"Then are you planning to abstain?"
Lan Yunxin was a little surprised to see Bu Xiaotian bluntly admitting that he was not Li Yunhen's opponent.
"No, although I am not Senior Brother Li Yunhen's opponent, I will never give up the competition just like this.
Now that I'm on stage, I will definitely give my best. Even if I know that I will lose in the end, I can't lose the face of my master, brothers and Zi Lei Feng! "
A determined look appeared in Bu Xiaotian's eyes.
Lan Yun looked at Bu Xiaotian intently, until Bu Xiaotian felt a little embarrassed, then he turned his eyes and said softly:
"I believe you will make your master and brothers proud of you!"
"Well, I will definitely work hard!" Bu Xiaotian nodded.
"Okay, it's getting late. You should go back and prepare for the competition."
"Okay, then I'll go back first."
After Bu Xiaotian finished speaking, he turned and left the square.
Lan Yunxin glanced at Bu Xiaotian's leaving figure, and then turned her gaze to the distant mountain peaks covered by clouds and mist. An inexplicable light flashed in her eyes, and she didn't know what she was thinking.
Bu Xiaotian returned to the small courtyard and saw all the senior brothers sitting at the stone table in the courtyard discussing something, so he also walked over.
"Why did you come back so soon? Did you say something unpleasant and was driven back by Junior Sister Lan?"
Chu Yungong looked at Bu Xiaotian walking over and asked with a smile.
"No."
Bu Xiaotian hurriedly shook his head in denial.
"Okay, Yun Gong, please stop teasing him. It just so happens that my junior brother is back, so I will explain to you the afternoon competition again."
When Cheng Yunliang saw that Chu Yungong was teasing Bu Xiaotian again, he shook his head and said:
"The first is the competition between Yun Jian and Yun Feng. Yun Feng can be said to be one of the best among the contemporary disciples of Chi Ling Peak in terms of talent and cultivation. Yun Jian, are you confident that you can beat him?"
"No, I have seen Senior Brother Yun Feng compete with others before. His cultivation is very profound. In the previous competition, he did not try his best and could not tell his depth at all. Based on the strength he showed, I estimate that our The outcome should be between 50 and 50."
Li Yunjian shook his head and spoke truthfully.
"Well, it is true that Senior Brother Yun Feng's strength is by no means simple. When you compete with him, you don't have to worry too much about the outcome. It will be enough with your full strength."
Cheng Yunliang nodded, turned to Bu Xiaotian and asked:
"What about you, junior brother? Your opponent is senior brother Li Yunhen from Wuji Peak, are you sure?"
"Not a cent."
Bu Xiaotian smiled bitterly and shook his head:
"Senior Brother Li Yunhen has been famous for many years. I have no hope of winning against him. I just want to do my best and not lose the face of Zileifeng."
"Well, in a battle with Senior Brother Li Yunhen, you just have to do your best. Although you can't defeat him, don't be timid. No disciple of Zilei Peak has ever retreated without a fight!"
Cheng Yunliang knew that Bu Xiaotian was telling the truth, so he was not angry because of his words, but encouraged him a few words.
"Yes, I know, Second Senior Brother!"
Bu Xiaotian nodded solemnly.
"Okay, actually there is nothing to say. Just try your best in the afternoon competition, and no one will blame you if you lose.
Now you each go back to your room to practice and ensure that you can perform at your best when you go on stage. "
"Okay, let's go back first."
After hearing this, Bu Xiaotian and Li Yunjian stood up and said goodbye to their fellow apprentices, then returned to their rooms to meditate.
"Hey, Second Senior Brother, I don't have a competition in the afternoon, so I'm just going out for a walk!"
Seeing that Bu Xiaotian and Li Yunjian had returned to their rooms, Chu Yunggong stood up and planned to leave.
"Sit down!"
