Chapter 755 - 321: Guo Wei’s Disciple from Baiyang County, Chu Lingguang

Chapter 755: Chapter 321: Guo Wei’s Disciple from Baiyang County, Chu Lingguang

"Zhou, what is the meaning of this?"

Ma Jihu was currently healing his injuries.

From a great distance, he had sensed the auras of Zhou Changqing and Chu Lingguang.

Zhou Changqing was not only injured but also merely at the Human Dao Foundation Establishment level, so Ma Jihu paid him no mind. As for Chu Lingguang, he knew nothing about him.

But as Chu Lingguang drew closer, he sensed hostility from him.

He also detected a dangerous aura emanating from Chu Lingguang.

That danger confused him.

He was certain he had never met Chu Lingguang before.

Furthermore, Chu Lingguang’s aura was strange. It was like Foundation Establishment, yet it wasn’t. From a distance, he hadn’t seemed very powerful, so Ma Jihu hadn’t given him a second thought.

Now that he was close, however, he couldn’t help but focus his attention on Chu Lingguang.

"There’s something I’d like to discuss with you,"

Zhou Changqing said.

BOOM!

The moment the words left his mouth, a Talisman flew out from his sleeve.

It was an Ice Suppression Talisman.

It was capable of freezing Ma Jihu. Even an expert at the Immortal Dao Foundation Establishment realm couldn’t ignore the power of this Talisman.

WHOOSH!

After throwing the Talisman, Zhou Changqing immediately ran.

He knew Chu Lingguang was determined to get revenge on Ma Jihu and would definitely make a move. They clearly weren’t here for a friendly chat, so he decided to strike first to gain the upper hand.

He used the Talisman to seize the initiative for Chu Lingguang.

Of course, being injured and fundamentally weaker than Ma Jihu, he immediately fled far away after the sneak attack. From the looks of it, he was probably trying to get back to the camp by the Stone Forest to avoid being killed when Ma Jihu retaliated.

"Hmph!"

Ma Jihu was stunned for a moment.

Then he immediately thrust out a palm.

The surrounding ice walls shattered under his Spiritual Power. He knew Zhou Changqing and Chu Lingguang had come with ill intent, but he never expected Zhou Changqing to launch a sudden sneak attack.

SWOOSH!

But just as he destroyed the power of the Ice Suppression Talisman,

a figure rushed up to him.

Wielding a Long Spear, the figure thrust it toward his heart.

Ma Jihu was completely bewildered.

As a Cultivator, he excelled at using Magical Techniques and Divine Abilities. Everyone preferred to kill from a distance, using their powers to awe the world.

Yet, Chu Lingguang had actually charged right up to him.

And was trying to kill him with a Long Spear.

’What kind of bizarre move is this?’

’Does he think I’m some common Martial Artist?’

But just then, his expression froze. He felt that the spear Chu Lingguang thrust out had fused with the Five Elements Power. Not only did it destroy the aftershock of his Palm Force, but it was also hurtling toward his chest at a terrifying speed.

He continuously surged his Spiritual Power, but it seemed he couldn’t block it.

Even when he condensed a Magic Technique at his fingertip, forming a curtain of Spiritual Power, it was still pierced by that single thrust.

At the same time, he sensed that Chu Lingguang’s Spear Technique was gathering the Five Elements Power far faster than he could.

No!

He soon realized.

It wasn’t just gathering the Five Elements Power; it was fusing the power into the Long Spear itself.

He saw flames spewing from the Long Spear.

He also saw Wind Blade Power sweeping out from the weapon.

The fused Five Elements Power was overwhelming him. At close range, his Magical Techniques and Divine Abilities had lost their advantage. He could only burn a Talisman with his Spiritual Power at the critical moment, trying to force Chu Lingguang back.

But instead, he saw terrifying Five Elements Power gathering within Chu Lingguang’s Spear Technique. The island seemed to have become Chu Lingguang’s personal Dao Field.

The surrounding Spiritual Qi was all being controlled by his Spear Technique.

It was as if streams of mortal Potential Power were empowering Chu Lingguang’s Spear Technique.

"This..."

Zhou Changqing, who had been preparing to flee further away, turned back and was utterly stunned by the scene.

He saw Chu Lingguang wielding a specially-made Overlord Spear, executing the Mortal Martial Art, the Flying Leaf Lotus Spear. The technique formed a series of spear afterimages, each one coated in fused Five Elements Power.

There were even rumbles of thunder erupting from the Spear Technique.

After a moment, a dark cloud even appeared in the sky above the small island.

As Chu Lingguang performed his Spear Technique, streaks of lightning appeared within the dark cloud. Somehow, the lightning was transmitted through the air and into his spear.

This caused Chu Lingguang’s Spear Technique to not only carry the fused Five Elements Power but also streams of Thunder Power that surged toward Ma Jihu.

"Wait, I have no quarrel with you."

"Zhou Changqing, what is your Profound Celestial Sect doing?!"

