Chapter 25. Gravel.(1/2)
It was like the wind blew the flowers, bringing out a rain of flowers. The beautiful flowers flew quickly towards the four stone zombies, with dizzying beauty and the danger deeply hidden underneath.
The moment Li Yuhan saw the flowers that Xu Qingfan suddenly turned out, he subconsciously realized danger, but when he wanted to command the stone wings to avoid these beautiful and seemingly harmless flowers, it was too late.
Flowers touched the four rock puppets one after another. For a moment, Li Yuhan seemed to feel that time had stopped. Then, roars sounded one after another, and bursts of flames began to flash on the stone puppet, bringing out bursts of smoke. In the bursts of flames, the petals fell one after another, but there was another beautiful rain of petals.
Unfortunately, Li Yuhan was not in the mood to appreciate the beauty in front of him at this moment. At the moment when those beautiful and dangerous flowers exploded, Li Yuhan felt a huge shock in his mind, and his earth spirit energy in his body became chaotic, and his face turned pale in an instant. He knew that this was the backlash that he suffered as his master after the stone leopard was hurt.
When the smoke dissipated and the petals fell, the four puppets were still there, but countless deep cracks appeared on the rocky skin on their bodies.
Then, a harsh "squeak" sounded, and the cracks on the four rock puppets continued to grow bigger and deeper. As the cracks spread rapidly and connected together, the stone puppets began to collapse, shattered into pieces of rocks of different sizes and scattered on the entire arena. Soon, the broken rocks also turned into earthy yellow earth aura, dissipating between heaven and earth.
It was not until this time that the crowd around him reacted and let out a burst of marvels, and the elder, as the referee, also looked at Xu Qingfan with a strange look. Obviously, he did not know what Taoist method Xu Qingfan used.
"What a terrifying Taoist Dharma, the four rock puppets were actually broken so easily."
"This Taoist Dharma is so beautiful and powerful."
"Senior brother, you are also a wood-type immortal cultivator. Can you know this Taoist Dharma?"
"I have never heard of this kind of Taoist Dharma. Its characteristics are so obvious and its power is so great. I should know it?"
Listening to the marvelous discussions of the crowds below the stone stage, Xu Qingfan smiled bitterly, knowing that he would become famous from now on, but unfortunately this was not what he wanted.
"Breaking Flame Flowers, those were Breaking Flame Flowers just now." Li Yuhan stared blankly at the petals and gravels scattered on the ground, and suddenly spoke.
"It's indeed the Burning Flame Flower, Yuhan, you're very familiar with it." Xu Qingfan responded with a faint smile when he heard Li Yuhan's words.
"It should be said that your Taoist Dharma is very unique, Uncle Master." What surprised Xu Qingfan was that Li Yuhan could still laugh when he spoke at this time.
"After I smashed the stone leopard just now, you should have been backfired, right? Now you can't even maintain the Earth-Binding Technique. You can't limit my speed. Is there any meaning to continue this game? Give up."
Some people, although they are opponents, you just can't feel bad about him. Li Yuhan is undoubtedly such a person. So Xu Qingfan couldn't help but persuade him as he looked at his pale face.
"Some things have been decided and have a goal, so we should stick to them. Isn't it?" Li Yuhan just smiled calmly.
"Okay, then let's continue." Xu Qingfan said helplessly when he saw Li Yuhan so persistent.
As he said that, Xu Qingfan's fingers were constantly changing like magic, and countless tender grasses with metallic light, like flying knives, appeared on the tips of Xu Qingfan's fingers. As Xu Qingfan's hands continued to wave, he shot towards Li Yuhan quickly.
"Blade Grass?" Li Yuhan said softly.
For a moment, Li Yuhan felt that everything was around the corner was green grass flying towards him. But Li Yuhan didn't think that these seemingly delicate green leaves would be much better than slashing on him when they shot on him. So he hurriedly pinched his fingers, and saw another thick and wide rock wall suddenly blocking his attack, blocking the attack of the blade grass. The grass and stones attacked each other, splashing greystones. In the end, although the rock wall was scraped with deep marks by these blade grass, it also blocked all the blade grass to the ground.
While Xu Qingfan was sending out hundreds of blade grasses, his body also rushed towards Li Yuhan quickly, with a fast speed that even afterimages were left behind him.
But when Xu Qingfan walked around the stone wall that suddenly appeared and came to Li Yuhan to grab him and throw him out of the field, he found that white light suddenly appeared under Li Yuhan's feet. After the light disappeared, a white boat appeared at his feet. It was the first time that Xu Qingfan saw him as the flying magic weapon under his feet. He dragged Li Yuhan quickly into the sky, and also made Xu Qingfan's hand grabbing his collar and pounced on him.
