Chapter 1863: Sparring (Part 1)

This person was the "Great Elder" of the Lin family, ranked third among the five great families, and seemed to be at odds with the Supreme Elder of the Ye family.

"Hehe, if Fellow Daoist Lin wants to spar with this little girl so much, I will naturally accompany you." The feather-garment girl of the Ye family covered her mouth and laughed lightly.

The disheveled young man snorted coldly and didn't respond.

Fairy Xiaofeng of the Gu family and the two Body Integration men of the Feng family naturally had no objections.

The Long family ancestor, seeing this, nodded immediately and clapped his hands lightly.

Immediately after the clapping, another golden-armored guard walked onto the Myriad Spirit Terrace holding a tray.

On the tray was a pale yellow bamboo tube with five long, thin bamboo sticks as red as blood, most of which were inserted into the tube.

The entire bamboo tube was covered by a layer of spiritual light, and even spiritual sense couldn't penetrate the tube wall.

"Fellow Daoists who are going to spar in a while, come and draw lots first! The old rules still apply: our competition is just a sparring session between Body Integration cultivators, so those juniors don't need to come up and make a fool of themselves. Number one and number three will spar, number two and number four will spar. Number five will be a bye, and then participate in the drawing of the winners' group." The Long family ancestor said lightly.

"It seems Brother Long won't draw first, so I'll choose one first." The gorgeously dressed man of the Feng family laughed, didn't go up to the platform, and grabbed at the bamboo tube from outside the Myriad Spirit Terrace. Immediately, a blood-colored stick shot out and appeared in his hand in a flash.

"Number three!" The gorgeously dressed man only took one look at the object in his hand and stated it calmly.

The feather-garment girl of the Ye family, seeing this scene, pursed her small mouth and smiled lightly, then raised her arm and pointed at the bamboo tube from afar.

With a "whoosh," a silver thread shot out from her fingertip, crossing dozens of zhang in a flash and reaching the bamboo tube.

"Whoosh," another blood-colored stick was slightly brought out by the silver thread and shot into the girl's hand as a blood-colored light.

"Number five."

The feather-garment girl said with a playful expression after glancing at the blood-colored stick.

This Supreme Elder of the Ye family had actually drawn the bye number.

"Senior Han, do you need this junior to do it for you?" Fairy Xiaofeng, sitting beside Han Li, asked respectfully.

"Then I'll trouble you, Fairy." Han Li appeared indifferent.

Fairy Xiaofeng nodded, immediately flicked her sleeve, and a white silk ribbon shot out from her sleeve, also wrapping around a blood-colored stick and taking it back into her hand.

"Number four."

Fairy Xiaofeng took a look and said this number, which she didn't know was good or bad, to Han Li in a low voice.

Han Li nodded and didn't say anything.

At this time, the disheveled man of the Lin family grabbed at the platform and also took one of the two remaining blood-colored sticks, coldly reporting a "number one."

When this result came out, the group of Gu family cultivators all changed their expressions greatly.

In this way, the last blood-colored stick remaining in the bamboo tube was naturally the number two that their Gu family should face.

The Long family ancestor scanned the only remaining blood-colored stick in the bamboo tube, grabbed it into his hand, and then looked at Han Li with deep meaning before announcing to the others:

"The drawing is over, the competition begins. The specific competition and victory methods can be decided by the sparring parties themselves. Now, please let the Fellow Daoists of the Lin family and the Feng family begin the first competition."

"No need to compete, we brothers admit we cannot break Brother Lin's Wood Mirage Technique, so our Feng family voluntarily admits defeat." The gorgeously dressed man of the Feng family said without hesitation.

The disheveled man of the Lin family heard this, his gaze flickered slightly, but he didn't show any surprise.

"Hmm, since that's the case. The Feng family is placed in the losers' group, and will compete with the other loser family later. The winner will have the qualification to challenge any one of the other three families. If they give up, they will directly obtain the fourth or fifth ranking. Below, it is the sparring between our Long family and the Gu family. Is it Fellow Daoist Han who will take the stage for the Gu family? As for our Long family, it is this old man and Elder Hui. Only by defeating the two of us can you be considered to have surpassed our Ye family!" The Long family ancestor announced lightly, and his eyes flashed with brilliance as he stared at Han Li.

"Senior Han, our Gu family should give up." Fairy Xiaofeng, hearing this, felt tight in her heart and said to Han Li without hesitation.

This woman knew very well that even if their Gu family's Supreme Elder were here in person, there would absolutely be no chance of defeating the Long family, so she naturally hoped that Han Li could maintain his strength to deal with the challenges below.

"Late-stage cultivator! It would be interesting to see their divine abilities if it's just sparring. I have never fought with such high-level cultivators since I advanced to Body Integration." Han Li touched his chin, actually smiling and saying words that made Fairy Xiaofeng and Elder Xiao dumbfounded.

For Han Li, since it wasn't a life-and-death battle, and he could understand the true strength of a late-stage human Body Integration cultivator, and see if he could truly contend with them after advancing, it was naturally a rare opportunity. Otherwise, he wouldn't have deliberately used his spiritual sense to intimidate Long Dong at the beginning and provoke that Long family ancestor.

