Chapter 1126: Everyone has their own plans
At this moment, the Immortal Flood of Aurora in the sky was still suppressing Xu Qing, forming a stalemate with the cycle of the five elements.
But Xu Qing knew that this stalemate would only last for a short time.
Ten breaths at most!
There was only one way to completely break the Immortal Flood of Aurora, and that was to kill Li Mengtu.
As long as the target died, the spell would automatically dissipate.
Therefore, the moment Li Mengtu retreated ā¦
Xu Qing's entire body turned into an afterimage as he whistled through the air at an astonishing speed, creating a sharp sonic boom.
It was so fast that even time seemed to slow down.
The coldness in his eyes increased as his left hand formed a seal and pressed down.
Suddenly, the power of space appeared.
The color of the world changed, the wind rose, the clouds surged, the void churned, and one grid after another appeared.
These grids formed independent spaces that appeared around Li Mengtu, blocking his escape, preventing him from teleporting, and suppressing his counterattack.
Li Mengtu was shocked.
He knew that this Xu Qing was no ordinary person. Back on the Dao cliff, he had received the order to bind Xu Qing, and had made preparations to deal with him. Even so, he still found it difficult to deal with him.
When fighting Xu Qing, one needed to be fully concentrated and not relax in the slightest. Because so long as one was careless and allowed Xu Qing to seize an opportunity, then what awaited one would be an explosion that could topple mountains and overturn seas like the one before one.
It just so happened that the other party was good at finding opportunities.
In this way, the strength of his mental state surpassed the battle that made him famous all those years ago.
These thoughts flashed through Li Mengtu's mind, but they did not affect his counterattack. Even though the space around him was isolated, Li Mengtu bit the tip of his tongue and spat out a mouthful of blood.
He used his own blood to cast a spell, forming blood-colored runes that suddenly exploded forward.
At the same time, the Flowers in the Mirror circled around his body, each shining brightly as they prepared to resist the coming storm.
However ā¦ unless Xu Qing's method was perfect and flawless, it would be difficult for him to succeed a second time.
Clearly, the Flower in the Mirror wasn't perfect.
The first time Li Mengtu had used it, he had been able to catch the other party off guard. However, the second time he used it, Xu Qing had already noticed that something was amiss.
It wasn't a Karma technique, but a technique that contained the power of space.
The principle behind it was to use the refraction method to form overlapping spaces. Thus, it was able to silently and unknowingly lead to harm.
In this way, although the flaws were hidden deeply, they still existed.
This flaw was the refraction and the invisible overlapping space.
As for the latter, Xu Qing also formed a lattice with spatial power to isolate it.
Xu Qing had summoned Xiao Ying to deal with this.
Xiao Ying's body turned dark and instantly enlarged, forming a cover.
As a result, what was reflected by the Flower in the Mirror was pitch black, and the overlapping space was also isolated, unable to overflow and truly form.
All of this took a long time to describe, but it all happened in the blink of an eye.
In that instant, the Flower in the Mirror was restricted, and Xu Qing's immortal art was about to explode.
The first was the Six Thieves Delusions.
The Seven Emotions and Six Desires formed by this Immortal Art were like devils that exploded in Li Mengtu's mind, tainting his emotions, devouring his will and polluting his Dao Heart.
Then, it was the Five Dog Immortal.
The strange dog entered his house and entered his memories.
It formed a door, causing the greedy dog to roar and rush in.
Bind his soul.
After that, the Mad Dog was formed, wanting to fall into the abyss of life and death. When the Evil Dog arrived, wanting to fall into the abyss of hell.
In the end, when the dog appeared, he would lose his human body forever!
Li Mengtu let out a mournful cry.
His face twisted, and his body trembled violently. In all the battles he had fought in his entire life, he had never encountered a magical technique like this. More accurately speaking, this was no magical technique.
It was more like a strange curse!
This caused him to bleed from his seven orifices. His three souls and seven spirits were wailing in agony, and his memories fell into chaos.
However, Xu Qing's killing move had yet to end. It had only just begun.
