The spring breeze is like a pair of scissors, cutting the willow branches and warming the years. The spring breeze is warm, like a sudden breeze in the summer, blowing the bamboo curtains gently swaying, making people feel enlightened.
Looking at the delicate bamboo leaves hanging above the courtyard, Li Yan straightened his dark green robe and walked out of the courtyard.
The day of the Qi Condensation Stage competition has finally arrived.
Laojun Peak, twenty battle platforms rose up on a super-large platform halfway up the mountain. As there were more Qi Condensation disciples participating in the competition, the number of battle platforms also increased, but the range of each battle platform was reduced from fifty miles to five miles.
Li Yan looked at the thousands of disciples standing in the five areas, and still felt that there were a lot fewer than in the last foundation-building competition. Just looking at the foundation-building masters in front of each peak, there were many futures.
On the Xiaozhu Peak side, the fourth senior sister, the fifth senior brother, and the three nephews did not come. The foundation-building disciples of each peak were mainly the top forty-nine. They came to select the future disciples of the Wheel of Life and Death team.
Among these foundation-building disciples, Li Yan also saw Wang Tian and Zuo Shengyan. However, Zuo Shengyan looked at Xiaozhu Peak with a chill in her eyes. Unfortunately, she did not find Wen Xinliang, whom she hated the most.
The Buli Peak diagonally opposite was still blocked and could not be seen clearly. It seemed that Li Changting and Zhao Min might have come as well. Both of them were in the top 49. When Li Yan thought of Zhao Min's slender and clear figure, his heart suddenly felt a wave for no reason.
Not long after, the Jindan cultivators also arrived in the glow of the sunset, but there were only a dozen of them. Then, the same process took place. After Yan Longzi said a few simple words, an elder from the sect's law enforcement hall announced the rules and waved his hand to scatter small red arrows...
This time, there will be twenty foundation-building masters monitoring and judging the battles on the twenty battle platforms.
Twenty people were drawn from each peak. In order to allow the forty-nine Foundation Establishment period cultivators who participated in the secret realm picking to watch the battle throughout, they were not asked to supervise the battle. For example, Li Wuyi was responsible for supervising the battle on a battle platform.
At this moment, on the cuffs of Li Yan's dark green robe, there was a line of bright red small characters "Thirty-three" next to the golden bamboo. Looking at the Thousand Mile Flowing Light Mirror in the sky, the blue light from different areas slowly condensed into small characters.
Li Yan didn't notice his number appeared on the list, so he was thinking silently about some people that Li Wuyi had told him to pay attention to, hoping to be able to see their games before he went on the court.
The forty lines of small characters condensed by blue light on the crystal plates of the twenty battle platforms had not yet dissipated, but all areas were already shining brightly, and dozens of lights of different colors were shooting towards different battle platforms.
After Li Yan took a quick look around, he finally fixed his sights on one of the battle platforms.
The blue protective light shield at the edge of the battle platform kept rotating. In the center, there were already two people facing each other from a distance of a hundred feet. The Qi Condensation cultivator did not stand in the air dozens of miles away like the Foundation Establishment cultivator.
Qi Condensation cultivators can only rely on flying magic tools to fly to the platform. After entering the battle arena, both sides will put away their flying magic tools. After all, flying not only consumes spirit stones, but also consumes mana when activating the battle.
The battle stage that Li Yan was focusing on had a man of medium build, short hair, a resolute face, dark complexion, and a pair of strange drumsticks about one foot long. He was a disciple of Buli Peak named Zhu Gaotai.
Opposite him was a disciple from Lingchong Peak. He was tall and thin, with a sinister face. On his right shoulder squatted a half-human-sized, scarlet praying mantis. At this moment, he kept tilting his head left and right, his big eyes rolling around, and from time to time he glanced at Zhu Gaotai opposite.
The aura of this insect was obviously at the late first stage. It had a pair of huge black and red swords that were constantly crossing and grinding against each other. They had a row of hard serrations on them, and when they intersected, a teeth-grinding sound was emitted.
The reason why Li Yan locked onto this battle platform was because Li Wuyi had previously introduced these two people in detail.
Zhu Gaotai has perfected the tenth level of Qi Condensation Stage and is said to be among the top three in the outer sect of Buli Peak. He has mastered most of the basic immortal arts and is extremely powerful.
