Chapter 248: Back to Back [Seeking monthly votes! ]

"Lei Zhen actually lost."

Many people found this result unbelievable.

Although Liang Yue had the upper hand in terms of cultivation, Lei Zhen was, after all, a disciple of the Imperial Master, and had been famous for a long time. He had been rampant in Longyuan City, and had repeatedly defeated opponents who were stronger than him. Few people thought that Liang Yue, who had just broken through, could have the upper hand, and Lei Zhen was also strong enough in the scene just now.

But Liang Yue suddenly performed his own sword moves, which amazed everyone as soon as they appeared.

"So strong..." Zhao Xinzhu's eyes were empty as he murmured, "He's still getting stronger. It turns out that I can never beat him."

"Don't think like that. The more you think like that, the more it will become a demon in his heart." Wu Handing comforted him, "So what if he can't win? If he meets a stronger opponent in the next round, he will lose the same. Maybe you will advance without even meeting him."

"I hope so." Zhao Xinzhu closed his eyes and tried to get rid of the shadow in his mind.

She was a young genius, and a famous chivalrous woman in the martial arts world. She was full of pride since she was young. She was not unaware of her own strength. If she lost to people like Wen Yifan and Qi Yingwu, she would not feel bad no matter how many times she lost.

But in the two times she met Liang Yue, each time when she thought she was sure to win, the other party suddenly increased his power and defeated her. The feeling of loss and disappointment of being slapped in the face really tortured her.

At the moment, she was obviously no longer Liang Yue's opponent, so she didn't dare to think that she would have a chance to take revenge in this selection match. She just hoped that she would not meet him again on the ring in the future.

Isn't it true that she didn't understand what Wu Handing said?

But the knot in her heart is hard to untie. Unless she really wins once, it is impossible to get rid of this demon in her heart.

"There's a long way to go." Zhao Xinzhu let out a long sigh and slowly calmed down.

As long as I don't meet him this time.

Du Jian and Liu Deng'er helped Lei Zhen down. His body was cut by the sword, leaving deep grooves and blood. Fortunately, the Buddha pattern protecting his body was strong, so these were only superficial injuries. Liu Deng'er put her handprint on his back and gently cast a ray of soft golden light around him, and the wounds healed at a speed visible to the naked eye.

"Deng'er, you will also have a competition later, so you don't need to waste your energy healing me." Lei Zhen said weakly.

"Okay." Liu Deng'er nodded and withdrew her hand that was used to heal the wound.

"Ah..." Lei Zhen was stunned.

I'm just being polite, but you're really going to take it back? You're too obedient.

But he was a tough guy after all, and he couldn't say "give me a little treatment" anymore, so he had to use his own energy to stop the bleeding and heal the wound. Fortunately, Liang Yue still had some strength left, and there was not too much sword energy attached to the blade, so the healing was not that difficult.

Although people usually don't hold back during a fight, the damage caused by attaching sword energy at the time is almost the same, and it will only increase the difficulty of healing afterwards, so it is really unnecessary.

After a while, he finally exhaled a breath of foul air, opened his eyes, looked at the brothers and sisters in front of him, and said with some guilt: "I'm sorry, I brought shame to Dragon Tiger Hall."

"It's okay." Du Jian comforted him, "Your comprehension is too low, and you've been stuck at a bottleneck for a long time and can't break through. Your cultivation is weak, and you already knew that you'd lose. There's no difference between losing in the second round and the third or fourth round. These are all within the Master's expectations, and he won't blame you."

“……”Lei Zhen was silent.

It is such a blessing to have such brothers and sisters. Each one of them is more heartwarming in their words and deeds.

Liu Deng'er seemed a little absent-minded. She didn't look at Lei Zhen, but looked around, as if she was looking for something. Finally, her eyes were fixed on a Northern warrior in the distance. The other person stood solemnly, with a hint of suppressed hostility between his brows.

There are more than one person like him in the field.

Liu Deng'er looked around a few times, looking thoughtful.

……

Not long after Liang Yue, Lin Fenghe appeared.

