October, East China Sea.
After decades of development, the islands in the East China Sea have become prosperous in population and rich in industries, basically meeting the basic standards of one island, one town, and one town with one specialty, providing a strong supplement and expansion for the Xiuxian economic system.
There are more than a thousand islands, you can look up at the shore if you are near, and go straight to Ryukyu if you are far away, and there are very few undeveloped ones.
Rock Island is one of them.
This island is located on the outskirts of the East China Sea. There are no resources to use. It is all gray and bare stones. There are no navigation routes around it, and it is inaccessible. It can only become a habitat for sea beasts and seabirds.
But today, Rocky Island is a little different. A thick white mist envelopes the entire island, forming a layer of isolation and restriction. The stones inside were also emptied, and there was an extra high platform on the flat ground in the center.
This fight is a private matter between the two factions, and no publicity has been made.
Xiao Zhai brought seven apprentices, Yun Yazi brought seven apprentices, and there were Gu Yu, Lu Yuanqing and Gong Suran who were watching the ceremony, no outsiders were present.
Gong Suran is Cao Wenyi's disciple, who belongs to a third party, and is in charge of supervision under the orders of the Celestial Master Sa. She has been in the world for twenty years, and she has always lived in seclusion and has not had much contact with society.
Yunyazi is very complicated.
When he first came here, he was very ambitious, and he wanted to let the junior Jiang feel the power of the elders. The initial stage was really good, the faction was established in one year, the gods were re-established, and the tiger occupied Qiuchi Mountain in the south of Longnan, known as the third pole of the Xia Kingdom.
The original intention was to rise rapidly and crush with momentum, but it turned out that the water after thousands of years was too deep!
First of all, the government has not fallen and is very strong, maintaining effective administrative, military and judicial powers. No matter how popular the Shenxiao faction is, they have to obediently go to the capital to report and register—the Qiuchi mountain is a state-owned mountain forest, and as soon as you come from outside, black households occupy it, so you want to rebel
Secondly, the territory has already been divided up, with Phoenix Mountain and the Taoist Temple as the leaders, leading the cultivation forces in the whole world. The Shenxiao faction hastily intervened. Although a large number of people were gathered in the middle and early stages, the level of trust between the government and the people was far worse after all.
More importantly, the two giants Gu Yu and Lu Yuanqing are very unimpressed with Tianshi Sa!
So Yun Yazi gradually realized that it was impossible for the Shenxiao faction to return to its peak status in the Song Dynasty. Later, I accepted the reality and gave up some ambitions.
Everyone came here early in the morning, and after waiting for a while, they saw a red sun leaping from the horizon. Perhaps because of being on an island, the sun is unprecedentedly majestic, and the sun is also particularly dazzling.
Seeing that the time had come, Gong Suran stood up and went to the stage, saying: "Cultivation all over the world has the same root and origin. It is only because later generations think more and do more that they cause many disputes. Xuanhuang, God The grievances between the two factions have been going on for a long time, and have lasted for thousands of years. Finally, according to the order of the celestial master, each walks in the world for twenty years, and they will decide the outcome..."
She said something blah blah blah, but Gu Yu didn't listen at all, just staring at a certain figure next to Xiao Zhai in a daze.
Hey, the little senior sister has grown up again, and she is finally an adult... That Taoist robe is not bad, it fits well, and has a good bearing, and it looks more and more like it, but why is the hair not tied up? The hair is still black and long and straight...
When you stare at the little senior sister, the little senior sister is also staring at you.
Gu Yu looked at it, and suddenly saw Gu Xiaofei's gaze turned and touched him. He twitched vigorously, and then became dull, thinking that he had revealed his secrets, but the other party glanced at him, and twisted back blankly.
"Master!"
"Um?"
"Well, is that Gu Zhenren?"
The little senior sister pointed to a guy in front of the high platform, it was the first time she had seen him.
"Yes what's the matter?"
"not too good."
"Why not?"
"It's an indescribable feeling, but I don't like it anyway."
Gu Xiaofei glanced at it again, and said in a low voice: "Realist Lu is not bad, he is a fairy."
"Heh, you have a good eye, it's not in vain for my usual teaching."
Xiao Zhai rubbed his disciple's head, which was almost the same as stroking a cat.
And over there, Gong Suran finished the opening, and then announced the rules.
It's not two-to-two battles and seven games, but each side sends one person first, and if they lose, they will go to the second one, and if they lose, they will go to the third one, until the opponent also loses and changes...
Have you ever played King of Fighters? Eh, that's it.
Therefore, the starting order is very important. If it is too weak, it is equal to giving away the head, and if it is too strong, it is equal to directly dumping the king bomb.
After the announcement was over, Xiao Zhai and Yun Yazi also jumped onto the viewing platform, leaving only the two disciples to deal with it themselves. Fang Yuan weighed it for a moment, and said, "Senior sister, how about letting Xiao Bu take part in the first round?"
The elder sister and the second brother belong to the first echelon, the third and fourth rank in the middle, and the fifth, sixth, and seventh are at the bottom.
