Chapter 338: Dragon-Binding Stake, Purple Extreme Heavenly Fire

Fu Li, as the third-place finisher, waited at ease and easily defeated Shangguan Yan.

The other party's strength was average to begin with, and she was able to have such a high ranking entirely because the Shangguan family gave her great support.

First, they invited her clan uncle.

Then they spent a high price to invite the famous "Nether Twin Fiends" among rogue cultivators from Baiyun Immortal City.

Therefore, she secured third place in the first round.

Unfortunately, by the second round, because Huang Hezi performed poorly, she fell to fifth.

Facing Du Changfeng from Yuanhua Mountain, her victory was very lucky.

After a bitter battle, she faced Fu Li and was defeated in less than fifty rounds.

And next, what Fu Li had to face was the third-place finisher, He Yuanqing!

Facing what might be the most dangerous battle, Fu Li's expression was exceptionally relaxed.

When he stepped onto the Sword Dueling Platform, he glanced at Tao Wan in the distance.

The two nodded in tacit understanding.

They were allies, and even if their rankings were separated, they could still cooperate.

When He Yuanqing flew down from the high platform, he smiled slightly.

"Brother Yuanqing, please show mercy later!"

He Yuanqing frowned, "Too much nonsense!"

As he spoke, a long sword fell into his hand; the spiritual energy fluctuations on it were intense, clearly a flying sword at the magic treasure level.

Facing this posture.

Fu Li was unhurried, first sticking a Vajra Talisman on himself, then taking out a shield and a flying sword.

Ready for battle!

However, He Yuanqing was puzzled.

These two weapons were both at the top-grade magic tool level.

Although a top-grade defensive magic tool was already quite extraordinary.

But the battle had reached this point, and he was still using such things to deal with him; was he looking down on him?

"Please!"

As the word was uttered, Fu Li immediately launched an attack.

The flying sword was agile, circling like a swallow, and under his control, it constantly probed He Yuanqing.

"Small tricks, unworthy of the stage!"

With a cold snort, He Yuanqing held his magic treasure flying sword and slashed horizontally; a powerful surge of spiritual energy was released, knocking away the flying sword that was circling nearby.

There was a gap in the grade of their weapons, so the power they could release was naturally different.

Afterward, He Yuanqing pinched a spiritual incantation, and the flying sword flew toward Fu Li.

The power of the magic treasure was immense, and wherever it passed, the obstruction of the top-grade flying sword could only serve as a distraction.

Seeing this, Fu Li withdrew and retreated.

As his large sleeves fluttered, several cold lights flew out from his sleeves.

They constantly struck the sword light of the flying sword magic treasure, gradually wearing down its unstoppable momentum.

He Yuanqing saw those cold lights clearly; they were clearly the Fu family's unique magic tool, the Yuan-Binding Pearl.

It had the effect of wearing down spiritual energy and binding enemies.

As the saying goes, one drum of courage, then the second wanes, and the third is exhausted.

When the flying sword magic treasure slammed into the top-grade defensive shield in front of Fu Li, its power had been reduced to the extreme.

With a boom.

In He Yuanqing's eyes, Fu Li flew away lightly, clearly not having suffered any injuries.

"I only used simple control of the flying sword magic treasure; I definitely can't beat him."

"I must use my ultimate move!"

He Yuanqing did not intend to engage in a tangled battle with Fu Li like in the previous rounds.

If they really fought for hundreds of rounds, not only would his own spiritual energy be greatly consumed, but his own trump cards would also be detected by Danyangzi, who was ranked second.

Therefore, using the flying sword magic treasure to settle the matter in one blow was the right way!

With a thought, he reached out and summoned the flying sword, which returned to him like a swallow returning to its nest, circling above his head.

He constantly pinched incantations with both hands, and the flying sword magic treasure constantly bloomed with spiritual light; the formation attached to it was transforming spiritual energy to form a special attack.

"Since you didn't use a magic treasure, don't blame me!"

Thinking of the power of the magic treasure that would bloom later, he felt extremely expectant.

