Chapter 150: Mirror Flower and Water Moon Save Chang Pu
No one was dissatisfied with this fair and open duel, but as I said before, there will always be brave men when there is a big reward. Just now, amid the cheers of Yuan Qing and his disciples, another disciple of Kunwu Sect flew onto the martial arts stage.
But whether it was because Cheng Qi was too good, or because those Kunwu disciples were too useless, Cheng Qi had never been defeated. Seeing that the Kunwu disciples were few and far between, even Xuantan Zhenren felt a little embarrassed.
The Yuanqing Sect has always been indifferent to worldly affairs. He thought that the disaster many years ago had weakened its vitality, but now it seems that it is just too lazy to compete.
When another disciple of Kunwu Sect was knocked off the stage, no one from Kunwu Sect came up on the stage anymore. Some disciples of Kunwu Sect became anxious, but there was an agreement before the competition that only new disciples could come up on the stage. If not, they would have been able to avenge the Kunwu Sect.
Just when everyone didn't know what to do, a person walked out of the crowd. It was none other than Changpu.
She did not fly onto the stage like the previous disciples, but walked up the steps of the martial arts arena slowly and leisurely. As soon as she stopped, she smiled and said to Cheng Qi:
"Why don't you let me meet you?"
The Kunwu Sect disciples below the stage were all in disbelief. Although Chang Pu was a disciple of Taoist Xuantan, she hadn't really shown any remarkable qualities in her early days, remaining silent and well-mannered. They hadn't expected her to dare to step out in such an occasion. And before, in the Yuanqing Sect's meeting hall, her performance had stunned everyone.
What happened? How could this usually quiet woman become like this?
Naturally, they didn't know what had happened. As for what had happened in Kunwu Sect these days, Master Xuanhuai had only spoken privately to Taoist Xuantan and had never made it public.
Lian Qiao was also surprised when she saw Acorus on the stage.
"This...this person is not..."
"Do you know this person?" Banxia asked doubtfully.
Of course she knew this person. Changpu also came from a family of demon hunters, and her sister was married to Lianqiao's second brother. The two had practiced demon-hunting techniques together.
What surprised Lian Qiao was that she had always remembered Chang Pu as a quiet and demure woman, but the person on the stage gave her the feeling...
But she is just like the girls in the brothel...
Even if he had joined a sect and learned some skills, there wouldn't have been such a big change...
After hearing what Lian Qiao said, Lingxiang couldn't help but smile. It was just as she thought in her heart. This Changpu was really just an ordinary person. It's just that his consciousness might be imprisoned now, and now the one who controls her is another person.
"She is still the same person, but she may be someone else."
Lingxiang's nonsensical words made Banxia and Lianqiao even more confused. When they asked again, Lingxiang just smiled and said nothing. She raised her chin and pointed to the martial arts stage.
"I don't fight with women." Cheng Yu said as he bowed.
Chang Pu laughed when he heard this: "Since you don't want to fight with a woman, then just stay still. This will save me the trouble of fighting."
Hearing her say this, Cheng Yu immediately hesitated. It was true that he never fought with a woman, but if he didn't fight, he was afraid that he would disappoint his master.
Just when he was at a loss as to what to do, he heard a voice from somewhere below the stage: "If you don't take action, the Marrow Cleansing Pill will be lost. Losing the Marrow Cleansing Pill is a small matter, but it does show that our Yuanqing Sect looks down on the Kunwu Sect and is unwilling to associate with it. Wouldn't this damage the harmony between the two sects?"
The person who said this was naturally Lingxiang. Although she spoke in a low voice, she could hear it immediately.
Since Elder Fu Cang said so, then he will accept the challenge!
"I'm sorry." Cheng Yu said and bowed.
Seeing him like this, Chang Pu smiled again, her laughter extremely charming. "They say men are used to listening to what others say. Just now, he said he would not fight with women, but it was just because someone provoked him, and now he has to break his promise."
Upon hearing this, Cheng Yu remained silent, but just put on a posture. It seemed that he was going to abandon the formation and use force this time.
But Changpu was not moved at all, and even started picking at his nails. He looked so frivolous that Lianqiao in the audience was staring in amazement.
Is this still the Acorus she knows?
Cheng Yu felt somewhat displeased when he saw him like this. Although he did not want to fight with a woman, that was why he put aside his formation technique and only used his body skills to fight her, Changpu's behavior really showed that he did not take her seriously.
This woman is so arrogant, she really should be taught a lesson.
Thinking of this, Cheng Qi silently recited the incantation, and saw a magic circle flash under his feet. Then he rushed towards Changpu, but his movements were much faster than usual.
