Chapter 729: Chapter 720: White Tiger Sorcery VS Azure Dragon Sorcery
This shouldn’t be happening...
Chen Ying’s brows furrowed tightly when facing Zhou Yuntao, who had broken through her first layer of defense in an instant...
There were many magicians in Jiangnan skilled in wind technique; both Dean Chen and Murong Yunji were strong practitioners in this area, but Chen Ying had never encountered anyone who could use wind sorcery to sense direction before.
The more dispersed and chaotic the elemental energy, the harder it is to perceive; normally, it’s the solid, more stable substances that can have a certain level of perception grafted onto them, which is why techniques used for intelligence gathering are usually of the metallic kind. There are even some more special spiritual techniques, like the Thousand Eyes Technique used by Seventh Master Shen Qi.
However, all these detached techniques have something in common: they have a fixed form, and their quantity must not be too large.
If formless elemental techniques could be used for intelligence gathering, wouldn’t powerful wind sorcerers be able to monitor the entire world? After all, who could be wary of the circulation of air?
It is well-known that wind sorcery is not suited for long-range combat. Even a hint of toxin in the wind would slowly dissipate within a hundred meters and find it very difficult to maintain its form. A sorcerer’s spiritual power is also hard to sustain in a wind technique for too long, for wind has no shape, and clouds have no form— they are the most elusive. Once distant, they are extremely hard to control.
My spatial array, even with the distance added, could reach tens of thousands of fathoms. Moreover, it is folded and twisted, with hundreds and thousands of passages. If you don’t know the route in advance, just relying on some kind of energy to explore the specific location within my spatial array would require at least three hundred thousand fathoms. For someone to be able to use wind sorcery to probe the direction of a space of tens of thousands of fathoms is simply defying the conventional understanding of techniques.
Is this the White Tiger Sorcery?
Chen Ying recalled what Dean Chen had said...
The Four Saints’ techniques are exceptional existences that exceed normal techniques, and even transcend the conventional wisdom of top-level techniques like those of the Big Dipper and Earthly Fiends. Their limits are beyond the imagination of many people today. You think your Azure Dragon Sorcery pales in comparison to the heritage of the Dragon Palace because you haven’t truly learned it yet. The real Four Saints’ techniques are far more powerful than you can imagine.
Bang!
With a crisp fragmentation of space, one layer after another of distorted space, a figure finally broke through the twisted array and reached her.
Without the protection of space, Chen Ying saw the opponent’s true power— a tempest that filled the skies, like a storm of blades, overwhelming, like a natural disaster. If they had been back in the era before transcendents, based on this momentum, one person could have contended against a million soldiers. No wonder no one dared to attack Yundu in the past; a single legitimate descendent of the Zhou family had this capability. How terrifying must the actual power of the Heavenly Master Mansion be?
Chen Ying sighed, her hands forming seals. A blue light surged skyward, with a dragon’s roar that shook the heavens. In stark contrast to the terrestrial White Tiger, thunder roared in the clear sky, and dragon’s might surged. Beneath the earth, tiger’s roars resonated in all directions, the fearsome evil aura as if to tear apart that patch of blue sky. Such an exaggerated spectacle immediately caused an outcry among the common people outside the palace gates. Having watched for so long, this was perhaps the most momentous battle they had seen.
The magicians in Zhenghe Hall watched unblinkingly, the entire great hall eerily quiet, almost all holding their breath as they watched.
Many clan elders had seen the Four Saints’ sorcerers in action, hadn’t Fei Family’s that one inherited the so-called Vermilion Bird Sorcery?
After the advent of the transcendent era, in fact, many people no longer regarded these so-called Four Saints’ techniques as particularly important, yet they didn’t expect that after transcendence, these Four Saints’ techniques could wield such terrifying power.
"Have you finally deigned to use it?" Zhou Yuntao, looking at the dragon’s might in the sky, saw a flicker of excitement in his eyes. Indeed, this woman had also grasped the second layer of the Four Saints’ techniques!
In Yundu, even within the Zhou family, only he knew that the Four Saints’ techniques reached a true level of mastery at the second layer. For tens of thousands of years, his Zhou family had not even begun; otherwise, as a household of the White Tiger Sorcery, how could they be ranked below the Five Color families?
