Chapter 206 Returning to the Old Place [2] There must be some personal grudges involved, right?
Just then, a slight fluctuation of immortal energy appeared in the small square below the steps, and a blue passage appeared before all the Dharma Images.
This is……
Yue Yuanming's expression hardened. This familiar immortal power... could it be...?
A figure gradually appeared in the passageway—
Invisible streams of water surrounded him, his long, light blue hair moved without wind, and his familiar face carried the same aloof indifference. His eyes, as vast as the ocean, held a chilling and... world-weary quality that made Yue Yuanming feel a sense of unease.
Only the magnificent light blue robe she wore remained exactly the same as in her memory.
"Water Prince, you dare to come back?!" The first to discover that Shui Qingli had returned to the forbidden land was the tenth-level Martial God Ling. He summoned the Soul Martial Halberd and charged towards Shui Qingli without hesitation.
Meanwhile, Zhen, a fifth-tier warrior just as warlike as Martial God Ling, gathered his immortal power into his fist and swiftly attacked Shui Qingli, saying, "Welcome home!"
Shui Qingli, who had just returned, was not flustered at all by the strange way Wu Shen Ling and Zhen welcomed her; in fact, she even felt a little nostalgic.
He reached out one hand and grasped Wu Shenling's Soul Martial Halberd, while using his other hand to block Zhen's fist, which contained extremely strong destructive immortal power.
His hands were enveloped in powerful immortal energy, so much so that the attacks from Martial God Ling and Zhen couldn't even tear his gloves and sleeves.
However, this stalemate is not a solution.
"Water droplets freeze, waterspout!"
Shui Qingli immediately used a water tornado to blast Wu Shenling and Zhen away from him.
"Soul-Piercing Halberd!"
The Martial God Ling, who had been thrown back by the water tornado, stopped his retreat, pushed off the ground with his back foot, and threw the Soul Martial Halberd in his hand, attacking Shui Qingli again.
"Water droplets condense, Water Shadow Sword!"
Without hesitation, Shui Qingli summoned the Water Shadow Sword to block the Soul Martial Halberd that suddenly attacked him. With a slight flick of the sword tip, she changed the direction of the halberd's attack by relying on her immortal power and skills, which were stronger than those of the Martial God Ling.
Then he swung the Water Shadow Sword, creating an invisible sword aura.
Before he could recall his Soul-Piercing Halberd, Martial God Ling could only instinctively cross his arms in front of him, gathering his immortal power to resist the sword energy.
"what--"
Martial God Ling was sent flying by a tremendous force. Seeing this, the Seventh Rank Eight Wind quickly flew behind him, supporting his shoulder and blocking his retreat.
The martial god Ling, who was hit by the sword energy, only had two obvious scratches on his arm and did not suffer any real damage.
However, he knew very well that the seemingly weak sword energy actually contained powerful immortal energy, which he could not withstand at all.
A rare feeling of lingering fear welled up in him. He simply couldn't imagine whether he would have been able to save his arm today if Shui Qingli had shown even the slightest murderous intent.
But it was precisely because of this that Wu Shenling became even more aware of the gap between them, which was not only the gap in immortal power, but also the even more insurmountable gap in their control over immortal power.
Ultimately, it's because fairies mostly engage in magical duels and don't often employ techniques. Therefore, the "Water Codex" provided by Qianqian is an overwhelming force for any fairy in terms of technique and control.
"Xiao Lingzi, are you alright?" Ba Feng checked Wu Shenling's arm and, seeing that he hadn't suffered any serious injury, asked with lingering fear.
"It's alright, he held back." Wu Shenling shook his head, realizing that Shui Qingli had shown mercy, and he couldn't launch another attack.
Having dealt with the Martial God Ling, Shui Qingli quickly turned to look at Zhen on the other side. Zhen, having regained his footing, attacked her again.
"shock!"
Seeing that the immortal power was about to shake her, Shui Qingli jumped up to dodge, and with a light wave of her left hand, she condensed a water dragon, which attacked Zhen with bared fangs and claws.
Zhen showed no fear, directly gathering his immortal power in his hand and fiercely meeting the attack: "Zhen! Shatter!"
The water dragon was scattered, turning into countless water droplets. At the same time, Shui Qingli transformed into flowing water and took the opportunity to come to Zhen's front. Without hesitation, she plunged the Water Shadow Sword in her hand into Zhen's chest.
"Not good..." The pain in his chest made Zhen react instantly, and he raised his fist to retaliate, but the next moment, he heard Shui Qingli's emotionless voice:
"Water droplets condense, water, shadow, blood, sword!"
In an instant, several blood-red swords pierced through Zhen's back, and blood flowed out continuously, soaking his dark armor.
Shui Qingli remained expressionless. He hadn't forgotten the grudge from his previous life, so he hit a little harder.
(Don't ask, the answer is that Riri holds a grudge.)
"Water droplets freeze, water dragon!"
The Water Shadow Sword in her hand dissipated, and with a wave of her hand, Shui Qingli condensed a water dragon once more, which sent the opponent flying and crashing heavily into a pillar in the hall.
The stone pillar shattered with a crash, and the rubble and the ground that fell were stained with bright red blood. Zhen, unsurprisingly, collapsed into a pool of blood and fainted.
Of course, Shui Qingli was able to defeat Zhen so quickly not only because Zhen was weaker than him, but also because no one expected him to strike so hard.
This attack was probably partly driven by personal grudges...
Martial God Ling and Eight Winds exchanged glances, suddenly feeling somewhat fortunate that Shui Qingli had shown mercy earlier; otherwise, there would likely have been two more Dharma Forms lying on the ground...
The other Dharma Aspects, who were still observing the situation, couldn't help but gasp upon seeing this, and their gazes toward Shui Qingli became increasingly solemn.
As expected, a second-tier cultivator is still a second-tier cultivator. Even after a thousand years, they still possess strength that cannot be underestimated!
Shui Qingli paid no attention to what the other Dharma Images were thinking. He looked up at the purple moon behind Yue Yuanming, his expression unreadable.
It seems that what I'm looking for is right there.
