Chapter 145: Fang Xue Battles the Holy Son

At this moment, streaks of rainbow light swept across the sky and slowly descended upon the Secluded Place.

When everyone saw who was riding those rays of light, they immediately cried out in astonishment:

“It’s the Peak Masters of the other eight peaks! They all came to watch the battle!”

“Of course, with this being a duel between the two top-ranked Peak Masters among the Ten Peaks, the other eight naturally have to be present.”

“This will be a good show. I’ve heard that Senior Sister Fang Xue is the number one beauty in the sect. I wonder if we’ll be lucky enough to catch a glimpse.”

As the crowd buzzed with discussions, another ray of rainbow light rose from the deepest part of the sect and quickly descended to the scene.

This time, everyone was even more shocked upon seeing the newcomers.

It was because they were members of the Family Clans within the sect.

“The Family Clans have sent people too?”

“I wonder which clan they’re from.”

“To think that the duel between these two disciples has even drawn the attention of the Family Clans... It seems those at the top are watching their every move closely.”

“Look over there, another group from a Family Clan has arrived! There’s even a young man with them!”

One person suddenly cried out, pointing at the fourth descending rainbow light.

That ray of light revealed an old man with white hair and beard, accompanied by a young boy.

The youth wore an ornate brocade robe, with both a saber and a sword hanging at his waist.

He looked at the crowd with an arrogant expression, full of disdain.

If Gu Fan had been there, he would have immediately recognized this person as Lin Yi, whom he hadn’t seen in a long time.

“Master Ancestor, is this Holy Son really that strong? Is he truly worthy of such admiration?”

“Little Lin Yi, I know you’re worried about your friend Gu Fan, but you are not yet a match for the Holy Son. Don’t even think about me letting you challenge him.”

“Heh, Master Ancestor, you must be joking. I’m not worried about Brother Gu’s safety at all. To be honest, I think it’s the Holy Son who should be worrying about his own safety.”

The white-haired elder raised an eyebrow, then looked at Lin Yi with a smile and said:

“You trust your friend that much? The Holy Son is the strongest disciple in the history of Brahma God Sect. To be frank, the sect’s future is pinned on him. Are you sure your friend can compare to someone like that?”

“Haha, Master Ancestor doesn’t understand Brother Gu, but I do. He’s the strongest peer I’ve ever seen. The Holy Son just happens to have the advantage of age. If they were the same age, not to mention Brother Gu, even I might not necessarily lose!”

The white-haired elder chuckled and did not continue arguing.

This Lin Yi was excellent in every aspect, except for his blind confidence in that Gu Fan.

But then again, the boy did have the qualifications to be confident. After joining the Zhu Family, a family test revealed his hidden potential—he possessed an exceptionally rare constitution.

It was the long-lost Dual Mastery Body.

This physique allowed one to multitask perfectly, cultivating two paths with one body.

In simple terms, he could train in two main techniques simultaneously!

While some people could switch from one cultivation technique to another if they found a better one—known as technique switching—Lin Yi was different. He could practice two primary techniques at once and even switch both if he found better ones later on.

This was one of the reasons he had mastered both saber and sword in the Lower Realm.

After reaching the Upper Realm, Lin Yi’s special constitution was fully awakened. With systematic training and the addition of a more powerful technique, his strength skyrocketed.

He had already broken through to the True Yang Realm!

The further he progressed, the stronger this physique would become. He might even master two different Daos through his dual cultivation.

Seeing that the elder didn’t speak further, Lin Yi also fell silent.

Just like he said, he truly wasn’t concerned about Gu Fan’s life or death.

In his eyes, killing Gu Fan was practically an impossibility.

There was no reason, just a sense of duty.

As the two conversed, streaks of rainbow light kept descending upon the Secluded Place. Upon closer inspection, a total of seven Family Clans had arrived.

Finally, after everyone had waited for nearly one incense stick’s time, rainbow lights rose from both Holy Son Peak and Overlord Peak!

Everyone knew—these were the two main figures arriving!

In the next moment, the two rainbow lights, on their way toward the Secluded Place, repeatedly clashed mid-air, bursting out in successive waves of attacks.

By the time they neared the Secluded Place, the two had already exchanged dozens of blows.

Then, both landed within the battlefield. Fang Xue’s white robes were whiter than snow, her long black hair draped behind her, exuding a transcendent aura.

The Holy Son stood opposite Fang Xue, his posture upright, bearing radiant and refined; divine light encircled behind him, making his entire being resemble a banished immortal!

"Fang Xue, choosing this moment to fight me is truly unwise."

Fang Xue's expression was cold, without a hint of fluctuation.

"Fighting you—any time will do. Don’t overestimate yourself."

"I’ll say this to you one last time—Gu Fan brought it upon himself. I acted impartially, without any personal vendetta."

"Heh, what a claim of impartiality and fairness!"

Fang Xue sneered as she looked at the Holy Son.

"Your so-called impartiality is to flatter other sects while being ruthless toward your own sect’s disciples?"

"My Overlord Peak’s Nanyun was ambushed by Pure Radiance God Sect and the Gu Family together, why don’t you go settle accounts with them?"

"Yaochi and the Gu Family both testified. Only then was Gu Fan’s matter confirmed. But regarding Nanyun, the matter was claimed solely by him. One person’s words are not enough to convict."

The Holy Son’s expression remained calm and unshaken.

"Heh, what an impartial stance. Anyone who didn’t know better would think you cultivated with the resources of the other three families. My Brahma God Sect disciples truly have a fine Holy Son!"

Having spoken, Fang Xue slowly moved her hands.

"Enough talk. Ying Langtian, let’s fight!"

The Holy Son sighed softly, then swept his large hand, and a long spear appeared in his grip.

Fang Xue was not Gu Fan. At the same Half-step Yang Spirit realm, when facing her, Ying Langtian dared not be careless.

Fang Xue, on the other hand, gripped her jade-like hand, and in the void, a longsword resembling ice crystal appeared in her grasp.

"In that case, let’s battle!"

Once more, the two transformed into divine lights and collided.

Thunderous booms echoed continuously through the air.

Fang Xue wielded her sword, vanishing into the void, her ice-crystal-like divine sword slashing out divine rays at the Holy Son.

Ying Langtian’s spear moved like a dragon; each spear flower dispelled the oncoming attacks with ease.

"Sword Spirit Crossing!"

Fang Xue knew her strength lay in bursts. The Holy Son’s endurance in battle surpassed hers.

Not to mention, a sword cultivator’s dominance lay in ultimate attack and speed.

Thus, she had decided—this battle must be swift and decisive!

How could Ying Langtian not see through her plan? The two were old rivals of many years.

To put it bluntly, they even understood each other more deeply than friends.

The moment Fang Xue’s assault shifted, he immediately understood her intention.

He transformed into a golden-shrouded circular barrier, his entire being emanating an aura of complete harmony and returning to simplicity—Dao essence.

"Fang Xue, unless you reach the Three Blossoms Realm, you will never be my match!"

"Is that so? Then let’s test it!"

Buzz! Buzz! Buzz!!

Waves of sword cries resounded as countless sword lights hung upon the sky.

Like a torrential rain of sword light about to fall.

Only, if this rain were to fall upon someone, not even bones would remain!
