Chapter 755: Five-Star High-Grade Dao Pattern
Translator: Atlas Studios Editor: Atlas Studios
“Such powerful dao pattern attack!”
There was a cry of surprise that came from the room. Jiang Yi walked out from the room as he was woken up by the prowess that came from the blade when the green-haired youth cleaved.
He sat beside Feng Luan and Qing Yu before closing his eyes to enter the Union of Heaven and Man state. He then sensed the situation outside carefully and discovered that the youth was flying rapidly across the sea like a sword and chasing after the thunderbolts. He would constantly cleave and shatter the thunderbolts, which caused Jiang Yi’s soul spirit to get a jolt each time.
“28 years old and actually reaching middle-stage Heaven Monarch? If this youth isn’t a young master from the 13 Clans, then he must be an exceptional prodigy.”
Jiang Yi sighed silently. If someone dared to travel across the Gods Bestow Sea alone and was even chasing after the thunderbolts, he would either be a maniac or someone with a strong backer.
Boom! Boom! Boom!
As the thunderbolts were rapidly shooting towards the east, that youth also flew along this direction. Just as there was a gap of ten miles from the Heaven Fate Ship, the green-haired youth suddenly paused in mid-air and brandished his battle saber. He pointed at the Heaven Fate Ship and said, “Everyone on the ship, listen up. All of you will hand over one million celestial stones each as a toll. Otherwise, I will kill without negotiation.”
Clang!
There was a huge uproar on the ship. Could this person truly be a maniac? He actually dared to intercept this ship with just his strength? It was a known fact that there were experts among the customers on the Heaven Fate Ship, and there were even 500 middle-stage Heaven Monarchs from the Green Bird Merchant Association. There was even a peak-stage Heaven Monarch overseeing the ship.
“You must be tired of living!”
Countless guards were all enraged as their aura presences rose up. All their various weapons and artifacts had appeared, and they were prepared to make their move to kill this person.
“Stop!”
An aged and forceful shout echoed as an elder flew out from the no.2 hold of the ship like an eagle. He had eyes of the eagle, a hooked nose, and a single glance was enough to determine that he was a formidable expert. This person’s aura presence was like a mountain and extremely thick and dense. There were plenty of people on the deck who took a glance at him and immediately lowered their heads. All the guards bowed with cupped hands and greeted, “Greetings to Lord Qing Long.”
The elder ignored the guards and broke through the barrier on the Heaven Fate Ship easily. He stood in mid-air and spoke with cupped hands towards the green-haired youth. “I am Green Bird Merchant Association’s Elder, Qing Long. Greetings to Young Master Huangfu.”
“Huangfu?”
There were plenty of martial artists and guards whose mouth twitched as this clan name was filled with martial prowess in the Gods Bestow Tribe. As the Huangfu Clan was one of the 13 Clans and also one of the four major clans that controlled the Gods Bestow Island. If Qing Long was so polite towards this youth, it meant that this green-haired youth was a true young master of the Huangfu Clan!
The young master of the Huangfu Clan was actually robbing them?
Majority of the people were stunned as well. Putting aside the countless connections that the Green Bird Merchant Association had with the four major clans—even if the connections didn’t exist, would the Young Master of the Huangfu Clan actually be lacking celestial stones? If this incident of him intercepting and robbing a merchant ship was to spread out, it would definitely defame the Huangfu Clan.
“Hmph!”
The green-haired youth let out a cold snort and said, “I am indeed Huangfu Taotian, but I am not a Young Master. I am no longer related to the Huangfu Clan and am a mountain bandit now! I have heard of your Green Bird Merchant Association, but… I am not familiar with you. Are you going to hand over the celestial stones or not?”
“Uh?”
Everyone was flabbergasted. It seemed like he was a traitorous son and probably left the clan due to some conflicts; he was even a mountain bandit now. Despite the case, no one treated him as a mountain bandit, and if anyone dared to kill him, they would definitely be chased down by the Huangfu Clan.
Qing Long was helpless. He let out a light sigh and said, “Young Master Huangfu. This old one has some friendly relations with your father. Would you be able to give this old one some face?”
Huangfu Taotian sneered and said, “You having relations with him is your business. We do not have any relations, and I will not be giving you any face. Everything shall be negotiated with the blade in the hand. If you can win over me, I will leave without saying anything.”
“Arrogant…”
Many guards were sneering silently as Qing Long had been renowned for many years. Although this Huangfu Taotian looked to be rather competent in strength, a single move from Qing Long would probably be enough to eliminate him.
Qing Long shook his head and laughed bitterly. He then nodded his head helplessly and said, “Alright then. Since Young Master Huangfu wants to play, this old one shall play along with you. Let’s fight over there.”