Ma Jihu shouted with all his might.

The commotion here attracted the attention of many Loose Cultivators practicing around Taihu, as well as the injured members of the various major sects.

Ma Jihu was a famous figure in the Great Qin.

No one expected him to be thrown into a panic by a young man wielding a Long Spear and using a mortal spear technique, completely powerless to fight back.

His Magical Techniques, Divine Abilities, and even his Talismans and Magical Artifacts were all crushed by the Spear Technique before they could be unleashed.

Gradually, more and more wounds appeared on Ma Jihu’s body.

Blood slowly began to stain his clothes red.

Chu Lingguang felt as if he had returned to the sandy ground of the Martial Arts Hall, practicing the Flying Leaf Lotus Spear over and over again. Guo Wei was sitting behind him, eating grapes and watching him practice his Spear Technique.

Unconsciously, Chu Lingguang seemed to have entered a miraculous Realm.

As he poured all his rage into his Spear Technique, the Flying Leaf Lotus Spear itself seemed to be undergoing a transformation.

It felt as though it was invisibly being empowered by Magic and Divine Abilities.

The first form: Thrust!

It represented envelopment.

Chu Lingguang thrust his spear.

He found that all the spear afterimages were actively coating themselves in Five Elements Spiritual Power without his conscious control. Even the surrounding Spiritual Power was drawn in by his thrust, forming terrifying spear phantoms. These phantoms not only enveloped Ma Jihu but also caused his Magical Techniques and Divine Abilities to rapidly collapse.

It was as if this thrust had already fused with the power of a Magic Technique, making it even stronger than the Magical Techniques and Divine Abilities Ma Jihu was casting, capable of crushing him in an instant.

This sudden change was both unexpected and a pleasant surprise for Chu Lingguang.

The second form: Lock.

It represented imprisonment.

It could make an enemy’s attacks feel as if they were sinking into a quagmire, firmly locked in place and unable to break free.

Chu Lingguang thrust his spear.

Ma Jihu felt the Five Elements Power forming into shackles. Not only were his Magical Techniques and Divine Abilities restrained and imprisoned, but he himself felt like he was trapped deep in a mire.

He could only watch helplessly as Chu Lingguang’s spear stabbed into his body.

As an expert of the Immortal Dao Foundation Establishment,

Ma Jihu would never claim to be invincible,

but he had never imagined that one day he would be stabbed to death by someone using a mortal spear technique.

At the same time,

he witnessed the entire process of Chu Lingguang’s Spear Technique transforming.

He realized the Flying Leaf Lotus Spear was evolving from a Mortal Martial Art into a Practitioner’s Divine Technique.

This was a tremendous honor for any mortal Martial Artist.

How many people could ever evolve a mortal technique into a Divine Ability?

If Guo Wei could have seen this, he would not only be astonished by Chu Lingguang but would also marvel that Chu Lingguang had truly brought the Flying Leaf Lotus Spear to new heights.

Turning a mortal spear technique into a Divine Technique was the greatest glory and achievement.

Chu Lingguang had also never expected that the Flying Leaf Lotus Spear would one day transform in his hands.

He slowly began to realize that this transformation was not only driven by the Five Elements Power but also influenced by the special Realm he had entered.

One could say this transformation was a convergence of the right time, the right place, and the right people.

First, with the help of Favor Points and other aid, Chu Lingguang had already cultivated the Flying Leaf Lotus Spear to its absolute peak. He also practiced it repeatedly, going through the motions several times almost every day.

Second, if he hadn’t achieved Heavenly Dao Foundation Establishment and been able to quickly resonate with the Five Elements Power, thunder, and even the Earth Source Power, he wouldn’t have been able to make an ordinary mortal technique evolve.

Finally, had it not been for his profound longing for Guo Wei, he would not have instinctively used the Flying Leaf Lotus Spear upon seeing Ma Jihu. He had hoped to console his master’s spirit, to let Guo Wei’s ghost sense this resonance and feel as if he were personally taking his own revenge.

Perhaps the Flying Leaf Lotus Spear would not have been able to transform today otherwise.

Therefore, this transformation was a convergence of the right time, the right place, and the right people. It was only achieved through a combination of various opportunities and even with the help of Favors.

"Who in the world are you?! Let me die with an answer!"

Ma Jihu roared.

He realized he had been completely suppressed by Chu Lingguang the entire time.

Under Chu Lingguang’s Spear Technique, he was rendered utterly defenseless. Chu Lingguang, immersed in that special Realm, seemed to have formed the closest possible resonance with the heavens, the earth, and even Taihu itself.

Drawn by the power of that resonance, not only was his Spear Technique transforming, but Chu Lingguang himself also seemed to be evolving.

"Chu Lingguang, disciple of Martial Artist Guo Wei from Baiyang County!"

Chu Lingguang replied.

The Long Spear plunged into Ma Jihu’s throat and turned his head to pulp.
