When these words were spoken, everyone was shocked.
One man against five? Seriously? The last person to receive this treatment was that giant spider.
Judging from Ji Rongxue's expression, it seemed that she was serious.
Although this person seems cold and sullen, she is as arrogant and conceited as Qi Zhiye, and her strength is also worthy of him.
Ji Rongxue was serious. Yun Xian couldn't possibly agree to this. Xiao Wu would probably come over at night to spank her. So, in the silence, Yun Xian said firmly, "Fellow Daoist Ji, even I wouldn't do such a thing."
Five people fighting one, what's the difference between that and a gang fight? It's despicable.
"Really?" Ji Rongxue was not surprised. "You have guts."
Yun Xian turned around and beckoned, "Lingshan, just come with me."
Everyone: “?”
You really are.
Some backbone, but not much, right?
"Just kidding. Hahaha." Yun Xian made a joke that wasn't funny at all, scratching his head and saying, "Fellow Daoist Ji, I'd appreciate it if you could show some mercy."
"When it comes to me, it's not 'showing mercy,'" Ji Rongxue said, curling his lips. "It should be 'showing mercy,'"
Yun Xian: “…………”
Everyone: “…………”
The already tense atmosphere froze in an instant. Miss Ji killed the competition and successfully created a world of ice and snow with her extremely bad puns.
The silence lasted, absurdly long.
The competition was about to begin. The disciples of the Body Strengthening Sect retreated fifteen steps together, creating a blank area on the ring surrounding the two people in the center. Seeing this, Xue Lingxiu also waved his hand, signaling everyone to retreat.
He frowned slightly, unable to help but worry.
Ji Rongxue could fight Liu Shi and win seven out of ten times. To say they were of similar strength was an understatement; he was clearly a notch above Liu Shi. Furthermore, they were completely clueless about Ji Rongxue's methods and moves.
But Yun Xian...
The ninth level of the Golden Core and the half-step Nascent Soul seemed only half a level apart, but they truly had no confidence. The two sects in the Northern Realm were infinitely richer than the Eastern Realm, with countless natural treasures piling up. Furthermore, Yun Xian was so unreliable. The scene of killing the spider had been a chaotic one, leaving everyone on edge. It was hard to believe she was capable of fighting alone.
The dragon slayer eventually becomes the evil dragon. Yun Xian unknowingly learned the first rule of Zhong Changyao's pretense and improved it - as long as no one has any expectations of her, then everything she does will be a surprise.
Yun Xian was also in a state of anxiety at this moment. His face was solemn and he was frantically recalling the sword manual in his mind.
The last time when he lied to Liu Shi, what he said was half true and half false. The Heaven Grade Kung Fu Light Swallow Points Manual was true, and it was also true that he did not know the Swallow Revolving Eighteen. However, Yun Lang did not teach him that. Yun Xian learned it by himself. When the Sect Leader was about to teach the first move, Yun Xian had already learned the seventeenth move.
As for the last move, he couldn't perform it no matter what he did, and the sword technique failed halfway through.
Yun Xian was studying hard when he heard Xue Lingxiu's faint voice: "If you can't win, give her the jade seal."
"I know. But practicing is also good." Yun Xian also sent a message back, "Brother Xue, do you know what method the eldest lady is practicing? I'll make some preparations."
Xue Lingxiu replied briefly: "Lion."
"It's the king of beasts. No wonder it scares people." Yun Xian started to chatter: "A lion that bites doesn't roar. Brother Xue, don't bother me. The fight is about to start."
Xue Lingxiu: "…………" What do you mean by interference? It's rare for him to show some concern. And lions will bite people whether they bark or not!
In any case, the competition is about to begin.
The wind blew the yellow sand, and scattered bits of it landed on Yun Xian's black hair. She slowly raised her sword, pointed her finger at Ji Rongxue, and said in a deep voice, "Then, please surrender."
Ji Rongxue smiled slightly at last, and then Yun Xian watched her arm begin to transform.
