At the same time, the cyan thunder on his arm rolled fiercely.
The palm of his hand pushed towards the golden energy wheel blade that was attacking, and cyan thunder poured out along the arm and through the palm.
Cyan thunder surged out several feet, and instantly turned into a hundred arm-thick, enchanting thunder ivy.
Before the golden energy wheel blade came into contact with the Thunder Ivy, it suddenly split into dozens of energy wheel blades that were larger than a palm and bombarded the Thunder Ivy.
"Bang bang bang——"
The wheel blades intertwined with the vines, bursts of energy fluctuations spread, the thunder vines exploded one by one, and the small wheel blades disappeared immediately.
Muffled thunder sounded quickly and violently on the Yuan Zhou, and the sound was harsh, causing the surrounding Yuan practitioners to cover their ears one after another, with a look of astonishment on their faces.
They were shocked by Li Yuan's Yuan Shu.
It was obvious that Tao Dingyang took longer to perform Yuan Shu.
In front of Jin Lingshan's fourth-level Yuan Shu, he actually had the upper hand.
They speculated that the Yuan arts performed by Li Yuan had been practiced to the level that could be achieved in the Nirvana realm, and they were proficient and even perfect.
It seems that Li Yuan's advantage is not entirely a display of his own strength.
If Yuan Shu is of the same level, Yuan Shu cast in a hurry will definitely not be able to withstand Tao Dingyang's attack.
The Yuan Shu performed by Li Yuan was blessed by Yuan Bao. The ring on his hand and the small cauldron glowing with nine colors of light all played some role.
Tao Dingyang's expression changed slightly. He waved and the golden wheel blade returned to his hand. He immediately turned around and hurriedly moved sideways to the right.
The next moment, the energy aftermath of the explosion of the Thunder Ivy struck Tao Dingyang's previous position with ferocity, causing the wall to tremble.
Before the opponent could stabilize his figure, Li Yuan strode forward, dodged, and attacked again.
The fierce and violent blue-silver arc emitted dazzling lightning, making the towering buildings on the Yuan Zhou a little brighter.
The long sword and the wheel blade clashed.
"Clang-"
This time, the wheel blade was directly split into two pieces.
The hidden edge sword blessed by the lightning ring is close to the low-grade mysterious weapon, but the wheel blade of the middle-grade royal weapon cannot always fight with it, not to mention that Li Yuan's own strength is stronger than Tao Dingyang.
The hidden blade slashed down, and although the ferocious energy was greatly weakened by the broken wheel blade, the remaining energy still hit Tao Dingyang's body.
He took a few steps back and bumped into the wall. His body was shaking violently and his whole body was numb.
With only half of the wheel blade left, it fell from Tao Dingyang's hand to the ground with a "clang" sound. As his throat rolled, a muffled groan came out, and a mouthful of blood immediately spurted out.
"Is this the top 100 Yuanzi on the Jinling Mountain Mausoleum List?"
"It's not that good either."
"That's it! That's it!"
"The guy who eats has been ruined, so how can we fight?"
Suddenly, disdainful taunts were like wild waves, bombarding the sky above the square at the front of the giant boat.
Most of the Yuan people watching the show were elites from various sects. They were all among the top 100 on the mausoleum list. There were many who were stronger than Tao Dingyang, and they were qualified to laugh at him.
"Has your grandpa come? If he hadn't come, you would have died!"
Li Yuan's lips curled up slightly, and his words were also sarcastic.
Hearing this, Tao Dingyang suddenly felt endless anger in his heart: "Li Yuan, you alone want to kill me?"
"What, you think I don't dare? You seem unconvinced?" Li Yuan snorted coldly.
He raised his head and glanced around, his cold eyes finally fell on the group of gold-clad Yuanzhe with black stripes, and asked loudly: "Are you also Jin Lingshan's disciples?"
After a pause and seeing that the others did not respond, Li Yuan pointed at Tao Dingyang and continued: "This person wants to kill me, but I'm afraid his strength is not enough.
