With the power of wind, footwork intent, and a divine technique like the Sky Measuring Step, Xiang Shaoyun was confident his speed was unparalleled among his peers. However, Beiming Tianpeng was born with the heavenly peng wings. The heavenly peng was one of the fastest living beings in existence, and the wings granted him a terrifying speed.
The two moved at their maximum speed, making it impossible for the others to see them. The others could only see the explosions that erupted each time the two collided. The White Lotus Alliance members were forced to withdraw far away for fear of being hit by the shockwaves of the battle.
"The holy son is personally making a move. He will definitely be able to give Xiang Shaoyun a miserable beating."
"The holy son's Heavenly Peng Technique is peerless. Nobody is his match, not even Xiang Shaoyun."
"Their speed is terrifying. I reckon even Gods will probably only be as fast as this."
...
The White Lotus Alliance rarely had the chance to witness Beiming Tianpeng fight. However, each time Beiming Tianpeng made a move, he would never fail to kill his opponent. Thus, they were filled with confidence toward Beiming Tianpeng.
In truth, Beiming Tianpeng was also fully confident in himself. But when he saw how Xiang Shaoyun was keeping up with his speed, his confidence started wavering. Speed was his biggest advantage over other cultivators, and this was not an advantage he could afford to lose.
Xiang Shaoyun, I'll definitely defeat you! roared Beiming Tianpeng inwardly. His wings moved even faster, releasing layer after layer of frosty waves that swept toward Xiang Shaoyun.
He aimed to freeze space itself and slow Xiang Shaoyun's movement. Only then would he be able to end this fight with Xiang Shaoyun. The power of extreme frost successfully caused some disturbances for Xiang Shaoyun, but Xiang Shaoyun was someone who had comprehended nine profundities, including the profundity of ice. Thus, the frosty assault was nothing for him.
Ice to water!
The energy around him swirled, and the surrounding ice was transformed into water. The water was then returned to Beiming Tianpeng in the form of water waves.
The Peng Soars Far Away!
With a frown, Beiming Tianpeng utilized yet another one of his heavenly peng techniques. His wings grew even larger before he swung them at Xiang Shaoyun as if they were a pair of weapons. The wings swept forth, causing space to collapse and compress Xiang Shaoyun, forcing him to meet the attack head on instead of evading it.
"Break!" Xiang Shaoyun spun the Divine Yin Yang Sword once before unleashing a yin and yang slash. The domineering slash tore through Beiming Tianpeng's attack, making it impossible for the attack to pose too much threat to Xiang Shaoyun.
However, the attack was merely bait. Beiming Tianpeng's true attack had yet to come. He noiselessly arrived behind Xiang Shaoyun and furiously clawed at Xiang Shaoyun. Xiang Shaoyun had been too careless; he had underestimated Beiming Tianpeng. The Divine Yin Yang Sword had caused him to be somewhat overconfident in himself.
Hiss!
The claws struck his back, tearing his flesh apart and spilling his blood. Beiming Tianpeng pressed on with more attacks toward Xiang Shaoyun's vitals.
"I want you to die!" Beiming Tianpeng unleashed all his astral energy and tore at Xiang Shaoyun with his pair of heavenly peng claws, which could tear even the heaven and earth apart.
Xiang Shaoyun had rich combat experience, so he was naturally aware of the danger he was in. He stirred the energy in his body and erupted with life and death energies to form a Yin Yang Shield that shielded his entire body.
Even so, Beiming Tianpeng's killing moves were not to be underestimated. Even with the shield, the impact of the attacks still sent Xiang Shaoyun crashing into the ground. The overbearing attacks created a string of explosions, causing all of Xiang Shaoyun's companions to be alarmed. Could Xiang Shaoyun resist such a brutal beating?
As for the White Lotus Sect members, they were all cheering in joy. Earlier, Xiang Shaoyun had given all of them a terrible beating. Now, their holy son was doing the same to him. Thus, this was an extremely enjoyable battle for them to watch. However, before they could be happy for long, powerful yin and yang energies circulated and caused even Beiming Tianpeng to rapidly retreat.
He retreated because one of the compositions of the yin and yang energies was death energy. Not even a pseudo-God would dare to get near such energy. The power of death was too terrifying.
"Are you done? It's my turn now," said Xiang Shaoyun as he put the Divine Yin Yang Sword away. An intense battle intent erupted from his body.
Prior to this, he had been entranced by the Divine Yin Yang Sword and nearly lost himself to it. Thus, he stopped relying on the sword and instead relied on his own strength to defeat Beiming Tianpeng.
As he advanced with the Sky Measuring Step, he activated the Death Eyes, aiming to deprive Beiming Tianpeng of his life force. Beiming Tianpeng repeatedly shifted his position, not giving Xiang Shaoyun the chance to catch him. He could sense that something was off about Xiang Shaoyun's eyes.
"Nobody can compete against me in terms of speed. You can't catch me. You'll be the one to die," said Beiming Tianpeng as he flickered to Xiang Shaoyun's side before clawing at Xiang Shaoyun's neck.
"Bring it on," Xiang Shaoyun replied as he utilized the power of tai chi in his palms. He then sent his palms against the incoming claws.
The others might not be able to see Beiming Tianpeng's attack, but Xiang Shaoyun could. As a series of palm attacks were released, his palms unleashed an unending soft energy that swirled around Beiming Tianpeng's claws.
Tai Chi Yin Yang Palm!
When Beiming Tianpeng's claws met the palm energy, he felt like something soft had wound around his claws. He couldn't even withdraw his claws if he wanted, and at this time, Xiang Shaoyun's palms struck his body.
Numerous palm prints were left on Beiming Tianpeng's body, but the attacks hadn't been able to kill him due to the Dark Ice Divine Armor on his body. That was a true god-grade armor, and it wouldn't be easy for Xiang Shaoyun to destroy it with his bare hands. Beiming Tianpeng naturally wouldn't sit around doing nothing as he was attacked. A large amount of ice covered his body and froze his immediate surroundings.
Spacefreeze Ice!
He unleashed his origin frost energy, and a transparent ice sword replaced his claws. The sword fused with his wings before stabbing forward.
Myriad Feather Ice Spike!
Beiming Tianpeng had been pushed to his limits, forcing him to unleash a strength that could kill even Gods.
"I'll let you fall into complete despair before dying!" said Xiang Shaoyun, becoming furious as well. Three strands of God Realm energy appeared and swirled around his body while primal chaos energy replaced his yin and yang energies. Numerous clumps of energy crashed ahead like collapsing stars, unleashing a terrifying might that could end worlds.
Three Lives Fist!
Rumble! Rumble!
A massive mushroom-shaped energy explosion erupted, and shockwaves spread in all directions, greatly alarming all the onlookers.
