Chapter 74: The Way of Cloud Law, I Am the Only One! (The Third Update)

The way of Yunfa is only mine!
Different from the changes in other spells, cloud magic always follows the path of dominance.

The civil war between the Si Nongs and the struggle for air supremacy is the top priority.

Zhao Xing gathered the clouds again and quickly organized a second attack before Cao Qiu Shui could counterattack.

The clouds piled up at the edges, forming a cloud mountain, like a rock blocking the way ahead. Cao Qiushui's flowing clouds were split in the middle, which was a sign of splitting into two.

This move really shocked Cao Qiu Shui.

Among many professions, the number of Si Nong who dare to climb mountains is the smallest, and those who dare to be the first to do so are even fewer.

On the first night, Cao Qiu Shui didn't encounter any decent opponents in the same profession.

Now he knew that he had met a strong enemy!

It happened in a flash. The next second after Cao Qiu Shui's flowing clouds were separated by the cloud mountain, the flowing clouds on both sides rolled up, and the clouds like rivers rose rapidly, climbed over the top of the mountain, and reunited on the cloud mountain before they were completely separated.

"Like flowing clouds or hanging rivers, Cao Qiu Shui's reaction is really fast." Zhao Xing saw this scene and knew that his plan of a quick attack had failed.

He absorbed the energy of the four people, and originally wanted to take advantage of the time when Cao Qiu Shui had dealt with the rest and was still unstable to cut them off quickly.

He imitated the previous move and used the small to defeat the big, swallowing up Cao Qiu Shui's cloud.

But Cao Qiu Shui reacted quickly. Not only did he resolve the crisis, but the flowing clouds also formed a cloud mountain when they climbed up to the top of the cloud mountain, in an attempt to crush Zhao Xing's cloud layer.

The spell confrontation changes rapidly.

In terms of spell strength, the intermediate cloud spell is indeed stronger than the primary one. Seeing this, Zhao Xing had no choice but to disperse the clouds below, break them into small pieces, take the opportunity to shrink back a bit, and then condense again.

"What? This..." Cao Qiu Shui was stunned.

He thought he had crushed Zhao Xing's cloud, but he didn't expect the opponent's cloud control technology to be so powerful that he didn't suffer much loss under the heavy pressure.

It is easy to break the cloud into small pieces, but it is very difficult to condense it again. It is like pretending to retreat on the battlefield. Only high-ranking generals can do this. If you are not careful, it will lead to a real defeat!

How difficult is it to control countless clouds at the same time, allowing them to quickly circumvent enemy attacks and regroup?

Cao Qiu Shui found it difficult to do so, not to mention the gap in realm.

This move by Zhao Xing really showed off to him!
"I feel like his Cloud Movement has not yet reached the true mid-level power, but I don't know how much better his control skills are than mine."

"Master, this is a true master!"

An expert will know if there is one as soon as he takes action.

After three clashes in a short period of time, Cao Qiu Shui realized that his opponent was no ordinary person.

It is impossible to defeat the opponent by relying on cloud magic in a short period of time.

However, Zhao Xing saw it earlier, because his Xingyun was only at the ninth level of the initial stage, while Cao Qiu Shui's Liuyun was at the fourth level of the intermediate stage.

Although I have better control skills and more experience, I have to use the small to defeat the big, and I must see the advantage quickly, otherwise it will be disadvantageous to me.

So Zhao Xing used his "out-of-the-box tactics" again.

"The cold wind is rising!"

Zhao Xing stretched out his hand and pointed, and a cold wind from underground came instantly.

A cold wind blows at midnight, quickly and easily.

Yin Feng's characteristics are hidden and other professions cannot see it at all. Even the other defeated Si Nong in the Temple of Heaven Square did not notice it.

A gust of cold wind blew through the crowd and blew accurately towards Cao Qiu Shui.

At this moment, Zhao Xing's eyebrows jumped.

Use force with both feet and jump to the side immediately.

At the original location, a hole suddenly collapsed, one and a half meters wide and two meters deep.

"The land-breaking method of the Geographical Faction?" Zhao Xing stared at the pit, a hint of surprise flashed in his eyes, but then he suddenly realized.

Cao Qiu Shui also thought of using tricks outside the board. He is the descendant of Caoxi Zhenjun, and Caoxi is good at the magic of the Dili School.

Cao Qiu Shui was casting a spell when he suddenly shuddered. The spell was interrupted and he failed to unleash the full power of the Earth-Splitting Technique.

Then everything in front of my eyes started to become blurry and I felt confused and dazed, as if I had been working for three days and three nights.

"Buzz~" The gray straw raincoat on his body glowed with light, and the jade pendant on his chest also sparkled, transmitting a flow of heat into his body.

Only then did Cao Qiu Shui come to his senses.

"Is this... Yin Feng Fa?"

