Chapter 39: Competition

While Lin Han was sleeping in the cave, Ji Biao was driving the Golden Feather Boat to look for traces of Huo Yi near Dapeng Peak - Huo Ling said that he had been there all these days and didn't know what he was doing.

In the end, Ji Biao found him on an unknown small mountain, where he was lying on a tall Buddha armor red treetop, leisurely basking in the sun. Seeing Ji Biao coming, he was not surprised, and squinted at the black figure that Ji Biao had blocked the sun: "Yo, it's the condensation period, it only took you more than two months from refining qi to condensing the veins, right?"

Ji Biao did not answer his question, but said with a blank face:

"Where is the place you said last time to win spirit stones in the fight, I'm going!"

On Dapeng Peak, in addition to the historic night market, there has recently been a new trick - gambling test.

The closure of the mountain gate by the Heavenly Sword Sect had the greatest impact not on those low-level disciples and hired farmers who planted the Spirit Valley, but on those first-generation disciples and second-generation disciples who were young but had transcendent status.

Most of these disciples are just teenagers, with outstanding talents, spoiled by all sects and teachers, there is no shortage of spirit stones and magic weapons flying swords, and their time is extremely free. When they didn't close the mountain gate before, they were not constrained, and they didn't have any tasks, they wanted to go down the mountain to experience and practice, and the worst realm was also in the late stage of qi refining, at this age, this realm, going to Yixian City, was also respected.

Moreover, most of these young and vigorous disciples are competitive, they used to be able to go down the mountain to compete with other sects and practice on their own, but now they are locked up in the mountain, and they can only fight with the disciples of their own sect.

These disciples have all been selected to join the Heavenly Sword Sect since childhood, and they have grown up together since childhood, and they have competed with each other, and the fight is also point-to-point, which is not interesting. I don't know who rose first, but when I tried with each other, I added bets, and there were audience witnesses, but I really played a bit of competitiveness. The stakes are getting bigger and bigger, the peak master of Dapeng Peak, Huo Peng, is very business-minded, seeing this, he simply opened up a special test field in Dapeng Peak for them to play, not only to do favors, but also to screen and manage the audience, and to collect the spirit stones of the audience, all of them are handed over to the winners of each night, so that the victory or defeat of a game is at least a few thousand spirit stones, even if it is a generation of disciples who no longer take the spirit stones seriously, they have to be moved.

When Huoyi brought Ji Biao to Dapeng Peak, this kind of gambling test had been going on for more than a month. From the original concealment of the teacher, now most of the elders in the door already know it, anyway, on the Dapeng Peak, although Huo Peng is only a second-generation disciple, his cultivation is not high, but he is very measured, and he is knowledgeable, and he will be filial to the elders in the sect if he has any natural and earthly treasures and good flying swords, and in time, he will definitely occupy a place in the elders' seat, and the elders are still at ease with him, so they all turn a blind eye. So much so that gambling trials have derived a special bet on the outcome. For an unknown person like Ji Biao, who has just arrived and has just entered the condensation period, the odds will generally be about four to one.

The premise is that he can be named.

I have to say that Huo Yi still has some means in the door, don't look at him wearing a sloppy red robe, smiling, but as soon as the audience in the test room saw that this demon was also coming, they all avoided it, many of them were cheated by him, and they only dared to hide behind the crowd and glare. Huoyi swaggered through the crowd with Ji Biao, and went straight to find Huopeng who was resting in the secret room of the competition venue.

This competition field is built underground, it is a natural big karst cave, just at the bottom of Yechang Street, the top of the cave is very high, the place is empty, Huo Peng has let people build some stone tables and stone chairs around it, the middle of the test field is Qingfeng ore paving, these generation of disciples fight with flying swords at every turn, and only Qingfeng stone can withstand such a toss. Now that the competition has started in the test arena, the two second-generation disciples in the middle stage of condensation are fighting, and the audience next to them is watching very attentively.

It is said to be a secret room, but in fact it is a large room separated by stones, there are two attendants guarding in front, and when they saw Huo Yi giving way, they wanted to stop Ji Biao a little, and they were stared at by Ji Biao's cold gaze, although they didn't know who this black-clothed young man who was tightly wrapped from beginning to end was, but they were all in a state of mind and unconsciously got out of the way.

In the room, Huo Peng was chatting happily with several disciples of the Condensation Period, a total of three men and one woman, Ji Biao recognized at a glance that the woman was the double-sword woman he saw competing with others when he went to the Qingyan Peak of the Hidden Sword Elder to steal the spiritual vein, obviously these four people are all first-generation disciples, and they are not wearing the red robes of the second-generation disciples, but they all have the unique arrogance of the first-generation disciples in their expressions.

"Iron rooster!" Huo Yi greeted loudly as soon as he entered, not paying attention to the others at all, and reached out to grab Huo Peng, who was wearing a red robe: "You are earning your family's spirit stones again, so shameless......"