It is good at controlling the "Wang Lei Gu", which ranks 630th on the list of poisonous insects. This Gu is only three inches long, but can make a deafening sound. Once it attaches to the body of a living creature, its limbs will sink deep into the opponent's body. At this time, once it stirs up a sound.
The sound shock waves will be transmitted into the body of the creature through its limbs, and the body will swell up like air. During this period, the internal organs will also be attacked by the sound waves, and may be shaken into a ball of meat and fall off before the body can swell to a certain extent.
The disciple from Lingchong Peak opposite Zhu Gaotai is named Fei Ling, who is also at the perfect tenth level of Qi Condensation Stage and a master of the Wood attribute.
Its complementary spiritual beast is the Blood-Brown Mantis, a fire-type beast that ranks 637th on the list of poisonous insects. It is ferocious by nature and likes to eat the tendons and tendons of all kinds of creatures.
A pair of huge forelimb sickles have barbed serrations and are extremely hot. While cutting into the opponent's blood vessels and tendons, the high temperature on the sharp barbs will stick the blood vessels and tendons firmly to them.
All it needs to do is pull up hard and it will pull out the blood vessels and tendons in the creature's body, causing the enemy to curl up in pain as if its body was being stretched and shrunk. It will then open its mouth and bite directly into the abdomen, and then look for the next tendon.
Unexpectedly, these two people met in the first round. After scanning all the twenty crystal plates, Li Yan locked onto this battle platform.
On the stage, the two faced each other for a moment. Although neither of them spoke a word, they were constantly releasing their aura, allowing their breath to rise steadily.
Just as the momentum of both sides was rising, Fei Ling did not wait for the momentum of both sides to reach its peak, and his figure disappeared from the spot in a flash. His move was really skillful, and it was obvious that he was rich in combat experience, disrupting the expected rhythm.
The next moment, a residual shadow in the field kept disappearing and reappearing, reappearing and disappearing. In just a breath, it had approached Zhu Gaotai who was a hundred feet away.
However, Zhu Gaotai seemed to be oblivious to this, and his aura continued to rise. It was about to reach the peak, and the next moment he would be able to strike out with the force of wind and thunder.
Fei Ling's figure appeared and disappeared in the fluctuations, and he was already several feet in front of Zhu Gaotai, which was the best attack distance.
"Swish, swish, swish..." Several green wind blades have rotated into a crescent shape and simultaneously slashed towards Zhu Gaotai's neck, chest, abdomen, and legs.
Fei Ling chose the most common "Wind Blade Technique", but it was undoubtedly the most correct one at this time. This distance wind blade technique was the fastest and most direct. He had practiced this technique to perfection. It was extremely powerful and its rotation was as sharp as a needle.
At the same time, there was a sudden wave in the air on the other side, and the blood-brown mantis appeared one zhang to the left of Zhu Gaotai. Li Yan could not see clearly how it got there.
The huge black and red double swords crossed each other with a "clang" sound, and a dark red light shot out from the intersection like an arrow, as if squeezed out by the huge double swords. This dark red light was as fast as lightning and reached Zhu Gaotai's head in a flash.
Seeing this power, if he was hit, even if Zhu Gaotai had the protection of spiritual power, he might not be able to block this attack. After the blood-brown mantis shot out a dark red light, its figure also pounced forward like a shadow, and its huge forelimbs suddenly slashed forward fiercely.
In an instant, Zhu Gaotai was trapped between two masters of the tenth level of Qi Condensation Stage. Just as their attacks were about to land on him, Zhu Gaotai's originally upright and loyal face suddenly broke into a strange smile, and his body suddenly disappeared without a trace.
Several green wind blades suddenly missed and shot rapidly into the distance. At the same time, a dark red light arrow whizzed past from the side. Then the figure of a blood-brown mantis appeared at the place where Zhu Gaotai had just stood, and a pair of sickles with a streak of dark flames suddenly slashed through the air.
At the same time, the ground a few feet away shook, and an illusory figure quickly rose from the ground. The figure quickly turned from faint to solid, and he was seen holding a drumstick and throwing it into the air.
Suddenly, the two drumsticks transformed into two giant cylinders that were seven or eight feet high and twenty feet wide, and floated in the air, instantly covering an area of several dozen feet.
