Chapter 753 – Chess

Spacetime was wrong.

When these three words left his mouth, the world changed color.

All of a sudden, hundreds of horizontal lines of fire appeared in front of An Zheng. The distance between the two pieces of fire didn’t exceed twenty centimeters. Although the fire didn’t look fierce, it was still extremely fierce. From afar, it looked like a wall of fire, witeight of at least a hundred meters.

And behind An Zheng, hundreds of vertical lines of fire appeared. It was the same distance, same scorching heat. The bottom of the mountain reached the ground, while the top reached the sky. The horizontal line of fire in front of him and the vertical line of fire behind him moved at the same time, pressing towards An Zheng.

The horizontal line of fire looked better, at least the ends couldn’t be seen, so he didn’t know what was going on. But the bottom of the vertical line of fire was connected to the ground, and as they moved forward, hundreds of iron ploughs ploughed along liklow, and the earth churned.

One had to know that the Yuwen Clan’s courtyard was protected by an extremely powerful barrier. It was only capable of destroying the ground. One could imagine how terrifying the fire line was.

One cultivator, who was standing in the courtyard and watching with his head raised, reacted a little too slowly. He waited until the line of fire approached him before realizing this and immediately summoned his magic tool to block it.

With a few crunching sounds, the weapon of the peak red rank was sliced into pieces by the line of fire before it could last for even a second. However, it was precisely because the magic tool had persisted for less than a second that he was able to withdraw. If he had been any later, even his body would have been sliced into pieces.

And what An Zheng had to face was not just vertical lines of fire, but thousands of them moving about unhindered.

At the start, those threads of fire had moved forward in an orderly manner, but after Yuwen Wushuang snapped his fingers, those lines of fire suddenly became chaotic. A portion of the line of fire started to speed up as it charged towards An Zheng, almost in an instant.

A purple light flashed on An Zheng’s body, and the reverse scale appeared.

At the same time as the reverse scale appeared, ten meters away from his body, the light purple protective layer of the reverse scale also appeared. This was the power of the reverse scale, and was able to set up a strong protective barrier around An Zheng ten meters away.

Sounds of crackling could be heard. When the fire threads hit the protective layer, they left behind scorched black marks. The protective layer lasted for a minute before it was cut apart by the dense fire threads and fell to the ground like ice.

“This is …” What cultivation technique is this?! ”

Yu Wenhe looked up into the sky and could not believe his eyes, “How is this possible? The Yuwen Clan does not have such a cultivation technique. Even if they do, how could one person split the Cultivation Power into thousands of pieces?

Yuwen Zhen sighed, “This niece of mine is truly a proud daughter of heaven.”

Even Chen Zhongqi could not help but exclaim in admiration. With Yuwen Wushuang’s age, for him to have sucerrifying cultivation, the Da Xi family would not even be able to find an opponent for him in the young generation. Chen Zhongqi knew that the young people of the imperial family were all amazing, but those people were definitely not his match. This young girl had an unparalleled heavenly might, as if she was born to be a high and mighty person.

This made Chen Zhongqi involuntarily think of Xu Meidai, the Palace Master Tian Haogong that he had fallen in love with in the past.

Compared to Xu Meidai, Yuwen Wushuang only lacked a mature temperament. Chen Zhongqi couldn’t help but think in his heart that it wouldn’t be for long. As long as Yuwen Wushuang had ten more years, he would definitely become one of the few people standing at the top of the cultivation world. Just like Xu Meidai, she was so noble and cold, like a fairy that was not tainted by dust.

“No wonder someone said that after Xu Meidai, she is the number one beauty in the martial arts world. Merely, this sort of beauty does not only refer to one’s appearance. Rather, it refers to one’s extraordinary cultivation and astonishing talent. ”

“I’m afraid that young man will never have another chance to win this time.”

Inside the barrier, the shock and astonishment of the ordinary citizens were even greater. Someone pointed at the dense fire threads in the sky and shouted in excitement, “My god, are they going to cut the sky open?”

“That’s too scary. If it wasn’t for the Spirit Formation protecting us, we would have already been sliced into pieces by the line of fire.”

An Zheng was currently under an enormous pressure. It was the true flame of the phoenix, and it seemed to be able to burn everything. An Zheng continuously attacked, every strike forcing back a nearby line of fire. Although there were many dense lines of fire, An Zheng’s attacks were very quick and precise. No matter how many lines of fire there were, none of them were able to harm him.

Seeing An Zheng’s impenetrable defense, the corner of Yuwen Wushuang’s mouth rose slightly: “I would really like to see how much longer you can last.”

She sat down cross-legged in midair and the fire phoenix rose up to catch her. The graceful white-clothed girl sat cross-legged on the back of the phoenix. Her hands reached out, as if caressing the zither of a phoenix. Her fingers were white and slender and agile. An extremely melodious zither sound appeared in the sky, as if it was flowing water, or the wind blowing past a bamboo forest.

The song was extremely beautiful, but the beauty was accompanied by a boundless killing intent.

With the sound of her fingers strumming the zither, the line of fire in the air turned into a zither string. Her fingers flicked on a string, and a line of fire was pulled upwards before quickly popping towards An Zheng. The string of the zither, that was touched by her fingers, was at least twice as powerful and fast as before!

At first, the tune was a little slow, but later, when Yuwen Wushuang’s ten fingers started playing the tune continuously, it became likorrential downpour. The spirited voice from before had been replaced by a murderous aura. The originally light tune had now turned into the sounds of fighting in the Gold Spear Ironhorse Battlefield.

Clang! Clang! Clang!

The string of the zither was pulled up, and flicked towards An Zheng one by one. Even if An Zheng’s reaction was even quicker, it still seemed to be difficult to deal with. The strings of the zither shot out with the sound of wind. They were so powerful that even a mountain peak could be neatly cut in half.

