The Legend of the Netherworld

The atmosphere at the scene was ignited instantly, and the disciples on both sides of the stands were shouting the names of the two. "Senior Brother Li Qing, come on! You can do it!" The junior brothers and sisters of Chan Yi Tang shouted wildly.

Senior Brother Ye Xuan’s fans were not to be outdone and they roared at the top of their lungs, “Senior Brother Ye Xuan, come on!” They were determined to overwhelm the other side with their momentum.

At this time, Ye Xuan and Li Qing jumped into the ring respectively. Ye Xuan was wearing a Taoist robe, her posture was as straight as a pine tree, and her eyebrows revealed an extraordinary temperament.

His eyes were deep, as if he could see through whatever the other person was thinking. The corners of his robe swayed gently in the wind, and every step he took revealed his profound cultivation and calm demeanor.

Li Qing had taken off his Taoist robe at this time, revealing his sturdy upper body. The outline of his muscles was clearly visible, and his bulging back muscles were like small hills, which made the junior sister in the stands look at him with eager eyes and even swallow her saliva frequently.

The two sides exchanged bows, performing a final pre-match courtesy, then moved to opposite sides of the ring, staring intently at each other. A sudden silence descended on the scene, like the calm before a storm, anticipating the bloody storm to come. Some of the younger apprentice sisters in the stands were so nervous their hair stood on end.

In an instant, only a residual shadow of Li Qing remained in the original place. He used the "Phantom Body Technique" and his real body appeared behind Ye Xuan. His left hand turned into wind and his right hand turned into thunder. A "Wind and Thunder Fist" with the force of thunder went straight to Ye Xuan's head.

"Be careful!" A childish reminder came from the stands. In a flash, the ice wall behind Ye Xuan solidified instantly, as if emerging from the void. Li Qing's "Wind and Thunder Fist" smashed heavily on the ice wall, leaving cracks.

Ye Xuan formed seals with her hands and chanted some incantations. Suddenly, sharp ice cones grew out of the ice wall and stabbed towards Li Qing fiercely.

Li Qing's hands immediately transformed into two ice blades, blocking in front of him, instantly shattering all the attacking ice cones into ice shards. A smile appeared on the corner of his mouth, "This is specially prepared for you."

At that moment, the ice wall exploded violently, sending all the shattered ice hurtling towards Li Sin. Ye Xuan had already distanced herself from Li Sin, staying clear of the shattered ice. However, Li Sin's "Ice Breaker" blocked all the shattered ice. The icy mist that followed the explosion enveloped Li Sin. The stands fell silent, everyone confused and waiting for the mist to dissipate.

Ye Xuan did not stop, as he knew that Li Qing would never be defeated so easily. He formed a seal and performed the "Ice Sealed Ten Thousand Miles" technique. An extremely cold air emanated from his fingertips, quickly spreading and freezing everything on the ring, forming a vast ice field, causing severe cold damage to Li Qing and reducing his speed.

Suddenly, a cold light burst out from the ice fog and rushed towards Ye Xuan with the force of breaking through the air.

Ye Xuan's expression was cold, her eyes staring at the cold light like sharp blades, and a huge ice spear condensed in her hand - the Dragon Roaring Sky Spear. She waved the ice spear to meet Li Qing's spear. "Bang bang bang" the ice spear and the spear kept colliding, and flames flew everywhere.

The scene was ignited again, and everyone was cheering for this wonderful fight.

"Dragon King Break!" Li Qing shouted, the spear in his hand gleaming with a cold light, like a silver dragon piercing straight at him. Ye Xuan channeled her energy into her ice halberd, transforming into an ice dragon and striking fiercely. Silver dragon met ice dragon, spear tip against halberd tip. A wave of energy suddenly spread out around the arena, but was absorbed by the barrier at the edge of the arena, leaving the two sides in a stalemate.

Li Qing channeled all his energy into his spear and shouted loudly, causing the silver dragon to roar and completely break through the ice dragon before it. The ice halberd in Ye Xuan's hand shattered instantly. He was slightly startled, his pupils shrinking slightly, and then he reacted quickly, and three ice walls suddenly appeared before him.

The first ice wall broke, the second ice wall broke, and the third ice wall broke. Everyone on the stage was worried about Ye Xuan, and Lin Jiao's palms were also sweating from nervousness.

