Urged by the Purple Cloud Ying Yang Wings, Qin Wushuang’s body drifted as ordinarily as a kite. His two legs tread above the head of the big wave and regardless of how that whirlpool lifted, he used the fierce wind to his advantage to keep above the attack. He would not get shaken nor get drawn into.
As the Graceful Spiritual Bow from his hand integrated with his body, it dispersed waves of terrifying golden lights. HIs entire body seemed like a golden transcendent being, revealing an awe-inspiring presence.
Within the whirlpool, when Mi jia saw Qin Wushuang steer the wind and waves with such steadiness, the anger from her heart erupted even more. She rotated her long whip at his golden body.
It seemed as though her whip could extend endlessly. As it extended suddenly around his golden body, it encircled him with thunderbolt-like speed to wrap his golden body up like a roll.
Within the golden body, Qin Wushuang still appeared expressionless as if he did not see the crisis.
Mi Jia rolled the long whip and just as she was about to strangle Qin Wushuang, something pulled on Mi Jia’s dantian.
Instantly, it seemed as though a hole had opened up from her Dantian. A surge of divine power was pulling forcefully from her Dantian.
Following the long whip, this surge of power spread over the other side of the whip with a speed visible to the naked eye, until it swallowed that golden light.
The next bursts of divine power continued to pull mercilessly.
Once, twice, three times…
Mi Jia’s expression changed greatly as she berated, “What trick is this?”
She immediately pulled back her Dantian and revolved the long whip to let go of Qin Wushuang. Unexpectedly, that wave of golden light seemed to have a surge of magical power as it brought powerful absorption power to stop her movements from backing out!
An almost unnoticeable smile spilled over from the corner of Qin Wushuang’s mouth. With this probe, he learned that this Mi Jia was indeed, an elite warrior of the Supreme Dao Stage!
At such a young age, she had achieved the Supreme Dao Stage! Indeed, this Endless Eastern Sea is full of talented individuals in hiding!
Only, Qin Wushuang had a suspicion. Since this Mi Jia holds such astonishing talent, how come she did not head to the Illusion Heavenly Lake last time. If at that moment Mi Jia possessed Supreme Dao power, Qin Wushuang would not have won the championship at the ordeal competition!
A moment ago, Qin Wushuang integrated with the Graceful Spiritual Bow and used the aura of the bow to sculpture the protecting golden light. Then, he used the Deep North Skill. With the combination of the two, through this trial, indeed he successfully absorbed Mi Jia’s Supreme Dao power.
To Qin Wushuang, the chance to fight close quarter combat with a Supreme Dao elite warrior was close to zero. Initially when he fought Lei Ming, or Luo Tongtian, he used the momentum and the speed of the Graceful Spiritual Bow to launch a quick attack. He had caught his opponents off guard. Plus, with the advantage of being able to attack from a distance, he could kill those two easily.
This time, he also knew that this Mi Jia possessed a relatively similar power as Luo Tongtian. She had only entered the Supreme Dao Stage as it was not consolidated.
Therefore, this also gave Qin Wushuang the best opportunity to fight close-quarter combat. In the beginning, Qin Wushuang thought this Mi Jia was a troublemaker. After a few rounds, he was secretly feeling joyous.
The appearance of this Mi Jia was a great opportunity to train. Fighting this Mi Jia could be viewed as a warm up with an elite warrior of the Supreme Dao Stage.
Qin Wushuang also knew that as the outside world was widely spreading the rumor of how he inherited the ancient formation, the elite warriors he would be facing would be more than he could count.
Therefore, he must cultivate his skill of fighting in close-quarters with Supreme Dao elite warriors. He must get familiar with their skills and combat style.
Only in this case, could he have more leverage for future possible hand-to-hand combat.
Because of this fact, Qin Wushuang did not use his speed advantages with the Purple Cloud Ying Yang Wings, but he tried the Deep North Skill. For this divine skill, ever since Qin Wushuang entered the Void Martial Stage, he rarely used it.
If he were to succeed in making it to the Supreme Dao Stage, he wanted to revisit this skill.
Training at the Supreme Dao Stage was to use one’s divine power to temper and refine the divine soul, to make the divine soul reach immortality.
After this try, indeed, the Deep North Skill was getting stronger as it encountered stronger foes. It could even absorb the power of a Supreme Dao warrior. This clearly increased Qin Wushuang’s confidence to a big extent.
Of course, Qin Wushuang knew that this Mi Jia was not a sworn enemy as he also held back to some extent when he made the move. After making three absorptions, Qin Wushuang said with a clear voice, “Miss Mi Jia, between you and me, if it’s just a dispute caused by personal feelings, why bother fighting like this?”
Mi Jia felt anxious despite her anger. When she pulled three times, it did not move a single inch. When she wanted to have her palm let go, there seemed to be an invisible giant hand from the long whip that pulled her wrist tightly. It was even difficult for her to let go.
When Qin Wushuang saw it, he withdrew the power of the Deep North Skill slightly.
After this withdrawal, Mi Jia felt a ray of hope. Rolling her body, she immediately transformed into a ball of fire and retreated a few dozen metres away.
Indeed, the way she looked at Qin Wushuang became complicated.
Bao Bao gave a heckled laugh. “Hey, big chest woman, you seem to have lost? Why not hurry to surrender and beg our boss to not sell you?”
“Humph, a moment ago I let him have these three easy moves when I saw him come as an outsider. Next, I will be using my true skills.” Mi Jia stomped her foot and raised her scallion white arms high and exhibited a posture as though she were supporting the sky with both palms. She appeared to be a tender and beautiful blooming red rose.
