Chapter 39: The Quarterfinals
At night, in the Yanghe Palace, Langxiong looked at Jin Zai who was kneeling on the ground, and said angrily: "You actually lost the game! And you lost to a cook who can't reach the middle heaven realm!
"It's all bad for apprentices, and I ask the master to calm his anger. ”
"Anger, such a funny thing is actually on the head of our Qingxiao Palace, how can I be angry!"
Jin Zai knelt on the ground, not daring to raise his head, he said: "Master, it's all my fault for being careless, I deserve to be punished." But that kid is so fast that he can instantly block several of my big holes and make me incapacitated. Senior Brother Hu will compete with him tomorrow, so you still need to be careful..."
Hu Tian was standing not far from Jin Zai, he listened to Jin Zai's words, but smiled coldly, and said, "Take care of yourself, that kid can't touch half a hair of me at all!"
Liang Qing was also very curious about this matter, he walked over and asked Langxiong: "Master, did Drum Thunder say anything about this competition?"
Langxiong snorted and said, "That old guy, I asked him today, he is a little distracted, I don't know what medicine is sold in this old ghost gourd?"
Liang Qing was a little skeptical: "Could it be that even Elder Drum didn't see how Yan Han made a move?"
Lang Xiong glanced at Liang Qing coldly and said, "What do you want to say to me? Do you want to tell me that the cook is actually a master of the hidden world?
Lang Xiong turned to sneer loudly: "If you lose to a cook who has not reached the Middle Heaven Realm, my face will be lost by you!" The entire Sanatorium Hall was buzzed to the ground, and Liang Qing was so frightened that he took three steps back and didn't dare to make a sound.
The ranking of the sixteen into the quarterfinals is soon known, Yan Han against Hu Tian, in the first ring, the time is the morning after tomorrow. This sorting, nothing special, no surprises, no matter who he is against, no one expects Yan Han to win the second game. It's just that when Zhang Ting'er drew this lot, she specially instructed Yan Han that Hu Tian shot too heavily, which had been heard in the previous games, so Yan Han must be careful. Yan Han promised her that she would protect herself.
In the 16-8 competition, only two rings were set up and it took two days to complete. This layout is to cater to the spectators, because by the end of every game, people don't want to miss it.
The time soon came the next morning. Yan Han shook his spirits and came to the first ring, and at this time he was accompanied by all the disciples of Zixiao Mountain.
Since there are only two rings, and Hu Tian will appear in this ring, the audience is crowded. Hu Tian had already gathered a very high level of popularity in the previous competition, and among many disciples of Qingxiao Palace, the name Hu Tian had already been a symbol in just a few days, he symbolized Qingxiao, symbolizing the Ten Thousand Swords Heart Technique.
Some people say that in the entire Shenxiao faction, Shenxiao Palace is good at purple thunder, Qingxiao Palace is good at ten thousand swords, and Bixiao is good at Xiaotianhuo, which seems to have a certain truth. Judging from the statistics of previous masters, the vast majority of the masters in Shenxiao Palace are mainly based on the Purple Thunder Technique, while the masters of the Qingxiao Palace are mainly based on Ten Thousand Swords, although there are not many masters in the Bixiao Palace, but without exception, they are all based on the Xiaotian Fire Heart Technique.
Each sect has its own set of explanations and teachings on the Fa Decision, and each Fa Decision is not comprehended for decades, which is also the reason for the uneven attainments of the various palaces to view the Fa Decision. Besides, the three major Dharma decisions must have an "introduction" in order to practice, and no one knows what this introduction is.
Hu Tian is a Dongtian boy and a disciple of the new generation, and he is infinitely favored by the Langxiong Palace Master and other elders of Qingxiao. It is said that in Qingxiao Palace, Hu Tian's internal strength ranking has surpassed Liang Qing. Now Hu Tian's status is in full swing in Qingxiao Palace, but in various sub-views, there are many elder-level figures who have just begun to know Hu Tian.
The referee in the first ring was still Lian Jue, and his deep voice signaled everyone not to be too noisy.
