From a Zhengyi Taoist Child to a Master of All Laws

Chapter 668 Battle of Ling Guang

After a long and drawn-out battle, Li Yang felt somewhat relieved that Luo Qiushui seemed to be practicing a more yin-based martial art, which was countered by the Blazing Seven Birds Fan. Caught off guard, her clothes were burned, revealing a large expanse of her snow-white shoulders.
Luo Qiushui was startled and quickly covered up her exposed skin, retreating several kilometers away to glare angrily at Li Yang.

Li Yang didn't chase after him. He held the Blazing Seven Birds Fan to his chest, struck a pose like the Blue Star Prime Minister Zhuge Liang, and smiled ambiguously.

This was an unprecedented event. As the Moon Lord of Yaochi, this was the first time she had been defeated by a cultivator of the same realm. Despite the fact that she was restrained by the cultivation technique and did not bring any magic weapon, it was still hard for Luo Qiushui to accept!
Looking at the hateful little face opposite her, Luo Qiushui covered her burned robes with her hands, gritted her teeth, but dared not make any rash moves.

"Infernal Flame of Purgatory Valley, I'll remember you."

Her expression turned cold as she looked at a wisp of cloud nearby.

"There were outsiders present today, and I left the fortress in a hurry, so I didn't have my magical artifact with me. I'll definitely settle this with you another time!"

Having said that, Luo Qiushui's robes fluttered, and she vanished in an instant.

Li Yang followed Luo Qiushui's gaze to a cloud layer, gently waving his feather fan. He had noticed the aura there long ago, but he didn't want to point it out, just wanting to see what tricks the other side was up to.

"Yan Jin, you are truly heartless. Treating the Moon Lord of Yaochi like this, aren't you afraid that monster from the Xuanhuang Palace will come after you?"

Knowing he had been discovered, Ling Guang walked out from behind the clouds with a cold smile, followed by the white-robed man from the Four Seasons Sect who had previously tried to seize the Celestial Immortal's remains.

"I never imagined that someone could fight against someone of the same realm and make the Moon Lord of Yaochi suffer a loss. If word of this battle gets out, your name, Yan Jin, will probably spread throughout the Nine Sects of Jizhen immediately. You are truly remarkable."

The white-robed cultivator from the Four Seasons Sect looked at Li Yang, and although he was praising him, his eyes were constantly fixed on the Blazing Seven Birds Fan and the storage ring in Li Yang's hand.

"Yan Jin, no wonder I haven't seen you for the past month. You've been hiding here secretly refining weapons, neglecting the fellow Daoists of the Nine Sects!"

Ling Guang's expression instantly turned cold; he had no intention of beating around the bush with Li Yang, and seemed to have Li Yang completely under his thumb.

“The material of the magical artifact in your hand is very similar to the feathers of the fire crows in the valley. Recently, the number of fire crows in the valley has decreased sharply. As the elder in charge of law enforcement, I now order you to obediently hand over the precious fan in your hand so that I may examine it!”

Ling Guang's voice was harsh and his eyes gleamed green, revealing his greedy and ugly nature.

In his opinion, Yan Jin's cultivation level was about the same as Luo Qiushui's, and the reason why Yan Jin won was largely due to the bright red fan in Yan Jin's hand.

“I am not as hypocritical as Fellow Daoist Ling Guang. Since he wanted your precious fan, I will take your storage ring. Just now, Luo Qiushui seemed to have come for a precious artifact. If you offer it to me, you will form a karmic bond with me, Immortal Lord Xuan Ying.”

Without asking Li Yang's opinion at all, the two men quickly dismembered his belongings, treating him like a fish on a chopping board.

No matter how incredibly powerful Li Yang's combat strength was at the Human Immortal realm, he was still just a Human Immortal. The two of them were Earth Immortals, and even top-tier Earth Immortals at that. They had even forgotten what they were like when they were Human Immortals.

They were confident that either of them could take down Li Yang and seize the treasure in an instant.

Hearing the two men's shameful words, Li Yang was not angry. He waved the Blazing Seven Birds Fan in his hand and calmly looked at Ling Guang: "You dare to so brazenly try to steal my magic weapon. Aren't you afraid I'll report you to the Grand Elder of the Valley and embarrass you?"

