Chapter 248 Duel

"I accept."

There was silence in the hall for a long time, and finally the voice of the Imperial Master rang out.

"Alas..." A sigh came from somewhere.

"Yuan Ming is seeking his own death! I'm afraid that after today, Journey to the South will become extinct."

"Why is this happening? Why is it happening like this?"

"Brother Ming, have you thought about it, are you really going to do this? It's still too late to regret it, I can..." The little emperor was interrupted before he could finish his words.

"Believe me." Yuan Ming said with a smile, winking secretly at the little emperor.

The little emperor was slightly startled and said no more.

Yuan Ming's words also blocked General Yuan's words of persuasion.

Although he was full of worries, he could only choose to believe that his son must be relying on something to do this.

Soon, the Imperial Master and Yuan Ming signed a life and death certificate in the Tai'an Palace.

Everyone moved to the square outside the hall. The Imperial Army had already cleared the venue, leaving enough space for them to compete.

"The certificate of life and death has been signed, and no one can intervene in the confrontation between you until... life and death. Afterwards, neither party, no matter what the outcome, can seek revenge on the other party or even the other party's sect and family for any reason. Both sides The family and sect behind the scenes also cannot take revenge on each other for any reason." The little emperor rarely displayed his imperial dignity, standing in the middle of the high platform and announced loudly.

After saying that, he looked at the old emperor, the white-haired old woman and Fairy Luoshui beside him.

They are the most important witnesses to this duel.

Fairy Luoshui said regretfully: "What a pity, the mayfly shakes the tree!"

The old emperor said: "This is how I, the son of the Jin Kingdom, live up to the name of a tiger general."

After saying that, the three of them looked at each other and nodded at the same time.

"The duel begins." The little emperor raised one hand and gave the order.

Yuan Ming and Taoist Priest Yuhu, the national master, came to the center of the square. The two stood facing each other more than ten steps apart.

"It's too late for you to admit defeat now. I don't have to kill you, but don't expect to enter Changchun Temple anymore. Rotten wood cannot be carved." Taoist Priest Yuhu looked at Yuan Ming and said calmly.

Yuan Ming did not speak, but stretched out his hand in a "please" gesture.

"Since you don't know whether to live or die, don't blame my master for being ruthless!" Taoist Priest Yuhu's eyes were filled with cold light, and his sleeves and robes were rolled up.

Bright red light flashed, and three thick fire snakes rolled out from the sleeves and robes. Each fire snake was two to three feet long, with bright scales and lifelike scales, just like a real python. They staggered and pounced on Yuan Ming. .

"Intermediate Fire Snake Technique?" Yuan Ming showed no signs of panic, a blue light flashed in his hand, and he held up the Water Cloud Flag.

He no longer hid his cultivation, and poured the powerful mana from the Foundation Establishment Stage into the Water Cloud Flag. The flag became several times larger in the wind, and his body was wrapped in it. A thick layer of blue water mist appeared on the surface of the flag, covering an area of ​​several feet. There was suddenly a surge of moisture within the area.

Three fire snakes hit the Shuiyun Banner, causing three huge explosions.

Most of the water mist around the Shuiyun Banner was blown away. The flag also shook violently, but it stabilized immediately, and the blue water mist quickly recovered.

"This...is the foundation-building stage cultivation!"

"Yuan Ming is already a foundation-building monk. He has only been practicing for three years, right?"

"What exactly happened while he was living in southern Xinjiang?"

"It's a pity that Changchun Guan missed such a good seedling."

The Luoshui Fairy, the old woman with a crutch from Bailuo Villa, and other monks made a fuss and talked about it, many of them gloating about the misfortune.

Yuan Zuochong froze on the spot, heaving a sigh of relief in his heart, and then cursed in a low voice: "This kid, even you and I have hidden this from you."

Although he was yelling and scolding, anyone could hear the excitement and excitement in his tone.

The little emperor's eyes also showed strange light, and he clapped his hands in joy.

Priest Yuhu also had a shocked expression on his face, and a trace of inexplicable regret flashed through his heart, which immediately turned into murderous intent.

If he had maintained his own identity before and only planned to destroy the other party's cultivation level, and at the same time, he could also give Liu Tianming and the royal family face, but Yuan Ming used some unknown means to hide his cultivation level, and this son became a master in three years. It’s reached the foundation building stage! Now that the matter has come to this, we must not leave the other party alive, otherwise there will be endless troubles!

As the thoughts in his mind swirled, he made a seal with his hands and fired several spells in all directions.

"Hula"

A red beam of light suddenly rose up around it, shot straight into the sky, exploded at an altitude of more than ten feet, spread rapidly, and formed a fire cloud of more than ten feet in size in the blink of an eye, which looked unusually bright red.

"The Imperial Master suppressed the Fire Cloud Secret Technique at the bottom of the box. It seems that he didn't want Yuan Ming to come out alive!" The little emperor's heart sank, his lips slightly opened, and he was about to use the sound transmission technique of Changchun Temple to remind Yuan Ming .

"Since the two of them have agreed to fight alone, you'd better not interfere casually." A voice message sounded in his ears.

The little emperor's expression froze and he had no choice but to give up the transmission.

General Yuan said nothing, looked directly at the square, and clenched his fists tightly.

Although Yuan Ming didn't know what kind of magical powers Taoist Yuhu used, he had experienced nine deaths in southern Xinjiang, and had directly participated in the catastrophe of Biluo Cave. As early as the Qi Refining Stage, he had clashed with the Foundation Establishment Stage monks more than once. It can be said that He has rich experience in fighting, so he will naturally not let his opponent do whatever he wants.

