Chapter 159: Danxiang Pavilion's Defeat
Seeing Li Qiufei walking up triumphantly, Xiao Rui's eyes flashed with contempt. He had no good feelings towards Danxiang Pavilion at all. The leader was ruthless to his disciples, and there was no friendship between fellow disciples. Everyone was thinking about his own little calculations and only caring about his own reputation and interests.
He regretted getting involved in the Dongzhou competition. Thinking about the notice he had received not long ago, he was very depressed that in order to confirm his identity as a direct disciple, he could not leave at least before the next competition.
Wen Jinyan lowered his head, not knowing what he was thinking. He was willing to do his best for his master, but the outcome was not something he could control. He did not blame Taiqiong Sect for deliberately targeting him, as Danxiang Pavilion brought this upon itself.
Qi Haoran looked at Li Qiufei several times, his eyes full of undisguised malice. Li Qiufei snorted coldly and raised his hand to drop several formation bases to the ground.
Many people looked at them with interest, thinking that Li Qiufei would sign up to be an alchemy practitioner, but who knew that he signed up to be a formation practitioner. It was said that he thought that alchemy practitioners only had the ability to throw poison pills, which could not compare with the ever-changing methods of formation masters. However, if he had not heard in advance that Zhong Ling'er had signed up to be a sword practitioner, he would have chosen to be the only formation practitioner in this competition. This would have been more convincing.
In fact, battles have always been a weakness of formation masters, and formation masters' battles require a fast formation deployment speed. If it were Zhong Ling'er, everyone would think there was a possibility of winning, but Li Qiufei would have to wait and see.
Qi Haoran raised one corner of his mouth. I have seen Junior Sister set up the formation at least eighty times, if not a hundred times. You dare to show off your little tricks in front of me. Isn't it just secretly placing three formation bases? This technique is far inferior to that of my Junior Sister.
The long sword in his hand flashed with spiritual light, and hundreds of sword qi flew across the sky. The pure sword intent made people feel a slight pain in the skin.
Qi Haoran did not give his opponent a chance to prepare. He used his full strength right from the start. His sword intent hit Li Qiufei mercilessly, shattering the several formation bases and destroying the three hidden formation bases as well.
Li Qiufei immediately dodged quickly and erected a spiritual shield to block the sword energy in the sky. His face turned pale.
He couldn't understand what Qi Haoran was doing. Who would show his sword intention right away? He should be allowed to make three or four moves. How could he play if he was not given any room to maneuver?
He was thinking about how to delay Qi Haoran for a while, when he saw Qi Haoran flying up and slashing his shield with a sword, and the shield shattered.
Li Qiufei hurriedly retreated again, but Qi Haoran jumped up without saying a word, like a tiger pouncing on its prey, and stretched out his sharp claws to grab Li Qiufei's clothes.
Li Qiufei was so frightened that he tried to gather his spiritual energy to create a shield but it was too late. He only blocked Qi Haoran's claws but failed to block his sweeping kick. He was knocked to the ground and beaten.
Qi Haoran did not use his spiritual power, but relied entirely on strength. However, his body had been tempered by three levels of thunder tribulation. Not to mention an alchemy cultivator, even an ordinary sword cultivator could not withstand it. After a few punches, Li Qiufei's face was deformed and swollen so much that even his mother could not recognize it.
"I'll make you ungrateful and let you provoke us. If you don't admit defeat, I'll beat you to death."
Qi Haoran's punches hit the target, and he felt refreshed and comfortable, but the hand that was pinching Li Qiufei's neck did not relax at all.
Li Qiufei felt extremely miserable and wanted to admit defeat, but you please loosen your grip and let me say something, you are pinching me so hard that I can't breathe.
Unable to admit defeat, what should he do? Li Qiufei closed his eyes and fainted. Qi Haoran hesitated for a moment, and Zhong Ling'er was already shouting, "Fifth Brother, he is pretending to faint, and his eyelashes are still moving!"
Li Qiufei couldn't pretend anymore so he woke up again and raised his hand to indicate that he wanted to speak. Qi Haoran ignored him and swung his fist at him, "You still dare to pretend? I'll beat you to death!"
Everyone was laughing. Li Qiufei was really unlucky to meet this pair of senior brothers and sisters.
As the referee, Pavilion Master Xuanyuan could not sit idly by and watch someone die, so he immediately stepped forward to separate the two men and announced that the match was won by Taiqiong Sect with three wins out of five, and the challenge was successful.
Xiao Rui covered his face and kicked Li Qiufei who was lying on the ground in anger. Was this his surprise move? If it weren't for him, he wouldn't have even had a chance to play. Now, Danxiang Pavilion was completely out of the top eleven.
Zhenren Yuying sat there in a daze, feeling a mixture of emotions. Since the founding of the Danxiang Pavilion, it had never fallen out of the top five, but when it came to him, he couldn't even get the eleventh place. How could he have the face to see his own ancestor? After all the trouble, he didn't succeed in plotting against the Taiqiong Sect, but was defeated by the Taiqiong Sect.
Everyone understood the reason why Taiqiong Sect lost in the first round: they came here for the "challenge".
Then two more sects challenged, and finally, only Taiqiong Sect succeeded and replaced Danxiang Pavilion.
The first day of competition ended and everyone went back to rest. After a while, Gu Yanze and Xiao Haotian came over with their fellow apprentices.
Gu Yanze first bowed to Zhong Ling'er and said, "Thank you, Junior Sister, for not killing me. If you use the methods you used against Danxiang Pavilion, I will definitely lose."
Zhong Linger stretched out her hand, "Brother Gu, this is just a thank you. Can't you be a little more sincere?"
Gu Yanze touched his nose and said, "Junior sister, you've caused so much trouble. Your eldest and second brothers and I are close friends. Do we still need to be so polite?"
"Wow, so you and my eldest and second brothers have a close relationship. That's great. I was just thinking about who to ask to save my eldest brother. It seems that Senior Brother Gu will definitely help."
Gu Yanze coughed lightly and said, "Junior sister, this... entering the Godfall battlefield is not a trivial matter. I have to ask Master for permission before I can agree to it."
Zhong Ling'er looked at Xiao Haotian, "What is the relationship between Senior Brother Xiao and my Senior Brother?"
Xiao Haotian looked serious, "Junior Sister, are you really going to the Godfall Battlefield? How confident are you?"
"I don't know the situation there, but this is not a matter of whether or not I am sure of it. I have to do it. I have counted the general situation of the monks who went in. The death rate in the first year is 70%, and the number that persists for ten years is 20%. Only one or two out of nearly a thousand people can come out safely at the age of fifty. I know that my eldest brother is very powerful, but I am worried."
Zhong Ling'er bit her lower lip, looking sad. Xiao Haotian touched her head and said, "Junior Sister, since you have helped us so much, I should help you as well. Besides, the sects of Dongzhou should be of the same blood. Plus, we have such a good relationship, so I will go with you."
Zhong Ling'er smiled and turned to look at Gu Yanze. Gu Yanze lowered his head awkwardly and finally gritted his teeth and said, "Count me in, but don't let my master know."
