Martialism
The Chapter 70
Yixian the Celestial Fairy raised both her hands and stood up, showing a defensive attitude. This defensive stance was much more difficult for him than other times as he had to divert most of his internal strength to keep his balance and to fight against the ferocious vortex that threatened to blow him up into the dark sky that was turn around above.
Yi Ping panicked when he saw a huge fireball descending from the sky as he gave a martial cry and tried to accelerate his pace amidst the typhoon!
Yixian was surprised when she turned around and saw her shadow figure in the blurred windstorm, “Ping’Er, why are you here?!”
But his attention immediately returned to the fiery fireball that was on it.
As the fireball approached, Yixian and Yi Ping could feel the burning heat and suffocating pressure from the huge one. The ground beneath them shook violently and cracks appeared on the ground as the fireball fell down!
Yixian was frightened when she saw the fireball but her desire was firm. He was determined to do his best and he quickly regained his composure.
He did not dare to be rash as he quickly displayed the Divine Emerald Skill to the ninth level, Absolute Defense Attitude. With some difficulty, he managed to raise his internal strength to its peak and raise the level of the Divine Emerald Skill to the tenth level in a short period of time as the fireball had directly impacted on it, send out several smaller fireballs in different directions!
As the fireball exploded and exploded above him, the ground beneath him collapsed as the pressure from his fireball and his Divine Emerald Skill collided violently!
Just when he thought that he was unable to withstand the collision anymore, the shattered fireball began to break apart and fly in all directions and most of the fireballs ended up being sucked into the dark vortex above.
Yixian was surprised when she thought curiously, “It seems like the dark vortex above me is also indirectly helping me? If there were no strong whirlwind above me, I strongly doubt I could hold the fireball in place with just my martial skills alone. Is a Divine Disaster a test of one's courage and determination?”
In the end, he had only suffered a few minor burns but was otherwise unharmed.
Yi Ping was almost forcefully swept aside when a huge fireball hit Yixian. He displayed the Asper Continuum Horizon Hands with his martial power, blowing up and deflecting the smaller fireball with a few powerful punches as it flew towards him!
The huge fireball had exploded with a thunderous impact, stirring up the dust like a huge mushroom and sending out a windstorm that was burning in all directions!
When the dust had dissipated, Yi Ping was relieved to see Yixian still standing but he was panting. He was not injured but the shock he received was evident in him …
Yixian suddenly realized that Yi Ping was standing beside her.
Yixian said, “Ping’Er, why are you here? You shouldn't have come. It's very dangerous. I can feel that this is just the beginning. Quick go!”
Yi Ping said with****** soft*, “Xian’Er, I know I won't be of much help but if you leave, I don't have the courage to live either. I really want to dare to go through this with you.”
Yixian looked at the determination in her eyes and knew that she would not listen. He also did not have much strength to protest. He simply closed his eyes to recuperate as much as possible while waiting for the next disaster to happen.
He just said, “Be careful!”
Yi Ping said, “I'll do it. Don't worry about me. Don't let me be your nuisance. I'll take care of myself. I am not a target of divine doom.”
They began to hold hands as they fought the strong winds with their internal strength together.
The ground beneath them rumbled violently and vibrations could be felt endlessly.
At this moment, the sky became even darker and ominous.
Purple lightning began to streak across the dark clouds and the sound of thunder grew louder. Purple lightning bolts flickered and struck the ground around them, electrocuting and stirring up the dust storm around them!
At the same time, the relentless gales produced from the dark vortex also increased in anger and tried to pull them towards it!
Yixian paled, “Ping’Er, this lightning disaster. You should leave immediately. Lightning shock waves can hit the surroundings. You will be in great danger!”
He had heard from Lele and Lie Qing that among all the Divine Disasters, the Lightning Calamity was the most feared. It was sometimes called the Three Divine Lightning as it would strike three times before it could stop. Every time lightning strikes, the next one will be more deadly than the last one!
Yi Ping looked at his eyes gently and he placed his hand on his shoulder, “Xian’Er, you focus on the incoming lightning disaster. I will use my martial power to calm you down. Don't bother about me ..”
Yixian knew she could not persuade Yi Ping in time and if she did not have enough preparation, she would cause the two of them to be killed instantly. Therefore, he raised his martial power once again and formed ‘Amplete Defense Attitude as he prepared for the impending lightning disaster.
Suddenly, a streak of white lightning rumbled and landed right in front of the Heavenly Elf! This lightning appeared suddenly and descended so quickly in the blink of an eye that if he did not prepare himself, he would definitely be electrocuted instantly.
The moment the lightning struck ‘The Absolute Defense Attitude’, the impact was so jarring that Yi Ping thought that they would soon perish!
Yixian's fingers trembled as she barely repelled the power of the lightning. He turned around and asked, “Yi Ping, are you okay?”
Yi Ping felt a surge of electrical energy burst through him. It was as if his heart was about to explode at that moment. He immediately inhaled and used Divine Revelation to control his heartbeat.
