The distance was several dozen feet, and even a Qi Condensation Stage cultivator would only need a flash of time.
Li Yan's heart was filled with awe, and he suddenly felt a wave of heat coming towards him. "Fireball Technique"! This heat wave alone was much stronger than the technique he used. It was the fire magic that Laojun Peak disciples were best at.
Li Yan slipped and went several feet sideways. A fireball the size of a washbasin passed by the place where Li Yan had just stood, and then shot into the distance. Lu Qiutong narrowed his eyes and said, "Ten steps for the swordfish."
He didn't expect to defeat the opponent with just one fireball, but he knew too little information about this uncle who had appeared. Of course, he could only know the opponent's background by taking action.
Seeing that the opponent used basic footwork to dodge, Lu Qiuting kept moving his hands. With a wave of his hands, a large amount of fine sand spread out across the sky.
Li Yan had just flashed several feet away when he suddenly felt the sky darken. He hurriedly used his body skills again, this time with greater speed. He determined that the opponent was using a large-scale fire attack magic, "Sand rain all over the sky!"
Each grain of sand had a terrifyingly high temperature, and it might create a tiny hole if touched. A burst of heat enveloped him, and Li Yan suddenly smelled a sweet scent in his nose, thinking to himself.
"Oh no, this person has actually refined the 'Piercing Lamp' poison in the sand."
Once this poison is inhaled, the person will feel dizzy and tired, and the skin will become red and swollen if it comes into contact with the poison. It will penetrate into the body through the pores like a moth to a flame. Within a moment, the internal organs will feel burning and stinging, followed by large-scale ulceration until death.
During the castration, Li Yan's body stagnated, apparently because he inhaled a mouthful of "Piercing Lamp" into his stomach.
Just this delay, the scorching yellow sand had already covered his head. Li Yan's body was flashing with protective light. He held his breath, raised one hand, and a mist rose from the bottom up to the sky.
In an instant it came into contact with the yellow sand, water vapor suddenly rose in the air, and the sound of "hissing" continued, as if water and fire were interacting.
Li Yan took advantage of this time and slid another thirty feet away.
"Shuiyundou! It seems that this uncle-master is good at water-based skills."
After seeing this, Lu Qiutong had some guesses in his mind.
Li Yan's consecutive magic arts were all water-related. He judged that in his urgent attack, Li Yan must have used the magic art he was most familiar with. This was the instinct of a cultivator.
Although water can conquer fire, fire can also conquer water.
His guess was almost correct. Among Li Yan's five elements, water was the strongest. And the opponent launched a fire attack, so he naturally used water magic to deal with it.
But what Lu Qiutong didn't guess was that Li Yan had mixed spiritual roots.
In his opinion, since the other party was able to become a disciple of a Jindan cultivator at the Qi Condensation Stage, he must have at least two types of spiritual roots.
Therefore, as long as he could force out another spiritual root from the opponent, he would be able to roughly guess Li Yan's method of attack. However, even if he couldn't force it out, he was not too worried.
Li Yan's other type must be a weak spiritual root, and he can usually only practice auxiliary magic, which is usually used for surprise attacks or auxiliary attack and defense. He just needs to make sure that there is no abnormality in the space fluctuations around him while Li Yan is attacking.
Just after Li Yang used the "Water Cloud Pouch" and dodged dozens of feet away, Lu Qiuting appeared at the place where the fight had just taken place. He slapped out with his palm but missed.
Seeing that Li Yandong was hiding and not confronting him head-on, Lu Qiuting slapped his waist, and a string of purple things appeared in the air with flashing light.
The purple object was made up of six spiritual beads that looked like oval purple grapes. Once it appeared in the air, it scattered. The three beads in the front formed a T-shape and turned into three purple arcs of light, which hit Li Yan's face and chest.
The other three suddenly dispersed and circled behind and on both sides of Li Yan, trying to surround him.
Seeing this, Li Yan's figure blurred for a moment, and the next moment, he appeared ten feet to the side. His face was extremely solemn, because he still could not escape the encirclement of the six purple grape spirit beads, and the six purple spirit beads were only a few feet away from him at this moment, and were whistling towards him.
Seeing that there was no way to avoid it, Li Yan's expression was solemn. The opponent actually released such a spiritual weapon after just two encounters. Except for a small sword issued by the sect, there were no other attacking spiritual weapons in his storage bag. It was useless to use it to resist at this moment.
