Chapter 737 Temporarily Ranked First
At this time, Xu Zhuo stared at the seven-colored clouds in front of him, and his face suddenly turned pale.
Although Xu Zhuo did not know the specific situation in the clouds at this moment, as an experienced person in martial arts, he had already sensed a fatal threat.
It was this special feeling that made him detect the unusual taste.
As a result, Xu Zhuo was shocked and wanted to retreat in a hurry.
However, the clouds had already formed at this time, and under Lin Tianyun's urging, they rushed towards him.
It is said that it is too late, but that is too soon. Although Xu Zhuo was very fast and retreated very decisively, Lin Tianyun was faster.
In addition, the range covered by the third-order formation is limited, and the clouds activated by Lin Tianyun occupy a small half of the area.
Under such factors, the space left for Xu Zhuo to move was extremely limited.
In this way, just when Xu Zhuo exploded and retreated dozens of feet away, the seven-color rainbow activated by Lin Tianyun suddenly descended.
The next moment, bursts of explosions were heard from within the formation.
At the same time, a sea of fire formed, directly occupying a small half of the area inside the formation.
Outside the formation, everyone only saw a dazzling light piercing the sky, directly blocking the sight of many monks.
As for the sea of fire at this moment, the seven-color rainbow triggered by Lin Tianyun turned into seven different colors of gas, and then clashed with the fourth-order monster spirit in Xu Zhuo's Bagua Diagram. .
At the beginning, the first two gases were knocked away by the claws of the fourth-order monster, and then dissipated between heaven and earth.
The next third burst of gas hit the body of the monster spirit.
At that moment, the fourth-level monster spirit seemed to have come to life, and it roared in pain.
Not only that, after this fourth-level monster was hit, a big hole was blasted out of its body by the third gas.
But even so, the attack of the fourth-order monster spirits did not stop.
So at that moment, the fourth gas arrived as promised, and once again bombarded the sharp claws of the fourth-order monster spirit.
In this round of attacks, the fourth-order monster spirit seemed to have recovered part of its strength, thus repelling this round of attacks.
But before it could take a breath, the next round of attacks from the colorful rainbow had arrived as promised.
Moreover, Lin Tianyun's attack speed was very fast, and his target was extremely accurate, leaving him no more reaction time.
As a result, the fifth round of attacks once again bombarded the body of the fourth-order monster spirit.
This time, the monster spirit was unable to dodge and thus completely withstood this round of attacks.
Under this attack, its injuries became more serious.
Affected by this, the strength of the fourth-level monster spirit was greatly reduced, and its speed was also much slower.
However, this was only the fifth round of attacks, and it had already caused heavy damage to the spirit of the fourth-level monster.
Next, two rounds of bombardment came one after another.
Faced with such waves of attacks, the fourth-level monster spirit has no time to care.
Under such circumstances, when the sixth round of attacks came, the fourth-level monster spirit could only drag its seriously injured body to meet this round of attacks head-on.
As the sixth gas got closer and closer, it soon arrived in front of the monster spirit.
And in the next moment, the attack directly collided with the sharp claws of the fourth-order monster spirit.
"Bang..."
Amidst the burst of explosions, there was a miserable cry.
At the same time, the huge shock wave generated by the collision between the two also spread in all directions at this time.
When the movement calmed down a little, there was no longer a shadow of the monster spirit. There were only dots of light floating in the air, which seemed to be part of the body of the fourth-level monster spirit.
At this time, Xu Zhuo witnessed all this with his own eyes.
When he saw the spirit of the fourth-order monster beast being dispersed, his face immediately turned pale and bloodless, and a mouthful of blood spurted out from the corner of his mouth, and his breath became much weaker at this time.
Obviously, Xu Zhuo was implicated by the spirit of the fourth-level monster in this blow, causing him to also suffer serious injuries.
However, at this time, he couldn't care less about his heartache or his own embarrassing situation.
Because at this moment, Lin Tianyun triggered the seven-color rainbow attack and the last round of gas hit his location.
This time, he didn’t have the fourth-level monster spirit to help him resist.
Faced with such an attack, Xu Zhuo wanted to dodge, but Lin Tianyun's attack speed was too fast.
