Chapter 78: Suppress All, Childhood Fighting Spirit? !

"The two of them were beaten by the mountain cat." Zhao Xing said lightly.

"Well done." Zong Shichang applauded, "I've been displeased with that chrysanthemum-faced girl for a long time."

"Do you have a grudge against him?" Zhao Xing asked in surprise.

Zong Shichang snorted, "My father wanted to ask a monk to accompany me up the mountain, and he had looked for him before."

"No deal?"

"Even though the deal didn't go through, we still have friendship. We just didn't reach an agreement, so there's no grudge." Zong Shichang said, "He offered a price and was very enthusiastic at first, but after we didn't reach an agreement, he turned around and pretended to be noble, saying that my Zong family is rich and he doesn't want to be associated with them. Isn't this a disgrace to my family?"

Zhao Xing chuckled and said, "This person is really despicable. What's going on between you and Li Chengfeng?"

Zong Shichang had a complicated look on his face. "This happened before we entered the mountain. Don't ask me anymore... I used to truly regard him as a friend. Although we've severed our friendship now, I don't want to talk about him behind his back."

Zhao Xing nodded and asked no more questions.

At this moment, a steady voice came into my ears: "Brother Zhao, I'm sorry, I'm late."

Zhao Xing turned his head and saw a familiar figure walking towards him briskly. It was the martial arts genius, Shen Zhui, who he had not seen for the past two days.

"It's not too late, Brother Shen. There's still half an hour left. You're still early."

"I broke the appointment." Shen Zhui said with a guilty look on his face: "I accidentally entered a paradise and couldn't get out no matter how hard I tried. After I finally got out, I found that it was already the third day, so I hurried here."

"Oh? There is such a thing?" Zhao Xing became interested. "It seems that Brother Shen had an adventure in there."

Shen Zhui nodded and said, "After I entered the Peach Blossom Spring, I found two ten-foot-tall giants playing chess under a huge willow tree. They even called me over."

"I don't know how to play chess, and I thought that place was weird, so I just wanted to get out. But they hit me with chess pieces, and suddenly I came to a battlefield."

"What's the result?" Zong Shichang asked with a gossipy look on his face. "What's the result?"

Shen Zhui raised his head and glanced at Zong Shichang: "In front of me, black and white soldiers appeared, fighting on the battlefield."

"I was forced to follow the white soldiers and attack the other side. Strangely enough, every time I killed a soldier, a sword move flashed through my mind and vitality flowed into my body. When the battle was over, I suddenly left the Peach Blossom Spring again."

"And he has entered the ninth level."

"Hiss!" Zong Shichang took a breath of cold air.

Zhao Xing teased, "Why are you hissing? You act as if I understand."

Zong Shichang said: "Although I didn't understand it, I felt it was very remarkable. Uncle Cang, Uncle Hu, don't you agree?"

Both of them nodded repeatedly. This kind of thing is shocking no matter where it happens.

Yuan Bo suddenly said, "The world is the chessboard, the vital energy is the chess pieces, and the gods are playing chess. You accidentally entered the game and became a chess piece. You happened to be on the winning side, so your cultivation level increased greatly."

"What if he is on the losing side?" Zong Shichang asked.

"Die." Yuan Bo spat out a word.

Shen Zhui's face changed slightly, and it was obvious that he only realized the danger at this moment.

Zhao Xing patted him on the shoulder and said, "No matter what the reason is, Brother Shen, as long as you have gained something, you don't have to think too much about it."

"Yes." Shen Zhui nodded, "I had this realization before I went up the mountain, but I never thought there would be such a thing."

After a pause, he looked at Zhao Xing and said, "Brother Zhao, now that I have entered the rank of master, whether I am the first incense or not is no longer that important to me. I will help you get the first incense tonight to make up for the previous missed appointment."

"Ha ha ha ha."

Shen Zhui frowned and looked at Zong Shichang: "Why are you laughing, sir?"

Zong Shichang pointed at Zhao Xing and said, "If you had come out yesterday, you could have helped him. But now, Zhao Sanjia has a good chance of getting the first prize without you."

"Huh?" Shen Zhui was stunned for a moment. He looked at Zhao Xing again and found that he was already at the ninth level of Ju Yuan.

This would not be a big deal, but after looking at it again, he found that Zhao Xing's temperament was very unique, like the sea, bottomless, and even gave him a very dangerous feeling.

Only then did Shen Zhui notice that there was a kitten's head sticking out from Zhao Xing's chest.

When Shen Zhui looked into the kitten's big, cute eyes, he was shocked. "A rare beast?!"

