C131 The Final Battle!(part II)

Ying Qian paused before adding, "Imagine how great it would be if our Ming Dynasty could acquire such divine powers."

"And then, what would we have to fear from the mighty Qin Dynasty to the north?"

Ying Zhi ventured cautiously, "Father, surely you're not considering..."

With a light tap on the back of Ying Zhi's head, Ying Qian chided, "What's gotten into your head, boy? Qin Buyi is friendly with you, and I'm not the type to meddle in such matters."

"Moreover, these grand divine abilities come with their own lineages. Without the true inheritance, anyone trying to gain them through nefarious means is simply courting death."

"For all practitioners, particularly the ones with significant divine powers, the Almighty place immense value on their lineage. If they find someone stealing their techniques, it becomes a vendetta that only ends with death."

Ying Zhi, reassured by his father's words, couldn't help but silently criticize, "The real point comes later, doesn't it? Knowing you, you wouldn't bother about my friendship with Mr. Qin unless there were some strong deterrent in place."

In the midst of the arena.

"Killing Swordsmanship: Death Domain!"

Centered around Qin Buyi, a shadowy domain expanded across the entire space.

"This domain is so peculiar, brimming with the aura of death—a rarity in my experience," Bao Shui remarked.

Within the dark domain, Bao Shui felt streams of death Qi burrowing into his body, slightly affecting his combat abilities. While the impact seemed minor at first, in a battle between masters, even the smallest gap could be amplified to inconceivable levels.

Crackling sounds erupted from Bao Shui as he declared,

"Gonggong's Remnant Spell: Water Domain!"

A cerulean domain radiated from Bao Shui, countering the adverse effects of the dark domain.

Bao Shui announced, "Qin Buyi, the legacy I've inherited is known as Gonggong, though it's a pity I possess only remnants of it."

Qin Buyi felt a surge of surprise. He was familiar with Gonggong—an ancient and powerful figure from the primordial Witch Clan, revered as the Water God.

That Bao Shui had received such an inheritance, albeit incomplete, was not something to be taken lightly.

"Gonggong's Remnant Spell: Surge of Waters!"

Within the dark blue realm, a light rain began to fall from the sky, quickly escalating into a downpour.

The raindrops hit Qin Buyi, initially unnoticed.

But as the rain grew heavier, Qin Buyi's joints felt as if they were rusting, his movements becoming slightly delayed.

He swung the Killing Saber before him, declaring, "Killing: Extermination!"

A blood moon ascended, enveloping Qin Buyi in its protective glow.

The phantom of the Killing Saber solidified within the blood moon, shielding him from the rain's assault.

"Gonggong's Remnant Spell: Waters Aflame!"

Bao Shui, seeing his watery erosion thwarted, cast a Magic Spell with a swift motion of his hands.

The raindrops from the sky suddenly shimmered with a layer of blue flame.

These flaming droplets bombarded the blood moon, eliciting a chorus of crackling pops.

Each impact was like a miniature bomb exploding upon the blood moon's surface.

From the heart of the moon, Qin Buyi observed the two distinct powers merge flawlessly and remarked, "Truly, the legacy of Gonggong is remarkable!"

Bao Shui, hearing the compliment, smiled and responded, "I appreciate your kind words, Mr. Qin. Your own saber technique is equally impressive."

"Gonggong's Remnant Technique: River's Flow!"

The scene shifted anew, a brook materializing within the dark blue expanse.

With the sky's rain swelling the stream, it burgeoned into a torrential river.

"Rise!" Bao Shui commanded.

The river's level surged, submerging Qin Buyi, who was within the blood moon, beneath its waves.

"Gonggong's Remnant Technique: Ocean's Expanse!"

In an instant, the river underwent another transformation, expanding exponentially into a vast, cerulean sea that shrouded Qin Buyi.

Bao Shui, gliding through the ocean with the ease of a fish, challenged Qin Buyi, "Now, how do you intend to escape this predicament?"

"Even in the prime of the fiercest fire, it would have to expend considerable effort to break free from such a relentless onslaught."

"Gong Gong's Remnant Spell: Vortex!"

Beneath Qin Buyi, a massive underwater vortex emerged.

A strong suction force rose from beneath, making it seem as though Qin Buyi was trudging through mud, each movement depleting a considerable amount of his strength.

"Gong Gong's Remnant Spell: Undercurrents!"

Streams of water converged above and to the sides of Qin Buyi, sharp as swords, stabbing at the blood moon that shielded him.

"Crack!"

"Snap!"

Cracks spread across the blood moon's surface before it shattered explosively.

"Gong Gong's Remnant Spell: Water Sacrifice!"

Two-thirds of the sea's surface area evaporated in an instant.

The remaining third enveloped Qin Buyi.

As the sea water vanished, the whirlpool's pull at Qin Buyi's feet intensified exponentially.

The surrounding water's assault grew more powerful and relentless.

Bao Shui called out, "Mr. Qin, use whatever tricks you've got."

Qin Buyi responded, "You got it!"

Qin Buyi had been holding back, gathering his strength all this while.

Now, his power had reached a truly fearsome level.

"Killing Swordsmanship: Extermination!"

He unleashed ten consecutive Exterminations.

Ten blood moons ascended within the sea.

Shadows of the Killing Saber materialized within the blood moons, launching an onslaught upon the waters.

"Sss!" "Sss!"

"Sss!"

With each strike of the Killing Saber's phantom, the sea water imperceptibly diminished.

When the ten blood moons faded, roughly one-twentieth of the sea had vanished.

Bao Shui, who had been tense at the sight of the blood moons, felt a weight lift from his chest as only about one-twentieth of the sea had disappeared after they dissipated.

With a sense of relief, Bao Shui taunted, "Instructor Qin, is that the extent of your abilities?"

"Where's that mighty attack of yours, the one brimming with annihilation? Show it to me."

No sooner had Bao Shui spoken than twenty dark blade beams materialized in the arena.

This was Qin Buyi's fearsome Immortal Slaying Combination Skill.

The twenty dark blades, centered on Bao Shui, surged toward him with deadly intent.

"Gong Gong's Remnant Spell: Water Escape!"

In the blink of an eye, Bao Shui materialized on the opposite side of the twenty pitch-black blade beams.

"Boom!"

The collision of the twenty pitch-black blade beams erupted in a thunderous roar.

A blinding burst of light exploded from the epicenter, a glare too intense for the naked eye.

The Annihilation Light radiated outward, the sea receding at a rate of ten percent with each breath taken.

Bao Shui had barely come to a halt when, before he could even catch his breath, Qin Buyi's voice echoed from behind:

"I anticipated you'd show up here."

Bao Shui whirled around, his voice laced with astonishment, "What?"

But as he turned, it wasn't just Qin Buyi's silhouette he saw.

Also looming ominously close were twenty pitch-black blade beams.

"Gong Gong's Remnant Spell: Water..."

"Boom!"

This time, Bao Shui didn't manage to evade as before; the twenty pitch-black blade beams struck true.
