A person in Japan, a sword that soars to immortality.

Chapter 109 An Unexpected Meeting

If before Taiichi controlled his power, now power controls him.

There was no pain, no fear, and no fatigue.

There was only endless anger, resentment, and killing.

Just as Taiyi transformed into Asura, a consciousness that did not belong to him suddenly entered his mind.

"These are... various ultimate slashing techniques?"

After a moment of stunned silence, Taiyi immediately raised his eyebrows, grinned maliciously, and reached into the seawater.

After gripping the sword in his hand, he immediately sheathed it and then leaped forward, charging towards Lian with lightning speed.

click!

The moment Futsu-no-Mitama was drawn, the space-time between him and Ren seemed to freeze. The speed at which the sword was drawn was as if in slow motion, and the two of them, one above and one below, silently looked at each other.

【Three Qi Circulating Through Heaven, Karmic Fire, One Mind】

Like a movie playing at 0.01x speed, it suddenly returned to normal.

All I saw was Taiichi draw his sword and then sheath it.

"You are... um!!!"

Lian sensed that the other person's sword was swung out when it was still a few meters away from her, but it was withdrawn before it could touch her.

While wondering what was going on, he wanted to mock Taiyi, but then countless sword energies appeared in front of him as if they had appeared out of thin air.

Staring intently at her opponent, Lian, unable to react in time, allowed the sword energy to sweep across her body, cutting her into pieces.

But just as the limbs and head separated from the body, dozens of tiny vines shot out from the break and pulled all the flying parts back!

"Disgusting rebirth!"

Taiyi's left cheek muscles clenched into a knot, and his fighting spirit made the surrounding air rise.

Without giving the opponent a chance to breathe, black and gray currents of energy appeared from the void and quickly gathered on Futsu-no-Mitama. Then, with a sweeping motion, it swiftly unleashed a double slash.

【Three Qi Circulating Through the Heavens - Karmic Fire - Dragon Flash】

Whew! Whew!

The massive sword energy pushed aside all the air in its path, creating a vacuum slash.

"The aura of the Yellow Springs in this world?"

With a raised eyebrow, Lian was slightly surprised by Taiyi's attack power attribute.

Just now it was the same Yang energy as itself, but now it has changed to the Yin energy.

Even though he hasn't reached the stage of refining the spirit and returning to emptiness, he can switch between two completely opposite powers at will. It's unbelievable!

"Is it because of that prosthetic hand?"

With a guess in mind, Lian raised her right hand, palm down, fingers slightly bent, and two balls of true energy instantly condensed in front of her palm, then flicked her fingers.

Whoosh!

boom!

The collision of Yin and Yang unleashed an even more violent explosion than before, and the resulting shockwaves pushed Taiyi and Lian backward.

Watching the heart-stopping battle between the two from afar, Zhu Jin was deeply shocked and also remembered what Taiyi had once said.

"I've never seen Lian's techniques before, this kind of use of qi..."

"Are we really just tools?"

Before she could think any further, Taiyi unleashed another deadly attack, its power so fierce that Zhu Jin couldn't help but feel a pang of worry for Lian.

Taiyi also hovered in the air, his eyes shooting out white light, while thick dark clouds covered the sky.

Boom!

Countless bolts of lightning, some thick and some thin, struck the ground from the sky.

"As expected, after Yin and Yang are united, the power of true energy increases by more than just a little bit!"

Looking at Lian, who still appeared calm, he knew that despite the ferocity of her attack, it hadn't caused any real damage to her.

Not to mention, this is just a puppet controlled by Lian.

"Therefore, relying solely on attacks with true qi, I might not even be able to retreat, let alone win."

"But what I know isn't just ranged attacks!"

hiss! ! ! !

Boom! ! !

Taiyi was prepared to fight desperately this time, sacrificing 100 fixed attribute points to combine with the Yin energy stored in the prosthetic hand, first returning to the innate state, and then transforming into the metal energy.

He then took a deep breath and held it in his mouth. At that very moment, a thunderclap suddenly resounded throughout the sky.

The lungs are throbbing with thunderous sound!

【Three Qi Traverse the Heavens - Metal - Ten Thousand Thunders Guide the Heavens】

The scattered lightning, as if guided, all condensed on Taiyi's body, instantly transforming him into a spherical energy ball enveloped in lightning plasma.

"Lian, do you dare to face my next attack head-on?"

Taiyi roared from within the thunderous magma.

"Heh." Lian narrowed her eyes, shook her head speechlessly, and said with a cold laugh, "What's there to be afraid of? Come quickly!"

The instant she finished speaking, Taiichi also unleashed his own attack.

Although it doesn't reach the speed of light, it far exceeds the reaction speed of eye-tracking.

