Chapter 624
Outside the light barrier, there was an uproar, and many people were dumbfounded. WM Net
Even the bald man acting as the referee looked at the youth with a strange expression before announcing loudly:
"Han Li of Falling Cloud Sect, wins!"
Han Li performed a salute to the man with an unchanged expression before walking out of the light barrier calmly.
Afterward, two Ancient Sword Gate disciples rushed into the arena, carried the unconscious Yao Feng out, and tried to wake him up.
At this moment, the short old man outside the arena widened his eyes in disbelief, his face extremely ugly.
Although he knew that this disciple of the other party could participate in the assembly with such a low cultivation base, there must be some strangeness in it. But he never expected that the other party would use talismans as a means of attack, and the disciple he had high hopes for would be defeated by the other party in a single encounter. This made it difficult for him to turn his face, which he had just used to mock the red-shirted old man.
For a time, an awkward expression appeared on this person's face, and he was full of depression, but he couldn't say a word.
"Hehe! Brother Duan, this disciple of yours is truly interesting. To throw out dozens of spirit stones worth of talismans in one go. Although it's a bit opportunistic, being able to stimulate so many fireball talismans at once, he must have put in a lot of hard work in his technique; it's very difficult for ordinary disciples to be so proficient." The old man surnamed Fu looked at Han Li's match in the light barrier and laughed dumbly.
"Nothing! This disciple of our sect is himself a talisman-maker, so it's quite normal to use talismans for attacks. Of course, Duan was also a bit surprised that he was willing to use so many talismans at once." The red-shirted old man saw the Ancient Sword Gate's Jiang Yun eating humble pie, feeling quite comfortable in his heart, but said lightly, whether true or false.
"Hmph! It's just a few more talismans; now everyone knows this method. In the following matches, this disciple of yours definitely won't pass." Jiang Yun still muttered unhappily.
"Is that so?" The red-shirted old man laughed and didn't say anything.
"However, the movement technique this disciple used to rush over seems to be a lightness technique from the mortal world; otherwise, it would be impossible to catch Junior Nephew Yao off guard so quickly." The green-robed Confucian scholar looked at Han Li, who had returned to the Falling Cloud Sect ranks, and nodded without minding at all.
"Brother Bai has also seen it! This disciple of our sect was previously a rogue cultivator, and his learning is a bit mixed, making the noble sect laugh!" The red-shirted old man showed a bit of surprise.
"That's nothing; I also had some interest in martial arts from the mortal world before and have studied them a bit. Although this kind of mortal martial arts has no effect on high-tier cultivators, if Qi Condensation stage disciples can use them cleverly, they can still add three points of strength. Moreover, this disciple of your sect is so proficient in his techniques, as if he has experienced quite a bit of real combat. The defeat of our sect's disciple is not unjust." The Confucian scholar said with a smile.
Just as these high-level cultivators of the three sects were talking leisurely, the referee in the arena had already been replaced by the gray-clothed old man of the Falling Cloud Sect, who said expressionlessly:
"Second match, Ruan Tianci of Hundred Crafts Academy versus Zhou Xu of Ancient Sword Gate."
As these words were spoken, two youths walked out from the Hundred Crafts Academy and the Ancient Sword Gate respectively. After saluting each other, they pinched spell seals at the sound of "Begin" from the old man and began to fight with their respective magic tools.
The Core Formation stage cultivators of the three sects then put the previous match behind them and focused their attention on this match.
I don't know if it was influenced by Han Li's previous battle, but these two disciples were obviously much more conservative, making the people outside the arena feel somewhat stifled and dull.
In the end, the sword cultivator disciple of the Ancient Sword Gate was slightly better, using his sword tool to break the other party's magic tool defense and winning.
The following match was the duel between the Falling Cloud Sect and the Hundred Crafts Academy……
In this way, the first round of matches took a full two days to complete.
Among them, the strength of the Ancient Sword Gate's sword cultivators was truly not just talk.
Except for Han Li and a few others, the other two sects' disciples who encountered the Ancient Sword Gate were obviously at a disadvantage and were defeated one after another.
The appearance of this situation finally made the cultivator surnamed Jiang smile again, as if he had vented a bit of depression.
Fortunately, the few Core Formation stage cultivators of the Hundred Crafts Academy and the red-shirted old man of the Falling Cloud Sect had expected this, so although they felt their face was not very good, they could still pretend not to care. From the perspective of demeanor, it seemed to be much better than the short old man.
For the second round of matches, Han Li's opponent was a female Qi Condensation stage cultivator from the Hundred Crafts Academy with a heroic face.
After seeing Han Li's previous matches, she released her flying magic tool as soon as she started and flew into mid-air.
