Chapter 185: Chapter Thirteen: Continuous Battle

~18 min read 3,536 words

On the Dharma platform.

At this moment,

two true Qi of different colors were constantly colliding in mid-air, actually making a sound like thunder and lightning, booming and magnificent, with great momentum.

It shook the group of service Daoists with weak cultivation under the platform, making them reach out to cover their ears, their expressions painful.

"Damn it, is the Tai Shi Yuan Zhen really that extraordinary? Except for that waste Liu Quan, this person has defeated six people in a row. How can he still have such thick cultivation?"

Opposite the calm Chen Hang was the extremely ugly expression of the blue-clothed monk.

He was from the Tianchi Jiang clan, and the Qi Condensation method he studied was called "Shen Lie Fei Jue Chong Xuan Inner Method," which was the secret of the Tianchi Jiang clan and could cultivate "Great Cave Jade True."

And among the 36 grades of the nine ranks of true Qi,

"Great Cave Jade True" was also among the best, ranking in the mid-grade of the ninth rank, which could be said to be very high-level!

But even the "Great Cave Jade True" of the mid-grade of the ninth rank could not compete with the "Tai Shi Yuan Zhen" and inevitably had to be defeated.

At this time,

sensing that there was not much true Qi left in his body,

the blue-clothed monk drank deeply in his heart and fiercely lifted his essence and Qi, intending to make a final desperate struggle.

And sensing the abnormality in the opponent's Qi,

Chen Hang shook his head and urged the Tai Shi Yuan Zhen with all his strength, instantly spreading out twenty zhang long, like a long dragon in the abyss that had broken free from its shackles—

"Puchi" sound, tearing through the sky, brushing straight toward the blue-clothed monk!

It was like the sound of splitting a mountain.

Just as they touched,

the "Great Cave Jade True," which had been in a disadvantageous position but could still barely fight back and forth, instantly scattered and collapsed, being fiercely worn away by the Tai Shi Yuan Zhen.

The blue-clothed monk's pupils flashed with a look of panic and haste.

He hurriedly raised the last bit of true Qi, recited a spell in a hurry, and a small mountain and river seal flew out of his sleeve.

But the Tai Shi Yuan Zhen had already arrived in front of him in the blink of an eye.

Its speed was so fast

that not to mention the blue-clothed monk who hadn't reacted yet,

even the crowd of spectators outside the Dharma platform were dumbfounded and very surprised.

With a piercing explosion,

the blue-clothed monk, along with the small mountain and river seal he had hurriedly sacrificed, flew out like a broken kite and fell off the platform.

Until he rolled dozens of somersaults on the ground,

the blue-clothed monk, who felt embarrassed and lost face, barely managed to generate a trace of strength, roared, supported himself with both hands, and forcibly stopped the decline, jumping up from the ground.

"Tai Shi Yuan Zhen, it is worthy of being the ultimate true Qi in the Nine Provinces and Four Seas. Jiang has truly witnessed it today..."

Silent for a long while,

under the gaze of the spectators,

the blue-clothed monk's lips trembled again and again, and finally, he said these words in a low voice.

Immediately, blood stains seeped out from his seven orifices, the light in his pupils scattered, and he fell backward toward the sky.

"Brother Jiang?"

Several noble clan people who were usually on good terms with him exclaimed and hurriedly ran over to save him.

The field was suddenly in an uproar, and everyone was surprised.

If you count that Liu Quan who was just making up the numbers, Chen Hang had already defeated eight people in a row on the Dharma platform!

But there was no sign of fatigue in his expression, and his true Qi was clearly still abundant.

Such a performance

was indeed incomparably strong and could be called an outstanding talent.

And while the spectators were discussing, Jiang Tongyuan and other noble clan people had expressions as calm as water.

"Tai Shi Yuan Zhen, it is indeed a good profound art. Seeing it is better than hearing about it..."

Wei Yang sighed slightly, full of emotion.

"Let me take action."

At this moment,

Wang Dian, who had been silent, suddenly spoke.

"Brother Wang?"

Wei Yang was slightly surprised upon hearing this, but still slowly shook his head: "Don't be impatient, it's not the time for you to take action yet."

"If we keep losing like this, I fear the noble clans will lose their reputation and be ridiculed by outsiders, especially those of commoner origin, who will treat us as a complete joke."

Wang Dian slowly lifted his eyelids, speaking coldly and indifferently, his voice containing a trace of inexplicable coldness.

This person's features were not particularly elegant, just restrained and ordinary.

But looking closely, he carried an indescribable strangeness, like a wild mountain, with a proud posture.

