Seeking Immortality

"Then let's compare, do you have more firebirds, or am I faster?"

Looking at the firebirds flying towards him, Xu Qingfan didn't panic much. Instead, he took a deep breath and instantly maximized his speed. He kept jumping and moving in the small space, with a flexible and accurate body shape. He was avoiding the impact of the firebird in the gap.

As Xu Qingfan expected, even Feng Qingtian was unable to accurately and flexibly control so many firebirds in such a small range. Both speed and flexibility were greatly reduced. Due to poor control, these firebirds either couldn't restrain themselves and hit the ground, or they couldn't control the collision with each other, and exploded in advance, but none of them could directly cause harm to Xu Qingfan. Xu Qingfan, on the other hand, endured the shock pain in his chest and abdomen when the explosion happened around him. With the help of the residual power of the explosion, he increased his speed and the Firebird's threat to him was further reduced.

"Interesting." Feng Qingtian murmured as he watched Xu Qingfan's performance from the other side of the field.

Feng Qingtian also discovered the problem with his attack at this time. A sarcastic smile flashed across his lips, but his hands were not messy at all. The command changed, and most of the firebirds that were besieging Xu Qingfan suddenly exploded, turning into pure fire spirit essence and blending into the remaining firebirds.

As a result, the flames on the remaining firebirds increased sharply, and their power was obviously greatly increased. And although the number of firebirds has been greatly reduced, there are still nearly a hundred of them. With the sharp reduction in number, Feng Qingtian's control in the distance has become much more flexible. Therefore, the Firebirds still firmly blocked all Xu Qingfan's escape routes, and the threat to Xu Qingfan greatly increased for a time.

As time went by, Xu Qingfan found that the space he could use to escape became smaller and smaller, and the situation became more and more unfavorable to him. So while I kept dodging, my mind was racing, thinking of countermeasures.

The space that can be used to escape has become smaller and smaller under the compression of many firebirds, and it is no longer possible to just evade like this. Moreover, although these firebirds are small in size, they have a large amount of fire energy condensed in their bodies. If they resist hard, the defense power of twenty or thirty iron Puye can be barely enough. If there are more, they will definitely be blown up and their bones will not be left.

What should we do?

"Hey, it seems we can only take a chance." Xu Qingfan sighed secretly.

Thinking of this, Xu Qingfan flicked his fingers and transformed into countless blade grass and explosive flame flowers, which rushed towards the surrounding firebirds. For a time, the flowers and plants on the field were flying together with the firebirds, and the scene was extremely gorgeous.

Feng Qingtian knew that if the Firebird did not attack Xu Qingfan directly, it would be difficult to cause serious damage to Xu Qingfan with the remnant power of the explosion, so he quickly controlled the Firebird to avoid Xu Qingfan's attack.

But as a result, Feng Qingtian's offensive launched by controlling the Fire Bird inevitably stalled slightly. Xu Qingfan, on the other hand, took advantage of this momentary gap to change his fingers one after another, forming countless iron cattail leaves around him that could be used to waterproof fire knives and guns. They gathered together and turned into a sphere to cover Xu Qingfan's body firmly, leaving no gaps. , with a posture of trying to resist Feng Qingtian's "Firebird Technique".

Seeing Xu Qingfan's performance, the sarcastic smile on Feng Qingtian's face became more obvious, as if he was mocking Xu Qingfan for overestimating his abilities. As soon as they put their hands together, all the firebirds on the field rushed towards Xu Qingfan from all directions. In an instant, they rushed to the protective ball formed by iron leaf leaves around Xu Qingfan, and there was a fierce collision.

As the deafening explosions of the firebirds collided one after another, the audience outside the field let out a series of exclamations. Jin Qinghan stared closely at the scene on the field. His fists were turned white due to excessive exertion, and his expression was obviously nervous. I am very worried about Xu Qingfan's safety. Unfortunately, after the Firebirds exploded one after another, the field was filled with smoke, which obscured the view of the spectators and Feng Qingtian. The field was in chaos for a while, and the situation was unclear.

Finally, the wind blew away the fog, and as time went by the smoke on the field gradually disappeared without a trace. The scene on the field finally resumed and was displayed in front of everyone.

But they saw that the place where Xu Qingfan was just now was in a mess, with the remains of exploded iron cattail leaves everywhere. Under the strong aftereffects of the explosion, even the stone platform was cracked densely and minutely.

But Xu Qingfan could not be found.

Could it be that Xu Qingfan had been blown to pieces by Feng Qingtian's "Firebird Technique"?

Seeing all this, Feng Qingtian frowned slightly, feeling slightly uneasy in his heart. This uneasiness was not because he thought he might have killed Xu Qingfan by mistake. Jiuhua Sect's intra-sect competitions focus on actual combat, so one or two disciples are mistakenly killed in each intra-sect competition. And with Feng Qingtian's character, he would never feel uneasy about killing someone who had nothing to do with him by mistake. He just felt that with Xu Qingfan's methods, he shouldn't be killed so easily.