"Uncle Master's Taoism is indeed mysterious." Li Yuhan stepped on a white boat and lowered his head in the air and whispered to Xu Qingfan: "I am ashamed of myself, so I have to borrow the benefits of magic weapons. Uncle Master, don't blame me."
"The magic weapon is also part of your strength, there is nothing to be surprised about." Xu Qingfan looked up at Li Yuhan standing quietly in the air and said lightly. Although he said that, he was very annoyed that Li Yuhan had another flying magic weapon. In this way, he would be at a disadvantage without the right time and place.
"Uncle Master, you can think like this." Li Yuhan nodded and said with a chuckled little yellow triangle flag from his sleeve, with a pattern of flying sand and stones drawn on it, and explained to Xu Qingfan: "This is the only magic weapon in my younger generation besides the 'Baiyun Boat' under his feet, called the 'Stone Falling Flag'. The power is quite good, please be careful."
As he said that, Li Yuhan slowly waved the small flag, as if the flag was very heavy. Then, the huge stone drawn on the flag suddenly became agile, and a huge stone larger than a millstone flew out of the flag and quickly smashed it towards Xu Qinghan.
Seeing the huge rock weighing thousands of pounds falling towards him, Xu Qingfan was slightly surprised, but he moved his body quickly without hesitation to hide outside the attack range of the huge rock.
"Dong~~~" As the huge rock fell from mid-air, the earth was shocked strongly, and slight cracks broke out from the stone platform where the huge rock fell, and loud noises continued to echo between the sky and the earth. Many of the onlookers had lower skills and almost fell to the ground unsteadily. It can be seen that the power of the huge rock fell to the ground.
When Xu Qingfan just flashed three feet away from the huge rock, another huge rock hit him. In desperation, Xu Qingfan had to dodge again. But these huge rocks seemed endless, constantly smashing towards Xu Qingfan.
As the huge rocks continued to fall, the competition on the No. 5 stone platform became stronger and stronger. The entire earth was shaking like an earthquake, and the loud noise when the huge rock landed seemed to resound throughout Jiuhua Mountain, attracting many bystanders who were originally watching the showdown around other stone platforms.
The new audience was stunned when they watched Li Yuhan, who was waving the triangular flag on the white boat and smashing thousands of kilograms of huge rocks, and Xu Qingfan, who was constantly dodging and leaving behind residual images on the stone platform. Is this still a battle between cultivators in the fasting stage? His strength is no less than that of Jiuhua Shuangjie Jin Qinghan and Feng Qingtian, who are famous for the entire Jiuhua Gate.
Below the field, a large fat man stood on the top of a giant tree with a kind face and always smiled and squinted his eyes, which were not big. But strangely, his huge body was standing at the top of the tree, as if he had no weight at all. The top of the tree didn't even bend, but just swayed slightly in the wind.
Next to him, a middle-aged monk stood quietly in the air with a magic weapon that looked like a feather. It was another immortal cultivator who greeted Lu Huayan and Xu Qingfan with Li Yuhan, who was solemn in the air, looking at the scene on the field.
"Yushan, who would win if you said they two would win?" the fat man asked Sheng Yushan next to him with a smile.
"I don't know, the two of them have the same skills. Uncle Xu's Taoism is mysterious and his body is strange; while Yu Han is experienced and powerful magic weapons are only between the two." Sheng Yushan said lightly.
"Oh? I thought you would say that Li Yuhan would win. After all, Xu Qingfan defeated your younger brother Sheng Yuji in the last game, and Li Yuhan is also your close friend." The fat man said with a smile, not angry at all because of Sheng Yushan's coldness.
"Hope is hope, facts are facts."
"But I really didn't expect that these two fellow sects who had the strength to break into the top five actually met now. Didn't the legendary sect secretly split these seed players in different rings?" the fat man said strangely.
"I guess the senior officials in the sect think that Xu Qingfan's name is not revealed, and Li Yuhan is a disciple of the 'Yu' generation, so they think that their strength is low. After all, the most famous one of the fifth stone platform is Master Dongfang Qingling." Sheng Yushan said with a slightly mocking expression.
"But I think Xu Qingfan's winning chance this time is great." The fat man was silent for a moment and suddenly smiled.
"What do you mean?" Sheng Yushan asked.