Gu Xiaofei thought for a while, nodded and said: "Okay, Xiao Bu goes first. If the opponent is weak, win as soon as possible, and don't hold back; if the opponent is too strong, try to consume the opponent as much as possible and force out his hole cards; if it is difficult to distinguish, Just output accurately and try to preserve mana."
"clear!"
Qing Buzi changed his usual hippie smile, and rarely became serious.
"The candidates for both parties have been confirmed, and the first match begins!"
As soon as Gong Suran finished speaking, Qing Buzi jumped onto the high platform, and saw that the other party was a male disciple of similar age, with a thin figure and clear eyes.
"My servant, Yan Rensong, has met fellow Taoist!"
"Yan Rensong?"
Qing Buzi thought for a moment, but he didn't have any impression, there was no way, Shenxiao sent too many disciples.
"Fellow daoists are invited!"
"please!"
The two of them clasped their fists together, and they flew back ten feet in unison, and the competition officially began.
…
Both Bashan and Shenxiao focus on thunder, the former is contained in the sword, and the latter is contained in the talisman.
The internal method of the Bashan school is to first practice Qi Jue, to achieve postnatal consummation; then to practice Yinlei Jue, to reach immortality;
In swordsmanship, first practice the willow sword in the wind dance, so that the sword energy can be released; then practice the five thunders rushing to the sky sword, and draw the five thunders to attach to the sword; after the immortal, the five thunders are harmonious, and the sword can be discarded.
Of course, personal habits are different, and fighting styles are also different.
Qing Buzi stared at Yan Rensong, who was thirty feet away, with empty hands, suddenly grabbed the air, purple lightning thundered in his palm, and he released it violently.
Chi Chi Chi!
Several lightning spears broke through the void, like a few purple shooting stars, covering Yan Rensong in the blink of an eye.
The spear pierced through the phantom and hit the ground fiercely. Rocks and clouds collapsed, and the high platform collapsed. A single encounter destroyed most of it. Qing Buzi didn't see the opponent's figure, and was waiting to search, suddenly felt a chill from the bottom of his heart, and quickly used his escape method to jump forward.
boom!
The moment he left, a large circular hole had been blown out in place, and Yan Rensong was still missing.
"This guy has the art of hiding!"
Qing Buzi snorted coldly, waved his hands again and again, countless thunderballs the size of coins floated on the field, collided with each other, and instantly connected into a vast net.
The purple grid kept tightening in the void, and suddenly trembled, forcing out a vague figure.
Before this person fully appeared, a red snake with two wings leaped out from the void again, and opened its bloody mouth behind him.
"go!"
Yan Rensong did not advance but retreated, and finally threw out the first talisman, the purple light exploded and enveloped his whole body, his whole body turned into a thunderbolt, rushed through the big net, and rushed straight towards the red snake.
"receive!"
Qing Buzi saw that it was fierce, and he didn't want his pet to be injured, so he quickly recalled the big snake.
In just a few breaths, the two of them have met several times, and they have judged each other's strength, and they are really close to each other. This kind of wheel battle is the most feared. It can't tell the winner for a long time, and the consumption is still too high.
"That's all!"
Yan Rensong's brain was spinning, thinking about the strategy against the enemy, but finally gave up all of them, and still had to fight hard. He stretched out his right hand suddenly, and dozens of talismans emerged out of thin air, intertwined with each other, becoming thinner and thinner, and finally formed a slender sword.
This sword is not refined from ore, it is entirely composed of talismans, and the purple grass is hidden inside and outside, emitting a cold light, exuding a fierce and powerful aura.
"Hmph, Taibai dog!"
Seeing his blue and white Taoist robe, Qing Buzi couldn't help curling his lips, and stretched out his hands, making a weird gesture. With Yin in one hand and Yang in the other, five thunders are held in his arms, his breath is vigorous, and he is as immovable as a mountain.
"..."
Gu Yu and Lu Yuanqing looked at each other, and both felt that the idea was novel and interesting.
Xiao Zhai frowned and said, "When did he get this thing?"
"A few years ago, I studied it by myself. It is said that it imitated the two qi of life and death of the elder sister, and accumulated the five thunders in yin and yang. It can be attacked when it advances, and it can be defended when it is retreated. Therefore, it is invincible." Shui Lanshao said with a dry smile.
"invincible position?"
Xiao Zhai knew it well, and said: "He has always been timid, nothing else matters, but his life-saving skills are solid."
"whee!"
What else can Shui Lanshao say, she can only show off her cuteness to make a living.
In the arena, Yan Rensong saw the opponent's strange posture, but he couldn't figure it out, so he simply cut him off.
This sword weapon is just a shape, without any sword moves. With one blow, a terrifying and raging thunder surged out crazily, and the overwhelming thunder light actually set off a purple wave, rushing away like a tidal wave.
Qing Buzi is not in a hurry, holding a watermelon in his left hand and a watermelon in his right hand, his aura is natural. The purple wave rushed forward, as if it had hit an incomparably strong dam, and then was diverted and weakened rapidly.
"Buzz!"