The high platform where the elders are located.

Zhang Hualing, who was sitting quietly watching the competition, suddenly laughed and said: "This Xu Qingfan is a cautious person with a tough personality. If his talent is not so poor, he is a talent that can be made."

Zhou Huahai, who had always had a bad impression of Xu Qingfan, surprisingly nodded slightly, with a thoughtful look in his eyes.

"Hmph, but he also thinks Feng Qingtian is too simple. Although he has some tricks, he will definitely lose this time." The protector Xu snorted coldly, obviously feeling proud that he had been ruined in the previous competition. Xu Qingfan, a disciple of Daoxing, was dissatisfied.

After hearing what Protector Xu said, the other elders were silent, apparently acquiescing to Protector Xu's words.

On the field.

Just when Feng Qingtian looked at the place where Xu Qingfan was just now and frowned without saying a word, a sudden change occurred! !

Dozens of iron vines suddenly appeared around him, and they were tied towards Feng Qingtian. Feng Qingtian didn't even have time to react before he was trapped like a rice dumpling.

At this time, Xu Qingfan's figure gradually emerged behind Feng Qingtian. He was in a miserable state, with blood pouring from the corners of his mouth. It was obvious that he had been seriously injured by Feng Qingtian's attack just now. But now Xu Qingfan couldn't care about this. With a wave of his right hand, the "Kurong Ruler" turned into a green light and quickly stabbed Feng Qingtian.

It turned out that at the moment when the firebirds controlled by Feng Qingtian rushed towards him, Xu Qingfan suddenly escaped from the protective ball made of iron Pu leaves as a protection, and blocked several of the firebirds coming towards him with the "Kurong Ruler" The rushing Firebird then used the aftereffects of the explosion after the Firebird collided with the iron pu leaf to increase its speed to the extreme. Using the cover of the smoke generated by the explosion, it used "invisibility" to hide behind Feng Qingtian, and finally behind Feng Qing. The moment Tian relaxed his vigilance, he launched a surprise attack.

However, because Xu Qingfan also used the residual power generated by the Firebird explosion to increase his speed, he inevitably suffered serious internal injuries. His internal organs were surging, and blood kept pouring out of Xu Qingfan's mouth. This blow has gathered all the remaining power in Xu Qingfan's body, so victory or defeat depends on this! !

At this moment, after the bloody battle and fierce confrontation, Xu Qingfan had forgotten his purpose of participating in the sect competition this time. He had forgotten that he only needed to win third place. Now he only thought about defeating This person who never seems to fail - Feng Qingtian! !

Unfortunately, Xu Qingfan was disappointed in the end.

Just before the "Kurong Ruler" was about to hit Feng Qingtian, a long red staff suddenly appeared. The staff exuded a strong fiery red light, and the red light seemed to be burning like a burning flame. A lifelike phoenix is ​​carved on the head of the staff, and the phoenix's eyes are shining with mysterious red light. The tail of the staff is dragging three phoenix tails, making a beautiful sound. This long staff was extremely powerful and easily blocked the attack of Xu Qingfan's "Kurong Ruler".

But this blow had already consumed the last trace of spiritual energy in Xu Qingfan's body, so after the "Kurong Ruler" was blocked by the long staff, it seemed to have lost all its power and fell to the ground.

"Ding Dong~."

As the sound of the "Kurong Ruler" falling to the ground sounded, Xu Qingfan exhausted all the strength in his body and fell to the ground. At the same time, he couldn't help but smile bitterly in his heart.

"Sure enough, I can't defeat Feng Qingtian even if I try my best. Anyway, my goal is to get third place to get back Master's relics, so I won't lose anything. And this time at least I forced Feng Qingtian to use Knowing his magic weapon and knowing some of his hidden strengths can be considered helpful to Jin Qinghan," Xu Qingfan thought silently as he lay on the field, but could no longer stand up.

At this time, Feng Qingtian finally slowly turned around, and flames suddenly burst out from his body, instantly burning the iron vines wrapped around him clean. Then with a slight wave of his right hand, the long red staff suspended in the air flew back to his hand. Only then did he lower his head and look at Xu Qingfan, who was lying exhausted on the ground, and suddenly said softly: "I'm sorry."

Hearing Feng Qingtian's words, Xu Qingfan was stunned. He didn't know why he said that. Feng Qingtian didn't look like a person who would apologize for hurting his fellow disciples.

Looking at Xu Qingfan's confused eyes, Feng Qingtian continued to say softly: "You are a respectable opponent. You are tough and sharp. You can ignore danger in order to win. Now you have even forced me to use the magical weapon Feng Ling. I despised you at the beginning."

"But I still lost." Xu Qingfan said with a wry smile.