After all, he was attacked from four directions, so he spun around. As his body spun, the protective aura on his body suddenly shone brightly.
At the same time, a rain curtain shot out from outside the protective aura. It was obvious that he wanted to use the density of the rain curtain to resist the attacks from all sides. If he couldn't resist it, it would at least weaken the power of the opponent's spiritual weapon attack. The rest could only be resisted by the protective aura.
Seeing this, Lu Qiuting smiled slightly. This attack of his was intended to force Li Yan into a position where he had no place to hide and had to take it head-on. Since water and fire are mutually exclusive, the one with greater magical power would naturally decide the outcome.
He was already in the late ninth level of the Qi Condensation Stage. Of course, the quickest way to deal with a sixth level Qi Condensation Stage warrior was to defeat him with force. There was no need to talk about an unfair victory. The purpose of a competition was to determine the winner.
Although he still had many tricks up his sleeve, coupled with the poison he was best at, it would still take more effort.
Although he had used the "Piercing Lamp" poison at the beginning, making the opponent lose flexibility, the opponent obviously saw through the poison, and only hesitated for a moment before quickly fleeing.
But this is just a common poison, and it was also a test he started. It was obvious that Li Yan was resistant to this poison.
In the various areas under the crystal plate, not many people were looking at Li Yan at this time. Many people were looking for the strong people in their minds to observe.
"Junior brother seems to be in a bit of danger. This person is using a hard-fought approach."
Lin Daqiao was staring at the crystal plate.
"Junior brother has not lost his balance in attack and defense yet, maybe there is still hope. In the past few days, I feel that this junior brother still hasn't used his full strength, even though he was beaten terribly at times."
Wei Chituo was a man of rich combat experience. He stared at the crystal plate with a serious expression, but he was also worried in his heart whether Li Yan could survive this round of attack from the opponent.
Gong Chenying stared at the crystal plate with her beautiful eyes, not saying anything, but occasionally frowning, as if thinking about something. Yun Chunqu was looking at another battle platform, and seemed to have no intention of paying any attention to Li Yan.
On the other side of this area.
"Oh my, Lu Qiutong is quite good. She saw Junior Brother Li's weakness at a glance and suppressed it with her realm."
Li Changting praised it with a click of the tongue, then glanced at Zhao Min.
Zhao Min's expression was indifferent, without any fluctuation. She just stared at the crystal plate, thinking in her heart.
"Could it be that the Fragmented Poison Body was defeated just like that? Where did the legendary ability to fight against enemies of higher levels come from?"
In the empty pavilion, Yan Longzi twirled his beard. He admired this disciple from his peak. Without knowing the other party's background, he first launched a conservative probing attack.
Then, he determined the opponent's spiritual roots in a very short time, and immediately and decisively formulated the most direct means of attack to suppress the realm.
"It depends on how Li Yan resists this time." He thought to himself. The other elders who were looking at the crystal plate just half-closed their eyelids and no one spoke.
When Lu Qiutong saw that the six purple grape spirit beads had already entered the rain curtain released by Li Yan, she couldn't help but feel relieved.
Although the "Water Curtain Technique" is a good means of defense, it also depends on who you are dealing with. If you use your spiritual power to attack the opponent, the opponent's rain curtain will be in vain.
But the next moment, he felt something wrong in his consciousness. He felt that the moment his six spirit beads hit the rain curtain, it was as if they had entered an extremely sticky body of water. There was no such thing as the situation of passing through and hitting the opponent's protective aura.
"Hmm? Why is that?"
He could feel that this was not blocked by the opponent's spiritual power in the rain curtain. If the opponent's spiritual power was strong, then the six spirit beads should have been bounced out or wrapped by the rain at this moment.
In his consciousness, the spiritual power of the opponent in the rain curtain was obviously much weaker than his own. However, although the six spirit beads were constantly moving forward, those rain beads were able to continuously absorb on the surface of the spirit beads, making the spirit beads bigger and bigger and their movements slower and slower.
"Is there something strange about those raindrops?"
Lu Qiutong was shocked and increased his spiritual power. The six purple grapes moved faster, but they only moved forward a dozen inches. The surface of his body suddenly increased a lot and immediately slowed down.
