Chapter 1358: A Punch and a Sword

　　“What powerful blood qi!”

　　At the spectator area, Dongfang Yi narrowed his gaze.

　　Ximen Ze nodded as well. “Beiming Xue’s bloodline has probably already cultivated to the Lead Mercury Amalgam Blood realm!”

　　Among the three aristocratic families, the Ximen aristocratic family had the strongest body tempering.

　　However, even for Ximen Jingrui who was at Golden Core realm, he only cultivated to the Lead Mercury Amalgam realm with the help of many resources.

　　Dongfang Zhi’s heart skipped a beat.

　　As the most outstanding successor of the Dongfang aristocratic family at the Golden Core realm, she made the right judgment right away and retreated to keep her distance from Beiming Xue!

　　She could not engage Beiming Xue in melee combat!

　　The Martial Dao was to constantly develop one’s potential and temper their bodies.

　　Those who cultivated the Martial Dao were extremely strong in melee combat!

　　“Go!”

　　Dongfang Zhi slapped her storage bag and waved her sleeves, causing a silver spear to appear before her.

　　The spear quivered and shone with six spirit patterns in a bright light!

　　Connate Dharmic weapon, Heavenly Essence Spear!

　　Cultivators of the Dongfang aristocratic family rarely used swords; most of them used spears.

　　While a spear was weaker than a flying sword in terms of agility, it was stronger than a flying sword in terms of strength!

　　Under Dongfang Zhi’s control, the Heavenly Essence Spear transformed into a silver streak of light and arrived before Beiming Xue at an astonishing speed!

　　In terms of speed and burst power, connate weapons were the limit!

　　Without much movement, a cold shimmering sword had already appeared in her hands.

　　The sword quivered and five spirit patterns lit up.

　　A perfect spirit weapon!

　　That sword was the perfect spirit weapon Liu Hanyan gave Beiming Xue.

　　“Beiming Xue has a perfect spirit weapon as well!”

　　“The Beiming family sure has some good stuff!”

　　Many cultivators revealed looks of envy.

　　Beiming Xue suddenly attacked and slashed with her sword!

　　Clang!

　　Sparks flew when the sword struck the Heavenly Essence Spear!

　　Normally, a connate spirit weapon would definitely gain the upper hand in a clash between perfect and connate spirit weapons.

　　However, Beiming Xue was way too strong!

　　The sword quivered and sent the Heavenly Essence Spear flying when it slashed down!

　　Boom!

　　Beiming Xue strode forward and stomped heavily on the ground, arriving before Dongfang Zhi instantly like an arrow that was released from a bow!

　　It was too fast!

　　With the burst of Beiming Xue’s body and bloodline, she covered a distance of more than a hundred feet instantly!

　　Beiming Xue’s expression was cold as she raised her sword and stabbed!

　　Before the sword even arrived, a chilling sharpness was already released!

　　Dongfang Zhi actually felt a slight sting on her glabella!

　　“Trap!”

　　Dongfang Zhi’s reaction was extremely fast when she saw that she could not retrieve the Heavenly Essence Spear in time. She conjured a hand seal and released the legacy spirit art of her aristocratic family!

　　Strange vines and branches grew from the stone platform beneath Beiming Xue and coiled around her body and limbs.

　　The Dongfang aristocratic family specialized in wood spirit arts.

　　As a Golden Core paragon of the Dongfang aristocratic family, Dongfang Zhi was even more well-versed in this Dao and conjured her spirit art in the blink of an eye!

　　Those vines and branches were no ordinary plants. With the augmentation of Dongfang Zhi’s spirit energy, they were not weaker than spirit weapons!

　　Furthermore, there were spikes on the vines that could pierce a cultivator’s flesh!

　　After releasing the spirit art, Dongfang Zhi seized the opportunity to retreat and distance herself from Beiming Xue once more.

　　“Humph!”

　　Beiming Xue sneered.

　　She cultivated the Martial Dao and was already at the Eighth Transformation, Indestructible Diamond. Her body was already invulnerable to fire, water and weapons.

　　Even true spirit weapons could not hurt her, let alone the vines conjured by spirit energy!

　　Beiming Xue struggled!

　　Crack! Crack! Crack!

