Chapter 74 "Hey! Yu Qianling... wake up!"
Seeing this scene, Feng Shen couldn't help but twitch at the corner of his mouth, and could only announce the result of the match.
"Don't go down, stay on stage and continue the competition."
Feng Shen looked at her with a sense of helplessness. He knew there was something fishy going on between them, but he couldn't say anything.
"Next, Qingyue Sect will face Xuanwu Palace—"
"No need."
Du Jiaoxi interrupted him, chuckling, "Elder Feng, I voluntarily admit defeat."
After she finished speaking, she swaggered off the stage, leaving Elder Feng Shen completely bewildered.
"Uh..." Feng Shen was speechless for a moment. Wasn't the intention to get points too obvious?
Are you not even going to put on an act?
He sighed helplessly and could only continue, "Since that's the case... then Peach Blossom Valley and Xuanwu Palace should prepare for the finals."
This statement caused a stir among the audience. Ever since witnessing their duel, many had been eagerly anticipating their rematch.
A female cultivator in the stands suddenly stood up and shouted encouragement to Yu Qianling, "Fellow Daoist Yu, go for it! I'm rooting for you!"
"I think you're a good candidate too!"
"Go! Go! Take down those stinky men!"
Yu Qianling smiled confidently and waved to the stands, "Hahaha, thank you all for your support, I'll definitely beat him!"
Yuxuan: "..."
Seeing their arrogance, the male cultivators were naturally indignant and, unusually, they became united in their hatred of the enemy, cheering for Yu Xuan.
Seeing this scene, Yu Xuan was speechless. "Wouldn't that be really necessary..."
At this moment, Yu Qianling walked up to him, raised her handsome eyebrows, and said, "Let's go, the atmosphere is already set, it's time for us to make our appearance."
"..."
Hearing her words, everyone was speechless. Was this supposed to be a performance where people held hands on stage?
Why is there absolutely no sense of tension, and the atmosphere actually seems quite harmonious?
Yu Xuan watched Yu Qianling's retreating figure, an excited expression on his face. He had been waiting for this battle for a long time, and now his wish was about to come true.
Thinking that the inner demons that had been troubling him were about to vanish, Yu Xuan leaped onto the arena and eagerly declared, "Let's fight!"
"Hey, how come you're even more obsessed than me?"
Yu Qianling looked surprised, took out his crimson spear, swung it around, and assumed an attacking stance. He said in a deep voice, "Then let's go!"
As soon as she finished speaking, the two figures suddenly clashed, exchanging several blows in the blink of an eye.
Feng Shen watched the two fighting fiercely and sighed softly, "Why are all the kids this year so impatient? I haven't even said 'start' yet!"
Seeing the atmosphere on the scene, he felt it was even more difficult to call a halt now, so he had no choice but to give up and leave the ring.
Hidden in the spectator stands, Bai Ruoqian watched the two figures clashing in the arena and cursed inwardly, "I hope they both suffer heavy losses!"
She was so angry at Yu Xuan, this stubborn man, that she couldn't stand any persuasion. But her heart was drawn to him and she had to endure it.
"Hehe, I didn't expect that girl to actually have the bloodline of a demon phoenix. My luck is not bad." At this moment, Xin Hun Yin chuckled sinisterly.
"Hmm? You're interested in her?" Bai Ruoqian looked at Yu Qianling on the stage, her brows furrowing slightly. It seemed that this crazy woman was even more difficult to deal with than Ye Luo.
"Keep her for now; she'll be very useful later."
"Oh?" Bai Ruoqian narrowed her eyes slightly, looking at Yu Qianling with a calculating expression. "Alright, I'll do whatever you say."
The intense collision of the two spiritual energies on the arena stirred up waves of energy. Upon seeing this, Feng Shen immediately instructed the people around him to quickly activate the defensive formation as a precaution.
Seeing the blue defensive shield, everyone felt relieved and continued watching the battle.
Yu Xuan held his sword, his blue spiritual power surging, and he slashed down several sharp sword beams. Then he quickly formed a magic array by making hand seals, and the sharp blades attacked Yu Qianling.
Seeing this, Yu Qianling dodged the attack with ease, and at the same time quickly formed a spear formation, which he then used to blast forward.
The impact of the two forces caused both of them to involuntarily take a few steps back before regaining their balance.
"Again!" At this moment, Yu Qianling's face was filled with fighting spirit, and his body was filled with red spiritual power. He raised the long spear in his hand and charged again.
"As you wish!" Yu Xuan revealed a look of pleasure, his eyes suddenly turned into yellow beast pupils, and black and white stripes crawled up on his neck. He then gathered his energy in his dantian and suddenly let out a tiger's roar.
The powerful sonic technique left Yu Qianling dizzy and disoriented, her vision blurring for a moment. By the time she recovered, Yu Xuan, sword in hand, had already charged towards her.