Cao Qiu Shui's scalp suddenly felt numb.

He never imagined that among the farmers who went climbing this time, there was someone who mastered the Yinfeng magic!

Moreover, the spell is extremely powerful, far beyond the level of one or two turns.

He was wearing a third-grade, top-grade soul jade. The originally smooth jade pendant was now full of cracks and dull!

"Cao, Cao... I admit defeat!"

Cao Qiu Shui said this with a trembling voice, quickly removed the clouds, and jumped out of the Temple of Heaven Square in three or two steps to show that he dared not compete with him anymore.

"What? Brother Cao, why is this happening?!" The members of Cao Qiu Shui's team looked at him in great surprise.

It was impossible for Si Nong to compete for the first incense stick alone. Even if Cao Qiu Shui got the incense stick, he could not go up as long as there was a warrior guarding the stone steps. Therefore, many people in the Temple of Heaven Square huddled together for warmth and formed small groups competing for incense.

There are three seventh-level Ju Yuan warriors in Cao Qiu Shui's team, with Si Nong assisting and the warriors charging. They fought for two incense sticks last night, and two of them were the fifth and seventh to enter the temple.

After burning incense, they asked the True Lord for spiritual enlightenment, and they gained a lot during the day.

I didn't expect that on the second night of the competition, Cao Qiu Shui would behave like this, completely different from his bravery last night!
He was even shaking!

"Don't ask why. Trust me. Don't fight for this wave." Cao Qiushui looked at the seven balls of golden light floating in the air and muttered to himself. "I can't fight, at least it's the seventh turn of Yin Feng."

Cao Qiu Shui's defeat shocked everyone.

"What? The Cao family lost?!"

"Who was it, who defeated him?"

"Cao Qiushui is already at the ninth level of Ju Yuan. Is there anyone stronger than him? Why didn't he show up last night?"

"Old Third Cao knows three mid-level spells, and they all have the power of level 4 or 5. This is already extremely rare. Ordinary ninth-level Ju Yuan warriors don't dare to resist him head-on. How could he lose?"

"Is there anyone with a higher level of magic than him?"

In the dark night, countless people were amazed.

But everything happened too fast, from the moment the temple door opened, golden light emerged.

It only took three breaths for the warrior to fly into the air and land on the ground.

As for Zhao Xing and Cao Qiu Shui, they dealt with their respective opponents and then the confrontation produced results.

The whole process only took a dozen breaths.

During the battle, countless thunders and lightnings occurred due to the two people's flying clashes, resulting in no one daring to fly into the air to grab the incense.

Si Nong, who is at the ninth level of Ju Yuan, is not a freeloader. Cao Qiu Shui and another person are evenly matched. That is, two people at the ninth level of Ju Yuan are fighting for the advantage of the weather. Who dares to go up and take on the thunder?
Intermediate spells are no joke!

Judging from Cao Qiu Shui's performance last night, everyone was waiting for him to win and send someone to take away two incense sticks. This was commensurate with the strength of his group. If he wanted to be greedy for more, someone would stop him.

But no one expected that Cao Qiu Shui would be defeated, and he was defeated by another unknown Si Nong.

"The descendants of the Cao family still have something." Zhao Xing said in his heart when he saw Cao Qiuguo decisively retreat.

It is very rare to be able to block the Nine-turn Yin Wind, escape unscathed, and realize that you are no match for the enemy.

He who knows the times is a hero, and what's more, Cao Qiu Shui made an effective counterattack in his own hands.

Unfortunately, he ran into himself.

"Zhao Xing, you, you actually defeated Cao Qiu Shui?" Young Master Zong was extremely shocked.

At this moment, Zhao Xing's clouds had completely covered the Temple of Heaven Square. Lightning was brewing in the clouds, waiting to be unleashed, emitting terrifying power.

Strong winds blew and lightning flashed, warning everyone in the square not to act rashly.

"It's just luck." Zhao Xing said casually, "Master Zong, how many incense sticks did you originally plan to take?"

"Two incense sticks." Uncle Cang continued, "Send at least two people into the temple."

"I'll help you grab these two incense sticks, and the two hundred taels will be written off. Are you willing?" Zhao Xing looked at Zong Shichang.

"Yes, it's absolutely fine!" Zong Shichang slapped his thigh, "Quick, quick, Uncle Cang, Uncle Hu, jump! Go get two incense sticks!"

"Wait, take four incense sticks." Zhao Xing said calmly, "I want one for myself, and I'll give you one more. Do you want to exchange it for five hundred taels?"

"Change!" Zong Shichang said immediately, "But will this work?"

There are only seven incense sticks left on the field, and so many people are watching. If they want to take away four incense sticks at once, will they be besieged?
"You'll know if it works after you try it."

Zhao Xing waved his hand, his voice moving with the wind: "Young Master Zong and I will take four incense sticks, and the remaining three will be shared among you all."

