Ding Yuan's blood was surging in his chest. He knew that he couldn't fight head-on. He could only bend his legs and shoot into the sky like a yellow crane, dodging the strong wind of the Golden Wind Jade Dew Palm.
Feng Xueyan didn't stop moving. He swept past Su Zhiyu like a gust of wind. The jade Ruyi scepter flashed with a cold light and pointed straight at her throat. Su Zhiyu saw that Ding Yuan was in a critical situation and wanted to help him, but when she saw the Jade Ruyi from the Snow Cliff, she could only withdraw her sword and seal the door.
Unexpectedly, the Snow Cliff was like a dragonfly skimming the water. Before Su Zhiyu could lock the jade Ruyi with the Snow Immortal Sword, she had already used a fake body to bully Ding Yuan. He moved back and forth as fast as lightning, but in the blink of an eye, he had already arrived beside Ding Yuan and reached out to grab Ding Yuan's shoulder.
Ding Yuan activated his sword aura, and the Snowfield Sword flashed towards the left hand of the Snow Cliff. Snow Cliff seemed to have expected this move from Ding Yuan. As soon as he swung his sword, his left hand changed from a claw to a palm. It twisted in the air strangely and pressed down on Ding Yuan's chest.
Ding Yuan did a backflip in the air, and his legs turned into countless phantoms as he kicked towards Snow Cliff's left palm.
However, after two exchanges, Snow Cliff already had some understanding of Ding Yuan's moves. Naturally, he would not be caught off guard like last time. As soon as he saw Ding Yuan turn around, he knew what he meant. The Mysterious Ice Jade Ruyi shot out a ray of light and struck the seven major acupoints on Ding Yuan's chest.
" Pa pa ", a few crisp sounds rang out as the two of them clashed with their fists and legs. Ding Yuan's legs were numb from the impact of Feng Xueyan's palm. He tapped the tip of his right foot on Feng Xueyan's palm and used the force to retreat. However, the silver light was attracted by the aura and followed closely like a maggot attached to the bone.
Ding Yuan did not panic in the face of danger. His left palm quickly slapped out, setting off a strong gust of wind. Grandmaster Buyi, who was watching the battle in the valley, said in a low voice,""Not good!"
With a muffled pop, the silver light was instantly shattered by Ding Yuan's palm wind, exploding into thousands of cold stars that emitted a bewitching light.
Blizzard Cliff's left palm spat out Genuine Qi, and a gust of strong wind swept up the cold stars and scattered all over the sky, shooting toward Ding Yuan like an avalanche.
Ding Yuan was surrounded by a ball of silver light. He could only weave an airtight net of light with the Snowfield Sword to protect his entire body. At this moment, he was alarmed. Like a ghost, Feng Xueyan moved sideways to his right wing, and with his left palm filled with genuine Qi, he silently broke through the sword net and slapped towards his lower abdomen.
Su Zhiyu had already caught up from behind, but unfortunately, the Snow Cliff was too fast, so she was always half a beat slower. Her sword, Yingxue, was as swift as a swan and went straight for the back of Blizzard Cliff, intending to save Ding Yuan from his predicament.
The Snow Cliff seemed to have eyes on its back. The jade Ruyi was swung backward and accurately hacked at the Yingxue Sword. The speed of his left palm did not decrease and was only a few inches away from Ding Yuan's lower abdomen. Su Zhiyu adapted to the situation and used the Surging Snow Sword to lure away the Mysterious Ice Jade Ruyi. She then spat out a gust of wind from her left palm and blasted it towards the center of the Snowstorm Cliff.
These few movements were long, but it only took the blink of an eye for the three of them. Ding Yuan did not have time to retract his Snowfield Sword, so he could only press down with his left fist to seal off Snow Cliff's Golden Wind Jade Dew Palm.
Ding Yuan's body was sent flying like a rock. Blizzard Cliff was also shocked by Ding Yuan's counterforce. He had used almost 90% of his palm power to injure Ding Yuan, but as soon as the Nine Heavens Squall entered Ding Yuan's body, he immediately received a strong rebound, causing his blood and Qi to fluctuate.
Borrowing the power of Ding Yuan's fist, Feng Xueyan's body suddenly sank, and Su Zhiyu's palm wind only hit empty air.
However, Su Zhiyu was not in the mood to chase after him. She flew towards Ding Yuan and stretched out her left arm to catch him.
Ding Yuan felt a sweet taste in his throat. A thread of blood flowed out from the corner of his mouth and dripped onto his shirt. All the meridians in his body were in excruciating pain from the impact of the Nine Heavens Squall, and the genuine Qi in his dantian had accumulated in his chest and could not flow upward. He knew that he had already suffered internal injuries.
At this time, Sheng Nian had only counted to the thirteenth move in his heart.