He looked at Wei Yang and said proudly:

"I know you intend to use the wheel battle method to wear down Chen Hang's spirit, and only after he is exhausted will I take action to defeat him and settle the outcome.

But I, Wang Dian, was granted the method by an ancient strange person in my youth, drank red clouds in the North Sea, and obtained divine fire. My Dao karma is heaven-granted...

Within these Nine Provinces and Four Seas, when fighting with cultivators of the same realm, I pride myself on not being inferior to anyone, let alone just a mere Chen Hang!"

Wei Yang's eyes flickered.

He was just about to persuade him again, but was fiercely interrupted by Jiang Tongyuan, who raised his hand.

"No! You are wrong! When a great man acts, he should not move until he is ready, and when he moves, he must be shocking and see results! If thunder strikes, who dares to block it?!

Since Chen Hang announced the challenge to the four courtyards, he intends to step on our reputation to climb up and be his stepping stone. Since that is the case, how can we let him succeed?

The risks involved are something I don't want to take even a little bit!"

Jiang Tongyuan put his hand on Wang Dian's shoulder, pressed it slightly, and said earnestly:

"Brother Wang, I know your Dao method is extraordinary, but that Chen Hang, judging from these few battles, is also a character. Who knows what powerful means he might still be hiding? Seeking victory in stability is the logic of acting!

Just wait patiently. What does the ridicule of others for a moment matter? What is our status? Why care about their thoughts? Don't look at Chen Hang being so glorious now, but since he is overestimating his own strength, he will surely become a joke!

Just wait quietly. After this battle, I will personally pour wine and apologize to you!"

"..."

Wang Dian's brows furrowed.

After pondering for a moment, he finally shook his head and gave up for the time being.

"Daolian, what about you? What is your intention?"

He suddenly looked at the woman in the distance who was covering her face with a screen.

"Don't call me that, Wang Dian. If you still haven't learned how to speak, then go learn how to shut up."

Jiang Daolian's voice was soft, like the mist and clouds brushing the face in the morning, but it carried a trace of distant coldness.

Wang Dian's eyes sank, and his expression suddenly turned gloomy.

Jiang Tongyuan secretly called it bad, hurriedly glared at Jiang Daolian, and went to comfort Wang Dian with gentle words. His posture was kind and easygoing.

Wei Yang looked at the chaos beside him and felt helpless, but he was truly too lazy to get involved, so he pointed to a young sword cultivator and said:

"Wei Zhuo, your sword technique is okay. You go next! You must force Chen Hang to show other means besides the Tai Shi Yuan Zhen!"

The tall and thin Daoist named Wei Zhuo nodded, leaped, and jumped onto the Dharma platform.

And after a few breaths,

after Chen Hang finished adjusting his breath,

he drew his sword and said:

"Please teach me."

This challenge,

although it did not limit the noble clan people from taking turns, it also allowed Chen Hang to adjust his breath.

However, Chen Hang only took a few breaths to adjust his true Qi to the peak, which truly shocked Wei Zhuo.

I don't know if it was the "Dragon Heaven Brightness, All True General Control" nature of the Tai Shi Yuan Zhen that was miraculous, allowing him not to fear the consumption of battle.

Or if the few people defeated before didn't force out much of Chen Hang's true strength.

Therefore, he was able to restore his true Qi to its peak in a very short time.

But no matter which one it was,

for Wei Zhuo, it was truly not good news.

He looked at the handsome Daoist on the other side of the Dharma platform, whose clothes were like snow, and gripped his Dharma sword tightly, not daring to be careless in his heart.

"Please teach me."

Chen Hang bowed his hands and said.

After a few battles, the noble clan people also knew his meaning.

If they were defeated, they would naturally hand over the Elixir Mother Sand to Mi Hui under the Dharma platform, so Chen Hang didn't need to waste more words before the battle.

Under the eyes of everyone,

these noble clan people didn't dare to use inferior goods or fake it, and with Mi Hui watching closely, they couldn't play tricks.

At this time,

Chen Hang glanced at the Dharma sword in Wei Zhuo's hand and couldn't help but smile.

"Sword cultivator?"

He asked.

"Just a method of protecting the Dao, not worthy of this title." Wei Zhuo shook his head.

"I see."

Chen Hang smiled noncommittally, summoned the Qinglv Sword, held it in his hand: "This Xiao Xiao Shixiong, please!"

"You also know sword technique?"

Wei Zhuo's face changed, but things had reached this point, and he couldn't think about it anymore.

So he urged his true Qi, pointed his fingers, drove the flying sword, transformed it into a long light, and slashed toward Chen Hang!

And Chen Hang's thoughts turned, and the Qinglv Sword also transformed into a sword light like a silk ribbon, steadily blocking that slash in mid-air.

