Shangyang Cave Heaven.
Long Xiaofeng stared intently at Jiang Ning.
Jiang Ning then also looked at him.
"Lord Jiang, you are very strong!!" Long Xiaofeng suddenly spoke earnestly.
Hearing Long Xiaofengâs words, Ye Zhengqi and Zhong Yue also looked at the two.
"You are strong too!" Jiang Ning said.
"Yes, I am strong too!" Long Xiaofeng smiled at the remark and then said, "Originally, I thought that the true disciple of Qingyang Sect was the strongest opponent here in my eyes, but now it seems that you are!"
Seeing Jiang Ningâs gaze, Long Xiaofengâs face displayed a bold expression: "I have always liked to leave the strongest opponent for last, so Iâve decided to leave you for last to determine the victor!"
Upon hearing these words, Jiang Ning could feel Long Xiaofengâs sincerity and integrity.
"What does Brother Long intend to do?" Jiang Ning immediately asked.
"Of course, Iâll eliminate him first!" Long Xiaofeng spoke, looking at Xie Yang on the hill.
Upon hearing this, Xie Yangâs face changed suddenly.
"Brother Long, Lord Jiang is our strongest opponent, and in my opinion, neither you nor I can match him! How about we join forces to eliminate him first, and then settle the score between usâwouldnât that be great?"
Long Xiaofeng scoffed, "We martial artists never resort to the tactics of many against few! If I am to win, I want to win honorably and openly. You underestimate Long Xiaofeng!"
Subsequently, he suddenly looked at Jiang Ning: "Lord Jiang, I will fight you later!"
The words fell.
Long Xiaofeng moved suddenly.
The clouds follow the dragon; the wind follows the tiger.
With this move, Long Xiaofengâs dragon roar exploded in the void, and a pale cyan dragon soul shadow appeared around him.
At this moment, Long Xiaofengâs movement technique was extraordinarily elusive.
With one flicker, he suddenly appeared several yards away.
In an instant, he appeared more than ten yards away.
There were absolutely no traces of mid-action movement.
"Nine Appearances of the Cloud Dragon, a peerless skill!!" Zhong Yueâs expression was grave.
"So, he wasnât even serious just now!" Ye Zhengqiâs expression was also tense.
"Technically speaking, isnât this person younger than both of us?" Zhong Yue said with some sigh.
"Yes!" Ye Zhengqi nodded.
"Itâs truly a case of new generations replacing the old!" Hearing Ye Zhengqiâs answer, Zhong Yue sighed with emotion.
"Speaking of new generations replacing the old, who can compare to him?" Ye Zhengqi looked at Jiang Ning with a calm expression.
...
On the other side.
Xie Yang saw Long Xiaofeng quickly approaching, and his face suddenly changed dramatically.
He could sense that Long Xiaofeng was serious, without any intention of holding back.
Buzz!
He immediately performed a sword technique, Spiritual Power surging around him, his Divine Thought bursting forth.
Whoosh, whoosh, whooshâ
Flying swords pierced the sky, and the continuous sub-swords transformed into a dragon, attacking Long Xiaofeng.
After one breath.
Breakâ
Xie Yang immediately shouted.
In mid-air, the initially unordered sub-swords instantly changed formation and quickly combined into two large swords.
One sword was purple, entwined with electric arcs.
The other was crimson, with flames emerging.
The symbols on the two large swords shone brightly, filled with mysterious patterns, intertwining in mid-air to attack Long Xiaofeng.
The next moment.
Boom!!
Long Xiaofeng collided, and the two large swords instantly disintegrated, scattering into countless small swords.
Faced with the frontal impact, Long Xiaofengâs figure also suddenly halted.
On the other side.
Xie Yangâs expression changed, his aura fluctuating.
"Brother Long, is there room for negotiation?" he asked earnestly.
"Fight!" Long Xiaofeng declared.
"Alright!" Xie Yang also nodded seriously, "Since Brother Long wants to fight, then let us fight!!"
As the words fell.
Rumble, rumbleâ
Suddenly, a rumbling sound arose from all directions.
Wisps of clouds and mist emerged from all sides, filling the space between heaven and earth.
Long Xiaofeng glanced around and saw phantoms manifesting and appearing in the east, west, and north directions.
The east was the Azure Dragon.
The west was the White Tiger.
The north was the Black Tortoise.
He turned back, at this moment unable to see Jiang Ning and the others.
Chirp!!
A phoenix cry sounded, and the Vermilion Bird flapped its wings in the air, engulfed in flames.
"Is this the array?" Long Xiaofengâs expression was solemn.
"Indeed!" Xie Yang stood at the top, nodding downward, "This is the true Four Spirits Array, originally prepared to deal with Jiang Ning. Since Brother Long is so persistent, I can only let you experience the power of the Four Spirits Array."
As he spoke.
Xie Yangâs aura began to rise steadily.
In just a few breaths, Xie Yangâs aura was as vast as an abyss, a mountain, an ocean.
Waves of energy spread in all directions, resembling tides.
"Such a strong aura!" Long Xiaofeng couldnât help but feel intense.
"Is this the power of the array?" He was somewhat amazed in his heart.
He could sense that in a short moment, Xie Yangâs aura had surged by seventy to eighty percent, even doubling.
This meant that Xie Yangâs strength at this moment was nearly twice what it was before.
Moreover, he could feel that countless Spiritual Energies within the array were converging towards Xie Yangâs location.
This meant that within this array, Xie Yang feared no exhaustion.
His heart also grew several degrees heavier.
At this moment.
In the midst and fast enjoyment of the arrayâs empowerment, Xie Yangâs face suddenly changed.
"Jiang Ning, how dare you!!" Xie Yang roared.
"Why wouldnât I dare?" Jiang Ningâs voice came from behind Long Xiaofengâs ear and reached Xie Yangâs as well.
The next moment.
Long Xiaofeng saw the Vermilion Birdâs shadow behind him cry a few times, then began to disperse with a flap of its wings.
"Jiang Ning is breaking the array??" Long Xiaofeng was stunned.
Then, he witnessed at the moment the Vermilion Bird shadow disappeared, the clouds and mist engulfing the surroundings also dissipating accordingly.
And saw Jiang Ning toss a piece of white Crystal Stone into his mouth, giving him a smile.
"Brother Long, Xie Yang set up the Four Spirits Array in advance; this is unfair to you, so Iâve intervened to remove this unfairness!"
As he spoke.
Jiang Ning tightly gripped the treasured sword he had just pulled out.
