Seeking Immortality

It's like the wind blowing through the flowers, bringing out a shower of flowers. The delicate flowers flew rapidly towards the four stone puppets, bringing with them dizzying beauty and danger hidden deep beneath.

The moment Li Yuhan saw the flowers that Xu Qingfan suddenly conjured, he subconsciously sensed the danger. However, when he wanted to direct the stone puppet 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 explosive flames began to flash on the stone puppet, bringing out bursts of smoke. The petals fell one after another in the explosion, but there was another beautiful shower of petals.

Unfortunately, Li Yuhan was in no mood to appreciate the beauty in front of him at this time. At the moment when those beautiful and dangerous flowers exploded, Li Yuhan felt his mind was shaken, the earth spirit energy in his body was chaotic, and his face instantly turned pale. He knew that this was the backlash he received as the master after the stone puppet was hurt.

When the smoke cleared 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 "squeaking" sound sounded, and the cracks on the four rock puppets were seen growing larger and deeper. As those cracks quickly spread and connected together, the stone puppet began to collapse, breaking into pieces of rocks of different sizes scattered throughout the arena. After a while, the broken rocks turned into earthy yellow earth spiritual energy and dissipated between the sky and the earth.

It was only then that the surrounding crowd reacted and let out bursts of exclamation. The elder who was the referee also looked at Xu Qingfan with strange eyes. Obviously, he did not know what method Xu Qingfan used.

"What a terrifying Taoist technique. Those four rock puppets were shattered so easily."

"This Taoist technique is so beautiful and very powerful."

"Senior brother, you are also a wood-type immortal cultivator. Do you know this Taoist technique?"

"I have never heard of this kind of Taoism. It has such obvious features and such great power. I should know about it, right?"

Listening to the exclamations and comments from the crowd under the stone platform, a wry smile appeared on Xu Qingfan's lips. He knew that he would become famous from now on, but unfortunately this was not what he wanted.

"Exploding flame flowers, those were explosive flame flowers just now." Li Yuhan stared blankly at the petals and gravel scattered on the ground, and suddenly said.

"It is indeed the Explosive Flame Flower, Yu Han, you are so knowledgeable." After hearing Li Yuhan's words, Xu Qingfan responded with a faint smile.

"It should be said that your Taoism, uncle, is very strange." What surprised Xu Qingfan was that Li Yuhan could still laugh when he spoke at this time.

"After the stone puppet was shattered by me just now, you must have suffered a backlash, right? Now you can't even maintain the earth-binding technique. You can't limit my speed. Is there any point in continuing this game? Just give up. ”

Some people, although they are opponents, you just can't have a bad feeling towards them. And Li Yuhan is undoubtedly this kind of person. So Xu Qingfan looked at his pale face and couldn't help but persuade him.

"Some things, once you've decided on something and have a goal, you should stick to it, right?" Li Yuhan just smiled indifferently.

"Okay, let's continue." Xu Qingfan said helplessly when he saw Li Yuhan's persistence.

As he spoke, Xu Qingfan's hands and fingers kept changing like magic. Countless young grasses with the shape of flying knives reflecting metallic light appeared on the tips of Xu Qingfan's fingers. As Xu Qingfan kept waving his hands, he shot towards Li Yuhan rapidly. go.

"Blade grass?" Li Yuhan said softly.

For a moment, Li Yuhan felt that everywhere he looked, green grass was flying towards him. But Li Yuhan didn't think that shooting these seemingly delicate green leaves on his body would be much better than cutting him with a knife. So he hurriedly pointed out, and saw another thick and wide rock wall suddenly blocked in front of him, blocking the attacks of those blade grasses. Grass and rocks hit each other, splashing up bursts of gray stone. In the end, although the rock wall was scraped with deep scratches by these blade grasses, all the blade grasses were blocked to the ground.

While Xu Qingfan fired hundreds of sword grasses, he followed the blade grasses and rushed towards Li Yuhan. The speed was so fast that he even left afterimages behind him.

But when Xu Qingfan bypassed the sudden stone wall and came to Li Yuhan, ready to grab him and throw him out of the field, he discovered that bursts of white light suddenly appeared under Li Yuhan's feet. After the light dissipated, a white boat appeared. Under his feet, it was the flying magic weapon that Xu Qingfan saw for the first time, dragging Li Yuhan up into the sky quickly, and Xu Qingfan's hand grabbing his collar flew away.

"Uncle Master's Taoism is indeed mysterious." Li Yuhan stepped on the white boat and lowered his head in mid-air to Xu Qingfan and whispered softly: "I feel ashamed that I have to borrow the power of the magic weapon. Don't be surprised, Uncle Master."

