Dragon Hidden in the Sky

Chapter 1426 Feeding the opponent?

Just by standing there, Ye Qing could feel his internal energy constantly increasing.

He took a deep breath and said, "This place is indeed very suitable for cultivation. With the rewards I received before, plus the energy of heaven and earth here, I might be able to break through to the peak of the Domain Lord realm in no time!"

Just then, he noticed an old man sitting cross-legged on the stone forest in the distance!

The old man looked him up and down, then smiled slightly and said, "You are indeed quite capable to have reached this level. However, if you want to challenge the divine souls of the ten directions, you still have to get past this old man first!"

The old man looked kind and approachable.

Ye Qing smiled slightly and said, "Old man, let's go! Let me see what you're capable of!"

"Hmm?" The old man's pupils contracted slightly as he said, "You brat, you really are arrogant!"

As he spoke, he clenched his five fingers slightly, and in an instant, a long sword instantly condensed on his right hand. The next moment, an extremely domineering sword intent burst forth from his body.

"The fourth level of sword intent!" Ye Qing was slightly surprised.

Yes, the sword intent displayed by this old man was at the fourth level, and along with the surge of his sword intent, his aura also surged out instantly!

In terms of the strength of his true energy, Ye Qing felt that it was even more profound than Gu Xiaoge's!

Ye Qing felt a slight tremor in his heart.

This is definitely the kind of true qi that only someone who cultivates both martial arts and the path of awakening can possess. This has completely surpassed the peak of a typical domain lord, and is even a level stronger.

With the sword intent also at the fourth level, this configuration is top-tier among domain lords.

Ye Qing knew that he was definitely several levels better than Gu Xiaoge back then.

However, I am much stronger now than before. This strength comes not only from the improvement in my fist intent, but also from the tremendous progress in my true qi over this period of time.

He slowly exhaled, and the black boxing gloves on his body slowly emerged.

At the same time, the Ghost-Slaying Blade appeared in his hand, and his sword intent slowly poured out!

"Zizzizi!"

"strengthen!"

Ye Qing let out a low shout, and his whole body grew larger. At the same time, the power of the Sea Heart Flame and thunder quickly wrapped around Ye Qing's hands.

"Blade intent? Your fist intent and sword intent are both at the fourth level. You choose to fight me with blade intent?" the old man asked, his expression shifting.

Ye Qing looked at the other party with great interest and said, "How do you know that my fist intent and sword intent are both at the fourth level?"

The old man was taken aback, then smiled and said, "Guess what? If I'm not mistaken, you're planning to temper your sword intent, and you want to use me as your stepping stone! That might cost you your life!"

As they were talking, he moved his feet and his figure became ethereal, instantly heading straight for Ye Qing.

Upon seeing the newcomer, Ye Qing uttered a low shout: "Mind reading!"

In the next instant, he raised his sword and moved to the right to defend himself!

"clang!"

The powerful true energy and the sword intent collided instantly, and Ye Qing was blasted away!

"Interesting!" The old man charged again.

Ye Qing was not afraid at all; he quickly raised his sword and continued to resist.

"clang!"

"clang!"

"clang!"

……

The faint sounds of collisions echoed continuously between heaven and earth.

"With the added benefits of martial arts and the six characteristics of the Chaos Dao Tree, you have already achieved a true qi strength exceeding that of most peak Domain Lords in the late stage of Domain Lord!" The old man said in a low voice as he made his move, "Your fist intent and sword intent have both reached the fourth level. Your talent is indeed excellent. In this vast universe, countless Venerables and Saints may not be able to reach this level in weapon intent. You are indeed very strong, kid!"

"If your sword intent can reach the fourth level, and you then break through to the peak of the Domain Lord realm, you might become the strongest peak Domain Lord expert in history. Even if Shi Fang personally guards the eighth level, you will still be able to kill him!"

Clearly, the old man was fighting with ease; his attacks were incredibly fast, suppressing Ye Qing.

He was talking while he was fighting!

Ye Qing was indeed at a disadvantage, both in terms of the strength of his true qi and his sword intent. However, thanks to the diversity of his characteristics, he was not good at offense, but he was good at defense.

"Is the Ten Directions Demon Emperor stronger than you at the peak of the Domain Lord level?" Ye Qing asked.

He felt that the old man in front of him was already terrifying enough; he was even stronger than Gu Xiaoge.

The old man said calmly, "Shifang is an ancient demon beast. His physical body is incredibly terrifying. Even the attacks of a Domain Lord at their limit cannot harm him in the slightest. He has a bloodline inheritance, and every move he makes is at the limit of a Domain Lord. Naturally, he is several points stronger than me! You still have the mind to care about the next level? Do you think you can get past me? You underestimate me!"

"Your strike was weak and feeble. A sword is a weapon of power and a killing instrument. You'd be better off not using a sword at all. Where is your domineering spirit? A sword is about expansive and powerful strikes. If you're like this, go practice swordsmanship!"

He attacked Ye Qing while verbally harassing her.

Ye Qing wanted to start cursing.

But it was too late for him.

As time went by, Ye Qing discovered a problem!

He realized that the old man didn't seem to be using his full strength; it was more like he was feeding him his moves!

Upon realizing this, he paused in surprise.

Although he didn't know why, how could he give up such an opportunity!

His heart sank slightly as he continued to exchange blows, carefully sensing the changes in his opponent's sword intent!

The two fought from morning until night.

They were just exchanging ordinary blows, hardly using any killing moves, but even so, Ye Qing found that his true energy was almost depleted!

"clang!"

After another collision, Ye Qing was thrown back. The old man stood at a distance, panting slightly, and said, "Today we are evenly matched. Both of us have exhausted our true energy. How about we rest for the night and continue fighting tomorrow?"

"Hmm?" Ye Qing looked at him strangely. Although he didn't know why the old man said that, he still nodded and said, "Alright then!"
