【Chapter 137】First Place in the Competition
【Chapter 137】First Place in the Competition
Without any hesitation, Ye Yishen used Jin Ao Jianzun's famous skill as soon as he made a move. Wherever the Golden Rainbow Sword passed, the air seemed to be split in two, leaving behind golden sword marks.
Everyone in the audience was reluctant to blink as they watched.
After all, it was a sword move once used by Jin Ao Sword Master. Not only was it beautiful, it was also extremely powerful. When Ye Yisheng competed yesterday, they all focused on the Golden Rainbow Sword and didn't pay attention to the sword moves he used.
Yubu was not afraid at all, but laughed out loud: "Good timing!"
The Fiery Spear was swung out suddenly, and the flame on the tip of the spear suddenly surged, transforming into a fire dragon, roaring towards the Golden Rainbow Sword. The golden rainbow sword energy and the fire dragon met in the air, and suddenly a deafening roar broke out.
The two powerful forces collided with each other, stirring up layers of air waves, and even cracks appeared on the formation barrier covering the arena.
Just when everyone thought that the barrier might be broken, an elder of Tianyi Sect emitted a beam of white light. White light fell on the formation barrier, and the barrier healed at a speed visible to the naked eye.
"Junior Brother Yu is good at shooting."
"Senior Brother Ye liked it immediately."
The battle became more intense, and Ye Yishen's swordsmanship became more and more proficient. For him, Yubu is a good sparring partner. Gradually, the Golden Rainbow Sword seemed to come to life in his hand, and wherever the sword went, it was invincible.
However, Yu Bu used force to overcome the opponent's cleverness. The Fiery Spear was as heavy as a mountain in his hand. Every time he swung it, there was a loud explosion. The waves of fire were so huge that it was difficult to get close to him.
The head of the Qi family in the audience had a very ugly expression on his face. Ye Yishen did not explode and die, which meant that he had failed to accomplish what he asked Ye Mingze to do.
The two people on the ring fought back and forth, and the fight was difficult to determine.
Although Ye Yisheng's swordsmanship was fast, he was unable to find Yu Bu's weakness for a while; and although Yu Bu's Fiery Gun was extremely powerful, he could not catch Ye Yisheng's ghostly body movements.
The two sides were in a stalemate, and the audience below the ring held their breath, afraid of missing any exciting moment.
Just when everyone thought that this competition would never end, Ye Yishen suddenly changed the momentum of his sword, and the Golden Rainbow Sword drew a perfect arc in the air. Then it suddenly accelerated and turned into a beam of golden light that pierced Yu Bu's heart.
The heart is a person's fatal point. Yu Bu subconsciously wanted to protect his heart, but he turned sideways, and the Golden Rainbow Sword in Ye Yisheng's hand turned and hit his back.
As expected, Yubu fell off the ring.
There are monks behind him, so Ye Yisheng can't use up all the sword moves he knows, so he always keeps one or two moves to deal with others.
So he used this little trick.
"Junior Brother Yu, I'm grateful for your help."
"Brother Ye, when we return to Yunjue Palace, can I still challenge you to a duel?"
"sure."
"Very good."
He was clearly the loser, yet he was cheering.
The head of the Yu family held his forehead with his hand and said that he could not keep this grandson anymore. He gave away all the points and was still as happy as an idiot.
Ye Yisheng originally had only two points, but now with Yubu's four points, he had six points.
However, his score was not the highest among everyone. The highest score went to another Foundation Establishment Stage student from the Yu family.
The other party has ten points.
The referee did not let the remaining two Foundation Establishment cultivators draw lots, but instead let several Qi Refining cultivators draw lots.
The Qi Condensation cultivator who was drawn was from the Yu family, and he chose the Qi Condensation cultivator from the Qi family without any hesitation.
The two men went on stage to fight.
The fight was going on well, but the Qi Refining cultivator from the Qi family suddenly said, "Wait a minute."
The cultivator from the Yu family really stopped attacking, but as a result, he was held at neck by the sword from the cultivator from the Qi family.
The Qi family monk was very proud: "You lose."
"You are cheating." The Yu Family cultivator naturally refused to accept the result: "I stopped attacking because you said wait a moment."
The Qi family cultivator looked at the Yu family cultivator as if he was a fool: "Are you stupid? In the ring, only one side can stop attacking if they admit defeat. When I said wait, I was calling my sword. My sword says wait."
After hearing what he said, the people who originally thought that the Qi family cultivator was going too far no longer thought he was going too far and instead felt that what he said made sense.
The monk from the Yu family: “…” He suddenly felt like a fool.
The referee also concluded: "The Qi family's Qi Refining cultivator won this competition. Although this battle ended a little hastily, everyone should take it as a warning. Don't be like the Yu family cultivator when you encounter such a situation in the future."
There are still three cultivators in the Qi Refining Stage, and the cultivator from the Qi family got one. He didn't even look at Lu Yueyao, and pointed at the Ye family's Qi Refining Stage.
