Chapter 1190

"Fight! Fight! Fight!"

"Kill! Kill! Kill!"

"Rivers of blood!"

The shouts were like a tsunami, the leaves on the branches were shaken off and swirled, the stones on the ground vibrated and bounced, shifting positions, and the forest birds all flew away.

The water tower reached the sky. The entire thirteenth floor, the jellyfish shone brightly, and the screen was completely dominated by the Yaksha and the Golden Bell, manifesting between heaven and earth!

The sound of metal clashing rang through the mountain ridges. Guan Guan Congjian and Huo Zhao Hongyuan's figures crossed, fighting in the water, unable to separate.

The water flow tore apart, and bubbles flew.

The gale swept, tearing the small fish into blood smoke.

"Yaksha! Yaksha! Yaksha!"

The Yaksha Huo Zhao Hongyuan was a local, a martial arts candidate from Yunzhou. Even if Guan Guan Congjian performed again brilliantly, he couldn't make the people of Huangzhou and Yunzhou defect to support him. On the ground, those supporting Huo Zhao Hongyuan accounted for the majority, over seventy percent.

"Little Buddha! Little Buddha! Little Buddha!"

However, apart from Huangzhou, there were quite a few people from other places, and even aristocratic children from Nanzhili came through the waterways to watch the fun, supporting a piece of heaven for him. Seeing Guan Guan Congjian use Buddhist martial arts, they crowned him with the title of Little Buddha.

The painter wrote quickly, his pen and ink pointing continuously.

A picture of a fierce Yaksha holding a steel fork and smashing it at the Golden Bell was quickly depicted.

The annual Great Hunt was also a great opportunity for these third-rate painters to make money.

Huangzhou, Yunzhou, and even the surrounding areas were martial, with a fierce folk style, and they had plenty of spare money in their pockets. During festivals, there had always been a custom of hanging the portrait of the Great Hunt winner instead of the door god. To this day, there were families with fierce portraits of Liang Qu riding the Red Mountain and winning the championship hanging at their doors.

"Elder, Elder, who do you think will win?" Long Yao and Long Li squeezed their fingers nervously.

Who will win?

On the mountaintop, the Huo family members pricked up their ears.

"Both have a chance of winning."

"What is this? Don't be wishy-washy! Elder, you are a Martial Saint. You can't give a definite answer for two Hunting Tigers fighting, so we can have a bottom line?"

"Yes, Ah Shui, your realm is so high, don't be wishy-washy, tell us, who will win?"

Ran Ran Zhongshi and others were also curious and urged him to ask.

The Huo family pricked up their ears even higher, and the Xu family, the Chi family, and Magistrate Xu Xu Wanxing also moved their steps closer.

Although Huo Zhao Hongyuan was from Yunzhou, his mother was from the Xu family in Huangzhou, so he could rub off on them, but Guan Guan Congjian couldn't. No matter what, he was a Huangzhou prefect and couldn't rub off on him.

Liang Qu rolled his eyes: "What if I am a Heavenly Dragon? I am not a worm in their stomachs. How would I know if the two have left any means or learned any martial arts? If you could see the outcome just by having a high realm, the Immortal wouldn't have given Guan Guan Congjian treasure fish. Does that mean the Immortal favors Guan Guan Congjian, and Guan Guan Congjian is sure to win?"

Everyone glanced at the Immortal, feeling that it made sense.

The Huo family breathed a sigh of relief. The Immortal intervened, and they really thought the championship was internally decided.

"Then the Elder can't answer with 'both have a chance of winning', right?" Long Li hugged her arms. "I can say that too!"

"You are amazing."

"Hahaha!"

Everyone laughed.

"Oh—" Long Li's face turned red, and she hurriedly hid behind Long Long Eying. "Sister Long Eying~ Why is the Elder like this—"

The bones of the juniors on the mountain softened.

"Alright, you're all grown up, have some dignity." Liang Qu pondered for a moment. "Huo Zhao Hongyuan, he should have a better chance of winning."

"Ah?"

Long Yao and Long Li tilted their heads.

On the side, Zong Zong Lichan's heart lifted.

The Yaksha has a better chance of winning!

The Huo family began to dance with joy, poking each other, proud and complacent.

Xu Xu Zishuai rubbed his chin: "Guan Guan Congjian has been breaking through and swept the eleventh and twelfth floors. His momentum is like a rainbow. Just on this point, his strength has increased by at least thirty percent.

Both are born with martial bones. Although Huo Zhao Hongyuan is one of the twenty-eight constellations, Guan Guan Congjian is also a freak who fights more and more bravely and likes to find experts to compete. Do they really have such a big gap in talent?"

Liang Qu shook his head.