Yan Han was the first to walk on stage because he arrived early. Seeing the thousands of pairs of eyes in the audience, Yan Han was a little uncomfortable, but fortunately he saw that the fellow disciples of Zixiao Mountain under the stage were gathered here, and everyone looked at him with a concerned gaze, even Zhang Fangfang, who hated him the most, which made him feel a little warm in his heart.
Zhang Ting'er nodded to him, which gave him some courage.
Many people don't know why Yan Han was able to come to this ring, and those who know how to use the dizzy technique to peep at the inner dan are even more puzzled, because in their eyes, Yan Han's inner dan cultivation has not yet reached the middle heaven realm, which means that he can't use the heart method at all!
Hu Tian's face is pockmarked, but he is very temperamental, wearing a black tight-fitting suit and a black and shiny cloak behind him, this is a typical Hu Tian dress, and the image has been deeply engraved in people's hearts.
Hu Tian slowly walked to the ring, shook the cloak, and landed under the stage, and several Qingxiao disciples in the audience scrambled to grab the cloak thrown down by Hu Tian, and the stammering strength made people look not very comfortable.
Hu Tian reported to his home: "Hu Tian, disciple of Qingxiao Hu Guangdian, Gaze Heaven Realm!"
At such a young age, he has already reached the stage of the Heavenly Stage, and this cultivation speed can be described by the word terrifying! There are very few disciples of the new generation of disciples who dare to fight for the internal competition, and Hu Tian not only enters the internal competition, but also strives for the first and second places!
Yan Han seemed to be suppressed by Hu Tian's momentum, and his voice was a little small: "Yan Han, the fire head of Zixiao Red Emperor Garden, quasi... He has not yet reached the Middle Heaven Realm. ”
Although the voice was small, as soon as these words came out, almost everyone in the audience burst into laughter.
Lian Jue frowned, he really didn't know how this game would be, and he didn't know how Yan Han had managed to get through the last game. Lian Jue waved the flag in his hand and said to the two people on the stage: "The game begins!"
The audience immediately fell silent, and Hu Tian stood there just looking at Yan Han coldly, but he could see the fierceness and viciousness in his eyes. Is he planning to avenge the shame of his brother's last game here?
"Let's shoot!" Hu Tian said coldly.
Yan Han looked at Hu Tian's domineering body, the slightest chill from his bones, Yan Han could feel his danger. So he used the fifty-six thousand thousand divine appearances and the fifty-six thousand armor techniques at the beginning. Yan Han had never verified what effect this extreme mental method he had cast, maybe today was the time.
Under Hu Tian's cold gaze, Yan Han moved, and it moved extremely strangely, leaving a string of white shadows and floating to Hu Tian's side, and his two fingers gently slid on Hu Tian's body a few times, and then jumped away.
Yan Han's simple actions made Hu Tian and the people in the audience who looked down on him immediately lose their voices. Hu Tian's sword had already slashed into the ground at some point, and a drop of cold sweat oozed from his forehead at that moment.
In fact, in that short moment, Hu Tian Vajra Jue and the Giant Sword Duel were cast at the same time, drawing the sword and splitting the sword in one go. Hu Tian knew very well how dangerous it was just now, and he almost made the same mistake as his senior brother Jin Zai, that is, he despised the opponent in front of him too much! He finally understood why Senior Brother Jin would lose at the hands of this person in front of him.
The audience exclaimed, some disciples still didn't see it clearly, but they saw Hu Tian's nervousness, and the masters in the audience also saw the most weird scene.
Lian Jue's eyes were almost bigger than a cow's eyes at this time, looking at Yan Han's inner dan airflow, it was a thousand thousand divine appearances that would not be fake, but he didn't understand that the speed of thousands of divine appearances in Yan Han was dozens of times higher!
Jin Jae glanced at the surprised master, as if he wanted to get back the compensation for yesterday's grievances.
