Chapter 542 After Nine Rounds

Sister Jiao's trick backfired. By the time she reacted, Qingyang had already sacrificed the fourth flying sword and used the Four Elements Sword Formation to attack.

Not only did Sister Jiao not expect this, but the people around her did not expect it either, and even the high-ranking members of the sects in the stands did not expect it, because the Four Elements Sword Art was too difficult to practice and the requirements for the mind were too high. No one thought that Qingyang would spend a lot of energy to practice this thing.

Sister Jiao is worthy of being the biggest dark horse in this year's inner courtyard competition. Not only is her strength amazing, but her reaction ability is also first-class. Seeing the huge power of the Four Elements Sword Formation, she quickly operated her magic weapon to resist the sword formation, and at the same time mobilized her whole body's true qi to stimulate the purple light flowing cloud yarn to protect her whole body.

However, the Four Elements Sword Formation is not so easy to deal with, especially the Four Elements Sword Formation performed by Qingyang, who is now at the ninth level of Qi Refining. As soon as Sister Jiao's magic weapon touched the sword formation, it was knocked away, and at the same time, the sword formation broke through the layers of defense of the purple light flowing cloud yarn.

At this time, the energy of the Four Elements Sword Formation was almost consumed, and it did not seriously injure Senior Sister Jiao, but only caused her some skin injuries. Senior Sister Jiao wanted to fight again, but the alcoholic bees seized the opportunity. A large group of spirit insects rushed over, bit through the true qi shield, and lay on her face.

Being lying on her face with so many spirit insects, Senior Sister Jiao was frightened and pale. If she was stung, she would be completely disfigured. However, everyone was from the same sect, and there were so many people watching around, Qingyang just let the alcoholic bees maintain the attack posture and did not let them sting.

At this point, Senior Sister Jiao was powerless to save the situation. She knew that Qingyang was showing mercy. If she moved a little, the alcoholic bees might really sting her. Knowing that she had no chance of winning the first place in the competition, Senior Sister Jiao did not insist any more and chose to admit defeat directly.

The ninth round was over, and Qingyang successfully advanced to the finals. At this time, everyone realized that Qingyang was able to make it all the way to the ninth round. It was not a fluke. He was also backed by strong strength. This game was truly in front of everyone, without any water.

Especially the amazing power of the Four Elements Sword Formation, which directly increased Qingyang's strength by two or three levels, surpassing many veteran Qi Refining Perfection cultivators. Originally, many people were still very dissatisfied with Qingyang's entry into the semi-finals, and sneered at his result of relying on luck to get to the ninth round. When they saw Qingyang use the Four Elements Sword Formation at the end of the game, they finally had nothing to say, because they knew very well that if they faced it, they would definitely lose more miserably.

After nine rounds, the inner courtyard competition was approaching its end, and only the last round of the finals was left. The two contestants were Tong Yan and Qingyang. Tong Yan has nothing to say. He has always been the pride of the inner courtyard and the object of everyone's attention. Qing Yang is relatively unfamiliar. However, starting from today, he can't keep a low profile even if he wants to. He also replaced Senior Sister Jiao and became the biggest dark horse of this inner courtyard competition.

With the end of the competition, the onlookers left one after another, and the inner courtyard gradually returned to peace. However, everyone knows that the peace is only temporary, because there will be a more intense competition in ten days to decide who will be the first in the competition, which is related to the ownership of the two foundation-building pills.

During these ten days, Qing Yang has been practicing the Five Elements Sword Formation behind closed doors. After the last round of competition with Senior Sister Jiao, Qing Yang experienced the true strength of the old-fashioned Qi-refining perfect cultivators and knew that there was still a certain gap between him and them. If it weren't for the Four Elements Sword Formation, he didn't know how long it would take to defeat Senior Sister Jiao.

And Tong Yan was able to make it all the way to the finals. His strength is only higher than that of Senior Sister Jiao, and his means are no less than his own. If he didn't have a killer, it would be difficult to win in the end.

Time passed quickly, and ten days passed in a blink of an eye. On the day of the finals, Lu Dingshan and Chen Biwang came to Qingyang's residence early and accompanied Qingyang to the inner courtyard arena.

As they walked, Lu Dingshan said, "Brother Qingyang, we have all inquired about it. Tongyan often uses a low-grade spiritual weapon Fang Tian Huaji, which can be used for close combat and long-range attack. It is amazingly powerful. You have to be careful. He has a treasure called Jinsi Hechang, which is a low-grade defense-level spiritual weapon made of gold silk and crane feathers. The defense is extremely amazing. Unless it is unexpected, it will be difficult for the Four Elements Sword Formation to break his defense."

Chen Biwang also said, "I heard from others that Tongyan's real combat power should be slightly higher than that of the previous Senior Sister Jiao, but it is also limited. As long as you don't make a big mistake, you should be able to barely hold on. What you need to pay attention to are some other means."

The previous competition required drawing lots, and there was still a certain degree of uncertainty. Only Qingyang and Tongyan were left in the finals, and the competition could only be between the two. Therefore, some people who are curious have systematically summarized and compared the two's strength, common methods, battle experience, etc. Qingyang cannot be distracted for the time being. Lu Dingshan and Chen Biwang have already found out all this information.

Chen Biwang continued: "In the sixth and seventh rounds, Tong Yan used a large number of top-grade magic talismans to attack in order to win quickly, which shows that he is not short of spiritual stones. It is very likely that he will use the same trick again during the game. You should be careful about this."

It is certain that Tong Yan is not short of spiritual stones. He was assigned to the inner courtyard as soon as he entered the Qingfeng Palace. He enjoyed the treatment of the inner courtyard from the beginning. Unlike Qingyang and Lu Dingshan, when they were assigned to the miscellaneous courtyard, they did not receive any treatment and had to earn all the cultivation resources by themselves.

After Chen Biwang finished speaking, Lu Dingshan said: "This Tong Yan has a powerful halberd technique, which is as powerful as your Sanyuan Sword Formation. He used it many times in the eighth and ninth rounds of the game, and the two opponents suffered from this."

This kind of thing is not uncommon. Lu Feng of the Demon Suppression Hall once used a powerful sword technique, which was not much less powerful than Qingyang's Sanyuan Sword Formation. As a disciple of the Jindan Elder, it is normal for Tong Yan to have such means.

Tong Yan is stronger than himself. If he adds that powerful halberd technique, it is estimated that it will be not much worse than his own Four Elements Sword Formation. He really needs to be careful. Qingyang nodded and said, "Are there any other special methods?"

Lu Dingshan shook his head and said, "This is all we have found out. There may be omissions. You need to adapt to the situation during the game."

At this time, Chen Biwang suddenly said, "I did find out a few rumors from a friend who is said to be Senior Brother Gao, but there is no basis for it. I don't know if it is true or false."

"What rumors? Tell me." Lu Dingshan said.
