In the final round of the top eight at Kaiyang Peak, Xiao Ding's opponent was still one of Qin Taibao's four followers. His name was Wu Long, and he was at the sixth level of Qi training.
On the night after the lottery was drawn, Xiao Ding went to the cave in the back mountain where he practiced alone.
Sitting cross-legged in the cave, he was thinking about ways to defeat Wulong.
If he were to fight with force alone, Xiao Ding knew that he would definitely not be able to defeat his opponent.
After all, the other party's cultivation level is two levels higher than his own, and his spell methods will definitely be much better than his own. What's more, he still doesn't know whether the other party can break his own diamond technique.
Therefore, he can only find another way, come up with crooked ideas, and win by surprise in order to have a chance to win.
After thinking about it, Xiao Ding felt that there were still too few methods at his disposal.
His most powerful weapon is of course the pair of shadowless ice silkworms, but they have been sleeping since the last time they fell asleep and have never woken up.
The four Golden Bamboo Sword Piglets that he had just put into the Qiankun Pot not long ago were still young and did not have the ability to help him.
Apart from these two spiritual beasts, the spells he has practiced are not yet mature. Thinking about it this way, I feel helpless.
It seems that I still need to practice the fire control and water control skills more when I have time. After mastering it, you can at least have two more attack methods.
Then, Xiao Ding thought of the talismans he had exchanged.
These talismans are indeed effective, and there are many powerful talismans among them.
But the last time I dealt with the left middle value, I had already used it once. This time against Wulong, the opponent will definitely be on guard. If he wants to use the magic talisman to attack Wulong like he did when he attacked Zuo Zhong last time, it probably won't be easy.
What's more, Wu Long is one level higher in cultivation than Zuo Zhong. Maybe he can easily dodge his own talisman if he is prepared.
Thinking of this, Xiao Ding suddenly had an idea in his mind. If he could make Wulong unable to dodge, freeze his body and let him attack him with the talisman, how else could he avoid it?
Thinking of this, Xiao Ding immediately thought that the "Taibai Xuan Formation Jue" he had learned had a small trapping formation called Dragon Locking Formation. If he used the Dragon Locking Formation to trap the Wulong during a martial arts competition, he immediately thought of it. , then doesn’t he just have to let himself be slaughtered!
Thinking of this, Xiao Ding immediately laughed.
Then he stood up and walked out of the cave immediately.
As for setting up the formation, Xiao Ding currently does not have professional props such as formation flags, formation disks, and formation eyes. Moreover, he did not have the conditions to refine formation flags and other items at this time.
Therefore, if he wanted to set up a formation, he could only rely on external objects.
The advantage of relying on external objects to set up the formation is that it is easy to find the formation materials; the disadvantage is that the effect of the formation is much weaker.
After Xiaoding walked out of the cave, he came to the forest and cut down many branches with the sword in the space. They are both thick and thin, and then they are all brought back to the cave, and they are slowly chopped with a dagger. These large and small branches and branches are cut into the shape of the formation flag, which will be used to replace the formation flag for use in the competition tomorrow. .
After working for most of the night, Xiao Ding finally finished all the materials needed to set up the formation. After checking that they were correct, he put each material into his storage bag one by one.
The storage bag given to him by the sect has a small space capacity and can only hold a small amount of items.
Now that he had figured out a way to deal with the Wulong, Xiaoding settled down in the middle of the night and lay down to sleep until dawn.
After breakfast, Xiao Ding, Li Tianliang, Deng Feng, and Shan Tong went to watch the morning arena competition.
Not surprisingly, Lu Zhennian, the chief disciple of Master Yu Heng, and three other inner disciples at the eighth or ninth level of Qi training won and entered the top eight.
In the afternoon session, it was Xiao Ding’s turn.
This time, Su Lanlan and senior sister Cheng Yaowei also came to Kaiyang Peak, specially coming to watch Xiao Ding's game.
Master Sister Cheng Yaowen just finished the competition in the morning. With her strength, there is no doubt that she has won and successfully advanced to one of the top eight in Hengyang Peak.
