Chapter 222 It’s True!
"Brother, please come out for a moment." After a moment, under the surprised gaze of everyone, Hong Bin spoke again and pointed his finger at a person.
The person he pointed at was the one standing in the first row of the Tang Sect camp. His name was Ma Long, and he was of the same generation as Tang Yingjie.
"Ma Long?"
Seeing the person Hong Bin pointed at, You Fang's eyelids moved. He had some impression of this person. He was considered a core figure of the younger generation of the Tang Sect.
Ma Long, the assassination genius of the younger generation of the Tang Sect, was proficient in all the assassination skills of the Tang Sect and was outstanding. If he could remove the weaknesses of the younger generation of the Tang Sect that had never seen blood, he could be called a "natural assassin."
In the original plot, this person's role was quite sufficient. Whenever the Tang Sect appeared, he would be brought along. When the "Demon Sword Hirudo" was recovered, he was the main force of the Tang Sect.
It can be seen from this that his status is not inferior to Tang Yingjie. He was also trained as a core disciple. His strength is definitely not weak. He should be the best of the younger generation.
"This is... interesting!"
When thinking of this, You Fang smiled. The two people chosen by Hong Bin are both very powerful characters. They are good players who can fight one against many.
And looking at his appearance, he wants to fight one against two. If he doesn't go all out, he is likely to fail.
Of course, as a companion who has been with him for such a long time, You Fang is quite familiar with Hong Bin's current strength. As long as he plays well, he may not be unable to win.
However, he also knows that this guy still has hidden dangers in his body. Whether he can overcome them and exert his greatest strength depends on his practice during this period of time.
"Little friend Hong, are you going to fight one against two? Are you sure?" Seeing that Hong Bin chose Ma Long, Mr. Tang Miaoxing couldn't sit still and asked immediately.
"Let me say this first. Ma Long is not necessarily weaker than Yingjie. If we only talk about assassination, he is the only one of his generation!"
Grandpa Tang's move was a kind reminder. After all, although this was a contest between three sects, it was also for the purpose of enhancing friendship. It would be bad to let anyone lose face.
In his opinion, he would not be surprised if Hong Bin could beat any of his peers in a one-on-one situation, but this one against two... was a bit arrogant.
"Don't worry, Senior Tang. I know what I am doing. Let me give it a try. It's not shameful to lose, right?" Hong Bin smiled when he heard this.
Master Zhang had said before that they could decide how many people or how many games to play this time. The meaning was to let them fight one against as many as possible!
However, Hong Bin didn't know that the seniors did have this intention, but since it was one against many, they naturally didn't want them to choose opponents with similar strength. What would they fight then?
In their original expectation, the three of them would either choose an equal opponent, or choose a few weaker ones to fight one-on-many or round-robin. Who could have thought that this kid would be so reckless!
"You Fang, do you think Hong Bin can win? I think these two are not weak. I have heard of them on weekdays. They are both real masters." At this time, Lu Linglong couldn't help but speak, with a worried look on her face.
"Well... If it was the old Hong a few months ago, let alone you, I would also worry that he was too reckless, but after a few months of traveling, he is no longer the same as before, and he should have a clear mind." You Fang responded.
Indeed, if it was Hong Bin a few months ago, he would be a real reckless man. He only knew how to charge forward when doing anything. He would never use his brain if he could use his muscles.
But after these few months of tempering, as well as communicating and absorbing with various sects, Hong Bin is now mature. Although he looks reckless on the surface, his inner thoughts are much more delicate.
At this time, seeing that Hong Bin had already made up his mind, everyone stopped talking. After all, the rules were like this, and they still had to respect Hong Bin's own wishes.
So, Taoist Zhang immediately presided over the meeting: "Since that's the case, please ask both parties to come on the field and stand still. The first match will begin immediately!"
"..."
At this moment, seeing that the match was decided, Taoist Zeyue and Ma Long looked at each other, nodded to each other, and then walked to the field and stood together.
Speaking of which, since the three sects have been in frequent contact recently, they have also communicated with each other. Now they are cooperating against the enemy, which is not to say that they have no tacit understanding at all.
