"Welcome to the realm of discussion!"
When a cold and loud voice sounded in the darkness, Chen Yanping, codenamed "Zhulong", appeared on the other side of the ring.
Recently, he has been retreating in his family's ashram to prepare for the upcoming "Luoshui Conference".
In fact, at the very beginning, Chen Yanping was not very concerned about the "Luoshui Conference". Based on his personality, he prefers real benefits to illusory fame.
The "Luoshui Conference" may be regarded as a step forward by many monks from poor families, but Chen Yanping was born in the Chen family of Xiangyang and has never lacked resources and opportunities.
But later, he learned from his tribe that the winner of the "Luoshui Conference" would have the opportunity to enter the royal treasury and select a magic weapon.
Chen Yanping is currently standing on the 4,653 steps of "Homesickness Ridge" and has begun to prepare for promotion to the fourth level.
Although there are enough high-quality weapons in the family's secret library.
But things like natal objects are crucial to future practice and are an important cornerstone of enlightenment.
If there is a better choice, he doesn't want to miss it.
"It's just a good time to take advantage of the opening of the 'Realm of Taoism' today to test the results of my recent retreat practice," Chen Yanping looked at the simple-looking arena in front of him and thought silently in his heart, "Let the guy on the opposite side Try out my new 'blocking technique'."
Soon, he saw the code name of his opponent on the side wall of the ring.
His expression suddenly froze.
"'Suzaku'? How could it be him?"
Because Chen Yanping went to the Laoshan ruins with Gu Xu, he knew that "Suzaku" was Gu Xu's code name.
Then he quickly realized that Gu Xu had broken through the third realm not long ago and was in the same realm as him. According to the mechanism of the "Realm of Discussing the Tao", it was naturally possible to be matched together.
Thinking of this, Chen Yanping couldn't help but sigh.
He had heard that in the Lantern Festival competition not long ago, Gao Lang from Longmen Academy and Monk Jingru from Lingshan Temple were both defeated by Gu Xu.
You must know that those two people are genuine fourth-level monks, and they have good backgrounds, and they both have some unusual methods of fighting enemies.
If it were Chen Yanping himself, he would be satisfied as long as he could persist for a few more rounds in front of these two people.
He silently comforted himself and said: Gu Xu has such a famous weapon as the "Jinghong Pen" in his hand, and he also obtained the inheritance of Kongxuan Sanren on Mount Laoshan. It is not surprising that he can fight across the border; But in this "realm of discussing Taoism", it is impossible for him to bring "Jinghong Pen" in. Maybe I still have the strength to fight.
Because Chen Yanping is a monk who is good at magic, he went straight to the ring without picking any weapons on the steps.
At the same time, he unexpectedly discovered that Gu Xu alsoHe didn't choose a weapon, and he didn't even use the yellow talisman paper on the ground to draw talisman seals.
"As a Talisman Master, he actually thinks he can defeat me with bare hands?" Chen Yanping frowned slightly, feeling that he was being slighted, "How can he be so confident?"
Darkness The sound of drums sounded in the space.
Gu Xu and Chen Yanping bowed to each other at the same time, announcing the start of the competition.
In the "Realm of Discussion", they could not see each other's faces clearly, but they could clearly feel each other's eagerness to fight.
Perhaps because he had heard of Gu Xu’s previous brilliant achievements, Chen Yanping did not dare to hold back.
I heard him speak quickly without hesitation: "The sage said: Don't talk about strange powers and chaos in this place."
This is the latest high-grade spell he has learned, "Sealing the Town" ——It was born out of the Chen family's treasure "Holy Words Book" in Xiangyang, which was created by the ancestors of the Chen family who ascended to the throne many years ago.
Its effect is similar to "what you say means what you say".
After using this spell, except for the caster himself, all other monks within a radius of tens of meters will not be able to use any spells and incantations, and can only use pure physical weapons such as knives and swords. attack.
The power of it is that even if the opponent's cultivation level is one level higher than that of the caster, it will still be effective.
In addition, if it is used on ghosts, it will have an additional confinement effect.
In Chen Yanping's view, Gu Xu may be proficient in many kinds of magic, but judging from his thin body, he is probably not very good at close combat - this "sealing technique" is just right for people like Gu. Monks like Xu have a very great restraint effect.
While reciting the mantra, Chen Yanping also used the magical power he awakened when he broke through the third realm - "Inner Demon".
