Zhao Feiyan put away her usual playful attitude and became more serious than ever.
"Senior Brother Jiang, I'm sorry." After saying that, he held out the bronze mirror, and in a flash of light it was about to trap Jiang Shangzhen.
Jiang Shangzhen immediately added the Light Body Technique to himself, and while retreating, he pinched the spirit. He saw two green lights sinking into the ground in front of him. In the blink of an eye, several thick vines emerged, and smaller branches continued to grow on the vines. Entangled with each other, a high green wall was erected almost in the blink of an eye.
The yellow light shone on the high wall, but it paused briefly before passing through, leaving only a cluster of broken branches.
Taking advantage of this meal, Jiang Shangzhen summoned the spirit beads, kneaded the secrets and cast spells, and saw a light blue brilliance flashing by. Jiang Shangzhen's feet seemed to be helped by the wind, and he was three feet away with a light touch. He was tossing and turning on the field, Clothes are flying, and the yellow light emitted by the bronze mirror is far slower than it is.
Seeing this, Zhao Feiyan frowned slightly, took out the Vajra Talisman and slapped it on her body with her backhand.
Just when she finished this action, a water arrow hit the shield where the talisman was transformed, and then turned into little water stains on the ground.
Jiang Shangzhen began to circle around Zhao Feiyan. At the same time, the spells continued, and the water arrows hit the shield one after another and turned into a puddle of water on the ground.
Gradually, Zhao Feiyan seemed to be standing in a small lake, and then she seemed to realize something, and she hurriedly made a gesture. The bronze mirror above her head turned around, and a large area of yellow light poured down like mist.
At the same time, several rays of green light submerged into the water, and vines as thick as arms grew from the edges of the breath, lying on the shield with teeth and claws.
When the vine encountered the yellow light, it dissipated into little green light within a few breaths. At this moment, several fireballs accurately hit the vine, and the fire suddenly started. There was nothing the yellow light could do for a moment.
Zhao Feiyan looked solemn and patted the jade pendant on her waist. A layer of green shield rose up inside the golden shield. At the same time, she threw out a flying knife. The flying knife turned into a red shadow and followed the white figure. The yellow light emitted by the bronze mirror also gradually Suppress surrounding flames.
At this time, Jiang Shangzhen seemed to be tired of running for his life, and there was no movement except for releasing a fireball from time to time. Seeing this, Zhao Feiyan's brows relaxed a little, and she just focused on moving the bronze mirror, hoping to extinguish the surrounding fire as soon as possible.
A fireball flew over, hitting the golden shield and shattering into dots of fireflies. Following the fireball, a dark purple bead appeared silently above Zhao Feiyan's head.
With a cry of "Quick!", a bolt of thunder struck down from the bead with a powerful force. The bronze mirror was knocked to the ground, the aura dimmed, and the two layers of protective shields were pierced like paper.
Accompanied by bursts of thunder, the thunder finally hit the ground in front of Zhao Feiyan, leaving a black mark. At the same time, the spirit bead turned from purple to white, then turned into powder after a tremor.
Without the suppression of the bronze mirror, the surrounding fire surged, and was about to engulf Zhao Feiyan, who was still in a daze. Suddenly, a white figure flashed past, and it was Jiang Shangzhen who grabbed her by the waist, and landed lightly like she was riding the wind. Three feet away.
Zhao Feiyan's face instantly turned red when she saw Jiang Shangzhen right in front of her, and her heart was pounding like a deer.
Jiang Shangzhen put her down gently, and the figure flashed away again. Then a voice came from the distance: "Junior sister, can you put away the magic weapon first?"
Zhao Feiyan hurriedly put away the throwing knife, but her already red face became even redder.
Jiang Shangzhen stopped in front of Zhao Feiyan and asked in a gentle tone: "Junior sister, are you okay?"
Zhao Feiyan lowered her head and replied: "Many... many thanks to Senior Brother Jiang for helping me." Her voice was as thin as a mosquito's moan.
At this time Tian Yi came on stage and announced: "Jiang Shangzhen won the first game and scored one point. Jiang Shangzhen faced Feng Xifeng in the next game."
Then he turned to the two people who were still on the stage and said, "Junior Brother Jiang and Junior Sister Zhao, you only have one hour, so hurry up and adjust your breathing."
"Thank you, Brother Tian, for reminding me." Jiang Shangzhen bowed to Tian Yi, then turned and walked towards the audience. Zhao Feiyan followed Jiang Shangzhen without saying a word.
"Junior sister Zhao!" Tian Yi suddenly stopped Zhao Feiyan.
"Senior Brother Tian, what's the matter?" Zhao Feiyan turned around and looked at Tian Yi in confusion.
Tian Yi was seen holding a light gold talisman and a small bronze mirror in his hand.