Zhao Xing stuffed the mountain cat's exposed head back in: "Brother Shen, don't panic. The mountain cat has been subdued by me."

Shen Zhui sighed, "I didn't even notice its existence. This... I just spoke nonsense."

It seems that he is not the only one who has had a fortuitous encounter, Zhao Xing's fortune is even greater.

You should know that before entering the mountain, Zhao Xing was only at the fourth level of Ju Yuan.

Not only has he reached the ninth level of Ju Yuan, he has also subdued a rare beast!

"Many people look at you with hostility. What did you do, Brother Zhao?" Shen Zhui was a little surprised. He was keenly aware of the gazes around him.

It's not about Bobcat, but about Zhao Xing.

This made him quite curious about what Zhao Xing had experienced in the past two days.

"Nothing much, just a friendly exchange between the Bobcats and them."

"Are you instructing Shanmao to steal the spiritual power of many people? How is this friendly?" Shen Zhui seemed to understand something. He felt that Zhao Xing's skills and methods had made great progress.

How much spiritual power did he have to use to make a warrior of the entry level feel threatened?

But how can I get so much by searching on my own?
It must have been the mountain cat who helped to steal it!
Zhao Xing said casually, "Brother Shen, you don't know that mountain cats are wild and hard to tame. They want to kill people when they see them. It was only because of my kindness and earnest persuasion that it only robbed Lingxiu and did not kill anyone."

"As for the Lingxiu that the mountain cat stole, it forced me to take it. What can I do?"

Shen Zhui: “…”

Zong Shichang: “…”

Meow! The mountain cat came out from his arms and looked at Zhao Xing in confusion.

Didn't you ask me to grab it? You're still trying to grab it from me!

"Look, it's being naughty again." Zhao Xing pressed the kitten's head back.

Shen Zhui glanced at the mountain cat and said, "With it here, it seems I can't help you much."

Zong Shichang joked, "How could that be? Brother Shen is a seven-foot-tall man, isn't he more human than a cat?"

Shen Zhui didn't really like Zong Shichang's joke, but for Zhao Xing's sake, he just frowned and said nothing more.

Zong Shichang felt bored and stopped talking to Shen Zhui. He still thought Zhao Sanjia was more interesting.

Of course, the main reason is that Zhao Xing is now attracting a lot of attention.

Zong Shichang thought, since he and Zhao Xing were chatting and laughing so happily, that Miss Liu should look at him with a higher opinion, right?

"It turns out that he is the owner of the mountain cat. It's unbelievable." Liu Muqing couldn't help but sigh as she looked at Zhao Xing's figure.

Originally, the position of Si Nong had no advantages in the competition, and could even be said to be a disadvantage.

But Zhao Xing's performance was beyond everyone's expectations.

Last night, he overpowered Cao Qiu Shui and helped Zong Shichang obtain four incense sticks.

Today, he actually brought over a rare and fine beast, which became the most eye-catching existence.

"Hmph, this guy really doesn't change his bad habits. He only knows how to rob others." Lu Qian gritted her teeth to the point of breaking them. She thought she had a chance to take back her Sparrow Feather vestment tonight.

But who knew that the enemy would become stronger and stronger! Is this fair?
"Qianqian, you seem to care about this person a lot." Du Jiaojiao said softly, "Does he have a grudge against you?"

"No, I simply can't stand the way he does things!" Lu Qian denied.

"If you don't want to tell me, I will think that the sparrow feather robe was given to him by you." Du Jiaojiao said.

Liu Muqing teased, "Yes, just consider it as a gift from you to your lover."

"After tonight, it will be extremely difficult for you to get it back."

"Bah, lover? Why would you think that?!"

"Then will you tell me?"

"Go ahead!" Lu Qian then told Zhao Xing about the fight over the Red Fruit. "Alas, he is now protected by the mountain cat. I am afraid I can't get it back. If he takes it down the mountain, how can I face people in the future? I am so embarrassed."

Liu Muqing smiled and said, "Your Sparrow Feathers vestment has developed a telepathic connection with you, and you will forget about what happened on the mountain after you come down... If you really think you had a wonderful relationship with him on the mountain and go looking for him... Oh my, maybe it will lead to something good."

"Ahhh, I don't want it!" Thinking of the possibility that Liu Muqing said, Lu Qian suddenly went crazy.

As time passed, it became completely dark.

There were fewer people in the Temple of Heaven Square than last night, but there were more experts.

By the end of the hour of Hai, almost all the masters who could be named had gathered in the square.

And they come in groups of three or five, each with their own small group.

Gu Feng, the newly promoted bow warrior, accepted Zhang Boran and Wen Zhao. Hu Yang, the mechanical master, didn't know where he found two warriors to help.