Mo Jing frowned and said,"Oh no, they're going to lose!"”Even if Mo Jing did not say this, Master Buyi and the others could see it clearly.
Even though Su Zhiyu was unharmed and still had the strength to fight, it was mostly because the Snow Cliff had shown mercy and attacked Ding Yuan.
As for Ding Yuan, everyone could see that with his injuries, it was already difficult for him to continue fighting. If he could barely hold on, he would only need five more moves at most. This would definitely be difficult for his children to escape.
Master Buyi hesitated for a moment. He couldn't bear to see Ding Yuan and Su Zhiyu injured by the Snow Cliff, so he turned his head and asked,"Perfected One, do you want to admit defeat?"
The Immortal Danyan's ugly face didn't change at all. He stared at the sky and replied in a low voice,""Wait a minute."
At this moment, Su Zhiyu supported Ding Yuan and asked with concern,"Brother Ding, how are you?"
Ding Yuan suppressed the blood that rushed to his throat and panted,"I'm fine!" Suddenly, a gentle and cool true energy surged into his left palm. It turned out that Su Zhiyu was healing him.
Feng Xueyan floated across the two of them and asked with a cold smile,""Brat, do you admit defeat?"
Ding Yuan only felt a clear stream flowing from his left arm, and his almost numb arm gradually regained consciousness. The zhenqi that had accumulated in his meridians was also slowly unblocked under the urging of this clear stream. The two streams of zhenqi merged into one and flowed down his shoulder, chest, and dantian.
With a loud bang, a ball of hot flame rolled up in Ding Yuan's dantian and blended with the flowing Genuine Qi, quickly expanding to fill the entire copper furnace. Ding Yuan's face couldn't help but turn red, and a beam of light shot out from his eyes.
He grunted and felt the Qi waves in his Dantian churning as if it was about to explode. He couldn't help but let out an earth-shattering howl. There were no signs of internal injuries from before.
Ding Yuan let out a long howl and exhaled the foul air that had accumulated in his chest. He felt a great relief. The genuine Qi in his dantian surged and quickly circulated around his body. Finally, it flowed back to Su Zhiyu through the Shaochong Six Acupoints on the five fingers of his left hand. As a result, the zhenqi in their bodies was integrated and circulated without any hindrance.
It turned out that Su Zhiyu had used the heart technique of the Qingyang Dual Cultivation Secret Record to transfer the "One Heavenly True Essence" that she had cultivated for more than ten years into Ding Yuan's body. The true qi of the two of them had gone through a night of fusion the day before yesterday. Now, they had merged together, like a couple in love reuniting, immediately fusing into a stream that no longer separated them.
The Nine Heavens Squall that had invaded Ding Yuan's meridians from the Snow Cliff was indeed powerful, but under the impact of the two's supreme immortal zhenqi, it could only dissipate without a trace.
This mystery could be said to be mysterious beyond mystery, how could anyone not know?
Su Zhiyu could feel the energy from Ding Yuan's palm. She couldn't help but tighten her grip on his left hand.
Her beautiful eyes rippled, and her gentle gaze swept across Ding Yuan's face in an instant. Her eyes were filled with joy and warmth, and there was no trace of the Snow Cliff at all.
Ding Yuan also smiled slightly and looked down at her. Although he did not have the time to say anything, Su Zhiyu clearly understood the hidden language in his eyes. It was Ding Yuan's gratitude and comfort to her, and there was also an unyielding fighting spirit!
Strangely enough, the two of them seemed to understand each other's thoughts. It was as if the zhenqi flowing between them was also like a bridge, fusing their hearts together.
But for some reason, Ding Yuan saw a hint of sadness hidden in Su Zhiyu's eyes. It was as clear and hazy as the moonlight, and it contained an unspeakable heart language. As if in response, he tightened his grip.
Blizzard Cliff was startled, but he reacted quickly. He knew that he could not let Ding Yuan catch his breath. He stretched out his body and transformed into a group of clones in the air, encircling them like a fan.
Sheng Nian's mood, which had just relaxed a little, immediately rose again. He frowned and said,"Snow Cliff is actually going to use the Nine Shadows of the Sky. Looks like he's going all out!”
The Nine Shadows of the Sky was one of the top movement techniques of the demonic path. The nine figures seemed to be illusions, but in fact, it was because the Snow Cliff was too fast that others could not distinguish between the real and the fake. Moreover, he could avoid the enemy's attack at any time, turning the illusion into the real body, making it impossible for the opponent to guard against him. That day, Sheng Nian, Mo Jing, and the Snow Cliff fought fiercely for more than 30 rounds. If Sheng Nian had not saved them with all his might, Mo Jing would have almost been injured by this Nine Shadows of the Sky.
Ding Yuan and Su Zhiyu seemed to have stood on the peak of the mountain and the mouth of the waves. The murderous aura that could topple mountains and overturn the seas, driven by the strong wind, hit them in the face. It was so oppressive that the two of them could not breathe.
