Chapter 292: The Gate of Hell Opens, Yellow Springs Roll
The monks around suddenly became quiet, and then immediately started talking. For a moment, it seemed as if many flies appeared in the valley, making a buzzing sound.
For them, because of the impression of the Cangmang Dharma Assembly a hundred years ago, Penglai Sect and Netherworld Sect were the top two sects in their hearts. They didn't expect that a dragon and a tiger would fight at the beginning, and the King of Samsara, who was the first on the Tianji List, and Lingri, who was the second, were in these two sects respectively. It really made people look forward to the duel between the two.
After hearing this, Shi Xuan raised his eyebrows slightly and felt amused. This was also a coincidence. He didn't expect to really run into the King of Samsara. So he turned to Ling Ri and Xie Fangwei and said, "Uncle Ling Ri, Senior Brother Xie, I will fight against the King of Samsara later."
Ling Ri has always treated Shi Xuan as his own nephew because of Ming Qingyue. At this time, out of concern, he said with some doubts, "Although Shi Xuan has a sixth-level Taoist technique, the King of Samsara is not easy to deal with. His Taoist techniques should be around the fifth level, and his life spirit weapon, the Sword of Life and Death, must be more than two levels, equivalent to the seventh-level Taoist technique. In my opinion, you are afraid that you will have a hard time winning. It is better to let me deal with it."
The competition between the top-grade golden elixir masters is divided into three games. The two winners advance. If there are only two top-grade golden elixirs in the sect, the one with the weaker cultivation strength will fight in two games. If there is only one top-grade golden elixir, then it is considered a direct loss, otherwise the advantages of the sects with more top-grade golden elixir masters cannot be reflected.
In other words, in the battle with the Netherworld Sect, the King of Samsara can only fight once, while their other top-grade golden elixir master, the Corpse King, will fight twice.
"Junior knows his own business. It will be difficult to defeat the King of Samsara." Shi Xuan admitted that his strength was insufficient without any care. After all, he had only achieved the Golden Elixir for four years. Even if he fully unleashed the power of the Tai Chi Diagram and cooperated with the Five Elements Immortal-Destroying Sword, he could only support it for a little longer at most. After all, the King of Samsara is the first on the Tianji List, and there is no false reputation under his reputation. Moreover, the Tai Chi Diagram and the Yin-Yang Two Qi Bottle can only be used as pure defense or as auxiliary, which makes it even more difficult to compete with the King of Samsara.
"However, if the younger generation meets the King of Samsara, you, Uncle Lingri, and Brother Xie fight against the Corpse King, you will be able to win." Shi Xuan continued, imitating the story of Tian Ji's horse racing.
Shi Xuan's words were easy to understand. The Cangmang Dharma Assembly had been held for more than a hundred times, and similar methods had been used by others. However, there was still a problem. Therefore, Xie Fangwei asked with a gentle smile: "But this matter still requires the consent of the King of Samsara. Are you sure, Junior Brother Shi?" The list of duels requires the consent of both parties.
Shi Xuan smiled and said: "Senior Brother, you should remember that during the Jindan Ceremony of Junior Brother, the King of Samsara had spied on me, but failed, so he said that he would compete with Junior Brother at the Cangmang Dharma Assembly. At that time, there were hundreds of Jindan Grandmasters and Soul Stage masters who heard it. If you use these words to squeeze the King of Samsara, he can't go back on his word, right?" Even if the King of Samsara was just talking nonsense at the time, he still had to save his face when Shi Xuan grabbed him.
The most important thing is that even if the Netherworld Sect loses the duel with the Penglai Sect, after the seats are arranged at the end, the last four sects will have a chance to challenge the first four sects to prevent failure caused by accidents or early encounters between strong sects.
Moreover, Shi Xuan also had his own dark thoughts. When the King of Samsara rashly spied on him, the two of them had a small grudge. Under normal circumstances, Shi Xuan would not trouble the King of Samsara for such a small matter, or fight for life and death. But now that he has the opportunity to compete and contribute to the sect, Shi Xuan does not mind taking the opportunity to trick him. He just doesn't know whether the fighting platform set up by Yuanshen Zhenren can prevent the ability of the Five Elements Immortal Sword to cut through luck. It is a means that only celestial immortals have when it comes to luck.
Hearing what Shi Xuan said, Ling Ri and Xie Fangwei nodded slightly. It would be good to be able to successfully take down the Netherworld Sect, but Ling Ri was a little regretful that he could not fight the King of Samsara.
So Ling Ri used his spiritual sense to tell Yan Qianying about the arrangements of the Penglai Sect, and told her what Shi Xuan said. Yan Qianying's mouth was slightly curved when she heard it. She didn't expect that Shi Xuan would seize the opportunity when the King of Samsara said a polite word, and squeezed her into fighting. She had to remind her disciples to be careful when speaking in the future!
Next, as the person who presided over the Dharma Assembly, Yan Qianying conveyed the words to the head of the Netherworld Sect and the two Jindan Grandmasters without omission. After a moment of silence, the answer came from the reed tent of the Netherworld Sect.
Yan Qianying said with a slight smile: "The first match between Penglai Sect and Netherworld Sect, Shi Xuan vs. King of Samsara."
As soon as this was said, the other cultivators were all shocked. It was not difficult for everyone to see what Penglai Sect was thinking, but why did the Netherworld Sect agree?
"Master, is it possible that King of Samsara and Shi Xuan have a grudge?" A disciple asked his Jindan Master.
