I made the entire cultivation world cry

Chapter 246 Beating Up Lian Zheng (Seeking Monthly Tickets)

Jiang Yi tried to explain to Hua Gu telepathically, but Zhen Shan Duan Jin, who was sitting on the table as a paperweight, couldn't hear her.

Zhenshan didn't think too much about it; he was just aroused by his fighting spirit and wanted to rush up and fight Lian Zheng, break off the single horn on his head, and make a horn for his wife to play with.

Duan Jin was overthinking things. She felt that the master was giving them a warning. Hong Li was usually disobedient, and the master didn't say anything on the surface, but found an opportunity to teach Hong Li a lesson as punishment.

In this way, since Hongli wasn't beaten by the master himself, she can't blame him. The master can then take the opportunity to reason with her and appease her, thus winning her heart.

The Lord's mind is unfathomable, and Duan Jin's awe of his lord deepened even further.

In the arena, Hong Li was once again blasted away by the beast-transformed Lian Zheng's claw. Sparks flew from her Crimson Sky Hunter Armor as she whimpered and rolled to the edge of the arena, a trace of blood oozing from the corner of her mouth.

Jiang Yi lightly lifted her fingertip, and a verdant light fell like spring rain.

The wounds inside and outside Hongli's body healed instantly. It shook its fur and shrank back to Jiang Yi's side, still shaken, and whimpered softly as it used its phantom escape ability.

The fierce light in the beast's eyes intensified, and the thunder horn suddenly turned towards Jiang Yi.

"I was planning to kill this stinking fox first before dealing with you, but I didn't expect you to know healing? Well then, I'll just have to eliminate you first, otherwise this will never end!"

Boom!

A bolt of blood-red lightning as thick as a bucket struck down from above Jiang Yi's head. Lian Zheng's figure flashed behind Jiang Yi like a ghost, his sharp claws carrying a stench as they went straight for his back.

Liu Taozhi, who was watching from below the stage, gasped for breath and nervously gripped the long sword in her hand.

Qi Tian and Feng Wuhen were also somewhat afraid to watch; Lian Zheng had just brutally beaten Hong Li, and the oppressive feeling was too strong.

Only Zhao Cangyun gripped the hilt of his sword at his waist, his cold eyes staring at Lian Zheng as if he were looking at a dead man.

but!
Jiang Yi did not stand up and dodge in a sorry state as everyone expected. Even the claws and blood lightning of the Zhen were shaken away by the invisible energy around Jiang Yi.

The blood lightning transformed into a sky full of scarlet arcs of electricity and vanished. Even the fiercest beast couldn't believe it, feeling as if its claws had struck a mountain, unable to advance any further!

An uproar erupted from the audience!

"What is this? How could it withstand that?"

"She didn't even use any magic spells. No wonder she said no one could make her stand up. With this level of defense, even a half-step Golden Core cultivator like Zhen couldn't break through it. What are we supposed to do then?!"

Lian Zheng had always thought that Jiang Yi was just a pretentious imposter, putting on airs with the things given to him by Danxi Zhenjun and the demon spirit.

Surprisingly, she's quite a tough nut to crack!
He's already made that boast; if he loses today, he'll be too ashamed to show his face!

Lian Zheng's eyes were ferocious, and the lightning horn on his head flashed wildly with blood-red light. He tore off another wolf tooth from his neck and crushed it.

Heavenly Prison Kill!

The wolf fangs exploded into a bloody mist, merging with the thunder horns. Nine crimson lightning bolts struck down from the clouds, transforming into spiraling lightning spears that formed a prison-like structure and blasted towards Jiang Yi!
The entire arena was cracked inch by inch by Lei Wei's pressure, and the protective array cracked open. The referee was horrified and hurriedly stepped in to stabilize the array, ready to stop the fight at any time.

At this moment, Jiang Yi raised her hand and plucked the strings of the zither.

Zheng!
The music of the Floating Life Qin amplified the Heavenly Gang Sword Qi stored in the Sword Nourishing Gourd, transforming it into the Big Dipper Formation to unleash a devastating attack.

The crimson lightning spear clashed fiercely with the sword energy, the burst of light blinding everyone, the shockwave overturning the stone slabs of the arena, and even Lian Zheng was forced back ten feet by the aftershock of the sword energy.

He touched his forehead in disbelief, his fingertips stained with demon blood. His thunder horn had been cut off by half an inch by the sword energy!
The whole place was dead silent.

When the smoke and dust cleared, Jiang Yi was still sitting upright in front of the low table, gently brushing away a speck of wood from the surface of the zither.

"Sound waves, sword energy, she actually... uses her zither to control a sword?"