The people of Zixiao Mountain were even more surprised, Zhang Ting'er was amazed on the side, she was not only surprised by Yan Han's speed, but also strange how he learned the mental method when he didn't even reach the Zhongtian Realm. Even Qian Mu, Zhang Fangfang and others who had learned Yan Han's hand law were stunned by his realm of thousands of gods at this time.
Hu Tian retracted his arrogance, he gently shook the giant sword that smashed on the ground, and snorted coldly: "I can't see it, you really have two hits!"
Yan Han also sighed in his heart at this time, Hu Tian's reaction was not an order of magnitude at all with Jin Zai, and Hu Tian could complete two mental methods and a series of actions in that instant, which was enough to prove that he was the first person in Qingxiao.
Yan Han was annoyed at this time, this game might be over, because once his opponent took precautions, he would fall short, because his silkworm winged hand couldn't pierce the Vajra Jue at all. Yan Hankong has a confident speed, and there is nothing to be done.
Hu Tian's giant sword moved, he held the sword in one hand, and a powerful sword qi smashed in the direction of Yan Han, and the sword qi formed a wind on the table, urging Hu Tian's hair to flutter everywhere.
This temperament has won the favor of many female disciples. Men never rely on their looks to win women's hearts, they rely on domineering and strength!
Hu Tian's sword qi was enough to cover half of the ring. Yan Han struggled to dodge the core attack part of Hu Tian's sword qi, but was swept by the sword qi at the edge, and Yan Han's Xuan armor had a layer of faint ripples, still strong as usual.
"This is the Xuanjia technique? How is it possible? The Vajra Jue can't stand the sweep of Senior Brother Hu, how can the Xuanjia technique not be broken?" Jin Zai said in surprise in the audience.
"I can't imagine that someone can take the time to practice the two waste mental methods to such a high level!" Lang Xiong said to himself naturally on the side.
I don't know when, the wind thunder next to him took over: "The old man really can't figure it out, he just has such a little inner pill spiritual power, how can he do it? The initial mental method of the Middle Heaven Realm, the master will indeed be different, but I try to ask, I am still far from reaching this level." ”
"That's strange, it's impossible for his Neidan cultivation to deceive my eyes. ”
"However, have you seen it, this Yan Han doesn't even have a magic sword, he either doesn't have attack skills. Some people are born with one or two low-level mental techniques, which was a special case in the past. ”
Lang Xiong seemed to be comforted after hearing this, and nodded slightly.
On the stage, Hu Tian waved his giant sword and constantly attacked Yan Han, making the stage full of smoke and dust, but he was never able to hit Yan Han.
Yan Han could only dodge at this time, because he didn't know how to break Hu Tian's Vajra Technique.
After a while, Hu Tian suddenly stopped, stood there, and asked in a cold voice, "What, will you only hide?"
"At the moment, yes. ”
Hu Tian smiled coldly: "Originally, I had a skill that I didn't leave for you, but now I'm tired of this kind of entanglement." Hu Tian said, his giant sword had shrunk into the sheath, he folded his hands together, and suddenly chanted: "Ten Thousand Swords Heart Formula!"
The audience applauded thunderously, how many people wanted to see Hu Tian's Wanjian, because his Wanjian represented perfection, and Hu Tian had only used Wanjian in one game before, so he became famous.
The reason why the disciples of the Three Palaces can cultivate the Three Techniques in advance is because the Three Palaces follow a way of borrowing and practicing. That is to say, among the disciples of the Three Palaces, the disciples who entered the top eight in the last Jiuyun Meeting, the magic rewards they received should be given to the disciples who participated in the next Jiuyun Meeting, so that every time the disciples of the Three Palaces participated in the Nine Games, they had the three major formulas to rely on and could be invincible.
This is also the reason why Zhang Qinghe, Liang Qing, Hu Tian, etc., can all practice the three major methods in advance.
A brilliant sword shadow rushed straight into the sky from behind Hu Tian, and in a short time, this sword shadow suddenly split forty-five sword shadows and shot down from the sky.
