Episode 8: Walking a Thousand Miles Chapter 55 – The Battle of the Sanctuary
While the residents of the imperial capital were cheering for the 27th personal disciple in over 5,000 years, in the northwestern province far away from the imperial capital, Linley and the Saint Realm powerhouse ‘MacKenzie’ were drinking and rejoicing, and tonight, they were preparing to engage in battle.
Tonight, the curved moon hung in the sky, its faint silvery light illuminating the earth, as if the entire land was covered in a gauzy tent.
On the mountain path of the small barren mountain on the outskirts of the provincial city of Bazil, Linley and MacKenzie were walking side by side, and on Linley’s shoulder was Bebe. As for everyone else, they hadn’t come.
The only spectator of this battle was Bebe.
The small barren mountain was very barren, with only a few low and sparse trees, and the top of the mountain was even more bare. As Linley and McKensie stood side by side at the top of the mountain, the mountain wind whistled, blowing the robes on the two of them.
Linley and MacKenzie glanced at each other, both of them understanding the other’s meaning.
Beibei obediently jumped down from Lin Lei’s shoulder, Lin Lei also took off his shirt directly into the space ring, and then the whole body began to change dramatically, black scale armor almost instantly covered the whole body, elbows, back, forehead are emerging spikes, the steel dragon tail also flicked up, the pupils are instantly turned into emotionless dark gold color. That cyan-colored halo also lurked on the scale armor, and powerful air currents were released from Linley’s entire body in a cloud of flying sand.
“Worthy of being the ultimate warrior.”
MacKenzie’s eyes lit up.
“Whew!”
Linley and McKensie transformed into two rainbow lights almost simultaneously and flew into the sky above the small barren mountain. The two stood in the air, roughly a hundred meters away from each other.
McKensie flipped one hand. A green-colored lance appeared in his hand, “This lance is the result of me spending nearly twenty million gold coins, collecting various precious ores, and ultimately refining it into a lance called the ‘Green Flame’.”
Linley flipped one hand, and a purple soft sword appeared in his hand.
“This sword was obtained by me from a dangerous place in the Demonic Beast Mountain Range, named ‘Purple Blood’.”
Linley’s attainments in the Purple Blood Soft Sword had also reached the fourth level of ‘Wind Upanishad’, only in terms of ‘Wind Upanishad’, Linley had only comprehended the first level of ‘Wind Wave Movement’.
But even so, with the Purple Blood Soft Sword itself being special. Linley was also confident enough to deal with MacKenzie.
“The feeling of a holy realm. The entire body is filled with endless power.”
Linley held the Purple Blood Excalibur in his hand, but in his heart, he was confident enough, “In the past, the Purple Blood Softsword itself couldn’t harm a Saint realm powerhouse, not that the Purple Blood Softsword wasn’t sharp enough. Rather, my own fighting qi and strength were far from enough.”
The weapons of ordinary Saint realm powerhouses, in terms of sharpness alone, how could they compare to the Divine Artifact ‘Purple Blood Soft Sword’.
The sharpness of the Purple Blood Soft Sword, even without the use of fighting qi, based on the weapon itself. It can break the defense of a level seven magical beast. What weapon can match such a horrible sharpness?
And once it was combined with Saint Domain level fighting qi, its sharpness reached an astonishingly terrifying level.
“Then, let’s begin!”
McKensie’s body had endless battle intent, the strong wind in the sky blew his robes hunting, only to hear the sound of “snorting ~~”, McKensie’s body was gradually emerging from the flames, and the hand of the green fire lance was also emerging from the flames.
The whole person was completely enveloped in flames.
McKensie was completely covered in flames. Holding the lance in his hand, he stood in the air like a god of war.
“Dou Qi has actually reached this point.”
Linley’s eyes lit up.
“Boom~~” Linley’s entire body’s Dou Qi exploded as well, the greenish-black Dou Qi completely wrapping Linley up. It also flowed over the purple-blooded soft sword, the original green-black scale armor was then enveloped by this green-black fighting qi, Linley’s entire body was like a demon from hell.
The corner of McKensie’s mouth had a smile.
Suddenly – “Swoosh!”
Linley only saw a shadow, and McKensie cut through the air, his hand burning with flames as if he had locked down space. Carrying an endless pressure, he stabbed towards Linley.
At this moment, it was as if the entire world was left with only this lance.
“Clang!”