It can use the opponent's emotions as a medium to ignite black magic flames in the opponent's sea of consciousness, causing the true energy in the opponent's body to burn from the inside out.
A set of combos, very smooth.
Chen Yanping has used this method to subdue many monks of the same realm, and it has always worked.
However, at this time, he found that Gu Xu, who was opposite him, was still standing there, seemingly not affected at all.
On the other party's body, blazing fire suddenly burst out, as if woven into an orange-red cloak that fluttered in the wind.
A large amount of heat is instantly released in the ring, and the temperature rises rapidly.
“How is this possible?”
“How can he release the spell under the ‘Sealing Technique’? ”
Chen Yanping was shocked.
The scene in front of him was really unreasonable, and it almost completely shattered his cognition and confidence.
Before he could reply, When he came to his senses, the blazing fire roared towards him like a wild horse, swallowing him whole.
He felt like he was torn into countless pieces, and then again. be burnedThe ground was filled with ashes.
It all happened so fast.
He didn't even have time to feel the pain of burning his body, before he was kicked out of the "Realm of Taoism" by the rules and returned to the retreat room.
"I didn't expect that Gu Xu, without the 'Jinghong Pen', would be so strong!"
Looking at this quiet and peaceful room, and the dust suspended in the air Grain, Chen Yanping breathed a long sigh of relief, very glad that he and Gu Xu were only opponents in the "realm of discussing Tao", rather than enemies in the real world.
…………
At the same time.
Gu Xu still stood on the ring, looking at the words "Suzaku, win" that appeared in the darkness, and shook his head slightly.
He originally wanted to take this opportunity to test the power of the newly learned spells.
However, he had just activated the second form of "Seven Burning Heaven Forms", "Mingzhu", and before he could use any other means, his opponent evaporated directly from the ring.
"'Zhulong', 'Zhulong', you have disappointed me so much!" He sighed silently, "I thought that a young man like you, who comes from three powerful families, should at least Those who can withstand two moves."
At this time, he discovered that as the number of people in the "Shenji Camp" gradually increased, the "Realm of Taoism" could only be opened once a day, but now it can be opened a day. twice.
So with a thought in his mind, he started to match for the second time, and secretly prayed in his heart that the "Realm of Taoism" could give him a slightly more durable opponent.
Suddenly, a line of text appeared in his field of vision——
[After testing, you already have combat power far beyond the current state. The current "state of discussion" It is no longer possible to match you with a suitable opponent of the same level. Are you willing to challenge an opponent with a higher level? As an encouragement to the brave, points will not be deducted if the challenge fails. 】
“This ‘state of discussion’ is really considerate!”
Gu Xu complained and replied “I do” without thinking.
In fact, not long ago, he began to suspect that the matching results of this "Realm of Taoism" might not be completely random, but someone was operating behind the scenes.
After all, this illusion was created by three saints: Guoshi, Luo Sishou and Yan Guogong - if a saint wants to tamper with it, ordinary monks should hardly do it. May be aware of.
Since Gu Xu obtained the "Magic Token", he will always encounter an opponent with the right level of strength in the "Realm of Taoism".
The first time, he matched Shangguan Jin and learned the high-grade martial arts "Meteor Walking on the Moon" from her;
The second time, he had just learned the ability to break the rules. After "Firefly Flame", he happened to bump into Xiao Shangzhen, the fourth prince who controlled the "Tianlong Domain", and with the help of him, he further understood the true meaning of the "Seven Styles of Burning Heaven";
Later, in the second He is invincible among monks in this realm.He also used the "Jinghong Pen" to comprehend the "city-wide wind and catkins" technique of using softness to overcome strength, and the "realm of discussing the Tao" sent Chu Fengge, who was good at reckless fighting, in front of him.
......
Once or twice, it may be a coincidence.
But if it happens too many times, it is definitely not an accident.
"Master Chief, is this your secret arrangement?" Gu Xu was silent for a moment and couldn't help but secretly guess.
…………
Above the East China Sea, Penglai Island.
Jiang Haoyang sat cross-legged on the futon, holding the "Magic Token" in his hand and reciting the formula softly.
Soon his consciousness sank into darkness, and he heard the familiar voice of "Welcome to the realm of Taoism".
Penglai Island, Lingshan Temple and Jiange are also known as the "three major sects of Daqi".