Zhao Feiyan's face, which had been feeling better, suddenly turned red again. She hurriedly stepped forward to take the magic weapon, turned around and trotted all the way to who knows where, completely ignoring the courtesy and thanks.
Tian Yi smiled and shook his head, then swayed off the stage.
The disciples in the audience were in an uproar, discussing where this thunder came from. Yuan Qing didn't know why, but while he was thinking, he caught a glimpse of Zhu Ling'er's eyes shining brightly, and bursts of blue brilliance appearing on his body.
"Zhu Ling'er!" Yuan Qing called her hurriedly.
Zhu Ling'er turned around and smiled sweetly: "Don't worry, I'm not trying to make a breakthrough, I just gained a lot of insights from seeing Senior Brother Jiang's methods."
"Then do you understand what happened to the last thunder method?"
Just listen to Zhu Ling'er saying softly: "Thunder is the cardinal of heaven and earth, the change of yin and yang and the five elements. Senior Brother Jiang poured five kinds of pure spiritual power of gold, wood, water, fire and earth into the spirit beads according to the order of the five elements. A trace of the true meaning of thunder evolved during the transformation of Li Shengke. However, this true meaning was too powerful and the spirit bead could not bear it, and eventually it shattered into powder. The key point is not yet clear, but it should be pretty good."
"I didn't expect Senior Brother Jiang to understand the Five Elements to such an extent!" Yuan Qing couldn't say anything except a sigh.
"Yuan Qing, I want to go back to retreat."
"Okay, I'll go protect you."
"There is no need for this in the sect, and the opportunity is rare. The next two competitions may inspire you, so you should stay here."
Yuan Qing thought for a moment and asked: "Are you going to retreat from now on to break through to the realm of foundation building?"
Zhu Ling'er shook her head and said: "It's too early for me to build the foundation. It's good that I can gain something from this retreat."
"Okay, I'll go back with you."
Zhu Ling'er smiled: "Okay."
After Yuan Qing accompanied Zhu Ling'er back, he walked around his house several times to make sure that no animals or wild beasts would suddenly appear and disturb him before leaving with peace of mind.
By the time he returned to the square, the second match was over, and Jiang Shang really won. When he inquired about it, he found out that the iceberg-faced Senior Brother Feng had surrendered without even fighting.
After thinking about it carefully, it became clear that Senior Brother Feng believed that he was no match for Senior Brother Jiang. If he fought head-on, the end of the competition would be quite unfavorable. It would be better to retreat bravely and save his strength to compete for the second-place Foundation Building Pill.
The last competition started soon, and Zhao Feiyan seemed to have adjusted her mentality and returned to her former proud self.
Feng Xifeng put on a black suit, tied his hands and legs, and looked a bit like a secular martial artist.
After the two of them saw each other, Feng Xifeng moved. The light body technique made him move like the wind, and the superior light skill made him fly up and down around Zhao Feiyan like a ghost.
Zhao Feiyan used the Vajra Talisman from the beginning and was not in a hurry to attack. She just let Feng Xifeng do whatever he wanted in the golden shield.
Feng Xifeng's palm flashed with flames, and he planned to repeat his old trick. Not long after, the outside of the shield fell into a sea of fire, and the flames then spiraled into pillars and burned blazingly.
Zhao Feiyan just held up the bronze mirror. Under the yellow light, the flames dissipated in a few breaths as if encountering a natural enemy.
Seeing this, Feng Xifeng's expression became even more gloomy. He raised his hand and fired out five black beads. The beads lined up in a line and hit the same position on the shield in a blink of an eye, making a soft "bang bang" sound.
The ball exploded in response, and billowing black smoke surged out, instantly engulfing Zhao Feiyan's figure. At the same time, Feng Xifeng seemed to be divided into four, and the four black shadows disappeared into the black smoke. In three or two breaths, they returned to their original positions, made secrets to gather energy, and a giant fireball gradually took shape.
After a burst of air flow, all the black smoke was dispersed by Zhao Feiyan with her spiritual power. When she saw the giant fireball in Feng Xifeng's hand, she smiled scornfully: "Brother Feng, you even used such despicable secular means as smoke bombs, just to gather this fireball." A fireball? What if I just stand here and let you attack me?"
Feng Xifeng did not answer when he heard this, and the coldness in his eyes became even stronger. With one hand, the fireball roared towards the opposite side, and then he made a series of moves, and four or five small fireballs flew towards Zhao Feiyan from all directions.
Before the giant fireball even got close, it was illuminated by a burst of yellow light, changing from large to small, and finally turned into little sparks and disappeared. The small fireball followed closely, but its target was not the Vajra Shield. Instead, it hit the purple-black beads on the ground at the edge of the shield.