This technique is similar to Xinyi's technique. Both use spiritual power to push the speed of the body to the limit. The only difference is that Xinyi uses his own spiritual power to initiate the technique, while Chengqi uses a magic circle to absorb the surrounding spiritual energy to bless the body.
Cheng Qi moved with ferocious force, and in an instant he was close to Chang Pu, stretching out his hand to strike her. Just when his fist was about to hit her, he...
But Changpu remained calm. Just when everyone thought she was unable to react in time, she suddenly grabbed Cheng Yu's attacking hand, dodged behind Cheng Yu, and pinned him down.
This movement was so fast that even the elders on the Wangxian Terrace could not see it clearly. Everyone present was shocked, especially the disciples of Kunwu Sect - during the daily practice, Changpu's academic performance was not good, and he could even hardly keep up. How could he suddenly have such skills?
Cheng Yu was held by Chang Pu and was shocked. He looked at the frail woman and didn't expect her to have such strength. He had used 90% of his strength in that punch just now, but she twisted him around easily.
Why is it so easy? It’s because Chang Pu only needs two fingers to hold Cheng Yu.
Cheng Yu did not dare to underestimate his enemy now, and hurriedly used his free hand to make some hand gestures, but Changpu did not give him a chance. He kicked him hard off the martial arts stage.
The entire audience was silent, no one reacting, all in shock. And in this silence, the sound of crackling was even more distinct.
Chang Pu looked in the direction of the sound and saw Ling Xiang leisurely peeling pine seeds. She was startled at first, then smiled and said, "I thought the Yuanqing Sect was that powerful, but it's just so-so. Don't try to compete with me as a new disciple. I think that person is a good opponent."
Changpu raised her hand and pointed. Everyone looked in the direction she pointed. She was pointing at the Ophiopogon japonicus on Wangxiantai.
Maidong also had an innocent look on her face. She was eating the snacks Lingxiang gave her, and her face was covered in smudges. She hadn't said a word until now. What had she done to offend anyone?
Everyone gasped in shock. Firstly, they didn't know why Maidong was sitting in the seat that should have belonged to Elder Fu Cang. Secondly, they didn't expect Chang Pu to be so arrogant as to designate someone to compete with her.
Of course, Acorus is not without purpose. Rather than saying that the blade on the stage is Acorus, it is better to say that it is Huanhua.
She always thought that Maidong was Lingxiang, the daughter of Fairy Tumi, the daughter of the woman who died but whom the Demon Lord could not forget.
She will kill her in public today!
Just as everyone was surprised, a person flew onto the stage. It was none other than Lian Qiao.
Lian Qiao always felt that Chang Pu was a little strange. Now that she was provoking the sect, she should stop her, both morally and logically.
"Acorus calamus! What are you doing?"
When Yinghua saw the person coming, she was a little surprised that someone was so ignorant. Without saying anything, she flew forward and tried to strike Lianqiao, but her palm went down and missed.
What she had just hit was actually an illusion, and at this time several Lianqiao appeared around her.
"Acorus, don't you even recognize me?!"
Lian Qiao was also surprised. After all, they had both practiced magic together, but she didn't expect Changpu to hit her without even saying a word. If Elder Fu Cang hadn't told her to be careful before going on stage, she would not have thought of setting up magic in advance.
This is the magic weapon Lian Qiao chose in Xuancang Cave - an illusion created by Mirror Flower and Water Moon. Among the many Lian Qiaos on the stage, only one is her real self, and the others are just illusions.
"It's me, Ayame! Don't you recognize me?"
Lian Qiao continued to ask, not giving up, which made Yinghuan look impatient.
"You little girl, you dare to play magic in front of me without even noticing who I am!" He said with his eyes wide open, and stretched out his hand to hit behind him.
She used all her strength in this palm strike. If Lian Qiao had not dodged quickly, she would have died on the martial arts stage. However, even though she avoided the vital points, she was still hit on the shoulder by Yinghuan and was instantly knocked off the martial arts stage.
As soon as he landed on the ground, Lian Qiao felt his blood boiling. Ling Xiang quickly pushed through the crowd and stepped forward, sealing his vital points with silver needles and taking a pill for him to swallow.
Seeing this scene, Taoist Xuantan on the Wangxiantai could no longer sit still. They had originally planned to have a competition and stop when the time was right, but they did not expect that Changpu would not only speak wildly but also hurt people. Such an excessive behavior was indeed abnormal!
What Senior Brother Xuanhuai said was indeed correct, this calamus must be a demon!
Taoist Xuantan was about to stand up when Zhenren Qianyuan stopped him. Turning around, he saw that Taoist Xuantan and the other elders were all calm and composed, as if they didn't care about the matter at all.
"Brother Dao, what do you mean? My disciple has already injured someone, why are you stopping me from teaching her a lesson?"
