I Have a Compass for Opportunity

"Regardless if it’s a secret technique, now both sides are evenly matched, Xu Hetong should be suffering," a disciple from the Wind Chasing Division said fiercely.

Xu Hetong, currently resisting the Refined Gold Breaking Mountain Array, naturally sensed this too.

The dark golden eyes of Xu Hetong stared at Liou Yuan, facing Liou Yuan’s eyes that were bursting with a vibrant purple-gold color.

The two bearers of spiritual sight regarded each other from a distance; Xu Hetong finally put away his scorn and said earnestly, "What a pair of spiritual eyes, is this the ability of your spiritual sight?"

"Tell me your name, you’re worthy of me remembering it!"

Feeling the overwhelming spiritual power within him, Liou Yuan stepped toward Xu Hetong, his clear voice exploding like thunder within the array.

"Liou Yuan of the Five Extremes Mountain Ice Vein!"

The final word ’Yuan’ had just fallen.

Bam! The purple light in Liou Yuan’s evil eyes intensified, overshadowing the golden glow, carrying a hint of malice deep within his pupils.

Xu Hetong’s dark golden pupils shrank while gazing at Liou Yuan.

For a split second, his gaze faltered, as if he saw endless ghostly shadows hovering around him.

Among them, there were two most terrifying.

One was a winged creature, with purple eyes like Liou Yuan, spreading its mountain-like wings, seemingly about to envelop him.

Another was a strange-smelling sludge covering his shoulder, with a pair of fierce eyes emerging from within the muck, only three feet away from Xu Hetong’s own eyes.

They seemed so real, as if truly on Xu Hetong’s face.

Even as strong as Xu Hetong, his heart trembled, and his body involuntarily retreated a step.

While Xu Hetong’s body halted out of control.

Liou Yuan, standing upright at the array’s edge, transformed into a stream of purple-gold light disappearing from the original spot.

The Body Skill Treading Flowing Waves shot towards Xu Hetong, the surging spiritual qi during Liou Yuan’s rapid burst shaped into a form akin to a flood dragon.

The flood dragon opened its mouth full of fangs, where the Spiritual Sword transmuted from Moonlight Bracelet emanated sharp sword radiance, momentarily surpassing the golden light within the Refined Gold Breaking Mountain Array.

Forcing Yan Yingsi, who had just caught his breath, to again utilize the Red Robe Swallowing Dome Spell to resist the diffusing sword aura of Liou Yuan.

Silent Rain-Slaying Sword Skill: Rain Curtain Stealth!

Earlier when using this sword, Liou Yuan couldn’t even break the Nether Bone attached to Xu Hetong.

Now activating the evil sight with this sword strike, the mere sword aura spat out left deep sword scars on Xu Hetong’s body.

The source of that sword aura, Moonlight Sword carried a chilling aura.

Watching Liou Yuan cross the distance between them, the sword was about to fall upon Xu Hetong.

"It’s done!" Yan Yingsi even thought the sword strike succeeded.

Xu Hetong’s perplexed gaze cleared at the last moment.

His dark golden eyes at this moment shot a dark golden beam, with a demolishing aura dispersing the encircling golden light of Xu Hetong, colliding with the sword edge in the mouth of the flood dragon.

Yan Yingsi had once mentioned that powerful magic resided in Xu Hetong’s pupils.

Liou Yuan’s evil sight boosts cultivation, whereas Xu Hetong’s spiritual sight specializes in attack.

Clang! The dark golden beam and purple-gold sword aura exploded simultaneously under the tense watch of the Wind Chasing Division disciples.

The boiling sword aura and the destructive aura of dark golden light mingled together, engulfing both Liou Yuan and Xu Hetong.

The energy fluctuations filled the area beside the Refined Gold Breaking Mountain Array, almost blurring the scene for onlookers.

Only Yan Yingsi, closest to the scene, clearly saw the clash between the two.

Liou Yuan wrapped in a blood-colored gauze, sword radiance like a rainbow, engaged Xu Hetong at the center of overflowing energy.

Moonlight Sword and the black curved blade clashed dozens of times in an instant.

The two seemed minimally affected by the residual energy wave, fighting from the center to the edge, then leaping onto the top of the array barrier.

Liou Yuan’s Treading Flowing Waves zigzagged, sword aura fiercely attacking, each strike aimed at vital points.

Xu Hetong, lacking body technique, was at a disadvantage in close combat against Liou Yuan.

Yet, when Liou Yuan’s attacks hit Xu Hetong’s Nether Bone, aside from leaving marks, caused no substantial damage; even ravines on the Nether Bone healed quickly.

Meanwhile, Xu Hetong utilized stillness against movement, with beams from his pupils occasionally burst forth, shredding apart Liou Yuan’s Blood Absorption Magic Gauze Clothing.

During this process, the black curved blade slashed into Liou Yuan, tearing bloody wounds into his flesh.

The black curved blade was peculiar; the cuts inflicted on Liou Yuan felt as though torn by a beast’s teeth, creating a sensation of tearing pain.

Moreover, the moment blood splattered, it was absorbed by the blade, leaving no blood spilled.

Fortunately, Liou Yuan’s Body Cultivation Realm had reached Bone Casting, his physique strong, and attacks through Blood Absorption Skill targeted his body only harmed his skin, causing no fatal injuries.

This scene made Xu Hetong burst into laughter: "So you too are a body cultivator!"

Liou Yuan was a body cultivator, but his Geng Metal Refining Form Skill, a Grade C Top-grade cultivation technique, couldn’t compare to Xu Hetong’s Grade B Body Refining Skill.

Given their equally matched realms, Xu Hetong’s Nether Bone defenses stood firm, while Liou Yuan bore knife wounds, their disparities evident.

"Humph!" Liou Yuan snorted without responding, deploying another Shock Tide Swordsmanship move.

The sword aura transformed into roaring waves, advancing with thunderous momentum.