He said, “Xian’Er, I'm fine. My joints feel a little stiff. Is it done?”
Shui Yixian raised her martial power again and shook her head, “If the divine disaster stops, then the wind will subside as well. But it does not stop and even blows stronger.”
Yi Ping instantly turned pale. In the past he would have never believed that fire and lightning would descend from the sky and would descend upon a person with a vengeance as if he had his own will!
Both Shui Yixian and Yi Ping were trying to increase their martial power as much as they could to prepare for the next catastrophic attack. It was an attempt to gather their martial power as they also used most of their martial power to resist the threatening strong winds that could at times pluck them off the ground and suck they were into a dark vortex above them.
An even bigger and blue lightning roared and shot towards Yixian.
It hit the invisible barrier created by ‘The Absolute Defense Attitude’ and this time he shouted and fell to the ground. As if there was no resistance between ‘Absolute’ Defense Attitude and a nasty blue lightning strike.
Yi Ping too, was thrown to the ground as he sensed the terrifying power of the blue lightning!
There were small sparks and a burning smell around them.
But Yi Ping quickly struggled to stand up as he called frantically, “Xian’Er, are you okay?”
Yixian was also panting, “Yi Ping, how are you?” At his most critical moment, his only concern was Yi Ping and not himself. He grabbed his hand and held it to the ground as he could feel his martial power dissipating. That was to prevent it from being thrown into the dark vortex above because the powerful force of the strong gales did not stop his anger; instead it grew stronger at all times!
Yi Ping suffered severe burns as the lightning strike had passed through Yixian and through her body!
As Yixian called out to her, she quickly recovered her consciousness. “Xian’Er, I'm fine.” He used his martial power again and steadied himself as he said weakly to Yixian. “You have to concentrate, I'm really fine.”
Yixian looked at him sadly, “Yi Ping, I ..”
It was because he had discovered that the Divine Emerald Skill could only stop so much lightning power and could not prevent it from piercing him. Just when a blue lightning strike passed through him, he felt a severe shock but the shock was quickly reduced by another force; yi Ping had drawn a lot of lightning power with his martial power.
And now, Yi Ping was reaching his limit; his heart would not be able to withstand the shock anymore and handle the burning temperature from the other lightning strikes.
Yi Ping reminded him, “Xian’Er, you should concentrate. I think the third lightning is coming!”
Yixian reluctantly turned her back from him and after much difficulty lifted ‘Absolute’ Defense Attitude again. His fingers were trembling, his footing was unstable and even his body was swaying!
But he knew that Yi Ping had suffered even worse injuries than him.
It gave him the determination to gather his struggling internal strength as he was determined not to let Yi Ping get any more hurt!
The wind grew stronger and lightning streaked across the sky continuously! It was as if heaven was testing the limits of their endurance!
Yi Ping pondered as sweat covered his entire face, “If the divine lightning does not strike now, we will die from exhaustion first!”
Indeed, he was right.
Yixian broke out in cold sweat as she struggled to maintain ‘Absolute’ Defense Attitude. He did not dare to stop the flow of his internal strength because the Divine Lightning would attack at any time!
Yixian said softly, without losing her enchanting attitude, “If we can survive this last tribulation then we can survive! Ping’Er, please wait!”
Suddenly, a purple lightning strike, stronger than the previous two lightning strikes struck with a brilliant purplish glow at them!
As soon as Yixian saw the lightning strike, she immediately raised all of her martial power to its peak and Yi Ping also did the same!
Yi Ping saw that Yixian was losing her strength so quickly that she supported Yixian with her left hand to eradicate her to the ground and used the rest of her martial power to display the Asper Divinity Horizon Hand as she clashed with the purple lightning coming in!
Suddenly and at the same time, there was another brilliant flash of light from another part of the sky that struck the purple lightning!
There was a brilliant clash of explosions and flashes of light binding as the ground below them exploded with a rumble!
Yi Ping and Yixian were both thrown across the platform!
The roaring wind suddenly subsided and the dark clouds suddenly dispersed. As if that never happened!
The cloudy sky had three slits as three rays of brilliant white light seemed to descend gently onto the fallen Yixian.
Yi Ping twitched as he could feel a gentle calming force entering his body!
His first thought was, “Am I going to become a Heavenly? We have overcome the Divine Disaster?”
But when he thought of Yunzi, Youxue and Lingfeng who had yet to overcome the Divine Disaster, he felt a terrible sadness as he recalled the remaining memories of the White Sage.
If he was a Celestial, then he would not be able to help them in the future. It was a result he did not want to see.
Not wanting to be separated from them, he did not hesitate at all as he rejected the Divine Power entering his body …
As he woke up weakly, he saw Yixian already standing quietly beside him.
He smiled at her…
His eyes had turned red and now he had a divine air around him that was similar to Lele, Lie Qing, Yu’Er, Mei’Er and Shen Xinyue.
Yixian was looking at the golden sword thrust into the ground. It was enveloped by a golden halo and had landed right where they stood just a moment ago …
He muttered, “This sword has just saved our lives by absorbing lightning. I wonder what it is. The sword appeared suddenly from the sky above.”.