Liu Tao was astonished, her gaze fixed intently on Jiang Yi, who stood calmly on the stage. That was sword energy, and the person on the stage was a sword cultivator.

Is she... the senior sister?
"What kind of monster has True Monarch Danxi taught?"

"He can slay demons, heal, possesses unpredictable defensive techniques, is proficient in music cultivation, and can even control a sword with his zither—is this a fake? He's even stronger than Jiang Fengying was back then!"

"Oh, I see! True Monarch Danxi isn't trying to cultivate imposters to disgust people; she wants to prove that the Crane Shadow she cultivated is several times stronger than the Phoenix Shadow of the Sword Sect! To prove that the Cangling Sect is indeed superior to the Xuanying Sword Sect!"

"True Monarch Danxi is amazing!!"

"You're awesome, my foot! I haven't lost yet!"

Lian Zheng roared, tore off the remaining wolf tooth necklace from his neck, crushed it into a bloody mist, and swallowed it in one gulp, mixed with lightning.

Boom!

Lian Zheng's body swelled again, his thunder horns extended to three feet, his muscles were bulging like cast iron, purple thunder patterns appeared on his skin, and his aura was approaching that of the early stage of the Golden Core realm.

He crossed his claws, and the blood lightning coiled around him like a giant python, wildly splashing lightning. He suddenly blasted nine spiral lightning spears at Jiang Yi, each one carrying a terrifying aura, causing cracks to spread across the protective array of the arena.

The crowd below the stage retreated in horror, trying to avoid the oppressive aura.

"Lian Zheng is going all out! This is a forbidden technique from Bai Zang Valley; once it's used, you'll be paralyzed for a month!"

Jiang Yi's eyes narrowed, and she placed her hands on the Floating Life Zither and began to play rapidly.

Strands of Heavenly Gang Sword Qi secretly flew out from the Sword Nourishing Gourd. The sword qi was invisible and shadowless, carrying the murderous intent of Heavenly Gang Subduing Demons, and collided fiercely with the blood-red lightning spear.

boom! boom! boom!
Amidst the bursting spiritual light, the crimson lightning spear was shredded inch by inch by the sword energy, and the dissipated lightning energy was splashed like blood rain. Even the fierce lightning horn was snapped in half again with a crack!
The Heavenly Gang Sword Qi nurtured in the Sword Nurturing Gourd is far superior to ordinary sword qi, and its power far exceeds the Foundation Establishment realm.

Seeing this, Hongli felt triumphant, but Huagu slapped her on the head, telling her to keep a close eye on things.

"impossible!"

Lian Zheng's eyes widened in horror. He had never seen such a powerful Foundation Establishment stage sword aura before. Even Jiang Fengying's sword aura could only leave cracks on his Thunder Horn.

Lian Zheng's figure flashed across the arena like a ghost, disappearing in the blink of an eye. Immediately afterwards, dense impact sounds appeared around Jiang Yi, and blood-red lightning exploded and splashed one after another!

Jiang Yi's invisible aura began to ripple amidst Lian Zheng's fierce and relentless attacks, giving the impression that bubbles might burst at any moment. The onlookers held their breath, tense with fear.

Jiang Yi pressed the strings with his left hand, and suddenly swept his right hand across the strings with his five fingers.

The invisible and formless Heavenly Gang Sword Qi suddenly merged into one at the moment the zither music changed rapidly, condensing into a giant sword phantom that was enough to cover most of the arena, and slashed down with the force to shatter mountains and split rocks!

This is what she obtained by integrating the Zhenyue Sword Technique from the Qi Refining stage into the Tianyin Technique. Swordsmanship begins with learning the moves of predecessors, but as you learn more, you will naturally begin to disassemble and reassemble them, figuring out what suits you best.

Although Lian Zheng was extremely fast, the arena was only so big. When the giant sword came crashing down indiscriminately over a wide area, Lian Zheng's pupils shrank and he hurriedly blocked. But then there was a loud bang, and the lightning patterns on his arms exploded, and his figure suddenly dropped.

Only then did everyone realize that Lian Zheng was kneeling on both knees, facing Jiang Yi.

"You're really going to kowtow to me? I'm so embarrassed."

"Shut the fuck up!!"

Lian Zheng's eyes were bloodshot, and he crossed his arms to withstand the power of the giant sword.

"Want to keep kowtowing?" Jiang Yi lowered her eyes and chuckled. "I'll grant your filial piety!"

The music suddenly turned urgent, the giant sword phantom hummed and trembled, and layer upon layer of mountains and rivers instantly appeared on the sword, as if a dragon was swimming, and the sword intent of Zhenyue surged by three points again!

