After some thought, Zhang Jian cupped his hands and said, "Tongshan Dao Lineage, Zhang Jian!"
"Tongshan Dao Lineage?"
Upon hearing Zhang Jian introduce himself, not only did Chu Ji across from him show a strange expression, but the Poison Dragon Water God and the two Daoists responsible for officiating also became solemn.
They knew the origins of the Tongshan Dao Lineage!
The Tongshan Lineage is a Hidden Dao Lineage, its sphere of influence not in Daqian, but more in the Barbaric Land. However, this does not mean it isn't strong; on the contrary, the Tongshan Dao Lineage has an ancient and formidable heritage.
The Poison Dragon Water God also became solemn; although she is a Yin Spirit Venerable, with the support of a Dragon Race deity behind her, she still dared not underestimate a disciple of the Tongshan Dao Lineage.
"So, a descendant of a noble family, I see!"
Chu Ji's expression was startled, and she was slightly surprised.
Zhang Jian's expression remained unchanged.
This was the first time Zhang Jian had revealed his heritage.
In fact, Zhang Jian had considered keeping his origins hidden, playing a pig to eat a tiger, making it easier to play a dark horse later.
But considering he had already begun practicing the "Tongshan Pure Treasure Record", especially touching upon the magic of the Tongshan Daoist Lineage, these marks could not be concealed. Other perceptive cultivator big shots could see through it, and there was no longer any need to hide his origins, so he just let it go.
Revealing his heritage, in a way, also served as a protective shield for him.
Over there, the graceful young girl dressed in light-colored Shuiyun Shang softly said, "Although Daoist brother is born of a noble family and possesses extraordinary magical power, this battle concerns the honor of my Poison Dragon Palace, and Chu Ji will go all out!"
"Daoist brother, please be careful!"
As her words fell, intense magical power emerged around Chu Ji. In an instant, countless raindrops rapidly formed above her head, like a torrential downpour, penetrating with a layer of peculiar Spiritual Mechanism inside, the cold infiltrating everywhere.
On the spot, Chu Ji's figure had already merged into the rain.
"Water Escape Technique?"
Zhang Jian's expression turned solemn; his Divine Thought was extremely sharp, faintly sensing an invisible figure moving steadily within the rain, waiting for the opportunity to launch a fatal strike at him.
Meanwhile, the rain swept in, carrying a hint of chill.
Even if he used magical power to hold the rain at bay, frost appeared at his feet.
The cold was still drilling toward him, attempting to slow his movements.
This was a kind of battlefield control-type magic.
But this magic couldn't control his movement range!
"Cyan Nether Storm!"
As Zhang Jian thought, he activated the Wind Talisman within him. A special cyan talisman instantly formed in his hand, and as he made a hand seal, magical power surged, causing countless Spiritual Mechanism fluctuations in the void, instantly transforming into a cyan storm sweeping from his body. Strands of magical power released, stirring the Spiritual Mechanism, triggering more and more storms.
This is the power of the Nine Heavens Riding the Wind Technique, unlike ordinary magic, which relies entirely on one's magical power as a medium to cast magic.
Rather, it seeks the essence of magic between heaven and earth, using the least amount of magical power to borrow the power of the Spiritual Force Field of heaven and earth to perform casting.
The power is much stronger than purely condensing magic with magical power.
Numerous storms swept the rain high into the depths of the sky.
Within the Water Escape Technique, Chu Ji suddenly was nowhere to hide. Her jade-like face was slightly surprised, yet her figure, like a swimming fish, held a Magic Sword in her hand, its sword wings spread open, cutting through the storm, and shot toward Zhang Jian.
In the storm, Zhang Jian immediately detected the fluctuation of that point of Spiritual Light, and his Dragon Roar Sword likewise leaped out, like a beam of starlight colliding with that peculiar Magic Sword. The two sword lights continuously intertwined and danced in the void.
Like two cultivators with profound swordsmanship, exchanging blows in the void.
Zhang Jian's eyes were filled with surprise; he could see that Chu Ji's Dao Practice wasn't high, at the same Jade Liquid Stage as him, her magical power on par, and her magic technique wasn't weak either.
But these methods, instead, stirred an endless fighting spirit in Zhang Jian.
At this time, the Vast Righteous Qi within the Seven-Orifice Exquisite Heart began to ignite, but this time it didn't explode completely. Instead, it integrated into his rhythm of magical combat.
When he changed his way of executing it, the balance on the battlefield began to clearly shift!