Ding Yuan held Su Zhiyu's soft hand with his left hand, and the Snowfield Sword in his right hand let out a crisp and pleasant bamboo sound. The tip of the sword lit up with green light, and nine green lotus sword flowers appeared.
Su Zhiyu drew her Yingxue sword and held it horizontally in front of her chest. She condensed her sword Qi and locked her eyes on the nine phantoms of the Snow Cliff.
"Ding, ding, ding." The sound of metal and stone rang out nine times in a row. Ding Yuan's "Nine Bends Green Lotus"
After being neutralized by the Snow Cliff, Su Zhiyu's eyes narrowed. With a clear shout, the sword of Surplus Snow struck the leftmost clone of the Snow Cliff.
It turned out that Su Zhiyu had already determined the changes in the clone of the Snow Cliff from the nine sounds. She and Ding Yuan, one virtual and one real, worked together seamlessly, displaying Qing Yang's Dual Cultivation Sword Manual to its fullest.
However, at this moment, the figures that filled the sky at the Blizzard Cliff suddenly disappeared into thin air, as if they had evaporated from the air. The sword lost its target and stabbed into thin air.
Wind Escape!
Ding Yuan and Su Zhiyu looked at each other and connected their minds. Both of them flew up like a pair of butterflies with colorful wings. Their body movements were ever-changing and difficult to grasp. Even though the Snow Wind Cliff relied on the Wind Evasion to hide, they were unable to find a good opportunity to attack.
The three of them were in a stalemate for a moment. The Snow Cliff finally appeared again. The ghost-like figure appeared behind the two of them. The Mystic Ice Jade Ruyi released a white gale. The water vapor in the air instantly condensed into fine frost, mixed with "silk".
The sound of air being torn apart swept over.
Ding Yuan didn't even look at him. He flipped over and drew his sword. With a move of " Riding the Wind and Riding the Waves ", Qi Penetrating the Rainbow, he split apart layers of astral winds. It pierced straight into the heart of the Snow Cliff.
Su Zhiyu understood what he meant. Without any warning, the Yingxue Sword spun with a gentle light, like an open shield, and received the attack of the Mystic Ice Jade Ruyi.
The two of them attacked and defended with great accuracy. Feng Xueyan could only flick his left hand and shoot out a cold light to block Ding Yuan's Snowfield Sword. Su Zhiyu's Surging Snow Sword even swung out a sword light without hesitation, sweeping towards the left rib of the Snow Cliff.
Blizzard Cliff's body swayed and he moved several feet horizontally. He couldn't gain the slightest advantage in one move.
For the first time, Ding Yuan had forced the Snow Cliff back. He couldn't help but feel refreshed. He let go of Su Zhiyu's delicate hand and exhaled loudly, throwing out the Twenty-Two Words Fist. The wind from the fist surged and swallowed the mountains and rivers.
The three of them stepped on the wind mist and fought more and more fiercely. After three to five moves, they were evenly matched. Ding Yuan and Su Zhiyu were not inferior at all.
Seeing that the twenty moves were about to arrive, the Snow Cliff suddenly whistled. The Mysterious Ice Jade Ruyi weaved balls of cold silk, wrapping Ding Su and the others tightly, as if they would be swallowed by this monstrous wave at any time.
However, Ding Yuan and Su Zhiyu were completely immersed in the state of selflessness at this moment. The cultivation in their bodies was unleashed to the extreme. Their bodies were like Wang Yang's lonely boat floating and sinking, never dying.
A cluster of green light suddenly burst out from Feng Xueyan's eyes. He gathered all the Nine Heavens Squall in his left palm and struck out like a landslide. A pale golden gale rolled up and rushed towards Ding Yuan and Su Zhiyu.
It turned out that he knew that if he continued to fight like this, not to mention twenty moves, even thirty moves might not be able to finish off the two of them. In a moment of desperation, he did not hesitate to use his true essence and used the final move of the Golden Wind Jade Dew Palm,"Golden Dew Jade Screen".
When the people in the valley saw that Ding Yuan and Su Zhiyu had recovered from their disadvantage, they felt a little relieved. Unexpectedly, in order to achieve a quick victory, the Snow Cliff used his unparalleled secret skill, the Golden Dew Jade Screen, which shocked the entire continent.
The faint golden gale suddenly expanded into a nine-foot-tall and two-hundred-foot-wide pillar of wind in the air. It continuously spiraled and whistled rapidly, like an open giant's arm, encircling the two of them.
No matter how fast Ding Yuan and Su Zhiyu's movements were, they were like birds in a cage trapped in this wind pillar. They had no other choice but to grit their teeth and take it head-on.
The expressions of Master Buyi and the others all changed slightly. The Sword in the Stone on Sheng Nian's back suddenly shot out half of its black blade, letting out a low dragon roar. As long as the situation above was not right, they would immediately come to the rescue.
