Crossing into Immortal Cultivation

  In the Jingyue Palace, the disciples were best at utilizing their own advantages. As soon as Ji Blian said "please", the brocade in his arm crook was like a white giant python, making a "hissing" sound as it broke through the air, as if spitting out its tongue, making the brocade appear even more cunning and treacherous, like a snake slithering.

  But Zhang Tian Tai was like a man of iron, he had already grasped the long knife in his hand at the moment when Ji Ban Lian opened her mouth, and as soon as the brocade curtain lifted its head, he raised the knife handle high and chopped down heavily.

  The blade's energy is like a wave, surging and rolling away! The brocade ribbon is like a snake, winding and wrapping around!

  The saber and the silk are entwined together, one strong and sharp, the other warm and soft, yet it is unclear whether the saber will cut through the silk or be overcome by its gentleness.

  All the monks opened their eyes wide and watched the two men wrestling.

  Zhang Tian Tai and Ji Ban Lian's moves were similar, this strike came out, although the momentum seemed different, but in fact the power was similar, for a moment the air was "rolling" and "dizzy", and it was impossible to see clearly at once.

  Only to see the half lotus, with both wrists wrapped in silk ribbons, 'jade' arms lightly raised, body spinning and twirling, dancing. The silk ribbons moved with it, suddenly advancing and retreating, sometimes hidden and sometimes visible.

  That knife came over, every time it was about to touch a single point, but was slapped open by the brocade. It was a quick touch and then left... In the end, it couldn't even make a real cut, and instead, the brocade had stripped the knife of its dominance.

  It seems now that Ji Bànlián has gained the upper hand.

  Su Xun looked delighted and asked sideways: "Now that the two of them have already fought one round, Brother Zi Qing, which one do you choose?"

  Xu Ziqing smiled and said: "Since you called me 'brother', naturally it's up to you to choose first."

  Su Xian let out a light cough: "Then I won't be polite with you. In my opinion, Ji Bànlián is as cunning as a fox, and will likely win."

  Xu Ziqing smiled slightly: "You chose Ji Daoyou, I'll choose Zhang Daoyou then."

  Su Xun felt he had taken advantage of the situation, rubbed his nose and watched as the two others continued to fight.

  At this time, he didn't know that Xu Ziqing was carefully watching the battle between Zhang Tiantai and Ji Banlian, while sinking his consciousness into the seal to talk to his best friend.

  "Brother Yun, will you watch the battle with me?"

  The person in the courtyard said: "Yes."

  Seeing Ji Bànlián gaining the upper hand, Zhang Tiān Tàì showed no signs of anxiety. His face was cold and stern as he swung his sword in a horizontal slash, the sword energy suddenly changing direction.

  At this moment, the brocade was just coming towards this place, and it was about to collide with the knife energy!

  Ji Banlian saw, her slender waist suddenly twisted, the brocade silk instantly danced out three layers of circular rings, surrounding her, just like a fairy standing under the moon, elegant and captivating.

  This is why she took back her silk, and refused to confront Jianqi head-on.

  Xu Ziqing was somewhat puzzled, the brocade and long sword were both magical instruments, if they really collided, it wasn't necessarily that the silk would be cut off by the sword energy, why was Ji Balian so careful, not even willing to let them touch at all?

  He didn't understand either, so he asked too.

  "If you want to practice with a sword, the blade must be satiated with fresh blood. Zhang Tian Tai's sword already has some fire attributes and the sword energy also carries the aura of death, which can cause harm."

  Xu Ziqing thought for a moment and said, "Ji Banlian's brocade is indeed clean, but once it comes into contact with that knife, it will be stained with evil energy. Later, when refining it, it will be very laborious..."

  Yun Liao said: "Apart from this, it is also related to the 'nature' of the two methods and instruments."

  This was the test. Xu Zi Qing thought carefully and said, "The long knife is indeed powerful, but its shape is much shorter than the brocade whip. However, it has a strong aura that can hurt people from a distance. The brocade whip is extremely long and can change shape at will, with boundless power, but unfortunately, in this situation, it's being restricted and unable to move freely."

