Chapter 558: Chapter 234: Luo Cheng and Yu Lanxin, Landing on the Island!

“Looks like there’s no need to wait a hundred or eighty years…”

Surpassing Qi Yue, Luo Cheng turned back to look at her, his tone indifferent.

“You!”

Qi Yue’s pretty face turned pale with anger, appearing even colder and more stunning.

This was what she had just said to Luo Cheng, and the words were still ringing in her ears!

Luo Cheng instantly surpassed her and repeated these words, making them exceptionally mocking!

Unwilling to let Luo Cheng continue his arrogance, Qi Yue tightly pursed her red lips, a blush of anger rising to her cheeks. She fully mobilized her essence energy, intending to increase her speed and catch up to Luo Cheng!

Unfortunately, the pressure from the Mimeng Zang Mountain was too great, and no matter how frantically she pushed her essence energy, her speed could not increase any further; instead, it got slower and slower.

In contrast, Luo Cheng was neither flushed nor breathless, appearing at ease.

Without any intention to continue entangling, Luo Cheng directly surged forward.

This indifferent attitude, however, made Qi Yue think Luo Cheng was intentionally humiliating her, making her feel even more ashamed and angry. She took a deep breath, her face returning to its usual cold and proud demeanor, and said:

“What use is your speed now? As long as we set foot on the island, I can surpass you in an instant!”

Luo Cheng paid no attention, the essence energy vortex beneath his feet exploding again and again, increasing his speed, leaving behind one Top Ten Seed Disciple of the Luoxia Sect after another.

“This guy…”

“How can someone at the early stage of the Seventh Level of Awakening Vein Realm be faster than us?”

The surpassed Top Ten Seed Disciples stared at Luo Cheng’s back, their expressions heavy, unable to believe it.

As they got closer to the small island, they felt as if their entire bodies’ essence energy was about to stagnate, making it extremely difficult to mobilize even a portion!

“Could it be that the lower the cultivation, the less suppression?” guessed a disciple.

“How is that possible!”

Others firmly denied it.

If that were true, what about those junior sisters far behind?

Yan Qingshuang and others were only at the Middle Stage of Awakening Vein Realm.

“Don’t panic, the real test begins after setting foot on the island,” said a female disciple.

“Even so, having this guy ahead of us is still uncomfortable. If he were the first to land on the island, it would bring shame to us, the Top Ten Seed Disciples. We would be disgraced speaking about it.”

“Haha, him landing first? Impossible! We still have Senior Sister Yu Lanxin.”

“Right, he absolutely cannot surpass Senior Sister Yu Lanxin!”

The Top Ten Seed Disciples, not far from each other, discussed among themselves, placing all their hopes on Yu Lanxin at the forefront, having absolute confidence in their senior sister!

Swoosh!

Continuously executing the Mysterious Wind Explosion Technique, Luo Cheng soon left the others behind, with only one figure remaining in front.

The Inner Sect’s Senior Sister of Luoxia Sect, Yu Lanxin!

The distance between them was closing.

Yu Lanxin had long noticed Luo Cheng, and as he caught up, she gently tidied her hair and smiled charmingly, her clear voice like pearls falling on a jade plate:

“For the Young Master Luo to maintain such speed here is truly impressive. It seems you want to be the first to land on the island, but unfortunately, I cannot let you.”

Luo Cheng, knowing in not to show a sour face to a friendly person, naturally did not put on a sour expression and immediately laughed:

“Since we both want to be first, let’s rely on our own abilities!”

Hearing this, Yu Lanxin looked at Luo Cheng with surprise and smiled: “Alright, let’s rely on our own abilities then!”

“Quick!”

With those words, Yu Lanxin brought her two fingers together and pointed forward.

Buzz!

An immense sword momentum erupted from her body, forming a sword shadow that seemed both real and illusory, seemingly merging her entire being with the sword shadow, the person and intent as one, flying forward.

Screech!

The lake surface was sliced open, and Yu Lanxin’s speed instantly increased by seventy to eighty percent!

“Incorporating Sword Intent into the movement technique! How brilliant!”

Luo Cheng’s eyes lit up.

They were both genius swordsmen, and immediately, his competitive spirit was stirred. He pushed his Mist Shadow Step and Mysterious Wind Explosion Technique to their limits.

“Explode!”

Amidst a water wave several meters high, the entire lake surface exploded with images, Luo Cheng’s body seemed like a wisp of black smoke, without solid form, swiftly chasing Yu Lanxin close to the lake surface.

“So fast!”

Yu Lanxin’s eyes widened in layers of surprise, unable to believe Luo Cheng still had such reserves at this point!

“Then let’s see who is faster!”

Yu Lanxin’s eyes brightened, becoming more earnest, with sharp air currents fluctuating around her, slicing everything.

Swish! Swish!

The two chased each other, tearing two straight fissures on the lake surface, drawing closer to the small island.

Eight hundred meters!

Five hundred meters!

Three hundred meters!

In just a few breaths, the distance to the small island was down to just two hundred meters, reaching the final stretch.

However, Yu Lanxin still firmly held the first position, leaving Luo Cheng trailing by more than ten meters.

Ordinarily, more than ten meters would not be considered a gap.

A warrior at the Awakening Vein Realm could cross hundreds of meters in an instant!

However, affected by Mimeng Zang Mountain, both were suppressed, with very little essence energy usable within, making even gliding mid-air very challenging, with speed not even matching Tongxuan Realm martial artists.

At this moment, to catch up those few meters was particularly arduous.

“If this continues, I can’t possibly surpass her before reaching the island.”

Luo Cheng looked at Yu Lanxin, frowning deeply.

He originally thought that with his Nine Dao Yuan Qi Mansion, the effect of Mimeng Zang Mountain would be minimal. The closer to the island, the greater his advantage, allowing him to be the first to land effortlessly!

Now it seems, he underestimated Yu Lanxin.

This Senior Sister of the Inner Sect in Luoxia Sect was indeed exceptional, integrating eighty percent perfected sword intent into her movement techniques, not only increasing her speed but also minimizing the effect of Mimeng Zang Mountain, making his advantage disappear!

Luo Cheng also tried once more to incorporate sword intent into his movement technique.

As expected, this last-minute trick failed.

Understandably, sword intent was elusive, and integrating it into movement techniques required years of accumulation and practice. It could not be achieved in one stroke.

By this time, they were only one hundred meters from the island.

“I must find a way…”

Luo Cheng did not intend to give up. Suddenly, his eyes lit up, and he rubbed his storage ring with his fingers, retrieving a nearly two-meter-tall large shield.

“Eh, what is that for?”

Yu Lanxin noticed this scene, puzzled. At this last moment, instead of sprinting, he retrieved such a heavy object, affecting his own speed…

At this moment, Luo Cheng suddenly threw the large shield towards the lake surface ahead, and as it fell onto the water, he stepped on it.

His eyes became resolute, and the Nine Dao Yuan Qi Mansion within him vibrated simultaneously, concentrating all his force on his right foot. He shouted loudly: “Explode!”

Boom!

As Luo Cheng stomped down hard, the large shield forged from steel instantly shattered, exploding with a massive wave. The powerful recoil propelled Luo Cheng’s speed into a frenzy, shooting forward like a meteor!

“Oh no!”

Yu Lanxin’s face changed. She immediately fully activated her sword intent, quickly shooting forward, her posture graceful, her dress fluttering.

One hundred meters!

Fifty meters!

Twenty meters!

Ten meters!

With a thud, a figure heavily landed on the small island, stirring up a strong gust, and the dark red rock cracked open with several fissures!