In her mind, this way she could naturally dodge Han Li's talisman attacks freely, and she was also quite wary of Han Li's fast movement technique.
Seeing this situation, Han Li sighed lightly and threw out a handful of fireball talismans again without saying anything.
As a result, just when she was smugly intending to dodge these fireballs, Han Li pinched spell seals with both hands, and the numerous fireballs flashed with red light in mid-flight, turning into dozens of fist-sized little fire birds, circling and dancing.
The Hundred Crafts Academy female cultivator was shocked to see this scene, and just as she was about to drive her magic tool to protect herself, Han Li didn't give her any more chances. While pretending to chant incantations on the surface, he moved his spiritual sense, and all the fire birds danced near the female cultivator, crashing into her from all directions.
Although this female disciple hurriedly released a water-attribute barrier using a talisman, it couldn't withstand such a fierce attack, and after a moment, the barrier shattered.
Helpless, she could only take the initiative to admit defeat.
After this battle, the other two sects' disciples, who had previously felt that Han Li was winning unfairly by relying on talismans, were finally moved.
However, some Foundation Establishment stage cultivators with powerful magic tools still clearly looked down on Han Li's nouveau riche style of fighting, and as a result……
……
At dusk five days later, in the middle of Mount Mount Yunmeng, in a nameless valley standing by the mountain.
This valley is located in a remote place, covered by endless gloomy and damp mist all year round, which can be said to be pitch black. And in these mists, poisonous insects like poisonous scorpions and poisonous snakes are countless, occupying the place.
And because this valley is really not big, even if cultivators occasionally fly over the valley, it is very easy to ignore it, and no one will land to see what's going on.
But on this day, the mist in the valley was even more dense, but in a place deep in the valley where the rocks were placed seemingly messily but actually had other mysteries, white light suddenly flashed, and then two figures appeared out of thin air there.
These two were one gray-clothed and gray-robed, with a ferocious face, and the other green-robed with a jade belt, with a refined appearance.
"Aren't these Brother Bai of the Ancient Sword Gate and Fellow Daoist Yu of the Falling Cloud Sect! Why, is the Sword Trial Assembly over?" Although there was clearly no one around the messy rocks, a lazy man's voice came out, slightly hoarse.
"So it's Fellow Daoist Yue on duty today! The assembly is indeed over. We two came over first to see how the Holy Land's Clear Spirit Water is prepared. If it's ready, we'll send those ten disciples over directly. To avoid any problems or accidents." The cultivator surnamed Bai of the Ancient Sword Gate smiled with no strange expression.
As for the gray-clothed old man on the side, he remained expressionless and silent.
"What accidents could there be? Just the Core Formation stage cultivators like you and me are guarding here day and night. Plus, when the time comes, you guys will all come over together. Are you still afraid that a group of low-tier disciples will make any big waves?" The man's voice sounded dismissive.
"The Spirit Eye Tree is of great importance, so it's better to be careful and not make mistakes! Moreover, the Clear Spirit Water must be dripped into the alcohol liquid at the very last step. And once it's prepared, it must be used for eye-washing immediately, otherwise the spiritual effect will be greatly reduced! Otherwise, why would we bring these ten disciples here!" The cultivator surnamed Bai shook his head slightly and said.
"Alright. The Clear Spirit Water is seven or eight parts prepared; just let them wash their eyes and leave immediately. There are restrictions everywhere here, and they will be sent here through transmission, so they won't know where this place is." The man laughed and said very confidently.
"That would naturally be best! Brother Yu, stay here for now; I'll go notify the other Fellow Daoists and have those disciples sent over." The cultivator surnamed Bai nodded slightly and said.
"By the way! Is the winner of this Sword Trial Assembly still the Ancient Sword Gate?" The man's voice suddenly remembered something and asked.
"The winner of this assembly is Junior Nephew Meng Di of our Ancient Sword Gate. I'm afraid it will disappoint Fellow Daoist Yue." The green-robed Confucian scholar smiled and said.
"Hmph! You sword cultivators are just a bit stronger than us ordinary cultivators in the Foundation Establishment stage, what's so strange about that. But after reaching the Core Formation stage, who is strong and who is weak is hard to say. If you have a chance, tell your Third Senior Brother that Yue would like to spar with him again." The man's lazy voice showed a trace of unwillingness.
The white-robed Confucian scholar remained silent upon hearing this, but then laughed lightly:
"It seems Fellow Daoist Yue is still brooding over his defeat at the hands of Third Senior Brother back then. However, I'm afraid I'll have to disappoint you. Third Senior Brother is currently attacking the late Core Formation stage and has just gone into seclusion."
