Chapter 78 Strange Black Water
78 Strange Black Water
Cheng Xu frowned as the scene of Liu Qiao's defeat replayed in his mind.
Just now, Xue Jingcheng had broken through Liu Qiao's array defense with a single punch and defeated Liu Qiao in one fell swoop.
However, this was not the main point. The main point was that the aura emitted by Xue Jingcheng at that time was vaguely similar to the black substance that Cheng Xu had absorbed, but it was also quite different.
The most important thing was that after sensing that aura, the black substance in his body seemed to be a little restless.
"Looks like that black substance is most likely the true sacred object of the Black Water Mystic Palace."
Compared to Xue Jingcheng, Cheng Xu obviously had not mastered the true power of the black matter.
However, he was certain that the power contained in the black substance was extremely terrifying.
However, Cheng Xu couldn't figure out what kind of existence this sacred object of the Black Water Mystic Palace was. It could actually bring such a terrifying increase to cultivators.
At this moment, on the stage, the disciples of the righteous Sect had long been scared speechless by Xue Jingcheng.
Everyone's eyes were fixed on Yan Changfeng.
Yan Changfeng naturally realized the burden on his shoulders. He took a deep breath and stood up, ready to fight.
"Brother Yan, don't worry. I'll see if I can help you try something."
Xue Lingyu knew that she was no match for him, but she still stood up resolutely.
To her, as long as she could find out something, it was worth it.
Yan Changfeng did not think it was necessary, but he could not stand Xue Lingyu's firm attitude.
Just like that, under the expectant gazes of the Righteous Sect, Xue Lingyu slowly stepped onto the fighting ring.
Then, there was nothing else.
Although Xue Lingyu managed to hold on for a while longer with the Substitute Talisman, she was still easily defeated by Xue Jingcheng. She was not Xue Jingcheng's match at all.
At this moment, the atmosphere of the Righteous Sect was extremely depressing. Everyone placed their last hope on Yan Changfeng.
"Is this the standard of your Righteous Sect prodigies? They can't even withstand a single blow." Xue Jingcheng stood proudly on the stage with a hint of mockery and disdain in his eyes. "Just let your strongest person do it, so as not to waste time!"
Faced with Xue Jingcheng's mockery, the orthodox disciples were all infuriated and requested Yan Changfeng to fight.
As a result, Yan Changfeng transformed into a sword light and entered the arena handsomely under the expectations of the orthodox disciples.
At this moment, Yan Changfeng was no longer hiding anything. He was like a sharp sword that had been unsheathed, emitting a chilling light that made people fear him.
"Hahaha, this kind of opponent is more like it!"
Xue Jingcheng laughed loudly, and his eyes finally revealed a trace of seriousness.
"Cloud Sect's Yan Changfeng, please guide me!"
Yan Changfeng stood with his sword in hand, his aura ready to be unleashed.
Yan Changfeng's temperament was relatively gentle when facing other righteous elites, like a hidden sharp sword. However, when facing the demonic elites, Yan Changfeng was like a sharp sword with a murderous aura.
"I've heard of the genius swordsman of the Cloud Sect! I wonder if your attainments in the Way of the Sword can be compared to the geniuses of the Way of the Sword in the Great Southern Wilderness." Xue Jingcheng said with a faint smile.
"Try it and you'll know!"
Yan Changfeng smiled calmly. When he started to move, a terrifying sword aura instantly enveloped the entire arena.
As Xue Jingcheng chuckled, streams of black sticky liquid splattered out of his body, forming a layer of black sticky liquid that emitted a thick black gas as a defense. It steadily withstood Yan Changfeng's sword technique attack.
In the next second, Yan Changfeng's sword technique changed rapidly, turning into a series of illusory sword shadows that stabbed towards Xue Jingcheng's back.
Bang!
The sword successfully pierced Xue Jingcheng's back, but it was blocked by Xue Jingcheng's inner armor.
Then, slivers of wriggling black mucus extended to Yan Changfeng's arm along the edge of the sword.
"Brother Yan, be careful!"
Seeing this, everyone below the stage exclaimed and reminded him.
While Yan Changfeng frowned in surprise, he reacted quickly and released a dense sword aura on the sword, tearing off the black sticky liquid.
