Chapter 57: The Secret of Yi Garden (Part 1)
The sky, the five-colored magic sword layered and stacked, like flowing water, continuously launched a crazy attack on Lu Yun. The colorful magic swords changed shape in the entire Tianxu Cave, forming a mysterious magic array that was dazzling to the eyes. Swordless Dust's hands were fully exerted, displaying the Extinction Heaven Technique, countless magic swords under his control, carrying powerful might, densely packed and impenetrable, forming a strong offensive outside Lu Yun's body.
On this side, Lu Yun's eyes were dancing with red flames, and his hands were supporting the light ball that exceeded three zhang in diameter. The Nine Heavens Divine Thunder was still crazily striking down, but every time it struck the light ball, the light ball would undergo some strange changes. Only to see that the dazzling strong light of the light ball was constantly growing, with electric sparks flying around like flowers, and layers of light rotating and flowing, looking very beautiful, yet filled with extreme danger.
At this moment, Lu Yun's eyes turned cold, and a cold smile hung on the corner of his mouth as he began to counterattack. The light ball above him, filled with thunderous power, was constantly emitting dense thunderclaps, countless sparks crackling in the air. When those magic swords approached, the light ball's radiance flowed and transformed, releasing an untold number of electric lights that shot out in all directions, perfectly meeting the untold number of magic swords.
The sky suddenly presented a strange scene, with countless colorful magic swords and flashing electric sparks colliding fiercely between Lu Yun and Jian Wucheng, neither side giving an inch as they clashed wildly.
The ground, everyone's heart, was tense at this moment. Especially the people of Tiān Jiàn Yuàn and Yì Yuán, were worriedly looking at their respective disciples, wishing they could put all their strength into them.
Cang Yue looked at Lu Yun, shocked to the core. Lu Yun possessed such a shocking technique, yet no one knew about it before coming to the Tian Jian Academy's competition. Glancing at Ao Xue, Cang Yue understood that even Ao Xue and the people from Yi Yuan didn't know about the technique Lu Yun was currently using. Regardless of the outcome of this battle, it seemed that Lu Yun wouldn't be able to leave without explaining the origin of this technique, or else Tian Jian Academy would not let him off easily. Thinking of this, Cang Yue couldn't help but softly sigh, looking at Lu Yun in mid-air with a silent blessing floating in her heart.
It seemed that she had sensed the gaze of Cang Yue, and Ao Xue turned around to look at her. The two women's eyes met in mid-air. A thread of worry, a strand of concern, a blessing, and a message from the heart were all clearly revealed in each other's eyes. Without opening their mouths or exchanging greetings, they simply nodded to each other, with faint smiles floating in their eyes. Ao Xue gently turned her head back, gazing at the horizon, with threads of emotions intertwined with deep concern, silently revealing themselves in her eyes.
Jian Wuchen's hands suddenly rose high, and his eyes flashed with an ominous and terrifying expression. Looking at the light ball on top of Lu Yun's head that was slowly shrinking, Jian Wuchen had already felt an extremely dangerous crisis and knew he couldn't delay any longer.
The entire body burst into a hundredfold of colorful light, Sword Dust let out a loud roar and said: "Lu Yun, admit defeat!" In the midst of the loud roar, the purple light pillar on top of his head, which contained the power to destroy heaven, was controlled by Sword Dust's hands and fiercely chopped down towards Lu Yun in mid-air. At the horizon, a purple light pillar that pierced through the heavens and earth, containing destructive power, burst forth with an earth-shaking might, tearing across the sky and rapidly chopping downwards.
On this side, the light ball on top of Lu Yun's head was undergoing tremendous changes. As the number of heavenly nine-day thunderbolts striking down decreased, their power grew greater, and with each strike, the entire light ball shrank in size. However, as the light ball shrunk, the astonishing power it contained rapidly condensed. In just a blink of an eye, the light ball on top of Lu Yun's head transformed into a three-foot-diameter electric sphere. Emitting a radiance comparable to that of a blazing sun, accompanied by a destructive wild explosive force, it quietly revolved above Lu Yun.