"I want to challenge you."
Knowing that the Qi family member was a shameless person, the Qi training cultivators of the Ye family were very cautious. Unfortunately, all the Qi family cultivators knew the moves he used and were able to break them.
As a result, the Qi family cultivator naturally won again.
Ye Chenyuan and several elders all looked unhappy. Their Ye family's unique martial arts had been known by the Qi family, and the other party had also cracked their Ye family's martial arts.
"There are only four of you now. There is no need to draw lots. Just tell us who you want to challenge."
As soon as the referee finished speaking, the Qi family cultivator raised his hand and looked at Lu Yueyao: "I want to challenge her."
Lu Yueyao said nothing and walked towards the ring.
Standing on the ring, the Qi family monk patted his chest and said proudly: "Since you are a woman, I will let you three moves."
Even though Lu Yueyao performed very well in the competition yesterday, the Qi family cultivators did not take her seriously. The head of the Qi family not only placed Ye Mingze as a spy in the Ye family, but naturally also placed spies in the Lu family.
However, the men in the Lu family not only have a wife, but also several concubines. Therefore, the Lu family has a large population, so even if a lot of people were killed, it would not affect the Lu family at all.
"That's what you said." Lu Yueyao was overjoyed. She was just looking for a quick victory, but the other party gave her the opportunity.
"My words are as good as gold." The cultivator from Qi family had no idea that danger was approaching and still spoke carelessly.
Lu Yueyao immediately attacked the Qi family cultivator. As the first test, she used the Lu family magic. The result was just as she expected. The cultivator from Qi family seemed to be able to predict and avoid the magic attack in advance.
After she had an idea in mind, she continued to use the Lu family magic.
As expected, the second move was also avoided by the Qi family cultivator.
For the last move, Lu Yueyao quickly formed seals with both hands. As the spell was completed and was about to attack the Qi family cultivator, the Qi family cultivator was ready to dodge.
As a result, after Lu Yueyao launched a magic attack, she suddenly swung out a whip. The Qi family monk dodged the magic attack but failed to dodge the whip. He was tied up by Lu Yueyao's whip and thrown off the ring.
Lu Yueyao's points increased from two points to eight points in an instant.
"Do you three want to challenge again?"
Although the referee asked three people, he was actually only looking at Ye Yishen. In his opinion, if there is someone who really wants to challenge, that person must be Ye Yishen.
As expected, Ye Yishen raised his hand, but at the same time, Lu Yueyao also raised her hand.
"Lu Yueyao, who are you going to challenge?"
Lu Yueyao looked back and forth between Ye Yisheng and the Yu family cultivator, and finally she pointed at Ye Yisheng: "I want to challenge him."
Ye Yisheng didn't expect that Nangong Chenyu would hit the nail on the head.
Without even asking the referee, he said, "I accept."
Even if he doesn't accept it now, once he defeats the cultivator from the Yu family, Lu Yueyao will challenge him as usual. But if he defeated Lu Yueyao, he wouldn't have to challenge the Yu family cultivator.
As soon as she got on the stage, Lu Yueyao took out a red whip. As the whip absorbed spiritual energy, hot flames could be seen wrapped around the whip.
Ye Yishen moved, and the Golden Rainbow Sword cut through the sky, bringing up a dazzling golden sword light and attacking Lu Yueyao directly.
With Nangong Chenyu's reminder, Ye Yisheng did not regard Lu Yueyao as a cultivator in the Qi Refining Stage, but as a cultivator in the Foundation Establishment Stage who shared the same ideas as himself.
Everyone in the audience thought that Lu Yueyao would not be able to withstand a single move and would be knocked off the stage soon. But Lu Yueyao's lips curled up into a faint smile, and she retreated lightly.
At the same time, the red whip in her hand emerged like a spirit snake from a cave, turning into a series of fiery red tracks that intertwined with the sword light of the Golden Rainbow Sword, with gold and red interweaving and dazzling.
This scene shocked everyone.
No one expected that the Lu family would be so powerful regardless of whether they were useless or not. Not only can he fight against opponents of higher levels, but he can also easily take on the sword moves from Ye Yisheng, who is in the middle stage of foundation building.
The two people on the ring continued to fight, and the sword lights and whip shadows intertwined into an impenetrable net. It makes it difficult for the onlookers to tell whether it is the sword light that cuts the whip, or the flame on the whip that burns the sword light.
Lu Yueyao's whip techniques are agile and varied. The red whip seems to have life under her control, sometimes turning into a roaring fire dragon, sometimes turning into entangled silk threads, making it impossible to defend against.
Ye Yishen discovered that the level suppression that appeared on others did not seem to exist on Lu Yueyao, as if her cultivation level was really at the Foundation Establishment Stage.
Ye Yishen did not dare to be careless with such a strange person.
Various sword moves are used in turn.
Under the highly concentrated battle, Ye Yishen felt that he and the Golden Rainbow Sword were becoming more and more in tune with each other.