I saw his hands raised in vain.

Three or four magical weapons were shot out one after another. They were the Hanxing Sword, the Nine-ring Golden Sword, the Wushan Claw and a series of middle-grade magical weapons.

After advancing to the foundation building stage, the power of his soul increased greatly, and with the blessing of Ming Yue Jue, he became more and more comfortable in controlling multiple magic weapons at the same time to carry out coordinated attacks.

These magic weapons formed a colorful torrent and rushed straight to Taoist Yuhu.

Under the cover of the light of many magic weapons, the black needle magic weapon turned into a slender shadow, circled a big circle, and silently pierced Taoist Yuhu's back.

The expression on Taoist Yuhu's face did not change at all, and his two palms wrapped in red light crossed in front of him.

The fire cloud in the air rolled like magma, making a sound like thunder. More than a dozen big, water drop-shaped fireballs suddenly shot down from the air and hit him everywhere.

Boom!

All the fireballs exploded, forming a circle of huge fire waves around him, blocking the surrounding protection. Not only the cold star sword, the nine-ring golden knife and other magic weapons, but even the black needle magic weapon were blown away.

The ground below was also affected, the thick bluestone floor tiles were shattered, and a layer of the ground was deeply scraped off, and smoke and dust rose for a while.

Yuan Ming showed a look of shock, and there was an inexplicable heat in the depths of his eyes.

Taoist Master Yu Hu had a sneer on his lips, raised one hand, and quickly pointed a finger at Yuan Ming's position.

The fire cloud in the sky roared, and more than a dozen huge fireballs shot out from it, heading straight for Yuan Ming, faster than before, blocking all of Yuan Ming's retreat routes.

Yuan Ming only felt a monstrous heat wave wrapped in a terrifying spiritual pressure rushing towards him, making him feel suffocated.

However, he did not dodge, and the spell in his hand changed quickly, the water cloud banner around him shone with blue light, and the golden Bagua ancient mirror was also sacrificed, a layer of golden light curtain quickly spread, adding another layer of defense around him.

He had just finished doing this, and more than a dozen fireballs had already flown in and hit the golden light curtain.

A series of earth-shaking loud noises exploded!

After the red flames rolled up, they turned into a black and red fire cloud, sweeping everything nearby.

The face of Taoist Master Yu Hu was slightly pale, as if the spell he had just cast had consumed a lot of his mana, but a sneer appeared on the corner of his mouth.

His Fire Cloud Secret Art was extremely powerful, and he had put all his strength into the attack just now. Even a cultivator in the late stage of foundation building dared not face it directly, let alone Yuan Ming, a cultivator who had just entered the early stage of foundation building.

However, the next moment, Taoist Master Yu Hu's smile suddenly froze.

His spiritual sense sensed that Yuan Ming's breath was still there in the midst of the rolling red flames, and it seemed that he had not suffered much damage.

"This is absolutely impossible!"

Taoist Master Yu Hu hurriedly continued to cast spells, and the fire cloud in the air surged again.

However, before he could make any move, the ground at his feet suddenly cracked, and more than a dozen thick purple-black vines shot out from it, piercing his body like long spears and halberds.

Taoist Master Yu Hu was not in a panic, but raised a yellow umbrella, which flew to his head, opened with a whoosh, and spun around.

A series of slightly hazy yellow lights fell from the umbrella, and in the blink of an eye, a yellow cylindrical light curtain formed around him.

The purple-black vines hit the yellow light curtain and were immediately bounced away, without the light curtain trembling.

In the red flames, Yuan Ming wiped the blood from the corner of his mouth and stared at the yellow umbrella, a top-grade defensive magic weapon!

The ancient Bagua mirror had been broken into pieces and fell to the ground at his feet, losing its spirituality. Although the Shuiyun Banner was still there, its light was dim, and it was obviously damaged.

When the Bagua mirror was blown up just now, he decisively raised this black inkstone magic weapon and the Shuiyun Banner to resist together, otherwise he would not be able to withstand the bombardment of more than a dozen exploding fireballs.

Yuan Ming slapped the ground with both hands, and green light shone from his palms.

The ground around Taoist Master Yu Hu was cracked, and thick purple vines emerged and rolled around the yellow light curtain around Taoist Master Yu Hu, wrapping layer after layer.

In a few breaths, Taoist Master Yu Hu and the light curtain around him were covered and submerged by countless vines.

A few feet below Taoist Master Yu Hu's feet, a vine man was half lying there, it was Hua Zhi.

Yuan Ming had ordered Hua Zhi to sneak into the ground before the succession ceremony. Hua Zhi used the wood hiding technique to hide his breath, moved deep underground, and lurked under Taoist Master Yu Hu's feet.

"Master, I can do it alone!" Hua Zhi shouted arrogantly.

"Nonsense!"

Yuan Ming once again controlled a group of magic weapons to attack, but he did not attack Taoist Master Yu Hu, but went straight to the fire cloud in the air.

A trace of surprise flashed across Taoist Master Yu Hu's face, and he quickly pinched his fingers and pointed at the air.

The fire cloud in the air surged, and nearly twenty fireballs shot down, half of which were aimed at the magic weapons, and the other half hit the ground.

There was a loud "boom" explosion.

A large piece of red flame appeared in the air, and the Cold Star Sword and other magic weapons were blown away again. The Black Mountain Claw was directly blown into pieces and completely destroyed.
