Although most of the practitioners used secret methods to resist, there were a few people among the twenty or so people who did not use secret methods to resist. These people were Yang Qi, Yan Feng and Song Yuyan from the Moon God Palace. In addition, there were two practitioners from the Shenwu Continent, and the last one was a bald man.
However, among the crowd, except for Yang Qi and Song Yuyan who were relatively relaxed, the others were a little embarrassed in resisting the attack of five whip shadows.
"He was able to withstand five whip shadows without even using any secret techniques?"
Seeing this scene, many practitioners' faces changed. Before, when everyone was acting together, many practitioners knew that it was hopeless and secretly hid their strength. But now that they were fighting for the Bodhi seeds, it was meaningless to hide their strength. Therefore, after seeing that Yang Qi had such a strong strength, even those practitioners in the middle stage of the Eight-Star Martial Honor were moved.
Ji Shan glanced in Yang Qi's direction and chuckled, "Brother Lu, now I believe what you said."
"Hmph~"
Hearing this, Lu Yan snorted coldly and continued, "He is just relying on his strong body to resist these whip shadows head-on. The practitioners with high achievements in body refining have taken a lot of advantages!"
Although the fight for the Bodhi seed mainly depends on speed, it is not good if the ability to protect one's life is poor. After all, even Wang Yu was attacked by the whip shadow when he got the Bodhi seed, and the possibility of others being attacked is even greater. If there is no powerful means of protecting one's life, when facing the nine whip shadows, it is very likely that one will perish here!
Practitioners of the body-refining school are good at preserving their lives, so they will have some advantages when competing for Bodhi seeds!
Ji Shan just smiled when he heard this, but he didn't say much. Although the practitioners of the body-refining school would have some advantages, the advantages they could have were limited. In the fight for the bodhi seeds, it was more about the comprehensive strength, speed, combat power, and means of survival of the practitioners, none of which could be missing.
Needless to say, speed was essential. Even Wang Yu had to rely on speed to seize the Bodhi seeds, and they were even more so. As for combat power, if the combat power was not enough, they could only burst out speed in advance, which greatly reduced the advantage of speed. The last means of saving life was even more critical. The practitioner who rushed to the front almost died just now, which was the best proof.
"Yang Qi..."
Li Yi glanced in the direction of Yang Qi, and a hint of deep fear appeared in the depths of his eyes. With the strength Yang Qi showed now, he was not sure he could defeat him.
"rush!"
Almost in an instant, the remaining twenty or so people rushed towards the Bodhi tree in unison. Even Yang Qi and others who had not performed any secret techniques performed such techniques at this moment.
Under the secret method, Yang Qi, Song Yuyan, and an eight-star mid-stage martial arts practitioner from the Shenwu Continent rushed to the front of the team.
Whoosh~ Whoosh~
In the blink of an eye, Yang Qi and the other two were only ten feet away from the Bodhi tree. At the same time, a sky full of whip shadows attacked them, and there were nine whip shadows attacking each of them.
"Can it be done?"
When the practitioners on the periphery saw this scene, they suddenly became nervous. Yang Qi and the other two were strong enough and fast enough. If they could not succeed, the possibility of others succeeding would undoubtedly be even lower!
"It's done!"
Wang Yu's eyes focused. With his keen eyesight, he could see that Yang Qi and the other two had plenty of time to seize the Bodhi seed. They only needed to withstand the attack of the nine whip shadows to get the Bodhi seed.
Although the nine whip shadows were powerful, if Wang Yu did not use the secret technique, he would at most be in a state of embarrassment. A practitioner of Song Yuyan's level would at most be injured if he used the secret technique, and the possibility of death was not great.
"Um?"
Suddenly, Wang Yu raised his eyebrows, a playful smile appeared on his face, and he murmured, "This is interesting!"
Wow~
Yang Qi's gaze fell on the purple light flashing in the green leaves. His eyes lit up, his hand trembled, and a strand of Yuanli directly grabbed a Bodhi seed!
"Yang Qi, be careful!"
At this moment, a loud shout suddenly came into Yang Qi's ears.
"Um?"
Yang Qi was stunned and wondered when he suddenly felt two sharp and violent powers attacking him from behind. He turned his head and saw that Lu Yan and Ji Shan had approached him at some point, and it was Lu Yan and Ji Shan who attacked him.
"Yang Qi, prepare to die!" Lu Yan said with a grim smile.
"Break it for me!"
Facing the two incoming attacks, Yang Qi hurriedly mobilized the energy and physical strength in his body and burst out with all his strength. The power of the Qinghong Sword in his hand was directly activated, and a huge sword light blocked the two incoming attacks.
Boom!
In an instant, three sharp and violent attacks collided with each other, a terrifying loud noise exploded, and an invisible force storm swept over.
"This is… "
Yang Qi blocked the attacks of Lu Yan and the other man with one sword, but he was slightly stunned, because the attacks of the two did not contain that kind of fierce power, but contained terrifying force.
"Oh no~"
Yang Qi's face suddenly changed, and he let out a low cry. Then, under the impact of the terrifying force, he flew backwards towards the Bodhi tree!
"Yang Qi!"
Seeing this scene, the faces of Chu Hong and others changed drastically. At this moment, even they understood the intentions of Lu Yan and the others. Lu Yan and the others did not intend to kill Yang Qi personally, but planned to kill Yang Qi with the help of the Enlightenment Tree.
"this… "
This sudden scene dumbfounded many practitioners present. No one had expected that two practitioners in the middle stage of eight-star Martial Honor would be so shameless as to team up to launch a sneak attack on a practitioner in the peak stage of seven-star Martial Honor.
"What a pity. But it's better this way. I don't have to do it myself." Looking at Yang Qi flying backwards towards the Enlightenment Tree, a smile appeared on Li Yi's face.
With his current strength, he was not sure of dealing with Yang Qi. Now that Lu Yan and Ji Shan were involved, even if Yang Qi survived, the grudge between the three of them would never be resolved. With two powerful enemies like these, it would be much easier for Li Yi to deal with Yang Qi.
"Lu Yan!"
Yan Feng roared angrily. Yang Qi was his ally and a partner who was as strong as him. However, he was attacked by Lu Yan and the other man, and he had no ability to help Yang Qi. How could he not be angry!
All this happened in the blink of an eye. Yang Qi, who flew backwards, was immediately covered by the nine whip shadows.
"Stop it for me!"
Facing the nine incoming whip shadows, Yang Qi frantically urged the energy in his body to fully unleash his physical strength, and kept waving the long sword in his hand, trying to block the incoming whip shadows.
Bang! Bang!
Nine whip shadows fell, and a series of muffled explosions occurred. Yang Qi's figure was directly whipped away by the whip shadows, and a stream of blood spurted out of his mouth. Then his figure disappeared into the emerald green leaves of the Enlightenment Tree! (To be continued)