"The poison is a highly sticky poison!"
Lu Qiuting had seen a lot of poison, and a lot of it.
However, there are only a few types that rely on the adhesion of water. But now he cannot tell which one it is through his spiritual sense, and he estimates that it may corrode the spirituality of his spirit bead.
Lu Qiutong couldn't help but feel heartbroken. Seeing that the attack was ineffective, she could only recall it quickly to prevent it from being contaminated for too long and losing more spirituality, which would be a waste of time.
He spent forty spirit stones to buy this bunch of purple grape-shaped spiritual weapons. It was his most powerful weapon for direct attacks.
So he increased his spiritual power and tried to recall the six spirit beads.
Lu Qiutong felt six spirit beads breaking through the rain curtain and shooting towards him at an extremely fast speed, which surprised him again.
"Did I guess wrong?"
At that moment, he slowed down his spiritual power and tried to attack forward again, but the six spirit beads only entered the rain curtain for a few inches before slowing down again, and their surface became a little bigger, which made him even more confused about the details of the toxins in the rain.
Lu Qiutong recalled the six spirit beads again, and they flew back quickly without any hindrance. Even when they were suspended a few feet in front of him, he did not collect them immediately.
The six spirit beads suspended at this moment should be called spirit balls. Each of them is four or five times larger and is covered with a layer of dark gray water stains, giving people a lifeless feeling.
Lu Qiutong didn't dare to take it directly with his hands, because he was sure that he had never seen such a poison before. He had been refining medicine and poison for more than ten years, but he had never seen such a toxin. He estimated that these spirit beads might need to be nurtured for several months before they could recover.
Li Yan on the opposite side had already retracted the rain curtain, but the protective aura around his body was still flickering, obviously he was afraid of Lu Qiutong's sudden attack.
Lu Qiutong glanced at Li Yan and was thinking about how to store these spirit beads and the next attack when he felt a heaviness in his chest and his head as if filled with heavy lead. He was startled, but his body was out of control and he fell on his back to the ground.
As he fell, a thought came to his mind.
"An expert in the use of water-based poisons. An expert who can blend poison and magic to surpass himself."
This not only involves the use of poison, but also requires a good understanding of water-based magic and the poison used.
This strange scene caused the monks who were watching the battle below to be in an uproar. They didn't know what was happening here, because it was Lu Qiutong who was attacking from beginning to end, and Li Yan had been in a passive defensive state.
Finally, when Lu Qiutong took back the six spirit beads, there was obviously something wrong with the six spirit beads. However, he clearly did not touch the spirit beads, but fell on his back on the ground.
"Brother, what kind of poison is this? I have never seen it before."
A disciple from Laojun Peak asked someone nearby.
The senior brother also looked puzzled.
"I seem to have seen similar poisons before, and they look somewhat similar, but they are extremely poisonous to the gold element, usually made for use on swords."
Another Qi Condensation Stage cultivator from Laojun Peak spoke up.
"Brother Lu, you didn't touch the six spirit beads. How did you get poisoned?"
Because it was Lu Qiuting who was competing, there were quite a few disciples from Laojun Peak watching the match.
"Could it be the poison of divine consciousness? Legend has it that spiritual tools and items infected with this poison will be contaminated as long as the divine consciousness passes through them. It is colorless and odorless..."
"Spiritual consciousness poison, impossible. I heard that kind of poison can only be controlled by those who have reached the Nascent Soul stage. Moreover, the raw materials used to refine it should not exist in this world. How can this person find it?"
"Who is this person? Why have I never seen him before..."
Li Changting looked at the crystal plate solemnly and talked to himself.
"The poison of the divine consciousness, could it be possible that the fragmented poisonous body could produce such a deadly poison on its own?"
Zhao Min was still staring at the young man in the crystal plate whose protective aura was gradually disappearing, and thought to herself.
"Whether it's a divine poison or not, at least it can be used in public without being discovered. It's truly one of the three most poisonous bodies in the world."
"What method did Junior Brother use? How come I didn't see it?"
On the other side, Lin Daqiao scratched his head and looked at Wei Chituo and others. Wei Chituo and Gong Chenying looked at each other, their eyes full of confusion. They also couldn't figure out how Li Yan poisoned them.
On the suspended pavilion.
"This is not a spiritual poison!"
Yan Longzi said.