However, in his gaze, he saw Fu Li looking relaxed, pointing at him from afar.

The top-grade flying sword flew toward him like a meteor.

"Trying to interrupt me while I'm unable to be distracted?"

"Hmph, you're thinking too simply."

When the flying sword attacked, a jade pendant flew out from his waist, possessing great spiritual nature.

Outside the Sword Dueling Platform.

Exclamations arose.

"It's actually a top-grade magic tool that can automatically protect its master!"

"Isn't this the famous Ruyi Jade Pendant of that True Person from the He family when he was in Foundation Establishment? It was actually bestowed upon Senior Brother He."

"In this way, I'm afraid Senior Brother Fu won't be able to interrupt Senior Brother He's killing move!"

The outside world was noisy.

On the Sword Dueling Platform, He Yuanqing also showed a look of self-satisfaction.

Both are top-grade magic tools, but my Ruyi Jade Pendant that automatically protects its master is not so easy to break.

Looking at the top-grade flying sword in front of him that transformed into three sword lights and attacked him in an extremely tricky way.

He snorted coldly.

Thinking too simply!

The next moment, the Ruyi Jade Pendant split into three small jade pendants, blocking the sword light attack by a hair's breadth.

However, He Yuanqing vaguely sensed something was wrong.

He seemed to have overlooked something.

"Not right!"

"Yuan-Binding Pearl!"

He looked down suddenly, only to see cold lights surrounding the three small jade pendants from all directions.

And at this time, Fu Li opposite him clasped his hands together and held them in the air.

That top-grade flying sword suddenly merged into one.

A condensed sword light flew toward his brow from the hole between the three jade pendants.

"Damn it!"

He Yuanqing cursed secretly, forced to abandon the flying sword magic treasure he had been condensing for most of the time, and took out a shield by a hair's breadth.

Blocking this fatal blow.

Although this was blocked.

However, the power of a magic treasure can be released but not retracted.

He Yuanqing suddenly raised his head, and a surging spiritual energy spread out from the flying sword magic treasure.

Being the closest, he immediately suffered the most direct backlash.

Boom!

A loud noise!

He Yuanqing flew backward several feet.

In the hazy smoke, a figure broke through the air.

Before him, the top-grade flying sword was even more agile, piercing through layers of spiritual energy ripples, heading toward He Yuanqing's head.

"How could this be?"

He Yuanqing widened his eyes, his pupils filled with despair.

The next moment.

Swish!

The figure arrived first, gripping the sword hilt.

And the sword tip pointed straight at He Yuanqing's brow, trembling incessantly.

"Brother Yuanqing, I concede!"

"How could this be!" He Yuanqing didn't believe it, opened his mouth, and was about to utter words of unwillingness.

However, just as he opened his mouth, a mouthful of blood was spat out.

Pfft!

Fu Li dodged to the side, his gaze looking at the Jin Dan Elder presiding over the defensive formation.

The Elder from Longshou Peak looked at him with appreciation.

"In this battle, Fu Li wins and advances to the next round!"

"You may rest for one hour."

Fu Li smiled slightly, put away his sword, and left.

On the Sword Dueling Platform, only He Yuanqing remained, his face pale.

He couldn't believe that he would be defeated so simply and so quickly!

Clearly, the time Fu Li had spent advancing to the ninth level of Foundation Establishment was far less than his.

Moreover, he didn't even have time to unleash his most important killing move.

His question was temporarily unanswered.

But above the Heavenly Palace, the group of Jin Dan True Persons had already seen through the reality.

"He was manipulated!"

Luo Chen looked up, and the speaker was the Hundred Flower Palace Jin Dan True Person, Shi Xiangzhu.

Rarely, she showed some interest.

Looking at the dejected He Yuanqing in the water mirror technique, she commented:

"Whether it's cultivation base or weapon power, he is above that Fu Li."

"If he had played it steady, Fu Li would definitely have been defeated by his sword within two hundred rounds."

