#212 - Honglian, the seven-style killing sword technique
Even without reminders about winning money, He Yan would still carefully watch these Thirty-Three Earthly Fire Tribulations.
Before too long, He Yan would break through to the Half-Immortal Realm.
Now that he had this opportunity to watch the Thirty-Three Earthly Fire Tribulations of the Half-Immortal Realm, He Yan would naturally not miss a single detail.
The only minor imperfection might be that Qin Buqi's Half-Immortal Realm tribulation.
Only elevated the level to the Half-Immortal Realm, the intensity was still at the Great Ascension Realm.
However, this was nothing to He Yan; being able to watch the Thirty-Three Earthly Fire Tribulations was already an invaluable opportunity.
The tribulation clouds in the sky were constantly churning.
Qin Buqi patiently waited under the tribulation clouds.
A quarter of an hour...
Two quarters of an hour...
Half an hour...
An hour...
“Boom!”
A muffled sound came from the tribulation clouds, and at the same time, flames rose from the surface of the lightning-filled tribulation clouds.
“Boom!” “Boom!”
“Boom!” “Boom!” “Boom!”
Five thunderous sounds came from the tribulation clouds.
Along with the thunder, five flaming lightning bolts emerged from the tribulation clouds.
The flaming lightning bolts flew slowly towards Qin Buqi, seemingly not worried about being scattered by attacks.
Qin Buqi, holding the Killing Blade, shouted:
“Killing·Annihilation·Slaying Immortal!”
“Killing·Annihilation·Slaying Immortal!”
“Killing·Annihilation·Slaying Immortal!”...
Forty dark blade rays attacked the five flaming lightning bolts.
“Swoosh~!”
“Swoosh~!”
“Swoosh~!”...
To Qin Buqi's surprise, the forty Annihilation·Slaying Immortal combined techniques he unleashed with all his might passed directly through the flaming lightning bolts and flew into the distance.
Not believing it, Qin Buqi waved the Killing Blade and continued to attack the five flaming lightning bolts.
“Killing·Extermination!”
“Killing·Annihilation!”
“Killing·Slaying Immortal!”...
Ying Gan, seeing this scene, laughed: “Back when I was undergoing these Thirty-Three Earthly Fire Tribulations, my reaction was basically the same as his.”
“I used so many lifelong skills, but I couldn't even harm the flaming lightning bolts in the slightest.”
“Later, I learned that the flaming lightning was specially set up by the Great Dao of Heaven and Earth to test the cultivator's body and mind.”
“Ordinary attacks are useless against it.”
He Yan said in surprise: “Is there such a thing?”
“There is no record of it in the Great Ming Academy's books.”
Ying Gan said: “These things are relatively confidential, so of course the Great Ming Academy's books won't record them.”
“The Half-Immortal Realm is a watershed. For most cultivators who have family or sect support to break through to the Half-Immortal Realm, these are common sense.”
“For those cultivators who have no hope of reaching the Half-Immortal Realm, knowing these things is useless.”
“For people like us who don't have much background and have decent talent, we can only cross the river by feeling the stones, taking one step at a time, which can be described as walking on thin ice.”
He Yan asked Ying Gan with some confusion: “Your Majesty, aren't you from Tian...?”
“How could you not even know this.”
As the first dean of the Great Ming Academy, He Yan had long known that Ying Gan was a disciple of the Heavenly Dou Sect.
Ying Gan said earnestly to He Yan: “So what if I am? There are also differences between disciples.”
“Like me, don't think that I can cover the sky with one hand in a place like the Great Ming Dynasty. In reality, I didn't even rank in the past...”
After a pause, Ying Gan continued: “But it's better now. After I broke through to the Half-Immortal Realm, my status there has improved a lot.”
He Yan was a little speechless when he heard Ying Gan say these secrets: “Even Your Majesty doesn't rank there, that place is really terrifying.”
Ying Gan looked at Qin Buqi, who was continuously attacking the five flaming lightning bolts, and said:
“It depends on which angle you look at it from. With Qin Buqi's talent, he can definitely be called unique there.”
“But it's a pity that this kid Qin Buqi has already been favored by an immortal.”
“Otherwise, if he entered that place and honed himself, he would definitely gain a lot.”...
Just as Qin Buqi was continuously attacking the five flaming lightning bolts.
The Killing Blade suddenly transmitted a rebounding force, forcing Qin Buqi to stop.
Qin Buqi looked at the Killing Blade in confusion. At this moment, Hong Lian's voice sounded in Qin Buqi's ear:
“Qin Buqi, this is the Earthly Fire Tribulation. Ordinary attacks are useless against it...”
Hong Lian explained the Earthly Fire Tribulation to Qin Buqi.
Qin Buqi's mind suddenly cleared. He had been wondering why the attacks were useless against this flaming lightning.
After Hong Lian finished explaining, she prepared to disappear again.
Having finally heard Hong Lian's voice, how could Qin Buqi let go of this opportunity to chat with Hong Lian?
Qin Buqi pretended to ask: “Hong Lian, you just said that ordinary attacks are useless against it. What kind of attacks are useful against it?”
Qin Buqi was just trying to find a topic to talk to Hong Lian more.
Who would have thought that Hong Lian would be silent for a moment, and then a cold voice would reach Qin Buqi's ear:
“Haven't you already initially mastered the fusion skills of the Killing Blade Technique?”
“You can try to fuse the seven sword techniques of Slaughter, Extermination, Soul Scattering, Death Domain, Annihilation, Slaying Immortal, and Severing Past Life and unleash them together.”
“If you can fuse them together, it won't be a problem to disperse this mere Earthly Fire Tribulation.”
“If you can't do it...”
Hong Lian didn't say the words that followed, but Qin Buqi understood the meaning Hong Lian didn't say in seconds.
Fusing these seven Killing Blade Techniques can be regarded as a test. If Qin Buqi can't do it.
Hong Lian's evaluation of Qin Buqi will plummet.
Qin Buqi suddenly wanted to slap himself. If he had known this, he would have changed the topic even if he had nothing to say.
Now Qin Buqi was in a dilemma. He had only fused three Killing Blade Techniques at most on weekdays.
This time, he had to fuse seven Killing Blade Techniques, which really exceeded Qin Buqi's limit.
Qin Buqi gritted his teeth and secretly said in his heart: “Even if I exceed my limit, I must do it!”
As for giving up, Qin Buqi didn't even think about it.
Qin Buqi thought that he had always claimed to be Hong Lian's master. If he couldn't even do this, wouldn't he be slapping himself in the face?
Moreover, after a great battle with Hong Lian in the blood sea deep in the Killing Blade last time.
Hong Lian's attitude towards him has obviously improved. If he fails Hong Lian's test this time.
It is estimated that Hong Lian will not say anything on the surface, but it will be difficult for him to gain Hong Lian's approval again.
Perhaps the relationship between the two sides, which had just improved a little, will drop to freezing point again.
Qin Buqi could not accept this consequence in any way.
Qin Buqi put the Killing Blade in front of his eyes and said to the Killing Blade: “Hong Lian, next you watch how I fuse these seven sword techniques together.”
The five flaming lightning bolts were getting closer and closer to Qin Buqi. Qin Buqi held the Killing Blade and shouted:
“Killing·Slaughter·Extermination·Death Domain·Soul Scattering!”
A powerful aura surged from Qin Buqi's body.
It was obviously unrealistic to fuse the seven Killing Blade Techniques for the first time.
Qin Buqi took a step back and tried to fuse the first four Killing Blade Techniques together first.
