Chapter 202: The Momentary Killing of Tendrils B (Second update asking for votes!)
This round of battle on the morning of the first day was exciting for the Chonghua faction.
Although everyone was full of momentum and energy before, but from the bottom of their hearts, everyone was still a little uneasy.
If someone dares to challenge, are they unprepared?
My side can spend 6,000 spirit stones to learn their details, wouldn’t others learn about their situation in the same way?
Six thousand spirit stones are nothing to a sect or family, and it is even less important to the performance of a sect or family in a major event such as the Taoist Fair.
It is worthwhile for these sects and aristocratic families to even spend several times more spiritual stones to understand and spy on deeper intelligence.
According to the judgments of Li Yu, Xu Muyang, Wang Yao and others, the result of half victory or defeat, or even four defeats and three wins, should be acceptable.
But I didn’t expect it to be four wins, one draw and two losses.
This result has exceeded expectations and is gratifying.
In particular, Chen Huaisheng, Yuan Wenbo, and Zhuo's team solved the battle cleanly, which greatly increased everyone's confidence.
But the competition in the afternoon will be more intense.
Xu Tianfeng, Yao Liwei, Zhao Sitian, Chen Huaisheng, Yuan Wenbo, and Tong Tong will all continue to play.
The afternoon race starts at two o'clock (two thirty).
Chen Huaisheng was the first to appear, while the others were ranked three games later.
Chen Huaisheng believed that his opponent Mao Kefeng of Baishimen should have already known the result of Copper in the morning.
But knowing, knowing, the reason why Copper lost control and fell to power is probably still a mystery to them.
The supervising Taoist master may know something, but he may not be sure, and Baishimen may not be able to find out.
Copper himself understood it, but he would never tell anyone else.
This is the first time Chen Huaisheng has faced someone from Baishimen.
The history of Huozhou Baishimen is not short, it is six or seven hundred years old. However, in the past hundred years, Baishimen has grown rapidly in Huozhou. Especially in the past thirty years, its power has grown by leaps and bounds.
The number of disciples increased from less than 200 in the first year of Jingzhen to nearly 500 in the 27th year of Jingzhen.
For a sect, recruiting disciples is very simple. The number of Taoist types born every year in various places is quite large, even innate Taoist types. As long as they are willing to recruit, it is not a problem.
But you have to select outstanding enough disciples, and then provide them with ample skills, spiritual materials, spiritual stones, and training and experience opportunities, so that they can steadily mature into talents, and then they need to bloom enough. Genius, that is not a simple matter.
You recruit 300 more disciples, the cost is so huge, but if they fail to produce enough high-level Qi refining and foundation building, and most of them are reduced to early-level Qi refining disciples, then you To expand and grow is to be puffy and fat, and to be a failure.
What's more, Baishi Sect is not only very aggressive in recruiting disciples, but also very relaxed in absorbing guests into the sect.
Absorbing guests into the sect is a double-edged sword, everyone knows this.
It is not easy to establish a sense of belonging, and you may leave at any time, especially when facing a crisis.
Secondly, the cost is quite huge.
Ke Qing is basically a character above Foundation Establishment. They can live a very prosperous life wherever they go. They can even be kings and hegemons in borderlands. People are willing to come, be restrained by others, and even have to bear responsibilities. If you have the obligation to go out to fight, you will naturally have to be generous.
The spiritual land, the cave, the spiritual materials, and even the salary need to be paid, which is not a small expense after all.
The Chonghua faction is quite conservative in this regard and is basically unwilling to recruit such guest officials unless there is a real opportunity and the conditions are suitable.
The effects of Baishimen's two very radical strategies are quite intuitive. The number of disciples has skyrocketed, and the high-end combat power (foundation building) has increased significantly. From the first year of Jingzhen, it has been on par with the Chonghua sect. Up and down, but according to the latest intelligence, the number of people building foundations (including Ke Qing) has reached 26, twice that of the Chonghua sect.
Of course, this does not mean that having more foundation-building spiritual skills will guarantee victory, but this is the most realistic manifestation of realistic combat power.
Once a full-scale war breaks out, excluding the influence of magic weapons, spiritual talismans, spiritual beasts and other factors that are additional combat power, one more foundation can kill ten times the number of junior and middle-level Qi refining disciples in an instant, and solve several times your number. High-level Qi refining is no problem.
Doubling the amount of foundation building can almost completely eliminate all possibilities.
It can be said that if there is no news that the leader has entered Dengzi Mansion, and the Jiulian Sect is unwilling to intervene with all its strength, Chen Huaisheng has made up his mind to take Fang Baoqi and Hu Delu with him if the situation goes bad. Run away for your life.
It is not because he is ruthless and unrighteous to the sect, but because of reality.