The Jindan Grandmasters all have excellent memories. In a blink of an eye, they remembered what happened three and a half years ago and smiled: "No, it was during the Jindan Ceremony that King of Samsara took the initiative to issue a letter of challenge and invited Shi Xuan to compete at the Cangmang Dharma Assembly." As for his heart, he would rather believe that this was a polite remark made by King of Samsara after he and Shi Xuan had secretly fought and failed to gain an advantage.
"So that's how it is. But why did the King of Samsara challenge Shi Xuan? Do the two have a grudge?" The disciple went back to his original train of thought.
…………
Regardless of how other cultivators viewed him, Shi Xuan straightened his robe, stood up, and was about to fly out of the tent.
"Master." Chu Wan'er called out, and when she saw Shi Xuan turning his head to look at her, she smiled sweetly and said, "No matter what, you are the most powerful." In the past few years, Wan'er has been doing well in Penglai Sect, and has made great progress in both knowledge and character, so she also knows that her master has only achieved the Golden Core for four years, and there is a big gap between him and the Golden Core Grandmaster like the King of Samsara who has been in the Golden Core for sixty or seventy years.
Shi Xuan smiled and nodded, turned into a green light and went out of the tent, landing on the fighting stage. The surroundings were endless, and under his feet was white jade emitting a hazy white light, as if he was in the white clouds.
The yellow near-black escape light of the King of Samsara also fell opposite Shi Xuan, revealing a figure in a purple robe. His expression was calm, without any anger, and he arched his hand: "Fellow Daoist Shi, please." This is considered to be self-respect for his status and self-confidence in strength, and he disdains to take the first step.
Since the King of Samsara acted like this, Shi Xuan was not modest. The Tai Chi diagram turned into a golden bridge on the other side and fell on his head, with golden light and golden lotuses hanging down to protect his whole body. This was to use the Tai Chi diagram as a pure defensive spiritual weapon, so he was not afraid of others seeing the clues. Moreover, the cloud and mist fairy clothes on his body turned into a light cloud and mist to stick to his body, and the divine light of the divine sky and thunder surrounded his body.
After slowly preparing the protection, Shi Xuan said to the King of Samsara: "Then Shi will take action." A red, white, gold, blue and black five-color sword light slashed at the King of Samsara like thunder and lightning. When the sword reached the middle, the sword light trembled slightly and split into four identical five-color sword lights, forming a small four-elephant formation, doubling the speed, and in a blink of an eye it arrived beside the King of Samsara.
The King of Samsara's face did not change at all, and a sword light mixed with black and white jumped out from his body. The black was deep and the white was peaceful. Under the shining of the sword light, people had the idea of seeking liberation in their hearts.
After this sword light came out, it split into seven in the blink of an eye, forming a vortex-like formation with half black and half white, which was about to absorb Shi Xuan's Five Elements Immortal-Destroying Sword.
At this time, the other cultivators who were watching realized that these two were the few people among the Jindan Grandmasters who had practiced the splitting of sword light. Even if they could not see the first and second place in the Tianji Ranking, it was worth the trip to see this fight.
In addition, the King of Samsara waved his sleeves, and a turbid yellow river rushed towards Shi Xuan from the sky to the ground. Along the way, the white jade light, breeze and even space that were stained with the turbid water of this river seemed to become a little darker. It was as if he had come to a gloomy and terrifying hell.
This Taoist art is the signature art of the Netherworld Sect, "Huangquan", so Shi Xuan recognized it. It is good at polluting spiritual tools, souls, and bodies. If an ordinary Jindan master is hit by it, it will be doomed. Shi Xuan saw that its power is the fifth level, and the power of the Tai Chi diagram is equivalent to the fourth level of Taoist art. If it is taken hard, it is likely to be polluted. Although it is just a battle, it is not bad.
So Shi Xuan's mind moved, and a green wind wing and a purple thunder wing appeared on his back. With a light flap, he appeared in another direction, and the four sword lights transformed by the Five Elements Immortal Extermination Sword suddenly merged, breaking away from the absorption of the Life and Death Impermanence Sword. The sword light unfolded, sometimes split and sometimes merged, and the five colors rolled, fighting with the Life and Death Impermanence Sword.
According to the calculation of the Beidou Guiding Mentality, although the Five Elements Immortal Extermination Sword was one level lower than the Life and Death Impermanence Sword, and the sword light was divided into three less, they were still evenly matched, so that the Samsara King, the natal spiritual tool, had no time to attack Shi Xuan.
At the same time, Shi Xuan flicked his ten fingers, and dozens of black and white sword lights that were the same as the sword light of the Life and Death Sword broke through the air towards the King of Samsara. There was a loud ziz sound, and for a moment, the sword energy was everywhere. Slightly different from the sword light of the Life and Death Sword, the two-way sword energy was solemn in black and sacred in white.
Moreover, Shi Xuan had already unfolded his own illusion of the void. Compared with the last time he killed Li Huaiyuan, there was no chaos, no black and white light, but only thunderclouds of various colors, emitting purple, silver, or blue electric snakes, and thunder rolling at the same time, as if returning to the sky of the ancient times.
The King of Samsara waved his hand gently, and the entire battle arena suddenly became dark, revealing a dark and gloomy hill, a red pool of magma, and a turbid yellow river flowing in between. Countless dishevelled, terrifying evil ghosts were crying and wailing, and behind them were black and white ghosts, Yakshas, and Impermanence escorting them. In front of them stood judges who announced the decision. From time to time, evil ghosts were thrown into the red pool by Yakshas and Impermanence, and turned into green smoke amidst the wailing.
The two empty illusions intertwined, and although Shi Xuan's was one level lower, it was not too much, so even though the horror of hell dominated, there were still many lightning snakes flashing in the air, killing those evil ghosts, ghosts, Yakshas, Impermanence, etc.