"You all underestimate Huo Zhao Hongyuan, and you underestimate the twenty-eight constellations of the imperial court. Guan Guan Congjian fights more and more bravely, but Huo Zhao Hongyuan is also a fierce god, a Yaksha.

And in terms of martial bones, I remember Guan Guan Congjian's martial bone is the Four Images Tendon and Bone, with infinite strength and special muscles. But Huo Zhao Hongyuan's Yaksha bone is better at water warfare! Quick, light, brave, and he also serves in the River Patrol Office, and is five years older than Guan Guan Congjian—"

"Hiss!"

"Forgot about this, the Yaksha bone."

The Huo family youth puffed out his chest, and the Xu family was also happy.

Liang Qu pointed to the commoners shouting on the ground: "To tell the truth, the victory or defeat of the two is about the same as the commoners below, three-seven or even lower, two-eight, depending on whether Huo Zhao Hongyuan will be careless and have a strong desire to win the championship.

However, don't be too frustrated. Not winning is not a big deal, you just won't get the championship reward. This kid doesn't care about victory or defeat, he just likes to fight with evenly matched opponents. The point is to have fun. After the Great Hunt ends, he should be able to bury his second divine seed in one breath."

"What, the second one?" Everyone exclaimed.

Guan Guan Congjian's age was younger than most of them, and his realm was also lower, a small realm apart. As a result, in one Great Hunt, he crossed two small realms and directly overtook them?

"The opportunity is rare, and it cannot be replicated. Furthermore, three Blood Lions, one over twenty jin, three totaling nearly seventy jin, are almost equal to a portion of treasure medicine. The Blood Lion's specialty is tempering Qi and blood, which is suitable for his martial bone and fate. One plus one plus one is greater than three."

Xu Xu Zishuai slapped his palm with his fist.

"That's true."

Martial Saints built the stage, three Immortals watched together, a million people watched, just the right age and a large number of opponents, and the ability to refresh the state after leaving the battle—some of these factors could barely be replicated, and some could not be replicated at all. Especially the three Immortals. Before today, they didn't even know if there were really furnaces in the world. Being able to gather this grand play today was already Guan Guan Congjian's blessing accumulated over eight lifetimes!

Two days and three nights, walking through three or four years of cultivation path.

This is fate.

"This is luck." Ke Ko Wenbin sighed.

Before entering the Perfected Form, the best age for human cultivation is only the first sixty years of life, and the first forty years are the golden age. The spirit and state are at their peak. Starting cultivation at fifteen, there are only twenty-five years left. Saving three or four years is almost one-eighth.

"Hoo!"

Guan Guan Congjian bit a pig bladder, changed his breath twice, his whole body was crimson, vertical muscles protruded from his skin, and the surrounding clear water was burned into boiling water and white mist, bubbles surging.

Huo Zhao Hongyuan was also shirtless, but his performance was completely different.

His muscles did not congest and swell, but gradually contracted with the fierce battle, revealing joints. Strands of muscle on his chest condensed tightly like iron ropes, and his skin color deepened, as if there was an iron wire net under his skin.

One red, one black, two fierce ghosts.

The water flow swept.

"Guan Guan Congjian!"

Huo Zhao Hongyuan stared at the Golden Bell. He knew this person.

In the vast Pingyang Prefecture, there were only a few people born with martial bones, how could he not have heard of him?

Guan Guan Congjian, a disciple of Master Helian Nianci, was a Taoist companion with Zong Zong Lichan, who was also born with a martial bone. He served in the Demon Catching Division and liked to post visiting cards everywhere to invite people to compete. He had also posted one to him, but Huo Zhao Hongyuan was not interested and had never agreed. He didn't expect to meet him here by fate.

But they were five years apart. Even if this person had a red heart and fought more and more bravely, if he couldn't take him down, he wouldn't have to mix in the River Patrol Office in the future!

Bang!

The black and red fierce ghosts collided underwater.

The boiling water bubbles carried huge force and pressed over. Huo Zhao Hongyuan did not dodge or evade, his shoulders and back shook, his muscles contracted like an iron net, he took the collision hard, his arms were like pincers, and he went straight for the throat.

Guan Guan Congjian bent his elbows to block, and the other hand took advantage of the boiling white water to block his vision, hooking towards the opponent's ribs.

The two twisted their bodies at the same time.

But Huo Zhao Hongyuan was three points faster, his wrists were locked, and he left several deep marks on Guan Guan Congjian's chest.

The two sank at the same time.

Guan Guan Congjian puffed up his Qi again, his crimson body reflecting the surrounding water area brightly. Huo Zhao Hongyuan, however, seemed to merge into the water area, only his eyes were cold.

"Roar!"

A sudden change occurred. A beast roar broke the duel between the two, and sharp claws slashed down from the sky.

