Chapter 62: Black Water Mother Lei Qingmu's Star Array

  "Yin Wind Daoist friend, although I didn't witness the battle between the two armies, Wang Daoist friend told me that he was attacked by a black thunder flame. That thunder flame was incredibly powerful, with one giving rise to two, and two giving rise to three, endless and formidable. Among the two imperial courts, only you, Yin Wind Daoist friend, have cultivated this kind of thunder flame. According to what you said, if I don't come looking for you, who else would I look for?" The blue-robed Daoist slightly furrowed his brow and bowed: "Give me some face, I'll trade a thousand crystal stones for the soul essence in your hands, how about it?"

  Yin Feng Dao Ren remained silent for a long time after listening to Qing Yuan Dao Ren's words, before speaking in a low tone: "Qing Xuan, it's not that I don't give you face, but rather I have given you face. Who gives me face? You come and immediately want to take away my soul, how can I hold my head up high in front of other Qi Gong practitioners? They'll think Yin Feng is afraid of you Qing Xuan, allowing you to easily fool me with just a few words."

  "A thousand pieces of crystal stone for a transaction, one uncondensed golden elixir soul of a Qi-refining cultivator. This price is already three to five times higher than others', how can you say I'm afraid of you? In my eyes, you, Yin Feng Dao Ren, are a noble person, it's an honor for Qing Xuan to do business with you. Others who say such words are just jealous, they would only say that you're generous and ignore us small characters." The blue-robed Daoist gave a flattering speech, leaving Wang Guang listening in extreme confusion on the side.

  He glanced at Huo Ya Dao Ren, who was looking at Qing Xuan Dao Ren with a grateful expression. For a moment, Wang Guang also secretly admired Qing Xuan Dao Ren. "A simple conversation has made Huo Ya Dao Ren feel deeply grateful. Regardless of whether today's matter is successful or not, Huo Ya Dao Ren will owe Qing Xuan Dao Ren a favor. A few painless words have earned him a favor; he really knows how to calculate."

  "How about this? Don't mention the crystal transaction, you and I belong to two different countries. I've heard that your Taoist skills are exquisite and your magical treasures are powerful. Today we had a match, you won me, and the soul of that Qi cultivator I will give to you. If you lose to me, this soul I will also give to you, what do you think?" Yin Feng Dao Ren listened to Qing Xuan Dao Ren's words, but only coldly smiled without stopping.

  On the side, Wang Guang heard that Yinfeng Daoist had formally acknowledged that the soul just now was snatched away by him. The anger suppressed in his heart suddenly surged up. "You're good, Yinfeng old Daoist, actually snatching food from my mouth. You really can't bear to live." He glared fiercely at Yinfeng Daoist with a menacing gaze.

  At this time, the Dark Wind Taoist shifted his gaze to Wang Guang, seeing that he had a fierce glint in his eyes and a ferocious expression. Suddenly, he burst into a strange laughter: "What? You little brat don't accept defeat? My Black Water Mother Thunder didn't blast you to death just now, and instead of hiding aside to celebrate your luck, do you still want to fight with me?"

  "Boundless Heaven Venerable! Yin Wind, you're so sneaky. You think you can secretly plot against me? This isn't over yet, I'll get my chance and I'll devour you!" Wang Guang let out a cold laugh, not caring about Yin Wind Daoist at all.

  "How dare you, you actually want to eat me up! Good! Good! Good! You really have a lot of nerve." Yin Feng Dao Ren heard Wang Guang's words and laughed in extreme anger. "I just don't know whether you plan to steam me or deep-fry me?"

  "Swallowing alive is the best, with its original flavor and texture. Where can steaming or deep-frying compare to that?" Wang Guang waved his hand, eyes cast downward as he secretly prepared his magical techniques for a showdown.

  As soon as Wang Guang finished speaking, dozens of practitioners around him were in an uproar. Some praised Wang Guang's boldness in a low voice, while others retorted that this person would be delicious when steamed clean. For a time, they talked in low voices, and no one paid attention to Qingpao and Yinfeng's discussion about the fighting method anymore.

  "Wang Dao, don't be so ruthless. As cultivators, we should be calm and serene, untainted by the worldly noise of the red dust. We drink morning dew and swallow evening clouds, quench our thirst with spiritual springs, and satisfy our hunger with divine elixirs. Where can you devour living people to fill your hunger? Quickly abandon this idea, don't act recklessly." The blue-robed Taoist's face turned unpleasant as he began to advise Wang Guang.

  He simply nodded, just as he was about to respond, the dark wind path person clapped his hands together, and the collision of his fingernails produced a series of metallic ringing sounds. A black sphere the size of an eyeball shot out from his hands towards Wang Guang.

  This pearl is precisely the Black Water Mother Thunder, refined by the secret methods of the Yin Wind Path.

  Only to see this black water mother thunder changed from one to two, two to four, and four into sixteen. In a short breath, the thunder fire transformed into hundreds of them. When the black water mother thunder was only more than ten zhang away from Wang Guang, they all burst open.

  A burst of thunder and lightning exploded, forming a large black cloud about 20-30 feet in diameter.

  At this time, Wang Guang saw clearly that the black cloud was not the smoke he had thought it was, but a swirling mass of black water. The black water churned and gave birth to flashes of lightning, which exploded and then formed another mass of black water. It came at Wang Guang with a continuous roar, unceasing and unstoppable.