"The magic weapon is also part of your strength. There is nothing strange about it." Xu Qingfan looked up at Li Yuhan, who was standing quietly in mid-air, and said lightly. Although he said this, he was very upset in his heart that he had forgotten that Li Yuhan also had a flying magic weapon. In this way, he would be at a disadvantage if he did not have the right time and place.

"Uncle, it's good if you think so." Li Yuhan nodded and said with a chuckle. At the same time, he took out a small khaki triangular flag from his sleeve, with a pattern of flying sand and stones drawn on it, and explained to Xu Qingfan: "This is the only magical weapon that this junior has besides the 'White Cloud Boat' under his feet. It's called 'Falling Stone Flag' is pretty powerful, so be careful, Master."

As he spoke, Li Yuhan waved the small flag very slowly, as if the flag was very heavy. Then, the boulder drawn on the flag suddenly became animated, and a boulder larger than a millstone flew directly out of the flag and hit Xu Qinghan quickly.

Seeing this boulder weighing several thousand kilograms falling towards him, Xu Qingfan was slightly startled, but he quickly moved his body without hesitation to avoid the attack range of the boulder.

"Boom~~~" As the boulder fell from mid-air, the earth shook violently. Small cracks appeared on the stone platform where the boulder fell, and loud sounds echoed between the sky and the earth. Among the onlookers, many with lower skill levels almost lost their footing and fell to the ground, which shows how powerful the boulder was when it fell to the ground.

When Xu Qingfan had just dodged three feet away from the boulder, another boulder hit him. In desperation, Xu Qingfan had to dodge again. But these huge rocks seemed to be endless, and they kept falling towards Xu Qingfan.

As the boulders continued to fall, the momentum of the competition on Stone Platform No. 5 became stronger and stronger. The whole earth was shaking like an earthquake, and the loud sound when the boulder fell to the ground seemed to resound throughout the entire Jiuhua Mountain, attracting many bystanders who were originally watching the duel around other stone platforms to come here.

The new audience looked at Li Yuhan, who was riding a white boat and constantly waving triangular flags, knocking down thousands of kilograms of boulders, and Xu Qingfan, who was dodging quickly on the stone platform and leaving behind a series of afterimages. They couldn't help but be stunned. These were still cultivators in the Bigu stage. A battle between them? The strength is almost as good as that of Jin Qinghan and Feng Qingtian, the two outstanding figures of Jiuhua Sect who are famous throughout Jiuhua Sect.

Off the field, on the top of a giant tree, stood a fat, fat man with a kind face, always smiling and squinting his small eyes. But what's strange is that such a huge figure seems to have no weight standing at the top of the tree. The top of the tree does not even bend, but only sways slightly in the wind.

Next to him, there was a middle-aged monk standing quietly in mid-air with a feather-like magic weapon on his feet. It was Sheng Yushan, another immortal cultivator who had welcomed Master Lu Huayan and Xu Qingfan with Li Yuhan, looking at the scene on the field with a solemn expression.

"Yushan, who do you think will win between the two of them?" The fat man asked Sheng Yushan next to him with a smile.

"I don't know, the two of them have the same skill. Master Xu's Taoism is mysterious and his figure is weird; while Yu Han has rich experience and powerful magic weapons. The victory or defeat is only between two." Sheng Yushan said lightly.

"Oh? I thought you would say that Li Yuhan would win. After all, Xu Qingfan defeated your brother Sheng Yuji in the last match, and Li Yuhan is also your close friend." The fat man still said with a smile, not at all because of Sheng Yushan's Cold and angry.

"Hope is hope and facts are facts."

"But I really didn't expect that these two fellow sects who both have the ability to break into the top five would meet now. Isn't it true that the legend sect has secretly assigned these seeded players to different arenas?" Fatty said strangely.

"I guess the higher-ups in the sect think that Xu Qingfan is not well-known, and Li Yuhan is a disciple of the 'Yu' generation, so they think their strength is low. After all, the most famous person on the fifth stone platform is Uncle Dongfang Qingling." Sheng Yushan said with a slightly mocking expression.

"But I think Xu Qingfan has a better chance of winning this time." After a moment of silence, the fat man suddenly laughed.

"How to say?" Sheng Yushan asked.

"Li Yuhan had suffered a Taoist backlash just now after his rock puppet was smashed, and suffered serious internal injuries. Now he can no longer even maintain the 'Earth Binding Technique', which shows that the spiritual energy in his body is damaged. How serious it is. Although the attack power of the 'Falling Stone Flag' is powerful, it also consumes spiritual energy very quickly. Moreover, he has to maintain the 'White Cloud Boat' under his feet at the same time, and the spiritual energy in his body will be exhausted soon. Although Xu Qingfan is hiding in a panic, the spiritual energy in his body has not been consumed much. Therefore, when Li Yuhan's spiritual energy is exhausted, he will fail." The fat man said, with a look of regret on his face. smell.

