Chapter 295: Quick Decision, Decisive Game
Lou Yizhi's fingers flashed with white light, and two crystal clear cold lights shot out, piercing through the atmosphere, bringing up pieces of ice and snow, and hitting Shi Xuan at a speed faster than the sound of sword energy and thunder. Along the way, all space was frozen, transparent and flickering with a dreamy glimmer.
This made Shi Xuan's eyes condense. He didn't expect Lou Yizhi to have such a deep understanding of the Taoist arts of ice and snow. It only took her about 25 years to practice the fourth-level Taoist art of quick freezing cold light that she got when she was in touch with heaven and man to the fifth level. Normally, it would take nearly 50 years. Maybe she also had some adventures? After all, it's not Shi Xuan who can have adventures.
She just fought with Song Wenyao. Shi Xuan didn't feel it in person, so his judgment was inevitably a little careless. No wonder she was ranked 12th on the Tianji List and the first among the top-grade golden elixir masters who had the same time as her.
At the same time, Lou Yizhi not only had the protection of the bright moon hanging down from behind him, but also a beautiful woman with pale eyebrows and indifferent and aloof appeared in his palm. She was wearing plain white clothes, black hair, and no other ornaments on her body. With a finger, an endless blizzard suddenly broke out beside Lou Yizhi, completely covering her figure, causing Shi Xuan's sense to suddenly miss. When the five-colored sword light penetrated the blizzard, it did not hit anything.
However, Shi Xuan was not panicked when facing tens of thousands of differentiated ice soul cold light swords and Lou Yizhi who could not be found. His pupils turned purple, and countless tiny lightning flashes flashed in them. His fingers kept ejecting black and white intertwined two-element sword qi to hit the quick freezing cold light that came later but arrived first.
After consuming dozens of two-element sword qi, Shi Xuan finally offset the quick freezing cold light. As for the countless ice soul cold light sword lights that followed, they made dense ding-dong sounds like rain hitting banana leaves.
However, Shi Xuan had already estimated the power of the Ice Soul Cold Light Sword. Although the golden light and golden lotus of the other side of the golden bridge transformed by the Tai Chi diagram swayed under the heavy rain, they were as stable as Mount Tai.
After a burst of rapid attacks, Shi Xuan took advantage of Lou Yizhi's wholehearted avoidance of his lightning purple pupil search, and the Ice Soul Cold Light Sword was a little weak, so he spread his sleeves and released the black and white energy again, entangled thousands of tiny cold lights and dragged them into his sleeves.
Lou Yizhi had to take action, otherwise all his life spirit tools would be taken away by Shi Xuan, and the defeat would be certain. Therefore, he did not care about hiding his body, and one after another of the freezing cold light hit Shi Xuan like freezing the sky and the earth, while preparing to launch in his palm. Once Shi Xuan's five-color sword light flew over, he immediately used the blizzard Taoist technique that had just been used to isolate the consciousness and hide the body - "Snow and Wind Block the Way Home".
Although Shi Xuan's Thunder Light Purple Eyes were only at the first level, and he was a little powerless when searching for Lou Yi across the blizzard just now, now that she had revealed her figure, the Thunder Light Purple Eyes and the divine consciousness double locked her, and the Five Elements Immortal-Destroying Sword was divided into four sword lights, forming a small teleportation array, and in an instant, it slashed in front of Lou Yizhi. The blizzard did not interfere with Shi Xuan at all.
Seeing that he could not escape and was locked by the sword light, he had to grit his teeth and use the Taoist art of "Ice and Snow Guardian". A tornado that rolled up countless snowflakes and ice chips appeared beside Lou Yizhi, and inside was the icicles hanging from the bright moon, and there was also a Taoist robe that turned into an ice shell with rune characters on it.
The five-color sword light surged, sharp and sharp, and seeing the flaw, just one sword cut the Taoist art that combined ice, snow and wind in half, showing the power of the sixth-level Taoist art and the Beidou Guiding Mentality.
