Chapter 352 Trial
In the silent and deserted valley, a bird landed on a branch, curiously looking at a few humans, and flew away bored after a while. Baldy yawned at this time, "When will the fight start? The chapter is updated the fastest"
"Brother Xiaoqiu, do you really not need to use the mind illusion when fighting with me? She and Shen Hao are both in the Canxia realm, and they are not easy to deal with." Xiao Qingtao was a little worried.
Mu Xingqiu raised the whip in his hand, "It is difficult for the mind illusion to break through the Taoist's defense, so it is not very useful. Besides, I have a whip, which can also be regarded as a kind of illusion, a pragmatic illusion, which becomes real."
Xiao Qingtao smiled, not believing that the whip could be of much use. She had seen Mu Xingqiu's whip method in Duanliu City. It was indeed sharp, but the attack range was no more than ten feet at most, which was far from the five elements magic. The most important thing was that after reaching the Canxia realm, she deeply realized the fragility of the Taoist who inhaled air, which could not be compensated by any magic.
Mu Xingqiu wants to compete with Shen Hao for the qualification of the candidate for the leader of the Demon Slayer Club, Pangshan, but there are only four members of the Demon Slayer Club in the team, so they decided to meet up with more members in the Imperial Capital before the battle election.
"You two don't need to fight each other, everyone's ultimate goal is actually the same." Xiao Qingtao whispered, hoping to avoid stopping this fight between friends.
"This is not a fight, just to express my own point of view. Even if I lose, at least Shen Hao will notice what my real thoughts are."
Xiao Qingtao wanted to speak, but Yang Qingyin, who was standing a hundred steps away, became impatient, "Are you ready? Get me out of the way, you are not in a hurry to fight."
Xiao Qingtao stuck out her tongue and retreated to the side with the bald man. The bald man's eyes were shining, "I'm so excited, I can feel my heartbeat, Xiao Qingtao, who do you think will win? I bet on Brother Xiaoqiu."
Xiao Qingtao smiled without saying a word.
Yang Qingyin wanted to try Mu Xingqiu's skills before Shen Hao, holding the Snow-cutting Sword in her hand. He said loudly: "Xiao Qingtao and I support you, but if you can't even take one of Shen Hao's moves, we have to change our minds. Maybe I will fight for it. I am the fourth level of Canxia. Who dares not to support me in Pangshan?"
The election of candidates has no direct relationship with the strength of magic power, but the strong will always get more support. Yang Qingyin is the daughter of Taoism. She practices faster than ordinary disciples and has good popularity. These are her advantages. Even so, if she really wants to compete for the leader of the Demon Slayer Association, the disciples of Pangshan will still be vague. Everyone knows that she has a violent temper and being the leader may be bad.
"If I am really that weak, I will withdraw myself. You cast the spell." Since Mu Xingqiu ended his retreat, he has never used the Mind Whip in front of his opponent, and he is quite looking forward to it.
"I don't need to use my full strength for the first move.
It can be regarded as imitating Shen Hao's strength. Let's see if you can take it." Yang Qingyin is also like Xiao Qingtao. Although she has seen Mu Xingqiu's mind illusion, she is only impressed by the illusion that stirs people's hearts. I really don't think there is anything special about the pragmatic whip method.
The Five Elements Magic is the orthodox way of Taoism. This view has long been deeply rooted in people's hearts and will not change easily because of Mu Xingqiu's several lucky victories in Duanliu City.
Yang Qingyin pinched the magic formula with her right hand, and a ball of fire trembled slightly in the air ten steps in front of her.
Unlike Shen Hao, who started learning magic very early. Yang Qingyin still spent most of her energy on practicing inner alchemy. The magic is still only one kind of five elements fire, but it is more pure. The fireball has already solidified faintly, and its power is much greater than before.
"Take it!" Yang Qingyin reminded loudly, and the fireball instantly arrived in front of Mu Xingqiu, leaving a very faint track behind, as if even the air was sucked out.
