Her only concern was whether Lu Xueqi's vitality could sustain it.
"Senior sister, don't worry, Xiao An knows what she's doing!"
Su Ru held Shui Yue's hand and comforted her.
Shuiyue shook her head and didn't say anything, just looked at the girl under the lightning in front of her.
At this moment, Lu Xueqi already felt her energy was running low.
Any Daoist technique that can control heavenly lightning, regardless of its specific method, consumes an enormous amount of vital energy.
Li Qingan also raised an eyebrow.
He originally thought that Lu Xueqi had enough energy to support her, which is why he watched her use the Divine Sword Thunder Control Technique.
Unexpectedly, he just stubbornly persisted!
"Fine, you just wait and see how I deal with you later!"
Looking at the divine lightning about to strike, he gave Lu Xueqi a stern look, as if someone had done something wrong and was about to be punished.
He then placed Wangxian on his waist, took out the Luoshu Array Plate, and set up a Five Elements Array for defense.
The array plate hung two feet above his head, drooping down in waves of five-colored ripples that enveloped Li Qing'an.
In the center of the formation, a bright, earth-yellow light shone, obscuring the other four colors of light.
He could easily sever the lightning with a single sword strike.
However, Lu Xueqi can still control the power of thunder. If she shatters the heavenly thunder with a single sword strike, the remaining power of the heavenly thunder will instantly go out of control and injure people's lungs and internal organs.
He himself had experienced the discomfort involved.
There's no other way but to endure it.
"Is this Senior Brother Li's formation?"
"This is the first time I've seen such a formation method; it was completed in almost an instant!"
The disciples' eyes lit up as if they had seen something amazing.
Under the dark clouds, Lu Xueqi saw Li Qing'an looking at her with a serious expression, and her heart skipped a beat as she recalled the times when Li Qing'an had disciplined her for being disobedient.
Her face flushed slightly!
But since things had come to this point, she could only stop controlling the divine lightning and let it fall.
"Buzz—Boom"
The lightning pillars formed by divine thunder continuously bombarded the formation, shattering and scorching the arena, but they could not break through the bright formation within the torrent of thunder.
Even after the divine lightning dissipated, the formation set up by Li Qing'an remained standing.
The colorful radiance continued to flow, and it appeared completely undamaged.
Li Qingan then dispelled the formation and flew upwards towards Lu Xueqi, who was teetering on the edge of the sky due to insufficient vital energy.
"What's wrong? You insist on being stubborn. You've already used up most of your vital energy, and you still want to forcefully use the Divine Sword Thunder Control Technique. Do you really think you can defeat me?"
Li Qingan went up and hugged Lu Xueqi's weak body, saying somewhat angrily.
He taught Lu Xueqi the "Sun and Moon Shining Together" technique not so that she would be reckless, but so that she could protect herself if she encountered danger again.
Lu Xueqi remained silent, like a kitten, letting Li Qingan hug her. Her long eyelashes trembled slightly as she reached out to touch his furrowed brows, smoothing them out. Then, she nestled in his arms, closed her eyes, and listened to Li Qingan's heartbeat. Afterward, she opened her mouth slightly and uttered only two words.
"Brother."
Li Qingan felt Lu Xueqi's cold fingers on his brow. He paused after hearing Lu Xueqi's words, flew down from the arena, put Lu Xueqi down, and then patted her head without leaving a trace.
Seeing Li Qing'an embrace Lu Xueqi in public, Shuiyue's already aloof face became even colder, like ice.
"Li Qing'an from Dazhu Peak has advanced!"
When Tian Buyi saw Li Qingan reach out to hug Lu Xueqi again, he frowned and turned to look at Tian Ling'er.
As expected, Tian Ling'er's already unhappy face became even more dejected.
Her hunch was right; she had come to see the two of them showing off their affection.
Cangsong looked at the perfect couple on the arena and smiled.
I have high hopes for this couple!
"It seems I'll have to keep an eye on Shuiyue for my nephew Li Qing'an!" Cangsong thought to himself.
Chapter 68 The old man has no martial ethics, and the kite is a minor child.
Li Qingan, enduring Shuiyue's icy, murderous gaze, escorted Lu Xueqi to Shuiyue and bowed.
"Master Shuiyue."
Shuiyue ignored Li Qingan, pulled Lu Xueqi over, and checked her condition. "She's alright. She's just exhausted from activating the sword technique due to insufficient energy. She'll be fine after resting for a while."
Li Qing'an realized he had made a fool of himself, and Shuiyue even wouldn't let him get close.