A fog beast at the peak of Hunting Tiger!

The two had inadvertently broken into the fog beast's territory during their fight!

Huo Zhao Hongyuan and Guan Guan Congjian scattered at the same time, and the situation became complicated again, turning into a five-party melee.

Just at this moment, Liang Qu noticed something and pulled up two more small screens.

The villagers were shocked.

Ambushers.

Two!

Seeing their names and checking the gambling house introduction, both were in the initial stage of Hunting Tiger, one had buried a divine seed, and one had not.

However, many Huangzhou people didn't know them at all, and immediately understood their identities.

"Outsiders!"

"They are the fourth and fifth place! As men, they don't fight head-on, but attack from the dark—despicable, despicable!"

"Yaksha! Yaksha! Yaksha!"

The gamblers who bet on Huo Zhao Hongyuan to win were red-eyed, cheering and shouting.

The commoners who hadn't bet on anything were purely excited.

Ups and downs, ups and downs!

This is the difference between the Great Hunt and arena martial arts. In arena martial arts, both sides set up their posture, hard bridges and hard horses, at most showing fighting talent, small thoughts, and nothing else is useful.

Only in the Great Hunt, even if the hard strength is a bit worse, it doesn't mean there is no chance. Defeating the strong, wave after wave, full of accidents, closer to reality, and more exciting.

The Huo family patriarch's palms were full of sweat.

Xu Xu Wanxing's heart was pounding.

This year's Great Hunt was too exciting. Even Liang Qu's session wasn't like this. After all, whoever won was about the same, it was just that Liang Qu won unexpectedly. The truly disappointed ones were the contestants.

The Great Shun and Southern Frontier Immortals couldn't help but be infected.

This is the difference between watching alone and watching together. The most real emotions cannot be faked.

If a grand event of a few Hunting Tigers and Wolf Smokes is like this, what about when they arrive at the vast East Sea, and it is replaced by Heavenly Dragons and Perfected Form experts?

How long has it been since there was such freshness.

"Catch fish, catch fish!"

Du Rong Hanwen's head poked out of the water tower to breathe. He could hear the shouts of the commoners below and roughly guessed that because it was the last day, a duel between experts to snatch rankings had occurred. However, the water pressure on the top floor was not something that people without True Qi could go to. It was better to catch two more treasure fish and earn two more credits.

"It's midnight."

Liang Qu glanced at the clepsydra. There were only two and a half hours left until dawn. Just at this moment, the two who had been lurking for a long time exploded their True Qi, jumped out, and also joined the battle—a five-party melee!

Huo Zhao Hongyuan and Guan Guan Congjian had been fighting halfway, and neither was at their peak. Facing the fog beast and the third party, they had a strong desire to change the variables!

All kinds of Qi surged, and the fog beast at the peak of Hunting Tiger had no recovery ability. It actually collapsed bit by bit in the fight between the four.

Bang!

The fog beast exploded and scattered.

The fourth-place ambusher was quick-eyed and snatched the beast head, his points soaring by 169, and the remaining three shared 56.3 points each.

The shouts from the local area were continuous, and some people even shouted their voices hoarse.

Time passed second by second.

Because they couldn't change their breath, the four people in the melee reacted more and more slowly and became more and more exhausted.

The fourth and fifth place were unbelievable. They attacked with full strength, but couldn't hold out against the two who had been fighting halfway?

"About time." Liang Qu suddenly said.

As soon as the words fell.

!

The "bow-backed shrimp" hit the rolling bubbles. The fifth place was kicked away by Huo Zhao Hongyuan. The Yaksha True Qi on his head threw the steel fork with great force, piercing the monkey True Qi on the half-air. The fifth place, who was on the verge of his limit, couldn't hold on anymore, his face was purple-red, and he instinctively took a deep breath.

Clatter!

Not good!

The fifth place was shocked. The liquid steamed into boiling water by Guan Guan Congjian filled his lungs, and the uncontrollable coughing reaction made him lose his ability to resist.

The fourth place was dueling with Guan Guan Congjian, his head dizzy. Seeing this situation, he wanted to shake off his opponent, but it was too late. Huo Zhao Hongyuan turned his body. His originally dark red face had returned to normal. The Yaksha danced the steel fork True Qi, took the monkey True Qi, and slashed down horizontally.

Bang! Bang!

The monkey True Qi and the saber True Qi collided and shattered at the same time.

Huo Zhao Hongyuan took the opportunity to knock the two out of the water tower.

The situation changed dramatically, and Guan Guan Congjian retreated repeatedly.

"Why is this guy's endurance so sufficient? He wasn't very good just now, but now his complexion has returned to normal. He hasn't changed his breath from beginning to end." Everyone was puzzled.