"However, his desire to win was too strong; he only wanted to preserve his strength to face the next round of enemies. He forgot that only by playing it steady and winning this round would he have the chance to face Danyangzi."

"Fu Li clearly saw through this point. Therefore, he kept his distance from the beginning, focusing on consumption and dragging it out."

"If it went on for a long time, Fu Li would lose. But he had already figured out He Yuanqing's psychology, knowing that the other party would definitely want to decide the outcome in one blow."

"That's why it happened that He Yuanqing wanted to condense his killing move, but was instead defeated one by one, ending up with the backlash of his magic treasure."

After this commentary.

All the Jin Dan True Persons in the venue nodded in agreement.

Fu Li's hard strength was a bit worse, but his scheming and combat strategy were far superior to He Yuanqing's.

Or rather, there was no hard strength to speak of.

Combat talent is itself a part of strength.

After listening, Luo Chen also nodded slightly.

It was no different from his own judgment.

The only thing that made him feel strange was why Fu Li would carefully design the battle situation to win this round quickly.

With his alliance with Tao Wan, wouldn't it be more appropriate to let He Yuanqing win easily in this round, and then let the other party in full condition consume and probe the second-place Danyangzi?

Luo Chen's question also appeared in the conversation between Tao Wan and Fu Li.

"You changed your mind?"

"Yes!" Fu Li replied to Tao Wan's transmission while adjusting his breath, "Because I discovered that He Yuanqing is too weak and it's impossible for him to probe Senior Brother's trump cards."

In the distance, Tao Wan was thoughtful.

So, that's why Fu Li changed his mind on the spot and decided to win this round and then challenge Senior Brother himself?

He is quite a decisive person.

Tao Wan thought to herself.

But looking at Fu Li, who was calm and composed and resting to restore his state, she felt something was wrong.

"Not right!"

"He doesn't just want to win the Dao Seed position for me and clear the obstacles!"

"Beneath that gentle and polite face is a determination to not yield. His goal is also the Dao Seed position!"

After figuring this out.

Tao Wan's expression changed slightly.

At this moment, the relationship between allies became extremely fragile, because there was only one ranking difference between them.

If Fu Li won, he would be her direct opponent!

Allies?

That also depends on who is the master and who is the subordinate!

Whether she, Tao Wan, marries Fu Li in the future, or a Fu family woman marries into the Tao family, the implications are completely different!

Time passed slowly.

One hour passed in a flash.

"Seventh battle, Fu Li versus Danyangzi!"

"Will both disciples please take the stage!"

The rolling sound came from the Jin Dan True Person of Longshou Peak.

The next moment, Fu Li rose to his full height, turned into an escape light, and landed on the Sword Dueling Platform.

Senior Brother Danyangzi arrived on a cloud.

Looking at the man opposite him, the silent Danyangzi finally spoke.

"Junior Brother, you are not my opponent; concede."

"Subduing the enemy without fighting; Senior Brother, you have a good plan." Fu Li smiled slightly, the long sword in his hand blooming with spiritual light. "However, the Dao is not clear without proof! This Dao Seed position, this Junior Brother also desires it!"

Danyangzi was silent.

No more nonsense, a long sword appeared in his hand as well.

On the Heavenly Palace.

Luo Chen, who had been watching this battle, raised his eyebrows in surprise.

Top-grade magic tool?

In the first round of battles, Danyangzi had always been using his flying sword magic treasure to fight.

Why did he change his weapon when it was almost the final?

While he was puzzled, he looked at those Jin Dan True Persons.

This time, it was True Person Chiding who spoke.

He sighed and said, "Danyang's spiritual energy is almost exhausted!"

As soon as these words were spoken.

Luo Chen instantly understood why Danyangzi had changed his proficient combat style.

In the previous round-robin, Danyangzi had to be ruthless and fast.

To secure first place with a quick victory.

At the same time, he had to strive for enough time to restore his state.

His plan, it must be said, had a certain feasibility.

But the second round was also a very exhausting competition.