  Yun Liao listened and then spoke again: "If it comes down to it, Ji Bánlián will not have many more scruples."

  As expected, Zhang Tian Tai 'penetrated' the first opportunity in the arena and instantly "brushed" three knives in a row, cutting out three extremely sharp knife-type air slashes!

  These three strands of aura "hums" shook, like a bell ringing, in the shape of "" extremely fast rushing to Ji Bánlián's body, it was unavoidable. If you want to take away that brocade, Ji Bánlián would have been hit by the knife energy, if not taken, then inevitably stained the brocade!

  Seeing Zhang Tian Tai's fierce sword, Ji Bàn Lián furrowed her delicate eyebrows and also made a swift decision, no longer caring about Jin Yu. Suddenly, she twisted her arms in some way, and Jin Yu was like a spinning top, rapidly rotating! Meanwhile, Ji Bàn Lián stood in the center of the spinning top, her expression solemn, with a hint of pain revealed in her eyes.

  "Whoosh whoosh whoosh whoosh whoosh——"

  Three knives clashed swiftly with "top", but emitted a series of metallic "clashing" sounds!

  "In the blink of an eye, as the gyroscope spins rapidly, it is precisely when water cannot be poured in that the knife's edge also cannot enter. It is reduced layer by layer and splashed everywhere at an extremely fast speed, wearing away all its power!"

  Zhang Tian Tai was not flustered and continued to wield his sword in a flurry of strikes.

  At that moment, the knife and "top" kept colliding, and finally, a rust-like stain gradually appeared on the white "top", and its rotation speed also slowed down...

  Zhang Tian Tai was very calm and composed, but suddenly shouted loudly: "Ha!"

  The next moment, a ten-foot-long blade burst out!

  "The Gyro" defense power has been exhausted, and it can no longer withstand the blade's might. As soon as the blade touched it, it let out a mournful cry, and instantly a tearing sound echoed through the air!

  "Bang!"

  Exploded into powder!

  Snow-white brocade was like white butterflies scattered in the impact of the storm, revealing the previously well-protected Ji Bao Lian.

  At this time, Ji Bàn Lián's face was slightly pale, and it was clear that she had also suffered a lot when she used the dance of brocade to dissipate the sword energy. Now it seemed that her spiritual power had been consumed by more than half.

  Zhang Tian Tai's spiritual power consumption was also not inferior to Ji Ban Lian's.

  What he used was the divine sword 'Men' that everyone practiced, the "Tian Jian Jue", which was the most powerful and overbearing. Once a cultivator mastered it deeply, their body would naturally exude an intimidating aura.

  Zhang Tian Tai has been practicing this knife technique for over 30 years, and it can be said that he is extremely skilled. He can even make the precious knife in his hand emit a knife aura and a knife halo. In the entire Divine Knife Sect, he is only inferior to his master, the current sect leader, and no one else can match him!

  However, emitting a knife aura or a knife halo is not that easy, and it consumes a lot of spiritual power. With his current deep cultivation, he can only barely manage to slash out ten knives. Now, in order to break through Ji Bánlián's defense, he has already chopped six knives! Only four knives are left...

  Ji Banlian looked at the already torn brocade, a flash of anger in her eyes: "Brother Zhang is really impolite, little sister has truly learned a lesson!"

  Zhang Tian Tai was unmoved: "When engaging in martial combat, one should go all out and use their full strength, this is the best strategy."

  The lotus has withered in autumn, yet it is beyond help.

  They are all 'feminine' in the Jing Le Palace, famous for their silk dance, and unlike the 'feminine' of the demonic path, they naturally make many male cultivators seek to marry and worship them. In ordinary situations, if they want to compete for something, they often have the upper hand.

  There are indeed gods with the "Door" of divine knives, who do not spare a glance at beauties, and not only do they not feel pity for their beauty, but also show no mercy when encountering them, how can this not provoke indignation!