Gradually, An Zheng’s figure could no longer be seen in the air. Even Yu Wenhe, who was also at the peak of the Higher Completion Stage and was just one step away from entering the Lower Celestial Stage, could no longer see his movements clearly.

“So fast!”

Yuwen Zhi narrowed his eyes and looked at An Zheng: “This youth’s speed has already reached the level of Lower Celestial Stage. Although the Cultivation Power is still lacking, his speed is not any slower.”

Chen Zhongqi said indifferently from the side: “More than that? Even a second stage Lower Celestial Stage cultivator would not be as fast as him. ”

At the moment, An Zheng’s current defense was entirely reliant on his exceptional reaction and speed. As the strings of the zither shot out, An Zheng repelled them one by one. In the air, the only thing that could be seen was the line of fire and the shadow of a person.

Yuwen Wushuang’s eyes grew brighter and brighter. It was the kind of excitement of finally meeting an opponent.

At the top of Wild Fox Mountain, Yuwen Liuge stood with his hands behind his back. He stood in front of the window of the Profound Sky Pavilion and watched the showdown between the two most outstanding young men in the world with infatuation.

“Ancestor, is Wushuang going to win?”

Yu Wending asked worriedly, although his strength had already reached Lower Celestial Stage, even he could not tell who would win. Although it seemed like the black-robed youth had been put at a disadvantage, the situation was completely under Yuwen Wushuang’s control. However, he was like a small boat floating on a stormy river. No matter how big the storm or the waves were, he never overturned it.

“Wushuang is amazing.”

Yuwen Yuege praised, “It’s rare for her to meet an equally strong opponent. The more she fights, the more it rouses her competitive spirit. Moreover, she hasn’t even used her full strength, so she can be even stronger. If … If she was lucky, this battle might even allow her to break through that barrier. You should know that Wushuang has reached a bottleneck at the peak of the Higher Completion Stage, and has been unable to break through it. And this young man is her opportunity. ”

After Yu Wending heard this, he could not help but heave a sigh of relief: “That’s good, that means Wushuang will win for sure.”

“I didn’t say that.”

Yuwen Junge smiled cunningly: “Wushuang, that youth isn’t lacking at all.”

“But didn’t you say that Wushuang has found the breakthrough? If Wushuang were to break through to the Lower Celestial Stage, then no matter how gifted that youth is, he would never be able to win against Wushuang. ”

“You …” The things you see are far inferior to Yu Wende. ”

Yuwen Yuge said, “Did you not realize that the youth still hasn’t fought back? It’s not that he was suppressed to the point where he had no strength to fight back, but he borrowed Wushuang’s attack to test his strength? He had deliberately used his reaction speed and speed to meet this attack. He wanted to see where his limits were. This guy … Even more crazy than Wushuang! ”

After hearing this sentence, Yu Wending, who was originally at ease, tensed up once again.

“Could it be … Could it be that he really is stronger than Wu Shuang? ”

“It’s hard to say.”

Yuwen Yuge said, “These two children, their talent and cultivation are around the same. It’s hard to say who will win, but that doesn’t necessarily depend on strength and luck. ”

Yu Wending said worriedly: “What if Wushuang loses …”

“Nothing.”

Yuwen Fang looked at Yu Wending: “The two of them cannot have any accidents. If we fight to the point where both of them are injured, our Yuwen Clan will not be able to take it. With Wu Shuang’s talent, she could become one of the top few in the future, or even surpass them. The Yuwen Clan’s future lay with Wushuang. “Therefore, they are still under my control. Once they are out of my control, I must make my move.”

Yu Wending acknowledged, and unknowingly, he did not realize that his hands were actually covered with sweat. How long had it been since someone as famous and powerful as him got so nervous? Even not long ago, when that youth was fighting with his son Yuwen Wuji, he had not been this nervous.

“I can’t see anyone at all.”

Among the brothers, Yuwen Qi, who had the most mysterious cultivation, sighed angrily: “Are all the kids nowadays so abnormal? I was hunting and fishing all over the mountains when I was of peerless age. If I had met Wushuang at that age, I probably would not even be able to last five minutes before being killed. ”

“Too fast.”

Yu Wenhe didn’t believe his eyes. “How could that guy be so fast?”

And An Zheng, at this time, had also entered into that state of excitement, where he couldn’t help but want to fight. This feeling was incredibly wonderful. He didn’t even need to think about how to attack; his body’s reaction would be the same as his eyes. It exceeded the speed at which the brain could think of time. How terrifying could a speed be?

“Let’s see how long you can last!”

Yuwen Wushuang’s eyes slightly shivered, and his hands on the zither moved faster and faster. In the end, she sat on the back of the phoenix, and her hands looked like an afterimage. The sound was even more sonorous, as if hundreds of thousands of soldiers were fighting on the battlefield. As the killing intent continued to spread, the temperature of the surrounding air continued to drop.

Within the barrier, the commoners were shivering from the cold. It was as if they had fallen into a cave of ice and they could not resist at all. Many people had a layer of frost on their eyebrows and beards. Many people were crying out in pain from the cold.

This was practically a paradox. Flames raged in the sky, but elsewhere in the world, they were actually so cold that they froze!

As the sound of the zither grew more and more urgent, a snapping sound could be heard, as though a string had suddenly snapped. All the attacks came to an abrupt stop at this moment … It was just an illusion. It was precisely because Yuwen Wushuang’s attacks were too concentrated, when the sound was released, it stopped for less than a thousandth of a second as if the attack had ended.

How fast wahousandth of a second?

An Zheng had a deeper experience than anyone, because he was just getting used to the time … It had once been said that when a cultivator began to adapt to time, then he was no longer far from being able to control time.
