Douluo Continent: You become gods, I become immortals

Chapter 6: The Powerful Li Yuntian!

Above the Star Dou Great Forest

Tang Zhen and Li Yuntian's figures transformed into two streaks of light, each collision like a thunderclap, scattering the clouds in all directions.

"Disorderly Cloak Hammer Technique!"

"The Nine Absolute Techniques of Haotian!"

Tang Zhen's beard and hair stood on end, and the huge black hammer in his hand spun like the wind, each strike carrying the force to split mountains and shatter the earth.

Layer upon layer of hammer shadows, combined with the "Chaotic Cloak Hammer Technique" and the "Nine Absolute Techniques of Haotian," wove an impenetrable black net in the sky.

At first, Li Yuntian could only barely parry. The Azure Fire Sword trembled in his hand, and the azure flames on the sword flashed on and off. Every time he clashed with the Haotian Hammer, a tearing pain came from his tiger's mouth.

But his eyes were calm as still water, and his figure moved through the gaps between the hammer shadows. Although he was in great danger, he never showed any signs of defeat.

Ten moves, fifty moves, a hundred moves...

A strange feeling gradually rose in Tang Zhen's heart.

Before their eyes, Li Yuntian's swordsmanship was transforming at a visible speed—his initial clumsy parries were gradually turning into precise interceptions.

The sword's momentum, which had been suppressed, suddenly and tenaciously extended its counterattack edge like spring grass.

"boom!"

The Azure Fire Sword clashed with the Clear Sky Hammer for the 137th time. This time, Li Yuntian only took three steps back.

The blue flames on the sword suddenly intensified, transforming into a pillar of fire that pierced the sky, dyeing half the sky a bluish-green hue.

"How is this possible?!" Alarm bells rang in Tang Zhen's mind.

He could clearly sense that his opponent's strength was growing rapidly during the battle.

That wasn't an increase in soul power, but rather the awakening of some deeper 'intention'.

"You've only been a Title Douluo for a few years, how can you possess such combat power?"

Tang Zhen shattered the sword's edge with a single blow, and his voice finally betrayed a hint of barely suppressed horror.

Li Yuntian didn't answer, but instead flicked his wrist, drawing a perfect arc with the Azure Fire Sword.

This sword strike had no fancy moves, yet it was faster than the eye could see.

Tang Zhen's pupils contracted sharply, and in haste, he used the "Defense" technique from the Nine Absolute Techniques of Haotian, using his giant hammer to block in front of him.

"clang--!"

The sound of metal clashing echoed through the forest. This time, it was Tang Zhen who retreated.

He looked down at his trembling hand, then looked up at the longsword burning with blue flames, and finally understood where that strange feeling came from—the person in front of him was actually using his Haotian Hammer Technique to sharpen the sword!

On the ground, Zhang Qingxuan stood with his hands behind his back, a barely perceptible smile playing on his lips.

The days and nights of "sparring" with Li Yuntian flashed through his mind—although he was not proficient in swordsmanship, every move of the basic sword style passed down for thousands of years in Longhu Mountain contained the ultimate principles of martial arts.

He accompanied Li Yuntian in practicing moves, seemingly giving casual pointers, but in reality, every sword strike was a foreshadowing of this moment.

Meeting Tang Zhen today is a perfect opportunity to use him as a whetstone!

"Buzz—"

Suddenly, a wave of soul power receding steadily came from behind!

Zhang Qingxuan turned around and saw Yang Wanqing slowly open her eyes. Her aura was full and harmonious, indicating that she had completely absorbed the soul ring.

"Godmother, how are you feeling?"

Yang Wanqing stretched her waist, her bones making a slight crackling sound, and a relieved smile appeared on her face: "Not only has my soul power increased by one level, but the quality of my martial soul also seems to have improved."

"Next time, if I get a similar ninth spirit ring, I should be able to undergo a transformation!"

Her gaze shifted to Tang Li, who was curled up on the ground beside her, his face bruised and swollen. She raised an eyebrow and asked, "Whose kid is this?"

"Oh, just a foul-mouthed, arrogant brat." Zhang Qingxuan said in a flat tone, as if he were commenting on the nice weather.