The lion's flexible texture gradually covered her entire arm. The muscles swelled, the nails lengthened, and it was ready to move. Yun Xian estimated the size difference between the lion's claws and her head from a distance and found that they were about the same.
A ruthless man who doesn't talk much, Ji Rongxue flashed forward, bringing with him a powerful gust of wind, and hit the man on the head as soon as he arrived!
Not good! Yun Xian was stunned!
This made her previous comparison seem meaningless! Because intuitively speaking, the claws were much bigger than her head!
The tip of the sword touched the ground, Yun Xian tiptoed and rolled to the right nimbly to avoid it, but before he could steady himself, a whistling gust of wind followed again.
Ji Rongxue is extremely strong, but her speed is actually slightly inferior to Yun Xian. The reason she can be so precise is due to her instinctive judgment in a split second.
For example, now, she could conclude from the last spider battle that Yun Xian’s next move should be to find a way to get behind him—
really.
A shadow of Yi Hua flashed before Yun Xian's eyes, and then his hair fell. After he reacted, he felt a burning pain on the side of his face, and blood slowly flowed down.
He got injured right at the start, that's too fast.
Yun Xian wiped the blood with his fingertips and bared his teeth: "Amazing."
"If you say stop, I will stop." Ji Rongxue said slowly, "You are very fast. Just use your advantage and make sure I can't see through your actions."
Yun Xian was a little embarrassed: "Why does it come with martial arts guidance?"
Ji Rongxue: "Come."
"Okay." Yun Xian took a quick look at the surrounding terrain and said, "Come on!"
The sword edge collided with the sharp claws, making a teeth-grinding metallic sound. Yun Xian raised his sword horizontally, subconsciously wanting to pass through to the right, but suddenly stopped.
At this split second, his shoulder was injured again.
Ji Rongxue pointed at her: "You've hesitated for too long."
Yun Xian howled, "...Look at the sword! Look at the sword!"
I don't know how good his swordsmanship is, but he is really noisy.
Dozens of moves passed in a flash, and the initial stumbling and immaturity slowly faded, gradually establishing a momentum of back-and-forth. Yun Xian's talent was already quite good, and at first Ji Rongxue seemed to be deliberately feeding him moves, but now he was like a fish in water, performing Swallow Spin from one to fourteen, and even slightly surpassing Ji Rongxue.
Qiao Lingshan was extremely anxious in the back. Now that the target was different, she couldn't say anything like "cutting off the bottom lane" or "monkey stealing peaches" anymore. She was a little puzzled: "When did Yun Xian become so strong?"
"He's not that strong." Qi Zhiye said solemnly, "It's just that Ji Rongxue's current strength is not enough."
When it comes to martial arts, this peacock has become much more patient and knows how to speak nicely. "If she were at her current level, she wouldn't be able to defeat Liu Shi at all."
Xue Lingxiu: "What do you think Yun Xian's chances of winning are?"
"Zero." Qi Zhiye thought he had asked a stupid question and said with disdain, "Even if I can beat her, she will lose. This jade seal will definitely be handed over to the Body Refining Sect. Humph, do you think I can't see it?"
Feng Ye was stunned: "Ah? There is such a thing?"
Qiao Lingshan: “…”
Yun Xian also sensed something was amiss. The pressure wasn't strong, and her movements even seemed a bit slow. Unsure of what Ji Rongxue was doing, she leaped into the air, her hands forming sword gestures. Several spiritual sword shadows slowly formed, but within a split second, they were interrupted.
The shadow shattered, and Ji Rongxue stood in the middle, slowly retracting his legs.
She seemed to have released some restrictions. Except for that arm, golden light began to appear on her body. Her black pupils gradually turned amber, and her expression slowly turned cold.
In Yiyunxian's opinion, he suddenly became not so kind.
Sure enough, once the restriction was lifted, Ji Rongxue's speed and strength increased again. Yun Xian couldn't dodge in time and was almost slammed into the ground by a claw, unable to get out. With sweat on his forehead, he finally felt a little relieved.
