The Rebirth of an Immortal Cultivator
Chapter 489: Suppressing Qing Tong
The two were still standing in their respective places and looking at each other without making any movements, as if they were observing each other's strengths and looking for his weaknesses.
Especially Mo Lian, she was very careful. His opponent was the Heavenly Bronze Tree that had already controlled the Dao a long time ago, and he himself was just an ordinary human who had suddenly obtained the Heavenly Yin Tree within his body.
"You are not the original Yin Heavenly Tree. You're a fake, only a tiny fraction of it gets into your body. You can't exert all his strength, so don't be proud to have it."
The sound of the Heavenly Bronze Tree was filled with deep insults as it looked down on Mo Lian.
Mo Lian did not care about the insults of the Heavenly Bronze Tree and did not even take it seriously. If he wanted to, he could say something even more cruel and possibly make the Heavenly Bronze Tree take a hit with just his words.
"What's up?!" The Heavenly Bronze Tree was annoyed when it saw Mo Lian's contemptuous expression.
Mo Lian chuckled and replied, "I'm a fake, but it can weaken the real you. Doesn't that mean you're weaker than me? If I were the real one and you were the fake one, I might have killed you long ago ..."
Before Mo Lian was done, the Heavenly Bronze Tree had already rushed over with mounting fury due to Mo Lian's words.
The Heavenly Bronze Tree or “Older Qing Tong” arrived in front of Mo Lian with her right hand outstretched, enveloped by a powerful energy forming a bronze-gold smoke.
Mo Lian took a step back to create some distance between the two. But he had no intention of surviving...
Whoooooooshes!
Suddenly a blue sword came from below, piercing through the clouds with incredible speed. The sword shot out, leading to Qing Tong's hand trying to reach Mo Lian.
Qing Tong was late in reacting, his hand was hit by a sword attack, making his hand slightly flung due to the strong momentum that suddenly came.
Mo Lian raised her left hand crosswise.
A whooshing sound came as if there was a sharp object splitting the air. Another blue sword came from the side towards Qing Tong with the overwhelming power it carried, the spaces seemed distorted, the wind started raging from time to time as the sword got closer.
Qing Tong felt numbness in his right hand as a result of the sword stab earlier, although it did not penetrate him, but it still hurt. He used his left hand to withstand another attack, but before he could resist, Mo Lian suddenly kicked his groin.
"Keugh..." Qing Tong felt pain from his groin that spread throughout his body. He no longer even cared about the attacking sword.
Bang out!
The sword shot out against Qing Tong's ribcage, sending him crashing with incredible speed.
Since the fight of the two were on different terrains, they did not affect the fight outside.
Mo Lian rushed towards Qing Tong and had already arrived on top of him. He raised his right leg, swinging it vertically to kick it using his heel.
But suddenly...
Qing Tong clenched his hands together, making his body emit a dazzling bronze-gold light. Faintly visible was a large tree that appeared above his head, the trunk was the same color as the light, and the dense foliage that rubbed off gave off the sound of metal crackling.
Mo Lian's kick struck the light that started to form the tree, giving rise to shock waves that spread out in all directions and there was a powerful momentum pushing it upwards.
His body was slightly spinning due to the sudden arrival of the tree. But quickly, he stabilized his body which lost its balance.
Mo Lian looked at the Bronze Tree. He spread out his two hands, 12 Yin Yang Diagrams appeared behind him including the Eight Yin Diagram and the Yang Ring God Needle on it.
Qing Tong looked up as the light in his body grew brighter. The tree behind him continued to solidify, revealing its original shape. The metal-like bronze-gold foliage slipped off its twigs, moving like a tornado swirling above it before crashing at Mo Lian.
Mo Lian swung both of her hands forward and clenched them until it gave off a loud, thunderous sound. Then all the attacks that were behind him shot towards the bronze-gold leaf, as well as the sword falling from the Eight Yin and Yang Diagrams.
