Chapter 102 The Strange Use of Escape Techniques
Hong Chang suppressed her tiredness and tried hard to put on an appreciative expression.
There was no way. In her opinion, the battle between the foundation-building players in Ganzhou was no different from throwing mud at each other. Only the Eight Desolate inheritance used by Miao Qianqian surprised her.
But as a Taoist envoy, she must maintain the image of Taoism that cares for every sect in the eyes of the monks.
However, the elders of Qingshan Sect did not hide their feelings at all. They set up two mahjong tables and played mahjong, which made her want to stand by and watch the game several times.
At this moment, all the elders of Qingshan Sect suddenly stood up in unison, with their hands behind their backs, and began to point fingers at the skills of each foundation-building cultivator. They also analyzed the skills used by the contestants and their favorite fighting styles.
The diligent and responsible looks of the judges caught Hong Chang off guard. She quickly looked towards the arena of the Foundation Establishment Group, but after looking around, she didn't see any cultivator worthy of attention except Miao Qianqian and the man in the black robe.
Was it because he noticed that she was using her spiritual sense to watch them play mahjong?
Hong Chang muttered a few words to herself before forcing herself to perk up and continue watching the boring fight on the foundation-building arena.
At this time, Li Yanmo also met his first opponent, the leader of the Liedi Sect, who was in the late foundation building stage.
"This person is a descendant of the Earth Splitting Sect's leader, Tu. He mainly practices earth magic and has mastered the art of escaping. His main fighting method is to use the art of escaping into the ground first, set up a large formation underground, and use the elusive art of escaping to play tricks with the formation to reduce the enemy's energy."
"But he lacks offensive means. As long as the terrain is destroyed so that he can't set up a large formation, he will be just a dwarf who is good at running away."
Tu Zisun originally thought that Li Yanmo was very young and planned to catch Li Yanmo off guard by relying on the intelligence gap. However, he did not expect that the first and second elders of Qingshan Sect sang the same tune and not only exposed his fighting style, but also told him the solution.
Li Yanmo suddenly realized, smiled brilliantly and raised his hand in the direction of Tu Zisun, "Senior, please give me some advice."
Tu Zisun was silent for a moment, then he put his hands behind his back and sneered, "That was a long time ago. I have been practicing escape techniques for many years and have already figured out how to attack with escape techniques. It's a pity that I can't stop. Young man, are you sure you want to fight me?"
"Senior, please——"
Li Yanmo grinned.
"Humph - if that's the case, don't blame me for being merciless!"
Tu Zisun snorted coldly, and the spiritual energy of heaven and earth around him shook. In an instant, he fell to the ground and disappeared without a trace.
Li Yanmo immediately raised his foot and stepped down, causing the wind spiritual power to pour into the ground along the crack. With a scream of pain, the Earth Descendants who were holding the props for setting up the formation were blown out on the spot. However, what surprised Li Yanmo was that the Earth Descendants were blown out instead of breaking the ground.
Out of curiosity, Li Yanmo did not chase after him, but stared at Tu Zisun, wanting to see how Tu Zisun performed his escape technique.
The Earth Descendant who was blown out staggered back a few steps, feeling embarrassed and angry, "Young man, you have no martial ethics. I wanted to give you a decent defeat, but now that things have come to this, I won't stop!"
As he spoke, Tu Zisun sank into the ground at an even faster speed. This time, Li Yanmo could see clearly that he was far away.
The descendants of earth attracted the spiritual energy of heaven and earth, and covered their entire bodies with the spiritual energy of heaven, earth and earth. The spiritual energy of earth entered the land just like a drop of water entering the ocean, and this escape technique made use of this principle. As for how deep one can escape, it seems to be related to the spiritual energy of heaven, earth and earth that was attracted.
Just as Li Yanmo was thinking, the ground under his feet suddenly shook, and a figure emerged from the ground like a rocket and went straight to Li Yanmo's chin. Li Yanmo was surprised and used the power of "Sui Xin Blow" to fly into the air on the spot, avoiding the scary blow while also seeing the true form of the attacker clearly.
It was the Descendant of Earth who was ejected, but at this time he was covered with ordinary spiritual energy of heaven and earth.
Seeing that his attack missed, Tu Zisun let out a sigh, and his whole body was once again covered by the spiritual energy of heaven and earth. He turned around and drilled into the ground.
"The fighting style of these Tu descendants is too despicable," Lin Tian, the great elder of Qingshan Sect, could not help but complain.
“That’s right!”
Li Yanmo sat cross-legged in mid-air, staring at the ground, his eyes flickering, "After releasing the escape technique, if you immediately cover your entire body with the spiritual energy of heaven and earth, it will be naturally expelled. The power and depth of the ejection are related to the concentration of the spiritual energy of heaven and earth that covers it."
Because Li Yanmo was taking so long to come down, the Tu Zisun who had been hiding underground had no choice but to come out and said, "Young man, do you want to fight or not? If you can't break my move, just surrender. Why waste time like this?"
"...Old sir, I seem to have learned the art of escape as well. How about we compete with each other using the attacking method of escape?"
Li Yanmo had some speculations, but still needed to try.
"Oh? You actually know the method of attacking with the escape technique? Then I really want to see it! Boy, don't dodge!"
Tu Zisun laughed, turned around and disappeared into the ground.
After a few breaths, the ground shook, and a figure with a white impact rushed straight towards Li Yanmo. This time, Li Yanmo had no intention of dodging. He took the initiative to fight back and punched Tu Zisun.
The two sides collided, and the strong wind pressure blew Li Yanmo upwards for dozens of meters, but Tu Zisun himself was unharmed.
Tu Zisun was stunned at first, then burst into laughter, "Young man, what kind of attack method is this? How come you don't have any..."
Before he finished speaking, Tu Zisun's feet had already landed on the ground, but he did not feel the ground at all. Instead, he was as if standing on an abyss and was dragged into the ground by a terrifying suction force, and fell at a very fast speed.
“It hurts—”
The wind whistled in his ears, and Tu Zisun looked up in confusion, only to see the black iron chain getting farther and farther away.
He had seen this view a few hours ago when he was waiting in line to board the Sky Island.
"Um!?"
Only then did the Earth Descendants discover that they had fallen from the sky island, and their bodies were filled with the rich spiritual energy of heaven, earth and earth.
He was... being used in an escaping technique! ?
“Uhhhhhh—”
On the sky island, the elders of Qingshan Sect including Hongshang looked at Li Yanmo who was landing leisurely with subtle expressions.
“That descendant of the earth… seems to have overused his escape technique and fell off the sky island by himself?” The Sixth Elder scratched his face with a subtle expression.
“Although Tu Zisun’s cultivation is average, his escape technique is first-rate and he would never make such a low-level mistake. It’s Li Ke - this young man has covered Tu Zisun with a very rich spiritual energy of heaven and earth,” Liu Wuchang, a cultivator of the Divine Transformation Realm, saw the principle and analyzed it.
“It’s a bit of an idea, but it’s not very practical.”
Hong Chang suddenly lost interest.
Because Lin Tian announced that Tu Zisun had lost, someone else came up to challenge him.
The one who came up this time was a physical cultivator, with tendon muscles all over his body.
"I am an honest man and I don't know any magic. Brother, feel free to use whatever tricks you have. I can break all the magic with my own strength!"
Seeing that the physical cultivator was so confident, Li Yanmo continued to try out the new skills he had just realized and exchanged punches with the physical cultivator.
The physical cultivator was swallowed up by the earth on the spot and disappeared without a trace.
The corner of Hong Chang's mouth twitched slightly.
"It might be effective against... ordinary cultivators."
