"The peak of the True Spirit Realm? Are you actually a master of the peak of the True Spirit Realm?" Qingfeng asked while frowning.
The Third Elder laughed and looked down at Qingfeng, "Your realm is two ranks lower than me, so what can you offer in a fight against me?"
There were two reasons the Third Elder thought of to explain why Hongling lost the battle with Qingfeng. First, she hasn't fully trained yet and secondly, she didn't have a powerful spiritual device. Unlike her, who was not only physical stronger but also had her Crystal Soft Whip, which was a medium tier Earthly Spiritual Device
Qingfeng slightly rolled his wrist and grabbed his Red Fiery Sword tightly. He was about to attack first this time since he did feel some threat from the Third Elder.
"Volcanic Condensation," Qingfeng groaned and used his sword technique.
He sliced down with his sword and formed a giant volcanic explosion with his vital essence.
The ethereal volcanic explosion flashed through the air while emitting steaming gas, sending scorching hot magma towards the Third Elder with an enormous force.
"Crystal Whip Technique." The Third Elder lashed out with her whip and formed seven whip-like shadows with her vital essence.
This was the power of the Crystal Whip Technique—one attack can transformed into seven shadows.
The ground was rumbling while the seven whips clashed with the volcanic explosion. It split the air and formed multiple black holes due to the formidable power being released.
Qingfeng was shook when he witnessed his volcanic explosion be dissipated by the seven whip shadows. In this round, both Qingfeng and the Third Elder had gone even and neither had an advantage.
Qingfeng was frustrated since he didn't expect his Volcanic Sword Technique, which was a powerful earthly-tier self-cultivation technique, would reac a draw with his opponent. This Hundred-Flower Palace's old woman was indeed competitive.
The Third Elder frowned as she was even more frustrated that she couldn't beat Qingfeng while being two realms stronger.
The female disciples were all shocked when they saw this scene. This stupid dude was so powerful that he could even block the Third Elder's attack.
"Crystal Whip Glacier," Third Elder controlled her water vital essence while lashing out with her Crystal Soft Whip. The water vital essence formed an enormous iceberg.
This was a thirty-meter high iceberg which emitted an icy coldness like an actual iceberg and was shoved towards Qingfeng.
"Volcanic Tumble," Qingfeng released his second technique with his sword.
His vital essence formed a gigantic volcano that kept ejecting steaming magma.
All the female disciples opened their eyes wide and stared at the stage with pale faces. They felt the immense threatening power of both the iceberg and the volcano.
Boom...
Some smarter disciples noticed something was wrong and stepped back. However, it was too late—the attack between the iceberg and the volcano rumbled as a meteor struck the earth.
Tremendous power was unleashed in all directions simultaneously, hitting the closest disciple and making her lost consciousness.
The Hundred-Flower Palace's Sect Master realized the emergency immediately. She slightly raised her right hand and formed a gigantic green light veil that protected the disciple from the other diffusing energy.
When the invincible force finally dissipated and both the iceberg and the volcano scattered, two colors appeared on the battle arena—white and red.
The white color was the frost formed by the iceberg and the red was the flame formed by the Volcano. Yet, neither of them had any power at the moment.
The iceberg was formed by water, which was the enemy of fire. Water countered fire and vice versa.
One could only defeat the other when one's power was significantly stronge but now, Qingfeng was on a equal level as the Third Elder, so both the iceberg and volcano disappeared simultaneously.
Qingfeng and the Third Elder stared at each other at this point, since they knew they both owned earthly spiritual devices of comparable quality and wouldn't be able to beat the other with only their weapons.
In fact, Qingfeng's Red Fiery Sword had a higher rank than the Crystal Soft Whip, but he didn't have an advantage over the Third Elder since he didn't have as much vital essence as she did.
Certainly, Qingfeng still hadn't used his last technique, the one that could definitely slay the Third Elder, since murder wasn't allowed during the competition.
Third Elder retrieved her whip and yelled, "Waterfall Realm."
An enormous waterfall was formed within 30 feet square. Yet, instead of water, the falls were filled with white ice blades.
There were at least a few millions of ice blades that resemble a gigantic white waterfall from afar. They split the air and flew towards Qingfeng, who was standing at the bottom of the falls.
"Storm Realm," Qingfeng directly used one of his realm techniques.
He didn't release the Gravity Realm since it would hasten the ice blades towards him at the bottom. He didn't want to kill himself in that way.
In terms of the Inferno Realm, even though it did threaten the Waterfall Realm, it would only counterweigh the attack, which was proved previously by the attack between the Iceberg and the Volcano.
However, the Storm Realm was a different story. It would form a gigantic tornado and change the route and direction of the falling blades. What Qingfeng tried to do was to redirect the Third Elder's attack back.
As Qingfeng expected, the gigantic tornado formed by the Storm Realm blew the waterfall all the way back to the Third Elder.
The Third Elder freaked out as she wouldn't have expected her waterfall ice blades to reverse in direction. She didn't have time to retrieve her attack since the blades were about to hit her.
Whiz!
The Third Elder channeled her vital essence energy hurriedly and formed a massive white Defensive Shield.
Boom...
Thousands of ice blades hit against the shield that it couldn't stop trembling. As more and more cracks appeared on the surface, the shield finally burst.
What?! The Defensive Shield was going down?
The Third Elder freaked out.
