Immortal Palace Longevity

I saw a man with thick eyebrows, big eyes, ordinary face, wearing yellow tights, walked out of the crowd and jumped lightly, landing steadily on the second fighting platform on the left.

He clasped his fists and bowed, and said loudly:

"I am Zhai Ning, and I am here to challenge Junior Brother Chang."

Zhai Ning's eyes flashed with a shrewd look, and he looked quite confident.

You have to pick the soft persimmons. With his late foundation building cultivation, he still has a great advantage in challenging Chang Haosi, who is in the middle stage of foundation building.

Although this man has a great reputation and is rumored to have defeated several late foundation building cultivators, reputation is false. Who knows if it is just a rumor?

He has seen many people who are just empty words!

"Stop talking nonsense and make a move!"

Chang Haosi snorted coldly and said coldly.

Being the first to be pointed out and challenged, he seemed to be regarded as a soft persimmon, which made his face a little ugly, so he naturally would not be polite.

"I'm sorry."

Zhai Ning was so rude, but he still maintained his demeanor and said politely. In his heart, he was determined to make the other party look bad.

Thinking of this, he smiled unconsciously.

Then Zhai Ning didn't waste any words, and directly made a seal with his hands. In less than a breath, he released two red flames with the outline of a dragon, roaring and entangled with the other party, launching a tentative attack.

It was the second-level low-grade spell Fire Dragon Technique!

Then he held up the defensive shield, shrunk to the size of his body, and at the same time sacrificed the defensive magic weapon, showing rich experience in fighting.

After doing this, he looked at the other party.

Facing the mere Fire Dragon Technique, Chang Haosi didn't take it seriously at all, and a contemptuous smile appeared at the corner of his mouth.

The sword hanging at his waist, which reached the level of a top-grade spiritual weapon, opened a gap in the scabbard slightly, and shot out two sword qi at will, and then there was no next move, obviously full of confidence.

The sword energy was a light silver-white color, small and refined, flying at a very fast speed, and it collided with the Fire Dragon Technique in the center of the fighting stage.

"Bang" "Bang"

Two loud noises spread throughout the square.

The sword energy and the Fire Dragon Technique were both annihilated, and the red flames fell on the fighting stage and soon extinguished and disappeared.

An expert knows whether it is effective or not as soon as he makes a move.

Seeing this, Zhai Ning's smile disappeared instantly, his face became solemn, and he had a bad premonition.

He was about to use the attack weapon to launch further tests.

"Clang"

But at this time, Chang Haosi moved, and with a clang, he drew out the long sword at his waist, and waved his arm six times in succession.

Six three-inch long silver-white sword energy slashed out in a row, shooting straight at the opponent, and crossed a distance of several feet in the blink of an eye.

He had no interest in going back and forth with him, testing his trump card and strength step by step.

He wanted to end the battle quickly, shock his fellow disciples in the audience, show his strength, and let others know that he was not easy to mess with.

This is the confidence of a sword cultivator!

"Bang bang bang......!"

Zhai Ning's face changed drastically when he saw this, and he hurriedly controlled the defensive magic weapon to resist. With all his strength, he finally resisted the attack.

Sword cultivators have always been excellent in attack, surpassing magic cultivators and physical cultivators. The outstanding ones are even stronger than cultivators who are one small realm higher than themselves.

It is precisely because of the advantage in attack that sword cultivators are more likely to fight against other cultivators. At the same time, many cultivators are also afraid to fight against them before they die.

Of course, the cross-level here refers to the small realm.

In Liu Yu's observation, after the two experienced the initial round of trials, under the leadership of Chang Haosi, the fight directly entered a fierce stage.

Facing a powerful offensive, Zhai Ning did not have much initiative. Most of the time, he could only passively defend and had little power to fight back.

Chang Haosi's sword is a top-grade spiritual weapon, while Zhai Ning's is only a top-grade magic weapon. There is a big gap between the two in this respect.

Anyone with a discerning eye can see the difference in strength between the two. It is only a matter of time before they are defeated.

"Brother Chang, please stop. I am willing to admit defeat."

Half a quarter of an hour later, Zhai Ning, who was already covered in dust and about to give up, shouted loudly.

This result was expected. After all, there was still a distance between the two in strength.

Chang Haosi stopped his attack after hearing this. He did not beat the fallen dog. He just looked at the other party coldly without saying a word, with a trace of disdain in his eyes.

With the supervision of the Jindan elder, although he wanted to teach the other party a lesson, he had to give up.