He glanced at Lu Xueqi, then turned and left.
Tomorrow will be the final match of the Seven Peaks Martial Arts Tournament.
Then, with Dao Xuan Cangsong as the lead and him as a supporting character, the scene where he tests Zhang Xiaofan is about to begin.
The entire plan was discussed by Cangsong, approved by Daoxuan, and Li Qingan assisted.
However, what he was thinking about now was how to teach Lu Xueqi a lesson when he went to Kongsang Mountain.
They're giving it their all even for a small competition.
Li Qingan grew angrier the more he thought about it, and when he turned around, he saw Lu Xueqi behind her master, also looking at Li Qingan.
In an instant, their eyes met.
Li Qingan could still see the stubbornness in Lu Xueqi's eyes.
"Hey."
Li Qingan sighed. There was nothing he could do; he had to acknowledge the sister he had found himself!
Meanwhile, on the dueling arena between Zhang Xiaofan and Qi Hao...
The two resumed their match, which had not yet ended.
Qi Hao came to his senses.
He was confident he could withstand Lu Xueqi's Divine Sword Lightning Control Technique, but he couldn't do it as easily as Li Qingan.
He suspected that Li Qing'an had already broken through to the Shangqing Realm.
However, his level of understanding was too low to see clearly; he could only guess.
Zhang Xiaofan suddenly realized that seeing how intimate the two were, she might become his sister-in-law in the future.
Thinking of this, he became even angrier. It was Fang Chao from Dragon Head Peak who had offended his senior brother.
That's practically a path to certain death!
"Senior Brother Qi Hao, make your move. I want to see the strength of your Dragon Head Peak."
Zhang Xiaofan was filled with rage, and the fire stick amplified this emotion.
He became even more arrogant.
Qi Hao frowned. He saw that the disciple of Dazhu Peak in front of him was only at the fifth level of the Jade Purity Realm. No matter how he calculated it, he could not possibly be his opponent. So why was he so confident?
Zhang Xiaofan was unaware that his sudden surge of blood and qi had been misinterpreted by Qi Hao as a sign that he had someone to rely on.
His only remaining strength is his cultivation level, which reached the fifth level of the Jade Purity Realm after his fight with Lin Jingyu yesterday.
"boom--"
Without another word, the two charged forward. The icy sword clashed with the fire poker, the immense force temporarily separating them.
"this..."
Qi Hao didn't care at first, but after the two fought,
He realized he was wrong.
This power, this profound foundation that it subtly reveals, could it be the fifth level of the Jade Purity Realm?
Qi Hao didn't have time to think, as Zhang Xiaofan rushed up again and slammed into Qi Hao once more.
He didn't know why Qi Hao had been stunned just now, and thought that Qi Hao was looking down on him, which made him even angrier.
Li Qingan's encouraging words kept echoing in his mind. As if sensing his master's thoughts, the black smoke from the fire poker wrapped around his arm and made a shrieking sound.
"boom"
Qi Hao quickly dodged, and with a wave of his Frost Sword, several walls of ice appeared in front of Zhang Xiaofan.
"bang, bang"
Zhang Xiaofan shattered the ice with a few blows and sped towards Qi Hao, completely unaffected.
Qi Hao was about to curse when he saw this. What kind of freak was this? Not only was he incredibly strong, but the black smoke swirling around his body also prevented his speed from being affected by Qi Hao's magic.
Meanwhile, Li Qingan, watching from below the stage, nodded in approval.
The Tianyin Temple's Dharma Gate differs from the Qingyun Gate's, emphasizing the salvation of the soul through physical means.
Zhang Xiaofan cultivated both paths simultaneously, and his strength was almost comparable to that of Qi Hao, who was four realms higher than him.
"This Zhang Xiaofan looks really strong. He defeated Lin Jingyu from the same village yesterday, and today he can even hold his own against Senior Brother Qi Hao."
"This Zhang Xiaofan seems to be a disciple of Dazhu Peak!"
"I heard from Song Daren of Dazhu Peak that Senior Brother Li often gives them guidance, which is why their strength has increased a lot."
"I'm jealous!"
The disciples watching Zhang Xiaofan discussed among themselves, and finally looked at the disciples of Dazhu Peak with envy, and even glanced at the figure in green next to them.
Li Qingan shook his head upon hearing this.
The reason why the people of Dazhu Peak have been able to grow so much is mainly because of their continuous cultivation over the past five years; his guidance was merely a push.
On stage, Qi Hao had already sensed what his junior brother Lin Jingyu had felt yesterday.