The bald man cheered loudly, and before the sound faded, a lightning shot out from the whip in Mu Xingqiu's hand, hitting the fireball and smashing it to pieces, like a snake swallowing a tiny prey.
The bald man's cheering suddenly turned sharp and weird.
Xiao Qingtao was slightly stunned. She was not surprised that Mu Xingqiu could catch Yang Qingyin's first move, but it was a bit wrong that he was so easy.
Mu Xingqiu used the fourth level of illusion, which just corresponded to the Canxia realm. He was a little excited to catch Yang Qingyin's fireball. He was really afraid that the illusion whip method he had practiced so hard would be useless.
Yang Qingyin snorted, "Don't be complacent. I will use all my strength in the next spell. You have to be careful..." This time she didn't remind him. Halfway through her words, more than a dozen fireballs flew towards Mu Xingqiu at the same time, covering his head and chest.
"Mom, are you serious?" The bald man shouted, jumping from Xiao Qingtao's shoulder into the air, staring at Mu Xingqiu intently. Although they had been together in Luanjing Mountain for more than five years, he didn't know how powerful Xiaoqiu was.
The magic whip technique relies entirely on the power of the mind, without any action. Ten lightning flashed from Mu Xingqiu's whip, interweaving into a net, and once again easily blocked all the fireballs, but he did not move an inch, as if he was a spectator who was not involved.
Taoists are particularly concerned about keeping a distance when fighting, and usually will not allow the opponent's magic to be too close to them. Mu Xingqiu did not dodge or avoid, and let the fireballs fly in front of him before defeating them all. It was too risky and too easy.
Xiao Qingtao was stunned. In her expectation, even if Mu Xingqiu caught the old lady's magic, he should be in a hurry, not as casual as he is now.
Yang Qingyin looked down at her hands and thought she had pinched the wrong magic formula, "Is this the magic you learned? It's not the same as before."
"In the past few years, I have learned some new tricks."
Mu Xingqiu was about to cast a spell when Xiao Qingtao, who was watching, interrupted him, "Wait a minute, I'll go a little further. Shen Hao won't be so close when he's fighting."
Yang Qingyin thought it made sense. The sword flew more than a mile and stopped at the entrance of the valley. "Let's make a move."
Mu Xingqiu moved his steps and made various postures with his hands. This was not for wielding the whip, but for the unique method of mental illusion, which allowed the whip technique to be varied.
The whip was thrown out, and it was more than ten feet long. The tip of the whip shot out a bolt of lightning. It moved forward in a zigzag direction, but at an extremely fast speed. It made a hissing sound like paper cracking when it rubbed against the air.
Seeing the lightning coming, Yang Qingyin originally planned to fight head-on, but changed her mind at the last moment and jumped up to avoid the blow.
The lightning gathered into a ball where she just stayed, and exploded instantly, because there was no target. The force penetrated the ground and scorched a piece of weeds, leaving a deep hole that looked like a spear. Yang Qingyin, who was flying in the air, felt the soles of her feet numb slightly.
"What a cruel attack." Yang Qingyin's face changed slightly and she flew back to Mu Xingqiu, "That's enough, Xiao Qingtao and I support you."
"And me, I have always supported Brother Xiaoqiu." The bald man jumped up and down with joy.
"It turns out that the mental illusion is so powerful." Xiao Qingtao admired sincerely, "How far has Brother Xiaoqiu reached?"
"It has just stabilized on the fifth level." Mu Xingqiu no longer said that he could cast the seventh level illusion.
"The power is enough, but the speed is a bit lacking." Yang Qingyin frowned. "A mile away, I can dodge your spells, but you may not be able to dodge my fireballs."
This is indeed a problem. Even if Mu Xingqiu casts the seventh-level illusion, it won't be much faster. There are two ready-made solutions: first, don't stay too far away from the enemy, and use Mind Lightning and Five Elements Spells within a hundred steps. There is almost no difference in speed; the second is to continuously release lightning and weave it into a web, leaving the enemy nowhere to hide. It's just that the farther the distance, the larger the net must be, which consumes mana and wastes time.