After Xiaoding greeted Su Lanlan and Cheng Yaowa, he went to sign in next to the No. 4 ring.
The senior sister shouted at Xiao Ding's back: "Junior brother Tian, you have to work hard."
Qin Taibao and his four followers had also arrived at the No. 4 ring. When they saw Xiao Ding and the others, they didn't make any sarcastic remarks like last time.
This was not because they had changed their temper, but because they saw senior sister Cheng Yaowei standing in Xiao Ding's team.
The reputation of Senior Sister is not false. Qin Taibao and others are still a little afraid of Senior Sister, so they did not dare to provoke Xiao Ding in a big way today.
However, when they looked at Xiao Ding, their eyes were full of disdain and contempt. They are also thinking in their hearts, you boy, just wait and see how I deal with you in the ring today!
After Xiao Ding signed in, he returned to his team. To say he wasn't nervous would be nonsense. Today's game is the last round of the Kaiyang Peak audition. If you win, you can participate in the Tianyang Sect's sixty-four finals next year. If you lose, you will have basically no chance to get in touch with the Tianyang Pearl.
Xiao Ding has been coveting this Yang Pearl for half a year. He thinks about it almost every day, how can he find an opportunity to steal this Gate Pearl for his own use.
If someone at the top of the sect knew what Xiao Ding was thinking, he would probably have cut Xiao Ding into pieces.
Thinking about stealing the treasure all day is like hanging yourself because your life is too long!
As Master Yu Heng shouted: "The competition begins!"
Xiao Ding and other contestants jumped onto their respective stages.
When Wu Long saw Xiao Ding carrying a mace again, he couldn't help but smile scornfully: "You just take a broken iron hammer and use brute force to smash it around, and you dare to say that you are a cultivator? You are simply embarrassing our cultivation world. !”
Xiao Ding retorted: "Don't think that my iron hammer is inconspicuous. I will make you lose to my iron hammer today!"
Although it was a casual remark in the moment of battle, if it were said by someone else, Wulong wouldn't care too much. However, these words coming from Xiaoding's mouth made Wulong feel very angry.
He couldn't help but said angrily: "How dare you, an ant at the fourth level of Qi training, to be so arrogant? I will let you taste my power today!"
After saying that, Na Wulong immediately took out a set of shining golden armor from his storage bag and put it on his body, and then used his flying sword to attack Xiaoding directly.
When Xiao Ding saw the armor on his opponent, he knew that it must be invulnerable. Ordinary swords should not be able to penetrate his armor.
Seeing the opponent's flying sword thrust towards him, Xiao Ding once again wanted to test whether the opponent knew how to break defenses, so he put his shoulder up to the edge of the sword and let the edge of Wulong's flying sword cut his shoulder.
There was only a "stab" sound, and the clothes on Xiao Ding's shoulder were torn by the flying sword, but the skin and flesh were not damaged at all. This time, Xiao Ding felt confident again. It seemed that the other party still had not learned the spell to break his own diamond art.
Just when Xiao Ding was secretly happy, Na Wulong saw that his flying sword cut Xiao Ding's shoulder, but failed to hurt Xiao Ding at all. He also smiled evilly. Then he immediately retracted the flying sword and took out a cloth bag from his storage bag again.
When Xiao Ding saw that he had retracted his flying sword, he already guessed that the other party must have known that he had used the Diamond Technique, and since he could not break it, he must have found other ways to deal with him.
Sure enough, before Xiao Ding could fight back, Wu Long opened the mouth of the bag in his hand and shook it towards Xiao Ding's face.
A large amount of dust and sand immediately flew out of the bag, filling the entire arena. At the same time, there were many large rocks mixed in the dust, all of which flew towards Xiao Ding.
Xiao Ding was unprepared for a moment and was enveloped in dust and sand, unable to open his eyes. Then several large rocks hit his chest. His tall body was also hit by the huge force of the boulder and flew towards the bottom of the ring.
At this moment, if he fell directly under the ring, then Xiao Ding would have lost this game.
At this critical moment. Xiao Ding suddenly stretched out the mace in his hand and set it towards the edge of the ring.
