Chapter 37

Qiao Ruohe had no idea how to channel the shadow within him, so he simply fought Zixuan with surface-level tactics. The Xingyue Mountain disciples were loudly cheering on their senior brother during the Combat of Immortals. The duel reached its tenth round. Zixuan unleashed the Kunlun Mirror, and a beam of light shot forth from it, obliterating a wall of fire in mid-air. Timing his move precisely, Qiao Ruohe conjured a new wall of fire from his fingertips the exact moment the previous one was destroyed. While he merely expended his own spiritual power, his opponent was draining a formidable Dharma Treasure that suffered wear and tear with every use. Eight consecutive walls of fire bore down from above, only to be destroyed one after another by six beams of light. Realizing that continuing this way would inevitably ruin the spiritual surface of the Kunlun Mirror, Zixuan spent the next twenty-odd rounds dodging. His shadow moved with his body, flashing upward continuously—first to evade the walls of fire and avoid exhausting the Kunlun Mirror, and second to seize a commanding, high-altitude advantage.
