Chapter 650: The Rebirth of Crazy Heaven Tilting

Chapter 650: The Rebirth of Kuang Tianqing

"How is this possible!?"

Ye Xingli, who was livestreaming and watching the battle alongside her fans, widened her eyes in sheer disbelief as she stared at the battlefield.

"Kuang Tianqing... she actually failed to dodge Bai Zhenzhen's strike?"

Meanwhile, within the encampment of Heavenly Sword University.

Wen Wuya watched the scene with equal shock: "Something is wrong, terribly wrong. How could Kuang Tianqing fail to block even a single strike?"

Recalling the words his opponent had just roared, Wen Wuya couldn't help but muse inwardly: "Could it be... could she also be...?"

At this thought, Wen Wuya subconsciously rubbed the space between his brows.

At the same time, Bai Zhenzhen on the battlefield was equally taken aback by the sight; she had never expected her flying sword to pierce Kuang Tianqing's body so soon after the battle began.

"Did Kuang Tianqing make a mistake?"

"What exactly just happened?"

"Could it be a trap?"

In a mere fraction of a second of thought, Bai Zhenzhen seized the opportunity, channeling her sword qi once more to churn the wound with her flying sword and magnify the fruits of this strike.

But in the next instant, Bai Zhenzhen's gaze sharpened as she realized she had lost her connection to the flying sword.

At that very moment, she saw Kuang Tianqing raising her arm, with Bai Zhenzhen's flying sword piercing straight through her palm and emerging at her elbow.

In that most perilous moment, even with her mind in utter chaos, Kuang Tianqing still relied on her instinctive combat reflexes, using her arm to block Bai Zhenzhen's strike.

At the cost of her arm being pierced, she averted the dire consequence of a devastating blow to her head.

And after trapping the flying sword within her arm, Kuang Tianqing forcefully injected a dense, corrupted spiritual energy into the blade.

With the activation of the Heavenly Demon Phantom Avatar, she interfered with the sword's detection module, severing the link between the flying sword and Bai Zhenzhen.

Watching this unfold, Bai Zhenzhen thought to herself: "The Heavenly Demon Phantom Avatar can be used like this? It seems I must avoid letting her inject spiritual energy into my weapons, and above all, I cannot let her capture my flying sword..."

Even as she pondered, Bai Zhenzhen had already drawn the Sword of Desire and Joy, forged by the daughter of the Divine Lord of Seven Emotions.

Originally, she had planned to deploy this military-grade flying sword at the most critical juncture.

Yet she had not anticipated the ever-shifting tides of the battlefield, and suddenly, right before her eyes, a moment she deemed absolutely critical had arrived.

"Whether Kuang Tianqing made a mistake or succumbed to qi deviation, it matters not."

"Right now is my best chance to defeat her."

"I must seize the moment, with the utmost speed..."

Propelled by the acceleration of a sprawling web of lightning, Bai Zhenzhen, wielding the Sword of Desire and Joy, flickered through several afterimages and arrived right before Kuang Tianqing.

The memories with Zhang Yu...

The humiliation from Kuang Tianqing...

That ray of morning sun on the first floor of Songyang City...

Profound emotions erupted from the depths of Bai Zhenzhen's heart, ultimately condensing into streams of black sword qi that infused the blade, slashing toward Kuang Tianqing with an aura that sought to annihilate all creation.

Bang!

Bai Zhenzhen's heart jolted: "What? She's actually using her pierced arm to block me?"

Kuang Tianqing sneered inwardly: "Tch, it's your own flying sword; it must have some resistance to the Sword Dao of Extreme Emotion, right? It'll do just fine as a temporary shield."

At the same time, Kuang Tianqing roared within her mind: "And... you! Get the hell out of my head right now!"

In the blink of an eye, the two combatants had already exchanged over a dozen moves.

Though Kuang Tianqing was initially in dire straits, as she suppressed those alien memories in her mind, she gradually managed to unleash a fraction of her true strength.

Even so, facing Bai Zhenzhen's relentless onslaught, Kuang Tianqing still paid a heavy price.

With a soft squelch, the arm pierced by the flying sword fell to the ground.

At this moment, Kuang Tianqing had undeniably been severed of an arm by Bai Zhenzhen.

