Chapter 17: The Duel
"Yuchen, wind and snow, Yaoguang, do you smell a very special aroma." Ouyang Qing put down his wine glass and looked at the trio.
"Well, I smell it." The demon king is the three of them, and they all responded.
At the same time, others also smelled this aroma, looked in all directions, and inquired of each other.
This strange fragrance is so special that everyone who smells it has an indescribable feeling.
At this moment, the Demon King heard a sound of breaking the air, his heart moved, and he looked down and saw a disciple of the Ice and Snow Sect, holding a delicate silver plate with both hands, flying into the air and entering the square.
The silver plate had a silver cover, and it was impossible to see what was in the silver platter.
"Elder, the things have been brought here."
This Ice and Snow Sect disciple fell in front of Elder Nuoyan, and handed over the silver plate in his hand respectfully.
"Well, you can go down."
Elder Noyan took the silver plate, put it directly on the table in front of him, and then set sail and said loudly, "Everyone"
This shout brought the attention of the world close to her.
Elder Nuoyan quickly looked around the square, and then quietly smiled and said, "This time, thanks to all of you who have traveled thousands of miles to participate in the ceremony of the disciples of this sect, this sect has also prepared a gift for you as a thank you. ”
As Elder Noyan spoke, he reached out to remove the silver cover, which had not yet been completely removed, and the strange fragrance was spread again, much richer in the early years.
The demon king was shocked and stared at it.
He had now determined that the strange aroma came from the silver platter beside Elder Noyan.
"What is in the silver platter after all," the demon king said secretly.
Soon, the silver cover was completely removed, and the contents of the silver platter appeared in front of the world.
It was a heart-shaped fruit, the size of an adult man's fist, and it was all glazed over.
The outside of the fruit is wrapped in a faint layer of ice crystals, and under the sunlight, wisps of ice mist are scattered from the ice crystals, and there is a dreamlike feeling when you look at it.
"Hiss"
Seeing this fruit, the people in the square gasped and looked at the strange fruit on the silver plate with a trembling face.
"This is the Ice Crystal Holy Fruit"
"It's too luxurious, the Ice Crystal Tree only produces an Ice Crystal Holy Fruit every hundred years, and the Ice and Snow Sect actually uses it as a gift."
"This Ice Crystal Sacred Fruit can be a thousand times more precious than the Ice Crystal Fruit."
The world was overwhelmed by the Ice and Snow Sect's generosity, and they didn't dare to trust such a precious thing, and the Ice and Snow Sect would actually take it as a gift.
In addition to trembling, all the eyes of the people burned into a raging flame.
"No matter what, I'm going to get this Ice Crystal Holy Fruit"
"Ice Crystal Holy Fruit, it can be met but not sought, it has already been encountered, it is necessary for me to take it into my hands"
"With this fruit, my combat power will definitely have a great march, and I must not lose it."
At this moment, whether it was a disciple of the sect's strength or a loose cultivator, they were all excited by this ice crystal holy fruit taken out by the Ice and Snow Sect, and the fierce fighting spirit was announced.
The Ice Crystal Tree will produce a batch of Ice Crystal Fruit every year, but it will only produce one Ice Crystal Fruit every hundred years.
The Ice Crystal Fruit can be used for talismans, alchemy, and refining tools, etc., and in addition to having the same effect, the Ice Crystal Sacred Fruit can also be used to improve the cultivation of the martial artist, concise and purify the body of the martial artist.
Most importantly, it can travel the talents of the person
As far as martial artists are concerned, with the continuous progress of martial arts cultivation and realm, the influence of talent and qualifications will become greater and greater.
After cultivating to the Ancient Realm, martial artists with good aptitude and poor qualifications are more likely to march to a higher realm and step towards the pinnacle of martial arts, which is also the reason why most sects attach more importance to disciples with excellent aptitude and qualifications.
This Ice Crystal Holy Fruit can travel to people's aptitude and qualifications, and its preciousness can be imagined.
Even a disciple with excellent talent will also be tempted by this Ice Crystal Holy Fruit. As the saying goes, there is a sky outside the sky, and there are people outside the world, and not many people will be satisfied with the status quo.
"The Ice and Snow Sect is so big"
In the stands, the Demon King Is, Ouyang Qing and Mu Fengxue also showed trembling expressions.
The Demon King is okay, after being hit by the flame totem, his talent and qualifications have greatly improved. Moreover, in the past year, he has seen a lot of strange things, and his heart trembles less.
