Chapter 90

Niu Mo Yuan Ba's body recovered extremely quickly. In just a moment, the wounds had already tightened, and there was no more blood. Although not fully healed, it did not affect Zhuang Wudao's ability to use his fists and feet.

However, at this moment, Zhuang Wudao could no longer pay attention to his injuries. Gu Yue Ming's sword light shattered, and his entire figure seemed to be lifted by a strange force, rising to a height of twenty zhang, looking down from above. The sword momentum also became more transcendent, even more fierce and powerful. The moonlight gathered, forming a layer of silver light around Gu Yue Ming, making him appear extraordinary. Twelve arcs of silver light, resembling crescent moons, also condensed around him.

Zhuang Wudao's eyes narrowed slightly. Gu Yue Ming was now high in the air, a skill that only Foundation Establishment realm cultivators could achieve, and it was beyond the range of his fists and feet.

If it were anyone else, this battle would only be defensive, unable to attack, and unable to harm Gu Yue Ming even a bit. However, he was not afraid. With a snap of his fingers, nine crimson fire butterflies suddenly burst out from his sleeve.

One turned into two, two into three, three into thousands. The nine Starfire Divine Butterflies instantly split into thousands of fire butterflies. They flapped their fiery wings, forming a cloud of fire, rising up. Each one moved gracefully, covering the area where the moonlight gathered.

Gu Yue Ming's expression finally changed slightly. The twelve moon arcs, which had just formed, could only scatter. They swept and slashed around him, forming a blurry silver wall, blocking the approaching fire butterflies and tearing them apart.

However, although the Starfire Divine Butterflies were not as fast as the blade lights, they could disperse and regroup. As long as the flame power did not run out, they could continue endlessly. The Starfire Divine Butterflies could not get close, and the twelve moon arcs could not break free. The two sides were at a stalemate.

In the distance, Gu Yue Tianfang could not help but stand up from his seat. His eyes flashed with surprise as he looked at Zhuang Wudao standing on the stage.

Not only him, but everyone around him was also shocked.

When Zhuang Wudao used the 'Great Stone Splitting' technique earlier, it was already confusing. Now, with countless Starfire Divine Butterflies appearing, it was even more astonishing and unbelievable!

"How is this possible? A third-rank extraordinary technique can be fully recovered in less than six hours? If it were a fair fight, who among the same rank cultivators in this world could be his match?"

Gu Yue Qingrong felt his scalp tingle, his legs go weak, and his chest and back covered in cold sweat. From morning until now, it had only been five hours and a moment.

"If I had known this, Ming should not have delayed!"

Gu Yue Tianfang, however, watched intently and then relaxed: "Stay calm and observe carefully. The fire butterflies' flame power is far less than in the morning. The Starfire Divine Butterflies he used in the morning have not dispersed."

Gu Yue Qingrong was stunned and observed again. Although the strange expression in his eyes grew stronger, he was no longer as panicked as before.

"It must be a mutation caused by the Stone Ming essence flame. Extraordinary techniques are indeed remarkable. However, Ming can still handle it."

Gu Yue Tianfang shook his head with a gloomy expression: "Ming will go to the sect to cultivate. Although he will be the clan leader in the future, the one who truly manages the affairs will be you. If you panic and lose composure at every turn, how can I be at ease?"

"If it comes to remaining calm in the face of danger, I will never catch up to Ming and you, Father, not in this lifetime."

Gu Yue Qingrong smiled awkwardly, his face still serious: "In just a moment, both have already used two extraordinary techniques. If my guess is correct, Ming is preparing to decide the outcome. Indeed, he wants a quick resolution—"

"Only by doing so can he win. Watch carefully!"

Although he said this, Gu Yue Tianfang's fists were already tightly clenched.

Even before the autumn wind rose, the cicadas sensed it. For some unknown reason, his heart began to race uncontrollably, and his anxiety and unease grew to the extreme.

It seemed that even Gu Yue Tianfang could be anxious and almost lose his composure. Was it pure worry, or a premonition?

According to the rules, Gu Yue Ming's remaining two extraordinary techniques should be able to counter Zhuang Wudao's Niu Mo Body and fist techniques. Why was he so uneasy?

"The Moon God Sword can briefly fly, but not for long. Ming intended to use sword qi to defeat the enemy, but unexpectedly, Zhuang Wudao can still use the Starfire Divine Butterflies."

Gu Yue Qingrong did not notice Gu Yue Ming's abnormality and had already calmed down: "Fortunately, Ming was prepared. The remaining two extraordinary techniques can counter the Niu Mo Body."

At this moment, the audience below was filled with exclamations. Few could see through the true nature of Zhuang Wudao's extraordinary techniques. Most of the thousands of people present had pale faces.

If Zhuang Wudao's extraordinary techniques were not exhausted, the outcome of this battle was still uncertain.

Even Li Chongzhen, with his high cultivation, had not seen Zhuang Wudao's first use of the 'Starfire Divine Butterflies' and could not discern the situation. His face was cold, as if it could drip water, and he could only look up at the moon-white figure in the air, his eyes filled with hope.