Seeing the spear thrust towards Ye Xuan, Ye Xuan raised her lips, formed hand seals, and shouted, "Freeze me." The extreme cold energy she had just unleashed solidified the broken fragments of the ice wall, freezing Li Qing within it. Li Qing rapidly channeled all his energy, his body blazing like fire, instantly melting the ice wall and freeing himself.

At this moment, an ice dragon suddenly appeared under Ye Xuan's feet, carrying Ye Xuan steadily to mid-air, and then shocked Li Qing so much that he staggered back.

The ice dragon roared violently at Li Qing, who had just regained his footing. The powerful airflow made Li Qing instinctively squint his eyes, but it did not cause any harm. It was full of provocation and contempt. Ye Xuan's fans were boiling with excitement at this moment, cheering wildly for her.

Li Qing raised his palm, facing the ice dragon, and shouted "Disperse", and the airflow instantly dissipated. Li Qing curled his lips and sneered softly, "You like to pretend, but you will be in trouble later."

He used the "Dragon Soaring to the Nine Heavens Strike" without hesitation. Li Qing and the spear merged into one, and with the spear as a guide, he transformed into a giant dragon and fiercely stabbed Ye Xuan on the head of the ice dragon.

Ye Xuan's expression was cold, her eyes filled with fierceness as she drove the Ice Dragon to counter Li Qing's "Dragon Soaring to the Nine Heavens Strike". A violent energy wave was generated, but fortunately it was all absorbed by the barrier.

The result was beyond everyone's expectations. Ye Xuan half-knelt on the ring, breathing heavily, staring intently at Li Qing in the distance, and whispered, "You actually broke through to the seventh level of Jiayin!"

"Hahaha, not bad." Li Qing stood in the distance with a spear in his hand. His muscles were already engorged with blood during the battle, and his whole body seemed to be reshaped by an invisible force. "So I don't blame you for losing to me today." His tone was full of contempt.

Everyone in the stands looked at Li Qing in disbelief, discussing: "Senior Brother Li Qing, he should be the first among all the brothers to break through the seventh level of Jiayin." Someone responded: "No wonder he dared to challenge Ye Xuan in front of the Sutra Pagoda three months ago, it turns out he had the confidence." At this time, the stands of the Zen Hall were already boiling with excitement, and were celebrating wildly.

"It seems that he has been preparing for this battle for a long time." Lin Xiao's eyes were as cold as ice in the abyss. He looked at the two people on the field coldly and said lightly.

"Come on, Senior Brother Ye Xuan!" Lin Jiao shouted loudly. Lin Jiao knew that Ye Xuan would not give up easily.

Ye Xuan struggled to stand up and said softly, "I haven't lost yet. Aren't you too happy now?" Li Qing was stunned for a moment, his eyes filled with shock. He sighed inwardly, "He actually drove it out."

An ice man exactly like himself appeared in front of him, holding the same ice spear in his hand, and performing the "Dragon Soaring to the Nine Heavens Strike" to attack him.

The faces of the elders sitting in front were also filled with amazement. Elder Chanxin said, "This child actually mastered it!" The disciples in the stands were also shocked, with puzzled expressions on their faces.

At this time, Senior Brother Lin Qing explained softly, "This is our academy's secret Qi cultivation technique—'Twin Mirror Images: Martial Arts Reflection'. It's only taught to exceptionally gifted disciples and elders, and even then, they may not necessarily master it."

Although Li Qing was filled with shock, he still clenched his teeth, gripped his spear tightly, and unleashed "Dragon Soaring to the Nine Heavens Strike" to meet the Iceman. The two sides were in a tight stalemate. Ye Xuan's fingertips trembled as she tried her best to channel energy into the Iceman.

Li Qing also used up all his strength to hold on, his face ferocious, and shouted loudly: "You are not the real me, you can't stop me."

Ye Xuan fainted on the ground due to exhaustion, and the ice man shattered.

Li Qing stood there exhausted, his spear stuck heavily into the ground, breathing lightly, looking at the fallen Ye Xuan, but he couldn't feel happy in his heart, because at that time Elder Chanyi also taught him the "Illusionary Body Skills: Imitating Phantom Moves", but he was completely unable to use it. This battle completely showed the gap between him and Ye Xuan.

At this time, the headmaster stepped forward and said, "The winner of this match is Li Qing." Then he waved his hand, and Ye Xuan disappeared in an instant, returning to his meditation room. Then he said, "The next match is between Lin Xiao and Daoyi."