The first round lasted for half a month, and the second round lasted for three days.

For such a long time, Danyangzi had been fighting alone.

Even though he had been at the ninth level of Foundation Establishment for many years, his spiritual energy was greatly consumed.

Now, in this third round, starting from the ninth place and fighting all the way up, only three days had passed.

Even for a sect Foundation Establishment cultivator, it was impossible to quickly restore to a perfect state.

Back then, when Duan Feng fought Fairy Miaoyu of Yuzhen Temple with all his might, his spiritual energy was exhausted, and it took a long time to slowly recover.

For this reason.

Luo Chen didn't even arrange tasks for Duan Feng during that period of combat missions.

Danchenzi had a deeper foundation than Duan Feng and recovered faster.

But his consumption was also great!

Therefore, in this penultimate battle, he chose a top-grade magic tool.

First, it consumed less spiritual energy.

Second, it was also to avoid He Yuanqing's mistake, preparing to take down Fu Li with hard strength.

Sure enough.

The battle on the Sword Dueling Platform was exactly as Luo Chen had expected.

The two mostly probed each other, focusing on catching the other's mistakes.

Killing moves that consumed a lot of spiritual energy were never used once.

Unknowingly, over a hundred rounds had passed.

Fu Li finally couldn't hold back anymore.

He was no match for a protracted war; in just a hundred rounds, he had already suffered minor injuries.

If he didn't fight for his life now, it would only become more difficult, and the chances would become slimmer.

Dong!

A massive wooden stake suddenly appeared on the Sword Dueling Platform.

On the stake, a coiled dragon circled, and chains spanned across it.

Waves of whistling sounds roared up.

"What magic treasure is this?" Luo Chen was surprised.

While he was curious, True Person Qingyun above shook his head.

"Senior Brother Fu's lifespan is nearing its end; he actually bestowed his natal magic treasure, the Dragon-Binding Stake, which he had nurtured for many years, upon his descendant."

Dragon-Binding Stake?

Judging by its name, it seems to be a magic treasure related to suppression and binding?

"But after all, it is not something Fu Li personally refined; he is in a hurry to use the magic treasure now, and flaws have already been revealed."

"Fu Li is about to be defeated!"

True Person Chiding muttered a few words.

It was just as the two Jin Dan True Persons expected.

When Fu Li couldn't help but use the Dragon-Binding Stake, Danyangzi's eyes moved slightly.

He didn't care about the coiled dragon chains spreading in the void.

The next moment, the purple pattern between his brows moved.

A wisp of purple flame spread out from his body, moving forward along the coiled dragon chains.

Fu Li's expression changed drastically.

"Purple Extreme Heavenly Fire!"

He never expected that to deal with him, Senior Brother would actually use the Source True Fire he had incorporated into his body.

At this moment, the scorching Heavenly Fire climbed along the chains.

He himself was connected to the Dragon-Binding Stake magic treasure, so he couldn't get any benefit.

"My life is over!"

Just as he felt despair, a breeze blew, and the Purple Extreme Heavenly Fire rolled back.

The Elder of Longshou Peak glanced at the dumbfounded Fu Li and said lightly: "In this battle, Danyangzi wins!"

Just that simple?

However, beneath the simplicity, Danyangzi had seized that momentary flaw and struck Fu Li's weakest point.

The Dragon-Binding Stake is very strong!

But after all, it was not something he had refined for many years; the control was too slow, and the mental connection was too obvious, which was why there was an opportunity to be exploited.

Outside the Sword Dueling Platform, there was a roar like a mountain and a sea, with countless disciples shouting things like "Senior Brother is invincible" and "Long live Senior Brother."

Once the Purple Extreme Heavenly Fire appeared, it meant the victory was secured.

This was already the norm for the previous True Transmission sword duel.

Now that it had reappeared, it once again forged Senior Brother's undefeated record.

On the Heavenly Palace.

In Luo Chen's mind, he kept recalling the purple flame that had flashed by just now.

"Purple Extreme Heavenly Fire..."
