable of awakening the mind and shattering any illusory dreams.
Since the Curse Insect of Dreams had implanted itself within the dream world, it would lose its foothold the moment the host awakened. The power of the Curse Insect would then dissipate, forcing Li Guanlong to regain control of his body.
As long as Li Guanlong remained asleep, he would continue to be invincible in the fight. But if he were to wake up, he would then lose that godly power.
It was no surprise that Old Li Ba, with his vast experience and countless battles, quickly figured out the answer.
However, it was truly remarkable for Yang Shenlong to show such maturity at his young age.
Ultimately, there was still a gap in cultivation between Yang Shenlong and Li Guanlong. Had it been anyone else, they would have been defeated by the first round of attacks. Even if they knew how to counter, they wouldn't have survived long enough to awaken Li Guanlong.
"Ugh..." Li Guanlong slowly opened his eyes, struggling to do so. His gaze was still cloudy and dazed, as if he had just awakened from a deep dream.
At this moment, a massive dragon claw descended upon him.
Boom!
It was that one strike.
Li Guanlong was sent flying, and the winner of this match was decided.
"Hah." Yang Shenlong exhaled, wasting no time to readjust his breathing and rest as he rushed to the next corridor.
...
While Yang Shenlong and Li Guanlong were still locked in battle, the duel between the twin pillars of the Mount Shu Sect had already ended and the winner had been decided. ꭆ
As Xu Ziyang faced Jiang Yuebai, he shouted and focused all his vitality, qi, and spirit into this one strike.
As his longsword pierced the air, the light of the sword took on the form of a dragon. It was a simple and straightforward thrust!
This was a strike that contained the Cloud of Determination Great Dao, which was one of the most popular Great Daos of Sword on the Mount Shu Sect.
Yang Shenlong immediately understood Chu Liang's strategy.
If they engaged in a long-range fight of divine techniques, the difference in cultivation levels would likely lead to Chu Liang's defeat without him landing a single blow.
But in close combat, even if Chu Liang lost, he could still inflict injuries and deplete Yang Shenlong's energy, potentially improving Jiang Yuebai's chances in the next round.
Yang Shenlong took half a step back, seemingly remaining in place. But as Chu Liang slashed with his sword, the figure in front of him turned out to be nothing more than an apparition. The real Yang Shenlong had already retreated several zhang away.
As Chu Liang's first attack missed, Yang Shenlong made his assessment, noting that Chu Liang's cultivation level was at the third stage of the fifth realm. His cultivation power would not be as crazy as it had been last time.
With this, he felt reassured.
In this case, he no longer needed to retreat and could focus on ending the fight as soon as possible.
But just as he made that decision, Chu Liang's next attack came. It was the Heaven-Raising Sword!
As Chu Liang wielded his Dustless Sword, he didn't use his strongest move, the Sword Strike of Severing Void. Instead, he used the Immortal Art: Heaven-Raising Sword, bringing it down on Yang Shenlong with overwhelming sword qi.
Yang Shenlong raised his palm, pulling in both the Dustless Sword and its sword qi into his palm using the technique, A World in One's Palm.
There they became like fishes swimming on his palm.
Without a pill to boost his cultivation, the difference in their cultivation levels was clearly immense.
But in the next instant, Chu Liang was already upon him.
It turned out that the use of the Heaven-Raising Sword was merely a distraction. Using Dimension Compression, Chu Liang closed the gap and suddenly activated his Three-Headed and Six-Armed Form. All six arms shot forward, locking Yang Shenlong in a firm embrace.
"Huh?"
Spectators who had attended the Mount Shu Summit immediately recognized the scene.
Back then, Chu Liang had done the same thing to Jiang Yuebai.
So he doesn't just hug girls? He's fine with hugging guys too? Hey, this is a fight—what are you doing?
Yang Shenlong, however, immediately sensed the danger and prepared to use a divine ability to shake Chu Liang off.
Crack!
The effect of the Forbidden Ground was activated.
When Chu Liang crushed the jade talisman in the illusory realm, Yang Shenlong had witnessed it with his own eyes. Now, a deep sense of foreboding arose within him.
It was just as Yang Shenlong had expected.
However, as Yang Shenlong's cultivation level was much higher than Chu Liang's, this single jade talisman could not restrict Yang Shenlong for long. The effect of the Forbidden Ground on him was greatly diminished, and within the span of a single breath, its influence began to fade.
But Chu Liang had plenty of jade talismans to spare.
A series of crisp "pop, pop, pop" sounds echoed, reminiscent of firecrackers during New Year celebrations.
As the effects of the Forbidden Ground accumulated and settled upon Yang Shenlong, he was once again trapped for another two breaths.
Meanwhile, behind them, a figure retrieved the Dustless Sword that had fallen to the ground. He gripped it firmly and concentrated deeply, focusing his sword intent.
It was a clone that had been created through the Immortal Art: External Manifestation!