If this continues, with his current state and speed, it will be impossible to dodge.
It was at this moment that Xu Zhuo had already predicted such a result.
So, even though Xu Zhuo was implicated, he made the choice to give it a go in a very short period of time.
In this way, just when the seventh round of attacks came, a burst of light flashed on the Bagua diagram in front of Xu Zhuo.
Then, the Bagua pattern shrank in size, just enough to protect his entire body inside.
Just when these changes were completed, Lin Tianyun's last attack came suddenly, and accurately bombarded the Bagua pattern.
At that moment, a burst of thunder and explosions was heard between heaven and earth.
Immediately afterwards, I saw a sea of fire rising up, as dazzling as flowers in bloom.
And in the sea of fire, the seventh gas and the Bagua pattern shook together.
This time, Xu Zhuo's Bagua pattern flashed crazily, and the energy flowing inside was operating to the extreme.
I don’t know how long it took, but the attack energy of the seventh gas was finally exhausted.
As a result, the gas transformed from this round of attacks dissipated between heaven and earth.
However, this round of attacks is extremely powerful, stronger than any previous round of attacks.
Under this round of attacks, the huge impact passed through the Bagua patterns on Xu Zhuo's body, and finally a large part of it was transmitted to Xu Zhuo's body.
So at this moment, Xu Zhuo's body was seen flying backwards.
While still in mid-air, Xu Zhuo's face turned white as snow, and the blood spit out from his mouth turned into a graceful arc, and finally spread on the ground, looking quite spectacular.
As a muffled sound came, Xu Zhuo, who was flying backwards, stopped.
Under him, a large human-shaped pit had already appeared, and Xu Zhuo was lying on his side in it.
Immediately afterwards, Xu Zhuo staggered up, with a look of horror on his face.
At this moment, Lin Tianyun, who was opposite him, witnessed all this, and his face finally showed a look of joy.
Under these rounds of attacks, Lin Tianyun used almost all his methods except the Sun Sword Qi Technique. It can be said that he exerted 100% of his power.
However, after so much effort, Xu Zhuo was finally severely injured and thus took the absolute initiative.
But speaking of it, Xu Zhuo's strength is indeed strong. Whether it is attack or defense, among the monks at the level of the middle stage of the Golden Core, he can definitely be regarded as the top one. Faced with Lin Tianyun's attack, Xu Zhuo only suffered serious injuries and showed no signs of collapse overall.
Although Lin Tianyun is confident enough in his own strength, he can also clearly understand this.
Understanding this, in order to defeat Xu Zhuo, Lin Tianyun would not waste the advantageous situation he had finally obtained.
So at the next moment, Lin Tianyun turned around and was once again ready to launch a new round of attacks.
According to Lin Tianyun's idea, he could take this opportunity to catch all the monster spirits in the clouds, thus giving Xu Zhuo a fatal blow.
With this mentality, Lin Tianyun was very decisive at this time.
At this time, Xu Zhuo, who was on the opposite side, watched Lin Tianyun take action again, his face also alternated between green and red.
However, although Xu Zhuo was frightened by Lin Tianyun's strength at this time, he was not completely panicked.
Therefore, Xu Zhuo forcibly suppressed the restlessness in his heart and calmed himself down.
At the same time, he was already weighing the situation in his mind.
After a brief thought, he thought that Lin Tianyun should be stronger than him.
As for himself, he has suffered heavy losses and his strength has been greatly reduced.
In addition, the spirits of the fourth-level monsters were exploded by Lin Tianyun, and the remaining spirits of the monsters were also trapped by the weird clouds.
In such a situation, if he continues to fight Lin Tianyun fiercely, not only will he not be able to get any advantage, he will also likely lose more means, thus exposing more means and trump cards.
In the end, not only did he get a defeat, but he was also likely to make his injuries more serious.
According to his opinion, these situations are completely likely to happen.
What's more, once he really fights for the first place, there is a high probability that he will offend Lin Tianyun and the entire Wei Guolin clan.
Furthermore, even if he really wins this battle, he may not be able to defend it.
After all, they are not the only two major forces competing for first place here.
For example, Xiao Pingfa of the Xiao family, Wang Minghong of the Long Qing Sect, or Liu Hongming of the Five Poison Sect are all staring at the first place and ready to make a move.