Unexpectedly, Cheng Yunliang's face darkened and he shouted:
"You and Yunzhen were so reckless in that match. Do you really think you can despise your opponent because you have made so much progress over the years?"
Immediately, the voice of Cheng Yunliang scolding Chu Yungong came from the courtyard. Chu Yungong, who had always been fearless, sat obediently opposite Cheng Yunliang and listened obediently, not daring to talk back at all.
There is no way, who can't beat him?
Seeing Chu Yungong being scolded by his second senior brother, Si Yunrang on the side couldn't stop snickering. Cheng Yunliang turned around and glared at him. He immediately shrank his neck and said:
"Oops! There's still soup simmering in my pot, don't let it dry out!"
After saying that, he ran into the kitchen in a hurry.
Chu Yungong turned his head and glanced at the kitchen without any fireworks, and secretly cursed in his heart that the fat man ran very fast.
"What's your expression? Are you not convinced?"
Cheng Yunliang asked as he watched the expression on Chu Yungong's face change.
"No, no, no!"
Chu Yungong saw a trace of displeasure on Cheng Yunliang's face and quickly shook his head like a rattle.
Seeing Chu Yun Gong trying his best to admit his mistake, Cheng Yunliang no longer wanted to scold him, shook his head and said:
"Okay, forget it this time, go ahead."
Chu Yun Gong seemed to have received an amnesty and fled out of the courtyard without even having time to say hello.
Seeing Chu Yungong's back disappearing at the entrance of the courtyard, Cheng Yunliang shook his head helplessly, picked up the book at hand and read through it.
An hour is not a very long time.
Bu Xiaotian returned to the room and sat quietly for a while, then he heard Chu Yungong knocking on the door and asking him to participate in the next competition.
Several people came to the White Jade Square. The huge arena was surrounded by three floors inside and three floors outside. The elder of the adjudication was standing on the stage and saying something.
Seeing that Bu Xiaotian and his party had arrived, he raised his voice and said:
"Since all the contestants have arrived, I won't say anything more. The first contest will begin in the afternoon!"
After the elder adjudicator finished speaking, two roars sounded from the crowd almost at the same time. Two figures emerged from the crowd, one on the left and one on the right, landing on the stage.
After the two came on stage, they didn't talk nonsense. They bowed to each other and went straight to the attack.
This competition was very fierce, and both of them used all their abilities.
Li Yunjian's offensive was extremely fierce, and every sword carried an indomitable sharpness. If his opponent was even the slightest bit careless, he would surely retreat, and the final outcome would be inevitable defeat.
However, Yun Feng was not a vegetarian. When he attacked, he was like a wildfire setting off a prairie fire, covering the sky and the earth. He was punctual and watertight, without any flaws. He resolved the crisis several times in the slightest, which made countless disciples in the audience secretly sweat for him.
The competition lasted for about half an hour. Li Yunjian performed the "Ten Thousand Swords Jue", and countless sword shadows turned into a sword dragon and attacked Yun Feng with menacing force.
Yun Feng looked at the sword dragon that was about to drown him. There was no trace of fear or panic on his face, and he had already pinched the secret in his hand.
I saw traces of flames immediately appear on the long sword in front of him, and in an instant, three feet around him turned into a hell of fire. The sword dragon rushed into the hell of fire, just like a fish returning to the sea, but there was no Make no waves.
The hell was filled with flames, and all the disciples in the audience couldn't see clearly what was going on inside, and they were secretly worried.
Fortunately, everyone was not kept waiting for too long. They only heard a "dang" sound coming from the inferno, as if two swords were intersecting, and a fiery red shadow flew out and landed in front of Li Yunjian.
Astonishingly, it was Li Yunjian's sword 'Breaking Evil'!
'Poxie' was inserted upside down in front of Li Yunjian. His face was pale and there was a trace of blood seeping out from the corner of his mouth.
The inferno dispersed, revealing Yun Feng's figure.
