255: Chapter 255 Had enough fun

"Boom..."

Dust and sand collided and clashed with each other.

"Wind."

Lin Ming waved his hand.

A gale rose, gathering the so-called dust and sand into a small sandstorm that swept toward Gu Muqian.

In the blink of an eye, Gu Muqian was swallowed by the sandstorm.

"Sss..."

With a flash of golden light, the sandstorm was sliced open by the hun-gold mace in Gu Muqian's hand.

A phantom image of a White Tiger appeared above the hun-gold mace.

"Roar..."

The tiger's roar shook the heavens.

The roar echoed throughout the entire Martial Arts Arena.

"This White Tiger phantom has already surpassed the Spirit Platform Realm."

A Spirit Treasury Realm cultivator immediately said.

The strength of this White Tiger phantom had clearly exceeded the Spirit Platform Realm, reaching the power of the Spirit Treasury Realm.

"Isn't this against the rules?"

Someone asked in an uncertain tone.

"Old Ancestor Yun Hua's meaning was that the cultivator's own strength cannot exceed the Spirit Platform Realm, but she didn't say one couldn't use means that exceed the Spirit Platform Realm."

Another person retorted.

In their view, Gu Muqian had found a loophole in Old Ancestor Yun Hua's words.

But what they didn't know was that Gu Muqian hadn't found this loophole himself.

Rather, it was found under the reminder of Ancestor Li Haocang.

When Ancestor Li Haocang handed the hun-gold mace to Gu Muqian, Gu Muqian understood and realized his Revered Master's intentions.

A Demon Tiger soul at the Early Stage of the Spirit Treasury Realm.

This was the soul of a Yao Beast sealed within the hun-gold mace.

However, the upper limit of this Yao Beast's soul was the Peak of the Ku Hai Realm; it was just that with Gu Muqian's strength, he could at most summon an Early Stage Lingcang Demon Tiger.

"Now, things are difficult for Lin Ming. This is an Early Stage Lingcang Yao Soul."

"Hard to say. Don't forget that he has comprehended the Fourth-level Sword Intent."

"With these freaks called Sword Cultivators, it's really hard to say."

"I think Lin Ming is likely to lose. Gu Muqian's own strength isn't weak, and with the support of this Early Stage Lingcang Yao Beast soul, it will be tough for Lin Ming."

"I think so too."

For a moment, everyone felt the situation beginning to tilt toward Gu Muqian's side.

The current situation was equivalent to two against one; Lin Ming might not necessarily be his match.

With a wave of the hun-gold mace,

the Spirit Treasury Realm Demon Tiger roared and lunged at Lin Ming.

The mace struck the ground.

Gu Muqian thrust the hun-gold mace into the ground, and the earth shook once again.

Immediately after, an Earthen Dragon rose from the ground. Gu Muqian stood atop the dragon's head and charged straight at Lin Ming.

Lin Ming maintained a very calm attitude toward this.

He had nothing to fear. Although the opponent used power beyond the Spirit Platform Realm, it didn't mean that he, who could only use Spirit Platform Realm power, would lose.

Even if he only used Spirit Platform Realm power,

that would be enough.

Spirit Severing Seal

Lin Ming then struck out with the Spirit Severing Seal.

The Demon Tiger soul collided directly with the Spirit Severing Seal, attempting to tear it to pieces.

But it was unable to do so.

The Spirit Severing Seal struck the Demon Tiger soul directly, tugging at its Divine Soul and making its movements extremely sluggish.

The Demon Tiger soul struggled incessantly, trying to break free from the Spirit Severing Seal's restraint.

For a Spirit Severing Seal cast at the Spirit Platform Realm to completely Seal a Spirit Treasury Realm Demon Tiger soul, there was still a bit of difficulty.

Meanwhile, Gu Muqian had already ridden the Earthen Dragon past the Demon Tiger soul and arrived before Lin Ming.

The massive dragon head smashed toward Lin Ming.

In response, Lin Ming leaped into the air, dodging the dragon head.

However, under Gu Muqian's control, the dragon head timely changed direction and crashed toward Lin Ming in the air.

In an instant, the dragon head was about to collide with Lin Ming.

One strike of the sword.

Lin Ming only made one sword strike.

He split the Earthen Dragon in two.

Meanwhile, Gu Muqian had already reached the space above Lin Ming. The hun-gold mace in his hand descended, attacking with immense power.

Lin Ming didn't dodge; he met the attack head-on.

The two fought from mid-air all the way down to the ground.

Gu Muqian was suppressed once again. Suppressed by Lin Ming, he could only passively take the hits.

A sweep of Sword Intent.

A golden light radiated from the hun-gold mace, blocking the Sword Intent for him.

Gu Muqian was forced back once more.

"Boom..."

The White Tiger broke free.

At this time, the Demon Tiger soul finally broke free from the Spirit Severing Seal's restraint and attacked Lin Ming again.

Gu Muqian also knew he couldn't continue like this.

Lin Ming's strength had clearly far exceeded his expectations. He had to decide the outcome as quickly as possible; otherwise, if the fight continued, he wasn't sure if he could win against Lin Ming.

A profound aura radiated from Gu Muqian.

In the next second, he and the White Tiger launched an offensive against Lin Ming together.

The Breath of the Earth adhered to his body and his hun-gold mace, intertwining with the golden light on the mace and erupting with immense power.

Let's settle this.

Lin Ming also felt it was time to decide the winner.

He had also played enough. Continuing like this was meaningless and just a waste of time.

"Boom..."

He pointed his sword toward the sky.

Origin Qi Attracting Lightning

A bolt of white lightning fell from the sky, landing on Lin Ming's sword.

The lightning, filled with slaughterous intent, swirled around the blade of the youjue sword.

The combination of lightning and Sword Intent.

Lin Ming understood.

This time, Lin Ming took the initiative to move.

Wielding his sword, Lin Ming went straight for the Demon Tiger soul.

An extremely swift sword strike slashed across its body.

"Roar..."

A cry of pain came from the Demon Tiger's mouth.

Lightning and Sword Intent ravaged the Demon Tiger's body together, making it unbearable. It immediately fled and returned to the hun-gold mace.

Next, it was Gu Muqian's turn.

Gu Muqian had already arrived before Lin Ming, and the mace in his hand descended.

"Boom..."

Sword and mace collided in an instant.

The collision of the Breath of the Earth and Gengjin Lightning.

Within seconds, the Breath of the Earth was directly destroyed.

Under the combination of Gengjin Lightning and the Fourth-level Sword Intent, the Breath of the Earth simply could not withstand it and was completely destroyed.

Even Gu Muqian himself could not withstand this force and was directly knocked back.

Gu Muqian was knocked off the Martial Arts Arena. He thrust his mace into the ground, barely managing to steady himself.

Strands of blood seeped from the corners of his mouth.

The entire venue was silent. Everything had happened too quickly for most people to react.

A bitter smile appeared on his face.

He had still underestimated Lin Ming and overestimated himself.

"I lost."

After stabilizing his injuries, Gu Muqian stood up and left with the hun-gold mace.

Up in the restaurant, Ancestor Li Haocang's face darkened slightly.

While behind him, Gu Ying's lips curled up slightly.
