The figures of Pigeon and Yunshui Tianlong collided, and in the next second, both retreated. They were evenly matched. It could be said that both were surprised by each other's strength in this collision, as they were well aware of their own abilities. Pigeon and Yunshui Tianlong looked at each other. Pigeon attacked first, his figure turning into afterimages, and he instantly appeared before Yunshui Tianlong, throwing a punch. Yunshui Tianlong faced the immense power of the punch and extended his palm, catching Pigeon's fist. With a fierce flick, Pigeon's figure was sent flying.
Yunshui Tianlong seized the opportunity and moved like lightning, as if not giving Pigeon a chance to react. His figure turned into a streak of light, a rapid beam. Pigeon naturally knew Yunshui Tianlong's intentions but wouldn't let him succeed so easily. Pigeon's figure stabilized directly, its speed of stabilization faster than Yunshui Tianlong had anticipated. Two streaks of light constantly rubbed and collided in this space, creating fierce sounds. When Pigeon and Yunshui Tianlong reappeared, their palms were clasped, and their eyes met, a battle intent erupting from them.
Pigeon and Yunshui Tianlong had not fought so wholeheartedly in a long time. Both had the same idea: to have a good, satisfying fight. Pigeon retracted his fist, assuming a stance as he did so. Without fully retracting it, he swung again, this time with even more terrifying power. Yunshui Tianlong naturally responded to Pigeon's desire, wrapping his palm with power and unleashing a strike. Fist met palm, and Pigeon and Yunshui Tianlong resisted for an unknown duration, until finally, Yunshui Tianlong took a step back.
Pigeon had gained the upper hand in this collision. It was not easy for Pigeon, as his strength had finally been unsealed a little after such a long time. Of course, it didn't significantly help the current situation, but at least it gave Pigeon a slight advantage. Pigeon increased his strength, and Yunshui Tianlong could not have imagined that Pigeon's power could still increase, which did not match his information. However, the increase in strength was not significant, and he could endure it with some effort.
Yunshui Tianlong used all his might to withstand Pigeon's attack. The center of Pigeon's fist and Yunshui Tianlong's palm vibrated, and both retreated together, ending the collision. Fortunately, they quickly retracted their power, otherwise, an energy explosion would have occurred, and they would have been caught in it. Such an explosion would have harmed both of them. Pigeon and Yunshui Tianlong did not want to be injured. Yunshui Tianlong still had a mission to complete, and so did Pigeon. Getting seriously injured here would delay many things.
Pigeon and Yunshui Tianlong looked at each other. The Divine Spirit Sword appeared in Pigeon's hand, but the Divine Spirit Shield did not. He stood in the void with the sword in one hand, his entire demeanor changing, becoming ethereal, illusory, like an unpredictable sword immortal. As the strongest shield of the Divine Spirit Realm, Pigeon's swordsmanship was second only to Chen Tian's. After all, the Divine Spirit Shield came with the Divine Spirit Sword. Pigeon had once sparred with Chen Tian in swordsmanship to perfectly integrate with the will of the Divine Spirit Sword, constantly learning and improving.
Pigeon rarely wielded the Divine Spirit Sword alone; it was usually used in conjunction with the Divine Spirit Shield. In the current situation, Pigeon felt there was no need to use the Divine Spirit Shield. The Divine Spirit Shield's immense defense was meant for opponents of the same realm and level. For an opponent of this caliber, Pigeon felt the Divine Spirit Sword alone was sufficient. Seeing Pigeon holding two weapons, Yunshui Tianlong clenched his left hand, and a black whip appeared in his grasp, emanating a strange aura.
This aura made Pigeon feel uncomfortable and disgusted, but it was the first time he had encountered such an aura, and he couldn't quite describe it. As Pigeon was contemplating, Yunshui Tianlong seized the moment, raised his arm, and the whip directly extended, turning into a streak of light that lashed out at Pigeon. Pigeon reacted swiftly. Even though he was momentarily distracted, he faced the light. The Divine Spirit Sword in his hand moved with an elegant maneuver, and the blade collided with the whip, deflecting it. The force of the impact sent Pigeon staggering back a step.
Pigeon steadied himself. The whip's strength was extraordinary, not shattering under the Divine Spirit Sword. It was remarkable.
Pigeon became interested in the person behind Yunshui Tianlong. Who could it be?
Pigeon and Yunshui Tianlong continued their fight. The long sword in Pigeon's hand swung, continuously unleashing sword edges. A storm of blades swept out, as if to engulf Yunshui Tianlong and shred him to pieces. Yunshui Tianlong continuously whipped his whip.
*Crack! Crack! Crack!*
The sound of whipping the void echoed. The whip shot out, extending endlessly. As the whip descended, Pigeon's blade storm was directly struck in half and split apart, exploding before them. Yunshui Tianlong's whip, guided by his arm, changed direction, moving like a flexible venomous snake. Pigeon's Divine Spirit Sword reacted just as quickly, facing the attack without the slightest panic.
The Divine Spirit Sword blocked all incoming attacks, remaining completely unharmed. Yunshui Tianlong was intrigued by Pigeon's weapon, as theirs were of the same level. What Yunshui Tianlong didn't know was that Pigeon's weapons were a set, and only when the Divine Spirit Shield and Divine Spirit Sword were used together could their true power be unleashed. Currently, Pigeon was only using basic swordsmanship to fight Yunshui Tianlong, as in Pigeon's eyes, Yunshui Tianlong was not worth his full effort to kill; basic swordsmanship was enough to end the fight.
Pigeon's figure turned into afterimages, instantly splitting into seven or eight figures. These figures were indistinguishable from the main body; without special means, it was impossible to tell which was real and which was fake. In any case, Yunshui Tianlong couldn't differentiate. Seeing this, Yunshui Tianlong decided to attack all of them. The whip in his hand split into dozens of shadowy extensions, all attacking the afterimages of Pigeon. One whip struck down an afterimage.
Pigeon's true body had long since appeared behind Yunshui Tianlong. The Divine Spirit Sword descended, its tip carrying a chilling glint. Yunshui Tianlong sensed the danger and instantly wrapped his body with the whip. The whip seemed to have infinite length, instantaneously coiling and encasing his body. Pigeon's sword tip struck the whip, producing only a sound. Pigeon couldn't believe it. This weapon possessed such incredible power. Infinite extension was a rarity among all whip-type weapons.
The longer the whip, the greater its attack range, the more varied its usage and attack methods, and even defense became easier. However, it was very difficult to create an infinitely extending whip. He had once heard an elder speak of this.
This meant that the person who forged this weapon was on the same level as that elder, beings above the universe. The thought made Pigeon's scalp tingle. If the entire Shadow Pavilion was arranged by this power, then he might not be an opponent.
Pigeon pulled back his figure. His sneak attack had failed, and there was no need to continue. His body, wrapped in the whip, recovered. Yunshui Tianlong looked at Pigeon. That life-saving technique could only be used once, which was a pity to have wasted! But his sixth sense had told him that if he hadn't defended against that sword, he would have been in danger.
Pigeon was unaware that Yunshui Tianlong could only use that maneuver once. If he had known, his attack might have been even fiercer. Yunshui Tianlong certainly wouldn't reveal it.
The two simply looked at each other, awaiting their next moves.