He was one of only two in the history of the Zhou family to grasp the essence of the White Tiger Sorcery, and that’s why he could defeat the people of the Five Color families.
"And here I thought Dean Chen would stubbornly stick to the end, planning to contest victory or defeat with me through those arrays of yours."
Above the sky, Chen Ying looked coldly at her opponent and then let out a cold laugh, "That’s exactly what I think."
With a gesture of her hands, she conjured dense azure runes that covered nearly the entire vast space of the competition arena.
Zhou Yuntao was stunned. When had the opponent set up such an extensive array on the ground?
That’s right, during the past half-hour while he was leisurely roaming around in the opponent’s spatial array, had she taken that time to set up such a deadly trap?
"Using an array to counter you is not arrogance on my part, but simply because this is what I’m best at. You keep saying you want to witness my Azure Dragon Sorcery, but in fact, from the very start, you haven’t taken this duel seriously. If anyone’s arrogant, it’s you, Master Yuntao," Chen Ying’s cold voice caused Zhou Yuntao’s expression to stiffen below.
Azure Dragon’s Four Forms. Myriad Vibes of Senluo!
The dragon’s roar echoed from high above to below, the ground responded with countless flashes of azure light, and in the next instant, myriad towering trees shot up into the sky. In the span of a breath, the whole space was enveloped by these enormous trees, turning the landscape that once resembled a town into a forested land in an instant.
This ability to change the landscape at will amazed the laypeople, while the seasoned magicians inside Zhenghe Hall were filled with disbelief!
Each space in that trial was as large as a county town, and she flipped the environment of a county town upside down in an instant; such skill could hardly be described merely as that of a magician, but rather like that of the immortals talked about by storytellers.
Zhou Yuntao frowned as he observed his surroundings; indeed, such power was terrifying. The Four Saints each had two attributes; Black Tortoise was associated with water and skilled in the art of earth and rocks, White Tiger was associated with metal yet adept in wind technique, and the same was true for Azure Dragon, who represented wood but was also proficient in thunder!
In this space, the opponent was actually at a disadvantage, because wind was omnipresent, but wood and thunder were not so readily usable.
He hadn’t expected that the opponent would use an array to change the terrain in advance...
With this thought in mind, Zhou Yuntao gave a solemn bow, "Dean Chen is right, indeed I have been negligent and complacent."
While he was leisurely enjoying his half-hour, the opponent had been busy setting up. He had thought the opponent didn’t take him seriously, but in fact, it was the other way around...
He felt the surrounding area, and the towering trees were breathing rapidly, seemingly about to suck all the air around them dry, which immediately led him to recognize the origin of these trees.
Void Mulberry Tree!
"It’s actually the Void Mulberry Tree!" Chen Baifeng of Zhenghe Hall also recognized it, his face full of shock.
The Void Mulberry Tree, a legendary divine tree, grows with the wind and can bridge the heavens!
This kind of thing only exists in the ancient records, so it was unimaginable it really existed in the world. Could this be unique to the Azure Dragon Technique from the beginning?
Chen Qing looked at the continuously growing skyscraping trees and smiled faintly. Each of the Four Saints’ techniques had aspects of life and death. For instance, Black Tortoise attributed the earth to life, Mystic Water to death and their cyclic interchange allowed life to flourish incessantly. Azure Dragon was the same; Void Mulberry Trees grew with the wind, could cover the sky, absorb all resources under heaven, and enhance themselves – they were immensely dangerous. But if allowed to expand unchecked, they would attract thunderous retribution. As the saying goes, ’when a whale falls, all beings thrive’, for when a Void Mulberry Tree collapses, the energy dispersed into the world becomes the nourishment for the revival of all things.
Such things were particularly restraining against White Tiger because White Tiger’s Wind Technique always required the presence of air, yet the Void Mulberry Tree could suck the airflow dry in a single breath...
Zhou Yuntao immediately felt this point, being in the middle of it; the air around him was rapidly disappearing. If he did not act soon, in at most ten breaths, the airflow in the entire space would be completely drained, and without the opponent needing to do anything, he himself would suffocate to death!
