Martial Arrogance Dragon Soul-Chapter 237 - 226: The Third Step - Sky Stepping

Too fast!

The speed of Lu Yuming was simply too fast!

Moreover, his attacks were exceedingly strange.

Darkness and flame fused together.

Ghosts and fierceness intertwined!

It was truly impossible to guard against.

Subconsciously, Qin Qing swept his spear backwards.

"Ding!"

A clear sound of metal clashing rang out.

Qin Qing was sent flying forward from the shock.

When he landed, he slapped the ground with his palm, using the rebound force to leap up again.

But then—

"Wow!"

Qin Qing’s chest heaved, and unable to hold it back any longer, a mouthful of fresh blood sprayed out!

"Such formidable strength!"

"And the speed is so fast?"

Qin Qing was shocked in his heart.

The battle had reached such an extent, completely beyond Qin Qing’s expectations.

Likewise, very few among those watching the battle had anticipated that the fight between these two would escalate to an even more fierce level.

This was simply a climax building upon another climax.

As for Lu Yu’an, seeing the situation turning once again, with victory leaning towards Lu Yuming’s side, he who had just stood up finally spread his arms and sat back down again.

"Young Master, there’s no need to worry. The second young master has plenty of ace moves up his sleeve, far beyond what that Qin Qing can compare with."

Behind Lu Yu’an, a follower whispered softly.

"That’s true," Sikong Tu also said, "Young Master Yu’an, this time Young Master Yuming has completely suppressed Qin Qing. There should be no doubt about the outcome this time."

All the onlookers felt as if they were right there in the thick of it, projecting themselves into the fighters’ point of view on the stage.

It was as though they were transforming into one of the combatants atop the stage, battling the other.

Similarly, their emotions seemed to fluctuate along with the changing tide of the battle above.

And at this moment, Lu Yuming had completely taken control of the situation on the battle stage.

He seemed to transform into a dark demon lord, his entire body engulfed in endless black flames burning fiercely.

The black great spear in his hands was also resonating with the Martial Soul in the void above, infused with powerful Soul Power.

"Is this... could it be the legendary ultimate technique of the Lu Family that’s infinitely close to a Heaven Level Cultivation Technique, the ’Black Sun Spear Technique’? "

Someone exclaimed with shock.

"Indeed! With the Black Sun in the sky, not a sliver of light exists, that’s the ’Black Sun Spear Technique’!"

"It’s said that the ’Black Sun Spear Technique’ was obtained by the Lu Family from a Martial Saint of an Ancient Country, becoming the Lu Family’s most powerful technique. But only those who are in the Nascent Soul Realm or above can execute it."

"But this Lu Yuming, who is only at the First Level of the Golden Core Realm and just entered the Golden Core, can actually perform the Black Sun Spear Technique?"

"It might have something to do with his Martial Soul. His Martial Soul is a black great spear, not only a spear Martial Soul but also contains dark attributes. The ’Black Sun Spear Technique’ is supposedly a spear technique with dark attributes as well. It fits him perfectly."

"That must be it. And there’s another thing... Lu Yuming has integrated a Spirit Talisman. It’s with the power of the Spirit Talisman that he’s able to perform the ’Black Sun Spear Technique’!"

...

Lu Yuming once again took the initiative on the field, or to be more precise, he had complete control over the situation.

Enveloped by the Black Sun Spear Technique, the whole fight seemed to be shrouded in darkness.

And in that darkness, Lu Yuming’s speed and strength were both significantly enhanced!

Qin Qing could only continuously defend passively.

"Boom!"

Lu Yuming launched another powerful chop, slashing down fiercely.

Qin Qing held the Azure Dragon Spear horizontally with both hands, blocking Lu Yuming’s chop.

But the savage power pushed him back once again.

"Cough cough!"

Qin Qing started coughing up large mouthfuls of blood.

While continuously defending, Qin Qing was also using the Sky-splitting Step Technique to dodge Lu Yuming’s attacks.

"Swish swish!"

Qin Qing moved rapidly in succession, the Sky-splitting Step Technique reaching its limit!

"It’s a good thing I chose to cultivate the Sky-splitting Step Technique some time ago. Without this movement technique, I wouldn’t have lasted so long and would have already been defeated by Lu Yuming!"