"Li Yuhan was hit by Taoist Technique after his rock stone was broken, and suffered heavy internal injuries. Now he could not even maintain the "Earth Binding Technique". It can be seen how severe the spiritual energy in his body was damaged. The "Stone Falling Flag" attack power is powerful, but the spiritual power is consumed very quickly when used. Moreover, he also needs to maintain the "Baiyun Boat" under his feet at the same time. It is estimated that the spiritual energy in his body will be exhausted soon. Although Xu Qingfan is in a mess now, the spiritual energy in his body has not been consumed much. So, when Li Yuhan's spiritual power is exhausted, it is the time for him to fail." The fat man said, with a hint of regret on his face.
"Not necessarily." Sheng Yushan retorted. "Although Yuhan's spiritual energy is seriously damaged, haven't you noticed it? As the huge rocks continue to fall, Xu Qingfan's space to hide has become less and less. Maybe he had already lost before Yuhan's spiritual energy was consumed. What's more, with Yuhan's close mind, would he not find his own disadvantage? I think he should have found a solution now."
"Then let's wait." The fat man didn't retort, but just said with a smile.
At this time, Xu Qingfan also discovered that the situation gradually began to develop in an unfavorable direction. As more and more huge rocks landed, Xu Qingfan also found that his dodging space was getting smaller and smaller. If this continued, sooner or later he would be hit by the bobble because he had no room to dodge. Looking at the power of the bobble, Xu Qingfan knew that once he was hit, he would fall into a place of doom.
"We can't continue like this anymore." Xu Qingfan frowned and said to himself while dodging the huge rock that was smashing towards him. "Some changes should be made."
As he said that, he saw the blue-gray light flashing between Xu Qingfan's eyes, and furry white flowers constantly changing from the tips of his fingers, each of which was emitting a faint mist.
It is the strange flowers and plants that can exude thick fog with flowers - fog flowers.
Whenever several fog flowers appeared on Xu Qingfan's fingertips, Xu Qingfan would throw them to the ground. In this way, Xu Qingfan was avoiding the huge rocks falling in the air while throwing fog flowers. As more and more fog flowers fell on the stone platform, the fog on the entire No. 5 stone platform became thicker and thicker. In the end, Xu Qingfan's figure completely disappeared in this fog.
After discovering this change, Li Yuhan also stopped the magic weapon "Stone Falling Flag" waving in his hand, frowned and looked at the thick fog in front of him, but where could he find Xu Qingfan's figure? Li Yuhan tried to wave the "Stone Falling Flag" and smashed several huge rocks and shot them down into the fog. The fog surged under the earth's tremor, but there was no sign of the fog being dispersed.
In desperation, Li Yuhan could only stop in the air and wait quietly, waiting for the fog covered on the stone platform to dissipate.
As time went by, the fog became thicker and thicker, without any intention of dissipating. Just as the onlookers couldn't help but boo and Li Yuhan gradually became impatient, the change suddenly broke out!!
I saw a huge green tree suddenly rushed out of the fog, and in a blink of an eye it rushed to not far from Li Yuhan's feet. It seemed as if time was fast forward, and the tree grew to a height that only decades had in just a few breaths. Xu Qingfan was standing at the top of the tree, waved his hand, and several dark green vines quickly shot out from his arm like a snake, wrapping around Li Yuhan who had not yet reacted.
Then Xu Qingfan waved his arm wrapped around Qing Teng, and Li Yuhan fell from the Baiyun Boat without standing firmly. He fell heavily outside the ring.
"Hu~~~ I finally won." Xu Qingfan let out a light breath. He had worked hard to win this game. He first blocked his body with fog, and then changed to a "centennial wood" that grew very fast, and supported Li Yuhan close to the air, and finally tied Li Yuhan with "iron vines" to put him off the court. It was a struggle.
After jumping gently from the tree to the ground, Xu Qingfan first took back the fog flowers and dispelled the fog, then looked at the elder who was the referee, waiting for him to announce the news of his victory. What made Xu Qingfan strange was that the elder just looked at him with a strange look, but he had not announced the news of his victory for a long time.
"Is it because of the magical powers he practiced in "The Legend of the Condor and the Wind" that he felt strange?" Xu Qingfan guessed secretly.
Off-field.
"It's over." Sheng Yushan also breathed a sigh of relief.
"Yes, this Xu Qingfan still has too little combat experience." The fat man standing on the tree next to him sighed regretfully.
Just when Xu Qingfan felt that the elder was acting strangely, Li Yuhan's voice suddenly rang out of the field.
"Spiritual stone coffin!!"