"I'll give Jin Lingshan some face. His vitality is useless.
"Now, I will punch him, and as long as he survives, I will spare his life.
"Of course, he can also ask his grandfather to kill me. But he has to die first."
When all the Jinlingshan disciples heard this, they did not dare to speak out.
After dozens of moves back and forth just now, Li Yuan clearly understood Tao Dingyang's strength.
A month ago, Li Yuan combined with the blessing of the lightning ring on his finger, it was impossible to kill the opponent with one punch.
After all, Tao Dingyang was not Tao Dingliang, and the gap in strength between the two was huge.
But now, Li Yuan has reached the barrier of the Yuan Dan realm, and his strength has increased by more than a star compared to a month ago.
After a few breaths, Tao Dingyang still remained silent. Li Yuan's eyes towards him were sarcastic, and the onlookers around him were also sarcastic.
After thinking for a long time, he finally couldn't bear the strange looks from around him. He looked up at the group of Jinlingshan disciples that Li Yuan was asking about, and then looked at a group of Yuan practitioners wearing black clothes and gold patterns. They were also Jinlingshan's disciples.
Jinlingshan mainly focuses on practicing metal-based exercises, which are divided into three meridians.
Majoring in the spear lineage, the Qin family is on good terms with them, and they usually wear black clothes and gold-patterned uniforms.
Tao Dingyang belongs to the wheel blade cultivator lineage, and the Wanmeng Chamber of Commerce is relatively close to this lineage.
There is also the Jin Ling lineage that remains neutral and rarely moves around.
At this moment, none of the two disciples on Yuan Zhou had any intention of helping Tao Dingyang.
The children of Jin Lingshan who entered Xia Lin's list of winners are all among the top 100 in the list, and most of them are above Tao Dingyang.
On weekdays, within Jinlingshan, there is a competitive relationship between them.
It has been quite some time since Tao Dingyang entered the top 100, and it was time to launch a sprint to the front.
If they die on Huang Xuanyuan's boat in Daxia, these Jinlingshan disciples will have one less challenger in the future.
Above the pavilion, Xia Haokun, who had been watching the battle, did not say anything to persuade him.
He wanted to kill Tao Dingyang immediately. How could he stop someone from taking action now?
On the Yuan Zhou, the other eight disciples' goal was for Xia Lin to win the championship, and they did not want to cause trouble for their opponents.
In the eyes of outsiders, Li Yuan's initiative to give up the use of Yuan Qi was beneficial to Tao Dingyang.
Tao Dingyang didn't want to give up this opportunity. Once the other party went back on his word, he would definitely die.
On the veranda in the distance, a group of Yuan people dressed in silver cloud-patterned clothing did not stop at Tao Dingyang, but fell on Li Yuan.
The reason for paying so much attention to Li Yuan is that they are disciples of Leiyin Valley, and most of them practice thunder attribute techniques or have Yuan bones that can control thunder elemental power.
"Senior Brother He, is it possible that Li Yuan is concerned about Grandpa Tao Dingyang's identity and wants to let him go deliberately to give both parties a step down?"
The female disciple of Leiyingu with a pretty oval face, delicate features, tall and straight posture, and watery eyes looked at the handsome man beside her and said softly.
He Baijun shook his head and said calmly: "Lingyan, you have forgotten that when the eight disciples of Xia Yang City gathered together before, Tao Dingyang threatened to take Li Yuan's life.
“Then for some unknown reason, Li Yuan suddenly disappeared and did not appear until today.
"Do you think Tao Dingyang can let him go? He's just not as strong as Li Yuan now.
"Although I only had a brief contact with Tao Dingyang at the last gathering, I knew that this person would retaliate for his anger, and Li Yuan must have known this too.
"Now that Tao Dingyang is injured, Li Yuanruo's full punch is enough to kill him.
“It can be seen from the fight between the two that Li Yuan did not try his best. It is still unclear how strong he is.
"I'm afraid that even I may not be able to escape unscathed."