And Ouyang Qing and Mu Fengxue are different. This can travel the Ice Crystal Holy Fruit with talent qualifications, and it constitutes a proper deterrent to them, even if the Ice and Snow Sect takes out a superb spiritual weapon as a gift, I am afraid it is not as strong as the deterrent formed by this Ice Crystal Holy Fruit.
"An Ice Crystal Holy Fruit, as far as the Ice and Snow Sect is concerned, I'm afraid it is also extremely precious. However, the Ice and Snow Sect was now taking it out as a gift, and this move obviously had many purposes, and it was by no means as simple as helping the fun. ”
The demon king's mind is flying, and one idea after another is born from the bottom of his heart.
Regarding the purpose of the Ice and Snow Sect, he had some vague guesses, but no matter what the purpose of the Ice and Snow Sect was, he would do his best to grab this Ice Crystal Holy Fruit.
On the main stage, Elder Noyan saw the reaction of the world, nodded with satisfaction, and continued to speak
"You only need one Ice Crystal Holy Fruit, so you can only give it to the most outstanding people. In order to show fairness, whether it is a disciple of the sect, a loose cultivator, or even a disciple of my Ice and Snow Sect, they can all participate in the competition for this Ice Crystal Holy Fruit. However, I hope that all the participants can stop at the point and not hurt people for no reason. ”
The people present all nodded to it, but Elder Nuoyan's words after all won the hearts of the world, and only the elders of several major sects such as the Ancient Sword Soul Sect did not think so.
This Ice Crystal Holy Fruit is too precious, and in order to fight for it, all the people must be doing their best, and it is absolutely impossible to stop it without casualties.
In their opinion, Elder Noyan's words were just a matter of the situation.
"No matter what, we have to grab that Ice Crystal Holy Fruit"
The elders of the Ancient Sword Soul Sect and other major sects all gave orders to the genius disciples under their sects.
Next, Elder Noyan announced some more rules for the competition.
The elders of the strength of each sect are not allowed to participate, this competition is only allowed to participate in the disciples of the strength of each sect, and the minimum of the martial arts realm shall not be lower than the one star of the ancient realm, and the highest shall not be higher than the peak of the ten stars of the ancient realm.
This point, first of all, is aimed at the scattered martial artists, as for the strength of the major sects, almost all of them are genius elites in the sect, and there is no such problem.
After announcing the details of the race, Elder Noyan waved his hand, suggesting that the world should continue to taste melons, fruits, and wine, and then sat down.
"Now that the stage is set, let's see how it goes."
Elder Noyan sat on the main platform, his clear eyes flashing with a light.
The Ice Crystal Holy Fruit is extremely precious, and the Ice and Snow Sect does not store much, assuming that it is not for that matter, the Ice and Snow Sect will not take out this thing.
Whether or not to cooperate further with the county government, there has always been disagreement within the Ice and Snow Sect. The number and strength of the high-level members of the Ice and Snow Sect who suggested that the county government adhere to the existing situation, and the high-level leaders of the Ice and Snow Sect who suggested further cooperation with the county government, were almost entirely appropriate.
Moreover, this kind of disagreement has a tendency to intensify in the recent period, and if it continues like this, the opening of the Ice and Snow Sect is extremely unlucky.
Therefore, when Elder Nuoyan proposed to hold a ceremony for his disciples, the Sect Master of the Ice and Snow Sect held a meeting, and finally chose to hold this ceremony ceremoniously, inviting the strength of the major sects in Xichuan County to come to watch the ceremony, and also hired the strength of many sects from other counties to cover up its original purpose.
Those who were invited to the meeting were all genius elites with the strength of various sects, which was actually a microcosm of the strength of Xichuan County's martial arts.
What the Ice and Snow Sect needed was a race to do its best, not a war in which Tang Sai was finished, so he took out the Ice Crystal Holy Fruit as a gift
The effect of the competition will help the high-level of the Ice and Snow Sect to judge the situation and pattern in Xichuan County, and the Ice and Snow Sect needs this war to help make the final choice plan, so in this game, the disciples of the Ice and Snow Sect will also participate in it.
"Elder Ice Slayer, tell your disciples to do their best, assuming that it is best for their disciples to grab the Ice Crystal Holy Fruit, assuming that they can't, it's okay."
Elder Noyan whispered to a white-robed elder sitting to her right.
The elder sat on the main platform with a wrinkled face, a rigid face, and a stern expression. Hearing Elder Noyan's words, his lips moved slightly, and he replied lightly
Elder Ice Slay responded, his face without any expression, but there was a sharp light in his eyes, which flashed and disappeared.