After breaking through the "Ice and Snow Guardian", the ice pillar only lasted for a moment longer before being chopped into pieces of ice by the Five Elements Immortal-Destroying Sword, and the bright moon behind Lou Yizhi disappeared instantly.
After breaking through two layers of defense, the five-colored sword light did not weaken, but became more and more intense. With the addition of sword energy and thunder sound, two consecutive swords slashed at the flaw of the same defensive ban in two moments, and the ice shell was beaten back to its original form of a Taoist robe.
Lou Yizhi saw in his consciousness that Shi Xuan did not hold on under the attack of several freezing cold lights of his own space, but instead showed the purple and green wings he had used in the fight with the King of Samsara, and flapped them, and appeared behind him, avoiding his attack.
Lou Yizhi could have controlled the freezing cold light to turn, but the five-colored sword light had already stopped at her neck, so she had to use her consciousness to say lightly: "Give up." Then she let the freezing cold light hit the ground, and erected an ice pillar that connected the sky and the ground and flashed with cold light.
Shi Xuan saw Lou Yizhi admit defeat and Yan Qianying also released the ban on the fighting platform, so he bowed and said, "Senior Lou, I admit it."
Except for the two doors, Lou Yizhi's Taoist skills are all around the third level, and the defensive spiritual weapon is only the second level. So when he can just rely on his own swordsmanship and the sixth-level Taoist skills of the Five Elements Immortal Destroying Sword, Shi Xuan did not choose to expose the secret that the Five Elements Immortal Destroying Sword can ignore the five-element defensive Taoist skills below the eighth level. You must know that ice-based skills are considered to be water in the five elements, and Shi Xuan used the Ten Thousand Years Ice Soul Heart to condense the Five Elements Immortal Destroying Sword.
Lou Yizhi still nodded without expression, but after she nodded, she opened her mouth and uttered two words: "Not bad." Then she recombined those Ice Soul Cold Light Swords and took them back.
Unexpectedly, he was slightly surprised to receive praise from Lou Yizhi, a basically silent and frosty woman. Then he was a little happy. After saluting again, he flew back to his own reed tent.
Because of Lou Yizhi's plan to fight quickly, the battle was over before the onlookers could come to their senses. It was not until Shi Xuan returned to the reed tent of the Penglai Sect that they woke up and began to discuss and analyze the battle, hoping to gain something from it. As for Shi Xuan, most people felt that he deserved the seventh place on the Tianji List.
"Disciple congratulates Master for his easy victory." Chu Wan'er smiled and approached Shi Xuan.
Shi Xuan smiled and shook his head: "It's also because Senior Lou didn't want to fight for a long time." In fact, if there was no Five Elements Immortal-Destroying Sword, Shi Xuan's Taoism and natal spiritual weapon were slightly inferior to Lou Yizhi, and he was at a disadvantage.
Chu Wan'er didn't care at all, as long as the master won, so Shi Xuan took the opportunity to explain the battle to her and told Xie Fangwei about Lou Yizhi's Taoism and natal spiritual weapon. Although the overall situation had changed and Xie Fangwei's overall strength was better than Lou Yizhi, it was always right to make more preparations.
After Lou Yizhi took a breath, Xie Fangwei went out to fight again. With his superior strength in Taoism and his own spiritual weapon, apart from the quick freezing cold light, he finally defeated Lou Yizhi after a protracted battle.
Afterwards, Luofu Sect and Yingzhou Sect fought evenly. After Qiao Mubai got the Great Freedom Flying Sword, his swordsmanship and sword intention made rapid progress. Although he could not use magic weapons, he still overwhelmed Dong Mingzi and won with a relatively obvious advantage, which made Lingri, Xie Fangwei and Shi Xuan who were watching frown.
Especially Lingri, comparing his own strength, found that if he was not careful, he would be defeated by Qiao Mubai, so he focused on watching Qiao Mubai's every move.
Nianhua and Yingzhou Sect's Dong Yuanzi fought two battles, losing first and then winning. In the end, Luofu Sect defeated Yingzhou Sect 2 to 1 and will compete with Penglai Sect for the top spot in this Cangmang Dharma Assembly.