Naturally, he could not ignore the agreement between the Snow Cliff and the others, but he could not watch as Ding Yuan and Su Zhiyu were injured by the Snow Cliff. At most, he would just admit defeat after the battle.
Blizzard Cliff's left palm was pulsing with golden light as he continuously activated the astral winds. However, he was suffering in his heart.
If he were to use the Golden Dew Jade Screen, it would consume at least a year of his cultivation. If Ding and Su were to fight him with their zhenqi, he might have wasted countless years of hard work.
However, he was already on the bowstring and had no choice but to release it. No matter what, he could not let Ding Yuan and Su Zhiyu last twenty moves under his hands, even if it meant consuming his true essence.
Ding Yuan became more and more courageous as he fought. Although the wind pillar was pressing down from all directions like a stormy sea, he was not afraid in his heart. He took a deep breath and shouted,"I'll do it!" Su Zhiyu nodded slightly and gently pressed her left palm on Ding Yuan's back, injecting the "Tianyi Genuine Qi" into him.
As the two streams of zhenqi, one hard and one soft, collided, Ding Yuan felt the zhenqi in his entire body surging as if it was about to explode. His fingers clenched into a fist, and he struck the void above his head.
A burst of green light suddenly rose up, covering the sky like an open giant umbrella. Then, it poured down like a waterfall, enveloping the two of them in a gorgeous green light.
With a deafening boom, the two rays of light collided head-on. The entire valley shook violently like an earthquake. The small lake at the bottom of the valley surged with waves, and columns of water shot into the sky. Countless mountain rocks shattered into pieces, flying in the air like locusts. Together with the uprooted pine trees and cypresses, they fell into the valley.
The wooden houses where Grandmaster Buyi and Sheng Nian lived were unexpectedly sturdy. Although they kept creaking, they actually did not collapse.
Light flew across the sky, and wind billowed. Wisps of white light were so piercing that people could not open their eyes. The sound of the wind was like the rolling of wheels in their ears, and the chaotic wind was moving everywhere, desperately tearing apart the chaotic sky.
The expressions of Grandmaster Buyi and the others all changed drastically. Sheng Nian's tiger eyes widened as he shouted,"Junior Brother Ding!" Ignoring the raging wind above his head, he was about to ride his sword and fly up when he saw a figure beside him flash and a streak of dark blue sword light shoot up into the sky. It was the Immortal Danyan who had made the first move.
Ding Yuan and Su Zhiyu were sent flying by the violent waves. Their bodies were like broken kites that kept rolling and drifting. They were shaken for several miles before they stabilized themselves.
Ding Yuan's eyes were filled with golden light, and he could no longer distinguish north, south, east, and west. His clothes were torn inch by inch. His dantian was empty and he could not feel a trace of true qi. However, the qi in his meridians surged and stirred up the world, as if there were thousands of golden needles stabbing down continuously. His chest turned upside down, and he couldn't help but spurt out a bloody mist.
Su Zhiyu's condition was slightly better, but her face was still pale. A trace of blood seeped out of her cherry lips and dyed her clothes red. It gradually dissolved like a shocking red flower.
As soon as she composed herself, her eyes immediately looked through the vast fog for Ding Yuan's traces. She silently prayed to the heavens that Brother Ding was safe and sound.
Suddenly, he heard the wild laughter of the Snow Cliff. There was a hint of unwillingness and resentment in his voice. She looked over and saw the Snow Cliff standing proudly on the clouds more than a mile away with his long hair fluttering in the wind. He looked completely unharmed.
Ding Yuan took a few deep breaths to barely suppress the churning Qi and blood in his chest. When he regained his consciousness, he heard the laughter of the Snow Cliff. He wanted to mock him, but his feet sank and he was about to fall.
Suddenly, a strong arm reached out from behind him and hugged his tiger waist tightly. Ding Yuan did not even need to turn around and shouted,"Old Daoist?"
The Immortal Danyan slightly nodded at him and placed his left palm on Ding Yuan's back. A stream of gentle and vigorous Cuiwei Genuine Qi poured in endlessly, helping him to sort out his messy Internal Breath.
Ding Yuan felt a warmth in his heart and thought to himself, Although this old Taoist priest is a little strange, he treats me quite well.”
On the other side, Su Zhiyu and Sheng Nian had both arrived, guarding the Immortal Danyan.
Su Zhiyu's beautiful eyes swept over Ding Yuan with heartache. Her expression had lost its usual reserved calmness as she asked anxiously,"Brother Ding, are you okay?"
"I'm fine, don't worry." Ding Yuan smiled.”As soon as he opened his mouth, the zhenqi in his body was released, and a surge of hot blood rushed to his throat.
The Immortal Danyan spat out Genuine Qi from his palm to help him calm down. He then shouted in a low voice,""Don't talk!"