"Losing and winning are not so simple. Although you lost this competition, you won my respect." Feng Qingtian said lightly.

"I should feel honored to have won your respect, right?" Xu Qingfan asked softly while trying to calm down the turmoil in his chest, and found that the internal injuries he suffered this time were more than he imagined.

"Probably. There are not many people in Jiuhua Sect who I can respect." Although Feng Qingtian's voice was calm, there was deep pride in it.

"In the first game, Feng Qingtian wins." At this time, an elder on the high platform stood up and announced.

As the elder's voice fell, the audience suddenly burst into loud cheers, not only for Feng Qingtian's expected victory, but also for this wonderful competition between Xu Qingfan and Feng Qingtian.

At the end of the competition, Jin Qinghan flashed onto the field, first gave Feng Qingtian a cold look, then squatted down to help Xu Qingfan up, and asked in a warm voice: "Senior Brother Xu, how do you feel? "

Listening to Jin Qinghan's rare warm voice, Xu Qingfan couldn't help but feel a little warm in his heart, and then comforted him calmly: "It's nothing, I just suffered some internal injuries."

Having said this, Xu Qingfan could no longer hold back the blood in his chest and spit out a large mouthful of blood.

Jin Qinghan's expression changed when he saw the blood that Xu Qingfan suddenly vomited stained their clothes red. He put his hands against Xu Qingfan's "giant tiger's hole" and slowly input a spiritual energy into Xu Qingfan's body to check Xu Qingfan's condition. What he found made Jin Qinghan's face change drastically. Xu Qingfan's internal injuries were far beyond his imagination. Maybe the next day The finals between the third and fourth places are also unavailable.

"Senior Brother Xu, you shouldn't be so desperate." Jin Qinghan said in a deep voice.

"It doesn't matter. At least we know more about Feng Qingtian's hidden strength. His 'Phoenix Feather Staff' is very powerful. You must be careful when you compete with him." Xu Qingfan said with a faint smile, but there was a little pain in his smile.

Hearing Xu Qingfan's words, Jin Qinghan was stunned. He didn't expect that Xu Qingfan fought so hard with Feng Qingtian just to let him know more about Feng Qingtian's hidden strength! Jin Qinghan was cold by nature, but now he felt that he was moved by Xu Qingfan's actions.

Feng Qingtian, who was still standing on the field, kept flashing his eyes after hearing the conversation between the two, but he didn't know what he thought of at this moment. Maybe, at this moment, he also had some desire for friendship?

If people are lonely for too long, they will always have a desire for these things.

As Jin Qinghan kept inputting spiritual energy into Xu Qingfan's body, Xu Qingfan felt that the circulation of spiritual energy in his body seemed to be smoother, so he pushed away Jin Qinghan's support and barely stood up.

He didn't like the way he fell to the ground.

After walking off the stage with the help of Jin Qinghan, Xu Qingfan said to Jin Qinghan: "Junior Brother Jin, you are about to compete, so don't worry about me, I'm fine."

As he said that, Xu Qingfan patted Jin Qinghan's shoulder to show encouragement, and then turned and walked towards the back mountain. His injury was too serious this time, and it was likely to affect the final between the third and fourth place the next day, so he didn't care about watching Jin Qinghan's competition, and had to hurry back to the cave in the back mountain to take the time to treat his internal injuries.

Looking at Xu Qingfan's staggering back, Jin Qinghan's eyes were complicated. He knew that Xu Qingfan's character had always disliked fighting. The reason why he wanted to participate in the internal competition this time was to get the third place so that he could take back his master's relic-"Three Zhang Qingling". But this time, in order to help himself, he suffered such a serious internal injury at the last and most important time. Jin Qinghan couldn't tell what his mood was for a while. Was he moved? Or guilty? Or was he happy that he had such a friend?

"It has always been Senior Brother Xu who has been helping me. Now, I should do something for Senior Brother Xu." Jin Qinghan thought silently.

Thinking of this, Jin Qinghan began to slowly glow with golden light, but he no longer looked at Xu Qingfan, but turned and walked towards the field. With every step he took, the golden light on his body became three points stronger. When Jin Qinghan walked onto the field, the golden light on his body was as dazzling as a small sun. Then, the golden light dissipated, and a golden armor transformed from golden spiritual energy covered his whole body, leaving only a gap for his eyes, as if he was wearing heavy armor in the secular world. And in his hand, I don't know when there was a golden heavy axe. The image is extremely majestic.

What greeted him was the shocked eyes of Lu Qingshang, the third favorite of this competition, and the lazy smile on his face had long disappeared.

"Golden Spirit Armor!! It's actually Golden Spirit Armor!! Isn't it said that in the Jiuhua Sect, no disciple in the Qigong period has been able to master this Taoist technique in the past seven hundred years?"

The audience was in an uproar.