Yun Feng's face was also pale, and it seemed that he did not receive this move easily. However, although his complexion was poor, it was much better than Li Yunjian's.
In this battle, Li Yunjian lost.
No one needed to tell, everyone could see that Li Yunjian suffered serious internal injuries, while Yun Feng's injuries were minor at best.
Even if the fight continues, this result will not change.
Li Yunjian raised his hand to retract his sword, saluted Yun Feng, jumped off the ring, and walked out of the square.
When passing by Bu Xiaotian and others, he nodded slightly to them, indicating that they didn't need to worry, and then left the square directly, presumably to go back to adjust his breathing and recover from his injuries.
After Li Yunjian stepped down, the elder in charge of the ruling came on stage to announce the results of the competition, and then Yun Feng also jumped off the stage.
The elder waved his sleeves, and there was a flash of light, and the traces left by the previous fight between the two on the stage disappeared without a trace.
Then the elder spoke again: "Next is the last match of the day. Purple Thunder Peak disciple Bu Xiaotian will face Wuji Peak disciple Li Yunhen!"
Bu Xiaotian felt slightly nervous when he heard that he was about to compete.
At this time, a hand stretched out from the side and patted his shoulder. Bu Xiaotian turned around and saw that it was his second senior brother Cheng Yunliang.
Seeing him looking over, Cheng Yunliang smiled slightly and encouraged softly:
"Junior brother, don't be obsessed with winning or losing, just try your best."
Cheng Yunliang's words convinced Bu Xiaotian. After nodding his head, he no longer hesitated, raised his spirits and jumped onto the ring.
"Brother Xiaotian, come on!"
Yun Ying's encouragement came from the audience, but Bu Xiaotian heard it but did not respond. From the moment he came on stage, all his attention was focused on the other side of the ring.
At this time, someone stood on the other side of the ring. It was Bu Xiaotian’s opponent in this competition, Li Yunhen!
Bu Xiaotian cupped his hands towards Cheng Yunliang and said:
"Zileifeng Bu Xiaotian has met Senior Brother Li!"
Li Yunhen's face had no expression and looked a little cold. He just replied lightly:
"Junior Brother Bu, you're welcome. You can take action first."
It's not that Li Yunhen is arrogant. He has been famous for many years. If he hadn't missed out on the last competition, he was confident that he could win one of the eight champions in the last competition.
If you want to take the lead against a junior like Bu Xiaotian who has only been around for more than ten years, it would be a bit bullying.
Besides, he has already seen that although Bu Xiaotian has profound cultivation, there is still a big gap compared with him. Even if he is allowed to take action first, it will not pose any threat to him.
Bu Xiaotian didn't say anything, but just drew out the sword behind him. He didn't take action immediately, but held the sword in one hand and looked at Li Yunhen.
He had never seen Li Yunhen before the competition. Even during the competition, he had not paid special attention to him. This was the first time that he had observed Li Yunhen so carefully.
Bu Xiaotian was very surprised. At this time, Li Yunhen in his eyes gave people a very ethereal feeling. He was obviously standing there motionless, but it seemed that he was not standing there at all. He was just a phantom in front of him.
Taking a closer look, it seemed that he was everywhere, and his shadow was everywhere he could see. This strange feeling made Bu Xiaotian feel a little confused.
Bu Xiaotian closed his eyes, recited the Qingxin Jue silently, and calmed down. When he opened his eyes again, his eyes were clear. Although Li Yunhen still gave him a very ethereal feeling, it could no longer disturb his heart.
Knowing the terror of the opponent in front of him, he raised the sword in his hand, and his true energy circulated rapidly throughout his body, and he used the "Thunder God Art" with all his strength. His whole temperament suddenly changed. There seemed to be a faint thunder lingering around him, and he was gathering momentum. Ready to go.
Although the angina attacks again, he remains calm.
The competition has not yet started, but the atmosphere on the field is extremely tense, and the situation on the field is about to break out.