"After I finish speaking, who is in favor and who is against?"

The voice was calm, but it revealed a strong confidence.

Zong Shichang, who was standing next to him, looked at Zhao Xing's back and wished he could rush up and give him a kiss.

Zhao Xing is so kind that he even brings him along to show off.

Zong Shichang had never felt that these few hundred taels were worth spending!
It’s so enjoyable, so enjoyable!

"Right, right, right, who dares not to accept it?!" Zong Shichang also shouted at the top of his voice. It's a pity that he couldn't remember it after coming down the mountain, otherwise he could have boasted for a year!
Brother Zhao and I killed people in Tiantan Square! We defeated all the heroes!
"Who are you? Why do you want to take up four incense sticks?!" Someone sneered in the dark night, "Zong Shichang is nothing but a waste. The three masters you invited are only at the eighth level of Ju Yuan."

"Your cloud method is good, but if we all rush at you, can you still stand your ground?"

Some people questioned Zhao Xing's strength, because Yunfa had little killing power and could only play a supporting role at most.

Cao Qiu Shui's Cloud Method and Earth-Splitting Method are both at the fourth or fifth intermediate level. They have a great suppressive effect on warriors, but that's just suppression.

Ultimately he still had to cooperate with the warriors in his team to unleash the strength of the team, but he only dared to ask for two incense sticks.

Where did you come from? How dare you ask for four incense sticks?

"Boom!"

Zhao Xing stretched out his hand and pointed, and a bolt of lightning suddenly fell from the clouds in the sky and headed straight for the source of the sound.

Intermediate spell, seven turns of lightning!
The man who had just spoken suddenly let out a scream and fell to the ground with a charred body.

Amidst the lightning and thunder, everyone saw his miserable appearance.

Zhao Xing directly answered his questions with magic!

It’s a pity that the price of this questioning was a bit high, and the man was directly struck and lost his combat effectiveness.

Zhao Xing showed through his actions that he is not Cao Qiu Shui, he is even more powerful!

Cao Qiu Shui's spells tend to be auxiliary, but he not only has offensive spells, but his spells are also at a higher level than Cao Qiu Shui's!

"Seventh level of thunder?" Wen Zhao waved his feather fan and looked up at the sky. His pupils shrank. "Bo Ran, with my help, can you withstand it?"

Zhang Boran rolled his eyes: "Even if you give me two more layers of magic, I may not be able to withstand it."

"He devoured the energy of eight people, so he can at least send down dozens of thunderbolts. How many layers of magic can you stack for me?"

"Unless your peace of mind can make him disperse the clouds, I will charge forward and reach him. Even if the two eighth-level Juyuan warriors of the Zong family join forces, I am confident that they can defeat them."

Wen Zhao was shocked when he heard this: "Oh no! I burned his straw man before. Will he hold a grudge against me?"

Zhang Boran said helplessly: "Let's take it one step at a time."

"Is there anyone else who refuses to accept?" Zhao Xing spoke again.

Now no one in the square dared to say a word.

The one who was struck by the sword just now was an eighth-level Juyuan warrior. He did not die because of his thick skin and flesh, but he lost his combat effectiveness immediately.

Because of Yang Junxiong, the number of ninth-level Juyuan masters has been reduced by three. Now, there are fewer masters who dare to compete than last night.

This seven-turn lightning spell alone can completely take up four incense sticks! Not to mention that there are a group of warriors gathered by Zong Shichang around Zhao Xing.

"Damn it, this bastard is so arrogant!" Although Lu Qian didn't see the person, she recognized the voice. The person who spoke was the guy who kidnapped her.

"Qian'er, you're really acting strange today. Why do you lose your composure so many times? What happened?" Liu Muqing noticed something was wrong. "Have you ever had any experience with the person who's talking to you?"

"No, no." Lu Qian avoided her eyes.

"Then where is your Sparrow Feather vestment?" Liu Muqing pointed at Lu Qian, "You couldn't have lost it while taking a bath, did you?"

"...This, this, anyway, there is a reason." Lu Qian blushed and stammered, unable to speak.

"Young Master Zong, send someone to get the incense." Seeing that no one dared to object, Zhao Xing gestured to Zong Shichang.

The latter liked Zhao Xing more and more because he always talked to him directly about everything instead of discussing it with Uncle Cang and Uncle Hu.

This sense of importance is exactly what Young Master Zong wants!
"Okay, take the incense!" Zong Shichang waved his hands excitedly.

Two Ju Yuan Rank 8 warriors jumped up and took four incense sticks each.

Then he spun around and landed on the ground, easily eliminating the impact with the ground.

"Brother Zhao, thank you very much." Uncle Cang gave a stick of incense to Zhao Xing, and the golden light came from it.

"You're welcome." Zhao Xing took the incense.