Startled, Yu Qianling began to parry and dodge with his spear held horizontally, and the battle situation instantly turned against him.
"Lion and Tiger Roar?"
Jun Yi looked at Yu Xuan with great interest and said, "Hehe, I didn't expect that kid to be from the Xuanhu Palace."
"Xuanhu Palace?" Ye Luo felt very unfamiliar with it. He had no recollection of it at all. Could it be a plot point that appeared later in the story?
A bitter feeling welled up inside him. If he could do it all over again, he would definitely treasure that cultivation novel like a priceless gem...
Where is Xuanhu Palace?
"In the cultivation world, they are considered a powerful force that dominates a region."
"Oh~"
As expected of the male lead, his background and setting are naturally impressive. Bai Ruoqian really got a great deal.
Suddenly, Ye Luo had a question in her mind and asked, "Then, compared to your Dragon Lord Palace, who is more powerful?"
Jun Yi revealed a disdainful expression and sneered, "Those little kittens are no match for us?"
Kitten?
"Hehe." Ye Luo chuckled dismissively. He guessed that in the eyes of the Xuanhu Palace, they were just little snakes.
Ye Luo watched the intense battle on the stage, still somewhat puzzled, "Are all you people from the cultivation world so bored that you come down to the cultivation world for no reason?"
Jun Yi chuckled lightly, "There are some secrets involved, which can't be explained in just a few words. I'll tell you in detail when we have time."
Suddenly, Cen Feng cheered from the side, startling Ye Luo so much that she immediately looked up and saw that Yu Qianling, who had been suppressed by Yu Xuan, had suddenly started to fight back.
Yu Qianling unleashed a powerful spear strike, and Yu Xuan, wielding his longsword, managed to parry it, only to be violently forced back several meters.
At this moment, both of their spiritual energy was almost depleted. Yu Xuan watched as Yu Qianling suddenly put away his longsword, his hands moving in complex hand seals, which suddenly condensed into a huge golden magic seal.
Runes flowed within the magic seal, and Yu Qianling could feel the powerful force contained within. A resolute look appeared on her face as she cut her palm, and drops of bright red blood flowed down the gun barrel and onto the tip.
While everyone was puzzled, Yu Qianling held the spear and infused it with spiritual power, skillfully drawing talismans in the air.
One by one, blood-red runes rose into the air and condensed into a complex spear formation, a scene that stunned everyone present.
"Is this...is this drawing a talisman?"
"Hmm, it seems so..."
"Wait a minute, isn't she a martial arts practitioner?"
Suddenly, as if realizing something, everyone exclaimed in surprise, "Could she be a dual cultivator of martial arts and talismans?!"
Ye Luo was also surprised. She didn't expect that she would actually listen to his suggestion in the cave and even integrate the talismanic way.
As expected of the battle maniac from the original work, his battle acumen is truly top-notch!
On the arena, Yu Xuan's face flashed with surprise upon seeing this, then he gritted his teeth and shouted, "You can't beat me!"
"Is that so?" Yu Qianling revealed a carefree smile, thrusting the spear in his hand into the rune array, instantly revealing a huge spear light. "Then let's fight!"
"Tiger Mountain Seal!" Yu Xuan shouted in a deep voice, unleashing the seal. At the same time, Yu Qianling also used the spear talisman array.
The two powerful forces collided instantly, creating a deafening explosion that shook the entire area. The massive energy impact shattered the raised protective shield, causing the nearby crowd to flee in terror.
As the aftershocks subsided, everyone looked nervously toward the arena, only to see a scene of utter devastation. The arena had been blasted apart again, and Yu Qianling and Yu Xuan lay ragged and disheveled amidst the ruins.
At this moment, Yu Qianling felt a buzzing in her ears, and the words her mother had told her when she was a child kept repeating in her mind—
"Qianling, you must become stronger and protect yourself!"
"Mother...I can do it..."
Yu Qianling's expression was somewhat blank. Suddenly, she stood up and staggered towards Yu Xuan, saying, "Become stronger... I want to win..."
Yu Xuan had recovered by then. She looked up and met Yu Qianling's dazed eyes. Just as she was wondering what was going on, she suddenly straddled him as if she had gone mad, her bloodied hands gripping his neck tightly.
"Hey! Yu Qianling... wake up!"
At this moment, Yu Xuan also noticed that something was wrong with her. He tried desperately to pry her hands off, but she seemed to be possessed and wouldn't let go, muttering something under her breath.
Just when Yu Xuan thought she was about to die, Yu Qianling suddenly collapsed on top of her. Then Nan Muyin picked her up and carried her away with Ming Cang.
"Cough cough—!" Yu Xuan coughed violently a few times before recovering after a short while.
"Xiao Xuan, are you alright?"
Mu Tai looked at him with concern, and seeing him staring blankly in the direction where the people from Peach Blossom Valley had left, he asked again, "Xiao Xuan?"
"Master, I'm alright..."