Until now, Yun Xian could still deal with her, press her step by step, and even find opportunities to inflict some wounds on her. However, as the competition dragged on, Ji Rongxue's energy increased instead of decreased. Compared with the beginning, her momentum was much higher, and her attacks were much more ruthless.
Yun Xian narrowly avoided her claws for the third time, then swiftly slashed the hilt of his sword back at her collarbone. It was close to her chest, a perfect spot. A hit wouldn't cause significant damage, but it would cause anyone to experience a momentary, uncontrollable pain. However, Ji Rongxue, struck directly, didn't retreat a single step, continuing to charge forward. Her expression remained unchanged, a chilling indifference that was unsettling, as if she felt no pain at all.
The big furry claw that had begun to grow fur wildly continued to enlarge in Yun Xian's pupils, carrying with it a reckless force of a thousand pounds. It seemed that Yun Xian could not avoid it. The people behind her exclaimed, Qi Zhiye's face darkened, and she flew forward. The disciple of the Body Tempering Sect who had been paying attention to the battlefield appeared in front of her in time and stretched out his palm to take the move.
Yun Xian's last move in her hand came to an abrupt halt. She heard a muffled groan and the sound of swallowing blood.
"Miss," the sturdy man said, "It's over."
Ji Rongxue: “…”
She seemed to take some time to understand the meaning of this sentence. After a while, she slowly withdrew her hand: "Hmm."
It was at this moment that the texture climbing up her neck gradually disappeared and was steadily absorbed by the collar.
Yun Xian stood up. After this battle, he almost understood the ways of the Body Tempering Sect.
Berserker! If this continues, perhaps the deeper the wound, the stronger his abilities will become. Of course, there should be side effects. The closer it gets to the end, the more he'll be able to act on instinct, slapping everyone in the face without distinguishing friend from foe. No wonder everyone in the Bodybuilding Sect looks so tough. They have to be tough to defend themselves from enemies and teammates.
"I lost." Losing is losing. Yun Xian handed over the jade seal and said, "Here you go."
Ji Rongxue took it without saying a word.
She already had two jade seals in her hands, one of White Tiger and the other of Black Tortoise. Now it seemed that the halos emitted by the two jade seals were subtly different, and the characters engraved on them were also different.
Yun Xian was a little worried. Preparing for the worst, he turned around and asked the sturdy man who had just taken the challenge, "Can she still speak like a human being now?"
The muscular man: “?”
"Yes." Ji Rongxue's voice was a little hoarse, and his pupils turned black. He said to Yun Xian expressionlessly, "Liu Shi is quite obsessed with martial arts. He has defeated all opponents in the world with his Killing Blade, but he has only fought me ten times."
"There's nothing we can do about it." Yun Xian said, "What if the next game is the last? That would be a huge loss."
No wonder Dao Zong doesn't dare to cause trouble. Other people's fear of life is psychological, but hers is physical.
Ji Rongxue sighed, "It's been a long time since anyone has competed with me."
Yun Xian: "So you were giving me advice and instructions in the beginning because you were afraid I would regret it and run away?"
Ji Rongxue smiled coldly: "This is called 'casting a long line to catch a big cloud'."
The scene that had just been warming up suddenly became like falling into an ice cellar.
Everyone: “…………”
Yun Xian: “…………”
I, Yun Xian, really beg you to stop talking! !
Yun Xian, who was in a trance due to the bad pun, returned to his team. Everyone gathered around him nervously, and the coldness was immediately wiped away, and he felt some warmth like spring.
Qiao Lingshan pursed her lips and said, "It's amazing that you can hold on for a quarter of an hour."
Qi Zhiye: "Tsk. Why don't you use that trick?"
Feng Ye: "Ah, blood, blood, blood, blood, blood, bubu, bubu, bubu..." Dizzy.
Xue Lingxiu had just asked Feng Ye to be his assistant since he had nothing to do, but he didn't expect that Feng Ye would only be on the job for such a short time. He was speechless: "...Give me your hand."