The Demon King didn't know that this competition was not yet preliminary, and the high-level officials of the Ice and Snow Sect had already preliminarily targeted him.
At this time, he was talking with Ouyang Qing and Mu Fengxue in the stands.
"I really didn't expect that the Ice and Snow Sect would actually take out the Ice Crystal Holy Fruit as a gift," Ouyang Qing sighed.
"The Ice and Snow Sect is not very willing to take out this Ice Crystal Holy Fruit, otherwise, it would not allow the disciples of its own sect to participate in the competition." Mu Fengxue said lightly.
"Well, what the pastor sister said makes sense, but I feel that the Ice and Snow Sect allows the disciples of its own sect to participate in the competition, not because they are reluctant, and there are some other reasons." The Demon King said with his chin on his back.
"Oh, tell me about it." Mu Fengxue raised her eyebrows and asked.
"The Ice and Snow Sect gave such a precious thing as a gift, obviously to influence all those who wanted to get this gift, so that they would fight with all their hearts, and it can be seen from this that the Ice and Snow Sect must have a purpose. As for the Ice and Snow Sect asking the disciples of its own sect to participate, it did have the idea of grabbing this Ice Crystal Holy Fruit, but it was more likely that it wanted to make the competition more intense. As for the purpose of the Ice and Snow Sect in doing this, I don't know very well. The Demon King said step by step.
"Well, your analysis makes sense." Mu Fengxue frowned slightly, and said in a condensed voice, "Perhaps, the Ice and Snow Sect wants to see which of the disciples of the various sects in Xichuan County is stronger and which is weaker." ”
"Quite possibly." Ouyang Qing said in a deep voice, "In the name of observing the ceremony, the Ice and Snow Sect must have a certain purpose in inviting so many sect strengths to come, and it must be one of its purposes to inquire about the strength of each sect. ”
"Heh, no matter what the purpose of the Ice and Snow Sect is, this Ice Crystal Holy Fruit is the ultimate prize of this competition after all, and we can't let it go aside." After the demon king finished speaking, he took the wine glass before setting sail and drank it all.
"Hehe, Yuchen, with you, this Ice Crystal Holy Fruit will definitely be obtained by our Tex." Ouyang Qing said with a smile.
"Senior Brother Ouyang, in this competition, many geniuses have gathered, what is the effect after all, there is no know, Senior Brother is so trusted, I can get it" The Demon King is said with a smile.
"Haha." Ouyang Qing laughed and said, "Yuchen, with your strength, as long as there is no accident, you should be able to grasp this Ice Crystal Holy Fruit." The contestants of this competition, the highest martial arts realm can not cross the peak of the ten stars of the ancient realm, you can even defeat the powerhouse of the six stars of the ancient realm, if you can't get it, I will definitely not believe it. ”
Ouyang Qing's words revealed the origin of his decision.
In the Ice and Snow Sect's martial arts hall, he saw with his own eyes that the demon king defeated Luo Lin, the genius powerhouse of the Nantian County Giant God Sect, with one punch, you know, Luo Lin is a six-star powerhouse in the ancient realm, if it is him, it is very good to be able to resist Luo Lin's aggression.
Moreover, he also knew that the Demon King had defeated a "thundercloud flying lightning". Now, this square has indeed gathered many genius elites with the strength of the sect, and it is not that there are no people who can compete with the Demon King, but there must be only a handful of people with such strength.
That's why *** is so decisive.
Hearing this, the Demon King smiled and said nothing.
The method of competition is a leisurely way to fight, anyone can automatically compete with others, and once they lose, they will immediately lose their qualifications.
It's a win-or-lose game.
The first to open the duel was the scattered martial artists of Xichuan County, and although there were many scattered martial artists in the square, not all of them participated in the battle.
The Ice Crystal Holy Fruit is something that everyone wants, but there are not many scattered cultivators who have the strength to compete.
There were many people with self-knowledge, so the number of people who participated in the battle was far less than the total number of martial artists in the square.
"Bang"
Soon, the whole square was full of explosions, and everywhere was the flow of vitality caused by bumps, and the sound of bumps and roars of vitality rose one after another.
In a short period of time, it is not the turn of the war of the strength of the major sects, so the Demon King Is, Ouyang Qing, and Mu Fengxue all sat in the stands with peace of mind and watched the game.
The Demon King is eating snacks and drinking wine while watching the duel in the square.