Ding Yuan snorted and shut up obediently.
Su Zhiyu knew that he should be fine, so she felt relieved. She felt her chest tighten, and a stream of blood flowed out from the corner of her mouth.
Her cultivation was much stronger than Ding Yuan's, so she was not as miserable as Ding Yuan. However, the impact of the collision between the Golden Dew Jade Screen and the Twenty-Two Words Fist was so shocking that Su Zhiyu's body also suffered serious internal injuries. It was just that Ding Yuan had been worried and did not pay much attention to it.
Ding Yuan was shocked and asked,""Yu 'Er, are you okay?" This time, the old Taoist priest did not say anything else.
Su Zhiyu felt a sweetness in her heart. She shook her head and said,"I'm fine." She flipped her jade-like hands and took out two Carefree Pills. She handed one to Ding Yuan and said,"Brother Ding, quickly take it."
Ding Yuan was stubborn and shook his head."I don't need it. Yu 'Er, you can take it yourself.”
Su Zhiyu still wanted to persuade Ding Yuan, but she heard the voice of the Snow Cliff,"Yun Buyi, you win!"
Ding Yuan looked at Sheng Nian in shock. Sheng Nian explained,"You guys took his Golden Dew Jade Screen, and you've just completed twenty moves. Although Blizzard Cliff was arrogant, he always paid attention to promises, which was why he admitted defeat.”
At the bottom of the valley, Master Buyi replied with his silver horn,""Almsgiver Feng, you really dare to take responsibility for your actions. I heard your laughter just now and it seems that you have suffered some internal injuries. Can I diagnose you?”
"This internal injury is nothing. You don't have to worry about it." Since I've lost, I naturally have no face to stay here any longer. I'll leave immediately after I remove the Nine Light Soul Extinguishing Formation!”
Ding Yuanjing was treated by the Immortal Danyan with his immortal essential Qi. His chest was relaxed and he felt much more comfortable. "Snow Cliff, do you want to leave just like that?" he shouted.”
Blizzard Cliff was startled and looked at Ding Yuan.
Ding Yuan's breathing calmed down slightly, and he flew forward a few feet. He smiled and said,""Don't tell me that you've forgotten our agreement before the war. We were just short of hooking our fingers.”
A cold light shot out from Feng Xueyan's eyes, staring at Ding Yuan.
Dante didn't flinch or fear at all. Instead, he smiled contemptuously and said,""If you don't want to admit it, then forget it. However, in the future, don't boast that you're right and that you're laughing at others for nothing.”
Blizzard Cliff stood there for a moment, his face expressionless. No one knew what he was thinking. Sheng Nian and Su Zhiyu were secretly on guard, afraid that he would suddenly attack Ding Yuan out of anger.
After a long silence, Feng Xueyan laughed and said proudly,""This old man has lived for more than 140 years, but I definitely don't have any empty words. Little child, you don't have to provoke me anymore!”Before he could finish his sentence, his figure flashed and he was already thirty feet away. He then reached out to grab Ding Yuan's shoulder.
Just as Su Zhiyu was about to draw her sword, the Immortal Danyan held her wrist. The old Taoist shook his head at her, as if he had a plan. Sheng Nian's expression only changed, but he did not make a move. Under his heavy injuries, even if Ding Yuan wanted to resist, he was unable to do so. He was immediately caught by the Snow Cliff.
"What do you want?" Ding Yuan asked, glaring at the Snow Cliff.”He found that although the left hand of the Snow Cliff was holding him tightly, there was no killing intent, as if there was no malice.
As expected, Feng Xueyan snorted and spat out a stream of Genuine Qi from his left hand. Ding Yuan only felt his knees go numb before he knelt down in the air. Blizzard Cliff also knelt down beside him. He looked at the rolling clouds in the sky and said in a clear voice,"This old man, Blizzard Cliff, and Cui Xia's disciple, Ding Yuan, are sworn brothers today. From now on, we will share blessings and difficulties together.”
Ding Yuan was stunned. He did not expect that the Snow Cliff would really want to become sworn brothers with him. For no reason, there would be an elder brother who was more than a hundred years older than him.
He only heard Feng Xueyan shouting,""What are you waiting for? Hurry up and kowtow and call me big brother!”

Ding Yuan's blood was surging in his chest. He knew that he couldn't fight head-on. He could only bend his legs and shoot into the sky like a yellow crane, dodging the strong wind of the Golden Wind Jade Dew Palm.
Feng Xueyan didn't stop moving. He swept past Su Zhiyu like a gust of wind. The jade Ruyi scepter flashed with a cold light and pointed straight at her throat. Su Zhiyu saw that Ding Yuan was in a critical situation and wanted to help him, but when she saw the Jade Ruyi from the Snow Cliff, she could only withdraw her sword and seal the door.