Qin Qing was very clear about his current situation.

His position could be described as extremely dangerous.

He could be defeated by Lu Yuming at any moment.

And there was only one possible outcome to failure, and that was death!

Qin Qing did not want to die!

Now, he could only keep dodging, constantly evading Lu Tianming’s violent assault, which was like a raging torrent.

Everyone’s heart was lifted.

The battle seemed it could end at any moment.

At this moment, Lu Yu’an had a smile on his face, his eyes showing satisfaction as he looked at his younger brother Lu Yuming.

Indeed, Lu Yuming’s talent was terrifying, perhaps even stronger than Lu Yu’an himself!

This battle was destined to make Lu Yuming famous in one fight.

This is what a true genius looks like. Before this, there had been the so-called most dazzling geniuses of Luochuan like Shangguan Feixing, Guan Yun, and Guan Changtian.

But only after witnessing Lu Yuming’s talent did people realize those so-called geniuses like Shangguan Feixing and Guan Yun were nothing but a joke.

Of course, this was also the foundation of the ancient Lu Family.

Families like the Guan Clan and Shangguan Clan, even though they are now among the top clans in Luochuan.

However, when compared to the Lu Family, these clans still lack depth.

The Lu Family could even contend with the current Royal Family.

"Boom!"

A sudden thunderous sound came from the stage.

Qin Qing’s Azure Dragon Spear was shockingly knocked out of his hands.

"This is the end!"

Lu Yuming’s chilling voice came through.

He thrust out with his spear once again!

"Black Sun Spear Technique!"

A black sun rose into the sky.

In an instant, the entire fighting platform was enveloped in black light.

And in Qin Qing’s eyes, the whole world was left with nothing but endless darkness.

Black spear light, blotting out the sky and covering the earth; everywhere you looked, it seemed as if each streak of black light were a spear thrust.

There was no evading it, no way to evade!

The aura of death was everywhere, shrouding Qin Qing!

"Am I going to be defeated?"

"Lose to Lu Yuming?"

"Defeat means death!"

"Am I going to die here?"

In Qin Qing’s heart, there was a profound unwillingness.

He didn’t want to die!

In his mind, suddenly, various scenes emerged.

His father tending to the Underground Furnace, his senior sister Jiang Ruorong looking at him expectantly, his sister suffering the torments of a chronic heat illness, and the scenes of joy with his parents around him when he was young.

"No!"

"I can’t die!"

Qin Qing screamed in his heart.

"My father is still waiting for me to save him!"

"My sister’s inborn stubborn illness still needs me to find a cure!"

"And... my senior sister, she’s waiting for me too!"

"I can’t die! Absolutely not!"

Qin Qing clenched his fists tightly, his palms instantly sweating profusely.

And in that instant, an enlightenment was born in Qin Qing’s mind.

Yes, an enlightenment.

Like a ray of light, this enlightenment was suddenly born amidst the endless darkness.

It was the first light of hope!

Sky-splitting Step Technique, third step!

In that instant, Qin Qing truly mastered the third step.

Before this, the Sky-splitting Step Technique that Qin Qing truly understood consisted only of the first two of the nine steps.

But now, the third step clearly appeared in Qin Qing’s mind.

Sky-splitting Step Technique, first step—Wind Rising!

Moving fast as wind, swift as lightning.

Second step—Cloud Movement!

Illusory and elusive, like clouds and fog!

Third step—Sky Stepping.

As if heavenly stairs appeared, stepping across the emptiness!

Qin Qing’s eyes flickered, and he took a step.

Beneath his feet, it was as though a staircase of colors appeared.

The illusory and elusive staircase, emitting colorful radiant light, glowing strand by strand, cascading down, unexpectedly tearing through the surrounding darkness and void completely.

Qin Qing ascended the staircase, stepping against the heavens, walking out from the darkness!

All illusions shattered.

The tip of Lu Yuming’s spear grazed past Qin Qing’s face.

But at the same time, Qin Qing struck back with the palm of his hand.

"Tablet Splitting Palm!"

This palm landed heavily on Lu Yuming’s back!

"Bang!"

Lu Yuming was sent flying, crashing hard onto the ground, while the sound of breaking bones resonated...