Just when Xu Qingfan was secretly calling for trouble, the rocks around Xu Qingfan suddenly bulged quickly, instantly turning into big palms on all sides, burying Xu Qingfan tightly on the ground, leaving no breath left. Before burying it underground, Xu Qingfan glanced at Li Yuhan who was swept outside the field by himself, and was surprised to see that Li Yuhan's body had already turned into a stone statue that looked very similar to him and broke to the ground, but it was just a substitute.
It was not until this time that Li Yuhan's real figure slowly emerged at the corner of the stone platform.
"Good intentions and good means." The fat man outside the court sighed: "First use a 'stone statue stand-in technique' to turn it into his image and stand on the 'white cloud boat', then secretly land in the corner of the stone platform to hide his body with 'invisibility', and finally defeated him with 'spiritual stone coffin' when Xu Qingfan thought he was winning. It seems that when I am in the final 16th match, I have to be careful when I meet him."
"Thank you for the praise." Sheng Yushan also showed a smile on his plain expression and said.
"I'm not praising you."
"Li Yuhan and I are as close as brothers. If you praise him, it is equivalent to praising me." Sheng Yushan said lightly.
On the field, Li Yuhan showed a faint smile on his pale face, but he was a little bitter. He finally won this game, with the price of showing all his trump cards, and his spiritual energy was consumed severely, and it was difficult to recover in a few days. Especially at the last moment, he not only had to maintain the "Baiyun Boat" at the same time, but also used the "Stone Statue Stand-in" technique, and also used the "Invisibility Technique" on himself, which was a huge burden on him. In the end, he even used the intermediate and high-level Taoist technique "Spiritual Stone Coffin", consuming the last trace of spiritual energy in his body. It can be said to be a crushing defeat.
But no matter what, I won the game.
"The winner is..." The elder on the sidelines also believed that Li Yuhan won, and when the result was announced, the change would reappear.
I saw that Xu Qingfan suddenly appeared in the place where he was covered by the earth, and the sound of "squeaking" stones cracking appeared. In the horrified eyes of everyone, hundreds of green bamboos suddenly emerged from the ground. Although the earth was broken when the green bamboos appeared, Xu Qingfan also jumped out of the stamped place and rushed towards Li Yuhan.
Seeing Xu Qingfan rushing towards him, Li Yuhan also wanted to resist, but there was no trace of spiritual energy in his body? Just as Li Yuhan was thinking of a solution, Xu Qingfan had already rushed to him, and a blade grass transformed from the tip of Xu Qingfan's fingers and pressed against Li Yuhan's neck.
"This time it should be your true identity, right?" Xu Qingfan asked.
"This time, that's it." Li Yuhan said with a wry smile.
"The reason why wood overcomes soil among the five elements is that no matter how hard the ground is, it cannot resist the growing plants and can only be cracked by slowly growing plants. Your biggest mistake is that you did not knock me down from the arena, but wanted to seal me with the ground-based Taoist law, but this is impossible for wood-based cultivators who are fellow practitioners." Xu Qingfan looked at Li Yuhan's pale face because of excessive consumption of spiritual power and said quietly.
"I understand, I admit defeat." After Li Yuhan said that, he fainted. The spiritual energy he had consumed just now was too serious.
"The winner, Xu Qingfan." On the other side, the elder who was the referee said.
Off-field.
"It seems that I guessed it right, but Xu Qingfan won in the end." The fat man said to Sheng Yushan with a gray face.
"You only guessed the result correctly, but you didn't guess the process correctly." After seeing Li Yuhan fainted, Sheng Yushan used his magic weapon to fly quickly towards the field, leaving only such a cold sentence in the air.
"It seems that this competition in the sect is full of experts. It is becoming more and more interesting." The fat man looked at Sheng Yushan flying towards the field and said quietly. Looking at the top of the tree, there was no fat man's figure?
After Xu Qingfan walked off the stone platform, he saw that Jin Qinghan was already waiting for the offense, so he smiled and said, "It seems that I lost the bet between us."
"My opponent is not as strong as yours." Jin Qinghan said lightly.
Just when Xu Qingfan wanted to say something else, he couldn't help but shake his body. Jin Qinghan in front of him quickly supported him with quick eyes and hands.
This competition consumes a lot of money for Li Yuhan, but isn't it the same for Xu Qingfan? The continuous use of the magical powers of "The Legend of the Constant Blessing" also burdened him with a lot of burden, and the spiritual energy in his body consumed eight or nine out of ten.
To be continued...