Huo Peng is a very amiable middle-aged man, the rules of the Heavenly Sword Sect are like this, although he is a cut older than these generation of disciples, but according to the rules, he still has to be called senior brother and sister, he is respectfully talking to these generation of disciples about the rules of gambling and testing, and when he saw Huo Yi coming, he immediately smiled: "You monkey, come and knock my bamboo pole again." โ€

"You iron rooster, how can you slander good people out of thin air. Huo Yi pushed Ji Biao behind him forward: "Be optimistic, I'm here to take care of you and make a fortune." โ€

Ji Biao came out today and put on the black clothes he and Lin Han wore when they went to the night market to sell herbs, and even covered their faces, and on the way to come, Huoyi asked him to take it off several times, and he only had an expressionless sentence anyway: "Lin Han said, we want to make a fortune in a muffled voice." โ€

Huo Yi pushed him forward, and Huo Peng only saw a black-clothed young man who was tightly wrapped, and only a pair of eyes were exposed all over his body, but these eyes were indeed good-looking, narrow and long, as bright as stars, and he was not an idle character at first glance.

"This fellow disciple," Huo Peng is a good person, seeing that he deliberately concealed his identity, he simply didn't ask, and asked with a smile: "You are also here to participate in the gambling test?"

"You're not asking in vain. Huo Yi was also very arrogant: "Who fights who in the last few games today, just โ–กโ–ก him away." โ€

Huo Peng looked embarrassed.

"That's not a coincidence. The first generation of disciples behind him were obviously also unprovoked characters, he smiled sideways and said: "The last three have been arranged, it is Senior Sister Xuanyue against Senior Brother Youfeng, Senior Brother An Lan against Senior Brother Xuzimo, the winners of the two groups will compete with each other, and the final winner will take today's spirit stone." โ€

Huo Yi wanted to say more, but Ji Wei had already spoken coldly.

"Then I'll beat them all. โ€

As soon as these words came out, the whole room fell into a dead silence in an instant, and even Huo Yi, who was supporting him, showed a little surprise and shouted: "Ji ......"

Fortunately, he reacted quickly and didn't say Ji Biao's name.

The first to attack was the tall Senior Brother Youfeng, he used a heavy sword, and immediately slapped the sword on the stone table, this beat was probably intentionally infused with aura, and the stone table was suddenly torn apart and shattered to the ground.

"Hmph, where did you come from," An Lan was a small baby-faced, and he was also angry: "Beat us all? โ€

"Then you fight with me. After Ji Biao said this arrogant provocation, he still looked expressionless, and even his tone was flat.

"Fight with you, fight with you," An Lan is also a young man, he is only sixteen or seventeen years old this year, he is the youngest one of a generation of disciples, his personality is out-of-this, he is favored by the elders, and even the indifferent Qingheng Daogu is also very good to him, naturally he has accumulated a lot of treasures, and immediately took out a small jade bottle from his arms: "Five high-grade fire spirit pills, this is my bet today, what do you want to bet, take it out first!"

Even if the top-grade elixir is a precious thing in Yixian County, it has a price but no market, although the market price is five hundred taels of spirit stones, but if you really buy it on the black market, you can't take it for less than seven hundred taels of spirit stones, and this small bottle of elixir alone is already three thousand five hundred taels of spirit stones.

Ji Wei silently took out two small round balls from his arms and put them on the stone chair.

Everyone took a step back, even people like Huo Yi who were not afraid of heaven and earth.

"Thunder Fire Bomb!" An Lan was shocked: "How can you have a Thunder Fire Bomb!"

Ji Biao glanced at him calmly: "What's the matter with you?"

An Lan was choked, although he was angry, but he didn't dare to approach, snorted, and took out a small sword tire from the ring: "Three thousand and two thousand thunder bombs, you have two, don't say I bullied you, this sword tire was picked up by the Tibetan Sword Elder, although the grade is a little second, but the materials are good, and it is a good flying sword after refining......"

"I don't want flying swords. Ji Wei calmly interrupted him.

"Then what do you want? I tell you, this elixir is a good thing......

"I want spirit stones. Ji Biao was very stubborn: "Or valuable herbs." I won't fight you without me. โ€

"Hmph, who said I didn't! Master, what I have is a spirit stone!"

Every ten years of the gambling test, the last three competitions are the focus of the focus, these three are generally a generation of disciples' competitions, the final winner in addition to winning the bet, can also take the entire audience to hand over to the fire Peng's spirit stone.

But in the last three competitions today, an unknown person was suddenly โ–กโ–ก.

Originally, the audience had little interest in this tightly wrapped black-clothed disciple, but after Huo Peng came on the field and explained that the bet on this competition was two thunder bombs and six thousand spirit stones, the audience's enthusiasm was quickly mobilized. Thunder fire bomb is a weapon with great lethality, but only masters who are proficient in refining weapons can refine it, the sword cultivation in the cultivation realm is respected, and the pill medicine master is already rare, and the refiner who takes the sword is even less, so the thunder fire bomb is more valuable than the pill, and those who can have the luxury of the thunder fire bomb are naturally not idle. There are already viewers who are guessing which of the disciples he is in the generation, whether it is because the master is stricter, so he only dares to fight with a mask.