He had restricted the Bewitching Flower in the Mirror, used an immortal technique to confuse souls, and then used a world-shaking sword qi.
Old Ninth had given Xu Qing three flashes of sword energy, and this was the last one.
The Sword Qi shone brightly in the sky, forming an unstoppable force. It turned into a sharp sword shadow that broke through everything and slashed at Li Mengtu.
Li Mengtu's body trembled. A wound appeared on his chest, and blood gushed out.
Then, the Golden Crow raised a monstrous black flame that formed a black spear. Xu Qing rushed out of the black flame and grabbed it.
He unleashed all of his cultivation base, causing both time and space to rise.
It gathered in his body and fused into the spear.
A spear thrust forward!
A thunderous boom reverberated through the air as the spear pierced into the spot where Old Ninth's sword qi had broken through.
It sank into his flesh, touched his heart, and directly pierced through!
The aurora dispersed, and the five elements returned.
However, Xu Qing's face did not reveal the slightest hint of relaxation. Instead, his pupils shrank. Without hesitation, he gave up on the idea of destroying the corpse and abruptly retreated.
His speed was incredible, and he was off into the distance in the blink of an eye.
Just as he retreated, a terrifying explosion suddenly spread out from Li Mengtu's corpse.
It covered a thousand miles.
Everything within a thousand miles was annihilated!
Xu Qing's face was solemn. At this moment, even from a thousand miles away, he could still feel the terrifying explosive force ahead.
If he had been just a little slower, he would have been seriously injured even if he didn't die.
At the same time, a hoarse voice slowly came from the Land of Annihilation in front of Xu Qing.
"To be able to force me to use my third Authority power, you are indeed extraordinary!"
As his voice echoed, Li Mengtu walked out from the Land of Annihilation.
His clothes were torn, but the injuries on his body ā¦ had all disappeared.
Whether it was his aura, condition, or cultivation, they were all at their peak.
This was his third Authority power. This was a heaven-defying Authority power, and its name was Rebirth!
As he strode forward, Li Mengtu looked at Xu Qing. There was a serious look in his eyes, as well as a complicated look.
"Before I met you, I thought that my aptitude was already at the peak. Even if there were people who surpassed me, they wouldn't be able to surpass me by too much.
"Until today ā¦ My cultivation base is at the early stages of the Sovereign Realm, while your cultivation base is at the late stages of the Soul Accumulation Realm. Our battle prowess is about the same, so in terms of talent, I am inferior to you. However, in this world, there is only relative fairness, and nothing is absolute."
"There's no need for so much nonsense."
Xu Qing said calmly.
After experiencing the Sovereign who had used words to create a restrictive spell formation, Xu Qing was very wary of such methods. Therefore, as he interrupted the Sovereign, his eyes glittered as he used the Authority of Erasure.
He erased all traces of his surroundings.
Seeing this, Li Mengtu's gaze deepened. He suddenly raised his right hand and waved it forward.
Immediately, the fragrance of flowers filled the air. With Li Mengtu as the center, countless flowers appeared out of thin air in the dark world, spreading out for millions of miles.
The boundless area was transformed into a sea of flowers.
As for the flowers inside ā¦ some were beautiful, some were ugly, some seemed to be rotten, and some were extremely ferocious.
And they were all ā¦ poisonous flowers and plants!
As for the fragrance of the flowers, it was the scent of countless poisonous plants. After they were mixed together, they formed a poison!
The poison was shocking, and it instantly erupted, enveloping Xu Qing within.
If it were any other person, they would definitely be in a life and death crisis. However, Xu Qing's own Dao of Plants and Vegetation was already very skilled. Although he didn't have any medicinal herbs on him, he had a large number of medicinal pills.
Medicinal pills were formed from plants and vegetation, and contained the materials he needed.
With a wave of his hand, Xu Qing produced a large number of medicinal pills, each of which had been specially selected. As soon as they appeared, he crushed them and extracted the required materials, which he used to cover the area. Then, he used his own understanding to mix and mix the ingredients.
Thus, he could neutralize the poison in this place.
