Yang Qi and his companion continued at a fast pace, going deeper into the passage. After a moment, the view in front of them suddenly opened up and they saw a huge open space with an arena in the center.
"fight?"
Yang Qi's eyes fell on a stone tablet on the ring, his brows raised, thinking to himself, is this going to be a ring battle
"Is this a ring fight?" Yang Qi looked at Pang Xuan on the side and asked.
"ignorance!"
Before Pang Xuan could reply, Emperor Qian He, who was not far away, sneered and said slowly, "This is called fighting insects. It is not a simple ring battle. The opponent is an insect beast!"
"Is there any difference?" Yang Qi said lightly.
To Yang Qi, it makes no difference whether the opponent is an insect beast or a cultivator; it is just a battle in the ring.
"For ordinary practitioners, this is indeed a ring battle, but for practitioners of the insect and beast paths, this kind of ring battle mainly relies on the combat between insects and beasts." Pang Xuan on the side explained.
Next to Emperor Qianhe, a cultivator sneered and said, "Now you know, right?"
"For me, it's still the same." Yang Qi said calmly.
This ring battle has special requirements for the practitioners of the insect and beast path, but Yang Qi is not a practitioner of the insect and beast path at all, so to him it is still just a ring battle.
"you… "
The cultivator became furious upon hearing this, but he overlooked the fact that Yang Qi was not a cultivator of the insect and beast sect.
“Junior Brother Leng, you go up to the fighting arena first and let him see it for himself.” Emperor Qianhe said calmly.
"yes!"
The cultivator nodded, glanced at Yang Qi, then flashed and rushed directly onto the stage.
Buzz~
As the cultivator appeared on the stage, ripples immediately appeared around the stage, and then a huge light curtain covered the stage.
At the moment the light curtain appeared, a shadow of an insect appeared in front of the cultivator. It was an unknown insect beast. After the insect beast appeared, a stream of light also flew out from the cultivator's body. It was the Martial Emperor Realm insect beast on the cultivator's body.
Whoosh~ Whoosh~
As soon as the two insect beasts appeared, they immediately turned into two streams of light and killed each other, while the cultivator coordinated with his own insect beast to attack together.
Looking at the insects and beasts fighting on the ring, the cultivator became secondary. Yang Qi's eyes focused and he thought to himself, "A battle dominated by insects and beasts?"
Although for the practitioners of the Insect Beast Path, insect beasts are their strongest weapons, and they often use insect beasts to fight the enemy in battle, the strength of the practitioners themselves cannot be ignored. In ordinary battles, the insect beasts assist the practitioners, but now it is completely the other way around, the practitioners assist the insect beasts in battle.
Emperor Qianhe looked at the silent Yang Qi and said with a cold smile, "Now you know what fighting insects are, right?"
“It’s indeed a little different from what I thought!”
Yang Qi nodded slightly, and continued, "I hope your Junior Brother Leng can win."
"Of course!"
Emperor Qianhe snorted coldly. He was not completely sure whether Leng Zhe could win.
After all, this is a fight between insects. The most important thing is the comprehension of the insects and beasts as well as the practitioners. The strength of the practitioners themselves is secondary. If the competition is about the strength of the practitioners in cooperating with the insects and beasts, Emperor Qianhe is absolutely sure that Leng Zhe can win.
On the ring, Leng Zhe cooperated with the insect beast to attack, but was still at a disadvantage. The insect beast on the opposite side was obviously stronger, and Leng Zhe's insect beast was almost suppressed. Even with Leng Zhe's cooperation, nothing could be changed.
Bang!
There was a muffled bang on the ring, and Leng Zhe and his insect beast flew out of the ring and fell under the ring.
"hateful!"
Emperor Qianhe's face was extremely ugly. He had just told Yang Qi that Leng Zhe could win, but in the blink of an eye, Leng Zhe was defeated. One can imagine how depressed he was.
In fact, this is not Leng Zhe's fault. The three of Emperor Qianhe used trickery to increase the number of places in disguise and entered the Wanxian Mansion. The strength of the insect beasts on their bodies is completely inferior to the original insect beasts. Even if their own understanding of insect beasts remains unchanged, they are still at a disadvantage in the battle of fighting insects.
Leng Zhe's defeat made another Martial Emperor a little hesitant. After all, his insect beast was not stronger than Leng Zhe, and even if he took action, he might not win.
Seeing that Emperor Qianhe and the other two were not taking any action, Pang Xuan moved and flew onto the stage.
Compared with Emperor Qianhe and his two companions, Pang Xuan had the upper hand from the very beginning. After all, he did not use any tricks to get a spot. The green beetle itself was a one-star Martial Emperor-level insect beast.
In addition, the green beetles were insect beasts that Pang Xuan had cultivated along the way, so they cooperated with each other even more tacitly. After fighting for less than half an incense stick of time, Pang Xuan easily won.
“Damn it!”
Seeing Pang Xuan returning victorious, Emperor Qianhe's face suddenly darkened. With his keen eyesight, he could see that Pang Xuan's victory had a lot to do with the insect beast in his hand. However, the insect beasts in the hands of the three of them had all used secret methods to break through to the Martial Emperor realm, and in this regard, they were inherently at a disadvantage.
"I'll do it!"
The cultivator beside Emperor Qianhe flashed and flew to the arena, and the insect fight began again.
This person's strength was slightly stronger than Leng Zhe's. With the help of the insect beast in his hand, he was able to fight the insect beast on equal terms with the opposite side. The two sides fought for more than an incense stick of time before the cultivator won by chance.
Yang Qi was not a cultivator of the insect and beast fighting method, so he was somewhat confused about this kind of insect fighting method. After the cultivator left the stage, he flashed and rushed onto the stage.
Buzz~
A light curtain enveloped, and not far away, a shadow of an insect condensed. A powerful aura burst out from the insect shadow, a mid-stage One-Star Martial Emperor.
"So weak?"
Feeling the momentum bursting out from the insect beast, Yang Qi couldn't help but be slightly stunned.
If the insect beasts faced by Leng Zhe and others before were of the same level of cultivation as themselves, with the help of the insect beasts, their chances of winning should have been quite good, and they would not have been caught in such a difficult battle.
Yang Qi's eyes narrowed, and a thought flashed through his mind, "It seems that the opponents faced by ordinary practitioners are different from those faced by practitioners of insect beasts."
Whoosh~
Just as Yang Qi was thinking, the insect beast in the void moved, turned into a stream of light, and killed towards Yang Qi.
"Destroy!"
Facing the killing insect beast, Yang Qi shook the Black Phoenix Sword in his hand, and a light gray sword light burst out from his hand and directly slashed towards the killing insect beast.
Poof!
The sword light fell and directly pierced through the insect beast's body, and the remaining power blew the insect beast away.
Seeing Yang Qi injure his opponent with just one sword, Emperor Qianhe's eyes flashed with a sharp light, and he said with a cold smile, "It's really easy to be an opponent of ordinary practitioners!"
Just as Yang Qi said, for ordinary practitioners, this is just a ring battle with insect beasts as their opponents. Compared with practitioners who follow the path of insect beasts, the difficulty is undoubtedly much lower. (To be continued)
