Chapter 123 Dragon's Roar of Unparalleled Power
The moment Li Jingyun gripped the hilt of the Dragon's Roar sword, time seemed to freeze for a split second.
"Zzzzt!"
A bright, melodious, and continuous dragon roar resounded throughout the palace! It carried a powerful and vast sword intent, its sharpness fully revealed!
The Dragon Roar Sword was not yet fully drawn; the mere glint of cold light revealed by the friction between the blade and the scabbard caused the surrounding air to hum.
The pervasive aura of resentment and hatred seemed to have encountered its nemesis, and it actually retreated on its own initiative!
The sword's blade was fully revealed, its dark blue color carrying a mysterious luster, like a divine dragon lurking in the shadows.
The hilt is shaped like a dragon's head, and the blade is covered with fine patterns that resemble dragon scales, radiating a majestic dragon's might!
One of the Ten Great Spiritual Treasures of the Nine Provinces, the Dragon Roar Sword, once again displays its unparalleled sharpness within this Heavenly Palace!
The four guardians' expressions changed, especially Li Tiansheng, who had just suffered a loss under Lie Xiushan's fist. Now, feeling the power of this sword, he was even more terrified.
Without needing to communicate, the four people's energy instantly connected, like four mountains, firmly locking Li Jingyun in the center.
"Kill!" Li Tiansheng was the first to lose his temper. Black flames shot up from his body, transforming into a ferocious, roaring black flame dragon that coiled around the giant sword and slashed at Li Jingyun first!
This sword strike unleashed a torrent of demonic flames, scorching and distorting the very air.
A dark green dragon shape flashed in Li Jingyun's eyes. The Dragon Roar Sword emitted a soft sound and moved with him, transforming into a streak of azure light. Without dodging or avoiding, it went straight to meet the attack!
"Jingle bells!"
The sound of swords clashing was like needles hitting wheat awns, and the clang of the swords instantly resounded throughout the hall!
The cyan sword light clashed violently with the black and red demonic flames, and the scattered sword energy and demonic fire cut and scorched the surrounding ground and palace pillars, leaving them in a mess.
Li Tiansheng possessed immense power and overwhelming demonic flames.
Li Jingyun's swordsmanship was exquisite and swift as lightning.
For a time, the two were evenly matched, with neither able to gain the upper hand.
Just as the two were locked in fierce combat, the Xuan Gu Guardian's figure disappeared into the shadows like a ghost.
The next instant, Xuan Gu appeared on Li Jingyun's side, his ten dark gold bone claws tearing through the air, bringing with them ten terrifying fluctuations—Xuanming Bone-Penetrating Claw!
The claw-like wind seemed to swallow even the light as it silently clawed at Li Jingyun's ribs.
As if he had eyes in the back of his head, Li Jingyun parried Li Tiansheng's heavy slash with his Dragon Roar Sword, while simultaneously forming a sword incantation with his left hand. A condensed Tai Chi vortex instantly appeared beside him, with Yin and Yang energies circulating to deflect the vicious claw attack.
"Hiss hiss hiss!"
The Tai Chi vortex rubbed violently against the Xuanming Claw Force, producing a piercing sound.
Although he blocked most of the force, a trace of chilling and piercing Xuanming evil energy still penetrated his defenses, causing Li Jingyun to pause slightly.
In that brief moment of hesitation, the distant ghostly guardian seized the opportunity, frantically waving the soul-summoning banner and chanting incantations!
The evil energy of Lihen within the Litian Palace gathered wildly, and countless twisted and wailing vengeful spirits emerged from the void, condensing into a visible gray soul tide—the Ten Thousand Ghosts Devouring Soul Technique!
This surge of souls was not a physical attack, but rather an attack on the soul.
Wherever the soul tide passed, everyone felt their souls about to leave their bodies!
Despite the combined attack of magic and spiritual power, Li Jingyun remained calm.
A bright, clear light shone around him, and an invisible barrier of sword intent expanded, temporarily blocking the soul tide. However, the stinging pain and illusions emanating from his soul still disturbed his mind.