Due to time constraints, he was unable to resolve it completely, but he was still able to maintain his fighting prowess within the sea of flowers.
However, even as Xu Qing's medicinal pills began to neutralize the poison, Li Mengtu took a step forward. Sonic booms could be heard as he crossed the 500-kilometer mark to appear directly in front of Xu Qing.
A punch landed.
Xu Qing raised his head and counterattacked.
Deafening booms immediately echoed out. Li Mengtu attacked like a storm, not stopping at all. Sometimes he used his physical body, sometimes he used magical techniques. He didn't even try to defend himself.
This method was completely different from before.
In the face of this fierce battle, Xu Qing also gave it his all. The black spear in his hand flashed, and the powers of the Five Elements intertwined and erupted, causing the power of time and space to fluctuate.
In an instant, the two sides were exchanging blows in the air. It was an extremely dangerous situation.
The rumbling did not stop for even half a breath.
Injuries naturally appeared on Xu Qing's body, body, and soul at the same time as the two of them attacked each other.
Blood gushed out of his mouth unceasingly.
But the strange thing was ā¦ Li Mengtu was completely unharmed!
To be more precise, every time an injury appeared, it would immediately heal as if it had been reborn!
It was as if he possessed the heavenly Rebirth power and could regenerate limitlessly.
This scene caused Xu Qing's heart to sink.
The power of the Authority Rebirth was already heaven-defying in the first place, yet he was still able to maintain this power of the Authority Rebirth ā¦ This kind of ability could no longer be described as heaven-defying.
Xu Qing had never seen it before.
It was also not in line with his understanding.
However, he had a similar ability, which was Time Reversal. Therefore, he had his own understanding of this technique.
"My Time Reversal is also heaven-defying, so I can't use it a second time within a short period of time. Then this Li Meng ā¦
"It's impossible for his authority to come without a price."
"This effect won't last for long. Once it loses its effect, the price will definitely appear!"
Thinking of this, Xu Qing gritted his teeth and switched from an offensive state to a defensive one. Under the storm of attacks, he kept retreating.
Although he managed to buy some time, Li Mengtu's attacks were getting fiercer and fiercer, causing Xu Qing's injuries to worsen. In the end, he was completely covered in blood.
Seeing this, Li Mengtu's eyes flickered.
He knew that his Authority Rebirth was extraordinary, and he could maintain this state for a period of time. However, there was a huge price to pay. Once this state disappeared, he would suffer a backlash.
Moreover, he couldn't use it a second time within a short period of time.
Although he didn't seem to care much about Xu Qing's time reversal, he was inwardly on guard. Therefore, he had two goals in mind when he attacked.
First, although his words at the beginning had wasted his time, he had also delayed Xu Qing's time.
According to his judgment, there must be a time limit for this time reversal. At most, it would be the time it takes for an incense stick to burn. It couldn't be too long, and there was a high probability that it would only last for a few dozen breaths.
Secondly, based on his judgment of the time reversal, he didn't use any of his killing moves. Instead, he attacked continuously, causing his opponent's injuries to stack.
In this way, even if Xu Qing could reverse time, as long as he felt that his injuries were not fatal and hesitated, he would miss the time. He would not be able to reverse time to his peak state, and would only be able to reverse time to the time when he was injured.
It was a vicious cycle.
"Then next, we can really test whether he has the ability or not!"
"If there is, we might have to use that method ā¦"
"If not, this battle is over!"
With this in mind, Li Mengtu estimated the amount of time he had left in the Heavenly Rebirth. Then, he suddenly raised a hand and made a grabbing motion, upon which a wooden sculpture appeared.
The wooden carving was pitch-black and emitted an evil aura. The carving was of an old man.
It was vivid and lifelike.
The old man's facial features were distorted, and his face was filled with extreme pain. His body was twisted in an irregular manner, as if he was on the verge of death.
The instant Li Mengtu took out the wooden carving, he did something that made Xu Qing's heart sink.
Li Mengtu held the wooden sculpture in one hand while his other hand reached into his chest and grabbed his heart. He pulled it out and squeezed it hard!