In the next second, Xue Jingcheng's large hand covered in black mucus reached out to grab him.
Yan Changfeng hurriedly used his sword seal to block the attack. Although he managed to block it, the black sticky liquid easily passed through his Genuine Qi protection and stained his sleeve.
Drops of black sticky liquid quickly invaded Yan Changfeng's body. A strange pain instantly spread throughout Yan Changfeng's body, and black smoke began to emerge from his body.
Buzz!
Yan Changfeng endured the intense pain and slashed out a shocking sword aura, forcing Xue Jingcheng to retreat. He then stepped on his sword and soared into the air. His entire face was slightly pale. It was obvious that he had been tormented by the black mucus.
"Hahaha, if you touch my black water, you will definitely die!" Xue Jingcheng laughed arrogantly. "Next, your vital essence, flesh, blood, bones, and muscles will gradually be devoured by the black water until you turn into a puddle of thick water."
Hearing this, the Righteous Sect crowd on and off the stage turned pale with fright.
"Damn it, what the hell is this Black Water of the Black Water Palace!"
In the spectator stands, Daoist Master Tan Yun was restless.
"It's like the black mucus that comes out of the body of the Perfected Yuntai after his death." Huyan Lie frowned and said, "From what they said, the black water seemed to be the sacred object of their Black Water Mystic Palace."
"I see that Changfeng has been tormented by that black water. If it continues to be eroded, his life will probably be in danger."
Fu Yunzi frowned at this moment, ready to save Yan Changfeng at any time.
Compared to that item, he was more concerned about this outstanding successor of the Cloud Sect.
In the arena.
Yan Changfeng had been tormented by the black water in his body, but he soon displayed the elegance of the number one prodigy of the Cloud Sect.
His gaze turned cold. Amidst the exclamations of the crowd, he drew the Sword Qi and Sword Aura into his body.
Even though his body and meridians were severely damaged by the Sword Qi, he managed to force out the black sticky liquid in his body.
This operation stunned everyone, including the Demon Sect members led by the Blood Demon Sect Master.
"How ruthless! You actually dare to draw Sword Qi into your body!" Jiang Hong and Xu Lu exclaimed secretly.
The Blood Demon Cult Master could not help but sigh. "This child… He's a ruthless person!"
In the sky above the arena, Yan Changfeng, who had forced out Black Water, was already heavily injured, but he still maintained his unyielding fighting spirit.
"What a ruthless move." After Xue Jingcheng recovered from his shock, a hint of admiration appeared in his eyes. "I, Xue, have acknowledged you as my opponent!"
He grunted and spat out a black ball with strange patterns from his mouth.
Then, a large amount of black mucus gushed out of his body and poured into the black ball.
The ball of black light turned into a giant claw made of black mucus in the blink of an eye. With a terrifying aura, it grabbed at Yan Changfeng, who was in the air.
Yan Changfeng's eyes sparkled, and an astonishing sword aura rose from his body.
"Seven Stars, get into formation!"
The sky above the arena changed color slightly. The Big Dipper Seven Stars Array suddenly appeared. As the Dubhe Star was lit up, Yan Changfeng's figure disappeared into thin air and turned into a shooting star sword light that descended from the sky.
Puff!
The black demonic claw was pierced through by the Meteor Sword Light amidst the exclamations of the demonic cultivators. It struck Xue Jingcheng's chest at an unparalleled speed.
Xue Jingcheng grunted and spat out a mouthful of blood. He was knocked back to the edge of the ring and almost fell off.
"Little Nantian has such a powerful sword technique?!"
Xue Jingcheng recovered from his shock. He wanted to find Yan Changfeng's position, but he found that the position of the Heavenly Jade Star in the Big Dipper Array had already lit up.
Immediately after, the second Meteor Sword Light descended from the sky and attacked him.
"?!"
Xue Jingcheng was shocked. He quickly recalled the black ball that the Demon Claw had scattered. He relied on the black ball to cast a spell and turned it into a cloud of black fog.
The Meteor Sword Light pierced through the black fog, but it failed to injure Xue Jingcheng.
The black fog quickly floated to the center of the arena, slowly revealing Xue Jingcheng's figure. It was obvious that he had consumed a lot of True Essence.