The head of the mace was covered with inch-long spikes, which rested directly on the edge of the ring. But it only hooked this little bit, and it still couldn't bear Xiao Ding's body.
Therefore, Xiao Ding just used the force of the spike to hook the edge of the ring, used the light body technique, twisted his body, and flew back to the ring.
This moment was very thrilling. Almost all the disciples watching the fourth stage below the ring exclaimed in surprise.
When Xiao Ding stood on the ring again, Na Wulong had just taken back the bag. Just when he was about to unfold the bag again and continue to attack Xiao Ding, Xiao Ding quickly threw a magic talisman and said: "Kill!"
The spiritual talisman flew in front of Wulong and turned into a fireball that burned toward Wulong.
Wulong quickly shook the cloth bag in his hand again, and a large amount of dust and flying stones flew out from the mouth of the bag, directly wrapping the fireball, and then extinguished the fireball.
Only then did Xiao Ding understand that the magical weapon in Wulong's hand could only attack once, but it could not attack continuously.
In other words, every time his bag sends out an attack of dust and flying stones, he needs to stop and put the dust and flying stones back into the bag before he can carry out the next attack. However, after launching the attack, the dust and flying stones continued to stop outside the bag and attack.
In this way, Wulong will leave Xiaoding with an opportunity to counterattack every time he attacks.
Therefore, while Xiao Ding paid attention to guarding against Wulong's bag attack, he took the time to quietly take out the formation materials prepared last night from the storage bag, threw them onto the ring, and placed them one by one according to the orientation of the formation. good.
Wulong has been busy using his bag magic weapon to attack Xiaoding, trying to drive him off the ring. He didn't pay much attention to Xiao Ding's little moves.
But since Xiao Ding suffered a loss for the first time, he has taken precautions. By using the Light Body Technique and the Diamond Technique, you can effectively avoid Kaiwu Dragon's attacks from dust, sand and flying stones.
In this way, after more than twenty rounds, almost half of Xiao Ding's trapped dragon formation has been placed on the ring. At this time, Na Wulong realized that something was wrong, but he didn't understand the battle method at all. He thought that Xiao Ding deliberately placed obstacles for himself in the ring to prevent him from using magic weapons to attack Xiao Ding.
So, he laughed loudly and said: "It's useless if you throw these rotten pieces of wood in the ring, you still can't stop my magic weapon."
Wulong, like Qin Taibao, also comes from a big family in Tianyang City. His family is in business, has no shortage of money, and his family has a wide network. Therefore, the armor on his body and the magic weapons he uses are all found through his family. Bought on the street.
Xiao Ding threw a spiritual talisman before but did not hit the Wulong. Therefore, he knew that he had to trap this guy. Otherwise, if this guy was jumping around to dodge and had a low-level magic weapon in his hand, he would definitely not be able to hit him with his magic talisman.
Therefore, he started to set up his formation at an opportunity where he could counterattack Wulong every time.
Hearing Wu Long say that he was setting up obstacles for him, Xiao Ding was secretly happy. He knew that the other party did not understand the formation, so he continued to confuse the other party and said: "I want to set up obstacles for you to see how you can beat me."
Wu Long continued to smile and said: "Then let's see how long you can dodge." After saying that, he continued to use his low-level magic weapon to attack Xiao Ding.
Xiaoding was still taking steps, and every time he dodged, he secretly planted a wooden formation flag.
After fighting for about twenty rounds again, when Xiao Ding threw out the last wooden formation flag in his hand, his small trapped dragon formation was completely completed.
At this time, Wulong already felt something bad. He exclaimed questioningly: "Do you know the formation?"
Xiao Ding laughed loudly and said, "You are right." After saying that, Xiao Ding immediately activated his spiritual power, activated the formation, and started the trapped dragon formation.
This is a big deal all of a sudden. In an instant, there were many wooden shadows in the formation. Wulong would encounter obstacles every step he took, and even when he turned around, he would be knocked into the wooden branches.
At this time, he was deeply trapped in the formation and could no longer see Xiao Ding's specific position.
Xiao Ding smiled softly, threw another Thunder Explosion Talisman at him, and said: "Kill!"