When Yan Lingyan heard this, she was shocked and said: "How is it possible, Senior Brother He, you are ranked twenty-three on the silver list. Our Leiyin Valley is not comparable to Jinling Mountain, which is at the bottom of the Eight Sects."
He Baijun said: "Look at the pair of rings on his left and right hands. If I guessed correctly, they should be a top-quality Yuanbao, and they are specially designed to bless thunder elemental power.
"If he uses a boxing-based Yuan technique, it will be difficult for anyone in Yuan Dan to take it with one punch. At this moment, Tao Dingyang will definitely die.
"He was reserved in his previous moves. If you encounter him in a duel, you have to be careful about this person.
"And the Yun Ring on his hand is black. Only the Valley Master and a few supreme elders in the valley are qualified to wear it. It is comparable to a mysterious treasure."
While a man and a woman were talking in Leiyin Valley, there were more and more comments around them.
Suddenly, under great pressure, Tao Dingyang slowly moved his eyes towards Li Yuan, took a few steps, and the Yuan practitioners around him fell silent for an instant.
This move was undoubtedly a response. He touched the Yun ring on his finger and sneered at Li Yuan: "You think I'm afraid of you. Well, one punch will determine the outcome."
Hearing this, Li Yuan finally breathed a sigh of relief and said in his heart: "Aren't you going to kill me? Then I will destroy you in the same way as Tao Dingliang."
Li Yuan nodded lightly, and took a few steps forward without ceremony. He clenched his right fist tightly, blue and silver Yuan Power surged out of his body, and thunder arcs appeared, converging on his right fist.
A thunder pattern on the spirit-marked life-devouring bone lit up at the same time, turning into terrifying power that surged towards the lightning ring on his finger.
Suddenly the lightning dazzled, and the power in the fist expanded crazily at an alarming speed, reaching the extreme in an instant.
Feeling the terrifying power in Li Yuan's fist, Tao Dingyang's eyes were like bells, his face was gloomy, and his heart was trembling.
At this moment, he didn't care about being frightened. The golden light around his body surged. He turned his palm and a glove like golden snake scales instantly wrapped around his right fist.
The two shouted loudly at the same time, raised their fists, and rushed toward each other.
"boom--"
The two fists collided violently, making a thunderous and ear-splitting sound, and a terrifying energy impact spread from the contact position of the two fists to the surroundings.
Suddenly, a figure flew out and hit the guardrail on the second floor of an attic next to the square. The guardrail broke directly.
The figure did not stop, dragging backwards in the corridor, and finally hit the wall.
This person is naturally not Li Yuan, but Tao Dingyang.
Tao Dingyang's robe was shattered and his flesh and blood were shattered. He fell unconscious in the corridor, and his life or death was unknown.
Counting the surrounding sergeants, there were more than 300 Yuan practitioners. All of them had wide eyes, no one made a sound, and the whole square was in dead silence.
"ah……"
The painful cry broke the silence. Li Yuan suddenly knelt on one knee, panting heavily, his right arm drooped, his teeth clenched, and a trace of blood flowed from the corner of his mouth.
At this time, his face was as pale as snow, extremely weak, and he could not stand at all. He raised his head slightly and looked at Tao Dingyang's position on the second floor, with a slight curve in the corner of his mouth.
It doesn’t matter if your grandfather is the elder of Jinlingshan, or if he has reached the state of Nirvana, he can’t protect you.
Several Jinlingshan disciples in gold clothes and black stripes hurriedly ran to the second floor to check Tao Dingyang's injuries, and their expressions suddenly changed.
Xia Haokun also followed, took a look, and said hurriedly: "You lift him, come with me, let Master Chu take a look."
After looking around, Xia Haokun cupped his hands and said, "Please return to the areas where each hospital is located."
After saying that, he glanced at Li Yuan who was kneeling in the square. At this moment, Fan Hongtao, Li Yunqing, Yuan Yao and others were already surrounding him. It should be nothing serious. He immediately led a group of Jin Lingshan disciples towards the middle of Yuanzhou. A towering pavilion swept away.