Of course he will also remind Tong Tong, Yuan Wenbo and Cai Jinyang, and will also make suggestions to Wu Tianen.
But he will never go out and seek death by hitting an egg against a stone on the grounds of loyalty even though he knows that something cannot be done.
Even now, Chen Huaisheng is still a little worried, so he will try his best to show his strength in this Taoist meeting, and even will not hesitate to provide Longyi support to Zhao Sitian, so that Zhao Sitian can also fight well.
The leader has entered Deng Zi Mansion, but the leader of Baishi Clan has also entered Deng Zi Mansion. Our side also does not have the advantage, but with the presence of Zi Mansion Xianqing on our side, Baishi Clan will be a little more scrupulous. That’s all.
The only hope is to see if they can perform well in this Taoist meeting, so that when the Jiulian Sect is forced to abandon its son, it will give priority to preserving the Chonghua Sect and abandon the Lingyun Sect.
All kinds of thoughts flashed through Chen Huaisheng's mind. When he came on the stage to face his opponent, he felt calm.
Resolving the battle in the shortest time is his only belief now.
He could show some mercy to Copper, or even give him a job, but he would not show any mercy to the people of Baishimen.
“In this battle, Baishimen Qi Refining Level 4 Mao Kefeng challenges Chonghua Sect Qi Refining Level 4 Chen Huaisheng..., do you understand the rules clearly?”
Chen Huaisheng He nodded, but saw that Mao Kefeng stepped forward and approached the supervising Taoist master and said a few words.
The battle supervisor frowned and raised his voice: "Let me reiterate, if you two want to drive demons, corpses, puppets, and spiritual beasts, you must inform them in advance before the game, otherwise You must be punished directly, do you understand! Mao Kefeng wants to exorcise the demon soul, Chen Huaisheng, what about you?"
Chen Huaisheng was confused, but he saw the look in his eyes. , and immediately understood.
Does the other party want to drive away demons? Does he suspect that he also drove away demons in the previous battle?
I felt happy, this was a good way to divert the other party's attention. Chen Huaisheng pretended to hesitate, but finally muttered: "No need."
His behavior also caused a lot of confusion. The Taoist Supervisor was suspicious, but since Chen Huaisheng refused to admit it, he only needed to monitor carefully, and quietly found an evil-suppressing talisman in his hand.
As for things like demons and ghosts, ordinary Taoist masters do not have much contact with them, but it is really difficult to deal with them with ordinary swordsmanship and spells. Only evil-suppressing and evil-repelling charms are the most effective.
Mao Kefeng has stated that he wants to drive away demons and ghosts, but Chen Huaisheng refuses to admit it. He obviously wants to use sneak attacks, but this is against the rules.
But maybe this guy thinks he can use covert means to cover it up?
As the Taoist controlling the field left with a light leap in the middle of the earth platform, the Taoist supervising the battle shouted: "Start!" The two sides immediately started.
Chen Huaisheng’s spiritual consciousness had already been activated one step ahead of schedule.
Since the effect of the nine-color deer antler powder was combined with the changes caused by the three spirits entering the body, Chen Huaisheng felt that his spiritual consciousness had undergone some changes, becoming more keen, profound and Meticulous.
That vague and mysterious feeling is difficult to describe in words. If I must say it, it means that my vision, smell, premonition and spiritual awareness have all evolved to a higher level, and they are perfectly combined, and then I can Get a richer, deeper and more intuitive experience.
This kind of feeling often has no more basis to support it. It is just a kind of induction. In other words, this is because my Taishang induction technique has truly integrated with my body and is no longer a spell. , is not just a premonition of the future, but has become a perception of the future, the outside world, the enemy, and everything.
Facing his opponent, Chen Huaisheng activated this supreme sensing technique as soon as he came up.
The feedback was not too beyond his expectation. It was a typical fourth level of Qi refining, golden spiritual roots, and extremely powerful magic cultivation techniques, but there was no mention of the opponent being able to exorcise demon spirits.
This information obviously fails to understand the true level of this guy.
Chen Huaisheng thought it was more than that before.
If such a mediocre spiritual practice is regarded as a powerful character that can be challenged by Baishimen, then it would be too underestimated by Baishimen. Now people are shouting that Daoming is going to exorcise the demon souls. This is in line with the situation. sense.
Nothing will be known until you see it.
When the supervising Taoist master shouted out, Chen Huaisheng jumped out of the ground and volleyed into the air. The Yitian Sword danced wildly in the air like a green dragon, and the combo of aiki attacks bloomed instantly.
Haoran Qingming’s energy formed a tornado, sweeping across the entire earth platform and going away mightily.