　　The moment the vines coiled around her, Beiming Xue broke free and gave chase once more.

　　Clang! Clang! Clang!

　　She slashed in succession!

　　Dongfang Zhi blocked Beiming Xue’s sword with her precise movement techniques and spear techniques.

　　However, she was completely disadvantaged!

　　Beiming Xue did not have many sword techniques, but with her Martial Dao True Body as a foundation, the speed and power of each sword strike were pushed to the limits!

　　She was overwhelming everything with brute force!

　　No matter how precise Dongfang Zhi’s moves were, she could not defend against Beiming Xue’s sword!

　　“Beiming Xue’s strength is a little terrifying.”

　　“To think that she would be able to reach such a realm in the Martial Dao. I wonder how many transformations Beiming Xue has cultivated.”

　　The crowd whispered—nobody expected this outcome.

　　“She’s merely relying on brute force,”

　　Ximen Jingrui sneered, “Everyone knows that one doesn’t have any spirit energy if they cultivate the Martial Dao, so they can’t condense Golden Core phenomenons. That’s the greatest advantage we cultivators have!”

　　Dongfang Yi sat high above with a calm expression and was not worried.

　　No one was clearer than him about Dongfang Zhi’s strength.

　　This battle would end the moment Dongfang Zhi released her Golden Core phenomenon!

　　“Beiming Xue, you’re very good to be able to force me to this extent!”

　　Dongfang Zhi’s Golden Core circulated slowly and her spirit energy surged. A purple qi appeared behind her and shone brightly!

　　Golden Core phenomenon, Eastern Purple Qi!

　　Although it was the same phenomenon, the power of Dongfang Zhi’s phenomenon was clearly many times stronger than Dongfang Xuan’s!

　　It was not over yet!

　　Suddenly, another powerful energy fluctuation appeared behind Dongfang Zhi!

　　Another phenomenon rose!

　　Many plants appeared behind Dongfang Zhi and transformed into ferocious soldiers that charged towards Beiming Xue!

　　Golden Core phenomenons, Flora Myriad Weapons!

　　Dongfang Zhi had managed to cultivate two Golden Core phenomenons!

　　The crowd was in an uproar!

　　Even Nangong Xi had a grim expression.

　　Even he was not confident of winning against Dongfang Zhi who had two Golden Core phenomenons.

　　“It’s over,”

　　Dongfang Zhi rose slowly and two Golden Core phenomenons circled around her. Her aura had already climbed to its peak as she looked down at Beiming Xue.

　　“B*tch, it’s useless even if you admit defeat now!”

　　Her voice was cold.

　　She had intended to use her two phenomenons to deal with Nangong Xi. To think that she would have to use them prior to that.

　　“Two phenomenons?”

　　Beiming Xue had a calm expression without any fear or surprise in her eyes.

　　“Indeed, it’s time to end things.”

　　She said indifferently, “However, I’m not the one who will admit defeat!”

　　Before her sentence was finished, Beiming Xue channeled her blood qi with all her might!

　　Splash!

　　Her blood qi surged and a deafening tsunami sound echoed from her body!

　　Tsunami Blood!

　　Cries of surprises came from the crowd.

　　Even Ximen Ze and Dongfang Yi were shocked.

　　All of them were Void Reversions and knew very well how difficult it was to cultivate to the Tsunami Blood realm—it was even rarer than Golden Core phenomenons!

　　There were many people in the cultivation world who could condense Golden Core phenomenons.

　　However, there were very few cultivators who could cultivate Tsunami Blood.

　　Boom!

　　Beiming Xue did not retreat or dodge Dongfang Zhi’s two Golden Core phenomenons. Instead, she strode forward and soared into the air. She threw out a punch with her left hand. In her right hand, her sword was shrouded by layers of Martial Dao astral qi that was indestructible as she slashed out!

　　Her blood qi surged as though a tsunami was surging within her!

　　Boom!

　　Poof!

　　A punch and a sword!

　　The purple qi dissipated and the soldiers were beheaded!

　　Right in front of everyone, the two Golden Core phenomenons that Dongfang Zhi had just conjured were destroyed by Beiming Xue’s punch and sword!

　　The place fell into an uproar!