As several Jin Lingshan disciples left, the Yuan Zhe in the square at the front of Yuan Zhou suddenly felt his heartstrings relax, and their eyes turned to Li Yuan who was surrounded by Li Yunqing and others.
Looking at each other, some Yuan people had expressions of gloating on their faces.
After a while, everyone began to whisper and discuss.
Jin Lingshan would not stand up for a mere Yuandan realm disciple, but the grandfather Tao Dingyang said would never give up.
With Grandpa Tao Dingyang's cultivation in the Nirvana realm and Daxia being within the control of Jinling Mountain, his grandson will definitely seek revenge if he is bullied.
If Tao Dingyang dies, Li Yuan's situation may be very dangerous.
The onlookers of Yuan Zhe gradually dispersed and returned to the areas where each courtyard was located, leaving only the Yuan Zhe of Yunjun Yuan and a group of soldiers.
Li Yunqing took out a maroon compound pill and a lavender back-along pill from Yun Ring, asked Li Yuan to take it, and whispered: "Xiao Yuanzi, your injury..."
"It's okay." Li Yuan whispered, "You guys stay by my side, I need to adjust my breath."
After saying that, he immediately sat cross-legged, placed his hands in front of the Guanyuan point to form a seal, and entered the state of cultivation.
Due to the restrictions of the array, no one outside of Yuanzhou could know about the movement in the square in front of Huang Xuanzhou. It would be almost tomorrow when the news spread.
The tour of Xia Yang City continued and did not seem to be affected by this.
After parading around the city, Huang Xuanzhou left the city from the east gate and flew slowly towards Xia Lin Academy in the east, with eight Yanhuang Xuanyu flying on both sides.
The giant ship passed by Xia Lin Academy, reached the inner courtyard, and hovered in the sky.
Yuanzhe who participated in the duel returned to their respective areas under the leadership of the elders of each dean.
………
In a certain hall of Yunjun Courtyard, there were thirteen figures sitting around a huge round table.
"Xiao Yuanzi, how is your injury?"
Li Yunqing sat next to Li Yuan, holding the latter's arm tightly with his jade hand, a worried look flashed in his eyes, and asked with concern.
Li Yuan shook his head and said: "I'm fine, I was just shocked by Qi Jin.
“I really didn’t expect Tao Dingyang to have a pair of top-grade Yuanbao-level gloves.
"After adjusting the breath, there are no injuries left, and I can return to my full strength before tomorrow's duel.
"Elder Fan, if you brought us here directly, you should have gotten the list of duels in Haoyi Courtyard."
Although at the banquet, Li Yuan had explored the strength of the Yuan practitioners in each academy, after all, it was only a rough idea.
Fan Hongtao nodded and said in a deep voice to a middle-aged woman beside him: "Danlu, please give everyone the information."
This woman is Du Danlu, another elder of Yunjun Academy, who is in the early stage of Nirvana.
Each of the nine inner courtyards has two elders, and there are a total of twenty-five Nirvana practitioners in the entire Xia Lin Academy.
Du Danlu nodded slightly, said a few words, and then spread a white silk book with gold texture around it on the round table.
"Elder Du, where did you get the information above?" Li Yuan asked, looking at the open silk book.
Looking at Fan Hongtao, Du Danlu whispered: "I just got it from Haoyi Academy. If Tao Dingyang hadn't been injured by you and couldn't fight, we wouldn't have been able to get this information."
When Li Yuan heard this, he understood it from his heart. The various houses were fighting openly and secretly. How could there be no bribers among them?
The information of each house is of great help in the first few duels. After that, everyone's strength is revealed one by one, and it depends on the strength of the remaining members.
Tao Dingyang was originally one of the members of Haoyi Yuan who appeared for the first time. Now his life and death are unknown and he has to be replaced by other Yuan members.
The people lurking in Haoyiyuan took advantage of this opportunity to get the list of those who would participate in the battle.