Seeing this, Li Tiansheng and Xuan Gu intensified their attacks! The Black Flame Demon Dragon roared repeatedly, and the Xuanming Bone Claw appeared and disappeared unpredictably. Combined with the Ghostly Guardian's all-pervasive soul attacks, they gradually forced Li Jingyun into a defensive position.
Although Li Jingyun's sword light was still dazzling, its range was constantly being compressed.
Meanwhile, the Purple Glass Protector stood quietly to the side, her beautiful eyes fixed on the battle. A purple aura swirled around her, and her hands formed complex and profound hand seals. A heart-pounding wave was brewing at her fingertips.
She was waiting, waiting for the moment when Li Jingyun would reveal a real weakness.
The battle seemed to have reached a stalemate, but Li Jingyun fought against three opponents single-handedly. Under the combined fierce attack of the three guardians, he defended flawlessly. His exquisite swordsmanship and profound spiritual power made the onlookers tremble with fear.
Meanwhile, the other disciples and elders of the Heavenly Palace also engaged in battle with the other members of the Dao Academy.
"I'll show you the power of the Dao Academy's true techniques!" A glint flashed in Li Jingyun's eyes, and a profound Daoist aura emanated from him, drawing upon the supreme power of heaven and earth!
The Dragon Roar Sword let out a long, stirring cry, its tip pointing towards the sky!
"The Purple Heavenly Tribulation, summoned by a single sword!"
With a clear shout, the entire interior of the Heavenly Palace seemed to connect with the Thunder Pool of the Nine Heavens!
An endless aura of destruction descended, and purple lightning bolts darted wildly across the dome!
"BOOM!!!"
A bolt of lightning, as thick as a bucket and extremely purple in color, struck straight down from the sky, landing on the Dragon Roar Sword, and then bursting out from the tip of the Dragon Roar Sword!
This divine thunder carried the supreme majesty of judging all things, as if it were acting on behalf of Heaven to punish! Wherever the lightning passed, the air froze, and all laws retreated!
The black flame demon dragon unleashed by Li Tiansheng was the first to be hit. Before the Purple Heaven Divine Lightning, the demonic flames that could burn everything were as fragile as paper and were instantly annihilated!
The lightning bolt, still powerful, slammed down on Li Tiansheng's giant sword!
"puff!"
Li Tiansheng trembled violently, his protective demonic energy instantly dissipated, and he flew backward like a kite with a broken string, crashing heavily against the palace wall, spitting out blood, with arcs of electricity crackling around his body.
His eyes were filled with horror: "This...this is the Purple Heaven Divine Lightning, one of the Nine Absolute Techniques of the Dao Academy?! He can actually summon such pure heavenly punishment power?!"
The power of a single move is astounding!
The Xuan Gu Guardian and the You Hun Guardian were also taken aback by this sudden power of heaven and earth, and their offensive involuntarily slowed down.
Li Jingyun pressed his advantage relentlessly, changing his sword stance once more. The Dragon Roar Sword traced a mysterious trajectory, as if it had stirred the stars in the heavens.
"Star Sword Guide!"
With a single swing of the sword, there was no dazzling sword light, but the gravity of the entire hall seemed to change instantly!
Countless tiny, dust-like starlight appeared out of thin air, forming a vast stellar gravitational field!
Xuan Gu felt as if he were stuck in a quagmire, every movement required tremendous effort, his ghostly speed was forcibly broken, and his figure was exposed in the sword-guided domain, making it difficult to move!
At the same time, facing the still surging tide of souls, Li Jingyun opened his mouth and softly uttered:
"Ah!"
A simple, ancient syllable, yet it contains the supreme power to establish order in the universe!
The sound waves transformed into visible pale golden ripples that spread outwards, and the wailing tide of souls, like ice and snow thrown into a raging fire, emitted a shrill cry and quickly melted away!
The ghost let out a muffled groan, and the ghostly light on the summoning banner trembled wildly, clearly indicating that its soul had suffered a significant impact.
In the blink of an eye, Li Jingyun unleashed a series of unexpected moves, breaking through the combined attack of the three guardians, forcing one back, imprisoning another, and lightly injuring yet another! The sheer power of his methods and the profound mystery of his techniques shocked the entire audience!
