Cultivator Returns to the City

Chapter 409: An unexpected downfall

Views:

Boom~

All around, the heaven, earth, mountains, rivers, fire, thunder, and other natural forces manifested in the nine-square grid swept towards Huo Qicheng in the middle at the same time.

The final violent impact was on the golden 'qi dragon'.

In an instant, endless fire, wild thunder, strong wind... all kinds of things were stirring and raging, and the golden 'Qi Dragon' seemed to be really roaring, twisting its huge body, baring its teeth and claws, and shaking away the incoming enemies. Those kinds of natural forces.

The spectacular sight almost made it almost impossible for the numerous Tianjiu Sect and Xuanzhen Sect disciples to open their eyes. Everyone covered their eyes with their hands and squinted at the scene of the fight, with a look of wonder on their faces.

For the disciples of Tianjiu Sect and Xuanzhen Sect, what they saw in front of them was shocking.

Although the disciples who came here were all core disciples of the two sects, their cultivation levels were basically only at the Qi Refining stage. The scene caused by the fight between Huo Qicheng and Wu Shengbao at this moment was something they would not be able to witness at ordinary times.

Compared with the shock and amazement of those disciples, the expressions on the faces of Huo Linsheng and the elders of Tianjiu Sect were full of solemnity at this moment.

They all stared nervously at Huo Qicheng, the fifth elder who was surrounded by the Nine Palaces Bagua in the center. He gritted his teeth and tried his best to move the stake, holding his hands tightly involuntarily.

The power of the spell that Wu Shengbao performed with the compass was beyond everyone's imagination. The earth energy dragon activated by Huo Qicheng with the 'Dragon Suppressing Stake' was obviously feeling a little unsustainable at this moment.

The huge body of the 'air dragon' was constantly being impacted and eroded by the thunder and fire, mountains, water, wind... and other forces coming from all directions.

Looking at Wu Shengbao's expression, he seemed calm and unhurried. It was obvious that he had not tried his best.

Yin Xiu and Yin Tianqi, who were among the many disciples of Tianjiu Sect, were also paying attention to the fighting.

Yin Xiu squinted his eyes slightly and looked calm, without any disturbance.

Yin Tianqi showed a slightly nervous expression. Of course, most of this nervousness was passed on to him by Huo Jianping beside him.

At this moment, Huo Jianping was standing next to Yin Tianqi, holding Yin Tianqi's arm tightly with one hand. The other hand was clenched in front of his chest, and he stretched his neck to look at the fighting scene, biting his lower lip lightly, and frowning. Mai's face was full of nervousness and worry.

"The fifth elder is going to lose..." After a moment, Yin Xiu suddenly said something.

Hearing this, Yin Tianqi and Huo Jianping couldn't help but turn their heads and look at Yin Xiu.

Yin Xiu pursed his lips towards the scene of the fight and said, "Pay attention to the 'Dragon Suppressing Stake' in front of the Fifth Elder."

Upon hearing Yin Xiu's reminder, Yin Tianqi and Huo Jianping quickly followed the instructions and looked at the 'Dragon Suppressing Stake' in front of Huo Qicheng. At this moment, the dragon-suppressing stake was inserted into the ground and vibrated extremely violently. It's almost like a small electric motor.

In addition, the circles of light golden light emitted from the dragon-suppressing stake also began to flicker slightly, becoming somewhat uncertain.

If you pay attention to the expression on Huo Qicheng's face, you will find that Huo Qicheng's forehead is now covered with fine beads of sweat, which even slowly slid down his cheeks. His face looked solemn and labored.

It was obvious that he was feeling tremendous pressure at this moment and was clenching his teeth to hold on.

However, everyone knows it. Such support is difficult to last. On the other hand, Wu Shengbao still seemed calm and relaxed, without any expression of difficulty.

If nothing else goes wrong, it's only a matter of time before Huo Qicheng can't hold on and loses.

Not only Yin Xiu, but Huo Linsheng and several other elders of Tianjiu Sect also saw that the situation was not good, and the expressions on their faces suddenly became heavier.

"It seems that this battle is still going to be lost..."

Huo Linsheng sighed helplessly. His gaze couldn't help but look towards the Xuanzhen Sect, scanning the members of the Xuanzhen Sect who looked a little proud at the moment, and finally his eyes fell on the big bald head.

"Master Wang Xin..."

"Huh, after the fifth elder's defeat, the Tianjiu Sect has almost no room for a comeback. Facing a peerless figure like Master Wangxin who has reached the ultimate level of cultivation. Even if all the people in the entire Tianjiu Sect put together, there is no chance of a comeback. His opponent has no chance of winning at all..."

Huo Linsheng looked a little disappointed. Tianjiu Sect had defeated Xuanzhen Sect in five consecutive Dharma competitions. He really didn't want to lose like this this time.

"No! No matter what reason the Xuanzhen Sect comes up with, we will never agree to let Master Wangxin fight on behalf of the Xuanzhen Sect!" Huo Linsheng gritted his teeth and secretly said, clenching his fists tightly involuntarily.

The development of the situation did not surprise Yin Xiu.

As Wu Shengbao continued to suppress Huo Qicheng, relying on his higher cultivation level and more powerful magic weapon, he finally defeated Huo Qicheng's resistance.

The moment when the golden 'qi dragon' transformed from the earth's energy was completely destroyed by endless thunder and fire, mountains and swamps, strong winds, floods... and so on. The pale golden dragon-suppressing stake driven into the ground in front of Huo Qicheng also buzzed, as if it was violently shaken by a powerful force.