Taoist Qianyuan patted Taoist Xuantan's hand and said as if to comfort her, "Isn't the purpose of your trip for her? Although my disciple is injured, there are people in the audience treating him. I think he will be fine. Relax, Taoist, sit down and wait and see."
Taoist Xuantan was shocked when he heard this. Although he had discussed coming to Yuanqing with Taoist Xuanhuai, he had never told anyone about it. Why did the elders of Yuanqing seem to know the inside story?
He was confused and puzzled, but seeing the expression on Master Qianyuan's face, he sat back down after hearing what he said.
Everything seemed peaceful on the Wangxian Terrace, but there was chaos around the martial arts stage. When the disciples of the Yuanqing Sect saw that Changpu had injured someone, they were unhappy.
Although many disciples only have a superficial relationship with each other, they are still brothers after all. Now that they are being bullied by outsiders, how can they just sit back and watch?
Although the Kunwu Sect disciples also felt that Changpu had been a bit heavy-handed, she was, after all, representing the Kunwu Sect on the martial arts stage. As the saying goes, fists and feet have no eyes, so it was normal to get injured on the stage. The Yuanqing Sect was so aggressive that they felt that they were deliberately making things difficult for the Kunwu Sect.
Just when everyone was arguing fiercely, they suddenly heard an ear-piercing sound.
"Stop arguing! How can you behave like this? It's a disgrace to the Daoist tradition!"
This sound instantly brought silence to the area around the martial arts arena. The Yuanqing disciples were silent because they saw Lingxiang speaking, while the Kunwu disciples were silent because they were surprised.
I'm surprised that a woman can have such a loud voice. It's really...
This is truly unheard of...
At this time, Banxia arrived. After Lingxiang took Lianqiao's pulse and confirmed that she was fine, she said a few words to Banxia and then turned to Yinghua on the martial arts stage and said:
"Since you are so confident in your skills, why don't you try to spar with me first?"
The disciples of Yuanqing Sect gasped when they heard this. Elder Fu Cang actually wanted to compete with a foreign disciple on the same stage. If outsiders knew about this, wouldn't they say that Yuanqing Sect was bullying the weak?
After hearing this, Liu Xia was about to rush over to Lingxiang, but was stopped by Chengxin Zhenren. He was very puzzled and was about to ask when he heard Maidong say, "She naturally has her reasons for doing things. Others may not know it, but don't you know it?"
After hearing this, Liu Xia thought about it and then stood back beside Master Chengxin as he said.
Based on his understanding of Lingxiang, she is indeed not an impulsive person. Since she said she wanted to compete with this woman, she must have her own calculations.
Yinghuan sneered as she watched Lingxiang slowly walk up the stairs to the martial arts stage like her. Although she was a little surprised why Lingxiang was here, she did not say anything and just tacitly agreed to the challenge.
This woman needs to be taught a lesson.
Thinking of this, Yinghuan was about to rush towards Lingxiang, but after taking only two steps, she found that she could not move, and the momentum made her fall to the ground.
Seeing such a scene, the people watching the fight below the stage couldn't help but exclaim in surprise. Those disciples immediately felt that Lingxiang was very powerful. Even afterwards, they often brought up this matter to tell the new disciples, saying that she had a high level of cultivation and could scare her opponents to the ground with just one look. Of course, this is a story for later, so let's put it aside for now.
Even though Yinghuan fell to the ground, she was still unable to move. Surprised, she cursed out loud, "Little witch, what kind of dirty tricks did you use on me? You actually plotted against me!"
"Venice?" Lingxiang smiled as she stepped forward and kicked Yinghuan, flipping her over. "Since you've already called me a witch, if I don't do something, wouldn't I be unworthy of the name you gave me?"
As Lingxiang spoke, she pulled out a bamboo from somewhere behind her. The bamboo was emerald green and had a few bamboo leaves on it.
"Do you think Yinqiao came on stage just now to let you beat her up for nothing? As early as when she cast the magic, she had already set up a soul-locking talisman array on the stage for me. Now I am the butcher and you are the meat, and you even dare to speak rudely to me!" As he said this, he raised the bamboo in his hand and hit Yinhuan hard.
After being hit, Yinghuan felt a sharp pain and couldn't help but scream. But Lingxiang didn't stop and hit her again with the stick. This time it hit her hand, and the place where she was hit immediately turned purple.
Lingxiang hit her eleven times in a row, causing Yinghuan to wail non-stop. Seeing this, the disciples of Kunwu Sect became furious and wanted to step forward to stop her.
At this moment, two figures blocked their way. They were none other than Xin Yi and Long Qi.
"If you want to save her, just watch carefully!" Long Qi roared in a deep voice.
Everyone in the Kunwu Sect was puzzled. Changpu on the stage had clearly been beaten, so how could he be saving her?!
