The battle between Li Shenzhi and Zhao Benlei reached its climax right from the start. Zhao Benlei was as his name suggested, swift and decisive. He started with a killer move, as powerful as thunder and full of murderous aura.
Faced with such a strong enemy, all of Li Shenzhi's cunning plans could not be implemented. He could only passively fight back and deploy large numbers of black and white chess pieces without hesitation.
Zhao Benlei swung his sword, and the sword light was as fast as lightning, splashing wildly in all directions with him as the center. With a strange whistling sound, it accurately hit every chess piece of Li Shenzhi.
As the chess piece fell to the ground, Zhao Benlei had already rushed in front of Li Shenzhi with a sword.
clang!
The silver thunder sword collided with the khaki shield light that bloomed around Li Shenzhi, and the remaining power blew away the messy hair in front of the two men's foreheads. Li Shenzhi frowned, and Zhao Benlei's eyes were sharp. Their eyes collided in the air, and sparks flew.
Li Shenzhi hooked his hand hanging by his side, and the chess pieces on the ground immediately returned to their positions using the ground of the arena as a chessboard. Suddenly, the arena shook, and ochre-colored stone pillars sprang up from the ground like bamboo shoots after a spring rain.
Li Shenzhi has a single earth spiritual root, and earth-attributed moves have always been his strongest moves.
Zhao Benlei's eyes became fierce, and a surge of thunder power burst out from his body, like the collapse of mountains and rivers, unstoppable, and in one fell swoop defeated Li Shenzhi's defense.
Bang bang bang!
The nine layers of protective qi on Li Shenzhi's body were shattered one after another, and the whole person was swallowed up by the mighty thunder in an instant.
"Big Brother!" Tang Weimian exclaimed.
Fang Yuxing was amazed below, "What a strong sword intent!"
Next to him, Lu Nanzhi narrowed his eyes slightly, holding a sword, and looked calm, just like Jiang Yuebai.
On the arena, the lightning dissipated, and there was only a pile of broken stones under Zhao Benlei's sword, and no trace of Li Shenzhi.
Stone pillars rose up under his feet, and Zhao Benlei quickly retreated. When he turned around, the scene around him suddenly changed. The sky and the earth were dark, and stone pillars were everywhere on the ground.
He has fallen into Li Shenzhi's formation.
Zhao Benlei looked around and saw endless stone pillars in every direction, without any trace of a fighting arena.
This was obviously some kind of maze that trapped him and made it impossible for him to escape.
This is also one of Li Shenzhi's strategies against the enemy, avoiding the enemy's sharp edge and delaying!
Every match in the Qingyun Club's ring battle has a time limit. If Zhao Benlei fails to break his formation within an hour, according to the rules of the Qingyun Club, Zhao Benlei will definitely be declared the loser.
This is also the safest solution for Li Shenzhi at the moment.
Li Shenzhi hid in the dark, facing the chessboard of heaven and earth, looking at the stone pillars standing on it, and Zhao Benlei had a hard time moving.
However, Li Shenzhi obviously underestimated the "straightness" of a sword cultivator.
Zhao Benlei never thought about breaking the formation. Facing the endless stone forest, Zhao Benlei's eyes became fierce and he stood up from the ground.
The long sword flew into the air, Zhao Benlei put his fingers together and made a seal, dark clouds rolled in from above his head, and wind and thunder howled.
Once the sword technique is completed, swing your arm and cut down.
Boom!
The mighty thunder gathered like a tide, and under the guidance of his sword, it all struck Zhao Benlei as if he was going through a calamity.
Amid the sound of sword ringing, Zhao Benlei, sword and thunder merged into one, and unexpectedly transformed into a giant sword with great lightning and majestic momentum above the stone pillar.
The terrifying power caused the air to distort, and the protective formation on the arena was pushed to the extreme. Distorted lightning continuously burst out from the giant sword and hit the protective barrier.
"The unity of man and sword, this is the move of becoming a god!"
Fang Yuxing, a sword cultivator, was amazed again and swallowed hard. Without the power of a god, he would definitely not be able to stop this!
Tang Weimian became nervous again and reached for something nearby out of habit but missed. He turned around and found that Jiang Yuebai had already run to Lu Nanzhi's side without him noticing.
Boom boom boom!
The giant sword kept sweeping at the stone forest below, and large pieces of stone pillars exploded in the powerful lightning and sword light.
Even if new stone pillars could emerge continuously from the ground, they would still be flattened by the giant sword in the air.
In the face of absolute strength, all conspiracies and tricks are in vain.
The onlookers were dumbfounded and horrified. The strength of the swordsman was undoubtedly demonstrated at this moment.