Moreover, he could avoid the enemy's attack at any time, turning the illusion into the real body, making it impossible for the opponent to guard against him. That day, Sheng Nian, Mo Jing, and the Snow Cliff fought fiercely for more than 30 rounds. If Sheng Nian had not saved them with all his might, Mo Jing would have almost been injured by this Nine Shadows of the Sky.
Ding Yuan and Su Zhiyu seemed to have stood on the peak of the mountain and the mouth of the waves. The murderous aura that could topple mountains and overturn the seas, driven by the strong wind, hit them in the face. It was so oppressive that the two of them could not breathe.
Ding Yuan held Su Zhiyu's soft hand with his left hand, and the Snowfield Sword in his right hand let out a crisp and pleasant bamboo sound. The tip of the sword lit up with green light, and nine green lotus sword flowers appeared.
Su Zhiyu drew her Yingxue sword and held it horizontally in front of her chest. She condensed her sword Qi and locked her eyes on the nine phantoms of the Snow Cliff.
"Ding, ding, ding." The sound of metal and stone rang out nine times in a row. Ding Yuan's "Nine Bends Green Lotus"
After being neutralized by the Snow Cliff, Su Zhiyu's eyes narrowed. With a clear shout, the sword of Surplus Snow struck the leftmost clone of the Snow Cliff.
It turned out that Su Zhiyu had already determined the changes in the clone of the Snow Cliff from the nine sounds. She and Ding Yuan, one virtual and one real, worked together seamlessly, displaying Qing Yang's Dual Cultivation Sword Manual to its fullest.
However, at this moment, the figures that filled the sky at the Blizzard Cliff suddenly disappeared into thin air, as if they had evaporated from the air. The sword lost its target and stabbed into thin air.
Wind Escape!
Ding Yuan and Su Zhiyu looked at each other and connected their minds. Both of them flew up like a pair of butterflies with colorful wings. Their body movements were ever-changing and difficult to grasp. Even though the Snow Wind Cliff relied on the Wind Evasion to hide, they were unable to find a good opportunity to attack.
The three of them were in a stalemate for a moment. The Snow Cliff finally appeared again. The ghost-like figure appeared behind the two of them. The Mystic Ice Jade Ruyi released a white gale. The water vapor in the air instantly condensed into fine frost, mixed with "silk".
The sound of air being torn apart swept over.
Ding Yuan didn't even look at him. He flipped over and drew his sword. With a move of " Riding the Wind and Riding the Waves ", Qi Penetrating the Rainbow, he split apart layers of astral winds. It pierced straight into the heart of the Snow Cliff.
Su Zhiyu understood what he meant. Without any warning, the Yingxue Sword spun with a gentle light, like an open shield, and received the attack of the Mystic Ice Jade Ruyi.
The two of them attacked and defended with great accuracy. Feng Xueyan could only flick his left hand and shoot out a cold light to block Ding Yuan's Snowfield Sword. Su Zhiyu's Surging Snow Sword even swung out a sword light without hesitation, sweeping towards the left rib of the Snow Cliff.
Blizzard Cliff's body swayed and he moved several feet horizontally. He couldn't gain the slightest advantage in one move.
For the first time, Ding Yuan had forced the Snow Cliff back. He couldn't help but feel refreshed. He let go of Su Zhiyu's delicate hand and exhaled loudly, throwing out the Twenty-Two Words Fist. The wind from the fist surged and swallowed the mountains and rivers.
The three of them stepped on the wind mist and fought more and more fiercely. After three to five moves, they were evenly matched. Ding Yuan and Su Zhiyu were not inferior at all.
Seeing that the twenty moves were about to arrive, the Snow Cliff suddenly whistled. The Mysterious Ice Jade Ruyi weaved balls of cold silk, wrapping Ding Su and the others tightly, as if they would be swallowed by this monstrous wave at any time.
However, Ding Yuan and Su Zhiyu were completely immersed in the state of selflessness at this moment. The cultivation in their bodies was unleashed to the extreme. Their bodies were like Wang Yang's lonely boat floating and sinking, never dying.
A cluster of green light suddenly burst out from Feng Xueyan's eyes. He gathered all the Nine Heavens Squall in his left palm and struck out like a landslide. A pale golden gale rolled up and rushed towards Ding Yuan and Su Zhiyu.
It turned out that he knew that if he continued to fight like this, not to mention twenty moves, even thirty moves might not be able to finish off the two of them. In a moment of desperation, he did not hesitate to use his true essence and used the final move of the Golden Wind Jade Dew Palm,"Golden Dew Jade Screen".
When the people in the valley saw that Ding Yuan and Su Zhiyu had recovered from their disadvantage, they felt a little relieved. Unexpectedly, in order to achieve a quick victory, the Snow Cliff used his unparalleled secret skill, the Golden Dew Jade Screen, which shocked the entire continent.