The purple demonic light easily cut through the locking of space, the tip of the sword directly clashing with the tip of the spear. Linley and MacKenzie’s furious fighting qi also collided through the weapons.
“Peng!”
Terrifying gas explosions erupted with the two of them at the center, the energy of the two Saint Realm powerhouses bursting out in all directions, even the boulders at the top of the Little Arakan Mountain below bursting apart from the fighting qi pouring into them.
The two separated at great speed.
“Eh?”
Linley glanced at McKensie in the distance, “His Dou Qi is still slightly stronger than mine.”
Dragonblood warrior talent was too strong, even for a dragonblood warrior at the beginning stage of the Saint realm, the concentration of fighting qi was only slightly if not a hair stronger than the middle stage of the Saint realm.
Of the four ultimate warriors, the Immortal Warrior’s defense was number one, the Tiger Stripe Warrior’s speed was number one, the Violet Flame Warrior’s recovery ability was number one, while the Dragon Blood Warrior’s attack was ranked number one on the ground.
This was no joke.
“Haha, it hurts, take another move from me.”
MacKenzie’s loud laughter rang out, while his entire body rushed towards Linley at extreme speed, and a single person unexpectedly transformed into three silhouettes.
“Comparing speeds?”
The corners of Linley’s mouth turned up slightly.
Linley’s body shifted, and surprisingly, he also manifested three silhouettes all at once to charge towards McKensie, a residual shadow created by high-speed movement.
“Drink!”
Originally elegantly, McKensie was berserk at this moment, the three figures suddenly turned into nine, and the posture of the lance in the hands of the nine silhouettes was completely different.
“Poof!”
The lances in the hands of the nine figures spun around, and in the end, they all stabbed at Linley.
In Linley’s eyes, there were originally only nine lances, but with that final arcane ‘spin’ of McKensie’s, the entire world in front of him was filled with countless lance shadows.
The countless gun shadows caused Linley to have nowhere to run.
“Haha~~~” Linley laughed loudly, at the same time the entire person transformed into a whirlwind, almost instantly Linley’s entire person was like a tornado, at the same time at the periphery of the tornado countless purple demonic rays of light flickered.
Countless gun shadows were blocked by countless purple rays.
McKensie was stunned.
“Whirlwind – Break!”
Linley bellowed, his entire body rushing towards McKensie like a cone. The purple-blooded soft sword in his hand instantly transformed into ten thousand longswords.
The long sword was light and airy, but when McKensie used his spear to parry it, he felt a sensation like lightning striking him.
It was as light as heavy!
“Pom!”
“Pong!”
“Pom!”
“Pom!” ……
Lei’s entire being transformed into a whirlwind, McKensie felt the winds of heaven and earth helping out, and the weirdest thing was that the longsword in Linley’s hand seemed to be able to disappear as if it were a whirlwind, and then suddenly appear again.
Continuously exchanging blows, McKensie was hard hit from the air to the ground.
“Peng!”
McKensie landed heavily on the ground, the earth cracked and smoke flew up. And the flames burning in McKensie’s whole body became hotter and hotter. The battle intent in his eyes became even more frenzied.
Linley also landed heavily on the ground, enveloped by the greenish-black fighting aura of Linley, in terms of aura with McKensie was completely two extremes. One arrogant, one mysterious.
McKensie looked down at his chest.
Blood bubbled up from his lapel before it was vaporized by the flames. However, the red-stained lapel still indicated that he had been injured.
“Linley, I still understand your terrestrial form, but I’m a little confused as to how your Purple Blood Excalibur fused with the wind to that point.”
MacKenzie was a very experienced Saint realm powerhouse.
The level of potential. It was with the help of the momentum of heaven and earth.
But drawing on it to the point where Linley was terrifying.
“The power of heaven and earth, the aid of which is certainly limited. As for being able to make you all defenseless.”
Linley smiled as he raised the purple blood soft sword, and then the purple blood soft sword strangely turned at will.
A sword that was hard and sharp enough. When it was refined, it was the requirement that it could not be bent.
“This, this is a soft sword?”
MacKenzie was astonished.
Just now, when Linley had exchanged blows, he had already caused the purple-blooded soft sword to bend, but under Linley’s use of ‘potential’, he had given McKenzie the impression that the purple-blooded soft sword had suddenly disappeared. But under Lin Lei’s use of ‘potential’, it gave McKenzie the feeling that the Purple Blood Soft Sword had suddenly disappeared, and then suddenly appeared from another direction.