"Not necessarily." Sheng Yushan retorted. "Although Yu Han's spiritual energy is seriously damaged now, haven't you noticed? As the boulders continue to fall, Xu Qingfan has less and less room to escape. Maybe before Yu Han's spiritual energy is exhausted, he has already Lost. What's more, with Yu Han's close mind, wouldn't he have discovered his disadvantage? I think he should have found a way to deal with it by now."

"Then let's wait and see." The fat man didn't refute, just said with a smile.

At this time, Xu Qingfan also discovered that the situation was gradually developing in a direction that was unfavorable to him. As more and more boulders fell to the ground, Xu Qingfan also found that his hiding space became smaller and smaller. If this continues, sooner or later he will be hit by a boulder because he has no room to escape. Looking at the power of this boulder, Xu Qingfan knew that once he was hit, he would fall into a place of eternal destruction.

"We can't go on like this." Xu Qingfan frowned and muttered to himself while avoiding the boulders falling towards him. "It's time to make some changes."

As he spoke, Xu Qingfan saw blue and gray lights flashing between his eyes, and fluffy white flowers continued to appear on his fingertips, with a faint mist exuding from each flower.

It is the exotic flower that can emit dense fog with its flower body - fog flower.

Whenever Xu Qingfan's fingertips turned into several mist flowers, Xu Qingfan would throw them to the ground. In this way, Xu Qingfan was dodging the boulders falling from the sky while throwing away the mist. As more and more fog flowers fell to the ground on the stone platform, the fog on the entire No. 5 stone platform became thicker and thicker. Finally, Xu Qingfan's figure completely disappeared in this fog.

After Li Yuhan discovered this change, he also stopped waving the magical weapon 'Falling Stone Flag' 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 'Falling Stone Flag' and knocked down several boulders into the mist. The mist surged as the earth shook, but there was no sign that the mist was about to be dispersed.

In desperation, Li Yuhan could only stop in mid-air and wait quietly, waiting for the fog shrouding the stone platform to dissipate on its own.

As time goes by, the fog only gets thicker and thicker, with no intention of dissipating. Just when the audience couldn't help but booed and Li Yuhan was getting impatient, something happened! !

I saw a huge green tree suddenly burst out of the fog, and rushed not far from Li Yuhan's feet in the blink of an eye. As if time was fast forwarding, in just a few breaths the tree had grown to a height that would have taken decades. Xu Qingfan was standing at the top of the tree. With a wave of his hand, several dark green vines quickly shot out from his arms like snakes and wrapped around Li Yuhan who had not yet reacted.

Then Xu Qingfan waved his arm wrapped around Qingteng, and Li Yuhan fell off the Baiyun boat after losing his balance. He fell heavily outside the ring.

"Huh~~~ I finally won." Xu Qingfan let out a light breath. He worked really hard to win this game. First, he used fog to block his figure, then transformed into a "hundred-year-old tree" that grew extremely fast, holding him close to Li Yuhan in the air, and finally used an "iron vine" to tie up Li Yuhan and swing him off the field. It can be said that it took a lot of effort.

Jumping gently from the tree and landing on the ground, Xu Qingfan first withdrew the fog flowers and dispersed the fog, then looked at the elder as the referee, waiting for him to announce his victory. What made Xu Qingfan strange was that the elder just looked at him with strange eyes, but did not announce his victory for a long time.

"Is it because the magical power of "Kurong Jue" he cultivated made him feel strange?" Xu Qingfan secretly guessed.

Off the field.

"It's over." Sheng Yushan also let out 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 sounded from the field.

"Spiritual stone coffin!!"

Just when Xu Qingfan was secretly sighing, the rocks around Xu Qingfan suddenly bulged rapidly and instantly turned into big palms on all sides, burying Xu Qingfan firmly in the ground without leaving a trace of breath. Before being buried in the ground, Xu Qingfan glanced at Li Yuhan, who was thrown out of the field by him. He was surprised to see that Li Yuhan's body had turned into a stone statue that looked like him and shattered to the ground, but it was just a stand-in.

It was only then that Li Yuhan's true figure slowly emerged in the corner of the stone platform.

"A good plan and a good method." The fat man outside the venue sighed, stroking his palms: "First use the 'Stone Statue Substitution Technique' to transform into your own image and stand on the 'White Cloud Boat', and then secretly land on the corner of the stone platform and use ' He used the invisibility technique to hide his figure, and finally defeated Xu Qingfan with the 'Spiritual Stone Coffin' when he thought he had won. It seems that when it comes to the final sixteen, I will have to be careful when I meet him."

"Thank you for the compliment." Sheng Yushan said with a smile on his plain expression.