"Chang Haosi's attacks were one after another, and his sword energy was extremely sharp, leaving Zhai Ning no chance to breathe. Although the latter had a much deeper cultivation, he was not his opponent after all."

"It was mainly because of the quality difference between the two magic weapons."

"If Zhai Ning had a top-grade defensive magic weapon that could withstand the opponent's fierce attack, it might be possible to turn defeat into victory."

"After all, the consumption of such a powerful attack could not be too small."

In the crowd, Liu Yu watched the fight expressionlessly, analyzing the strengths and weaknesses of both sides in his mind.

He even imagined how he would deal with it if he were in their place.

In the end, he concluded that if he did not use the talisman, he would have a 70% chance of winning the battle.

After all, his Thick Earth Umbrella was much better than Zhai Ning's defensive magic weapon, and he could also use the Lixuan Sword and the Netherworld Soul-breaking Cone, two top-grade magic weapons.

Moreover, the magic power after being refined by the magic fire is far more refined than that of the average cultivator in the middle stage of foundation building. Even if he has also practiced top-grade techniques, at least he will not be at a disadvantage in terms of cultivation and magic power.

Compared to Chang Haosi, who is strong in attack but weak in defense, he is more balanced and has no obvious shortcomings.

Of course, if he encounters him in the wild, he can use the Shocking Spirit Thorn, and this confidence can be increased to more than 80%.

The secret technique of spiritual attack is extremely rare, and Liu Yu has not seen any cultivator use it so far.

Under the eyes of many Jindan elders, he dare not use it, so as not to attract the covetousness of high-level cultivators.

Of course, confidence is only confidence after all. The battle changes rapidly, and the victory or defeat can only be known after the fight.

With Zhai Ning as the background, Chang Haosi's strength is fully revealed.

The Yuanyang Sect cultivators who witnessed the whole process also discussed and reacted differently.

Although the voices of these discussions were small, how sensitive are the hearing of the foundation-building cultivators? So it is no different from shouting loudly.

"Brother Chang's strength is indeed incomparable. If it were me, I'm afraid I wouldn't be able to handle the Five Lights. The name of the Sudden Rain Sword is well-deserved."

"Is this the strength of sword cultivators? It is indeed more outstanding than the traditional magic cultivators in terms of attack."

"It's just a trick, nothing more than that."

There are people in the crowd who are amazed and admired. Most of them are cultivators in the early and middle stages of foundation building. Because of their great strength, they don't have the desire to compare.

There are people who compare secretly. Most of these cultivators are above the middle stage of foundation building, and they think they are extraordinary. Some of them want to compete for the position of leader and have regarded him as an imaginary opponent.

There are people who disdain. There are very few cultivators in this part. They are either the three heroes and four heroes, or one of the twelve people appointed by the elders.

No matter how the cultivators in the audience look at it, it can't change the fact that Zhai Ning, who is in the late stage of foundation building, was defeated. It also makes many cultivators realize the gap in strength and extinguish some unrealistic thoughts.

But these could not stop those cultivators who were strong and really wanted to compete for the position of leader. Several of them walked out of the crowd and came to the fighting stage to challenge.

"I am Mei Zhengchu, please teach me, Senior Sister Li!"

"I am Hao Meng from Zhuqingshan, please help me, Senior Brother Ma!"

"I am Wei Xiaoqin from Minxiufeng, please..."

There was only half a day, but it could not withstand consumption. After someone took the lead, four or five cultivators stood up and challenged the twelve fighting stages.

After each challenge, the "champion" on the fighting stage would take a short time to rest and restore his mana, so no cultivator would challenge Chang Haosi again for the time being.

None of these cultivators had the third senior brother Jing Yongqing.

Liu Yu glanced and found that he was still standing in the crowd calmly, and he didn't seem to be anxious at all.

"This person is very patient."

Liu Yu's mouth moved, but he didn't plan to take action now, after all, there were still more than five hours.

His ideal situation was that after all twelve fighting platforms had been challenged, he would more or less understand the methods of the "master" and then choose a relatively easy one to deal with.

In this way, a lot of effort would be saved.

Facing the challenge of the fellow disciples below the stage, the masters of the stage certainly could not refuse, so the two sides did not waste too much time, and after a few polite words, they started to fight fiercely.

"Ding Ding", "Bang Bang", "Pu Chi"

For a time, the sound of the collision of magic weapons, spiritual weapons, and spells was endless.