With a cold "explosion", the four corners with Zhao Feiyan as the center erupted into huge flames at the same time, and then there was a shocking loud noise accompanied by smoke and dust in the sky, and the arena was shaken slightly by the explosion.
Feng Xifeng didn't care about the situation in the smoke. He shook his hand and sent out five more black and purple beads, three of which were directed towards the center of the smoke and two of which flew towards the bronze mirror floating in the air.
There were five loud noises again, and the bronze mirror was blown to the ground. The spiritual light was dim, and there seemed to be a crack on the mirror surface. The smoke and dust on the ground was heavier, making it difficult to see what was going on.
After the smoke and dust dissipated, Zhao Feiyan was seen lying motionless on the ground, with only a thin layer of green light emitted by the jade pendant remaining around her body.
Feng Xifeng's eyes flashed with murderous intent, and he took out a black long and narrow horizontal knife. The blade glowed slightly red under the infusion of spiritual power. Then the figure flashed to Zhao Feiyan's side, and he used his magic power to slash downward with all his strength.
The sound of cracking silk was heard, and the green light broke in response. The black blade continued to slash towards Zhao Feiyan.
Suddenly, the green light in front of Zhao Feiyan formed a Bagua diagram. With just a slight turn, he pushed Feng Xifeng three feet away. Then Xu Jingtian's long sleeves fell in front of Feng Xifeng and shouted: "Junior Brother Feng!" It goes straight to the heart.
Feng Xifeng raised his head at this time, and the blood in his eyes gradually faded. After he completely regained his consciousness, he looked at the black blade in his hand and threw it away hastily. He bowed to Xu Jingtian in front of him and saluted: "Senior Brother Xu, Xifeng is willing to punish me!"
Xu Jingtian pondered for a moment and then said: "In the competition, the sword has no eyes, and it is common to miss occasionally. There is no need for punishment. You won this one."
After saying that, he put away the black knife and returned to his seat leisurely. On the other side, Zhao Feiyan had also woken up and cried involuntarily after learning that she had missed the Foundation Establishment Pill.
After Tian Yi announced the end of the competition, Xu Jingtian called Feng Xifeng and Jiang Shangzhen over and gave each of them a sandalwood box containing a blue elixir the size of a longan.
At this time, Jiang Shangzhen said: "Senior Brother Xu, can I pass this pill along with the opportunity to enter the Yuanling Spirit Pond to others?"
As soon as he said this, everyone looked at him in surprise. Xu Jingtian asked warmly: "Why is this?"
Jiang Shangzhen replied: "I know that my talent is insufficient, and I may not be able to build a foundation with the help of foundation-building pills and spiritual ponds. Besides, I have grown up in this mountain gate since I was a child, and I have feelings for every plant and tree here. I also have feelings for you." I have never thought about going to a sect or cultivating a great path. All I want is to teach and play chess in this mountain and spend the rest of my life in peace. I hope that my senior brother will be able to do it!" He bowed to the end.
Everyone who heard it found it incredible, and many people offered advice, but Jiang Shangzhen had a firm attitude and declined them all. Seeing his persistence, Xu Jingtian said nothing more and just asked, "Who do you want to befriend?"
"Disciple is willing to hand over to Zhao Feiyan, Junior Sister Zhao."
When Zhao Feiyan heard this, she was pleasantly surprised at first, and then she thought of something, her eyes suddenly turned red, and she not only stepped forward and said: "Senior Brother Jiang..."
Before Zhao Feiyan could finish speaking, Jiang Shangzhen interrupted her and said, "Junior sister, you should practice diligently and don't waste this great opportunity." After saying that, he handed her the Foundation Establishment Pill in her hand.
Zhao Feiyan held the Foundation Establishment Pill, lowered her head, raised it after a moment, looked directly at Jiang Shangzhen, and said firmly: "I will never let down my brother's kindness!"
Xu Jingtian told Zhao Feiyan, "Come to the back mountain to find me when you are ready to go to Shangzong." Then he left in the wind. When he left, he flicked his fingers, and a five-color light stopped in front of Jiang Shangzhen, which turned out to be a five-color spiritual pearl.
Then Xu Jingtian's faint voice came: "This is a high-grade magic weapon containing the spirit bead. It is no different from the way you used the spirit bead before, but its power is more than ten times greater. You can take care of yourself..." His voice became more and more distant, and finally can not hear.
Jiang Shangzhen bowed deeply towards the back mountain, then put away the spirit beads and walked towards his residence.
Yuan Qing also returned to his Qingyuan Residence, but before that he looked at Zhu Ling'er and confirmed that she was still in seclusion before leaving.
At this time, he was sitting on the futon, his eyes were calm and firm, and the contents of "Taibai Sword Sutra" appeared in his mind one by one, and he slowly closed his eyes...