"I have an opening." As the battle raged, Bai Zhenzhen's fighting spirit soared: "I don't know why, but Kuang Tianqing's strength has plummeted severely; I have the chance to strike her down."

In the next instant, however, the descending black sword qi slashed through empty air.

Watching Kuang Tianqing gradually dissolve into a mass of shadows, Bai Zhenzhen mused: "She can activate the Heavenly Demon Void Art again? Has her strength recovered somewhat?"

"But it's not over yet!"

The black sword qi pierced through Kuang Tianqing's form, but instead of dissipating into the void, it was channeled into a cascade of hair strands trailing behind her.

Witnessing this, Kuang Tianqing was slightly taken aback, thinking: "This woman... her hair strands spread across the field not only store her mana and form an electric field to accelerate her."

"They also serve as sword vessels, guiding the black sword qi she slashes forth."

Kuang Tianqing frowned, watching as streaks of black sword qi passed through her body, only to be absorbed into the countless hair strands filling the air, and then, guided by the hair, shot back toward her at high velocity.

She felt as though she were standing in a sealed room filled with ping-pong balls; the field of black sword qi was like a multitude of small spheres, bouncing off the walls at breakneck speeds, piercing through her body time and time again.

"Kuang Tianqing!" Bai Zhenzhen attacked relentlessly! Attack! Attack again! Tide-like waves of black sword qi slashed forth continuously, bearing down on Kuang Tianqing.

"How much longer can your void form hold? The more you turn to void, the more you resist, the stronger my accumulated sword momentum becomes!"

"Keep holding on, then. The moment you can no longer endure is the moment of my victory."

Meanwhile, Kuang Tianqing quickly made her own judgment: "I can't drag this out; the longer it lasts, the more troublesome it becomes."

"And this body..."

Feeling the frantic voice in her mind, feeling the impact of those alien memories, pain and fury surged continuously within Kuang Tianqing, yet she forced them down.

She knew she shouldn't be feeling this pain.

She knew she should focus entirely on the match before her.

She knew she should fight with all her might.

But she just... couldn't help it.

"Why has the world become like this?" "Why? Why am I, of all people... going into labor?!"

Enduring the ideological clash brought on by the memories, Kuang Tianqing made her final, arduous decision: "I have no choice but to temporarily abandon this body."

In a flash, Kuang Tianqing's body solidified, instantly submerged by the countless sword qi surging from all directions.

And in the very next moment, the wailing cries of an infant rang out as a tiny body was spat out from Kuang Tianqing's mouth.

Bai Zhenzhen's gaze sharpened as she thought: "A demon fetus?"

"No, she was already pregnant; this is a spare body Kuang Tianqing prepared long ago?"

At the same time, the tiny body grew rapidly, expanding at a visibly perceptible speed.

Meanwhile, the Kuang Tianqing submerged in sword qi let out a furious roar, launching herself at Bai Zhenzhen in a frenzied attack.

At the same time, Kuang Tianqing's original body bellowed: "Demonic fiends! All of you, die..."

But before she could shout more than a few words, her voice fell silent, as if she had completely lost her reason, fighting solely on instinct.

Watching this scene, Kuang Tianqing thought to herself: "Hmph, those bastards from the Reincarnation Group actually injected past-life memories into my mind, trying to weaken my combat power with the clash of ancient and modern ideologies."

"Yet I left my past-life memories within my original vessel; fearing exposure, it seems they took the initiative to erase them once more."

"For the short time ahead, they shouldn't be making any more moves."

Meanwhile, while Bai Zhenzhen was besieged by the frenzied attacks of the original body, Kuang Tianqing's new vessel had already flourished, growing into a youth in his early teens.

With a deafening boom, the original Kuang Tianqing was sent flying by Bai Zhenzhen; driven only by instinct, she temporarily ceased her assault before lapsing back into a daze.

Piloting his teenage form, Kuang Tianqing looked at Bai Zhenzhen and grinned, "Now then, let me play with you using this body. This is likely your closest chance at victory, so make the most of it."

Bai Zhenzhen's gaze sharpened as she thought to herself, "A newly born body, lacking the aid of the Dharma Relics, is indeed a prime opportunity to defeat her."