Yun Xian was already used to being pricked with needles while paralyzed, and he was still pondering, "Brother Xue, during that fight just now, did you find any opportunities? For example, when I was getting beaten and vomiting blood, you could have dodged and healed me with a needle."
Xue Lingxiu covered her face expressionlessly: "Then they both vomited blood."
A realistic picture appeared in everyone's mind, and their toes began to curl up.
This is so embarrassing.
The Body Strengthening Sect was still working silently, bandaging, treating, and applying medicine. No one knew what method Ji Rongxue used for the jade seal. Now the two disciples holding the jade seal were guarded in the middle of the line. If there was any unusual phenomenon, they could pass the things to the next person at any time.
Qi Zhiye looked at the group and suddenly said, "Before I left the Buddhist land, I saw the two schools of sword and forging fighting each other."
"What?" Yun Xian sat up in shock from his dying state. "Already done it? What was the result?"
"The Sword Sect lost." Chief Qi pointed and divided the Body Forging Sect's formation into several sections, explaining, "The front section specializes in defense, using techniques like elephant, rhino, and turtle. The middle section is divided into two columns, the vanguard and hidden weapon. And then there's the back section, protecting the thrusters. Look, she's practicing the bat technique."
Xue Lingxiu said: "Plus, Liu Shi is no match for Ji Rongxue..."
"No, Ji Rongxue didn't take action." Qi Zhiye's brows darkened slightly as he spoke bluntly, "With just the team, Liu Shi retreated on his own."
Only at this moment can he be serious.
Everyone was shocked.
Yun Xian said quietly, "Is this something I can think of?"
When the Jiange team can grow to this size, she will wake up laughing in her dreams.
"Why not?" Qi Zhiye raised his thick eyebrows and said indifferently, "If you can find my Dongji Staff, Ji Rongxue will not be my opponent."
How could Yun Xian allow him to fart in front of him: "Go ahead and brag! You lost it yourself and you don't even know where it is, and you want me to find it? Do you owe me or do I owe you?"
Xue Lingxiu: "I think you owe me."
Qi Zhiye paused.
Yun Xian noticed his uncomfortable look and asked suspiciously, "Qi Zhiye, you don't know where it is, do you?"
"Who allowed you to call me by my full name?" Qi Zhiye snorted coldly, "So what if you know, so what if you don't know."
"Xiao Qi, you're still too young to act like this." Yun Xian laughed cheerfully. "If you don't tell me, I'll arrange for you and Brother Xue to share a room at the next campsite. The two of you can sleep with your feet touching and chat until dawn. How can that not be a good story?"
Xue Lingxiu was puzzled: "What does this have to do with me?"
Qi Zhiye was really threatened: "You!"
She was angry, but because she was too gorgeous she wasn't very intimidating.
After a while, Qi Zhiye opened his mouth with difficulty, "I sensed that it's with Liu Shi." Even if he knew, did he have to go and look for someone in a humble manner?
Yun Xian: “…”
Yun Xian: "Actually, a dog-beating stick can be used as well."
"What nonsense are you talking about?"
"Yun Xian, calm down a bit, Master Ming Guang might be watching."
The jade seal was properly placed and repaired. When Ji Rongxue was preparing to assemble the team and leave, Yun Xian came over again, hopping on his tiptoe.
Having just been scratched, she was temporarily unable to move, so she got straight to the point: "News in exchange for conditions, do you want to hear it?"
Ji Rongxue thought she was jumping around like a little chick in the sect: "What's the news?"
"Whatever you have, I'll exchange it for you." Yun Xian said, "Regarding the Jade Seal, the Demon Cult, the Sword Sect's treasure house, and what's in Liu Shi's storage ring, and what kind of underwear he likes to wear, are you interested?"
Ji Rongxue: "Do you think you know more than me?"
Yun Xian took out Liu Shi's iron toad and said, "Here."
"..." Ji Rongxue realized that this was a magic weapon specifically designed for their own sect's cultivation method, and was slightly confused. "Then why didn't you use it just now?"
If this kind of high-level magic weapon is used, it might be possible to turn defeat into victory.