Immediately, instead of retreating, he advanced.

With the momentum of soaring to the clouds, he released brilliant light and slashed straight toward Wei Zhuo's head!

The sword Qi surged endlessly, piercing the ears.

These two were both in the second realm of Sword Dao—the realm of sword intent transformation.

For a time, they could be considered to be evenly matched.

But after only a small incense stick of time,

Wei Zhuo gradually showed signs of decline, and Chen Hang keenly grasped a small flaw, swinging the sword light into his five-zhang radius.

Instantly,

Wei Zhuo found it difficult to parry, and the veins on his forehead jumped wildly.

"Wei Zhuo has been taught by the elders of the clan since he was young. What he heard and saw were all superior sword technique insights, but even so, he still couldn't beat a Chen Hang? He is still lacking in experience..."

Wei Yang closed his eyes, no longer wanting to watch the battle on the Dharma platform, and sighed in his heart:

"But this Chen Hang, how old is he? Why does he have such high-level battle experience? Even I feel a bit inferior... Could it be that he started learning to fight in his mother's womb?"

Wei Yang smiled bitterly in his heart, feeling helpless.

And with his high vision, he could naturally see that Wei Zhuo was destined to lose, and it was just a matter of how long he could hold on, with no hope of recovery.

But in the eyes of some noble clan people,

Wei Zhuo was only slightly at a disadvantage and would soon be able to turn the situation around.

For this reason, a noble clan cultivator named Huang Dalun even argued with others, making a lot of noise and attracting countless attention.

Soon,

just as the argument seemed to be getting worse,

they saw on the Dharma platform, Chen Hang's sword Qi turned several times, like a swimming fish, swinging past the attack, and then with a sharp whistle, suddenly split Wei Zhuo's flying sword!

In the blink of an eye,

it steadily stopped at Wei Zhuo's neck!

Silent for a long time,

Wei Zhuo sighed and bowed his head:

"Junior Brother is an old hand at fighting and killing, very skilled. I am not as good as you. I lost this battle..."

As soon as this sentence came out,

the field was in an uproar.

Those noble clan disciples who were still arguing with others instantly shut their mouths.

And Huang Dalun, who was arguing the most fiercely, was like a crow with its neck stuck, and no sound came out.

In the eyes of most service Daoists, they only saw countless sword Qi tangling together, colliding and making sounds, which was very dazzling and good-looking.

But they couldn't see the specific sword moves clearly.

Who would have thought that after just a moment of distraction, the outcome had already been decided on the platform, which couldn't help but make them surprised.

Not to mention them,

even some inner disciples in the Foundation Establishment realm were surprised and frowned.

"Time has dragged on for a long time, and I have warmed up. Next, I will no longer hold back. Only by using thunderous means can I show the effect of knocking the mountain and shaking the tiger!"

After Wei Zhuo jumped off the Dharma platform in gloom, another beautiful girl with light on her feet stood up.

Chen Hang smiled in his heart and made up his mind.

And after the beautiful girl boarded the Dharma platform,

the originally noisy field was slightly silent, clearly she had a great reputation in the courtyard.

Even Huang Dalun, who had just shut his mouth, became excited again and shouted to the four directions triumphantly:

"This is Senior Sister Ji. When she was young, she defeated the Five Monsters of Small Yin Mountain with a good sword technique, and even—"

Boom!

Before the words were finished,

Chen Hang shot out an Innate Great Sun Divine Light with all his strength, and the protective means the girl hurriedly sacrificed were like paper, torn and broken.

Only hearing an explosion,

the girl's figure fell powerlessly to the ground, protected by Supervisor Qiao Yu's magic power at the last moment, barely keeping her life, but she was also unconscious.

"..."

The field was silent for a moment.

Then another Daoist with a jade crown roared and leaped onto the Dharma platform.

"This Xiao Xiao Shixiong Xin is even more powerful. His Nine Spirits Yang Marquis Technique has been guided by the elders of the Xin clan, and its power is great. Even high-level Purple Palace cultivators cannot underestimate him!"

Huang Dalun saw this and shouted again, his tone very certain!

And just as his voice fell,

Chen Hang opened his sleeves, and dozens of drops of bright red water flew out, instantly shattering the nine spirit-binding generals into dust.

And that Xiao Xiao Shixiong Xin also rolled off the Dharma platform.

More breath out, less breath in...

"With so many high-level scholars in front, how can I allow you to be fierce?! Let me, Deng, come and meet you!"

After a while,

another Daoist rose with a sword and jumped onto the Dharma platform in a rage.

"Everyone, this battle is over! This Deng Yunji is proficient in a good thunder technique! He once drove thunder as an arrow and killed a hundred demon birds. With him taking action, it will surely be easy!"

