The Maoshan immobilization technique, one of the Maoshan sect's three great talismans.
Once struck, one's body would be instantly frozen.
Even with cultivation, the immobilization time would range from at least one minute to ten minutes.
For any ordinary cultivator, if they were directly hit by Nanyang's Maoshan "immobilization technique," they would surely be finished.
But unfortunately, Nanyang's opponent was me.
Seeing my pressure points sealed, I immediately circulated the Qi in my Dantian to impact the pressure points.
However, the power of the talisman sealing my pressure points was very strong.
With ordinary Dantian Qi alone, it would take me at least five to ten seconds to break open the pressure points and regain movement.
But Nanyang was already rapidly closing in, leaving me with only a mere second.
This single second would determine victory or defeat.
How could I dare to hesitate in the slightest?
Instantly, I mobilized the wisp of Yin-Yang Qi in my Dantian, as thin as a strand of hair.
This was one of my trump cards.
Activating Yin-Yang Qi consumed spiritual energy at five to ten times the speed of normal Dao Qi.
But the power released was terrifying.
In an instant, the Yin-Yang Qi was activated and rushed straight towards the blocked pressure points.
Nanyang had already leaped up, thrusting his sword.
His eyes narrowed slightly, his pupils contracting.
A faint smile even graced the corners of his lips.
Because in Nanyang's view, he was about to win this match.
But, the moment his long sword was about to strike me.
My body suddenly trembled.
With a "bang," my entire body's Dao Qi erupted.
The turbulent罡气 (gāngqì) emitted, mixed with a trace of Yin-Yang Qi.
It vibrated outwards with a "whoosh, whoosh, whoosh..." sound.
Nanyang, who a moment ago was secretly pleased at about to capture me.
At this moment, his face showed utter shock.
His entire body was instantly sent flying by the turbulent 罡气.
He retreated several steps consecutively, only stabilizing himself when he was five to six meters away from me.
Inside, he felt an inexplicable sense of dread.
His own spiritual energy attributes were completely suppressed...
This scene happened too suddenly.
Many people watched the arena in astonishment.
They simply couldn't believe it.
I, who had been immobilized, broke free in less than two seconds?
This was clearly not something a cultivator in the Profound Core realm could accomplish.
"Damn, how did he do that?"
"That's one of the Maoshan sect's three great talisman arts, the immobilization talisman, and it couldn't even hold Qin Ze!"
"This 罡气, the pressure is so strong, I feel a bit suffocated!"
"Yeah! I feel the same way, what's going on? I can't tell what attribute this Dao Qi is!"
"..."
Below the arena, many people discussed amongst themselves, their faces full of confusion.
They didn't know how I had managed to break the immobilization curse in such a short time.
And why the Dao Qi emitted earlier was so strange, unlike any attribute of Dao Qi.
On the arena.
I, who had been immobilized, naturally also recovered my ability to move in the first instance.
And rapidly retracted the wisp of Yin-Yang Qi in my Dantian.
Raising my long sword, I charged towards Nanyang.
Nanyang was greatly alarmed and quickly raised his hand to block.
With several consecutive exchanges of "bang bang bang," Nanyang was forced to retreat repeatedly and appeared quite breathless.
I was a little puzzled; it shouldn't be like this!
Nanyang's cultivation was similar to mine.
I had fought several matches without becoming breathless, so why was he panting first?
Could it be that the talisman technique he used earlier had side effects?
I pondered in my mind.
But at this moment, it was still unclear.
The Maoshan immobilization talisman, as one of the Maoshan sect's three great talismans,
Required the consumption of immense spiritual power in a very short period for its casting.
As long as the target saw the casting talisman, they would be affected.
This type of talisman was special and its consumption was enormous.
Nanyang had intended to catch me off guard and win the match directly.
Who knew that not only did I break the immobilization technique.
But I also advanced forcefully, causing him, who had not yet recovered, to respond hastily, naturally leading to him panting.
But I didn't think that much.
I forcefully suppressed Nanyang and swept out my sword, forcing Nanyang back again.
At this moment, he had already reached the edge of the arena and was about to fall.
Below the arena, many female cultivators were shouting:
"Senior Brother Nanyang, be careful!"
"Senior Brother Nanyang, keep going!"
"Senior Brother Nanyang, defeat him!"
"..."
Amidst these shouts of encouragement from the female cultivators, I directly threw a talisman.
Forming a hand seal, I roared:
"As urgent as the law commands, break!"
The talisman light flashed.
With a "bang" of explosion.
The powerful energy released by the talisman instantly knocked Nanyang off the arena.
Nanyang, the eldest disciple of Maoshan, was defeated.
Seeing this, I also put away my peach wood sword.
I cupped my fists towards Nanyang below the arena and said:
"Fellow Daoist Nanyang, I concede."
Nanyang looked up at me on the arena, a wry smile on his face as he shook his head.
He had intended to get on stage and finish the fight quickly, using his talisman art to catch me off guard and win the match.
Who would have thought that his attempt to outsmart would backfire.
Instead, after casting the spell, he entered a brief period of weakness for over ten seconds.
I seized the opportunity, forced him off the stage, and he lost the match.
"Brother Qin Ze's strength far surpasses mine. Nanyang accepts this defeat wholeheartedly."
With that, he cupped his fists and walked towards the direction of the Maoshan sect.
Below the arena, cheers erupted once again.
"Damn, he won again!"
"Good heavens! He's defeated the strongest disciples of three major sects consecutively, and the number one expert of the younger generation in the Western Realm. This kid is defying heaven!"
"Qin is dishonorable, he attacked sneakily. Senior Brother Nanyang wasn't even ready!"
"That's right, Senior Brother Nanyang must have been careless and hadn't unleashed his full strength yet!"
"..."
Amidst the exclamations, many of Nanyang's female fans began to speak up for him.
I heard this and let out an awkward laugh.
But I didn't pay much attention, instead quietly adjusting my breathing.
After all, following four consecutive victories, I was already feeling a bit fatigued...