Three high-grade golden elixirs in the reed tent of Penglai Sect began to discuss, while other masters, elders, disciples, including Master Zhang, were watching and did not disturb them.
"Master Lingri, I wonder what your chances are of winning against Qiao Mubai?" Xie Fangwei asked Lingri about his confidence.
Lingri smiled bitterly and said, "Before I came, I thought I could have a slight advantage, but after watching his two matches, I think it's probably a 50-50 chance. Fortunately, this Cangmang Dharma Assembly prohibits the use of magic weapons, otherwise, with his Great Freedom Flying Sword, all the masters present would have to bow their heads and admit defeat." Qiao Mubai's Great Freedom Flying Sword belongs to him, so strictly speaking, it is considered part of his strength.
Xie Fangwei nodded, and did not say anything else. He turned to ask Shi Xuan: "What about you, Junior Brother Shi? How confident are you against Nianhua?" Nianhua, Lou Yizi, and Xu Yucheng Dan at about the same time, all more than 20 years, their natal spirit weapons are all more than the first level, and their power is equivalent to spirit weapons of more than two levels. Most of his Taoist skills are third-level, and only two or three are fourth-level.
Shi Xuan thought for a while and said: "Junior Brother is guarding the Golden Bridge on the Other Shore. His natal flying sword, the Red Dust Sword, is fully powered, and there is a little hope to break it. But with the Five Elements Immortal-Destroying Sword, Junior Brother will not give him this opportunity, and his other Taoist skills cannot break the Golden Bridge on the Other Shore. And Nianhua has not yet mastered the sword light differentiation, so Junior Brother is 80% to 90% confident." This is considered full of confidence.
Although Xie Fangwei did not have the strength to win overwhelmingly, he was also sure to win against Nianhua, so he also said: "Brother, I am also 70% to 80% sure."
Lingri on the side reminded: "I think Nianhua is also very talented. After losing to Dongyuanzi in the first battle, he was able to find a targeted strategy in just half a quarter of an hour and turned the defeat into victory in the second game. You two must not be careless."
Although Shi Xuan and Xie Fangwei were full of confidence, they would never underestimate any Jindan Grandmaster. After listening to Lingri's reminder, they were also prepared in their hearts.
When the sun was high, Guanghan Sect defeated Yingzhou Sect 2 to 1 and won the third place in this Dharma Assembly. Yan Qianying lost to Dongmingzi, and Lou Yizi defeated Dongyuanzi twice.
Seeing that his sect got the third place, Yan Qianying was also in a good mood, and smiled and said: "Now it's Penglai Sect vs. Luofu Sect, the first match, Lingri vs. Qiao Mubai."
Seeing the final battle begin, the two sides are also the second and third figures on the Tianji list, all the cultivators are holding their breath and waiting quietly for this battle.
Lingri and Qiao Mubai greeted each other, and their respective void illusions unfolded. On one side was the ancient thunderstorm sky, and on the other side was the sword energy turning into clouds, invincible, and nothing could be cut.
The two were equally powerful, and this battle took a long time. Until the sunset, Qiao Mubai relied on the great freedom sword intent and narrowly defeated Lingri by half a move.
"Haha, this time the Tianji list is wrong, the third ranked defeated the second." After a bystander cultivator was amazed, he saved this matter.
There were also dissenting opinions: "There is only one ranking difference, and the strength is comparable. Who wins and who loses depends on who can seize the opportunity. If it happens again, Qiao Mubai may not win."
"That's right, otherwise the Jindan Grandmasters of their respective ranks don't need to fight, just look at the ranking directly."
…………
After Ling Ri returned to the tent, he had a very satisfied expression on his face, without any frustration, but still said solemnly: "I'll leave it to the two nephews next."
Shi Xuan and Xie Fangwei were also mentally prepared for the result of the first game. They had already discussed the countermeasures. Next, Shi Xuan, who had a better grasp of the opportunity, would fight to win quickly, hit Nian Hua's confidence, and regain momentum.