Jiang Haoyang is a close disciple of the leader of Penglai Island.
Not long ago, he broke through the fourth realm and refined Penglai Island's ancestral top-grade magic weapon "Rising Sun Golden Spear".
But in the eyes of the monks of the Daqi Dynasty, he was never as dazzling as Su Xiao from Jiange and Jingru from Lingshan Temple.
The reason is simple.
A few years ago, Zhao Yan, the eldest daughter of the Zhao family in Youzhou, shot and killed one person on Penglai Island. No one in the entire sect could defeat her.
Same realm, same weapon, Jiang Haoyang failed to survive five rounds in front of Zhao Yan.
Since then, Jiang Haoyang has locked himself in the cave, devoted himself wholeheartedly to cultivation, and ignored what happened outside the window.
He seemed to have completely forgotten the passage of time, the opening of the Laoshan ruins, the occurrence of the Qingzhou Prefecture disaster, and the date of the "Luoshui Conference".
If the Da Qi court had not sent someone to give him a "Divine Machine Token" some time ago, he might not even know the formation of the "Divine Machine Camp".
"To be honest, I haven't fought with anyone for a long time," Jiang Haoyang sighed silently in his heart during the matching process. "I wonder if I can find something in today's duel." Bring back some of the self-confidence of the past."
After entering the "Realm of Taoism", Jiang Haoyang first picked a relatively handy spear on the steps, and then saw himself on the side wall of the ring. The opponent's code name - "Suzaku".
His mood did not fluctuate at all.
After all, he doesn’t know anyone in the “Shenji Camp” at the moment.
When the drums sounded in the darkness, he clenched the spear in his hand and used Penglai Island's secret skill "Sun Chaser Spear".
Penglai Island is located east of the mainland and was the first place where the entire Daqi Dynasty saw the sunrise. Many years ago, the Immortal Patriarch of Penglai Island faced the early morning sun and understood this set of extremely powerful marksmanship.
The tip of his spear flashed with golden light, and he thrust it straight out without any fancy, and stabbed his opponent in the chest. And his true energy aura also condensed into a phantom in the air, like the early sun rising from the sea.
His breath reached its peak.
The depression and anger that had been accumulated over the past few years burst out at this moment like a flood that broke a bank.
What surprised Jiang Haoyang was that in the face of this menacing shot, the opponent codenamed "Suzaku" did not flinch even a step!
At the same time, the other party waved slightly.
Two stars of different brightness appeared out of thin air on the ring, rotating around each other in a specific trajectory.
But even the dimmer star is much more dazzling than Jiang Haoyang intended.
I saw the dim star floating in front of the "Suzaku", blocking the sharp blow of the "Sun Chaser", like a personal bodyguard.
The brighter star is like a fierce general charging into the battle, holding the king's command flag, and with the momentum of "Thousands of people, I will go", rushing straight towards Jiang Haoyang, eager to He was bleeding, hoping to chop off his head.
Jiang Haoyang was stunned for a moment.
He has never seen such an extremely mysterious, offensive and defensive spell.
But the pressure the other party put on him was no less than that of Youzhou Zhao Yan, who shot and killed Penglai Island one by one that day.
"The power of the stars... This person should have a close relationship with Luo Sishou of the Exorcist Department, right?"
"Could he be Luo Sishou who has a third-level talent? His personal attendant - Chu Fengge, a genius as famous as Zhao Yan? "
The moment the starlight was about to touch him, Jiang Haoyang retracted the gun barrel, and the tip of the gun drew an arc in front of him, and the sea The shadow of the rising sun then rotated and collided heavily with the murderous star summoned by "Suzaku".
Like a meteorite falling into a calm lake.
In an instant, dazzling golden light shot out in all directions like splashing water, and soon engulfed the entire arena.
The arena beneath your feet is spacious enough.
But Jiang Haoyang staggered back several steps and was almost pushed off the ring by the powerful impact.
When the light dissipated, he looked up and saw that his opponent just took a step back.
Although he couldn't see the expression on the other party's face, he felt that the other party dealt with it with ease and seemed to only exert less than 50% of his strength.
"It would be great if the 'Realm of Taoism' could bring in weapons from the outside," Jiang Haoyang thought silently, "Without the 'Rising Sun Golden Spear', I would not be able to use the 'Sun-Chasing Spear Technique' at all. The full power of ”