Mi Jia stood with one leg and rotated her body all of a sudden. Like a gyroscope, she rolled into cyclone that could not be distinguished by the naked eyes.
“Clang!”
She raised her arms and two sharp and acute dragon claws grew up from her arms. All the armor on her body started to transform. It kept lengthening and lengthening. And her curvaceous body seemed to be like a ball of dough as it lengthened gradually and transformed through an astonishing posture.
Dragon transformation!
Clearly, this Mi Jia was transforming into her dragon form!
Indeed, followed by a blazing cloud of mist, the body of that Mi Jia danced at a rapid speed. She lifted surges of whistling waves from the surrounding water. The water rolled forward as if the entire territorial water was going to crash down.
Mi Jia still kept her original human shape for her face. She yelled, “Qin Wushuang, if you can take three of my attacks, I will let you leave alive!”
Qin Wushuang did not fear her at all as he laughed leisurely. “Miss Mi Jia, I must admit that you reveal such an imposing manner when you transform into your true form. However, in terms of temperament, do you think you can scare me off? There is no need for three attacks, if you can take one of my attacks and not take a step back, I will count it as your win!”
After he finished speaking, Qin Wushuang shook his two arms and with a long hiss, he grabbed the Graceful Spiritual Bow with his hand. He readied the Shooting Sun Arrows with a perfect arc and in this split second, his imposing manner was like the sun beaming down fiercely.
Both the ball of golden light and ball of red light revealed power that could shatter the earth. As these two were battling in the territorial water of this Endless Eastern Sea, sea spiritual beasts from all directions were frightened endlessly as they scrambled to flee in all directions. For some with less nerve, they trembled under two surges of oppressive divine aura, as they did not even have the courage to run away.
Qin Wushuang roared with laughter. “Mi Jia, didn’t you want this bow and arrow? If you can take it, I will let you have it, how about it?”
“Go ahead and shoot, would I be afraid of you?” Red lights erupted from Mi Jia’s entire body. All the dragon scales on her body also shined and glistened to disperse astonishing dragon breath. As waves of the dragon presence gushed out, it congealed before Mi Jia.
It was like sand grains building up to accumulate into a tower.
In a moment, this dragon breath had formed a thick dragon breath shield in front of Mi Jia!
“Come, Qin Wushuang! Show me how much the so-called Xuan Yuan Mound genius weighs!”
With the arrow on the string, Qin Wushuang was free of distracting thoughts.
He urged the Purple Cloud Ying Yang Wings all of a sudden and his body expelled away urgently.
Rising up his arm, he pulled the bow into the full moon shape.
“Clang!”
There was a perfect arc, perfect skill, and magnificent power!
The Shooting Sun Arrows coerced a surge of wild power and rushed at that dragon shield courageously! Since this shield was formed by dragon breath, the immense power of its defense could not even be easily shattered by elite warriors at the Eight Calamity Coagulate Supreme Dao Stage.
Therefore, Mi Jia had confidence.
When she saw the Shooting Sun Arrows shooting at her with astonishing speed, Mi Jia kept increasing her dragon breath to build up the shield. She only harbored only one thought, “I must defeat this guy and make him hand over the Graceful Spiritual Bow obediently!”
Mi Jia was also confident for she wanted to use her own power to defeat Qin Wushuang. Yet, she never knew that as this Graceful Spiritual Bow was integrated with Qin Wushuang, it no longer exhibited the same amount of power that was shown at the Illusion Heavenly Lake.
Even compared to when he killed Luo Tongtian and Xin Wuji at the Phoenix Mountain, its attack power had increased a lot since then.
The fatal Shooting Sun Arrows pierced into that shield like a sharp sword in which no stronghold could overcome. As if hitting leather, it sunk into the shield swiftly.
In the next moment, the golden lights suddenly erupted within that shield. The shape of the shield immediately started to inflate and almost without allowing any time for reaction, a loud sound exploded from it.
“Boom!”
The explosion resonated in all directions!
The golden light split it open like a ferocious monster tearing apart its prey. It shattered the shield into pieces. When the Shooting Sun Arrows were stopped by this shield, it was spent force.
Qin Wushuang called with his hand and the Shooting Sun Arrows flew backwards. Almost at the same time and unknowing when it happened, Qin Wushuang put another three Shooting Sun Arrows into the Graceful Spiritual Bow. Pointing them at Mi Jia’s true form from afar, he said with an indifferent tone, “Miss Mi Jia, in between my breath, I can shoot nine arrows. I’m wondering how many shields you can create in between your breaths?”
Mi Jia was dumbstruck, yet she would not accept her defeat. With a bite, she swung her body and swept forward with her tail and shouted, “Then you must also take my move!”
This move was called Pendulum Tail of Divine Dragon. As her tail moved like a pendulum, it shot a row of dragon needles that pierced through the sky. With three brushing sounds, like a comb through hair, they shot at Qin Wushuang in a dense mass.
Although these dragon needles appeared ordinary, they were supported by dragon breath which allowed them to have astonishing penetrating abilities. They shot at Qin Wushuang’s face directly.
Qin Wushuang raised the corner of his mouth and a shield shot out directly from his arm. Expanding with the wind, it stopped before him like a wall.
“Thud!”
“Thud, thud, thud!”
The dragon needles bumped into his Supreme Dao shield and let out a piercing sound. When Mi Jia saw this, she dashed forward with her entire body. Crossing her dragon claws, she went claw Qin Wushuang. This claw attack would be Mi Jia’s skill of lifetime!