  But after all, Ji Bàn Lián was also the top dancer in Jingyue Palace, and her personality was extremely determined. She knew that this martial duel was very important, and with her cultivation, she naturally had a great deal of confidence to stay behind. However, since there were people from the Great World watching, how could she not put on a good show? Moreover, the guardian at the gate was extraordinary, if she could get along with him... it would be extremely beneficial for her future in the Great World.

  So she had already been a bit out of sorts just now, and it couldn't continue like this anymore. Otherwise, if she gave that Tang senior a bad impression, it would be a loss.

  At this point, Ji Bàn Lián smiled slightly: "Then please be careful, Zhang Dao brother!" As soon as the words fell, her 'jade' palm flipped over, and two more 'jade' bangles appeared on her wrist.

  On the jade bangle, three jade bells were inlaid. With a slight shake of her wrist, a clear and extremely light ringing sound was heard, which made people involuntarily shiver for a moment.

  Zhang Tian Tai's handsome face furrowed, and his resolute expression also revealed a few hints of solemnity. His hands tightly gripped the hilt of his sword, and he was even more stern than when he had seen Jin Si earlier.

  Ji Banlian smiled lightly and opened her palms, covering her eyes for a moment - "Ding!"

  Zhang Tian Tai's wrist also couldn't help but tremble.

  Then he suddenly woke up with a start, his fingers gripping the hilt even tighter, and the veins on his arm bulged!

  "Ding! Ding!"

  "Ding ding!"

  One by one, extremely slow and extremely clear, Ji Bánlián's toes rose, as if there was no one around, just a single turn. The light yellow skirt also floated slightly, like a half-open flower.

  The 'desire' to refuse and yet welcome, the 'desire' to cover up and yet reveal. The dance steps are light and nimble, as if stepping on people's hearts!

  Every time the jade bell made a soft sound, Zhang TianTai's heart skipped a beat. As the bell rang more urgently, Zhang TianTai's heart also beat faster.

  "Ding! Ding! Ding! Ding!"

  The ringing sound gradually became like a heavy rain, and Zhang Tian Tai was also panting heavily. His face turned crimson, his eyes had already lost some clarity, and his spiritual energy was frantically surging through his meridians, as if he was about to explode at any moment!

  Only the fingers on the hilt of the knife, which were grasping tighter and tighter, could reveal that he was still resisting...

  At this time, the audience also sensed something was wrong.

  It was not just Zhang Tian's performance, but also because a faint veil suddenly appeared in front of them - this was the ban set by Tang Wenfei for them.

  But the gauze at this moment seemed to be struck by something, as if it was going to break through the gauze - but the gauze only lightly trembled, and that impact was lightly dissipated...

  Monks closed their eyes one after another, and when they opened them again, clusters of colorful lights burst out from their eyes.

  Xu Ziqing's eyes shone with a bright blue light as he stared straight into the arena.

  As expected, the half-lotus dance's dynamic posture all around, ripple-like sound waves undulating outward in circles, suddenly large and small, surrounding Zhang Tian Tai's body.

  Zhang Tian Tai's eyes turned red, just like a trapped beast, tightly entwined in the web of sound waves, let alone swinging his sword, even lifting his arm was impossible!

  Is this match going to be won by Ji Bàn Lián?!

  Ji Banlian's smile was enchanting, and every gesture she made seemed to have an ineffable rhythm.

  But Xu Ziqing could see that her forehead was also beading with fine sweat...

  Before the battle, one wanted to use his tyrannical knife aura to quickly decide the outcome, while the other wanted to first exhaust his opponent's spiritual energy and then crush his will.

  However, Zhang Tiantai underestimated the opponent's defense, while the opponent did not expect that Zhang Tiantai could emit and was willing to simultaneously emit three knife energies!

  One has lost his treasured personal artifact, while the other has fallen into his opponent's trap. Now, they can only compete in endurance...