  "Your tricks are nothing but this." With preparation, King Guang didn't care about his opponent's thunder and fire.

  He saw this guy put the duster aside at his waist, swung his hands and unfolded the divine power of the molten gold claws. Two three-foot-sized golden palms fiercely stabbed into the rolling black water.

  It was just a ripping sound, like an ordinary old woman tearing strips of cloth to make clothes for her children.

  Two golden large hands each grasped a cluster of black water and kneaded, the black water collided and churned, giving birth to thunder and fire that wanted to explode. Unexpectedly, the two large hands kneaded for a moment, instantly turning the two clusters of black water into nothingness. However, at this time, the two golden large hands were eroded by the black water, appearing somewhat illusory and dim.

  Having displayed his magical powers, he couldn't thoroughly withstand the thunder and flames. Wang Guang let out a strange cry and charged into the sky. This guy's hands moved rapidly, and one by one, dark thunderbolts flew out from between his hands. Although his rank was low, when they hit the black water, each strike could blast away a square meter of black water.

  "Haha! You're just a mediocre cultivator, your Thunderfire is too weak. Why don't you try another method to fight me?" Wang Guang carefully sensed the opponent's unusual Thunderfire through their collision and found that its power was not great. According to his estimation, this Thunderfire should be of the first rank. This calculation led him to conclude that either this Thunderfire took an extremely long time to cultivate, or Yin Feng had not put in much effort into cultivating it.

  Wang Guang's dark water letter bomb exploded with a loud bang, but the master of the Yin Wind Path didn't get angry. Instead, he burst out laughing maniacally.

  "Wang Dao, why must you fight with others because of your temper? Moreover, you are all serving the same imperial court." A Taoist in a green robe said with a low smile.

  "Yin Wind Daoist, didn't we have a deal? The sky is already late, it's better to end early and go back to rest. What do you think?" That Qing Pao Daoist said as he took out a wooden stake the thickness of an arm from his waist pouch.

  This wooden stake was about one foot in size, with a green color all over its body, and there were flowing lights that swirled around it. Only to see the Qingxuan Taoist toss the wooden stake towards his head, this wooden stake suddenly emitted a layer of green light halo that enveloped him.

  "Whatever!" Yin Feng said, his body transforming into a black wind that swept towards Qing Xuan. He didn't care whether Wang Guang would launch a sneak attack or not. And Wang Guang knew in his heart that it was not good for him to intervene in the fight between these two people. Not to mention whether Qing Xuan would agree or not, just the fact that Huo Ya was standing by and wouldn't allow him to interfere with the battle, lest he lose the soul of his own friend.

  The dark wind that the Yin Wind Dao person transformed into continued to entwine and revolve around the green light, which was flashing. Strand after strand of black light emerged from the wild wind, each over a foot long, colliding with the green light and producing a clear ringing sound. Upon closer inspection, it turned out to be the black light emitted from the fingernails of that Yin Wind Dao person.

  With the green light repelling the black light, this Green Mystic cultivator was not a passive punching bag. Although he spoke politely, once he made his move, all the Qi-refining practitioners present were shocked.

  That Qingxuan Daoist didn't move his hands, but instead stretched out an empty hand and grasped at the air. A ball of blue light fell from the top of the wooden stake into his palm. The blue light rotated rapidly and suddenly shot towards Yinfeng Daoist.

  A dark wind path person swung dozens of black lights to collide with the green light group, instantly blasting the green light group into pieces. However, in the next breath, the scattered green light suddenly collided and transformed into thick wooden logs, each several meters long.

  Hundreds of logs are changing and arranging their formation in mid-air, then a mad wind path rushes past the four sides.

  The logs collided, and a fierce fire filled the logs. One log was blown apart by a black light, and then transformed into a wisp of green smoke that flew into the air before condensing back into a log that continued to smash downwards.

  "Seikōhoshinjin!" The ear-piercing voice of Inori Kaze no Kokoro came from within the formation, and at this time his transformed black wind had already been suppressed by the formation, revealing his figure. "Well done, Seigen, you've actually mastered such a technique, truly a good move."

  "Trivial skills are no match for a friend's Dharma eye." Qing Xuan Dao Ren continued to manipulate the law seal, and streams of green smoke merged into the short wooden stake on his head. The stake stopped spewing out green light and instead condensed into thick, cylindrical wooden rods that floated in mid-air, rotating. Threads of emerald-green energy were drawn into the formation, further increasing its power.

  Wang Guang saw from the outside that although he was extremely surprised that Qing Xuan could display his Taoist skills and set up an array, he was not afraid in his heart. He just looked at Yin Feng with a puzzled expression, suddenly revealing his figure to show his incomprehension.

  "Is this the 'Aoki Star Formation'? From its appearance, it doesn't seem to be a powerful formation. Does the Yin Wind Path person not have any other methods?" This guy didn't think the formation was strong, but rather that the Yin Wind Path person's abilities were limited.

  Does he know what happened to Yin Feng Dao Ren in the law array?

  A single log looked insignificant to a practitioner, but upon closer inspection, it was clear that each log weighed over 10,000 catties and was incredibly hard. If Wang Guang were to throw a Thunderbolt at this moment, it's uncertain whether he could blast a hole in the logs. But now, the Dark Wind Taoist didn't seem to be using any particular technique - a black light flashed by, and the logs exploded into fragments, turning into a cloud of green smoke that flew away. It was many times stronger than Wang Guang's second-stage Thunderbolt.