In order to save time, five fights were carried out on five fighting platforms at the same time, and ten cultivators fought fiercely on the stage, which made the cultivators below the stage dazzled.

Some cultivators were shocked, as if they had opened the door to a new world.

After seeing the strength of one of the twelve people appointed by the elders, most of the cultivators with insufficient strength had been persuaded to retreat. The remaining ones who still dared to challenge were not easy to deal with.

At this time, if you still challenge, at least you have some confidence in your heart that your strength will not be too weak.

Therefore, the battles on the stage seemed to be evenly matched, and neither side showed signs of defeat at the first time.

Top-grade spiritual weapons, second-level spells, spiritual beasts and pets, superb fighting skills, and various incredible reversals, all kinds of means emerged one after another, which benefited many monks who witnessed it.

Liu Yu observed everything calmly, his eyes wandering between the various battle stages, taking in all the battle situations.

He calmly analyzed the situation of these monks in his heart, paying attention to every detail of the two warring parties, trying to choose a "suitable" opponent from them.

Ordinary monks were still immersed in the fierce confrontation between their senior brothers and sisters on the battle stage, the amazing power of the collision between magic weapons and spiritual weapons, and the variety and superb control of spells.

And those who were interested were already choosing suitable opponents and preparing for their own performance.

In the wonderful battle, the speed of time passing seemed to have become much faster.

An hour later, with the defeat of Zhu Qingshan Hao Meng, the challenge of the second batch of five monks also came to an end.

Except for Wei Xiaoqin from Minxiu Peak, the other four all lost.

The winner becomes the "champion", standing proudly on the fighting stage to recover his magic power, while the loser can only leave the stage sadly and lick his wounds silently.

However, even if they failed, they also showed their outstanding strength, so no one dared to underestimate them.

Anyway, most of the foundation-building cultivators of the sects knew them because of this, which was a small fame, and it was not a complete loss.

Five of the six challenged and lost, and only one succeeded.

It must be said that when this result came out, it did hit the "morale" a bit.

Because all the challengers have strengths equivalent to ordinary late-stage foundation-building cultivators at least, which has surpassed most of the sect disciples. Among the huge group of foundation-building cultivators in Yuanyang Sect, they are also in the upper echelons.

From this aspect, it can be seen that the twelve people appointed by the elders have their merits, and they are not just in this position because of "relationships" or "connections".

At least they are strong enough.

For a while, no cultivator stood up to challenge.

Liu Yu's eyes were as calm as water, and he was still waiting patiently, looking through the surface phenomena to see the essence.

He believed that there would be no shortage of cultivators in the square who thought like him.

A truly powerful cultivator would never stop because of difficulties.

The height of a fountain will never exceed its source. The strength of a cultivator is often proportional to whether he is strong inside.

This blow will not stump a truly determined person.

The more times you fight, the more strength you will show, and the more you will be known by other cultivators, making it easier to target.

The trump card is the most deterrent when it is not played, and it can make the enemy cultivators afraid to act rashly, and it is often the most effective.

He has reason to suspect that among the fellow disciples present there are hidden cards of the other four major sects of Chu State, or spies of the sect of Yan State.

Liu Yu himself has no obvious shortcomings, and is not afraid of being targeted. He does not want to fight more often, but he does not want to reveal too many trump cards.

In this case, it is most appropriate to take action in the fifth or sixth hour, and the remaining time after success is only enough for one fight.

The excellent and elite monks who want to become the leader of the Qingfeng team are only a part of them, and there are also some who choose to give up because they know that their strength is not enough.

Therefore, the monks who participate in the competition for the leader position are not as many as most monks imagine, and even half of the twelve fighting platforms are not fighting at the same time.

After the second round of the challenge of five monks, the scene was slightly quiet for about half a quarter of an hour, and then monks attacked the fighting platform one after another.

…

Unconsciously, the time came to the fifth hour, and there were only two hours left before the half day stipulated by the elders.

What made many cultivators regretful was that in the first four hours, only Wei Xiaoqin succeeded in the challenge and became the new champion.

The rest of the people all ended in failure.

"It's time."

This thought flashed through Liu Yu's mind.

After this period of observation, he has found a suitable target and has a basic understanding of the target, and the time is almost up.

Liu Yu, dressed in a black robe, had a calm face. He nodded slightly to Jiang Qiushui, Yan Kai, and Cui Liang, and then walked out of the crowd.

He came to the third fighting platform on the right and jumped up lightly.
