Chapter 168: Chapter 168 – Foundation Establishment vs Nascent Soul

CLANK!!!

A thunderous impact shook the surroundings, clearing the sky by erasing the clouds and even slightly destroying some nearby buildings.

Qu Peing managed to defend himself quickly, blocking the cut with his own sword. However, he still retreated a few meters from the impact.

"How can this be possible...?" Qu Peing muttered in astonishment as he felt the young man's power increase in front of him.

This power is almost equal to that of the Nascent Soul Stage!

Qu Peing felt that this was strange, especially he felt something strange in the Ling Tian's cultivation essence that made him stronger, but he didn't know what that was.

He was sure that this young man was in the Foundation Establishment stage.

Then how could this young man have a strength that rivaled his own?!

Swoosh!

Ling Tian appeared in front of Qu Peing again, throwing a diagonal cut in his direction.

CLANK!

Qu Peing successfully defended himself from the attack, managing to heavily sustain the impact without flying away.

"Damn you! How can you have so much power?! You are only one stage of the Foundation Establishment!" Qu Peing shouted with hatred at the sight of Ling Tian. This young man had the strength and power equivalent to the Nascent Soul realm despite being in the Foundation Establishment stage.

"Hmph!" Ling Tian snorted and disappeared from the front, appearing behind Qu Peing and swinging his sword again.

Fwoosh

Qu Peing moved several metres away at once, able to dodge Ling Tian's attack.

'What is this strange power coming from this young man? Where have I felt it before?' Qu Peing thought as he felt something strange in the cultivation essence of the young man in front of him. He was sure that this was what increased the power in Ling Tian.

Ling Tian smiled mockingly at Qu Peing, making the latter even angrier.

"God..."

"Now it looks like they're paired up."

"Then there's still hope for Lord Ling to win!"

Watching the thunderous and amazing battle between the skies, everyone was stunned but happy to see that Ling Tian had a chance to win.

"It's amazing that even though they're in the sky, the shock waves of the fight reach this far." Yun Dong turned to look at the ice that covered them like a carcass and the buildings that were closest to the city centre.

The shock waves as the swords collided even reached the buildings, destroying them, as well as the ice that protected them. No doubt those impacts could even hurt them if it were not for the ice sheet that Yun Mengxin made.

Qu Peing watched Ling Tian, and out of the corner of his eye, he realized that the young man in front of him was always in front of the group of people inside the ice protection.

Qu Peing smiled wickedly as he lunged at Ling Tian once more.

CLANG!

A clash of blades was clearly heard again, but this time, right near the ice protection.

"What!"

"Are those two swords?!"

CLANG!

Instantly, everyone realized that there were two swords flying near them like specks in the air. Rather, it seemed that one sword was trying to point at them while the other sword repelled its attacks by preventing it from breaking the ice.

"Tch!" Qu Peing was upset when he saw that his plan failed. He had planned to kill these people, as he realized that these people must be important to the young man. Qu Peing had planned to quietly send another sword to the others, while trying to distract the young man.

"Did you think I wouldn't realize what you wanted to do?" Ling Tian watched Qu Peing angrily. He had always been on the alert for anything, so he had hidden another sword near Yun Mengxin and the others. Besides, he never separated from them, as he didn't know if the other cultivators who fell with Qu Peing in this world were still alive and near.

The moment he felt a ripple of energy near Yun Mengxin, Ling Tian knew instantly what the man wanted to do, so he quickly defended them by using the sword he had left behind.

"It seems you have good things with you! Once I kill you, I will get good things!" Qu Peing shouted with euphoria when he realized that Ling Tian's other sword was also of good quality, since his own sword was being easily suppressed.

Joy filled his being when he thought it might be another immortal sword!

Qu Peing threw himself at Ling Tian once more, increasing his attack speed and strength. He could not let the battle drag on.

CLANG!

Ling Tian defended with his own sword as he frowned. Qu Peing was increasing his strength despite his injury, so he must surely be forcing his wounds to worsen at the cost of finishing this.

Clang!

Clang!

Clang!

The figures of Ling Tian and Qu Peing turned ethereal as their eyes could not follow the true speed at which they were fighting, leaving only residual shadows across the sky.

The other two swords near the ice walls continued to attack one another, one seeking the opportunity to break the ice and injure someone nearby, while the other sword successfully defended every move and attack it received.

'Shit! At this rate the battle will go on longer! I can only control one sword for now while I focus on killing this guy!' Qu Peing cried out inside when his efforts were still not producing results as he could not kill this young man: 'If I use a technique, my wounds will get worse and it will be worse than before! But if I don't, the battle will be longer and it will be the same result... I only hope that this kid's ring has several spiritual pills or a wonderful medicine...'

CLANG!

Ling Tian and Qu Peing separated in the air more than 10 meters away from each other.

"Kid! Now you've pissed off this great elder! Rejoice at being killed by my secret technique!" Qu Peing shouted angrily at Ling Tian, raising his hand and attracting the other sword that continued to attack the ice cover unsuccessfully.

The other sword came quickly and 'merged' with the sword Qu Peing was holding.

Ling Tian narrowed his eyes as he saw the drastic increase in Qu Peing's aura: 'It looks like this man is going to take a chance... he must be desperate to use one of his techniques, as this would certainly seriously affect his injuries.'

Ling Tian knew that Qu Peing was very injured, and that his wounds would have to be very deep, to the point that the vitality of his body was extremely consumed, so it is almost impossible for him to recover normally.

BOOM!

Qu Peing's explosive surge rampaged all around, sweeping away the few remaining clouds and completely destroying the nearby buildings.

The point of the sword in Qu Peing's hand began to form a small swirl, while small wind blades seemed to grow from the remaining blade and revolve around the entire sword.

"DIE!"

Qu Peing grabbed the sword tightly as he headed towards Ling Tian, slightly distorting the wind and space around it.
