Chapter 539: Top Four Players
Compared with Kou Yuchang and Qu Pingjing, the two Qi refining perfections, Senior Brother Cai's strength is more than one step higher, and he has relied on his true skills to reach the eighth round one by one.
When he met Qingyang, Senior Brother Cai was also surprised, if it was based on strength alone, he felt that he should be able to win steadily, but he knew very well that Qingyang still had a big killing weapon that was useless, that is, the spirit insect wine bee.
The two have worked together for many years, Senior Brother Cai knows a lot about the group of alcoholic bees in Qingyang, it seems that humans and animals are harmless, but the power is very amazing. Senior Brother Cai thought about it for a long time, but he didn't find a way to restrain the alcoholic bee, so he had the idea of admitting defeat.
Of course, this also has something to do with Senior Brother Cai's breakthrough in the quarterfinals and the guaranteed Zhuji Dan, anyway, he has already obtained a Zhuji Dan, and there is little hope of winning the first place in the compound with his own strength, since Qingyang still wants to go down, it is better to fulfill the other party and get a favor in vain.
Qingyang also saw Senior Brother Cai's thoughts, so there was a tacit understanding between the two, first a melee was inseparable, which looked extremely exciting, but in fact, neither side did their best. When the heat was almost over, Qingyang symbolically summoned a small group of alcoholic bees, and Senior Brother Cai tried to deal with it a few times, but found that it was really difficult to deal with, so he simply admitted defeat.
After the eighth round of the competition, the inner courtyard competition decided the top four players, the first one is of course Tong Yan, this Tong Yan broke through the late stage of refining qi for a long time, but as soon as he entered the Qingfeng Palace, he was assigned to the inner courtyard, and now it has been a full twenty years, the starting point is much higher than the other disciples, and later worshiped Elder Jin Dan as a teacher, from which he got a lot of benefits, these years under the careful guidance of Elder Jin Dan, he has become the best among the disciples of the inner court.
The second is the senior brother Gao mentioned by Chen Biwang, who is over sixty years old, and has been a Qi refining perfection cultivator more than ten years ago. This Senior Brother Gao was also an excellent disciple when he was young, but he was unlucky to get to the present, because he was old, he was worried that one Tsukidan would not be enough, so he was determined to win the first place in the inner courtyard this time.
The third is the dark horse Senior Sister Jiao, after eliminating the first favorite Senior Brother Ji in this big competition in the fifth round, she passed three levels in a row, and she was in the limelight for a while. Now many people are more optimistic about her, and even think that she is more likely to win the first place than Senior Brother Gao.
The last one is, of course, Qingyang, a ninth layer of qi refining actually broke into the top four, which surprised many people, but they felt that Qingyang should end here, and none of the remaining three people were easy to deal with. Of course, it is not for nothing that they are optimistic about Qingyang, Lu Dingshan and Chen Biwang are firmly on his side, but this is entirely because of the friendship between them, if the two really make a rational choice, it is estimated that they will have no bottom in Qingyang's heart.
The reason is very simple, Qingyang's luck is too good, and it is too easy to win eight games. Let's not talk about the first five rounds, all the disciples I met were disciples below the ninth level of qi refining, and those with a little strength could get to this point. The opponent in the sixth game, Kou Yuchang, entered the Qi refining perfectly, and his strength was also very average; In the seventh game, the opponent Qu Pingjing did not recover from his injury, which made Qingyang pick up a big leak; As for the eighth game, many people can see that Senior Brother Cai is obviously releasing water.
In the chaos, the ninth round of the big competition began, and it was much easier for the four people to draw lots, under the witness of everyone, the number of matches was quickly allocated, Tong Yan vs. Senior Brother Gao, Senior Sister Jiao vs. Qingyang, the game was played on the same day, and the winner entered the tenth round, and the first place was decided after ten days.
The game soon began, and the two rings started fighting at the same time, Tong Yan and Senior Brother Gao didn't talk about it for the time being, and as soon as Senior Sister Jiao and Qingyang started, a fierce confrontation began.
Qingyang knew that Senior Sister Jiao could go all the way to this point, and was praised by the disciples as the biggest dark horse in this year's competition, and her strength should not be underestimated.
Although Qingyang had already made sufficient preparations, when the real fight started, he still felt great pressure, this Senior Sister Jiao in front of him was obviously a ninth-level Qi Refining Perfection cultivator, but her strength was much higher than that of other Qi Refining Perfection disciples, even compared to the Lingxu Gongzi who had been in the foundation building period that he had met in the Troubled Demon Valley Asking Heart Tower.
This battle was extremely difficult, in the blink of an eye, there was no winner or loser for an hour, and the continuous use of the three-element sword array consumed a lot, fortunately, Qingyang was prepared in advance, and he contained the pill in his mouth, which could be replenished at any time, if the pill really couldn't be replenished, he was not afraid of consuming spirit stones.
However, a battle dragged on for so long, and Qingyang gradually felt powerless, after all, his cultivation was lower than the other party, and the other party who Qingyang could do it could also do it. In desperation, he could only summon the alcoholic bee colony, and with the help of spirit insects, he gradually recovered his decline.
The addition of the alcoholic bee only relieved Qingyang, but it did not form an overwhelming advantage, because Senior Sister Jiao had already prepared a way to deal with the alcoholic bee. There are only four people in the ninth round, and everyone will do research on the others, and the other party knows that he may encounter Qingyang and will encounter alcoholic bees, how can he not prepare in advance?
Senior Sister Jiao prepared a purple light flowing cloud veil, a huge purple gauze scarf cloak, which belongs to the best defensive magic weapon level, and the defense ability is actually very average, the key is that after the true qi is activated, the cloak can release a layer of faint purple mist, which can stun the alcoholic bee.
If Qingyang let the entire group of alcoholic bees rush up together, regardless of the cost, he should be able to break through the defense of the purple light flowing cloud veil, but the loss of the alcoholic bees must be very large, and Qingyang is reluctant to do so, so he can only give up this plan for the time being. The alcoholic bee just played a role in the periphery to relieve some pressure on Qingyang, so neither of them could help anyone for a while.
In the blink of an eye, another hour has passed, and the winner has been decided in the other ring, although Senior Brother Gao's strength is strong, but he is not as good as Tong Yan's means, after more than an hour of vicious battles, he finally lost to Tong Yan accidentally, thus losing the hope of winning the championship.
At this time, everyone turned their attention to this ring, which made Qingyang and Senior Sister Jiao feel a huge pressure, and both of them invariably accelerated the pace of the battle, but the strength of the two sides was about the same, and they had the means to restrain each other, so it was impossible to quickly divide the victory or defeat.
Another quarter of an hour passed, and Senior Sister Jiao was also a little impatient, ready to use a killing move to completely defeat Qingyang, but she didn't want Qingyang to prepare for it a long time ago, so she narrowly avoided Senior Sister Jiao's killing move, and at the same time seized the opportunity to launch a counterattack.