Yun Xian took it for granted: "I didn't use it just now, so I could save it for now."
Ji Rongxue felt that this person was somewhat to her liking.
"Tell me," she said, "what do you want to do?"
Yun Xian told the truth: "I want to take back the Dongji Staff."
Ji Rongxue said, "I say, what do you want me to do?"
Yun Xian: "Based on the speed of the Sword Sect, they should be here soon. When we run later, please stop us for a while. How about it?"
Ji Rongxue looked into her clear eyes and slowly took the iron toad back into his hand. "Deal."
“…”
Half an incense stick later, Liu Shi arrived as scheduled with a group of Sword Sect disciples... Well, no one had invited them.
Liu Shi looked to be in a bad mood... well, he had never looked better.
He had noticed something was wrong as early as when the two spots of light on the obsidian were getting closer and closer. Now they were overlapping. Someone had taken the initiative and snatched the jade seal from Dongjie's hand.
There was no one else who could have taken it away so easily except that person.
Sure enough, across the endless yellow sand, he caught a glimpse of his old enemy Ji Rongxue.
"You got the upper hand." Liu Shi sneered as he walked forward, saying, "Those guys ran incredibly fast. They're cunning rabbits with many burrows. It's hard to believe you put in all that effort... Huh? Why are you still here?!"
Did he see it wrong?!
Yun Xian was standing near Ji Rongxue. With the power of a lion, he straightened his back a lot: "Standing tall and proud, what's wrong?"
Liu Shi: “…………”
This made him think for a moment.
Qiao Lingshan patted Yun Xian's waist and whispered, "We have to hurry up before he comes to his senses."
"It's okay, let him think about it again. It will be good for us." Yun Xian also whispered: "As the saying goes, when Liu Shiyi thinks, even Buddha laughs. Don't worry too much."
Qi Zhiye said sternly, "Buddha would not laugh at others."
Yun Xian: “?”
Why are you suddenly acting like a Buddhist at this moment?
"Ji Rongxue, no matter what personal grudge you may have, you are from the Northern Realm. How could you collude with the outside world?" Liu Shi frowned and said, "Regardless of the circumstances, my Sword Sect has never considered attacking you. Why do this now?"
Appeal to his emotions and reason with him. It would be more convincing if the Iron Toad was not in Ji Rongxue's hands now.
"What they want to do has nothing to do with me." But the protagonist at this moment was not Ji Rongxue. She took a step back and said, "Do as you please."
Liu Shi became increasingly confused about this party's attitude.
But if he didn't interfere, it would be the best assistance. He looked at Yun Xian and said, "Now that you've lost the jade seal, why are you still waiting for me here? You're rushing to give your life, which is rare in the world."
Yun Xian turned a deaf ear to him and asked, "Did you steal Qi Zhiye's Dongji Staff?"
Liu Shi: "What's stealing? Picking it up! ... I don't know what you're up to, so I advise you to stop it in time. Of course, if you want to provoke me, then you succeeded, but you can't afford the consequences."
Yun Xian said righteously, "Didn't Grandpa teach you to return other people's things if you picked them up on the road?"
Liu Shi: "You didn't even graduate from private school this year? ... Don't think you can act recklessly just because someone is backing you up. The Body Refining Sect is a sect from the Northern Realm. No matter what, it's not your turn to curry favor with them."
Yun Xian said to himself: "Come back, or I will go out and report to the police."
Liu Shi's blood boiled and he almost lost control of himself again.
Ji Rongxue standing by showed no intention of leaving and even stood closer.
Looking at the situation, no matter how stupid he was, he knew that Ji Rongxue was going to protect her.
This guy is so slippery and despicable that every time he catches her, there is someone helping him. I don’t know what kind of luck he has.
Finally, seeing that he had calmed down, Yun Xian spoke up, "I know it's a bit unreasonable to ask you to come. But what if we exchange?"
Liu Shi frowned: "Exchange?"
Yun Xian took out a familiar, shiny thing from his storage ring. "How about exchanging the black gold bowl for the Dongji staff?"