At the same time, as the leaders of their respective sects, neither of them would be willing to be Hong Bin's stepping stone, so after the reunion, they began to communicate in a low voice.
After some discussion, the two quickly decided on the tactics of cooperation. This time, Taoist Zeyue would attack from the front, and Ma Long would hide in the dark and wait for an opportunity to attack.
A moment...
"How is it, are you all ready?" Seeing that the three people in the field had already stood still and stopped communicating, Taoist Master Zhang asked, and he immediately got a response.
"Well, let's start!"
Then, Taoist Master Zhang announced loudly that the first competition officially began.
Hiss——!
As soon as Taoist Master Zhang finished speaking, Ma Long's body was filled with Qi smoke, and the "Illusion Body Barrier" was activated in an instant, and his figure faded and dissipated into the air.
Boom!
Beside him, Taoist Master Zeyue also immediately kicked his feet, and the whole person shot out, rushing towards the opposite side at an extremely fast speed.
It can be seen that at the beginning of this competition, the two of them had already gone all out, one bright and one dark, one hard and one soft, and launched a pincer attack on Hong Bin, obviously not intending to give him any time to breathe and prepare.
Facing the attacking Ze Yue, Hong Bin also put away his smile, and his momentum instantly rose, and golden flames rose around him!
Boom! ! !
In an instant, the gorgeous golden flames soared into the sky and turned into a golden pillar of fire, which caught the eyes of the people around.
"Huh? This kid!"
Seeing this golden flame, everyone in the Huode Sect stared at him. They naturally knew what it meant, and then they all smiled.
"Old Hong, it seems that your grandson is really gifted. He has cultivated the 'Golden Flame' at a young age. He deserves the title of 'Little Fire God'!" For a time, the old men of the Huode Sect who were on good terms with the Hong family all praised him.
"Haha, what 'little fire god'? That's just flattering this kid. Don't take it seriously!" Upon hearing this, Mr. Hong was humble but his face was full of smiles.
No wonder they were like this. After all, the "golden flame" is a threshold for the disciples of Huode Sect. There is a huge difference between those who can cultivate it and those who can't.
And those who can cultivate the "golden flame" at the age of about 20 are not common in the history of Huode Sect. In the past hundred years, the only one who can compare with it or even suppress it is Feng Ping, one of the "thirty-six thieves" decades ago!
"Huh?"
Not only the people of Huode Sect, but also the people of Tang Sect and Qingyang Palace were surprised. They naturally knew the "golden flame" of Huode Sect, but they had never heard of anyone who could cultivate it at this age.
In this way, they had to re-examine Hong Bin's strength, and at the same time, they knew in their hearts that this might be why he dared to fight two people alone!
"Golden flames..."
At this moment, Ze Yue, who was charging towards Hong Bin, also noticed this, and couldn't help but narrow his eyes and become alert.
But...
"If that's all, it's too contemptuous!" His eyes were sharp in an instant, and his feet sped up a bit!
Shua——!
The next moment, a shuttle sound was heard, and Taoist Ze Yue turned into a thick flowing shadow, and directly relied on his own life force to break into the fire column.
As Fu Chen's senior brother, he may not be able to compare with Fu Chen in terms of talent in various skills, but he is very confident in this life cultivation!
And the facts have proved that Taoist Ze Yue's confidence is indeed not blind, and his life cultivation is very strong. He really tore a hole in the soaring golden flame and rushed to Hong Bin.
Hong Bin did this to guard against Ma Long who was hiding in the dark, but he never thought that the defense he had just set up was torn apart by the Taoist priest in an instant!
"If we only talk about life and physical strength, this Taoist priest Zeyue is probably stronger than Fu Chen, and it is definitely not that easy to deal with." At this time, You Fang, who was watching the battle, couldn't help but talk to himself.
"Ah? Then he is doomed? This person is so difficult to deal with, and with a genius assassin, how can he deal with it?" Lu Linglong couldn't help but look surprised when she heard it.
"Hehe, you know that Lao Hong's methods are more than just this. Don't forget why he rushed to cultivate the "Golden Flame" in the first place!" Hearing this, You Fang couldn't help but smile in response.
