Open up and break into another world

The gun technique "Heavenfall" clashed powerfully with the river of sword energy.

"Heavenfall" was even more forceful and powerful, unstoppable; while the river of sword energy, although slightly inferior in terms of raw power, excelled in its continuous flow. The two collided head-on, and for a time, it was impossible to tell who was superior!

"What!?" Lu Qing couldn't believe it. "In these past few years, my new secret technique has greatly improved, but it's still not enough to suppress him?"

Boom!

In a lightning-fast exchange, both sides changed their moves again.

"Sword Lotus!"

Countless needle-like sword energies surrounded Lu Qing, forming a sword energy lotus flower. Lu Qing was at the very center of the sword energy lotus, like an unopened flower bud.

This sword technique is mainly for defense!

"Five Styles of Reincarnation—Birth and Destruction!"

Endless destruction and endless vitality merged together. This spear strike was dazzling to the extreme, beautiful to the extreme, yet also contained extreme killing intent!

Whoosh!

Too fierce!

"I…" Before Lu Qing could say the words "I'm not convinced," her consciousness was kicked out of One-Star Heaven.

She had lost!

And Xu Ming's consciousness body was also injured—Birth and Destruction was a move that harmed himself eight hundred while killing the enemy a thousand; if it weren't in a virtual environment like the Void Heaven Realm, he definitely wouldn't use it so easily.

Whoosh!

Immediately, Xu Ming's consciousness also withdrew from "One-Star Heaven."

"You…" Inside the Void Heaven Realm, Lu Qing looked at Xu Ming with a very complicated expression. "In these past few years, I've been studying secret techniques every day; but you, you've never studied secret techniques! Why… did I still lose to you?"

Lose?—Lu Qing wasn't afraid! After all, Lu Qing had lost to Xu Ming many times before, so she didn't care about losing once more!

However, Lu Qing was unwilling to accept her loss!

Three years ago, when Lu Qing and Xu Ming last fought, she had clearly defeated Xu Ming. Now, three years had passed, so why did Lu Qing, who studied secret techniques every day, lose to Xu Ming, who never studied secret techniques?

It was a very strange loss!

Suddenly, Lu Qing's expression became somewhat serious: "Xu Ming, I'm going to ask you a question, and you must answer me honestly!"

"Oh? Okay!" Xu Ming didn't think much and said directly.

Lu Qing stared at Xu Ming, her eyes bright: "Three years ago, the time you lost to me, did you deliberately hold back?"

Lu Qing thought of this possibility!—Only in this way could she explain why she could win against Xu Ming three years ago, but lost today.

"Uh…" Xu Ming was stunned, and he secretly thought—women's intuition is really terrifying! I held back so secretly, but she still guessed it!

However, Xu Ming certainly wouldn't dare to answer this kind of question vaguely—after all, Lu Qing was also a God Emperor; if she knew that she could win against him because he held back, what a blow it would be to Lu Qing's self-esteem!

Seeing Xu Ming's flickering eyes, Lu Qing couldn't help but confirm her guess even more, and she shouted嬌声: "Tell the truth!"

"Uh…" Seeing that he couldn't pretend anymore, Xu Ming had no choice but to say, "Indeed… I held back a little!"

"You…" At this moment, Lu Qing was almost forced to suffer internal injuries—holding back a little meant holding back?

In her heart, she cursed Xu Ming thoroughly:

"Damn Xu Ming!"

"You actually dared to hold back against me!"

"I, a dignified God Emperor, need a seven-star God to hold back? Oh, no, three years ago, you were only a four-star God!"

"I… I…"

"If this were to spread, wouldn't I, the Flame God Emperor, immediately become the laughingstock of the God Domain?"

"I…"

But unfortunately, Lu Qing could only curse these words in her heart.

As for why she didn't directly shout it out… you must know that it was already very shameful for a dignified Flame God Emperor to be held back; did Lu Qing still want to repeat this shame with words?

However, although Lu Qing didn't speak, her eyes had already killed Xu Ming thousands of times!