Liu Shi: “…………”
After a while, he finally found his gritted teeth and said, "So, you mean to take my things in exchange for my things?"
"Ah? What?" Yun Xian covered his mouth pretentiously. "Could this black gold bowl belong to the Sword Sect? I see it lying on the ground and no one wants it."
Liu Shi angrily said, "Yun Xian!"
Liu Hui quickly stepped forward and whispered, "Brother, calm down! The only jade seal is in Foxiang's hands. We have no use for the staff, but we do need this black gold bowl. What's more, the staff has been taken by us..."
Liu Shi's chest rose and fell, and in a moment, his expression changed again.
He looked at Qi Zhiye beside Yun Xian, with a cold and calculating feeling in his heart.
Now that Ji Rongxue is here, it would be impractical to pursue him relentlessly, but no one could have predicted the sudden move.
Yun Xian wanted the staff in order to restore the power of Qi Xingye, who had arrived at some unknown time. However, these short-sighted and low-class people probably had no idea about the effects of the black gold bowl.
At most, it can only be seen as a magic weapon that restrains Buddhism, but in fact, what this black gold bowl really restrains is the golden bell cover.
Whenever a Buddha has practiced the Golden Bell Cover, he will continuously use spiritual energy to build a layer of golden body on his body, which is invulnerable to swords and spears and unbreakable. As his cultivation becomes stronger, the golden body becomes thicker, and the effect of the black gold bowl becomes stronger. As long as all the spiritual power of the body is used to activate it, the golden body will backfire on the body with one blow, causing deep internal injuries.
If he had attacked Qi Zhiye the moment he got the black gold bowl, Yun Xian's plans would have been in vain.
The people in the Eastern Realm were secretly communicating:
Qiao Lingshan: "Yun Xian, Liu Shi's expression is so scary, it seems that he has some kind of illness."
Yun Xian: "Maybe he was thinking of something happy. It's okay, just remember that we should pretend to be trembling with fear, and don't be too natural. Qi Xingye, I'm talking to you, do you really want me to name you?"
Qi Zhiye: "Oh! In my entire life of cultivation, have I ever been afraid of anyone?"
Xue Lingxiu: "My hands are sore. Anyone who dares to hurt me again will die."
"You want the Dongji Staff?" Liu Shi finally made up his mind, snorting coldly as he pulled out the dazzling Dongji Staff from his storage ring. An undeniable golden light of merit lingered around the staff. Qi Zhiye's expression shifted, his Adam's apple rolling, but he forced himself back into silence.
The nervousness of the man before him was too obvious. Liu Shidao said, "Hand them over at the same time."
Yun Xian nodded slowly and swallowed: "Okay."
In a flash, both parties threw their magic weapons into the air. Qi Zhiye jumped up to catch the Dongji Staff, but before he even touched the ground, he was pulled sideways: "Go, go, go!"
"Want to leave? Too late!" Liu Shi grinned and urged his spiritual power into the black gold bowl in the air. The black gold bowl hummed and turned into a stream of light with murderous aura, shooting towards the back of Qi Xingye!
He actually wanted to take someone's life directly!
Unexpectedly, Ji Rongxue's expression froze, and just as he was about to intercept -
"What's going on?" Qi Zhiye stretched out his hand to take the black gold bowl, as if he had really received a bowl. He was stunned for a moment, turned around, and slowly looked at Liu Shi with the contemptuous eyes that looked at a mentally retarded person for many years: "This? Buy one, get one free?"
What for? You really don’t want it?
Liu Shi’s smile froze on his face: “…?”
Um? ? ?
Yun Xianluo ran extremely fast and disappeared into the sky in the blink of an eye. Before leaving, he looked at Liu Shi with pity, sighed slowly, waved to the sky, and shouted: "Hey! Master Liu Chang over there, how are you?"
I don’t know if Master Liu Chang is a good person or not, but Liu Shi, who was stopped by Ji Rongxue, was almost angry enough to combust.
