Chapter 1667 - 849: Ling Soaring Azure

The disciple of Yun Che swiftly retreated backwards, tilting to one side, barely avoiding the attack, his pupils slightly contracting. Just as he was about to counterattack, a gust of dangerous wind suddenly blew from his left.

Generally, the greater the power of a spear, the slower its retraction speed, which would enlarge its opening. However, when Tie Hengjun’s Armor-piercing Cloud suddenly flashed in mid-air, it caught Yun Che completely by surprise. Like lightning, he swiftly extended both hands. Then, he folded his wrists to support his waist and forcefully blocked it.

Bang!!

When his wrist blocked the body of the spear, the spear vibrated violently, causing him to take three consecutive steps back, almost making the Profound Energy that protected his body falter.

"Back Spear Power! Great spear technique!" Yun Che couldn’t help but exclaim. Despite his young age, Tie Hengjun’s spear combat ability was definitely at a master class level.

``Dragon Crushing Cloud!’’

The remnant shadow of the iron spear danced, and Tie Hengjun’s Piercing Cloud swept again, forcing Yun Che to take a step back. Among hundreds of weapons, the spear was the most oppressive. Its domineering power couldn’t be compared with any other type of weapon. It was the hardest to master, but once mastered, not to mention an enemy’s counterattack, even one couldn’t get close.

``Great Dragon Detective Abyss!’’

``Zhiliu Star!’’

``Lingkong Blue Sea!’’

Every time Tie Hengjun attacked with his spear, he would roar. In a short amount of time, everyone’s eyes were filled with the remnants of the spear. Its tyranny forced Yun Che to step back continuously.

"A thousand times!"

Tie Hengjun leaped fifteen meters, and his Armor-piercing Cloud flew across the air to attack Yun Che. Even from fifteen meters away, the dominant force almost made Yun Che unable to open his eyes. Under the approximately 15 spear strikes from Tie Hengjun, Yun Che had been forced to the edge of the hall. As Yun Che couldn’t avoid it this time, he howled upwards, unwaveringly using his arm against Tie Hengjun’s Armor-piercing Cloud.

``Wow!’’ The disciples of the New Moon Palace exclaimed in shock.

Yun Che’s formidable strength might frustrate an opponent ranked third in the Nascent Profound Realm; however, Tie Hengjun’s spear not only possessed pure power but also the domineering aura of a spear! How could one attempt to stop a top-level spear attack with a bare weapon?

However, as Tie Hengjun’s spear collided with Yun Che’s arm, the sound of the clash was not loud. At the moment they met, Yun Che’s arm slanted. He borrowed the power of the Piercing Cloud to completely change its trajectory, while utterly negating the spear’s force. Then, he quickly launched an attack, directly striking towards Tie Hengjun’s chest.

Tie Hengjun quickly retracted his spear, but he couldn’t recover his stance in time and was easily blown away by Yun Che. However, he did not panic at all. Instead, when the large silver shadow of the Piercing Cloud flashed again, he roared. It no longer possessed domineering power but instead crashed upwards from an unconventional angle towards Yun Che’s throat, as if it were a clever silver snake.

Yun Che’s breathing paused, using the Star God’s Shattered Shadow to retreat to dodge while hammering the spear. Then, Tie Hengjun retreated a few steps.

Tie Hengjun and Yun Che stood far apart, without an immediate clash again. The entire palace fell into absolute silence once more.

Despite executing only about twelve steps in this brief moment, Tie Hengjun’s use of the spear was sometimes fierce and sometimes like a clever snake. Together with his amazing control over the spear, everything was astonishing; it could hardly be believed that such spear skills were actually performed by a young man who was only seventeen. Disciples of the same age and level were without exception shocked. They had to admit that even though they might be on the same level as Tie Hengjun, they were by no means his match.

Even Tie Hengjun’s father, Tie Zhancang, continuously nodded silently, smiling with satisfaction.

The most shocking thing was, facing the spear’s power and skill, apart from the strength of the three different realms of the abyss, Yun Che surprisingly hadn’t suffered any damage after over ten movements! Moreover, he was almost on par with Tie Hengjun! Everyone was shocked to the point of being frozen. Some even had their mouths agape, unable to close them for a long time.

"It seems like exchanging pointers with Brother Yin was an incorrect choice." Tie Hengjun waved the Piercing Cloud enthusiastically, his previously unwavering expression becoming excited.

"Here, here." Yun Che smiled slightly, then his tone also carried a subtle warning: "Brother Tie, regarding what’s about to happen next, be careful!"

Tie Hengjun’s spear technique was actually flawless; it was hard to find a gap in it. Since that was the case, the best way to defeat him in the shortest time would be to forcibly break his spear-wielding stance with overwhelming force.

Yun Che narrowed his eyes slightly. In the "Inner Soul" state, the furious profound energy emitted from his profound veins entered his embrace completely without reservation. Wow, amazing! Frankly, I suddenly hope Brother Yun defeats me. That being said, I absolutely won’t back down!’’

Tie Hengjun laughed loudly, his gaze already regaining its previous coldness. He roared while wielding his silver spear: "Retract my spear.’’ Rising Dragon!!

Immense pressure gathered on the spear. As the Piercing Cloud danced, the people inside the palace actually heard a faint dragon’s roar, surprised expressions continuously appearing. At this moment, the Piercing Cloud spear swept horizontally towards Yun Che. The thrust could pierce anything, while the sweep could shake thousands. Since Tie Hengjun chose to sweep, it clearly demonstrated his understanding of this spear’s power. If he had chosen to thrust, Yun Che, unable to dodge under the oppression of the spear’s imposed aura, might suffer serious injuries. However, by sweeping, hitting Yun Che not only would be easier but also less likely to cause any irreparable damage.