I have to say that Huo Peng is still measured, and a generation of disciples are all treasures in the door, so it is forbidden to use lethal weapons like thunder fire bombs in the gambling test, and there are also hidden weapons that quench poison, and there are doctors on the sidelines with pills on standby, so I am afraid that something will go wrong.

When they entered the inspection, they expressed surprise at Ji Ao's weapon.

This black-clothed disciple who can take out thunder and fire bullets, the weapon is not a flying sword, but a plain ink-black dagger, although it is a little sharper, but it can't be controlled with aura at all, against An Lan, who has a flying sword to attack and defend, what is the difference between this and bare-handed?

An Lan obviously thought that the victory was in his hands, and after Huo Peng announced the start, he couldn't wait to summon the flying sword.

The flying sword in the Heavenly Sword Sect has the most fire attributes, and An Lan's talent in this is very high, but it has a little bit of Yu Jun's charm, and the flying sword castrates like an arrow, bringing up monstrous flames, and rushing straight to Ji Biao on the test field.

Seeing that Ji Biao didn't mean to summon a talisman at all, all the audience let out a worried exclamation in unison.

However, at the moment when the flying sword was about to slash towards his body, Ji Biao's figure was deflected, and he actually dodged the flying sword with speed.

The audience had never seen such a strange body and speed, and immediately gasped.

In the surprised eyes of everyone, the black figure of the young man was like a ghost, and he jumped in the competition field, and actually rushed straight towards An Lan on the opposite side.

"I don't know if I'm alive or dead!" Although An Lan was surprised by his speed, he still smiled contemptuously and summoned the top-grade condensation bead of the body. A curtain of water blocked Ji Biao's face, and at the same time, the flying sword swirled, slashing straight at Ji Biao's back.

However, the moment he summoned the condensation bead, the young man's figure was as fast as lightning, and he had already rushed straight in front of him. Dodging one of his water blades, he actually picked up his right fist and slammed it into the water curtain.

All the audience was shocked by this scene.

The body of a cultivator is the most fragile flesh and blood, not to mention the flying sword, it is the shield of an ordinary magic weapon, which can make people's fists and scalps broken, but this young man infuses his fists with spiritual energy, and uses his own flesh and skin to fight against the magic weapons refined by spirit stones and Jiaoyin?

But what really subverted their inner concept was the consequences of this punch.

Under the punch of that powerful force, the water curtain summoned by the top-grade magic weapon was as fragile as an eggshell, and it collapsed instantly, and countless water droplets splashed out, causing a heavy rain to fall in the entire competition field.

A round blue orb fell to the ground with a dim glow.

Just a punch!

With one punch, a high-grade talisman magic weapon was knocked out of the prototype. Although An Lan's underestimated enemy has a certain responsibility, no matter what, this young man's body is too strong!

"My God, who is this young man?" "What kind of spell is this?" Or is it a physical technique?" "Isn't the flow of physical arts declining a long time ago?

The entire competition hall exploded, everyone was talking with shocked expressions, and even the disciples of the generation who were watching from the side of the competition began to whisper to each other in disbelief, in this uproar, Ji Wei dodged the flying sword that swirled behind his back with an expressionless face, held the ink-black dagger, and slashed at An Lan, who had been stunned by that punch.

"Fellow Daoist, don't!" Huo Peng, who had been watching, shouted loudly on the sidelines, there was no one more anxious than him, this test field was opened by him, if this weird young man killed and injured An Lan, how would he explain to the sect!

An Lan was so shocked that he only had time to hurriedly summon a fire shield, dodge sideways, and even forgot to control the flying sword, and flew above the cave with his hand, slashing into the thick stone wall.

The ink-black dagger tore the fragile fire shield to pieces, and smeared it straight towards An Lan's neck, behind Ji Wei, the anxious Huo Peng had already made a move, and countless fire nets were all netting towards Ji Wei who was about to kill him.

Less than an inch away from An Lan's neck, the dagger stopped. Rao was like this, and the sharp aura on the dagger still cut a bloody mark on An Lan's neck. Ji Biao turned around expressionlessly, grabbed the net with one hand and headed it towards his own fire net, used the dantian aura, and dragged it fiercely.

Countless screams rang out at the same time, and together with Huo Peng, more than a dozen guards who controlled the fire net were dragged into the competition hall by the fire net.

"Senior brother's subordinates are merciful!" Huo Peng hurriedly lowered his posture: "We didn't mean to interfere, we were afraid that Senior Brother would hurt Senior Brother An Lan!"

Ji Biao didn't pay attention to him, but threw it casually, and the attendants who were dragged by the fire net all fell out.

Then he turned his face and said calmly to An Lan, who was pale with fright:

"You lost, give me the spirit stone. โ€