Xu Ming was getting a little creeped out by the look: "That, I didn't do it on purpose…"

"You call this not doing it on purpose?" Lu Qing's beautiful eyes widened.

Holding back, is it divided into "intentional" and "unintentional?"

"Cough cough…" Xu Ming was speechless and had to comfort her, "Lu Qing, don't worry, I won't tell anyone about this!"

"I…" Lu Qing almost vomited blood after hearing this, "Xu Ming, come into 'One-Star Heaven' and see if I don't abuse you to death!—I only used the newly created secret technique, and didn't use those previously created, already perfected secret techniques, so I lost to you! If I don't hide my strength, defeating you would be enough with one move!"

"Right! Right! Right!" Xu Ming certainly didn't dare to refute, and repeatedly agreed.

"I…" As Lu Qing spoke, she felt that something was wrong again—was it glorious for her, a dignified God Emperor, to have a way to defeat a seven-star God?

It didn't seem glorious at all!

Moreover… she used the newly created Emperor-level secret technique, wasn't Xu Ming the same?

Xu Ming's Emperor-level secret technique was also newly created and not yet perfected!

In any case, there was one fact in front of Lu Qing—her, a dignified God Emperor, newly created Emperor-level secret technique was not as good as a Star-level God. Moreover, in the Void Heaven Realm, she was abused by the other party countless times! Moreover, the other party held back in order to let her win!

"This is definitely an indelible shame on my martial arts path!" Lu Qing thought through gritted teeth.

Immediately afterwards, Lu Qing thought of another question: "You said… three years ago, you only held back a little?"

"Uh… yes!" Xu Ming said without hesitation.

Lu Qing said again: "In these three years, my new secret technique has become much stronger than it was three years ago! If you only held back a little three years ago; then now, how could you possibly win against me!?"

Speaking of this, Lu Qing's expression became even more complicated: "Three years ago, did you hold back a lot?"

She, a dignified God Emperor, was not only held back, but also held back a lot… This made Lu Qing very unacceptable!

"Not a lot, I really only held back a little!" Xu Ming said.

"Impossible!" Lu Qing said decisively, "I know very well how much stronger my new secret technique has become in these three years! You definitely didn't just hold back a little, you held back… a lot!"

"But…" Xu Ming said, "It's not just you who's improving! I'm also improving!"

"You cultivate your skills and improve your cultivation every day, you have no time to study secret techniques at all! How could your secret techniques have improved?—And the battles in the Void Heaven Realm only look at the strength of the secret techniques, and have nothing to do with cultivation!" Lu Qing analyzed logically.

"No… my secret technique power is really improving!" Xu Ming said repeatedly, "You also know that what I mainly cultivate now is the ancient cultivator school!"

"Yes!" Lu Qing nodded slightly.

Xu Ming continued: "The ancient cultivator school is different from the Heavenly Dao school! When we ancient cultivator school cultivate, we need to constantly break and then establish, constantly recast our divine body from the particle level!"

"I know this, so what?" Lu Qing still had a cold face.

Xu Ming said: "Every time I recast my divine body from the particle level, I find that this feeling of breaking and then establishing is very wonderful!"

"That's natural!" Lu Qing snorted.

"So, I repeatedly delved into this wonderful feeling of 'breaking and then establishing'! Then, I don't know why, but every time I comprehend this feeling, the power of my secret technique seems to improve a bit!—At first, when I only comprehended it once or twice, the improvement in the gun technique power wasn't very obvious; but after comprehending it hundreds or thousands of times, the improvement in the gun technique power became very terrifying!"

"What did you say!?" After hearing this, Lu Qing suddenly widened her eyes again.

Xu Ming was startled: "What's wrong, Lu Qing? Is there any problem?"

Seeing Lu Qing's appearance, Xu Ming thought that there was something wrong with his cultivation, or that he had gone astray.

Lu Qing didn't answer Xu Ming, but instead spat out three words from between her teeth, one word at a time: "You're a pervert!"