"As for you, just a few days ago you were like a stray dog, wagging your tail and begging for mercy, only caring about running away. What good fate do you have?" Li Yang looked down at him with disdain, scathingly recounting the embarrassing situation of Xuan Ying being frightened by Qi and running away with his head in his hands three days ago. He did not take these two famous Earth Immortals of the Extreme True Realm seriously.

"Ant, you are looking for death!"

Ling Guang's expression turned cold, and he made the first move. He had a long-standing grudge against Li Yang and always believed that Li Yang had tricked him into having his thousand years of cultivation absorbed by that strange celestial skeleton. So, he attacked with hatred in his heart. The brilliant sword light was like a shooting star in the sky and rushed to Li Yang in an instant. The powerful sword energy cut Li Yang's skin painfully.

"It's you who are looking for death!"

Li Yang's eyes turned cold. He covered his fist with the Yuan Guang Cicada Robe and added the Golden Light Mantra. His eyes sharpened as he observed the magic weapon in Ling Guang's hand. He gathered his strength, threw a punch, and his fist seemed to be imbued with the power of mountains and seas. The violent and powerful spiritual energy distorted the surrounding space. He turned and threw a punch.

"Bless with [Immense Strength], [Barrier], and [Radiant Light]!" Li Yang silently chanted in his heart, and the golden light on his fist intensified, becoming so intense that it was almost blinding.

boom!
Li Yang's fist slammed into the Ling Guangfa Sword, and a powerful shockwave spread out like a mushroom cloud, instantly causing the surrounding air to collapse and create a vacuum.

hum!
Ling Guang felt an immense force surge from the sword to his arm, making his hand go numb and almost causing him to lose his grip on the magic sword. He was forced to retreat hundreds of meters.

Li Yang was also in bad shape. Although he was protected by the Yuan Guang Chan Yi, the Golden Light Mantra, and the Earthly Fiend Divine Power, the blood vessels in his right fist burst, his arm spasmed, and he flew backward in a miserable state, his spiritual energy surging.

In their first clash of supernatural powers, the two were evenly matched!

Ling Guang couldn't accept this. He stopped in his tracks, his pupils widened, and his right hand holding the sword trembled slightly as he stared at Li Yang opposite him in shock: "No, impossible! You're just a Human Immortal, how could you have such combat power?"

"Nothing is impossible. I am invincible among immortals! And above immortals, I am equally invincible!"

Li Yang spat out a mouthful of blood and laughed wildly.

With this attack, Li Yang completely grasped Ling Guang's strength. If Qi Yin hadn't taken away his thousand years of cultivation, he might have been forced to use all his trump cards in a fierce battle.
But now, it's nothing but a clay chicken and a clay dog!
"You little beast, how dare you insult me!"

Ling Guang's expression was cold as he swung his sword again, but this time he dared not be careless and was fully prepared.
This intense and serious battle with a human immortal was something Ling Guang had never imagined before.

He followed the orthodox path of a sword immortal, and even possessed a supernatural ability similar to the unity of man and sword. At this moment, he was performing incantations and hand seals, and his body was gradually merging with his natal sword.

The sword energy intensified instantly, seemingly cutting through space itself, like a dazzling meteor, causing Li Yang to show a hint of solemnity on his face.

He knew the terrifying boost to combat power that this state provided.

He even had the urge to unleash the Nanming Sword to fight his opponent, but he forcibly stopped himself. The Nanming Sword was too extraordinary. Once he unleashed it, unless he killed Ling Guang and Xuan Ying, who was watching from the sidelines, to silence them, their cultivation and knowledge would likely reveal the truth.

"Then let's fight!" Li Yang snorted coldly, adding the Earthly Fiend Divine Power and the Golden Light Mantra. Then, he mobilized the four Five Thunder Divine Qi in his dantian and instantly went all out. His long hair fluttered because of the powerful and free-flowing four-colored lightning arcs on his body, and his eyes were filled with terrifying lightning, as if an ancient thunder god had come to life.