The faint golden gale suddenly expanded into a nine-foot-tall and two-hundred-foot-wide pillar of wind in the air. It continuously spiraled and whistled rapidly, like an open giant's arm, encircling the two of them.
No matter how fast Ding Yuan and Su Zhiyu's movements were, they were like birds in a cage trapped in this wind pillar. They had no other choice but to grit their teeth and take it head-on.
The expressions of Master Buyi and the others all changed slightly. The Sword in the Stone on Sheng Nian's back suddenly shot out half of its black blade, letting out a low dragon roar. As long as the situation above was not right, they would immediately come to the rescue.
Naturally, he could not ignore the agreement between the Snow Cliff and the others, but he could not watch as Ding Yuan and Su Zhiyu were injured by the Snow Cliff. At most, he would just admit defeat after the battle.
Blizzard Cliff's left palm was pulsing with golden light as he continuously activated the astral winds. However, he was suffering in his heart.
If he were to use the Golden Dew Jade Screen, it would consume at least a year of his cultivation. If Ding and Su were to fight him with their zhenqi, he might have wasted countless years of hard work.
However, he was already on the bowstring and had no choice but to release it. No matter what, he could not let Ding Yuan and Su Zhiyu last twenty moves under his hands, even if it meant consuming his true essence.
Ding Yuan became more and more courageous as he fought. Although the wind pillar was pressing down from all directions like a stormy sea, he was not afraid in his heart. He took a deep breath and shouted,"I'll do it!" Su Zhiyu nodded slightly and gently pressed her left palm on Ding Yuan's back, injecting the "Tianyi Genuine Qi" into him.
As the two streams of zhenqi, one hard and one soft, collided, Ding Yuan felt the zhenqi in his entire body surging as if it was about to explode. His fingers clenched into a fist, and he struck the void above his head.
A burst of green light suddenly rose up, covering the sky like an open giant umbrella. Then, it poured down like a waterfall, enveloping the two of them in a gorgeous green light.
With a deafening boom, the two rays of light collided head-on. The entire valley shook violently like an earthquake. The small lake at the bottom of the valley surged with waves, and columns of water shot into the sky. Countless mountain rocks shattered into pieces, flying in the air like locusts. Together with the uprooted pine trees and cypresses, they fell into the valley.
The wooden houses where Grandmaster Buyi and Sheng Nian lived were unexpectedly sturdy. Although they kept creaking, they actually did not collapse.
Light flew across the sky, and wind billowed. Wisps of white light were so piercing that people could not open their eyes. The sound of the wind was like the rolling of wheels in their ears, and the chaotic wind was moving everywhere, desperately tearing apart the chaotic sky.
The expressions of Grandmaster Buyi and the others all changed drastically. Sheng Nian's tiger eyes widened as he shouted,"Junior Brother Ding!" Ignoring the raging wind above his head, he was about to ride his sword and fly up when he saw a figure beside him flash and a streak of dark blue sword light shoot up into the sky. It was the Immortal Danyan who had made the first move.
Ding Yuan and Su Zhiyu were sent flying by the violent waves. Their bodies were like broken kites that kept rolling and drifting. They were shaken for several miles before they stabilized themselves.
Ding Yuan's eyes were filled with golden light, and he could no longer distinguish north, south, east, and west. His clothes were torn inch by inch. His dantian was empty and he could not feel a trace of true qi. However, the qi in his meridians surged and stirred up the world, as if there were thousands of golden needles stabbing down continuously. His chest turned upside down, and he couldn't help but spurt out a bloody mist.
Su Zhiyu's condition was slightly better, but her face was still pale. A trace of blood seeped out of her cherry lips and dyed her clothes red. It gradually dissolved like a shocking red flower.
As soon as she composed herself, her eyes immediately looked through the vast fog for Ding Yuan's traces. She silently prayed to the heavens that Brother Ding was safe and sound.
Suddenly, he heard the wild laughter of the Snow Cliff. There was a hint of unwillingness and resentment in his voice. She looked over and saw the Snow Cliff standing proudly on the clouds more than a mile away with his long hair fluttering in the wind. He looked completely unharmed.
Ding Yuan took a few deep breaths to barely suppress the churning Qi and blood in his chest. When he regained his consciousness, he heard the laughter of the Snow Cliff. He wanted to mock him, but his feet sank and he was about to fall.
Suddenly, a strong arm reached out from behind him and hugged his tiger waist tightly. Ding Yuan did not even need to turn around and shouted,"Old Daoist?"
The Immortal Danyan slightly nodded at him and placed his left palm on Ding Yuan's back. A stream of gentle and vigorous Cuiwei Genuine Qi poured in endlessly, helping him to sort out his messy Internal Breath.
Ding Yuan felt a warmth in his heart and thought to himself, Although this old Taoist priest is a little strange, he treats me quite well.”