The monstrous purple tide was gathered by Qing Buzi and turned into a violently trembling thunder ball in his arms, and he pushed his palms outward, "Give it back to you!"
"not good!"
Yan Rensong quickly dodged, and it was as if the sky was collapsing and the ground was sinking. The remaining half of the high platform was also destroyed, and even the ground sank a few inches.
"I don't believe it!"
He was in a state of embarrassment, feeling ruthless in his heart, and tried several times in a row, but he was either resolved by the defense, or returned in full.
Ouch, this is so embarrassing! The grandson is like wearing a thick tortoise shell, oil and salt can't get in.
"..."
Xiao Zhai is already ashamed to watch, it doesn't matter whether he wins or loses, the main reason is anger. Gu Xiaofei also frowned frequently, and said in a low voice: "I'm afraid I'm going to lose!"
"How could it be, that guy can't break through at all!" Mi Beiqi said.
"If you lose your original intention, no matter how strong your defense is, it will be futile." Fang Yuan shook his head.
Boom boom boom!
In the arena, Yan Rensong almost grabbed the opponent and bombarded him indiscriminately, but unfortunately it didn't work. He was impatient in his heart, his mana was consumed rapidly, and the opponent seemed to be able to handle it with ease, and sooner or later he would be overthrown.
His mind was churning, he gritted his teeth fiercely, "Fight it!"
brush!
I saw Yan Rensong took out a silver talisman and stimulated his mana, the silver light skyrocketed and instantly enveloped the audience. In an instant, the sky was filled with dark clouds, the rising sun was ruthlessly covered, and the thunder was rolling in, reaching the top of the head in the blink of an eye.
"Hiss!"
Qing Buzi trembled, and quickly mobilized all the mana in his body. The Yin Yang and Five Thunder Qi were opened to the limit, and he raised his hands upwards.
boom!
A purple swimming dragon descended from the sky, dancing wildly, roaring, and ruthlessly pounced on the target below. Accompanied by a loud noise, a dazzling light gushed out of thin air, and a figure was knocked into the air before falling heavily to the ground.
It was Qing Buzi, whose clothes were torn and in a panic.
He tried to get up a few times, but he couldn't get up. Seeing this, Gong Suran directly judged: "In the first round, Shen Xiao wins!"
Yun Yazi showed relief on his face, and he cupped his hands at Xiaozhai, "I've accepted it!"
"You're welcome, he deserves to be beaten!"
Xiao Zhai stretched out his hand to grab it, took it close to him, and said, "Do you know what's wrong?"
"I know I was wrong!"
Qing Buzi didn't even dare to raise his head.
"What's wrong?"
"Blindly sticking to it and taking chances is contrary to Lei Fa's original intention."
"Well, you can still be saved. You always like to show off your cleverness, this time you should be taught, and go to the back to watch the battle."
"yes!"
With a pale face, Qing Buzi scrambled back behind Xiao Zhai.
…
Losing the first game is equivalent to giving up a spot. Yan Rensong is still on the court, seven against six, we must beat him down as soon as possible!
"I'll go!"
Fang Yuan didn't ask for everyone's consent, so he stepped onto the high platform with a flicker of his figure.
"Fang Yuan!"
Yan Rensong's pupils shrank suddenly. This second senior brother of the Bashan School is the shadow of a famous tree, and he is not an opponent in his prime, let alone now
In an instant, he made it clear that the tactics of focusing on defense and consuming the opponent as much as possible.
"Fellow daoists are invited!"
"please!"
As soon as the words were finished, Yan Rensong shuddered all over, and felt the opponent's figure instantly magnified in his field of vision, as if he had broken through the limits of time and space.
He only had time to release a protective shield, and at the same time cast an escape method, trying to distance himself.
But before he could move, he heard a chirp, and the layer of protection was torn off like a thin piece of paper, and he felt a pain in his chest as he saw a shooting star passing by.
puff!
A thin short sword sank half an inch into the chest, was stained with blood, and turned into thunder and dissipated into the sky. Looking up again, Fang Yuan didn't move at all, still standing in place.
"This this… "
Yan Rensong's expression ranged from disbelief, to shock and inexplicable, to helplessness, "I admire! I lost!"
"Concession!"
Fang Yuan cupped his hands.
The camps on both sides were also very surprised. They thought that Yan Rensong could resist a few moves and didn't want to be killed instantly.
"Spiritual Intent Transforming Thunder, there is no mistake, it must be Divine Intent Transforming Thunder!"
"Isn't that about to reach the threshold of immortality? Wow, I knew that the second senior brother was very strong, but I didn't expect it to be so powerful!"
"It is said that Fang Yuan is only ranked second in Bashan, so what level is Gu Xiaofei?"
For a moment, the morale of the Shenxiao faction plummeted, there was no wave in the ancient well, and there were a lot of gossip among the two or three people.
"Okay, what does it look like!"
After commotion for a while, everyone was stopped by a voice, followed by a familiar face who jumped up, but it was the one who had been looking for Phoenix with Gu Xiaofei in the South China Sea, Xia Lufei.