Li Yan's pupils shrank. The spiritual treasure, the pair of drumsticks was actually a rare spiritual treasure among Qi Condensation cultivators. Its power was many times higher than the spiritual sword in his hand.
This scene was also seen by many other people who were watching the battle arena, and many of them looked envious.
"I never thought that Senior Brother Zhu actually had a magical treasure on him. I never knew that before."
"I have heard a little bit about it, but I was not sure when Senior Brother Zhu took out the pair of drumsticks. I heard that a year ago, Senior Brother Zhu and several other senior brothers teamed up to find a small palace in the desert.
There were also a dozen people from the Taixuan Sect present at the time. They had a fierce fight over the treasures in the palace. Brother Zhu lost three people, while the other side lost eight or nine people.
In the end, both sides also snatched some treasures. I think this pair of spiritual treasures was obtained that time."
Another person said so.
Li Yan was staring at the field intently at this time. The two giant cylinders formed by the pair of drumsticks looked extremely tight. It would be difficult to get out if you were covered by them.
At this time, Fei Ling and the blood-brown mantis were in the center of the two giant cylinders. If they wanted to escape dozens of feet away instantly, it was too late.
And the next moment, an even more bizarre scene appeared. Just as the two giant drum-shaped cylinders covered the ground, the space twisted somewhere a mile away, and Fei Ling and the blood-brown mantis appeared there.
At this time, Fei Ling's face was pale and his breath was a little disordered. It was obvious that he had used some secret technique that consumed a lot of mana, and only then did he avoid Zhu Gaotai's magic treasure attack in a hurry.
Zhu Gaotai's expression was stunned for a moment, and then his face suddenly changed. He flashed and went around to the side of a giant cylinder. He heard a few muffled "chi" sounds, and several vine thorns like giant pythons shot out from the ground and passed through the place where he had just stood.
If he was even half a second slower, he would have been hit by these huge vine thorns. Although he knew that there were Foundation Establishment masters watching over the battle and would not let him die, being seriously injured or defeated was inevitable.
However, before he could make any move, Zhu Gaotai's face changed again, and he flashed away from this place. When he appeared again, he was standing on the top of a giant cylinder. With a wave of his hand, another giant cylinder turned into a black light, shrank and flew back into his hand. It was still a drum hammer.
He looked at the area where he had just stood. The vine thorns shot out into space, and there was already a faint mist floating in the air. It was now slowly dissipating. He turned his head to look at Fei Ling who was a mile away and spoke.
"Brother Fei, you have great skills. I never thought you could cultivate the dual attributes of wood and wind to such a level. The power of wind is extremely fast. The power of wood can already release the 'Frost Vine Thorns'."
He didn't expect that in addition to the wood spiritual root of Lingchong Peak, Fei Ling also possessed a rare wind spiritual root. Otherwise, he would not have been able to escape the giant cylinder transformed by the "Heaven-Breaking Hammer" and escape a mile away in an instant.
If he had reached the Foundation Establishment Stage, his speed would be incredible. Moreover, while he was escaping, he still had time to leave a hidden move. If all my attention was on his escape, I would have fallen into his trap just now.
Fortunately, his spiritual sense was able to sense something. The wood-type spiritual plant "Frost Vine Thorn" is very rare to find. In addition to the unique attacks of vine-type spiritual plants such as thorns, entanglements, and windings, it also emits a highly toxic poison that is easily ignored.
As long as he inhales it or it gets on his skin, after a few breaths, his body will become stiff and he will fall into a deep coma. This is also one of the hunting talents of "Frost Vine Thorns".
"Brother Zhu, are your skills so low? Everyone thought that the gold-based magic of Buli Peak had the most powerful attack, but I didn't expect that among your other spiritual roots, you actually have earth spiritual roots, and they are of extremely high quality.
Although the Earth Escape Technique has not yet reached the realm of 'dust to dust, earth to earth', once the foundation is successfully established, it will not be far from this realm. You should choose the Four Symbols Peak, where the achievement may be higher than that of the Buli Peak."
Fei Ling's face was still pale. He had just hastily used wind magic to dodge, which had already exceeded his current level of capability. Because the speed was too fast, his body felt waves of excruciating pain.
Li Yan watched and pondered, his face extremely solemn. If he met such a person, how could he rely on to win