It can be said that Hu Tian is contrived, but I have to admit that his moves are very good-looking and imposing. Forty-five flying swords mean strength, and it means the fifth-level Ten Thousand Sword Heart Technique!
At the moment when the forty-five flying swords flew towards Yan Han, the Zixiao Guan disciples in the audience were exclaiming, and Qian Mu held his breath at this time.
Zhang Ting'er hopes that Yan Han can see her eyes, she wants to signal Yan Han to give up the game immediately, only she understands how dangerous Yan Han's current situation is, but there are rules for the game, and the people in the audience are not allowed to support the behavior on the stage, let alone remind or instruct.
"I'm afraid this kid's life will not be saved!" some even closed their eyes.
What is Wan Jian, Wan Jian is a very subtle sword technique, with a certain function of guiding and tracking the target, and the sub-sword released is a physical sword, which is generally difficult to dodge, not to mention that Hu Tian released forty-five sub-swords!
Ten Thousand Swords had already established an extraordinary status in the Fang Immortal Continent thousands of years ago.
Yan Han's fifty-six Thousand Thousand Divine Appearance was quietly cast, his eyes stared at the sword shadow flying in the air, even if the Thousand Thousand Divine Appearance had visually slowed it down dozens of times, he could still feel the ferocity of the sword momentum.
Yan Han shook off his body and dodged the flying sword at an incomparable speed, he didn't panic. He is on the stage, like dancing a gorgeous dance, every time the sword shadow flies is very thrilling, but every time he saves the danger.
One, two, three... When the five sub-swords lost power and were inserted into the ground, Hu Tian would replenish the five sub-swords from behind him again, and the sub-swords on the ground disappeared with them.
In this way, Yan Han insisted on half a pillar of incense for a long time, and everyone in the audience looked at the stage blankly, they were not only amazed by the splendor of Hu Tian's ten thousand swords, but also amazed by Yan Han's evasion ability. Being able to insist on half a pillar of incense time under the Ten Thousand Sword Heart Technique, it can be said that since the start of the Ninth National Games, no participating disciple can do it.
But Yan Han's situation is also very dangerous, sweat has soaked his forehead, Yan Han has no chance to breathe, because Hu Tian will not give him a chance, every time the five sword shadows disappear, Hu Tian will make up for it as usual.
At this moment, a sword flew sideways, Yan Han was unable to dodge due to his physical exhaustion, this sub-sword scattered his Xuanjia shield, but fortunately it did not hurt Yan Han.
The audience exclaimed, but they were shocked that Yan Han's Xuanjia Technique could actually resist the Ten Thousand Swords Heart Technique!
Hu Tian was also surprised by Yan Han's Xuanjia effect, but his gaze suddenly became colder, and he recited a few words of mantra again.
Suddenly, Hu Tianzi's swords came in pairs, turning into twenty-two pairs of singles, and the attack speed was one after the other, with almost no intervals.
Yan Han immediately understood Hu Tian's intentions, he wanted to use the first flying sword to shatter his Xuanjia shield, and the second was a fatal blow, the intention could be described as ruthless.
Yan Han's physical exertion was too great, his movement trajectory was a little unbalanced, at this time, a pair of swords flew from the back, Yan Han couldn't dodge, the flying sword in front of him shattered the Xuan Armor, and was grazed by the flying sword that followed. The crisis made Yan Han realize that his situation was imminent.
He subconsciously thought, this is definitely not the way, he may have two endings, either give up the game, or die in the ring, but unless it is a last resort, admitting defeat is definitely not Yan Han's style!
At this moment, Hu Tian's Five Dao Flying Sword was exhausted again, and just as he continued to replenish, Yan Han inadvertently observed that Hu Tian was using the inner pill spiritual power to release the five sub-swords, and in the process of release, Hu Tian needed to inhale the true qi of his body, and the inner Dan nest was closed one by one, and when he inhaled, the spiritual mist of the Vajra Mana Shield on his body became extremely weak.
Yan Han suddenly realized that this might be his only breakthrough point, to attack the moment Hu Tian released the Zi Sword.