Hundreds of thousands of small swords with large swords collided with the bronze-gold leaves. It gave rise to another dull explosion, the space around distorted and vibrating, then small cracks sprung up where the second Domain was nearly destroyed from being unable to withstand the impact.
Mo Lian looked at the retreating Qing Tong, but she had no intention of stopping. He raised his left hand slowly, as if lifting a heavy weight.
A Heavenly Yin Tree emerged from its back, it instantly condensed revealing its true form.
The Heavenly Bronze Tree was not willing to lose. The light that enveloped the tree trunk grew brighter, as if there was no other light besides him.
The Yin and Yang energies collided, giving rise to an energy storm that resulted in an irregular explosion. Space destruction came from all directions, but the second Domain that separated the battle grounds was not destroyed.
Both of them retreated thousands of miles due to the impact of the previous energy, and they sustained injuries on the surface.
Mo Lian spat out the blood that had accumulated within her mouth after the violent clash in her chest resulted in blood surging out.
He flicked his hand horizontally, then there was the sound of chains slashing through the air in front of him.
The Blood Chain darted with the Blood Crescent on its front. From time to time it would get faster, trying to chase after the Heavenly Bronze Tree that continued to retreat under Qing Tong's control.
Mo Lian stretched out her left hand, then pulled it with all her might.
The sound of the chain returning was heard, but it came from another direction.
Qing Tong felt a bad feeling. He looked back, and saw a Blood Chain coming from the other direction. He moved the other way to avoid the Blood Chain, he knew all this would end after the Blood Chain tied him up.
Seeing that, how could Mo Lian just let it go? He moved the Yin Yang (Time) Diagram behind him.
With a deafening buzzing sound, time stopped. But to hold Qing Tong back, it was still very difficult. However, although very little, like Derik can still be used well.
"Come!" Mo Lian roared. Another Blood Chain came from two different directions, closing the escape path of the Heavenly Bronze Tree.
The Four Blood Chains had managed to bind the Heavenly Bronze Tree, wrapped around it as tightly as possible and the Blood Crescent stuck in its trunk.
Mo Lian clenched both of her hands, carried them to the front of her chest and clenched them by grinding her teeth.
"Damn ..." Qing Tong felt a pain in his chest, and he continued to hear the buzzing sound in his mind that was damaging his soul. It was extremely painful, especially the Blood Crescent which was slowly absorbing Yang Energy.
Mo Lian did not feel any pain. Even though he seems to be leading, but he still sacrifices something. Absorbing a large amount of Yang Energy in a single moment from the Heavenly Bronze Tree heavily weighed down his body, this was different from before when weakening the Heavenly Bronze Tree as it slowly grew.
But rather than that, he was very curious about Qing Tong's strength which looked weak from not having any attack techniques.
"What is possible ..." Suddenly a thought ran through his mind. Mo Lian guessed that Qing Tong only had one ability, controlling the Heavenly Dao. The power gained is instant without training, which is why not many techniques are mastered.
"Let'sah!" Qing Tong roared, making the Heavenly Bronze Tree on top of him tremble, trying to put up a resistance.
Mo Lian took a step back that felt heavy. His two hands were still in the same position, but now it was not as sturdy as before, now trembling, even his skin started to peel off.
"Come!"
Mo Lian took out the World Tree beside the Heavenly Yin Tree. The dragon-like tendrils shot out, capturing the Blood Chain.
The tendrils trembled slightly, then emitted a golden light as they swallowed the Yang Energy flowing from the Heavenly Bronze Tree through the Blood Chain.
Not only that, a loud scream was heard as Kunpeng appeared on the other side. Opening his mouth, Kunpeng absorbed the Yang Energy leaking from Qing Tong's body.
The damage in Mo Lian's body did not stop, but at least began to slow down. But even so, both of his hands had already lost blood and flesh, leaving only golden bones with patterns.
Not enough, the Heavenly Tree and the Zhillao Tree came beside the World Tree. The two did not take out the Yang Energy from Qing Tong nor the Heavenly Bronze Tree, but rather provided healing for Mo Lian.