There are four incense sticks in total, one for Uncle Cang and one for Uncle Hu.

Zong Shichang took the third portion himself.

"Yuan Bo, I'm relying on you to get him in." Zong Shichang looked at the middle-aged man next to him, who was the third master who had remained silent.

When Zong Shichang asked the question, he just nodded.

Zhao Xing took a look and happened to meet the other person's eyes, and his heart skipped a beat.

There is a statue of God hidden in the other person's eyes!
This is actually a priesthood!
"Zong Shichang, how rich is your family? You can even hire a priest?"

There were many officials participating in this mountain climbing, from all departments, but there were very few officials from the temple.

Because the temple officials are special, they don't need to be talented, their magic and skills are not normal ways to get promoted. Moreover, the clergy are famous for being pure and indifferent to fame and wealth.

With more contact with the Yin Spirit, distracting thoughts will become fewer and various desires will greatly subside.

"We'll go over there and wait."

"Walk."

After taking four incense sticks, Zhao Xing also withdrew Xingyun.

There's no use burning too much incense, as you only get one chance per night.

And there will be second and third waves of incense.

There were still many masters in the Temple of Heaven Square, but they didn't take action at the first time. If he didn't withdraw, he would be an enemy of everyone, which was unnecessary.

"Yang Junxiong and Du Jiaojiao, the winner hasn't been decided yet?"

After leaving the Temple of Heaven Square, I saw two beams of light in front of me, still fighting each other.

Yang Junxiong uses a gun, and Du Jiaojiao also uses a gun.

One red, one silvery white.

Blocked the entrance to the temple.

"My bright eyes are very observant, but I can't see their movements clearly. I can only see light and shadows. I'm afraid these two have already entered the realm of the highest grade." Zhao Xing thought to himself.

If you have adventures, others may have them too.

Yang Junxiong burned the first stick of incense last night, and Du Jiaojiao burned the second stick. By burning incense and praying to the gods, they can at least get the whereabouts of the 'middle-grade Lingxiu' or the method of collecting Lingxiu, and it may even involve high-grade Lingxiu!

The two of them were originally at the ninth level of Ju Yuan, and it was normal for them to enter the next level after obtaining Ling Xiu.

After Zhao Xing left, a fierce battle broke out in the Temple of Heaven Square.

There are only three incense sticks left, but there are still dozens of people.

When you go into a temple to worship gods, the first ten incense sticks you burn will have the best effect.

They can all get the True Lord to show his divine power and tell them the location of Lingxiu or the method to obtain Lingxiu.

What follows is only an implicit revelation, not a clear statement.

Zhao Xing looked at the square quietly, casting the spell of clear eyes to observe.

One of the pairs caught his attention.

"Liuqin music, war dance Dashao?"

There was a melee in the square, but two people stood out from the melee. One of them was someone Zhao Xing had seen before. It was Lu Qian, who had been tied up by him.

She was performing a very wild dance, and another girl holding a liuqin was accompanying her.

This group of dancers and musicians performed Da Shao, one of the Six Songs.

It is said that "Da Shao" was composed by Kui, an ancient music official. It used dance and music to interpret the laws of heaven and earth, attracting all beasts to worship and phoenixes to land in their nests. It was to praise the achievements of the "Xia Emperor" in ancient times.

Da Shao is a war dance as well as a piece of music.

"The dense forests of elephants are like the laws of the land. If you want to hear my beginning, it is mysterious and dark..."

Liu Muqing played the piano and recited, while Lu Qian danced.

As the two of them performed, half of the warriors in the square suddenly attacked their own people uncontrollably.

The other half joined in the dance, which increased the power of [Da Shao].

Only two or three people were able to remain conscious, but their spellcasting and fighting skills were severely distorted.

In the end, there was no choice but to let the two sisters take one piece of incense each.

After proving their strength and getting the fragrance, Lu Qian and Liu Muqing stopped performing.

They bowed towards the Temple of Heaven Square. This was not because they were being polite, but because the "Grand Master of Music Rites" stipulated that this procedure was necessary.

Ritual and music, ritual and music, in the Zhou Dynasty the two were inseparable.

Without this closing ceremony, the performance of the two would not have improved their cultivation (that is, this process is necessary to improve proficiency).

“It’s rare to see someone perform the Da Shao with just music and dance and still have such power,” said Zhao Xing.

"I've known them for a long time, how come I didn't know they were so powerful?" Zong Shichang asked curiously.

Zhao Xing explained: "Da Shao, one of the six songs, is the most important war dance because it requires a large number of people and many musical instruments. The next best ones are Yunmen, Dajuan, Weiwu, Daqing and Dazhang."

"I've seen Da Shao too, but he's not as amazing as you say."

Zhao Xing joked: "What I said was all serious stuff, but is what you listened to serious stuff?"