This was the use of potential.
“Yes, it’s a soft sword.”
Linley said.
“But a soft sword, how can it clash with my green fire lance.”
McKenzie was astonished.
The reason why a soft sword could straighten up. It was relying on fighting qi infusion. And by relying on fighting qi infusion alone, how could it be as good as those weapons that were originally straight?
McKensie’s Green Fire Lance could be a very precious lance.
“It’s a divine weapon.”
Linley didn’t hide it.
“A divine weapon.”
McKensie nodded in surprise, then burst into laughter, “Good then. Linley, I’ll be preparing to perform my final move below, so be careful.”
“I still have one last move left to use as well.”
Linley was also very confident.
Both of them were on the ground at the moment. They were facing each other.
“Drink!”
McKensie’s entire body moved, while the lance in his hand was raised skyward, and instantly, with McKensie as the point of origin, endless waves of fire continued off in all directions.
Almost in the blink of an eye, a world of flames filled the area of several hundred meters.
Linley was enveloped in it, Linley’s dark golden pupils calmly looked at all this, in the midst of this flame world, in all directions was McKensie’s figure, all was that long spear.
Depressing!
It was as if the entire world was oppressing itself, and Linley had nowhere to draw upon.
“Rumble~~~” a blurry lance cut through the sky, stabbing straight towards Linley. At the same time, this lance was actually surrounded by a near-substantial fire dragon, and this crimson ground fire dragon roared at Linley.
And at the same time – behind Linley, MacKenzie bizarrely appeared, the lance in his hand also abruptly stabbing towards Linley.
One in front of the other, Linley had nowhere to hide.
“Windstorm Movement!”
Linley’s entire person moved, the purple-blooded soft sword in his hand transforming into countless poisonous snakes that crashed towards the shadows of the lance in all directions. Each impact had a sort of thunderous sound. The incredibly imposing fire dragon was simply entangled by a large number of giant pythons that were nearly as substantial, eventually bursting apart.
“Puff!”
The lance in the hands of McKensie’s essence stabbed at Linley from behind.
However, the purple-blooded soft sword turned as if it had a spirit and blocked the spear. With a flick of the curved purple-blooded soft sword, Linley’s entire body immediately distanced itself from McKensie.
“Peng!”
“Pom!”
“Pom!”
“Pom!” ……
McKensie was shocked to find that a gale had automatically arisen around Linley, and the purple-blooded soft sword in Linley’s hand was like a purple lightning whip transforming into a streak of lightning, and almost in the blink of an eye, his Flame World was broken.
Linley had locked onto McKensie.
“Hoo!”
“Hoo!”
“Hoo!” …… The purple blood soft sword in Linley’s hand disappeared for a moment, appeared for a moment, and in McKensie’s eyes, there were only countless sword tips stabbing at him.
It was too fast, so fast that even McKensie couldn’t block it, and he could only offer up his Dou Qi shield.
Countless sword tips stabbed on the fighting aura shield, each sword has a shocking power, only to hear an explosion, the fighting aura shield exploded and shattered, shaking the ground are trembling, the ground cracked out more than a dozen horrifyingly deep ditches, the smoke and dust also flew, after a long time, the smoke and dust only fell.
McKensie’s clothes were already in tatters.
McKensie glanced at Linley, smiled, and nodded, “I lost.”
Linley, however, looked at McKensie in confusion, “McKensie, how come the shadows of your flaming world’s shots just now were all imaginary? My sword tip broke through it so easily. If they were real, I would have lost.”
Linley’s realm was so high now that he could see that those gunshot shadows could be completely real. In other words, those countless gun shadows were real. It would be very difficult for him to resist. But just now, he had easily broken all the gunshot shadows.
“Haha, if all of them were real, then I would be the peak of the Holy Realm.”
McKensie laughed, “My current Flame World can only do so much.”
“Your windstorm movement, why is it so fast? It’s even more terrifying than just now at the beginning.”
MacKenzie said suspiciously.
Linley explained, “In the beginning, when I fought with you, I was only borrowing the wind’s momentum. And now, the wind and thunder movement is instead the wind axiom that I’ve comprehended. The sword has completely merged into the wind, and wherever there is wind, the sword is able to appear.”
Wind Thunder Movement was just fast, terrifyingly fast.
Linley had also created this terrifying move by utilizing the specialness of the Violet Blood Soft Sword itself. In a split second, it wasn’t difficult to produce ten million swords.