"You mean..." Lu Linglong was stunned for a moment, "But he can't control that thing? How can he make such a big progress in just a few months?"
What the two were talking about was naturally Hong Bin's "Pure Yin Fire". If he could make good use of this ability, it would be possible to defeat the two men.
But Lu Linglong's idea was reasonable. After all, Hong Bin had only been in the position for a few months, and he had only condensed the golden flame for balance, and was far from being able to control it.
"Then you underestimated this guy. He has a very strong talent in the way of fire. Not long after leaving the Lu family, he was able to gradually control it." Seeing this, You Fang shook his head and explained.
"And don't look at this guy as stupid. If we only talk about his comprehension, he is not inferior to us. During this period, he has gained a lot in Buddhism and Taoism. He has already found the way and comprehended the 'principle of yin and yang'!"
As soon as You Fang finished speaking, he saw Hong Bin and Ze Yue fighting in the field. Since the other party wanted to force his way into the golden flame, he would naturally not be polite. The flames around him were so strong that he directly wrapped him in it.
Although the Taoist Ze Yue was strong and could temporarily move in the golden flame without any worries, the scorching golden flame was also extraordinary and burned his body all the time.
In this case, he had to divide his energy to deal with his own Qi. As one strengthened, the other weakened, and Hong Bin was able to fight the opponent head-on. The fists of both sides collided for a while.
However, this collision did not last too long. After a few rounds of fighting, Ma Long, who had been hiding on the side, joined the battlefield.
Swish——!!!
In an instant, a sound of breaking through the air was heard, and a very thin silk thread shot straight into the golden flame and directly wrapped around Hong Bin's limbs!
"Hidden line?!"
Hong Bin was not too familiar with this kind of thing. In the past few months, he often helped Tang Yingjie test the results of refining equipment, so he naturally knew the weirdness of this thing.
If he was entangled by this thing, he would instantly fall into an extremely passive situation, so the moment he reacted, he threw a fireball and escaped directly using the "fire escape" technique.
In the blink of an eye, the two parties separated. Hong Bin escaped dozens of meters away before reuniting, and then immediately looked at the two of them.
When Taoist priests Zeyue and Ma Long saw this, they immediately turned their spears and rushed over. Ma Long once again disappeared into the darkness, while Zeyue's whole body was full of energy, turning into an arrow from the string and arriving in an instant.
boom! ! !
The next moment, before Hong Bin could stand firm, Taoist Zeyue punched him again. Hong Bin reacted immediately and blocked his attack by condensing two balls of golden flames in his hands.
But at the moment when the two sides were fighting, a ghostly figure appeared behind Hong Bin. The timing and angle of his attack were so tricky that even if Hong Bin reacted, he would not have time to deal with it.
"Tsk, the guys from the Tang Sect are really difficult to deal with!" Upon seeing this, Hong Bin felt a crisis in his heart. He knew in his heart that if he couldn't find a way to escape at this moment, he would probably be defeated here immediately.
However, in this dazed moment, he suddenly felt that his hands were instantly clamped by a pair of iron pliers. It turned out that Zeyue seized the opportunity and directly restricted his movements, making it difficult for him to escape in an instant.
At this moment, Hong Bin was in a real crisis. The "Fire Escape Technique" could not be used immediately due to the clamp, and he could not turn around to deal with the upcoming attack.
It has to be said that the cooperation between Taoist Zeyue and Ma Long is really close. Although it is not "perfect", it is not as stiff as the usual first cooperation. The cooperation between them is quite good.
"finished?"
Seeing this scene, Lu Linglong narrowed her eyes, but saw You Fang smiling at the side, and she didn't seem worried.
"This guy needs to get serious."
The next moment, You Fang's lips parted slightly, and he looked at the field with burning eyes, with anticipation in his eyes.
"Um?"
Hearing this, Lu Linglong couldn't help but stare, then looked towards the field, and then her eyes widened.
At this moment, Hong Bin, who was restrained in the field and about to be killed with one blow, smiled like You Fang, and a little bit of darkness floated in the golden flames around him.
"That is?!"
Seeing this scene, the onlookers were immediately shocked!
