Book 2, Chapter 138 - The Blue Tide Rises

Immortal Soaring Blade

If not for the rivalry between the three peaks, Luo Bowen wouldn’t want to fight Zhao Jiuge. This was not only because he was shocked by that stunning performance, but also because Zhao Jiuge was like a dried-up oil lamp. Even if he won, it would be a tasteless victory.

He slowly led Chen Gang and the other seven disciples into the center of the field. Then he stopped and looked profoundly at the other two figures. His expression became serious and he clasped his hands. “Sorry about this.”

After he spoke, the aura around his body erupted and slowly increased, then a faint light appeared around him. Chen Gang and the other seven disciples did the same.

Feeling the aura spread out, Bai Qingqing’s expression changed a bit. However, it only changed slightly and she revealed no other emotion.

She stepped forward two steps and stood before Zhao Jiuge to protect him. A water-blue light slowly emerged from her body and her late stage Foundation Realm cultivation spread out to resist the pressure.

When Bai Qingqing stepped past Zhao Jiuge, she whispered, “Take this moment to recover your spirit force with the pill, I’ll make my move first. Earlier, you went on a rampage; it's time for me to help.”

Her voice was soft and lacked emotion, but Zhao Jiuge saw a strange light in her eyes.

After hearing this, Zhao Jiuge nodded. He didn’t refuse or waste time saying nonsense, because after knowing each other for so long, he knew that Bai Qingqing was someone with a plan.

In the forest a few hundred meters away from the top of Wu Hua Peak, there were five figures hiding, four men and one woman. This was Mu Zijun’s group. This was a path leading up to the top. Earlier, when they saw the situation, they didn’t bother going up. They were going to let the people up there compete and borrow the other two peaks’ power to deal with Zhao Jiuge.

They had been standing guard here, so when the disciples of the other two peaks passed by, they were dealt with. They had harvested more than 200 flags, and most of the disciples among the three peaks had been eliminated. However, Mu Zijun was confused about where Luo Xie’s group had gone. Without Zhao Jiuge and Leng Rufeng, they were nothing but a handful of loose sand. He originally wanted to teach them a lesson, but he couldn’t find them. Instead, they had waited here, playing the fisherman, and it was quite comfortable.

Seeing that Zhao Jiuge was going to fight the disciples of the Mysterious Fallen Peak, Mu Zijun smiled at Zhao Jiuge’s misfortune. “Zhao Jiuge, ah, Zhao Jiuge, no matter how well you can fight, you have just finished dealing with the disciples of the Mysterious Strange Peak. I don’t believe you can deal with the disciples of the Mysterious Fallen Peak. You’re so anxious to stand out, you deserve to be dealt with.”

Bai Zimo and the youth with the scar looked at Zhao Jiuge with cold gazes, revealing the same sneer. Among the three of them, the youth with the scar undoubtedly hate Zhao Jiuge the most. He had been made a fool of before the person he loved and had been defeated by Zhao Jiuge in front of many. Bai Zimo had killing intent toward Zhao Jiuge, he just hadn’t found the chance to act. As for Mu Zijun, he had no deep hatred against Zhao Jiuge, he was just jealous that Zhao Jiuge had always robbed him of his limelight.

Wang Baiwan looked at Zhao Jiuge with a complicated gaze. Who would have thought that the youth he had drank together with would become like this today? He was already beginning to shine and was like a sun that would soon rise in the sect.

It was Liu Yinger whose eyes shined while she stared at Zhao Jiuge. When Zhao Jiuge was battling earlier, he was simply too handsome. However, her worship-filled eyes also contained a bit of heartache. His blood-stained, blue sword robe could be seen even from a few hundred meters away, and she felt like she could smell the blood. However, no matter how much her emotions swayed, there was only a sense of loss in the end. This was because there was a cold woman as bright as the moon beside him.

The delicate Liu Yinger took a deep breath, then her expression turned slightly bleak and she lowered her head. The falling flowers yearn for love, but the heartless brook ripples on. She stubbornly turned her head to avoid looking at the celestial-like couple, but she couldn’t help but worry about him and continued watching.

A gust of wind blew by, causing the leaves to flutter and the grass to sway. Her heart was like the fluttering leaves that gradually disappeared.

At this moment, the battle on the top of Wu Hua Peak began. They watched like everyone else, expecting the Mysterious Heaven Peak to be defeated. However, what happened next shocked them greatly.

Due to their number advantage, Luo Bowen’s morale was at its peak, but they didn’t take the lead.

Chen Gang looked relaxed and was not as serious as when he observed the other peaks fighting. He seemed to believe that victory was certain for their Mysterious Fallen Peak. However, hidden inside that relaxed gaze was him coming up with a way to deal with Luo Bowen so he could become rank one.

However, Bai Qingqing’s next move quickly dispelled his and Luo Bowen’s thoughts that they had victory in the bag.

Bai Qingqing’s aura continued to increase, and when it reached a certain point, everyone became surprised. In particular, the nine people facing her felt it most clearly.

The blue sword robe was clinging to her body, but the edges of the robe fluttered in the wind. A few strands of her scattered hair also swayed to the side.

Her beautiful eyes closed and her water-blue eyes became brighter and brighter.

The atmosphere suddenly froze and even the light that was becoming brighter suddenly stopped.

Bai Qingqing suddenly opened her eyes, and there was a flash of light in them. At this moment, she silently muttered four words in her heart.

“The Blue Tide Rises.”

Bai Qingqing didn’t want to reveal her ace in the sect and expose her identity. Even though there was no danger in the sect if her identity was exposed, she didn’t want to cause unnecessary trouble.

However, as she got to know Zhao Jiuge better, her heart and thoughts subtly changed. This had allowed her to learn perseverance and other things from his hardworking young man.

Whenever she saw that young man giving it his all, her heart was inexplicably touched. In particular, when he worked hard for those trash treasures and resources, she didn’t find him dislikable. Instead, his miser actions always made her laugh.

Right now, this young man had lost his Blue Plum Sword and his robe was dyed in blood, but he was still fighting desperately like a madman just to obtain a treasure she considered trash so he could increase his strength by a little. She couldn’t bear to disappoint this young man.

That’s why she had decided to use her father’s famous spell, The Blue Tide Rises.

Fortunately, Luo Bowen and Chen Gang were careless because they had the numbers advantage, giving the time to activate the spell; she had been preparing the spell this whole time. Although her The Blue Tide Rises was only at the first stage, unlike her father’s, it was more than enough to deal with nine Foundation Realm cultivators.

When Bai Qingqing said those four words, her already-white and tender face became even more white and her breathing became somewhat weakened. Her body began to tremble a little—she must have used a lot to cast this spell. After all, the more powerful the spell, the more spirit force it consumed.

A phenomenon suddenly appeared in the sky, and it became more and more intense.

The sound of ocean waves echoed, and all of Bai Qingqing’s spirit force was used up. The blue spirit force surged into the sky and the sounds of waves crashing in the sky became even louder. More and more blue light gathered in the sky until a large mass shined brightly above everyone.

Finally, blue light rippled like the tides.

The large mass of blue light was like a shadow that eclipsed Luo Bowen’s group of nine.

The corner of Bai Qingqing’s mouth curved up into a gentle smile as she looked at the blue waves in the sky. She sighed in her heart. It was far from what her father could do. She could only achieve the first stage, but when her father used it, it could even cause the winds and clouds to move.

Bai Qingqing’s face was a bit sickly pale from using The Blue Tide Rises. Under the blue light in the sky, she gave off a never-before-seen sense of morbid beauty.