Even Jiang Yuebai couldn't help but marvel at this. He was worthy of being the one who could fight Lu Nanzhi to a draw. His power was truly terrifying. If it were him, he would probably have to expand his domain to deal with it.
boom!
When the last sword was chopped down, the giant sword and the formation exploded together, and the entire arena was almost cut in half by Zhao Benlei's sword.
Li Shenzhi staggered and fell out of thin air, with broken black and white chess pieces all over his body.
Zhao Benlei suddenly appeared from nowhere, ready to end the game.
The light of the silver lightning sword gradually enlarged in Li Shenzhi's pupils, and lightning danced like a snake, blocking all his escape routes.
At this moment, all kinds of thoughts flashed through Li Shenzhi's mind.
The struggle of not wanting to embarrass my master, the helplessness of the huge difference in strength, the guilt of failing to live up to everyone’s expectations…
Li Shenzhi's mind raced as he gave a bitter smile. Since he couldn't win, he couldn't lose the game in vain. At the very least, he had to give others more chances to win.
Li Shenzhi waved his hand, and the fifty thunder beads Jiang Yuebai gave him, plus the fifty different fire talismans he had stored, spread out around him like stars in the sky.
Seeing this scene, Mu Wushuang was horrified. At such a close distance, all the thunder beads and fire talismans exploded, and Li Shenzhi himself could not escape.
But Jiang Yuebai narrowed his eyes, and then Li Shenzhi raised his hand and shouted at lightning speed.
“Give up!”
Boom boom boom!
A huge roar rose into the sky, and the entire arena was filled with silver thunder and red fire waves colliding violently. The fight continued endlessly with terrifying momentum.
When the thunder and fire waves had consumed each other, everyone saw Li Shenzhi, protected by green light, standing intact on the broken arena. On the contrary, Zhao Benlei, standing opposite him, was leaning on the ground with his sword, half of his body was charred, he was pressing his chest, with blood at the corner of his mouth.
It looks like he's seriously injured!
Li Shenzhi chuckled and said, "Sorry, I admit defeat. You win this game."
In the Qingyun Club arena, as long as the opponent admits defeat, he will be protected by a large protective formation to prevent him from being seriously injured by someone with malicious intentions even after admitting defeat.
"mean!"
The sword practitioners from the Luofu Sword Sect below the stage cursed angrily.
Li Shenzhi did not comment, but shrugged and spread his hands.
But everyone else was praising Li Shenzhi.
"What a good plan!"
"There is actually such an operation. I have learned it!"
"Daoyou is righteous!"
Although Li Shenzhi's move harmed others and did not benefit himself, it was also beneficial to the public.
Because during the ring battle, everyone does not have enough time to rest and heal their injuries. Zhao Benlei is injured at the moment and will definitely not be able to recover to his full strength before the next game starts.
At that time, whoever plays against him next time will have a better chance of winning.
As for Li Shenzhi, he is very optimistic about Jiang Yuebai and Lu Nanzhi, and Zhao Benlei is bound to become a stumbling block for them to advance to the top three.
He lost, but it wasn't a loss in vain.
Zhao Benlei wiped the blood from the corner of his mouth, forced himself to stand up, and staggered for a while before he could stand firm. All kinds of thunder and fire that did not belong to him were raging in his body, especially the thunder with yin and yang attributes.
Although it is compatible with his attributes, it is not something he can easily control now. He must use all his strength to repel it to avoid collision with the fire in his body.
Zhao Benlei gritted his teeth, followed the etiquette, and bowed to Li Shenzhi, saying, "I'll give way to you!"
Li Shenzhi smiled and said, "No, no, you are welcome, fellow Taoist."
Zhao Benlei: …
Zhao Benlei looked incredulous, took a deep breath, and left the stage in silence.
After Li Shen stepped down, he was prepared to be scolded by Mu Wushuang, but Mu Wushuang just glared at him unhappily, suppressed the worry in her eyes, and said nothing.
Tang Weimian also comforted him, "Don't be too sad, Senior Brother. Although we didn't make Master proud, who knows, Junior Brother might have a miracle."
Li Shenzhi smiled bitterly, "I hope so."
Little did he know that in the Jindan stage competition, the delaying tactic that Li Shenzhi had failed to successfully carry out was actually carried out by He Wangchen.
For a whole hour, the opponent was trapped in the maze and unable to get out, and was finally judged as a failure.
The opponent left cursing, and He Wangchen advanced to the top 100.
Seeing his name shining in the air, He Wangchen burst into tears of joy and began to wipe his tears while sitting on the stage.
"Master, I succeeded. Did you see it? I made it into the top 100."
There was no one around the arena, as everyone had run away out of boredom. Only He Wangchen was sitting there crying.
