But the next moment, he found himself unable to move. Qi Xiao furrowed his brows tightly and shook his head vigorously, only to suddenly see Yu Feng throw his head back and laugh heartily.
"Hahaha, you thought you could use that trick more than once, didn’t you? You just killed two people with that broken bell. How could we possibly be unprepared?"
He extended his right hand, and a small white jade pendant floated in his palm, glowing brightly. At that moment, a transparent barrier of spiritual energy appeared before everyone’s eyes.
Qi Xiao then realized that, at some point, a Soul-Restraining Array had enveloped the entire alley.
"You just used a soul attack, didn’t you? This Soul-Restraining Array is specifically designed to suppress souls! The moment you shake that broken bell of yours, I can activate this array immediately, leaving you with no way out!"
The Soul-Restraining Array specializes in suppressing souls. Some ancient beings above the Infant Realm may have their physical bodies destroyed, but their souls remain intact. Thus, practitioners in the cultivation world developed this array to suppress their souls, preventing them from attacking or escaping the barrier.
To Qi Xiao's surprise, Yu Feng was able to adapt and apply the Soul-Restraining Array on a living person, using it to counteract soul attraction—truly a creative approach. Qi Xiao almost wanted to applaud him.
"Since it’s like this, then there’s no other way." Qi Xiao stuffed the bell back into his jade ring, drew his sword, and assumed a stance, staring intently at Yu Feng.
Yu Feng was equally unyielding; he retracted the jade pendant and unfolded the folding fan in his hand. With a gentle flick, a fierce wind immediately swept through the arena, making it difficult for anyone to open their eyes.
Amidst the howling wind, several silver needles mixed in, targeting Qi Xiao's vital points.
With a series of sharp clinks, those silver needles were all severed by Qi Xiao's sword. Yu Feng narrowed his eyes slightly; seeing that his technique had no effect on the opponent, he transformed the fan into a sword and lunged forward.
In the next moment, a chilling sword light flashed before him. Qi Xiao was taken aback and hurriedly raised his sword to defend himself but was forced back several steps by the sword energy.
Pushed to his limits, he spat out a mouthful of blood.
Lu Mingyuan was furious. "Junior Brother, I’ll help you!"
However, as soon as he moved, several golden pressures locked onto him tightly. A black-robed elder gently patted his shoulder.
With each pat, Lu Mingyuan sank deeper into the ground until shallow pits appeared beneath his feet after three pats.
The elder said calmly, "Young Master prefers not to be disturbed during competitions; you should just stay put."
After saying this, several black-robed figures moved closer to him once again.
Lu Mingyuan's eyes were filled with rage, wanting to strike back, but several people held him down with their spiritual power, rendering him unable to even open his mouth. He was merely at the early stage of Gold, while the elders here were all deeply skilled, likely at the peak of Gold! The disparity in strength left Lu Mingyuan feeling powerless.
Qi Xiao wiped the blood from the corner of his mouth and smiled at him, signaling him not to act rashly. Then, Qi Xiao took out several pills from his jade ring and swallowed them before charging back into the fray. The sword light was sharp and the spiritual energy surged, but the situation remained overwhelmingly one-sided.
Lu Mingyuan clenched his fists in frustration, lowering his head as sorrow filled his heart. Without absolute strength, he could do nothing—he could only watch as his junior brother was beaten mercilessly! He had been regarded as a genius, sailing smoothly through life, but now he realized just how useless he truly was.
Qi Xiao had no time to concern himself with anything else; he had only one thought in mind: to fight. As long as he didn’t die, he would fight to the bitter end! Under normal circumstances, it was a foolish dream for someone at the Foundation Establishment stage to battle against someone at the Gold stage without any other tricks up their sleeve! Yet the more impossible it seemed, the more Qi Xiao's fighting spirit ignited.
Seeing Qi Xiao swallow several more pills in quick succession, Yu Feng raised an eyebrow. What a fool! Eating so many pills at once—wasn’t he afraid of bursting?
“Don’t worry about me,” Yu Feng sneered coldly as he intensified his attacks. He had been toying with Qi Xiao like a cat playing with a mouse for long enough; it was time to end this. However, despite all his efforts, Qi Xiao showed no signs of faltering. Instead, he became increasingly fierce. The sword lights slashed through the air with murderous intent, even causing Yu Feng to feel a twinge of fear.
In a moment of distraction, Yu Feng found himself retreating too late; a sword light grazed his face and created a hole in his back. This wasn’t the kind of strength one would expect from someone at the Foundation Establishment stage! A Foundation Establishment cultivator battling against him at the Gold stage not only showed no signs of weakness but grew stronger instead, putting pressure on Yu Feng.
His heart raced as doubts crept in—could this young man be hiding his true level? Feeling uneasy, Yu Feng raised his sword and unleashed his most powerful move against Qi Xiao.
In an instant, silver light flickered, and a wild wind swept through the chaos. Suddenly, a rainbow light burst forth, like a thunderclap, clearing everything in its path as it surged towards Qixiao.
The crowd stared in astonishment, their eyes wide.
This strike might possess the power of a peak Golden Core attack! Was this the third move of the White Rainbow Sword Technique that the young master was using? When Yufeng entered the Xianyao Sect to practice swordsmanship, his family had spent a fortune to acquire a mysterious sword manual at an auction.
This manual was notoriously difficult to master, but once learned, its power was formidable. An elder was overjoyed and repeatedly clasped his hands in salute.
"Congratulations, Master! Congratulations! The young master has mastered the third move of the sword manual before even turning twenty. It’s evident that he possesses extraordinary talent. One day, he will surely lead our family to great heights!"
The elder laughed heartily, "Then I shall take your auspicious words to heart."
This strike was immensely powerful; everyone believed that the frail Foundation Establishment cultivator could not possibly survive such an attack. Even Lu Mingyuan turned his head away, tears brimming in his eyes as he gritted his teeth in silence.
However, as the smoke cleared, that slender figure suddenly moved. Slowly propping himself up with his sword, he sat cross-legged and closed his eyes to regulate his breathing.
A mysterious wave of spiritual energy emanated from him, frantically repairing the damaged flesh on his body.
Seeing this scene, everyone widened their eyes in disbelief.
Was he about to break through? Achieving a breakthrough in the midst of battle—ascending to Golden Core—this was unprecedented!
In contrast to this event, Yufeng's earlier move seemed less remarkable.
Yufeng clenched his teeth and raised his sword, aiming for Qixiao's heart. No matter how formidable Qixiao was, as long as he was dead, everything would be buried with him. That was right—he just had to die!
Lu Mingyuan's eyes bulged as if they would burst; however, the muscles on his face trembled, and he couldn't utter a single word.
Just as the tip of Yufeng's sword was about to pierce Qixiao's heart, a terrifying pressure enveloped the area and froze the blade in place.
Yufeng's face turned red; no matter how hard he tried, he couldn't push it forward even a fraction.
Qixiao's eyelids twitched as he prepared to rise when a hand gently landed on his shoulder and patted him.
"Focus on your breakthrough. I will handle things here."