Except for Yang Junxiong, almost all of them have helpers and do not fight alone.

On this last day, no one can be sure of being the first to burn incense.

Because the competition was too fierce, in addition to the humans who had entered the realm of quality, there were also exotic beasts like the bobcat who had entered the realm of quality. Everyone knew that there would be a fierce battle tonight.

"I didn't expect that he actually tamed a high-grade exotic beast." Gu Feng looked in the direction of Zhao Xing with a cold look in his eyes. "Zhang Boran and Wen Zhao, who had a grudge against him before, were severely injured by him. This man is not only vindictive, but also cruel. Even Cao Qiushui was fooled by him. I will take the initiative to cripple him later."

Gu Feng was afraid of the mountain cat because it was more difficult for the exotic beast to reach a high level. Once it reached a high level, it would be stronger than human warriors, and he was not sure he could defeat it.

But if they could eliminate Zhao Xing first, the Bobcats would not dare to attack with all their might.

"Hahiss!" As if sensing something, the little bobcat poked its head out of his arms and breathed in Gu Feng's direction.

Yang Junxiong, who was riding on a bamboo horse not far away, also suddenly glanced over. He stared at Zhao Xing and Shanmao, as if thinking about something.

"Ding!" A heavy bell sound came from the temple.

The pointer of the sundial also points to the 'Weiwu' area at midnight!
Ten golden light balls floated out from the temple gate.

"Shhhhhh!"

The shadows swayed, and in the darkness, someone suddenly took action, jumping into the sky to snatch the incense.

Gu Feng did not grab the incense first, but instead attacked Zhao Xing first.

“Swish, swish, swish!!”

He shot arrows from the southwest, heading straight for the vital points.

The arrow was like a meteor, and as soon as it was shot, it made Zhao Xing's skin feel stinging.

The lethality of a good archer is extremely high, especially at this distance. To kill a Si Nong is as easy as pie in the sky for Gu Feng!
However, at the moment of shooting the arrow, Gu Feng suddenly felt a chill on his forehead, and the silver bow in his hand trembled.

“Ding!” “Ding ding ding!”

The outcome was beyond Gu Feng's expectation, all his arrow attacks were neutralized!
What surprised him was that the one who blocked the arrow was not Bobcat, but Shen Zhui who was next to Zhao Xing!
At this moment, he held an iron ruler in his right hand and a shield in his left hand.

The shield was originally the "brown hat" on his head, which was a specially made rattan armor. He usually wore it and could take it off and use it as a shield at critical moments. It was a third-grade top-quality treasure!
Gu Feng had thought that the Bobcats could be defended.

But the ordinary young man holding the iron bar was able to block it. He didn't block it with a shield, but chopped his arrow with a knife.

"Where did this master come from? No...it's because the power of my archery has decreased and I have been affected!" Gu Feng was shocked.

The arrows shot by archers are difficult to dodge, and they can still hit the target even if it is a higher level.

He had just used his secret skill, the Heart-piercing Arrow, but now it was blocked by someone! This was definitely not normal!
He had no time to be surprised, because he felt the cool breeze coming again, and the young warrior was chasing after him.

He shot out seven arrows again, trying to stop Shen Zhui.

But this time, both the power and speed became weaker.

The Nine-turn Dark Wind attacked his soul, distracting most of his energy from resisting.

Resulting in the arrow being easily deflected.

"The archer doesn't hide behind and shoot arrows from behind, but stands so far forward. He is simply seeking death!" Zhao Xing controlled the dark wind and wrapped it around Gu Feng's body layer by layer.

The other party regarded him as a threat, and Zhao Xing did the same.

It’s not that he holds a grudge, but among the entry-level warriors present, the archers pose the greatest threat to him.

Because the speed and power of the bow and arrow are so strong, even if facing an eighth-grade warrior, if the body movement is slightly worse, it is possible to be shot to death by a ninth-grade bow warrior.

So when the "only force" moment arrived, Zhao Xing immediately locked onto Gu Feng, and a chilling wind blew from under his feet.

The nine-turn cold wind immediately shook Gu Feng's soul, causing his sense of direction and control over his own strength to decrease.

Therefore, the mountain cat didn't even have to make a move and was directly blocked by Shen Zhui.

"The purpose of etiquette is harmony..."

Wen Zhao activated his etiquette and wanted to help Gu Feng.

"And your mother!"

Seeing that Wen Zhao was ignorant of the danger and wanted to join the battle between the entry-level players, Zhao Xing suddenly shouted loudly and a cold wind rushed into his mind.

"Buzz!"