Looking at Jian Wucheng's full-force attack, Lu Yun coldly said: "It's you who should admit defeat, not me. Take this!" After speaking, he used both hands to support the light ball on his head and launched it at Jian Wucheng with all his might. In mid-air, Jian Wucheng's purple light pillar was surrounded by countless colorful magic swords. Five rays of light formed a five-element formation, fully coordinating with the purple light pillar, frantically attacking Lu Yun. Meanwhile, the light ball emitted by Lu Yun refracted through the thunder and lightning at the horizon, bursting into numerous light pillars that clashed with the five rays of light.
The lightning-illuminated light pillar and the five differently colored light dragons collided violently in mid-air, producing a shocking and earth-shaking explosion. Countless rays of light danced across the sky, canceling each other out, shattering, and dispersing amidst their battle. When Swordless Dust's majestic purple light pillar met Land Cloud's destructive light sphere in mid-air, both sides refused to yield, engaging in an all-out confrontation.
However, it only lasted for a short while, and in the midst of intense explosions, the purple light pillar was knocked back up into the air. In an instant, the light flashed, and the purple light pillar suddenly transformed into a giant purple dragon, which let out a roar towards the sky before pouncing on the light ball once again.
On the other hand, the light ball also turned back and was struck by a lightning bolt with a diameter of six feet when it retreated three zhang. A strong light flashed, and at the same time that everyone temporarily lost their sight, the light ball first expanded to twice its size, then shrunk to one-third its original size, transforming into a beam of light that shot straight at the giant purple dragon that was charging towards them.
When everyone opened their eyes again and looked up at the sky, they saw a purple dragon and a glowing orb spinning around each other in mid-air. From afar, it was as if a divine dragon was playing with a pearl, extremely beautiful. Just as everyone was amazed, the purple dragon suddenly opened its mouth and swallowed the orb in one swift motion. This caused everyone's expressions to change drastically, anxiously guessing the final outcome.
Look up at the sky, Jian Wucheng's face was pale and bloodless, his lips tightly pursed, obviously exerting all his strength to control the purple dragon. On the other hand, Lu Yun, who was facing him, was now looking at Jian Wucheng with a cold expression, revealing a hint of coldness in his eyes, and a mysterious smile hanging from the corner of his mouth.
A deafening roar shook the heavens. The purple dragon suddenly went mad, twisting its body in the sky and letting out a terrified scream. Around its body, amidst the dazzling purple light, sparks of lightning flashed faintly. Finally, under everyone's shocked gaze, a blinding flash of lightning appeared on the purple dragon's body. A deafening crash shook the earth as the massive body of the purple dragon exploded in mid-air with a mournful cry, turning into scattered rays of light drifting through the air. At the same time as the explosion, a brilliant bolt of lightning from within the purple dragon struck Swordless Dust in mid-air.
The sky, a beautiful and enchanting rainbow-colored glow floating everywhere, the dark clouds in the sky quickly dispersed with a loud explosion, and the entire dark sky was once again restored to brightness. In mid-air, Lu Yun's body swayed slightly before stabilizing, standing quietly in the void. All around, those dazzling electric balls continued to emit dense thunderclaps, enveloping Lu Yun in their midst. At the horizon, the five-colored divine dragon had vanished without a trace, leaving behind only its soul, surrounded by raging flames, coiling above Lu Yun and occasionally letting out a mighty roar.
On this side, Jian Wucheng's body shook violently as the purple dragon exploded, spitting out a mouthful of blood. His body instantly withered away. From afar, his handsome face now looked dull and lifeless, his eyes devoid of spirit. When he was struck by the lightning bolt, his clothes were quickly charred, and under the powerful electrical attack, he was heavily slammed into the ground. On top of his head, the Tianling Sword let out a weak hum, its faint five-colored glow disappearing in an instant.
All around, everyone stared blankly at the scene, completely forgetting their due reaction. Suddenly, Lin Yunfeng shouted wildly: "We won! We won! Haha, Lu Yun is victorious! Lu Yun is victorious!" The excited voice quickly spread throughout the venue.
As he let out a loud whoop, everyone in Yi Garden erupted into cheers. Even the normally calm Ao Xue and Jing Yue Master couldn't help but let out excited shouts. Xuan Yu True Person and Zi Yang True Person were overjoyed to the point of tears welling up in their eyes, so excited they didn't know what they were shouting about. After all these years, Yi Garden had finally reached the pinnacle of the Six Institutes because of Lu Yun - what a wonderful thing this was!