In the air, Gu Yue Ming continued to rise, drawing more moonlight. He ignored the fire butterflies surrounding him and rose to over fifty zhang. The green steel sword emitted a glow, and a 'sword qi' seemed to form.

Zhuang Wudao grunted and, without waiting to see what Gu Yue Ming was doing, generated an absorption force on his palm.

Pseudo-Wushuang, Dragon Seizing Tiger!

"Come down!"

The magnetic force at this moment was nearly ten times stronger than the previous Dragon Seizing force. Even though Gu Yue Ming was fifty zhang above the ground, he was still affected, his body swaying, and he showed signs of falling.

"Dragon Seizing force is not omnipotent, the moon is high in the sky!"

After sinking three zhang, Gu Yue Ming stabilized again. The vast moonlight enveloped him, allowing him to resist the Dragon Seizing force and continue to rise, merging with the moon in the sky. More starlight and moonlight bent and illuminated him, generating a magnetic force that continuously repelled and neutralized the Dragon Seizing force.

At the peak, Gu Yue Ming slashed with his sword. The sword qi swept through the air for over thirty zhang. With a tearing sound, it easily broke through Zhuang Wudao's 'Dragon Seizing Tiger' technique, completely neutralizing the absorption force.

At this moment, Gu Yue Ming's sword momentum changed again. The silver sword qi continued to flicker at the tip of the sword, and a thread of green qi formed in front of the green steel sword.

Bacton Cang Jue suddenly appeared below the stage, standing with his hands behind his back, his eyes filled with complex emotions. There was regret, admiration, and a hint of reluctance.

"Moon God Sword, Clear Wind and Bright Moon!"

Bacton Wan'er was also momentarily stunned. Third-rank extraordinary! Gu Yue Ming's innate technique was this strongest sword technique of the Moon God Sword!

The Niu Mo Body, though strong, was completely countered by this technique! Unless he had another 'Dragon Seizing Tiger' technique, there was no chance of winning!

Gu Yue Qingrong's lips curled slightly, his expression calm. As expected, Zhuang Wudao's innate technique, which he had never shown before, was the 'Niu Mo Body.' Gu Yue Ming did not choose a more powerful sword technique but specifically chose 'Clear Wind and Bright Moon,' which only enhanced his floating and moonlight power, for this moment. Everything was as Ming had predicted, without a single mistake.

The next moment would decide the outcome.

Li Chongzhen looked up at the sky, a smile appearing in his eyes. He had indeed underestimated this young man. Of course! A genius from a noble family is not comparable to a weed growing in the mud.

This sword strike would either kill or injure!

Many in the audience also showed excitement. Although Gu Yue Ming's sword techniques had never been seen before, the 'Clear Wind and Bright Moon' technique of the Moon God Sword had been famous in Yuecheng for hundreds of years.

Countless sword whistles pierced the air, the moonlight and wind blade sword qi merging. Green sword qi followed Gu Yue Ming's sword, suddenly falling from the sky.

Even the residual force caused the ironwood stage to crack like a spider web.

Even Li Chongzhen had to retreat ten zhang, leaving the stage to avoid the sword qi.

Zhuang Wudao's body was also trembling, resisting the first wave of sword qi. The golden silk gloves shattered, and his protective aura was close to collapse. However, he was not alarmed but rather pleased, his lips curling.

One move to decide the outcome? Perfect!

His true essence surged like a raging tide, his protective aura almost solid, with a faint yellow hue. The magnetic force at his feet was fully activated, protecting his body.

He stood like a boulder, unmoving under the sword qi.

However, the green sword qi seemed endless, like waves crashing against a shore. Each strike continuously cut through the magnetic aura, gradually breaking Zhuang Wudao's 'boulder.'

But was his innate technique only this much?

"Niu Mo Dance!"

His arms swung, creating a sky full of palm shadows. Each palm strike, like a great stone throw, instantly covered the sky!

"Niu Mo Body, Great Stone Throw? It's both offensive and defensive, with the power to crush ten elephants. Unfortunately, it's useless now—"

Xia Miao sneered, waving his sleeve to open the coffin lid. When the 'Clear Wind and Bright Moon' technique reached its peak, even late-stage Qi Condensation realm cultivators could not withstand it.

Gu Yue Tianfang had already moved, standing beside Bacton Cang Jue. Li Chongzhen might not intervene in time.

The 'Clear Wind and Bright Moon' technique consisted of 360 sword qi strikes. Even if Zhuang Wudao's Niu Mo Body could withstand ten or a hundred strikes, how could it withstand 360 without a scratch?

It seemed there was no hope.

This valuable red coffin, worth a hundred gold, was a good purchase.

Another 'boom' echoed, but it was not Zhuang Wudao being hit by the green sword qi. Instead, two Clear Wind sword qi strikes in the air were dispersed by a mysterious, powerful force.

The illusory palm shadows rushed into the air, reaching fifty zhang high. They swept through the air, clearing all the green sword qi.

Gu Yue Ming, with no protection in the air, was hit by a palm shadow. He spat out a mouthful of blood and was about to fall.

Xia Miao's pupils contracted, and he was momentarily stunned.

"Is this, a palm strike through the air?"
