At this moment, the fireworks in the sky bloomed around the moon like countless flowers, and the thin clouds were also dyed with colorful colors; Then it turned into a brilliant raindrop, fell from the sky, and flew towards the location of the pure monk.

At the same time, the "Foehn Fire Lotus" cast by the pure monk also exploded.

The heat is churning, and the flames are dancing.

The water of the Luo River evaporated into a hazy mist, blurring Gu Xu's vision; The blazing flames were like golden giant snakes, and they pounced towards Gu Xu with their teeth and claws.

The audience held their breath.

Whether it is a layman or an insider, they can feel at this moment that the fireworks in the sky and the sea of fire on the ground are extremely powerful spells - as long as ordinary people get a little touched, they may be burned into ashes in an instant.

However, before they could react, the figures of Gu Xu and Jingru Monk disappeared in place at the same time.

Gu Xu's body method is naturally "meteors walking to the moon".

Like a ghost, he flickered and flickered, shuttling between the raging fire.

In the face of this monstrous fire, he knew that he couldn't carry it hard, and he didn't have time to cast complex spells, so he chose to use his body to dodge at the first time.

In addition, he also took out more than two hundred "Xuanbing Talismans" from the "Xianyun Ju" and threw them at the oncoming flames.

The "Xuanbing Talisman" is a very basic talisman.

It can turn into frost, causing the temperature to drop; If you touch an enemy, you can also restrain his movement for a short time.

After Gu Xu's improvement, the effect of these "Xuanbing Talismans" in his hand lasted longer than the original, and the temperature was much lower.

Although in front of the "Foehn Fire Lotus" that is as pure as a monk, the frost created by this "Xuan Ice Talisman" is not enough to see.

However, due to the fact that there are too many of them, it is enough to ensure that Gu Xu will not be injured by the high temperature during the operation.

With his spiritual perception far beyond ordinary people, Gu Xu could perceive that the "Foehn Wind Fire Lotus" cast by a pure monk was still not skilled enough, and there were still many flaws.

After all, most people in the world don't have Gu Xu's amazing understanding.

If you can learn a high-grade spell, you can already be regarded as a genius.

Like a pure monk, it is undoubtedly very difficult to perform the two moves of "King Kong is not bad" and "Foehn Fire Lotus", which are completely different in one attack and one defense, and have completely different artistic conceptions.

So, under the protection of the "Xuanbing Fu", Gu Xu searched for the flaws of the "Foehn Fire Lotus" while flexibly walking through the gaps in the flames.

He knew that as long as he survived a few short minutes, the "Foehn Fire Lotus" would naturally dissipate.

…………

But the Jingru monk was not as relaxed as Gu Xu became.

He performed the ancestral "dragon flying step" of Lingshan Temple, and took flexible steps, trying to avoid the brilliant fireworks falling from the sky.

But he found that the fireworks had always been firmly locked on to him - no matter where he fled, the fireworks would always follow him and could not be shaken off.

Monk Jingru suddenly wanted to swear a dirty word.

But he remembered the precepts of "don't lie" and "don't speak evilly" in Lingshan Temple, and forcibly suffocated the urge to scold back into his stomach.

It's just that the use of high-grade spells consumes a lot of true yuan, and he is now unable to use the "King Kong Incorruptible Body" again to resist Gu Xu's menacing attack.

But he was unwilling to admit defeat easily, and lost the face of Lingshan Temple and his master.

Therefore, he could only hold the wooden stick in his hand and hold it horizontally in front of him, trying to use his natal object and pure true element to build an invisible barrier.

In an instant, the fireworks collided heavily with the True Yuan Barrier.

Brilliant sparks burst out in all directions, making a crackling sound, like a fire tree and silver flowers, gorgeous and dazzling.

Under this violent impact, blood oozed from the corners of the monk's mouth.

He was shot several meters into the air, flew far away, and then plunged heavily into the smoking Luo River.

At this time, he was very glad that he was a martial arts cultivator, and he practiced exercises that could enhance his physique, which was much thicker than ordinary people's rough skin and flesh.

Otherwise, whether it was this huge impact or the almost boiling water of the Luohe River, it would be able to make him die in an instant.

"I really can't imagine that this Gu Xu is just a monk of the third realm...... It's no wonder that Master has been mentioning his name lately," said the monk as he swam towards the shore in a dog-like posture, silently thinking, "This kind of person can no longer be simply called a 'genius'." You should call him a 'demon'. ”

…………

The pure monk left the ring and fell into the river, undoubtedly announcing his defeat.

And Gu Xu still stood on the high platform.

Under his calm gaze, the flames around him gradually extinguished—as if the courtiers had respectfully retired in front of the king after the early dynasty.

The people on both sides of the Luo River were still immersed in the fierce battle just now, and it took a long time to come to their senses.

The cheers, the applause, the cheers, and the loud beating of gongs and drums only then sounded belatedly.

Only this time, there was no beautiful singing in the light tower.

…………

The singers silently waited for the literati in the capital to present new lyrics to celebrate Gu Xu's victory in another round of battle.

But after waiting for a long time, they couldn't wait for any trace of the literati.

"What the hell is going on?"

"Shouldn't that wonderful battle just now be a great subject?"

"Don't they want to take advantage of this great opportunity to be famous?"

…………

An elderly official, dressed in civilian clothes, was silently watching the battle on the riverside.

This person is Yu Changqing, the top student of the latest imperial examination, who was compiled by Hanlin of the Great Qi Dynasty.

He was deeply impressed by the duel just now.

With paper and charcoal in his hand, he considered writing another poem to praise the talented young man on the stage.

However, as soon as he wrote a few words, he frowned, then shook his head and simply tore off the paper in his hand.

The song "Qingyu Case" written by Gu Xu with fireworks came to his mind and lingered.

The word is exquisitely conceived and the language is beautiful; Every word is used just right, outlining the grand occasion of the dazzling lanterns and the sound of music.

As for the lower rhyme, it is even more subtle and tactful, which is endlessly evocative.

Yu Changqing felt that even if he racked his brains, used up all the ink in his stomach, and repeatedly carved words, he would not be able to write a work of this level.

Under such circumstances, if you send your work to the singers of the Lantern Tower, you will only be laughed at by everyone.

"I really can't imagine that a seventeen-year-old monk whose main job is to kill ghosts surpasses us literati who have been reading poetry and books day and night for many years!"

"What a shame!"

Yu Changqing let out a long sigh and looked at Gu Xu with admiration in his eyes.

…………

Different people have different priorities for this fight.

For example, Fu Xiu Jia Xiuguang of Longmen Academy, his face was extremely gloomy.

Ever since he was defeated by Shi Xiaohan with the "Overlord Knife Technique", his mood has been sullen.

However, the "Xuanbing Talisman" that Gu Xu used just now caught his attention.

"How could the effect of his 'Xuan Ice Talisman' last for such a long time?" Jia Xiuguang was dumbfounded, "If I'm not mistaken, the 'Xuanbing Talisman' drawn by the teacher is not so powerful!" ”

"The most important thing is, how can he carry more than two hundred 'Xuanbing Talismans' with him?"

Jia Xiuguang didn't dare to imagine how many of all the types of talisman seals on Gu Xu's body were added up.
