Chapter 736: Chapter 39: A Deadlock That Can Only Be Solved by Death (Part 3)
His upper body clothing burst into pieces under the might of the sword energy, revealing a torso covered in dark gold secret patterns.
Oblivion, carrying the rich glow of Starry Radiance, struck Qing Ge like a falling teor.
Boom!
Sparks along with the dazzling Starry Radiance scattered in all directions, as if a brilliant firework had exploded in the sky above.
The Falling Star Sword possessed a strong repelling force, which was exactly the purpose behind Lu Qingshan’s use of this sword technique.
However, the disparity in combat power ant that even such a powerful Falling Star Sword still couldn’t shake Qing Ge, who possessed the combat power of a Low-Ranking Demon General.
But it wasn’t completely without effect.
It caused Qing Ge’s figure to pause montarily.
It was during this brief pause from Qing Ge that Lu Qingshan once again increased the distance between them significantly.
Seeing this, Qing Ge’s eyes nearly burst with rage, and with a ghost-like figure, he quickly resud the pursuit.
Boom! Boom! Boom!
The situation then beca such that every ti he was about to catch up, Lu Qingshan would unleash the Falling Star Sword, one after another, to block Qing Ge’s advance.
This made Qing Ge feel as if he was being led around, filled with fury and a touch of shock.
As a Sixth Grade, chasing a Void Refining Sword Cultivator and yet not having caught up after such a long ti was an insult beyond asure!
But the reason he stubbornly refused to give up the chase was that he understood sothing.
A cultivator’s Spiritual Power is not limitless.
Why do Sword Cultivators seldom use full-strength Sword Control to travel at extre speeds?
Because that kind of Sword Control Technique consus a great deal of Spiritual Power and, unless it’s a critical mont, isn’t typically used.
Furthermore, to block Qing Ge, Lu Qingshan also had to occasionally employ the Falling Star Exploding Sword Technique.
Qing Ge admitted, the power of Lu Qingshan’s Exploding Sword Technique was so strong it didn’t seem like it should co from a Void Refining Cultivator.
But the more powerful the ability, the greater the depletion. How many tis could a Fifth Realm Sword Cultivator launch such a Flying Sword?
And as for his own depletion…
Firstly, he was a Sixth Grade Realm cultivator, and in terms of endurance, he was naturally superior to Lu Qingshan.
Secondly, his physical body was extraordinary, so half of his speed stemd from his Physical Body, unlike Lu Qingshan who relied solely on Spiritual Power to support his Escape Technique. Therefore, his consumption was far less than that of Lu Qingshan.
Therefore, he was convinced that if he just continued the chase like this for a while longer, Lu Qingshan would inevitably fall into a state where his Spiritual Power could no longer sustain him.
At that ti, wouldn’t Lu Qingshan be like a lamb ready for slaughter?
A cold light flashed in Qing Ge’s eyes as he roared at Lu Qingshan, “Run, keep running, let’s see how long you can!”
At first, Lu Qingshan was sowhat puzzled by Qing Ge’s powerless rage, but it didn’t take long for him to understand Qing Ge’s line of thinking.
It had to be said, Qing Ge’s approach was sowhat foolish and straightforward, but it did indeed target his weakness.
His cultivation was extrely profound, and his Spiritual Power was incredibly robust, unmatched by fellow cultivators of the sa realm, but compared to a Low-Ranking Demon General, it was still far less.
Going all out with the Sword Control, coupled with the depletion from the Falling Star, in just half an hour, Lu Qingshan noticed that his Spiritual Power had fallen below fifty percent.
Even at full strength, he had difficulty defeating Qing Ge, let alone after his state of depletion.
Did that an, even without Pu Qu Demon Marshal, his current situation appeared to be a stalemate?
No, on the contrary, Lu Qingshan saw even more vitality in this situation!
“You want to drain of my power?” Lu Qingshan murmured softly, yet his heart had settled on a resolution, “Then co at .”
One was chasing and the other fleeing, each with their own agenda, and both had bright futures in mind.
“This fellow, he really knows how to run…”
“My Demonic Qi has already been depleted by nearly 50%, how has he not reached his limit yet?” Qing Ge felt more alard as he pursued.
If they weren’t still a long distance from Yun Pass, he would have dared not continue the chase.
Another half an hour passed.
The two had now arrived at a mountainous and forested area rarely seen on the outer battlefield,
“I only have 10% of my Spiritual Power left,” Lu Qingshan evaluated his condition and finally stopped in his tracks, “His exhaustion must also be significant.”
As soon as he stopped, Qing Ge, who had been closely following him, imdiately caught up and couldn’t help but take a brief gasp for air.
Even though his condition was considerably better than Lu Qingshan’s, it was definitely far from easy.
“Why aren’t you running anymore?” Qing Ge said hatefully, “Are you giving up the struggle, preparing to wait for death?”
Lu Qingshan shook his head and replied with a slight chuckle to Qing Ge, “No, I just think it’s about ti, and the mountains and rivers here are quite nice.”
“About ti?” Qing Ge furrowed his brows slightly at Lu Qingshan’s nonsensical words. “The mountains and rivers are nice?”
“Such beautiful mountains and rivers are just right to be your burial ground!” Lu Qingshan shouted, his eyes flashing with a cold gleam.
Their chase had continued for so long.
Even if the Pu Qu Demon Marshal had shaken off Marquis of An Hai, he would not be able to catch up in a short period.
That ant for the next while, it would be a one-on-one life-and-death battle between him and Qing Ge, with no one else intervening.
“Kill ?” Qing Ge seed to have heard a huge joke, “Can you, a Void Refining Cultivator, kill ? Can you slay ? If today you can kill , Qing Ge, with your Void Refining Cultivation, I will eat my own sword right here on the spot!”
“Let’s just give it a try then,” Lu Qingshan said with a cold sneer.
The next instant, in the palm of his hand, lines snaked like a dragon and serpent, rapidly spreading like the grey line of a grass snake, forming a mysterious Taoist pattern.
Imdiately, Lu Qingshan turned over his hand and pressed it down into the void towards the ground.
“Power of the Mountains and Seas!”
Huge ripples spread out from him as the center, covering a fifty-mile radius.
The ground began to tremble slightly, and the trees in the mountains and forests seed to undergo a thousand years of change in an instant. Leaves fell, withered quickly, leaving only bare branches whose bark beca dry, cracked, curled up, and eventually dropped off.
The ground emitted a booming sound, cracking open rapidly and revealing startling fissures.
A scene reminiscent of the apocalypse.
A trendous strength converged together, drawn from the earth, spiraling upwards like a dragon and serpent, and finally surged into Lu Qingshan’s body.
Lu Qingshan’s Nascent Soul, which had dimd due to the shortage of Spiritual Power, shone brightly again with the infusion of the Power of the Mountains and Seas.
His aura began to climb steadily.
In the blink of an eye, he had returned to his peak condition, and it didn’t stop there—his aura continued to rise.
Finally, upon reaching the standard of the Six Flowers Realm, the Power of the Mountains and Seas ceased its ascent.
Lu Qingshan’s Spiritual Power had indeed been depleted.
But he still had the Power of the Mountains and Seas.
Qing Ge’s depletion was real, and he had nothing with which to replenish himself.
That is to say, the current situation had evolved from the three-flowered realm Lu Qingshan facing the low-ranking Demon General Qing Ge to “Six Flowers Realm” Lu Qingshan against Qing Ge with only 50% of his pri state strength.
The endga, only death could resolve…
However, the one to die would not be him, but Qing Ge!