When the spectators saw that the Golden Rainbow Sword could not cut the red whip in Lu Yueyao's hand, they all turned their attention to the whip.
"I don't know what material the whip in Lu Yueyao's hand is made of. The Lu family has spent a lot of money this time."
Even many people in the Lu family thought so. The elder who was close to the head of the Lu family asked directly: "Head, when did you reward that girl with such a good whip?"
The head of the Lu family was sure that his Lu family did not have such a whip, and the whip was obviously Lu Yueyao's own opportunity.
"That whip was not given by me."
"It's really not a reward from you, the head of the family?" The elder obviously didn't believe it.
The head of the Lu family said unhappily: "The Lu family doesn't have such a whip."
"It seems that girl is lucky."
The four elders from Tianyi Sect and Taihua Sect were also discussing, but the topic they were discussing was different from others.
"In this competition, the Ye family has Ye Yisheng, the Lu family has Lu Yueyao, and the Qi family has been eliminated. Who will take first place?"
"No matter who wins, my Taihua Sect will reserve Lu Yueyao as the best candidate first."
"It's too late for you to say it now. My Tianyi Sect had already made it clear with Lu Yueyao yesterday."
"As long as she hasn't officially joined your Tianyi Sect, she may choose my Taihua Sect."
“…”
Even when everyone was discussing, their eyes never left the arena.
At the beginning, Lu Yueyao was indeed evenly matched with Ye Yisheng. But a quarter of an hour later, Lu Yueyao seemed to have been beaten back to her original form. His strength is no longer comparable to that of the Foundation Establishment Stage, but has returned to the normal Qi Refining Stage.
Ye Yishen swung out the Golden Rainbow Sword, and the red sword light flashed and pierced into Lu Yueyao's body.
Not to mention that Lu Yueyao herself couldn't believe it, even Ye Yishen was a little surprised. He thought he would have to drag it out with Lu Yueyao for a while before he could win, but he didn't expect the ending to be so sudden.
If anyone else were to fight against Lu Yueyao, they would be influenced by the plot of the storybook and lose to Lu Yueyao.
However, Ye Yishen is not in Lu Yueyao's storybook. Not only is he not affected by the plot, he can also kill Lu Yueyao. Unlike before, when he tried to kill Hua Yueyi, he failed.
"Do you admit defeat?" Ye Yishen took the opportunity to put his sword against Lu Yueyao's throat.
Lu Yueyao, who fell to the ground, coughed twice and spat out a mouthful of blood.
“Poof~”
Despite this, she did not give up.
Ye Yishen was not one to show mercy to women. Seeing that the other party didn't say anything, he stabbed her with his sword again.
Lu Yueyao was so angry that her chest hurt. She didn't expect that she just threw a wink at Ye Yishen, but the other party directly stabbed her with a sword.
Originally, she was hit by a sword energy on the upper left side of her chest, and now she was hit by a sword energy on the upper right side of her chest. There was a hole on each side, and blood kept flowing out.
In a ring competition like this, the fight is usually stopped at a certain point and the opponent's life cannot be harmed.
But if she doesn't admit defeat and the referee doesn't call a stop, the competition is not over yet. She just wanted to find an opportunity to fight back, but...
Ye Yisheng knew this, and he couldn't break the rules, so he asked again as usual: "Should you admit defeat this time?"
Lu Yueyao was unwilling to admit defeat, but she was afraid that Ye Yishen would strike her with the sword again without saying a word.
However, while she was hesitating, Ye Yishen rudely hit her with another sword.
This time, the Golden Rainbow Sword stabbed her arm, and Ye Yishen was not worried at all about stabbing her to death. Lu Yueyao is a cultivator, so as long as he is not hurt in vital parts, it won’t be easy for him to die.
"You still don't want to admit defeat?" Ye Yishen asked while raising his sword.
"Give up, give up, I give up." Lu Yueyao said quickly.
She was really afraid that Ye Yishen's sword would stab her again.
Until now, she still couldn't understand why she lost.
Obviously, she should win in the end and become the biggest dark horse in this competition. The four elders of Tianyi Sect and Taihua Sect looked at her differently and offered excellent conditions, allowing her to join the sect of her choice.
Why was the ending different from what she expected?
Putting away the sword, Ye Yisheng said before Lu Yueyao could speak: "I deliberately didn't stab your leg. You can definitely get up by yourself. I will leave the ring first."
After saying that, he turned around and jumped off the ring.
Lu Yueyao, who was about to ask the other party for help, said: "..."
With Lu Yueyao's points, Ye Yishen's score naturally became the highest.
Before the referee asked him questions, the Yu family cultivator took the initiative to say that he would not challenge Ye Yishen.
Ye Yisheng won the first place as he wished, and received the Starry Sky Yuan Fruit as a reward from the elders.
But just as he got the Starry Sky Origin Fruit, Lu Yueyao stopped him and said, "Wait, Master Ye, the Starry Sky Origin Fruit is very useful to me. Can you give it up? I can give you the corresponding spirit stones."
