Chapter 241: Infinite Yin and Yang

Chapter 241: Chapter 241: Infinite Yin and Yang

"Considering the state he was in, there was no way he should have survived. Besides, he was fighting to the death; it didn’t seem like he had an escape route."

"And even if he had managed to escape, his injuries were no joke. I was horrified just looking at them, so the idea of him healing on his own is out of the question."

"But under those circumstances, he still managed to recover a month later, kill Young Master Yellow Springs, and then come after me. Don’t you think that’s all a bit too much?"

"What are you trying to say?" Wuji Fairy listened and had to agree that something was off.

"Haven’t you realized it yet? I’m saying someone secretly saved Thunder Knight and healed his wounds. Perhaps he isn’t the only one who came to kill me. The person who saved him is likely here as well."

"What! Someone like that actually exists?!" Wuji Fairy’s eyes widened in shock.

"Indeed, I hadn’t considered it. According to my intelligence network, Thunder Knight doesn’t have many close associates in the Profound Origin Sect. There’s Qin Muxian, a Foundation Establishment Middle Stage cultivator, who is his master. And there was a Golden Core Cultivator with the surname He who looked after him, but he’s in seclusion right now, so it couldn’t be him."

Even Young Master Ghost, who had always prided himself on his great intellect, couldn’t make heads or tails of the current situation. He was utterly baffled.

Young Master Ghost stopped dwelling on the matter and turned his gaze toward the battlefield.

’No matter who this interloper is, they must be deeply concerned about whether Zong Ziqi lives or dies.’

’If I can push Zong Ziqi to the brink of death, this person is bound to show up and help.’

’Then, I’ll be able to see their true face with my own eyes.’

Zong Ziqi stood at the heart of the battlefield, surrounded by flashing lightning and rumbling thunder. The Heavenly Thunder Cloud Dragon Sword Technique he wielded was majestic and shockingly powerful, but fighting alone, he was clearly outmatched.

Facing the fierce assault of two Barbarian Race cultivators, he was like a lone rock in a raging storm. Though he stood firm and unyielding, he was forced to endure the onslaught from all sides.

The power and speed erupting from Wu Tuo’s mountain-like frame were beyond imagination. Every punch was accompanied by the flash of a spectral totem and a surge of raw vitality; that primordial force seemed capable of tearing the very world apart.

This forced Zong Ziqi to erect one defensive barrier after another with his Celestial Thunder Sword Qi. Even so, he could feel the ground tremble with each impact, and every barrier teetered on the brink of collapse under the violent collisions.

Meanwhile, the Sacrificial Priest, U Damo, was not to be underestimated.

The massive wolf-shaped Spirit Body he controlled was ferocious, each pounce and bite accompanied by immense wind pressure and a chilling aura, forcing Zong Ziqi to split his focus to deal with it.

The demonic wolf was incredibly agile and unpredictable. It would charge straight one moment, then launch a surprise attack from an unexpected angle the next, running Zong Ziqi ragged.

Zong Ziqi’s figure darted between lightning and shadow. Cold sweat beaded on his brow; he was clearly giving his all to withstand the relentless assault of the two Barbarian Race cultivators.

Yet no matter how hard he tried to counterattack, the duo’s seamless coordination neutralized his every move. Each attempt to strike back was swiftly suppressed, forcing him into a passive defense and putting him at a greater disadvantage than ever before.

Though his Sword Techniques were sharp and deadly, he couldn’t find a way to break free from his current predicament. A sliver of anxiety and helplessness began to creep into the heart of the usually calm and composed Zong Ziqi.

At his peak, Zong Ziqi would have been more than capable of fighting back. The problem was that he had just used the Thunderbolt Breathing Technique. While it had greatly boosted his explosive power, the price was a subsequent period of weakness, which was why he was struggling so badly now.

Young Master Ghost had seen Zong Ziqi use the Thunderbolt Breathing Technique in battle before, so he was familiar with it.

The first time he’d witnessed it, Zong Ziqi had nearly wounded him. If not for Wuji Fairy’s timely Defense, he might not even be here today.

Suddenly, Zong Ziqi exploded with power, knocking back the two barbarians. His figure then shot like lightning toward Young Master Ghost, his sword aimed straight at him!

’Oh no! He’s going to use that move again!’

Young Master Ghost trembled and instinctively took a step back, but Wuji Fairy moved to stand in front of him. She slowly closed her eyes, locking her Divine Sense onto Zong Ziqi.

"Young Master Ghost, taste my blade!"

Zong Ziqi roared. Lightning flared around him as he transformed into a thunder dragon, lunging straight for Young Master Ghost.

The light from his sword flickered, carrying a deathly aura potent enough to shred the soul. A flash of terror crossed Young Master Ghost’s face. His body trembled, and his voice cracked as he screamed:

"Quick! Stop him!"

Wuji Fairy also felt an unprecedented pressure from Zong Ziqi’s attack.

She had assumed this time would be like the last—that while blocking the attack would be difficult, it would still be within her capabilities.

But this time, she realized she had made a grave mistake.

Before the attack even reached her, she felt as if she was already seeing her own death.

She had believed her Yin Yang Infinite Skill would be enough to stop Zong Ziqi’s assault. After all, it was the ultimate secret technique of the Yin Yang Annihilation Sect, a skill of unparalleled power.

But this time was different. Not only had Zong Ziqi learned the new Celestial Thunder Cloud Dragon Sword technique, but he was also empowered by a series of buffs from Jiang Xu: the Light Body Spell, Golden Light Spell, Spiritual Eye Technique, Giant Strength Technique, and Healing Technique.

These supportive spells were enough to raise Zong Ziqi’s lethality to a whole new level.

Faced with Zong Ziqi’s fatal blow, which swept toward her like a raging tide, alarm bells screamed in Wuji Fairy’s mind. She focused completely, drawing upon the Yin Yang Qi in her body and condensing it before her into an invisible yet incredibly resilient defensive barrier.

Then, at the last moment and without a hint of hesitation, she pulled something else from her Storage Bag and crushed it. The Yin Yang Qi around her body instantly swelled in power!

Just as the sword’s light was about to strike, she twisted her body slightly to the side. Simultaneously, her hands flew into a seal as she shouted, "Infinite Yin and Yang!"

A screen of black and white light erupted from her body, colliding with Zong Ziqi’s sharp Sword Qi. The two instantly intertwined, forming a violent vortex of energy.

The Sword Qi slammed into the defensive barrier created by the Infinite Yin and Yang. Though it didn’t penetrate, it unleashed a powerful shockwave that genuinely injured Wuji Fairy.

Although Wuji Fairy managed to block Zong Ziqi’s attack, she had clearly withstood immense pressure. Her face paled in an instant, and she spat out a mouthful of blood as her body trembled violently from the recoil.

But at this critical moment, she gritted her teeth and forcefully dispelled Zong Ziqi’s Sword Qi with the power of her Infinite Yin and Yang. The next instant, she used the "Infinite Yin and Yang" to hurl it right back at him!