As he pondered this question, he was greeted by excited cries as everyone ran out of the cave excitedly!
Lele had already hugged him as he said excitedly, “You have now awakened as a Heavenly! Congratulations Sister! I know that you will definitely overcome the Divine Disaster! Moreover, you have just overcome the Three Divine Lightning! It was one of the most terrifying Divine Disasters that could happen. I almost fainted from fright when I saw him!”
Lie Qing, Yu’Er and Mei’Er wiped the tears from their eyes.
Lie Qing and Lele were very excited. It was because Yixian finally overcame the Divine Disaster on her first attempt, a misery that they had failed in their first attempt. The failure caused their confidence to plummet and they were afraid that the same fate would be experienced by Yixian too.
Shen Xinyue panted heavily as she pointed to the golden sword thrust into the ground, “That is the Heavenly Earth Sword! This sword is the peak sword of the Heavenly Star Formation and it is the only heavenly sword that can unleash Universal Strength and withstand Divine Disaster!”
Yixian smiled weakly, “Is that so? I wonder why it's here.”.
Shen Xinyue also thought of the same thing, “I don't know but this sword originally belongs to you and it seems that the Heavenly Earth Sword is here to help you ..”
She was interrupted by Mei’Er and Yu’Er who hugged Yixian with a gentle excited cry, followed by the others!
Youxue held hands with Yunzi as they stared at the Heavenly Elf happily.
Xiao Shuai, Han Shaodong, the Three Wise Men, Shangguan Qingyun, Yan Nanfei, Huo Fu, Ji Wuzheng, Dugu Zhen and the other girls crowded around Yi Ping and Yixian excitedly, express concern and joyous applause!
Lingfeng was secretly surprised, “This is the Heavenly Earth Sword?”
He quietly raised a trembling finger towards him and was surprised to find that the sword was indeed emitting remnants of Universal Power!
He had already thought, “This is the secret key that Celestial in Beyond had been looking for all this time?”
His mind was interrupted by the startled sighs of Lie Qing who was looking at Yi Ping gently, “Ping’Er, why are you not yet a Celestial?”
Immediately, Shen Xinyue and Lele turned pale!
Shen Xinyue muttered with a shocked expression, “I have never heard of anyone who can resist the Divine Power of a Divine Disaster. You should have become a Heavenly after overcoming the Lightning Calamity. This is impossible ..”
Yi Ping was speechless as he stole glances at Yunzi, Youxue and Lingfeng, “I just don't want to be a Heavenly yet ..”
Yunzi sighed softly but secretly she was happy…
Youxue. He knew he was doing it for her. If Yi Ping became a Celestial and if he did not do so in the future, they would be separated.
Lingfeng looked at Yi Ping gently and her eyes were affectionate …
But Lele was obviously not happy!
He said melancholy, “You may have let go of the only chance you have of possibly waking up as a Celestial Sage. Geez know what the consequences and implications will be in the future?”
Yi Ping said weakly, “Nothing ..”
Lele interrupts, “That's not good. That's because from now on, Yixian and I will have to leave you to continue our celestial development or the consequences in the future will be terrible for us!”
Yi Ping was shocked, “Lele, Xian’Er, where are you going? Where to?”
Lie Qing said quietly, “That's right. We're all going. That includes Yu’Er, Mei’Er and Shen Xinyue as well. Although Sister Xian’Er has now woken up but this is only the beginning. Most of us have not even completed the first heavenly stage. It is also the most critical stage that will determine our future progress and destiny. That is why we must go so that we are not disturbed by worldly attachments. If you have become a Celestial, you can come with us to continue training. But you haven't done it and we can't wait for you.”
Shen Xinyue added gently as she looked at Yi Ping with gentle tears, “I will be waiting for you. You also have to endure, until we meet again.”
Yi Ping was stunned as he muttered, “Should we part?”
Xiao Shuai and Han Shaodong were also surprised and they said loudly at the same time, “Xian’Er, you will leave us?!”
Yixian nodded uncomfortably as she stole a glance towards Yi Ping.
Martial Sage stuttered, “Xian’Er, I also want to become a Celestial. Wait me. Don't go first ..”
Shangguan Qingyun also stuttered, “Xian’Er, you will leave us so quickly?”
Yixian sighed softly as she picked up the Heavenly Earth Sword, “If fate permits, we will definitely meet again.”
Shen Xinyue said, “Be careful with Dark Celestials when we are not around.”
Lele emphasized, “Not all Dark Celestials are from Celestial Palace. Beware of heretical sects.”
Yi Ping was surprised, “Besides Dark Celestials from Celestial Palace, there are other Dark Celestials elsewhere?”
Shen Xinyue nodded, “There are more Dark Celestials and Celestials than you think. The battle between the Dark Celestials and Celestials never stopped.”
Lele quietly turned around and her eyes melancholy. It's because he's hiding a secret. He had long suspected that his grandfather had turned into the Dark Heavenly …