"Because—" Liang Qu turned the screen, let the fluorescent jellyfish gather, controlled the vortex water to refract the light and shadow, and released the previous scene.

"On the 'screen', Huo Zhao Hongyuan in the bubble swallowed the pig bladder completely into his stomach. 'During the second batch of material deployment, he swallowed a pig bladder, opened it upwards, swallowed Qi to expand, blocked his throat, and when fighting, he returned Qi from his stomach to his mouth, changing breath in small segments. I think it has quite a 'program effect', so I didn't zoom in for you.'"

"Can it be done like this?"

"Ah Shui, how did this come about?" Xiang Xiang Zhangsong was curious.

"I said I am not a worm. If it weren't for being in the water tower, who would know what means they hid? Most of them practiced it because of something before."

"I know." Ran Ran Zhongshi spoke, "It's the Floating Qi Method of the Airbag in the River Patrol Office."

"Floating Qi Method of the Airbag?"

"Yes, it is recorded in a strange gate of the 'Water Injection Sutra'. It can change two more breaths than others. It was used by grave robbers when they went down to tombs flooded by water. It was seen by the author when he was governing the river, and he recorded it by the way. It became a small technique not in cultivation or martial arts. It requires good internal organ control and practice to overcome instinct. Not many people know it."

Ke Ko Wenbin gave a thumbs up: "Still my Brother Ran who is knowledgeable!"

"Can you see it? This patrolling Yaksha is also a book lover?" Xu Xu Zishuai was surprised.

Ran Ran Zhongshi shook his head: "Not necessarily. It's not a method that is hard to think of. I'm just stating my basis. Perhaps Huo Zhao Hongyuan figured it out himself."

One pale, one purple.

Fighting to this moment, the victory or defeat was already clear.

Guan Guan Congjian, whose face had turned purple-red, suddenly floated two bubbles from his nostrils. He couldn't bear it anymore, took a deep breath of water, covered his mouth, dropped the treasure fish, and struggled to go out.

Huo Zhao Hongyuan did not pursue, and accepted the treasure fish.

Dawn was approaching. Taking the treasure fish carried by these three people, his points were already the undisputed first place.

The overall situation was set!

The cheers became a tsunami.

"Yaksha! Yaksha! Yaksha!"

"Sigh—the little monk from the outer sect is not good." Long Yao and Long Li were very disappointed.

"Shouldn't you praise my sharp eyes now?" Liang Qu hugged his arms.

Long Yao and Long Li rolled their eyes.

Two hours left.

Guan Guan Congjian, who had lost two thousand points, did not stop for a moment, went to find people to compete, and snatched fish—

The hazy purple light flashed from the sky, indicating the successful conclusion of this year's Great Hunt.

The Heaven-Reaching Water Tower collapsed with a bang.

The water flow surged, and all the hunters felt their backs being supported, falling lightly to the ground. From all directions, streams of water gurgled into the Ba River, the Huai River, and Pengze.

"Huh? It's over?"

The water level suddenly rose, and General Yuan swayed, sleepy and confused, not knowing what had happened.

On the mountain ridge, the clerks and cooks were very busy for a while. The attendants put up brand new wooden boards, and the entire board was replaced, rearranged from beginning to end according to the ranking.

First place: Huo Zhao Hongyuan, 8,653.3 points.

Second place: Guan Guan Congjian, 5,000. —

Third place: Dou Weichen, 4,000—

Fourth place: —

Liang Qu still remembered that when he was first place, he had a total of over four hundred points. This year, because of the floors and fog beasts, the points directly "expanded" to nearly ten thousand points.

The gambling houses reopened to redeem tickets, and the crowd was crowded.

In pure happiness, there always seems to be a little disharmony, pulling people back to reality.

"Things should be planned slowly, and on the day of the agreement, envoys will be sent to welcome you."

The voice fell from the sky, and Liang Qu bowed respectfully: "I will definitely do my best to help the Whale Emperor accomplish this great event!"

The white clouds dispersed, and the Immortals left.

Xu Xu Wanxing felt like he had had a dream.

In his life, he actually had a day to see a furnace. On Pengze.

General Yuan, who was awakened by the rising water waves, swam leisurely towards the center, and suddenly saw the white clouds gathering and dispersing in the sky, his heart jumping wildly.

Whale Emperor???

When did it come?

Without waiting for the old turtle to kowtow.

"Grand event in the future, looking forward to your arrival."

The white clouds dispersed.

"?"

General Yuan was confused.

Grand event? What grand event? Where to arrive? Is there a banquet? What happened?

Time Worm crawled out of the cave and asked what was going on.

General Yuan thought about it.

Turtle claws slapped the water.

"It must be that kid Liang Qu!"