At this moment, Bai Zhenzhen was in no rush to strike, for the newly reborn Kuang Tianqing before her was clearly no longer frenzied, devoid of the earlier qi-deviation madness.

Bai Zhenzhen continuously adjusted her physical and mental state, determined to seize this opportunity with her most devastating attack.

The very first thing she did next was to turn her sword upon herself.

"Hmm?" Kuang Tianqing was slightly taken aback at the sight, but the next instant, sensing the shift in Bai Zhenzhen's aura, she suddenly realized, "She is using the Seven Emotions Sword Dao to sever her own feelings."

"Wrath, hatred, sorrow, melancholy..."

Kuang Tianqing mused, "Every manner of negative emotion is being severed by her, one by one."

At the same time, the smile on Bai Zhenzhen's face grew ever brighter, as if gradually only one emotion, one sentiment, remained.

"Yuzi..."

Profound emotions surged within her mind, transforming into the finest nourishment for the Ultimate Emotion Sword Dao.

"I will claim first place and complete the Ultimate Emotion Sword Dao."

"I will defeat Kuang Tianqing and utterly shatter her insults toward Zhang Yu and myself."

"I..."

As the Seven Emotions Sword Dao shifted, intense malice and killing intent resurfaced.

Kuang Tianqing thought to herself, "First she severs her negative emotions, driving the Ultimate Emotion Sword Dao with pure, extreme, and incomparably intense love, then she withdraws the sword qi to birth the ultimate negative emotions, striking out the most vicious, most annihilating Ultimate Emotion Sword Dao."

"But if she wishes to go a step further, she must next sever all positive emotions in her heart, all that love, leaving behind nothing but pure destruction..."

A trace of moisture welled at the corner of Bai Zhenzhen's eye, only to be shattered by sword qi the next instant; before the emotion was severed, a wave of intense reluctance rose from her heart.

"Yuzi, I must say goodbye to you for now."

"I want to be with you forever."

"I want to be your best friend forever."

"I never want to hurt you..."

As another wave of Seven Emotions sword qi fell, not a shred of affection remained in Bai Zhenzhen's eyes; only an aura of absolute destruction rippled within her gaze.

Memories of the past faded into dullness at this moment; whether it was high school life with Zhang Yu, the first time they exchanged spiritual roots, or their countless days in university... in Bai Zhenzhen's eyes, they all seemed to turn into monochrome pictures, holding not the slightest allure.

Now, she only wished to use her greatest strength, the most terrifying destructive power, and the most frenzied speed to thoroughly slay the Kuang Tianqing before her.

Soundlessly and without a trace, Bai Zhenzhen had already arrived before Kuang Tianqing, bringing her sword down squarely toward her head.

Kuang Tianqing attempted to resist, only to abruptly discover that beneath this single strike, the spiritual energy, mana, protective aura, and blood vitality within and without her body... all tangible and intangible existences had fallen into a state of inertia, becoming impossible to mobilize or react to, plunged into a deathlike stillness.

Boom!

Bai Zhenzhen's right arm shattered with a resounding crash, and Kuang Tianqing's new body burst into a mist of blood, dissipating into the atmosphere.

Yet the very next moment, the original body of Kuang Tianqing opened its eyes, thinking, "A terrifying strike; even she couldn't withstand it, could she? It's a good thing I used the backup body to draw that blow..."

Just as Kuang Tianqing was thinking this, she saw Bai Zhenzhen's figure already appearing right before her.

"A pity, that first strike was already your peak."

"After that blow, your depletion is too great; this strike is no longer at your zenith."

Watching Bai Zhenzhen bring her sword down once more, Kuang Tianqing, having regained full control of her body, pointed a finger, the radiance of a shattering Golden Core already igniting at her fingertip.

"You are worthy of receiving this move of mine."

Blinding radiance swallowed the figures of them both.

As the light receded, Kuang Tianqing flicked her fingertip, her gaze indifferent as she looked at Bai Zhenzhen, who was half-kneeling not far away, and said, "You still have the strength for one final strike."

"I await you."

"As the strongest opponent I have faced in the individual tournament, this is the respect I, Kuang Tianqing, grant you."

Watching this very scene, Wen Wuya was slightly taken aback, thinking, "Is Kuang Tianqing really this kind of person?"

"In the end, she was still influenced."