Huang Dalun laughed again, his tone very certain!

Hum!

Not three rounds of battle,

Deng Yunji was defeated by the red water all over the sky and took the initiative to jump off the Dharma platform.

He fiercely glared at the confused Huang Dalun, shouted in shame and anger, covered his face with his sleeves, and finally flew away directly, escaping from White Stone Peak.

"..."

Facing the playful gazes, those hundreds and thousands of eyes,

Huang Dalun's throat shrank, but his face still pretended to be indifferent, very calm.

And after a while,

another person roared and leaped onto the Dharma platform.

Huang Dalun was overjoyed to see this and hurriedly made up for it:

"This is my clan brother, Huang Ruzhen! Ruzhen brother was young when he—"

Bang!

Chen Hang's Innate Great Sun Divine Light suddenly split into two, then into four, catching Huang Ruzhen off guard, shattering his chest bones, piercing his limbs, and dripping with blood.

"This is Zhou Shu—"

Bang!

"Senior Sister Shao Yue cultivated the Round Talisman Manifestation True Light Method, she—"

Bang!

"Cheng-er was fed with Jade Liquid Golden Paste since childhood, and could fight tigers and leopards at the age of three!"

Bang!

"My brother Han Zhou has the bearing of a great True Person!"

Bang!

As one figure after another was knocked off the platform in turn, dust scattered.

Huang Dalun's voice became lower and lower, from fine as a mosquito to inaudible.

In the end, he simply didn't say a word.

Just like a clay sculpture or a wooden statue, staring blankly, unable to make any sound.

And on the Dharma platform,

Chen Hang felt more and more cheerful as he fought, having a sense of ease and openness after breaking free from shackles!

He drank clearly, urged the flying sword, and in a moment it transformed into a rainbow piercing the sky, disappearing in the blink of an eye!

The noble clan disciple who was fighting with Chen Hang was shocked, his face pale.

He wanted to dodge, but this flying sword came too fast and too swiftly, so he hurriedly summoned a small turtle-shell shield to block his face.

But this sword light slashed, causing sparks to fly from the turtle-shell shield and shaking it far away.

Then it slashed upward, cutting open half of his neck!

Feeling the sword light suddenly frozen by a great force, unable to advance an inch,

Chen Hang knew it was the Supervisor taking action to protect this person's life, so he recalled the flying sword into his hand and smiled faintly:

"I concede."

"..."

The person on the Dharma platform had blood flowing from his neck like a spring, and he secretly operated his profound arts for several cycles to stop the injury.

He looked at Chen Hang in fear, his lips moving again and again, as if he wanted to say a harsh word, but in the end, he didn't say a word.

He hurriedly leaped off the Dharma platform and drilled into the crowd, looking lost.

At this moment,

everyone was silent.

The field was silent for a while, as if one could hear a needle drop.

If it was said that when Chen Hang knocked Liu Quan off the Dharma platform earlier, they only took it as a joke and didn't care.

But as the battle intensified,

their emotions gradually turned from suspicion, panic, and anxiety to shock.

Until now,

even a chill rose from their backs, making people's hair stand on end!

Chen Hang faced the many complex gazes, lifted his eyelids, his expression firm, calm, and indifferent, as if he didn't see them.

"Next round, which Xiao Xiao Shixiong wants to teach me?"

He looked around the platform, his expression unchanged, and suddenly shouted in a deep voice.

No one in the field answered.

His brows furrowed, his eyes shone with essence, like two stars hanging in the sky, his Qi was extremely oppressive, and he shouted again:

"Who is going to take the stage?"

Still no one dared to answer.

Some people, when Chen Hang's gaze swept over, even unconsciously lowered their heads, unable to face him at all, silent as cicadas in winter.

Thus,

after Chen Hang asked three more times, there was no response.

He pulled the corner of his lips and smiled, his gaze swept around, and finally fell on Wang Dian.

"Presumptuous! I'll fight you!"

Wang Dian saw the silent sarcasm, ignored Wei Yang's repeated signals, sneered, and shouted.

The crowd was in a commotion, and there was a hint of excitement in their expressions.

"Good! Good!"

Huang Dalun, who had been shrinking his head, suddenly became excited again, pulled his throat, and shouted loudly:

"This is Xiao Xiao Shixiong Wang Dian, he once obtained ancient—"

"Brother Huang, shut up, don't ruin the big event!"

Several noble clan people were instantly shocked, shouting in unison, hurriedly stopping him.

There was another one who was a bit closer, and he directly covered his mouth, blocking it tightly.

"..."

Huang Dalun's eyes twitched wildly, feeling helpless in his heart.
