Wutian Mo wanted the Golden Calabash in Qingfeng Li’s hands, and Qingfeng Li wanted Wutian Mo’s Demon King Spear.
They stared at each other, neither willing to back down.
Wutian Mo let out a cold laugh and started swinging the Demon King Spear in his hand again. It pierced through the air, stabbing right at Qingfeng.
Qingfeng Li channeled his vital essence and opened up the lid of the Golden Calabash, unleashing a burst of golden energy at the Demon King Spear once again.
As the golden energy and the Demon King Spear clashed, wild sky-shaking shockwaves filled the bottom of the ocean. The entire space seemed to be shattered by explosions.
Both spiritual weapons were extremely powerful and had been used by invincible masters. Neither was ready to bow to the other.
The battle between the Demon King Spear and the Golden Calabash was destined to render no winner, leaving both severely exhausted and damaged in the end.
Wutian Mo looked to Qingfeng Li and declared coldly,
Don’t think you are the only one with a spiritual device because I have one as well.
As he finished, he also took out a calabash. But it was different from the Golden Calabash – it was black.
It shot out a beam of black light, tearing up the air and flying straight at the Golden Calabash.
The Golden Calabash shot out another beam of golden energy that collided into the back light, and both dissipated in the air.
While the two calabashes were going at each other, Wutian Mo attacked Qingfeng Li with the Demon King Spear in his hand once more.
Qingfeng Li hurriedly responded by taking out his Golden Light Sword and striking it forward. Yet, only three layers of seal had been lifted on his Golden Light Sword, and it was still no match for its opponent. In a short moment, Qingfeng Li had already been forced to fall back.
Big Brother, who do you think will win this battle? Qingfeng Li or Wutian Mo?
With her eyelashes lightly fluttering, the third princess asked the Eastern Sea Prince.
The Eastern Sea Prince smiled coolly and answered,
I think Wutian Mo will win this one.
Anyone with eyes could see that Wutian Mo had the advantage and was overpowering Qingfeng Li with ease now.
But the third princess shook her head and said,
Big Brother, even though Wutian Mo seems to have the upperhand at the moment, my hunch is saying that Qingfeng Li is going to be the winner.
The third princess had a love-hate relationship with Qingfeng Li. Even though he had bullied and tormented her, he had also saved her life.
Suddenly, while fighting Wutian Mo, Qingfeng Li had an epiphany. He realized that he was at the fourth level of the Spirit King Realm and was able to unlock the fourth layer of the seal on the Golden Light Sword already.
Why wouldn’t he? With the Golden Calabash in his left hand fighting against Wutian Mo’s black calabash, Qingfeng Li started working on releasing the fourth seal of the Golden Light Sword.
Qingfeng Li recited a strange incantation, or rather, a chant that he had learned from the Peacock Demon Empress back when he was on Dragon-Tiger Mountain – it was the chant to unlock the fourth seal of the Golden Light Sword.
Wooooom!
An explosive noise erupted from the sword when the fourth seal was lifted.
A golden light entered Qingfeng Li’s brain, which transmitted the skill tome for the Golden Light Sword’s fourth technique.
This fourth sword was called
Sword Energy Mountains and Rivers
, and it could gather up sword energy into the form of mountains and rivers. Entirely formed by sword energy, the mountains and rivers could cut through anything in the world. It was dominatingly powerful.
Qingfeng Li was very intelligent and was still very good at grasping new concepts, so it did not take long for him to understand the fourth sword skill.
This fourth sword was different from the three that came before it. The first three were purely sword techniques, and this fourth one not only included the projection of mountains and rivers made by sword energy, it also possessed a trace of sword intent.
Sword intent was the strongest element born out of sword energy.
In the past, Qingfeng Li had learned a little sword intent, but he was not able to unify the sword intent with his sword techniques. But now, he was able to.
Wutian Mo laughed aloud while watching Qingfeng Li retreat. He asserted with contempt,
Earthling, your spiritual device is not as powerful as mine, and you are not as strong as me. Just succumb to me already.
All Qingfeng Li felt towards Wutian Mo’s arrogance was his disdain. Letting out a cold laugh, Qingfeng Li responded,
Wutian Mo, soon you will learn of my dominating power.
This time, Qingfeng Li no longer backed down but chose to actively launch attacks instead. He swung the Golden Light Sword and formed a mass of sword energy.
The sword energy projection contained a hint of sword intent that created sharp air blades and fiercely stabbed towards Wutian Mo.
The sight of Qingfeng Li’s attack did not worry Wutian Mo one bit. He laughed since he believed Qingfeng Li was no match for him just a while ago, and that no drastic changes could have been made in such a short amount of time.
Wutian Mo swung his Demon King Spear at the projections of mountains and rivers formed from sword energy.
Except Wutian Mo was wrong. He greatly underestimated the strength and power of the Sword Energy Mountains and Rivers.
Boom!
The Demon King Spear crashed into the Sword Energy Mountains and Rivers and resulted in earth-shattering explosions. The entire world was heavily shaken as if an earthquake had just occurred.
This time though, Qingfeng Li did not back down, and it was Wutian Mo who had to take a step back.
Those who witnessed this scene were greatly shocked. They could never have thought that Qingfeng Li could have gained the upperhand now. It was unexpected since just a while ago, Wutian Mo’s Demon King Spear was still rendering Qingfeng Li defenseless.
Only moments had passed, and Qingfeng Li had reversed the situation and started overpowering Wutian Mo. It was miraculous.
Certainly, low level self-cultivators could not tell what had just happened, but the strong and powerful ones could.
For instance, those of the Dragon Palaces, Ziyue Jiang, the Blond Daoist, and the Gold Monk were all able to tell that Qingfeng Li was experiencing a breakthrough – that he was able to master a new sword technique. Qingfeng Li did it while in a battle and he succeeded.
Indeed, Qingfeng Li’s insights and gifts in cultivation were remarkable and extraordinary.
Although Ziyue Jiang was a master on Planet Yue, she couldn’t help but admire Qingfeng Li’s exceptional abilities.
If Ziyue Jiang were put in the same situation, she would applaud herself if she were just able to dodge the attacks from Wutian Mo. Mastering a new sword technique while being attacked would be impossible for her.
Wutian Mo finally realized that Qingfeng Li was learning a sword technique and was using his attacks to practice.
Bastard, you were actually cultivating sword techniques while fighting with me? How dare you take my attacks lightly!
Wutian Mo confronted Qingfeng Li in a surly voice while feeling notably annoyed.
In fact, Wutian Mo was not only annoyed but also a little jealous.
Although Wutian Mo had great strength and power, they were acquired through using family elixirs and cultivation techniques, but not genuine insights.
He could rarely cultivate insights. As for cultivating insights for sword techniques during battles, that had never happened.
For cultivating insights for sword techniques during a battle, it would take an exceptional, one in a billion kind of genius. Only people like that could experience breakthroughs in a battle.
Cultivating during battles was apparently what Qingfeng Li was used to, and that was why Wutian Mo got jealous.
Wutian Mo felt that he was not as gifted as Qingfeng Li. The thought of letting Qingfeng Li continue to grow and strengthen worried and frightened him. He could not afford to let that happen.
A trace of joy appeared on Qingfeng Li’s face as he saw that the fourth sword skill of the Golden Light Sword was able to force Wutian Mo to retreat with one hit.