With a 'swish' sound, it flew out directly.

At the same time, Huo Qicheng also felt as if he had been hit hard, his body trembled, and then, with a 'pop' sound, he opened his mouth and spurted out a large mouthful of blood, and his body was thrown away...

"Fifth Elder!"

"Fifth Elder..."

Seeing this scene, everyone in the Tianjiu Sect felt nervous, exclaimed loudly, and rushed forward.

Wu Shengbao had no intention of continuing to take action. Looking at Huo Qicheng who was knocked away, he smiled coldly and immediately withdrew the compass, a magical weapon in mid-air.

"Huo Qicheng, you lose!"

Wu Shengbao looked at Huo Qicheng, who was struggling to hold up his upper body with both hands after landing, with a victor's attitude, and said with a somewhat complacent sneer.

"Fifth Elder, how do you feel?"

"Fifth Elder, are you okay?"

Everyone in Tianjiumen hurriedly helped Huo Qicheng up from the ground.

Huo Qicheng's mouth was filled with blood at this time, his face turned pale, and his eyes were fixed on Wu Shengbao, who was looking like a winner across from him. His eyes were full of unwillingness and... guilt!

"Wu Shengbao, you just won one game, don't be too proud!"

Huo Linsheng also came over, snorted coldly at Wu Shengbao, and quickly stepped forward to check on Huo Qicheng.

When Wu Shengbao heard this, he smiled coldly. He said to Huo Linsheng: "Huo Linsheng, the leader of this sect is proud of himself, what can you do to me? It's just one event now, but there will be two soon. This time, your Tianjiu sect will definitely lose!"

After saying that, Wu Shengbao sneered again and again.

Huo Linsheng looked back at him and said: "The second competition has not yet begun, and the outcome is not yet known. Wu Shengbao, don't talk too much, you may be too careful to use your tongue, hum!"

After finishing speaking, Huo Linsheng turned to Huo Qicheng and said, "Fifth Elder, are you okay? How do you feel?"

Hearing Huo Linsheng's inquiry, Huo Qicheng's pale face suddenly showed a trace of deep guilt and self-blame. Even his eyes couldn't help but turn slightly red. He looked at Huo Linsheng and said in a trembling voice: "Master. I am so ashamed of myself." Nine sects! I lost such a crucial battle..."

Seeing Huo Qicheng's guilty and self-reproaching look, and even a little lost, Huo Linsheng couldn't help but sigh slightly in his heart. He had anticipated the outcome of this battle in advance.

It's just that Tianjiu Sect has no choice but to let Fifth Elder Huo Qicheng take a chance. Even if the hope is not even 100%, at least there is still a glimmer of possibility.

If it had been anyone else, he would have lost worse than Huo Qicheng.

Tianjiumen really has no more room to choose, after all. Master Wangxin is almost invincible to the Tianjiu Sect. No matter who confronts Master Wangxin, he will definitely lose.

Yes. The only hope for Tianjiumen to win is for Huo Qicheng to compete with Wu Shengbao.

Now, failure is actually something that everyone expected. No one would blame Huo Qicheng. Everyone knew that Huo Qicheng had really tried his best just now.

However, his strength is indeed inferior to Wu Shengbao of Xuanzhen Sect.

"Fifth Elder. You don't have to blame yourself. This is just a competition. We still have two chances to save the defeat."

Huo Linsheng comforted.

However, Huo Qicheng smiled miserably and said: "Master, do you think we... really have a chance to save the defeat?"

The other Tianjiumen elders around him were silent for a while when they heard this.

They all knew exactly what the situation was going to be this time and had discussed it beforehand. The so-called saving the defeat is nothing more than self-comfort.

Unless...unless Tianjiumen can find a foreign aid that is more powerful than Master Wangxin from Zentian Temple, but is this possible

What's more, now that the competition is imminent, even if it can be found, it will be too late in time.

Huo Linsheng looked at the silent crowd. As the leader of the Tianjiu Sect, he had to speak at this time.

Taking a deep breath, Huo Linsheng said in a deep voice: "Don't be so pessimistic. We will fight to the death later and let Master Wangxin from Chantian Temple fight on behalf of the Xuanzhen Sect."

"Xuanzhen Sect is without Master Wangxin. We are at least 70% sure that we can win the remaining two games!"

Several elders of Tianjiu Sect looked at each other and nodded slowly. They also understand that if Tianjiumen does not want to lose this Dharma Competition, then this is the only way.

"Now, I just don't know what kind of excuse Xuanzhen Sect will use to let Master Wangxin fight on their behalf. I'm afraid now that if we firmly oppose it then, Xuanzhen Sect will become angry and let Master Wangxin... "

One of the elders said with a worried look.

"Xuanzhen Sect and our Tianjiu Sect come from the same origin after all. Although the two sides have been on the same level over the years, I think they shouldn't be so ruthless in killing them, right?"

"It's hard to say. If you're not afraid of ten thousand, you're afraid of the worst. Moreover, the reputation of Master Wangxin in the world is not very good. Although those things cannot be verified, the saying that there is no ground, there is no smoke without smoke, this is to say Things that are not allowed…”

"well."

Huo Linsheng sighed slightly, looked at everyone, and said: "Ignore this for now, let's take it one step at a time! If the Xuanzhen Sect really dares...then we can only fight back and fight to the death." (To be continued. .)