"I'm not complimenting you."

"Li Yuhan and I are as close as brothers. If you praise him, you praise me." Sheng Yushan said lightly.

On the court, Li Yuhan's pale face showed a faint smile, but it was a little bitter. He finally won this game, at the cost of showing all his trump cards, and his spiritual energy was severely depleted, and it would be difficult to recover within a few days. Especially at the last moment, he not only had to maintain the 'White Cloud Boat' at the same time, but also had to perform the 'Stone Statue Substitution Technique', and at the same time perform the 'Invisibility Technique' on himself, which put a huge burden on him. Finally, he used the intermediate and high-level Taoist technique 'Spiritual Stone Coffin', which consumed the last trace of spiritual energy in his body. It was a disastrous failure.

But the game was won anyway.

"The winner is..." The elders on the sidelines also thought that Li Yuhan had won. When the result was about to be announced, something strange happened again.

I saw cracks slowly and slowly appearing where Xu Qingfan was covered by the earth, and there was a "squeaking" sound of cracking stones. In the horrified eyes of everyone, hundreds of green bamboos suddenly emerged from the ground. Although the ground shattered when the green bamboo emerged, Xu Qingfan jumped out from where he was pressed and suddenly rushed towards Li Yuhan.

Seeing Xu Qingfan rushing toward him, Li Yuhan wanted to resist, but he couldn't find a trace of spiritual energy in his body? Just when Li Yuhan was thinking of a way, Xu Qingfan had already rushed in front of him. A blade of grass emerged from the tip of Xu Qingfan's finger and pressed against Li Yuhan's neck.

"This should be your real body, right?" Xu Qingfan asked.

"That's right this time." Li Yuhan said with a bitter smile.

"The reason why wood overcomes earth in the five elements is that no matter how hard the ground is, it cannot resist the growing plants and can only be cracked by the slowly growing plants. Your biggest mistake was that you didn't knock me down from the ring, but wanted to seal me with the earth-based Taoism, but this is impossible for a wood-based cultivator of the same level." Xu Qingfan looked at Li Yuhan's pale face due to excessive spiritual power consumption and said faintly.

"I understand, I give up." Li Yuhan said, and then fainted. The spiritual energy he just consumed was too serious.

"The winner is Xu Qingfan." On the other side, the elder who served as the referee said.

Off the court.

"It seems that I guessed right, and Xu Qingfan won in the end." The fat man said to Sheng Yushan, who was livid.

"You only guessed the result, but not the process." After seeing Li Yuhan faint, Sheng Yushan flew quickly to the court with his magic weapon, leaving only such a cold sentence in the air.

"It seems that there are many masters in this internal competition. It's getting more and more interesting." The fat man looked at Sheng Yushan flying to the field and said quietly. Looking at the treetop, where was the fat man?

After Xu Qingfan walked down the stone platform, he saw Jin Qinghan waiting for him, 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 shaking his body. Jin Qinghan in front of him quickly supported him.

This competition was very exhausting for Li Yuhan, and it was the same for Xu Qingfan. The continuous use of the magical power of "Withering and Flourishing Jue" was also a great burden on him, and the spiritual energy in his body was consumed by eight or nine out of ten.

"It's okay, I just consumed too much spiritual energy in my body." Looking at Jin Qinghan's concerned eyes, Xu Qingfan smiled and said.

"Are you Xu Qingfan?" Just when Jin Qinghan wanted to say something, a light voice suddenly came from behind.

"It's me, what's wrong?" Xu Qingfan turned his head and saw a man holding the fainted Li Yuhan with both hands, looking at him coldly.

"My name is Sheng Yushan. Sheng Yuji, whom you defeated in the first game, is my younger brother. Li Yuhan, whom you defeated in this game, is my brother who is closer than my own brother." Sheng Yushan stared at Xu Qingfan's eyes and said, "Remember my name. In the final round of the top 16, I will defeat you with my own hands."

Then, Sheng Yushan turned around and left with Li Yuhan without looking back.

"I don't know what you mean." Jin Qinghan snorted heavily.

"Jin Qinghan, others are afraid of your title of 'Jiuhua Shuangjie', but I am not. Strength is not necessarily proportional to fame." Sheng Yushan's figure became smaller and smaller, leaving only a faint voice on the sidelines.

"Hmph." Jin Qinghan stared at Xu Qingfan's back for a long time, then said to Xu Qingfan: "Senior Brother Yue will compete soon. Do you want to go back to the back mountain to meditate and recover, or go to watch Senior Brother Yue compete?"

"Let's go watch Senior Brother Yue compete." Xu Qingfan said: "It doesn't matter if I meditate for a while anyway."

"Okay, let's go together."

The competition on the second day continued.