Wen Zhao felt as if his soul had left his body and his whole body was floating.

"Pfft!"

He fell to the ground simply.

The square was eerily quiet.

Because at the first moment, Yang Junxiong and Du Jiaojiao did not take action to grab the incense, but were observing the movements of the archer and the mountain cat.

To them, archers and mountain cats are equally threatening.

As for archers, they pose a greater threat than mountain cats.

If they jump into the air at the beginning, they will not be able to gain leverage in mid-air and will become sitting ducks for archers.

As for Zhao Xing himself and the young man beside him, they can be ignored.

Gu Feng first aimed at Zhao Xing, which they were very happy to see.

Whether the mountain cat is shot to death or the archer is defeated, the result will be very favorable to Du Jiaojiao and Yang Junxiong.

But what was unexpected was that the archer began to retreat before the mountain cat even made a move.

"What's going on?" Lu Qian looked at this scene, a little confused, "As both of them are entry-level warriors, how could that person block Gu Feng's arrow?"

Du Jiaojiao's eyes radiated a faint golden light, and her bright eyes turned nine times, "It's Zhao Xing, there is a layer of dark wind wrapped around Gu Feng."

"What is Yin Feng?" Liu Muqing was a little curious. She knew very little about Jun Sinong's magic.

"The underground wind is strong and can harm the soul." Du Jiaojiao's eyes were filled with fear. "If the strength soul and hero soul are affected, the body's movements will be deformed and the power will be weakened. In serious cases, the soul may even be blown away."

"One, three, or nine layers of Yin Wind?!" Du Jiaojiao's face changed slightly.

The Nine-Turn Yin Wind was completely beyond her expectations. With this spell, Zhao Xing could be regarded as an intermediate master!

"This man is really insidious, even his magic is like this." Lu Qian recalled the previous experience. Zhao Xing buried a straw man in the soil and pretended to be stupid to trick her into falling into the trap.

"I understand why Cao Qiushui lost last night. It must have been because of this Yinfeng magic." Du Jiaojiao sighed: "It will be difficult to get the first prize tonight. I'm afraid the second prize is in jeopardy."

"It's this move again, it's this move!" Cao Qiu Shui watched Gu Feng being chased by someone, his movements and arrows were deformed, and he immediately knew that he was hit by Zhao Xing's Yin Feng method.

"What do you mean by this move? Which move?" someone asked.

"The Yin Wind spell." Cao Qiushui said with some fear, "If there is no soul-type defensive treasure, this move is unstoppable. At the level of the intermediate ninth level, even an eighth-grade strongman will be affected."

Not far away, Li Chengfeng looked at an old official next to him.

"Brother Zhang, why don't you and I join forces while they are fighting fiercely to seize the initiative for everyone..."

"Moving clouds?" The clerk named Zhang shook his head like a rattle. "Before Zhao Xing left, who would dare to move clouds? Didn't you see that Cao Qiushui didn't move at all?"

Li Chengfeng was stunned: "Is he so powerful?"

The clerk named Zhang pointed to the sky and said, "Last night, we defeated four rank 8 Si-nong first, and then forced Cao Qiu Shui to admit defeat and withdraw. It's not that everyone doesn't want to, but they don't dare. I advise you not to act rashly."

Li Chengfeng had a complicated expression when he heard this. He thought he had a great opportunity and had entered the ninth level of Ju Yuan, which was enough to look down on the crowd. However, he did not expect that Zhao Xing was even more powerful, so that others did not even want to give it a try.

The moment Gu Feng and Shen Zhui disappeared in the Temple of Heaven Square, someone moved.

Yang Junxiong rode on his bamboo horse, jumped up, and headed towards the golden light ball in the air.

"Bobcat, go!"

Zhao Xing patted the mountain cat on the back, and then the mountain cat rushed out and headed straight for Yang Junxiong from another angle.

Unexpectedly, at this moment, Yang Junxiong suddenly jumped off the bamboo horse, and the man and horse separated, with the speed increasing by three points.

At the same time, Zhuma suddenly raised his head and hooves, and suddenly changed direction.

"Da da da~" The bamboo horse's four hooves are shining, and its body is burning with fiery red light, as if a Pegasus is galloping in the sky!

The light from the hooves flickered in the air, and ripples spread out, as if overwhelming the golden light of the incense!

"What? Such a strong evil aura, this is actually a childhood friend with a fighting spirit?!" Mechanic Hu Yang suddenly looked up and couldn't help but exclaimed.

On the other side, Du Jiaojiao also stood up suddenly, and shot out her gun like a dragon straight into the sky: "Zhao Xing, Zong Shichang, get out of the way!!"
