Chapter 84

The gentle breeze brushed against his face!

The green robe fluttered in the wind, making a rustling sound.

The person under the robe stood like a stone statue that had stood for ten thousand years.

"Whoosh!"

In this seemingly eternal stillness, Qing Yi Jingyan's arms suddenly lifted.

A dense light orb on the black sword body exploded with a loud bang.

At the same moment, a vast surge of primordial energy surged out from his body. The white mist spread out, enveloping his entire body.

"Whoosh!"

Countless pairs of eyes, as if trained countless times, focused on Qing Yi Jingyan in unison.

"Damn! My eyes are going blind!"

"Damn! My eyes are also going blind!"

"What's going on? Is Jingyan also at the Xiantian realm? Has his primordial energy also turned into mist?"

"No, his primordial energy turning into mist is very different from that of the Xiantian realm. Look closely, the mist around Jingyan is different from the mist around Jing Tianlong!"

"You're right. The mist around Jingyan is relatively thinner, not as condensed as the primordial energy mist of a true Xiantian realm warrior. It seems to be half a step to Xiantian!"

"But... wasn't he confirmed to be at the Ninth Heaven of Martial Dao when he fought Jing Shuhe three days ago? Could he have reached the half-step Xiantian realm in just three days?"

"It seems that's the truth! This guy is a freak!"

"However, even if he is at the half-step Xiantian realm, he can't possibly defeat Jing Tianlong. Although his primordial energy has turned into mist, it's only a half-finished product, not comparable to the true Xiantian realm." Someone said in a heavy voice.

Jing Tianlong, wearing a golden robe, also had his pupils suddenly constrict.

When he saw the mist formed by the primordial energy around Jingyan, his resolve became even more determined.

This Jingyan was even more of a freak than he had imagined. He had personally witnessed Jingyan's battle with Jing Shuhe three days ago, and at that time, Jingyan definitely had not reached the stage where his primordial energy turned into mist. It had only been three days... What could be done in three days?

For a cultivator, three days was too short. Closing one's eyes and opening them again might take three days.

But Jingyan had used these three days to break through again, starting to turn his primordial energy into mist.

If more time passed, how much more would he grow? Once Jingyan stepped into the Xiantian realm, with his ability to fight across levels, what would Jing Tianlong do?

Even if Jing Tianlong was extremely confident in himself, he knew that once Jingyan stepped into the Xiantian realm, he would not be a match for Jingyan.

The high-ranking members of the Jing family on the platform and the heads in the VIP seats also had flickering expressions.

This battle was becoming more and more interesting.

"How long can this half-step Xiantian Jingyan last against Jing Tianlong?" Everyone was naturally thinking this.

As for Jingyan defeating Jing Tianlong, they hadn't even considered it. Any person with a sound mind wouldn't have such thoughts.

A Xiantian warrior is a Xiantian warrior, absolutely not comparable to a warrior below the Xiantian realm.

In Donglin City, once a warrior steps into the Xiantian realm, their status and position instantly make a qualitative leap. Any Xiantian warrior in a place like Donglin City can stand on their own.

These strong people on the platform also almost didn't notice that Jingyan was actually not yet at the half-step Xiantian realm.

"Jingyan!"

"How about we add a little excitement to our battle?" Jing Tianlong, his eyes turning, calmed his shock and said with a sinister smile.

Jingyan looked at Jing Tianlong, waiting for him to continue.

"You just received the reward for winning the family competition, ten thousand spirit stones. Yes, and three top-grade spirit stones, which we can value at twelve thousand spirit stones. Altogether, that's twenty-two thousand spirit stones."

"It's still a bit less. Oh, right, you also have a Divine Wood Token. Let's count the Divine Wood Token as well. However, the Divine Wood Token doesn't have a standard price, so let's round it up to fifty thousand spirit stones."

"How about we make the stakes of this battle fifty thousand spirit stones? If you lose, you give me what I mentioned. If I lose, I'll give you fifty thousand spirit stones."

Jing Tianlong said with a smile.

In fact, his main goal was not to covet the reward Jingyan received from the family competition. It was to strike a blow to Jingyan's martial heart.

In the three major academies, the Red Lotus Academy, Jing Tianlong had personally seen some prodigies fall into decline due to a single blow.

At this moment, Jing Tianlong felt that simply defeating Jingyan wasn't enough. He wanted to leave Jingyan with nothing, making him fall into despair.

Jingyan stared at Jing Tianlong.

"Jing Tianlong, if you want to gamble, I'll accompany you!" Jing Ziqi's voice came, and then everyone saw Jing Ziqi come to Jingyan and Jing Tianlong's side. "Jing Tianlong, I'll fight you on Jingyan's behalf! I accept the stakes you mentioned!"

Jing Ziqi's beautiful eyes, usually lively, were now fixed on Jing Tianlong.

"Oh?"

"When did the first genius of Donglin City need a woman to stand up for him?" Jing Tianlong sneered.

"Jing Tianlong, are you afraid of a woman? Are you afraid to fight me, a woman?" Jing Ziqi's breath condensed, and she taunted with a cold laugh.

"This battle is between Jing Tianlong and me, and has nothing to do with others!" Jingyan suddenly spoke, his tone light and gentle.

Then, he turned his gaze to Jing Chengye, "Clan Leader, I accept the stakes Jing Tianlong mentioned. Please be a witness, I'm afraid someone might regret it later and refuse to pay up!"

Jingyan smiled.

"Jingyan, you're courting death!" Jing Tianlong roared in anger, the primordial energy around his body exploding like a stone dropped into a calm lake.

Then, his body suddenly leaned forward. In an instant, a glowing red longsword appeared in his hand.

The longsword moved through the air, and the space seemed to be torn apart by this sword. A piercing sound echoed throughout the square.

Following that, the red longsword emitted a bright red light. The dazzling red light seemed to pierce the clouds, carrying a soul-shaking power, forming a ten-meter-long giant red sword shadow.

"Jingyan, be careful!" Jing Ziqi was extremely worried. She wanted to fight Jing Tianlong on Jingyan's behalf, but Jingyan didn't appreciate it, and she had no choice.

"Good timing!" Jingyan let out a long cry, and his still body moved like lightning.

The Flowing Light Sword was swung, forming three layers of sword barriers with the Three Stacked Waves of the Moon.

The spectators, holding their breath, only saw the green-robed Jingyan fiercely collide with the ten-meter-long red sword light.

"Is Jingyan courting death?" Countless warriors naturally had this thought.