As if teleporting, Taiyi transformed into lightning, and with the added speed from the system's attributes, he carried an aura of annihilation, unleashing boundless killing intent, and charged fiercely towards Lian.

Lotus's true energy kept striking along the way, but it was like pebbles falling into a lake, only splashing ripples on the surface of the thunderous liquid.

Despite the attacks, the distance between the two finally shrank to less than a meter.

"You think this kind of attack will be effective?"

"Immortal Technique - Noon Position, Breath Dissipates."

Call ~

It was as if all the spiritual energy in the world, including Taiyi's true energy, had vanished completely under the lotus's attack.

He had hoped to see the other's surprised expression, but instead, Taiyi emerged from the lightning plasma with a sinister grin, brandishing his sword to stab.

"What I want is to fight you in close combat!"

"what!"

The true energy was scattered, but the physical strength remained.

With a flash of cold light, Lian's head was instantly split in two, starting from her nose.

But the next second, the severed part will immediately heal, only for it to heal in one place and then be severed in another.

"Human! You have angered me!"

Bang!

As their fists met, the air was instantly forced outwards, forming a circle of airflow that spread rapidly in all directions.

Although Taiyi's four fingers were twisted, Lian's fist and wrist were smashed to pieces.

"Just as I thought! You may consume a lot of Qi, but you don't know the wonders of physical refinement!!! Hahahaha! Die!"

With boundless madness in his eyes, Taiyi laughed loudly and pressed forward again, slashing and thrusting with his sword while simultaneously unleashing a flurry of punches with his other hand.

In the original work, when Ren fought against Huameimaru and others, he was not unscathed and was hit and slashed many times.

Meanwhile, when other celestial beings fight against the main characters, their bodies can also be damaged.

This situation arises because the celestial beings are unaware of the wonders of the Five Elements Converging to the Origin and the Sun Refining Form, and have failed to forge their bodies into the strongest possible form.

The method of cultivating qi during the Qin Dynasty involved first accumulating qi continuously, then using the qi to nourish the spirit and soul, until the primordial spirit was refined.

However, by the Tang Dynasty, this method was no longer applicable, possibly due to the reduction of spiritual energy in the world. Furthermore, the method of spiritual ascension and corpse liberation was a helpless act due to incomplete cultivation but still the desire to ascend.

"Crush me into dust!"

Bang bang bang!

Fists clashed, sword light flashed everywhere.

Taiyi's body also began to break down, but he restored it again by burning his essence.

Lian, on the other hand, fared much worse. Her body was constantly being shattered, and she could only expend more true energy to regenerate it.

Compared to the long-range exchange of powerful attacks just now, the close-quarters combat now seems even more brutal.

Blood and bits of flesh flew everywhere. Often, a single sword strike or punch would leave wounds on the opponent's body, but the opponent would also strike, causing the skin to ripple like water.

"Enough! This pointless fighting should stop!"

Lotus was suppressed and had no choice, because she had to constantly recover and fight off enemies, which caused her true energy to flow incoherently.

The moment Lian immediately activated her immortal technique, she forced her true energy to burst outward from her body and repelled Taiyi.

【Celestial Technique - Geng Position: Instant】

puff!

"Human, let's see how you circulate your vital energy this time!"

Aiming at Taiyi's heart, Lian threw a powerful punch, piercing through him and her fist emerging from his back.

Thinking the other party would despair, Taiyi, with blood trickling from the corner of his mouth, grabbed Lian's arm with a sinister grin and laughed maniacally:

"This is the blow we've been waiting for!"

"In the path of Qi Refining, I am but a junior. It would be inappropriate to start a life-or-death struggle on our first meeting."

"So, here's a...gift for you!"

Ok?

She tried to pull her hand back, but found that Taiyi's hand was holding it tightly, making her unable to move.

At that very moment, a flash of red light appeared where the two were joined, and Lian immediately sensed a power not only entering her body but also invading her soul!

"What did you do!"

He yanked hard, breaking the arm, and as he stepped back, he looked at Taiyi with a mixture of surprise and uncertainty in his eyes.

"What are you doing? Didn't I say I'd give you a present?"

"Have you heard of the power of the Dragon's Blood? It's something that others would rather beg for than obtain!"

"Sakura Dragon, come out!"

"Let me introduce you to another person from my hometown!"

hum...

In Lian's eyes, the space instantly changed, and when she came to her senses, she found that the surrounding environment was no longer Paradise Island.

Looking up again, he immediately realized that his soul had been pulled into a space filled with clouds and mist, with a bright moon hanging high above and a huge cherry blossom tree standing in front of him!

What shocked her even more was that a colossal Eastern dragon was slowly rising from the cherry tree, its eyes widening instantly as it stared at her in a daze, saying:

"This is... a Qi Refiner?!"

"This is... an Yinglong?!"

Lian was stunned for a moment, feeling that what she saw was too incredible.