In the process of releasing the mental method, Yan Han also needs to collect the spiritual power of the whole body to the dantian before it can be released outward, and in the process of retracting, the whole body needs to absorb the spiritual power stored in various parts of the body. And his silkworm wing hand is precisely to use spiritual power silk to penetrate the various acupuncture points of the body, so the best time to penetrate is the moment when the body absorbs the spiritual power to gather the dantian, that is to say, the silkworm wing hand can penetrate into the opponent's body when the opponent casts a spell.
Yan Han was extremely excited when he thought of this, although he knew that this bold idea was dangerous, but he was willing to try it, even if it was risking his life, this was his persistence and persistence in discovering new things.
When his spirit was uplifted, Yan Han's movements became more flexible, under his calculations, Hu Tian would pause every time he fired the fifth sub-sword, and when the fifth sub-sword lost momentum, that was when he made a move!
The third sword, the fourth sword...
Yan Han's eyes almost lit up, and he was waiting for the fifth sword!
When Hu Tian folded his hands and recited the formula silently again, Yan Han moved!
Yan Han flashed the thirteen swords in front of him and the twenty-seven swords flying from the side at an incomparable speed, he came to Hu Tian's side, and slid his fingers on Hu Tian's body a few times, the speed of the technique was so light that only a few masters in the audience could see it clearly, and Yan Han immediately jumped away after it was over.
Hu Yue's movements stopped abruptly, his eyes widened, and he stared at Yan Han blankly, his other five flying swords didn't wait for them to come out, but the forty swords flying in the sky suddenly fell to the ground, as if there was a rain of swords.
Hu Tian slowly squatted down, one shoulder drooping on the ground, losing support. He looked up at Yan Han unwillingly, and said, "You...", and finally he had to spit out a few words: "I didn't expect me to lose!"
Saying these words from Hu Tian's mouth in person made all the audience present incredulous, and they still looked at the stage quietly.
Zhang Fangfang suddenly shouted happily in the crowd: "We won!"
Immediately after that, all the people in Zixiao Mountain were boiling! Whether it was Guo Ziliu, Bai Suitai, Hu Zhe or Lu Huiyang, they seemed to have lost all their mustard all at once, and shouted together.
Zhang Ting'er looked at Yan Han on the stage with a smile, and shed tears excitedly. Zixiao Mountain has waited for the first quarterfinals for hundreds of years, how not to make people excited.
Lian Jue seemed to have just woken up from his trance, and immediately announced loudly: "Zixiao Mountain Yan Hansheng!"
Yan Han's name was known to all the disciples of the Shenxiao Sect at once, he was a dark horse, an incomparable dark horse!
Yan Han walked off the stage tiredly, with a smile on the corner of his mouth, but he didn't expect that the first person to run over to greet him was Zhang Fangfang, she gave Yan Han a big hug, and what was even more unexpected was that she actually guarded thousands of viewers and kissed Yan Han on the cheek. Her performance was so natural, so innocent, so beautiful, no one gossiped about it, and Xue Tong didn't feel uncomfortable, but Yan Han's face was crimson, maybe she wanted to be crooked.
Yan Han was hugged by the people of Zixiao Guan, Qianmu looked at him from afar, a sweet smile appeared on the corner of his mouth, Yan Han saw it, he was convinced that it was the most beautiful smile he saw, but it seemed to be blurry.
At this time, Li Hao and Luo Wuyong ran over, patted Yan Han, and said with a smile: "I can't see that you really have a hand, brothers are really happy for you!"
"Thank you, I didn't think it was too early to say goodbye to you, and now we still have a chance to play chess. ”
"No problem!" several people readily agreed.
Not far away, in the camp of Qingxiao Palace's disciples, the corners of Langxiong Palace's mouth were constantly twitching, this was already his second disciple with his waist folded in Yan Han's hands, including his best disciple. He watched Yan Han walk far away, and none of the disciples around him dared to squeak, because they knew that the master's thunderous wrath had already been arrowed at Xuan.
