Let's talk about Que Xiu. He slowly walked into the woods with everyone paying attention. When he saw no one was following him, he knew that his tactics had worked. He sat on the bluestone and suddenly spit out a mouthful of blood. This Xue Fan's strength is as strong as a mountain. If he hadn't activated the "Soul Burning Level 1" and his skill doubled, it would have been extremely difficult to resist.
He took a breather. When he used "Burning Soul Level 1" just now, the backlash was so strong and the bone-piercing pain was like heart-piercing pain. Thinking about it now, he still has heart palpitations.
He was very weak. This was the cooling-off period after the "Burning Soul Level 1" was used, and his power was only 50%. Fortunately, he had frightened many people with just one move, and they did not follow him to cause trouble. He meditated on the bluestone and recited the "Requiem Mantra" silently, and his mood gradually became peaceful.
At three o'clock in the morning, Que Xiu slowly opened his eyes. The "Requiem Curse" made him recover a lot. He remembered that his master had said that the "First Level of Burning Soul" is to give external stimulation to the soul and stimulate the body's potential through trembling pain, but what follows is also double damage to the body and soul.
He took the time to look around and saw birds chirping in the empty mountains, but no one was around. It seemed that his tactics were working and he could enjoy some more peace and quiet. Just when I was feeling proud, a female voice like a silver bell came to my ears: "My guess is indeed correct. You are pretending to be mysterious, but you are actually a fool."
Que Xiu was startled and instinctively jumped on the defensive. The girl suddenly appeared, like a ghost. Just looking at this movement, he had already lost a thousand miles.
"I was suspicious at that time. How could you have such strong skills despite your humble appearance? It turns out that you used evil magic to double your skills in an instant, and then hid here to treat the backlash. It's really treacherous!"
Her handsome face was frosted, and she finished her scolding in one breath, leaving Que Xiu unable to intervene in defense. This girl has long flowing hair, but she is wearing a monk's robe, which is very strange.
"You showed your tricks in public, trying to fish in troubled waters and get away with it. It's a pity that poor nuns are born to find hard problems. I'm watching you to death!"
Seeing that he couldn't hide, Que Xiu opened his stance and prepared for a fight. The young girl also reported the matter to her family in a serious manner: "The poor nun is the Yuhongting Pavilion of Qingyu Temple. If you want to ask me why I am called this name, it is because the master picked me up at the Jade Red Pavilion at the foot of the mountain, so he gave me this name."
Que Xiu thought to himself, I am going to fight you desperately, who cares what the origin of your name is. But Yuhongting didn't mean to start a war yet, and was still nagging, "You may be wondering why the poor nun didn't lose his hair? Because the master said that my temperament is unstable and my worldly fate is not over. I need to practice more before I can be tonsured!"
The talkative little Bailing kept chattering. Que Xiu put down his guard and just wanted to have a quick fight and end it quickly. Yuhongting was talking about the beauty of her hundred-knot monk's robe again, and Que Xiu scratched his head repeatedly. Is this girl just here to have a quarrel?
When he was distracted, Yuhongting suddenly took action, his body movements were extremely fast, and his palm movements were like the wind. Que Xiu didn't expect her to use a sneak attack. He was completely unprepared and was hit hard on the back. Fortunately, her palm strength was not very strong. She staggered and almost fell down.
"You idiot is slow to react. You're just rough-skinned and thick-bodied, but you're still beaten." Yuhongting immediately switched to combat mode, with sharp eyes and murderous intent.
"You stinky girl, why did you sneak up on me?"
"You are full of holes, and you still use sneak attacks? A poor nun can knock you upside down with just one hand!" Yu Hongting sneered, and indeed he raised his left hand and attacked with his right palm. Although the palm wind is sharp, it is not very fast. Que Xiu ducked to the left and dodged easily. Unexpectedly, Yu Hongting hurriedly stretched out his left palm, as fast as the wind, and slapped him in the face.
Que Xiu's cheeks hurt, his eyes were filled with stars, and he couldn't help but feel angry. This girl looks beautiful and charming, but she is extremely cunning. She is exactly what Master said, "It is difficult to raise a villain and a woman." He flew forward, wanting to teach her a lesson, but the girl tripped and Que Xiu fell forward and fell to the ground.
Hong Ting covered her lips and chuckled, her expression very enchanting, "Your performance in this 'dog chewing shit' is quite good, I must give you full marks!"
Que Xiu was extremely angry and attacked him several times, but he still didn't get any advantage.
Yu Hongting suddenly stopped smiling and said sternly: "I've already played around with you. I wasted too much time on you. I'm going to kill you with one move."
Her eyes were cold and her expression was focused, completely different from before. She gently twisted the orchid fingers with her left hand, and waved her right hand as if holding something. Countless white silk threads flew towards her face. Que Xiu was startled, and hurriedly took out the "ugly knife" and swung it with all his strength. A pillar of fire swept through with billowing heat, sweeping away all the threads, and Hongting was also knocked back a few steps.
"It's such a weird knife. It had a 'rebound' attribute earlier, and now it has a fire attribute, making it hard to grasp. It's a pity that it still can't break my 'Snow Control'!"
She made a secret with her left hand and waved her right hand again. Only then did Que Xiu realize that her right hand was holding a snow-white whisk, with a crystal-clear color that seemed to be there but not there at all. Just when he was surprised, his whole body suddenly felt tight, as if he was tied up by invisible ropes. The more he struggled, the tighter it tightened until he couldn't move or breathe.
"You have burnt all the visible threads, but you cannot escape the invisible threads. Your cultivation is still far behind. If you go back and practice with your master wife for another ten or eight years, you may be able to make progress."
Yuhongting's expression was extremely proud, but she saw that Que Xiu's face was completely red, his eyes were wide open with anger, and his expression was quite scary, "Oh, you can't beat the poor nun and you are not convinced? Are you pretending to eat people?"
Before she finished her teasing words, Que Xiu raised his arms, and a strong force spread around. Within three feet, the trees turned into powder. Que Xiu immediately rushed over again.
She used the whisk to pull her away from the attack and quickly exited the circle. "I'm really impressed that you can break through the poor nun's 'thousands of clues'! You are not just an opportunistic idiot. Let's just consider it a draw and decide the winner another day."
She waved her sleeves lightly and put away the fly whisk. Que Xiu did not dare to be careless and remained alert at all times.
Hongting Piaoran was already a few feet away. He turned around and smiled sweetly, "I have seen through your wishful thinking. You want to advance to the semi-finals with just one point. You are sure that strong men like me like insurance and will defeat several people with one person. This way you have a better chance of winning. But I want to remind you in a friendly way that there are still some people who are also making wishful thinking. They hide as soon as they enter the game and only wait for the opportunity to take action at the last moment. The real danger is right where it starts."
After Hong Ting left for a moment, Que Xiu was still standing still. He suddenly vomited a mouthful of blood and used "Burning Soul Level 1" twice a day, making him extremely weak and almost unable to support himself. There happened to be some wild fruits nearby, so he picked them and ate them. Then he drank from the mountain spring and meditated for a while before catching his breath.
He recalled Yu Hongting's words and felt that they made sense. Why this treacherous little girl suddenly wanted to help him was really unpredictable in a woman's heart.
As the sun sets, the tired birds return to their nests, and the sky gradually becomes dark. He was still meditating on the bluestone, feeling hungry and thinking about whether to hunt some game to regain his strength.
Suddenly there was a soft sound in the grass, he jumped up like a spring, and then the weapons collided, and a figure was bounced away. Before his feet even touched the ground, he felt a dark wind gusting behind him, and a weapon stabbed at him silently...