"I will find a way to shorten the distance. You don't have to stand still in a fight."
"Don't forget, there are also talismans and Taoist talismans." Yang Qingyin's face was condensed, as if she didn't like Mu Xingqiu becoming so powerful. It seemed like he was worried, "Shen Hao and Shen Jiyi are in the same group, and they must have been assigned a lot of Taoist talismans. Just one use will be enough for you."
Lan Bingju's strength doubled after using the Taoist Talisman. Several people were extremely impressed. Yang Qingyin's reminder was indeed worthy of attention. Xiao Qingtao proposed banning Shen Hao and the others from using the Talisman, "This is unfair."
"No, since I can use the Mind Whip Technique, I should allow Shen Hao to use the Talisman. Otherwise, I am no match for the Five Elements Magic."
In any case, Mu Xingqiu's whipping technique did greatly enhance everyone's confidence. As they walked outside the valley together, Xiao Qingtao became interested in Nian Xin Ke for the first time and pestered Mu Xingqiu to ask a lot of questions. question, but in the end he could only sigh, "It seems that it is impossible to rebuild. Let's train little Artemisia well. She is very cute. Alas, I hope she will not be in danger."
Shen Hao and others believe that there may be a soul hidden in Xiao Hao's body. Whether it is true or not, this is a bad thing for Xiao Hao herself. It is likely to lead to overt and covert competition among various orthodox schools. She is a small Inspired Taoist priests can only be slaughtered by others.
Mu Xingqiu had secretly observed Xiaohao and used the Frost Soul Sword on her, but he could not detect any sign of the soul. Of course, if Zuo Liuying had acted in advance, his detection would be ineffective.
The few people walked a short distance and were about to use their swords to catch up with the wedding party that had already set off. Mu Xingqiu suddenly felt a heat on his back. This was a warning of a spell attack. Before he could turn around in time, he spread out his arms and pushed Yang Qingyin and Xiao away. Qingtao, the whip in his sleeves automatically stretched out, releasing a piece of lightning to protect the bald man on his back and shoulders.
The whip followed his heart. At the critical moment, Mu Xingqiu suddenly cast the seventh-level illusion, and in a second thought, it was reduced to the fifth-level illusion.
The spell was cast a little hastily, and when he heard a bang from behind, Mu Xingqiu was pushed out more than ten steps by a huge wave of heat. He turned around with a leap, and at the same time let the lightning network protect his whole body. He was looking for the enemy's position when he saw Yang Qingyin. Looking at him with a smile on the side, "Don't be nervous, I'm just trying to see if your spell is really more powerful than the Shanxia realm, anh.om now I have no doubts."
It turned out that the fireball was caused by Yang Qingyin, and Mu Xingqiu reluctantly put away the spell.
But Baldy liked this kind of surprise very much. He praised it a few times and suddenly asked Xiao Qingtao, "You can try it later and see my reaction."
It was already afternoon when they caught up with the team. Flea ran over and stared at Mu Xingqiu sternly, as if he was dissatisfied that he always left her to go out. Xiaohao didn't notice Xiaoqiu and the others leaving at all, but was with the princess's guards. Very well mixed.
After camping in the evening, a group of officials and ladies came to visit as usual. This time it didn't last long, but the gifts left behind were extremely rich. The princess seemed to be more interested, and ordered the maids around her to pass on the gifts to The entourage also included Taoist priests from Pangshan.
Mu Xingqiu was in the tent looking at the talisman-writing memory he had stolen from Lan Bingju. He was surprised by the many materials listed inside, and Zeng Fu went outside to see him.
After Zeng Fu came in, he greeted the bald man first, put down the small box containing the gifts, took out a paper charm from his sleeve, and said seriously: "Come, let's change our identities, the princess wants to see you." (To be continued.) )