Swish!
Qing Long’s body drew across the sky and to a higher altitude while Huangfu Taotian didn’t show any weakness and chased after closely. There were plenty of people on the deck that had gotten excited as it was a good chance for them to witness such high-level combat. Most importantly, they were able to see how the young master from the Huangfu Clan would be humiliated which greatly delighted them.
“The battle is starting!”
Jiang Yi had also extended his divine senses with excitement as he locked the divine senses onto the two figures. There were no longer any thunderbolts on this side. Although there was still a violent storm—without any thunderbolts, he didn’t have to worry about his divine senses getting eliminated.
Chi! Chi!
The duo was 30 miles high up in the sky. Huangfu Taotian was the first to make a move as he cleaved with the snow-white silver dragon saber abruptly. The surround spatial zone shivered, causing all the raindrops to be turned into mist. A thunder dragon whizzed out from the saber like a divine dragon spiraling in the sky which instantly caught up to Qing Long who was still flying higher.
“Hmph!”
Qing Long let out a grunt while his divine shield radiated outside his body. He then made a palm strike which sent a giant pitch-black palm print pressing down. It neutralized the thunder dragon effortlessly while continuing its path with a thunderous noise towards Huangfu Taotian.
“Nine Heavens’ Breaking Thunder!”
Huangfu Taotian actually didn’t activate his divine shield? Instead, he cleaved dozens of blade again, each radiating with saber light. Thunder dragons coiled together and whizzed upwards, covering the sky with thunderbolt shadow. A destructive aura presence enveloped the surroundings which caused everyone on the deck to feel a choking sensation.
“Young Master Huangfu’s Power of Thunder dao pattern is used brilliantly. Not right… this isn’t entirely the Power of Thunder, there is also the Power of Destruction and another type of dao pattern. This is a middle-grade dao pattern.”
Inside the hold of the ship, Jiang Yi’s soul spirit shivered as he felt several dao patterns from a single move executed by Huangfu Taotian. Furthermore, there were two abnormally familiar dao patterns—the Power of Thunder and Power of Destruction—which he had previously comprehended.
His mind revolved rapidly as he sensed Huangfu Taotian’s attack in detail and carried out his deduction and verification. He wanted to see if he could fuse his own Power of Thunder and Destruction dao patterns together.
Boom!
The spatial zone shook as over a dozen coiled up thunder dragons shattered the giant black palm effortlessly. A horrific aftershock extended out which even jolted the giant Heaven Fate Ship.
“Not bad!”
Qing Long nodded slightly and released another palm strike with a gentle flip of his hand. This time, the black palm print actually had golden flames radiating. The prowess was instantly increased by several folds together with a horrific heat wave. All the Vajra Realm martial artists were feeling rather uncomfortable from the stifling heat.
“This palm print is also a middle-grade dao pattern, and the Power of Destruction and Fire are inside of it! That’s right… there is even the Power of Metal! This fusion is so ingenious and so mystical.”
Jiang Yi, who was inside the hold of the ship, had suddenly exclaimed, frightening Feng Luan and Qing Yu who were observing the battle. The two of them swept a glance at Jiang Yi and saw that his eyes were actually wide open but was filled with bewilderment and doubts. He was no longer paying attention to the battle on the outside.
Just as Qing Yu wanted to ask something, Feng Luan quickly sent a transmitted message: “Don’t disturb Young Master. He might be comprehending something.”
Bang!
Huangfu Taotian couldn’t withstand anymore and activated his divine shield, but his body was slammed into the sea. The seawater drastically shook while gushing out with a tsunami-like wave in all directions.
Swish!
Huangfu Taotian burst out of the seawater while traces of blood at the corner of his mouth. His green hair was fluttering as he burst out with a yell, “Not bad. Old man Qing Long, your combat strength is indeed powerful. If you are able to receive my next move, I will let all of you go.”
As he spoke, his battle saber radiated with brilliance while there was a sudden flow of runic patterns, causing the aura presence to increase by ten folds in an instant. He cleaved abruptly, which sent out a blade light that pierced through the sky. This wasn’t an ordinary blade light as it was obviously glinting with thunder light, black destructive power, golden light on the edge of the blade, and many more. This blade light even vanished all of a sudden and didn’t even cause any spatial fluctuation.
Chi! Chi!
In the next second, the spatial zone in front of Qing Long suddenly ripped open as a shocking blade light burst out and was about to cleave onto Qing Long!
“Spiritual Connecting Cardinal Treasure, Five-star high-grade dao pattern!”
Qing Long’s expression changed drastically and suddenly yelled out, “Young Master Huangfu, please stop. This old one concedes. The toll… we will pay.”
