Longevity Martial Arts: I have a Mysterious Water Snake Avatar-Chapter 728 - 491 Intense Battle_4

In previous eras, both parties would certainly not have engaged in a life-and-death struggle so soon. After all, they had only just entered the Saint Realm; their respective paths were far from complete, far from perfected! It could only be said that the various maneuvers of East Supreme Saint had shattered one common law after another that people had taken for granted.

At this moment, Hong Yuan stood high in the sky, his expression icy, supremely aloof.

Li Jianqiu stood on the island grassland, her head held high, her gaze resolute.

CRACK—

As their eyes met, the heavens and earth roared in response.

Lightning and brilliant radiance exploded continuously across the sky like a sea of blossoms.

The void fractured piece by piece, revealing layer upon layer of dark fissures.

Words were unnecessary; both understood the other's intent.

"Phoenix Creek Treasure Skill!"

"Floating Butcher!"

The Phoenix God Zither rested above Hong Yuan's head. His black Taoist robe gained layers of water-blue Tao Marks, rendering it impregnable. The ethereal sound of the zither, like enormous waves crashing down, obscured the sky, threatening to completely submerge Li Jianqiu.

Li Jianqiu held the Deep Green Halberd. The Profound Black Armor she wore surged with blood-red Tao Marks, ominously corrosive. Her blood energy erupted fully. The halberd in her hands swept out, unleashing a rolling calamity qi that shredded the mighty waves of zither sound.

The heavens and earth trembled lightly; the cosmos shook.

This entire sea area began to shake violently. Wave after wave rose from the surface, and island after island crumbled to dust.

This was merely the aftermath of their battle, yet it created such a terrifying situation, truly worthy of the peerless individuals chosen by Destiny from both races!

Seeing one inhabited island after another destroyed, and thinking of yet another sea area being rendered useless, Li Jianqiu's gaze grew even more chilling.

The Human Race is too arrogant!

In the midst of the fierce battle, Li Jianqiu's tightly bound ponytail had come undone at some point.

Her black hair whipped wildly, stained with vast amounts of blood, as she counterattacked fiercely. The Deep Green Halberd in her hands shone with a chilling light, horrifying to the soul.

SWISH!

The halberd swept through the void, carrying with it the hazy power of the void, unleashing the most resplendent killing aura as it descended upon Hong Yuan.

In that instant, as the halberd struck, a divine, deafening sound rang out.

Truly the epitome of rigidity and fierceness, uncompromising in nature!

Hong Yuan's eyes flashed with cold light. The Public Character Heavenly Book at his waist leaped out, directly taking the hit head-on, equally fierce and unyielding.

BANG! BANG! BANG!

The halberd struck the Public Character Heavenly Book repeatedly, bursting forth with thick, ink-like splashes.

Impregnable!

Between heaven and earth, the two figures remained locked in fierce combat, their intensity evenly matched, various Tao Marks clashing. Their afterimages filled the void, their prowess indistinguishable.

As the battle progressed, it grew increasingly intense.

Hong Yuan versus Li Jianqiu, the Phoenix God Zither versus the Deep Green Halberd, the Public Character Heavenly Book versus the Yellow Earth Holy Sword...

Be it their status, their cultivation attainments, or their Holy Artifact equipment...

In all aspects, Hong Yuan and Li Jianqiu were strikingly similar; neither could claim complete dominance over the other.

In them, one could almost glimpse the ferocity of a battle between the Destinies of the two races!

However, if Hong Yuan truly disregarded everything to use his body's trump card, he still could have killed Li Jianqiu.

But I will not do so. Such a move would be folly, aiding the enemy.

"Is that Hong Yuan?!"

"How favored by the heavens is the Human Race—"

"Stop uttering words that dampen our own spirits! Get yourselves together, damn it!"

"Hong Yuan, I must kill him."

「On the Demon Clan's side.」

Seeing Hong Yuan actually fighting Li Jianqiu to a standstill, the Demon Saints were instantly filled with a murderous desire as rampant as the sea, eager to eradicate him!

Considering they were in the Endless Sea Area and Hong Yuan's strength was clearly reduced, yet he was still able to contend with Li Jianqiu, how could the Demon Clan not feel deeply loathsome and furious.

"Hong Yuan is truly extraordinary. No wonder, Yanjiang, you chose to impart the Phoenix Creek Treasure Skill only to him."

"It is his own effort; at most, I merely played a guiding role."

「On the Human Race's side.」

Faced with the praise from Qinglu Great Saint, Phoenix Creek Great Saint gently shook his head.

A master leads the way; cultivation is up to the individual. I really didn't teach Hong Yuan much.

It wasn't that I was inattentive, but the Phoenix Creek Treasure Skill is a summation of one's personal path. There wasn't much I could teach him.

"Emperor's son, with Hong Yuan and Li Jianqiu at a stalemate, the momentum of the Human Race's advance has not only recovered to its former state but has become even better than before!"

At the same time, Mou Liang Great Saint watched the compass needle in his hand turn and spoke with excitement.

"Mhm," East Supreme Saint nodded slightly, his expression calm.

This result had been within his expectations.

Otherwise, he would not have specifically sent Hong Yuan here.

The world values balance?! East Supreme Saint's eyes narrowed, his heart filled with extreme resentment.

This Demon Clan... why do they always survive so tenaciously, like a centipede that writhes even in death?

Now, they have even produced an existence like Xuan Guangqiao.

At times, I actually see in Xuan Guangqiao qualities that seem similar to my father, the Dragon Sun Emperor, yet are, in fact, utterly opposite.

No one knows better than I how terrifying my father, the Dragon Sun Emperor, was. Because of this, I feel an overwhelming urge to eliminate Xuan Guangqiao.

This feeling reached its peak when the Dream Tao Master was taken by Xuan Guangqiao!!