Under such fierce competition, even if he really defeated Lin Tianyun and temporarily won the first place, he would definitely suffer more serious injuries and expose more cards and tricks.
In the end, he will still have to face strong challenges from many sides.
At that time, it is impossible for him to withstand the rounds of battles based on his severely injured body and whether he has the bottom-up method as a basis.
In this case, there is absolutely no need for him to risk his death to make a wedding dress for others.
Moreover, there is a certain benefit to stopping it appropriately, that is, taking the opportunity to sell Lin Tianyun a favor.
He believed that Lin Tianyun, such a genius, would definitely be able to think of this.
And he voluntarily gave up the competition for the first place in the competition, but still retained a certain amount of strength to fight for the second place.
Anyway, there is only half a profit between the first place and the second place.
With the foundation of their Lieyang Sect, if they get second place, they can barely meet expectations.
Understanding this, Xu Zhuo has made up his mind at this time.
So when Lin Tianyun was about to burst out with an attack, Xu Zhuo cheered up and shouted at the first opportunity.
“Fellow Daoist Lin, I surrender!”
As soon as these words came out, they quickly reached Lin Tianyun’s ears.
At this time, Lin Tianyun was a little surprised when he heard this sentence.
In his opinion, although Xu Zhuo was seriously injured, the army of monster spirits he relied on was also trapped by his clouds.
But he knew in his heart that Xu Zhuo, as a veteran golden elixir monk of Lieyang Sect, had entered the golden elixir stage for nearly three hundred years, and many monks of the same level respected him and even tried their best to A third-level array mage who has no way to curry favor.
Judging from Xu Zhuo's background and background, he had a hunch in his heart that Xu Zhuo had not truly reached the desperate situation where his life was hanging by a thread.
In this case, if Xu Zhuo risked his life, he would definitely still be able to fight.
But Xu Zhuo seemed to have weighed the situation and finally took the initiative to admit defeat.
This result is somewhat different from what Lin Tianyun thought.
But no matter what, this is an unexpected surprise for Lin Tianyun.
After all, Xu Zhuo took the initiative to admit defeat. He could save some unnecessary shots and win this round of competition, thus temporarily ranking first.
This result is undoubtedly the best situation for him.
Understanding this, Lin Tianyun was forced to suppress the attack he was about to make.
Next, Lin Tianyun looked at Xu Zhuo opposite him, and saw that he was completely defenseless, and it was obvious that he had completely given up on the competition.
Seeing this situation, Lin Tianyun also laughed and said: "Fellow Daoist Xu is very powerful, but he can take the initiative to give in. On behalf of the Lin family, I am grateful!"
As soon as he finished speaking, Xu Zhuo was opposite Seeing Lin Tianyun's sincere face and his continuous admiration, he responded with a smile.
“Fellow Daoist Lin is so polite!”
"In my opinion, Fellow Daoist Lin is really a genius, and his strength is extremely powerful. I am really convinced that I have lost."
"Haha... Fellow Daoist Xu accepted it!"
Lin Tianyun responded with a smile, and then removed the clouds that trapped a large number of monster spirits.
When Xu Zhuo on the opposite side saw this situation, he quickly waved his hand and took back the many monster spirits into the Bagua pattern.
Xu Zhuo also took back all the small light groups that were transformed into the spirit of the fourth-order monsters.
After doing this, the sky and the earth returned to calm, and everything stopped.
At this time, when a group of golden elixir-level experts on the periphery saw Xu Zhuo voluntarily admitting defeat, their expressions were very complicated, and they didn't know what they were thinking in their hearts.
Those representatives with average backgrounds were fine, and they did not attach much importance to such results.
After all, they knew very well that in this competition among strong men, Lin Tianyun and Xu Zhuo were strong enough to rank among the top three.
If nothing else happens, the two of them will definitely achieve good results.
And looking at it this way, no matter who wins or loses, the top three places are destined to miss them.
In this case, no one cares who wins or loses between Lin Tianyun and Xu Zhuo.
No matter what, the outcome between these two top players does not conflict with their expected rankings.
Under such a mentality, those strong men who aimed at the middle ranking quickly accepted this result.