Moreover, if possible, he absolutely didn't mind establishing his prestige in the human race through the mouths of these True Spirit Family cultivators.

After all, his situation now was completely different from when he was among alien races.

Among alien races, no matter how high his cultivation was, he absolutely had to be as low-key as possible to avoid attracting the killing intent of alien races. But returning to his own race, as long as he could establish his own resounding reputation, he naturally didn't need to have many taboos as he did among alien races, and the benefits, whether tangible or intangible, would absolutely be immeasurable.

And the Body Integration stage existences in other True Spirit Families were at most at the mid-stage, and he naturally didn't think he would be inferior to these people without verifying it.

"Ah, Senior Han, this is impossible, the Long family is..."

"If I remember correctly, the conditions for helping didn't include having to listen to the Gu family's requirements on who to fight." Han Li's expression suddenly sank, and blue light flashed in his eyes as he scanned Fairy Xiaofeng.

This female family head of the Gu family, the moment her beautiful eyes touched the blue light, felt a chill in her heart, and the words on the tip of her tongue stopped.

And taking advantage of this time, green light flashed on Han Li's body, and with a big step, he disappeared from the spot.

The next moment, a figure flickered on the Myriad Spirit Terrace, and Han Li appeared about ten zhang away from the Long family ancestor, and after bowing slightly, said:

"Han has only advanced to Body Integration for a short time, but I have long heard of Brother Long's great name. I hope Brother Long will not hesitate to give me some advice."

"So it is truly Fellow Daoist Han representing the Gu family in the battle. But I don't know if your disciple, Qi Lingzi, is safe now?" The Long family ancestor narrowed his eyes slightly, but suddenly mentioned Qi Lingzi with a movement of his mouth.

Han Li was stunned for a moment upon hearing this, but his expression didn't change at all, and he replied lightly:

"I trouble you to worry, Fellow Daoist. My disciple is quite troublesome, so Han has already let him find a secret place to cultivate in seclusion. I estimate he won't come out for decades."

"That's good. Your disciple is not an ordinary person, so it is indeed necessary to be careful. However, if Brother Han wants to challenge this old man now, you have found the wrong person. The first cultivator our Long family sends to the stage naturally cannot be this old man." The Long family ancestor said woodenly.

And almost at the same time, another black shadow flashed out of the space beside the Long family ancestor and said coldly to Han Li:

"For the first round, let me greet you, Fellow Daoist. If you can truly defeat me, Fellow Daoist Hui, Brother Long will naturally spar with you in person."

This person who appeared was naturally the other Supreme Guest Elder of the Long family, that black-robed man at the mid-stage of Body Integration.

Han Li, seeing this person, immediately remembered the gaze that was very unkind to him earlier, and nodded without changing his expression:

"Good, Han will first ask for advice on Brother Hui's divine abilities."

The Long family ancestor heard this, and a hint of a sinister smile seemed to flash in his eyes. Without saying a word, golden light flashed on his body, and he turned into a golden light and escaped from the Myriad Spirit Terrace, immediately shouting loudly:

"Immediately increase the power of the restriction, don't let the battle between the two Fellow Daoists affect the disciples of our sects."

Hearing this, the Gu family cultivators who were secretly responsible for manipulating the entire defensive array immediately started a series of actions.

The array flags of various colors surrounding the Myriad Spirit Terrace suddenly shone brightly!

The giant light shield shrouding the entire stone platform swayed slightly the next moment, and immediately condensed several times thicker, and at the same time, five-colored restriction runes appeared on its surface, wandering around.

And whether it was the disciples of the five great families or other small and medium-sized families, seeing this scene, they all stirred, and everyone couldn't help but show an excited expression.

Witnessing the battle between Body Integration cultivators in person was naturally not something anyone could easily encounter, whether it was to broaden their horizons or take the opportunity to observe and comprehend something, it was naturally a rare opportunity.

No wonder these elite disciples of each family were so excited.

Inside the light shield, the black-robed man scanned the light shield, whose power had greatly increased, and then let out a cold laugh. He shook his fat sleeves, and a clear sound was emitted. Two black lights flew out from them, actually two pitch-black Wu hooks.

They were no more than three feet long, black and sinister, but there were faint silver flowers rolling on the surface, looking extremely mysterious.

However, these two strange Wu hooks didn't attack Han Li directly, but flew around the black-robed man in a ringing sound, looking like they were not seeking merit but first seeking self-preservation.

This made Han Li frown, and a hint of surprise flashed on his face.

But the next moment, spiritual light flashed in the black-robed man's sleeves again, and another pair of white lights shot out. This time, it was a pair of short white swords about a foot long, cold and flashing, carrying a strange cold air.

Clear sounds rang out endlessly, and the black-robed man swung his sleeves continuously, and a pair of silver flying knives shot out one after another...

Han Li watched the pairs of strange magic treasures, as if they were endless, flying out from the other party's body, and the corners of his eyes couldn't help but jump a few times.