The opponent stood erect, facing the roaring mountains of sword energy, and kept pushing him in front of him. Then he smiled proudly and lightly traced his finger in the air.
A silver-white shield wall was suddenly established, blocking the mountains of sword waves.
The sword wave roared and struck, and the shield wall clanged.
As the firelight sputtered, the shield wall rushed like a giant tortoise, suddenly turning into two, and then two turned into four, four turned into eight, eight turned into sixteen,..., vast and vast, turned into A huge square dense shield formation was constantly colliding and intersecting with each other, firmly surrounding Chen Huaisheng, and squeezing towards the middle.
Hey! Whisper! Whisper! Whisper!
Chen Huaisheng's Yitian Sword was continuously compressed during the impact. The swordsman and the magic sword were unable to break through this strange metal shield array.
Chen Huaisheng realized something was wrong at the first moment. It was incredible that his combo attack could not break through the opponent's magic shield wall.
Both are at the fourth level of Qi Refining, and the skill of sword cultivation that he has released to the extreme is actually trapped to death by the opponent's spell. It is obviously impossible, it can only be a magic weapon.
But I didn’t see the magic weapon activated before.
But before the opponent waved, Chen Huaisheng saw the strange runes and diamond-shaped arm shields on the wrist guards of the opponent's arms.
I see.
This man hid the magic treasure in his sleeve and used runes to strengthen it. He thought that the other party would actually use a golden spell to activate it, but he did not expect that the other party would actually use the spell in the magic weapon. This He also planned to solve himself in one fell swoop.
"Hey!"
Obviously aware of the crisis facing Chen Huaisheng, Lingxiu roared suddenly, pointed his hands forward, and looming runes floated out in the air. Continuously attached to the magic shield, the magic shield suddenly grew in size, and the demon cat pattern on the shield began to change.
“Ouch!”
The phantom of a cat suddenly jumped out from the shield and went straight towards Chen Huaisheng's throat.
Chen Huaisheng's expression remained unchanged, and he had already taken out a evil-fixing talisman in his left hand, "Quick!"
I saw the light and shadow in the evil-fixing talisman in his hand moving, turning into thousands, urgent Run out.
Just as the shadows of dozens of demon cats had time to escape from the shield, they were hit by these lights and shadows. They hissed and screamed, and suddenly turned into phantoms and disappeared in the air.
Mao Kefeng sneered.
He was not a disciple of Baishi Sect, or rather a disciple who grew up in Baishi Sect. He only entered Baishi Sect when he was thirty years old.
It was precisely because the nine-star spotted cats were abundant near the Yin Pond in the Baishimen Mountain Gate that he was willing to join. The condition was that there must be enough demon cats for him to practice.
He wanted to see how many evil charms this guy had.
My art of expelling demon souls is practiced with nine-headed nine-star spotted cats. Each demon cat has ninety-nine and eighty-one souls, and the nine-headed demon cat is seven hundred and twenty-nine demon souls, which is enough Swallow everything.
Chen Huaisheng did not expect that the other party would have so many demon souls available, and even the more than ten evil-fixing talismans he had hidden could not sustain the consumption.
As countless demon souls rushed toward him, the body-protecting spiritual power had no power to stop them.
Although it is just the Yinxu soul shadow, which does no harm to my body, it is consuming the spiritual power in my body.
Is this battle really going to be lost?
Chen Huaisheng cannot accept it.
He didn't believe that he would actually be defeated by a Baishi disciple who was also at the fourth level of Qi Refining.
He simply threw the evil-fixing talisman together, held the sword in both hands and activated it again. The surging sword energy violently hit the shield array swarming from all sides, making a heart-piercing metal collision sound.
At the moment when a gap appeared in the shield formation, Chen Huaisheng gently touched the bulging bag at his waist with the tip of his elbow, and a miniature version of the fire wheel thorn came out of the bag lightly. The flying shot crossed the gap in the shield formation.
Everyone in the audience was attracted by this wonderful battle.
I actually saw a very rare soul-conquering technique, and it was the soul of a monster!
Mao Kefeng discovered the approaching fire wheel thorn immediately.
Although he was not sure what kind of thing it was, it was even more dangerous to sneak out through the shield array quietly, and not to run towards him, but to get into the air, circle and fly, and choose the opportunity to move.
Seeing the Fire Wheel Thorn in place, Chen Huaisheng did not dare to delay.
At this time, my spiritual power was rapidly depleted. Hundreds of demon cat souls were surrounding me, biting and devouring me. In a few breaths, my spiritual power would be exhausted. When the shield array is closed, if I control the field, If the Taoist master were just a little slower, he might be crushed into a meat pie.
Just when he was about to launch the Fire Wheel Sting, he felt a slight movement in the Danhai Cauldron, and the resentful spirit roared out.