Lian Zheng's back was bent under the pressure, and his knees crushed the bluestone with a crack, sinking three inches into the ground.

The beast transformation caused his already limited rationality to vanish. The person in front of him and the person in his memory merged into one. The same humiliation drove Lian Zheng to the extreme of rage, and he suddenly slammed his fist on the ground and sprang up.

"You all die!"

Lian Zheng's blood-red lightning suddenly receded, his skin cracked inch by inch, revealing the lightning flashing beneath his skin, as if he was about to burn his essence blood to detonate his lightning horns!

Liu Taozhi, sitting in the audience, suddenly changed color. "Be careful, he's going to fight to the death!"

Although there is a protective barrier on the arena, people won't die, but they will definitely be seriously injured.

Hua Gu immediately stood in front of Jiang Yi to protect him, and even Zhen Shan and Duan Jin were ready to help at any time.

Jiang Yi showed no sign of panic, and plucked the strings heavily with her fingertips.

The giant sword shattered, and its sword energy suddenly split into hundreds and thousands, like a pack of silver wolves hunting, instantly entangling the Lianzhen's limbs and bones!

Each sword aura precisely pierced the nodes where the lightning energy flowed within Lian Zheng's meridians, effectively locking the explosive force of the blood explosion within the meridians.

Lian Zheng's eyes were fierce, his face was still flushed, but the lightning all over his body dissipated like a firecracker that had gone flat.

"........."

Under the watchful eyes of everyone, Lian Zheng felt very embarrassed.

His body, stiff and unable to move after using forbidden techniques, was so stiff that even when Lian Zheng struggled slightly, his knees buckled and he slammed his head against the ground, knocking Jiang Yi down heavily.

Boom!
"Ah this..."

Everyone stared at Lian Zheng with their mouths agape. He remained in a kowtow position for a long time without getting up. Finally, whether he was truly dizzy or felt ashamed, he slumped to the side and fell into a coma.

The phantom of the Thunder Beast howled and peeled away from his body, turning into a charred little beast that rolled to the side.

The entire arena fell silent once again, with only the lingering notes of the piano music remaining until the referee from the Shen family spoke.

"Jiang Heyingsheng, a disciple of True Monarch Danxi of the Cangling Sect!"

"Great! Senior Sister Jiang is awesome! Senior Sister Jiang is so powerful!"

Qi Tian raised his arms and shouted, grabbing a handful of low-grade spirit stones from his storage ring and scattering them into the crowd.

"Congratulations to Senior Sister Jiang of the Cangling Sect for defeating the madman Bai Zanggu! Everyone who witnesses this will receive a share!"

Feng Wuhen and Zhao Cangyun clicked their tongues simultaneously, glancing disdainfully at the nouveau riche, yet they also tacitly joined in the shout.

"Senior Sister Jiang is so awesome!"

"Elder sister is mighty!"

The crowd instantly erupted in excitement. The rogue cultivators, their eyes gleaming, rushed toward the rain of spirit stones that Qi Tian kept throwing down, while the disciples of the nine great immortal sects quietly moved aside.

No one knows who started it, but suddenly the whole place erupted in cheers like a tidal wave.

"The Cangling Sect is truly magnificent!"

"Fellow Daoist Crane Shadow is truly a divine being!"

The opponents on the surrounding arenas, who were taking a break from fighting, subconsciously joined in the clapping, grinning foolishly, when they suddenly realized that their opponents' hands weren't on their storage bags...

"Look at the sword!"

"Damn it, you have no sportsmanship!"

On the stage, Jiang Yi chuckled softly, tuned the strings a few times, and inadvertently turned her head, only to suddenly meet the gaze that had never left her from below the stage.

Liu Taozhi covered her mouth tightly, her knuckles turning white, tears welling up in her eyes. Her whole body trembled slightly, stubbornly refusing to bend, yet heartbreakingly fragile.

Jiang Yi felt a lump in her throat, sighed silently, and smiled a gentle smile familiar to Liu Taozhi. She closed her eyes slightly and nodded gently to her again.

Liu Taozhi suddenly burst into laughter through her tears, frantically wiping away the tears on her face. She took a few deep breaths, clumsily and earnestly adjusting her breathing rhythm. As she stepped back, the hem of her skirt tripped her, causing her to stumble, but she laughed even more brightly, though she couldn't hold back the tears welling up in her eyes.

Liu Taozhi didn't bother to ask any questions. She stared longingly at the person on the stage who had been lost and found again, took a step back, then clenched her fists and ran away.

Jiang Yi watched the receding figure, unaware that someone was also looking at her from the open window upstairs in Anxianju.