On the other side, Su Zhiyu and Sheng Nian had both arrived, guarding the Immortal Danyan.
Su Zhiyu's beautiful eyes swept over Ding Yuan with heartache. Her expression had lost its usual reserved calmness as she asked anxiously,"Brother Ding, are you okay?"
"I'm fine, don't worry." Ding Yuan smiled.”As soon as he opened his mouth, the zhenqi in his body was released, and a surge of hot blood rushed to his throat.
The Immortal Danyan spat out Genuine Qi from his palm to help him calm down. He then shouted in a low voice,""Don't talk!"
Ding Yuan snorted and shut up obediently.
Su Zhiyu knew that he should be fine, so she felt relieved. She felt her chest tighten, and a stream of blood flowed out from the corner of her mouth.
Her cultivation was much stronger than Ding Yuan's, so she was not as miserable as Ding Yuan. However, the impact of the collision between the Golden Dew Jade Screen and the Twenty-Two Words Fist was so shocking that Su Zhiyu's body also suffered serious internal injuries. It was just that Ding Yuan had been worried and did not pay much attention to it.
Ding Yuan was shocked and asked,""Yu 'Er, are you okay?" This time, the old Taoist priest did not say anything else.
Su Zhiyu felt a sweetness in her heart. She shook her head and said,"I'm fine." She flipped her jade-like hands and took out two Carefree Pills. She handed one to Ding Yuan and said,"Brother Ding, quickly take it."
Ding Yuan was stubborn and shook his head."I don't need it. Yu 'Er, you can take it yourself.”
Su Zhiyu still wanted to persuade Ding Yuan, but she heard the voice of the Snow Cliff,"Yun Buyi, you win!"
Ding Yuan looked at Sheng Nian in shock. Sheng Nian explained,"You guys took his Golden Dew Jade Screen, and you've just completed twenty moves. Although Blizzard Cliff was arrogant, he always paid attention to promises, which was why he admitted defeat.”
At the bottom of the valley, Master Buyi replied with his silver horn,""Almsgiver Feng, you really dare to take responsibility for your actions. I heard your laughter just now and it seems that you have suffered some internal injuries. Can I diagnose you?”
"This internal injury is nothing. You don't have to worry about it." Since I've lost, I naturally have no face to stay here any longer. I'll leave immediately after I remove the Nine Light Soul Extinguishing Formation!”
Ding Yuanjing was treated by the Immortal Danyan with his immortal essential Qi. His chest was relaxed and he felt much more comfortable. "Snow Cliff, do you want to leave just like that?" he shouted.”
Blizzard Cliff was startled and looked at Ding Yuan.
Ding Yuan's breathing calmed down slightly, and he flew forward a few feet. He smiled and said,""Don't tell me that you've forgotten our agreement before the war. We were just short of hooking our fingers.”
A cold light shot out from Feng Xueyan's eyes, staring at Ding Yuan.
Dante didn't flinch or fear at all. Instead, he smiled contemptuously and said,""If you don't want to admit it, then forget it. However, in the future, don't boast that you're right and that you're laughing at others for nothing.”
Blizzard Cliff stood there for a moment, his face expressionless. No one knew what he was thinking. Sheng Nian and Su Zhiyu were secretly on guard, afraid that he would suddenly attack Ding Yuan out of anger.
After a long silence, Feng Xueyan laughed and said proudly,""This old man has lived for more than 140 years, but I definitely don't have any empty words. Little child, you don't have to provoke me anymore!”Before he could finish his sentence, his figure flashed and he was already thirty feet away. He then reached out to grab Ding Yuan's shoulder.
Just as Su Zhiyu was about to draw her sword, the Immortal Danyan held her wrist. The old Taoist shook his head at her, as if he had a plan. Sheng Nian's expression only changed, but he did not make a move. Under his heavy injuries, even if Ding Yuan wanted to resist, he was unable to do so. He was immediately caught by the Snow Cliff.
"What do you want?" Ding Yuan asked, glaring at the Snow Cliff.”He found that although the left hand of the Snow Cliff was holding him tightly, there was no killing intent, as if there was no malice.
As expected, Feng Xueyan snorted and spat out a stream of Genuine Qi from his left hand. Ding Yuan only felt his knees go numb before he knelt down in the air. Blizzard Cliff also knelt down beside him. He looked at the rolling clouds in the sky and said in a clear voice,"This old man, Blizzard Cliff, and Cui Xia's disciple, Ding Yuan, are sworn brothers today. From now on, we will share blessings and difficulties together.”
Ding Yuan was stunned. He did not expect that the Snow Cliff would really want to become sworn brothers with him. For no reason, there would be an elder brother who was more than a hundred years older than him.
He only heard Feng Xueyan shouting,""What are you waiting for? Hurry up and kowtow and call me big brother!”