He came from nowhere and landed on the stage, immediately greeted by a round of boos from the audience, "Whoa—"

Just a few days ago, the impression of Lin Fenghe by the people of Shendu was still that he was the mysterious number 17 on the Young Unicorn List. They only knew that he was a disciple of Xuanmen, but they had never seen him take action. After the performance of the past two days, he successfully became the public enemy in the eyes of the audience in the parade ground.

This person... is really good at pretending!
Someone come and take it away from him quickly!

Everyone had this thought in their mind. The opponent opposite him was a Taoist disciple in a long robe. Although he looked young, he had a calm temperament. He was obviously a genius disciple from an orthodox practice. But when facing Lin Fenghe, this disciple was a little nervous.

If you lose to others, you lose. Even the most famous people can lose, just like Lei Zhen from the Dragon and Tiger Hall who just lost. As a famous and powerful person, it doesn’t really matter. Anyway, the battle to capture the city only requires seven people.

But losing to Lin Fenghe is different. You don’t know what tricks he will play. If you lose even a little, you may become the background board for him to pretend and be criticized for the rest of your life.

Sure enough, after stepping onto the stage, Lin Fenghe turned around, facing away from the Dao Palace disciple, and said loudly: "As long as you can make me turn around, you win."

Fuck you.

The Taoist disciple looked speechless. Why do you have so many tricks? Just fight well. If you lose, you lose. If you win, you win. Can't you?

As expected, the audience was once again excited by his behavior and they all cheered for the Taoist disciple, "Beat him!"

"You are so good at pretending. I can't stand it anymore. Don't come down until you defeat him!"

"Give him a kick in the ass!"

"..."

The cheering from below felt like a pressure to this Taoist disciple. He was only a B-level cultivator before, and was an inferior horse to Lin Fenghe, who was at the top of the Young Unicorn Ranking. Now that so many people suddenly wanted him to win, what could he use to win?

This inner struggle eventually turned into anger. The Dao Palace disciple frowned and shouted, "Then I won't be polite."

He clenched his hands and pushed forward fiercely, and the ring was broken into pieces. Hundreds of green vines emerged from under Lin Fenghe's feet, surrounding him and tying him up like a dumpling in an instant! These vines were full of strength and had some toxins. Once they were tied tightly, it would be impossible to break free.

However, the space on this stage is not very large, and this kind of range control ability is the most difficult to avoid.

It can be seen that the cultivation of this Taoist Palace disciple is extremely solid, and his first move is to use the most targeted magical power.

But Lin Fenghe had no intention of dodging. While the Taoist Palace disciples were casting spells, he drew his bow and arrow, and pulled out three feather arrows with his right hand, shooting them straight into the sky.

shhhhh--

Three streams of light rose into the sky and disappeared into the clouds.

Just when the green vines were about to tie him up, the first stream of light drew an arc in the air and fell down again.

The originally faint light turned into a sharp platinum arc of light, accompanied by a whistling wind sound, sharp and piercing.

Seeing this, the Taoist disciples had no time to pursue the victory, but quickly changed their seals. Immediately, a layer of dense green vines rose from under their feet, extending to the top of their heads and entangled together, protecting him tightly, as if building a grave for himself.

boom!
The first arrow fell with great momentum, the white light and the green light rubbed violently, and finally dissipated halfway, revealing the arrow stuck in the green vine.

But just as the first arrow passed, the second black arrow fell in an instant, carrying with it a deep cold air that condensed the clouds in the sky, and fiercely smashed into the green vine barrier, once again emitting a strong green light.

The green vines wrapped around Lin Fenghe's body retracted, which showed how much pressure the Taoist disciple had to withstand the two arrows.

After a while, the black light dissipated, and a thick layer of ice covered the green vine, but it finally blocked the arrow.

But there was no time to even catch his breath as the third arrow came right after.

This arrow is a blazing red-gold meteor of fire!

Boom——

As soon as an arrow fell, half of the arena was covered in flames. In an instant, the spectators who were close to it were overwhelmed by the blaze. The masters of the Ministry of Rites around them immediately formed a formation to block all the blasts and prevent them from spreading.

For a moment, everyone was in panic and surprised.

When the smoke cleared, there was no arena on that side, let alone the Dao Palace disciples on it. On the left side, there was only a small section of the arena left, and there was still a person standing with his back to the arena, looking calm.