With that, he flicked his wrist, and the golden whip wrapped around Tang Li suddenly contracted, turning into a tiny speck of light the size of a grain of rice, which snapped against Tang Li's chest.

Before Tang Li could even groan, he was sent flying like a kite with a broken string, crashing into three ancient trees before finally embedding himself in the trunk of a fourth tree and losing consciousness.

Yang Wanqing looked up at the sky, her gaze lingering for a moment on Tang Zhen's iconic black giant hammer, her expression changing slightly: "That's... the Clear Sky Hammer of the Clear Sky Sect?!"

Zhang Qingxuan nodded calmly and said, "Yes, the other party should be Tang Zhen, the Grand Elder of the Haotian Sect!"

At this time, the Clear Sky Sect only had two Title Douluos, and this person was clearly not Tang Chen, the level 99 Clear Sky Sect Master.

Yang Wanqing turned her head sharply, her voice lowered: "Qingxuan, what exactly happened?"

Zhang Qingxuan briefly recounted the cause and effect.

From Tang Zhen demanding the soul bone, to Tang Zhen targeting her through the Po Clan, to Zhang Qingxuan wanting to annihilate the Po Clan, to Tang Zhen finally taking action in anger and fighting Li Yuntian.

After listening, Yang Wanqing remained silent for a long time, then sighed with a complex expression: "The Haotian Sect has become increasingly domineering in recent years."

"Qingxuan, what do you want to do with him?" She looked at her adopted son, her eyes questioning.

Zhang Qingxuan looked up at the sky and said calmly, "Cut the weeds and eliminate the roots!"

"With my godfather's help, we can take his life within a hundred moves, and then sink his body into the lake without anyone knowing."

He was not arrogant.

He cultivated the Five Thunder Orthodox Method to its peak, and indeed had the ability to fight against a Title Douluo.

If combined with Li Yuntian's Azure Flame Sword, which grows stronger with each battle, it's not impossible to leave behind a level 92 Tang Zhen.

Yang Wanqing shook her head: "No."

She reached out and pressed Zhang Qingxuan's shoulder, her voice soft yet resolute: "If the Grand Elder of Haotian Sect dies here, Tang Chen will personally investigate."

"If he discovers anything, not only you and me, but the entire Li family will be turned upside down."

Zhang Qingxuan frowned slightly, but ultimately did not refute. He turned and walked towards Tang Li.

A moment later, Zhang Qingxuan returned carrying the unconscious Tang Li and casually threw him on the ground.

Then, he looked up at the sky, his voice echoing throughout the forest like rolling thunder:

"You old bastard in the sky—get lost after you've had your fill! If you dawdle any longer, your prodigy might be stuck in the Star Dou Great Forest forever!"

Before he finished speaking, he raised his foot and kicked Tang Li's cheek lightly.

The meaning is clear—get your kid out of here right now!

Tang Zhen, who was in the sky, saw this scene and his veins bulged!

However, he wasn't stupid. He knew that if he fought desperately now, he would be fighting three against one, and he and the young master would likely perish in the Star Dou Great Forest!

Even if he manages to escape and return to Haotian Sect, Tang Chen will not let him go.

"Give me my young master, and I'll leave immediately!"

"That's settled then!" Zhang Qingxuan simply tossed Tang Li over.

After catching Tang Li, Tang Zhen gave Zhang Qingxuan a venomous look.

"You brat, you just wait! The Haotian Sect won't let this go so easily!"

After saying that, Tang Zhen and Tang Li left quickly.

Watching Tang Zhen leave, none of the three chased after him.

Zhang Qingxuan curled his lip, utterly disdainful!

The Li family is now thriving in all aspects, largely thanks to the existence of Li Yuntian, a titled Douluo.

Many forces, even the Spirit Hall, have business partnerships with the Li family.

Many forces are eager to obtain the secret of the Li family's ability to absorb spirit rings across time limits!

If it really comes to a last resort, we can always join the Spirit Hall and use their strength against them!

That old man, Qian Daoliu, is incredibly stubborn!

Even when fighting Tang Chen, he would abandon his aerial advantage and go head-to-head with Tang Chen because of his chivalry!
